Xiao Zhenlei asked Song Shijie to inquire about the behavior of this Zhong County Order, if you want to deal with the characters in the official face, you must first find out the temper and preferences of the family, otherwise you don't know how to come to the door after the past, and you don't know how to talk, which is the most sadistic. ◇↓ Top ◇ ↓ Point ◇ ↓ Small ◇ ↓ Said, www.

Then Xiao Zhenlei said to Song Shijie: "You can put aside the matter of inquiring about the Zhong County Order first, and now go and notify Cai Guodong, Ma Hanlong and a few other members to come over, we will have a small meeting, there is something for everyone to discuss!" ”

"Okay, I'll go now!" Song Shijie said yes and turned to leave.

It didn't take long for several key members of the team to arrive, and at this time, Xiao Zhenlei had already arranged for Secretary Gao to pour a cup of tea for everyone and prepare an ashtray.

Lighting a cigarette, Xiao Zhenlei took a few puffs and looked at everyone and said: "The main reason for calling you over today is that something happened suddenly, two hours ago, Li Pingshu, the chief director of the Chengxiang Autonomous Office, called me over and said that Jiangning is ready to send troops to exterminate all the bandit cottages and salt lord gangs in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, but the troops on Su Songtaidao's side are insufficient, and the garrison is not enough, where can I send troops and horses to suppress the bandits?" Daotai Cai Naihuang reluctantly transferred two patrol battalions, which was far from enough, he took a fancy to the 500 men of the Nanshi merchant group and the 500 men and horses of our company's escort team, and decided to draw 400 people from the Nanshi merchant group and our escort team respectively to form a standard, under the jurisdiction of two battalions, which is the eighth patrol battalion of Susong Taidao, and I will serve as the standard commander, and after the return of the bandits, our standard will be assigned to the 23rd mixed association of the new army, and the number will be changed to the 46th standard, and I will be the 46th standard commander. Tomorrow I will go to the Daotai Yamen to meet Cai Naihuang, Li Pingshu just received Cai Naihuang's instructions to let me be mentally prepared in advance. In other words, I can't agree to this matter if I don't want to, otherwise Cai Naihuang won't give me good fruits to eat. What do you think about this, and how should we deal with it? ”

Everyone else sitting there was a smoking gun, and the conference room was full of smoke, and after Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, the frequency of other people smoking increased significantly, and there was more smoke in the conference room.

Song Shijie spoke first: "I thought Cai Naihuang had a deep intention to do this, he has long been very jealous of the five hundred merchant group armed forces in the hands of the secretary general and the five hundred guards of our company, but there has been no excuse to take away our people, you must know that there are only five patrol battalions here, and there are less than two thousand people in total." The garrison itself is insufficient, if two patrol battalions are transferred, and the secretary general controls a thousand men and horses, the threat of this force to Shanghai is very huge, he will definitely not rest assured, and this time it happened that Jiangning was going to suppress bandits, so he felt that it was an opportunity, he must have his own plans, and the person who led the troops of Su Song Taidao this time must not be the secretary general. In my opinion, it may be Jiang Guodong, the commander of the patrol battalion and the chief officer of the Wusong Fort, who can order Jiang Guodong to let our soldiers charge forward as cannon fodder, and if the two battalions led by the secretary general suffer heavy losses in the battle, he can take the opportunity to swallow up the remaining remnants of our defeated generals. If the Secretary-General leads two battalions to win a great victory in the battle, he can make overtures to the Secretary-General and make the Secretary-General loyal to him through a series of means, such as bribery and wooing, sealing officials and making wishes. For example, as the Secretary-General said, he was transferred to the 23rd Mixed Association of the Forces nouvelles to serve as the 46th Standard Commander. The two battalions under the command of the Secretary-General are also classified as the 46th standard, which is one standard for the Forces nouvelles. Eight hundred people are far from enough, so he has to recruit soldiers, lack of officers, so that he can send officers to the forty-sixth standard to mix sand with the secretary general's subordinates, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling or clamping down on the forty-sixth standard, the secretary general must hold his thick legs if he wants to stabilize the position of the forty-sixth standard, otherwise it is easy to be replaced by others! ”

Song Shijie's words simply analyzed Cai Naihuang's plan thoroughly, Cai Naihuang actually planned to do so, Song Shijie and Cai Naihuang are old friends, no wonder he can feel Cai Naihuang's pulse and know what kind of he eats.

