The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 614 The Ideal Xie Baoqing

Captain Kong suddenly became busy these days.

A chic hands-off shopkeeper won't do it.

With the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army's iron roll raid, the battlefield observation team and the special agent team were destroyed.

After the officers of the Jinsui Army exchanged and studied in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, they had seen the strength of the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness.

The Jinsui Army announced on the surface that it was ready to join forces with the Eighth Route Army to fight against Japan.

Throughout the Taihang base area, the situation of the Sino-Japanese war has quietly changed.

On the part of the Japanese army, it was temporarily unable to launch a large-scale sweep plan against the Eighth Route Army troops based in the Taihang base area.

The mainstream of the confrontation between the two sides has evolved into local small-scale operations.

Taihang, Taiyue and other base areas ushered in a short period of stable development.

The various economic constructions of the independent group are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more aspects that need to be worried about making decisions.

Political commissar Li Wenjie couldn't do it alone, and Kong Jie could only fight in person.

……

Yangquan area.

The little devil Miki Ichiro and Qian Dekai, the company commander of the Imperial Association Army, successfully completed the first tentative cooperation with the independent regiment.

Kong Jie obtained a batch of medicines through the secret transportation of the Japanese and puppet troops by Ichiro Miki.

With a big wave of his hand, in order to let the devils and puppet soldiers taste some sweetness, so that he can work hard for himself, this time he paid Miki Ichiro all day tickets, and the price was increased by [-]%.

In addition, Kong Jie is based on the principle that it is easier to handle affairs with middlemen, and it is more concealed and safe.

The message to Miki Ichiro and Qian Dekai clearly stated:
"For the follow-up cooperation in the Yangquan area, I only recognize you Qian Dekai and Miki Ichiro. I don't care how many Japanese and puppet army officers around you want to cooperate with our Eighth Route Army, I will only do it through you two."

After the news came, Miki Ichiro immediately took Qian Dekai, and ran to the restaurant to have a meal.

Nothing else, so touched.

"Mr. Sanmu, Captain Kong is too sincere. He has entrusted us with the ownership of the cooperative business in the Yangquan area. How much profit is there?"

"In the future, if the Taijun and the Imperial Association Army want to cooperate with the independent regiment, they will all have to go through our hands. We just sit and take a commission, and counting the money can make your hands cramp!"

While drinking in the restaurant, Qian Dekai analyzed excitedly.

Miki Ichiro drank two ounces of wine, feeling a little drunk, patted Qian Dekai on the shoulder, and said in full Japanese accent:
"Yaoxi, old money, what you said is too reasonable. We have to hold on tightly to the wealth-making route of cooperating with the independent group. This is the guarantee for our future prosperity."

Qian Dekai nodded emphatically, hesitated for a moment, and asked again:
"Mr. Sanmu, even though that's the case, what if the higher-ups send officers over to cut off our business line?"

"idiot!"

Miki Ichiro slapped the table with a slap, and said softly, "Whoever dares to cut off my money, they will all die and work!"

"Hey! They are all dead, Miki-kun, for your courage, I respect you again!"

After a drinking game, Miki Ichiro and Qian Dekai, who had tasted the sweetness of doing business with Kong Jie, became more and more daring.

Use Qian Dekai's advice to Miki Ichiro:
"Mr. Sanmu, there is an old saying in China, that is, the law does not blame the public."

"Let's talk about doing business with the Eighth Route Army. There are both crises and opportunities. Although we can reap a lot of benefits, once this matter is exposed, we will all lose our heads."

"So we have to find a way, we can't do this by ourselves!"

"The head of Kong also said that no matter how many people we recruit, we will only follow our line. We have to find a way to attract more heads so that we can get a cut of it!"

"At that time, there will be more officers doing smuggling business with the Eighth Route Army. Even if the superior finds out that so many people have been exposed and the law does not punish the public, we can't shoot all the security officers, right?"

"At the same risk of being shot, we can hold the big head and earn more. This kind of thing is not for nothing."

Miki Ichiro nodded again and again, "Yaoxi, you have to do this!"

