dawn of dynasty

Chapter 100 No military power?Then start from scratch!
Section Chief Zhao took up what he just said and continued.

"For this reason, the county wants to set up a hometown protection group. This can also share the pressure on Hongdong Camp. Are you right, Company Commander Zhang?"

Zhang Shujiang smoked his cigar and ignored him.

"We have discussed with the large households in the county during this period, and they are all willing to contribute money. However, relying solely on large households to contribute money will not last long, so the Finance Department also has to provide money, but the county's finances are limited after all..."

"I said why did you call me? Daqing is waiting here! After all, you just don't want to pay, right? This is what we agreed to before!"

"Captain Zhang, we just agreed to discuss it before, but we never said we would definitely give it to you. After all, the money is too big."

Governor Chen interjected.

"The county has actually discussed that Hongdong Camp should be converted into a regiment camp, which will cost a lot of money. Hongdong County cannot afford this money. Camp Commander Gong should actually work hard elsewhere. Of course, Hongdong Camp After protecting our neighbors for many years, we will still give them the money they deserve."

Shen Guanye looked calm and sat aside, watching the secret confrontation between Governor Chen and Zhang Shujiang.

It would be unthinkable in later generations for troops to defend local areas to rely on local financial support, but in today's chaotic era, this is very common.

Not to mention collecting local "tribute", troops from various places even do business.

Like Hongdong Camp, in addition to receiving funding from the province, funding from Hongdong County is also a major source of funds to support its daily training and suppression of bandits.

In addition, there are several hugely profitable businesses in Hongdongying.

In Hongdong County, Hongdongying is definitely the local emperor.

Nowadays, this local emperor has the tendency to continue to grow bigger.

Before Gong Ziqiang took up his duties, the strength of Hongdong Camp was already very good, with a full establishment of 500 people, plus 10 fifth-level heroic spirits and many low-level heroic spirits.

The preparation is quite a bit over the top.

In addition, the former battalion commander Gu Weiguo was almost dismissed from his post and left in embarrassment with only a few soldiers. However, Gong Ziqiang took office with nearly a hundred soldiers. These one hundred soldiers all followed Gong Ziqiang. Elite soldier for many years.

As a result, the strength of Hongdong Camp suddenly increased significantly.

As soon as the two parties met, there were various conflicts at first. However, with Gong Ziqiang's repeated victories in the process of suppressing bandits, and the unknown identities of several former "thorn heads" of the Hongdong Battalion during the process of suppressing bandits, it became clear that die.

Today's Hongdong Camp is already monolithic.

Not only that, because Gong Ziqiang was effective in suppressing bandits, he received many awards from his superiors, including many rewards such as heroes, military expenditures, ammunition, and materials.

Gong Ziqiang used these awards to recruit many more soldiers.

Nowadays, Hongdong Camp is far beyond the scope of a battalion, both in terms of numbers and combat power, and is as close to a regiment.

Therefore, Hongdong Camp began to seek to go further and transform the camp into a regiment.

For Hongdongying to become a Hongdong regiment, local support must of course increase. Some time ago, Gong Ziqiang made a request for funding from Hongdong County.

But for Hongdong County, a large increase in appropriations will not only overwhelm the finances, but also provide very few benefits - the command power of Hongdong Camp is not in the hands of Hongdong County. I will pay the big share, but the benefits will go to you Gong. How can there be such a good thing in the world if it comes from self-improvement?
The two sides have been arguing over this matter for some time.

Today is just a continuation of this.

"Governor Chen, do you mean that this matter is no longer negotiable?"

"Okay, we in Hongdong camp don't agree with the establishment of a hometown protection group! Our Hongdong camp is very effective in suppressing bandits. If you suddenly want to set up a hometown protection group, what will the nearby counties think? What will the superiors think? I don't know. I thought our Hongdong camp couldn’t do it well!”

Zhang Shujiang suddenly sneered, pinched the cigar into the ashtray, and said.

The tone was a little angry, and after speaking, he gave Shen Guanye a meaningful look.

The atmosphere in the conference room was stagnant for a moment. Zhao Lide moved his mouth and opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Governor, the eldest son of the Su family is here."

The person who spoke was Chen Muyun’s secretary.

Zhang Shujiang's eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but look at Chen Muyun and Shen Guanye, and found that they both had equally surprised expressions on their faces.

"Please come in."

The door was opened and Su Changyu walked in.

"Chang Yu, why are you here?"

Chen Muyun was a little surprised, but when he saw Su Changyu, he still behaved very close to him, saying "Changyu" every time.

"Xiao Wang, pour tea for Chang Yu."

"Okay, go right away. Mr. Su, please take a seat first."

Secretary Wang responded and opened the seat for Su Changyu.

Su Changyu thanked him in a low voice and exchanged greetings with everyone present.

"What's the matter with your nephew's visit today?"

Chen Muyun had already guessed about Su Changyu's purpose, but he still asked.

Su Changyu smiled and looked at Shen Guanye.

"I'm here for the establishment of a hometown protection group proposed by Brother Ye."

