Zhou Yi has had a very comfortable life in the past few months. Long Qian suddenly changed his hexagram, leaving him to preside over everything in the base area, and he could only obey. Before, he felt that Long Qian didn't trust him a little.

The main forces were taken away, and those who were left behind were the old, weak, sick and disabled, and less than one-third of them could really fight. With Zhou Yi's not short military career, this kind of experience is not unprecedented, and with his experience, what he left behind was abandoned by the main force. When he followed his uncle Zhou Huanan to fight in the Quartet, every time he transferred after the war, someone was always left behind, and those guys barely returned to the brigade, they were like kites with broken strings, and they didn't know where they had drifted to.

But then he felt that Long Qian still trusted him, because Long Qian did not give up his base. Let him be optimistic about this home, in any case, it can't be said that it is not reused.

If Long Qian gave up the base area, Zhou Yi would not believe it. There are a lot of injuries and backbones left behind, especially Song Jinguo, who was born in the old eighth team, and Feng Guozhu, who are all Long Qian's hardcore cronies, who will not give up these two people.

The brigade went north to Yizhou, and most of the military materials received such as military salaries and uniforms were brought back to the base area, and there were more than 80,000 taels of silver dollars alone, which also showed that Long Qian attached great importance to the base area. Leaving the bulk of the head to the base area is a good idea in advance. Long Qian said that he had the ability to raise military salaries, and he did not need to bring so many silver taels. On the contrary, there are many places to spend money in the base, and a lot of money is required.

After the brigade left, Zhou Yi, who was in charge of everything, discussed the division of labor with the old Song Feng Guozhu and others, and he and Feng Guozhu and Deng Qinghua were the main ones militarily. The logistics have to rely on Lao Song.

Feng Guozhu was the most concerned and was anxious to recruit and train new soldiers. The prisoners of war were repatriated in batches, the troops were reorganized, and three infantry companies and a cavalry platoon were reorganized, bringing the strength of the remaining battalion to 450 men, the number of which was determined by weapons. In fact, there are many people who have signed up to join the army, which is enough to form two infantry battalions. Feng Guozhu insisted on following Long Qian's explanation, and the surplus troops were not assigned to the left-behind battalions, but to be organized into a security team, with the big Zhuangzi forming a small company with two platoons under its jurisdiction, and the small Zhuangzi forming a platoon or a small platoon of two squads. Veterans who have returned from injuries are assigned to the security team as captains and platoon leaders. There were no firearms, only primitive cold weapons could be used. However, the training was carried out in accordance with the training methods of the Mengshan Army, and this standard was not lowered. If the war starts, you can make up for the main battle at any time.

Feng Guozhu and Deng Qinghua were worried that the officials and troops would take the opportunity to retaliate. A lot of preparatory work has been done. Feng Guozhu inspected the villages every day. Arrange open posts and secret posts, inspect fortification construction, and train recruits. It's a lot of fun. Deng Qinghua prepared three plans to deal with the possible advance of the official army. According to Long Qian's instructions, if that situation occurs, the left-behind battalion will adopt guerrilla tactics, not stick to Zhengjiazhuang or other Zhuangzi, and fight guerrilla warfare in the areas of Yizhou and Yanzhou, so as to preserve its strength and wait for the return of the main force.

Song and Jin took guerrilla warfare as the starting point and prepared all kinds of necessary materials to ensure that the troops could be mobilized at any time.

Intelligence stations in Yizhou, Yanzhou, and other places continued to operate, and information on the movements of officials and troops continued to come back. Recently, there has been no news of the assembly of officials and troops in Fei County and Zou County. After a long time, Zhou Yi also let go of his heart, it seems that Yuan Shikai is still trustworthy, this is the best, Zhou Yi doesn't want to fight, and they are safe with each other, how good.

In this way, Song Jinguo could also devote his main energy to the package of affairs of the Autonomous Committee.

As for the autonomous committee, Zhou Yi basically didn't ask. Although it is a big thing, whether it is Lao Song or Chen Chao, he will come over to talk to him for a while. He just listens and rarely expresses his opinion. Zhou Yi felt that it was superfluous for Long Qian to set up an autonomous committee, Mengshan Army was an army, not a township office, what did he do about those mothers-in-law? The army, the main thing is to fight, he used to work with the officers and soldiers, but now he has been recruited, and he can't tell who the enemy is. Logistics is important, since Long Qian took charge of the army, Zhou Yi has indeed learned the great changes in logistics, admitting that this aspect is not dispensable, but a very important and indispensable part. In the past, they could not control the wounded and sick at all, and left them to fend for themselves, but now most of the wounded and sick can recover and return to the army under the careful care of the infirmary, and even if they are disabled and can no longer go to the combat company, there are still many things to do. Moreover, after the rectification of logistics, the troops' clothing, food, housing, and transportation have undergone tremendous changes, everyone is well fed, well-fed, and much more comfortable to wear, not like when they followed their uncle to the war, they will wear whatever they grab, but they have unified military uniforms, both inside and out, and when the time comes, clothes and shoes will be issued, and you don't need to worry about it at all.

