Chapter 159 The Affiliated Troops of the Mercenary Group
Zhou Wen divided the development of Lishi into three aspects: politics, military and business.
The county government first adjusted its personnel, and all officials who were not locals from Lishi were dismissed. The sons and nephews of the bosses of the Lishi Chamber of Commerce and famous squires were recruited. As long as they had studied, they were all trained and entered into the county.
Government work. If you encounter big or difficult problems, you can ask the Lishi Chamber of Commerce to work together to solve them.
Zhou Wen's move was to unite and participate in all the local industrial and commercial forces in Lishi and mobilize their enthusiasm. With the help of these forces, Wang Chenghao's position as county magistrate was secure and could last for a long time.
In addition to daily management and completing tasks assigned by the provincial government, the main work of the county government is to first establish the county party headquarters. This is to support Liu Ruoshui, the eldest brother. The director of the county party office is concurrently served by Wang Chenghao, and all personnel are from the county.
The officials and staff of the county are concurrently employed. Branches of the county party headquarters are also established in the chamber of commerce. Each village and town under the jurisdiction of the county government must be established. All branches have only one focus and purpose--poverty alleviation.
The county government and the county party committee do not participate in political activities. In fact, they are selling sheep's meat to dogs. It will take five years to solve the problem of food and clothing for 150,000 people in Lishi County. After all, in this era, even if
In the county town, there are still only a few families who have no worries about food and clothing, let alone those villages and towns scattered in the mountainous areas.
To this end, chambers of commerce must be established in all parts of the county. The chambers of commerce are obliged to help the county government and the county party department solve poverty alleviation problems. The county party department must go deep into various places to conduct investigations. Those landlords who have been extremely angry and have maliciously exploited the people in fish and meat townships for many years must
The squires and profiteers who still refused to repent under the order handed over the list to Zhou Wen for processing.
In terms of the military, the size of the county security team will be expanded. In the future, Zhou Wen will expand the security team into a security regiment. Zhou Wen will ask for the establishment. But the number of soldiers will be expanded from now on. The number is tentatively set at 500. The scope of the expansion is mainly based on
The mountainous areas within the jurisdiction are mainly Orion hunters. Any young man aged 18 to 25 who lives in the area under the jurisdiction of Lishi County, as long as he is an Orion or has military experience, can join the security team. Payment will be made on time every month.
The pay and income of soldiers are calculated according to local living standards, which should at least ensure that a family of four will not go hungry.
Zhou Wen was not worried about recruiting so many people and whether any of them would be willing to join the army. According to his eldest brother Lin Dongping, there are many villages in the mountainous areas that rely solely on hunting to make a living within the jurisdiction of Lishi. Basically, there are many villages in the mountains.
Each village has several families who make a living solely on hunting.
Not to mention that after the defeat in the Central Plains War, the Jin army was ordered to draw down. The Jin army, which had previously reached a maximum strength of 300,000, was now reduced to less than 200,000. Where did the others go? They were all disbanded and returned.
According to county records, there are more than a thousand soldiers from Lishi County who have returned home after being discharged from the army this year.
As for the question of whether you are willing to join the army, hey! Where can you look across the country to find soldiers who can provide military pay that can keep the family from going hungry? Zhou Wen believes that if the news is spread to other counties, the soldiers on the payroll will also be jealous.
Some people even deserted and came to Lishi to serve as soldiers.
There are two sources of military expenditures for the security team. The county government and the chamber of commerce each share half. Of course, Fuyuan Company is responsible for the majority of the money in the chamber of commerce. As the boss, we must have the responsibility and responsibility of the boss. The equipment is first used from the previous and recently captured training.
Stay tuned, Zhou Wen will slowly solve it in the future.
In fact, Zhou Wen wanted to build the Lishi County Security Team as an affiliated force of the mercenary regiment. Because in Zhou Wen's vision, when war breaks out in the future, the mercenary regiment, as a strategic mobile strike force, needs to be deployed on battlefields across the country at any time.
.Then there must be an armed force in the rear responsible for protecting the territory and the people, and guarding the base camp of the mercenary group.
This is the reason for the expansion of the security team. Zhou Wen still feels that 500 people are not enough. It is best to reach a scale of 1,000 people, which is barely enough. There is no rush now, because Zhou Wen is planning to set up a provincial party headquarters security guard in Taiyuan.
team, freeing up the manpower of the mercenary group. In the future, there will also be an armed force in Taiyuan that Zhou Wen can directly control. Zhou Wen has already thought of the leader of the guard team, Zeng Erniu, who has defected to him not long ago.
Zeng Erniu has many years of experience in the military, is relatively stable in his conduct, and is a smart man with discernment. Otherwise, he would not have resolutely given up his career in the military to join him. In addition, he is a foreigner and has no roots in Shanxi.
There is no other choice but to follow yourself wholeheartedly.
As for whether he can command in battle? Not to mention his previous combat experience, wouldn't others be able to learn it with the help of Zhou Wen and others?
In Zhou Wen's heart, reliability is the first priority. As for talent, learning is all that matters. This is why he arranged for his cousin to be the county magistrate and agreed with Zhang An to be the security captain.
Since it is an affiliated unit of the mercenary group, its combat effectiveness cannot be weakened. Although it is impossible to train to the level of the mercenary group members, they must be elite soldiers far beyond the general army. Therefore, Miaohua was entrusted with important tasks by Zhou Wen, and temporarily
She stayed in Lishi County and was responsible for the selection and training of security team personnel. Now Miaohua is called the chief instructor.
As for equipment, Zhou Wen has also considered it. The future battles of the security team will basically belong to defensive battles, blocking battles and annihilation battles with obvious advantages. Equipment must be considered based on these aspects of combat needs. Heavy firepower and long-range strikes must be the main focus, and the configuration
Just the right amount of precision shooter cover.
The heavy machine guns, mortars, and mountain artillery that the mercenary group is not suitable for equipping in large quantities will be the main equipment of the security team in the future. All tactics and training revolve around how to maximize the advantages of these heavy firepowers. In the five-year-old security team,
Among the hundred-man establishment, Zhou Wen planned to select 150 strong and strong people to form a mountain artillery company. Then he would form a heavy machine gun company of 150 people. The remaining people would form two infantry companies of 100 people.
Equipped with rifles, submachine guns and light machine guns.
The party guard in Taiyuan plans to form a heavy machine gun company and a mortar company, as well as two infantry companies.
With this development, when the two teams joined forces, Zhou Wen had a mountain artillery company, a mortar company, two heavy machine gun companies, and four infantry companies, such a formidable and terrifying force.
.This does not include the mercenary group itself.
Such a force will be more than enough to guard the mercenary regiment's base camp in the Luliang Mountains when the Anti-Japanese War breaks out in the future. Unless the Japanese use troops of brigade level or above to attack. But mountainous areas are not plains, and tens of thousands of troops go deep into the mountains on rugged and steep roads.
, mountainous areas with crisscrossed ditch walls, let alone the issue of whether the troops can be deployed, even those heavy weapons are difficult to carry. Hey! Am I still afraid of you, a Japanese soldier without heavy weapons?
Zhou Wen is still very confident. As long as the troops he has trained fight in the hometown environment that the soldiers are familiar with, even if you come with ten thousand, I can drag you to death and exhaust you to death, unless you build the city on the mountain.
