Fifty miles east of Julu, this place already belongs to the actual scope of the official army. Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao brought their 800 brothers here to develop their own bases, originally there were more than 970 people, but they were transferred to military academies and teaching teams by the Red Turban Army to train military backbones. They also know that this is the best way to improve their combat effectiveness.

The sheriff and the treasurer have not yet arrived. Everything is still just an empty shelf. They had their own number, the 1st Independent Brigade of the Red Turban Army. This is the formation of partisan detachments.

"Phew. Old Zhou, I regret it now. Pei Yuanshao said.

"What? Don't want to do it anymore? Zhou Cang was holding a telescope to look at the enemy's situation, which was given to them by Ma Heng, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade. The whole brigade, just this one telescope.

"No, this guerrilla force, after all, is not a regular army, I knew that this guerrilla force is just an ambush, and I haven't encountered any results, so I would have quit a long time ago." Pei Yuanshao found it very boring, because the guerrillas' attack targets were very single. The logistics supply convoy of the official army and the official army, because Huangfu Song strengthened the protection of their logistics supply convoy, which made the attack costly, and many people felt that it was not cost-effective, they buried a few **, only one was blown up. The rest were learned by the officers and soldiers. They were all taken away. Pei Yuanshao, who got up, almost rushed out with a big axe to cut people.

"There's no way, you said you want us to maintain our independence, but what is the result? Independence was there. But it's not as good as before, it's really fucking aggrieved, to be honest, I feel very aggrieved. Zhou Cang said.

"You say, what are we going to do? Let's go talk to Chief Xu and organize us. Anyway, let's get a battalion commander, and the regiment commander will do such a job. I saw those officials who were very imposing. Pei Yuanshao said.

"It's easy to say, we don't want this face." Zhou Cang said.

"What to do, we have to pull up the team, you can't underestimate us, you don't see, those who used to be yellow turban thieves are living very well, we can't do this." Zhou Cang said.

"But what are we going to do? If you look at the following, the officers and soldiers are protecting just like something. There are so many people, hundreds of us, it's not enough for people to stuff their teeth. This ambush can't be fought at all. This Chief Xu also stipulates that we are not allowed to rob the things of the civilians, the businessmen cannot rob them, but also protect them, the people's food cannot be robbed, nothing can be done, we are stupid here, basking in the sun, enough sun. When I went back to eat, I didn't even find it interesting. Pei Yuanshao said impatiently. The officers and troops strengthened the defenses of their supply convoys, which made it impossible for them to attack directly. The ambush failed several times, much to the annoyance of the two of them. If it continues, their situation may be really bad. Faced with such a situation, they all feel that it is difficult to sustain it.

"Yes, we can't go on like this. This Red Turban Army is good enough for us. But we didn't achieve anything at all, and to be honest, I felt like I didn't have the face to eat. Zhou Cang said.

"But you see it. The situation of the officers and soldiers is even crazier than we expected. This old boy of Huangfu Song is like an old hen, damn it, we can't do it. Pei Yuanshao scolded.

"Forget it. Wait, maybe we'll have a chance. In that case, it's good. Zhou Cang helplessly took the binoculars and looked into the distance, but unfortunately nothing came, the ambush not only has intelligence, but also the ability to eat the other party, but their current situation seems to be difficult to eat the other party. This is an extremely difficult choice.

Command of the 3rd Assault Infantry Brigade.

"The training of muskets should be accelerated. If there is no gun, let them take a wooden stick and the model to train. If the musket operation is not good, just rehearse the queue, in short, you must be ahead of all the teams, understand? "Chief of Staff Zhang Li issued a combat order to a staff officer. The establishment of the staff officer system has greatly accelerated the training of officers, especially those of the middle class, and officers at and above the rank of lieutenant have the opportunity to work in the general staff; after work, after studying for a period of time and delegating to the troops, they can serve as officers of the middle forces, and they will have a certain conceptual understanding of the overall situation, and at the same time, they can also greatly improve their combat efficiency and practical experience.

Report. Sir. Li Dao was ordered to come and report. Major Li Dao came in energetically and said. He had just arrived from military school, and he decided to make a big move. At the very least, it is delegated to the troops, and it is also an extremely powerful combat force.

"Good. Well, it's just in time. Zhang Li patted the other party's shoulder at this time and said.

"How was studying at a military school?" Zhang Li asked Li Dao.

