In fact, for this production line, Han Zheng's money is not enough to buy, and this kind of thing is difficult to buy even if there is money in troubled times, if it weren't for Li Yiru's help, don't think about it.

Li Yiru is Li Ying's father, the reason why the other party helped Han Zheng was because he saw what Han Zheng had done recently, so he invested in Han Zheng, which was out of a businessman's instinct, as for whether it was related to his daughter, Li Yiru never said.

"Good! Then let's recruit troops and train strong troops!! After everyone slowly accepted and digested the news, people's hearts cheered up, and Cao Debiao stood up directly and said.

After everyone is unified, the next thing becomes simpler, and everything is logical.

According to the original battalion establishment, there should be four full teams, one team of three platoons, each row with three sheds, and each shed with fourteen men, according to this calculation, if the whole battalion is full, there should be a total of five hundred and four men.

After some deliberation, it was finally decided to first flesh out the battalion's establishment, formally set up a battalion headquarters command organization and a full-fledged subordinate command structure, and put an end to the previous state of being in name only.

The goal of the final expansion is to strive for a small-scale defensive war and offensive and defensive warfare in the region after the expansion of the army.

In addition, in addition to removing the full strength of the infantry of these four teams, Han Zheng also expanded his own guards, officially establishing a full strength of 126 people, so that the responsibility of the guards has been increased by one, and it is also responsible for wartime support.

As for the gendarmerie, it was also expanded to 126 men, responsible for picketing training and military discipline in the camp, punishing soldiers who violated military rules and discipline, and became a wartime warlord team.

The battalion headquarters also has a team establishment, which is responsible for the logistics of the army, and is responsible for organizing the people and serving as a transport soldier in wartime, with a total of 126 people.

In order to explore intelligence, Han Zheng formally set up his own intelligence agency in this expansion, set up a civil intelligence department, and temporarily directly responsible for Han Zheng, in the bright office, with the help of the tentacles of the water transportation and caravan under the jurisdiction of the battalion headquarters to carry out peripheral infiltration, a total of 40 people in the dark line, usually responsible for water transportation and foreign trade to collect intelligence and draw maps, although it cannot play a role for the time being, but Han Zheng believes that in the future, his own civil intelligence department is enough to take on the task of collecting operational intelligence.

At the local level, in view of local law and order and wartime control, an attempt was made to establish a police force to be responsible for maintaining law and order in the county town and to picket crime, and forty men were temporarily placed in the county for the initial attempt.

These are not counted, Han Zheng planned to carry out rectification among the various arms of the army, set up an additional artillery unit, and handed over the responsibility to Li Feng, and the main combat artillery personnel let Li Feng personally select among the various teams, train himself, and develop from scratch, with three guns in one gun, and one team of 126 guards at the same time.

A new engineer corps will be built under the direct jurisdiction of the battalion, and a total of 150 engineers will be recruited.

Taken together, Han Zheng's plan this time can be regarded as a large-scale expansion of recruitment, so if this time goes smoothly, it can be regarded as a leapfrog development for the construction of the entire battalion, and the number of soldiers has directly increased from more than 300 to nearly 1,300 soldiers.

It has really achieved the point that although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.

After Han Zheng said the specific plan, everyone was surprised, that is, they originally thought that Han Zheng estimated that he would recruit a large number of soldiers, but he didn't expect that there would be so many, there were only more than 300 and less than 400 people in the original battalion, but this time it was expanded to recruit nearly 1,000 people at one time! Even Cao Debiao and Xiang Jie both couldn't believe it.

"In this way, the logistics and the ability to raise troops here are just close to the limit." The hearts of the few people present below moved, and when they thought of this, they suddenly understood, it seems that the battalion commander has already thought about it.

"What, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it then?" Han Zheng saw the people with different faces below, and said quietly.

"Don't worry, everyone, since others can lead thousands of soldiers, the dispatch is orderly, and we all graduated from regular military schools, don't we have any confidence at all?!"

"Remember, this is the beginning, we are going to take advantage of this period of stability to pull the army up, if it is time to fight, then it will be too late to train the soldiers, each of you must be mentally prepared, our road is still far away, in the future, we are all eating and living in the barracks, and completely pull the army up!"

Han Zheng slapped the table, his voice calm and powerful, infecting several officers under him.

Hearing Han Zheng's words, after the initial shock, everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the determination and excitement in each other's eyes, they were very young, they were never afraid of hardship, and they all secretly thought in their hearts that they would have to quickly adapt to this rapid pace of development in the future, otherwise they would be abandoned at that time.

At the same time, Han Zheng's attitude also faintly revealed some of Han Zheng's ambitions, at this time, Han Zheng could understand the thoughts of these people, originally only Wang Xian knew his goal, so after Wang Xian knew that he was not suitable for leading troops, he took the initiative to withdraw from the position of the chief officer in the army and became the captain of the gendarmerie.

The others didn't show some of their mouths until this time, and everyone had this reaction, but this time it seems that they spread out their cards very well.

