Huguan County.

"Sir. The county order family, is it really not moving? Li Yun asked Ma Heng.

"No, I can't. Despite this, that problem. People are also dutiful. He is the county commander, and it is his duty to defend the city, and it is also our duty to attack the county seat. People are doing what they are told. There is no need to embarrass someone's family. Ma Heng said. For the Huguan County Order family. Because the Red Turban Army bombarded very suddenly. It came too quickly. In a panic, the county magistrate hanged himself. And his family is also waiting in fear for the final fate. After entering the city. Some officers and soldiers also volunteered to do so. After all, they thought it was a trophy of the Red Turbans. The Red Turbans have the right to deal with such things. It's for them. It's not a very difficult thing to do. But when Ma Heng dealt with this matter, he took another way to solve such a problem. That is, they give the families of these county orders some real estate, land. All Red Turban soldiers were forbidden to engage in purposeful harassment. Violators. Shot. Many officers were extremely dissatisfied with this.

"Oh." Li Yun said with some disappointment.

"This pot of Guan County is not a simple stick. It's about management. Manage. Got it? Ma Heng said to the other party.

"I'm still staying in the military region, there are a lot of things reported, and many things are endlessly handled. You know if it goes on like this, me. I can't say that. I don't know many words, but the report that came in is so thick, I don't know many words, how do I know what's going on? It's so embarrassing. Something like that, for me. It's just the worst thing that can happen. In such a situation, our situation will collapse completely. Li Yun said.

Ma Heng looked at Li Yun.

"Sir, don't let me take care of this county. I can't control anything like that. Li Yun said.

"Damn it. You can manage the strength of a brigade. A county town can't be managed. Ma Heng looked at Li Yun angrily and said.

"Sir. It's too hard. This county is simply a real thing. Li Yun said.

"Alright. I know. Just wait a few more days, and someone will be sent from above. Ma Heng said helplessly.

"Report sir. There is an emergency military situation. A staff officer reported urgently.

"What's the matter?" Ma Heng asked the staff officer.

"Our logistical supply convoys have been attacked again by bandits. It was the people of Feiying Village who did it. They snatched a batch of grain. Most critically, they also snatched an artillery piece. A few**. The staff officer reported. Such a situation report made Li Yun and Ma Heng feel very annoyed.

"Damn it. Again, these are the bandits. Lao Tzu killed them. Li Yun scolded.

"Stop. Gave the order? Ma Heng asked.

"Your job is to stay here. And not to fight any bandits. Bandits are not your thing. Ma Heng said.

"Yes. Sir, you know that. These bandits have robbed the supplies of our military district before, this time. Lao Tzu fought for them. Li Yun said excitedly.

"Stop. Tell you. Exterminating the bandits is a matter of necessity. In such a situation, you'd better stay here for me and keep the pot closed. If the bandits get it, there will be a big problem. Ma Heng said.

"I've already reported it. I think there will be a reaction soon. Ma Heng said. Before coming to Huguan, Ma Heng made a relevant report on the problem of bandits here. Red Turban Army. Huguan defenders. Bandits. The balance of power between the three changed greatly after the surrender of the Huguan defenders. Other words. The Red Turbans no longer allow the bandits to do anything like this.

The problem of bandits must be solved as soon as possible. Because this region needs a stable economic order. The bandits can't continue to exist. The balance between the three has been completely lost.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"Now Huguan County has been beaten. The problem of bandits should also be solved. This issue must be resolved as soon as possible. Shang Wu looked at the report of the bandits in his hand.

"The problem of bandits is not very serious, and you can train while training. while fighting. In this way, the reorganization of the 3rd Infantry Division can be completed as soon as possible. Jia Xu said.

"I agree to do so. If they do this, they can also improve some combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Shang Wu nodded.

"Still. There are a few differences with those bandits. Some of them are indeed deliberately against us. They burned, killed, and looted. Do no evil. But I also wanted some, because I was dissatisfied with some of the practices of the imperial court and had to do so. In such a situation. Some of the bandits were against the imperial court. They don't actually want to do that, and I think we can adapt them a little bit, and we can't solve this problem completely by military means. Jia Xu said.

