I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

The next day, Hu Laosi sent the prisoners to Banqiao and hid them, and the wounded were still placed in Wuying for treatment. Taking advantage of this period of recuperation, he used the guns he had snatched back to form a 20-man reconnaissance team. The personnel were selected from the reserve team and the formal elite, with Luo Feng (formerly the deputy captain of the special service team) as the team leader. The Wuying base was maintained at more than 60 people, and the Ma Liushu guard had 30 people. The reserve teams from other nearby guards were moved down, and the people were organized to start building a horse trail from Wuying to Lianghui. In this way, the road from Lianghui to Wuying was temporarily blocked. If the road was not smooth, it could also delay the county's large-scale troop dispatch.

It was not until the third day that the county sent someone to Wuying to check on the attack on the soldiers stationed at Lianghui Temple. The person who came was a deputy captain of the joint defense brigade named Zhou. Teacher Yang Chaoyi also came. After receiving the news, they actively prepared. On the fourth day, they rushed to Wuying with more than 20 people. Teacher Yang Chaoyi, as the county education section chief and vice chairman of the council, was one level higher than the deputy captain of the joint defense brigade, so he walked in front. He was a slightly thin old man, wearing a blue cloth gown, a cotton jacket, and cloth shoes. He was about 1.65 meters tall, with sparse hair at the back, a high nose bridge, and high cheekbones. He was about 50 years old. He was riding on a yellow horse with the reins in his hand. His father was helping to lead the horse. Everyone else walked.

When my father heard the news, he took 10 people to Lianghuibao in the morning to meet Teacher Yang. The main purpose was to protect their safety. In fact, many people knew that the flag bearer of their county was Yang Chaoyi. If he was killed by the enemy, they would be in a passive position. Therefore, their people were stationed throughout the route to ensure safety throughout the journey.

They checked in Lianghui for two days before arriving at Wuying. In order to cope with the inspection this time, the team that appeared in public was dressed in rags and standing guard with shotguns, and many of them did not even have guns. At noon, he was held in his mother's arms and watched them on the roadside.

"Dad, you're back," Du Chenyu called his father from more than 10 meters away.

"Teacher, this is my wife and son," the father said as he walked closer and pointed at the mother and son.

"I often hear that you have a child prodigy son. He is indeed very smart. Haha... you are blessed," said Teacher Yang with a smile.

"This is Teacher Yang," his father said to him and his mother.

"Hello, teacher", "Hello, Grandpa Yang", my mother and he both greeted them.

"Good, good boy, so strong," said Teacher Yang, touching his head.

"Let's go to the township office first and then come back to reminisce in the evening," Yang Chaoyi tilted his head and whispered to his father.

They continued to move forward. They were still watching from the roadside. Not far away, Village Chief Wu, Group Leader Zhao, and Deputy Group Leader Yu were all rushing here.

Deputy Commander Zhou kept looking around, frowning at the fortifications of their base. He also glanced at the fenced training base.

It seems that an expert knows the tricks, and Captain Zhou is suspicious. They have been killing and setting fires in Beishan in recent years, and they can't be suppressed. Many people in the county have heard about it. If it weren't for Dayang's paving the way, they would have sent troops to wipe them out long ago. As long as he can develop steadily for a year, he will no longer be afraid of the small number of troops in the county. To encircle him in the mountains, at least 500 people are needed. At least Baizhang doesn't have the strength to send a 500-man mobile team.

He Cunyi would report back news of their meetings and discussions at any time. On the surface, everyone was saying that the Red Lantern Cult from Liziba had attacked the garrison at Lianghui Temple. Of course, there was also a lot of news in private that was very unfavorable to them, with rumors saying that it was they who attacked the garrison.

When Du Chenyu heard the news, he immediately issued an order to all places, stating that anyone who took the opportunity to spread rumors and news that was unfavorable to them would be arrested for disturbing public order. If the case was beyond the jurisdiction, extraordinary measures would be taken, and the special service and reconnaissance teams would be dispatched to deal with it, and all news that was unfavorable to them would be resolutely blocked.

