*************************

In just two days, the news that Zhengjue Temple was set on fire and looted by bandits spread throughout Zhejiang and neighboring Jiangxi like wings, causing great panic among the people everywhere, especially the major monasteries and wealthy squires.

At noon on the day after the incident, the Quzhou Special Administration and the Changshan County Government and the Yamen at the two levels of the Changshan County Government, who had received an urgent report, hurried to the Zhengjue Temple and Chen Dashanren's other courtyard to investigate, and hundreds of police and security officers and men blocked the scene with live ammunition.

All this seems to have nothing to do with Wu Ming, after a successful return, Wu Ming seems to have completely forgotten about this matter, when Lu Zhengde counted all the stolen goods, Xi Zizi told him that the ocean was converted into a huge sum of 430,000 yuan, Wu Ming not only did not look happy, but even said that he didn't expect it to be so little, and then regardless of Lu Zhengde's reaction, he was quite disappointed and led his leper horse to the stream to wash.

In the following days, Wu Ming's life was very regular, he got up every day and took two apprentices to practice martial arts, and after breakfast, he led his leper horse coated with homemade sulfur ointment, Shi Shiran inspected everywhere, and came back by the way to the school where the desks and stools had been placed, and discussed with the three gentlemen about enrollment, school system and teaching materials, and then returned to his small building to write the "Villager Code", "Maoliangwu Construction Plan", "Mine Safety Code" and other development plans and rules and regulations.

Fast forward a week, and nothing of the brothers' fears has happened, and the village is full of thriving construction in and around the village.

The sun was in the west, and Wu Ming, as in the past, led his ugly horse, which could already see the color of the spots, to the stream, and talked with the two apprentices who also got beautiful foals while washing the horses.

Wu Ming regretted that the head of the She tribe was unwilling to let the children of the clan go out with him to be a soldier, although many strong and shrewd She guys in each village wanted to go out with Wu Ming to have a fight, but the parents and the elders in the clan resolutely opposed, so they had to look at Lei Peng's scenery, but fortunately, the big head finally relented and agreed to send three to five people from each village to join the Maoliangwu militia, and the She guys who were about to move were not so lost.

The three masters and apprentices were talking lively, Zhang Dongning rode his horse, flew off the horse without waiting for the horse to stop, and ran to the stream to report loudly: "Brother Ming, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are here!" ”

Wu Ming was taken aback, threw down the brush and jumped ashore: "How many are here?" What weapons are there? ”

"Twelve came, all of them with two horses, and the empty horses seemed to be carrying a lot of things, except for the leading officer, the others were all with two guns on their waists. The eldest brother has already gathered the brothers to carry the guys to the entrance of the village, and I am worried about the third brother and the caravan brothers who just went to Changzhou yesterday to buy! Zhang Dongning gasped and replied, his sun-tanned face even darker.

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Do the officers and soldiers have long guns and machine guns or something?" ”

"No, it's all short guns, but I don't know if there will be a large group of men behind these officers and soldiers." Zhang Dongning was extremely worried, thinking that the case of Zhengjue Temple had been discovered.

"Let's go!"

Wu Ming didn't have time to explain, so he rode a horse with Zhang Dongning to the entrance of the village, dismounted and rushed directly up the hill after arriving at the hill by the river, and quickly threw himself on Lu Zhengde, who was waiting for the battle, and looked south.

Lu Zhengde hurriedly reported: "The officers and soldiers found us, and they all dismounted and hid behind the messy rocks by the river, as if they were discussing something. ”

Wu Ming watched intently, but unfortunately he couldn't see the incoming officers and soldiers from a distance of more than 100 meters, but he could see the earthy yellow military uniforms on the officers and soldiers from the occasional appearance: "What kind of troops is this?" Could it be the Changshan Security Regiment or the Quzhou Security Corps? The style of the military uniform is wrong......"

Before the words fell, a horse ran out from behind the rocks in the distance, and immediately the soldier picked up a white handkerchief with a stick and came slowly, walked fifty meters and shouted: "Don't shoot, we are from the Security Headquarters, and we are in a hurry to find Brother Wu Ming on the orders of Commander Fang!" Don't shoot! ”

"Chief Ma?"

