When Xia Jun got up the next day and blew the bed horn, he was stunned to find that Zhang Sigou and a group of bandits under him had cut off their braids.

"Commander, from today onwards, the brothers are messing with you." Zhang Sigou flattered.

Xia Jun paused for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay! The commander of this regiment naturally welcomes it very much, from today onwards, you are the members of the production team of this regiment, and you will be issued military uniforms in a moment. ”

The production team, no different from their current state, is still a laborer, but with a different name, and then put on a military uniform, the weapon is naturally still not issued.

Xia Jun was not at ease with these bandits, he only trusted honest farmers from peasant backgrounds.

When Zhang Sigou heard about the military uniform, he didn't react for a while, he was very happy, and soon joined the morning run.

After running for twenty minutes in the morning, a group of people were so tired that they couldn't breathe, and when it was time to eat, Xia Jun asked people to go to the warehouse to get twenty-three sets of military uniforms, and then sent them to Zhang Sigou.

When Zhang Sigou and the others took over the military uniforms, they found that Xia Jun did not issue guns to them.

"The production team is responsible for the production of the regiment, so naturally you don't need any guns, but if there is a need for combat, you will be recruited." Xia Jun said so, making Zhang Sigou so depressed that they couldn't do it.

Xia Jun's foundation is not very stable now, and now he is cultivating a confidant, and it is better to be innocent.

When the henchmen are cultivated, it doesn't hurt to absorb these more principled bandits in, as long as the military discipline is maintained.

……

The training continued day by day, and after the twenty-three bandits were organized into a production team, they also took care of all the cooking and laundry.

In terms of logistics, Lin Debao is in charge, and every three days he will go to other villages to buy a pig to send to the mountain, and sometimes he will buy sheep or cows.

Under Xia Jun's training, the fifteen soldiers in the regiment gradually mastered conventional combat skills.

Every morning, I get up for a morning run, followed by a half-hour queue, followed by weight-bearing marching, 5km cross-country and other training events.

In the afternoon, he began to shoot targets, throw grenades, and fight bayonets.

In terms of marksmanship training, Xia Jun can be said to adopt a perverted training method, hanging bricks on the head of the gun, lighting an incense stick at night, and letting the soldiers make incense.

"Bullets can be fired casually, and the five people with the best marksmanship will be rewarded with ten silver dollars." Xia Jun said to them, everything in the exchange platform is expensive, but this bullet and supplies are not expensive.

Most of the evening was spent educating them, including the twenty-three bandits.

"What you have in your hands is the most advanced weapon in the world."

"The military ideas and concepts I teach you are also the most advanced in the world."

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to die at this time, and the Eight-Nation Coalition has already defeated the Qing army when it invaded China, although they now have several new armies, their weapons are not as good as ours, and they also do not have the support of the common people."

"We want to destroy the brutal rule of the Manchu Qing and the oppression of the Chinese people by the foreign powers, so that every compatriot can live a good life."

Xia Jun kept repeating these words to build their self-confidence and faith.

Of course, these are just slogans.

After half a month of training, Xia Jun felt that it was almost over, and the fifteen soldiers in the regiment had already possessed preliminary combat effectiveness, and their marksmanship had also improved by leaps and bounds.

Xia Jun has already decided on a development plan in his heart.

His development plan was to surround the cities with the countryside before the Xinhai Revolution, and as soon as the Xinhai Revolution broke out, he would immediately capture the county seats.

The specific way for the countryside to surround the city is to bring the countryside under the jurisdiction of the security militia and then resist taxes by force.

If you want to control the countryside, you must first get the support of the people.

After thinking about it, Xia Jun used high-yield crops to buy off the landlords and the people, dealt a blow to the landlords in Hengba Township, and maintained a good relationship with the landlords with a good reputation.

At the same time, the security team often goes to the countryside to help the villagers, and the villagers help when they are in trouble, so as to buy the hearts of the people.

And the security regiment will establish a main force, as well as a second-line force based on townships and towns.

The second-line troops took the designated townships and towns as their areas of activity, violently resisted taxes, bought the hearts of the people, and eliminated bandits. And the main forces were responsible for dealing with the Manchu counterattack.

Violent tax resistance and law and order maintenance are the key to this, and if Xia Jun wants to strengthen his strength based on the countryside, he must first ensure that the rural tax revenue is not collected by the government.

The tax of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was very heavy, and at the same time the administration was also very [***], the Qing court collected every 100 million taels of taxes, and the following had to bear 400 million taels, and there were dozens of miscellaneous taxes.

