After some consideration, I felt that temporarily not moving the Xu family army was more in line with the current situation in Gannan than sending a large army to conquer. Ning Qingyuan also accepted the suggestion of the chief of the secret service and sent a counselor from the governor's palace to accompany the intelligence chief in the identity of an entourage. Let's go to Orange City together to explore the bottom of this leader of the Xu family's army.

If the other party is willing to join the Gannan Army, then in the current situation that is not good for the Gannan Army, Ning Qingyuan can sell some of the interests of the Linzhou Mansion. In short, there is no money, but it can be tacitly acquiesced to the expansion of the Xu family's army and the encroachment of some territory. Of course, in order to avoid Xu Jiajun getting out of control in the future, the bottom line that Ning Qingyuan gave to the director of the secret service in the choice of territory was that there would be at most three counties as big as Orange City.

If the other party is ambitious enough to devour a Linzhou capital, unless he is willing to come up with money or other materials to offset the bill. Otherwise, Ning Qingyuan would rather squeeze out a large army and teach this Xu Jiajun a lesson, rather than inject the other party's endless greed.

Xu Bin, who didn't know that an artillery drill could still get this effect, was moving to Baifu, where he lived in Orange City, as a guest. Discuss with the former leader of Baijiazhai about the arrangements for him and other leaders.

Bai Diantang, who is in his golden age, is naturally unwilling to be so young, so he hides in the city and becomes a small rich man. On the contrary, he longed for a regular military life, so he proposed to join the Xu family's army. You can lead a training haode army, even if the position is lower.

The prospective father-in-law was unwilling to be lonely, and he wanted to change his identity to feel the war again, and there was no excitement, so Xu Bin, as a son-in-law and the leader of the Xu family's army, was naturally not easy to refuse. Moreover, this time Baijiazhai was able to accept the reorganization peacefully, and to a large extent, Bai Diantang made a lot of efforts. In this regard, Xu Bin, who has always repaid his kindness, will naturally not treat Bai Diantang badly.

He gave Bai Diantang two choices, one was to serve as the commander of the city defense battalion in Orange City, and the other was to serve as the acting commander of the second regiment of recruits who were about to end their training. Of course, it is known that this prospective father-in-law has a good level of education, but his military command ability is somewhat lacking.

His idea was that, during his time as acting head of the regiment, he would learn from the experienced Debon officers' advisory corps about formalized military command operations. As long as he is in the agency, he can be recognized by the officers of these advisory groups. Then he will be able to become the commander of the second regiment of recruits that will be formed.

At the same time, in order to take care of Baidiantang, the Baijiazhai recruits who joined the new regiment after the reorganization will also become the independent battalion of the new second regiment and will be incorporated under the command of Baidiantang. In this way, the strength of the new second regiment of Baidiantang is more than that of the other main regiments, and the number of independent battalions has reached more than 1,500 people.

For the two positions given by Xu Bin, to be honest, Bai Diantang was a little flattered. According to his idea, it is to become a battalion and company commander in the unit below, and learn to transition for a period of time. When he is really familiar with the life of this regular army, then he believes that Xu Bin will give him a higher position.

Now all of a sudden, he got the position of acting head of a super-organized group, and Bai Diantang knew it. The sincerity he paid before was rewarded with the most haode. And being able to lead his brothers to fight again is undoubtedly more in line with the taste of the White Palace.

After learning that Bai Diantang had chosen the position of acting head of the new Second Regiment, Xu Bin quickly asked him to go to the officer training class opened in the training mountain for a period of training before the new Second Regiment was formally established. Among the ten leaders of the original Baijiazhai like him, except for two leaders over the age of 50, they were persuaded by Xu Bin to take up the positions in government affairs under his command.

The remaining eight leaders, in addition to receiving regular army training on the one hand, are also being stuffed into the officer training course for training. When they have completed their training, Xu Bin will be given the corresponding military positions according to their graduation results. In this way, the other soldiers can be convinced, and there will be no inability to kill the three armies.

is responsible for scoring them, but in official affairs, even Xu Bin's opinions often contradict the Debang military advisers. Therefore, this method also eliminates the situation of fraud and self-interest as much as possible.

It is clear that Xu Bin is doing this from the overall situation, and to a large extent, he can get this position, I am afraid it is also for the sake of his father-in-law. Even if he becomes the head of the previous regiment in the future, others will not dare to say anything.

But Bai Diantang knew that if he didn't have the ability to convince the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment, the regiment commander would still be unstable sooner or later. At that time, out of order to appease the army, Xu Bin could only demote him. For this kind of consequence, how can Bai Diantang, who has always refused to admit defeat, be willing?

Therefore, after handing over the affairs of the family to the three ladies and the housekeeper Bai Kun, he re-handed his head to Xu Jiajun's big flat head. Changed into a brand-new officer uniform and embarked on a journey of study.

After resettlement, thousands of people in Baijiazhai who moved down the mountain, and Xu Bin, who was discussing with Wang Ersa and others about attacking Bailian City and Southern City, suddenly received a telegram from Linzhou Mansion. said that the governor Ning Qingyuan sent a counselor over and wanted to discuss important military matters with him.

