Zhou Wen said that they were going to use Wang Guozhu, not to comfort people, but because they had real plans. He talked with Wang Guozhu on the road and learned that these miners were basically young and strong laborers. Most of them have more than five years of mining work experience and are experts in digging holes, surveying terrain, digging soil and digging pits.
In particular, Wang Guozhu and a man named Li Dagui both learned how to blast. Being able to explode is an incredible technology in this era. It is said that Wang Guozhu's father is the most powerful blaster in Zhongyang County, and that Li Dagui is his father's apprentice. Building roads in mountains, opening mines, and mining all require blasting open some hard rocks and mountains. Wang Guozhu's father was once built by Zheng Fu, and it was during that time that he learned blasting techniques from foreign consultants.
He can read the terrain, dig mines, build roads, blast, endure hardships and obey orders. These miners are exactly what Zhou Wen thinks of as engineers. After rigorous military training, they have mastered the skills of engineers, which is another affiliated unit of the mercenary regiment - the engineering team. These people were all in their twenties, and when the Anti-Japanese War broke out seven years later, it was the right time to fight.
Let them train with the security team for a period of time first, and then send them out to help with the road construction in the spring, so that training and work can be balanced.
Zhou Wen couldn't care less about the following things. We have a plan and people, and we will leave the rest to Dad and the others. In addition to Miaohua, the military training instructors also retained ten team members. One person is responsible for fifty recruits. This is how he brought them out back then. He just follows his own routine and just controls the training intensity appropriately.
After all, the newly recruited soldiers' physical condition is not as good as that of the brothers before, and without the help of his own Prajna Qi, if he followed the training intensity that he set back then, he would probably be trained to death. As for more advanced machine gun and artillery training, that will have to wait until the equipment is available.
Zhou Wen wanted to go home first with his good brother Xu Dacheng. Xu Dacheng's parents still don't know that their son is still alive. Zhou Wen was his childhood friend and good brother. After returning home, he wanted to take away someone else's son. He had to go to Dacheng's house to explain clearly both emotionally and rationally.
There is no need to go into details about going to Xu Dacheng’s house. His parents cried with joy after seeing him. Especially his mother, who hugged him and cried while her beloved one kept screaming, which made all the brothers feel sad. Seeing that his son had grown tall and strong and was already a lieutenant officer, Dacheng's father was extremely happy. They invited all the famous squires and elders in Loufan Town. There was a banquet for three days.
Three days later, Zhou Wen and the others were leaving. When parting, Xu Dacheng's father said to Zhou Wen with sincerity: "Awen, you and Dacheng have been brothers since childhood. Now that you have made a career, don't worry about leaving Dacheng to your uncle. His mother and I have nothing to do with him eating military meals with you. Opinion, I know that it is more popular to hold a gun than a pen these days. Just one thing, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to my uncle. I can't help you, but I still have a few coins, so I hope you won't let anyone know about it. "
Zhou Wen was also very surprised. He originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of time, but in the end, Dacheng's parents really believed in him and handed their son over to him. While feeling moved, I also secretly reminded myself that I must not let down the expectations of the old people. I must work hard to cherish the friendship and lives of these brothers in the future battles.
When Xu Dacheng returned home this time, he did not find Huang San, the boy who betrayed him and Zhou Wen to Xiong San. According to Dacheng’s parents, there was no news about Huang San after Dacheng disappeared. He probably ran out of Taiyuan. This also made Xu Dacheng depressed. Zhou Wen, however, thought broadly and persuaded Xu Dacheng: "There is no need to worry about such a villain. If you encounter him, just shoot him. I feel that I will run into him sooner or later."
"Awen, isn't this going to kill someone?" Xu Dacheng felt that Zhou Wen was very murderous.
"Okay, okay, as long as he is caught, you have the final say on his life or death."
Zhou Wen learned through Xu Dacheng’s family that Huang San’s family had been helping Dacheng’s family for many years. His mother fell ill and died earlier. Later, when his father went to help his employer collect rent, he encountered a flash flood and disappeared. Dacheng's parents took pity on his situation and made him work as a servant with Dacheng. In fact, it can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous. This kid probably blamed his employer for the death of his parents.
…
Four days later, Zhou Wen and the others returned to Taiyuan.
Now the Provincial Party Headquarters has its own official office location, located on Fudong Street. It is only a few hundred meters away from the Governor's Mansion, where the provincial capital is located. And there are two western-style buildings, one large and one small, right next to each other, surrounded by walls, and there is a large open space in the middle for parking. The large three-story building is naturally the office location of Liu Ruoshui and his subordinate departments. The small second floor was allocated to Zhou Wen's security office.
"The attitude of the Shanxi Provincial Government is quite good. It really took a lot of effort." Zhou Wen was currently sighing while sitting on a comfortable leather sofa in his spacious and bright office. When I went to Liu Ruoshui's office just now, I was slightly surprised by the luxurious decoration and layout inside. Now I look at my own office. It has leather sofas, mahogany coffee tables embossed with various exquisite patterns, wardrobes and bookshelves, not to mention the terrifyingly large desk. Knowing that Liu Ruoshui's strategy of Xiao Gui and Cao Sui worked.
There are more than 100 counties in Shanxi. Except for several counties Liu Ruoshui passed along the way, such as Lishi and Jincheng, Liu Ruoshui handed all the letters of appointment from the National Government in other counties to Shanxi Provincial Chairman Xu Chief. The meaning is very clear. I have no intention of intervening in Shanxi's military affairs, nor do I have any intention of changing the existing structure. I am only responsible for party affairs.
Naturally, Chief Xu reciprocated the favor and carefully arranged such an exquisite courtyard building for the Provincial Party Headquarters. All office equipment was neatly arranged. Several major departments were equipped with telephones, or two, one for external use and one for internal use. It seems that the price paid is not small.
As for how much money Chief Xu spent and how many twists and turns he made, Zhou Wen didn't worry about it. During his absence, Gao Xiaoshan had arranged the affairs of the security office in an orderly manner. The telecommunications department is located next to Zhou Wen's office. Of course, there are only two people now, Zhou Yongbin and Hong Xiu, father and daughter. But the station was already at work. Zhou Yongbin had already prepared the internal power code for the mercenary group. The connection with Lishi County is already very convenient.
Zhou Wen's top priority now is to establish the security team of the Security Department. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for the current guards at the door of the party headquarters to be all military officers. What's more, it would be a waste of talent to use mercenary regiments to guard the door.
He had already communicated with Liu Ruoshui just now. Liu Ruoshui also agreed and would greet the provincial chairman, Chief Xu. After all, even if it's just a guard, it's still an army, right? We still need to show due respect to the Shanxi Provincial Government. At the same time, returning to Lishi this time can be regarded as another contribution to this big brother.
What gong are you asking about?
Is it considered meritorious to annihilate the red bandits who wanted to launch a riot in the county? There was a blood letter written by the former county magistrate before his death, and there were reports jointly signed by hundreds of gentry and elders from Lishi. Not even a red bandit. What's more, party branches have been established at the grassroots level in Lishi County. These are worthy of Liu Ruoshui's bragging when reporting work to his superiors.