"In the recent past, your positions and subordinates have remained unchanged for the time being, and after the recruits are full, they will be readjusted and reorganized, so everyone must be mentally prepared. Also, from tomorrow onwards, all the training will be slowed down, and the things at hand will be taken care of, and then this is the only one thing that will be done. But don't worry too much, our main combat infantry is indeed relatively small now, but once it stabilizes in the future, if there is a chance, the number of land forces will be increased, and our army construction will begin to enter the road of rapid development and regularized development from today! Alright, let's all go down and prepare! ”

Everyone left one after another with their own thoughts, and Han Zheng was still sitting in his seat, quietly thinking about what he hadn't thought of and the personnel arrangements after the recruits were recruited.

As his thoughts deepened, at this time, Han Zheng felt more and more that he had too few talents under him, and there were not many subordinates who stood alone, fortunately, the education of middle and lower-level officers in the army had been going on, and he could still hold on to the past, but thinking about his own development speed in the later stage, Han Zheng's desire for talents became more and more urgent.

It seems that a formal institution for the education of officers is about to be established, but where can I find this instructor?

Han Zheng sighed, this is the disadvantage of rapid development, and I hope it will slowly get better in the future.

The next day, all the people in the entire battalion moved, Wang Xian, Li Feng, Chen Feng, Xiang Jie, Duan Nian, Lin Xiang, etc., and even Zheng Rong arranged their respective tasks in front of their respective subordinates with solemn faces.

Regarding the recruitment of soldiers, since listening to Han Zheng's words, no one dared to ignore this matter, and explained the recruitment rules that had been set before in detail again in front of their respective subordinates, and made sure that the soldiers wrote them down, and then arranged it, and then took them to the school field to listen to Han Zheng's final arrangements.

"Presumably your respective commanders have said that this recruitment is the first step in the development of our collective leapfrog! It's a day to remember! We have come all the way from the beginning of Baoding to today, how many times have we been despised by others? Are you willing, willing to be looked down upon by others? ”

Han Zheng stood on the stage and shouted loudly to his subordinates, the soldiers thought of the contempt they received in Baoding and Zhang Xun's army, especially during the march, and thought of that kind of look, which made the soldiers' blood boil completely.

"Unwilling, unwilling to !!"

・・・・・・

"Well, everyone's answer! Then I will tell you, only when we are strong, others will not dare to despise us, they will not dare to underestimate us, our expansion is the first step we have made, one day we will stand on the national stage, let them look down on us! Can you do it? ”

"Yes!"

"Alright, let's go!"

・・・・・・

At the end of March, there was some pre-storm silence in Chinese politics, and after Yuan Shikai became president, various careerists lurked in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.

In the vortex river basin, the end of March is a very leisurely day, and the wheat in the field has been planted, just waiting for the harvest in June and July this year.

Especially in the Wuyang area, since the arrival of Chief Han, the hero and good official in the hearts of the people, many of the previous miscellaneous taxes have been much less, coupled with Chief Han's commitment to the people not to collect agricultural taxes and commercial taxes this year, almost every family's life has become better in the past few months, and even the landlords have had to reduce the heavy rent under the oppression of Han Zheng.

But at the same time, the development of the cotton textile and flour mills spearheaded by Han Zheng in the area also saw another way for these small landowners with surplus wealth to make a fortune (of course, the big landlords had been almost plundered by the water bandits).

In their spare time, the people in the county can set up a stall, they will not have the pain of the modern street vendors, they will not have to worry about being smashed and collected, and they will also be protected by Han Zheng, and the commercial tax will be reduced for one year like the agricultural tax.

Therefore, for these people, there are more choices, and those who don't want to do these things can also go to Han Zheng's cotton textile mills and flour mills to do some work, and even work in the small textile factories jointly run by those small landlords, although the wages are a little less, but they will not go hungry.

People from the surrounding villages also go to the county town from time to time to exchange all kinds of seasonal vegetables and some food produced in their fields for some pocket money, and of course, as long as the family is clean, they can also work in flour mills and textile factories.

In nearly half a year, the entire Wuyang area has been incompatible with several surrounding areas, and the spiritual outlook and attitude of the people here have undergone great changes, and the town has become lively.

But today is more lively than in the past two months, even more lively than when Han Zheng executed the water bandits and those opium dealers, because of the conscription notice that has been posted on the streets today.

The first sign on that notice was written in a large font: Beiyang Third Town's First Independent Bid Conscription Notice.

The main contents are as follows:

1: In March of the Republic of China, anyone who is at least 18 years old and under 35 years old, has no bad habits, has no opium smoking experience, is in good health, and voluntarily serves as a soldier can sign up for the program.

2. Those who have only children in the family and have parents who need to support them are not conscripted, and if they find the phenomenon of forced conscription during the conscription period, they can report it, and the forced conscripts will be severely punished.

Three: After the strong man enters the camp, he must obey the arrangements of the superiors, and if there is any violation of the order, he will be driven out of the camp immediately and will never be accepted again.