Wu Ming shouted in surprise, put away the barge gun and hurriedly stood up: "Chief Ma, why is he here?" ”

Ma Zhizhai in the distance saw Wu Ming standing up on the hill, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly stepped forward and shouted: "Brother Wu, I finally found you, Ha Luha!" Tell your brethren not to go off! ”

Lu Zhengde stood up suspiciously: "What's the matter?" Do you know him? ”

Wu Ming completely put his mind at ease: "His name is Ma Zhizhai, the former adjutant of our eldest brother, and the chief of the operations section of the West Zhejiang Security Command, it is estimated that he is here to urge me to take office...... It's all right, tell the brethren to put away your guns, and I'll take you to meet the guests. ”

Lu Zhengde immediately breathed a sigh of relief, gave a few orders, and hurriedly followed Wu Ming down the mountain, and the heroic Ma Zhizhai was already dismounted and waiting there.

"I'm really sorry, Chief Ma, I don't know if you are here, I think it was the officers and soldiers who came to force the collection of taxes, I'm sorry, please bear with me!" Wu Ming clasped his fists and saluted from afar.

Ma Zhizhai smiled all over his face, didn't care, and after seeing the salute, he looked at Lu Zhengde beside Wu Ming: "This hero is ......"

"This is my eldest brother Lu, the big name Lu Zhengde, the village chief of Mao Liangwu." Wu Ming politely introduced.

Lu Zhengde clasped his fists and saluted: "I'm sorry Chief Ma, I didn't know that the chief was here, my brother was reckless!" ”

Ma Zhizhai smiled heartily: "It's okay!" In the past few years, the world has been in turmoil, and a little more remote places have formed groups to protect themselves, brother, I have long been used to it, ha, ha! ”

Wu Ming suddenly asked in surprise: "Brother Lu, the rank of lieutenant colonel on your collar is ......?"

"Just issued, five days forward commander inaugurated, the first order is to clean up the military appearance, strict military discipline, it just so happened that the province's security forces comprehensive rectification of the order issued, Shangfeng to our commander is very important, the first batch of 20,000 sets of new clothes and military rank tags are given priority to our West Zhejiang Headquarters, but our department is in training, most of the new clothes have not been changed, the foolish brother followed the commander Fang, near the water building first got the month! Brother Wu, there is also your share here, Brother Yu not only brought your letter of appointment this time, but also twenty sets of military uniforms and war horses and firearms to equip your men. Ma Zhizhai introduced it in detail very kindly.

Wu Ming was relieved, and politely asked Ma Zhizhai to call the brothers into the village to rest, and Lu Zhengde apologized happily and led the brothers back to arrange a banquet.

Ma Zhizhai threw the reins to the fast-arriving guards, pulled Wu Ming side by side, walked dozens of steps and turned over the hill, suddenly stopped, looked at the clear river more than 30 meters wide on the right, and then turned to the hill more than 20 meters high on the left, smiled, and asked politely: "The terrain of this place is very good, can Brother Wu take me to the top to see?" ”

Wu Ming's heart was like lightning, and he was not sure of Ma Zhizhai's thoughts, so he had to agree first and then say: "Brother Ma, please!" ”

The two climbed to the top of the hill, Ma Zhizhai looked around, and nodded frequently: "It's a good place!" Surrounded by mountains, the river is swirling, the road is tortuous, the field of vision is wide, what is even more rare is that the river bends to the east two hundred meters ahead, the green hills on both sides are not high, but the victory is precipitous, the only road along the river crosses it, only need to build a few strong fortresses under our feet, set up two machine guns, and completely block the enemy from coming. ”

"Moreover, on both sides of the road hundreds of meters ahead, the mountains are steep and the terrain is narrow, if anyone really wants to lead his troops to attack this place, it will be difficult to spread more than a battalion of troops, and according to the terrain I saw when I came, I am afraid that no artillery fire can be used except mortars! Ha Luha, Brother Wu, you said yes, right? ”

