"Everything will be fine." Yang Shuoming said with a smile, "As long as we work together." ”

Listening to Yang Shuoming's words, Xu Yuanjin shook his head with a smile and nodded again.

"By the way, how did you get the news that something happened here?" Yang Shuoming suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Of course someone told me." Xu Yuanjin looked at Yang Shuoming a little strangely, "What?" Didn't you send someone to the town to look for me? ”

"I didn't send anyone, did I?" Yang Shuoming was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you find it by the Tanma you arranged?" ”

"No, Tanma only found out later!" Xu Yuanjin thought back to the scene last night, and his brows began to tighten little by little, "Could it be someone from the Old Wu faction?" It's not right either......"

"That's not right! It's not our people who report the news! Xu Yuanjin suddenly shouted, "That person...... It's a woman! ”

"Female?" Yang Shuoming was also shocked when he heard Xu Yuanjin's words.

"That's right, it's definitely a woman! At that time, I didn't act immediately, I was afraid of being ambushed, and when I was waiting for the return of Tanma, her expression was simply ......" Xu Yuanjin said, "Strange, where did she come from?" Why help us? ”

"Did she bring a gun?" Yang Shuoming suddenly remembered someone and immediately asked.

"She was wearing very tight clothes, and she could only see that the gun was tucked into her clothes, and she didn't know what it was." Xu Yuanjin said, "She was wearing ordinary clothes, I only felt that I was blind, and I thought it was a newcomer from your company......"

"Did she carry two guns?" Yang Shuoming interrupted Xu Yuanjin's words and asked again.

Xu Yuanjin thought about it again and nodded affirmatively.

"I pretty much know who this woman is." Yang Shuoming nodded and told Xu Yuanjin about his encounter with Tang Jing, the mountain lord of Tianyun Mountain, and his daughter Tang Jiumei on the mountain that day.

"The people of Tianyun Mountain have sent us a message? It's fucking weird. Xu Yuanjin said with some amusement, "But why is this?" You must know that they are on the same path as those people in Tiemangshan and Liu Haozi. ”

Yang Shuoming remembered the blank letters of appointment that he handed over to Huang Yunzhi's collection, and couldn't help but close his mouth.

"The strength of Tianyun Mountain is slightly stronger than other mountains, the last time I heard about the alliance they formed, Tang Jing had the intention of becoming the leader of the alliance," Xu Yuanjin said, "This time he actually wanted to help us, could it be because he was co-opted by the people sent by Lao Yuan?" ”

"It is not ruled out that there is such a possible surname." Yang Shuoming said, "Anyway, if he really helped us, we should thank him well." ”

The two walked forward while talking, and soon, in front of a stone stone, Yang Shuoming saw a corpse with half of his body blackened and his clothes turned into strips of rags. Beside him, there were several bodies killed by shells and platoon shots.

Xu Yuanjin stepped forward and turned the deceased's face with his foot, and what caught Yang Shuoming's eyes was an ugly long face covered with pockmarks. At this time, this face was staring at two eyes with the whites of their eyes exposed, and there was a dead expression on their faces.

A security guard handed Xu Yuanjin and Yang Shuoming what they had found from the corpse to Xu Yuanjin and Yang Shuoming, which were a finely crafted smoking gun, a revolver, a pack of cigarettes, a crumpled letter of appointment, and a piece of colorful paper with numbers written on it.

Yang Shuoming took a closer look at the letter of appointment, and sure enough, it was written that Liu Wenxuan was appointed as the brigade commander, and it was also stamped with the big seal of the Yanjing War Department, and the shape and wording were no different from those blank letters of appointment that Yang Shuoming picked up in the cracks in the mountains.

"Look at this!" Xu Yuanjin handed over the colorful piece of paper with numbers written on it to Yang Shuoming, "20,000 yuan, they are really willing to pay for it!" ”

Yang Shuoming took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully, first stunned, and then laughed.

This piece of paper turned out to be a bank check in the name of the "Quartermaster Department of the Commander's Office" with an amount of 20,000 yuan.

"If you don't give this money, your Captain Xu will be the brigade commander." Yang Shuoming handed the check to Xu Yuanjin, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "The team brought up by your Captain Xu must be a hundred times stronger than someone like Liu Haozi." ”

"I'm actually quite optimistic about you." Xu Yuanjin waved his hand, did not take the check, but said to Yang Shuoming, "To be honest, it's only been a few months, look at the current appearance of our security team, can it still be said that it is a security team?" ”

Yang Shuoming didn't expect him to say this, and didn't know how to answer for a while, Xu Yuanjin looked at the military hat with a hole in the corner with pity, put it back on his head, and then patted Yang Shuoming's shoulder with a smile, turned around and jumped on his horse.

"There's nothing going on here, I'll take someone back to town first." Xu Yuanjin looked at Yang Shuoming, who was still a little stunned, and said with a smile, "Don't be busy running factories, opening mines, and building schools all day long, and practice your horse well." ”

Seeing the figures of Xu Yuanjin and the others disappear, Yang Shuoming looked at the boiling crowd around him who were helping to clean up the battlefield, then looked at the check in his hand, and nodded thoughtfully.

