"Captain, Mr. Xia from Chun Hesheng is here."

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 were spoken, Zhu Chuanwen changed his words again: "Forget it, I will greet them personally."

Although after becoming a vigilante group, Zhu Chuanwen's social status has been rapidly improved 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 silver dollars in real money, and it can be said that he also invested a lot of original stocks.

This kind of armed group, no matter where it 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 wanting 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 the 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 practicing the formation, on the surface, it seems that the orders and prohibitions are enforced, and in this era, you can be regarded as an elite soldier.

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, you can't train too much even if you want to.

But if each person practices dozens of rounds, he can already outperform most soldiers in this era.

Weapons that require professional knowledge, such as artillery, are nowhere to be purchased and have nothing to do with the 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: "Old man, would you like to help me check the school, 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 strength 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, there is no need to worry for at least three months.

But we cannot wait until we run out of ammunition and food before we consider 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 school inspections 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 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 is not Zhu Chuanwen's purpose to entertain the people.

The most important thing is to perform for the mayor of the town and the big families 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, whom Zhu Chuanwen arranged in advance, the big families in the town donated generously.

With the first collective contribution, there is a foundation for continued formation of routines.

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 it quickly reaches the outside world.

The area outside the Pass was originally a place where the influence of the Manchu and Qing courts 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.

The reason why the representatives in the court are too fat is not to blame for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties being rejected by everyone.

Regardless of their origins, serious or not serious people, and what 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.

Chuanwu wanted to be a filial son who cared about the 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 action, Zhu Chuanwen could participate without Chuanwu.

But Chuanwu insisted on being stubborn and seduce the training of the militia soldiers, and Zhu Chuanwen had nothing to do.

When he was busy, 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 came to the town, Chuanwu could naturally come too.

"Have they arrived at the house? Can I explain and then go back?"

With Zhu Chuanwen's current status as "Bailihou", it is not difficult to have his own mansion in Yuanbao Town.

This house is not a new courtyard, Zhu Chuanwen is already 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 was because he missed everyone else's daughter and wanted to be closer to Yushu.

Chuanjie spent 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 didn't want to show up in the town more, and 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.

Zhu Kaishan did not want to have anything to do with affecting 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 theater 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 is a core place like Yuanbao Town.

New ideas need to spread to break down the old and rotten ideas of the past few hundred years.

"Let's go and listen to the show."

Arranged the soldiers under his command, leaving the necessary personnel on duty.

The others also went home alone. After resting and recuperating, Zhu Chuanwen was going to take Chuanwu to watch the show.

The civilized dramas of this era can be regarded as short-term characteristics of the times.

After missing this period of time, it will not be easy 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 Chuan Wu.

"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 had thousands of troops, so orderly soldiers and adjutants must all be arranged.

Even if it's not for show, not for safety, just for the 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 and refused 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 talkative as a resentful woman.

Before, Zhu Chuanwen really didn't realize that Chuanwu was so eloquent, and 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 didn’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 Chuanwu casually, but Chuanwu didn't pick anyone.

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 wanted to find the same person as Xian'er. Zhu Chuanwen really couldn't help, and there was nothing he could do.

He's obviously a reckless man, someone whose parents don't care much about.

Even though he is emotionally indifferent, 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. 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 point out some problems.

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, it is already worth it for a girl to do this.

The girl was just a little bit worse looking than Xian'er, so Chuanwu looked down on her. She was obviously out of ideas.

"Xiu'er, long time no see. Did you come to this town alone or with your father?"

This girl who is neither ugly nor handsome is Han Xiuer.

Fengniugou, where Lao Zhu's family took root, is the only daughter of the big landowner Han Laohai.

If Chuanwu wants to marry this girl, he will 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 Chuanwu 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. (End of chapter)
