At ten o'clock in the evening, Wu Ming waited for Yu Jishi's phone call and immediately told Yu Jishi about the border guards' request to come back.

Yu Jishi was very happy, and immediately gave instructions: "Try to recruit as many as possible, now there is a shortage of soldiers everywhere, and the advance team of the Quartermaster Administration who rushed to Quzhou the day after tomorrow only brought one regiment of Jiangsu recruits from Nanchang, and they are all selected by the main divisions, so I have to rely on your help." ”

"No problem, that's right, the division seat, the corruption problem in the border defense command is very serious, their quartermaster section chief has been recruited, and as many as fifteen officers at all levels have been confessed, and the amount of embezzlement is not less than 50,000 oceans, this has not been carefully investigated." Wu Ming handed over the problem to Yu Jishi.

Yu Jishi had a headache: "This matter is very troublesome, I can't imagine that there will be another big shock in the officialdom of the province, it is now a critical period of the encirclement and suppression campaign, if you really want to make a big move, I'm afraid it's not easy for you to go up and down, so I didn't report it to Governor Lu, I want to wait for your uncle to come back and discuss it." ”

Wu Ming was very strange: "What's the matter with him?" ”

"You don't know what to do?" Yu Jishi's voice was surprised.

Wu Ming was even more confused: "What do you know?" During this time, the training of various departments was inspected every day, and if it weren't for a telegram from the division, my subordinates would probably have to go to the border for a while. ”

Yu Jishi was silent for a moment, and estimated the time to know that Wu Ming was not lying, so he smiled and said: "The Government Council and the Ministry of Supervision have made an appointment, and Deputy Director Fang will take over as the administrative inspector of the fifth district, and Lu Zhongxiu will be transferred to the administrative inspector of the tenth district in southern Zhejiang. ”

"Really?"

Wu Ming was pleasantly surprised: "This grandson has been hiding from me so hard, I didn't even reveal the news beforehand, it's still a relative, I can see through him." ”

Yu Jishi laughed loudly when he heard it, and after laughing, he solemnly admonished: "Remind you, the materials in the munitions warehouse of the military camp in the north of the city must not be moved, and they must be handed over to the Quartermaster Department in their entirety, and I will help you find a way if you need it in the future, remember?" ”

"Understand that the subordinates in principle can still distinguish clearly, please rest assured, and the subordinates will be sealed later" Wu Ming said loudly.

Yu Jishi praised with confidence: "Very good, you still reassure me in this regard, remember to hurry up and recruit soldiers, the more the better, don't worry about money, when the people from the Quartermaster Department arrive, everything can be solved except people." ”

"Understand the master, do you have a phone call with Lu Zhongxiu? Otherwise, it's not easy for me to put it in here" Wu Ming is really difficult to do, so he can only rely on Yu Jishi.

Yu Jishi thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I think Commissioner Lu also knows what to do to be the most suitable." ”

Wu Ming put down the phone and immediately summoned Zhang Dongning and Tian Zhenggang: "Have you counted clearly?" How many rifles and how many machine guns? ”

Zhang Dongning replied: "Sixty-eight Czech machine guns, 1,250 Mauser short rifles with Nl930 inscriptions, and 240 shell guns imitated by the Jinling Factory, these are all brand new, the wooden box packaging has not yet been oiled, 79 bullets are about 3.2 million rounds, and the shell gun ammunition is about 100,000 rounds, and the others are just in charge of counting." ”

Tian Zhenggang reported the figures: "There are 12 60 mortars and 4,000 shells from the Jinling Factory, 12 Makqin heavy machine guns and 480 boxes of grenades copied by the Hanyang Factory, about 5,000 sets of military uniforms of the Central Army, 7,200 pairs of infantry shoes made in Shanghai, about 4,000 gray cotton coats, and ....... ”

"That's enough, except for the twelve heavy machine guns imitated by the Hanyang Factory, all the others will be moved, and they will be immediately, is the third brother and their ship still at the West Wharf?" Wu Ming made a decisive decision.

Zhang Dongning nodded: "It's still there, I guess I didn't let them go." ”

Wu Ming was overjoyed: "Immediately, there is not enough manpower to call the third brother and them together, and all of them will be transported to Maoliangwu, and then they will be released." ”

"Understood"

Zhang Dongning turned around and left, unequivocally.

Tian Zhenggang was very surprised: "Big brother, aren't you afraid to go back and check the accounts?" ”

Wu Ming pouted: "It's all bad debts, and there are three unlucky people locked up in it, can't they just do it again?" As long as they are obedient, I will not hold them accountable for corruption...... When the time comes, all they need is to hand over half of the embezzlement and give us military bills, and they will surely cry and cry and beg me to do so. ”

"What if I find out?" Tian Zhenggang is still worried.

Wu Ming sighed: "I can't help it if I really want to be discovered, who cares about the warehouse, who makes fake accounts, who goes to whom, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Tian Zhenggang's eyes widened: "Big brother, you are so insidious"

"You only know the Tao now? It's late, and you can't run away when you get on the thief ship, so you can only follow me honestly, haluhaha......"

The sky was bright, and the morning glow rendered the eastern sky a blood-red.

