Although Cheng Daniu is forty years old, he still receives training from the Mengshan Army with his son and the recruits of Zhengjiazhuang, with a lot of content and a large amount of training, such as marching, standing in military posture, running drills, and studying at night. Long Qian gave an order in time, saying that Cheng Daniu's injuries were not healed, and he could not participate in military training. If he doesn't do it, I'm already a soldier of the Mengshan Army, and I must abide by the commander's rules! One day in a fight with Zheng Jing Dog Day, I was the first to rush up and slaughter the old dog!

Long Qian said to him, military training is very hard, your injuries are just right, and your health is poor, so it's nonsense! Besides, our Mengshan Army is not all combat soldiers, have you seen it? Lao Song, who is familiar with you, is not a combat soldier, but our logistics steward, and I can't leave him for a moment. You just follow Lao Song and do some logistical things, this matter is done, and our Mengshan Army will stand in your area. There are many people fighting in our team, but there are few people doing logistics and people's work, I don't despise your brother, I reuse you.

There are indeed a lot of logistical things. Because he was familiar with the people and things in Zhuangzi, divided the fields and grain, registered the household registration, registered the township soldiers and their previous positions, Ning Shijun, Song Jinguo, and Jiang Yun all dragged Cheng Daniu. Long Qian incorporated Cheng Daniu into the logistics group of Song Jinguo, and he basically did not participate in military training.

Cheng Daniu said to his wife, I will be a member of the Mengshan Army in the future, don't count on me for family affairs, as long as our Mengshan Army is here, you, the girl, and the second dog will not be able to stand the crime! Commander Long praised me in front of the team several times, that is, Commander Long can afford me, and I can't embarrass the commander.

Cheng Daniu not only brought his eldest son into the army, but also mobilized dozens of poor children's children to join the Mengshan Army - think about it, if it weren't for Commander Long's team, where would we know that there is such a team that thinks about the poor everywhere? Where can I eat my stomach and raise my eyebrows? Don't be ignorant, if it weren't for Commander Long, would you be able to get the land and the grain? If Zheng Jing comes back from the old thief, will you have your good fruit to eat?

The mobilization was simple and effective, and this was the first batch of rural children to join the Mengshan Army, or Liangjiazi. The change in composition is of great significance to Mengshanjun, but it is not yet prominent. Among these people, some have been village soldiers, and some have not, and Long Qian welcomes them all.

Although Cheng Daniu didn't understand Commander Long's forgiveness of those villagers who did evil, Commander Long must have his reasoning, Commander Long is a person with knowledge and great ability. In fact, it is also true, most of those township soldiers are the children of the poor, and there is nothing they can do to take care of Zheng Jing's home. Commander Long is right, you must unite most of the people, don't attack the majority, most of them are forced by Zheng Jing to do bad things.

However, Cheng Daniu didn't believe that they were all the same as himself, and they were determined to follow Commander Long to fight the world. For example, that Zhang Manqiu, who was originally one of the captains of the township soldiers, was sent to Zheng Mansion to be Zheng Jing's daughter's maid, and he usually acted as a prestige, but he also signed up to join the Mengshan Army? I don't believe he will be with Commander Long.

Paying attention to it like this, he really found something strange. The recruits temporarily concentrated in the recruit company for training, Zhang Manqiu happened to be in a platoon with Cheng Daniu's son Cheng Jianguo, Cheng Daniu said to his son, you give me a good look at that guy, see who he usually interacts with, how many eyes to grow, what you see, don't be angry, come back and tell me.

With such a star, I really found a problem. The son told his father about Zhang Manqiu's situation every day, and Cheng Daniu found that Zhang Manqiu contacted several of Zheng Jing's cronies. He immediately told Long Qian the news. Long Qian patted him on the shoulder, what a big bull, I know it, don't worry, they can't turn the sky.

Zhang Manqiu's plan to rescue Zheng Jing's wife and concubine was thwarted before it could be implemented. Jiang Yun single-handedly presided over the investigation of this case, and Jiang Yun's anti-espionage skills trained by Long Qian were not comparable to a few township soldiers, they were monitored in all directions, and they were not detected at all.

The recruits have been training for 20 days, and according to the instructors, they are about to enter live-fire training, so it is impossible not to fire guns and not to fire bullets. On the night when the weapons were issued, Jiang Yun led people to arrest the five people who were discussing important matters gathered in Zhang Manqiu's house, and no one was injured. In addition to Zhang Manqiu, several other guys immediately confessed, and they were all instructed by Zhang Manqiu.

Their plan was to wait for the gun to arrive, and then use their familiarity with the Zheng family's mansion and Xiaojuan's ventilation to wait for an opportunity to rob Zheng Jing's two-room wife and young lady. Then escorted him to Caozhou to join Zheng Jing. Zhang Manqiu promised each of the five people involved in the operation 200 taels of silver.

Jiang Yun, who interrogated the case, asked them how they robbed people, and the five people gave mixed answers, but unanimously stated that they would be under the command of Zhang Manqiu, because he was their captain in the first place.

Jiang Yun asked if they had been instructed by Zhang Manqiu to join the Mengshan Army, and two of them admitted it, but three of them did not admit it. So why did you betray the Mengshan army? The answer of those three people was for money. The temptation of two hundred taels of silver is really irresistible.

Jiang Yun caught Wen's maid Xiaojuan, but Xiaojuan had bones, and she didn't say anything about death, and she didn't know anything. Jiang Yun was very angry, slapped the girl more than a dozen times, and then threatened her that if she didn't confess honestly, she would be handed over to the soldier. Conversely, if you tell the truth, not only will you not be lifted a finger again, but even your father will be treated leniently.

