At night, after Lu Yu and his family had a happy dinner, Lu Feng called Lu Yu to the study room.
Lu Yu's second uncle, Lu Fei, and third uncle, Lu Wen, were also with him.
Lu Feng's study had the feel of a modern office. Other than a desk and a bookshelf, there was also a set of tables and chairs.
After everyone sat down, Lu Feng asked,"Yu 'er, why didn't you come back for the past two months? Why didn't we hear anything about you going to suppress the bandits?"”
Lu Yu said," It's like this, Father. When I first took office, the soldiers already owed the money. So, I went to Wang Dabao to ask for money. Not only did he pay the money he owed, but he also took out a large amount of money for me to buy a gun. He wanted me to eliminate the bandits in Qingkou Stronghold in two months. He also told me not to tell anyone before exterminating the bandits, so in order to exterminate the bandits, I've been training with the soldiers in the military camp for the past two months.”
At this moment, Second Uncle Lu Fei said,"No wonder…"
"No wonder what second brother?" Lu Fei asked in confusion.”
Lu Fei explained," Two months ago, people from the provincial capital came. However, the county blocked the news at that time. It's probably because of this that the people from the provincial capital came."”
Lu Feng said,"Since there are people in the provincial capital who are paying attention to this matter, then Yu 'er's credit this time will not be taken by Wang Dabao."”
At this moment, Lu Yu said,"When I agreed to suppress the bandits, I raised my conditions to Wang Dabao."”
"Oh, he also mentioned a condition. What is it?”Lu Feng asked curiously.
" I said I wanted a regiment commander of a regular soldier," Lu Yu explained. Wang Dabao agreed at that time, but he had to let me clear the bandits first so that he could report it. He told me at the city gate this afternoon that he had already reported it.”
"The world is so chaotic now. It's good to be in charge of weapons."”
Lu Fei said," I'm afraid you can't make Yu 'er the regiment commander of the regular soldiers just by relying on your contributions. Wang Dabao didn't receive any benefits this time, so I'm afraid he won't use his strength." After being lied to by Wang Dabao last time, the Zhou family would probably come to investigate personally this time. At that time, Yu 'er would tell the Zhou family. Their Zhou family's goods had been stolen, and Yu 'er had helped them snatch them back. They should be able to help.”
" The Zhou Family might not help us anymore," Lu Yu said." After I took over the Qingkou Stronghold, I didn't find the Zhou Family's goods at all."”
"What's going on?" Lu Fei was surprised.
Lu Yu smiled bitterly." When I occupied the Qingkou Stronghold, I found out that all the goods of the Zhou family had been bought by bandits. Now that I'm an officer, I don't want to return the guns and ammunition to the Zhou family."”
Lu Fei nodded. He didn't know much about military affairs, but he knew that his son had grown up.
"Mm, you should know your limits."”
"Alright, I will," Lu Yu said.
The Zhou family of the provincial capital.
"Father, the bandits who used our goods have been eliminated.”
A young man in his thirties walked through the courtyard and said to an old man in his sixties who was lying on a chair.
The old man, who was originally a little confused, suddenly became energetic after hearing this. "What happened? Tell me in detail."”
Although this old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties, he was in high spirits and looked wealthy and peaceful. One look and one could tell that he was a person who lived like a prince.
He was the founder of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Dahai.
When he was young, he had followed Mr. **'s revolution and had also been a high-ranking official. After Mr. **'s death, he had retired from the officialdom and competed in the business world. Now, he had also become a famous businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
This young man was his son. When he was young, he ran around and suffered from war. He only got married and had children after the revolution succeeded.
Now that Zhou Dahai had retired from the scene, the Zhou family was run by his son, Zhou Wei.
Hearing the old man's question, Zhou Wei said,""Father, I just received news that the bandits who robbed us have been exterminated by the security team of Chongtian County. The county head of Chongtian County is now asking for credit from the security team.”
