Young Marshal: Many children bring more blessings, marry a wife who is as powerful as the world - Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Use the “Troop Influence Card”! Evolve! Family Imperial Guard Cavalry Regiment!

At this moment, the commander of the Imperial Guard Cavalry Regiment, Ma Maoxun, seemed to have become ten years younger. His eyes were like lightning, and his figure moved like a panther.

With every step, he moved with the grace of a dragon and tiger. What was even more amazing was that the two pistols at his waist, which were originally just regular handguns, had now transformed into the famous Mauser C92 pistol!

This was the renowned “box cannon”!

Looking at the other soldiers, their rifles—originally made by various countries—had all transformed into the famous Mosin-Nagant cavalry rifles from World War II!

This was a rifle specifically designed for cavalry by the Soviets. Known for its rapid rate of fire, it was affectionately called “water beads” by the soldiers.

The sniper Zhang Taofang from Daxia used this rifle and, within 32 days, fired 436 shots to kill 214 enemies. This was the rifle he used. Now, Zhang Xueming looked over the regiment.

A data display slowly appeared before his eyes.

Level: Purple (Epic)

Five cavalry platoons, each consisting of 170 people (each equipped with a Mosin-Nagant cavalry rifle and a sabre).

One cavalry artillery platoon (equipped with four 82mm rapid-fire cannons, six Maxim heavy machine guns, and 24 various light machine guns, with 140 pack horses). Total personnel: 138 people.

One cavalry reconnaissance squad (equipped with a Mosin-Nagant cavalry rifle, binoculars, and a flare gun). Total personnel: 65 people.

Imperial Guard Service Pistol Team (equipped with two Mauser C92 pistols). Total personnel: 50 people.

Total: 1,103 personnel.

Special Effects.

First Army: This is the host’s first military unit, and all ammunition consumption is provided by the system.

Loyalty: As long as the military salaries are paid, this unit will never rebel.

Determined to Die: The morale of this unit is fixed and will never drop. They can fight to the last man.

Swift: The movement speed of this unit is slightly increased, and their speed increases by 100% when chasing enemies.].

Seeing the data in front of him, Zhang Xueming couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

“Wow! Purple attributes! Four special effects!”

“This [Troop Influence Card] is too powerful!”

Luckily, this card was used on his own army; if it were used on the enemy’s forces, they would probably defect on the spot.

“System! Is this really okay?”

It was only 1916, and his army was already equipped with World War II weapons. In the Northeast region, his cavalry regiment was practically unstoppable. As Zhang Xueming pondered this, the system prompt sounded again.

“The system has changed; this is a force of law. Others will think it is completely normal.”

“Please don’t worry, Host. Quickly improve your family’s strength to gain more rewards!”

Upon hearing the system’s explanation, Zhang Xueming felt reassured.

At the same time, he noticed something: the system was telling him to “quickly improve your family’s strength to gain more rewards.”

“Ah!”

“It looks like I’ve been slacking off recently!”

Zhang Xueming turned to look at the slightly rounded belly of Yu Fengzhi behind him. Pregnancy lasts for ten months! That’s the natural law. Even the system couldn’t speed up the process.

Today, Yu Fengzhi was three months pregnant. That meant there was still a seven-month gap before she would give birth. Of course, if you count the time needed for recovery after childbirth, it would take at least a year before she could get pregnant again.

Zhang Xueming realized that he had to seize this time and work hard. He had to find more high-quality women for the family’s future prosperity. Time was running out. He glanced sharply, raising his hand.

“Disperse the cavalry platoons, and march along the route to Daqing to eliminate the bandits!”

“If we come across an easily destroyable bandit stronghold, break in and wipe them out!”

“If we encounter strong resistance, don’t engage directly—call in artillery support!”

“Remember, after we destroy the stronghold, execute the bandit leader on the spot, and capture the rest of the survivors as recruits!”

“As for the women in the strongholds, we’ll clean them up and bring them over!”

Zhang Xueming had come to a realization! He couldn’t just rely on Zhang Li to help him spread the word and recruit people. He needed to do it himself!

“Understood!” Came the order.

With Zhang Xueming’s command, the bandits in the Northeast provinces were doomed!

The Imperial Guard Cavalry had the special effect First Army, which meant that all ammunition was supplied by the system. With this attribute, they didn’t hesitate to use any bullets. Whenever they encountered bandit strongholds, they unleashed a storm of bullets.

If the bandits surrendered, at least they could leave a whole body. If they resisted, they would call in artillery support, with the 82mm rapid-fire cannons firing at full power, showering them with fire!

After the system upgrade, Zhang Xueming’s Imperial Guard Cavalry was not only well-equipped, but the soldiers were also highly skilled. The artillery could even be used like sniper cannons.

Once the artillery was in position, they’d start targeting every little fortification of the bandit stronghold. And since the system provided the ammunition, they could fire relentlessly, often reducing a bandit stronghold to rubble, leaving no bodies behind.

By morning, some bandit strongholds would be completely flattened, and no intact corpses could be found. They would be completely wiped out.

In no time, the name “The Living Devil” Zhang Xueming spread throughout the Northeast. All the bandit groups trembled in fear, and the roving horse bandits scattered in all directions, either fleeing to other provinces or hiding deep in the mountains.

However, while Zhang Xueming was bloodily sweeping through the land outside, inside Fengtian City, Zhang Zuolin was left dumbfounded.

He had expected armed parades, but Zhang Xueming had actually gone out to fight bandits for real! Moreover, he had been receiving daily reports from Ma Maoxun about Zhang Xueming’s movements, but the moment he left the city, all communication stopped!

After all, Ma Maoxun had been his close attendant for over thirty years. Surely, he couldn’t have… betrayed him, right?

Zhang Zuolin was completely confused.

“No, something’s wrong! Damn it, why do I feel like something is off?”
