After discussing with Cai Yuanpei, he summoned the local old hunters and old farmers to inquire about the mountain trend in various regions, chose a flat place, cut down the woods, dug out the roots of the trees as timber grass, and sold the trees to the lower reaches of the Songhua River in the form of rows.

The governor's yamen also stopped giving out food for free, and the old and weak women and children could receive a small amount of barely enough food rations outside the city gates, and then under the command of the police, they cleaned the streets of the city to help bury the dead in the bitter cold, and the children were brought to school, and the former gentlemen were also invited back to reopen classes under the leadership of the new education bureau.

The young and strong people were divided into several waves, some were sent to repair the dilapidated houses in the city, some were cut down trees, some were burned to level the land, some were sent to the rivers to release the rows, and some were sent to the local fishermen to dig ice caves in some frozen waters to fish, and Zhenhua's engineers used the only conditions they have now to work hard to rectify and upgrade the factory that has been closed for a long time.

With unified management, the market in Harbin immediately became orderly, the streets were cleaned, and the officials of the governor's yamen also replanned the functional layout of the city in the city under the leadership of Cai Yuanpei, which also allowed the residents of Harbin to see a rare wonder in a thousand years - the governor of a province actually worked like the common people!

Zhenhua Group has made its own reputation in the Northeast because of its own safety and dedication to help fight the epidemic, and now it is taking the lead in work, and the people naturally have no resistance, and they also know that these trusted officials are different, they are indeed here to help everyone, so the lifeless Harbin City seems to have come to life overnight, and there are more laughter and laughter on the street.

There is no shortage of bandits in the mountains and forests in the northeast, seeing that the new yamen is indeed doing things for the common people, some of them directly brought the food, supplies, horses, guns, etc. they robbed themselves, and went directly down the mountain to be recruited, and the bandits who went down the mountain were screened out, and those with good physical fitness were directly arranged to go to Sun Hongye's new army, and some went to the police station, and then they were scattered and distributed to various task forces.

And the big and small leaders naturally did not go directly to lead the troops, but under the discussion of Chen Xuan, Cai Yuanpei, and Sun Hongye, a military academy was opened, and the bandit leaders were familiar with the new army and met the requirements of Zhenhua's officers.

Today's new army camp under the leadership of Sun Hongye and other members of the escort team has thoroughly cleaned the barracks, and the soldiers all require disinfection and bathing, and the camouflage uniforms brought by Zhenhua are naturally not enough, but the soldiers are still required to wash their military uniforms cleanly.

After two days of tidying up, the entire battalion has become completely new, and some old fritters who could not stand the strict discipline and hard training of the escort team were driven out of the barracks and assigned to various work teams, while the other soldiers officially began the escort-style large-scale training.

"Sir, something happened, the caravan we sent out to buy food was robbed on the way back, and only a few people ran back."

On this day, Chen Xuan was approving some documents, Zhang Guangyuan ran over panting to report, Chen Xuan's mind was confused, and now there is not much food in the whole Harbin, and it can't last for five days, and the ocean that was finally raised allocated 50,000 people to large families in various places to buy grain, originally thought that it could be in place in two days, and it could also support a period of time.

"Invite Mr. Yuanpei, as well as Sun Hongye and them, and also find the brothers who used to be bandits and are now down the mountain, and have a meeting immediately!"

Chen Xuan strode towards the lobby of Cai Yuanpei's yamen, after Zhang Guangyuan sent out the heralds, he brought the people who ran back to report the news, and in less than half an hour, Cai Yuanpei and the others hurriedly ran back, and a group of people sat in the lobby and listened to the people who ran back to report what happened.

"We went to the Zhuangzi of the Manchurian Admiral General Dekeqin in Shunshui Township to buy grain, and everything went smoothly at first, although the housekeeper of the Dekeqin family also made it difficult for us, but in the end he sold the grain to us, and purchased a total of 2.8 million catties of grain, and our people couldn't transport it all at once, so the captain decided to transport some of it back first."

"After packing and packing in the middle of the night, 600,000 catties of grain were loaded onto the sleigh of our caravan at dawn, and we set off after breakfast, but we didn't expect that when we walked for most of the day and passed through Mojiaao, we were ambushed, the bandits had about 3 earthen cannons, all kinds of guns, spears and broadswords, and a few machine guns when listening to the sound, and we only had more than 30 guards with guns, and the others were all unarmed people."

