Tang Dao left home, but did not leave his hometown immediately!

Five people rode war horses and drove straight to the county town along the simple county road!

There, a total of 4,500 people have been gathering since last night. 3,000 soldiers were the supplementary soldiers Fan Shaozeng helped to win for the 22nd Army. 1,500 soldiers were the soldiers of his hometown whom Tang Jili trained carefully for Tang Dao for half a year.

The 22nd Army Army Department sent a call three days ago that Tang Dao, the commander of the Four Army Corps directly under the 22nd Army, will serve as the reception officer and will become the supreme commander of the 4,500 people.

For Tang Dao, no matter which unit he belongs to, these Sichuan troops will rush to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War and become the backbone force of the Anti-Japanese War. As a recruiter, he will definitely attend the New Army's dispatch ceremony.

Moreover, these new recruits not only wanted to leave northern Sichuan and enter Shaanxi Province under his leadership and then cross the Yellow River to enter the Second War Zone, but the nearly 3 million kilograms of grain prepared for him and the ordnance he purchased at the Shancheng Ordnance Station all needed to be transported by people.

The first lesson for the 4,500 people to form an army is to be a good baggage force and deliver this batch of supplies to the war zone intact.

To this end, the Tang family purchased 300 large trucks early and collected nearly 2,000 pack horses in eight counties in western Sichuan. If it weren’t for the grasslands in western Sichuan, there were many families who raised horses, and it would be difficult for other places to have so many horse reserves.

With this capacity, it can only transport one-fifth of this batch of huge materials. Fortunately, there are 4,500 new recruits. Each person has 50 kilograms of weight, and more than 200,000 kilograms of grain can still be carried. Including the consumption of people and horses on the way, those who can be delivered to the front line can also be at least 500,000 kilograms of refined rice.

This has exceeded Tang Dao's expectations, but the first premise is that these recruits must have a high degree of recognition of him as their commander. Otherwise, it would be possible to carry dozens of kilograms a day, but it would be difficult to carry a weight for a month.

They are not the Four-Road Group, and most of them were busy carrying hoes in the fields two months ago.

Jinxi County was originally a small county in western Sichuan with a population of only 100,000. There was not a large enough martial arts venue to accommodate 4,500 recruits. The county government officials were quick to learn that they simply took three days to level a large piece of open space in the farmland outside the low city wall, and then built a platform with wood to build a one-person high.

In this era when everything serves war, especially in Sichuan Province, which has been designated as the most important base in the rear, who does not pay attention to conscription, is probably not only a major event that will lose one's hat but a head-on event.

Especially the nationwide leader of the anti-Japanese heroes came to pick up the troops personally, who dared to be careless?

In order to make the atmosphere more grand, the county even spent money to prepare a gong and drum team and searched for lion-sports artists that the county could find.

Sichuan people love to be lively and send their own soldiers to fight, so it will naturally be more lively!

Since 70% of these 4,500 new recruits were natives from Jinxi, they can be said to be deeply bound to the entire Jinxi County. Not only did the people from the county town and towns around the county town come, but there were even many people coming in the countryside dozens of miles away.

They are all their own babies, and they are about to go to the northern battlefield. How can parents not come? No one knows whether the side they see is the last one.

Although the recruits were large in number, they had at least two months of training, and the instructors led the team. They all stood in a neat queue with their packed quilts and their respective rifles with their heads held high and their chests.

The recruits performed well, but it does not mean that the people will abide by these military regulations. They only know that they have to look at their relatives, even if they have a meeting.

"Heiwa'er, the old man is here, look here!"

"Big pot, big pot, I'll bring you the old corn that my mom baked for you."

"Old man, old man, I'm here!"

Nearly 20,000 Jinxi people surrounded a huge flat ground comparable to a football field. The sounds of shouting at kids and shouting at old men were heard one after another, and the messy sounds were like a large market!

Hearing the familiar and expectant voices of relatives, the recruits could no longer maintain the previous neat queue, and they could not help but turn their heads to look at the place where the sound was made.

If it weren't for the regular security regiment soldiers in the county maintaining order around, the people would probably have rushed through these cordons composed of live-fire soldiers and reunited with their own relatives.

This made the face of the county magistrate who was standing on the wooden platform wearing a long robe and a top hat and dressing up with all his strength.

As a scholar who has been a secretary in the provincial government, this county magistrate had not considered the risk of letting these villagers come to watch the ceremony, but think about it, he still had a fully armed county security team of 1,000 people. Those mud legs usually lowered their heads and didn't even dare to look at each other when they saw the nobles. Seeing that the county magistrate was on the scene and there were so many guns, what other waves could they make?

