The Political Department of the Xuebing Army was created after entering Guangdong. Ouyang Yun’s original intention of establishing this department was to provide psychological counseling to officers and soldiers during wartime and to solve their ideological burdens. However, gradually, In addition to performing this function, the Political Department has also begun to function as a disciplinary committee. With the assistance of Hutong's Internal Affairs Department, it has successfully investigated and dealt with several cases of corruption and abuse of law by officers.
Facts have proved that Ouyang Yun and Xiang Hanping had a good understanding before. Of course, this was also related to the vigorous and vigorous anti-corruption methods of the previous Political Department and Hu Tong Internal Affairs Department. After the meeting, the Political Department led by Ji Xingwen suddenly became a cadet The busiest department directly under the military headquarters,
In April, in a village called Qiao'an in Dapu County, Meizhou City, in the middle of an inconspicuous courtyard, Ouyang Yun, who was dressed as a businessman in a robe, was drinking wine with an old man with a gray beard. Behind them, Bai Liusu and Liu Kui, dressed in men's clothing, stood.
After the scars on his face disappeared, Bai Liusu's beauty suddenly stood out. While Ouyang Yun fell in love with her, he began to worry about her safety. Of course, Pan Meiren and Bai Liusu both thought that he was doing this for obvious reasons. However, the identity of the Commander-in-Chief is there, and she is used to playing rogue, so she can only listen to him in the end. Therefore, becoming a star became a side job, and a senior personal assistant became her main job. At the same time, a fake scar was affixed On her face, it once again became her characteristic,
Liu Kui and Bai Liusu strongly opposed Ouyang Yun's private move to a village close to the bandit's lair at first, but in the end they could not defeat him.
Under the personal leadership of Li Tieshu, Xue Yijun took regiments as units. During this period, they took continuous actions and eliminated several groups of bandits. The bandits were well-informed and soon learned that this unwarranted disaster was caused by Ouyang Yun's announcement. After the bandit suppression order was issued, the bandits in Fujian and Guangdong were a fairly mature armed force. They survived many bandit suppression campaigns and proved their ability to survive. In order to survive this crisis, several larger bandit leaders In total, they also took targeted measures, issued a wanted order among the people, and bought Ouyang Yun's head at a sky-high price of 500,000 silver dollars. Li Tieshu and others also clearly marked the price, and they were all on the list. In this case, Ouyang Yun The safety of Yun and others was taken seriously. Liu and Bai were worried that the reason why the bandits on the Fujian-Guangdong border could not be defeated must be inextricably linked to the local people. So, Ouyang Yun chose this time Check out the spots, it feels like you have thrown yourself into a trap.
As for Ouyang Yun's thoughts, he discovered the powerful fighting power of the bandits from several large-scale encirclement and suppression battles, and began to think of recruiting them. During the Republic of China, and even during the Anti-Japanese War, whether it was GMD or GCD, there was nothing he liked to do most. Ouyang Yun was originally extremely opposed to over-incorporating those bandits into armed forces, thinking that this was not conducive to the regularization of the army, but now he obviously understands why the two parties did this. Yes, they are bandits now, but the reason Most of them have fallen to this point because of the pressure of life. If this contradiction can be resolved and properly trained, these bandit armed forces will undoubtedly have the potential to grow into a strong army. This is much more convenient than training new recruits, and because of the growth Different from the combat environment, in the complicated anti-war situation in the future, these troops who are proficient in both conventional operations and special operations will undoubtedly be more able to adapt to various terrains and types of battles.
On Bawang Mountain, more than 30 miles southeast of Qiao'an Village, there is an active bandit armed force. This bandit gang is not small in size. It has more than 3,000 guns and more than 5,000 followers. According to Fox News According to the information provided by Hitomi's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this overlord army only had 13 people when they first rebelled. They were called the Thirteen Taibao by the locals. The reason why they were able to grow to their current size in just five years was because they had fought against each other in previous battles. The Central Army and the Guangdong Army both achieved victory in the encirclement and suppression. Before Ouyang Yun sent out to check the points, Li Tieshu sent a regiment of troops to conduct a tentative attack on Bawang Mountain. As a result, even the hill in front of Bawang Mountain was destroyed. After failing to pass, they were blasted out by local artillery, and during the retreat, they encountered an ambush. If the weapons and equipment of the Xuebing Army were not so advanced and they carried a large number of mortars, it would be difficult to say that this Will the whole group be eaten?
After seeing this battle report, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but be attracted: "The Overlord Army is quite interesting. Five thousand people, well, they can even fight for two regiments. I have to meet such talents. "
The old man’s name is Huang Guangcheng, Qiao An’s village chief.
As soon as Ouyang Yun received the information about Qiao'an Village, he became very interested in it, because what is different from other places is that there is not a single landlord in Qiao'an, a large village with nearly two hundred households. In fact, not only It’s Qiao An. Within a hundred miles of Bawang Mountain, all the villages have no landlords.
