Chapter 25 Recruit

Because of the last good relationship, he met Meng Hu again. Although Xu Jinghong's identity had changed, the other party still received him very affectionately. After a few words of greeting, Meng Hu rushed to ask directly, "Brother Xu, did you come to patrol my camp today for business?"

"General's clear sight!" Xu Jinghong nodded: "You must have received a notice from the Gyeonggi government and asked you to do me some help, right?"

"Not bad! I don't know how you plan to ask us to patrol the city camp to help you? He said, "Now we don't even know where the Black Panther Gang people are hiding, but how to deal with them?"

"I haven't thought about this yet. I just want to borrow some horses from the patrol camp to attack the Panthers at any time. I wonder if the general can agree? Xu Jinghong quickly expressed his intention.

"How many people do you want?" After a little meditation, Meng Huchong asked, which was obviously to agree to the other party's request.

Xu Jinghong smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be too much. One or two hundred people is enough. However, these people must be the elite in the patrol camp, and they must also obey my dispatch during this period. I don't know if the general will borrow someone to use it.

In terms of the relationship between Xu Jinghong and Meng Huchong alone, it is impossible for the latter to send his subordinates to use. But because there are too many people involved in this matter, Meng Huchong does not want to be too involved in the matter of the Black Panther Gang, thus offending some people, so after a trade-off, he still nodded and agreed, "Well, I think we will also agree to your request and give you 200 elites for the peace of Daliang City. And they will all obey your instructions and orders during this period!"

"Thank you, General Meng, for your help. If you succeed this time, I will definitely report everything to the court!" Xu Jinghong happily thanked and stood up: "In this case, it's not too late. Let's go and choose people."

Of course, Meng Huchong had no reason not to agree to this proposal, so he attracted Xu Jinghong and others to the campus, and then ordered people to mobilise thousands of people in the camp.

The patrol camp has not been a big deal for a long time, and the military heart has long been abandoned. Even if they heard the sound of the drum, the soldiers still moved slowly. It was not until a moment that everyone appeared on the school field, but the formation was a mess. This scene fell into Xu Jinghong's eyes, making him sigh slightly, while Meng Huchong was angry, which was clearly on his face.

It was not easy for a thousand people and horses in the patrol camp to line up the square array, which seemed to be a little military. Meng Huchong explained to them the purpose of summoning everyone today with a black face: "... Now, we have to select elite and capable people from among you to help Team Xu fight against the Panther Gang. You all cheer me up. If something goes wrong because of your incompetence in this matter, I will definitely not have been spared!"

The soldiers showed a reluctant expression. They could have rested in the barracks, but now they have to do their own business, and it is such a difficult and offending job that not many people are willing to do it. However, in the barracks, the military order is everything. Even if everyone is unwilling to say it, they dare not say it directly, but some clues can still be seen from their expressions.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jinghong frowned again. If he fights against the Panther Gang in this state, he is not sure that he can win this battle. Fortunately, he had a certain preparation, so he stepped forward after Meng Huchung and said, "I know you are not very interested in destroying this Panther Gang. I think this is a hardship that has nothing to do with you. But I want to tell you that this matter is not completely unslevant to us, because we and our own relatives are in Daliang City!

"Although these dark forces are still unable to stand on the table, they have indeed brought many disasters to my people. Now they are afraid of the army and dare not be too arrogant, but the desires of these people are endless. When they begin to be dissatisfied with the exploitation of ordinary poor families, their hands are likely to reach out to your family.

"Don't think that I'm alarmist. In fact, this change in the capital has sounded the alarm for us! They not only dare to snatch the good woman in broad daylight, but also dare to throw people out after killing them, which is obviously a provocation to the government! And they have been hiding in the dark because they have * and backers, so that we can't find them.

"In the long run, those hoodlums will become bolder and bolder, and at that time, the evil things they have done will not be more than that. What we need to do is to eradicate them as soon as possible so as to avoid more people being injured by these hoodlums, including ourselves. Therefore, our eradication of the Panther Gang this time is not only to avenge others, but also to ensure our own safety. Do you think this has anything to do with us?

A long paragraph of the words made the soldiers present have a great fluctuation. Many of them do think that it is none of their business, so they will be passive and right. Many of the soldiers in the patrol camp are the children of ordinary families. They have always been resistant to prominent families like the Miao family. Seeing their bad luck, they will only gloat. How can they get justice for them? Coupled with the lazy style, the soldiers in the patrol camp have long lost their vigor.