Then he knew that reality was completely different from what he imagined. His longing for his relatives made those mud legs completely forget their fear of power and guns.

"County magistrate, should you ask your brothers to beat the most fierce mud legs and make them more honest and don't let that Commander Tang make a joke?" The county police chief was the county magistrate's confidant. When he saw the boss's expression, he came over to whisper a suggestion.

"Silly!" The well-dressed county magistrate glared at his subordinates who came over. "There are all those relatives and children standing in the field. If you were them, what would it be like to see your relatives being beaten? The mud legs are messy, and at most they dare to yell, but those big-headed soldiers with guns will kill people if they mess up."

"They dare!" The police chief, who was usually accustomed to being arrogant, answered instinctively, but when he looked at the boss's eyes as if he was thinking about it, his tone became weak again. "Otherwise, the subordinate of the post personally took people to maintain order, and he could not let Deputy Commander Tang's Qilin son watch the jokes of our county government."

Tang Dao's reputation on the battlefield also made the Tang family's status in Jinxi County rise. It was no longer a question of how much wealth the Tang family had, but the Tang family might have a commanding general. This was simply a power ceiling for the small Jinxi County, which made several big men in the county feel proud and inexplicably threatened.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! This is an extremely complex psychology, but it really exists, so the police chief would rather let the pride of heaven than let the pride of heaven walk out of Jin Xi see the jokes of these parents.

This actually has nothing to do with personal character. They are all very typical old bureaucrats who have been seriously eroded by the traditional Chinese official-centered thoughts. They have long been accustomed to looking down at the people and saying that they are evil, rather than saying that they are evil thoughts that have penetrated into the bones of the system.

All beings are equal, and they only exist in a utopia after all!

"No!" The county magistrate who looked at the smoke and dust rising from afar waved his hand gently.

"It is said that the Tang family has a Qilinzi, so let's wait and see how this Qilinzi can solve this messy situation. If he can't even deal with these mud legs, I think he is just a reckless man, and his future achievements will be limited!"

Middle-aged people who have been immersed in politics for nearly twenty years know that martial artists are only popular in wartime, but the war will eventually end one day, and at that time they will return to the situation where the literati rule the world. It is inevitable for every historical dynasty to put the horse in Nanshan and put the knife handle in the sheath.

He asked Tang Jili to be the deputy head of the security regiment to preside over the recruitment and training of the security regiment reserve soldiers. Even Tang Jili invested private funds in Shigu Township to train his soldiers, but he pretended not to see them, but because of the Tang sword who came out of nowhere.

As a parent official in a county, he can take back what he gives at any time, or give more, such as directly letting Tang Jili be the deputy county magistrate, etc.

To put it bluntly, how good Tang Dao's performance will determine his attitude towards the Tang family in the future, and whether he is worthy of his heavy bet on the Tang family.

‘Boom!’ The sound of horse hooves rumbling from afar.

At 8 a.m., Tang Dao led Mingxin and four others to the county town. According to the direction of the security guards guarding the city gate, he rode his horse to the temporary martial arts training ground located in the west of the city for a few minutes.

The late autumn sun is brilliant, but it lacks warm enough. The weeds and leaves along the way are still covered with white frost. Although the war horses that have traveled dozens of miles are strong enough, a lot of white air is sprayed out from their mouths and noses at this time.

The people were just briefly alarmed by the sound of horses running wildly. After a brief calm, they should do whatever they should do!

The number of officials who come to the age of the year has nothing to do with them. What they care most about is their own children.

Tang Dao began to slow down his horse's speed nearly a hundred meters away from the black people. When he reached the periphery, the war horse began to walk slowly.

Many people had water droplets on their heads and faces, and their hair was dew, and their cheeks were naturally tears!

Obviously, in order to bid farewell to relatives, many people arrived at the middle of the night to guard the night.

These are all human nature, but the order is too chaotic.

"What's the situation? Are you going to the big market?" Lu Sanjiang couldn't help but complain on the spot as he looked at the ragged crowds and the messy scenes of shouting.

He has not experienced the scene of recruiting new recruits. When he left home, his parents held his hands and tears in their eyes. The villagers in the village were carrying eggs and steamed white bread to the entrance of the village to send them off.

But that size is only a few dozen people, unlike at this moment, the darkness makes people feel numb to their scalp when they look at it.

The movements made by 20,000 people were even more buzzing. How could the regiment commander give a lecture at the new recruits’ outing ceremony?

"Damn it, someone deliberately made things difficult for the sir!" Long Yan looked at the man who was big and thick and not online from time to time, but the words he said were really hit by the word.

