"You all listen to Lao Tzu, I don't care what your previous identity was, whether you know the party or the unemployed, now since you follow me, I will care about your fragrant food, spicy drink, and the monthly salary is also issued to you at the beginning of the month, although half of this month has passed, but Lao Tzu is still all paid to you according to full-term,......。 Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Qi Bo, do you tell them exactly what I wanted?"

"Battalion commander, I told them word for word as you said."

"Oh, although we can only pay the amount of silver according to the rules set by the rebel army headquarters, I, Shuai Hong, promise you here, as long as you go into battle to kill the enemy, and kill one and reward a piece of ocean, this money will be paid by our own battalion ,......。"

……

The rebel army in Zhenlong, Huizhou, began to be reorganized yesterday, and it took a day for Shuai Hong to get the framework of the fifth battalion up, and elected a temporary company and platoon squad leader, and the personnel under the jurisdiction of each squad and platoon company also completed the registration yesterday, and then, just last night, Shuai Hong invited more than 500 officers and soldiers of the whole battalion to eat and drink.

Of course, to buy people's hearts, everyone at the wine table hooks up shoulders and calls them brothers, but once they go to the training ground, the first thing Shuai Hong has to do is naturally to establish rules, as the so-called no rules are not a circle, the training ground is also a battlefield, and if the discipline of the team cannot be established, then it will never be able to form combat effectiveness.

For Shuai Hong's rules, the officers and soldiers of the entire fifth battalion are relatively respect-free, after all, the wine has been drunk, the meat has been eaten, and the silver has also been received, and more importantly, everyone got up early in the morning and received a brand-new rifle, and this rifle is far stronger than the old sleeve that Yue Weihua gave to Zheng Shiliang yesterday, the water bead rifle is much stronger, this is Lao Maozi's standard equipment, after all, it is a unit controlled by his own people, Yue Weihua naturally has to take care of it a little, of course, to equip Shuai Hong's team with water Lianzhu, The main reason is that Yue Weihua really can't hold so many old sleeves in his hands, but there are a lot of water bead rifles.

In addition, the temporary officers of the entire fifth battalion, from the company commander to the squad leader, were all equipped with a box gun, and even each company was equipped with a Makqin heavy machine gun.

Some eat, some drink, have money, and have awesome weapons and equipment, and even each person has received 50 rounds of ammunition, and they have to be given live ammunition practice, such a bullish commander, who can not be convinced, after all, because of Zheng Shiliang's care, the entire fifth battalion does not have any major parties, and basically all of them are soldiers from unemployed vagrants and peasants.

Therefore, Shuai Hong's rules were established very smoothly, so the training of the fifth battalion soon began.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

……

"What's going on, why did gunshots suddenly sound outside the town, could it be that the Qing army from the Tamsui side is attacking?"

Zhenlong, in the temporary headquarters of the rebel army, Zheng Shiliang, the commander of the rebel army, jumped up from the bed with a thud, because it was just dawning now, and last night he reorganized a battalion for his subordinate Zheng Shize, and he had to reorganize the guard company, and he also had to form an artillery company to make it late at night, so he woke up a little late today, but he didn't expect to be awakened by the sound of gunfire, and thought it was the Qing army from the Tamsui side.

In fact, not only Zheng Shiliang was awakened by the dense gunfire, but the officers and soldiers of the entire rebel army, except for the fifth battalion, all ran out in panic at this moment, and all kinds of riots instantly resounded in the town.

It wasn't until half an hour later that everyone figured out that it was the Fifth Battalion that was conducting shooting exercises outside the town, so many people from Commander Zheng Shiliang to ordinary soldiers came over to see the excitement, and when they saw that all the officers and men of the Fifth Battalion were conducting live-fire exercises in an "orderly" manner, everyone was stunned.

"Battalion Commander, where did you get your equipment?"

"Lose your mother, be generous."

"What kind of gun is this, I haven't seen it, I know when I hear the sound of the gun, I don't know how many times stronger than the burning stick in our hands."

……

All kinds of discussions came and went, and Zheng Shiliang, Huang Fu, Liu Gensheng, Tan Wei and other battalion-level and above officers surrounded Shuai Hong one by one, which made Shuai Hong feel face-ready, but he didn't know how to explain, it is a good thing to have weapons and equipment, but this source is not easy to say, of course, Zheng Shiliang and Liu Gensheng knew it well in the field, but fortunately, these two people helped each other, which allowed Shuai Hong to get out of the branch.

"Whew."

