Liu Lang's non-arrogant attitude made the welcome banquet a success, especially since Liu Lang acquiesced in his kinship with Chairman Liu, and the guests and hosts enjoyed the meal thoroughly.
However, Liu Lang refused the garrison site offered by County Magistrate Wang due to a drunken gaffe, which shocked all the military and political officials present in Guangyuan County.
You know, if County Magistrate Wang hadn't drank a few more cups of yellow soup, or if he wanted to flatter Chairman Liu's relative, Colonel Liu of the Central Army, how could he have taken the initiative to put people in the city with his stingy nature?
Nearly 100 acres of land at the foot of Dongshan Mountain was given to Liu Lang. It was a good piece of land. Last time, a wealthy businessman from CD wanted to build a cotton spinning factory and was willing to pay 120 yuan per acre. Even the county magistrate Wang Da was not willing to part with it.
Not to mention that it was given away for free, the Colonel of the Central Army still didn't want it.
County Magistrate Wang, who was somewhat sober, was still heartbroken over the fact that he had lost his mind and sent away more than 10,000 yuan. That was money that he could only earn after working as a county magistrate here for several years. Unexpectedly, he was unexpectedly rejected.
Naturally, the relieved County Magistrate Wang reciprocated the favor and assured Liu Lang that as long as it was land within Guangyuan, Liu Lang's regiment headquarters could be placed wherever they wanted.
Liu Lang was just waiting for County Magistrate Wang to say this. The station provided by County Magistrate Wang was actually very good. It was on the edge of the city and there were mountains next to it. It could not only defend the county seat, but also carry out various military training. If
In times of peace, where is the best choice for the independent regiment's location?
But unfortunately, Liu Lang and his independent regiment will face the elite Japanese Kwantung Army at the Great Wall in eight months. This garrison site of only 100 acres is too small.
Liu Lang laughed and stretched out his hand. Ji Yanxue spread the military map of Guangyuan in his backpack on the table. Liu Lang drew with his fingers around one of the mountain tops: "You're welcome, Mr. Liu, I chose this place."
.”
County Magistrate Wang and the military and political officials were stunned. It was not that the place Liu Lang chose was too important, but that it was too unscientific.
Guangyuan City is located on the northern edge of Sichuan, in the transition zone from mountains to basins. Motianling and Micang Mountains run east to west across the north of the city, and are the boundary mountains of Sichuan and Gansu, and Sichuan and Shaanxi respectively; Longmen Mountain runs diagonally from east to south to the west of the city; to the south of the city is
Jianmen Mountain, Dalan Mountain and other arc-shaped mountain ranges in northern Sichuan cover a wide area. To put it more clearly, it is close to Ningqiang County in Shaanxi Province and Wudu County in Gansu Province. There are basically mountains in the direction, and hilly plains in the direction facing the CD plain.
In this era, the plains can produce a variety of food than the mountains, so they are naturally richer. The mountainous areas have almost nothing except wood for building houses.
The mountain top Liu Lang chose is located in Micang Mountain in the north. Micang Mountain is located north of the line from Wangcang County to Guangyuan in Chaotian District. The altitude of the ridge is 2,276 meters from north to south. It is called Guangtou Mountain. From here
The slopes of Shijialiang, which drops to more than 1,000 meters, are mostly above 25 degrees, and the mountain tops are round. The relative height difference of deep valleys is generally between 500 and 800 meters. The Juyuanba area of the arc-shaped mountain range in northern Sichuan is flourishing.
South of the county seat and the entire territory of Cangxi and Jiange counties.
The location Liu Lang chose is exactly at the intersection of Micang Mountain and Longmen Mountain, 20 miles north of Guangyuan City. The intersection of Longmen, the front edge of Micang Mountain and the arc-shaped mountain in the north of the basin forms a long and narrow piedmont groove, which is called
It is the "Rice Cang Corridor".
There are mountains, plains, and rivers running through the mountains here. If you want to visit there, it is really a good place, but if you want to garrison the army for a long time, the conditions will be too difficult.
"Commander Liu, is the garrison there too far from the county seat? If there are bandits, our fellow villagers will be in danger." Zhan Chengfang, the current city defense commander, raised his objections with a flash of his eyes.
