Everyone was silent for a moment. Zhang Liang stood up and asked,"Young Master, when are we going to attack the county?”
"We have a lot of new recruits, but we don't have enough combat power. It's mid-July now, and I plan to take down the surrounding four counties in a month's time, at least by the end of August.”
"Young Master, among the bandits we captured, there are some who have a good foundation. Can we recruit them into the army?”
Nie Wenzhou took a deep look at the fourth battalion commander, Qian Buqian, and then said firmly,""If the other party is the kind of person who kills without batting an eye and is filled with evil, we can't hire him even if he is as brave as Guan Yu or Qin Qiong. We have to make decisions for the people. If they see us recruiting their enemies, how can we win the hearts of the people? Even if the military's combat power drops, I don't want us to become another warlord who preys on the people.”
Everyone immediately felt sad and stopped playing any tricks.
Although Nie Wenzhou had been slacking off these days, he probably didn't care about the situation in the army.
A few days ago, he had discovered that some people were secretly shielding some heinous bandits in order to increase the number of fierce generals under their command. They were simply treating him, Nie Wenzhou, as a decoration.
This team had just opened, and there were already some people who wanted to take advantage of him. Nie Wenzhou had already labeled these people as not to be reused.
Nie Wenzhou saw that no one had anything to say, so he commended the various departments for their achievements and gave them a large amount of bonuses. Only then did he let everyone take the military plan back to reorganize.
Everyone who walked out of the meeting room had different expressions.
Those who had been promoted were in high spirits, while those who had been reprimanded were secretly restrained.
Now, they were no longer civilians. They were soldiers, and there were military rules and discipline.
Many people couldn't help but secretly reflect on whether their recent behavior had gone overboard. After all, suddenly holding power was a sudden expansion.
．．．．．．
A month later, Nie Wenzhou looked at the information in his hands.
Now, the People's Army had completed the initial reorganization.
There were eight regiments in a division. The division headquarters, including the guard regiment, the baggage regiment, the artillery regiment, and so on, added up to 6,000 people. Due to the lack of artillery and machine guns, the regiments could only reach 2,000 people.
After a month of intensive training, the combat strength of each division had recovered a lot. Although they were not as elite as before, they had more people and more guns!
From the information gathered from all sides, the conflict between the factions in Beiyang had begun to become serious. The north and south were also fighting endlessly.
Western Henan was now under the jurisdiction of the Northern Warlords, but Shaanxi was a conflict between the various civilian armies left behind from the 1911 period and the Northern Warlords. As long as he did not show off too much, no one should come to find trouble with him!
However, to avoid trouble, he still had to smooth out the corresponding relationship.
Nie Wenzhou had already sent people to the capital to bribe the relevant important officials and take the position of Guardian of a few counties in western Yu. At that time, they could openly expand their army.
In the past month, he had been buying supplies. He had bought another 20,000 rifles, a few million rounds of ammunition, 50 cannons, and a few more rounds of ammunition. It was time to make a move.
A few days later, after Nie Wenzhou was sure that he had obtained the position of Guardian, he did not hold a battle meeting and directly issued an order to attack.
Four counties, two regiments attacking a county together. Even the guard regiment and artillery regiment were dragged in to train. In less than two days, there was good news that the target had been occupied.
．．．．．．
Lushi County
Nie Wenzhou held a commendation meeting in the big house of the county government. Everyone from the camp and above attended the meeting, including the newly appointed county head.
Large banners were hung both inside and outside the county government, which read," Celebrating the establishment of the Guardian's Residence in West Henan and the successful opening of the People's Army Commending Ceremony." Anyway, the scene was grand.
Nie Wenzhou used everything he had seen before to make an ordinary meeting look like a Congress meeting.
The ordinary people in the county only knew that their superiors had changed, but they didn't know what was going on. They could only watch the commotion and then go do what they were supposed to do.
at the venue
Nie Wenzhou, the commander of the division headquarters, and a few county heads sat together on the platform. The other regiments sat together according to their regiments.
As the host, Deng Kewu began his short speech. Then, there was a long speech by the BOSS, Nie Wenzhou, encouraging everyone to work hard and achieve new results.
At the end, there were a few outstanding individuals or groups who spoke. All of them were working hard to study and continue to fight, supporting Marshal Nie, and so on.
Nie Wenzhou gave everyone another big red flower before leaving in the midst of everyone's excitement.
The high-level internal meeting was the highlight.
The division head, regiment commanders, and county heads sat down and the meeting began.
Now that Nie Wenzhou had a territory, he would definitely develop it vigorously.
However, when he announced the first rule, everyone was in a commotion again.
The first policy was to exempt the agricultural tax within the jurisdiction.
This was an unprecedented first!
Even America, which was known as the world's number one, did not completely exempt agricultural taxes, let alone China, which was mainly agricultural.
In fact, the agricultural tax in these counties was not much. Nie Wenzhou did not lack this money.
He urgently needed to develop agriculture and agriculture. Without such preferential treatment, how could he guarantee the rapid development of the area under his jurisdiction?
Next, he would build a fertilizer plant, a steel plant, an arsenal, a textile plant, a cement plant, and so on. The scale was not very large.
The fertilizer plant could also be used as raw materials for gunpowder, the steel plant needed to purchase steel or ores, and the arsenal only needed to have the ability to develop and produce bullets and shells for the time being.
The other civilian industries were simple matters. He just had to instruct them to handle them.
Nie Wenzhou focused on the fertilizer plant and the arsenal. He couldn't buy so much ammunition without limit, so he had to produce his own.
He could immediately purchase a production line from the system, but he couldn't buy workers and engineers.
However, if you think that he will slowly nurture himself, then you are naive.
．．．．．．
"Young Master, oh, no, Major, Ryuji and the others sent a message saying that the people the Major wants are almost all here. They will arrive in a month or so. The European side had already sent people to Italy and entered Switzerland from there. Once the country surrendered, they would go in and recruit people. Now, he could confirm that the fertilizer plant, steel plant, and arsenal needed enough technicians. But, uh, that...
"Stop stammering. If you have something to say, say it.”
"Ryuji said that most of these people were kidnapped.”
"Oh! These people were not interested in building the country's industrial strength, so he would punish them to contribute more!”
It was a wonder that she could make kidnapping sound so dignified now.
Hundreds of technicians had been kidnapped from famous factories in the country, such as Gongxian Munitions Factory, Hanyang Munitions Factory, and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.
Although the higher-ups didn't pay much attention to his work, it was still more practical than this new factory.
As a result, the people who went to recruit all ate the dust.
They only recruited a dozen or so down-and-out technicians, and not a single engineer.
There was no other way. It was impossible to not complete the mission.
When they came out, the young marshal said that they could act as they pleased. Wasn't this the situation he was referring to?
This thick black was indeed of the same origin!
