A lot of people knew that after the Young Marshal reappeared in Stronghold 144 in the Northwest, the Young Marshal's team, with him as the core, held a secret meeting in a small courtyard house on East Tranquility Road.
Although everyone knew there was such a meeting, not many people were qualified to attend it.
Some people said that anyone who showed up at this meeting was the Young Marshal's trusted team.
All of the reforms in Stronghold 144 would also begin with this meeting.
At the dining table of the middle-aged people who liked to talk about current affairs and politics, this meeting became more and more mysterious. The small house where the Young Marshal lived also became more and more mysterious as they talked about it.
They said that only the truly important people in the Northwest could enter the house now. Most people should not even think about it.
The reform decrees that would be issued from there would determine the fate of the Northwest.
Sometimes, when people passed by East Tranquility Road, they would subconsciously glance into the military subdivision's residential quarters. Their companions would ask, "What are you looking at?"
Those who were secretly spying on the Young Marshal's residence would say, "Do you see that brightly lit house over there? That's where the Young Marshal lives."
The person who asked the question asked, "Why are the lights still on so late at night?"
The person who answered the question said, "What do you know? There are a lot of people working in that house right now. We're working for the future of the Northwest."
It sounded like a high-class place, but in reality, it was just Zhang Xiaoman and the others coming back to report on their work after a day's work. Then they would freeload for free food and drinks and refused to leave.
At this moment, a new upstart in the stronghold suddenly emerged: Wang Yuexi.
The more Ren Xiaosu and Wang Yuexi worked together, the more they realized this middle-aged neighbor was not a simple person. According to Sister Hu, he had been idle at home for many years and was as lazy as Ren Xiaosu in the early days.
Later, when the Soong Clan was wiped out by the Northwest Army, Wang Yuexi went to recommend himself and became the new advisor of the Northwest Army. He was put in charge of the entire policy research office in Stronghold 144.
It sounded like the research office did not have any real power, but it actually had a lot of power. Otherwise, they would not have arranged a job for Ren Xiaosu so easily.
Ren Xiaosu observed Wang Yuexi carefully. Wang Yuexi had a clear mind and handled matters in an orderly manner. The next day, Wang Yuexi led the people from the policy research office to work through the night and gave Ren Xiaosu a very satisfactory answer sheet.
Some people said Wang Yuexi was lucky to be living next door to the Young Marshal. But Ren Xiaosu knew this was a reflection of Wang Yuexi's own abilities. If Wang Yuexi were a useless person, Ren Xiaosu would not have chosen him to work for them.
The starting point of this collaboration was the administrative office. This might not seem like much in terms of political achievements. After all, it did not have much of an impact on the fiscal revenue.
But just the word "convenience" alone was enough to show Wang Yuexi's ambitions. Moreover, he was able to integrate all the departments together and get the staff out of their comfort zones to sit at the counter to serve the residents. This in itself was a great demonstration of his capabilities.
At this moment, no matter how the outside world speculated about this hut and the people who went in and out of it, there was one thing that everyone was right about. The people in this hut were indeed fighting for the future of Stronghold 144.
Wang Yun had not returned to the stronghold for seven days. According to the military order, he had to complete the mapping of the territory around Stronghold 144 within half a month. He did not have much time to do so.
The 6th Combat Brigade's 1st Infantry Regiment had been working with Wang Yun all this while. In seven days, they had covered almost every hillside and valley in the vicinity of Stronghold 144.
Everyone was very tired, but after experiencing the Battle of Mount Zuoyun, the morale of this unit was already different from before. When Wang Yun asked them if they were tired, everyone would smile and say that this was nothing compared to what they had experienced at Mount Zuoyun!
This was the sense of honor of a unit. Even if P5092 started the prelude to conscription, the veterans would still continue to pass on this sense of honor.
Only when a troop had this sense of honor could the soul of the troop be considered to have been formed.
For the past seven days, Wang Yun and the others had been camping out in the open. They did not even go back to the military camp.
They brought along a large number of surveying equipment to measure every inch of the land.
But a huge advantage of Wang Yun being in charge of surveying was that as long as the surveying equipment was used to determine the data, he could immediately draw it all on a map. The details matched the data exactly.
However, there were also some officers who were puzzled. The regimental commander of the infantry regiment asked Wang Yun, "Mr. Wang Yun, I'm a little puzzled. We don't have much time left, but you're not only mapping the barren lands, right? You're even mapping the elevation of the mountain ranges as well. Why is that? Didn't you say that our mission is to find out where the land is suitable for farming? Why are you doing this? "
Everyone knew it was impossible to grow crops in the mountains.
However, Wang Yun insisted on including the direction of the mountain ranges on the map. He even wanted to mark out the contour lines on the map. If it was just to find out where crops could be grown, where the soil was fertile, and where the barren lands were, there was no need for that at all.
However, Wang Yun explained with a smile, "This is called taking an extra step when it comes to work. Although we're only considering how to grow crops now, you've all heard from P5092 that we might have to go to war with the Wang Clan one day. At that time, he'll need a very detailed military map. The 6th Combat Brigade's previous map still has a lot of mistakes. It's not that we can't do the mapping, but it's just that normal people really can't draw a map in too much detail. It's fine as long as it's sufficient. That map is also good enough for a normal commander. "
"But P5092 is different. He can make use of all the details on the battlefield to the extreme. In that case, I naturally have to provide him with this." Wang Yun said with a smile, "When we bring this map back, he'll definitely be very surprised."
"Alright, we'll do as you say, Mr. Wang Yun," a regimental commander said.
Right now, Wang Yun, P5092, and the others had not been awarded any honors or titles. It could be said that they were just doing nothing and did not have any specific official positions.
If Wang Yun were in command of the other troops, his words would definitely not be as effective.
But the 6th Combat Brigade was different. Everyone had fought together at the Battle of Zuoyun Mount, so everyone knew what each other was capable of. All of the soldiers knew that Wang Yun and P5092 would be promoted as an exception sooner or later. Everyone was also convinced of their abilities, so they usually treated them as their superiors.
On the other hand, Zhang Xiaoman was a little free. He basically just followed Ren Xiaosu around to take care of some miscellaneous matters.
Zhang Xiaoman was also very clear about his own position. He was just there to provide a good service to everyone.
Wang Yun said to everyone with a smile, "Let's finish surveying this piece of land today. Everyone, work hard for another seven days. After seven days, we'll call it a day and return in triumph. At that time, everyone can have a good rest!"
The soldiers of the 1st Combat Brigade replied in unison, "Roger! Get to work! "
