Chapter 137: The Return
When Ma Shuo left, he left all the infantry at Xiaolongkou.
However, the infantry was divided into left and right battalions, each with more than 5,000 men. Later, according to the development of the situation, Mark reorganized and expanded the entire infantry, and the reorganized infantry battalion was divided into five battalions, distributed into the first, second, third, fourth and fifth battalions. The size of each battalion was maintained at 5,000 combatants and 2,000 logistics baggage personnel. In addition, each infantry battalion was equipped with a hundred scout cavalry. So, each battalion is almost 7,000 people.
In this way, the total number of the five infantry battalions was more than 35,000.
At this time, the first and second battalions of infantry were stationed at Xiaolongkou, and the old foundation was the original left and right infantry battalions. Among them, Cui Xiucheng was the captain of the first battalion, and this small-scale rebellion happened in the first battalion.
The initiator of the rebellion was none other than that Takeo.
The last time the Left Infantry Battalion and the Right Infantry Battalion were reorganized, Takeo was resentful because he was taken down the position of commander of a thousand troops, and secretly co-opted a group of people from below. This time, when the infantry was expanded and reorganized again, Takeo still did not get promoted, but still became a hundred chiefs. On the contrary, many young guys who entered with him were given the opportunity to be promoted, some were promoted from a hundred commanders to a thousand commanders, and some were promoted from a thousand commanders to captains.
Anyway, this time Takeo was ignored again.
Of course, this is Takeo's own feelings, in fact, he doesn't know that his every move has already been reported to Mark by the hidden guard. Mark didn't move him for the time being, in fact, he wanted to see how many impure minds there were in his team. Mark wanted to use Takeo's hand to gather all those people so that they could be caught in the last net.
This time, the reason why Takeo chose to take a risk was mainly because Cui Xiu gave Takeo a task, a task that seemed dangerous and difficult to complete. After receiving this task, Takeo's first reaction was that Cui Xiucheng was deliberately targeting himself, or rather cheating himself.
So, Takeo was ruthless and decided to start a rebellion. Takeo's plan, as long as he kills Cui Xiucheng and takes the opportunity to take control of the first battalion, then he will take his men and horses to defect to other forces.
I believe that with these more than 7,000 people, any force is willing to accept him. However, Takeo didn't think about another thing, that is, who would really accept a rebel?
This time, Takeo gathered a total of nearly 500 people to act together. I have to admit that this guy has spent a lot of time during this time, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to pull so many people in. However, these nearly 500 people are all from various militia groups, and although they have been integrated into the infantry camp, they still have not let go of their original identities in their hearts and have not really integrated in.
This kind of existence is exactly what Mark wants to get rid of from the team. The black sheep must not be left behind.
Takeo's choice of time and place was carefully designed. He knew what route Cui Xiucheng would follow every day, so he would definitely ambush the people and horses on Cui Xiucheng's inevitable path, and unfold the details while Cui Xiucheng was passing by, and directly kill Cui Xiucheng. Then, he can use Cui Xiucheng's lieutenant token to gain control of the first battalion.
Takeo really thinks it is quite good. However, the reality is very cruel. When Takeo rushed out of the ambush with people to surround Cui Xiucheng, what he saw was Cui Xiucheng with a calm face and a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, not Cui Xiucheng who was panicked.
Choi so-sung's performance made Takeshi's heart chuckle, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled. It's just that by the time he came to his senses, it was already too late. A larger encirclement has already encircled them to the death, and all the arrows that can be shot at any time lock on to Takeo and the others, and it only takes Cui Xiucheng's order to turn Takeo and the others into hedgehogs.
Kill!
At this time, Cui Xiucheng will not be soft.
After a few breaths, Takeo and the others, who thought they were winning, became hedgehogs full of arrows, and with great disappointment and unwillingness to lose their lives, they became corpses.
This time, in addition to the more than 500 people who followed Takeo to kill Cui Xiucheng, there were also some implicated guys, adding up to nearly 700 people. Of course, among the small 200 people involved, some of them were actually spies infiltrated by other forces. This time, Mark asked Choi so-sung to clean up together with Takeo's affairs.
The rebellion of Takeo and others did not actually have much impact on the infantry camp. Because all this is always under control, it's just that Takeo himself has been blinded by jealousy, so he has always thought that his actions are very hidden, and others are unaware.
However, the rebellion of Takeo and others also aroused Mark's vigilance, and the sources of the men under his command were diverse, so the thoughts of each person were very complicated. Therefore, it is necessary to vigorously grasp the ideological education of the people. Of course, this idea of ideological education is still what Ma Shuo said to Mark in the letter, to put it bluntly, it is to unify everyone's understanding, and everyone thinks in one place and works hard in one place.
When Mark was vigorously carrying out ideological education in the infantry camp, Ma Shuo finally returned to Xiaolongkou with a group of cavalry.
When the brothers met again, they were naturally very affectionate. During this time, Mark grew a lot stronger, fifteen or sixteen-year-old guys, and the big man was the average twenty-five or sixteen person couldn't catch up. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a beard on his mouth, he really couldn't believe that a dignified border soldier joined the army was actually a doll who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Of course, Mark will only show his childish side in front of Ma Shuo, the eldest brother.
When no one else was present, Mark excitedly told Ma Shuo everything that had happened recently, especially his handling in Huangsha City. According to Ma Shuo's suggestion, he not only controlled the military power of the entire Huangsha City, but also seized the financial power of the Huangsha City.
Of course, Mark's main focus is still on the military side, so the financial affairs are specifically done by Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng is now nominally the long history of the City Lord's Mansion of Huangsha City.
With Fan Zeng's wisdom, it is still very easy to elevate Ximenxiong, the city lord. Therefore, during this period of time, many positions in Huangsha City have been replaced by Ma Shuo's people. In other words, as long as Ma Shuo is willing, he can replace the ruler of Huangsha City at any time.
Hearing these news, Ma Shuo was naturally very happy, he didn't expect that Mark's side was doing even better than he expected.
Originally, it was just in case, but I didn't expect to actually use it now!
