195 1st Brigade

Lin Yuan said: "You don't have to worry about this, you can't stay here, because many people know about you, if you go out, the angry crowd will eat you, we will send you to Beijing, there, you can learn Chinese, after a while, you can teach Japanese, of course, we don't need you to teach very well, as long as you can teach basic conversations well." ”

Natsuko Ozawa said excitedly, "Really? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Of course it's true, but there is one condition that you need to agree to." ”

Natsuko Ozawa's heart was worried again, and she asked in fear, "What are the conditions?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "We need you to tell what happened to you, that is, how you got sick, what the Japanese officer did to you, and how we saved you." ”

Natsuko Ozawa asked, "Why did you do this?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I don't want to lie to you, we are doing this to break the military spirit of the Japanese army, and at the same time to create pressure on Japan internationally, if you agree, you will completely become a traitor, and there is no way back." ”

In fact, Lin Yuan didn't need to ask for her consent at all, Lin Yuan could completely let Shen Wanqing make up a character, and he did this to test whether Natsuko Ozawa was sincerely taking refuge in himself. But Natsuko Ozawa was just a sixteen-year-old girl who had never seen the world, and before she was sold as a military prostitute, she thought that the world was only the size of the village where she lived, and it was impossible for her to think of Lin Yuan's plan.

When she returns to Japan, she will become a military prostitute, and if she stays, it is treason, such a choice is really difficult for her, Lin Yuan saw her hesitant look, and said, "Are you still nostalgic for your motherland?" They use you as a tool of murder, and make you bring to us the most pathogenic disease, without the slightest consideration that it will cause you to die in excruciating pain; They make you throw away all your dignity just to be able to let them vent their momentary desires. Natsuko Ozawa raised her head and whispered: "They say, this is the Holy War of the Empire, everyone has to contribute to the Holy War, men have to take guns to the battlefield, and we can only serve the men." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then have you seen the general's wife and daughter come to serve the men?" They are simply deceiving you, is this the Holy War of the Empire? No! This is your aggression, no different from a robber, and if it were not for this war, you would have been a good wife and a good mother in the future, but because of this war, you would have become a prostitute that everyone laughed at! If you come to our side, you can help us end this war as soon as possible. ”

Natsuko Ozawa said softly, "Please, don't say it!" Lin Yuan looked at her eyes quietly, stopped talking, and after a while, she finally said, "General Lin, I figured it out, I should help you." ”

Lin Yuanzhi said that after such a conversation, she would definitely help herself desperately, and he smiled: "You take it here for two more days, and as soon as the blockade is lifted, we will send you to Beijing." ”

Lin Yuan came out of her and received the news that Shen Wanqing sent back from Beijing, Lin Yuan asked Shen Wanqing to send the report on the first day, which did cause a lot of panic in Beijing, and waited until the report came out the next day, the panic calmed down a little, but the Qing court high-level has paid a lot of attention to health issues, especially the Guangxu Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi, their ancestors, the Shunzhi Emperor, are said to have died of a virulent infectious disease - smallpox.

Emperor Guangxu issued an order to instruct the Jiucheng Terracotta Division to clean up the garbage and debris in Beijing, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw the news, the Jiucheng Terracotta Division is equivalent to the police station in Beijing, and he actually asked the police to do sanitation work! On the same day, Emperor Guangxu also summoned Li Nanxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and ordered him to follow the example of the Taixi countries and build an underground drainage system in Beijing.

Lin Yuan was most concerned about Tou Shanman's movements, what he didn't expect was that after Tou Shanman saw that the poor people lacked cotton clothes, he immediately found the newspaper and said that he wanted to donate cotton clothes.

An interesting thing happened in the city of Beijing, because many people wanted to clean up lice and fleas, some of them chose to go to public baths, so some businessmen with a keen sense of smell built a number of public baths, which invisibly increased the demand for coal and promoted the development of the coal mining industry.

Finally, on March 20th, Lin Yuan announced the lifting of the blockade, and the production and life in the city gradually returned to normal.

Lin Yuan and Chen Fei began to discuss the establishment of troops, and Chen Fei said happily: "We can also let other traversers have their own troops like that, I think the first thing we should do is to give our troops a loud and terrible name." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "What do you say we should have a name?" ”

Chen Fei said with a smile: "According to my statistics, the names of the troops of those traversers can be classified as follows, one is animal, such as the Tiger Army, the Lone Wolf Brigade; Then there's the natural ones, such as the Storm Troop, the Lightning Legion or something, I'm thinking of a distinctive. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "In my opinion, we will call it the First Brigade." ”

Chen Fei exclaimed in disappointment: "What did you say? It's too earthy, isn't it? ”

Lin Yuan said: "You think, there are many places where we need to use this name in the future, such as various command documents, logistics and transportation accounts, the name of the First Brigade is much simpler than this unit and that legion, and it is easy to write, and we can't only have this army, if we don't use numbers to name it, there will be a lot of troubles, if you want a domineering name, you can do it, but that can only be its alias." ”

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Okay, let's call it the First Brigade." ”

Lin Yuan said: "According to our equipment, 2,000 rifles, 40 60mm mortars, counting the engineering troops, signal troops, etc., our total number is about 2,600 people. Let's organize the infantry first, which is also the largest number, and we need to keep 200 rifles as replacement weapons, so our infantry is about 1,800 people, and these people can be organized into three battalions, each battalion has four companies, and each company has about 150 people, which is 12 companies, and the marines on the Beijing ship are exactly 12, and let each of them serve as the company commander of a company. ”

Chen Fei said: "But who will be the battalion commander? If you choose someone in this era, it will definitely not be suitable. ”

Lin Yuan said: "I plan to vacate the positions of the battalion commander and the battalion command organ first, and let me take unified command. ”

Chen Fei said: "What about the artillery company, the signal company and the engineer company?" The infantry even ran out of candidates. ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then we will expand the number of people in the company to two hundred, so that it will become nine companies, and we will organize the mortars into two companies, and then unify the engineering troops and signal troops into one company, so that our people will just serve as the company commanders of each company." ”

Chen Fei said: "That's a good idea, Captain, what do you think I can do?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "What do you want to do?" ”

Chen Fei smiled: "I want to stay away from this newly built army." ”
