After sending Chuanwu to the military camp for a beating, Zhu Chuanwen did not continue to do other things this winter.

The climate determines that the best choice in winter outside the customs is to hibernate.

What we can do is recruit some talents from various industries to develop the economy and cultivate internal strength.

Only in the beginning of spring, after the spring plowing was completed, did Zhu Chuanwen start to work again.

"Master, after the beginning of spring, our division will recruit more than 2,000 new soldiers. Now we have more than 3,000 combat soldiers. In addition to patrols in various counties and towns, plus security teams in villages and towns, there are still more than 2,000 gunmen."

The adjutant reported to Zhu Chuanwenhui.

This is Zhu Chuanwen's current strength. It cannot be considered bad outside the customs, but it is not particularly outstanding.

Zhu Chuanwen still didn't have enough strength, he just got a short position from Beiyang.

I couldn't scrape some gold and silver out of Yuan Datou's hands.

At present, there are only large warlords with tens of thousands of troops in the country. When Yuan Datou needs local support, he can withhold some funds from Yuan Datou.

At present, the Zhang family outside the customs has occupied Fengtian and has received funds from Yuan Datou to buy it.

There is no doubt that Fengtian is the core outside the customs, and the Zhang family does occupy a favorable location.

Liaoning province has a larger population than the other two provinces plus Dongmeng.

"That's enough. After giving these recruits three months, I will be the governor of Heidong in three months."

The cost of raising 3,000 people is several times higher than the cost of raising 1,000 people.

During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, raising soldiers followed the Manchu and Qing armies, and each soldier only needed one or two silver coins.

Entering the Republic of China, the situation was chaotic, the status of soldiers increased rapidly, and various warlords in the pass directly increased the number of Xiangyin tenfold.

Considering that the volume outside the customs is not as high as that inside the customs, Zhu Chuanwen's men do not have any problem with deductions, but they still have to increase it to at least five yuan.

The land under his command can no longer support so many people without over-exploitation.

Just scrape three feet off the ground, with such a large territory and population.

It is impossible for Zhu Chuanwen to persist for twenty or thirty years.

With more troops and horses, it is urgent to expand one's territory.

After the Republic of China, although there was some confusion in the official system, in general.

The chief of a province is the governor. A province is divided into several regions, and the chief of a region is the garrison envoy.

The person in charge of several counties is called Daoyin, and the person in charge of one county is called county governor.

Now Zhu Chuanwen actually has territory in several counties.

The title of division commander was due to Zhu Chuanwen's reputation as an elite soldier who had been invincible in battles against bandits and Qing soldiers over the years.

The territory outside the pass, "Northern Zhunan and Southern Zhang", are famous for two victorious divisions.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task."

The battalion commanders below assured Zhu Chuanwen.

"Let's break up."

Zhu Chuanwen waved his hand and replied.

Regarding the areas near the government, Zhu Chuanwen has nothing to worry about.

Although other warlords also have many troops, there are thousands of them.

But the soldiers are still the basis of the previous Qing patrol battalions.

To put it bluntly, these Manchu and Qing patrol camps have the same foundation as the Zhang family in Fengtian.

They are all bandits and local insurance teams recruited by the imperial court.

Compared with the Qing soldiers, these bandits were accustomed to selling their lives and were not afraid of life and death. Of course they were tough, but there was no comparison with the elites who were equipped and trained by Zhu Chuanwen at a high price.

Zhu Chuanwen does not admit that he belongs to this category. At least he does not have so many bottomless bandits mixed into his troops.

Of course, if you want to continue to expand the scale, recruiting surrendered troops is definitely an important way.

In the future, the purity of the team will not be so easy to maintain, and more screening and ideological education will be needed.

Only then can we cultivate a group of troops with faith.

If you want to be a true division commander, you should have at least tens of thousands of troops.

Zhu Chuanwen was waiting to recruit the entire Heidong area to supplement it.

