Chapter 350: I want to take a bath

The next day, Zhang Chenfeng and Li Tao arrived one after another.

According to Lin Xiao's instructions, Zhang Chenfeng has already recruited troops in Dongguan and Xin'an counties, and in just ten days, more than 3,000 people have been recruited, and they are preparing to start training in Humen Town.

After receiving the order, he immediately led the army to move the defense, and with more than 3,000 recruits, as well as more than 600 people from the original reconnaissance battalion, and a team of nearly 4,000 people, he came to Guangzhou Mansion in a mighty way.

The one who went to Humen Fort and Xin'an County to take over the defense was an independent battalion that Xia Bomin had transferred from Panyu County nearby.

According to Lin Xiao's meaning, this battalion will soon be given priority to being equipped with "Zhongzheng," and in the future, it will be allocated to Li Hanzhi's Hong Kong and Macao Military and Hong Kong Garrison Regiment.

Thanks to Xia Bomin's wealth, there are as many as twelve independent battalions under his command alone, otherwise, if he gave the entire battalion to Li Hanzhi, he would not be distressed to death?

On the day he arrived in Guangzhou, Zhang Chenfeng let the main two companies of the reconnaissance battalion enter the city and directly garrison the governor's palace.

Their task was to accept Li Tao's temporary command and directly participate in the land reform work.

The rest of the men, mainly recruits, were stationed in the eastern part of the city and began their three-month military training.

All the war horses left in Qinzhou will be brought by Li Hanzhi by the way.

In this battle, many military horses were captured in Zhaoqing and Guangzhou, and Lin Xiao planned to allocate most of them to Wang Xing's department, but it was more than enough to select some good horses from them to form a modern cavalry regiment of more than 3,000 people.

Li Tao, who arrived in a hurry, did not say a word and immediately threw himself into the land reform work.

The land reform movement with "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" as the core was the idea of strengthening the country finally finalized by the "three-person group" after careful consideration, and Li Tao was naturally one of the initiators.

Compared with Lin Xiao, he was even more determined that only by effectively imitating the founding ideas of the later generations of Taizu and letting the vast number of peasants become the real masters of the land through land reform could the productive forces be completely liberated, the stubborn diseases of the feudal dynasties of the past dynasties could be completely cured, and the land of China could get out of the vicious circle of the rise and fall of dynasties, and take advantage of the fact that the Western powers had not yet entered industrialization to achieve overtaking in the corners and achieve an immortal empire standing in the east.

Therefore, Li Tao was not surprised by Lin Xiao's sudden decision to make a move in advance, but took it for granted.

He had long suggested that if he wanted to properly handle the relationship with the imperial court and the major allies after driving out the Tartars, and get rid of the internecine infighting, then he must take the lead in building the base area in his hands into a convincing demonstration area with a highly developed material and spiritual civilization.

Speaking with facts is the most convincing and effective way to change other people's perceptions.

Therefore, in the afternoon of the same day, as soon as the confessions of the arrested criminals arrived, Li Tao quickly launched a thunderous blow with lightning speed, ordered people to raid their mansions or stockades, and completely cut off their ambitions.

The next thing to do was to distribute their land deeds directly to the local poor hired peasants in the name of the government.

Then, the suffocating blow quickly spread.

In just a few days, not only Zhaoqing, Shaozhou, Nanxiong, and other prefectures near Guangzhou Prefecture, but also Leizhou, Gaozhou, Qinzhou, and Luoding Prefecture in western Guangdong Province were directly led by the garrison, and a vigorous land reform movement began.

The two prefectures of Chaozhou and Huizhou in eastern Guangdong were personally deployed by Xia Bomin, and several independent battalions under his command also acted separately.

Of course, after weighing it again and again, Lin Xiao and Li Tao were still merciful.

The targets of this crackdown were limited to the elimination of traitors, bullying landlords, and unscrupulous profiteers, and those enlightened landlords and rich peasants, as well as the majority of small and medium-sized merchants in various cities, gave them an opportunity to put things in order to rectify themselves and see what would happen.

……

The brothers were so busy that their buttocks were smoking, but Lin Xiao was about to get sick.

Everyone is busy, no one has time to chat with him anymore, Lin Xiao, who is hiding alone in the north of the city headquarters, is eating and sleeping every day in addition to staring at the map and thinking.

By his side, in addition to Ling'er, there were only soldiers on duty guarding the granary, who stretched their necks every day, but there was no trace of their brothers.

Even his chief guard, Situ Zheng, led the special combat team members to wander around the mountains near Baiyun Mountain every day, seizing the time to conduct various mountain training.

Right now, Yu Cheng's squadron has been established, and Situ is acting as the squadron leader, but he is acting as the captain, and he has no time to revolve around Lin Xiao.

Except for the occasional whim and personally presiding over the training of some difficult subjects, Lin Xiao had nothing to do when he was full, so he could only sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun.

Moving a chair to sit in the sun and lazily napping to catch lice has been what he has been most passionate about in recent days.

Spring in the south comes early, goes quickly, it is only the end of April, there are already signs of early summer, as the temperature warms day by day, everything has recovered, and the outside of Guangzhou is thriving.

However, the nasty lice and fleas also began to be active, which made Lin Xiao very unhappy.

Everything is good in this era, but in addition to the lack of electricity, the sanitary situation is also very troublesome to Lin Xiao and other future generations.

In spring, fleas can grow in places such as beds, straw mats, and cattle and sheep and horse pens.

What's even more embarrassing is that Lin Xiao suddenly found that there were disgusting lice in his specially long hair, and he was bitten all over his body at night, which greatly affected the quality of sleep, and caused him to take a grate to cover his hair every time he took a shower and washed his hair.

……

"NND, Yu Jifan, this kid, I don't know what to do in Qinzhou, why can't he even make flea medicine, he is bitten like this every day, which is the life of a human being......"

At noon one day half a month later, Lin Xiao suddenly jumped up from the chair, scolding in his mouth, and stomping his feet desperately.

As soon as he took a comfortable nap, he was woken up by a flea bite, and Lin Xiao shouted irritably into the house: "Ling'er, Ling'er...... Boil some water, I'm going to take a shower! ”

"Hey, it's coming,"

Ling'er hurriedly ran out of the house, and when she saw him jumping and jumping, she sneered, "Oh, why did you just take a bath after eating......

"Less nonsense, I'm going to change into clean clothes and go to the school in the afternoon to see the recruit training."

Lin Xiao waved his hand, undoubtedly authentic.

"Okay, okay, I'll go too." Ling'er shouted excitedly.

"Hehe, do you miss your brother?"

Lin Xiao said narrowly, "If you want to go with you, then hurry up and boil water." ”

"Hey, okay, brother, wait a minute, it'll be fine in a while......"

Ling'er hurriedly went into the house to boil water and prepare the bath bucket, when her shout floated behind her, "You go to find the grate first, and if you can't find it for a while, you will call me again." ”