Watching everyone leave, Shuai Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to get up and go to the training ground, but Liu Gensheng went and returned, and said directly when they met: "Sir, sooner or later, our fourth battalion will also be the team of the Black Dragon Army, can't you favor one over the other?" ”

"Ahem." Shuai Hong was speechless for a moment, and was stunned before he said: "Battalion Commander Liu, you see, we are now serving in the rebel army, and it is best not to disclose your identity as a Black Dragon Army, so don't call me commander in the future, call me Shuai Battalion Commander, or Shuai Brother." ”

"Sir, you can let me call it anything, but you have also seen that the equipment of our four battalions is not very good, you drink wine and eat meat, and I will drink some soup in general." Liu Gensheng said bluntly, what should be fought for must be fought for, after all, the next step is to go south to fight Guangzhou, this way is a tough battle, the quality of weapons and equipment, but it can decide the lives of many soldiers.

"Lao Liu, look, my identity is because Commander Zheng knows it, so our five battalions can get some good equipment, he can turn a blind eye, and even help cover up, but if your four battalions also get good equipment, then your identity will not be directly exposed, in this way, two of the five battalions of the entire rebel army can be regarded as the Black Dragon Army, and when the time comes, the commander-in-chief may have other ideas." Shuai Hong explained.

"There's some truth to what you're saying." Liu Gensheng thought for a while before he continued: "Since this is the case, I won't say more, but yesterday Commander Zheng just got 900 guns, and each battalion must be able to divide points, and your battalion should also have a share, but now that it is so exposed, Commander Zheng is estimated that it will not be assigned to you, but if you go for it, how much should you be able to divide it, and when the time comes, the assigned and the equipment that your battalion has replaced, will secretly give us four battalions, this request, is not too much?" ”

"Of course, it's okay to give the equipment that the soldiers have eliminated to your battalion, but let me fight for that bit of equipment, it's not easy to speak." Shuai Hong was a little embarrassed.

"What's so hard to say, you, you're used to living a rich life, and you don't know how to live a poor life." Liu Gensheng looked serious, and then said: "Brother Shuai, don't you want to think about how many people there were when our team was pulled up, how long has it been, and now there are more than 3,000 people, if we can fight all the way to Guangzhou, I am sure that our team will at least expand by tens of thousands of people, or even more, at that time, think about it, don't our battalions have to continue to expand, and how many weapons will be needed at that time, so ah, we have to take precautions." ”

"Wouldn't it be too exaggerated, if you hit Guangzhou, you can grow to more than 10,000 people?"

Shuai Hong didn't understand a little, after all, the Black Dragon Army has developed fast enough, but it is far from being so exaggerated, of course, if you think about it, you can actually understand it, because the rebel army does not refuse to come, as long as you join, the rebel army wants, and almost no training, directly to the battlefield, which of course cannot be compared with the Black Dragon Army.

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Liu Gensheng said solemnly.

Shuai Hong thought about it, and didn't want to dwell on this issue, but let him fight for that bit of weapon, Shuai Hong really couldn't pull this face, so he muttered for a long time before he said: "That's it, Commander Zheng has it there, but once you encounter a tough battle, I will secretly balance your two Makqin, and in a few days, I will tell the headquarters about your situation, and see how the headquarters arranges, what do you think?" ”

Shuai Hong's words are all said on this, Liu Gensheng naturally has nothing to say, and the two Makqin are evenly combined, can he still return it, with two Makqin as a heavy firepower supplement, it will not be much less powerful than one or two hundred guns, besides, Shuai Hong also promised to apply to the headquarters for him, what else can Liu Gensheng say.

"Okay, let's not mention the equipment for the time being, but, handsome brother, you have to borrow me personally to train the fourth battalion for me, you also know, I have not led soldiers, and there are no talents under my hands who have led soldiers, this training thing is really not good, so, this favor, you have to help me no matter what." Liu Gensheng pleaded.

Liu Gensheng has such a mouth, Shuai Hong is really embarrassed, after all, a total of four soldiers from the Black Dragon Army came over, among which Li Gen has already gone to the artillery company, and there are only three people left, all three of whom were directly appointed as company commanders, and Shuai Hong himself is also the company commander of a company, and now he has to transfer another person, which is not easy to fix.

"Sir, the fourth battalion is also the team of the Black Dragon Army, there is no insider, how can the fourth battalion really become a powerful team, besides, I will not treat him badly, I let him directly serve as the company commander of a company, and at the same time the deputy battalion commander, what do you think?" Liu Gensheng spoke again.

