*****************************
On the morning of the next day, Wu Ming led his troops to enter the Ma army camp outside the north gate, passed through the gate where only half of the square stone pillar remained, and entered the wide camp area.
From time to time you can see the ruins hidden among the thorns and tangled vines, the big trees everywhere are covered with morning glories and parasitic plants, flocks of birds are crying happily, the cries and fights of chickens are incessant, there is a herd of free-range pigs near the road to the southeast, and a few sheep grazing under the big trees not far away.
After traveling more than 100 meters, he finally came to the front of two rows of old blue brick and gray tile barracks, Wu Ming found that the front and back of the barracks were clean, the ground that had just been filled with loess was quite smooth, and the ancient wellhead between the two rows of barracks was paved with stone slabs, and the green tiles on the roof of the barracks could see the traces that had just been turned over, which was very neat and tight, and it seemed that Gu Yueheng, the quartermaster of the quartermaster, was really interesting enough to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming instructed the brothers to disband and rest, raised their legs and entered the first barracks, and found that the inside was clean, the sturdy bunk made of new wooden planks still exuded a good smell of wood, and a long foreign iron barrel was neatly placed under the bunk, and in the middle of the barracks there was a long table five meters long and one meter wide, all of which were made of hardwood one inch thick, and near the inner side of the door against the wall, there was a solid wood gun carriage more than seven meters long, and each barracks could easily accommodate 50 people.
After looking at the first barracks, Wu Ming walked to the second room, Zhang Dongning, Lu Kuiyuan and Lei Peng followed, and carefully inspected all the two rows of houses and six barracks.
"Brothers, from today onwards, this is our territory, although the surrounding area is still very desolate, but I believe that with our hands and our efforts, we will be able to build our barracks into the best military training base in Quzhou! Next, the squad leader led his brothers into the barracks according to the order of the class, today's training was suspended and changed, the brothers can wash clothes, write family letters, can move freely around, and can also learn to ride horses, but no one is allowed to move, nor is it allowed to leave the camp, and it is disbanded! ”
The brothers were overjoyed, Wu Ming took Lu Kuiyuan to the small courtyard in the center of the rear, and found that this small courtyard was basically intact, revealing the charm of Jiangnan architecture everywhere, inside and out, together with the two rows of utility rooms in the backyard, the horse ring and the martial arts training ground in the middle were well repaired.
After walking around and returning to the front hall, Zhang Dongning said happily: "This place is really good, the two big trees in front and back have grown for at least fifty years, the blue brick courtyard wall is basically intact, all the furniture and beds in the room are new, even the bookcase is there, I think in addition to the small place, it is much stronger than the large courtyard of Commander Fang's house!" ”
"Yes, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I always feel bad when I live in the headquarters." Lei Peng doesn't seem to be used to a crowded environment.
Wu Ming became interested: "Kui Yuan, what do you think?" ”
Lu Kuiyuan unleashed the shell gun: "I don't care, it's the same everywhere, isn't it a place to sleep?" ”
Wu Mingha smiled, knowing why the three brothers of Lu Dao would have such thoughts for Lu, Zhang Dongning was delicate and sensitive, and he was observant, Lei Peng was introverted and shy in action, and only Lu Kuiyuan, a reckless man, had the strongest adaptability.
There was a "chirping" sound of the wheels outside, Wu Ming came out to take a look, and found that Gu Yueheng, the quartermaster chief, was riding a horse and leading his soldiers to three fully loaded carriages, followed by Fang Youchun's guard Fan Maolin, and hurriedly took the three of them out to greet him.
Gu Yueheng, who was riding on a horse, smiled from afar: "You guy came out with troops early in the morning, so I deliberately ran again, don't stand!" Let's move things together, the four treasures of the study, as well as the four large boxes of books you want, as well as the fifteen brand-new Type 38 rifles and five boxes of ammunition specially approved by the commander, and the other two cars are specially given to you for daily necessities, pots and pans and half a month's military rations have been pulled to the front of the barracks door. ”
Wu Ming thanked him with a smile, and turned to Fan Maolin: "Maolin, why are you here too?" It can't be the commander who has something to do with me, right? ”
Fan Maolin smiled: "Let's see how you are here, if it's good, maybe our teaching team will move over in the future, you also know that the camp of the Dao Command is tight, and the barracks are not enough!" ”
Wu Ming was stunned, and Gu Yueheng hurriedly said: "Maolin also brings you good news, Dongning and Kuiyuan's warrant officer ranks, and Lei Peng's non-commissioned officer ranks. ”
Zhang Dongning and the three were pleasantly surprised, and Wu Ming was also very happy: "Inside, ...... Dongning, you go to the front barracks and call a squad to come over to unload the goods, Kui Yuan and Lei Peng also help, it is not easy for the brothers of the quartermaster department to walk such a long way. ”
Zhang Dongning and the others happily agreed, and Wu Ming invited Gu Yueheng and Fan Maolin into the front hall: "Sit casually, there is no fire so there is no tea to drink, bear with it!" Don't stand still, why are you so polite? ”
Fan Maolin suddenly had a smile on his face, and sat down happily until Wu Ming started.
