After the meeting, Zhao Zhenzhong distributed some mimeographed brochures to the participants. In addition to the content mentioned at the meeting, it listed in more detail the standards for dividing landlords, bullies, local tyrants, bad gentry, rich peasants, middle peasants, and poor peasants. At the same time, it listed various issues to be paid attention to in related work, and emphasized the disciplines that each company and working group must abide by when carrying out relevant work.

After the meeting, Zhao Zhenzhong stayed Du Yishan, Liu Jifeng, Jiang Yishan, Zou Degui, Xu Chaoyuan, Zhang Mingrui, and Yang Tianming, and said to the people: "After finding out the matter of Li Wutu, the company where Liu Jifeng is located will be responsible for suppressing it before the Spring Festival. Try to capture Li Wutu and his main backbone, and then hold a people's meeting, announce his crimes and execute him. I only listed one general topic in this booklet, and the specific operation will be organized by the Liu Jifeng company. The other companies are located in the areas where they are located should be selected to participate so that they can organize promotion after going back. After determining the action and the time of the people's meeting, I will notify me and I will also participate."

"Okay, that's right, let Mr. lead us. Otherwise, we're really confused." Liu Jifeng was very happy.

"This time I am just a bystander and will not interfere with your organizational arrangements." Zhao Zhenzhong shook his head and denied Liu Jifeng's idea, and said: "We are not born with many things, and we have to go through a process from unfamiliarity to proficiency. Our future tasks are very arduous, and you must seize the time and opportunity to hone yourself and let yourself grow up as soon as possible. This time, suppressing Li Wutu and launching and organizing activities for the people is regarded as an opportunity to practice and improve. Several companies have also sent people to participate, and organize and arrange according to the general requirements listed in the booklet. Through actual operations, learn and improve together."

After Liu Jifeng and others agreed, they began to discuss the details.

"Zhang Mingrui, please arrange it. In your training camp, find a place to set up a mourning hall, and place the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers first in your training camp. After the spring begins, choose a place to build a tomb." Zhao Zhenzhong made another request.

"No problem! You can educate the trainees in the training camp through the deeds of the martyrs, so that they can understand what kind of team we are." Zhang Mingrui agreed readily.

On the evening of January 9, 1926, Liu Jifeng led his men to touch Li Wutu’s home in Shagou at night and completely controlled his family. The next day, a people’s meeting was held in Shagou. At the meeting, Liu Jifeng announced in public that Li Wutu and Yin Laihao, two bandits of bandits colluded with each other, robbed nearby people and past merchants, and sold stolen stolen bandits through pawnshops and other industries.

Seeing that the "Master Li" who was bullied in the past was tied up and was escorted to the crowd with a gun, and looked dejected, the people were startled to be shocked. But then, listening to the crimes of Li Wutu colluding with bandits to bully the nearby people by Liu Jifeng, and the people who had blood feuds with Li Wutu mobilized by Liu Jifeng and others, some people couldn't help but think of the tragic situation of being bullied by Li Wutu and couldn't help but cry sadly. The surprise in the eyes of the people gradually turned into a raging anger.

Amid the angry condemnation of the people, Li Wutu was executed by Liu Jifeng.

Subsequently, Liu Jifeng announced the confiscation of Li Wutu's property and allocated most of the food and land to those people in their families who were in difficulty, had no land or had little land.

There is such a good thing? The people initially disbelief, but then they saw that some poor people did take bags of food from Li Wutu’s house, the people went from surprise to happiness, and finally became excited.

"This is the power of the people. When they are fully awakened, that huge power can change the world." Zhao Zhenzhong saw the changes in the people's front and back, and couldn't help but sigh to Jiang Yishan, Du Yishan, Xu Chaoyuan, Zou Degui, Zhang Mingrui, and Yang Tianming who were watching on the side: "At any time, we cannot forget that we are also a member of the people. Every member of our team is a soldier who comes from the people and protects the people."

"After you go back, you organize your respective companies to participate in this operation to summarize your experiences so that you can promote them within the region. You must strictly follow the requirements of the manual I issued last time."

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely summarize our experience and get things done." Jiang Yishan and other companies promised.

"Okay, let's arrange those things after you go back." Zhao Zhenzhong waved his hand and said, "Zhang Mingrui, the terrain near the sand ditch is dangerous, so you can't just leave it alone. Now the earliest training camp should have been over 3 months. They will be transferred here to garrison, even if it's another training subject."

"There are more than 6,000 people in the training camp, and the first 1,600 people have been trained for three months. Although it should not be a problem to carry out garrison tasks under the leadership of veterans, according to the previous standards of training of the Rangers, it is still far from it. If they were asked to undertake garrison tasks now, wouldn't they participate in the subsequent training?" Zhang Mingrui raised his doubts.

"You..." Zhao Zhenzhong looked at Zhang Mingrui and said, "It is of course very good to devote his mind to training newcomers all day long, but he also needs to take into account other things and make more adjustments. What I just said was to transfer them here to garrison them one after another, so you can't train them one after another? It's just that the training end time of a small number of people is delayed by one or two months."

Zhang Mingrui patted his forehead with some embarrassment and said, "I understand. Sir, how many people I can draw here?"