"Ours, during this period of time, we should first find out the bottom line, and bring down those officers who intend to smuggle with the Eighth Route Army!"

"Hi! Taijun is wise!" Qian Dekai expressed his admiration.

Not long after, word reached the Independent Corps.

Wang An explained with a smile on his face: "Leader, according to your intention, our commando sent someone to go to Qian Dekai's house late at night."

"Threats and lures, the money has to be opened, and now I have no doubts about my identity as the Eighth Route Army's internal response."

"With this kid taking care of him, I'm not afraid that the little devil won't be fooled."

Kong Jie said with a smile: "To be honest, although the traitor is hateful, damn it, but sometimes, it's really useful!"

"Since the bastard has already taken the bait, let's prepare to step up our efforts! Spread the word to Qian Dekai that we want to buy grain, any kind of grain, as much as we want, and buy it at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price."

"Yes!" Wang An replied.

After talking about some details, after Wang An left from the regiment headquarters, the monk came to report: "Reporting to the regiment leader, Xie Baoqing is here and said he wanted to see you."

"Xie Baoqing?" Kong Jie was a little surprised.

Xie Baoqing, the bandit leader of Heiyunzhai, after he surrendered to the Independence Regiment, first led the bandits in Heiyunzhai to work in the mines of the Independence Regiment. Later, they performed well and formed a construction team.

When it comes to all aspects of the construction of the independent regiment's base area, Xie Baoqing and others have really contributed a lot.

Especially this Xie Baoqing, very interesting, seems to be particularly obsessed with all aspects of architecture.

After Kong Jie sent some books and manuals related to architecture, he heard that Xie Baoqing studied and studied day and night.

Many of the strong and delicate buildings of the Independence Regiment are all written by Xie Baoqing.

Speaking of which, Xie Baoqing, the leader of the bandits, can be regarded as a successful example of labor reform.

Later, Kong Jie also met Xie Baoqing and asked Xie Baoqing what his future plans were.

Xie Baoqing's words at the time were so ambitious:

"Master Kong, my lord... I have made up my mind that I will work hard for the construction of our country and create a team that is best at building bridges, roads, and houses!"

"Of course, Commander Kong has been kind to me for rebuilding. I am also Chinese. Although I can't be the Eighth Route Army to kill devils on the battlefield, if our Eighth Route Army needs me and my team in terms of construction."

"Xie must go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants."

Kong Jie was dumbfounded at the time.

You are a bandit leader, how great is this?
Thinking about these things in his mind, Kong Jie said, "Let him in, I'm curious, what can Xie Baoqing do with me?"

"Yes!"

The monk responded and went out to deliver a message.

Soon, Xie Baoqing entered the room rubbing his hands honestly, put his heels together in a dignified manner, and gave a military salute to Kong Jie:
"Reporting to the leader, Xie Baoqing, the leader of the construction team of the independent regiment's base area, reporting to you!"

Kong Jie glanced at Xie Baoqing, and asked with a half-smile: "It's Lao Xie, what's the matter? Come to me?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Xie Baoqing nodded quickly, and then replied with a serious face: "Head, this time I came to you, actually I want to ask you for something!"

"Oh, tell me!" Kong Jie said.

Xie Baoqing said: "Leader, it's like this, didn't you order the establishment of a migrant labor group a while ago?
I thought about it, this migrant labor group is also working for our army, I am familiar with this matter!

I want to bring my construction team to join the labor union, not for anything else. Although we can't fight, we must make a contribution to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War! "

"Oh? Is this your truth?" Kong Jie asked after sitting upright.

Xie Baoqing nodded emphatically, "It's definitely the truth, leader, I didn't know until I got to our independent group that being a bandit was a waste of work in the past."

"This person has to have a little dream to live! We can't live this life in a daze, what's the difference between that and dead fish and shrimp?"

Speaking of this, Xie Baoqing confided another truth:

"Besides, the migrant labor groups work for our Eighth Route Army, and they still get paid for it. Who do you work for? You work for our team that fights devils, and the brothers feel more at ease!"

Kong Jie thought for a while, and said that there was nothing wrong with arranging Xie Baoqing and his party into the labor group.

