  "Alright, what's the point of crying?" Deng Zhisong looked at Zhao Miaosheng who had been crying in front of him for a while and became impatient. He was providing support to this man with the surname Zhao, but he didn't dare to cover up for someone who was a traitor. Moreover, who knew if he was a traitor? If Wang Xiaojie really took over Jianchang, would this old man take away his position as county head? So he interrupted Zhao Miaosheng's crying: "You're almost seventy years old, why are you still crying like a child? What's the point of crying, are you a woman?"

  "But, but" Zhao Miao Sheng was stunned by Deng Zhi Teng's roar, and the carefully planned crying scene had to be stopped. He looked at Deng Zhi Teng with some confusion. In the past, Deng Zhi Teng had accepted his money, but had never spoken a harsh word to him, yet today he was yelling at him.

  "What's going on here? Can an arm twist over a leg? Commander Sun has already reported to the garrison commander of Liang Town and also obtained the permission of General Jiang. Is it something that you and I can resist?" Deng Zisheng had long thought out how to deal with this Zhao Da, and he spoke out the excuses and lies he had previously thought of.

  "What? Even General Jiang has agreed to this? This is a change in the system of government! How could General Jiang possibly agree to this?" Zhao Miaosheng was even more astonished, as Jiang Guotie was a well-known conservative Beiyang warlord, stubborn and conservative. It was hard for Zhao Miaosheng to believe that he would break with years of tradition and grant such rights.

  "How did I know, but he agreed to the reform report submitted by Liang Shizhang this time. Are you dare to ask General Jiang or am I dare to ask General Jiang? I'm afraid even your son-in-law wouldn't dare to inquire about this matter."

  Deng Zisheng continued: "The general is conservative, but it doesn't mean that the people around him are conservative. One person can't convince him, but several people together might be able to make him listen."

  "How many more? Where did so many people come from to speak for this kid? His father and uncle are just a deputy regimental commander and a battalion commander, aren't they? And I haven't heard that anyone in his family is close to General Jiang either?" Zhao Miao Sheng said, even more puzzled, muttering to himself.

  "You think everyone is like you? You have nothing better to do than to use your eldest son-in-law as an example in the countryside. What's more, now that your second daughter has graduated, if you marry her off to someone of an even higher official rank, won't you come running to my face to show off again?" Deng Zhisong said to Zhao Miaosheng, who had always been flying high in Linglong Tower. As for what Zhao Miaosheng did, he had long since heard about it, but since he was short-handed, and every year Zhao Miaosheng was also one of the 24 town mayors who offered the most sacrifices, so he just pretended to know nothing.

  "Then, then, am I supposed to just let this kid surpass me?" Zhao Miao Sheng said with a hint of resentment as he looked at Deng Zhi Sui, "If we let him control the tax collection and police department, that would be a huge loss in our tribute income."

  "That's not possible, I can tell you, don't do anything rash, like organizing a boycott or something to resist this official. This little brat is notorious for being ruthless. Originally in Jianchang City, there was a young man who had been bullied by him when he was in school, and later joined the Yi Army. One night, he brought several soldiers and burned down that young man's house. The incident at Xi Si Liangzi doesn't need me to elaborate, you know what happened. You think your family's thirty or so guards are a match for him? They were all wiped out by his 'Eighteen Brave Warriors'. You'd better calm down." Deng Zhisong looked at Zhao Miaosheng, who still seemed unwilling to give up, and told the story of Liu Mingjiu's past.

  Of course, the matter of burning down someone's house was something that happened before Liu Guangliang had crossed over into this body. But after hearing it from Deng Zhiting's mouth, Zhao Miaosheng was indeed shocked into silence. After saying some unrelated and insipid idle chatter in Deng Zhiting's office, he sulkily returned to the Linglong Tower.

  Just as he left, a person walked out of Deng Zisheng's office suite. It was Sun Congzhou. Actually, the night before Zhao Miaosheng entered the county town, the eight soldiers responsible for monitoring the Zhao family also followed him into the county town. One continued to stare at him, while the other ran to the brigade department and handed over Liu Mingjiu's letter to Sun Congzhou. Liu Mingjiu had long anticipated that Zhao Miaosheng would not give up easily, so he let the person monitoring the Zhao family bring his letter first. After reading Liu Mingjiu's letter, Sun Congzhou immediately went to Deng Zisheng's home, and the two quickly discussed a countermeasure, which is why Deng Zisheng scared off Zhao Miaosheng.

  "I'm telling you, Commander Sun, if we do this and General Liang and the Grand Marshal find out, both of us will be in danger of losing our positions and even our heads! Is that little brat worth it?" Deng Zisheng asked, looking at Sun Congzhou who had just walked out of the inner room with a puzzled expression. Besides their many years of friendship, the most important reason why Deng Zisheng was willing to go along with him was that his eldest son was married to Sun Congzhou's only daughter, making them in-laws, so they naturally shared the same fate.

  "Brother Dayuan, rest assured, I won't misjudge people. That kid's brain is definitely not the same as before when he saved me. Give him some time and a piece of land, and we can consider it a gamble with him. If we win, the 18th Regiment will have a new foundation for troops and supplies in the future. If we lose, I believe we can still keep our lives and at most be transferred to another place or position." Sun Congzhou sat down on the sofa next to him, poured himself a cup of tea, and replied nonchalantly to Deng Zhisheng.

  Deng Zhiyong also sat down beside Sun Congzhou, picked up the cup of tea that Sun had poured for him and took a sip: "But he's just an eighteen-year-old kid, can you be so sure, Brother Tainan, dare to gamble with him like this?"

