Early the next morning, Jiang Boqing, who was in the dust, rushed back to the Quzhou Administration and reported everything when he saw Lu Zhongxiu.

Lu Zhongxiu was extremely shocked, he never dreamed that Wu Ming's movements would be so fast, and his tactics would be so ingenious, and he would even praise Wu Ming's elusive tactics and strong combat effectiveness.

Jiang Boqing smiled bitterly: "He didn't let us go up the mountain to search, and after the last fire, he burned all the houses in Yinzhu Temple and the surrounding areas, and the fire was not extinguished until yesterday morning, and his subordinates didn't know if he found anything from the bandit cave, but he definitely got all the stolen money and goods from Lu Chengrong's department." ”

Lu Zhongxiu pondered for a long time, sighed and explained in a low voice: "Let him go, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, even if he gets the evidence of the Liao family's collusion with the bandits, it will not have much impact on us, anyway, Lu Chengrong and the more than 400 stubborn bandits have been beheaded, and there is no proof of death, what are we worried about?" ”

"In my opinion, the reason why Wu Ming came here is nothing more than to force us to fulfill the conditions we promised before, give him and wait patiently for him for a few days, if the bandits in the north really surrender to him, tell him that the task is complete, and let him lead his troops back to Changshan."

Jiang Boqing hurriedly reminded: "There are still three bandits in Suichang that have not been exterminated."

Lu Zhongxiu asked unhappily: "The stubborn bandits in the Qianligang area have all been wiped out, are you still worried about the rabble in Suichang?" Didn't you and Chen Qian learn something from Wu Ming? The most important thing is that you can be sure that the bandits around Suichang are not secretly colluding with those idiots in the county government and police station? Do you still want Wu Ming to fish in troubled waters? ”

Jiang Boqing's heart sank, and he replied loudly with his legs and chest: "My subordinates understand"

Lu Zhongxiu nodded slightly: "Let's get the check and rush back to Shangshang Town, bear with it for a few more days, don't anger Wu Ming, let him be proud for a few days for the time being, and after the matter calms down, everything will be easy to do." ”

"Yes"

Three days later, under the persuasion of Li Kun and Zhang Dongning, the three bandits in the Qianligang Mountains surrendered, of which more than 420 young bandits were recruited by Wu Ming, and the rest of the bandits, big and small, were allowed to take their savings to live in various places, and the bandits who had plagued the 300-mile radius north of Quzhou for many years have since disappeared.

Wu Ming got the hush money and the bonus for suppressing the bandits, and immediately led his brothers back to Changshan, and the Quzhou Administration quickly issued a notice of success, claiming that the officers and soldiers of the border guards, under the leadership of deputy commander Jiang Boqing and chief of staff Chen Qian, exterminated in one fell swoop the bandit Lu Chengrong and other troops who had been entrenched in the hinterland of Qianligang for many years.

On the day the announcement was issued, Jiang Boqing, deputy commander of the Quzhou Frontier Command, and Chen Qian, chief of staff, led the officers and men of the three regiments south to Suichang.

It didn't take long for shocking news to come out of the green forest roads in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and Anhui provinces:

Lu Chengrong's second master, Zhang Zanxu's family and Lu Chengrong's wife, children, younger brothers and sisters did not die, and they all let the righteous Wu Ming quietly let them go, and it was not Wu Ming who was famous in the three provinces who cut off the heads of Lu Chengrong and other heroes, but Jiang Boqing, deputy commander of the Quzhou Frontier Command......

Lu Kuiyuan, who led the three new regiments directly into the Phoenix Mountain training base, regimental staff officers Dai Ziran and Zhao Rongsheng, and medical officer Shi Difu all returned, Wu Ming finally completely relieved himself after listening to their reports, and more than 4,000 recruits performed well in the nine consecutive days of marching and training, although the officers and men were generally very tired, but under the full guidance of the experienced Steve ambulance team, there were no injuries or illnesses that exceeded expectations.

It has been more than half a month since the training class of the Quzhou Central Party Department began, and Wu Ming, as the chief military instructor, only sent three regimental staff officers and two non-commissioned officers of firearms to guide him, and he himself did not go to see it once, but Zhou Wenyan, director of the Quzhou Party Department and director of the Quzhou training base, heard that he had completed the task of suppressing bandits, so he drove directly to the Changshan military camp.

Wu Ming saw that Zhou Wenyan, who was uncertain, was holding a meeting, and he knew his intention in his heart, and immediately threw all the formulation of training + planning and special training丨 selection and other affairs to the deputy head of the regiment Long Shaogang and the regimental staff officer Dai Ziran.

