Gathering more than 2,000 brothers on the school field of Niujiabao, Song Biao personally found vermilion lacquer and wrote a row of big characters on the front wall, saying, "The husband is born in troubled times, and he should hold a three-foot sword to establish immortal deeds."

This remark originated from Tai Shi Ci of the Three Kingdoms of Eastern Wu, although Tai Shi Ci failed to establish a real immortal career in his life, but these words really inspired the ambition of hundreds of millions of men.

After writing this sentence, Song Biao turned around and told everyone that this sentence was the military language of their Manchurian infantry division, and the whole army must firmly remember this sentence and understand the truth of this sentence.

Encouraged by this, even on the second day after returning to Niujiabao for repairs, Song Biao did not let the brothers rest, and from this morning, he once again mentioned that he had put aside the training for two and a half months, and continued to train his soldiers from the basics.

From Qiandongling to Jiangjiayao, he has never lost a single defeat in battles large and small, but in every battle, he has to give priority to how to avoid the major defect of the low combat quality of his troops.

Except for the slight exception of the battle of Shen Danbao, he almost all the elites were transferred out for a single training for half a month, and everything else was like this, all of them desperately took advantage of the advantages of geography and weapons, tried their best to weaken the enemy's high combat quality, and dragged down the opponent with the simplest defensive battles and machine gun battles.

Song Biao obviously can't keep fighting like this, even if he encounters the Yue army again, the Yue army will understand his shortcomings, as long as he pays a little attention to it and implements operational adjustments for his surname, he will have no possibility of reversing the situation.

Therefore, he had to train his soldiers more severely.

War is the best military school, and he has at least 2,600 veterans who have fought many wars, and these brothers are his most important foundation. These veterans, plus the recruits trained by Yang Tiesheng in the past two months, are a very complete unit when integrated.

After the brothers had been in contact with the Russian army for so long and had a certain understanding of modern warfare and the modern military establishment system, he officially adopted the establishment system of the Russian army, while continuing to retain some of the advantages of the German army and the division group system.

He organized his Manchurian infantry division into four infantry regiments, with a divisional garrison battalion, a gendarmerie battalion, an engineer regiment, and a baggage transport regiment directly under the jurisdiction of the division headquarters, and a cavalry brigade and an artillery regiment under the plan.

Song Biao has his own military theory, and he has always believed that the troops must have a strong follow-up reserve force, and only in this way can they hold on to the death or attack by force, which has been proven many times in the War of Liberation.

Therefore, in the normal formal establishment of divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, Song Biao did not strictly abide by the three-three system, and in the most critical regiment-level combat units, he set up four battalions and one battalion as a reserve battalion.

There must also be four infantry regiments at the division level, three of which are the main forces and the fourth is a reserve.

Military merit is military merit, this is the achievement of real swords and real guns on the battlefield, Song Biao must not let his infantry squadron be directly promoted to the main infantry regiment just because Yang Tiesheng is his trusted cronies.

Among the new four infantry regiments set up by Song Biao, Zhao Tingzhu continued to serve as the commander of the First Infantry Regiment, Zhang Yahu served as the Second Infantry Regiment, and had the highest military merits in the First Battle of Shendanbao, and Chen Wu, the most courageous leopard in battle from the Battle of Nandiantun to the Battle of Jiangjiayao, served as the commander of the Third Infantry Regiment, and Yang Tiesheng could only serve as the commander of the Fourth Infantry Regiment as a reserve force.

Hu Dalin continued to serve as the head of the engineering regiment, and Xue Changqing was still the commander of the transport regiment.

The officials are all sealed, but whether they really have this ability or not, there is still a question mark and a discount.

A few days later, Song Biao made a report, demanding that the Far Eastern Army Command must send a middle-level staff officer who graduated from the Military Academy to Niujiabao as the new chief instructor, take over the teaching materials of the Moscow Noncommissioned Officer School and the Pavlov Military Academy, and then organize a group of Russian translators to translate these teaching materials into Chinese.

This process took about a few years, and before that, Song Biao first simply translated a complete set of manuals for non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the Russian army, different branches of the army have different manuals, infantry, artillery, cavalry, and engineers have separate manuals, and with these manuals, they have at least a preliminary tutorial specification that can be relied on.