"They are all newcomers and cannot compare with those guard soldiers who have been training for a long time. Let's draw three company trainees to come over first. Stay for a month and a half before rotation."

Then, Zhao Zhenzhong explained: "I controlled the Shagou area and infiltrated a solid force between Jiushan in the north and Han Wang in the south, effectively connecting the entire eastern line into a whole. At the same time, the distance here is basically the same from Shiqiao, Han Wang and Donglidian, which can effectively echo these places and improve the defense."

After listening to Zhao Zhenzhong's explanation, Jiang Yishan, Du Yishan, Zhang Mingrui and others saw the sand table situation in this area and nodded.

The Shagou area is located 30 kilometers northwest of Yishui County, connecting with Gaoqiao and Ma Station in the east, Shiqiao and Jiushan areas in the west, Zhuge and Gaoqiao in the south, and Linqu County and Ma Station in the north. There are now dozens of natural villages near this area, with a population of more than 20,000.

This area belongs to a semi-hill and semi-plain area, and the terrain is mainly composed of the Yishan Mountains and the Shuhe River Basin Plain. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. There are more than 10 peaks with an altitude of more than 500 meters in the northwest. The Taibuding is 916 meters above sea level, which is several peaks in Yishui County. The southeast is the alluvial plain on both sides of the Shuhe River, accounting for 1/6 of the total area of ​​the nearby area.

Controlling the Shagou area not only further effectively connects the eastern line, but also improves the defense system, but also more effectively divides the northwest part of Yishui from the entire Yishui County, further enhancing the efforts to turn the active area into a control area.

After arranging all the matters, Zhao Zhenzhong returned to Qingdao to attend the year-end meeting of Sihai Industrial.

With the official launch of Zhongshiqiao Cement Factory in October 1925, Sihai Industrial added three profitable industries: cement factory, construction company and wardrobe manufacturing factory. In addition, Nanyao's canning factory and bicycle factory, and Sihai Restaurant with Caiyuan Guangjin, this year's dividends made every shareholder smile.

"Gentlemen, although our business conditions were very good last year, we may not have such a happy return this year." Zhao Zhenzhong began to greet all shareholders in advance. "Everyone knows the actions of Supervisor Zhang since he took office this year. A profitable industry like ours will definitely enter the eyes of his subordinates, and maybe we will face a lot of trouble this year."

"Yes, this Chief Zhang is so motivated to make money, it's unbearable." Sui Shiqing said with a wry smile.

"Zhao, I think that Chief Zhang should not touch the interests of our American businessmen." Courtman said in disbelief.

"I hope." Zhao Zhenzhong did not want to argue with these foreigners, so he said: "In addition to Supervisor Zhang, the two newly added industries with higher profits are facing the threat of bandits. In October last year, Mr. Sui, Mr. Lord and Mr. Courtman also saw bullet holes everywhere on the walls of the Shiqiao Cement Plant, and also knew how rampant the bandits were around. In that battle, 182 sacrificed personnel appeared in our merchant group. Therefore, I suggest that the weapons and equipment of the merchant group personnel be increased accordingly this year, especially the number of ammunition."

Sui Shiqing, Lord and Courtman, who had seen the bullet holes and the bloody aura that had been spread for several days after the war, could not help but change their faces when they thought of the scene that day. In order to ensure their own interests, the three of them agreed to increase the number of weapons and equipment and ammunition of the merchant group, but handed over the specific matter to Zhao Zhenzhong.

After the meeting, Zhao Zhenzhong found Lord.

"Mr. Lord, I'll ask you to help solve the weapons and ammunition problems of the merchant regiment and several company guards." Zhao Zhenzhong straightened the point.

"Zhao, didn't you get the rifles and pistols provided by Mauser at the best price every year in the past two years? It's almost 2,000 now, right? Do you still need them?" Lord was a little confused.

"Mr. Lord, you know that the soldiers of our merchant group were originally uneducated farmers and did not know how to maintain guns. A good gun would have problems due to improper use or maintenance within a year. I had to sell the damaged guns to others at a low price. Now there are 600 people in the merchant group, and nearly 900 people in several company guards. So many people use them, the original guns are barely enough. So this time I want to buy another batch of equipment to store them so that they can be replaced by relevant personnel in time after special circumstances occur." Zhao Zhenzhong found a reason to explain.

"Then how much do you need this time?"

"It requires 3,000 Mauser rifles, 200 Mauser pistols, each with 2,000 bullets. In addition, 60 pairs of scopes and 60 pairs of telescopes are needed."

"Well, this quantity should not be a big problem." Lord said after pondering for a moment: "Even if these quantity of equipment is at the best price, it will cost more than 80,000 US dollars."

"No problem, as long as it can be shipped before March." Zhao Zhenzhong successfully concluded the equipment purchase agreement with Lord.

In theory, Zhao Zhenzhong has a lot of American equipment purchased from White and Fat Jack at a very low price, so there should be no need to buy German equipment from Lord. However, Zhao Zhenzhong's move has his own intention.

In this era, army guns were basically the world of German and Japanese equipment. Now Zhao Zhenzhong has not received a large amount of American equipment from the Americans for a while. If many armed forces using American equipment appear in Shandong, the Americans must know that there is a shadow of Zhao Zhenzhong. And now it is far from when General Zhao Zhen’s power is exposed.
