As the first recruitment process of the rebuilt Jiangdu County Police Station ended, the first batch of 120 police officers stood in the courtyard, listening to the lectures of Jiangdu County Police Chief Wu Qiusheng.

"In compliance with County Magistrate Lin's order, I am recruiting police officers openly in Jiangdu County. Only then will you country kids have the opportunity to put on police uniforms and carry police guns."

"This is all thanks to County Magistrate Lin!"

"So, from now on, each of you must keep this sentence firmly in your heart!"

"You are eating the food awarded by the Chief of Lin County, and wearing the clothes awarded by the Chief of Lin County!"

"It was County Magistrate Lin who allowed you to have such a prosperous life today, and gave you this iron rice bowl that guarantees harvest despite drought and floods!"

"If anyone dares not to serve County Magistrate Lin well, I, Wu Qiusheng, will give him a damn!"

"Have you remembered?"

Wu Qiusheng had been working in the police station for several years, and he had already developed a violent temper. Otherwise, he would not be able to deter the gang of thugs in the area.

Therefore, when he showed his violent attitude to these simple young people in the countryside, he naturally frightened everyone to the point of trembling in their hearts.

"Remember..." several police officers whispered.

"Can't hear you!" Wu Qiusheng yelled.

"remember!"

The police officers raised their voices and spoke in unison.

"Can't hear, can't hear!"

"Are you still a man?"

"With such a small voice, you still want to be a police officer!" Wu Qiusheng yelled again!

"remember!"

The police officers immediately pulled their necks and shouted.

"This is so true!"

"Come on, you all read after me!"

"Everyone calls out his or her name first, and then calls out to me. I am eating the food and taking the money rewarded by the county magistrate. If I don't serve the county magistrate well, I will be struck to pieces by thunder!"

Following Wu Qiusheng's lead, the 120 new police officers shouted in unison:

"I, Zhao Qian..."

"I, Sun Li..."

"I, Zhou Wu..."

"I, Zheng Wang..."

"What I eat is the food rewarded by the county magistrate, and what I get is the money rewarded by the county magistrate. If I don't serve the county magistrate well, five thunderbolts from heaven will smash me to pieces!"

"Good, very energetic!"

"From now on, you will shout this sentence before eating three meals a day. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone shouted in unison.

So, starting from today, whenever it's meal time, this slogan will be heard neatly in the courtyard of the police station, and then everyone will take their rice bowls to the kitchen to prepare food.

From that day on, police officers wearing black police uniforms and police hats appeared in surrounding areas such as the county town and docks.

There are 10 of them in a team, with the leader wearing a Mauser pistol and the rest of the team members carrying rifles.

When these people appeared in the streets, the rogue gangsters who usually roamed the streets in East and West shunned them one by one.

After all, no matter how much they dare to play rough, they don't dare to play rough with someone with a gun.

With the intimidation of these police officers and the presence of Wu Qiusheng and Lu Xiwa, two equally ruthless and experienced police chiefs, the public security atmosphere in Jiangdu County was quickly reversed.

······

dark and windy night

Murder and steal the family's life

For the ragtag group of [Jiangbei Joint Defense Forces], night is the time for sleeping, so how can it be used for marching.

What's more, it's so late at night that you can't see your fingers, and the road is full of potholes. If you don't pay attention, you will stumble or even fall directly to the ground.

Therefore, the entire march was sparse and intermittent.

Hong Tianwu sent people several times to drive them together with whippings and beatings, but it only had a temporary effect. After a while, the gang dispersed again.

After all, these people can hardly march during the day, let alone at night.

They were able to follow Hong Tianwu till now only because Hong Tianwu promised him that once they conquered Jiangdu County, they would be allowed to rob for three days!

Hong Tianwu also knew the virtues of this group of people, but there was nothing he could do about it. Apart from the teams sent out to serve as pretend soldiers, he still had a team of nearly 8,000 people under his command.

If so many people were marching in broad daylight, they would be easily discovered even if they took as narrow a path as possible.

If this exposes the whereabouts of the main force, Hong Tianwu's plum-blossom plan is nothing.

Therefore, Hong Tianwu could only coax, lie and beat his men to make them march at night in order to avoid being noticed.

According to the news he received in the early hours of this morning, two groups of pretend soldiers had succeeded. They pretended to be bandits robbing the village, attracted the nearby garrison out of the military camp, and then ran away towards Songshan County.

And the garrison at Jiangdu was really fooled, and chased after him, looking determined that one of you and I must die!

Judging from the time it took for these two feints to succeed, the remaining feints should be about the same.

According to the current marching speed, I will be able to reach the vicinity of Jiangdu County in the early morning of the day after tomorrow.

In order to make the plan to seize the city gate more sound, Hong Tianwu specially sent a few confidants to pretend to be salesmen, hide some explosives and pistols among the goods, and then sneaked into the county town with burdens.

When the [Jiangbei Joint Defense Forces] arrived in Jiangdu County, they took the opportunity to seize the city gate from inside the city, and then cooperated internally and externally to successfully invade Jiangdu County.

Hong Tianwu was excited about his wit and intelligence. Such a perfect plan would definitely help him successfully seize the extremely fat Jiangdu County.

At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves, and soon, a mixed-haired horse stopped next to him, and a Hong family member jumped out of the horse:

"Uncle, I just came from behind. There are more than 200 people left behind."

"Why don't we take a break first and wait for these brothers?"

The joy that had just arisen in Hong Tianwu's heart was instantly extinguished by this news. An unknown fire shot from his heart to the top of his head, making his forehead swell.

These are a bunch of useless snacks, they can't even walk well!

Hong Tianwu tried his best to calm down, then waved his hand and said a little discouraged: "Okay, let everyone rest where you are and wait for the people behind you."

"By the way, you go to the back and urge them to leave quickly."

"Tell them that if anyone falls behind again and breaks into Jiangdu County and robs things in the future, he will not have a share in it!"

The Hong family disciples nodded, immediately got on their horses and galloped towards the back of the team.

Hong Tianwu sat down on the big rock on the side of the road, looking at the dark night scene in the distance. After calming down the bad mood just now, his brain started working again.