Because there was no imminent danger, Zhou Yi's worries about military affairs were reduced, and he relied on Feng Guozhu, the battalion commander of the remaining battalion. Later, he sometimes didn't leave the Zheng family's mansion for a day, ate well, slept enough, and lived a very stable and comfortable life. Zhou Yi felt that it was actually very good for Long Qian to stay in charge of the base area.

One of the main reasons why Zhou Yi longs for a stable life is that Zheng Chan's body is heavy, and labor is imminent, so he prefers to stay at home with his wife.

Zhou Yi has followed his uncle to the world since he was eighteen years old, and women don't know how much he has played, and his uncle Zhou Huanan can't help but forbid his nephew to find a woman, but just told him not to look for someone with too bad taste, and it will be bad if he gets sick. The uncle also thought about waiting for the situation to stabilize and marry him a daughter-in-law to pass on the lineage, but the team has been in flux, and there is no certainty about the outcome or defeat, and he rarely stays in one place for a month, so the matter is put on hold. When Liu and Zhou's team went to Mengshan to join forces with the Sun Dewang brothers, they settled down, but there was no suitable woman. It wasn't until the Mengshan thieves became the Mengshan Army under Long Qian, gave up the Mengshan Army and marched south to Zhengjiazhuang, and established a base enough to support the whole army, Zhou Yi fell in love with the gentle and beautiful Miss Zheng and finally married her, which was considered to have fulfilled his uncle's wish, and his uncle had been dead for a year.

After marrying a wife, a man's mentality will change, especially a man like Zhou Yi who is used to wandering. Thinking that he would soon have a son (Zhou Yi decided that the child in his wife's womb must be a boy, which made Zheng Chan very nervous), Zhou Yi felt a warm and happy feeling in his heart that he had never had.

Long Qian took care of him, and after Zhou Yi got married, he allowed Zhou Yi to live in the inner courtyard of the Zheng family, and no longer slept in a big bunk with his brothers. Naturally, he also ate a small stove for dinner, and ate with Zheng Chan's family in the inner courtyard. In addition to following the activities of the troops, Zhou Yi was the first to say goodbye to the big stove. If Zhou Yi maintained the habit of Mengshan Army, but at the request of Long Qian, he insisted on going out every day without falling behind, and other aspects have undergone great changes.

After Long Qian led the army away, Zhou Yi became the leader of the left-behind troops, and no one could restrain him, and the military habits that he had maintained for many years slowly degenerated, such as going out to exercise. Zhou Yi is now very nostalgic for the feeling of sleeping lazy. I only run around with the troops every few days, and I don't get up early every day. Zheng Chan, who was about to give birth, reminded him that Commander Long had the most important rules, and people had never made an exception. You are now the Commander of the Remaining. It's not good to sleep at home like this.

Zhou Yi didn't pay much attention to Zheng Chan's advice. I care more about the words of the third aunt, the queen of the moon cicada. After marrying Zheng Chan. Zhou Yi naturally had more opportunities to come into contact with Wang Yuecian, and he felt that this coquettish and beautiful third aunt was too short and literate, and she was very scheming. But he couldn't hide the color of wind and dust, so that he almost couldn't help but flirt with her several times. Zhou Yi didn't care about Zheng Chan, but about Long Qian, because he always felt that since he married Zheng Chan, Wang Yuecian always came to Long Qian's side intentionally or unintentionally. Long Qian is not a lustful person, but he is not a monk who abides by the rules and precepts, in case something happens between them, what are he and Long Qian? In addition, Long Qian hates his subordinates for making mistakes in women, which the veterans all know. Zhou Yi didn't know very well what the official army looked like, but there was absolutely no second one in the country like the Mengshan Army. Therefore, Zhou Yi didn't want to make trouble in this regard.

Because of his age, Zhou Yi has never called Aunt Wang Yuecian, he can't call it, but he often has the opportunity to chat with the sky. Wang Yuecian was very interested in the history of the Mengshan Army, and was only interested in the story of Long Qian's army.

