Chapter 60: Even More Powerful with the Recruitment of a General

They also stayed in Baiheba for 5 days, and then went to Huang Kunyang to meet them in the back mountain. The first thing Du Chenyu decided to do was to deal with the captured soldiers. They first reformed the prisoners for 3 months, and then increased the physical labor for some troublemakers. They managed them according to whether they had done anything harmful to the people. Ordinary people only needed to work for 3 to 6 months before they could regain their freedom, join their team or be given travel expenses to return to their hometown. Prisoners who had done bad things would be punished accordingly.

They put the prisoners and reserve members to work and train together, allowing the members to feel the unity and equality of their team. They also often held grievance and singing competitions to influence them from the bottom of their hearts and make them identify with them. So far, most of the captured regiment soldiers and guards are willing to join the reserve team or militia.

The first person Du Chenyu met was Peng Huiyu, a garrison soldier from Lianghui Temple who they had captured. The soldier had been kept highly confidential and the county had treated him as a complete annihilation.

In the meeting hall of their Banqiao training base, Du Chenyu sat upright on a chair, with Huang Kunyang and Lei Jianqin sitting on his left and right. After a while, Peng Huiyu was brought in by two team members without being tied up.

Peng Huiyu is about 1.7 meters tall, with sword-like eyebrows, a square face, a thin body, and wears short coarse cloth clothes and straw sandals. After entering the house, he looked around.

"Brother Peng, please take a seat. This is our Master Chenyu. You may have heard about him. He came here today specifically for your matter," Huang Kunyang introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Chenyu. I have heard of your great name for a long time. What can I do for you, Mr. Peng?" Peng saluted with his fists, very perfunctorily, and then sat down next to Huang Kunyang.

"Platoon Leader Peng, I'm sorry you've been wronged here," he said politely.

"Mr. Peng is no longer a platoon leader. He has not suffered any injustice here. He has food to eat and work to do. He lives a good life," said Peng, looking around.

"Platoon Leader Peng, are you still unwilling to accept this failure?" he said with a smile.

"I have nothing to be unwilling about. It's just that you are quite courageous. You actually dared to attack the garrison," Peng said, looking at him.

"Well, maybe you don't know yet, the people who attacked you were from the Red Lantern Cult. Currently, I have wiped out the Red Lantern Cult, and also wiped out Wu Weisan and Yu Yuedong of Wuying. There are no enemies left in the Donghe line north of Lianghui Temple. Of course, it was registered in the county that I sacrificed my life for my country," he said softly.

"This is true. I thought you made up the story to persuade everyone to surrender," he said.

"Am I worthy of deceiving you? For now, you will not pose any threat to me. Our jurisdiction covers an area of ​​over 1 li, with a population of over , which accounts for one tenth of Baizhang. Do you think we can have a say in the county?" he asked?

"It seems to be true. You have done something that many people dare not do." Peng Huiyu's arrogance disappeared immediately and his tone became gentle.

"What do you think of what we did?" he asked.

"You are very good to the people, and the people support you very much. This is what I admire most," he said after taking a sip of tea.

"Does that mean you agree with our ideas?" he asked.

"I have to agree or disagree with this. I have been to Chengdu and seen many forces rise and fall overnight. But you are the most genuine in treating the people well that I have ever seen. You are much better than those who talk a lot," said Peng.

"But you are still weak, so weak that you can be ignored. If you were not in this deep mountain, you would have been wiped out long ago," Peng continued.

"No one is born strong, and we only do things within our capabilities. It is enough to ensure that those who trust us have food to eat and clothes to wear," he continued.

"Of course, on the road to fighting together, we need like-minded friends to join us, so that more people can have enough food to eat. So, I came here today to ask for your opinion. Of course, this is not to persuade you to surrender. We are just looking for brothers and friends to fight together. You don't need to join unwillingly," he said.

