Chapter Eighty-Six: Before the Expedition Military Reorganization
Yu Xiang decided to make a big move, in the troubled times, whoever mastered the force had the right to speak, which is the same as the power coming out of the barrel of a gun. Originally, the recruits of Xincun belonged to the rank of Qianzong, and now Yu Xiang decided to establish a guard army.
First of all, the recruits of Xincun were renamed Henan New Guard, which is quite a modern military establishment of an army, and Yu Xiang served as the chief soldier, which is quite at the level of the current army commander. The Red Lady served as a deputy general, from the second rank of military attaché. Qi Dayong, Liu Guoneng, and Jia Binjiu were respectively appointed as generals, equivalent to the current division commander level, and they are third-rank military attachés. Pray for Dayong to train recruits, and Liu Guoneng will lead troops to fight. Of course, these official positions are now fictitious, and the actual positions have to wait for Yu Xiang to play the emperor, and they can only take effect after being approved by the emperor Zhu.
Zhuge Shanzhen was promoted to guerrilla general, and the original special battalion was renamed the Special Forces Corps. Nowadays, the special forces corps, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and those who are willing to join the army among the disciples of the martial arts giants have been incorporated into the special forces corps, such as the invincible Xinshu of the Huashan faction, Huang Zhen of the copper pen and iron abacus, the master of the Shaolin faction, the master of the Admiralty Iron Cloth Zhenguan, the Wudang faction gossip god Li Shouren, the chief of the broken sermon Zhang Yuan, etc., these people were originally famous martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes, and they also had disciples of their own, all of whom were strong in martial arts and had excellent understanding, and now, they are willing to enlist in the army as ordinary soldiersAfter enlisting in the army, Qi Dayong carried out a surprise fire on them. Gun shooting training, most of these people are masters of hidden weapons, such small hidden weapons can be used in their hands, and now they have been replaced by fire. Guns, that is even more like a tiger wings, they almost in just one day, they have mastered the essentials of shooting, all of them are like gods, 100 shots, after all, pulling the trigger is much easier than they shake their hands to dart, the steel gun to their hands, it has become a shocking artifact. They are all-encompassing, and according to the characteristics of bayonets, combined with their own martial arts, they have practiced unexpected results. They have fire. As a weapon, the gun is like a tiger with wings, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
In order to train their team combat ability, they were trained in the Mandarin Duck Array, what is unexpected is that these people can quickly grasp the essentials, the teamwork ability is excellent, and they are not as imagined, they are fighting separately, scattered and uninhibited, the Mandarin Duck Array composed of them, the power has increased greatly, it can really be described as a murderous chariot, invincible.
Not only that, but the special forces also selected soldiers with top-notch individual skills from the recruit team, such as Zhu Yitang and Zhao Xiao, who made great achievements in the Battle of Loess Gang, and more than 50 marksmen joined the special forces corps.
Jia Binjiu's original intelligence station was renamed the intelligence team, and the intelligence team is also full of talents, and its strength should not be underestimated. Shaolin Temple, Emei faction and Wudang faction some senior monks or high Taoists, unwilling to join the special forces, have joined Jia Binjiu's intelligence group, the intelligence group is relatively free, flexible and flexible, it is these martial arts celebrities who voluntarily provide intelligence for the intelligence group, such as the Emei faction of the Ran Shitai, Shaolin abbot Kongkong monk, Huashan faction Mu Renqing and so on They are all volunteers of the intelligence group, these people's disciples are all over the place, mixed in the crowd, walking between the mountains and rivers, the information provided by them is more accurate and timely. The regular army led by Jia Binjiu did not collect information at night, and only needed to concentrate information everywhere, sort it out, and then pass it on to the higher level. Jia Binjiu also figured out a special set of intelligence code words, which are easy to remember and facilitate better transmission of information and concealment of identity.
More than 1,000 soldiers who have been trained in Xincun and more than 2,000 garrisons in Xinyang Mansion formed the New Guard Expeditionary Force, which was handed over to Liu Guoneng to rehearse the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Qi Family Army in the Xinyang Mansion School Field. Guns, spears with pure steel tips.
The original government garrison was disrupted and scattered into the new guard to avoid them from passively grouping, these people are now at the same starting point as the new guard, these people are all soldiers, most of them are veterans, and it is not easy to bring. After military training, they know that the New Guards have strict military discipline and are much more difficult than before, but they also know that there are many opportunities in the New Guards, and the military salary is paid in full, and they will no longer live without a meal as before, and there is no one to support their wives and children at home, so their enthusiasm has been stimulated, after all, they have undergone formal training, and some of them are still coarse in writing and ink, and they quickly became top-notch soldiers in the New Guard, and many people were promoted to captains, flag commanders and hundred generals, these people rely on their personal ability, the sleek way of doing things, quickly integrated into the new guard, which greatly surprised Yu Xiang.
