Chapter 55: The Iron Maiden

  After Wang Changhu told them to shut up, he didn't say anything either. He led them towards the cafeteria. The people behind him also didn't dare speak, knowing that the person in front had a bad temper, so they just followed quietly; soon, they arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria.

  The standing dolls saw Wang Xiaojun and Tieshi walking over and greeted them: "Uncle Tie, you're here?"

  "Little General, you're here! Our village's Er Ya is still nagging about you!, when are you going to go see Er Ya sister?" a kid said.

  "Little Brother Jun, Little Brother Jun. I'm San Mao, my sister asked me to greet you. When are you coming to our village? You must come to my home and sit for a while, my sister misses you!" Another kid said.

  "Uncle Iron, when are you going to take us to dig out bird nests?" a little kid asked.

  “…………”

  Tieshi and Wang Xiaojun both greeted the little ghosts below, saying "Hello, everyone..."

  In a short while, dozens of people came to face these children, divided into two columns and stood in order.

  Zhaoyunfei was still here maintaining the order of these children, Wang Changhu walked over and said to him: "Old Zhao, I've brought the officer for you now, you can start reorganizing now, after finishing, just tell me the result." After that, Wang Changhu left.

  Zhao Yunfei walked up to the officers' team and asked: "Who did the boss ask to be the brigade commander?"

  Tieshi and Wang Xiaojun shook their heads together.

  Zhao Yunfei took a look at Wang Changhu leaving the difficult problem to him, furrowed his brow and asked again: "Which of you two will have a higher official position?"

  Wang Xiaojun smiled and took a step forward, saying: "I used to be a battalion commander as a junior captain."

  Zhao Yunfei looked at Wang Xiaojun and asked: "Are you that young lieutenant from the Third Cavalry Regiment?"

  Wang Xiao-jun smiled awkwardly and replied: "That's right."

  Zhao Yun thought to himself: This time it's easy, as long as the tour leader is elected, everything will be fine!

  Suddenly, Tie Shi spoke up: "Wang Xiaojun, you can be the brigade leader if you want, but first take my daughter back home and then we'll talk!"

  Wang Xiaojun "thudded" down onto the ground, his face twisted in a scowl as he said: "You be the brigade leader instead!"

  Zhao Yun was stunned and asked: "Wang Xiaojun, what are you doing?"

  Wang Xiaojun pointed at Tieshi and said: "His daughter is Iron Girl!"

  Zhao Yunfei suddenly enlightened and said: "So your daughter is Iron Lady, sorry, sorry."

  Tie Shi was taken aback and asked: "Do you know my daughter?"

  Zhao Yunfei bitterly smiled and said: "Your daughter is now very famous, she has recruited all the brothers in our mountain, if not for this time I would not have only drafted some young soldiers, your daughter is too formidable!"

  Tieshi scratched his head and said: "How come I don't know about this?"

  Zhao Yunfei patted him on the shoulder and said: "You don't need to know about this, are you interested in calling your daughter out of the mountain?"

  "What's the point of coming out of the mountain?"

  Zhao Yunfei said: "Helping Hu Zi to tidy up this cavalry brigade, how about that?"

  Ironstone hastily shook his head and said: "A big girl like you coming here? No way, no way!"

  Wang Xiaojun stood up and said: "The one at your house doesn't look like a girl to me, that's more manly than us men."

  "Tiě shí yī tīng, mà dào: 'xiǎo tù zǐ zi, nǐ huó nì fán le shì bú shì, lǎo zi qiā sǐ nǐ!'"

  Translation:

  "As soon as he heard this, Iron Rock scolded: 'You little rabbit, are you tired of living? I'll strangle you to death!'"

