Xu Bin left these uninvited revolutionary soldiers, except for his personal belongings and the military uniform on his body, the rest of the things Xu Bin did not politely keep. In addition, in order to take revenge on the dwarf for the unhappy feeling he had, he also extorted a ransom of five million from the revolutionary army by the way. This news soon spread as the Third Division of the Revolutionary Army returned to Ningzhou and was quickly organized and sent to Minnan Province to strengthen the offensive of the revolutionary army.

The intelligence investigation work, which had stopped a lot, began to become active again. So much so that many spies from all parties who were originally going to be released, Xu Bin once again ordered a postponement. At the same time, Xu Bin directly ordered to shoot a few of the intelligence spies who refused to change their ways, and the talents of those intelligence departments stopped a little.

Just as Xu Bin began to escort the people concentrated in the four cities back to their county towns one after another by the joint defense team and the regular army of the Xu family's army. At the same time, the military and political departments of those counties were formed, and the entire Linzhou really became the self-retention of the Xu family army after the withdrawal of the revolutionary army.

Just when others felt that the situation in Gannan was almost calm, the Gannan army in Changzhou. Suddenly, the Xu family army on the opposite side launched a surprise attack at night. If it weren't for Li Chengbing's experience, who had always followed Xu Bin's instructions, he would not have been able to relax his vigilance against Gan Nanjun.

For twenty-four hours at the blocking position, no less than one main battalion was deployed. The surprise attack of the Gannan army that fought without telling the story this night would really cause heavy losses to the Xu family's army.

The defenders of the blocked position discovered the night attack of the Gannan Army in time, and the second regiment had already been arranged in place. also launched the most resolute counterattack, and the Gannan army, which was originally preparing to raid, was also covered with corpses. Just when all parties felt that the Gannan Army would not be willing to be reconciled at this time, Xu Bin openly sent an additional force of the main regiment on that day.

At the same time, the howitzer units that had been deployed earlier were ordered to directly shell the capital city of Changzhou in retaliation. As a result, he never realized that the Gannan Army, which had deployed so many guards and troops in this direction, was naturally beaten to the ground. It wasn't until Ning Qingyuan realized that Xu Jiajun's defeat of the revolutionary army was not a fluke, but it did have sufficient strength.

He himself was tempted, and he also sent people to the position of the Xu Jiajun to explain that this was all an order given by the military commander of Changzhou privately. It was not the original intention of Ning Qingyuan, the governor of Gannan, who hoped that Xu Jiajun would end this kind of shelling.

But Ning Qingyuan didn't expect that he had already taken the initiative to give way to the steps, and it stands to reason that Xu Bin should take the opportunity to go downhill. But Xu Bin still refused to give up, and also issued a compensation bill of one million, when the money will be in place, and when will the shelling be stopped.

He believed that the order was not given by Ning Qingyuan, but the military commander in Changzhou caused casualties to the Xu family's army. It's not a word that can fool the past, he must also give an explanation to those brothers who died.

Just finished blackmailing the revolutionary army, and blackmailed the Gannan army with his backhand, everyone thinks that this leader of the Xu family army is really interesting. Li Shichang, who was also born as a bandit and is now in charge of Longcheng in Longhua Country, also mentioned to others that the leader of the Xu family army had a lot of bearing back then.

And said in front of everyone that if Xu Bin was willing to serve under him, he was willing to give Xu Bin a position of military commander. It is even larger than the current territory of Linzhou Mansion occupied by Xu Jiajun.

As soon as this kind of gossip spread, everyone really realized that this Gannan unknowingly had a figure with a little influence in China. Xu Bin's background, Xu Bin's age, and Xu Jiajun's achievements have also spread along with these gossip in all parts of Longhua Kingdom.

Regarding the rise of the Xu Jiajun, Chen Mingyang, the commander of the Third Division, who is currently transferred to the front line in southern Fujian to fight with unprecedented enthusiasm, also has a deep worry. Because only after having contact with Xu Bin can you truly appreciate that Xu Bin's ambition is different from ordinary people's far-reaching arrangement. This kind of person will either be annihilated while he is weak, or be friends with him and don't offend him.

Chen Mingyang, who was concerned about Xu Bin's understanding and concern, dutifully wrote a letter to Guo Tianyou, the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army, in the form of a private letter. After seeing Chen Mingyang's judgment on Xu Bin, Tianyou knew that this beloved general was not a person who would give people such a high evaluation. Therefore, at present, the center of gravity of the revolutionary army has shifted to southern Fujian, and the halfway of Gannan is still in a period of chaotic transition.

Guo Tianyou finally decided to endure the evil anger of being blackmailed that day, and ordered the revolutionary army stationed along Ningzhou not to clash with the Xu family army casually. In addition, the official road of Linning Second Mansion, which had been closed, was also opened with his order. In addition to entering Ningzhou, it is necessary to go through some inspection, and ordinary people who pass through with business travelers, as long as they pay a certain amount of taxes, they are all released.

