Not to mention, when Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi in Anshan City heard that the patrol battalion consumed one or two thousand rounds of ammunition every day in Songshuling, and the limited ammunition was about to be exhausted, and it was urgent to replenish it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Without thinking about it, he generously took out 10,000 rounds of ammunition and sent them to the Anshan patrol battalion.

Because, in the eyes of Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi, no matter how expensive the bullet is, it is not as expensive as the heroic Russian warrior.

As for the remaining 10,000 rounds of ammunition, when Liang Cheng proposed to buy it with silver, he immediately got the consent of Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi.

So, in less than a day, ten boxes of 20,000 rounds of ammunition were sent to the county government of Anshan County.

As for the grain and silver, they were left in the Anshan County Treasury and contained, and the county ordered Liang Cheng to take them whenever he wanted.

The ransom of a war horse is eighty taels, and the sum of more than a hundred war horses is ten thousand taels of silver.

In addition, the ransom of several hundred cold weapons and old-fashioned rifles was 2,000 taels, and the ransom of dozens of patrol battalion soldiers was 3,000 taels, a total of 15,000 taels of silver, and a whole cart was full.

Of course, in addition to silver and bullets, the most was the 20,000 catties of grain extorted by Yang Xingguo from Anshan County, which was loaded with ten carts.

Of course, the families of several patrol battalion officers, after getting the news that their families had been captured and that their families could only come back if they sent silver. Almost without thinking about it, he sent the silver to the county office......

In their opinion, as long as their families can come back safely and continue to serve as officers in the patrol battalion, they can get back the money they sent out for a maximum of two years. Therefore, they did not guard their silver without regard for the life and death of their families like Scrooge.

As a result, five sentinels, two pipe belts, and one commander directly exchanged Yang Xingguo for an income of 10,000 taels of silver.

Two days later, a transaction related to the future fate of Yangjiazhai began directly at the foot of the main peak of Songshuling.

Zhou Zhongju accepted the grain, silver, and bullets with a smile on his face. Dozens of prisoners of the patrol battalion, more than a hundred war horses, and piles of weapons and equipment like a mountain...... All of them were handed over by Yang Xingguo to Liang Cheng, the county commander who came to trade.

When Liang Cheng proposed that the remnants of the patrol battalion continue to garrison the foot of the main peak of Songshu Ridge, make an example for Lao Maozi and Shangguan outside the mountain, and add some new soldiers, so that the total strength of the patrol battalion reached 300 people after retreating.

Yang Xingguo, who already had enough food and weapons in his hands, did not refuse.

However, the county government of Anshan County paid a huge price of 20,000 catties of grain for this......

After this transaction, in the face of the mountains of food and ammunition in the cottage, Yang Xingguo, who already had a high reputation in the cottage, was already like a god in front of the bandits in the cottage.

No matter what Yang Xingguo says or decides, everyone will implement it cleanly and neatly without the slightest hesitation.

On the morning of the second day after the transaction was completed, in the face of sufficient supplies, Yang Xingguo directly made a very bold decision, that is, to expand the army. On the basis of the existing military strength of the cottage, the number of troops will be tripled.

Although Wang Hu has reached the point of blind trust in Yang Xingguo. However, when he heard Yang Xingguo's decision, he was still taken aback. Because, this news is too shocking for him.

However, before he could speak, Zhou Zhongju had already taken the lead to remind.

"Great boss, you have to be cautious...... Although the family foundation of our cottage is a lot stronger, it is not strong enough to blindly expand the army. Take the fast gun as an example, although fifty shots were captured this time, it only reached the level of one copycat......"

"If we expand the army now, then those new brothers we have recruited back will not have fast guns at all......"

Yang Xingguo did not give any answer to this question, but asked Zhou Zhongju with a serious face......

"Second uncle, answer me a few questions first...... First, with the existing grain stock of the cottage, if the cottage is expanded to 500 people, how long will the brothers be able to eat...... Second, how long will the money in the cottage be used by the brothers......"

It didn't take long for Zhou Zhongju to give Yang Xingguo an affirmative answer: "Big boss, the cottage now has a total of 70,000 catties of grain, and if 500 people eat it, they can eat it for at least four months......"

"As for the silver, according to the silver standard set by the big boss, the cottage is nearly 30,000 taels of silver, which is enough for five hundred people to use for a year and a half......"

Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo directly interrupted: "That's enough...... Brothers, now we have food and silver...... In addition, our agreement with the patrol battalion can provide us with at least a month's rest and training time...... Such a good opportunity is in front of us, if we don't take the opportunity to expand the army, do we have to wait for Lao Maozi to hit the door of our cottage and then expand the army......"

"As for the gun, I'll figure it out...... I promise, at most half a month, so that all the brothers have a quick gun available......"

"In addition, I also want to remind you that Lao Maozi will never give up on our Yangjiazhai...... From now on, we must do everything possible to increase the strength of the cottage and deal with the next round of heavy encirclement and suppression that Lao Maozi may launch against our cottage......"

At this time, there were no accidents, whether it was Wang Hu or Zhou Zhongju, they were persuaded by Yang Xingguo.

Facing the firm expression on Yang Xingguo's face, Wang Hu asked directly: "Big boss, what do you think ......?"

"According to Lao Maozi's establishment, the cottage has been expanded from a company to a battalion...... The new recruits and the two combat platoons were expanded into companies...... The guard squad became a guard platoon, the sharpshooter squad was expanded into a sniper platoon according to the situation, and the reconnaissance squad was also expanded into a reconnaissance platoon...... If possible, add another heavy fire platoon ......"

"At this level, we are short of almost three hundred recruits...... As for how these 300 recruits come, it depends on the second leader, Wang Hu...... Tomorrow morning, you take ten brothers and seven thousand taels of silver, secretly leave the cottage, and go to Anshan to recruit new soldiers. Send back every ten recruits, and never attract the attention of others......"

"Second uncle, you stay in the cottage and use my method to continue to train the remaining brothers in the cottage......"

"I'll take the guard squad and the sharpshooter squad, and bring another 10,000 taels of silver, and go to Lushun...... Some of Lushun were arms dealers from Lao Maozi and other foreigners...... As long as we have silver, we will be able to buy the fast guns we want......"

Although Yang Xingguo's decision was strongly opposed by the two people, under Yang Xingguo's repeated requests and insistence, the two subordinates had to agree to Yang Xingguo's decision to go to Lushun in person.

However, for the sake of safety, Wang Hu not only took out his Mauser pistol, but also equipped the two squads with Russian-made Mosin Nagant rifles, one rifle is equipped with 100 rounds of ammunition, which can be described as well-equipped......
