No one can rely on it, so rely on yourself! Just because he is a weak scholar and does not have a single soldier in his hands, these people dare to bully. Yao Zongfa was bored at home for two days and finally understood. He recruited several veterans to serve as instructors, and appointed his brother, who had only studied at the Baoding Military Academy for half a year, as the captain of the Self-Defense Forces, to recruit troops and build up arms.

It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the Self-Defense Forces, under his various fund-raising plans, had just gained a little scale, and the Japanese devils called. So, Yao Zongfa had no choice but to follow the orders from above and take the Self-Defense Forces to hide in this big reed swinger called Black Rock Beach, preparing to fight guerrilla warfare with the devils.

The boat shook gently, and out of the canopy came a woman in her thirties, with a thin pink and white complexion, a thin nose bridge, a pointed chin, a slightly upturned mouth, and a pair of big eyes.

"Zongfa, why don't you sleep yet? Aren't you going to the city tomorrow! Song Shuhua said softly, naturally putting her hand on Yao Zongfa's shoulder.

Yao Zongfa patted his wife's hand lightly and said slowly: "I can't sleep, this thing came too suddenly, and it always makes people feel unsteady." ”

Song Shuhua pondered for a moment and said, "It's really a bit sudden. However, didn't you send Liu Liang out a long time ago, he should have observed it very carefully. Since the letter is optimistic, there should be no surprises. ”

"Accidents? I'm not too worried. Yao Zongfa sighed softly and said, "I'm only worried that this Yang Tianfeng wants to treat me as a puppet and help him dominate the county with the order of the county government." Wang Jinqing has been killed by him, Yan Baocai has also been pinched by him, and now the Yang family is already the most powerful armed force in Vortex Yang. ”

"What then?" Although Song Shuhua didn't want to live a wandering life anymore, her worries about her husband still occupied the main thoughts.

Yao Zongfa pretended to smile and comforted his wife: "The city must be entered, and I, the county magistrate, can't hide in the reeds all the time!" He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, and the elder of the sect is helping to lin, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Song Shuhua is a woman in the end, even if she is a college student, she is not good at this intrigue. When she heard that she could enter the city on time, she was naturally happy. The couple talked for a while before entering the boat to rest.

……………

The dark earth was immersed in silence and darkness, the sky began to shine with a hazy light, and in the struggle between day and night, the night began to curl up and retreat.

After breakfast, several energetic and energetic students came to Yang Tianfeng, and he had to put on a sanctimonious appearance and put his energy into work.

"Grain? Well, a lot of them have been seized, but there are other ways to do it. Yang Tianfeng looked at the plan prepared by the hot-blooded young man overnight, put forward his own suggestion, and said: "A tea party will be held at noon, and in my name, I will gather the gentry and big families in the city to participate, and find a way to squeeze some out of them." ”

"The sign of the Disaster Relief Committee was hung up, but very few people came to donate. Now we can only take care of the county seat, and the victims outside the city don't know what to do? Wang Zhishang said with a worried face.

"Voluntary donations, many people don't have this awareness, and they are not so kind." Yang Tianfeng lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and said in a deep voice: "The county magistrate entered the city at noon today, and I don't know how much money he has. Forget it, let's survive these two or three days! ”

After speaking, he took a pen and paper, wrote an order, handed it to Wang Zhishang, and said, "You go to the warehouse to get another 1,000 catties of grain." By the way, what are the victims doing? Just stay like that? ”

"There is a flood outside the city, and the land cannot be planted, so what can they do if they don't stay?" Feng Deguang asked puzzled.

Yang Tianfeng shook his head lightly and said, "There's always something to do!" For example, sweeping the streets, digging drainage ditches, building a few more toilets in the city, going to temporary docks to carry work, and joining the army. I can't say that the old and the young, the sick and the disabled, and those young and middle-aged people are also idle, and I can't feel comfortable no matter how I look at it. Fight disasters and save yourself, if you don't do it yourself, will God save them? ”

"Chief Yang is right, the more idle people are, the lazier they are, and the more dull they are, the more lifeless they are, to make them move." Wang Zhishang nodded approvingly.

"The county magistrate entered the city at noon today, do we need to arrange it in advance?" Su Tong, who was wearing glasses, said tentatively: "Make a good impression on him, if our disaster relief committee can't get his support, I'm afraid—"

"You don't have to worry about that." Yang Tianfeng smiled disappreciatively: "It's good to do work first and accumulate some experience." If he doesn't use you, you will go out of the city with me, there are many victims in Qulong Town, I ask him for the position of district head, how can he not refuse! Besides, if he only pays attention to the superficial form, he is not a good official, and we are too lazy to serve him! ”

"The balance between civil and military affairs is the key to governance." Wang Zhishang was the most calm among these people, for fear that Yang Tianfeng would be too strong and stiffen the relationship with the county magistrate, so he persuaded euphemistically: "Chief Yang broke the enemy Kecheng, and naturally he made great contributions. But the county magistrate was able to stay in the occupied area and persist in the war of resistance, and he also had a heart of loyalty. At present, the great enemy, in the years of war, sincere unity can be successful! ”

Yang Tianfeng smiled and said: "Breaking the enemy and conquering the city, this is a great achievement, but it is not worth being proud of killing dozens of devils." If the county magistrate is a good one, I am naturally willing to cooperate with him. If it's, hehe, then I'll make another plan. ”

"Reciprocating with a peach, Chief Yang is not too much." Feng Deguang is relatively straightforward, and he understands Yang Tianfeng's attitude of staying at peace and leaving if he is not in harmony.

"Alright, you guys get busy!" Yang Tianfeng got up to see off the guests and encouraged: "This plan is very good, it can be seen that you have put a lot of thought into it, but the most important thing is to implement it." If you have any difficulties, come to me, and I will do my best to help. ”

After sending off a few young people, Yang Tianfeng mounted his horse and, accompanied by the guards, went to the barracks. He did not want to interfere too much in civil affairs, and he still paid attention to military construction.

In the barracks, hundreds of soldiers who had undergone Yang Tianfeng's rigorous training for more than a month stood neatly and solemnly, waiting for Yang Tianfeng's arrival.

As the saying goes: a soldier bears a bear, and a nest of bears will be born. Yang Tianfeng thinks this sentence is very reasonable, as the foreign proverb says, a flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep.

Stilwell once made a general observation about all levels of the national army: ordinary soldiers are docile, disciplined, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and obey the leadership; Junior officers are quick to carry out orders; The individual commanders of the battalion and regiment are very different, but there are also excellent people; As for the division commanders and corps commanders, it is a big problem.

Jiang ZS also had a similar view, and on many occasions openly criticized the knowledge, ability, and spirit of the generals of the Kuomintang Army, which were inversely proportional to the level of their positions.