At this moment, the girl's backbone was knocked out, and she cried and explained that she was taking advantage of the opportunity to go home to tell her father, Mrs. and Miss their current situation, and the other was the number of people around the courtyard of the third wife, and where the sentry was located.

The situation is basically clear. But Jiang Yun suspected that there was still a lurking crisis for the new recruits. He demanded that Zhang Manqiu and five accomplices be tortured and pursued deeply. Long Qian vetoed Jiang Yun's request for torture, not that he could not be tortured, but that he could not be tortured against these people. Long Qian was determined to train Jiang Yun into a qualified intelligence officer, and warned Jiang Yun that intelligence officers must have a better view of the overall situation than military commanders, and in terms of the content of skills, torture was obviously the next policy.

How to transport the three women out of the city was also something that Jiang Yun was deeply puzzled about. Wen is overwrapped, and it is obviously not possible to walk. They couldn't ride horses either, and the horses were all requisitioned, and Chi Chunxian's cavalry was expanding. There aren't many options left.

And what about the means of transport? Zhang Manqiu said that he was using an ox cart. He had an ox cart at home, but no oxen. The cow died of illness in the spring. Jiang Yun asked whose cattle to use, and Zhang Manqiu said that he could take one head at will, and there were many cultivated cattle in Zhuangzi.

How do I get past several layers of cordons? Jiang Yun continued to interrogate the main culprit, Zhang Manqiu. He thought that Zhang Manqiu must have known that the Mengshan Army had set up guards inside and outside the village, and there were a lot of bright posts and secret posts after dark, and there were patrols. How sure are you to avoid so many layers of defense? Moreover, the headquarters of the Mengshan Army is next door to the courtyard where the Wen family lives, and the people in the headquarters are all carrying guns. Zhang Manqiu couldn't say why.

The whole plan looks flawed. Therefore, Jiang Yuncai firmly believed that Zhang Manqiu was hiding something and insisted on torture him. Long Qian thinks that with the level of these township soldiers, they can't design any clever plans, so you don't have to overestimate them.

Jiang Yun had no choice but to strengthen the precautionary measures of the headquarters, and after obtaining Long Qian's consent, he transferred a squad from the first company to the Zheng family compound to be responsible for the security of the headquarters. This time Long Qian did not refuse. This class is full of Mengshan veterans, and there are no people from Lu San Mazi, so it is naturally impossible to be infiltrated by Zhang Manqiu.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yun was allowed to take people to thoroughly raid the courtyard where Wen and others lived, and took away the 5,2500 silver tickets and all the gold and silver jewelry that Wen had hidden.

Jiang Yun said to Wang Yuechan and the others - he didn't listen to Wang Yuechan's explanation that she didn't know, don't play big in front of Guan Gong, just a few of you girls still want to fight with us? Originally, our commander had always had a good heart, and was ready to release you after a while, but now you are killing yourself, no wonder others.

This matter was not kept secret, and the whole army knew about it, and it was very shaken, especially the new recruits who had just joined the army in Zhengjiazhuang, who were in a state of panic.

Long Qian convened a meeting in time and made it clear that he could not chase after him. Stabilizing the morale of the military comes first, and the rest must give way to this. It doesn't matter if there are those who slip through the net in time, just strengthen vigilance.

However, it is necessary to deal with Zhang Manqiu's case. Long Qian didn't want to kill anymore, he once said in an internal meeting that it was enough to kill only one Zheng Jiazhu. However, Cao Minzhong's military law did not agree, believing that Zhang Manqiu and others had already joined the army and must be dealt with in accordance with military law. This is no longer a defection with a gun, it is more serious than a defection with a gun. Think about it, what are they waiting for the gun to be fired before they do it? If it wasn't for the timely arrest, who knows what kind of big mess would have happened in Lu Dao?

The military justice institute insisted on the death penalty. Long Qian believed that the main culprit and the accomplice should be distinguished, and to put it bluntly, only Zhang Manqiu was allowed to be shot.

What about those people? Long Qian said that a punishment team should be set up, strictly controlled, and engaged in hard labor in peacetime, and if there is indeed remorse, it can be released or transferred into the combat unit. If there is any further wrongdoing, the penalty for both crimes shall be combined.

This was the beginning of the Mengshan Army's punishment system, and it was gradually perfected, and those who deserted on the battlefield and injured themselves were generally sent to the punishment camp.

How to deal with Zheng Jing's three female dependents also caused a heated debate. Cao Minzhong thinks that they are also the main culprits, if it weren't for them behind their backs, what would Xiaojuan and her father be busy with?

Zhou Yi insisted on not dealing with them too radically, thinking that they were just women, and it was enough to steal their goods and strictly control them. Ning Shijun and Lu Shan both objected, believing that they should be killed. Long Qian supported Zhou Yi's opinion. As soon as he spoke, Ning and Lu were silent. Ning Shijun felt that there was a shortcoming in Long Qian's character, that is, he was extraordinarily lenient to women and children, and it was not good to say whether this was an advantage or a disadvantage.

The matter was put down so gently.

Two days later, Mengshanjun convened a villagers' meeting, announced Zhang Manqiu's crime, and took him to the outside of the village to be shot. The few men involved in the conspiracy were sent to the newly formed disciplinary squad to be punished with hard labor.

Jiang Yun dispersed all the subordinates around the Wen family and the others, "Don't think about being your original wife and miss, let me stay in this courtyard honestly!" Not allowed to go out of this yard for a single step! ”

Long Qian praised Cheng Jianguo and Cheng Daniu, rewarded Cheng's father and son with twenty taels of silver, and called on the whole army to be vigilant and strictly guard against spies.
