In the familiar buzzing sound,

Amused by the little hyena who has become much tame while lying on the saddle, but still likes to grin, Zhou Huaian sighed as he watched the wall that reappeared in front of him, and finally he could take a good rest.

If it hadn't been for Wang Pan to send someone to urge him again, he would still like to clean up the place longer and put some of his better ideas and methods into practice more. The expropriation and seizure of 21 villages, towns, and villages before and after this has also allowed him to grow to more than 3,000 people as a partial teacher.

This is because he has gone to waste and sacked some, and his physical fitness, habits, and style are really inappropriate. Now everyone has a uniform gray-blue robes, backpacks and outfits, two weapons in length, and a pair of crossbows. Among them, the armor rate of the soldiers has reached at least 40%. However, the local potential and oil and water have almost been squeezed to the limit.

Seeing Chaoyang Chengtou suddenly there are many more stations, some of them are already doing the same thing, some are dying, some are still wailing and crying, they seem to be the handwriting of the work team left by themselves; just hope they don’t Overdoing it, overcorrecting for no reason expands the surface of the attack, but it is necessary to go back and clean up and deal with the aftermath.

It seems that the three city gates have been reopened for a while, and there is a relatively stable flow of people in and out; and at the pier and ferry near the east gate near the river, some ships have also stopped. It seems that the arrangements and conventions left after I left are continuing to be used.

It is nothing more than the abolition of the government’s excessive taxes and servitudes, and the old tune of restoring with the people and encouraging the circulation of industry and commerce; the key is that the rebels have mastered the city’s grain depot and the main types of salt, cloth, firewood and pottery The reserve of civilian materials is qualified to carry out relatively rough regulation and control of the commodity economic system that maintains the daily operation of the city through the opening of the market and the supply of materials.

Suddenly Zhou Huaian raised his head with feeling, and he saw in his extraordinary eyes that there were a few figures pointing in his direction beside the anger banner on the head of the city. They didn't feel so respectful. And polite appearance.

"Is this the virtual monk..."

"Except for short hair, it looks just like that..."

"Don't underestimate others, according to the common words of the brothers in the army."

"That's someone who can go to the city with a license to attack the enemy, but also to appease the rear and govern the army..."

"You didn't see that in many things nowadays, it is not that the generals are very obedient..."

"Even when he was not in the army, there are always people who say "this monk" how and so..."

"If I want to open up a situation in the army, or make a difference..."

"I'm afraid it's time to make a good deal..."

"So let's gather these thoughts and attitudes for now..."

"who.."

With a roar and exclamation in front of him. A stumbling figure suddenly rushed out of the crowd dodges on the side of the road, and fell in front of the slowly moving horse, and suddenly shocked Zhou Huaian's "Pippi Shrimp" for a while, but finally there was nothing. Step on it again.

"All right..."

The man curled up in front of the horse's hoof was pleading.

"I'm so wronged, I want to sue the leader of the rebel army..."

"The chief, please stretch it out for me..."

"Ha... what the hell is this..."

Zhou Huaian looked at the weak figure that suddenly ran out and threw himself in front of his horse. He didn't give birth to a sense of dislocation of time and space. This is the legendary complaint about blocking the horse. How could he be bumped into it? Obviously he still admitted wrong.

"What do you want to ask for..."

Zhou Huaian was still in a good mood and a little curious at the moment. He looked at the man who had been pressed to the ground by two strong soldiers; although it was full of dust, he seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. It is also in this era. It was the middle man who was barely able to serve in the military, and he couldn't help but let down a little bit of caution in his heart.

("Tang Law Commentary", the men who are eligible for service are divided into strong men, middle men and young men, and the age of service ranges from 15 to 55 years old.)

"I want to sue that monk Xu..."

The person who was pressed on the ground couldn't help but his voice hoarse.

"Make people buy and sell in the market..."

At this moment, Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered a not funny joke in the classic movie "Nine Pins of Sesame Officials": "Who is kneeling in the hall, why sue the official?" He just felt a little absurd; he was far away. If you are acting outside, how can you inexplicably carry such a big black pot.

"Fake the name of helping the army, forcibly seizing the arrogant woman from the private house, but has not been returned yet..."

"Also secretly abducting children in the market..."

The people on the ground were still clamoring loudly, but Zhou Huaian had a dull and petrified expression on his left and right. After listening to him talk a lot, no one came back to his senses, but Su Wuming shouted loudly.

"It's so courageous, you know..."

Then the next words were interrupted by Zhou Huaian.

"Enough, disperse the crowd and move on, and bring people on by the way,"

"I just want to know what is going on..."

After all, even if he has always been kind to others in the military, he is unwilling to interfere too much in other people’s affairs; but if someone else pretends to be his own name and acts recklessly, and such a pot on a plain white back is unbearable. Things. Especially under the rule of the Volunteers today, women are forcibly expropriated, and children are abducted and sold. How come it sounds so familiar.

