Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 195 Suppressing Bandits

"Leader, those little bastards eat and drink well every day. As long as you give the order, we brothers will not hesitate to kill anyone you tell us to kill." Tieli stood up and waved his arms excitedly.

"That's good, but I want to hear your opinions on the War Hall and our Yanhuang Alliance." Hou Xiaoge asked.

"I don't have any big opinions. We just need to train ourselves well and serve the alliance. We will beat anyone who provokes us."

"What about attacking the government?"

"Uh! That's not enough strength."

"Haha! I'm just kidding. We are a gang, how can we fight with the government!" Hou Xiaoge saw Tieli's blushing face and teased with a smile.

"That's what I said! Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the government. How can you, leader, let us fight with the government? That's like an egg hitting a stone!

But if that jerk from the government messes with you, you tell my old friend, I will take my brothers to hunt him down day and night, and I will take care of him sooner or later to vent your anger." Tieli patted his chest and promised solemnly.

"My friend, do you know the purpose of my return to China?" Hou Xiaoge didn't want to talk nonsense with this guy, so he changed the subject.

"Of course I know! You are a patriotic Chinese who returned to China to support the war against the Japanese invaders." Tieli replied without thinking.

"Yes! That's right, I support the war against the Japanese. I am a businessman. When I first returned to China to fight the Japanese, I could only pay money, but most of the money was embezzled by the government.

So I could only use my own methods to fight the war in a roundabout way, and that's how the Yanhuang League was established.

Oh! By the way, let’s save our compatriots who are in trouble, even if we can only do a little bit. ” Hou Xiaoge said with a sigh.

“Alliance leader, you are the most conscientious businessman I have ever seen, a thousand times and ten thousand times better than those black-hearted capitalists.

Besides, you didn’t just save a few people. In the past few months, under your leadership, the Yanhuang League has saved tens of thousands of people.” Tieli said with admiration.

Seeing that Tieli had been trying to flatter him in a roundabout way, Hou Xiaoge stopped beating around the bush.

“My friend, the Yanhuang Alliance now has a certain strength, especially the Battle Hall. According to the regular army, it has the strength of two reinforced regiments.

Don't you think it's a bit of a waste for so many people to stay behind? Do you have any idea of contributing to the country? "Hou Xiaoge talked to himself for a while, then asked Tieli.

"Alliance leader, now that you've said that, I also think we can let the brothers move around a bit. Staying at home all the time makes people lazy.

But we won't go to the battlefield to fight the devils, right? We don't have enough weapons in our hands!

I've made it clear in advance that I'm not afraid of death! I'll be the first one to fight the Japanese." Tieli scratched his head and said.

"Going to the battlefield is the job of the regular army. We just need to take care of the logistics in the back. What I mean is that you should take your brothers to suppress the bandits." A cold light flashed in Hou Xiaoge's eyes.

"Suppressing bandits?"

Tieli was a little surprised. He didn't expect Hou Xiaoge to make such a decision. He thought he wanted to grab territory!

“Yes, since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, both the Nationalist government and the local military have focused on fighting the Japanese invaders and neglected to pay attention to the local areas.

These bandits burned, killed and looted everywhere. It can be said that there is a small bandit in every village and a big bandit in every county.

In recent months, we have been stopped by these bandits and asked for protection money while doing business. The monthly expenditure is as high as 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, which has seriously affected our interests.

In the future, the brothers in the alliance will develop towards the northwest and southwest. There are more bandits in these two directions, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in these two places without special skills.

Moreover, these bandits often oppress the people, and we cannot just sit back and watch.

After the New Year, the alliance will operate a security group with the local government, and then we can deal with these bandits openly. "Hou Xiaoge said seriously.

"But, leader, we have no experience in suppressing bandits!" Tieli was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter. You will gain experience as you fight more battles. Besides, I will also borrow some professional officers from the Qin Army to assist you.

And you, as the head of the war hall, must learn from the Qin army. The Yanhuang League needs its own armed forces, not a bunch of hooligans. "Hou Xiaoge said while knocking on Tieli.