Wu Ming finally knew the meaning of Ma Zhizhai's school examination, and after thinking about it, he decided not to hide it: "Brother Ma is worthy of being a top student of Baoding Military Academy, just a quick glance, you can say it in a word, which is admirable!" I don't know much about military matters, but I still know a little bit about civil engineering, so I have long planned to build a series of strong fortifications in this place under my feet, as well as in the area before and after. ”

"Oh? Can you please introduce Brother Wu in detail? ”

Ma Zhizhai was surprised, as Fang Youchun's confidant, he had just been promoted to the post of chief of staff of the headquarters, according to his recent understanding, Wu Ming had not received any military education, and the other party Youchun planned to appoint Wu Ming as a lieutenant adjutant of the headquarters and the chief of the ordnance department, so he took this opportunity to explore Wu Ming's depths.

Wu Ming was also not polite: "I have drawn the construction drawings, but I am still hesitating whether it is necessary, if Brother Ma is interested, I will take them out and ask Brother Ma for guidance when I go back later." My plan is to take this integrated limestone hill as the center, dig three meters deep in the protrusions of the left and right mountainsides, and then pour two double-layer prismatic fortresses with a radius of 10 meters with reinforced concrete, the thickness of the fortress wall and the top is not less than 1.5 meters, and the three high-low shooting ports are lined with steel plates when pouring, and then use the method of blasting and excavation, according to the undulating natural terrain at the foot of the mountain ahead, build two blocking trenches with a height difference of 5 meters and a distance of 50 meters between the front and back, the trenches are two meters wide and two meters deep, and the top is covered with logs and sandbags every five metersBuild an anti-artillery hole that can accommodate ten people every 20 meters in the trench, and then dig two traffic trenches at the east and west ends, and connect the two trenches with the hidden bunker on the mountainside and the traffic trench that leads directly to the village wharf behind the mountain, so that the peace of the villagers may be kept for a while. ”

Ma Zhizhai was already dumbfounded, and the two lieutenants who came behind him at some point were also full of shock, and their eyes were full of incredulity.

After being stunned for a while, Ma Zhizhai solemnly hugged his fist to Wu Ming: "Brother Wu, you are talented!" I hope my brother will forgive the foolish brother for his momentary arrogance, and the foolish brother will apologize to you! ”

Wu Ming hurriedly replied: "Don't say that, the little brother is purely on paper, I'm afraid I don't have half a bucket of water in my stomach, I only know a lot of things, I don't know why, I haven't done it, I will ask Brother Ma and the two brothers to take care of it in the future, if there is something wrong, please bear with me!" ”

"Where, where? Brother, you're slapping your brother in the face! To tell you the truth, you and I are both comrades, whom the commander trusts immensely, and we should help each other and support each other, right? Ma Zhizhai saw that Wu Ming was not only not surprised, but was so sincere and frank, and he was ashamed in his heart, but he finally put his mind at ease.

Wu Ming smiled, nodded and politely invited everyone to go down the mountain, and from a distance, he saw Lu Zhengxian and Lu Zhengde leading a group of brothers to stand and wait, and immediately sped up and stepped forward to salute each other.

Walking along the flat and wide road in the village, Ma Zhizhai and his brothers were shocked by the affluence of the village and the golden waves of rice in front of them, the three compacted stone roads, the neatly planted four rows of peach and pear trees at the same intervals on both sides, and the west and north sides of the village were full of construction sites.

Under Ma Zhizhai's incessant questioning, Wu Ming introduced the situation of the village as he walked, focusing on the Maoliangwu militia that Lu Zhengde was forming.

Ma Zhizhai heard that all the She tribes in the surrounding Baili were engaged in fair trade with the village, and that more than 50 young people of the She nationality wanted to join the militia group.

"The foolish brother came in a hurry, without any gifts, and I was deeply ashamed! In this way, after going back, the foolish brother sent a report to the commander in the name of suppressing the bandits, and applied for a batch of weapons and ammunition to be allocated to the Maoliangwu militia. ”

Lu Zhengde and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and when they returned to the door of the village chief's courtyard, Lu Zhengde opened his mouth and shouted, "Take out the best tiger whip wine", which frightened a group of mothers-in-law who helped the cook.