Among the crowd on the side of the avoidance street, there were also a few figures who had just surrounded them, and hurried away from the crowd, but they couldn't wait to report back to them.

After filtering through this unpleasant episode, most of the people were settled in the station in the east gate; then, Zhou Huaian gave orders to Xiaoqi and Liao Yuan, who were beside him, to make the juvenile detective team and the city work. The leader of the team was called privately to come over for inquiries; only then did he freshen up and change his outfit and clothes, and ate a little snack before heading to the inner city where the Chinese army was located.

Wang Pan, who had already received the news, not only greeted him at the gate of Chaozhou's government office, but also specially arranged someone to prepare for the banquet tonight, saying that he wanted to celebrate and reward him for his return and hard work.

In the settlement and reporting of many affairs, Zhou Huaian also noticed the position of Wang Pan’s left hand. There was an extra man with dark skin and long hands and feet; he gave birth to a thin face and thick eyebrows, tightly closed thin lips and The straight bridge of the nose faintly shows that this is a quite determined and assertive character.

Just standing there without talking, it will naturally have an invisible deterrent, and the brigade commanders and school lieutenants who are a little informal or like to laugh will involuntarily converge and deter them. ;

According to Wang Pan’s introduction on the spot, he is the well-known old man of Stormrage Camp—Ding Hui, and he is also the deputy appointed by the military government this time; he also brought a dissatisfied battalion head and 1,000 servants from Guangzhou. , A transportation team composed of two hundred pack animals came to take up their duties. It was only because of delays by many things that Zhou Huaian did not arrive in the army until a few days before he left.

After returning this time, Zhou Huaian found that he had two more deputies. One was the newly appointed battalion deputy commander, Lin Zhong, who was a staff official who had only recently been assigned by the military plan. The editor and trainer in the team is called Liu Zhi, but he was born as a teacher of the Wuju Township Examination. It is said that he came with a number of subordinates and the deputy general Ding Hui who returned to the Stormrage Camp.

Two deputies were parachuted down at once. Needless to say, they were used to mix sand and balance the daily life; otherwise, those who didn’t come early and didn’t come late, had always left the manpower required by Stormrage Camp vacant; they just waited until the relevant people of Stormrage Camp. After Lien Chan had regained a lot of territory, he suddenly arranged three leaders at the level of leaders, bringing their own teams to take up their posts.

But it really proved a mixed thing. The good news is that this represents the Grand General’s further value on this armed force, and the intention to strengthen its influence and indirect control; the worry is that this also means the possibility of fighting for power in a sense, and letting the original Relatively smooth and smooth internal relationships and structures have become complicated; it can be said that Stormrage Camp is also troublesome.

But like some kind of balance or compensation, after Wang Pan’s sudden and somewhat unexpected announcement, Zhou Huaian was appointed by the so-called defense master book; thus, he became Stormrage Camp or Said to be the third person in this Longjiang Town Defense Force, second only to the defense officer Wang Pan, and the deputy defense officer Dinghui;

However, because Zhou Huaian led the rear battalion and served as the resident team's editor and trainer, and was also responsible for all the battalion tasks that the heavy squad wanted to do. As a result, the heads directly or indirectly controlled by his subordinates accounted for almost half of the storm camp. Compiled.

Therefore, it is a natural trend to restrict and divert authority. After all, a leader who does not know how to balance and restrict the power of his men is destined to not go far.

On the other hand, the main reason is that, in the previous performance, it has far exceeded the tone of the Cantonese side. Based on the merits and reputation of the military government afterwards, the military size of the Longjiang Town Defense Force has also been relaxed. Therefore, the sub-campaigns formed in private have also obtained the qualifications for further expansion of the camp;

According to the latest job divisions, the central battalion with 1,200 personnel and the most savvy former battalion with 800 personnel will be led by the head Wang Pan; the newly arrived Dinghui will be the one with 1,000 personnel for each of the two battalions. boss. As for the many people in the half-camp that he brought, because of the degree of unevenness, only a hundred people who are fairly fine and healthy were selected as the lieutenants, and the others were scattered and filled in the team according to Wang Pan's requirements. To make up for the garrison power of the place.

In the end, it was Zhou Huai'an who expanded to a rear battalion with eight hundred people and several major teams to which he belonged; therefore, an asymmetrical and concealed three-legged triad with Wang Pan as the leading and core was formed in the army;

Therefore, when this temporary military meeting got here, Zhou Huaian suddenly felt that he was going to take back his previous evaluation and judgment of Wang Pan; although he seemed a little slack and intolerant of tedious tasks, he was at the critical point. On the issue, there is no ambiguity at all, or it has its own ideas and countermeasures.

No, thanks to the opportunity and reason of my own return, I was able to eliminate and fight in a blink of an eye at this temporary meeting, which led the situation to another favorable direction; as expected, in the face of natural rights, there was no A superior person can be as simple as a fool or easy to make mistakes.
