At the end of the regular military meeting, all the brothers stood up and saluted in imitation of the Russian military system before turning around and leaving, each going about his or her own business..././
After everyone else left, Song Biao stood up and clasped fists with Guo Changfeng and others who were sitting next to him in a daze and said: "Fourth Master Guo, I am reprimanding these brothers for not being polite to you, please forgive me."
Guo Changfeng felt that Song Biao was throwing a Hongmen banquet for him. He felt uneasy. He stood up with a smile and clasped his fists and said: "Master Biao, you're welcome. From now on, we are one family. This family does not speak the same language.
It has been said since ancient times that there is no rule without rules. If the children make mistakes, they must be severely reprimanded like you. Strict family laws should be followed."
Song Biao asked Guo Changfeng and others to sit down without any expression, and then waved Li Fugui and others in, brought the conference table back again, and poured tea for these brothers in Hongtuya. Guo Changfeng took his brothers
They all introduced him to Song Biao.
After being polite, Song Biao and Guo Changfeng asked: "Fourth Master, are you here to work with me now, or do you have other ideas?"
Guo Changfeng laughed loudly and said: "Master Biao, now you are famous and have a rich family. If you have more of me, it won't be too much, and if you have less of me, it won't be much. But our brothers still want to follow you to do great things. If you eat meat, you can give our brothers
If we drink a bowl of soup, we brothers will be very grateful!"
Song Biao nodded slightly without much expression. He remembered that he happened to have a pack of Russian cigarettes with him, so he took out the pack of cigarettes and distributed them to everyone. Then he suggested to Guo Changfeng: "Fourth Master, I am the only person to speak.
It has always been simple and direct. Making a beard is not a long-term solution. You and your brothers will follow me and I promise to treat you as my own people. The condition is that you must obey my discipline. I don’t want to practice as rigorously and hard as other brothers.
Dare to fight, dare to work hard, guard a certain area and become a rich man, and I will treat everyone equally in the future. I think this is unlikely. If you just want to hang with me and have no real intention to follow me as a soldier for the time being, then hang alone.
It’s just a sign of Hongtuya Security Brigade, I won’t embarrass you.”
Guo Changfeng said hurriedly: "Master Biao, what you said is really out of touch. The brothers really want to follow you. You have scattered all the brothers in our village and assigned them to various troops. I don't have any
No complaints, because I believe in you, and I believe you will not let our brothers suffer. As the old saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero, and you are a hero. I know the current affairs!"
Song Biao laughed lightly, feeling that Fourth Master Guo understood this very interestingly, and said: "Okay, you know, I am really short of manpower here. My idea is to use your team
Divided into two, one part stayed in Hongtu Cliff to form a patrol team and continued to take care of things there, and the other part was transferred out and separately organized into the Second Reconnaissance Company, under the direct command of my division. The so-called reconnaissance company is us
The spies in the local dialect are responsible for watching the wind and sentry outside to collect intelligence on the enemy. For example, if Japan sends troops to our area to play swings, we must know in advance and prepare in advance to catch them off guard. The team must be organized first.
A company, you have the position and salary of the battalion commander, just report to me directly if you have any issues."
Fourth Master Guo immediately stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "Master Biao, with your words, it is your words that I, Guo Fourth, are waiting for. To be honest with you, in fact, I also brought my family wealth to join you. Of course,
, our family's wealth is far from being comparable to yours, but these three hundred brothers must also have sincerity. When we brothers are put together, we will not be separated as brothers, and we will not be separated by the ocean. We will all carry our family's wealth and follow you to do great things.
.To use a foreign phrase, all our family wealth has been donated to you, Master Biao."
Song Biao stood up and thanked Fourth Master Guo and several other heads of Hongtuya Village with clasped fists: "Thank you very much for your trust. I, Song Biao, will tell you all here that as long as you let me, Song Biao, achieve great things in this life,
, Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly. My rules are a bit strict, but the brothers who follow me are not here to be bandits, but to do big things, to do something that will honor our ancestors, and to do something that will be on the graves of our ancestors.
We must be stricter about the smoke issue, so that we can get rid of all these things."