"Huh. You're thinking far-reaching. However, we still have great difficulties in implementing it. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"There is no talent to do so. Is that right? Jia Xu asked.

"Yes. This negotiation is a technical thing. And it also needs to be convinced. A series of soft policies. But our ones. It's all military temper. I went, there had to be a big problem. Once they attacked, they were quite crazy and cooperative. Is this possible? Shang Wu shook his head and said.

"So, send the relevant personnel as soon as possible. If not, let's transfer personnel from the military academy. What do you think? Jia Xu asked.

"Military Academy. They have just entered the military academy. Is this going to be staffed? What kind of people can be deployed to solve such a thing? Shang Wu shook his head and said. Obviously, for Jia Xu's proposal. Shangwu was reluctant to do so.

"I was thinking if we could get some people out of those faculty to solve this kind of thing, you see. Those instructors were all born officers, and not only that. Combat experience, political ideas. They are all very different from our officers. Such talents. It's a shame to leave it alone. And that's not all. Jia Xu said.

"Alright. Come on. I know. What you also want to say is that this is a war. It's something that you learn on the battlefield, if you can't get in touch with war in time, it's such a thing. It's hard to solve. Is that right? Shang Wu asked.

"Yes. Right. Right. Jia Xu said with a smile.

"So be it. It's not good for us to transfer them directly. After all, they have their own choices, and their willingness to stay has helped us a lot. But if this situation continues, it will not be good for us to regain people's hearts. I don't think so. We write a job posting, so that it depends on the individual's willingness to do such things. Shang Wu suggested. Jia Xu nodded. Expressing approval of such a thing.

Lijiazhuang Artillery Factory. The artillery needed by the Republican Army was produced here.

"You are welcome to visit the artillery factory. We are rough craftsmen. You can come here. It's just hard to believe. A production supervisor said with a smile. He was a middle-aged craftsman. He started out as a craftsman who cast musical instruments. The experience in bronzes is still relatively rich. This is the talent that Shang Wu and they unearthed near the giant deer. Because there is relevant technical experience. He was sent to an artillery factory. The craftsman then took advantage of his experience. The artillery became easier to cast. Solved a lot of technical problems with many defects in artillery.

"Huh. That's so kind. We came this time to study at the artillery factory. After all, artillery will play a big role in the future. Zhang Xian said. They were followed by a number of cadets. They are well aware that in future operations, the role of artillery will play an even greater role.

"Hmm. Let's get practical. Come on. Visit. The Director said. Then they were invited to see everything about the artillery, the casting process and so on. These processes will have a big impact on them.

The military academy organizes the relevant branches of the military to study in the arsenal, after all, the technical nature of the weapons makes the Republican Army begin to look for technical means to solve the problem.

The military school has an infantry section, an artillery section, an engineer section. Logistics Section. Due to the lack of necessary horses, the cavalry section could not be further opened. But cavalry is an inevitable research process. In such a situation. Despite the lack of marked equipment. For example, horses. But they can be replaced in other ways.

However, the military academy established a cavalry study class. In fact, this was a preparation for laying the groundwork for future cavalry operations.

"That. Supervisor. Can we find a way to make the artillery smaller and easier to move? Zhang Xian asked.

"This. There is a certain technical difficulty. I've heard the chief say such a question, talking about artillery, but in fact, yo ah is under a lot of pressure. Especially in the position of the second half of the artillery. It's a lot of pressure. This pressure should be expressed by what fear. In a word. The pressure generated at the moment of the explosion is very high. If the weight is reduced, it means that the pressure on the gun is reduced. In this case, the power will be reduced. If possible, the artillery will also be damaged. The Director said.

"Once the artillery explodes, it will cause a lot of pressure. You know. In such a situation, many things become extremely difficult. Once the cannon is blown up. The threat of artillery is the greatest. We cast artillery. You can't joke with the lives of artillerymen. The Director said.

"If you do that, a lot of things will be unfavorable. If you can't lose weight, your mobility is greatly limited. Zhang Xian said with great embarrassment. The artillery is still too heavy.
