During this period of time, the main targets of Su Ting's security group soldiers were the guards of those farms and pastures and the militias of those small towns.
These people are not a regular army, but these people are very difficult to deal with.
Their fighting style is more like those horse bandits on the grassland.
The fighting is very fierce, and if you can't defeat them, they will run away decisively. Then these people will get together and fight with Su Ting and the others to death.
Sometimes the family members who capture them may not necessarily let these people stay and fight for their lives.
But after all, these people are limited in number and have average weapons. As long as they are properly guarded, they will not cause much damage.
But if this continues, the number of these people will increase.
This seems to be an unsolvable problem.
"Commander Su, shall we go eastward along the river to Sydney? According to the markings on the map, this river flows eastward to the city of Sydney." While walking along the river bed, the adjutant ran over and asked.
"Do you have your own opinion when you ask this?" Their original plan was to go to Sydney along the river. Although the adjutant asked this, he actually wanted to put forward his own opinion.
"Commander Su, have you noticed that we have encountered several vacated pastures. I suspect that the enemy is clearing out the wilderness. Obviously the enemy knows that we are going to Sydney City. We have attacked so many places before, and someone will definitely go there.
The news has been leaked," the adjutant said.
"What you say makes sense, but our stated goal is to go to Sydney City and cooperate with the Renaissance Army's landing operation." Su Ting said.
"Commander Su, but we don't know when the landing force will arrive? If we arrive too early, we may still fall into the siege of these Yu people. After all, we only have so many troops."
"Also, Commander Su, have you noticed that there are very few regular troops here, but the combat effectiveness of these ordinary militiamen is not weak. If these people are left here, they will be our enemies from now on. It is better to take advantage of them before they are organized and fight as much as possible.
It will consume their troops effectively. This may have a greater effect on our subsequent siege of Sydney."
Su Ting nodded, he also felt that what the adjutant said made sense.
This adjutant's name is Wu Huafeng. He usually seems to be the kind of person who likes to flatter and has a glib tongue, but his judgment of the battlefield situation is indeed very keen.
"Xiao Wu, what do you think we should do?" Su Ting looked at him and asked.
"I think we should reduce our burden and move forward with light equipment, and quickly rob and kill these Chinese people in roundabout ways, trying not to let them run into the city of Sydney. By then they will become soldiers defending the city."
"But Xiao Wu, there is a group of tails behind us. We are really moving forward lightly. If we can't catch the Yu people, what will we eat then?"
"Commander Su, I have a plan, but it's a bit risky." Wu Huafeng gave up.
"What do you think."
"We can divide the people into two waves, one of them will continue to move eastward with these livestock, and then separate into two lightly-armed teams. One will go eastward to rob and kill the Yu people who moved eastward, and the other will go south.
, from our place to the south is Melbourne, which is controlled by the Koreans, and there are quite a few Koreans living in this area."
"What if we encounter a large enemy force?" Su Ting asked again.
"Commander Su, judging from the battles we have encountered in so many days, under normal circumstances we can handle a thousand people. If we encounter a large force sent by the enemy from Sydney City, I will retreat at worst.
, when the time comes, the three teams will retreat together, reuniting while retreating."
"Of course, if the contact is not good, accidents will happen. It is up to Commander Su to decide everything." Wu Huafeng said while riding on the horse and cupping his hands.
Su Ting did not answer directly, but pondered for a while.
It was lunch time, and the team stopped at the edge of the almost dry river bed to repair.
The cooking soldiers are setting up a large pot to cook broth. Broth and bread are their main diet these days.
The cattle and sheep were all killed freshly, and the bread was prepared in advance and put in a small cloth bag for the soldiers to carry.
In this way, when you are marching in a hurry and don't have time to cook, you can chew some bread on the horse to fill your stomach.
If you put aside the war, the scenery around the riverbed is extremely beautiful. The grassy riverbed and the sparse emerald green forest not far away are like a fairy's mattress.
There are also soldiers drinking their horses by the little stream left in the middle of the river bed.
Although most of the people under him are Fuso and Annan people, those who can be selected into the security corps are the toughest among the workers.
They also cherish joining the security corps, because in the security corps they not only get better treatment, but also have a higher status.