However, Xu Jinghong's real words made them really feel the threat to themselves. Now many people's expressions have changed, and many young people' faces are eager to try. Obviously, they want to compete with those hoodlums who are harmful to one side.

Xu Jinghong was happy when he saw this, but this was not enough. He continued to encourage him, "And as the guardian of the beam, our patrol camp has been despised for too long. Don't you hope to have a day out? Now the opportunity is in front of us. As long as we can take down the Panther Gang in one fell swoop, who else in the capital dares to underestimate us?

This is also the interest of the vice generals who don't care much about the rampant gangsters in Beijing and threaten their survival. Indeed, the days of the patrol camp are getting worse and worse day by day. It is really uncomfortable for them to live on only a little money. If they can make the patrol camp rise again, naturally, they will not refuse.

"Team Xu is right. We can't let people flatten our city patrol camp! Lord guard, let the brothers go out and work with those hoodlums!" Immediately, an impatient person shouted, and then more people joined such a petition, and the original deserted attitude on the school field changed 180 degrees.

The performance of everyone also made Meng Huchong very excited. For many years, the patrol camp has never had such an exciting moment. At this moment, Meng Huchong even had the impulse to revitalize the patrol camp again. He laughed and said, "Well said! Those Black Panther Gang and the Flying Tiger Gang are just clowns. As long as the brothers in our patrol camp really want to operate on them, they will never escape.

Then, he changed his words: "However, this matter is not the responsibility of our patrol camp, but Xu team. He is going to send some brothers from our patrol camp to help him do things. As long as you can really make contributions, the sign of our patrol camp can be lit up again in Daliang City!"

The enthusiasm of the soldiers below was completely stimulated. Seeing that their guards said so, they all scrambled to deal with the Black Panther Gang with Xu Jinghong. In this way, it is much easier to choose the right people from these people, at least they are no longer resistant to coming out of the comfortable life of the barracks.

After careful selection, Xu Jinghong and others selected 180 strong and honest soldiers from a team of more than 1,000 people. Seeing that Xu Jinghong did not pick those shrewd and capable sergeants, Meng Huchong was slightly puzzled and took time to ask, "Why, Brother Xu only chooses these honest people?"

" honest people are easy to use and easy to use. And when it's time to take it seriously, honest people can also let go of their hands and feet. Xu Jinghong explained with a smile. In his opinion, although those shrewd and capable people can save him a lot of worry, they may not be willing to do their best at the critical moment, and these people are also selfish, and they may break their big plan at any time, so they simply don't choose them. In fact, this is also the direction of the soldiers who have always been good at fighting, choosing only the simple, not the refined.

After taking these horses out of the patrol camp, Xu Jinghong did not go back to their residence with them, but asked Wang Liehai to take them there, and he went to Gyeonggi Province with several brothers. With this help, he has to get the support and recognition of the Gyeonggi Province, so that he will not have any trouble in the future.

In Jingji Mansion, Lu Bingqing politely welcomed Xu Jinghong to the second hall, and then said with a smile, "Whether my Daliang can have a peaceful and lively begging festival this time depends on your efforts of Team Xu."

"I'm just doing my best, and everything should be decided by Lu Fuyin." Xu Jinghong also politely praised the other party, and then expressed his intention: "This time, I hope the Gyeonggi government can also send some people to help us. After all, no one is more familiar with the environment inside and outside Daliang City.

This proposal is in the arms of Lu Bingqing, and he is also worried. If Xu Jinghong really becomes a matter, and there is nothing wrong with him, the position of the governor of Gyeonggi Province will really not be maintained. Now there is Xu Jinghong's request, so that if things don't work out, you have a way to get out, and if you succeed, you will have credit. Why not do it?

With such a thought, Lu Bingqing immediately made a finale: "Yes, as long as Team Xu needs us to do it, I will definitely urge them to do it!"

Xu Jinghong was waiting for this sentence, and immediately said, "I haven't thought of anything else yet. I just hope that the adults can transfer some of my subordinates to me quickly. I have to use their eyes and experience to act."

"These catchers are all led by Wang Guben. If you need it, just go to him."

"Then there will be Brother Wang." Xu Jinghong bowed his hand to Wang Guben, who was sitting beside him. The latter quickly said that he did not dare, but he also readily accepted the request.

After discussing with Lu Bingqing, Xu Jinghong and Wang Guben went to select manpower. In the face of Wang Guben, a heroic man, Xu Jinghong no longer circled: "Brother Wang, there is a sentence I must ask first. Why do you think the former Gyeonggi Province failed to copy the old nest of the Black Panther Gang?