  Wang Xiaojun was startled and immediately hid behind Zhao Yunfei, hiding from Tie Shi; Zhao Yunfei hastily grabbed Tie Shi and said: "Brother Tie, consider my words, let the brigade commander act as a proxy for now, Wang Xiaojun will be the chief of staff, it's settled for now; you pick out those who can ride horses first, if there aren't enough people, choose from the remaining ones to make up 4500 people, so I can report back to Hu Zi; alright, you all get busy now!" After finishing speaking, Zhao Yunfei stood aside and watched as dozens of newly appointed cavalry brigade officers got busy.

  At 4 pm, all departments had finished their preparations. Wang Changtiger decided to hold a brief meeting in the conference room of the Seventh Brigade, which is now the Corps Conference Room. Xu Yingfa called to say that they would return half an hour later, and Wang Changtiger decided to let the heads of the households discuss first.

  The first topic was Wang Changhu talking about the cavalry regiment, and everyone felt very surprised. Liu Fang said: "Although establishing a cavalry regiment is good, where will these people be stationed? If they are stationed in the Liu family's large courtyard, isn't the place too small? Moreover, cavalry regiments are generally stationed near places with plenty of water and grass, so this group of children's garrison will be far away from us!"

  Everyone nodded in agreement with this view; Wang Changhu also agreed with this view, but now he had to consider the survival problem of all troops comprehensively, and not be dragged down by these little rascals!

  Wang Changhu glanced at Zhao Yunfei and said: "Old Zhao, how's the reorganization of the cavalry brigade going?"

  "Zhao Yunfei replied: 'The entire brigade has 4,500 people. The direct subordinate team has 500 people. Two cavalry regiments of 1,500 people each were established. Of the remaining 1,000 people, 500 are in the recruit battalion, and the rest are in the logistics support battalion. The acting brigade commander is Tie Shi, and the chief of staff is Wang Xiaojun. They both concurrently serve as commanders of the first and second regiments. The commander of the recruit battalion is Tie Shi's younger brother, Tie Xiong. The commander of the logistics support battalion is an old comrade named Shi Jiang. That's all.'"

  Wang Changhu furrowed his brow and asked: "Why is it 'Deputy Brigade Commander' instead of 'Brigade Commander'?"

  Zhao Yunfei smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, I wanted Wang Xiaojun to be the division commander, but Tie Shi proposed a condition that Wang Xiaojun marry his daughter. Wang Xiaojun was afraid, so he became the chief of staff instead. The division commander had to be temporarily replaced by Tie Shi; however, I have found an even more suitable candidate for the position!"

  "Who?" Wang Changhu hastily asked.

  "Zhao Yunfei said: 'Iron Rock's daughter - Iron Girl.'"

  As soon as they heard the words "Iron Lady", Ouyang Qing, Liu Fang, and Chang San stood up in unison and asked Zhao Yunfei, "Are you sure?"

  Zhao Yunfei glared and said: "What's wrong, don't you believe me? This is what Tieshi himself said. If you don't believe it, go ask him directly and you'll understand."

  Wang Changhu looked at them in confusion and asked, "What are you doing? Isn't she just a little girl? Looking at her timid appearance, how could she possibly eat people?"

  Several people sat down awkwardly; Zhao Yunfei said: "Huzi, you don't understand the situation, let's talk about this time's troop withdrawal. I originally thought that after arriving at the mountain, we could smoothly withdraw some old soldiers, but after going there and taking a look, I saw that there were not many wounded soldiers. After inquiring, I found out that our mountain troops had clashed with Tie Niangzi and lost nearly a thousand people. As a result, no troops were withdrawn, and the old troops even withdrew several hundred more. I could only lead a few thousand children back!"

  Wang Changhu was taken aback and asked: "Is this little girl so fierce?"

  Chang San said: "It's not just fierce, it's become a god!"

  Wang Changhu's interest was piqued and he said, "Then tell me, what makes her so formidable?"

  Zhao Yunfei pointed at Chang San and said: "Let him speak, he knows best."

