Major General Zhang Binglin came uninvited and asked at the dinner table to help Hu Fei lead the army. Of course, Hu Fei was very happy about this request. His troops were all pulled from the other people's Wanghai Mountain. If Zhang Binglin had the intention of annexing his troops, he could say it openly in front of him, could Hu Fei still object?

Even if he doesn't mention the young leader's identity, he is the commander of the division and brigade commander, Zhang Binglin only has one sentence to join his 9th brigade into his division, then no one will have any objections! In the current volunteer army, there are many brigade commanders who want to follow Zhang Binglin, and they don't know how many regiment commanders are, and the major general looks down on them! If they are not capable of fighting and are really capable, they will not be able to get into the eyes of others!

"I am certainly begging for a major general to help me! Come on, major general, let's have a drink!"

"Don't call the Major General! You're not uncomfortable, I can hear it! Don't look at the surname Zhang, we are a thousand miles away from the young master. There are many generals, just call me Binglin better than anything else! Come on, cheers!"

Several people kept drinking and drinking, and the joy of having fun broke out.

The next day, Zhang Binglin came to Hu Fei's Ninth Brigade. Hu Fei led the major general to introduce his main officers to both sides.

Of course, it is mainly to let Zhang Binglin know these people. As for the head of the family, who doesn’t know them? Usually you know others, but they don’t know you! Now I finally have the opportunity to talk face to face. These low-level officers all looked like they saw big stars, and their eyes were shining with excitement.

After Zhang Binglin met with the officers, Hu Fei set out with Sun Laoliu and Feng Quan. Of course, it was not only the three of them, but also a small follower, Wang Wenhua, the orderly soldier whom Hu Fei was taken. Hu Fei had his idea with this woman: only those who have men and women can not attract attention. If only three big men enter the city, they will easily be suspected by the enemies in the city.

This time I have experience going to Niuzhuang again. Hu Fei and his friends went directly from the back of the town without leaving the city gate in front. Although the battle had not been held for a long time, Niuzhuang had washed away the smoke of war and re-displayed a scene of peace.

The puppet troops and the Japanese patrol teams passed by in a short time. There were many shops on both sides of Taiping Bridge, and various signs and signs were hung all over the streets. There were a bun shop with one cover, two covers of small restaurants, four covers of large restaurants; oil pressing workshops, clothing stores, jewelry stores, foreign car dealers, and various shops with various names.

There were often many young people riding bicycles that were rare in other cities at that time. If you just stood here and looked, you wouldn't believe that this was just a small town.

Last time, Gou Tianxiao came back from Niuzhuang to reconnaissance, once said that Liu Haichun's pie was delicious. The first thing Hu Fei did when he came here today was to try this famous Niuzhuang pie.

I walked along Taiping Bridge for a long time before I saw the word "pie" on the door of a shop. This is Liu Haichun's pie shop. It is a bit different from what Gou Tianxiao described. There was no crowd in line to buy pies at the door of the pie shop, and the door of the shop was also closed. I ran over from afar to try his pie, but it even stopped the business. Isn't this a coincidence?

When the guy from Li Jiyoufang next to him saw a few people wandering back and forth at the door of the pie shop, he knew that these people were here to buy pie. The enthusiastic guy from the oil shop came out to tell Hu Fei and the others: Something happened to the owner of the pie shop. I heard that it was an affair with the Hu bandits and the Japanese arrested them!

Oh! I didn't expect that even the pie seller would be implicated in defeating the battle! If the Japanese win the battle, they would be beaten away, so how could the owner of the pie shop be arrested? While Hu Fei felt guilty, his idea of ​​conquering Niuzhuang as soon as possible would be even stronger!

Hu Fei and his friends, who wanted to eat pies and didn't eat them, started shopping between shops on both sides of Taipingqiao. They tried hats at the cloak shop, bought bags of melon seeds at the roasted goods shop, and then went to the rickshaw shop to see Japanese Fuji bicycles.

It’s not that Hu Fei suddenly became interested in shopping, and shopping was also a way to obtain information. Now even if he ran to the Japanese commander’s office, he couldn’t find out who the new puppet army leader was in the town. Can he ask the guards at the commander’s office? Even if he asked, can the Japanese tell him?

The news in the market is often the most informative. If you go shopping, you may get all the information you want to know. Hu Fei looked at various products in the store, but his ears were paying attention to the various information people around him.

Women are obviously more interested in shopping. Although Wang Wenhua doesn't talk much after Hu Fei, his shiny eyes kept sweeping around the shops on both sides. The expression on his face that he wanted to go in and take a look could be seen as long as he was not a blind man!

Among the many shops, there are two black doors, which look a bit like a wealthy family. There are several people wearing black silk shirts and bloomers who are a bit like gangsters. Just looking at these people, you can tell that the characters in the door are not easy to mess with.

Hu Fei didn't plan to cause trouble here. He was here to collect information, not to teach hooligans a lesson. Seeing the situation at the door here, he led a few people from afar and stopped and turned around. Not only them, there were many people who came here and turned around.

Not causing trouble does not mean that you don’t ask about the matter. Hu Fei came to inquire about the matter. Seeing a halal snack bar with a blue guise not far from the road, Hu Fei and his friends walked over and ordered a few meatball soup and a few mutton skewers. While the guy was bringing the soup over, Hu Fei asked in a chatty tone what the door next door was doing.

When the young man heard this, he shook his head and whispered to advise Hu Fei to find out less so as not to cause trouble! Of course, after Hu Fei took out a few copper coins as a tip, the young man hesitated to tell him: The iron gate next door is the Niuzhuang Branch of the Haicheng County Monopoly Bureau. It is in charge of the ration of daily necessities such as salt, tinder oil, matches, white wine, alcohol, white flour, wheat, etc.

In other words, if merchants in the market want to operate these goods, they must purchase goods from this monopoly bureau, and confiscate all the goods purchased from other channels. If they reach a certain amount, they must be arrested.

Human! What is monopoly? This is called monopoly!

The meal was very long. Hu Fei was a little absent-minded when he was eating. Sun Laoliu and Feng Quan looked at Hu Fei. When Hu Fei finished eating, they would eat their last bite. If Hu Fei didn't stand up, there would always be a few pieces of food in the bowl of the two of them.
Chapter completed!
