The Ninth Master was full of confidence in conquering the Imperial Army, although his greatest contribution to the Imperial Army was that his great-great-grandson was the founder of the Imperial Army.

Training, the ninth grandfather has participated, but he is an old man, who dares to drink to the grandfather of Wei? Don't you want to get mixed up in the Imperial Army?

Well, the Ninth Master has also fought. When the southern capital was against the three-way encirclement and suppression, the ninth prince sat in Liyang County, and personally led people to clean up the battlefield after the war, and was recorded as a third-class meritorious service.

Therefore, whether it is qualifications or actual combat experience, the ninth master is well-deserved as the commander of the first brigade of this garrison division, and he is also able to serve the public.

It's just that the Ninth Master himself is a little unwilling, or unconvinced. He felt that with his old man's qualifications, he had to be a division commander.

Why did the division commander ask him to do Guo Qizi?

Old lady, when I was mixed up back then, when you Guo Qi saw the old lady, I didn't look like a grandson? Now, yesterday, the pheasant flew up the tree and wanted to become a phoenix?

There are no doors!

You Guo Qi leper doesn't pee and smell it, is this imperial army surnamed Wei, or surnamed Guo!

Holding his breath in his heart, the Ninth Master didn't take Guo Qilezi as the division commander in his eyes, so the second nerd originally asked Guo Qilezi to be in charge of the Taipei Defense's offensive, but after the Ninth Master heard about it, he slapped the table and snatched this task.

Nothing else, the Ninth Master just wants to tell the second nerd to see which one is more powerful, he or Guo Qi's leper!

Father-in-law Wei is good, but he actually has a headache, on one side is his ninth grandfather, and on the other side is his seventh uncle and grandfather, which is not easy to offend. Fortunately, the seventh uncle and grandfather were very considerate of the difficulties of his nephew and grandson, and consciously stayed on the side of the Zhongzuo Institute and said that he would be responsible for the follow-up of the second brigade to supplement the coming to Taiwan, so there was no joke that the division commander and the brigade commander scolded their mother on the street.

As for whether the Ninth Master can successfully complete the task, Gonggong Wei is also confident.

The source of confidence is not that the ninth prince is old and has seen a lot of things, but that the backbone of the officers and soldiers of the first brigade is the Suning children and the Liaodong surrenderers, as well as the original Nandu soldiers and the three major battalions, and the weapons and equipment are very good, and the first brigade under its jurisdiction is equipped with flintlock guns.

Such a well-equipped army, of course, cannot be compared with the Guards Division, but it is used to deal with raw weapons that only have primitive weapons, and may even only have bamboo guns and arrows, and it is not a matter of being able to capture it?

A more important point is that the terrain of the thousands of households under the jurisdiction of the Taipei Wei is mainly plains, and the mountainous area is much less than that of Taichung and Tainan, which is suitable for the imperial army to carry out operations.

"Master, the Double 11 Pioneer Drop, you are bothered!"

It didn't take long for Grandpa Wei to personally send the Ninth Master and the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade to fight in the north, and it didn't take long for him to hear that the Ninth Master and the officers and soldiers said that the battle would end before the end of the year, and that the officers and soldiers of the brigade would go to Taipei for the New Year.

.........

Strictly speaking, the Ninth Emperor has not led troops to fight, but the Ninth Master does not think that his family is not the material for leading soldiers, he believes that leading troops to fight is the fine tradition of the old Wei family, otherwise his great-nephew and great-grandson would have been able to lead the imperial army to the east and west yesterday.

As the old saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Although his own bones are old, he can still take a handful of two nerds!

The first target of the ninth master is Pingpufan, this Pingpu is very bad, if you don't take the initiative to return to obedience, how can you kill the envoy of the imperial army!

In order to make an example of the hundreds, the Ninth Lady personally commanded and transferred more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the two brigades of the First Wing, with the cooperation of the security teams of Xinsanxiang and Xinsixiang, to launch a lightning-fast attack on Pingpufan, which had a population of only more than 3,000.

The captain of the first wing is Ma Wenqing, the cousin of Wei's father-in-law. The captain of the first brigade was Xu Xing, the former general of the Wei State Mansion, and the captain of the second brigade was Matsumotooka, the former commander of the first army of the Japanese invasion of Korea.

Don't look at the Ninth Master and Guo Qizi, the head of the Bird Division, but he pays special attention to listening to the suggestions of "capable people". Therefore, Xu Xing and Matsumotooka, who have actual combat experience and service experience in the army, are very valued by the Ninth Master, and Ma Wenqing also attaches great importance to the two captains under him.

The chief of staff of the brigade was Lu Jianrong, the former commander of the Wusongshui Battalion, and was later transferred to the staff department to be Jiang Xifeng's subordinate. After Gonggong Wei formally established the staff system, this Lu Jianrong was assigned to the First Brigade as chief of staff.

Lu Jianrong was responsible for his duties, and before the war, he fully listened to the information of the local Han people and the new Han people on Zhu Shengfan, and formulated a battle plan in combination with the direction of the First Brigade and the allocation of officers and soldiers. That is, to concentrate troops to first eliminate the Bunon, Zou and other Shengfan tribes with small tribal populations, and then attack the Pingpu, Taroko and other tribes with larger populations.

In this way, on the one hand, the officers and men of the brigade and regiment can be trained in actual combat, and on the other hand, the casualties can be minimized. In addition, the subsequent war can be maintained by capture, and there is no need to worry about the interruption of grain and grass supply.

This is a steady plan, after all, there are too many new recruits for the officers and men of the First Brigade, and only less than 3,000 can really be used in the war. In the supply of grain and grass, the imperial army currently mainly relies on the combined fleet to transport from the left to the left, which consumes a lot of money. Before the complete occupation of Taiwan, Gonggong Wei forbade the imperial army to levy grain from the Han and New Han people.

In this way, feeding the war with war has become a practical plan for the imperial army's combat operations.

The Ninth Emperor opposed this plan, he proposed to capture the thief and capture the king first, and the first brigade must first concentrate superior forces to eliminate several large tribes with a large number of people, so that the remaining small tribes will feel the horror of the imperial army, and then come to Shun, so as to shorten the pacification time of Taipei Wei Zhufan.

"If Your Excellency insists on doing so, then I will obey it completely!"

When Lu Jianrong was in the General Staff, he often came into contact with Gonggong Wei, and over time, he had some "daily chemistry" in terms of language. As Chief of Staff, his duty is to provide His Excellency the Brigade Commander with the best combat plan, but if His Excellency the Brigade Commander does not agree with this plan, he can only implement the deployment of His Excellency the Brigade Commander to the best of his ability.

"Loyalty!"

The Ninth Master knocked the big cigarette pouch in his hand, and the officers immediately stood up and stretched out their right arms in unison: "Loyalty!" ”

On the same day, a plan for attacking the Pingpu people was drawn up, and then the First Wing was quickly dispatched to the Pingpu people's settlement more than 60 miles away at night with the cooperation of the security teams of Xinsanxiang and Xinsixiang.