"Okay, I'll ask Xie Xuan to help you." Shuai Hong said helplessly.

……

Tamsui Town.

Tamsui Town, located a hundred miles north of Zhenlong, is the rebel army to the direction of Fuzhou must pass through, here the commander of the Qing army (equivalent to the Xiedutong, brigade commander) Ma Wei was ordered by the land governor of Guangdong Deng Wanlin, personally led ten battalions of soldiers and horses to build fortifications again, ready to block the rebel army.

"Damn, the spies in the direction of Zhenlong, why haven't they reported back yet?"

The commander Ma Wei is about forty years old, a typical southerner, short in stature, wearing a military general's official robe on his body looks extremely wide, coupled with the restless at the moment, walking back and forth, like a monkey wearing an official robe, it looks quite funny.

"Your Excellency, the distance between Zhenlong and Tamsui is more than one hundred and thirty miles, and the spies have to reconnoiter and return, and it may be a little difficult to rush back in one day and one night, but I don't think you need to worry about two or three thousand rebels." Joining the army, Lee Hsien Loong arched his hand.

After all, Ma Wei led ten battalions of soldiers and horses, and nearly 5,000 people were stationed in Tamsui two days in advance, waiting for work, while the rebel army was only two or three thousand men and horses, and it was still a rabble with cold weapons, so naturally they would not be taken seriously.

"Hmph, Lee Hsien Loong, don't blame me for not reminding you, if anyone dares to underestimate the rebels, they will not be far from death." Ma Wei snorted coldly: "The land of Guangdong, it is not the same as the north, the party is prevalent here, and the control of speech is far less than that of the north, as long as a few revolutionary parties release some anti-Qing remarks, there will be a large number of party responses, what is the party, they are all hooligans, outlaws, many members have guns in their hands, some people have lives, these guys are desperate, their combat effectiveness may not be weaker than the Qing army." ”

Mawich is a native of Cantonese, and he is clear about the affairs of the party, but Lee Hsien Loong, who joined the army, is the third generation of officials who came from the north to gild, if it were not for his background, Mavic would have to blast Lee Hsien Loong out, how could he explain so much.

Mavic's cold face made Lee Hsien Loong's face very ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything, just arched his hand and retreated to his seat, but in his heart he hated Mavic.

Ma Wei looked at Lee Hsien Loong's expression, and knew that he had offended this Li family son, and suddenly felt a little inappropriate in his heart, after all, the Li family was too powerful, but Ma Wei was also a donkey, and the slightest inappropriate thoughts quickly passed, and then he began to arrange various camp defense areas, announce various regulations, and so on.

"Report."

Just as Mavic was about to call the meeting to a conclusion, the spies finally returned.

"Say."

"Tell the commander, the rebels have captured Zhenlong two days ago, and Du Fengwu, the defender of Zhenlong, was captured alive and the whole army was annihilated." The spy said loudly.

"It actually took Zhenlong two days ago, which means that Du Fengwu couldn't hold on for even a day?" Mavic asked.

"Tell the commander, according to the people in the town, the rebels took Zhenlong almost effortlessly, and it only took ten minutes to take Zhenlong, and it was also said that the rebels had cannons, and the city wall was blown down with just a few cannons, and the power of the opponent's firepower was even more unheard of." The spy said.

"Artillery? Still powerful? Hearing this, Mavic looked skeptical and said, "Is the news true?" ”

"The lowly ranks are scattered in the town, and no less than 100 people have been questioned, and even those rebels have been indirectly questioned, according to the analysis of the lowly ranks, I am afraid that more than ninety percent of this matter is true,......。"

"Bold, dare to talk nonsense like this again, disturbing the morale of the army, you shouldn't have secretly defected to the rebel army, right?" Lee Hsien Loong suddenly jumped out, directly interrupted the spies' report, and accused: "Come on, drag this person out, behead ......." ”

"That's enough." Ma Wei shouted angrily: "Lee Hsien Loong, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, Lao Tzu is the biggest here, and he is less here to score for Lao Tzu, hum." ”

"Horse Commander ,......"

"I've said enough." Mavic glared at Lee Hsien Loong again before he said to the spies: "Where are the rebels now, and what is the scale?" ”

"Yu, Yu, Lord Yu, rebels, rebels, rebels, still in Zhenlong, is, in place to reorganize." The spy was so frightened that he almost ran out of pee.

"Okay, you go back and rest first, and I'll ask the clerk to take credit for you when I get back."

"Wow."