"Look at these, they're all good furniture! Brother Gu, don't talk about Xie Luxie's words, let's not talk about it, I invite you to Jufeng Garden for a drink another day. Wu Ming said with a smile.
Gu Yueheng waved his hand: "Don't drink it, drink it with you twice, I vomited twice when I got home, so that my mother-in-law scolded me so much that I didn't dare to go home." ”
Fan Maolin couldn't help laughing, and Wu Ming asked about the matter: "Brother Gu, you are well-informed, let's talk about the new commissioner Lu Zhongxiu." At the end of the morning exercise, I heard several staff officers of the headquarters say that Commissioner Lu had brought the latest instructions from the provincial security department and planned to readjust the establishment of the security forces. ”
Gu Yueheng nodded: "Is there such a thing...... Last night, I accompanied the commander, Deputy Commander Tang and the two chiefs of staff to a banquet for Commissioner Lu, and during the banquet, I heard him mention it, and also handed the commander a relevant document of the provincial security department, but it seems that it has little impact on our western Zhejiang, and the biggest change is estimated to be the renaming of the western Zhejiang security command to the Quzhou security command. ”
"That's it? Doesn't sound like a need? Wu Ming was a little strange.
Gu Yueheng shook his head: "Not only these, there are two problems that Commissioner Lu said, and there is that the establishment of the security forces in the provinces of the country is chaotic now, not to mention the two Guangzhou, southwestern, northwest and northern provinces, you also know that the central government of Ludao can't control them, and the princes who support their own troops on one side won't listen, only say that the provinces in the Yangtze River basin that the central government can manage, the establishment of local troops has not been unified and standardized, such as Anhui, their security forces are not regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons, but take detachments, brigades, squadrons, etc., Hunan, Hubei and Jiangsu have two kinds of establishments, and Henan simply uses the two brands of security forces and regular army numbers together. ”
"Only our Zhejiang and Jiangxi follow the establishment of the regular army, and for many years, only officers have military ranks, and they belong to regular military personnel, and soldiers are not considered regular soldiers regardless of the length of service, but can only be regarded as local village bravery, and they have always come and gone when they are called, so the security forces in this province have never had any combat effectiveness."
"But the provincial government seems to be scared after the 918 incident, and now the Japanese are making trouble in Shanghai again, and it is rumored everywhere that the Japanese army is going to invade Shanghai, and attack Nanjing along the Yangtze River. However, the military salary was about one-third less than that of the Central Army. ”
Now Wu Ming finally figured it out: "This is a good thing!" What I am most afraid of is the problem of establishment, I am worried that I have worked hard to train the troops, and as soon as the big hat of the Central Army is pressed, our troops will be snatched over, and the change of clothes will become theirs. ”
Gu Yueheng deeply agreed: "This incident has not happened a lot, not to mention that last year, the Central Army transferred more than 15,000 officers and soldiers of the security forces from this province to supplement its own consumption, that is, the two Central Army Guard Divisions that had just been expanded also transferred six regiments from the Zhejiang Security Forces, if it weren't for the fact that we were at the forefront of suppressing the Communist Party in western Zhejiang, we could only strengthen and not weaken, I am afraid that one or two regiments would have been forcibly withdrawn two months ago!" ”
"Brother Wu, I don't know what others think, but you don't have to worry, the commander will never allow the Central Army to withdraw our teaching team." Fan Maolin said with a smile.
Wu Ming frowned: "Maolin, do you just want to be the deputy captain of the teaching team of more than 100 people in your life?" ”
"Huh? When I didn't say it! Hey hey ......"
Fan Maolin was embarrassed on his face, but he was very happy in his heart, he knew that it was very correct to teach the team, and as the training deepened step by step, he realized more and more Wu Ming's extraordinary ability, at least the training syllabus of the teaching team compiled by Wu Ming has been widely praised.