"What can I do? I watch your military training every day. Generally speaking, it is very new and avant-garde. It is more like Japanese-style training, but the marching and formation are more like German-style. It's just that the training feels a bit fragmented and unsystematic," Peng said in one breath.

As expected, he was specially recommended by Teacher Yang Chaoyi. At least in their group, there was no one with such insight. From the beginning, they had no formal military training teacher. All training was based on the current training of the regiment and some surface training methods in the future. The training outline compiled, including the special forces, was still at a half-hearted level. What was lacking was professional instructors.

"Well, it's worthy of Teacher Yang Chaoyi to personally recommend talents. All his insights are to the point," he said.

"You know Uncle Yang. He used to be acquainted with my father. My father was maintaining law and order in Guangyuan County. After he was beaten, we had less contact. I didn't expect you still knew each other," Peng said.

"We are in the mountains. How can we make such a big move without the approval of the people above?" he asked.

"Yeah. That's true. One cannot be an official without someone in the court," Peng said thoughtfully.

"Platoon Leader Peng, on behalf of the National Revolutionary Association, I formally invite you to join. Of course, it is entirely voluntary. If you don't want to, you can only live here for the time being. In two years, you will be free," Du Chenyu said solemnly.

"Although I agree with you, you are still too weak at the moment. If the wind blows, you may not still be there tomorrow," Peng Huiyu said hesitantly.

"Mr. Peng, to put it bluntly, you are just afraid of death. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? You were not a crappy government army before. How come you were wiped out by us when you were so powerful? If it weren't for the mercy of Master Chenyu, you would have been torn into pieces by wild dogs. Master Chenyu personally promoted you, but you still pretend to be so high and mighty", Lei Jianqin heard someone looking down on their organization, and immediately stood up and yelled at Peng Huiyu.

"Aren't you very powerful? Let's have a fight outside and see," Lei Jianqin continued.

"Brother Lei, please sit down. What are you talking about? Platoon Leader Peng is our guest." Seeing that he was getting angrier and angrier, he had to come out and play the good guy, waving to Lei Jianqin to sit down.

"Hmph..." Lei Jianqin sat down angrily.

"This brother is right. It is me, Peng, who is blind to recognize the great man. Young Master Chenyu was born to serve the people. He is worthy of admiration. Yu Yuan is willing to serve the people and do useful things for them," said Peng Huiyu, standing up and bowing.

"Well, with Brother Peng joining us, our business will be even more powerful. Bring some wine, let's raise a glass and welcome our talented young man," said Du Chenyu, standing on a chair and clapping his hands.

The two of them immediately applauded. "Brother Peng, welcome, welcome. We are brothers from now on. Just tell me if you have anything to say." Huang Kunyang walked up to him and patted his shoulder.

"Brother Peng, I, Lei Jianqin, have a bad temper. Please don't be surprised. I will give you more advice in the future. There are not many people who can get praise from Master Chenyu. The last time I heard him praise someone was Mr. Shen whom we rescued from the bandit's nest. Master Chenyu said that he was knowledgeable and talented, and you are the second one," Lei Jianqin went up and hit Peng Huiyu on the chest.

"Brother Lei, what are you talking about? We are brothers, so let's not talk behind each other's back. Brother Lei, I haven't had sex for a long time. I would like to learn a few moves from you." After all, Peng Huiyu is a young man of twenty-three or twenty-four, full of vigor and vitality.

"Let's go outside," Lei Jianqin suddenly became interested.

"Okay," said Peng Huiyu. When you meet a worthy opponent, you can't help but feel itchy and a big battle is inevitable.

The two of them walked outside, where the training was taking place. They jumped three feet high and came outside. The others sat on a log and watched from behind.

Lei Jianqin stood sideways in a horse stance, with his left palm and right hand half-clenched into fists. Peng Huiyu was standing there with his left hand behind his back and his right hand naturally formed into a palm, standing in the wind with the demeanor of a hero.

The two got into a stance, and the battle was about to break out.