Seeing that the revolutionary army first showed goodwill, Xu Bin, who had recently been busy organizing the people of the state capital to collect grain, also generously sold a batch of grain that the revolutionary army lacked the most. It also saves the embarrassment of the revolutionary army competing with the people for profits in the area under its jurisdiction in order to raise military rations. This also made Guo Tianyou deeply aware that Chen Mingyang's analysis of Xu Bin's personality is still very reasonable.

learned that Xu Jiajun and the Revolutionary Army, with the business and trade exchanges between the two sides, changed the previous situation of killing and living. Ning Qingyuan, who finally issued a ban on sending materials to Linzhou, was also depressed about the revolutionary army's gang of people, who really didn't remember it. But now, he is a little embarrassed to even hold the current half-way place.

In addition, the previous battles with the revolutionary army had caused heavy losses to several main forces in his hands, and now he has forcibly recruited a lot of young and strong men for training. However, this way of pulling up the strong Ding not only disgusted the people under his rule, but also caused the public order situation under his rule to deteriorate sharply.

Compared with the provinces and cities under the rule of the Gannan army, the people's hearts began to turn back, and the people of Gannan who were dragged out of strength and lost their way to live. In desperation, they had to flee to other places, or more chose to go to the mountains to become bandits. The current situation of the entire Gannan, except for Linzhou, which seems to have become a paradise, the people in other places are in dire straits.

After collecting this information, Xu Bin put an end to the busy farming energy in the base area, focused on the generals under his command, and held a military and political meeting on expanding the territory of the Xu family's army.

Considering that after the two wars, the Xu family army owned seven county towns and a state capital. However, the army has been officially expanded from more than 10,000 regular troops at that time to nearly 20,000 after the war. Xu Bin, the wartime division commander, really became a military commander.

However, he did not form division-level troops, but let the old first regiment and the second regiment be promoted to brigade establishment. From less than 1,500 people in the regiment at the beginning, it has expanded to the scale of a brigade of 5,000 people. became the first brigade and the second brigade of the Xu Jiajun, and the brigade commanders were Wang Ersa and Li Chengbing respectively.

The supply of troops required by each brigade was replenished from the training camp in the training mountain, which had completed the training of new recruits, and after the replenishment of troops was in place, they were quickly put into overall coordination training. For the rest of the regiments, the corresponding rankings were brought forward. The new Second Regiment, which is now deployed in Eagle Beak Rock, has also officially become a veteran regiment and enjoys the treatment of the veteran regiment.

The rest of the new third regiment and the new fourth regiment were also correspondingly upgraded by half a grade, becoming a unit with a higher salary than the new regiment, but lower than the old regiment.

In the process of announcing the expansion and reorganization of these regular armies, Xu Bin also convened a meeting of some joint defense captains in the base areas who were very good at organizing mass work. It is hoped that they will form the Xu Jiajun and expand the guerrilla leader candidates. Except for some experienced veterans, most of these members who participated in the guerrillas were recruits who had completed their training from the training mountain.

Their task is very simple, that is, under the leadership of these joint defense members, who are accustomed to doing the work of ordinary people, in the form of a militia and a regular army. Secretly infiltrated under the rule of the Gannan Army and expanded the army in the name of bandits. Xu Bin's condition for these outstanding and loyal guerrilla leaders of the Xu Jiajun was that in the future, as many troops could be expanded to, as long as they could be turned into guerrillas who could be converted into official soldiers after being screened by the Xu Jiajun, they would all become the regular army of the Xu Jiajun.

In this way, as long as they go to other state capitals and pay attention, when the Xu family army launches a campaign to recover Gannan in the future, they will also become officers of the regular army. This is also a very tempting condition for the captains of the joint defense who are now almost all linked to Xu Jiajun.

Of course, in order to improve the military command ability of these joint defense members, Xu Bin also sent some veterans who were too old to serve in the regular army. After being sent to the military academy in the training mountain, and after some military command training such as guerrilla warfare, they were asked to serve as deputies and military commanders. Accompanying these joint defense captains, who are familiar with carrying out civilian work, they pulled up the troops in the form of bandits.

This can be regarded as a place for these veterans who are reluctant to leave the army to exert their residual heat. As for the recruits assigned to them, they were also sent out as the backbone of the grassroots level. In the future, when these scattered recruits grow up, I believe that Xu Jiajun will expand the army in the future, and there should be no need to worry about the military commanders at the grassroots level.

After sending these platoon-based guerrillas out of Linzhou, Xu Bin also explained to the intelligence department that had already been in favor of Bugannan to cooperate with the development of these guerrillas in the local area. If there is any crisis situation or need any support from headquarters, you can always ask for help from headquarters. In this regard, it can be regarded as giving these guerrillas who have gone deep behind enemy lines in Gannan to have a sense of belonging.

With the guidance of these guerrillas who had the military and mobilized the people to resist the rule of the Gannan Army, the form of banditry in the state capitals under the command of the Gannan Army was even more unoptimistic. But for these bandits who can fight if they have beaten and run away if they can't beat them. The local Gannan officers and soldiers also felt a great headache!
