Chapter 24 He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world
Received the news that Feicheng was captured by Yang Poyu, Wang Jundao did not stay in Xintai County longer, he left Xiang Zilong to lead the third company to sit in Xintai County, recruit troops, and then take the Tiger Regiment to the west, when passing through Tai'an, he incorporated the 1,500 patrol battalion soldiers who had been trained for ten days in Tai'an City into the Tiger Regiment, and then personally led more than 2,000 soldiers of the Tiger Regiment and nearly 1,000 logistics teams to Feicheng.
Half a day later, the Tiger Ben Regiment arrived in Feicheng, converged with Yang Poyu's first company, rested for half a day, the Tiger Ben Regiment once again showed its Tiger Ben fangs, divided the troops into three routes, one route led by Kangding North, took Pingyin County, one route led by Li Jinglin, took Dongping County, and one route was led by Wang Jundao himself, crossed the Yellow River, and took Dong'e County.
A day later, under the surprise attack of the Tiger Bun Regiment, the lax defense of Pingyin, Dongping, and Dong'e counties changed hands.
Two days later, the county seat of the three counties was stable, and Wang Jundao then issued an order, with Yang Poyu leading the first company to sit in Dong'e County north of the Yellow River, Kangding to lead the fourth company to sit in Dongping County in the southwest, and Pingyin County to be in charge of Li Jinglin's fifth company.
On 21 March, Wang Jundao personally led the more than 1,000 elite soldiers of the patrol battalions of the three counties, and the more than 1,000 elite soldiers of the patrol battalions of Laiwu County, Xintai County, and Feicheng County, plus the more than 1,500 elite soldiers of the patrol battalion brought out of Tai'an City, a total of more than 3,500 soldiers returned to Tai'an City.
On 22 March, Wang Jundao issued an order to five combat companies in various counties of Tai'an Province to form the Tiger Ben Army, which has under its jurisdiction five combat regiments, a guard regiment, a baggage engineering regiment, a special operations company, a guidance company, and a logistics department, with an upper limit of 5,000 in each regiment, 300 in the special operations company, and 300 in the guidance company.
The army commander and chief of staff are naturally served by Wang Jundao himself, the left political officer Cui Jingluo, the right political officer Bai Yuncheng, all logistics affairs in the army are temporarily in charge of the right political officer Bai Yuncheng, and the chief instructor of martial arts is Li Shuwen.
Yang Poyu, commander of the first regiment, Xu Jian, commander of the second regiment, Xiang Zilong, commander of the third regiment, Kang Dingguo, commander of the fourth regiment, Li Jinglin, commander of the fifth regiment, Wang Jundao, head of the guard regiment, Lei Ba, deputy commander, Wang Jundao, commander of the baggage engineering regiment, Tang Jian, commander of the special operations company, Wang Jundao, commander of the guidance company, and Bai Yuncheng as the director of the logistics department.
And Wang Jundao, who pocketed all the counties and villages in Tai'an Prefecture, made a lot of money, and the county treasury plus the property obtained by overthrowing corrupt officials, landlords, local tyrants, evil households, and evil businessmen from all over the country, he received a total of more than 1.2 million taels of gold, more than 22 million taels of silver, and more than 500,000 taels of jewelry, plus the rest of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, food materials, weapons and ammunition, etc., which also shocked Wang Jundao beyond measure, and had to sigh, wealth is in the people.
Wang Jundao can probably figure out the reason, these local tyrants and villains, all of them are local emperors, and they have been exploiting the common people for several generations or even more than ten generations, of course, they are rich, and now that Wang Jundao has defeated them, of course it is his turn to be rich.
At the same time, Wang Jundao's Yanhuang Commercial Group also began to take root in various parts of Tai'an Province, rapidly expanding factories and recruiting and training workers on the basis of the original landlords and bad businessmen's mansions and industries, recruiting and training workers, and at the same time launching various products to earn profits. Of course, today's Yanhuang Group is seriously unable to make ends meet, but it doesn't matter, because Wang Jundao now has private gold reserves of more than 1.2 million taels, private silver more than 10 million taels, and jewelry worth 500,000 taels of gold, antiques and paintings of inestimable value. He won't use gold and antiques, but silver and jewelry are the most tangible funds, and with so much money, he can expand the factory unscrupulously, train workers, research products, and invest in the long term......