The migrant labor group is not a combat organization, but a transportation team to assist the troops, and its members are only ordinary people.

According to the original script, when Xie Baoqing and his bandits were recruited, they would even give them the number of the Anti-Japanese Independent Brigade, and even send a special political commissar!

Let Xie Baoqing and his party go to the migrant labor group to help. These reformed bandits have both skills and experience, and they may really be able to play a big role.

In addition, although the migrant labor group only cares about transportation, they also need some security forces in the team.

Guys like Xie Baoqing who have worked as bandits may not be able to fight devils, but it is perfect for them to be in charge of security work and guard against being robbed by bandits on other hills on the transportation road.

And Xie Baoqing's real careful thinking is actually because Kong Jie doesn't pay for construction in the regiment, basically using labor for nothing.

How well Captain Kong is fooling around, saying "Old Xie", "my own people", "all contributing to the revolutionary cause".

Just fooling around is not a long-term solution.

Kong Jie had promised that Xie Baoqing and his party would even be paid wages after the labor reform in the mine had reached the standard.

Thinking of this, Kong Jie no longer hesitated, nodded and said:
"Success, since you have come to see me in person, I agree to this matter."

"Your construction team will be incorporated into the migrant labor group. As for the specific tasks and positions, I will inform you later."

Seeing that Xie Baoqing opened his mouth twice but didn't speak again, Kong Jie added:
"Don't worry, since you have joined the labor union, your treatment is the same as that of ordinary people, and your wages will be paid as usual."

"Hey!" Xie Baoqing suddenly smiled, this is his biggest goal of this trip.

Kong Jie continued: "Besides, Xie Baoqing, you have been a bandit before. How can we prevent bandits from appearing in places along the transport route of our labor group?"

"I will also entrust this matter to you. You will draw some young men from the team to form a defense force. The regiment will also issue you some guns to be responsible for the safety of the transportation line."

As soon as Xie Baoqing heard that Kong Jie agreed, there was nothing else to say, and he immediately responded:

"Yes, please rest assured, the leader, I promise to complete the task, and I will definitely live up to the trust of the leader!"

Kong Jie said: "Go, Lao Xie, work hard, you have great hope for the future!"

"Yes, thank you, Commander!"

After Xie Baoqing thanked him, he left from the regiment headquarters and walked towards the entrance of the village to join his construction team.

The brother in charge hurried over to greet him, "Boss, how is your chat with Captain Kong going?"

"Idiot, how many times have I said it, call the captain! We are no longer bandits, and we will never be bandits again in the future. Commander Kong gave us a chance to reform. Don't learn from the mud that can't support the wall."

Xie Baoqing reprimanded.

That subordinate became honest, and quickly changed his words, "Captain!"

Xie Baoqing gave up and said: "Don't worry, this matter has been settled, and Captain Kong agreed."

"We will also have a team with an official number in the future, and it is a member of the migrant workers' group! Moreover, Captain Kong has also entrusted us with the security work of the migrant workers' group."

"The most important thing is, brothers, we will make money in the future!"

The whole team was excited.

"That's great, the boss...Captain, this is great!"

"During this period of time, we have been doing construction everywhere in the base area, basically working for nothing, and this day is finally over."

Xie Baoqing scolded: "As long as you are greedy, what do you mean working for nothing?
First of all, we stopped being bandits, and we even had ties to the Eighth Route Army. This reputation has been washed away.

In addition, Captain Kong is very kind to us. He takes care of three meals a day, and we are well fed and warm. There are wars and dead people everywhere these years, and there are many famines in many places. Where can you find such a good day? go?

That's right, during this period of time we have been working for Director Kong Bai, but we have learned a lot about technology.

Look at this base area, the houses and buildings are not all built by us?This is a valuable experience for making money in the future! "

As expected of being the captain, when Xie Baoqing said this, all his subordinates responded with conviction.

Xie Baoqing said: "So remember it for me, everyone, this time we have to work hard, and we must do well the tasks assigned by Captain Kong!"

"If something bad happens to that, I can't spare him."

"Yes--"
