When Zhu Chuanwen wanted to explain a few words to Niu Dejin, the vigilante group came to have guests.
"Invite people in." After the words came out of his mouth, Zhu Chuanwen changed his words again: "Forget it, I will go and greet them personally."
Although Zhu Chuanwen's social status has been rapidly improved since the founding of the militia group, and he has become a top figure in Yuanbao Town.
Belongs to the category of being respected and flattering, and does not need to flatter others.
But you should still respect your biggest angel investor, Mr. Xia.
In addition to helping him organize the militia, Mr. Xia also invested hundreds of dollars in real money, and it can be said that he also invested a lot of original stocks.
No matter how far this kind of armed group develops,
Judging from historical lessons, it is a necessary step to develop and respect the original shareholders.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult to obtain subsequent investment.
Liu Paopao during the Three Kingdoms period is a very successful example.
"Chuanwen, how is the training going, guys?"
After Mr. Xia came in, he did not go to the main hall to sit down and drink tea.
Uncharacteristically, he wanted to walk around the yard, obviously because he wanted to see how the vigilante group was training.
Although investment is a human investment, it does not mean that Mr. Xia does not care about what he gets from his investment.
The reason why this house is originally a compound of a wealthy family.
The area is not small. The former garden was leveled and used as a school ground. Dozens of people can exercise, but they can practice well.
It is not difficult to compile the training manual. It is simply the military training content of some later generations of students, which is enough for these illiterate people to practice for a long time.
After you understand the formation, you can be regarded as an elite soldier in this era.
The ability to fight with bare hands and cold weapons takes time to develop.
In the case of firearms equipment advantages, these are not the first urgent things.
There isn't much rifle shooting either. Because the bullets are limited and expensive, I can't train much even if I want to.
But if each person practices dozens of rounds, he can already defeat most soldiers in this era.
Weapons that require professional knowledge, such as artillery, are nowhere to be purchased and have nothing to do with militia for the time being.
In short, after weapons evolve from cold weapons to hot weapons, the training period for soldiers will be much shorter.
After a month of training, excluding aspects of morale and experience, it can be said that the combat effectiveness can be better than that of bandits.
"Very good, everything went well." Zhu Chuanwen said confidently: "Sir, would you like to help me check it again, so as to test the results of this period?"
"As long as it goes well, there is no need for a school inspection." Mr. Xia nodded: "I still believe in your ability. Yuan Zhang has told me about Lushun City many times."
"Old man, it is still necessary to conduct a school inspection. Otherwise, how can the folks in this town believe in the strength of the militia."
Zhu Chuanwen looked into Mr. Xia's eyes and insisted, in addition to letting the investors test it, the most important thing is that Zhu Chuanwen wants to show off.
It is still necessary to show off your power in the town.
After the militia was established, expenses were incurred every month.
Although the funds prepared are enough for the militia to consume for a while, they won't have to worry about it for at least three months.
But we cannot wait until we run out of ammunition and food before considering supplies.
As soon as he had a good product, Zhu Chuanwen was already thinking about helping the vigilante group increase their income.
Going up the mountain to destroy the stronghold and directly engage in banditry is too risky.
Even if a vigilante group without any battlefield experience could win, it would only be a miserable victory.
However, it is still necessary to hold a military parade and shock some big families in the town in a safe and hands-free way.
"Zhuan Wen, you have thought carefully. I came to you originally to remind you that the vigilante group needs to be more serious in order to show its presence in Yuanbao Town. It is better for you to conduct a school inspection like this than to directly suppress the bandits.
Much safer.”
Mr. Xia came to Zhu Chuanwen, obviously because he wanted to follow up the vigilante group and came to remind him.
"The militia are all children of our Yuanbao Town. How can I bear to let them risk their lives directly with the bandits. I also need the old man to post an invitation to everyone. Five days later, the militia will conduct its first inspection outside the town since it was formed."
It was not Zhu Chuanwen's purpose to entertain the common people.
The most important thing is to perform for the mayor of the town and the wealthy people in the nearby villages.
In terms of their ability to pay taxes, these common people are also far inferior to the wealthy households.
"Captain Zhu, are we a newly formed militia?"
Seeing the uniform formation of the militia, these bumpkins from Yuanbao Town were shocked by Zhu Chuanwen.
Zhu Chuanwen bought another fat pig and used it as a live target, allowing these people to see the power of rifle volleys.
Although it was not as shocking as artillery fire, it was shocking enough for these bumpkins who had only seen Qing soldiers and bandits for the most part.