To put it simply, he is now a nouveau riche, but he is also a nouveau riche who is deeply admired by the people, who asked him to distribute most of the land occupied by landlords and tyrants to all poor people? Who asked him to distribute a lot of grain from the landlords and tyrants to the common people free of charge? Who exempted him from the agricultural tax of the common people? Who asked him to open five-year primary schools with compulsory education in various towns and villages? What about allowing the children of ordinary people to go to school for free? Who asked him to expand the factory to recruit ordinary people to train as workers, and pay them before they even started?
The people who benefited greatly were grateful to Wang Jundao for a while, and they let the sturdy men in the family join the Tiger Army and join the army and the militia.
Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
On April 1, the base camp of the Tiger Ben Army was initially completed at the foot of Mount Tai, the honor of the Five Mountains, and Wang Jundao's Huaxia Military School and Huaxia Political School were also preliminarily completed at the foot of Mount Tai. And the Huaxia Encyclopedia School also relied on the respect of the five mountains to rise quickly.
The principals of the three schools are Wang Jundao himself, and the teachers of the school recruit knowledgeable people from all over Tai'an Province, of course, even if there are knowledgeable people, they must meet Wang Jundao's requirements, especially the Huaxia Military School and the Huaxia Political School, which can not be sloppy, because the recruitment is too strict, only a small number of people have been recruited, most of these people have been over fifty years, they are all well-educated people, some have been generals in the army, some have been high-ranking officials in the officialdom, and some people are not willing to serve Wang Jundao, Wang Jundao directly tied them up.
As for how to train these tough old guys, although Wang Jundao doesn't have time, he has someone - Chen Bo Chen Shijun. With Chen Shijun here, he was not afraid that these people would not listen to him at all.
Wang Jundao didn't let these people immediately become teachers to teach students, because he also wanted Chen Shijun to train these people according to his own training plan, mainly to let them teach with their own ideas, instead of the old feudal methods, and at the same time, let these people spread their will, he didn't want these people to hand over a lot of people who opposed him.
Now he does not want opposing voices, but to read talents, read talents thoroughly, so that he can develop better and faster, in order to make China rise more rapidly, in order not to be bullied by the Western powers, if there are opposing voices, then his policies and will will be disrupted.
Due to the convening of most of the skilled craftsmen under the Tai'an Prefecture, plus the craftsmen in the weapons workshops in the former Tai'an area and the famous blacksmiths in various places, and the general guidance of Wang Jundao's technology and strategy, under the implementation of Cui Jingluo, the construction of Gangcheng District is also in full swing.
And with Wang Jundao's personal sword, under the resolute implementation of Baiyun City, the new policy is also in full swing in the Tai'an area.
By 10 April, information had been received from the five combat regiments that each regiment had recruited 5,000 troops, and that all of them were physically strong enough to meet the recruitment standards, but it was a pity that the weapons were too lacking, with an average of seven or eight people having a gun, and the five regiment commanders also asked Wang Jundao to find a way to solve the weapon problem.
Wang Jundao read the information one by one, and smiled helplessly, although the rifles, pistols, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, submachine guns, grenades, mortars, etc. of the 'Piercing Sky' series have all been produced as experimental products, and the production workers are also quickly trained under the guidance of the weapon craftsman, but the first arsenal has just taken root in the steel city, where can he go to mass produce weapons because of the lack of steel and iron?
In desperation, he could only choose to embark on the road of buying arms again, because Rudolph had provided him with several arms dealers before leaving, but they were all in Qingdao, which was occupied by Germany, and he was very busy, either war, or development, not development, or cartography, not cartography, or planning, not planning, or writing technology......
Even if Wang Jundao had countless amounts of money now, he didn't have time to buy weapons from arms dealers, but now he had to buy them, even if he didn't hesitate to spend a high price.
(ps: I signed a contract, and Huangfeng asked for a reward in this chapter, a collection, and a recommendation...... )