"Where's the landowner?"
"Killed by Huang Haifu."
"Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, Huang Haifu thinks he is a hero."
"Commander, don't mention it. Huang Haifu's nickname is indeed related to Xia. The locals call him 'Xia Caoshang'. It is said that his light body kung fu is very powerful, and his twelve brothers also have their own characteristics. Among them, Lao Sanjiang Banjun is known as 'Little Zhuge'."
"'Little Zhuge', isn't this the nickname of our Chief Bai? Ha, these Thirteen Taibao are quite interesting. I have to meet them."
When Ouyang Yun and his party appeared in Huang Guangcheng's yard, the old man was surprised, "You..."
Ouyang Yun understood his surprise. Qiao'an Village, a seemingly peaceful and peaceful mountain village, actually had its own armed guards. Although those men used cold weapons such as swords, their skills and experience were quite good. If not The three of them have pretty good martial arts skills, but it's really not easy to get in.
If outsiders want to enter Bawang Mountain's sphere of influence, they need to obtain Bawang Mountain's seal, otherwise they will have difficulty. Ouyang Yun also learned this from the guards, and immediately made one, "We have the certificate." Liu Kui said, took out a dark wooden sign in the shape of Bawang Mountain and shook it.
The old man immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that we are guests from the mountain, please come in." It was lunch time, and the old man and his wife were eating. He immediately let the three of them in and asked politely: "Three You haven't eaten yet, if you don't mind it, you can use it at my place."
Ouyang Yun was not polite and sat down immediately.
His performance increased the old man's trust, so he asked his wife to quickly go into the house to cook two more dishes, and took out the home-brewed rice wine.
The old man's eyes were very poisonous, and he quickly judged the priorities from the words and deeds of the three people. In the following conversation, he focused his main attention on Ouyang Yun. He first offered him a bowl of wine and then drank it in one gulp. He felt even more fond of him. While adding wine to him, he asked, "Are you three going up the mountain?"
Ouyang Yun said: "We are from Guangdong. As you know, the Xuebing Army is conducting a clearing operation. We came here specially to just say a word."
"Haha, ok, thank you. Three days ago, a group of people from the Xuebing Army came, but they were driven away. Haha, there are rumors outside about how powerful the Xuebing Army is and how awesome Commander Ouyang is. I It looks just so-so."
After coming to Guangdong for more than half a year, Ouyang Yun quickly mastered the Cantonese language based on his experience in Cantonese before traveling. Therefore, among the three of them, he was the one who spoke most of the time, so as not to be overheard by the old man. He smiled when he heard the words, and he said : "Really? However, the Xuebing Army dispatched an entire army this time. Boss Huang and the others really drove away all the Xuebing Army."
"How many people do you need for an army?"
"It must be tens of thousands."
"Ah, there seemed to be only a thousand people there last time. Could it be their outpost?"
The main purpose of Ouyang Yun's trip was actually to test how people in the area around Bawang Mountain felt about the Xuebing Army. He quickly changed the topic to this and asked: "Why does it sound like you hate the Xuebing Army? I'm in Guangdong, but I heard that the Xuebing Army calls itself the People's Soldiers."
The old man sneered at such words and said: "Soldiers of the people, huh, there have been so many good things in soldiers and officials since ancient times. I have seen a lot of them. I'm not new here. I want to win people's hearts. Just wait and see." Well, once that guy surnamed Ou sits firmly, his true face will be revealed. But I heard that now he has started to select beauties among the people for his pleasure..."
Before the old man finished speaking, Bai Liusu stretched out his right hand and gently tugged on Ouyang Yun's back. The latter immediately screamed,
The old man was startled and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly, thinking that today he finally knew what it meant to jump into the Yellow River, and he couldn't wash himself away. He chose beautiful women for his own pleasure. Well, this rumor was well made.
Bai Liusu has changed tremendously since her relationship with Ouyang Yun. This is not only reflected in her appearance, but also in her words and deeds. What makes Ouyang Yun unbearable the most is that this girl increasingly likes to express herself through the movements of her hands. expressed an opinion,
His back hurt, but his face could not show any pain. He said: "It's okay, it's okay, I was just bitten by an insect, oh..." There was another pain on his back, which was a warning not to criticize Sanghuai. , biting the word "yo" into pieces in his mouth, he said: "Old man, what you heard may be rumors. I have always been a nerd in Guangzhou, but I have never heard that Ouyang Yun has such a hobby. Moreover, Xue Bing The military is not just showmanship as you said. Their military discipline is very strict. They can only go out on the streets on Sundays, and no one walks alone, just to supervise each other..."
Ouyang Yun was eager to refute the rumors, but he forgot his identity and the purpose of his trip. This suddenly aroused the suspicion of the old man. The latter looked at him intently and suddenly shouted: "Who are you? You said they are guests on the mountain, so do you know the names of each of the Thirteen Taibao?"