The camp in the north of the city, which has long been calm, looks no different from usual, except that the military uniforms on the sentinels guarding the gate are different, the gray uniforms of the security forces have replaced the yellow-green uniforms of the original border guards, and the current situation of the munitions warehouses in the camp is the same as Wu Ming assured Yu Jishi, and the gates of each warehouse and courtyard are sealed.

Not long after the spy company brothers and the left-behind company brothers, who carried things overnight, fell asleep, Wu Ming took the energetic Tian Zhenggang to inspect the sentry posts in various parts of the camp, and told Tian Zhenggang how he came to Quzhou in the first place, and how he built this large military camp in Zhejiang Province in the midst of a wilderness and decay.

When Wu Ming arrived at the camp in the east, three infantry companies and one guard company, a total of 348 officers and men, immediately gathered and lined up to wait for the training.

These people are all brothers who are willing to return to Wu Ming's command, and more than 120 people who are unwilling to continue to serve as soldiers are now waiting in the barracks to be dismissed, and all their weapons have been confiscated by Fan Daoquan.

After listening to Fan Daoquan's whispered report, Wu Ming happily commended a few words, saluted back to Fan Daoquan, the commander of the guard company who was temporarily in charge of command, motioned to the brothers to take a break, came to the first row of the front line, asked the soldier at the head of the platoon to pass his rifle, and then pulled the bolt to check, frowned and returned it to the panicked soldier, strode to the front of the team, and said in a loud voice:

"Brothers, many of you have trained under my Wu Ming, and most of the platoon commanders have sweated with me, but I am very dissatisfied with your current mental state...... What is a gun? It is the weapon of our soldiers, the guy we eat, the partner and the guarantee of our life, and you should cherish and love it as you cherish your own life."

"I've said this hundreds of times, I still have to say it to you today, I hope everyone will keep it in mind, and when I go back later, I will immediately sort out the housekeeping, maintain the weapons, and prepare to start normal training From now on, you are all my Wu Ming's soldiers, if anyone can't stand it, please bring it up to your commander as soon as possible, I will never blame."

Fan Daoquan immediately ran forward and ordered loudly: "Lizheng all go to the left - turn, run - walk"

Looking at the officers and soldiers who ran back to the camp in a company unit, Tian Zhenggang approached Wu Ming and whispered: "Their weapons are actually good, all Czech 4 rifles, the officers are all German shell guns, the military uniforms on their bodies, the infantry shoes under their feet are the same as the main force of the Central Army, but unfortunately they don't have any spirit." ”

Wu Ming asked with a smile: "What, do you want to go down and lead the troops?" ”

Tian Zhenggang knew that he couldn't hide the ghost-like eldest brother, so he grinned embarrassedly: "Yes." ”

Wu Ming explained: "Although you are familiar with our army and your ability is also very strong, but you can't do it now, wait a month at most, most of these officers and soldiers will be transferred to the Quartermaster Department, and in the future, they will either belong to the baggage regiment of the Quzhou military station, or be assigned to the garrison regiment of the military station...... If you really want to lead the troops, I will expand the machine gun company directly under me into a machine gun battalion and let you go down to become a battalion commander. ”

Tian Zhenggang was overjoyed: "So, we are going to expand again?" ”

Wu Ming nodded: "If you don't expand, you can't do it, Director Yu will soon leave Zhejiang to return to the Central Army, and now he only has three regiments of the Second Security Division in his hands, and he will definitely take our four regiments away at that time, so we must be prepared, and in a few days, I will ask Zhang Dongning to contact the chambers of commerce of the surrounding counties, and recruit another 4,000 recruits from Chun'an, Jiande, Longyou, Suichang, and Jiangshan counties, and strive to complete it within a month, and then all of them will be pulled into the Phoenix Mountain base for training, which can be regarded as a rainy day."

"Ah, how can this be? The equipment of the fourth regiment is the best in the whole brigade...... The comprehensive level of the fourth regiment is second only to the fifth regiment, and whether it is the quality of officers and soldiers or the military appearance and military discipline, it is much stronger than the main infantry regiment of the Central Army that I have seen. Even Tian Zhenggang himself was reluctant, so his face was full of regret

Wu Ming was quite helpless: "You also know the situation of the Fourth Regiment, the officers above the company commander are all graduates of Huangpu, and the other fifteen people who came to intern with you also sent Deputy Brigade Commander Liu to the Fourth Regiment, so to speak, the Fourth Regiment has completely become the world of the Huangpu Department......

"This regiment is the same as the three regiments of the Second Security Division that were built before, they were all specially trained by me for Yu Shizuo, because they are all Zhejiang soldiers, not only Yu Shizuo is safe to use, but Chairman Jiang will also like it very much when he sees it in the future, alas, I am doing my duty to put it nicely, and I am making wedding clothes for others, in exchange for a better status and treatment of the headquarters, do you understand?"

"I don't understand"

Tian Zhenggang shook his head: "I can't figure it out...... With the power of Yu Shizuo, we only need to ask Chairman Chiang for instructions, and then the Ministry of Military Affairs will issue a paper transfer order, and we can easily transfer our entire Second Brigade into the Central Military System. ”

"In addition, the eldest brother seems to be very reluctant to enter the central military system, what is this for?"

After that, Tian Zhenggang looked at Wu Ming with blazing eyes.
