"Report" I was studying the resumes of the personnel of Zhongxing Mine with Brother Miao Si, who came from Jinan, and when I looked up, it turned out to be Du Zicheng standing at the door.

"Hey, it turned out to be General Du's triumphant return." I put down the fountain pen in my hand and beckoned Du Zicheng to sit down, "How is it, are the brothers all right?" Don't price, don't stand, Fourth Brother Miao, you know, there are no outsiders, just sit, drink tea and talk slowly. ”

"Captain, this time our two detachments successfully exterminated the two mountain bandits in Wanghailou and Yedian, and there are no large bandits in Mengyin, Feixian, and Yishui counties." Du Zicheng meticulously reported that since the last attack on Daguanyuan, his knot has always existed, and he has become much more stereotyped, it seems that he has to slowly find a way to channel, fortunately, it does not affect him to lead the team, and the combat effectiveness of the left detachment is indeed much stronger. "We have captured more than 500 bandits and more than 3,000 bandits, but most of them are a bandit leader named Shi Hong who took the initiative to surrender, and at present, the bandits are all on the way to Yanzhou with the rear detachment, and the bandits did not let the local government intervene, and they were temporarily guarded by the two squads of the rear detachment."

"Well, how are the soldiers, are there any casualties?" I am more concerned about the casualties, after all, these fighters have been trained for more than half a year, and veterans are where the combat effectiveness of a team lies.

"1 person was killed and 3 people were slightly injured, none of them were critically injured, and they were all returned in a month. The one who died was a recruit from the sixth squad of the rear detachment, and when he was guarding the prisoners, he was stabbed in the liver by a bandit leader who wanted to escape, and he couldn't do it at that time. The bandit leader's name was Liu Laoqi, and he didn't run away, so the soldiers on duty in the rear detachment caught him and lit the sky lantern according to the rules of the bandits. At that time, the soldiers of the rear detachment were a little excited, and picked out several brothers of the Liu family among the prisoners with bayonets. ”

"Mess up. Well, it seems that the three major * disciplines and eight points of attention need to be strengthened. How did Xiao Mingfeng deal with it? I stopped my pen and talked face-to-face with Du Zicheng.

"I didn't deal with it, the scene was a bit chaotic at the time, and now I can't tell which soldiers succeeded." Du Zicheng was also very helpless, after all, he was just leading the team, Xiao Mingfeng called him a master, but the rear detachment was not under his command, and he was not good at overstepping.

"There was an office meeting in the evening, Xiao Mingfeng, as the head of the rear detachment, was demoted and retained, and the squad leader on duty at that time was dismissed, and the soldiers were punished to take turns cleaning the camp for a month." I also take into account that the current insurance regiment has become large-scale, but the gap between it and the regular army is still obvious, and in addition to the command quality and tactical quality, the biggest gap is in the normative aspects such as rules and regulations. "Lao Du, you are a person who understands, you should understand that the insurance regiment cannot always be a militia army, and sooner or later he will become a regular army. I don't want to become an army of officials and bandits like the Hunan Army, the Huai Army, and the Wu Yi Army, which rely on arsonists to loot, burn, kill, and commit adultery to unite people's hearts. You and Shou Qing are both talents with professional military education, communicate with Lao Wei, Xiao Xiao, and Lao Ba, righteousness is a good thing, but you can't rely on righteousness to lead the troops, at least our insurance regiment can't become a Wagangzhai. ”

"Okay, I'll talk to Xiao Xiao first, I won't let him collapse" Du Zicheng understood what I meant, and took the initiative to do Xiao Mingfeng's ideological work. I also realized that the original green battalion mentality of eating food and serving as a soldier and the gang style of the righteous gangs of my buddies could not help me build a modern iron army, and although the political and ideological work of the Red Army was fruitful, the current contingent was supported by a group of landlords and capitalists. It seems that there is a different way, first of all, let's start with discipline, anyway, we can't let the insurance group fall into the warlord model of the early Republic of China in which big warlords coax small warlords, and small warlords coax soldiers.

The evening office meeting was very successful, first of all, the two detachments were commended for their anti-bandit operations, and the officers and men were given two months' salaries as a reward, and in addition, according to the amount of capture, according to the number of seizures, according to the detachment, 20 percent of the seizure commission was allocated. Next, Xiao Mingfeng took the initiative to stand up and admit that he had made a mistake in command, and asked the recruits to guard the bandit leader without searching him, causing the bandit leader to almost escape and take a human life. Because the victim was a partner he brought from Ping'an Town, he was not calm and killed many soldiers and generals. At the meeting, the rear detachment that violated the three major * disciplines and eight points of attention was criticized, and my punishment opinions were unanimously approved, and even Xiao Mingfeng consciously and voluntarily accepted the punishment without scolding, and in private I learned that he thought he had to be beaten with a military stick that day, and even the medicine and wine were ready, and the small demotion and retention were like a breeze, which was basically an unexpected joy. Of course, when the captured bandits saw that the soldiers who had killed Liu Laoyi's family and cleaned the barracks that day, they also heard that a few officials had been removed because of the killing of prisoners, and they also admired the insurance regiment's strict law and distinguishing between right and wrong. Now that there is a precedent, the officers and men have an intuitive understanding of the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention, and they have a bottom line for how well they will behave in the future. Immediately after that, I struck while the iron was hot and promulgated the "Regulations on Internal Affairs of the Insurance Corps" and the "Tactical Training Program of the Insurance Corps," together with the "Regulations on the Military Regulations of the Insurance Corps," which were expanded on the basis of the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and finally established the framework of the rules and regulations of a modern army.