During the war, there will be battlefield seizures. Especially for those Fuso people who advocate the warrior spirit, joining the security group is their affirmation and is their highest honor.
To be honest, this is a good group of warriors. They are almost always attacked these days, but the soldiers responsible for guarding have never been defeated.
Even if the scouts were ambushed by more enemies than themselves, these people did not escape and surrender.
They have a strong fighting spirit.
"Okay, let's go back and call all the officers above the battalion level according to the deployment you said, and I will assign the tasks."
Su Ting finally decided to end this passive situation.
This security group will also be completely turned into a killing machine.
Maple Valley in the western suburbs of Xinjing is already full of autumn.
The fiery red maple leaves and the sunset on the horizon complement each other, casting a strange red halo.
Today is the weekend, and Dong Shuheng took his family to visit Maple Valley for a whole day.
Camping, picnicking, flying kites, Dong Shuheng also took a few boys to the reservoir to fish, so as to hone the character of these naughty boys.
Yang Ximei went to Yangzhou for an impromptu visit.
She is responsible for the affairs of West Pacific Company. This time she went to Yangzhou to hold a shareholders' meeting.
This meeting is quite important. We will discuss the company's takeover of Nanhua. Of course, the most important thing is the capital injection.
Because the military expenses for this troop dispatch were all paid by West Pacific Company, the company suddenly had a huge gap in funds.
This time the company is not just a matter of injecting a little bit of capital, but it is a question of injecting 20 million Chinese dollars all at once.
This is a huge sum of money, enough to generate the GDP of a medium-sized country for one year.
However, the money was received in just a few days.
Now under the rule of the Fuxing Army, there is no shortage of flowing funds.
Of course, developing Nan Hua requires more than just money, but also people.
People's problems are harder to solve than money.
Back home, Dong Shuheng heard that Yang Ximei was back and hurried back immediately.
It is indeed a bit unkind to go sightseeing by yourself and let your wife run around.
Before I arrived at the small building where Yang Ximei lived, I saw a tall young woman in a red dress with black hair tied up on her head, teaching her children.
"Hold it now, if you show me one more tear, I'll beat you to death. Why don't you cry when you make fun of others, ah..."
From a distance, Dong Shuheng could feel the smell of gunpowder.
"A good wife has worked so hard. Just forget about this brat when you come back. When you become your husband, you will teach him a lesson." As he said this, Dong Shuheng winked at his third son, Dong Fu.
The boy's eyes looked blurry with tears, but he could see Dong Shuheng's face clearly.
He immediately ran away in a flash.
"Husband, you are spoiling this child again. I talked to their teacher as soon as I came back today. This kid not only refuses to study, but also leads others to bad things." Yang Ximei turned around and glared at Dong Shuheng.
"Madam, do you want to educate your child? You have to be patient. We have to slowly discover the child's strengths. I think Fu'er is very popular at school. There are so many children in the class who are willing to accompany him to make trouble."
"He brought his classmates to rebel. Naturally, some people were willing to follow him, and they even rebelled against the teacher." Yang Ximei said with hatred.
Fu'er did go a bit too far this time. He didn't like his teacher being too harsh on him, so he even organized his classmates to rebel against the teacher.
The teasing made the teacher extremely embarrassed, and the female teachers in the class almost cried because of the naughty children teasing them.
"Oh, Sister Xi, I will ask him to apologize to the teacher later, and I will personally take him to the door to apologize. That's all right."
"Forget it, you better not go. It's not like the teacher doesn't know you." Yang Ximei rolled her eyes at Dong Shuheng.
Dong Shuheng seemed to have calmed down when he saw his wife, and walked towards the small building with his arms around his shoulders.
"Don't worry, Fu'er's nature is actually not bad. You see, he has raised so many little animals. Without a little love, how could he have the patience to raise so many little things?" Dong Shuheng comforted him.
Ever since Dong Shuheng gave him a Galapax tortoise when he was three years old, the child has fallen in love with small animals.
When he first entered elementary school, Dong Fu had already raised dozens of small animals.
Whenever Dong Shuheng encounters any cute animals when he goes out, he will give them to him.
He thought this kid might be able to become a biologist when he grows up.
At this time, biology still belonged to the category of natural history and was considered a relatively advanced subject.
