Chapter 342 Reincarnated Grass and Wood Soldiers Again
Xiaozhuang's unique vision not only made the people respectful, but even the traitors were even more moved! If the Manchurians slipped away alone, the fate of these traitors would be very miserable.
This is the third rise of Xiaozhuang, and the princes are also old and frail, and no one can threaten her position in the future.
……
The war was over, and the Han army began to recuperate, but the entire Yanhuang Empire became more and more busy. The war lasted for more than half a year, doubling the land and population of the empire.
Guangzhou Imperial Palace.
Chen Dong, the general staff officer of the military department, said happily: "My lord, this is Chen Nan's general meeting. ”
Chen Xiong was relieved when he saw Chen Nan's face, and it seemed that this last battle was also going well.
After reading the report of the Northwest Group Army, Chen Xiong nodded: "Okay!" The armies did not disappoint the deity! This war is over! ”
After the war in the Northwest and Western Regions, the native Han army has grown.
The war in the Western Regions is over~ Wu Jiu is also relaxed! The Northwest Army almost didn't drain the empire's supplies, and the consumption and manpower on the road alone was a headache.
The materials are shipped from Guangzhou to the mouth of the Huai'an River, before entering the Yellow River, and then through Guanzhong, Xiliang, and Hexi corridors and then into Turpan! Fortunately, it is only a supply of hundreds of thousands of troops, otherwise it would be difficult to transport even many war cattle.
"My lord! The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, so let's try to reduce the war in the Western Regions in the past two years! "There are also two fierce ancient khanates in the Western Regions, and their territory is also very large! Wu Jiuke didn't want the operation of the empire to be dragged down by the Western Regions.
Chen Xiong also smiled bitterly: "Today's road is too difficult to walk!" It is true that when the railway was not repaired to Turpan, it should no longer take the initiative to attack. ”
Originally, he planned to teach Turpan a lesson, but he didn't expect Turpan to dare to send troops to find death.
"The Emperor is wise." Wu Jiu was also relieved, and the lord did not insist on going his own way.
If there is nothing special, Wu Jiu will retreat, and he usually comes to report to the emperor every other day.
"Chen Dong asked Li Ke to come over."
Chen Dong's face moved: "Respect the order." ”
After asking people to pass the order, Chen Dong said: "Is the lord planning to expand the army?" ”
"That's right! The Qinghai region northwest of Turpan is bitterly cold, and it is difficult for the soldiers to adapt! In the long run, the combat effectiveness will decrease. ”
History proves that with the passage of time, the strong border armies will slowly lose their combat effectiveness due to regional reasons, which is also a common disease that the Central Plains court cannot cure.
Chen Xiong also knew that this was human nature, let him stay in a place he didn't like, not to mention that he was unhappy, and he would be resentful after a long time.
In the Northwest Rebellion during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the armies on all sides did not contribute to the work, and some people even joined the rebellion. In the end, the imperial court could only send troops into the northwest, and then the war was pacified, but the soldiers who went out were also left in the northwest, and it was difficult to return to their hometown for the rest of their lives. Until Li Zicheng made a rebellion, the descendants of these Central Plains soldiers and southern soldiers enthusiastically followed.
"It's better to let the pro-soldiers replace them! Not to mention that they are not adaptable, they have even saved a lot of supplies. Chen Dong naturally did not disagree, and said that the morale of the Hanbei Army stationed in Xiliang is also very low now.
The more Chen Xiong thought about it, the more serious he became, and it seemed that it was necessary to change his guard as soon as possible. Let the southerners in Hebei and Guanzhong reluctantly accept it, so it is difficult to give up this is the root disease of the Han people. Even Chen Xiong was reluctant to move the capital away from the Lingnan region, saying that it was more suitable to be in the north and south of the Yangtze River.
It didn't take long for Li Ke to arrive.
"My lord."
"Okay, don't hurry to sit down and have a sip of tea first." Chen Xiong was a little anxious, but Li Ke also needed to take a breath when he hurried over.