"It's okay, most of the grades in each subject are excellent." Li Dao said with a smile.

"Hmm. Yes, I read your assessment that you have great achievements in the economy, in the military, and in dealing with the village problem, is that true? Zhang Li asked.

"Yes, sir, you know, our team used to be guerrillas, and many of them were transferred from guerrillas and militias, and they have a lot of experience in this area, albeit regular combat. They have suffered a lot, but they can still do it. Li Dao said.

"Hmm. Good. There is now a shortage of officers everywhere, and there is also a shortage of political officers. In particular, the recent situation at the brigade headquarters has seen a very special situation. Zhang Li said.

"If you have anything to do, sir, leave it to me." Li Dao said with a smile. He was eighteen years old, a young, energetic young man who had been transferred from the local militia. Therefore, there is a good way to deal with the work of the militia and the guerrilla warfare.

"Well, recently the army set up an independent guerrilla brigade, the composition of this force is more complicated, some from the local militia added there, but most of them are veterans of the Yellow Turban Army, especially if you are going to cooperate with the other party, there are two Yellow Turban Army generals, one is called Zhou Cang, who is good to talk in terms of personality, and the other is called Pei Yuanshao, who has a lot of strange words, but his temperament is not good. They have just arrived there to develop, and the place fifty miles east of Julu, which is your guerrilla zone, is a little difficult to develop. Zhang Li said.

"Sir, I, I don't want to go to the guerrillas." Li Dao said.

"Why? The guerrillas are not the armed forces of our Red Turban Army? If that's the case, you kid give me the go-back to the military academy. Zhang Li said dissatisfied.

"Nope. Sir, I'm just, I learned some regular operations at the military academy, and the troops are being expanded, and we need to have new weapons and equipment, so I go to the guerrillas at this time. I, I don't feel like I'm using what I've learned. Li Dao said with a smile. When he was in military school, he heard about it. New equipment was to be used for this operation, which he had seen in military schools. Muskets, artillery. It's powerful. If such weapons are prepared, the officers and soldiers will have to be afraid of three points when they see them. Even with a company, he dared to fight with more than 500 people on the other side. But now, when he returned to the troops, he suddenly returned to the guerrillas, and he knew best what the situation was like with the guerrillas.

"Don't get emotional, and don't complain. Let me tell you, now that the troops are being expanded, sooner or later the guerrillas will have to be incorporated into the regular establishment of our brigade and have it done. It's the establishment of a regiment, haven't you always wanted to be the head of the regiment? Tell you, here's your chance. Zhang Li said solemnly.

"You kid, don't make a fuss, if the guerrillas don't develop well, when the time comes, there will be problems with the expansion, you will always be the company commander for me." Zhang Li said solemnly.

"Yes, sir, I will bring you a regiment." Li Dao said solemnly. Despite some reluctance, he still had to accept this order, because it allowed him to develop quickly.

"Well, sir, if I develop a brigade, will I be able to become a brigade commander?" Li Dao asked with a grin. In fact, the guerrillas also had the advantage of being guerrillas, since each expansion was carried out by the reorganization of the guerrillas before they developed into a regular army. They also have their own benefits. That is, the autonomy is very large.

"You still want to be a company commander for Lao Tzu, see what you can do, brigade commander. If you develop into a brigade. Lao Tzu will be the chief of staff with you. Zhang Li scolded angrily.

"Get out, I'll be angry when I see you kid, get out." Zhang Li smiled and drove the other party away. Li Dao knows that how to develop depends on their ability. Thinking of this, he felt that he should find some books, and perhaps, they could really develop a brigade.

Lijiazhuang. Inside the War Department.

"They bought a lot of coal. Paid some money, this part of the funds, what to do? Jia Xu asked, there are some problems with funds for the time being, but, fundamentally speaking, there are still some problems, which are related to their future development.

"Mint silver coins, lend them to factories, let them expand production, mainly arsenals, sell some technology, let them produce parts." Shang Wu said.

"Well, though, there's still a big funding gap, and we need more money to address these challenges." Jia Xu said.

"That's easy to say. There are many factories, we can pick or release conditions, let them merge and merge into large factories, for example, we need more than 100 craftsmen and more than 30 excellent craftsmen. The scale cannot be lower than this standard. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. This is a way to do this, so that the factories will be merged, and we will have less choice, and their scope will become larger. This part of the military order will also become larger. Jia Xu said with a smile.
