The Republic of China: In order to seize the Cantonese department, the principal directly called Nia

"Why did you raise so many soldiers, where did you get the money?".

Chen Qitang couldn't help but question his nephew.

Chen Xu opened his mouth to explain: "Sixth uncle, when I first went to Qiongdao, I was robbed by bandits several times, so I wrote down this revenge. "

"So as soon as I made money, I started recruiting. "

"When I was the county magistrate in Changjiang County, I expanded the original security brigade into five security regiments, and hehe, I wiped out all the bandits in Changjiang County in three months. "

"After the sixth uncle made me the governor of Qiongzhou Road, I copied my experience in Changjiang County. "

"Three or four security regiments have been set up in each county to maintain law and order while suppressing bandits. "

Later, the nephew found that it was difficult to domesticate the Diao people in some poor mountains and bad waters, so the nephew pulled all the local young people into the security group. "

"Feed them, and then pull them to build roads and mines. "

"I didn't expect it to work, those poor lands are not young and strong, and the banditry will be gone. "

However, the scale of the security regiment is also getting bigger and bigger, and in a few years, it has slowly become more than 60 security regiments. "

Chen Qitang: ......

In order to suppress the bandits, more than 60 security regiments and a team of 70,000 or 80,000 people were actually set up.

It is no wonder that Qiongzhou Road has not received any reports of bandits in recent years.

There are four or five security regiments in a county town, what bandits can survive?

As for the guns and bullets of those security regiments, and even artillery.

Needless to say, it must have been bought by Chen Xu, a kid.

This kid has made a lot of friends with foreigners, and it shouldn't be difficult to buy arms.

Looking at his twenty-six-year-old nephew in front of him, Chen Qitang's eyes became complicated.

This son of his second brother's family is an economic wizard of the Chen family.

Six years ago, when Chen Xu returned from studying abroad, his second brother came to the door many times to ask for a county magistrate for Chen Xu.

Chen Qitang had no choice but to arrange Chen Xu in Changjiang County, Qiongzhou Road.

It is a small county town in the middle of nowhere and poor.

In this arrangement, Chen Qitang was worried that Chen Xu was fooling around, so he gave those wealthy county towns that paid taxes to Huo Huo, and simply gave a poor county for Chen Xu to play.

Who would have thought!

Chen Xu became the county magistrate for a year, and he paid himself 300,000 oceans of tax silver.

After two years as a county magistrate, a poor county actually handed over more taxes and silver than a rich county!

The key is that there has been no civil uprising in Changjiang County because of tax collection!

Chen Qitang, who was curious, went to Changjiang County to take a look.

Boy.

The county roads in Changjiang County are wider than the roads in Yuezhou City.

Around the county seat, dozens of factories were built.

Many factories were opened by foreigners, and after inquiry, I learned that it was Chen Xu's friend who was studying abroad to invest in the ......

It is these factories that have made Changjiang County a large tax-paying county.

Seeing that Chen Xu had governed Changjiang County in an orderly manner and was getting richer and richer, Chen Qitang suddenly decided to transfer Chen Xu to Yuezhou Road to become the county magistrate.

Chen Xu was unwilling.

Chen Xu directly said that the sixth uncle trusted himself and let him be the military and political director of Qiongzhou Road, and take care of Qiongzhou Road.

Guangdong Province is divided into six provinces.

Donggang Road, Bak Jiang Province, Yuezhou Road, Xijiang Road, West Guangdong Road, Qiongzhou Road.

Canton Road is the center of Guangdong Province and is the richest.

Qiongzhou Road is Qiong Island, which was originally the poorest road.

However, because of the rapid development of Chen Xu's Changjiang County, it faintly suppressed the westernmost Guangdong Province in West Guangdong Province.

Chen Qitang was also a little surprised by Chen Xu's ambitions.

However, after all, it is his own nephew.

After a little hesitation, I agreed.

Qiongzhou Road is the worst road, and it will be handed over to Chen Xu to take care of, no matter how bad it is, it will not hurt the foundation of the Guangdong system.

Then, Chen Qitang waved his hand and made Chen Xu the head of the military and political affairs of Qiongzhou Province.

Chen Xu also became the leader of Qiongzhou Road.

After becoming the governor of Qiongzhou Road, Chen Xu also lived up to expectations.

In the first year of his tenure, he paid an extra 1.5 million oceans in taxes.

At this moment, even Chen Qitang was impressed, and called the Chen family an economic wizard ......

Now, Chen Xu has shown Chen Qitang his recruiting ability again.

In one place, a team of 70,000 or 80,000 people was raised.

You must know that your Cantonese army is only more than 100,000 people.

Chen Xu is equivalent to pulling up half of the Cantonese army in two or three years!

Although it is not known how effective those security regiments are.

However, Chen Xu's ability to recruit troops, as well as his ability to raise troops, is definitely the top of his contemporaries.

Even if it is replaced by him Chen Qitang.

Nor can an army of seventy or eighty thousand men be pulled up at once in such a short time and in such a small area.

You know, 780,000 people are 780,000 mouths.

It's to feed them!

Seventy or eighty thousand people, seventy or eighty thousand guns are needed.

The purchase of these firearms and ammunition is also a huge expense.

It seems that Chen Xu, this kid, earns much more money than he pays taxes......

Seeing that Chen Qitang fell into deep thought, Chen Xu and the others were a little impatient, and reminded him

"Sixth Uncle, what do you think of your nephew's thoughts?"

Chen Qitang came back to his senses, looked at Chen Xu's sincere face, and couldn't bear to blow his nephew's enthusiasm.

Chen Qitang opened his mouth and said, "What is the military discipline of those security regiments of yours?"

Chen Xu patted his chest and said: "They definitely don't dare to do the things of adultery and plunder, I killed dozens of them last year, and I have been deterred." "

Chen Qitang: ......

Well, after all, it is a security group, and it is indeed the upper limit to be able to do it without committing adultery and plundering.

Chen Qitang then asked, "Are the leaders of those security regiments loyal and reliable?"

Chen Xu: "Sixth Uncle rest assured, they are all born and raised in Qiongdao, and their families are all on the island, whoever dares to be disobedient will directly destroy him." "

Chen Qitang: ......

At a young age, how can you be more ruthless than yourself?

What has this kid learned in the past few years!

However, in this way, Chen Qitang was also relieved.

Since those security groups can be controlled, there is no problem in using them to help defend the city.

Chen Qitang nodded: "Okay, just transfer your security regiment from Qiongzhou Road and send it to various counties to enrich the local garrison." "

"You also transfer a security regiment with the best military discipline to Yuezhou City to assist in defending the city. "

Chen Xu was overjoyed and hurriedly received the order: "My nephew obeys the order of the marshal." "

Chen Qitang nodded.

Chen Xu spoke again: "Marshal, can you add another sentence to the order, so that the counties can prepare military rations ......."

Chen Qitang: "Ah Xu doesn't have to worry, this is a matter within the responsibility of each county." "

"Well, those security corps of yours probably haven't experienced ...... expedition."

"Maybe this commander will add this sentence to the military order, so as not to be bullied by your security team. "