Qi Dayong was responsible for recruiting and training new recruits to form the New Guards, whose main task was to guard the main strongholds and provide a reserve for the expeditionary forces at any time.
As soon as the conscription notice was posted, everyone actively joined the army, at the conscription scene in Dongshuanghe Town, the scene was extremely hot, parents sent their sons, wives sent their husbands to enlist in the army, the grand occasion was unprecedented, refugees from all over the country heard the news, gathered in Dongshuanghe Town, and asked to join the army, and the team that signed up for the army lined up for several miles, which can really be described as a sea of people.
A lot of Qian is now a squad leader, wearing a military uniform in Xincun, looking very energetic, and he is responsible for maintaining order at the recruitment site.
He saw a commotion in the queue, and when he looked at it recently, it turned out to be an old man with gray hair and a young man with an honest and honest appearance squeezing forward, and the person in front of him stopped doing it, reasoning with him.
A lot of money rushed over, and said to him unkindly: "Queue up to register, if not, please go back!" ”
The old man was busy with a smile on his face, and said to a lot of money: "This military master, I am an acquaintance of Xincun, matchmaker Zhang is my mother's family, Mu Xiaoer is my future aunt, please be accommodating, let my family Zhang Youliang sign up for the army, we also want to contribute to Xincun." ”
When Qian heard that the old man was mentioning, the people were all famous people in the new village, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said to him: "You have a good life here and line up, and I will come when I go." ”
A lot of money found the red lady and explained the situation. As soon as the red lady heard it, she knew that this person was Uncle Zhang, and recently Uncle Zhang came to Xincun many times, begging the matchmaker Zhang to propose marriage to the bald, but the bald egg already liked someone, and said that he agreed, but he didn't expect Uncle Zhang to send his son to be a soldier again.
The red lady had to do business, and said to a lot of money: "As long as the soldier is not the only child in the family, no more than forty years old, no children under the age of five, and is healthy, let him line up patiently, he will definitely be able to become a soldier." ”
A lot of money is also clever, seeing that the red lady said this, he told Uncle Zhang truthfully, Uncle Zhang listened, his heart was down-to-earth, and he took Zhang Youliang to line up in a proper manner, he himself never thought that this Zhang Youliang was really promising, and later became a great hero.
The Red Lady is at the recruitment site of the 500 Women's Army, and these female soldiers will serve as logistics service personnel of the army. Women serving as soldiers is still a new thing at the moment, in this era, girls are not allowed to show their heads, how can anyone be a soldier? Therefore, the source of recruitment of female soldiers is mainly refugees who have fled the famine, and there is no way to live, and many of these people have children, just imagine, if it were not for orphans and widows, they might have been sold into slavery, or they might have been sold into brothels, how could they not find a way to live. To this end, a special nursery has been set up in the new village, where the girls' children can be fostered and they can visit the nursery regularly.
Many refugee women enthusiastically signed up, especially those orphans and widows, who cherished this opportunity very much, and in the long line, many women lined up with their children dressed in tatters, and the children hid behind their mothers with innocent research in their eyes, looking at the red lady who came to inspect.
The red lady watched these children line up, her heart was touched, she said to everyone, let the women with children register first, these women thanked again and again, stood in a row, someone specially registered for them, after registration, arranged them into a room, and provided them with some food.
The red lady also saw Liu Danzhen and his entourage of forty-seven women in the team, these people were originally Miss Qianjin, everyone was beautiful, after they were rescued, they were comprehensively examined by Wu Youxing, for several pregnant women, Wu Youxing prescribed abortion pills, and now they are recovering.
Two days ago, Liu Danzhen found the red lady and asked to join the army. Yu Xiang considered that she was a weak woman, and Liu Danzhen was the main actor of "The Story of Brightness", so he persuaded them to wait for the time being, and then make a decision after thinking about it.
The red lady looked at Liu Danzhen, her heart was very complicated, Liu Danzhen did not shy away from the red lady's eyes, and silently gave a salute to the red lady, and the red lady returned the salute slightly, which was regarded as a greeting, and did not say anything.
What makes the red lady curious is that she saw another girl in the crowd, that is, Xu Lianhua, the fiancée of many waters, seeing Xu Lianhua's resolute and determined expression, the red lady didn't say anything, she sincerely admired this girl, this girl was close to an ascetic, nostalgic for her deceased lover, and the red lady had a lot of good feelings for Xu Lianhua.
In the area under the jurisdiction of Xinyang Prefecture, the "Special Law in Wartime" was implemented with great fanfare.