Because it was a complete reconstruction, Song Biao could only retrain all regiment commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon commanders, and squad leaders as new soldiers from the basics.

In this way, Zhao Tingzhu, Zhang Yahu and others also had to directly command a group of company commanders, and the company commanders actually directly commanded a group of squad leaders. The system was put in place, and in view of the fact that there was a large shortage of qualified officers, the only way to deal with it was to simplify the five-tier management system to three tiers.

In other words, Song Biao's Manchurian Infantry Division was actually a four-level system of division, regiment, company, and squad, and even Song Biao had to continue to be directly in charge of the company commander.

In addition to the artillery unit and cavalry unit, Song Biao did not need to completely adopt the methods of the Russian army in the training of other arms, nor did he need to rely on the Russian army instructors, he himself had a complete set of strategies, a large part of which was to follow the communist army, and many of them were simply adjusted to the actual situation.

Meals always have to be eaten in one bite, out of practical considerations, Song Biao designed a complete set of training plans, with a three-month cycle, first for queue training and firearms skills training, and then gradually adjust the physical fitness of the soldiers, and finally to adjust the tactical movements and combat tactics to execute the training, after the three-month recruit period is the intensive period, continue to re-train again, followed by the improvement period and the excellent period.

During the improvement period, he began to ask for cultural classes, and four different cultural tutoring classes were organized according to the level of literacy, and each company was assigned as many as possible four to seven soldiers who had studied as tutors, so as to make up for the lack of literacy of most platoon commanders and company commanders.

In the excellent period, in fact, he began to emphasize more rigorous skill training and tactical training, and initially came into contact with scouts and field combat training, emphasizing more abundant physical fitness and fighting will.

At the end of the excellent period, the soldier will be considered qualified and can go to the battlefield, and the best part of the excellent period will be transferred to the position of squad leader, or selected into the reconnaissance company for more rigorous training.

Different situations and times always have different training methods, and this set of methods designed by Song Biao is applicable to his current situation, which is actually to disassemble the three-month recruit training he experienced at that time into a one-year cycle, and more detailed counseling and training, so that the soldiers can slowly adapt.

On this basis, he also introduced his own Eight Discipline and Gendarmerie Corps, and began to fundamentally embark on efforts to regularize the troops.

In this world, hard work always pays off.

Song Biao, who returned to Niujiapu and began to make these adjustments, worked very hard to promote the development of the troops, in fact, in half a month, his Manchurian infantry division quietly gradually appeared in this rhythm of great changes, especially with the comprehensive distribution of military uniforms, the overall replacement of rifles and other equipment, everyone is indeed in the material and spiritual aspects of the direction of the regularized troops demanded by Song Biao.

It was only at this time that Song Biao began to consider the major event of personnel expansion, and it was at this time that Xue Changqing and Lao Jintou finally returned to Niujiabao with the first huge amount of money to sell grain.

Xue Changqing became the head of the transport regiment and left first with the transport regiment and the old Jintou's caravan brigade, from the Hunjiang River to Shenyang City to take the Tonghua line, it would only take ten days to travel, now the weather is not as cold as before, they have more horsepower, there are troops escorting all the way, naturally they go faster, and they will arrive in Fushun in seven days.

They only returned to Nandian Tunzi in the afternoon, and after Song Biao heard the news, he immediately got up and went to Nandian Tunzi to meet them in person.

When Song Biao arrived at Nandian Tunzi, Xue Changqing happened to rest in Nandian Tunzi with the transport team, and the people also repaired a little in the Nandian Inn with the old golden head.

Hearing the footsteps, Xue Changqing turned around and saw Song Biao and said with a smile: "Big boss, you can come fast enough, I and the old golden head are about to change into clean clothes and then go to report back to you, it's good for you, you don't give any rest time." ”

Song Biao laughed loudly, and motioned for several old brothers to enter the Welcome Pavilion together, and then he took the first step himself, and when he entered the East Chamber, he asked Xue Changqing and Lao Jintou to sit on the kang and talk to him.