"Of course, many of them are young people from our town. Shopkeeper Song doesn't know these people, right?"
"We know each other, but I didn't expect Commander Zhu to be a good soldier at training. With such elite soldiers and strong generals, why worry about our Yuanbao Town being unable to settle down and live in this troubled world."
With the agreement of Tuoer, who Zhu Chuanwen had arranged in advance, the big families in the town donated generously.
With the first collective contribution, we will continue to form a routine and have a foundation.
If a small number of people don't cooperate, Zhu Chuanwen has no shortage of means to deal with it.
Time passed very quickly, seven years passed, and soon it was 1912.
The feudal Manchu Qing Dynasty also came to its end.
Once the revolutionary war breaks out, it is like a spark that can start a prairie fire and quickly spread beyond the border.
The area outside the Pass was originally a place where the influence of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties was weak.
Powerful people rose up one after another to oppose the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Chuanwen naturally responded to the call and eliminated the Manchu rule within his sphere of influence.
This matter is not difficult, and it is not as troublesome as going into the mountains to suppress bandits.
However, a lot of goods were collected, including various weapons and equipment, gold and silver property, and people of all ages were confiscated.
The treasury of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had no money, but that did not mean that the officials under the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had no money.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The reason why the court representatives are too fat is not to blame for the Manchu Qing wall being rejected by everyone.
No matter what background they come from, whether they are serious or not, and what kind of thoughts they have, they will all take a bite out of Man Qing.
"Brother, you are back."
When Zhu Chuanwen returned to his Yuanbao Town militia camp, he saw Zhu Chuanwu already waiting for him in the lobby.
"Why did you come to this military camp again when you weren't at home?"
When Zhu Chuanwen saw Chuanwu, he habitually scolded him first.
Zhu Chuanwen wanted Chuanwu to be honest and filial to his parents at home.
He wanted Chuanwu to be a filial son who cared about his family but failed.
Even if Zhu Chuanwen did not accept Zhu Chuanwu into the militia, Chuanwu could not help but insist on joining the militia.
When everyone knew that Chuanwu was Zhu Chuanwen's second brother, the militia naturally allowed Chuanwu to come and go freely.
Although during the operation, Zhu Chuanwen could participate without Chuanwu.
However, Chuanwu insisted on being stubborn and tampering with the training of the militia soldiers, and Zhu Chuanwen had nothing to do.
When he was busy with work, Zhu Chuanwen could leave Chuanwu Qiang in Fangniugou and let Chuanwu help with the work at home.
But during the off-season, Chuanwu came to the militia for training, and even Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Wei supported it.
In such troubled times, there is absolutely no reason to object to children practicing some self-defense skills.
"Brother, it's not just me who came to town, our whole family came to town."
Chuanwu explained that since the whole family was in town, Chuanwu could naturally come too.
"Have they arrived at the house? Then I'll go back after giving an explanation?"
With Zhu Chuanwen's current status as "Marquis of Baili", it is not difficult to have his own mansion in Yuanbao Town.
This house is not a new courtyard, Zhu Chuanwen has always been familiar with it.
After the militia expanded in size and had money, they built new camps.
After the temporary mansion became vacant, it became the home of Lao Zhu's family in the town.
This house is mainly occupied by Zhu Chuanwen and Xian'er.
Occasionally, Chuanjie would come over to stay.
But maybe it’s because he misses everyone else’s daughter and wants to be closer to Yushu.
Chuanjie spends more time living in Chunhesheng.
Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Wei chose to live in Fangniugou and enjoy the life of landlords for the thousand acres of fertile land owned by the old Zhu family.
Of course, Zhu Kaishan did not want to show his face in the town more, as he had always been a wanted criminal in the Qing Dynasty.
A few years ago, Zhu Chuanwen was recruited by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for the convenience of movement and served as the infantry commander of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for two years.
It has something to do with Zhu Kaishan not wanting to affect Zhu Chuanwen's "future".
"No, a theater troupe came to town, singing a new civilized opera, and they all went to listen to the opera. I didn't think it was interesting to listen to the opera, so I went to the camp to wait for you to come back."
These new civilized dramas are all about democracy.
On the one hand, the troupe keeps up with current events and more people are willing to listen. It can also be regarded as propaganda for the revolution.
When these people came over, Zhu Chuanwen naturally took the initiative to invite them.
Otherwise, these people would not be able to enter Zhu Chuanwen's territory.
What's more, it's a close place like Yuanbao Town.
New ideas must spread to break down the old and decadent ideas of the past hundreds of years.
"Come on, let's go listen to the show too."
