Chapter 1024: The Governor's Team is Born
Good news?
Xianfeng was stunned first.
All along, the good news is so far away, except for the accession to the throne and becoming the emperor, if that thing can barely be counted, it seems that I have not heard it in the future.
After entering this battlefield, there is bad news almost every day.
That's really "no news is good news".
Xianfeng now doesn't hear one or two bad news every day, and he really feels abnormal.
When you don't hear bad news, your thinking must go in this direction - no bad news yet? I guess it's accumulating and becoming a bigger bad news, right?
Those generals of the defeated army knew that even if there was any good news, it had nothing to do with them, because they had no soldiers, and they had no part in the opportunity to make good news, and they were all really powerless.
There was only one governor, and he was not as completely defeated as the other five governors, and that was the governor of Gyeonggi, or the governor of Zhili, so he stood up and asked, "Tell me what the good news is?"
It's like a child seeing candy and being full of hope.
The point is that everyone needs good news right now.
This was good news for the Setters, too.
He didn't expect that the third death order, which he had scoffed at, would have such a great effect.
According to his original imagination, even if someone came, there would be only two or three kittens and dogs.
Now, according to the reports of the 150 envoys, only about five have found nothing, and their reasons are all related to border security.
At this point, the leaders are in favor of them, and these places should not be visited at all.
If they come, the borders will be empty, even if this side can win. The invaders over there take advantage of the situation, and what is the use of winning here?
However, the Regent didn't care about these things, and he summed up the results of the other one hundred and thirty-five black-clothed emissaries, and the total number of them was about more than ten million!
And that's the number of people who's been gathered so far. Maybe the number behind is not large, but this mobilization continues! They will continue to drive to the front in the way of follow-up troops!
In this case, it is necessary to organize carefully and give full play to their role!
Only evenly matched battles can guarantee the maximum number of dead, and the more dead people, the fewer those who may be saved?
It was one thing that the Regent had changed in this regard, and on the other hand he had readjusted his understanding of these people.
It turned out that he descended from the emperor onwards, and they all looked down on him.
Now it seems. Not only was the emperor right in this death order, but the local hunting officials were also able to look far-sighted, not just like he had thought before.
Especially when they think that at the moment of crisis, the strength and fighting spirit that burst out are much higher than usual!
He listened to the report of Snake 351, saying that the team he brought from Shengjing had run 360 miles in one day!
It was originally scheduled to be a 10-day journey. They estimated it would be there in eight days!
In this way, the army that arrived in ten days reached six million!
Reinforcements that have now gathered outside the encirclement of the Celestial Army. In fact, it has already reached one and a half million.
With these realizations, he greatly changed his contempt for the Manchu emperor and high-ranking officials, so he put it into action, that is, he was willing to share the news with everyone, and not only that, but also showed a smiling face for the first time.
"Okay! I'll tell you about the emperor's recent order. I sent out my men to preach the holy decree, and now it has come to fruition. ”
"What's the result?" everyone asked in unison, all of them good listeners.
"The result is the good news I want to tell! Except for a few who did not succeed, one hundred and thirty-five people succeeded!"
"Is this the good news?" Xianfeng asked, "Doesn't that mean anything? The key is to have people, money, and food!"
"Yes! Their success is the foundation, and now I'll tell you what the specific takeaways are!"
And all the people listened.
In addition to the focus on the provinces of Honam, Mukden, and Gyeonggi, a general total is given.
"Now we have recruited at least 10 million fighters!"
"What! 10 million, is it wrong?" everyone asked.
"That's right, it's 10 million, maybe even 20 million, if in doubt, we can count the ...... of each family" Regent's smile widened.
"Don't count them, let's talk about how to arrange them. Xianfeng interjected, and he was also smiling brightly.
This is great news, even the biggest good news.
He didn't expect that his holy decree would be so powerful at this time!
This made him feel good and his confidence was greatly boosted.
He has always seemed to understand the reasons for the victory or defeat of the war, but he has an intuitive understanding that more people will win than few people.
This reinforcement came with 10 million, which must be much more than the Celestial Army, and the heap will also pile them to death!
Even the governors of the defeated army were now relaxed.
Qi Shan said loudly: "If there are tens of millions of troops in hand, I will build a coalition of the inside and the outside, and surround all these so-called heavenly armies, and stew them in one pot!" He has always been worried about the defeat of the cavalry.
