More than a dozen war horses roared to the Ming prisoner of war camp on the bank of the Yellow River, and Ma Qing, Wang Bo and others jumped off their horses one after another. Ma Qing was immediately angry when he saw the commotion in the prisoner camp.

With a wave of his hand, he called the battalion commander on duty nearby, and said in a deep voice: "Why is it so messy here, it's all messy." ”

The battalion commander was so red from the training that he could only weakly explain: "We only have one battalion and two brigades of militia, and since last night, we have successively sent a large number of Ming prisoners and military households in Ningxia Town, and we have limited manpower......

Ma Qing glared at him, and then said in a deep voice, "Go...... Quickly arrange for people to gather the prisoners and military households of the Ming army in the camp, reorganize them according to the establishment of squadrons and brigades, and let the captains at all levels choose by themselves. ”

"Yes......"

The battalion commander heard Ma Qing's order, hurriedly stood upright, and then loudly beckoned the troops to enter the prisoner camp. After being reprimanded by Ma Qing, the battalion commander was of course in a bad mood, and the entire prisoner camp was suddenly full of chickens and dogs.

After more than an hour, order in the prisoner camp was finally restored, after all, they were all from military backgrounds, and although they did not have the quality of the Far Eastern Army, they could still do the basic formation. More than 20,000 military prisoners and military households formed a queue.

Ma Qing turned to Wang Bo and said, "Old Wang, we are very short of time, and we must not delay." I don't know much about the border army of the Ming Dynasty, so I still have to listen to your opinions on how to do it. ”

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Chief, I am from the border army, and I know these border troops very well. They are not ordinary military households, they are all veterans who have been mixed with the Ming border for many years, if you come up and do ideological work with them, the effect will definitely not be good. They are all thieves and thieves, and their hearts are like mirrors, and you can't fool them.

I mean. The hammer and I led the men down first. We can talk about going together, and they know they can't fool us. You can't play with these veterans, you have to let them see the real benefits, and then talk about other things. After all, we, the old guys in Dongjiang Town, are all famous in the Far East, if they are not stupid. I definitely know what to do in the future. ”

Ma Qing said with a smile: "You are really right, I have been a political cadre for so many years, and the work of the overseas corps is not easy to carry out. ”

Wang Bo smiled bitterly and said, "Chief." These guys have been eating food at the border since they were children, and the salary is already low, but there are still layers of greed for ink, and it is good to have sixty percent of the food in hand, and they have to feed a large family, and they are living a miserable life. They are all miserable people, too. Speaking of which, they were all forced by this world, and they have been mixed in the border army for a few years, and they are honest men. They all have to be turned into hob meat and soldier oil. ”

Ma Qing nodded and said, "Then according to your meaning, you and Hammer will go down and communicate with them first." There has been a lot of work in the Hetao base area in recent years. We don't want to be dragged away by some bad things, so we just need the people who really follow us, and we have to screen out those miscellaneous ruffians and ruffians, so as to save any moths from the Hetao base area. ”

After Wang Bo accepted the order, he used the radio to transfer Zhang Tiezhu and dozens of veterans of overseas regiments to the Ming army prisoner camp. Most of these people are veterans of Dongjiang Town and Liao Town, and they are also veterans of the Far East Overseas Brigade. Served in the army in the Far East for many years. Although there is still some ruffian atmosphere on his body, the strict military discipline and good welfare of the Far Eastern Army have also made these ruffians reborn one by one, and they also have the temperament of some iron-blooded soldiers.

The people who followed Li Ming to Daming this time. They are all the elite backbone of all units of the Overseas Legion. In particular, Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer, who came to the Hetao base area, were just in time to form the Northwest Field Army in the base area, and Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer turned themselves from a second-line overseas group army unit to a first-line field force.

So these guys are now working very hard, doing everything very seriously, after so many years in the Far East, they all know in their hearts that the Far East is not a place to mess around, and if they want to mix like a man, they must show real results.

Zhang Tiehammer tidied up the queue, Wang Bo walked in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "The brothers are here, haha...... Without further ado, let me first tell you about the task assigned to us by the political commissar this time, that is, to do a good job in the work of these Ningxia border troops in the prisoner camp within a few days.

The Hetao base area has just been established, and we have a lot of work and limited strength, so we only need to really think of the people in our Hetao base area, and we will not force those who are unwilling to go to the Hetao. We only have a few days, the time is very tight, the task is very heavy, we must do our best to win more people to return to the Hetao with us, and screen out the miscellaneous ruffians and black sheep in the team. ”

They entered the prisoner camp, and the ranks were disbanded. They came to the queue of Ming prisoners in the camp and communicated with these Ming prisoners. Because they all have the experience of eating food in the Ming army, they only said a few words, and they got acquainted with a group of veterans.

Wang Bo also came to the front of a group of Ming army prisoners, and said loudly: "I have long heard that the army in the northwest is fierce, and it has been fighting the border for a hundred years, resisting hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen in the north, and trying to ensure the safety of the side of Shanxi and Shaanxi. Ningxia Town is the first to bear the brunt, I don't know how many old brothers have buried their bones in the border for so many years, and it makes me panic when I think about it.

The brothers also used to eat food in the border army, and they ate under the tent of Mao Shuai in Liao Town and Dongjiang Town, and they also really saw the battle with Dongyu. Lao Tzu had a big life, and he crawled out of the pile of dead people several times, which can be regarded as picking up a life. When I saw you today, I felt like I was seeing my loved ones.

This is really not Lao Tzu's hypocrisy, it is not easy for brothers who have eaten food in the border army, Lao Tzu looks at these rotten jackets on your body, and he can't bear it in his heart, the brothers of the border army don't want to die, and they have to feed a large family, but look at what kind of life everyone is doing. can't eat enough, can't dress warmly, and the mother-in-law and children at home also suffer, but his mother still has to be exploited by those officials.

Lao Tzu was also angry back then, so he left the border army. I can't say anything good with Da Ming, and I have to be in front of my brothers when it's critical, hungry and desperate with Tartars, what kind of reason is this. Don't look at Lao Tzu like that now, when I was in Dongjiang, my brothers and everyone were like bears, and no one laughed at anyone, haha......" (To be continued.) )