At 4 p.m., He Cunyi led the way and his father accompanied Yang Chaoyi to visit their base. "Hello, Grandpa Yang, please come in and sit down," he greeted them at the door.

"My dear grandson, come here and let grandpa hug me. People say that you are the reincarnation of Nezha. I want to hug our Nezha too," he said and picked him up.

"Grandpa, who is Nezha?" He touched the sheepskin hat on Master Yang's head. It was cold in the mountains, so his father bought it for him on the street.

"Nezha is a god who can do anything, flying into the sky and into the sea. My dear grandson, why don't you come to see your grandfather when you come to my place?" he carried him into the gate of the base.

"Grandpa, let's avoid suspicion. The struggle is so fierce that I have to be careful," he said.

"Indeed, all major forces in the township, county and province are fighting fiercely for territory and tax revenue. There is no place in Sichuan that is so big without the sound of gunfire." He also stopped smiling and started to look serious.

"Grandpa, let's go to the base and take a look," he said.

"Okay, let's go," he continued carrying her as they walked into the base gate.

As soon as the gate was opened, there were three teams of 3 people inside, doing silent training, one group doing obstacle climbing, one group doing bayonet fighting, and one group doing physical training.

"Report, President, the guard team is in training, please give instructions," He Chaowu ran over, saluted, and reported neatly, a standard soldier image.

"Keep training," the father replied.

"Yes," He Chaowu left.

"Although I have seen them train at the Baizhang base, the feeling is different every time. Looking at this group of kids, most of whom are no older than 20 years old and are full of morale, this is the reason why an old man like me dares to go crazy with you young people," teacher Yang Chaoyi sighed.

"A group of vigorous young men, with the light of hope in their eyes. Their training is full of vitality. I have lived for 50 years. I have seen Green Camp officers and soldiers, Manchu cavalry, militia, White Lotus Sect, Red Lantern Sect, no matter they are officers and soldiers or rebel teams, I have never seen a team with such livelihood and hope. Of course, this is why an old man like me is willing to accompany you kids to take risks and do things that will cost you your life," Teacher Yang Chaoyi held me and pointed to the team on the training ground below and continued.

"Grandpa, you have to believe in us. In this era, only by leaving others with no way to go can we have our own way to go. Only by allowing the people to survive can we gain the support of the vast majority of the people. All these hopes are our people's hope to survive," he said, looking at Yang.

"Haha, little brat, I'm going to step away from you. You are also our greatest hope. I know we can't achieve all this today without you. Although your father is also a smart boy, he would never dare to do anything that would cost him his head. Only you, the son of the unicorn, little Nezha, is fearless and can lead your father to do something earth-shaking," Yang said with a smile, touching his head.

"Teacher, let's go this way," my father asked Teacher Yang Chaoyi to continue walking in order to change the subject. It was indeed inappropriate to discuss rebellion in public, so my father was consciously avoiding other people.

They looked around the venue. He Chaowu was instructing the bayonet fighting. "Hey... Hey... Kill... Kill..." Every move of the sword was so powerful that there was a sound of breaking through the air. His requirements for bayonet fighting were "stab fast" and stab out with thunderous force; "pick skillfully", use skillful force to pick up the bayonet and attack weak points; "block and attack", think about attacking every time you block. In recent years, under the martial arts guidance of He Chaowu, the overall fighting ability of the team has improved a lot, but the gap with the regular army is still not small. Therefore, they have never underestimated themselves. Every battle is won by numbers, and there has never been a battle where the few win the many.

After visiting the training ground, we came to the school. There are more than 100 students in the ordinary primary school. They are divided into enlightenment classes, children's classes, and junior classes. They mainly study Chinese and arithmetic, and also participate in physical training. Currently, they are all enrolled for free and take care of themselves. Outstanding students will receive subsidies.

Then there are 25 civil and military students, all of whom were recruited through examinations and receive resettlement allowances. The older students from the first batch graduated this year and most of them are currently training in the guard corps.

Their learning level is almost the same as that of primary school. The arithmetic teachers are hired from the county at high prices, the Chinese teachers are all locals, and the military courses are taught by the base instructors and the team leaders and squad leaders in turn.