After a few breaths, Li Ke took the initiative to say after putting down the teacup: "Is the lord going to ask about the inventory of the grass and wood soldiers?" ”
Chen Xiong nodded: "It's time to expand the army in a vast area, after all, it is more reassuring to be pro-army." ”
If you have nothing to do, the lord won't look for him, and when he looks for him, it's mostly because of the grass and wood soldiers. Li Ke hurriedly said: "With the steam engine put into use, the lord has a total of 90,000 stone men and heavy cavalry, 60,000 musketeers, and 10,000 artillerymen. ”
Chen Xiong nodded with satisfaction: no more, no less, 160,000 people are barely enough. "By the way, enough firecrackers?"
Li Ke immediately replied: "Lord, please rest assured, the inventory of Chongzhen firecrackers is only a lot more, and there are also 20,000 Yanhuang muskets. ”
Chen Xiong thought deeply and looked at Chen Nan: "You can inform the Northwest Group Army to prepare to hand over the border defense, and as soon as the soldiers arrive, they will be given a long vacation for the New Year." ”
"Honorable Order." Chen Dong was also anxious, and immediately stood up and said goodbye.
Chen Xiong also stood up, but he didn't go back to see the baby.
"Li Ke, let's go to the pro-soldier city."
The city is close to the imperial palace, and the walls are not high or thick, only a thin three-meter-high wall. The main thing in the pro-soldier city is to store firearms and grass and wood models, and of course, explosives and ammunition are also stored in the munitions town.
In the pro-soldier city, there are large warehouses made of cement and steel bars, standing or placing dense models. Most of them are humanoids and cow and horse models, and there are some bird models.
The dense model made Chen Xiong also smile secretly: Fortunately, it was daytime, and he didn't dare to come over at night. Countless models, even the eyeballs are exquisite, and even the stomach has a module of the digestive system. And because of the digestive system, these models can be reincarnated together to give birth to the digestive system. There is no need to slowly replenish energy for a month to regenerate the organs, and of course, it will also consume more life energy.
The war and occupation of the Northwest Army brought a large number of ghast fragments to Chen Xiong. Some are the ghasts of the previous war, and some are killed by the Han army.
160,000 reincarnated soldiers, 100,000 heavy horses, and 40,000 war oxen, it took three hours. Fortunately, Chen Xiong's body has adapted to the radiation impact of energy, and there will be no more prostration.
The reincarnation of 300,000 soldiers and horses and war bulls also left not much of Chen Xiong's ghast fragments.
The reincarnated soldier slowly opened his eyes, and Chen Xiong immediately told them not to make a sound. Otherwise, more than 100,000 people suddenly shouted, and there were hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses, which not only broke their ears but also frightened the princess and prince in the palace.
"Lord!" Although there was no sound, more than 100,000 people saluted one after another, and then the cattle and horses also bowed their heads and saluted.
Their commanders were ready, and they were the three most distinguished military men in the third batch.
Most of the third batch of silvermen were surnamed Zhu, which was the surname of Emperor Changping. It just so happened that the three silver people were all surnamed Zhu, and they also had their own names.
However, Chen Xiong planned to name them personally, he looked at the first silver man on his left hand and said: "The deity has renamed you, and your department is guarding Turpan for the new land, and the name is Zhu Xin." ”
Zhu Xin immediately saluted: "Thank you, lord." ”
The name is just a code name, and it is their honor to let the emperor choose a name.
Chen Xiong looked at the second silver student and said, "Your department is guarding the Qinghai Plateau, and it is solid as Zhu Yuan. ”
"Thank you, Lord." It can be seen that Zhu Yuan also likes this name.
The third silver man was also happy, and now there are not many people who can name the emperor.
"Your department is stationed in Liangzhou Wei Ce Ying First and Second Border Army, and is also responsible for the situation on the border of the Three Guards of Western Xia, and it is solid as Zhu Zhen." Liangzhou Weijin is mighty, it is the starting point of the Hexi Corridor, and it is also close to Xixia and Xining, and it can return to Pingliang City, where the Western Governor's Mansion is located.
"Emperor Xie." Zhu Zhen's heart moved, he felt that Liangzhou Wei was the top priority.
Zhu Xin, Zhu Yuan, and Zhu Zhen, three simple names, but in the future, they are one of the brightest generals in the empire.
