Chapter 544 Fujian Raiders (XIV)
The Political Department of the Xuebing Army was a product only after entering Guangdong. Ouyang Yun's original intention for establishing this department was to provide psychological counseling for officers and soldiers during wartime, and to relieve their ideological burden.But gradually, in addition to performing this function, the Political Department also began to play the role of the Disciplinary Committee. With the assistance of Fox Tong's Internal Affairs Department, it has successfully investigated and dealt with several incidents of military officers taking bribes and breaking the law.

Facts have proved that Ouyang Yun and Xiang Hanping had a good understanding before.Of course, this is also related to the vigorous corruption-fighting measures of the Political Department and the Fox Tong Internal Affairs Department.After the meeting, the Political Department led by Ji Xingwen suddenly became the busiest department directly under the Xuebing Army Command.

In April, in a village named Qiao An in Dapu County, MZ City, in the middle of an unremarkable courtyard, Ouyang Yun, who was dressed as a businessman in a long robe, was drinking wine with an old man with a gray beard.Behind them stood Bai Liusu and Liu Kui dressed in men's clothing.

Since the scars on her face disappeared, Bai Liusu's beauty suddenly stood out, making Ouyang Yun love her so much, but at the same time, she began to worry about her safety.Of course, both Pan Meiren and Bai Liusu believed that it was out of obvious possessiveness.However, the commander-in-chief's status is there, and he is used to playing rogues, so he can only listen to him in the end.As a result, celebrity became a side job, and senior personal assistant became her main job.At the same time, a fake scar was taped to her face, again characteristic of her.

Liu Kui and Bai Liusu strongly opposed Ouyang Yun's private relocation to a village close to the bandit's lair for scouting.But in the end, he couldn't beat him.

Under the personal leadership of Li Tieshu, the Xueyi Army took regiments as a unit, and took continuous actions during this period, and has already eliminated several groups of bandits.The bandits were very well informed, and soon learned that the reason for this indiscriminate disaster was Ouyang Yun's order to suppress the bandits.The bandits in Fujian and Guangdong are a fairly mature armed force, and they survived many bandit suppression campaigns, which also proved their ability to survive.In order to survive this crisis, several large-scale bandit leaders combined together and took out targeted measures. They issued arrest warrants among the people and bought Ouyang Yun's head at a sky-high price of 50 silver dollars. Li Tieshu and others also The price is clearly marked, and they are all on the list.In this case, the safety of Ouyang Yun and others was taken seriously.Liu and Bai's worry was that the reason why the bandits on the Fujian-Guangdong border could not be defeated repeatedly must be inextricably linked with the local people, so Ouyang Yun chose to set foot on the spot at this time, which seemed like a self-inflicted trap.

What's Ouyang Yun thinking?However, he discovered the powerful combat power of the bandits from several major encirclement and suppression battles, and he thought of recruiting them.During the period of the Republic of China, and even during the Anti-Japanese War, whether it was the GMD or the Communist Party, nothing they liked to do more than recruit those bandits.Ouyang Yun was extremely opposed at first, thinking that this would be detrimental to the regularization of the army, but now, he obviously understands why the two parties are doing this.That's right, they are bandits now, but the reason why they have fallen to this point is mostly because of life.If this contradiction can be resolved, coupled with proper training, these bandit armed forces will undoubtedly have the potential to grow into a strong army.This is much more convenient than training recruits.And because of the difference in growth and combat environment, in the complex anti-Japanese situation in the future, these troops who are proficient in both conventional operations and special operations will undoubtedly be more adaptable to various terrains and types of battles.

On the Bawang Mountain, more than [-] miles southeast of Qiao'an Village, there is a bandit armed force active.This bandit gang is not small in scale. It actually has more than [-] guns, and its followers have reached more than [-] people.According to the information provided by Hu Tong's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this overlord army had only thirteen people when it started the incident, and was called the Thirteenth Taibao by the locals.And the reason why they were able to develop to their current scale in just five years is because they have won victories in all previous encirclement and suppression campaigns against the Central Army and the Cantonese Army.Before Ouyang Yun set out to step on the spot, Li Tieshu sent a regiment of troops to conduct a tentative attack on Bawang Mountain, but failed to even pass the hill in front of Bawang Mountain, and was blasted out by earth cannons.In the process of retreating, he encountered an ambush.If it weren't for the advanced weapons and equipment of the Xuebing Army, and it carried a large number of mortars, it would be hard to say whether this regiment would be eaten up.

After seeing this battle report, Ouyang Yun couldn't help being attracted: "Overlord Army, it's interesting! 5000 people, um, they can fight for two regiments. I have to meet such a talent."

The old man's name is Huang Guangcheng, Qiao An's village head.

As soon as Ouyang Yun received information about Qiao Ancun, 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 Qiao An, but within a hundred miles around Bawang Mountain, all the villages had no landlords.

"Where is the landlord?"