For this reason, Xu Bin, who doesn't understand what the governor is doing at this time, is sending people over. I can only temporarily stop the major affairs of the military aircraft and take the guard regiment to the dock of Orange City to welcome the arrival of the counselor of the Governor's Palace. In any case, although he is not subject to the management of the governor of Gannan, his current external position is still the county magistrate and city defense battalion commander of Juxiangcheng.

A counselor from the governor's palace came over, out of politeness or to show sincerity. Moreover, Xu Bin, who doesn't want to have too stiff a relationship with Gannan for the time being, also wants to pass on his meaning through the counselor sent by the other party on his own initiative this time. In order to seize the two cities around Orange City in the future, provide a buffer period acceptable to both parties.

As a result, after he entertained the counselor and his entourage, who seemed very polite, the other party openly and secretly said that Xu Jiajun was all a disciple of Gannan, and it was best not to do anything that disgusted the Gannan people. The meaning of these words is nothing more than to make it clear that the other party does not want Xu Jiajun to be confused with the revolutionary army.

Knowing that these people actually came here to appease themselves, Xu Bin also said in a timely manner that Xu Jiajun would not care at any time. It will not be denied that it belongs to the nature of the Gannan Provincial Army. It's just that Xu Bin wants to contribute to the people of Gannan and drive away those foreign troops who are not from Gannan as the counselor said, but he is more powerless. It was also very secretive to propose that it was okay to help stop the revolutionary army, but Xu Jiajun needed a territory that could strengthen the strategic depth of the troops.

For Xu Bin who understood their intentions so quickly, the chief of the special service who acted as a counselor's guard, sighed at the youth of the leader of the Xu family army in front of him. I also know that the other party has more experience in negotiation than the age that appears on the surface. If you want the other party to willingly join forces with the Gannan Army against the revolutionary army attacking Gannan Province, I am afraid that it will not be easy if you do not show some sincerity.

gave the counselor in charge of the negotiation a look, and the veteran counselor also began to test how big Xu Bin's appetite was. After getting this hint, Xu Bin naturally would not be polite, and bluntly said that he hoped to shelter the people of Linzhou. Naturally, the counsellor would not agree to this, and vaguely stated that this condition was unacceptable.

After some annoying arguments, Xu Bin said that he could fight against the revolutionary army invading Gannan on the front line in Linzhou. As long as the Xu family army is undefeated, then the Gannan army will never be allowed to attack the Gannan base camp Hero City from the territory of Linzhou Mansion. As for the revolutionary army, attacking from another direction, then there is nothing he can do.

With this sentence, it is clear that the counselor who does not need to fight on two fronts, after receiving a hint from the chief of the secret service. He said that he would take a blind attitude towards Xu Bin's next entry into the three county towns under the jurisdiction of the Linzhou Prefecture around Juxiang City.

However, after the Xu Jiajun completed the actual occupation of the three county seats, the Xu Jiajun had to provide the Gannan Army with three million dragon yang for the cost of the offering. This also means that Xu Bin can get the land of three counties again for a fee of one million. In this regard, Xu Bin, who was really worried about the funds for the time being, agreed after thinking about it.

The counselor of the Governor's Palace, who came and left in a hurry, attacked the day after they left Juxiang City, and the three main regiments under Xu Bin attacked in a big way. In the case that the officials and the people of the three county towns did not have the slightest preparation, they resorted to coercion and inducement.

Without losing one person, you can easily take the right to rule the three places. In this regard, Qin Nidao, the prefect of Linzhou, who had already received hints from the Governor's Palace, could only watch as the county seat under his rule was robbed by Xu Jiajun.

Considering these three counties, Xu Bin did not know much about the origin of Xu Jiajun, and Xu Bin took a relatively mild approach in the action of collecting those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Except for some landlords and corrupt officials who have a very bad influence among the people, and are in public trial. Other officials and rich people with lesser evil deeds, as long as they are willing to pay the atonement, Xu Jiajun can let them go.

As for the land confiscation of landlords in other towns and villages in the three cities, it is relatively cruel. Wealthy people who are willing to accept Xu Jiajun's purchase at a low price may be able to exchange these fields, which originally belonged to the people, for some money sufficient for them to engage in other industries.

If you are not willing to sell the land, then within three days, there will be bandits who take advantage of the fire to rob. Not to mention killing the landlords, but also robbing their family wealth and land deeds. Waiting for Xu Jiajun to receive the news, he sent troops to attack and suppress, and these land deeds that originally belonged to the landlord miraculously returned to the hands of Xu Jiajun.

It is clear that this so-called bandit robbery and the operation to clean up the bandits were all carried out by Xu Jiajun, and the landlords of the three cities deliberately fooled the ordinary people. Soon they did not dare to continue to hold on to these title deeds and transferred them to Xu Jiajun at a very low price. After the completion of the public ownership of these fields, the people of the three cities soon enjoyed the same preferential treatment as the people of Juxiangcheng.

Gradually, with the cooperation of this round of popular offensives, the popular support of Xu Jiajun in the three cities has also increased rapidly. The young men who were willing to join the Xu family army also began to make the local conscription cadres smile brightly.

With these young men who are eager to sign up for the army, I believe that it will not be long before Xu Jiajun will be able to use the troops, and it will be able to break through 10,000 and reach the establishment of a real division. With this reorganized division in the true sense, Xu Jiajun also has a little more confidence from top to bottom for the next attack of the revolutionary army.
