The next morning, Yuan Su went to the Yamen of the Prefecture to deal with Yu Xiaoyu's matter. www Wang Litong settled the remaining amount in front of Yuan Su. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he could obviously pay less.
Mr. Yuan just wants to be a good person.
After receiving the balance, Yu Xiaoyu finally completed the delivery task and thanked Yuan Su again.
Yuan Su smiled and replied: "You don't have to thank me. I just hope that Miss Yu won't be too impulsive in the future. Just like yesterday, jumping to conclusions before things are clear will only make you offend more people."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoyu became unhappy all of a sudden, and said with a puffy face: "You don't need to worry about it, I have my own discretion. Now that the transaction is completed, I will leave first. Mr. Yuan will return to you later."
If you need anything, you can come back to us."
Yuan Su watched Yu Xiaoyu turn around and leave carelessly, and couldn't help but smile to himself: This is a sexy girl.
After noon, Yuan Su planned to go to Xiaokan Village to inspect the batch of arms, but he was just about to leave when Sun Lianzhong arrived at the prefectural government office first and bumped into Yuan Su who was going out.
Sun Lianzhong told Yuan Su in an urgent tone that there was something wrong with the batch of arms brought back from Changli yesterday. Not only was the quantity wrong, but some of the guns were obviously old guns.
Wang Potong, who was on the side, suddenly looked shocked when he heard this.
Yuan Su also frowned. He knew very well that Yu Xiaoyu would not do such a thing with his loyalty. The only explanation was that Wang Huaiqing secretly switched the package yesterday.
"Here, what should we do? Mr. Yuan, what do you think we should do?" Wang Litong asked urgently.
"How many old guns are there in total? Can they be used?" Yuan Su remained calm and asked Sun Lianzhong.
"Most of them are usable, but there are different types of guns, so I'm afraid the bullets won't match the target." Sun Lianzhong replied with a sigh.
"The bullets shouldn't be mismatched," Yuan Su said slowly. He knew that although the rifles in the patrol camp were old and had mixed standards, they usually used rifles that could be equipped with bullets of the same caliber.
It had been dealt with privately a long time ago. "How many are missing?"
"There are only 456 guns in total." Sun Lianzhong replied.
"Master Yuan, we can't let this matter go like this!" Wang Lantong said solemnly.
"Forget it, it will only be a waste of time to worry about it now, not to mention that the militiamen don't need such good guns. These 456 guns are enough for the time being. If they are not enough, we can buy a second batch when the time comes."
Yuan Su made a decisive decision.
It's not that he doesn't want to resolve the matter, it's just that another trip to Changli will not only be more troublesome, but also make him look weak. Anyway, these guns are more than enough to equip the militia, at least for the current stage.
But despite this, he still remembered Wang Huaiqing deeply in his heart. The other party's territory was not far from Luanzhou. What happened yesterday was just the beginning. He believed that there would be more friction in the future. He was
He will never give up, and he will never be afraid of Wang Huaiqing. However, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Once he has the chance, he will definitely get rid of this scourge.
When Wang Li saw that Yuan Su had made up his mind, he naturally couldn't say anything more and just sighed deliberately from the side.
Afterwards, Yuan Su continued to Xiaokan Village to inspect this batch of weapons. Fortunately, there were still more than 200 unopened new rifles. He ordered Zhao Shanhe to let the soldiers of the First Battalion equip the new rifles first and replace them.
The old gun that came down was put back into the wooden crate.
Zhao Shanhe suddenly realized at this time that Yuan Su's purpose of purchasing new guns was to reserve them for the Seventy-nine Standards. Although he thought Yuan Su's move was too cunning, considering that the militiamen really did not need such good guns, he thought
There aren't too many places to go.
In the next few days, Yuan Su once again convened a meeting with everyone from the Supervisory Training Office to hear reports on the latest recruitment and logistics matters. All supplies for the Supervisory Training Office have been purchased as of today, and most of the winter clothes previously ordered from Gao Shun
After the modification and cutting is completed, it will be ready to leave the factory soon.
In the militia recruitment work, 1,800 people have signed up so far, and Ge Jinzhang, Guo Wenyuan, Gao Shun and others have basically completed the screening of those who signed up a few days ago. At present, all registration points have stopped signing up, and eventually they were
The approved personnel will be further screened from the existing 1,800 people.
If it weren't for the current economic conditions, Yuan Su would have recruited as many people as he wanted. Now he can only take it one step at a time. What's more, his original plan was not to cultivate a group of militiamen, but to establish a reserve force.