Gu Yueheng looked at it and smiled: "I almost forgot something, Brother Ma asked me to tell you, he found out all the textbooks for further study in Baoding Military Academy that year, but there was no way to get the new textbooks of the Nanjing Central Military Academy, and I don't know if the Central Military Academy of Ludao has textbooks such as engineer manuals and infantry tactics compiled by moral advisers, I can only help you ask your friends in the Nanjing military circles, it is estimated that it will take a while to have news." ”
Wu Ming was very grateful: "Trouble Brother Ma!" You know that I haven't studied military affairs, and if I don't hurry up and learn some fur, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself then! ”
"Come on, you, if you don't understand military affairs, who dares to say that he understands military affairs?"
Gu Yueheng was very relieved of Wu Ming: "There is one more thing, I will go to Hangzhou tomorrow on a business trip, get the approval document for self-purchase of weapons, and then go to Shanghai by the way, and buy back the sewing machines and the first batch of fabrics from our quilt factory. ”
Wu Ming hurriedly added: "I have something to ask you, you go to the Great China Rubber Company in Shanghai, they are the best and largest rubber enterprises in China, and the two kinds of sports rubber shoes and raincoats produced are good, can you help me see if the rubber-soled canvas military shoes they produce can produce brown or green?" Then there is a trip to the public concession to see if the latest style of American Chevrolet one-and-a-half-ton pickup truck mentioned in the newspaper is in stock? If there is, you ask them to send five cars, and tomorrow morning I will bring you a cash check from the Bank of China for 20,000 yuan, and the newspaper advertisement says that it is 3,200 oceans for one car, and I estimate that buying five cars at a time can drive down the price. ”
Gu Yue Hengda was shocked: "The 200,000 yuan borrowed by the commander has not yet arrived in the account, where did you get the money?" ”
"Don't ask, I can still afford this little money, and when the day after tomorrow the Belgian foreign firm Ai Youde arrives, I will also order a batch of machine tools and steel from him, if he can help me connect with the European and American arms dealers in Shanghai, I will spend twice as much!" Wu Ming said very seriously.
Fan Maolin and Gu Yueheng looked at each other in astonishment, and Gu Yueheng asked again, "Your money can't fall from the sky, right?" ”
Wu Mingle said: "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't tell you, the day before yesterday I took the opportunity to purchase on the street, and took two pieces of fluorite ore brought from Maoliangwu to the Japanese trading company on Xinqiao Street to ask, the Maeda Akio from Nagoya, Japan almost jumped up, and even said that he didn't expect to see such pure fluorite in Quzhou, and asked me from which mining area? I didn't tell him, I didn't talk deeply, hang him first, tomorrow I will hand over three pieces of fluorite ore to you, you take to Shanghai Lihe, Yihe, Qichang three foreign firms, as far as I know, these three European and American foreign companies have been buying a large number of fluorite ore from our western Zhejiang and Hunan, you don't need to say much, just send them directly, I believe there will always be one to come to me. ”
Gu Yueheng was dumbfounded when he heard this: "This is your capital?" ”
Wu Ming nodded: "More than that, let's do this well first and then talk about the rest, as long as a European and American foreign firm comes to the door, I will take him to Maoliangwu to take a look at the field, and make an assessment report on reserves and exploitation, and then ask Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou to go to Hangzhou to find Hu Jianzhong, editor-in-chief of the provincial party newspaper, as a major discovery and government achievements to publicize, and when the momentum is created, I will ask Deputy Commander Tang for help, so that he and I can take the Maoliangwu fluorite mine to the Quzhou branch of the Bank of China as collateral, and the president is his brother-in-law, It is estimated that it will not be a problem to borrow four or five hundred thousand, so don't worry that I have no money, I am afraid that you will have to go to Shanghai several times a month in the future. ”
Gu Yueheng's whole mind was already messed up, and Fan Maolin asked excitedly, "It turns out that you have planned it a long time ago?" ”
Wu Ming nodded very honestly: "Of course, why don't I spend more than 50,000 yuan to order two high-horsepower transport ships?" In these years, the starving and the timid are dying of boldness, and the business of making a fortune is everywhere, but most people don't see the opportunity, and few of them think further! ”
"By the way, Maolin, tomorrow you have nothing to do, you come with me to the Confucian Temple, I still have a few bloodstones here, two night pearls, see how much money can be exchanged, I'm poor and crazy now."