The shopkeeper hurriedly poured tea for them, and gave them two plates of fried peanuts and freshly baked meat buns, plus two bottles of Bentunzi's home-brewed rice wine.

These two are both gods of wealth, Song Biao sat cross-legged on the kang and said with a smile: "I'm in a hurry, you should hurry up and report the account, probably report the number, thousands of brothers in my family are waiting for this silver." ”

Xue Changqing said with a smile: "Big boss, we really earned it this time." We discussed with Major Tuvaniel in advance, and several of their Russian generals helped us, and deliberately locked up Shenyang City for a few more days, and the investigation was particularly strict, and our grain was sold at a ruthless price as soon as we entered the city, and a load of grain was 120 oceans, and it was not allowed to lower the price, we have a price and no market. The price of grain in Shenyang City is really very dark, the price of grain in Fushun is the same, our 8,000 quintals of grain should have been sold for 960,000 oceans, but according to what you said, give those Russians a batch of benefits, plus we actually through the help of the Russians, there are other means to buy land deeds everywhere, this in and out of the 300,000 oceans, we are stored in the Russian Daosheng Bank, this is a deposit ticket, and the rest have bought land deeds and land deeds. ”

Song Biao asked him, "How is the land price now?" ”

Xue Changqing replied: "Speaking of land prices, it's sad." Our Kanto region has always been a vast and sparsely populated place, and the land price is cheap, because the grain often has to be sold, and the land has always been cheap and expensive. Shenyang, Fushun and Liaoyang are the land of Fengtianfu, the land price is relatively high in previous years, a piece of land can be sold for 300 oceans, but in fact, who has so many oceans, the average price of a piece of land is 25 quintals of sorghum rice. Our Hunjiang and Huichun are broken places where birds don't, and one piece of land can basically only sell twenty quintals of rice, if it is a place like Balichuan, where silver is scarce, a hundred oceans can buy two pieces of land. Our Kanto is not cheap else, but the land is cheap. In the area of Shenyang City at the moment, the land price is not cheap, it is simply miserable. ”

Song Biao listened to him, and he could only sigh in his heart, and specially poured a bowl of rice wine for him and Lao Jintou, while he listened quietly.

Xue Changqing continued: "Let's just talk about the place in Shendanbao, what a good land, the land within a radius of thirty miles is a whole water flat land, all black soil, very fertile, Lao Guo Tou collected the land over there, 40,000 rubles plus 800 loads of grain from the local landlords for a whole 3,000 hectares of land. The big boss, the current Kanto has four things that are the most valuable, grain, ruble tickets, yuan tickets and ocean yuan, we have them in our hands, and it is not easy to buy land. The price of land has always been relatively chaotic, and now it is even more chaotic, some people are in a hurry, and more than a dozen oceans can actually be exchanged for a piece of land, which is not dared to think at all in previous years. You think, if you really have to serve the land well, the wind and rain are good, how can you have a harvest of 50 loads of grain that year, right? Let's do this well, Shenyang is such a good land, and the price of a piece of land can't buy a load of grain? Let's put it this way, Shenyang is now a place where the price of grain has risen tenfold and the price of land has fallen tenfold, miserable, the people are not happy, and the situation of planting a sorghum stalk on the baby's head to sell children is everywhere, we opened a rice shop in Shenyang City, and as soon as the door was opened early in the morning, the door was sold to children, and a little girl who was seven or eight years old could only sell a small bag of sorghum rice, at most twenty catties, which was considered a high price. ”

Speaking of which, everyone is sad.