"After two rounds of artillery, the bandits launched a charge, the mountains were full of bandits, our captain was also killed in the process of returning fire, and the team carrying grain was also scattered at once, more than a dozen of us fought and retreated, after all, we were outnumbered, we saw that the momentum was not right, and it was useless to stay, so we had to run back to report the news, instructor, captain, we should die, we are sorry for everyone!"

The wounded team member said that he was about to kill himself by pulling out his pistol, but Sun Hongye was quick and snatched his gun.

"Confused! The food was robbed, we snatched it back, can you commit suicide, are you guilty of your own military judge has the final say, what is the matter with killing yourself? ”

Sun Hongye scolded angrily, and the team member who reported the news lowered his head and cried.

"Fuck, it's Wang Mazi's gang, I already knew that the dog day was not a thing, and even Zhenhua's things were robbed, do these dogs have a conscience, if it weren't for Boss Chen to bring someone to help us, these people would have died a long time ago!"

A group of big and small leaders who had just come down from the mountain were scolded and scolded angrily, and the lobby seemed to have exploded.

Chen Xuan raised his hand, and his voice gradually calmed down.

"Zhang Guandao (battalion-level officer has a false title, now these leaders are still studying with the military academy, not leading soldiers), don't get excited, you can tell me, who is this Wang Mazi, how is his strength, and where is he begging for a living?"

Battalion Commander Zhang saluted Chen Xuan with an old-style military salute and said:

"Back to Boss Chen's words, Wang Mazi used to be a member of our new army, but when we were in the mountains, we were unwilling to deal with their group of people in Mojiaao, these people do not follow the rules, everyone robs, the people in the area of Mojiaao were not lightly harmed by them, it is said that Wang Mazi was not a good person when he was in the new army, once robbed a woman and harmed, I didn't think that this woman was a Manchurian nobleman, this time it was a big disaster, so I took dozens of people to sneak away, at first I didn't dare to move in this area, Even if they were hunting wild food everywhere, they somehow gathered hundreds of people, and stationed them in Mojiaao, and the officers and soldiers ran away when they arrived, and the officers and soldiers left and came back, and some time ago our deserters also defected to them, and now there may be more than 2,000 people. ”

Sun Hongye asked people to find maps, these maps were drawn by the escort team after they arrived in the northeast, Zhenhua not only asked the escort team to be able to draw maps, but even the caravan had to learn this lesson.

After the map was taken, Sun Hongye continued to ask people who were familiar with the geographical environment of this area, marked various terrains on the map, and marked the location of Wang Mazi's cottage known to him, and asked in detail about the firepower configuration of the bandits.

Mojiaao is only less than eighty miles away from the provincial capital, even in the icy and snowy winter, Sun Hongye is sure that he can march in one day, but because he is going to fight, he will set the time of the march for two days, and carry out a strong attack on the third day.

This military operation is dominated by Sun Hongye, and the new military camp is also the elite out, with a total of more than 3,100 people singled out, it seems that Sun Hongye also wants to wipe out the bandits, and after more than a month of training, the officers and men of the new army have roughly become familiar with the way the escort team does things, and the soldiers who have been locked up and trained for more than a month have slowly integrated into this collective.

Early the next morning, the army officially started, so there was no uniform clothing, but more than a month of training has had an effect, and the soldiers are no longer staggering, one by one like green pines standing in the wind and snow, as the co-commander Sun Hongye is no exception, the entire school field has no other sound except for the rustling of snow, which also makes the low-level officials left by the Manchu Qing Dynasty amazed, they have never seen these Qiu Ba have such an honest time.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the army officially started, there were many horses in the Northeast, and there were many war horses in the Northeast Army, but in this kind of snow-covered winter, the march was not riding, they were all leading the march, Chen Xuan was no exception, bringing one of his own platoon of personal guards, leading the war horse to walk with the army.

One day, I came to a small town called Bajiao Town, which was about 20 miles away from the bandits' den in Mojiaao, and the other marching teams also arrived at the predetermined position under the report of the herald.

When the army set up camp, the soldiers could wash their feet in hot water and lie down to sleep after eating, but the officers couldn't, and the middle and low-level officers had to patrol the camp and arrange sentry posts, while Chen Xuan, Sun Hongye and others needed to make tactical adjustments according to the return of the scouts sent in the early stage.

Wang Mazi of Mojiaao doesn't seem to take the officers and soldiers in his eyes at all, they know too well what the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion are, they must have gone to the bottom of the mountain and put a few cannons at random, and then went around to catch some ordinary people and go back to the errands.

The grandson of the new arrival, surnamed Sun, is it okay? Wang Mazi scoffed at this, so after arranging a few spies, he went back to the room and hugged the two big girls to sleep.