Wang Yuecian bluntly criticized Zhou Yi for being unproductive, and marrying his wife was like a family man. Originally, your position was in danger, and if you were like now, your position in the Mengshan Army would soon be replaced.

Zhou Yi didn't like to listen to this, "What nonsense? I'm now the commander of the left-behind battalion. ”

"You, if you hadn't married Xiaochan, I wouldn't have bothered to tell you these words."

Zhou Yi likes to see Wang Yuecia's angry appearance. Some women are beautiful when they are happy, while others are beautiful when they are angry, especially when she wears a military uniform, she looks even more beautiful when she wears a military uniform, and the military uniform made of coarse cloth is worn on her, and she wears a charm, "Oh, let's listen to it." Zhou Yi lit a bag of cigarettes and looked at Wang Yuecian with a smile.

"Didn't you notice? Although you are nominally the second master, your role is not obvious, the drill relies on Lu Shan, and the logistics rely on Lao Song. How many times have you been fighting, which time have you stood alone? ”

"In terms of the ability to fight, I admit that I can't compare to Long Qian. At the beginning of the division of labor, I was willing to take care of the logistics. Zhou Yi took a sharp puff of cigarette, then slowly spit it out, spraying the smoke ring onto Wang Yuechan's face.

"Puff," Wang Yuecian blew while blowing the smoke with her hands, "What's the matter with logistics?" I think that the army still has to rely on its military exploits to build prestige. This time you should go with the brigade, not stay. ”

"You know, there has to be someone at the helm at home. Oh, I can tell you, don't stir up my relationship with Long Qian. Since Mengshan reorganized the army, I was willing to be his deputy, and I admitted that he was capable. With my ability, I wouldn't be so prosperous now. ”

"Don't be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs! Who provoked your relationship with Commander Dragon? I mean, you should lead the troops well! Don't drill in Xiaochan's house every day, she is already your wife, can't she be caught? You see that people are the battalion commanders, and they soak with the team every day, that's like words. I dare to say that in the current left-behind camp, your words are definitely not as effective as sealing the national pillar. ”

This is something that Zhou Yi doesn't like to hear, "Nonsense! The military discipline of the Mengshan army is resting there, who dares not to obey my orders? Besides, when Lao Tzu was the captain of the Mengshan Army, he was just the captain of Long Qian's team, compared to Lao Tzu? ”

"Look at you, are you in a hurry? If you don't like to hear it, people won't talk about it in the future. Wang Yuecian looked at Zhou Yi and sank his face.

Zhou Yi did remember the scene when Feng Guozhu argued with himself over Xiao Guanyu. The Mengshan Army was built for a short time, and the upper and lower levels were not strict, even Long Qian was often talked back to below, and the most was Song Jinguo, who quarreled with him because of Long Qian's lavish spending.

Which pot is not opened, Wang Yuecian then said to Zheng Du, "Your mother-in-law must have told you, right?" Your brother-in-law in Yanzhou is coming back to visit his family. Now you've been recruited. I can make it clear to you, Zheng Du will definitely talk about his family's affairs, you have to stand your heels! After speaking, Wang Yuecian twisted her waist and left.

What heel to stand? Zhou Yi pondered Wang Yuecia's words. When Lao Song went to Yanzhou to receive military pay and materials, he brought back a letter from Zheng Du to his family. finally knew everything after Zheng Jing fled. And Zheng Ergongzi also learned about the situation at home from Song Jinguo's mouth. In addition to the loss of family property, the biggest variable is that the little sister actually married the second-in-command of Mengshanjun! This is something that Zheng Du is deeply ashamed of. But taking a step back, it's better for the little sister to marry the bandit leader than to let the bandits spoil it. Now it's even better, the Mengshan Army was recruited and became a part of the Wuwei Right Army, which made Zheng Du's face look better. Cao Kun knew the situation of the Zheng family, and once said to Zheng Du, it seems that Long Qian's ringing horse still talks about the rules, and you can go back when you have time. Now there is no danger, they will not harm you, not to mention that you are still a relative of their second-in-command.

Of course, Zheng Du would not write these things in the letter, but he did say that he would take the time to go back to Zhuang to visit his relatives.

Wang Yuecian is worried that I will take back the Zheng family's land like Xiao Guanyu? Underestimate people, right? His fate is closely linked to Mengshanjun, and compared to Long Qian, who joined halfway, Zhou Yi felt that his hatred with the government was deeper. Zhao'an, it's just Long Qian's plan to fool Yuan Shikai and Cao Kun, don't you know? Looking at Wang Yuecian's back, Zhou Yi spit a mouthful of thick phlegm into the courtyard. (To be continued......)
