Chapter 1127: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (17)
A map was turned out from a large pile of case files and spread out on the table, and when Ning Xin came over to look at it, it was the map of Shu County of Qin State, which had been marked with charcoal, and it seemed that Gao Yuan had already worked it.
"Shu County, but the country of abundance, a good place!" Patting the map, Gao Yuan sighed and said: "Such a good place can even make the people of the Qin State miserable, and I have to expose it angrily, which is really regrettable and hateful."
"If not, how can we have a chance? If everyone governs the country as you govern the Han Kingdom, then how can we rule the world?" Ning Xin said with a smile.
"That's right!" Gao Yuan touched his nose very proudly, "The Qin State implements a typical centralized county system, but they have very strict control over the city, but for the countryside, it is very bad, in the countryside, they basically still rely on the squire, the clan to maintain the rule, especially in some remote places, the ruling power is even weaker, of course, this weakness is reflected in the local payment of taxes on time and under the responsibility of all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous labor, once there is a problem in this aspect, then their army will appear."
"Treat these ordinary people as cattle and horses!" Ning Xin Dao.
"They saw the people as cattle and horses, so this was our chance." Gao Yuan Zhengse." The Supervision Yuan selects and transfers a group of capable personnel who are familiar with the rural areas to infiltrate these areas, preferably because they were originally Qin people, so that it is not easy to expose flaws, and it is easy to infiltrate these places, guide, and mobilize the peasants in these places to launch uprisings and riots, and establish a base area of our own."
"Base?"
"Oh, it's our territory, of course, we can't let the Qin people know that this is our territory, otherwise they will definitely pounce on it like a mad dog and smash it to pieces." Gao Yuandao.
"Of course I understand this, otherwise why did you keep emphasizing that the person selected was better to be a Qin person? But it's a little narrower." Ning Xin frowned.
"I'm just saying the best, not absolutely, but these selected people must be very familiar with the situation in the Qin State."
"I see." Ning Xin nodded and said, "I'll let Niu Ben take care of this."
"Now the strength of the Qin State has not yet recovered, their main forces are under our control, and the limited forces in the country are concentrated in the prosperous and important places, and the vast countryside is promising! The personnel of the Supervision Yuan will first open up the situation, and then we will send professional soldiers and officials who are familiar with rural work." Speaking of this, Gao Yuan laughed, clenched his fists, and waved in the air, "Let's not be loud, work quietly, accumulate strength little by little, and when the strength is enough, it will burst out with a bang and smash Qin Guo into a daze."
"You mean to raise an army there?"
"Of course." Gao Yuan nodded vigorously.
He Weiyuan's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty, Ye Shangshu asks to see you!"
Hearing that it was Ye Chong, Gao Yuan couldn't help but wonder: "We just met in the morning, it hasn't been long yet, why did Ye Chong come to the door again?" Wei Yuan, please come to the study and wait for me, I'll come over immediately."
"Yes!"
In the study, Ye Chong was holding a military newspaper in his hand, and he was hurriedly walking around the room, and when Gao Yuan stepped into the door, he saw Ye Chong constantly turning in circles in the room.
"What's going on, ants on a hot pot?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the State of Qin and the State of Chu are fighting!" Ye Chong's face was excited, and he handed the military report in his hand to Gao Yuan, "Zhou Yu, who was stationed in Nanyang County, suddenly led the Qin army to attack the Chu State and occupied the important military town of Chu County in one fell swoop, the incident happened suddenly, the Chu State seemed to have no idea that the Qin people would launch an attack at this time, and they were caught off guard, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the entire Sui County were defeated by Zhou Yu after only resisting for three days."
Gao Yuan looked at the military newspaper and was silent.
"Zhang Hongyu thinks that this is a rare opportunity, originally we have been worried that Qin Chu will join forces to deal with us, but now it seems that there is a big problem between them, he has ordered Dongye to enter the first level of combat readiness, and send a military report as quickly as possible, hoping that the military department and Wang Shang will agree to him to launch an attack."
Walked to the map hanging on the wall of the study, "Where does Zhang Hongyu want to fight?"
"Peng Cheng!" Ye Zhong walked to the map and pointed to a place on the map, "If you can take Pengcheng, you can cut Xuzhou off the map of Chu State."
"What is the reason for Qin Chu's sudden friendship? Xu Yuan doesn't have a clue there?"
"According to a speculation from Zhang Hongyu's side, it may be because of the Mao Wei incident." Ye Chongdao: "Didn't the intelligence from the Supervision Yuan say that Mao Wei has been staying in Jiangdong County of Chu since he left the land of the Han Dynasty, and he hasn't left?" This is not normal in itself, this time the Mao Wei incident was led by the Qin people and paid a huge price to succeed, and the Qin people are still continuing to pay the price, the people who monitor the words are crazy and digging their nails, and many secret spies that were hidden deep in the past have also been dug up this time. But Mao Wei has been staying in Jiangdong County and has not gone to Qin, I suspect that Chu has detained Mao Wei and does not want to give it to Qin, Qin people will naturally be mad with anger, Mao Wei is the most critical person they have obtained our gunpowder formula and production secrets, the battle of Kangping City has scared the Qin people, and now they have paid a huge sacrifice to get something, but it was taken by the Chu people, how can they not be angry."