Upon hearing this, Fourth Master Guo and the other brothers in charge immediately replied: "Master Biao, our brothers are going to defect to you to do some big things, whether it is to kill the Japanese or the Russians, it all depends on your words.
matter."
After everyone finished speaking, Mr. Guo continued: "Master Biao, let me say one more big thing on behalf of our brothers. You are going to rebel, and our brothers will follow you. No one in Guandong can match your ability, so let's put it aside."
In the Qing Dynasty, no one could compare with it. I quarreled with my brothers and raised my thumbs when talking about you. I think Li Hongzhang did not work in Little Japan back then. The current governor of Zhili is named Yuan, right?
Isn't it said that he was rolled all over the floor by Little Japan back then? You, a good guy, killed tens of thousands, that would be quite enjoyable. Don't look at Little Japan also sent some bullets to us, but our hearts are really
I've been unhappy with him for several lifetimes, and I've long wanted to hit him with a fucking stick, but I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat them."
Song Biao gave a hearty high-five and said: "Follow me and kill the foreign devils. There are many opportunities. Fourth Master and brothers, please rest assured. Okay, from now on, you brothers from Hongtuya are my subordinates."
.The place at Hongtuya will be under the control of me, Song Biao, from now on. Let’s have some wine tonight and keep drinking till we get drunk.”
"Thank you, Master Biao, for your appreciation!"
Guo Changfeng and others were excited. They knew that from now on, they would be a member of the Manchurian Infantry Division. Little Japan would have to take a detour when encountering them. Not to mention that the Qing Dynasty was currently thinking of recruiting troops. Even if they did not recruit troops, only those from the Eight Banners Battalion and the Green Camp would
Damn it, which Qing army dared to provoke the Manchurian Infantry Division?
The brothers all understand in their hearts!
After Song Biao and Guo Changfeng reached an agreement, they asked people to prepare a banquet in Niujiabao and officially organize a wedding banquet for the brothers in Hongtuya. Song Biao sent Zhao Tingzhu to Hongtuya to organize it together.
Taking advantage of the afternoon break, Song Biao personally took Guo Changfeng and the brothers from Hongtuya to watch the training of Yang Tiesheng's team. From formation training to tactical drills, after observing the whole set of training, Guo Changfeng and others secretly smacked their lips in admiration.
Endless.
Only when they really set foot inside the Manchurian Infantry Division can they feel how big the gap is between Song Biao's troops and the bandits. Song Biao has arranged for more than ten Russian non-commissioned officers to serve as instructors. From top to bottom, even without Song Biao
No matter how careful the adjustment is, the regular training of the troops is also in order and completely adopts Western-style drills.
The whole division basically has two sets of regular uniforms, one is the gray woolen military coat of the Russian army, and the other is the Japanese m1886 dark blue winter coat as training uniform. With the help of Russian instructors, Niujiabao North
The Beidian Artillery Training Camp on the side has been established, and more than 20 Japanese 31-type rapid-fire guns are used as drill guns for normal drills.
The cavalry training camp of the Manchurian Infantry Division is located between Nandian Village and Niujiabao. The stable base is set up here. There are still more than a thousand horses reserved for training, all of which are senior officers selected from the Cossack cavalry.
Coach, we are currently at the size of a cavalry battalion, and will soon develop to the size of a regiment.
Guo Changfeng and others took a quick look at it, they were really envious.
After waiting for two days, Guo Changfeng and his group were all settled. Song Biao personally gave them a batch of officer uniforms, which they wore in a human-like manner and equipped with revolvers. Then they all rode and snatched them from the Japanese army.
Dongyang Dama went all the way to Hongtu Cliff to carry out the formal reception work.
Hongtuya is named after the mountains within the territory are mostly covered with red soil. According to the jurisdiction, it belongs to Tonghua County, but it still belongs to the Hunjiang area in a broad sense. Guo Changfeng's village is located in a place called Qijiidaogou. There is a gold mine here.
, Guo Changfeng lives his life guarding this gold mine.
Because of the gold mines, Guo Changfeng's bearded men rarely go out to rob. But like other powerful beard teams, they generally rely on collecting local protection fees to survive. But unlike Liu Tongpao, Guo Changfeng does not work in the local area.