These warlords' subordinates, who are both soldiers and bandits, have become accustomed to wanton behavior and are unlikely to return to their places to live in peace.

It can only be left in the military camp to be transformed and consumed.

"Brother, are we going to fight?" After the news spread, Chuanwu quickly broke in.

The news about conquering the surrounding areas was not kept secret, which was considered deliberate by Zhu Chuanwen.

If he could avoid defeating the enemy, Zhu Chuanwen would not want to consume too many people.

"Who is your big brother? This is a military camp and no one is your big brother."

Seeing Chuanwu being reckless again, Zhu Chuanwen scolded him again.

"Master, we are about to fight again, aren't we?"

After being dealt with too much by some veterans, Chuanwu's brain finally came back a little bit, and he at least knew how to bow his head to his superiors.

It is much better than the situation at home where the second child, Zhu Chuanwu and Zhu Chuanwu are the boss and the third child cannot be controlled even by their parents.

Beatings from outsiders are indeed more effective than beatings at home.

Of course, it was Lao Zhu's family who never really beat their children, so Chuanwu never knew how to respect him.

"What does it have to do with you whether you want to fight or not? You haven't even finished your recruit training yet, and you just want to fight. Do you want to fight, or do you want to die?"

The child was not as rebellious as he was at home, so Zhu Chuanwen didn't dislike Chuanwu so much.

I still maintain this attitude, but I just want to hammer it out a little more.

Zhu Laoer's mood is not stable and needs to be strengthened from time to time.

The three months Zhu Chuanwen said was to give the recruits three months of training. After the training, they would start to attack the city and capture the territory.

Through actual combat, a group of combat-ready soldiers will be trained.

The First World War was not far away, and Zhu Chuanwen must have some ideas.

Chuanwu had no idea of ​​taking action right away. Chuanwu came over in such a hurry. It was obvious that he was still impulsive and immature.

"Brother, does it mean that if I meet the training standards for recruits, I can go?"

Chuanwu was sent to the military camp by Zhu Chuanwen years ago.

I have trained for several months longer than others, and I also have a good foundation in kung fu.

Because I go hunting in the mountains all the time, I consume hundreds of rounds more ammunition than others.

Compared with ordinary recruits, he does have a big advantage, that's why he behaves so confidently.

"Zhu Chuanwu, you are already a soldier, don't you even know how to obey orders? Are these things you, a big-headed soldier, should ask? Do whatever your superiors tell you to do, whether you want to go to the battlefield or not, wait until wartime to obey military orders.

"

Zhu Chuanwen said ambiguously.

In my heart, I still hope to spread the military power, if even these local warlords dare not fight.

There is no hope that Chuanwu will fight with him in a few years, and eventually he will live with him.

If you want to be a military force, you will only fight civil war with your own people.

Zhu Chuanwen might as well leave Chuanwu alone and let Chuanwu follow the Zhang family in Fengtian like before.

"Yes." After hearing the hope, Chuanwu responded happily. Zhu Wu is currently just fond of martial arts, violent, and happy when he hears a battle. In fact, he has no connotation and no pursuit of his own: "Master, I still have one more thing to do.

explain."

"explain."

"I want to take leave."

"Go ask your new company commander for leave and tell me what to say. Do you think it's appropriate for me, the division commander, to directly grant leave to you, the head soldier?"

"The division headquarters has regulations that new recruits cannot miss training without incident."

Although Chuanwu is not considered a gangster, he obviously has no respect for his family members and no respect for outsiders.

He didn't dare to go through the back door of the new company commander, but he dared to find the division commander Zhu Chuanwen to do something special.

"You know there are regulations, so you abide by them. Do you think the military rules and regulations in the military camp are a joke? If you think like this, get out of here as soon as possible. Don't think that your eldest brother, I am the division commander, so you will get special treatment.

"

Of course Zhu Chuanwen was not used to passing on martial arts.

This child was spoiled and became like this.