"Haha, the independent regiment's garrison in Guangyuan is naturally to ensure the safety of Guangyuan. However, Liu's independent regiment is a newly established army. It has not yet recruited full soldiers, and training has not been possible. The ground here is wide and can be defended according to danger. It is really
It's a great place for military training, so as for the safety of the county, I naturally have to ask Commander Zhan to take more care of it." Liu Lang said with a gentle smile.
The little things that everyone here is doing will naturally not escape Liu Lang's gaze. When Liu Lang's independent regiment with the name of the Central Military Army comes, the one who will be hardest hit is naturally the city defense commander of Guangyuan County.
To put it inappropriately, if Liu Lang intervenes in the city defense, he, a major city defense commander of the Sichuan Army, will have to leave in despair without even daring to give a shit. How can he be like now with a battalion of no more than 300 men and horses?
Is this Guangyuan City the king of the most popular and spicy drinks?
Liu Lang's meaning just now was very clear. He would only take care of the defense of the entire Guangyuan area, but not the county's defense.
"If you want to win, Zhan will live up to the trust of Commander Liu and do everything possible for the safety of the people of Guangyuan City." Sure enough, when Zhan Chengfang heard Liu Lang's words, he was overjoyed and walked toward Liu Lang with both feet.
The military salute began to show his attitude: "Captain Liu, if you have any needs, I, Zhan Chengfang, will do my best to meet them. I will leave the matter of the barracks built by the Independent Regiment to my subordinates, so that the soldiers can move in with peace of mind as soon as possible."
Interests are something that must be exchanged. Although he is not a big official, Zhan Chengfang, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, is naturally a good player. He immediately reciprocated the favor and took on the workload of the independent regiment barracks.
"Haha, thank you Commander Zhan." Liu Lang clapped his hands and laughed, looking at the people in the county government who were looking at each other, and said: "Everyone, Liu has chosen the station, do you have any other suggestions?"
I suggest you give me a hammer. The county magistrates and bureau chiefs who were disgusted by Zhan Chengfang’s shy face and courtesy finally understood the sinister intentions of this smiling fat colonel of the Central Army. Did he not want to submit a confession? He simply thought that 10,000 yuan was not enough, so he asked
They worked together to create something more interesting.
What's more important is that there is a bastard with a bad leader, and they really don't have the guts not to follow him.
According to the practice during the Republic of China, the garrison commander was the supreme leader of the local area, and he could have the final say on everyone from the county magistrate to the department staff. Although Sichuan was a bit special, apparently they all supported the Nanjing central government, but in fact, from the bald principal to Sichuan
All the old farmers know that Sichuan is the food on the plate of the eight big bosses. But this incident is a bit strange. A regiment-level central army force was forced into their own territory by the bald principal, but it did not attract hundreds of miles.
Not only did Chairman Liu Wenhui and Chairman Liu of the CD Provincial Government not respond at all, they issued a puzzling order to cooperate with the independent regiment of the Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army to hand over all defenses.
If it hadn't been for this order, how would these local gangsters, who have little respect for the central government, be so flattering to Liu Lang?
Even though the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves just now, the military and political parties in Guangyuan County were still united without any gaps, and there was no chance for Liu Lang to take advantage of it. Who would have thought that at the end of the day, when the military station was being selected, Liu Lang only came lightly.
After saying "I'm sorry to trouble you about defense matters," I teased that idiot Zhan Chengfang into a pug that picked up a bone, and the temporary alliance fell apart immediately.
Seeing that things have come to this, what is there to say? From County Magistrate Wang to other leaders who are qualified to attend the welcome banquet, everyone has worked hard to take the lead and divided the daily affairs needed by thousands of people in the independent group.
.
Chi Dakui and Yu Xiancheng couldn't help but marvel. A superior is a superior, but after a meal, the tedious and expensive daily expenses were allocated.
However, those stupid local officials are really rich, and they can bear the expenses of nearly 20,000 yuan without any pressure.
It seems that in the future, we will have to think of more ways to get more out of these corrupt officials. Chi Dakui, who does not weigh more than fifty yuan, like his superiors, viciously targeted Guangyuan County and took out money.
The big guys who are suffering from physical pain.