In this environment, it is impossible for any national industry to develop, and a commodity itself is inferior to foreigners in terms of production technology, and what has an advantage over foreigners is the freight rate, and foreigners' goods have to be transported from far away, while local goods are not needed.

However, foreigners enjoy preferential tariff policies, while national industries do not have any preferential treatment, only exploitation by officials and checkpoints where taxes are collected everywhere. Those who can develop are some officials and businessmen, that is, businessmen who maintain good relations with the government, such as Zhang Jian, a great industrialist in modern times.

After controlling the countryside, Xia Jun can also set up some factories, and there are equipment in the exchange platform, as long as there are enough points.

The premise is that there are points, and it is very important to suppress bandits.

……

According to Zhang Sigou, there is a clan surnamed Lu in Xixiang, and this clan has been a bandit for generations.

The Lu clan belongs to the bandits in the world, there are more than 200 families in the clan, and they have been killing people and setting fires openly and secretly for generations, they are very advocating the way of bandits, and believe: "Born as a robber, it is not wrong to be a ghost." "I'd rather bully others than be bullied." "It's not bad to be young, and it's too late to regret it when you're old." "Husbands are not afraid of death, and they will be born early after death." "You can't rob people, and you will be poor for the rest of your life." "Rather than die of illness, silently; It is better to die of banditry and become famous through the ages. ”

Zhang Sigou is very different from this Lu clansman.

Zhang Sigou can still find some shadows of righteous bandits, the bandits under his hands do not tie up the poor people, nor kill people indiscriminately, let alone annihilate, silver women, only rob the rich, he said that it is to rob the rich and help the poor, of course, this is a slogan, rob the rich, and help themselves.

The Lu clan is the entire clan as a bandit, staring at where and where it was immediately looted, killing, kidnapping, annihilation, silver, in Xixiang, Komatsu, Dongyou, Dongfeng can be described as notorious.

The reason why the Lu clan was able to become a bandit was mainly because the control of the government over the society at the end of the Qing Dynasty had been completely lost, and the whole society was out of control to a certain extent.

The Xinhai Revolution was like a fuse, piercing this thin layer of paper, and the Manchu Qing's loss of control over society was fully demonstrated in the Xinhai Revolution.

This phenomenon also appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, many clans seemed to have no problems on the surface, and even the children of the clan had taken the examination to raise people and jinshi, but the clans were secretly doing murder and arson, and as the dynasty's control over society became lower and lower, their behavior became more and more bold.

"That's a bit of a no-brainer! Four dogs, do you know where they are hiding? Xia Jun asked Zhang Sigou.

"Yes, it's in the mountains, but their village is more complicated inside, and there's an earthen wall outside." Zhang Sigou said, "If the 30 or so of us go into the alleys in the village, it is estimated that we will get lost." ”

Xia Jun pondered for a moment, but decided to investigate in detail first, as long as the Lu family clan was solved, the security group would be able to become famous in one battle, and it would be much easier to move at that time.

The next day, Xia Jun asked Lin Chenggui to stay in the cottage, he took four personal guards, and also took Zhang Sigou and set off, the Lu family clan was entrenched in a ravine forty miles away, the road was relatively far, but it could be reached in half a day.

Xia Jun arrived at the outskirts of Lujia Village at noon that day, but he did not go any further because he saw some farmers weeding in the rice fields.

These people are obviously from Lujia Village, and if they continue to go in, it will be easy to be exposed.

So Xia Jun decided to approach Lujia Village after nightfall, and then survey the terrain of Lujia Village in the early morning, and the six of them hid in the forest, waiting for night to fall.

Xia Jun waited boredly, wanting to give an order, the younger brother had done everything properly, and there was still a way to go. It's really hard to start a business!

……

In the evening, the villagers who were working in the fields returned to the village one after another, and Xia Jun led people out of the forest, touched towards Lujia Village, and came to the outside of Lujia Village, Xia Jun roughly saw the outline of the terrain from a distance.

Lujia Village is built on the mountainside, the mountain is not very high, and it is not very dangerous, it can only be regarded as a hillside. But a two-man earthen wall was built outside the village.

Looking inside over the earthen wall, there are several watchtowers inside. The village is estimated to be full of alleys, and if you are not familiar with the terrain, you will be dizzy twice.

Xia Jun also saw two bandits patrolling with guns in the binoculars.

In the dim light, Xia Jun quickly drew a frontal topographic map of Lujia Village on a piece of paper, and said, "Find a way to go around the back mountain at night to have a look." ”
