Of course, Long Qian didn't know about the plans of several big figures in Jinan who were destined to be written into history. Since the Battle of Autumn Village, a large part of Long Qian's energy has been transferred to the economy. For military training, he now has several very effective assistants, Lu Shan, Ning Shijun, and several battalion commanders, all of whom are good at training. After the Battle of Qiucun, Zhou Yi, who was in charge of logistics by Long Qian, seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his positioning, and he also focused a lot of energy on military training, because Feng Lun of the third battalion was injured, Zhou Yi "surrendered his identity" to the acting battalion commander of the third battalion, and Long Qian did not object. His core team is in the construction period, and everyone's talents and characteristics have not yet been finalized, but Long Qian is willing to let his assistants go through different positions to train.

For the battle, Long Qian admired Lu Shan's astuteness and decisiveness, in the battle of Zhuang and the battle of Qiucun, Lu Shan twice showed strong decisiveness, Long Qian believed that this is the most valuable quality of a military commander. Compared with Lu Shan, several of his oldest team: Feng Guozhu is more balanced in all aspects, in other words, he has good execution, but poor adaptability. If it weren't for Lu Shan sitting in the fourth battalion this time, the battle would not be like this. Another cronie, Wang Mingyuan, showed a kind of resilience, although the second battalion was greatly damaged this time, Long Qian believed that after this battle, the combat effectiveness of the second battalion would be raised to a higher level. Long Qian went to see Wang Mingyuan, who was recuperating in the infirmary every other day, his right shoulder was injured and needed a long time to rest and recover. A strong army is fought, not raised. Therefore, you don't have to care about the casualties of the second battalion, this time give priority to replenishing the second battalion, and when you are healed, you will be given a vigorous second battalion.

These three people are Long Qian's oldest military team. For Ye Yanbing and Feng Lun, Long Qian felt that Feng Lun was stronger than Ye Yanbing, Feng Lun's temperament was more ruthless than Ye Yanbing, and his training was also strict. But Ye Yanbing is good at learning and seems to prefer to fight skillfully. This time, the performance of the first battalion was mediocre, and it was a little less successful than the other three battalions, because the first battalion did not participate in the series of battles after the mountain ambush battle. In the post-war evaluation, the first battalion received the least number of awards, which is also deserved. But the casualties of the first battalion were also minimal. Long Qian noticed that Ye Yanbing took his company platoon commander to the battlefield of the hand-to-hand battle in the east of Zhaojialou to observe the terrain, and felt relieved.

A person, as long as he works hard, there will always be progress.

This battle has boosted the morale of the whole army! This was especially true when Long Qian deliberately talked about the history of the founding of Yuan Shikai's small station new army at the officers' meeting. It has been almost five years since the founding of the army, and we have not been around for less than a year. However, in the hard-fought battle, the Mengshan army still did not fall behind, which shows that Commander Long's method of governing the army is completely effective. The Battle of Qiucun brought about the worship of Long Qian, the commander, believing that as long as Commander Long planned and commanded, there was no enemy that the Mengshan Army could not win.

Except for the temporary reduction in the number of people, the strength of the Mengshan army has increased! First of all, there is an abundance of weapons and ammunition, and there is more than one rifle man, and the ammunition has also been greatly improved. Moreover, more than 2,000 grenades, four artillery pieces and 300 shells were captured, excluding rifles and bullets. Because it was a night battle, the loss of grenades was very small, and with the defeat of the official army, most of them fell into the hands of the Mengshan army. Therefore, Long Qian deliberately strengthened his training in the use of grenades and formed his own artillery.

Compared to infantry, artillery is a complete technical job. Including Long Qian, no one in the Mengshan Army could operate artillery. However, this all-powerful commander Long, he took the officers to the field to test the artillery, and the cannon really fired! Looking at the smoke rising from the opposite hillside, the officers of the Mengshan Army were jubilant.