After listening to Song Shijie's analysis, the other team members thought it was very reasonable, and they all nodded, and the eagle Cai Guodong took a puff of cigarette and said: "Actually, I think this is not an opportunity for us!" ”

Ma Hanlong, the head of security, was puzzled: "Oh? Brother Guodong must have an opinion when he says this, why don't you say it quickly? ”

Cai Guodong said: "The first batch of 500 escorts we beckoned have been training for a total of five months now, and it stands to reason that the training of recruits has long ended, but in order not to let these people be discovered by the outside world, and not let them go out to cause trouble, we have not let their training stop, but for so long, we have not let them go to the real battlefield, and have not given them the opportunity to see blood, the secretary general and you all know a truth, soldiers who have not fought with the enemy are always recruits, And this time we can take this opportunity to train the soldiers in the open, let them see the blood, out of the ranks of the recruits, I believe that as long as they see the blood, they will definitely become an elite army after this crackdown on bandits! ”

The other team members nodded their heads again and again, yes, no matter how long an army has not seen blood, no matter how good the combat weapons and equipment are, they are still recruits, once they experience a big war, they will collapse if they are frustrated in the big war, so it is necessary to take those escort teams who have completed their training out to see blood!

"I also thought this was an opportunity for us, so we simply agreed to it!" Deputy General Manager Deng Huaming said.

Later, Lin Zhiqiang, another deputy general manager, also agreed: "Yes, the escort team has been training for nearly half a year and has knocked out so much ammunition, so it's time to test their training effectiveness!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei looked at Song Shijie, Fan Zhiyong, and Ma Hanlong and asked, "Old Song, Old Fan, Old Ma, what do you mean?" ”

Song Shijie said: "I also agree, this is indeed an opportunity to hone our army in the open, since Cai Naihuang has already calculated, I estimate that the Secretary-General you can't hide from it anyway, even if you pretend to be sick or go out, Cai Naihuang will find a way to seize our military power, rather than this, you might as well simply agree to come down, as long as we firmly control these people, Cai Naihuang will not dare to mess around." Because he is also worried that if he pushes you into a hurry, you will suddenly get into trouble, and then he will lose more than he gains! ”

Fan Zhiyong and Ma Hanlong also nodded in agreement. Agree with Song Shijie's statement.

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said, "So we will take this opportunity to hone the army, and this matter will be settled." Lao Cai, in the past two days, you have selected the 400 escort team to be dispatched, mobilized and prepared, and if there is nothing else, then the meeting will be dismissed."

On October 2, China's self-built Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was opened to traffic, presided over by Zhan Tianyou, a railway engineering expert, with a total length of 380 miles, which is also the first railway built by China independently.

Also on this day. Xiao Zhenlei went to the Daotai Yamen to meet Cai Naihuang, the car stopped after driving to the door of the Daotai Yamen, Xiao Zhenlei asked Opiyin to help him hand the post in, and the soldiers guarding the door did not dare to slack off when they saw the post handed by a foreigner, so they took the post and turned around and entered the yamen.

A few minutes later, Cai Naihuang opened the post and saw that it was Xiao Zhenlei who came, and he was quite emotional, thinking that Xiao Zhenlei and Song Shijie came to him in the hope that they could buy land and build a factory, and he was worried that Xiao Zhenlei was too wild. It is easy to provoke right and wrong, and at that time, it happened that Xiao Zhenlei beat Opiyin to the hospital, and he was afraid that foreigners would make trouble and make a fuss for himself. Therefore, he sternly rejected Xiao Zhenlei, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhenlei to finally subdue Opiyin and let Opiyin come forward to help say yes. Let Ge Shihong sell the land willingly.