  "Haha, don't worry about it, his father and uncle all died for me on the battlefield, their sons and nephews have talent, who cares how old they are or what they do?" Sun Congzhou said with a still expressionless face.

  Deng Zhiyong saw that Sun Congzhou was so insistent, and could only take out the attitude of sacrificing his life to accompany a gentleman, and together they gambled on their lives. They no longer mentioned this matter, but instead chatted idly about some trivial matters with Sun Congzhou.

  Zhao Miao Sheng returned home, sat on the kang and was so angry that he kept slapping his thighs and scolding. Deng Zhi Song's play was very realistic, so even Zhao Miao Sheng didn't think that his own backer had already known about his dealings with the bandits and started toying with him. For the next few days, Zhao Miao Sheng was so angry that he closed his doors and refused to see guests, hiding at home and sulking, thinking of a way out. He was absolutely unwilling to be bullied by an 18-year-old kid like this. A few days later, a fast horse galloped out of the Zhao family's house, rushing towards the northeast direction, and the one on the horse was none other than the young master of the Zhao family - Zhao Dong Qu.

  When Zhao's father and son were thinking of a strategy, Liu Mingjiu had already selected a large number of young and strong soldiers from the security team to enter the 8th company, with only five requirements:

  1. Age 17-24 years old, unmarried, no party affiliation;

  2. Having a certain cultural foundation, at least able to recognize characters and write;

  3. Height above 5 feet 1 inch (170CM), strong physique;

  4. Having martial arts skills, certain special talents or being the leader or deputy leader of the security team;

  5. Physical strength meets standards, must complete carrying a load of 50 kilograms and running 10 kilometers within 25 minutes; doing single and double bar exercises more than 200 times each; completing 400 meters obstacle course in less than 1 minute 45 seconds; throwing hand grenades hundreds of times, each time exceeding 50 meters; doing push-ups 100 times in one minute.

  Liu Mingjiu completely followed his own selection criteria for special forces in the next generation, combined with this era to select. Among more than 3,300 people, only 68 new recruits were selected, but these new recruits entered the eighth company and made the whole company even more angry. Then Liu Mingjiu, ten days later, first eliminated all those who were over 30 years old, married, smoked heavily, and could not complete their own basic five physical fitness tests from the remaining 37 people in the eighth company, and sent them to the police station to do police work. Jiang Chunxiao had just been a quartermaster for more than ten days and was still getting used to it when he was suddenly transferred with a single paper order and sent to the police station as a trainee policeman.

  Twenty-one veterans who were eliminated became the first batch of probationary police officers after being reorganized by the police, and each received 300 to 500 Beijing China Bank silver tickets from Liu Mingjiu's collection. Liu Mingjiu spent a total of 8,400 yuan on this alone. Although the old soldiers of the Yi Army were very reluctant to change from regular army to police, they had no complaints after seeing the large amount of silver tickets. In this era, the most that veterans who were eliminated from the army could receive was three to six months' worth of salary, and even the highest-ranking ones would only get 20 to 40 or 50 yuan if they followed normal procedures. Liu Mingjiu gave them ten times that amount and also arranged for their future livelihoods. With a sense of security, they happily reported to Mu De at the police station.

  After the old soldiers of the 8th company were dissolved, Liu Mingjiu formally reorganized the 8th company. Luo Xiliang became the deputy commander, Wu Tongjin became the logistics officer, and the platoon leaders also took their posts. Led by Luo Xiliang, the entire company began to conduct training exercises. This time, the reorganized 8th company started using Liu Mingjiu's training outline based on his previous experience in the military for combat skills training. The requirements were that every special soldier must be proficient in various weapons of their own army and foreign armies, including firearms, hand grenades, and other equipment. Hand-to-hand combat skills had to be exceptional. Every soldier had to adapt to urban warfare, night battles, and be able to search, capture, and escape. Mobility training included riding horses, mules, and donkeys, as well as basic requirements such as troubleshooting, simple veterinary care for the animals, and using various tools. Infiltration skills training included climbing, crossing minefields, map-reading, and long-distance cross-country marching. The entire company had to meet these requirements, with no difference in ability between soldiers and platoon leaders. Reconnaissance and espionage skills training mainly involved observing and hiding, eavesdropping, capturing and interrogating prisoners, and using codes and hand signals for communication when necessary.

  Liu Mingjiu also made specific regulations on the time for training:

  Get up at 5:30 in the morning and run two and a half miles with forty kilograms of weight on each person.

  2: 8:00 Training on hook ladder up and down 300 times. Cross the 30-meter iron wire net back and forth 300 times.

  3: 10:00 Anti-riot physical training: Hold a rifle horizontally, with the muzzle tied to a brick, remaining still for 2 hours.

  4: 14:00 Training target shooting for 1 hour, then practice falling skills "High high back jump 1.5 meters, use back heavily to smash towards the cement ground" Sanda, hard qigong and so on.

  At 5:00, half an hour after dinner, continue running with a load of 20 kg for two and a half miles.

  6: Three times a week swimming training: Wearing thick military uniform and shoes, swim two and a half miles in one breath.

  Day 7: Perform once every 5 days: Run with load for 2 miles, swim for 2 miles; ride horseback at a gallop for 2.5 miles.

  Once every 7 days, conduct a 50km cross-country march with a load of 60 jin.

  12:30 wilderness survival training once a day, bring 3 days of food to survive in the wild for 7 days, march two thousand miles, and carry guns, ammunition and survival supplies on your back. Along the way, you also need to perform breakout, anti-breakout, reconnaissance, cliff climbing and other mission tasks prepared by superiors.