Long Qian smiled and said, "I'm fighting blindly, I don't have the right head at all, it's okay to scare people, but it's far from really used in battle." Each battalion drew five good soldiers to form our artillery team. Teacher, it's in the prisoner camp! Da Shou, Yulin, you two follow Chief of Staff Ning and find a way to convert those artillery prisoners! It doesn't matter to the others, these artillerymen, but baby! As you can see, the aiming of a cannon is not like that of a rifle, and its range is not comparable to that of a rifle, which requires advanced mathematical knowledge, and it is not just passion and courage to be able to point and shoot! ”

On the one hand, he judged that the officers and soldiers would never give up, on the other hand, he was not like Ning Shijun, who was always worried that the officers and soldiers would suddenly appear outside the village, thinking that even if they came to attack again, they would not be able to prepare for a month. He won't say this to anyone, on the one hand, there is Jiang Yun's intelligence department, on the other hand, he knows the current situation better than all the officers, Yuan Shikai said that there are 20,000 elite soldiers, but it is not easy to really gather thousands of people. Therefore, he instructed that the conversion of the captives must be done slowly and not in a hurry. It is even more important not to be like the peasant army of the previous dynasties, coercing a group of people with different aspirations to go to the battlefield, except for strengthening the momentum, it is of no use at all, and some are only side effects -- in the face of unfavorable war conditions, it is inevitable to turn against the water.

"What I want is to join the Mengshan Army from body to mind, just like you, not to be detached. I really don't want to, I don't force it. ”

"Do you want to release them? There are indeed some die-hards among them, and I suggest that they be divided into separate detentions, otherwise it will not be easy to do. Shi Dashou said.

"It's a good idea. It is not possible to release them, these people will be the backbone of the official army after they go back, and they will definitely retaliate, at least they must beat the officers and soldiers to lose their temper and be willing to talk to us calmly. It's all strong labor, and I have a place to use them. ”

The place where Long Qian was going to take prisoners was a small coal kiln. Just north of Shiyuan Village, several people died due to the landslide and were abandoned, Long Qian heard Luo Tongxiu talk about it, went to see it in person, and decided to restore this coal kiln.

Winter is here, and the climate in the mountains is already dripping with ice at night. Long Qian found that most of the houses did not have heating facilities, and firewood was used for cooking, and when the rice was cooked, the hearth was extinguished. The inside of the house is the same temperature as the outside. So at noon, I always go to the sunny place to bask in the sun to keep warm. Only a very small number of wealthy households, such as the Zheng family, such as Chen Chao's family, have coal, but it is also extremely unscientific to use it.

"There is coal in Lunan, and there is a large coal mine in Zaozhuang in the south. It stands to reason that it is normal to have coal here. If the coal kiln is developed, it will be guaranteed to solve the heating of the surrounding villages, so why should it be abolished? Long Qian asked Chen Chao.

"Poor, how many can afford coal? In addition, it can't be transported out of the digging area. In addition, the coal kiln collapsed and killed several people, and some accidents occurred, so it was naturally abandoned. Chen Chao pulled the charcoal fire with an iron hook and looked at Long Qian and Ning Shijun, "What, are you going to restore the coal kiln?" ”

"Well, in everything in the world, people's livelihood comes first. Not for others, but for yourself. I want to raise some shares and set up a coal kiln. I'm looking for you today to ask you to give me an idea. ”

"Hey, I haven't run a coal kiln, where do I have an idea for you? If you ask, you have to go to the rocks, they understand. ”

"It's not appropriate for me to go. It's up to you, the head of the autonomous committee," Long Qian said with a smile, "If you put people first in everything, someone will be easy to do." The coal diggers are ready, and I have hundreds of strong offspring in my hands, and I can't let them eat idle. ”