"Killed by Huang Haifu."

"Stealing from the rich and helping the poor, Huang Haifu thinks he is a hero?"

"Commander, don't tell me that Huang Haifu's nickname is indeed related to Xia. The locals call him 'Grass Shangxia'. It is said that he is very good at lightening his body. And his twelve brothers also have their own characteristics. Among them, the old Sanjiang half army is known as 'Little Zhuge'."

"'Little Zhuge', isn't that our Chief Bai's nickname? Ha, the Thirteenth Taibao is interesting, I have to see him."

When Ouyang Yun and his party appeared in Huang Guangcheng's courtyard, the old man was surprised, "You..."

Ouyang Yun understood his surprise.Qiao'an Village, a seemingly peaceful and peaceful mountain village, even had its own armed guards.Although those men used cold weapons like big knives, their skills and experience were quite good.If it wasn't for the fact that the three of them were not bad at martial arts, it wouldn't be easy to get in.

Outsiders who want to enter Bawang Mountain's sphere of influence need to obtain Bawang Mountain's seal, otherwise it will be difficult for them to move forward.This, Ouyang Yun also learned from those guards, and immediately made one. "We have evidence!" Liu Kui said, taking out a dark wooden sign in the shape of Bawang Mountain and shaking it.

The old man put on a smile immediately: "It turns out they are guests from the mountain, please come in." It was lunch time at this time, and the old man and his wife were eating, so he let the three of them in immediately, and asked politely: "Three You haven’t eaten yet, right? If you don’t dislike it, why don’t you just use some at my place?”

Ouyang Yun was not polite, so he sat down immediately.

His behavior increased the old man's trust even more, so he asked his wife to 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 priority from the words and deeds of the three of them. In the ensuing conversation, he focused his attention on Ouyang Yun.First toasted him with a bowl of wine, and seeing him drink it up, he became even more fond of him. While adding more wine to him, he asked, "You three are going up the mountain?"

Ouyang Yun said: "We are from Guangdong. As you know, the Xuebing Army is carrying out a campaign to clear it up. We only need to come here specially to let you know."

"Hehe, this one, thank you. Three days ago, a group of Xuebing Army came, but they were driven away. Haha, there are rumors about how powerful the Xuebing Army is, and how amazing that Commander Ouyang is. It looks normal."

After coming to Guangdong for more than half a year, Ouyang Yun quickly mastered the language based on his Cantonese experience before crossing.So among the three, he was the one who spoke most of the time, so as not to be heard wrong by the old man.Hearing this, he smiled, and he said, "Really? But, this time, the Xuebing Army dispatched an army. Boss Huang and the others really drove away all the Xuebing Army in an army?"

"One army? How many people are there?"

"It must be tens of thousands!"

"Ah! There seemed to be only a thousand people last time. Could it be their outpost?"

The main purpose of Ouyang Yun's trip was actually to test how the people in the surrounding areas of Bawang Mountain felt about the Xuebing Army.He quickly changed the subject to this, and asked, "Why does it sound like you guys hate the Xuebing Army? I'm in Guangdong, but I heard that the Xuebing Army calls itself the People's Soldiers."

The old man scoffed at such words, and said: "People's soldiers? Hmph, how many good things have soldiers and officials have since ancient times? I have seen many of them. I have seen a lot of them. Didn't you just come here and try to buy people's hearts? Wait and see Well, once the butt surnamed Ou sits firmly, he will show his true face. I heard that now he has started to choose beautiful women for his own pleasure..."

Before the old man finished speaking, Bai Liusu stretched out his right hand, and gently tugged and turned Ouyang Yun's back, and the latter let out a miserable cry.

The old man was startled, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Ouyang Yun smiled wryly, and said that today he finally knew what it means to jump into the Yellow River and couldn't clear it up, choosing beautiful women for his own lewd pleasures, um, this rumor was fabricated to a certain level.

Bai Liusu has changed a lot since he and Ouyang Yun. This is not only reflected in his appearance, but also in his words and deeds.And what Ouyang Yun couldn't stand the most was that this girl liked to express her opinions more and more through the movements of her hands.

His back was hurting, but his face couldn't show any pain. He said: "It's okay, it's okay, I was just bitten by a bug—hey——" There was another pain in his back, which was a warning to him not to criticize Sanghuai .Biting the word "yo" in his mouth, he said: "Old man, what you heard may be rumors. I've always been an idiot in Guangzhou, but I never heard that Ouyang Yun had such a habit. Besides, Xue Bingjun It’s not like what you said is just a show, their military discipline is very strict, they can only go to the streets on Sundays, and there is never a single line, in order to supervise each other..."

Ouyang Yun was eager to refute the rumors, but he forgot his identity and the purpose of his trip. Now, the old man became suspicious.The latter looked at him fixedly, and suddenly shouted: "Who are you guys? You said you are guests on the mountain, so, do you know the names of each of the Thirteen Taibao?"