"With the assistance of professional soldiers, there will be no problem. As for studying, it is a bit difficult, but I will definitely study hard with Qin Jun." Tieli nodded with a wry smile.

In fact, Hou Xiaoge said this in order to train these gang members' ability to fight and shed blood, and to train collective discipline at the same time.

Otherwise, these disciples will continue to collect protection fees, guard the gate and escort the gang, and they will be useless in the long run.

"Well! After the new year, we will select brothers who specialize in combat. The monthly salary of these brothers who specialize in combat will increase by three dollars, and other benefits will also be improved.

Later, the disciples who are going to fight will be separated from those who are unwilling to participate in the fight and just want to work safely in the gang, and they will be managed separately. The fighting team needs to be pure.

The initial number of brothers who will fight is set at 3,000. If there are not enough people to guard the cars and the gates, we will recruit peripheral disciples. "Hou Xiaoge tapped the table with his fingers and ordered.

Tieli didn't expect Hou Xiaoge to arrange three thousand people at once, and he opened his mouth in shock.

However, Hou Xiaoge has the final say in the Yanhuang Alliance. He just has to carry out whatever arrangements are made and nodded with a wry smile.

“There are more than 500 guns in the alliance now. We can first set up a reinforcement battalion to train these disciples in advance. Don’t be afraid of wasting bullets.

I will purchase a batch of weapons after the New Year, and strive to make sure every disciple can pick up a gun and fight." Hou Xiaoge said.

"Okay! I'll arrange it right after the New Year. But leader, I've never done it before. Can you come over and give me some guidance when the time comes?" Tieli said in a low voice with a red face.

"No problem. I just happened to have military training. You can choose the people then and I will come and lead you for seven days." Seeing Tieli's confused face, Hou Xiaoge sighed in his heart and nodded in agreement.

In fact, Hou Xiaoge would have gone even without Tieli's suggestion. After all, the gun must have its master, otherwise it would be bad to help others.

After Tieli left, Hou Xiaoge took Wenjun to Yuying Hall.

As soon as she arrived at Yuying Hall, Hou Xiaoge was attracted by the sound of reading aloud, and her mentality became much calmer.

Yuying Hall is the place Hou Xiaoge visits most frequently, basically once every three days.

The children here develop the deepest feelings from an early age and are the future of the Yanhuang Alliance.

Like Jimin Hall, Yuying Hall is located in a ditch and people also live in cave dwellings, but life is very good. They have three meals a day, two liquid meals and one dry meal, and they eat meat once a week.

Those who have parents and those without parents are separated, and those whose parents send them here voluntarily are also separated. These children were sent here by their parents because of the disaster, and maybe their parents will take them back in the future.

But the food is the same. If these children with parents are asked to go back and the food is not good, most of them will come back, which will increase their sense of belonging.

For Yuyingtang, Hou Xiaoge also spent a lot of effort to hire more than 20 teachers to teach these children to recognize words.

Hou Xiaoge also brought out the pinyin from the previous life and the simplified Chinese characters that have appeared now, so that learning to read can be faster and more convenient.

Now most of these children are recovering physically. Every day they read and learn to read and play. This can help them recover better, both physically and mentally.

After the New Year, Hou Xiaoge will ask soldiers to provide military training and militarized management for these children. In addition to going to work, they will also do some simple labor. He doesn't want to raise a group of parasites.

After all, Hou Xiaoge is also a capitalist, not a philanthropist.

Behind Yuying Hall is a kindergarten, where children aged three to six live. These children are the younger brothers and sisters of the children of Yuying Hall.

When we recruited them, many of them were brothers and sisters. Some of them were not old enough, so we naturally could not give up. Hou Xiaoge even encouraged this situation.

Because they will not abandon their younger brothers and sisters, they can be more assured to train those who have ties with them, and only then can they take charge of the Yanhuang League in the future.

Most of these children are unable to take care of themselves and have no memory, so Hou Xiaoge specially sent some of the disciples' family members to take care of them. They will be considered the true heirs and successors of the Yuying Class and the Yanhuang League in the future.