Chen Chao naturally knew that what Long Qian was talking about was the hundreds of captured officers and soldiers, "Think back, I am obsessed with how old you are, although I don't know as much as you, but I still have to say a few words about you, and there is no result in going against the government." You can beat them once, you can't beat them a second time, you can't beat them a third time! Now that so many children have joined your team in the surrounding villages, and the villagers recognize you, you can't watch your children sent into the fire pit, right? Those prisoners, let's let them go, and make peace with the government, maybe it's just the right time. ”

Long Qian let go of Cai Chengxun and brought a letter to Yuan Shikai, only a few people knew about it, Chen Chao didn't know, Long Qian smiled and said, "Do you think the government will make peace with me?" ”

"If you win, it will be possible to make peace. I have some friends of the same year who work in the government, and if you can trust me, I can run for you. ”

"Brother Yue, you're talking. Only by fighting can we make peace, which is a principle that is not easy for the ages. We have known each other for a long time, how can Long be a human being, is he a villain who only wants to be rich and prosperous regardless of his subordinates? Rest assured, the fate of the Mengshan Army is not in my absence, and it is better to ask for others than for yourself. When Brother Yue needs to go out, Long Qian will ask for it. Well, it's too early. Let's talk about our coal mine, I see that the villagers are having a hard time in winter, guarding the golden bowl and begging for food, there is no reason for this. If it is convenient for you, you can go to Shiyuan, contact some people who know about coal mining, and everyone will pay together to restore the coal kiln, and the coal dug up will be bought at the market price. ”

"It's okay, it's okay__Shiyuan Village won't object if you want to__" Chen Chao looked at Long Qian, he thought that Long Qian had seen Long Qian lead people to renovate the heating method of Zheng's study, but he didn't expect Long Qian to be a plasterer to build a stove himself, and the renovated house was indeed very warm. During this time, Song Jinguo has been leading people to do this, and the houses where their team lives (mostly landlords' houses) have been renovated, and the effect is excellent. However, it is estimated that there is a shortage of coal, so the idea of a small abandoned coal kiln in Shiyuan was started.

Ning Shijun didn't quite understand what Long Qian was doing. During this time, his energy was focused on the renovation of heating facilities, and he threatened to let everyone have a warm winter. Is this necessary? The officers and troops may come over tomorrow, in case a large number of troops press the border, according to the combat principle that Long Qian has always said, if people lose land, people and land will be saved, and people and land will be lost. That is to say, the troops may also withdraw from the Zhengjiazhuang area. However, he handed over the military training to the following, and in addition to training artillery, he was busy heating and repairing houses, as if he was about to take root here.

"In that case, let's bother Brother Yue to go!" Long Qian and Ning Shijun got up to say goodbye.

After crossing the wooden bridge, Ning Shijun was puzzled, "Why are you building a coal kiln?" Is it necessary? There is a house to live in, there is firewood to burn, and people will not freeze to death. Officers and soldiers__"

"When the enemy comes, let's pick up guns and fight. When the enemy is gone, let's use our brains to engage in the economy. Why did you let Chen Chao go? Some things are still easier for them to come forward and do it. Shi Jun, Mengshan Army is our foundation, but she is not just a combat team, she must learn to live and earn money. Our people, who understand the economy, know too little about building. You, chief of staff, can't just think about war in your head! Still haven't realized it yet? Half of the army's combat effectiveness is supported by logistics! ”

After a long time out of Mengshan Mountain, the high-level of the Mengshan Army felt more and more that their boss was clever. Ning Shijun is one of them. Think of the days at the cottage last winter, and now it's paradise. The current so-called high-level people were all small people in Mengshanzhai at the beginning, and the highest positions were Zhou Yi and Long Qian, they were better captains, and their food and accommodation were guaranteed, so their lives were difficult. It all depends on burning firewood for heating, because the poor accommodation makes people freeze to death, especially at night, it is simply miserable. Where is it like this winter? Especially the house of the injured and sick was built with charcoal fire in advance, and the house was as warm as spring. Because the injured lived comfortably and ate well, they died very little and recovered quickly. And the problem of desertion, which was difficult to avoid, is now almost gone.
