The newly expanded joint defense force is composed of three infantry battalions, an artillery battalion with 18 Z08 mountain guns, and more than 2,000 troops, including reconnaissance companies and other regimental units. The pen is written by Xiao Mubai as the head of the regiment www.biquge.info Yang Zhenhong is the political commissar, and the rank of colonel is the rank. Since Xiao Mubai is usually not in the Eagle's Beak Rock Barracks most of the time, Yang Zhenhong is basically in charge of it.

For Yang Zhenhong, a newcomer who has just arrived, being able to serve as the political commissar of the regiment shows how much trust Xiao Mubai has given. Yang Zhenhong also knows this, and can only be secretly grateful.

Since becoming the political commissar of the Communist League and entering the top level of the Communist Party, Yang Zhenhong can be regarded as having a preliminary and clear understanding of the strength developed by Xiao Mubai. The more in-depth he looked, the more shocked he was by the forces developed by Xiao Mubai, not to mention anything else, the regiment he was in was no worse than the Japanese army, and after he had a detailed understanding of the quality of the soldiers, he knew that there was no problem at all with such a regiment and a standard wing facing the Japanese army head-on.

Through various observations, Yang Zhenhong simply compared the League with the Communist Party, which is not better, and only after comparing it did he know that it was simply a heaven and an underground. Not to mention the armed forces in their hands, industrial and mining enterprises, etc. Compared with the Communist Party, the League is simply a loosely organized political alliance, but it is such a group, and there is still intrigue and struggle within it for reasons such as the distribution of power. Thinking of what Xiao Mubai said, what kind of combat power does such a political group have.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhenhong sighed deeply. When he turned his head through the window and saw the soldiers of the joint defense team who were training in full swing on the playground, Yang Zhenhong's whole person began to be full of passion again, and his eyes revealed firmness. This is where the hope of the Chinese revolution lies.

Xiao Mubai stayed in the barracks of the county patrol battalion as usual, but now he, the commander, seems to be leisurely, Huasheng Group is in charge of Zhao Mingchuan, and Yang Zhenhong and others are also staring at the joint defense team. As a leader, he always has to give his subordinates room to play, and Xiao Mubai still understands the principle of grasping the big and letting go of the small.

These bastards in the patrol battalion have been a little lax in the past two days, isn't it time to play with them in a different way? Get a 400-meter steeplechase ride? Or armed off-road?

Just when Xiao Mubai was thinking about how to toss and toss the soldiers patrolling the battalion under his command, a report interrupted Xiao Mubai's deep thought.

"Report, the commander, the prefect yamen sent someone to ask to see your lordship."

Although Xiao Mubai was very puzzled about what the prefect was looking for him, he still asked Chen Chuan to bring him in.

"Commander Xiao, the prefect has asked you to come to the mansion to talk about it, saying that there is a discussion."

"Oh? Do you know what happened to the prefect looking for me? Xiao Mubai asked suspiciously

"This lowly position is not clear"

"Okay, you go back to the prefect first, and Xiao will arrive later."

Today's Guangnan prefect Guan Xiaoyan has a very comfortable life, compared with several surrounding counties, Guangnan has not had a single disturbance in the past year. In the surrounding counties, there are chaos of people making trouble, on this point, Guan Xiaoyan is quite proud, the rise of Huasheng Group, that is under his care, now Huasheng Group every year for Guangnan Province to create taxes, that can no longer be counted with two fingers. These are all political achievements! If possible, Guan Xiaoyan really hopes that life will go on like this. It's just that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, no, now the matter is coming, two days ago, the rebel party made a rebellion in Hekou and occupied the county seat of Hekou, and the governor Yamen urgently dispatched the defense battalions of various prefectures in Ankaiguang Road to help.

Hearing the news of Xiao Mubai's arrival, Guan Xiaoyan personally got up and went out.

Seeing Guan Xiaoyan who came out to greet him, Xiao Mubai also secretly wondered, and he didn't know what kind of big thing happened, but he could make this prefect, who was usually as stable as Mount Tai, couldn't wait to come out to greet him.

"Zicheng, you can be regarded as coming, I'm in a hurry, hurry up and follow me into the house."

Xiao Mubai didn't have time to reply, so he followed Guan Xiaoyan into the prefect's yamen with a puzzled face, and then walked halfway to the lobby, and finally learned what happened through the mouth of his master Zhang Baocheng, it turned out that the Kuomintang launched an armed uprising in the estuary a few days ago, and now there is a tendency to spread in the direction of Mengzi, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou mobilized the defense battalions of various prefectures to quell the chaos.

Hearing the news, Xiao Mubai stretched out his hand and slapped his forehead, stunned for a while, he was really a pig's head, how could he forget such an important thing. Guan Xiaoyan saw Xiao Mubai's stunned expression, and he didn't think much about it, but he thought that Xiao Mubai was just anxious because he heard the reason for the chaos caused by the Kuomintang, and thought that he wasn't like this before? So he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Zicheng and rest assured, the mouth of the river is still hundreds of miles away from my Guangnan, and the revolutionary party's chaos has not yet affected here. I have come to you today because the Governor has mobilized our defense battalion to quell the chaos, and you are the commander of the patrol battalion, and you are responsible for this. I don't know what you think? ”

Hearing that Guan Xiaoyan would be wrong, Xiao Mubai also followed his words, frowned, and said: "Go to the estuary to quell the chaos, there is no opinion on the subordinates, just prepare the grain and grass tomorrow and set off." ”

"Well, that's good, this is a military report from the governor's yamen, Zicheng, you can take a look first, and you can have a good idea."

Xiao Mubai nodded, stretched out his hand to take the military report, and looked at it carefully.

In the early morning of April 30, 1908, in Annam, hundreds of kilometers away from the border line of Quang Nam, the revolutionary Huang Mingtang led a group of stragglers who had withdrawn from Zhennan Pass to quietly cross the border river, and after joining a group of local Hui parties, launched an attack on the mouth of the river. Upon hearing the news of the arrival of the revolutionary party, a group of police and soldiers who had long been dissatisfied with Cai Zhengjun, who usually ate empty salaries and withheld salaries, took the opportunity to mutiny, shot him, and then directly joined the revolutionary party to capture the estuary. The next day, the revolutionary party, with the assistance of Huang Yuanzhen, launched an attack on the Hekou Fort, and Wang Zhenbang, the deputy governor of Yunnan Frontier, was killed by his subordinate Xiong Tong, and the fort was occupied by the revolutionary party. Immediately after that, the revolutionary party attacked Xinjie, Nanxi and other places one after another, and the patrol battalions of the two places surrendered and attached themselves one after another, and the revolutionary party approached the old and Mengzi.

Looking at the information in the military newspaper in his hand, Xiao Mubai knew that although the revolutionary party sounded powerful, the Qing Dynasty could not be put down now, and it would have to wait a few more years. I don't complain in my heart, this revolutionary party is really, really brainless, I only have a few people and a few guns, and I don't look at how many Qing troops in Yunnan dare to launch an armed uprising. After the general reported it back to Guan Xiaoyan, he thought about it for a while, Xiao Mubai said goodbye to Guan Xiaoyan and walked out of the door, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, in order to succeed once in the future, this time he had to play the role of an executioner who suppressed the revolution.
