Du Chenyu re-planned the guard team, women's escort team, reconnaissance team, and artillery in Baizhang. These were directly affiliated forces, so almost all of them were arranged by Du Chenyu himself.

Li Haoran, captain of the guard team, Lei Jianqin was assigned as battalion commander, Luo Feng, captain of the special service team, He Chaowu was sent to the field army, the reconnaissance team was reorganized into a direct cavalry battalion, and Sister Wan'er's women's guard team was officially formed and began to perform guard missions, establishing artillery companies and fire assault companies.

These command headquarters' directly affiliated forces will be established first, with personnel recommended from all over the country. The guard team will still perform the duties of the teaching team. As for the General Staff, Du Chenyu asked Wang Shou to temporarily serve as the acting chief of staff to prepare for its establishment. Other matters will be prepared after the congress.

Everything was arranged and Du Chenyu returned to Linshui in early April.

Since he did not go home for the Chinese New Year last year, Du Chenyu, with a group of more than 30 guards and female escorts, rode horses all the way up along the Donghe River. The entire road has been widened over the years and the horse path is more than one meter wide, which is basically wide enough for horses to gallop. There are post stations and carriages along the way, so Du Chenyu can use the carriage to travel on most flat roads at a faster speed.

We came to Jingu Rock of Lianghui Temple. It used to be a steep cliff. After all-out efforts and spending a lot of explosives, after two years of blasting, it is now passable by leading horses, and no longer requires a ferry, which greatly improves the speed of travel. We arrived at Wuyin Fort in the evening. After four years of development, Wuyin has built a new street across the river. The fort office, school and hospital are all on the new street. The population of the block exceeds 1000 people, and many new houses have been built. The barren hills on both sides of the river have all been reclaimed to grow food. Everywhere is a new and prosperous life.

It is currently the busy time for spring plowing. The hills and valleys are shrouded in smoke and people are swaying around. People are busy in the fields. Du Chenyu is now pursuing early plowing and early planting because water and drought disasters are frequent in autumn, and they try to avoid the impact of the "summer drought".

"Sir, thank you for your hard work on the journey." The current head of Wuyin is Shi Huaian, a native of Xiguanbao. He is a steady person. He used to be in charge of Xiguan affairs and now he is in charge of Wuyin. When he heard that Du Chenyu had returned, he hurried out to wait. Since Du Chenyu never announced his itinerary to the public, he only notified the local authorities when they arrived at the street corner.

"Uncle Shi, you've been busy all day. You should rest in the Wuyin base tonight. Tomorrow morning you will give a brief report on the current situation in the fort."

Du Chenyu was a little tired after a day of running around, so he prepared to take a rest in the original house. Wuyin was where he had lived the longest. The base was still the base of the Gelaohui. After being robbed, it had been used as a place to live. However, the house had been repaired and was more solid. Du Chenyu went into the house, washed up, and then lay down to rest. Shi Huaian went to prepare dinner and arranged tomorrow's work.

After dinner, Du Chenyu lay down on the bed and began to rest.

The next morning, Du Chenyu got up in high spirits. He called all the main responsible persons together, listened to their reports, and arranged the next step of work. Afterwards, Du Chenyu led everyone to inspect the farmland and the market. The overall situation was stable, but the Red Lantern Cult was spreading again in the territory, which sounded the alarm for Du Chenyu. The Red Lantern Cult had a solid foundation in northern Sichuan, there were many followers, and the spread was very secretive, so it was very difficult to eradicate it.

It was already afternoon when they finished dealing with the affairs in Wuyin area. The sun was shining on both sides of the Dong River. Along the newly revised horse trail by the river, the group continued to move upstream towards Linshui, raising layers of dust. Some newly built thatched houses and small shops were added to both sides of the avenue. There were also many porters traveling on Migang Avenue, but when they saw Du Chenyu and his group riding horses, they hid by the roadside early and gave way to the main road, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