"Because someone inside us informed them." Without saying secret words in front of the Ming people, Wang Gu could see that Xu Jinghong had thought of the fundamentals, so he said bluntly.

"That is to say, there are the ears and eyes of the Black Panther Gang inside Gyeonggi Province. Can you find out the identity of those people?"

"It's difficult. There are more than 200 people in Gyeonggi Province, any of whom may be related to the Black Panther Gang. After all, these gangs have always bought people in various government sectors with money. Who can't get along with money?

"In that case, how many of your brothers do you think are trustworthy?"

"Twenty people, I can absolutely trust these people. Many of them have been hurt by gangsters and will not stand with their enemies. Some of them are honest and will not sell themselves for hundreds of taels of silver.

"Okay, then I'll ask these people to help me do things, and ask Brother Wang to choose people."

When Xu Jinghong brought these people out of Gyeonggi Province, it was already sunset. However, he was still not in a hurry to go back, but his brother who followed him took him home, and he went to the silver number himself. After a long time, a big car was pushed out of the silver number with three large silver boxes on it.

When everyone saw Xu Jinghong coming back with such a few silver boxes, they showed curiosity. Only the old brothers of the former fifth team showed a clear look: "The team is about to make people's hearts again!"

Sure enough, after asking the accompanying silver men to unload the silver box and pull the car away, Xu Jinghong casually opened one of the boxes. Although it was already dark, everyone could still clearly see the neat pieces of silver ingots in the box, which made the soldiers patrol the city and the catchers of the Gyeonggi Province show greed.

When Xu Jinghong saw their appearance, he laughed: "Guys, I, Xu Jinghong, am a real person. Since you are invited to help me today, I won't let you suffer. Here is 5,000 taels of silver. There are 200 people in total, and each person can get 25 taels. It happens that this ingot is 25 taels. Let's come up and get an ingot. With that, he opened the other two boxes and made a gesture of invitation to everyone.

Those soldiers and catchers were stunned first, and then realized that all this was true, which ruined them. The soldiers in the patrol camp earn less than 20 taels a year, and the income of the Gyeonggi Province is even less. Now it is really a big fortune for them to get so much money at once.

Everyone took the silver in their hands, and when they looked at Xu Jinghong, there was already more respect and gratitude in their eyes. Originally, these people are mostly honest people who know how to repay kindness, which makes them willing to completely eradicate the Black Panther Gang for Xu Jinghong.

Xu Jinghong had already expected their performance. He knows how to control these people who haven't read much. Although I told them a heartfelt words before, which made them understand that the eradication of the Panther Gang was for themselves, the effect of these words could only encourage them for a while, and it was still a little insufficient for them to act completely.

Then it's time to use some extraordinary means to smash the money to make them grateful to themselves, which is the most effective and fastest way. Xu Jinghong used this move, which really made everyone full of gratitude for him, and some people began to shout that they would go through fire and water for Xu Jinghong.

Seeing this, Xu Jinghong just smiled indifferently: "Now that everyone has benefited, is it time to listen to me?"

"Team Xu, just tell us. We will do our best to do what you said." Immediately, many people answered loudly. Obviously, the power of this large amount of silver is still not small.

"Okay, I'll announce the first order to you now! From now on, you will stay in this yard and have to go anywhere except to obey orders, okay? Xu Jinghong's face smiled and said, "If anyone violates this article, I will regard him as a spy of the Black Panther Gang and throw him into prison!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this order, but they didn't expect to ban themselves from waiting. However, they have no resistance to this. As long as they can eat and drink, it's not a big deal to stay here. After all, compared with the people above, these soldiers who act at their orders have no pressure, and it has nothing to do with their errands whether they can eliminate the Panther Gang.

"Well, since everyone has no objection, let's take a rest in this yard. Starting tomorrow, I will have new instructions for everyone. You all need to refresh yourself so that everything can be done tomorrow!" Xu Jinghong finally gave another order, and then turned into the back house regardless of others.

For good, this rented house is big enough, and now it is summer. Everyone can sleep in the yard, otherwise the placement of so many people will really become a problem.

Even so, there were so many rude men in this house, but it was still a disaster. The sound of snoring in the sky overnight, and even Xu Jinghong was a little uncomfortable. This made him think that if the owner of this house knew that his house was so ruined, what kind of reaction would he have?