Xiao Zhenlei was also as Cai Naihuang expected, and he really caused trouble everywhere. However, he also found that although Xiao Zhenlei likes to cause trouble, he has a way to save the day every time. I also met a lot of famous bigwigs in Shanghai, but this guy's power developed more and more, and finally there were a thousand soldiers and horses, everyone had guns, which was definitely a force to be ignored in Shanghai, which made him feel scared, in case this guy went crazy or was rebelled by the revolutionary party, then wouldn't this Shanghai beach be going to change? Therefore, he took this opportunity to weaken Xiao Zhenlei's forces, and then annexed it while he was weak.

"Let him in!" Cai Naihuang touched his forehead and commanded the soldier opposite.

"Yes, sir!"

Soon Xiao Zhenlei and Opiyin were led in by the soldier just now, and Xiao Zhenlei saw Cai Naihuang and saluted: "See your lord!" ”

Cai Naihuang raised his hand: "Mr. Xiao, excuse me, sit."

"Thank you, sir!" Xiao Zhenlei agreed, walked to a chair next to him and sat down.

Cai Naihuang didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Presumably Li Pingshu of the Chengxiang Autonomous Office has already mentioned it to you yesterday, right?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei had to get up and bend down and arch his hand: "Yes, my lord, for the court to suppress bandits, it is incumbent on me to be humble, but if my lord has an order, my humble duty will definitely lead my men and horses to charge forward."

"Hmm!" It's strange that Cai Naihuang wants to believe his words, after all, no one is a fool, but there was a smile on his face, "That's good, this time it's helpless for you to take the merchant group to arm and your escort team to send troops together with Jiang Guodong to suppress the bandits, who let us have insufficient troops here?" But you can rest assured, this official will not let you work in vain, now this official will appoint you as the commander of the Susong Taidao patrol battalion, and the eight hundred people drawn from the merchant group and your factory guard team will become a standard, under the jurisdiction of two battalions, led by you, this time to send troops to suppress the bandits with Jiang Guodong as the main general, you are the deputy to assist, the two of you must work together to clean up the bandits, and when you return victorious, the official will recommend you to be the commander of the 23rd mixed formation association of the new army, and your two battalions will also be brought over together! ”

Xiao Zhenlei saluted again: "Yes, my lord!" But my lord, this army also needs a pull-out fee, and it needs to buy ammunition, and the 800 people in the lowly position only have guns, not cannons, and the lowly job wants to buy four artillery pieces, so as not to suffer a loss in the fight, and in addition, the purchase of grain and grass and other materials also need silver, I don't know what the adults have to send the pull-out fee and ammunition and food pay down? ”

Cai Naihuang's face darkened when he heard this, and he wanted to ask someone to drag Xiao Zhenlei out and chop him on the spot, but he also knew that this would definitely not work, and Xiao Zhenlei was likely to jump off the wall in a hurry, it is said that this guy has a lot of ability, and there is a foreigner next to him, it is not easy to provoke, so he can bear this evil breath for the time being.

Cai Naihuang said with a gloomy face: "The official is not rich in his hands, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain, but this time the bandits have nothing to do with you, but the official asked you to suppress the bandits, and it is really impossible to say that you don't give you a little money, so let's do it, the official will give you 10,000 taels, and the excess is gone, if you want to buy artillery and ammunition, you have to find a way to find a foreigner to buy it, and you need to raise the insufficient part yourself, if you can win the battle, all the seizures will belong to you, and the government will not take a penny!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei succeeded in his treacherous plan and immediately said: "Lord Xie", this time he can openly ask Bauer to buy artillery. (To be continued......) R527