Arranged the soldiers under his command and left the necessary personnel on duty.
The others also went home alone. After resting and recuperating, Zhu Chuanwen prepared to take Chuanwu to watch the theater together.
The civilized dramas of this era can also be regarded as the characteristics of the times in a short period of time.
If you miss this period of time, it will be difficult to listen to it again.
"Brother, why did you leave? I heard that you captured several cannons and several machine guns. Let me take a look!"
There are few men who are not interested in guns, let alone a martial arts fanatic like Chuanwu.
"What are you looking at? Are these important equipments something you, an outsider, can just look at?"
Zhu Chuanwen ignored Chuanwu's request and asked the two men to hold Chuanwu and walked out together.
Zhu Chuanwen has thousands of troops, orderlies and adjutants, so they must all be arranged.
Even if it's not for show, not for safety, just for convenience of contact, you can't live without people around you.
"Brother, when will you accept me into the militia? A few years ago, you said I was too young to accept me. Now I am in my twenties, older than half of the soldiers in your regiment, and you still won't let me
What does it mean to join a group?”
Following Zhu Chuanwen, Chuanwu also kept chattering.
Maybe it was too long, but Chuanwu didn't get his wish.
Chuanwu, a standard Shandong man, has become as arrogant as a resentful woman.
Before, Zhu Chuanwen really didn't realize that Chuanwu was so eloquent. He talked endlessly.
"If you want to join the regiment, you must at least have a relative and a wife. Otherwise, I will take you to work for your life. If you fail, how will I explain to my parents? Don't say that you are my brother, just these soldiers in the regiment,
Who doesn’t leave a queen behind?”
It is common for people to get married in their teens and twenties.
When Chuanwu was in his twenties, he was still like an ignorant idiot who refused to marry a wife, and almost worried Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Wei to death.
Whether it is with the force of Lao Zhu's family or the financial resources of Lao Zhu's family.
There is no girl within a few dozen miles that Chuanwu cannot marry.
It can be said that the girl chose Wu Chuanwu at will, but she didn't pick anyone in Chuanwu.
Zhu Chuanwen knew that there was something wrong with this man's brain, and he might have been influenced by Xian'er in his view of mate selection.
It doesn't matter if he has a lot of contact with Xian'er, the main thing is that this person's thinking itself is crooked.
Zhu Chuanwen can help Chuanwu with whatever kind of girl he is looking for.
But this person really wanted to find someone like Xian'er, and Zhu Chuanwen really couldn't help him. There was nothing he could do.
He is obviously a reckless man, someone whose parents don't care much about.
He is considered emotionally indifferent, but it makes no sense that he would give up on a girl.
It's something that can't be helped, and it doesn't affect Zhu Chuanwen's excuse for getting married.
"Brother Chuanwu, you are back."
The town was not that big, so when Zhu Chuanwen went to the street, someone was opening the way in front of him, so he naturally walked faster.
When they got off the stage, when Zhu Chuanwen was still looking for Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Wei in the crowd of hundreds, a girl rushed towards Chuanwu first.
This girl has better eyesight than Zhu Chuanwen and can already tell some problems very well.
It was obvious that his heart was attached to Chuanwu, so he was able to discover Chuanwu in the first place.
"Brother, you are back too."
After the girl was pushed away by Chuanwu, she noticed Zhu Chuanwen, who was attracting everyone's attention.
Zhu Chuanwen was wearing a military uniform and was the most handsome boy on the street in Yuanbao Town.
Everyone else noticed Zhu Chuanwen first. Only this girl noticed Chuanwu first and then Zhu Chuanwen.
It is obvious that Chuanwu uses affection deeply. In Zhu Chuanwen's opinion, if a girl can do this, it is already worth it.
The girl is just a little bit worse looking than Xian'er, so Chuanwu looks down on her, so she is obviously stupid.
"Xiu'er, long time no see. Did you come to town alone or with your father?"
This girl who is neither ugly nor handsome is Han Xiuer.
Fangniugou, where Lao Zhu's family took root, is the only daughter of the big landowner Han Laohai.
If Chuanwu wanted to marry this girl, he would have to say less and fight for twenty years.
Judging from Chuanwu's ability to make money, he has rarely talked about it for twenty years.
The Han family's fortune should be more than Chuan Wu could earn in his lifetime.
No matter how suitable it is, Chuanwu alone is not willing to do it.
"I came here with Uncle Zhu and Aunt Zhu."
Because she had "ulterior motives" for Chuanwu, Han Xiuer was very familiar with Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Wei, and could often be regarded as a non-staff member of the old Zhu family.