Especially since "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" has just been published, biological research has become very fashionable in recent years.
"Well, no matter what he wants to do in the future, he must study well." Yang Ximei sighed.
"Yes, Madam is right. The foundation must be laid well. I will talk to him later. He is not young anymore and should be sensible. This kid is just a fool. Beating and scolding will have no effect on him."
"Alas~"
Like Yang Ximei and Wei Yuzhen, educating children is their biggest weakness.
"When you go to Yangzhou this time, have you visited our previous home?" Dong Shuheng quickly changed the topic.
"Where is the free time? The board of directors has been meeting for two whole days. The old guys seem to think that this time it is a bit too big. They are all a little unbelievable. I think these businessmen have been used to being suppressed for thousands of years. Since Lu Buwei
There were no more bold businessmen after that."
Yang Ximei is no longer the extraordinary little rebel princess she once was. Years of training with Dong Shuheng have long since increased her knowledge.
"This is normal. Nanhua is not an ordinary island. It is half the size of our mainland. With Xinhua Island and the surrounding islands, this place can develop into a big country in the future, at least it has this potential."
"But Shuheng, why do you want to leave such a big place to businessmen to run it? Can't our Renaissance Army run it ourselves?" Yang Ximei still didn't understand Dong Shuheng.
"Haha, you can do it yourself, but it's not necessary. That place is just a blank piece of paper, and it won't take a hundred and eighty years to develop."
"But this kind of place is most suitable for commercial operation, because it has no people and is just a blank piece of paper, which is just suitable for businessmen to do it. Moreover, it is more efficient for them to do it than for the government to do it."
"Another reason is that the stall that our Renaissance Army has to manage now is too big and we really can't manage it."
"The last point is that we currently have a surplus of capital in the country, and there is a good channel for capital to vent. You have to know that money in the world is like water, and the market is a reservoir. If there is too much money, there will be a hidden danger of flooding.
, at this time, we need to find a channel for them to vent." Dong Shuheng pulled Yang Ximei to the double sofa in the room, and while chatting about business with his wife, he stroked his wife's slender waist.
Although Yang Ximei, who has a background in martial arts, has given birth to two children, she still maintains a good figure. The flesh on her waist is still tight and not loose at all.
"Oh, I understand. My husband wants to use the southern continent as a reservoir of capital. When there is a lack of investment targets in the country, he will direct capital to invest there. Anyway, there is nothing there. It can absorb any amount of investment, and it is not determined.
It’s just that the rewards are slower.”
"Well, not bad, smart. I didn't expect that Ximei has long hair and a lot of knowledge."
"Oh, hehe, take your hand away." Yang Ximei pushed Dong Shuheng's hand away and giggled. Dong Shuheng's hand scratched her itchy hole.
"I thought you practitioners were not afraid of being tickled." Dong Shuheng had never teased his wife like this before, and he was really getting more and more excited.
"To get down to business, I feel like you want to drain the value of those people."
"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm obviously looking for a way out for them. When the people underneath start making trouble, they will still have a place to escape." Dong Shuheng was talking about the current conflict between factory owners and workers.
"Shu Heng, so where do we stand? Don't forget, we are also the major shareholders. I hope that after this, the boy in the family will not live up to expectations, and there will still be some family business to inherit." Yang Xi
My sister was actually worried that Xia'er, who didn't like to study, would become a playboy in the future.
If you have some wealth, your children will not have a bad life in the future, right?
"Who is this major shareholder? If I want to make money, I can make a lot of money by opening any company. I joined this company just to enhance the confidence of these businessmen. Why do you think they dare to invest so much of their wealth?"
It’s not because our family is also involved, it’s called sailing on the sea and depends on the helmsman.”
"Furthermore, I can tell you that I don't stand on either side, I only stand on the side of history. You haven't noticed that I haven't interfered much in these things. I just need to stabilize the army and not let the army get involved.
"
"Let them rub against each other, and eventually a new balance will be reached."
"Husband, I feel like you are walking a tightrope. Since ancient times, a wise king has always tried to control everything as much as possible when he governs a country. But you have to let go and let your subordinates perform on their own, and let the conflicts resolve themselves."
"So, your husband cannot be a wise king, he can only be a harmonious president. Of course, he also has a good husband-in-law."