In the evening, Huang Yunzhi, who had prepared dinner, couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Yang Shuoming, who had been busy all day, still sitting at the table and writing hard and refusing to rest.

"What are you writing about?" Huang Yunzhi came to Yang Shuoming's side, put her hands on his shoulders gently, and asked softly.

"Give Captain Xu a brigade commander." Yang Shuoming smiled and handed the letterhead with the contents to his beloved wife.

Huang Yunzhi took the letterhead and looked at it carefully.

“…… More than 2,000 people, including former Tiemangshan bandits Liu Wenxuan, Yao Changkui, and He Changli, robbed [***] military uniforms and firearms, pretending to be your subordinates, raided and plundered the headquarters of the 'Renhe Company' and the salt mining area under it on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and fraudulently took over as a commander (referring to Zhang Jingyao) and came to take over. Fortunately, I saw through it, the cunning plan of the bandits failed, but they attacked brutally, and Ming and others led the company's guards and employees to open artillery bombardment, killing and injuring a large number of bandits. Captain Xu of the security team, Yuan Jin, led his troops to come to the aid in time, first broke the bandits who invaded the mining area, and then attacked with Ming and others inside and outside, and destroyed the bandits, killing a total of 763 bandits under Liu Wenxuan, the leader of the bandits, and rescuing 12 hostages. This time, the bandits dared to openly gather a large number of people to go down the mountain to harass, loot the mines, poison the localities, and disturb the people, all because the local counties and towns are located in a narrow area, and it is not easy to enter [***] to enter and go. I implore the commander to be open and honest and reassure the local security forces and militia groups into the 1st Brigade of the New Army for protection. Xu Yuanjin has been stationed in the local area for a long time, is very familiar with military affairs, and has fought with bandits many times, and asked to be appointed as a brigade commander. If he is appointed, Ming and others are willing to serve the country from now on, go to the soup and fire, and swear no hesitation. is honest, begging for marshal and inspector Li. The head of the bandit, Liu Wenxuan, was sent to the commander's office, and a letter of appointment and a check of 20,000 yuan from the quartermaster department were attached, which were returned to your office and brought back to the ...... by the soldiers of your unit."

"This letter is written softly on the surface, but there is a murderous intention inside, which not only expresses sincere attachment, but also implies a threat," Huang Yunzhi After reading the letter, a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes, "You who give heads and checks, you may really succeed if you use both soft and hard methods." ”

"In these days, ghosts are also afraid of wicked people, so he can't help Zhang Jingyao disobey." Yang Shuoming smiled, "I have already figured out the bottom of him and that Li Dudu, even if they don't obey and want to come here to provoke us, they can only end up with Liu Haozi." ”

Listening to Yang Shuoming's confident words, Huang Yunzhi was still a little worried. At this time, she didn't know that the reason why Yang Shuoming said this was not unfounded.

Soon after the end of the "Battle of Ganning", Yang Shuoming arranged for people to collect relevant battle reports and conduct summary analysis, and what surprised him was that although he had now entered the age of firearms, the "Battle of Ganning" These large and small battles still have too much flavor of the era of cold weapons.

In the first 20 years of the 20th century, China's warlords and their armies had not learned how to fight, nor did they want to fight, and their guns were the tools used to collect taxes and collect money. Don't look at many people sitting on heavy troops, the real combat effectiveness of these soldiers is extremely limited, even the bandits who gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests and the gangs in the city are not afraid of them, some warlords and even their fathers in their hometowns were kidnapped by bandits, and the first thing that came to mind was to obediently take money to ransom people, rather than send troops.

China's new-style army, which has not been around for a long time, has not been able to master and use modern weapons for a long time, and it is quite problematic to master and use them. Like the artillery does not shoot indirectly (the situation in the Navy is better), the machine gunners do not know how to troubleshoot simple problems. When many armies are fighting, the commander either rides a horse or sits on a sedan chair to the front line, carries the banner and directs the troops to rush forward, and if he can't rush up once, he will come back a few times, and after a few rounds, he will win if he crushes the opponent's formation, and if he can't rush, he can only turn his turn to rout, turn the horse's head or drop the eight sedan chairs to escape.

What's even worse is that the current Chinese soldiers, no matter which army, have very poor basic training, many people just know how to put guns, and most of them still have the habit of handing down from the Qing Dynasty, that is, they desperately put their guns when they engage in battle, and they don't aim. When the bullets are gone, and the enemy has not retreated, it is time to slip away. Such a level of warfare can almost be said to be inferior even in the Middle Ages.

In the Battle of Xianghukou, the battle between Li Chunbu and Lin Hubu under Li Liejun was that the two sides approached and then fired at each other with guns, comparing who on both sides had more bullets and Lin Hubu had fewer bullets, and the result was defeated. When the Beiyang Army attacked the west fort of Hukou Fortress, it actually used infantry to directly attack the fort, but it was attacked by Li Liejun's troops with artillery, and suffered heavy casualties.