Shen Guanye showed a polite smile.

Do you think he went to Su's house that day just to visit?
of course not.

The purpose of visiting is only superficial, the real purpose is to discuss the establishment of a hometown protection group.He stayed at Mrs. Su's house for so long that day, mainly talking about this matter.

Otherwise, Su Changzhong could let them talk about such a "junior's nonsense" for so long?
Impossible.

He had been planning the establishment of a hometown protection group for a long time. This idea came to his mind after he became the chief of the Public Security Section.

After my father regained consciousness, I discussed it with him again, and after getting his approval, I vented my anger with Governor Chen.

As expected, Governor Chen was also very supportive.

Then he, Governor Chen, Section Chief Zhao and other high-level officials of the county government separately lobbied the big players in the county...

The reason why he proposed to establish a hometown protection group was to prepare for one day falling out with the Hongdong camp.

Who knows if Gong Ziqiang will suddenly discover that his family already knows about his private activities?
If one day this time bomb explodes before he has mastered enough heroic spirit lairs, then he must have the ability to protect himself in other aspects - forming a hometown protection group is a good way to expand his own strength. .

The combat effectiveness of the Home Guard Regiment is definitely not as good as that of the Hongdong Camp, but with a hundred or eighty people, and coupled with the heroic spirits supported by the county and various families, the combat effectiveness will not be bad.

As for who will manage the hometown protection group?
Is there a more suitable candidate besides him, the ultra-high-end version of the Chief of the Public Security Section?

You can get a decent combat power just by talking. Of course, the more this kind of thing is, the merrier!

Su Changyu looked at Zhang Shujiang again.

"My great-grandfather listened to Brother Ye's suggestion and felt that it was necessary to establish a hometown protection group."

"Captain Zhang, don't mind. Great-grandfather, he doesn't have any objections to Commander Gong and Hongdong Camp. Commander Gong's contribution is obvious to all."

"It's just that the Hongdong camp has to guard several surrounding counties, so there are bound to be deficiencies. The establishment of the rural protection group is just to check for leaks and fill in the gaps."

Su Changyu said it very politely.

"Mrs. Su, you're welcome."

Zhang Shujiang's face looked a little ugly, but he still had to say politely.

Shen Guanye silently glanced at the people present.

The reason why his proposal was so smoothly supported by Governor Chen, the Su family and other parties.

This is because although Hongdongying has done a good job in protecting the environment and the people, it has become more and more arrogant in its actions and its demands have become more and more excessive. To Hongdong County, it has become a "bandit" in another sense.

The establishment of the Hometown Protection Group will not only give them more confidence in negotiating prices when facing the Hongdong Camp, so that they will not be led by the Hongdong Camp due to security issues, but it will also allow each family to have a certain amount of force.

It is true that Shen Guanye will be the leader of the hometown protection group, but other positions can be filled by members of several of their major families?
They paid so much money, so it would be unjustifiable not to give a few seats.

In today's world, every household has a sense of insecurity, and it is always a good thing to have more force.

For Governor Chen, there was an additional benefit: he had an excuse to divert money that he was unwilling to give to the Hongdong Camp to the Hometown Protection Group.

The only obstacle is Hongdong Camp. First, it has cut off a large share of its source of money. Second, Hongdong County will not be so easy to control in the future.

This is why Zhang Shujiang put on an arrogant attitude as soon as he came up, because he knew what the purpose of today's meeting was.

Otherwise, even if he is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, he would not act like that when he comes up.

"Governor Chen, Brother Ye, don't worry, our Su family will fully support the hometown protection group."

Su Changyu finally expressed his stance.

"Thank you."

Shen Guanye thanked him sincerely.

At the same time, I sighed in my heart that Su Changyu was really a good strategist.

He was still thinking before that Su Changyu was taking advantage of him, wasn't he afraid of offending him?
How to get rid of the grudge in his heart after that.

I didn't expect the solution to be like this.

He was probably aware that he was lobbying the big names in the county, so he set up the trap when he went to Su's house that day.

Although he offended him a little, he suppressed the arrogance of Wang Qiuyun, Su Changzhong and Su Jinyao, mother and son, and also beat his own father.

More importantly, he also made Mrs. Su look favorably upon him.

They all made the old man favor him, so it became a sure thing to persuade the Su family to make a commitment and fully support him in establishing a hometown protection group.

Then, go to his door in person to express your support and easily eliminate a little grudge in his heart.

This ability to take one step and see three steps is really extraordinary. No wonder Mr. Su is so happy. With such an heir, it will be difficult for the Su family to fall.

"Captain Zhang, that's pretty much the county's opinion. I wonder what your opinion is?"

Governor Chen asked.

Zhang Shujiang's face still didn't look good, but he still encouraged:
"I can't make the decision on this matter. Let's just wait for the battalion commander to come back and I'll talk to him."

"Okay, then I'll bother Commander Zhang."

"polite!"

Zhang Shujiang left quickly.

Seeing this, Su Changyu said a few words and then left.
