Half a month later, the patrol police station was established in Shudu, and the first patrol team soon appeared on the streets of Chengdu. Zhao Shouhong completely delegated the power of the patrol police station to Zhang Yi, asking him to expand the staffing as much as possible and ensure that the public security in the entire Zhongchuan must be stabilized. With the support of Ge Laohui, I believe that their work will be very relaxed.

After several senior officials discussed the personnel changes of the new army, they quickly presented them. Feeling that the situation in Zhongchuan was critical, the Empress Dowager quickly approved it, and their proposals were all approved. Among them, Zhou Daogang was transferred to the position of the 33rd Association, while Pan Wenhua was transferred back to the 34th Association as the 34th Association. Wu Ziyu was appointed as the new 17th Town New Army Town because of his contribution to suppressing bandits, which was a gain of fame and fortune.

The patrol battalion's management was directly appointed by Shangguan, and Zhao Shouhong was not polite about this. Soon his patrol battalion's management list came out. What surprised everyone was that the list was all people who had just graduated from the Martial Preparation Academy, including Zhu Daizhen, Wang Bailing, Li Jishen, Yu Feipeng, Gao Yuhan and Xiong Chengji. The troops under him were also filled in with veterans of the independent regiments in the factory protection team. As for the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion, he directly sent money to dismiss him.

Zhao Shouhong knew that although these patrol battalions were not large, they were the most important weapons for his future hidden power, so they naturally needed to be managed by their confidants. The six new guards were all members of the Pioneer Party, and they were all passionate young people who grew up under his ideological education. Their loyalty to him can be guaranteed.

The patrol battalion is very small. According to the Later Jin army system, the patrol battalion is divided into horse teams and infantry teams. The entire battalion has 189 officials, soldiers, and 135 horses. Each battalion is divided into three middle, left and right posts. The entire battalion has 301 officials, ban and marshals, and each battalion is also divided into three middle, left and right posts.

Such a small organization does not conform to tactical principles at all, and once you go to the battlefield, it will naturally be of great use. Zhao Shouhong completely broke this organization. Anyway, the emperor of the Nakagawa is far away, and the boss, the Governor, is his second grandfather. Zhao Shouhong became much bolder because of this. He began to reform the military system drastically.

The patrol battalion was equipped with personnel according to the Independent Brigade by Zhao Shouhong. The infantry platoon was organized by three infantry squads and one machine gun squad. Each infantry squad was twelve, all equipped with seven-mm caliber Phil rifles, that is, the formally organized Type 08 rifles, one of which was a health soldier. Each machine gun squad was twelve, equipped with a Mark heavy machine gun and two 60-mm mortars.

Each infantry company has three infantry platoons, one machine gun platoon and a thirty-man baggage team. Among them, the machine gun platoon is forty, with three Mark heavy machine guns and three 60mm mortars. The infantry battalion is organized by nine hundred people, including three infantry companies, one machine gun company and one direct company. The machine gun company has one hundred and six Mark heavy machine guns and three 57mm Cruson infantry cannons. The direct company has one hundred and twelve people, including a thirty-five bandage, a thirty-five-man spy platoon, and a thirty-five-man reconnaissance platoon.

The Infantry Regiment has three infantry battalions, and there is also a direct team, including a communications company, an engineering company, two baggage companies, a reconnaissance guard company, and a small field hospital. There is also an artillery battalion equipped with eight 76mm Krupp mountain artillery, totaling about 4,000 people. Each independent brigade has two infantry regiments, reaching a structure of more than 8,000 people, and the number is almost the same as that of the new army in a town.

Of course, in order not to let the court focus on Zhongchuan, the patrol battalion was still in place on the surface, and most of the personnel were split into various villages and towns as armed work teams, training militias while conducting various trainings on their own. Even so, this was the first time that Zhao Shouhong mastered his new army that belonged entirely to him, which became a trump card in his future.

The expansion of underground forces is also in full swing. With the support of Zhao Shouhong and the new army, Hou Baozhai quickly annexed the underground forces of Shunqing Prefecture. With Zhao Shouhong behind his back, he used the patrol station to open the way for everything. Who dared to stop the bandits and clean up the rioters? Even She Ying could only shrink her subordinates and firmly defend her territory, not daring to take any action.

Just as Zhao Shouhong was busy organizing a new patrol battalion, conducting completely regular training for him, and expanding his power from all aspects, Sun Wenhai was also in full swing in Annan to arrange various matters of the uprising. As early as the beginning of the year, Sun Wenhai and Huang Bin arrived in Hanoi one after another in order to plan the armed uprising in Zhennanguan nearby. After Sun Wenhai lobbying from many parties, Huang Mingtang, the leader of the guerrillas active in Zhennanguan and Namo, announced that he would accept Sun Wenhai's command, and he himself quickly joined the Communist Party.

With hundreds of rural brave men in Huang Mingtang and Guan Renfu's hands, the uprising personnel were settled. In order to make the uprising more confident, Sun Wenhai concentrated all the donations in his hands and prepared for the uprising through the Gauls in Annan. At this time, Sun Wenhai received another letter.

"Brother Huang, Hanmin, come and have a look. Mr. Zhao has sent another letter." Mr. Sun waved a letter in his hand and said excitedly to Huang Xing and Hu Hanmin.

"Oh? Last time Zhang Taiyan criticized him like that in the newspaper, he could calm down and not come out to refute. Unexpectedly, when we were about to launch an uprising, he actually wrote another letter?" Huang Bin became very interested. He and Sun Wenhai had made countless speculations about Mr. Zhao, but he was still unaware of the key points.

"This is such a strange man. He actually knew that we were going to promote justice in Zhennanguan. In his letter, he told me to pay attention to the new army officers who agreed to the uprising and finally attacked us." Mr. Sun said with the letter: "He also said that once the court put pressure on the Gallic government, the Indochina colonial government would definitely intercept our weapons and ammunition, so all weapons and ammunition should be transported to the border area in advance. It seemed that he knew our overall plan, which was really funny."

Sun Wenhai laughed loudly, but Huang Bin couldn't laugh: "It seems wrong. The problems he mentioned were indeed something I had never thought of before, and his deployments really coincide with us."

The three of them looked at each other, and Hu Hanmin said, "Is this Mr. Zhao right next to us and said that there are Mr. Zhao's people around us?"

Sun Wenhai took out a piece of paper from the letter and waved it: "Look, this is a check of 50,000 Gaul francs, which can be exchanged in Hanoi. I think Mr. Zhao has no malice even if he monitors us."