Hoard.
Hongtuya does have a lot of fields that can be cultivated. There are more than a thousand acres of land along the Hongtuya River. Because it is a border area, there are few people and the land is barren. Most of the areas are flat forests. After the trees are cut down,
It can be the most fertile tract of farmland.
Song Biao led a team of men and horses, and together with Guo Changfeng's team rode to the village of 72 Daogou. Looking along the way, he estimated that at least 7,000 acres of land could be reclaimed in the entire Hongtu Cliff.
What a great place.
It is surrounded by mountains and is relatively easy to defend.
The road up to the village was quite rugged, and the last few miles had to be led by horses. When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Guo Changfeng, who had already changed into a navy blue officer uniform, pointed with his riding crop to a ravine at the foot of the mountain ahead, and
Song Biao reminded: "Master Biao, that's the gold mine controlled by our village. This mine is pretty good, with a harvest of five to six hundred taels of gold every year. Just because we occupy this mine, we basically didn't go down the mountain to hunt down the squires in the past."
Wealthy households. Our large forest is full of traditional Chinese medicine. Many people in the village have a background in collecting medicines. Every year, they collect medicines and sell them to the county’s medicine shop. They plant dozens of fields in the Dagangou area of Nanping.
, we also grow some corn on the mountain, so we have enough to eat and drink. Let’s talk about this life, our brothers are not living a bad life. If you talk about Feng Linge, those bearded men in Jin Shoushan, the lives of their brothers may not be as comfortable as ours.
, there are more than 100 old ladies in our village and Dagangou Nanpingzi. Even me, half of the brothers are married and have families with several children. Our life is really not bad, but
That little Japan is not idle. They sent us some foreign guns, but they also have the idea of our gold mine. They have sent several groups of people to explore our gold mine. Don’t look at me because I haven’t read a book.
, I don’t know a few Chinese characters, but we know in our hearts that little Japan has no good intentions. Now he is recruiting us to work for him. Naturally, he will not move us. Maybe one day we will no longer be needed, and he will immediately replace all our brothers.
Drive them away and use any excuse to occupy our gold mine."
Song Biao stopped and looked at the gold mine pit from a distance. This was a gold mine with both rock mines and ditch mines. The output must be quite large.
There are many gold mines in Hunjiang, and it ranks among the top three in a gold-rich province like Jilin. The gold mine in Qizidaogou is relatively famous.
He watched for a while and then said to Guo Changfeng: "Since I'm here, there is no such thing as Little Japan. You can rest assured, brothers. Since most of us are still local folks, I will say that as long as I guard this
The gold mine, no matter how much gold is produced in it, I will use it in our Hongtuya area to build canals, roads and private schools. These are all places where we can spend money. We don't expect to rely on gold to support us. We still have to rely on the livelihood of the fields.
If this place is well run, there will be six or seven acres of land, and how much food will be harvested in a year. At that time, we will let the children in Hongtuya go to private schools, and in the future we will also open a military academy like Little Japan.
The children of our brother's family went to the military academy early, and they all went out to become officers after they were young. The older ones farmed at home, and the younger ones fought outside to protect the safety of the land and water. This is a long-term solution."
Guo Changfeng chuckled and said: "So we think it is better to follow Master Biao to make a future."
Song Biao picked up his riding whip and pointed at the stockade in front of him, saying: "Let's go to the stockade. We are tired from walking on this road. Let's go to the stockade and take a good rest."
"Okay, brothers must be impatient!"
Guo Changfeng laughed loudly, patted his new military uniform again, and said to Song Biao: "Master Biao, what do you think of my outfit? Come on, my brothers must be very greedy when they see it.
"
Song Biao laughed lightly.
He didn't have much to worry about. The reason why he had to wait two more days in Niujiabao was to wait for Zhao Tingzhu's team to stabilize the place. At this time, there was also a Manchurian Infantry Division in Guo Changfeng's 72-daogou village.
With the strength of the squadron, he also brought Li Dayun's guard company here, so theoretically there would be no trouble.