A cold light flashed in Mingxin's lower eyes, who had always been silent,!

The guardians who went down the mountain to kill all the demons never said that there was only the Japanese in this world, and those corrupt officials who poisoned the people were also among them.

Tang Dao's mood was as stable as ever. He rode on the war horse as usual. He looked at the wooden platform dozens of meters away from afar. He looked at the middle-aged man in the robe standing on it, waved his hand to signal the security regiment soldiers responsible for maintaining order to open up a road among the crowd.

"Go aside, get out of here, don't you see a noble person coming?" The police chief, with a somewhat round figure, worked hard to open a passage among the crowd.

When he walked to Tang Dao nearly ten meters in front of him, the breathless police chief smiled: "Captain Tang, you have arrived. You have to add all the recruits on the front line to the place, and you are waiting for your lecture. The people of the whole county want to see the style of the anti-Japanese heroes returning from the front line. There are a lot of people coming, and the countrymen are not polite. This mess makes you laugh."

"As parents, they should send their children to the front line without hesitation to sleep in the open and wind. They love their children deeply. What is the laughable thing about it?" Tang Dao shook his head and replied to the fat police chief who had met once.

A typical hot face was pressed against a cold butt, and the fat police chief's face froze slightly!

It’s not that Tang Dao is not good at being versatile, but at such a time, there is no need!

This group of officials regards the people as grass, and even if it is recruiting troops, it is just a task deployed by the top leaders. However, as officers leading soldiers on the front line, Tang Dao knew that everyone here, or the millions of young people in Sichuan who have left Sichuan with guns in the next few years, will have a family looking forward to their return home.

However, ‘The heroes came out of Sichuan for three million, but who knew that nine out of ten households had no children’!

Even Tang Dao himself didn’t know how many of the 4,500 new recruits standing here could return in the end!

They are far more worthy of Tang Dao's thoughts than the so-called officials.

"Hang the battle flag of death! Come with me to enter the venue!" Tang Dao growled.

"yes!"

Lu Sanjiang leaned over and pulled out his Liaozao cavalry rifle from the side of the war horse. He pressed the spring and the black 38th Army Battalion ejected, then took out a neatly stacked white cloth from the cloth bag on the horse's back, tied it to the bayonet and muzzle, and then raised the cavalry rifle high with both hands.

"Let's go!" As Tang Dao's roared, the rumbling sound of horse hooves rang again.

The fat police chief flashed aside with agility that was extremely mismatched with his figure. His intuition told him that when the flag was hung, any object blocking the horse would be broken by the horse's hooves, including him, the director!

The sudden death of the five soldiers was not required to maintain order at all, and they automatically formed a three-meter-wide channel.

Five people and five horses gradually accelerated between this passage and rushed into the venue.

The iron hooves are flying, the battle flags are flying, and the people located near the passage are silent first!

Any collective behavior is contagious. As the people in a region suddenly fall silent, the people who are separated will subconsciously lighten the voice until silent.

What's more, the flag raised by the five soldiers riding a war horse and entering the venue at high speed makes it difficult not to tremble!

Because, in addition to a few small lines of characters on the white cloth-based flag, the most eye-catching one is the huge word "death"!

This is so heart-stirring that you will be worried about the most!

The recruits were naturally the first to restore order, not because of the black-lined flag on white background that they couldn't see clearly, but the two and three stars that shone brightly on the seal!

That means that the powerful general who came to pick them up to the front line had arrived. He was an anti-Japanese hero who killed more than 20,000 enemies. Who dared to make a rash in front of him?

Even the most exhausted person on weekdays, he was imitating his companions, straightening his waist and chest high. Many people even stopped breathing at that moment, for fear of being caught as a typical person.

Commander Tang even killed the fierce Japanese like a chicken, let alone the nameless rural villager like them.

Five war horses ran around the 4,500 people in the field for a week. They did not gradually slow down until they arrived at the wooden platform dozens of meters before they gradually stopped in front of the wooden platform.

"Salute to the commander!" As the heart-wrenching roar of a major battalion commander of the security regiment led the team, the recruits saluted to the five officers and soldiers of the Four-Royal Regiment sitting on the war horse in a not particularly regular posture and in a uniform manner.

"Return the gift!" Tang Dao took the lead in raising his right hand, and the other four people led by Lu Sanjiang raised their right hand immediately.

This time, it was a verdict of the highest and lowest point. The four of them were as one, and their body posture and the time point when they raised their right hand to the edge of their eyebrows were perfectly impeccable!