The old golden head smoked a tube of dry tobacco and sighed: "The babies are evil, I also bought a little daughter-in-law for my grandson by the way, who is two years older than my grandson and spent twenty catties of sorghum rice. ”

Song Biao also sighed and said, "Poor, I'm afraid this battle will have to be fought for a while." ”

Xue Changqing said: "Let's not talk about these things, let's just talk about it, it won't help." Anyway, the land price in Shenyang City and Liaoyang is very cheap, what is the average price, we don't have a quasi, some large families sell cheap, a land of thirty oceans on the sale, some people are not in a hurry, a piece of land may be able to sell fifty oceans, small households are even more cheap, ten catties of millet can be exchanged for half a land, the old Guo Tou called his son Guo Sanxizi to the city, the kid was shrewd, opened a pawnshop and a rice shop, the two shops leaned together to open, on the one hand to sell grain, while harvesting the fields, Anyway, we can collect at least 1,000 yuan of land on this day, we still pick and buy, as much as possible to buy a tun, a lot, in the future to facilitate turnover, even if we are not in a hurry to sell, we can also hire someone to take care of things, rent to tenants to collect rent. ”

Song Biao asked them, "How much land have you bought now?" ”

Xue Changqing took out the close-fitting package, opened it for Song Biao to see, and there were stacks of sorted field deeds inside, and said, "When I left, I had already bought 14,000 acres of land." When you left Shenyang City before, you gave Lao Guo Tou 400,000 rubles for military salaries, and when Lao Jintou and I went over, we brought 1 million yuan and 100,000 rubles in bills, plus 8,000 quintals of grain. Because we were waiting for the Russian army to prepare our second batch of supplies in place, Lao Jintou and I delayed in Shenyang City for two more days, and in just two days, half of our 8,000 loads of grain were sold. Before leaving, I discussed this matter with Lao Guotou, and our grain still has to be sold without saving. Now grain is worth more than rubles, and rubles are worth more than foreign yuans, but all the big gentry sell their land in exchange for rubles, and the small families are poor and hungry can't afford to eat, and the price of grain is rising day by day, and what they want most is grain. We will put these two things in the hands of the land exchange, in fact, the real easiest to get the title deed is the pawnshop, Lao Guo Tou in the pawnshop in Shenyang City have turned around, many pawnshops are low prices to eat the land, sell it to us. I wonder if we will transport another 10,000 quintals of grain in the next batch, it is said that the price of grain in Huinan is not very outrageous, a load is only 70 oceans, the big boss, we might as well run a horse team to transport grain in Huinan and sell it in the Fushun area, maybe we can also make some hard money? ”

Song Biao nodded and said, "Don't be in a hurry about this matter, when I have dealt with the affairs of Hunjiang and Tonghua, let's send a team of cavalry to Huinan to find a few unruly bandits to beat them, let them know how powerful we are, and then continue our horse gang business." ”

Xue Changqing nodded and said, "That's the same." ”

Song Biao checked the land deed and title deed of this package, and then took a pencil and calculated it on the paper, according to the current price, he still has 1.27 million yuan, 520,000 rubles, 490,000 foreign yuan, 1,170 taels of gold, and nearly 30,000 quintals of grain.

As for the other kinds of jewelry that were intercepted from the bandits at one time, he had not yet settled the accounts, because these things were not worth much in the troubled times, and they could not make much money if they were sold, so all the surnames of Suo were accumulated in the treasury and then changed hands and emptied when the world was peaceful in the future.

He wants to buy the coal and iron franchise in Fushun and other places, including buying some other materials from the Russian army, the 520,000 ruble ticket must not be moved anymore, and the 1.27 million yuan is inconvenient to use temporarily, and the number of foreign yuan is limited, which is mainly used to pay military salaries.

The best way is to continue to sell grain, and then exchange a batch of yuan with the Russian Daosheng Bank as much as possible, and exchange it for rubles to buy a land deed, and with the money and grain that he can mobilize, he can buy at least another 20,000 yuan of land, and the remaining money is still enough for him to pay military salaries in the near future, as well as to buy the coal and iron franchise in Fushun and other places.

In this way, after the end of the Russian War, he will be able to have about 35,000 acres of land in his hands, and if he sells these fields in two years, he will be able to make at least 10 million foreign yuan. In the past two years, some land rents will be collected, and if they are all planted with soybeans and sold abroad, the income will only be higher.

Although his financial path is a national disaster for cutting off children and grandchildren, he is always innocent and not a husband in life, and he is indecisive at this time, and he misses the opportunity, so what capital will he use to fight a national war with him in the future?

Therefore, it is still necessary to be vicious at the critical moment.

If Cao Ying is not vicious enough, can he achieve a hegemony?