  Chang San said, "This matter still has to start from the time Wang Xiaojun's father was captured. At that time, Wang Xiaojun's father, Wang Debiao, was a small leader of bandits under Zhang Dashuai. He had no intention of taking office and continued his old profession, hiding in Baiqing Village, Qinglong Mountain, south of Shenyang City. At that time, Tie Shi was still an ironworker, living in a small village at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, not far from Qinglong Mountain. When Tie Nü was 12 years old, her mother took her back to her hometown, but they encountered bandits halfway. To protect her child, Tie Shi's wife was brutally killed by the bandits. At that time, Tie Nü was hiding in a place not far from where her mother met with misfortune..."

  Wang Changhu said: "That's what I'm saying."

  Chang San's face turned red as he continued: "Iron Stone, in a fit of rage, took his daughter to Qinglong Mountain to find Wang Debiao and seek revenge. However, after asking around, they found out it wasn't them who did it; so Iron Stone had no choice but to stay on Qinglong Mountain. Later, Iron Stone went solo and moved to Fenghuang Mountain. Every time he took action, Tie Niu would charge forward first. They encountered many notorious bandits, all of whom were flayed alive, had their tendons pulled out, and bled to death. Many fierce bandits, upon hearing Tie Niu's name, were so scared they didn't dare sleep at night. Over time, the nickname "Iron Maiden" spread far and wide.

  "Then how did she get into a fight with your mountain troops?" Wang Changhu asked.

  Chang San explained: "After Wang Debiao left, Qinglong Mountain was empty; just as our two regimental commanders escaped here and took over the place. We had a regimental commander who was a lecher, he liked to mess around with young girls on the bed, the more they resisted him, the more excited he became. Last August, this regimental commander got his hands on a young girl, extremely promiscuous, it turned out that she was an attendant of Tie Niangzi, and when she returned home, she was caught again; This regimental commander was still somewhat clear-headed, didn't touch her, just asked Tie Niangzi for some ransom money and let the person go; As a result, the ransom money was collected, the person was released, but Tie Niangzi still attacked us; You think about it, that Tie Niangzi originally came from Qinglong Mountain, very familiar with the layout of the mountain, as a result, we suffered heavy losses, hundreds of people were injured."

  "Wasn't it said that nearly a thousand people were lost? How come it's just several hundred?"

  Chang San smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, our two battalion commanders were going to surround the house from top to bottom, but Iron Lady suddenly fired a shot in the east and another in the west. Just when we were about to succeed in surrounding them, they jumped out of the encirclement. Our own two groups fought well, but lost several hundred men!"

  Wang Changhu nodded and asked, "What happened later?"

  Chang San said, "Later, Wang Debiao led his troops back to Bai Qingzhai and mediated between the two parties. I heard that Wang Xiaojun also went there and even proposed to Tie Niangzi in person, but was stripped of his clothes and thrown into a horse pen in front of his own father."

  Wang Changhu said: "Didn't Wang Debiao get angry?"

  Chang San smiled and said, "Nonsense, the more Iron Lady is like this, the more he likes it. In fact, Iron Stone's fighting skills are just average, relying on his daughter Feng Jun to dominate Phoenix Mountain. Otherwise, they would have been eliminated long ago."

  "What is Feng Jun?"

  Chang San replied, "It's a troop of more than 500 women, formed by Iron Lady after eliminating countless small bandits and saving some women who were persecuted by the bandits. They are all cavalry."

  Wang Changhu tapped his fingers on the table and said, "So, she's quite familiar with cavalry?"

  Wang Changhu said so, and several people in the house hurriedly said:

  "She's even more ruthless than men."

  "We've seen worse than him"

  "Just choose her! It's definitely okay."

  “……”

  Wang Changhu looked coldly at several chattering subordinates, thinking to himself: Are you still men? You don't even blush when boasting about a woman!

  Everyone saw Wang Changhu's face and felt embarrassed.

  At this time, Wang Changhu said: "In a while, you will call Tieshi in, I will discuss this matter with him, and then we will proceed to the next topic..."

  The door suddenly opened and Huang Yifei walked in with someone on his back.
