my wife is a consul

Chapter 396
The northernmost Shuangshanji in Mengdong County, as the name suggests, has mountains nearby.

There are bunkers on the two hills in the east and west of the town, which are the northernmost extension of the Mengdong Fortress that Cheng Dasui has operated for many years.

Mengdong County is located at the front of Wanzhou and Nanping Road. Cheng Dasui built a large number of blockhouses with Mengdong County as the center, calling himself the Mengdong Fortress.

However, after the Black Mountain Legion's hot air balloon bombed its arsenal, the Wanzhou Army retreated without a fight in horror. The entire territory of Mengdong County fell into the hands of the Black Mountain Army, and the bunkers it built were taken over by the Black Mountain Army.

The Cangyun Regiment was stationed in Mengdong County, but after Cheng Dasui appeared in Jinzhou and published in the newspaper, the 325nd Regiment of the 2 Division of Heishan was also quickly dispatched to Mengdong.

The bunker on the top of the hill near Shuangshanji is guarded by a squadron of the Mengdong Garrison Battalion.

But near Shuangshanji, there is an infantry battalion of the 325nd Regiment of the 2th Division.

General Lu did not regard the Cangyun Group that had actually belonged to him as a miscellaneous brand, and handed over all the dangerous positions that might be raided to the Cangyun Group. This is also the reason why the Cangyun Group has become more and more loyal from officers to soldiers. The Cangyun regiment's political training system was originally composed of officers from Montenegro.

In the internal documents of the Cangyun regiment, it has already used the designation of the 325th regiment of the 7th division.

The 325th Division originally had three infantry regiments, plus the United Matrix Independent Regiment, and later reorganized the garrison regiments in Jiangjing, Jingyang and Longhe into the 325th and 4th regiments of the 5th Division. Now in the graduation season of students in July, students from military schools in five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are still alive. There are graduates recruited by military academies in the farther south, organized into the 7th regiment, also known as the student regiment, and there are even some young Western youths full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

In addition, the Cangyun group has already defaulted to 7 groups.

Today's 325th Division has expanded to 8 regiments, 6 regular regiments, a joint matrix independent regiment, and a student regiment.

Moreover, the regiment-level units are all fully staffed. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments are super-staffed and strengthened regiments. The independent regiment itself means that it is not a regular regiment. The entire 325th Division has a total strength of about 2 people. It is much larger than the average infantry division, but it is similar in number to the Dongying division.

Basically, it has reached the limit that Montenegro's finances can support today.

Of course, it is the limit without affecting the financial health of Montenegro's own development.

As for the fiscal revenues of Jingyang and Longhe cities, they are basically negligible.

……

The Shuangshan Market Town Office was originally the residence of the big landlord in the village, but now it is the town office and the team headquarters of the Shuangshan Ji Brigade of the Eastern Mengmeng Militia.

The militias developed in eastern Mongolia are completely different from those maintained by gentry in the past.

It is a force established to really mobilize villagers to protect their homes and land, also known as the Farm Guard.

Almost every village has a peasant guard.

Almost every young man in the village is a farm guard. After hearing that Cheng Dasui might make a comeback, the villagers all spontaneously joined the farm guard and made red-tasseled guns, broadswords, earthen guns, etc. Yesterday, there was news , There are peasant guards who can shoot. The county will equip the peasant guards of each village with a short gun and a long gun.

Guns have already been issued to the Shuangshanji brigade today, because the peasant guard has hundreds of registered members, and there have always been mountain hunters in the local area, so a short gun and three long guns were issued.

Now, Zhao Shizhu, the heroic team leader with a pistol in his waist, is standing at the foot of the town hall, his face full of excitement and excitement.

Lu Ming did as the Romans did when he went to the countryside, but now he sat on the stone lion with no manners, and asked Zhao Shizhu about the militia with a smile.

Ding Wanjun, who was wearing a brown-green officer's uniform skirt and a beret, stood beside Lu Ming, in stark contrast to Lu Ming's casual riding on a lion's head.

Surrounded by some villagers watching the excitement.

Zhao Shizhu was full of excitement. It was the first time he saw such a big officer. He heard that he was much bigger than the county magistrate, and he could often see a senior official like General Lu.

General Lu gave everyone the land, and the officers Zhang are General Lu's assistants, helping General Lu to do great things.

It's just that this officer is too casual and doesn't pay attention to appearance.

However, the excitement of seeing the chief soon overwhelmed this weird feeling, and Zhao Shizhu answered in a sonorous voice when he heard the question that Chief Zhang asked the agricultural guards.

I heard from Chief Zhang that if Cheng Dasui's bandit army makes a comeback, we are temporarily defeated, and we need to repair before we can counterattack.
Zhao Shizhu gritted his teeth and said loudly: "We will swear to the death and fight Cheng Tuhu to the end!"

"Yes, bloody battle to the end!"

"Fight with Cheng Tuhu!"

The surrounding villagers also raised their arms and shouted.

In fact, Lu Ming originally asked this question to tell them that it is not a big deal to give in temporarily, just wait for us to come back.

But looking at the fortitude on Zhao Shizhu's face, and hearing the shouts of the excited villagers, he couldn't say these words.

Unlike previous life imagination, life may not really be that important in front of integrity in many cases.

For them, they have been humiliated under Cheng Dasui's rule for too long, and now they finally stand up, and they might really rather die than go back to the past.

"Don't worry folks, there won't be such a day!" Lu Ming pressed his hands down, and the villagers who shouted slogans gradually became quiet.

"Mr. Zhang, I still don't quite understand the message tree you mentioned just now..." Zhao Shizhu asked for knowledge.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this for now." He patted the lion's head, "When I sat up, I heard someone muttering in a low voice, saying that I don't look like a high-ranking official, why do I sit here? It's desecrating the authority of the yamen ?”

"What do we know? Officer Zhang, don't take offense!" Zhao Shizhu smiled naively.

Lu Ming's expression became serious, "If you think I'm sitting in an indecent manner and being rude to you, I will apologize, but if I say that sitting on a stone lion is an insult to official authority, let me say that if these stone lions are Those that are used to suppress government offices and scare the common people should be smashed!"

Seeing how the common people were bewildered and at a loss, Lu Ming's desire to start talking became weaker, and he couldn't reach that level.

Jumping off the stone lions, he said to Zhao Shizhu, "I'll find someone later, take these two stone lions away, and go watch the fields. They are the watchdogs of the rich and powerful families. Now let all the folks in our town look at the fields." Guard against thieves!"

"Okay!" Zhao Shizhu readily agreed, as if he could vaguely understand what Chief Zhang was talking about.

Lu Ming looked at this young man, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He smiled and said, "Accompany me up to Dongtou Mountain in a while, and I'll go see what's going on in the north, and you'll help me explain."

"Yes!" Zhao Shizhu stood at attention, quite standard.

Ding Wanjun behind Lu Ming couldn't help smiling.