Zhou Wenyan asked angrily: "It's really a good opportunity, do you need me to call Minister Chen and Director Xu and say that you don't plan to perform your duties?" ”

Wu Ming smiled: "Don't be angry, I'm planning to finish the business at hand and rush to Quzhou tomorrow to report to you...... You also know that I have been so busy for more than half a month that my feet have not touched the ground, didn't I just come back from the bandits? If you really want to blame, you have to blame the group of corpse vegetarian guys in the Quzhou Administration. ”

Zhou Wenyan's face looked much better, and he complained: "The reception work of the Quzhou Administration is really not good, it is far from when you were there, if it weren't for Lu Zhongxiu personally going to the camp in the north of the city and making a guarantee on the spot, I'm afraid that the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the eight hundred students in this period will not be improved." Those teachers in the party department are all thinking about you. ”

Wu Ming sat down: "Isn't it just to send out some souvenirs?" No problem, I'll give you a list when I go back, the Browning NlUj pistols imitated by the metal products factory are very good, and the Eighteenth Army that is resting here has bought three hundred, as well as all kinds of exquisite knives and new marching kettles, etc., just tick what you like, and I'll do it. But there is no way to make clothes, you also know that the clothing factory has been transferred to the Confucian family in Quzhou, although my wife also opened a small workshop in Changshan, but there are too few people, can only meet the needs of our army. ”

"It's enough, how much money can you help me cushion first, and I will make up for it when the funds above are allocated in the second half of the year." Zhou Wenyan was very satisfied, he knew that Wu Ming was very righteous to himself, and by helping himself solve these trivial and trivial problems, he could earn face for himself in the group of old guys in the party department and the students in various provinces across the country.

Wu Ming glanced at him: "Don't mention money, okay?" Little brother, I'm so poor now that I only have money left, it's painful."

Zhou Wenyan laughed: "You dare to say this, so I can look back and see how I cheated you, okay, I drank the tea, and I said it, will you rush back to Quzhou with me?" ”

"Now? Will it work tomorrow? The younger brother led the troops back to have a meeting, and he hasn't gone home yet. Wu Ming was reluctant.

Zhou Wenyan immediately sank his face: "I'm just waiting here for you to go home and say hello, I must rush back to Quzhou today, and tomorrow morning I need you to preside over the military skills test of the cadets, this matter can not be delayed indefinitely, and after the test is completed, the next training and study plan needs to be formulated." ”

Wu Ming shook his head again and again: "I said, what are you doing all day long dancing knives and guns in party affairs?" Just let the students of the two classes of intelligence and confidential learn it, and at most add a responsible file management class, and the rest is not necessary, right? ”

"This is a clear requirement of the Central Party Department, not my personal intention, so you and I must strictly implement it." Zhou Wenyan replied solemnly.

Wu Ming could only compromise: "Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll go back and say hello to my wife first, inside is my lounge, you can go in and lie down when you're tired, if you're really bored, you can go outside for a walk, my subordinates basically know you, walk around casually, and you can also go up and talk when you meet the brothers of the Eighteenth Army." ”

Zhou Wenyan nodded, continued to sit there drinking tea, picked up the newspaper on the side and opened it, and didn't know why Wu Ming said so much nonsense, but he waited for more than three hours.

Seeing that it was almost dark Wu Ming hadn't come yet, Zhou Wenyan, who had already read five newspapers and visited the regimental hospital, was a little annoyed, and was just about to walk to his car, when Wu Ming, who was riding the ugly horse, appeared in his field of vision.

Wu Ming threw the reins to the adjutant Han Tiecheng, and told him not to follow, but to assist Dai Ziran at home in formulating training + rowing, and then untied the big backpack on the horse's back, threw it into the back seat of the car, opened the front door and sat in the passenger seat, closed the door and took out a cigarette.

The car drove out of the barracks gate, and soon drove across the highway bridge into the sparsely populated eastern suburbs, and Zhou Wenyan, who was driving, sighed: "You kid made me wait, it's been three and a half hours, and my son is about to be born, right?" ”

Wu Mingha laughed: "Husband and wife Dunlun people are normal, where is as blessed as you, my sister-in-law accompanies you every day, and my little niece is also very well-behaved, in comparison, I am really miserable, meeting my wife is like a war, I need to pinch the time to do things, it's really a headache"

Zhou Wenyan couldn't help but laugh, and after laughing, he scolded Wu Ming for having no skin and no face, Wu Ming didn't care, the two talked and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the camp in the north of Quzhou City.

Wu Ming did not choose the small room left for him by the party school, but lived in the front of the front of the Provincial Security Department Front-line Headquarters, the wide courtyard back door leads directly to the west area of the camp, there is a row of fully equipped officer dormitories with toilets, Wu Ming waved away the left-behind officers who came to help, and carried his luggage directly into the spacious suite in the innermost.

It was the first time for Zhou Wenyan to enter this courtyard guarded by sentinels in the front and back, and when he saw that there were trees and flowers in the yard, Wu Ming's brand-new special car was parked under the big tree, and he knew that Wu Ming had already arranged everything.

Entering the spacious and luxurious suite living room, the complete furnishings and quiet atmosphere made Zhou Wenyan envious: "The conditions here are too good, and there is a special telephone, it won't be your exclusive room, right?" ”

"You guessed it right, it's the little brother's special room...... After returning from the Jiangxi front, the people of the provincial security department were withdrawn one after another, and the younger brother was ordered to take over, and the remaining personnel were also replaced by a guard company temporarily formed by the younger brother. If you like it, and there is a vacant house next to it, how about I decorate it for you? Wu Ming said with a smile.

"Forget it"

Zhou Wenyan was a little moved, but finally shook his head: "The small courtyard I live in now is wide enough, and I don't need it." Don't be busy yet, go to dinner, before I went to find you, I told your sister-in-law to let her cook a few more dishes, I guess she is still waiting for us to eat, fill your stomach. ”
