Chapter 194 Tax Police Corps

The county magistrate, how to say that the size is also an official! It's still directly sealed, so it's done.

The county magistrate is a big official in the eyes of the people, and a small official in the eyes of high-ranking officials. But petty officials have the benefits of petty officials, and petty officials are easy to control! When the aftermath is over, he will throw an idle post to Zhao Yun, and it will be solved, anyway, Zhao Yun's current county magistrate is an idle post, and no one has ever seen him deal with government affairs for a day! His little life is not quite comfortable!

As a result, Zhao Yundang was the mayor and got the consent of everyone present, and he was unanimously approved. Such a situation is rare in the political circles in the early years of the Republic of China, which time the struggle for power is not a chicken flying dog jumping, you don't see, this custom has also been brought to Wanwan.

When the bigwigs from all walks of life sent people to Yixing to pick up Zhao Yun, the parties were still concerned about the situation in the Far East! How could he have time to grind with them, so Zhao Yun happily agreed to hand over the military power and become a civilian official.

However, Zhao Yun proposed that in order to carry out the work better, his subordinates should form a team to collect taxes. At this point, Nanjing's head and brain estimated that Zhao Yun was planning to scrape the ground. This unjust thing has to be done by others, and it is true that some sweet dates have to be given, so the bigwigs from all walks of life in Nanjing also agreed to Zhao Yun's plan. With their sponsorship, Jixian County naturally pushed the boat along the river and appointed Zhao Yun to the position, of course, Zhao Yun was still nowhere to be seen, nesting in Yixing, and Nanjing was not going to go.

In the battle of attacking Nanjing City in front, Zhao Yun found that the camp soldiers around him were still too rigid, and they still couldn't handle some things well.

When it comes to Meng Shentong, I have to say that Guo Shenqian, the bandit leader who caused trouble, was pushed out by Zhao Yun and directly "clicked" because he was evil. It can be regarded as avenging the people who were plagued by him before.

And Meng Shentong was left behind by Zhao Yun and took Zhou Luo's position. Meng Shentong is good at training, and Zhao Yun is preparing to establish a tax police corps.

When the tax police corps is fully completed, it should be subordinate to five regiments, which is equivalent to six regiments with the troops directly under the regiment. The establishment of the regiment is quite large, each squad has 14 soldiers, each squad is equipped with a light machine gun, six squads are a platoon, three platoons are a company, each company has a total of 252 people, equivalent to two companies of the Beiyang regular army. The first battalion had four companies and two French field guns. The regiment commands three battalions and seven special forces companies, with a total of more than 5,000 combat soldiers in each regiment. The regimental headquarters directly administers seven battalions, including the special service battalion, the antiaircraft artillery battalion, the artillery battalion, and the communications battalion. The entire regiment has more than 30,000 troops.

Of course, at the moment it is only possible to form a regiment, and then use this regiment as a model and then expand it. In order to make up for the lack of its current combat effectiveness, Zhao Yun also formed a foreign unit in the form of an "advisory group."

At present, the Foreign Legion is composed of about 1,100 male soldiers, mainly from Russians, Czechs, Germans, French, and a small number of soldiers from Turkish Greek prisoners of war, as for the British and Americans, the number is very small, only about 1% of the total. The Foreign Legion was involved in combat when necessary, so they also had their own training. Of course, some of their rules are also different, for example, in terms of basic military training, the French regular army is required to run 120 steps per minute ("step" is a slang term for military length), while the French soldiers in the Foreign Legion run 88 steps per minute to meet the standard. In addition, in order to avoid anyone with a heart to get to the bottom of the matter, all the soldiers of the Foreign Legion use pseudonyms, which not only conceals their origins, but also casts a layer of mystery over Zhao Yun's background.

The 29-year-old gunsmith Robert, a former heavy machine gunner from northeastern France, came here to teach how to use French heavy machine guns, and as for why he came, he gave a very simple answer, "For the money!" "My salary is now 10 times what I used to be, and it's not the depreciated franc and the mark, it's the dollar." ”

Because the recruits recruited by the Tax Police Corps come from all over the country, including Shao Laoer's subordinates, bandits, Zhou Luo's garrison members, and Meng Shentong's people, and the training of recruits is very harsh. Therefore, Zhao Yun deliberately transferred a team of 5,000 camp soldiers to closely watch the every move of these recruits and instructors from abroad, nominally under the banner of preventing chaos due to language problems.

The soldiers needed to train hard, and the officers had no good time, and although Zhao Yun would provide them with French snails and Russian caviar, and even the occasional red wine from Provence, they also had to learn the military commands of European countries on a daily basis. Listening to those foreign instructors drinking and talking about Kan Dashan. Then they were taught the language and military knowledge, and how much they could learn was up to their understanding.