Yu Xiang's defeat of Zhang Xianzhong is well known to the locals, and Zhang Yuanwai's violent resistance to the law was punished on the spot, and Li Qiankun's lack of cooperation and almost his death is even more well-known, and the poor serfs everywhere know that the natural disaster has been decided, and everyone is looking forward to the opportunity to have a new village every day, so as soon as the official document is written, everyone immediately responds enthusiastically. The "Special Law in Wartime" in the Xinyang area was implemented very successfully.
Xinyang Prefecture has concentrated all its manpower and material resources to focus on disaster relief close to water sources, and Xincun has rushed to build hundreds of water trucks and opened canals to divert water, so that one-third of the crops have been irrigated in a timely manner, and the drought relief work has been carried out very smoothly. If nothing else, after the autumn harvest, the local area can barely protect itself, and there will be no terrible scene of starvation and hunger people flocking to revolt in the wilderness.
Chen Zhenhao, as the governor, quickly summoned the nearby prefects of Nanyang, Zhumadian, Luohe, Zhoukou, Pingdingshan, etc., and mobilized them to take advantage of this opportunity to implement the "Wartime Special Law", these prefects are very yearning for this, after all, they are short of money and food, and they have had enough of the days of fear, Xinyang's approach is undoubtedly like a ray of sunshine, penetrating the dark clouds, bringing them hope, but they have raised questions about how to establish credit cooperatives and how to ensure the connection and smooth operation of all links, in addition, for those big landlords, the great gentry, they confessed that they did not have the courage and ability to move them.
Yu Xiang understood this, but asked them to carry out propaganda after they returned, and in addition, select outstanding personnel from the Xincun Credit Cooperative, and go back with them to prepare for the establishment of credit cooperative branches in various places.
For some local governments that are far away, they will be informed by means of documents, so that they can learn from the model of new villages to fight drought and provide disaster relief. Outside of Xinyang, this model of disaster relief has been implemented very slowly, but some large non-governmental villages, such as villages with a family surname, are easy to unite and fight drought together, using the "Special Law in Wartime" as a basis, drawing on the Xincun model, and taking the initiative to concentrate manpower and material resources to carry out drought relief and disaster relief, and have achieved very good results.
Yu Xiang decided to set up four refugee reception points in Xinyang, Pingdingshan, Anyang and Shangqiu. There is no doubt that Xinyang set up a refugee camp, which is Yu Xiang's base camp and revolutionary base area, using refugees to train the army and replenish the source of soldiers. The camps were set up in Pingdingshan and Anyang because of the abundance of coal and iron ore, and the cheap labor resources of the refugees were used to dig coal, mine and make iron. Set up a refugee camp in Shangqiu, because Shangqiu is rich in high-quality coal, and is known as the "granary of eastern Henan", where the wind and rain are smooth, and the water resources are abundant, and the refugee camp is set up here, and the refugees can be used to open up wasteland and reclaim land, and make every effort to ensure food production, so as to prepare for the continuation of the drought in the coming year, and also use Shangqiu as a springboard to implement the plan for the southward migration of northerners.
The refugee camp set up by Yu Xiang helped refugees on the one hand to prevent them from becoming bandits; On the other hand, by making use of the cheap labor of refugees, digging coal and mining, and developing farmland and water conservancy, we can not only settle the displaced people, but also give full play to the advantages of human resources to develop the coal and steel industries. These are the cornerstones of the future industry and the core resources of Yuxiang Zhongxing Daming.
If the refugees are not well settled, they will become a huge destructive force in society, and if they are well settled, they will become huge productive forces.
Sheng Ying, Li Gang and A Niu, as the governor's envoys, were sent to Shangqiu, Pingdingshan and Anyang respectively to prepare for the construction of refugee camps.
Yu Xiang decided to personally lead the expeditionary force and personally patrol the entire territory of Henan to fight the bandits and bullies in the territory, the king of the mountain, the remnants of the rebel army, and solve the food problem in the refugee camp.
The night before the expedition, the red lady stayed in Yu Xiang's room! The two lingered all night, tossing for most of the night before falling asleep.
But Yu Xiang went on the expedition, and the red lady still had a lot of things to do, and she had to get up early in the morning to be busy.
The red lady sat up, dizzy, the dizziness in the dark last night didn't seem to have passed, her body was soft cotton, she didn't have any strength, and she didn't want to move. Thinking of the feeling of last night, the pretty face is hot, it turns out that the things of men and women can make people want to die like this, as if the bones are flying into the sky, and the numb inches are broken, which makes people have endless aftertastes, and they fall in love with this feeling more and more.
Looking at Yu Xiang, who was still sleeping next to him, he didn't expect that he, who was usually quiet and elegant, would actually be like a reckless cow when he started doing that, and he almost fainted himself several times.
The red lady put on a thin quilt for Yu Xiang, quietly got out of bed by herself, and quietly opened the door and left the house.
