Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

Looking at these simple people and listening to these words from the heart, whether it was Qin Cang or the soldiers present, everyone felt their eyes getting hot.

What is this? This is the will of the people!

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it!

From ancient times to the present, whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world, and this is not without reason!

"Fellow villagers!"

Looking at the people, Qin Cang thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"I understand everyone's intentions, but I really can't accept the things."

"But since everyone has said so, I'll shamelessly ask you for a favor."

"Our reinforced regiment is now in a critical stage of recruiting soldiers. I ask everyone to help spread the news when you return home and introduce as many young and strong soldiers as possible to our regiment!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt a little regretful. Why didn't he think of this just now?

No matter how hard the regiment tries, it can never compare to the words of these aunties.

Otherwise, the entrance of every village, especially those aunties who have nothing to do and chat about family matters, would be called the "Intelligence Department"?

After saying this, Qin Cang thought about it again, then waved to Zhao Gang.

"Political Commissar Zhao, how is our regiment's recruitment going these days?"

Zhao just ran to Qin Cang's side, and when he heard this question, his brows couldn't help but frown.

"Qin Cang, I've been dispersing all the relevant fighters these past few days, going through several villages, but I've only managed to recruit less than a hundred."

After these words were spoken, Qin Cang probably had a plan in mind. He then looked at the people and spoke in a resounding voice.

"Everyone has heard about it. Because our Xuyang Village is really remote, there aren't enough young people signing up."

"Think about it, if we don't have enough troops, how can we fight the Japanese?"

"So please take more care."

"I'm not going to hide it anymore. I'm going to tell you straight out. Anyone who signs up to join the reinforcement group will receive 20 kilograms of food and 10 kilograms of pork per family!"

The moment these words were spoken, all the people were stunned for a moment, and then a smile of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Captain Qin, can you take what you said seriously?"

"Can I really get food and pork? Is there such a good thing?"

"Old Chen, don't you have a son at home? Let him try!"

Just as the people were discussing, Zhao Gang gently pulled Qin Cang aside and couldn't help but say.

"Qin Cang, are you crazy?"

"Even if Chu Yunfei came, I'm afraid he might not be able to be so generous!"

What Qin Cang said was basically the same as the rewards offered by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army for recruiting soldiers.

But there is one thing that must be mentioned.

That is, the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army are different. One soldier's clothes are patched, while the other is rich.

Hearing this, Qin Cang gave Zhao Gang a reassuring look: "Old Zhao, this is something I've thought about carefully."

"The boss wants us to form a reinforced regiment within two months that's no less powerful than Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment. If we don't use this method, I'm afraid we won't even have enough people by then!"

The current reinforced regiment has only about 500 people at most.

If you want to surpass the 358th Regiment, you need at least four to five thousand people, which is a tenfold difference!

What's more, Qin Cang's goal is not just this. Instead, he wants to build a super reinforced regiment with tens of thousands of soldiers. Only in this way can he be able to fight when the Japanese invaders launch a large-scale sweep!

After hearing Qin Cang's words, Zhao Gang was suddenly speechless.

Yes, if the current recruitment situation continues, it would be a miracle to gather 2,000 people, let alone 5,000.

Seeing that Zhao Gang remained silent, Qin Cang continued, "Everyone, please go on a blind date. I just discussed this with Political Commissar Zhao."

"We have decided to keep the previous conditions unchanged and guarantee that every soldier who joins our reinforced regiment must be equipped with a Type 38 rifle and ammunition must be produced as much as possible!"

Zhao Gang had no objection to this.

After all, the reinforced regiment guards a mine and an arsenal. If the weapons and ammunition produced are not used, can they be kept to produce small arms?

"seriously!"

"No, I have to ask my distant nephew to come over quickly!"

"Captain Qin, how many people are you short? Can we sign up the day after tomorrow?"

"Well, I have something to do at home, so I have to go back first!"

Soon, the people dispersed and rushed back home to spread the good news.

After the regiment headquarters finally returned to its usual quiet state, Zhao Gang still said with some concern: "Qin Cang, is your idea reliable?"

Hearing this, Qin Cang smiled slightly and said softly: "My Political Commissar Zhao, just put your heart at ease!"

"Just wait, it won't be long before the gate of our reinforcement group is broken down!"

However, the reality was not as good as Qin Cang imagined.

Two days later, only a few dozen people came to register, not as many as he had imagined.

After hearing Zhao Gang's report, Qin Cang finally couldn't sit still anymore and immediately shouted outside: "Wei Dayong, pull a truck of food for me and follow me to Cao Zhuang's place."

It didn't take long before Qin Cang and Zhao Gang arrived at another village twenty or thirty miles away from Xuyang Village.

As soon as he saw Qin Cang, Cao Zhuang hurried over to greet him.

"Captain!"

Hearing this, Qin Cang nodded slightly, but after seeing the deserted recruitment booth, his face couldn't help but darken.

Few people care at all.

"Political Commissar Zhao, notify all recruiting brothers to write down all our conditions on red paper..."

At this point, Qin Cang paused for a moment, then changed his tone and said, "No, have the soldiers announce the recruitment rewards and go door to door in the village to announce them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Cang walked quickly into the village and took the lead in shouting.

You know what, his method is really effective.

Within ten minutes, the village entrance was filled with people.

"Hero, is what you just said true? Can you, the Eighth Route Army, really produce these things?"

"That's right. I heard that all your weapons are captured from the Japanese. Can you really come up with so many supplies? Are you kidding me?"

Listening to the people's chattering, Qin Cang didn't say anything, but just gave Wei Dayong a look.

"Squeak!"

As the door to the rear of the military truck was opened, a large amount of white flour, rice and pork appeared in everyone's sight.

Then, Qin Cang glanced at Zhao Gang and said softly, "Political Commissar Zhao, is it time for dinner?"

Zhao Gang understood immediately after hearing this and ordered several soldiers to serve the meal.

During the whole process, Qin Cang didn't say anything to the people and just kept eating.

On the other hand, the common people were all staring with wide eyes.

Not to mention the food in the military checkpoint, just the rice bowls in Qin Cang and others' hands made them drool.