The time has entered July, after the training of the recruits, I directly appointed Yang Shihai, the training instructor of the recruit detachment who came from the Jiangsu New Army at the beginning of the year, as the detachment leader, and reorganized the original four detachments before and after the left and right plus the recruit team into one to five detachments, Xiao Mingfeng, the leader of the first detachment, Wei Keren, the leader of the second detachment, Du Zicheng, the leader of the third detachment, Wu Luzhen, the leader of the fourth detachment, Yang Shihai, the leader of the fifth detachment, plus the machine gun detachment in charge of He Laoba, the first-line strength reached 600 hanging zero, and there were quasi-special forces trained by Du Niang himself. The training team, in addition to the original Seven Musketeers, has successively added 23 top soldiers selected from various detachments. The Zhongxing mining area and Caozhou, Yanzhou, and Yizhou all lacked effective pacification forces, so the members of the Jinan Chamber of Commerce who were born in the local squire simply proposed to imitate the insurance group of the Jinan Chamber of Commerce and also set up a local insurance group, which was nominally a township regiment for the landlords to protect themselves, but in fact replaced the function of the patrol battalion and became the core local government armed force. I mobilized the power of the chamber of commerce, cast a net in all directions, and collected more than a dozen people who knew how to train from the remnants of the Beiyang Naval Division, the alternate non-commissioned officers and students who had no way out after graduating from the Tianjin Military Academy, and the down-and-out officers who were training in various places, all of whom were hired as regimental training instructors with high salaries, and the insurance regiment of the Jinan Chamber of Commerce also sent 16 veterans to serve as deputies, and recruited 1,500 new soldiers from the three prefectures and mining areas to divide them into seven or eight insurance regiments, which can be regarded as the peripheral armed forces of the Chamber of Commerce. Most of the captured bandits in Wanghailou became free laborers for the construction team, but they worked hard in a different place, and it was much better to eat than to be bandits, so they didn't cause any turmoil. Shi Hong, Wang Liang and one hundred and ten bandits who were strong and did not have many bad deeds were added to the various detachments, Shi Hong was also appointed by me as the recruit captain of the recruit training team, he was the leader, and it was natural to deal with more than 200 recruits who had just put down their hoes, but due to the three major * disciplines and eight attentions, it took a long time to turn the corner. The recruit team temporarily trains with the fifth detachment, and usually lets Yang Shihai and a few old regiments train them in queue and discipline, and at other times follows the fifth detachment to rest, Yang Shihai can also be regarded as the chief instructor of the recruit team.

Now the Boxer has made the Beijing-Tianjin region a world of master buddies, Tian Da fool has asked me to send an envoy to Miyun County in Beijing two months ago to open an altar to accept apprentices, and then there are the four and six of the Seven Musketeers who are planning behind the scenes, maybe it is a little difficult to turn things around, but it is not difficult to fish in troubled waters. I know very well that in another month and a half it will be time for the Eight-Nation Alliance to enter Beijing, and it is time for Cixi Lafayette to leave for Xi'an to eat cured mutton. Counting the time on the road, there is still a month of preparation time, and the recruit team asked Shi Hong to take him to Baiyangdian for long-distance training. The next thing is how to persuade the princes of the Chamber of Commerce to transfer people into Beijing and coordinate their positions with Yuan Datou, but before I could figure out how to take measures, I was blocked by Lao Wei's daughter-in-law.

Anyway, this Wei Keren is a native of Feicheng County, Tai'an Prefecture, I know that he will be real in a month, so let the captains of several detachments take turns to rest, and let Lao Wei and He Laoba go back to deal with it, but I didn't expect He Laoba from afar to come back, Lao Wei went for ten days and didn't see anyone, I thought he had something to arrange, anyway, the holiday hasn't arrived yet, and I don't care. Lao Wei's daughter-in-law and Lao Wei are from Linxian County, and today her family came, and hurriedly told her that Lao Wei was somehow tied up by the local big Ge family after returning home, and now he is pressed in Zhuangzi, saying that he is suspected of being a bandit, and intends to be taken to the county for interrogation, and said that there are two brothers from Lao Wei's own family who were arrested together.

"Fake." As soon as I heard it, I became angry, Lao Tzu is going to save the Lafayette of the Qing Dynasty, and to say that it is the power to turn the tide and save the society, but I didn't expect that a small turtle that did not enter the stream bit one of my generals and did not let go. "Boss, I'll take someone to save Brother Wei, and I'll destroy that guy as soon as possible." Xiao Heizi's voice suddenly sounded, and as soon as I turned around, I found that several detachment leaders had actually come to the team headquarters in unison. One or two of them rubbed their hands and shook their cheeks and teeth, and they saw a group of fat sheep and lions.

"Let's let the left detachment, ah no, it's the three detachments to carry out the mission, I promise" Du Zicheng was pulled aside by He Laoba before he could drag the text.

"Boss, Lao Wei is my brother who knocks his head on the ground. There's nothing to say, I can't see my brother being bullied by the bastard, boss, you just say, is it to destroy the turtle grandson or level his ancestral grave. ”

"I think it's better to ask about the situation and see if there is someone behind this who is making a bad deal for our insurance group?" After all, Wu Luzhen is a person who has seen officialdom, so she should be more thoughtful.

"What Shou Qing said is reasonable, but now is the time to wait, it is important to save people, so I have to cut through the mess quickly. You and Du, Miss Du took the people of the training team to leave overnight, go early and return early. ”

"Okay. Boss, you're all right. You can prepare some good food and wine for us tomorrow night, and let Lao Wei be shocked and washed. He Lao Ba was so happy that he was about to run when he turned his head, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, boss, it's not easy to master the heat when you move, you can give me a charter." ”

"Well, there was a mistake in killing, and I didn't let it go."
