In the next three days, Yuan Su stayed in Changli County to rectify the military affairs of the patrol camp, while Luanzhou entrusted Chen Wenian with full authority to take care of it. () The two battalions of Kuiziying and Zuoying that were previously detained in Luanzhou were all
They successively notified Changli of the situation and tried to comfort them. The hundreds of people in Kuiziying and Zuoying did not care much about Wang Huaiqing's departure. Only Wang Huaiqing's adjutant and two camp management leaders were excited for a while. But it was just
After a day, all three people expressed their willingness to lead their troops to join Yuan Su.
The three counties under the jurisdiction of Tongyong Town soon received the official document from Yuan Su. The three counties all felt that this matter was unbearable. Wang Huaiqing was driven away just after he was promoted to Inspector. If such a big matter were to be investigated by the higher ups, it would be a big deal.
It’s difficult to handle. Therefore, except for Changli County, Tanghai and Leting counties will have no response for a while. They neither call Yuan Su back nor dare to report it to the provincial government. They seem to be pretending not to know anything.
Look.
As for Changli County, there is no way to avoid it. Yuan Su is here now, and he has just taken over the several thousand troops of the patrol camp. No one, whether it is the county government or the local gentry, dares not to give this face. Therefore, in these three days
During the time, the bureaucrats and gentry headed by the county magistrate He Keping rushed to the headquarters camp to visit Yuan Su.
He Keping, in particular, would go to the camp every day for the past three days to introduce Yuan Su to the gentry and celebrities in the county and introduce the basic situation of the county. Yuan Su behaved very politely in front of the officials and gentry of Changli County.
When the older generation of gentry arrived, they would even come to the corridor to greet them in person, so they quickly formed a good impression in the minds of the officials and gentry of Changli County.
After all, there was the typical image of Wang Huaiqing there, and now this young Master Yuan is not only the nephew of the president, but also has the ability to drive away Wang Huaiqing, and yet he is very polite to everyone. He is really a great man of the moment.
Every time He Keping came here, in addition to introducing the gentry and celebrities, he also repeatedly expressed that the county government had specially hosted a banquet for Mr. Yuan to celebrate Mr. Yuan's replacement of Wang Huaiqing as the military agent of Tongyong Town. Yuan Su admired He Keping's slickness, and the other party knew that he was now
He has no official official status and is still just the commander-in-chief of the Luanzhou Security Corps. Therefore, he did not say that he was holding a banquet to celebrate his promotion. He only said that he was acting as an agent for the military affairs of a town. This not only catered to Yuan Su's current actual situation, but also avoided many embarrassments.
.
However, after being invited for three days in a row, Yuan Su just politely refused. It was not because he was putting on airs, but because there were indeed many matters waiting to be dealt with in the patrol camp. During these days, the four camp management leaders in Changli County have been staying with the commander.
Being in the main camp, for him, if the military affairs of the patrol camp are not sorted out in one day, these people will not be able to return to the main camp for one day.
Fortunately, with the help of He Qigong, Zhao Shanhe, Sun Desheng and others, the rectification work was carried out in an orderly manner. Takeovers were taken over and transferred, and all the work focused on weakening the threat of the patrol camp.
The main project of rectification is divided into two parts, one is the gathering of materials, and the other is the collection of ammunition.
As long as they can control most of the supplies of the patrol battalion, each battalion can almost do nothing but obey. The soldiers have to eat and wear, and they have to pay a fixed salary every month. If each battalion cannot control these aspects, then it will
I can't stand the soldiers under my command.
Yuan Su ordered that all public supplies be gathered in the warehouse of the headquarters camp, and then distributed to each camp on time and in quantity every month or quarter, depending on the situation.
The public supplies of the patrol camp were indeed stored in the headquarters camp. On the one hand, Wang Huaiqing used the public properties for personal use and moved some of the supplies to various private warehouses in the city. On the other hand, they were neglected on weekdays and each battalion also had private storage areas.
After Yuan Su gave the order, each battalion honestly handed over the stored materials. Deziying also led teams to return the materials to private warehouses in various places in the city.
The collection of ammunition is naturally for insurance purposes, not to mention that no army will let soldiers have too much ammunition during non-war times. Yuan Su said, "Adjust the weapons and equipment of the patrol camp and standardize them simultaneously with the weapons and equipment of the Luanzhou Security Regiment."
"For this reason, we thoroughly inspected all the weapons of each battalion. While confiscating outdated firearms such as muskets, we also moved all the reserve ammunition of each battalion to the headquarters camp.
Afterwards, Yuan Su also issued a notice that he would purchase a batch of new arms as soon as possible and then distribute them to each battalion of the patrol camp.
However, these actions still caused more or less complaints from each battalion of the patrol camp. Some people realized that Yuan Su was deliberately localizing the patrol camp, which was completely inconsistent with what he said on the review stage before, "We are all our own people."
However, people who are aware of this also know the way of being an official in their hearts. It is very common to say one thing with their mouths and do another with their hands.
Fortunately, Yuan Su announced that the meals would be changed to three meals a day, and he fulfilled his promise and started to implement it. Most of the soldiers did not feel unhappy. Anyway, they could still eat without guns or bullets, and in case of war, they could use the excuse of not having weapons.
Escape, barely, is a cost-effective thing.
From the time Wang Huaiqing left Changli County to Yuan Su gradually putting the patrol camp in order, he had not reported the situation in Tongyong Town to Beijing or the provincial government. He did not intend to hide it, but wanted to
First, make the patrol camp completely your subordinate, and then make up a decent story to report to the top.
Delaying it for a while is not a bad thing, as it can create the impression that he has been taking care of military affairs in Tongyong Town for a long time, and at the same time, it will prevent Beijing from inviting Wang Huaiqing back as soon as possible.
After noon on the fourth day, Yuan Su had lunch with the leaders of each battalion of the patrol camp. By the way, he conveyed that from today on, the titles of officers at all levels in the patrol camp would be the same as those of the Luanzhou Security Regiment, and the leaders would be changed to battalion commanders.
The team officer was changed to the company commander, and the shed leader was changed to the squad leader. Regarding these small details, the several battalion management leaders were naturally the same and only agreed to it.
After lunch, Yuan Su invited the battalion commanders to come to the small hall to discuss in detail the establishment of the patrol battalion. However, before the meeting began, he said that as long as the establishment matters were settled, everyone could return to their respective base camps today.
Went. The subtext is that if this matter cannot be discussed, we will have to stay in the headquarters camp for some time.
For Zhao Jishi, Li Jinfu and others, not only did Yuan Su feel insecure about the patrol camp, but they also felt insecure about Yuan Su. They were living in the preparatory dormitory of the headquarters camp these days and could see people outside the window every night.
The figure with a loaded gun swayed, fearing that one day Yuan Su would suddenly turn his back on him and refuse to recognize him.
It can be said that I am worried and on tenterhooks day and night, and I wish I could find someone to taste it before I eat.
What's even more distressing is that due to the current situation in the patrol camp, they dare not take the initiative to ask Yuan Su when they can go back.
Today they finally heard Yuan Su's personal statement, so the four of them were thinking in their hearts. As long as the reorganization was not too outrageous, they would simply let Yuan Su go. Let this matter come to an end as soon as possible, so as to return to the base camp.