Although these foreign instructors have the title of "advisory group", they do the work of nannies, so they also have questions to answer and make up for the knowledge of these Chinese students. You must know that at that time, there were only seven or eight people in the "advisory group" of the general warlords, and even a dozen people were many, how could there be so many people like Zhao Yun, but now the ratio of foreigners to Chinese soldiers is 1 to 5, and they can open a small stove to tutor alone.

Of course, seeing so many foreigners, all the warlords chose to remain silent collectively in addition to their contempt for Zhao Yun's extravagance and waste, after all, no one knew what kind of medicine Zhao Yun was selling in his gourd?

What kind of medicine is sold? Of course, it is a special medicine, a special medicine that can make the army quickly become an army. The Russians that Zhao Yun found were for the newly formed tax police corps to be sparring partners, while the Germans were their combat instructors, and the Czechs were weapons instructors. Therefore, Zhao Yun attaches great importance to the use of firearms, which is why Zhao Yun knows that "made in Hanyang" is not the best firearm, but still uses it.

As for the Gallic rooster, it was to find them a target to surpass, after all, the Gallic rooster was still known as the first in the army at that time.

Seeing Zhao Yun retreating bravely and nesting in a small county town, the people who were directly concerned about Zhao Yun set their sights on Jixian County, where the Feng Department and them were already tense.

Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to retreat the main force to Tianmu Mountain, focusing on the development of the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, and became the boss behind the scenes.

As for tax collection, Zhao Yun only had one order, that is, within his sphere of influence, agricultural taxes were exempted, but men between the ages of 18 and 45 were required to join the militia. If they don't participate, then let the militia all go to his house to eat until they are willing to eat. This move killed those who were willing to accept Zhao Yun's governance and those who were unwilling to accept Zhao Yun's governance within their jurisdiction, and dragged them all to Zhao Yun's boat.

With the village as the squad, the township as the squadron, and the county as the brigade, Zhao Yun organized more than one million militia teams in one fell swoop. Although more than ninety percent of them did not have guns, this amount alone weighed the Anhui system that was ready to swallow Zhao Yun in one go.

"Finally got rid of these annoying guys." Zhao Yun saw that the open and dark sentinels outside his house had been removed, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable for a while.

Without those "eyes", Zhao Yun is ready to build a garage next. What garage? That's right, it's a garage, and it's an underground garage with a block, and you think the garage is for parking? Wrong, and very wrong, Zhao Yun used them to house cattle people. Look at Batman, look at Ant-Man, look at Iron Man. and other cow B characters that I don't know. Not to mention a nuclear bomb in someone's garage, even a time-lapse converter can get it out for you. Of course, you could say that those are heroes. But, come to think of it, the United States is a magical country, and anything weird can happen in theory. Maybe some kid who likes to stay in the garage has nothing to do every night and puts his underwear outside and does chivalrous deeds everywhere. It's just that I don't know about the otaku. After all, I haven't heard of any otaku who becomes a hero at home, except for crossing.

As soon as the affairs in Jiangnan are over, Zhao Yun will have to deal with the chaos in the Far East, collect characters such as Niu Chacha, and of course he has to give the things that the Feng Department has to explain before.

From April 10, the Feng army continued to enter the pass and changed its name to "Zhenwei Army", Zhang Huzi served as the commander-in-chief, Sun Liechen was the deputy commander-in-chief, and Yang Yuting was the chief of the general staff. The headquarters of the Zhenwei Army is located in the Military Grain City in Tianjin, with a total of 120,000 troops, including Zhang Jinghui's 1st Division, Zou Fen's 16th Division, Zhang Xueliang's 3rd Mixed Brigade, and Guo Songling's 8th Mixed Brigade.

Under the oppression of the Feng army, Wu Peifu also quickly mobilized his army and prepared to meet the battle. At that time, Wu Peifu's troops were distributed as follows: Wu Peifu, commander of the West Road, led Dong Zhenguo's 13th Mixed Brigade and Sun Yue's 15th Mixed Brigade to attack Changxindian, and Zhang Xiyuan's 4th Mixed Brigade was a reserve; In the middle route, Wang Chengbin was the commander, leading the 45th Brigade of the 23rd Division and the 6th Brigade of Yang Qingchen of the 3rd Division to attack Xin'an from Baxian; On the east road, with Peng Shouxin as the commander, he led the 14th Mixed Brigade and a brigade of the 26th Division to attack Baiyang Bridge. In addition, Feng Yu led the 11th Division and Hu Jingyi, Jin Yunhe and other troops to Henan to monitor the Henan warlord Zhao Qi, who had colluded with the Feng department, and Zhang Fulai and other troops were reinforcements, and their total strength was not less than 120,000. Of course, if you look at the map, it is not difficult to find that although the number of direct troops is similar to that of the Feng line, the territory of the direct line is much wider, and there are many more places that need to be defended.

On April 29, 1922, just as Lu Dujun was anxiously urging those naval masters from Fujian to go to Jiangsu to receive new ships, the Zhifeng War, which had been grinding for more than a month, officially began.