If the system has a stronger foundation in the future, it will definitely be much more convenient to recruit soldiers.
Yuan Su asked Guo Wenyuan to be mainly responsible for arranging the order of camp training, while Ge Jinzhang and Gao Shun were responsible for the final selection of these 1,800 young men. The process did not have to be too troublesome, even recruiting one more batch of people would not hurt.
The day before February arrived, the bullets sent from Fengtian were finally delivered to Luanzhou. Unlike Yu Xiaoyu, who didn't have many connections, Zhang Zuolin directly loaded the bullets onto the train for transportation, which made the handover much more convenient.
This batch of bullets worth 20,000 yuan was also sent to the first battalion of Xiaokan Village for storage. After a simple calculation, there were a total of 16,000 rifle bullets and a total of 10,500 heavy machine gun bullets. Every thousand rifle bullets
There was a discount of about eight yuan, and 500 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition were given away for free.
Yuan Su asked Zhao Shanhe to keep half of the rifle bullets as the first battalion's standing ammunition and the seventy-nine standard reserve ammunition. The other half was used for training at the militia supervision training office and civil defense reserve ammunition. As for the heavy machine gun bullets, all were used first.
Store them until the heavy machine guns from Tianjin arrive, and then these bullets will be put to use.
After being equipped with this batch of bullets, Seventy-nine Biao can immediately recover its combat effectiveness from its previous sluggish state, and this is part of Yuan Su's plan.
Although there are a large number of militiamen, the reason why these people rush to apply is because they can make a living without having to live too far away from home as militiamen, and they can still continue to work in the fields once the busy farming season arrives.
If Yuan Su had launched the banner of recruiting new soldiers before, he would never have had the effect he has now. After all, joining the army in this era not only has no specific service time limit, but also does not get much pay. It is better to guard the three acres of home.
Allocating land is cost-effective. Only those who are poor and have no worries will join the army just to make ends meet.
In the blink of an eye, it was February 1st, the day when the Militia Supervisory Training Office officially started its first training. Yuan Su led all the officials from the Supervisory Training Office to welcome the first training militiamen into the camp. The whole process was very simple.
There was no ceremony or excitement.
After the militiamen lined up on the school grounds, Yuan Su delivered a short speech, which lasted less than two minutes. He was nothing more than a warning to all the people and villagers about the responsibilities and significance of serving as militiamen, and what they need to abide by during the next two months of training.
Standards. Although you will only train for eight hours a day, and the rest of the time can be arranged freely, you are never allowed to stay out at night or sneak out of the camp at night. Soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition will patrol and supervise the southern suburbs camp. Violators will not be severely punished.
Rao.
In addition, he also solemnly told everyone that once they entered the training camp, no one would be allowed to drop out before completing two months of training.
The purpose of this is not to force Minzhuang to complete all the training, but to avoid wasting resources as much as possible. Recruiting a Minzhuang is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also costly in economic terms. If someone chooses to quit midway, then
All this becomes wasted effort.
The training plan has already been arranged. Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang laid down the draft framework, and Yuan Su personally made some additions. The main training content for two months is divided into three parts, one is physical training, the other is firearms training, and the third is
Ideological education. Needless to say more about the first two parts. As for ideological education, it is not to instill political things into the militia, but to cultivate their subjective thoughts of "obeying orders" and "obeying disciplines."
In terms of physical training, in addition to regular jogging, Yuan Su also personally demonstrated push-ups, sit-ups, frog jumps and other intensive training methods, and encouraged the militiamen to use these exercise methods for entertainment in private, and even gamble for money.
The intensity of training naturally increases from weak to strong, and it can be easier in the first few days, but Yuan Su's requirement is that after one month, the militiamen can achieve the effect of running six kilometers with a five kilogram weight.
When the morning run starts in a few days, Yuan Su will definitely come to lead the team in person as long as there is no special business. On the one hand, he can strengthen his relationship with the militiamen through training together, and on the other hand, he also needs to exercise well.
, only a strong body is the foundation for all development.
Anyway, for him, after the Militia Supervisory and Training Office began to operate normally, there was nothing important to do on weekdays. Since he initiated the military-civilian joint defense plan, it was normal to visit it in person.
At noon that day, Yuan Su used his personal savings to buy some cooked meat from a nearby restaurant to provide extra meals for the militiamen who entered the camp on the first day. He, Ge Jinzhang, Guo Wenyuan and others stayed here and had lunch with the militiamen.
.
From this day on, Yuan Su's long-prepared military-civilian joint defense plan was finally put into operation steadily.
