At this time, a large number of people gathered in the camp area of the 323rd Battalion.
People from nearby troops also came to join in the fun, and there were also people who came to the peak for random inspections, all gathered together in dense crowds, and so on.
Han Laosan, Li Shundang, Blind Cao, Cripple Liu, all these bandit leaders were squatting on the ground with grimaces on their faces, and their hands were tied with hemp ropes. They looked as embarrassed as they wanted.
The brothers from the original Song Army who followed Zhao Ming to kill all day and night, all stood with straight backs and swords, looking like a group of generals who had returned from victory.
So cool!
They saw many people from the main force coming to watch, and when they heard their deeds, they made sounds of surprise from time to time.
The more these people were surprised, the happier they were.
Damn it, after being suppressed for two years, I finally feel proud.
If it weren't for the lack of food and grass, and because of the failure in Xi'an Mansion, how could it have been defeated or even incorporated by you?
I can't believe it was you who were recruited in the first place!
Equally happy were the bankers and the swordsmen who had followed Zhao Ming early.
These brothers gathered in front of Zhao Ming, because there were many military officers gathered around Zhao Ming at this moment, although most of these people praised their Master Zhao.
But these compliments now seem to be compliments of themselves.
"Brother Zhao, when you become famous in the future, you must not forget my brother!" Zhang Kai licked his face and smiled beside Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming sneered secretly at this.
You old boy, you still have the nerve to say that.
But Zhao Ming didn't have any resentment towards Zhang Kai.
Not to mention that the other party did give him a chance, otherwise he would not be able to get involved in this series of things.
"Xiao Zhao, you really gave us a bad breath. Alas, it's been a long time since my brothers in the Song Army have seen such smiles on their faces.
They are following you, I don’t worry! I also don’t know how you will be appointed at the subsequent summit. "
Liu Wu smoked a cigarette, feeling both emotional and worried.
In his own opinion, he certainly hopes that Zhao Ming will continue to rule these brothers who suppress the Song Army.
Just because Zhao Ming achieved such great military exploits and suffered such low battle losses, Zhao Ming truly cared for his brothers.
Being able to care for the soldiers below, Liu Wu felt that it was worthwhile for these brothers to follow Zhao Ming.
Listening to Liu Wu's chat again, Zhao Ming became clearer about the history of this Song-suppressing army.
It started with 3,000 people and was established in 12 years. At first, it was really just an army formed by a group of green forests.
After many reorganizations, in 25 years, Marshal Liu's expansion attracted a large number of members of the Broadsword Society, bandits, and the Red Spear Society.
It was like mixing the crowd together again.
After its formation, the Song Suppression Army's performance was still good. In 26 years, the National Army's Second Army, with more than 200,000 troops, was defeated by the Song Suppression Army led by Marshal Liu.
Then they entered Tongguan and launched the siege of Xi'an Prefecture.
However, due to the resistance of two tiger generals, August failed to break the city.
Later, they were defeated by Marshal Feng, and the army was defeated. Some of them were fled back to western Henan by Marshal Liu.
After listening to Liu Wu's description, Zhao Ming's memory of Marshal Liu gradually became clearer.
It seems that this Marshal Liu is really no ordinary person!
Zhao Ming suddenly remembered that the Song Zhenjun under Marshal Liu also performed exceptionally well in the war of resistance.
It is said that in history, Marshal Liu became insane later on, and the Song Army was put in charge of his younger brother Liu Mao.
The Zhensong Army was later reorganized into the 15th Army and went north to fight the war.
He successively participated in famous battles such as Taiyuan, Henzhong, and Zhongtiao Mountain.
In the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, Luoyang had a pivotal strategic position at that time, but many of the defending generals abandoned the city and fled.
Only the 15th Army and the 94th Division were left to guard Luoyang.
And because most of the reorganized Zhensong Army were from western Henan, they knew that guarding Luoyang meant guarding their hometown.
Therefore, the war spirit was high, and relying on crude equipment and flesh and blood, the Japanese advanced weapons, aircraft and artillery bombarded them indiscriminately for 14 days and nights.
There was an endless stream of reinforcements from the Japanese, but the 15th Army, the Song-suppressing Army, was fighting alone.
In the end, Luoyang fell, with 16,000 troops participating in the battle, but less than 2,000 broke through after the war.
History's evaluation of this Song-suppressing army is that it was first-class in causing harm to the people and was also first-class in the war of resistance.
While Zhao Ming was thinking about it, a messenger came over and whispered.
Zhao Ming nodded, smiled and said goodbye to Liu Wu and Zhang Kai for the time being, and then led by the messenger soldier to a private house not far away.
As expected of a commander, no matter where he works, there are always guards outside.
After handing over all the guns and blades on his body, Zhao Ming was able to enter.
The room was very dark, with only a small window revealing light.
What was more obvious was the wisp of sparks inside. Someone was sitting on a chair, smoking slowly, and seemed to be looking at him.
"Sir! Zhao Ming, a humble official!"
Zhao Ming was very sensible and stood at attention and saluted directly.
But after Zhao Ming finished speaking, the other party was silent for a long time.
In such a dead atmosphere, time passed little by little, and Zhao Ming secretly thought something was wrong.
It seemed that the other party wanted to give him a blow!
I also guessed what was going on.
However, Zhao Ming remained calm on the surface, with his back straight and his eyes not squinting. He just stood there quietly without any intention of asking.
As time passed, Song Zhedu began to smoke his second cigarette.
He is also quite puzzled now. How can this guy be as shrewd as an old fox even though he is still young? This is too calming.
After a while, seeing that Zhao Ming was still silent, Song Zhe took the lead to break the silence.
"You are so brave! Kill prisoners? Who asked you to do this? Do you believe I can kill you now?"
"Believe it! But I don't think the commander will kill me!"
"Oh? Why? Don't tell me about your achievements, merit is merit, fault is fault! It won't work here!"
Song Zhe said calmly, his momentum was at full strength, he was determined to suppress this stupid boy Zhao Ming.
But anyone who knows him well knows that he has decided to train Zhao Ming as his confidant.
However, young people will inevitably need to be hammered. In Song Zhe's view, Zhao Ming is a piece of rough jade, but before it is carved, it is still a rough jade, and it has not yet been able to bloom its peerless brilliance.
Now Zhao Ming has shown a very dissatisfied nature. If he continues to let this go, he will probably be the next Marshal Liu.
This is what Song Zhe doesn't want to see. What he needs is a Zhao Ming who can strictly carry out orders and obey discipline.
But the next moment, Zhao Ming spoke again.
"Because if sir, you give me the number of a thousand-man army and a place to stay temporarily, I can put down the banditry in Guanzhong for you, sir, half a year in advance!"
As soon as Zhao Ming said these words, Song Zhe's face suddenly sank.
This kid must be taken care of.
