When the Zhejiang-Feng War began in October, Zhao Zhenzhong only ordered several companies to strengthen their vigilance and sent merchant regiments and guard soldiers from their hometowns nearby to sneak back to their hometown. While collecting various information, they jointly sent small groups of troops to take in orphans and other reliable teenagers under the age of 16.

Zhao Zhenzhong has always taken in qualified children. It is not that he does not understand that cultivating these children requires a lot of time, energy and material resources, but Zhao Zhenzhong has his own intention. First, young and middle-aged people are different from orphans of minors. They basically have their own means of making a living, so Zhao Zhenzhong does not need to worry much; second, young and middle-aged people are adults, most of them have already started a family or want to start a family, including the private interests of their individuals and their families, and their own desires are different, and they are full of people and their eyes are very likely to be

It causes damage to what Zhao Zhenzhong and others do; thirdly, the minds of young and middle-aged people are much more complicated than those of young and young children, and it is basically impossible for them to listen to the words of a child in his appearance in his 10s, just like a middle school student in his 10s who cannot lead a group of college graduates and master's graduates in his later generations; fourthly, young and middle-aged people are already past the best age for reading and literacy, and asking them to use their calloused hands to get a pen to learn culture, that would be a painful thing for both teaching and learning.

In addition to these reasons that can be put on the surface, Zhao Zhenzhong has other considerations. Zhao Zhenzhong knew that if he wanted to break an old order, he would definitely have to unite the forces that were deeply harmed by the old order and hate the old order deeply, and organize these forces to lead them to fight hard and overthrow the old order.

According to Zhao Zhenzhong's situation, it is difficult for adult young men to believe that they are a teenager in their 10s. Taking in and raising many orphans is undoubtedly the best choice to teach children when they are most malleable. These teenagers who have lost their homes and relatives are full of deep hatred for the people and forces that have taken away everything from their hearts, and their intake, rescue and teaching of Zhao Zhenzhong and others is even more grateful to them. Education must start from the children, and revolutionary education that overthrows the old order must start from the children, and this will surely achieve better results.

It is precisely for various reasons that Zhao Zhenzhong purposefully took in orphans of different ages. On the one hand, he carried out military training for older people and expanded them to several teams to strengthen the armed forces while cultivating military command talents; on the other hand, he was a teenager in the teaching age stage systematically learned cultural knowledge in order to cultivate the talents needed for various future construction.

Before the end of the Zhejiang-Feng War, by the end of October, Jiang Yishan and several other companies had taken in more than 12,000 children from Linqu, Yishui, Mengyin, Xintai, Laiwu and other places in more than 20 days. However, Zhang Mingrui's training camp cannot accommodate so many people at present, and many of these people are less than 10 years old, so they are not suitable for military training at all. After selection, Zhao Zhenzhong left about 5,000 years old.

The teenagers between the ages of 15 and 18 entered the training camp to settle down. At the same time, they sent Jiang Yishan's company and two platoons temporarily drawn from the training camp to escort young men and girls over 7,000 to the Dazhushan base in batches at night, and arranged for them to learn culture in the base. Of course, Zhao Zhenzhong had a lot of thought to find a teacher who taught Qi, who had more than 7,000 people in cultural knowledge, and to build a school house that accommodates so many people.

By the beginning of winter in November, the stations of each company had been basically completed and the training camps were put into use. Zhang Mingrui received more than 6,000 trainees before and after the training camp, far exceeding the original 4,000 people. In the past month, the Dazhushan Base not only took in more than 13,000 children under the age of 14, but also accepted 2,400 years of recruit training from Zhao Zhenzhong to escort.

In addition to the matter of taking in orphans and training recruits in a tense and orderly manner, more than 50 working groups composed of five companies of the Guards and 153 people selected from the business regiment were dispatched in more than a month. In the activity area of ​​Zhao Zhenzhong and others, there were already 218 villages of all sizes and more than 31,700 people rescued. Because the work group was led back to their hometown to carry out work through the Guards and Business regiment personnel, everything has been going well so far, and the Guards have also begun to gradually be recognized by the people near the garrison. 218

The people in the village have begun to organize a series of activities such as water conservancy construction, road renovation, environmental sanitation under the leadership of the working group, and have begun to develop and cultivate backbone forces in each village to make relevant preparations for further deepening work in the future. After more than a month of practical activities, the members of each working group also deeply understood the concept and requirements of "fighting team, working team, and propaganda team" proposed by Zhao Zhenzhong, and trained backbone forces for the smooth development of relevant people's assistance, mobilization, and organization in the future.

According to the progress of the work of the working group, Zhao Zhenzhong estimated that he would not be able to initially organize the people in the current activity area until early summer next year. To turn the 2,000 square kilometers of activity area into a thorough control area, it would have to wait until next autumn.

Regarding the Zhejiang-Feng War from October to November, since it was not a war on the ground in Shandong, Zhao Zhenzhong only asked the companies to increase their vigilance to prevent the defeated troops from mingling into their own activity areas, and did not make corresponding combat arrangements. However, when the Shandong-Yu War that began in mid-November began, Zhao Zhenzhong became serious.