"What did the report say?" Zhou Dahai asked.”
Zhou Wei said," The leader of the security regiment, Lu Yu, went to Gushan on October 25th, 1928 to exterminate the bandits of Qingkou Stronghold. He successfully exterminated the bandits on October 27th, 1928, which was yesterday. He killed nearly 300 people and captured nearly 200. Hu Yi and Cai Mao were killed on the spot, and Hu Tian was captured. At present, the head of Chongtian County was applying for Lu Yu to become a proper regiment commander.”
"Oh, I see."
Zhou Dahai was intrigued. He had only been in office for a few months, yet he had already exterminated the bandits in less than two days. This reason was quite capable.
"Do you know how many casualties they suffered this time?”
"The telegram didn't say anything." Zhou Wei shook his head.”
At this point, the people around could not help but say,"Father, could it be that Wang Dabao is lying to us again? Why don't we go to Chongtian County and check it out?"
"Wang Dabao won't lie to us this time, but we have to go to Chongtian County," Zhou Dahai said.”
"If we're not going to check, then what are we going to do?" Zhou Wei asked curiously.”
" It should be true that the bandits were exterminated," Zhou Dahai said with a smile." Now, I'm interested in Lu Yu."”
Zhou Wei was puzzled. There should be something that the security guard leader was concerned about.
Zhou Dahai continued," This Wang Dabao from Chongtian County said in his last telegram that the leader of the security regiment had died in battle. It should be true. In that case, Lu Yu should have taken over the security regiment two months ago. To be able to train the security team in just two months and successfully exterminate the bandits who had the same number of people as them without suffering many casualties, wasn't such a person a talent?”
Zhou Wei thought about it. After taking over a mess in two months, he had now eliminated almost as many bandits as he did. He was indeed a talent.
However, why was it that the number of casualties in the security regiment was low?
Thinking of this, Zhou Wei could not help but ask,"Dad, how do you know that the casualties of the security guards are relatively low?”
" If the casualties were high," Zhou Dahai sneered," Wang Dabao's telegram should be asking for compensation instead of asking for merit."”
Zhou Wei immediately understood." It seems like Lu Yu and Wang Dabao have a good relationship. In order to get credit for him, he didn't even report any casualties. He's going to lose some blood this time."”
"Hehe, I should say that Lu Yu is very smart.”
Zhou Zhou was confused again. He could not understand why his father would say such things about Lu Yu.
Zhou Dahai continued," Back then, when Lu Yu took office, we sent people to Chongtian County to pressure Wang Dabao again. I'm afraid that Lu Yu used the condition of eliminating bandits to exchange for a commander of the regular army. Now that Wang Dabao was bleeding, he should have fulfilled Lu Yu's condition.”
"Oh, right."
" Go to Chongtian County tomorrow," Zhou Dahai said to Zhou Wei." First, you have to understand how Lu Yu exterminated the bandits." Secondly, he would give Lu Yu the goods that were robbed by the bandits.”
Zhou Wei was shocked." Father," he said hurriedly," the goods that the bandits robbed this time are worth more than 100,000 dollars. Are we just going to give them to Lu Yu for nothing?"”
" He stole the goods from the bandits," Zhou Dahai closed his eyes and said." He didn't steal them from us."”
Zhou Dahai opened his eyes and saw that Zhou Wei was still unwilling. He said,"If we have our own soldiers or officers who are close to us again, will we still be deceived? I'm already old now. I've retired for a long time. Most of my old friends from back then have died. My old bones are not very useful anymore. We must train our own soldiers or officers who are close to us. I think this is a good reason. Tomorrow, when you go to Chongtian County, you have to make good friends with him. I'll go and visit him. When the time comes, you can bring his appointment letter for the regular army with you.”
"Yes, Father, I will." Zhou Wei nodded silently.”
Zhou Dahai nodded in relief. He then waved his hand, indicating that Zhou Wei could leave.