"Is it worth it to destroy the military alliance that they have reached with great difficulty for the sake of a Mao Wei?" Gao Yuan took a breath, "Qin Chu's high-level leaders, would they be so impulsive?"
Ye Zhong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you surprised, you think that gunpowder is not a big deal, not to mention that we have even made a cannon-like cannon now, but in the eyes of the Qin and Chu people, this explosive is already something that should only exist in the sky, not in the world, for him, it is not impossible to turn his face, not to mention, if the Chu people get the gunpowder and the Qin people don't get it, then the Qin State will have to deal with more than us in the future."
"It's also possible." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "A group of frogs at the bottom of the well, how big is the world?" Ye Chong, let Zhang Hongyu move, the military department here supports a batch of ordnance, and they will have to raise their own grain, Wei Di has just experienced the autumn harvest, although the yield per mu there is not as good as here, but there should be no problem in supporting him to fight!"
"Yes!" Ye Chongxi said: "Your Majesty, then I will go back and give Zhang Hongyu an order, let him move, take advantage of the evil relations between Qin and Chu, take Pengcheng, isolate Xuzhou from Chu, and then we will swallow him again."
Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "Give the order."
Suiyang, Sanchuan County, here is the closest county of the Han Kingdom to the Chu State, stationed here is the new formation of the First Army Third Division Dong Zhuang.
The New First Army has not fought for a long time, and for Dong Zhuang, this is an extremely painful thing. Dong Zhuang is a legendary figure in the Han army, this person was originally when Tan Feng, the minister of Yan State, was training the new army, because his family was poor, and he had to leave home to join the army, but his first battle, he was a prisoner of the Eastern Army in Yuyang at that time, and on the way to serve hard labor in the Hetao area, he was escorted by the Han army officer Fu Xiao, selected into his own company, and finally joined the special operations team in the Hetao with Donghu, and made great achievements, in the war with DonghuAt the time of graduation, in order to be able to fight with the Qi army, he was successfully poached by Zhang Hongyu to the new first army, and became the commander of the third division of the new first army.
But in the end, Dong Zhuang still went to the New First Army. Dong Zhuang fought bravely, as the commander of the first division, often rushed to the front line to personally lead the army to charge, although he was repeatedly reprimanded by Zhang Hongyu, but he still did his own thing, but it was precisely because of Dong Zhuang's front, the third division was the most afraid of death in the new army, and Dong Zhuang was also the most popular among the soldiers.
After the end of the battle against Chu, after reorganization, the third division after replenishing the troops was sent to Sanchuan to station, in Zhang Hongyu's view, if there was a war with Chu, Dong Zhuang would be the natural vanguard.
However, after arriving in Sanchuan, the most Dong Zhuang did was to repair the barracks and train the soldiers, rows of neat barracks were erected on the wasteland outside Sanchuan County, and the soldiers bid farewell to the days of living in tents, and the accommodation conditions were greatly improved. The soldiers were quite happy.
In addition to building barracks, Dong Zhuang is training, and his training requirements for soldiers have increased by a full thirty percent compared to the requirements of the infantry drill code of the troops just issued by the Han army, which makes all the soldiers miserable, but Dong Zhuang, as the commander of a division, completes the same subjects every day with all the soldiers, and makes everyone have nothing to say.
"Good!" A large group of soldiers formed a circle, inside, it was Dong Zhuang who was competing with several soldiers, Dong Zhuang, who was tall and tall, was a head taller than ordinary people, with a round waist and broad shoulders, and ordinary people stood behind him, and you couldn't see this person from front of you. The three soldiers dealt with a Dong Zhuang, but there was nothing they could do with Dong Zhuang, and after a moment of stalemate, the three soldiers were thrown to the ground like throwing sacks, and their noses and faces were swollen. Seeing that the division commander was so brave, the soldiers below cheered, you know, these three people who dared to challenge Dong Zhuang were also warriors in the army. With three against one, it was defeated so badly.
"The strength is a little worse, you still have to practice!" Taking the helmet from the guards, Dong Zhuang smiled and walked to the side of the first battalion commander Xie Dong, "I'm going to eat at your place today, and by the way, I'll check your food."
"Yes, Commander!" Xie Dong straightened his waist and said loudly.
(The job has been transferred, leaving the school where I have worked for many years, I am really a little reluctant, and I don't know if I can quickly get started with a new job, a new unit, a new leader, there must be a run-in familiar process, so I dare not ensure the update for this period of time, I try to maintain a consistent update speed, but I also ask the book friends to be considerate of the gunman, just arrived in a new place, you have to give the leader a good image, hehe!)