According to the news that the newly formed reconnaissance communications team and the two companies on the Western Front Zou Degui and Xu Chaoyuan came back, Zhao Zhenzhong made re-adjustment and deployment of the troops.

At this time, the three-month selection training on Nanyao Island had ended, and more than 600 training personnel finally reached the standard of 510. Zhao Zhenzhong drew some backbone forces from several companies of the original business troupe. In addition, half of the company led by Ma Renming and Wu Mingshan on Nanyao Island, he formed a total of 600 business troupe companies. As for the more than 30 people, they were added to the still vacant company Ding Yicheng, making the company full.

More than 200 people who originally trained in the Dazhushan base not only initially met the requirements of the Rangers, but also basically completed artillery operation training. In addition to Gu Haichuan's defense company, the defense force in the entire base reached more than 340 people. However, since nearly 8,000 school-age children, more than 5,000 children under school age, and more than 2,400 trainees were added to the base, the staff in the base are now very tight. In addition to the transfer of 30 people including Yang Tianming and formed a reconnaissance communication team, it is impossible to have the strength to replenish Zhao Zhenzhong in a short time.

Based on the current distribution of troops, Zhao Zhenzhong made corresponding adjustments and deployments:

Ding Yicheng's company stationed in the cement plant was transferred to Zhang Gong, the coal mine in Lu Village;

The Jiang Yishan Company in Ji Wanggu area was transferred to the western front and deployed defenses in the middle of the two companies Zou Degui and Xu Chaoyuan;

Du Yishan in Jiushan area was drawn 60 people in a row, and Liu Jifeng in Hanwang area was drawn 60 people in a row to form a reserve team;

The forces from Zhang Mingrui's training camp were drawn out to temporarily enter Ji Wanggu, Jiushan, and Han Wang for training, and the vacancies in the forces of Jiang Yishan, Du Yishan and Liu Jifeng were transferred all or most of them.

After the adjustment and deployment of troops were completed, Zhao Zhenzhong also brought Yang Tianming's reconnaissance communication team and reserve team to Xinzhuang.

As for the more than 150 working groups composed of business groups, Zhao Zhenzhong did not use them after consideration, but asked them to continue to organize people to use the autumn and winter seasons to carry out farmland water conservancy construction in the activity area.

In this way, there were three escort companies with one platoon and one and a half merchant regiment company on the Western Front. With the reconnaissance and communication team and reserve team led by Yang Tianming, the total force was more than 600. With the hard training in the past, the powerful firepower and geographical advantages of the equipment, and some arrangements, it should be no problem to attack one or two regiments.

"Sir, the army coming from Henan is fighting with Zhang Zongchang from Jinan near Tai'an. We have all drawn all the backbone forces here. What if they don't come or there are too many people?" Jiang Yishan has been in the southeast of the activity area. He is not sure about the beastly behavior of the defeated soldiers, and is a little worried about the safety of the activity area. Although Zhao Zhenzhong drew troops from Zhang Mingrui's training camp to supplement it, except for a few responsible guards, the others were all teenagers who had been trained for more than a month, and now they are not even new recruits.

"After the bandits in the Yimeng Mountains took action more than a month ago, there were basically only some fish left that were missing, so there was no need to worry too much. But the west side must be more vigilant." Zhao Zhenzhong looked at Jiang Yishan, Zou Degui, Zhang Gongyuan, Xu Chaoyuan, Yang Tianming and others who were summoned in the house, and explained: "The troops from Henan are fighting fiercely in Tai'an and Zhang Zongchang, but Zhang Zongchang has arranged heavy troops in Tai'an, and the armored train troops may be transferred through the railway to participate in the war at any time. The Henan army is afraid that it will be difficult for them to break through Zhang Zongchang's Tai'an defense line. It is impossible for them to send a large number of troops to our area that is not related to the war."

"After the Zhejiang-Feng War between Sun Chuanfang some time ago, Zhang Zongchang's troops were dispersed a lot, and now the total force is less than 80,000. More than 40,000 troops were arranged in Tai'an, Jieshou, Feicheng, and the front line of Feicheng. In addition to the guarding forces in some other places, only Zhang Zongchang's small garrison troops with weak combat power were left in Jinan City, with a maximum of only about 10,000 people. If the Henan army took another approach and bypassed the Tai'an defense line and took Jinan directly, what would happen?"

After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong's question, the few people were stunned and hurriedly gathered near the sand table in the house to check it out.

"The distance between Jinan and Tai'an is about 80 kilometers. If you go by, it will be farther, and it will take at least one day and night to march. If you bypass the Tai'an defense line, there is a plain area to the west, close to the Grand Canal and the Yellow River. It is densely populated and it is difficult to march hidden within a day and night. If you use mountain roads from the mountains east of Mount Tai, you will be able to extend the march time because of the difficulty of mountain roads, but you can use the sparsely populated mountains to conceal their combat intentions."