The military subjects include infantry, cavalry, firearms, engineering, and special warfare. All subjects take a long time to complete, at least two years. Of course, most students only choose two or so subjects as their main subjects.

They walked to the door of the classroom, where they were having a military theory class. They were learning how to train the Qi Family Army under Qi Jiguang, the origin of the "wolf whip", and how to defeat the enemy by timely improving their own equipment according to the changes and advantages of enemy weapons. The military is ever-changing, and "the art of war is the art of deception", which is the basis of using troops. The theory class was taught by Liu Donghua, who was also a member of the guard team. The textbook was compiled by them based on the materials they collected over the past year. It took more than half an hour to complete a circle, and then they drank tea in the living room and had dinner on the street, so they turned around quickly.

"Today, I am very happy to see the construction of your organization, military construction, and industrial construction in the Baizhang factory. It is impressive to have such a large industry in just one or two years. It seems that you basically have the ability to be independent, but your foundation is still not solid. You must not be greedy for quick success and advance rashly. One failure will lead to your disintegration," Teacher Yang said slowly after taking a sip of tea.

"Also, Xiaohu, I've heard about your story. In the future, don't do everything by yourself. Let your brothers find a solution together. Because of you, your father and all of us are here together. Without you, there is nothing. Do you understand?" he continued earnestly.

"Grandpa, I know that I usually won't put myself in danger," Du Chenyu said solemnly.

"Well, that's good, let them all go back," he looked at the guards at the door.

"You guys guard here and don't let anyone in." He Cunyi arranged guards. Only his father, Teacher Yang, He Cunyi and him were left in the room.

"There is a platoon leader named Peng Huiyu in the Lianghui garrison. He is a capable person. I have learned about his background in the past few days. He is the son of Peng Jinzhong, the former deputy commander of the patrol battalion of the Inspection Department. Commander Peng was righteous all his life, but he suffered long-term exclusion and died in the second year of the Guangxu period, leaving behind two sons and a daughter. Peng Huiyu is the eldest son. He was smart since he was a child. He studied in a military school for one year. His father passed away and he had to come back to mourn. Then he encountered changes in the times. Peng Huiyu had to join the army to support his family. With the adjustment of some positions this year, his father resigned for some reasons. He has a straightforward personality and insufficient family assets, so he was gradually marginalized in the garrison. He was transferred to Lianghui as a platoon leader at the beginning of the year," said teacher Yang Chaoyi.

"We are eager to recruit talented people and will never let them go," said my father.

"That's good. I'm just giving you a reminder. You guys take care of the details. I'll go back to my hometown first," said Yang Chaoyi.

After they left, the house was ready for dinner.

The next day, after several rounds of negotiations, all parties concluded that the attack on the garrison was the work of the Red Lantern Cult. Of course, the matter of eradicating the Red Lantern Cult, who dared to attack the garrison, had been basically decided. It was just that who would pay and provide the manpower and what to do would ultimately depend on the county's opinion. Teacher Yang Chaoyi took their investigation results back, and his father was still escorting them. The road construction teams from each village had all arrived, and they were rushing to complete the basic repairs of the road section before the New Year. He also took out 200 kilograms of gunpowder, ready to blow up some rocks.

On January 1914, 1, which was also the night of the 18rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the time for celebrating the Little New Year and worshiping the Kitchen God, Yuanshanping police chief Li Youtian and Red Lantern leader Zhang Zhenxian held a banquet at home that night and invited head of Zhao Peng to attend. However, Li Youtian and his wife chopped off head of Zhao Peng, and all of Zhao Peng's militiamen were disarmed. Li Youtian proclaimed himself the leader of the Red Lantern Sect in northern Sichuan, with Zhang Zhenxian as his military advisor. They raised the banner of obeying the will of heaven and serving the people, displayed head of Zhao Peng, offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, and swore an oath of blood. That night, Li Youtian led his team to attack Yu Yuedong's defensive post in Lianghekou, and more than a dozen people were hung on trees by all the old men.

It was already 3 a.m. when Du Chenyu received the news. There was an urgent knock on the door. "Report, there is an emergency, something big has happened," the sentry outside the door shouted, and his father got up to open the door.