Xu Guangjin muttered: "I'm afraid things are not so simple! The victory of the Heavenly Army does not depend entirely on the strength of the people! They sometimes gather more people to work together out of the consideration of fewer deaths, not only will there be fewer deaths, but we will also die less; do you think that this 10 million can really be used for 10 million people?"
These words were like pouring a basin of cold water on everyone's heads, and in an instant, everyone's confidence swelled according to the terrifying figure of 10 million cooled.
Especially those defeated governors, when they contact their own experiences, they can't help but shiver!
It seems that there are few people, and there is no chance of victory against the Heavenly Army!
The emperor himself, as well as the regent spirit, remembered that "ten to sixty years old" age stage, and the original self-confidence fell down.
Yes, the first two desperate plans have exhausted all the people in the backbone age stage, and this time the people who are concentrated, in terms of the main body, are either young or high!
If you use them as young and strong soldiers, you won't know how to die when the time comes!
What's more, they are all experienced and young elite of the Heavenly Army, and what is even more worrying is that they are the ones who defeated the Manchu soldiers in their prime, will it be very difficult to deal with those old and weak soldiers?
I guess the most reasonable ending is easier to deal with, right?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is no reason to be so proud, so let's honestly return to reality.
After returning to reality, I realized that these 10 million reinforcements did not guarantee their victory.
The real value is to change everyone's failure situation, if everyone cheers up and plays the best level, it will provide the foundation and conditions for everyone, and the heavenly army has to fight!
That is to say, Xu Guangjin's old success at the critical moment was serious, so that everyone could calm down, be able to see the situation of the heavenly army more objectively, and see themselves more clearly; and then on this basis, calmly think about the problem and put forward a combat plan for the next period of time.
Lu Jianying, Governor of Liangjiang and Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Group Army, said slowly: "Ten million people, who can be used in a centralized manner, have a common direction, have a clear goal, and have a unified leadership, that is 10 million!"
"If it weren't for these, it would be nothing more than a plate of loose sand! With the current state of the Heavenly Army, they can cleanly destroy more than a million of our elites, and several of our governors here are witnesses, and if they know how strong they are, they will definitely be able to destroy 10 million rabble!
"And I promise, not as much effort as it used to be!
"Therefore, I am very strict in my construction, and we must establish a very authoritative leadership body on these people to lead and direct them!"
Several other governors, including the governor of Zhili, said at the same time: "I completely agree!"
Of course, Xianfeng and Regent would not object, because this matter is so clear at a glance.
With a unified leadership, it is necessary to rely on various correct steps and conditions, but without a unified leadership body, it is impossible for other teams, even teams, to achieve good results.
So, after some discussion, it was decided to form a team of governors, including five governors.
Qi Shan, Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Group Army.
Cheng Zhicai, Governor of Huguang, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Group Army.
Lu Jianying, Governor of Liangjiang, Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Group Army.
Yang Dianbang, Governor of Caoyun, Commander-in-Chief of Naval Shipping.
Xu Guangjin, Governor of Liangguang and Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Group Army.
Cheng was appointed as the chief governor, and the other four governors were organized and coordinated.
The other four governors, except for Yang Dianbang, the governor of Caoyun, who was in charge of the sailors and was responsible for transporting soldiers, money and food, the other three governors divided the reinforcements from all over the country into three and placed them under their jurisdiction.
In order to ensure that the order is forbidden, each governor is assigned a law enforcement team led by a master of Ouchi, and each governor has the right to kill his subordinates, including the governor, before playing!
In addition to these people, the emperor also appointed a military governor, that is, a presidential decree for all armies.
This is the military president of the original Northwest Group Army, the eldest son of Seng Gelinqin, Boyan Nemohu.
Defeated by Hu Yihuang last time, his cousin is much better than that governor Qi Shan!
Naturally, he was favored and reused by Xianfeng, so this time he was appointed as the military governor.
In addition, all the cavalry in the reinforcements were transferred to his command to form a large-scale mobile force.
In line with the composition of this Governor's team, the rest of the Governors, who were still fighting against the Celestial Army in their original army, also formed another Governor's team, and their leader was the Sixth Master.
The general dispatch is still the regent, he is above the emperor, and everyone is responsible for the emperor, but it is realized through the specific coordination of the regent.
