Chapter 684: Shanxi Guerrilla Detachment

Wang He also sighed: "If this plan is implemented, then the time for us to enter the Ming Dynasty will be greatly advanced." And the resources consumed will be greatly reduced. The company's annual immigration from Daming alone has almost swallowed up most of the company's financial income, and with the increase of immigrants year by year, the company's financial pressure will become more and more great.

In fact, the cost of our immigration is too high, in order to prepare for the company's entry into Daming in the future, the company can only quickly transform immigrants from Daming in the form of winter training, and train a large number of grassroots cadres. But this is an extremely long process and requires a huge amount of materials. If it is implemented according to your plan, the company will save a lot of material and human resources. ”

Several other members of the Standing Committee also supported this plan. Next, everyone also had a lively discussion on this plan, and supplemented and improved the deficiencies in it.

But when it came to the issue of sending that force to Daming, everyone had a disagreement. Gao Jianguo advocated the transfer of key non-commissioned officers and company-platoon-level cadres from overseas brigades, while others hoped to transfer personnel from field divisions.

Everyone is worried that the officers and men of the overseas brigade are all composed of former Ming officers and soldiers, and although their performance in the Far East Company is acceptable, they independently command the exile army in the Ming Dynasty, and if they are left to their own devices, once they cannot control it, some problems may arise.

However, Gao Jianguo's opinion also has a certain degree of truth, although the officers and men of the field division are strictly disciplined. From the day they were recruited, they were nurtured in the strictly disciplined forces, and after a long period of discipline, their gestures were filled with the iron-blooded temperament of soldiers. The officers and men of the field division who grew up in such an environment were simply unable to control a group of displaced people who were struggling on the death line, they had long lost the so-called good thoughts in their hearts, and they could do anything in order to survive.

Escaped all the way from his hometown. Seeing their families die in front of them one by one, these displaced people who survived by luck are unscrupulous in order to survive, even if they are honest and simple farmers, there is a burning of resentment in their hearts, even if someone is slightly inciting. It will turn into a very violent mood and burst out.

This is also the fact that most of the outcasts are like bandits, walking all the way through the border like locusts, only knowing how to destroy and kill, and unscrupulously venting the resentment suppressed in their hearts. I can't believe it, they used to be just a bunch of honest farmers.

After some fierce debate, in the end, everyone still chose the cadres and non-commissioned officers of the overseas corps as the basic backbone of the displaced people's army. The political workers came from the field division and the garrison division.

Li Ming and Zhou Billy hope to start building up the ranks of the Displaced People's Army this year, and then build on this force to slowly grow and develop. Finally, more troops of the displaced people will be formed. Let these exile armies become the armed forces of the Far East in the Ming Dynasty and fight for the interests of the Far East.

Other members of the Standing Committee of the Far East Board of Directors are also quite supportive of the formation of this contingent of displaced people's troops, after all, the company will develop the Hetao base area next year, and if there is such an armed force, it will be of great help to the Hetao base area in the future. At least when dealing with a few Shanxi traitors and Jin merchants, you can use this army of exiles to sweep Jinzhong.

It was decided to convene all members of the Board Committee immediately. Decide on the plan, if it is voted on. The company will immediately start preparations and strive to pull up the team before this winter.

After all, it will take a certain amount of time to integrate the ranks of the Wandering People's Army, and before the establishment of the Hetao Base Area next year, this Drifting People's Army must form combat effectiveness. And now Li Ming and Song Tao are in Shanxi, just taking advantage of this opportunity to pull the team up.

With the arrival of the members of the Board of Directors. Gao Jianguo also presided over the meeting, and Zhou Billy gave a detailed account of the plan to the committee members attending the meeting.

As a result, Billy Zhou's statement was not over, and all the committee members had already expressed their support. When the final resolution was voted on, it was unanimously passed. Moreover, the committee members who did not support the current development of the Hetao base area are now interested in the Hetao base area.

The meeting of the Board Committee has just ended. Gao Jianguo convened a meeting of the responsible persons of various departments of the Central Military Commission to make arrangements for the next tasks. It was decided to set up the Shanxi Travelogue Detachment and to establish the candidates for the backbone cadres at all levels of the guerrilla detachment.

As the communications radio station of the Central Military Commission sent telegrams to all units, the cadres and soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who received the order one after another packed their bags and were sent by airships to the waters near the mouth of the Yellow River Yunti Pass, and then boarded a sailboat and rushed all the way along the Yellow River to the Luoyang Central Plains Intelligence Station.

Just when the troops of the Far East Military Commission were dispatching troops one after another, Li Ming and Zhou Billy took the airship in Shenyang and returned all the way back to Hukou Longwangyuan. It would take some time for the various departments of the Central Military Commission to transfer personnel and materials, so Li Ming decided to continue to the north to conduct an on-the-spot investigation of the situation in the Yellow River waterway north of Hukou.

The two river engine sailing boats went all the way north through Wubao, Benzhou, Baode and other places before turning around and heading south. After studying, Li Ming and Zhou Billy decided to let the officers and soldiers drawn from various places by the Central Military Commission join them in Puzhou. Then Li Ming and Song Tao will disguise themselves as caravans and follow the Daming official road and go to the Jinzhong Basin by land.

Jinzhong Basin is located in the central part of Shanxi Province, also known as "Taiyuan Basin", east of Taihang Mountain, west of Luliang Mountain, north from Huangzhai Shiling Pass, south to Jiexiu Mianshan Town, east and west sides of fault cliffs and mountains. It is the main densely populated area of Shanxi Province, with fertile land and superior irrigation conditions, and is an important grain producing area in Shanxi Province, as well as the hometown of Jin merchants, as well as the production area of Shanxi old vinegar and Xinghua Village Fenjiu.

The homes of the eight traitors and Jin merchants are located here in Yuci, Taigu, Jiexiu, Xiaoyi and other places. Li Ming's mission to the Jinzhong Plain this time was to find out the nearby terrain and conduct a field investigation there. After all, there is a big difference between the map of modern society and this era, and if he and Song Tao don't take a look, they are really not at ease.

Zhou Billy led the personnel of the Intelligence Department to take two river engine sailboats and go north along the Fenshui River to the Jinzhong Plain.

With a total length of 716 kilometers and a basin area of about 39,000 square kilometers, Fenshui is the second largest tributary of the Yellow River in China. It originates from the foothills of Ningwu Guanshui Mountain in Shanxi Province, runs through the north and south of Shanxi Province, flows through Jingle County, Gujiao City, Taiyuan City, Qingxu County, Qi County, Jiexiu City, Huozhou City, Hongdong County, Linfen City, Houma City, and joins the Yellow River near Hejin.

In the coming year, the Shanxi guerrilla detachment in the Far East will take Luliang Mountain in the western part of the Jinzhong Plain as its base in the early stage of construction, and will rush out of Luliang Mountain at any time in the future and enter the Jinzhong Basin to sweep away those traitors and Jin merchants.
