Chapter 168: Suining Independent Regiment
"As a Ming courtier, a warrior, the Marquis of Nanyang stained his enemy with blood, and fought for his country until the last moment, which can be regarded as a death as he wished!"
Lin Xiao sighed lightly, but after a while, his eyes flashed cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Although he was killed by Sun Kewang, this account still has to be counted on the head of the Tartar." ”
"Today's battle not only won Suining, but also killed thousands of Tartars, and the brothers were all killed, which can be regarded as avenging the Marquis of Nanyang!" Zhang Meng was still immersed in the joy of victory.
"What is a little Suining?"
Lin Xiao waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "Aren't you going to join my army?" Yes, but you have to promise me two conditions, I wonder if you are willing? ”
"Commander-in-chief, but please command, we will obey the order." Chu Fang replied without thinking.
"You have already seen the military appearance and military discipline and combat effectiveness of our soldiers, the purpose of our army is to be the people's soldiers, to do nothing to the people, military discipline must be put in the first place, the army without military discipline is a group of rabble, it will not be a big thing."
Since the big boss is happy, Lin Xiao also said straightforwardly, "Therefore, the first condition is that your department must receive the same training, otherwise everything will not be discussed." ”
"And rightfully so!"
Before the three Dharma Protector brothers could speak, Chu Fang blurted out again.
Unlike the other three big bosses, she is literate and hyphenated, and she completely agrees with what Lin Xiao said, so she responded without hesitation.
"That's good, I've already thought of the number, you can play the banner of the Suining Independent Regiment of the Captive Army, and the internal number is the Third Independent Regiment, so good?"
Independent regiment and second regiment, Lin Xiao already has a heart, so he can only give the third regiment a number.
"Good!"
This time, the rest of the people also spoke in unison, giving the establishment of an independent regiment, wouldn't it be on an equal footing with Lord Zhu in the future, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
"The instructor of the whole training, I have asked the head of the regiment to send it on his behalf, but the big war is imminent, and your department can only train while fighting at the moment."
Lin Xiao changed his words and said in a deep voice:
"The second condition is that your subordinates must not shrink in Suining City to be the king of the mountain, after all, this is a small place, and the soldiers, money and food are not abundant, and you must go out in order to strengthen yourself."
"When the training is over, your unit has learned to use muskets, and the newly made firearms can also be in place at that time.
"Okay!"
This time, it was Zhang Meng and Zuo Wenzhao's turn to take the lead in speaking, and fighting and killing Tartars was the most to their liking.
Lin Xiao looked at Chu Fang and Yuan Zuocai, and when he saw that they were also nodding frequently, he said loudly:
"Okay, then I will now officially announce the appointment, Chu Da is in charge, and he will be the head of the Third Independent Regiment of the Captive Army!"
"Yes!"
Chu Fang glanced at Zhu Yu Jia, and responded with a proud expression.
"appoint Yuan Er as the deputy head of the regiment; Zhang Meng and Zuo Wenzhao are temporarily serving as the commanders of the first and second battalions respectively! ”
This time, Lin Xiao's tone was undoubtedly imperative, but it was no longer negotiating.
"Order!"
The third and fourth elders arched their hands and answered loudly.
Lin Xiao's face straightened, and he stepped forward and returned a military salute, and then said solemnly:
"I'll put the ugly things in front of you, after you join the gang, you will be the official officers and soldiers, and the ordnance and food will be uniformly distributed by the headquarters for the time being, so not only must you not disturb the people everywhere, but you must also properly settle them...... The officers and men of my team are equal, no one has any privileges, anyone who violates military discipline must be punished, and there are many other rules, you will know after the training, can you do it? ”
"Yes!"
The four of them hurriedly drew a scoop according to the gourd, saluted like Lin Xiao, and responded in unison.
"Okay, now, let's talk about this counteroffensive campaign."
Lin Xiao led everyone to the map, pointed to a certain point on the map, and said, "Your next battle is here." ”
"Maoping?"
Chu Fang sighed in surprise, although she didn't know how to read the map, she knew every word, and she had been to Maoping Town, Chengbu County, which was also inhabited by Miao people, countless times, so she was naturally very familiar.
"Yes, before, I didn't let the special combat team show up, and I also ordered to secretly and deliberately let some Qing soldiers go, now everyone should know my intentions, right?"
"It is to let them run back to deliver the letter, so that the Tartar named Tunqi believes that it was just a group of bandits who scared him away, according to the arrogance that the Tartar has always had, can he be willing?"
Zhu Yujia on the side saw that everyone was still a little confused, and hurriedly explained that through the interrogation of the prisoners, he had learned the name of the main general who had slipped through the Qing army.
"You mean, they dare to kill them back?"
Chu Fang raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Yujia, and said in disbelief.
"He will dare to come, and even if he doesn't, his superiors will urge him to come, because, occupying here, their established battle plan."
Lin Xiao said lightly.
"In order to cooperate with the attack of the Qing army on the Western Road, they must seal this net entrance, and I don't need to explain the reason, right?"
This time, everyone understood, Suining and Jingzhou, although they are located in remote areas, but if they want to completely suffocate the Ming army and leave such a big loophole, there is obviously a trouble.
"I think, what is the name of Qi, within a few days, he will directly transfer troops from Wugang and even Yongzhou and come to Suining again. And there will be more people coming this time, because his target is here - Jingzhou. ”
Lin Xiao pointed to the map and continued: "And Maoping is the place where they must pass, from here to the west over Xuefeng Mountain, it is the boundary of Suining, where the terrain, Commander Chu should be more familiar than me, is it surrounded by mountains and very narrow?" ”
"Yes, there is Yuecheng Mountain in the east, Xuefeng Mountain in the west, Wugang Prefecture in the north, and Chengbu County in the south is far away in the deep mountains of the vast Nanling, Maoling Town is a small flat land in the middle, and when you enter Xuefeng Mountain, it is full of rugged trails, which is a good place for ambushes."
Although Chu Fang didn't understand the map very well, he also knew a lot about strategy when marching and fighting, and he understood Lin Xiao's meaning at once.
Lin Xiao nodded approvingly and said:
"Therefore, early yesterday morning, the herald of the commander of the regiment went to Jeonju to transfer troops, and it is expected that the ambush troops will arrive there tomorrow to set up positions...... Therefore, you only have half a day to rest in Suining City, and tomorrow morning, the main force will be pulled out, this is already the rear, and it is enough to leave three hundred people to maintain order. ”
"Of course, in this battle, you are mainly responsible for cooperating, mainly cleaning the battlefield and containing prisoners, ambush warfare, you have your own head Zhu in charge, is there a problem?"
"Nope!"
"Obey!"
The crowd answered.
"Okay, after the war, you need to recruit and expand the army, there are a lot of poor Miao people there, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
"No problem."
Chu Fang replied confidently, paused, but said with a solemn face: "Commander-in-chief, after we recovered this area, there is a very tricky matter, this area is all mountainous, and there is too little arable land to support people...... In the past, it was possible to rely on the production of tea trees and fruit trees planted on the slopes of the mountains, and go down the mountain to exchange some grain, oil and salt, but after the war, it was difficult to exchange these things for food. Let's just say Suining, now the people are drinking gruel every day to live, this time the recovery and the Tartar military food burned all, although there is still some food in the cottage, but to help the people stabilize people's hearts, after all, it is a drop in the bucket. ”
Lin Xiao listened and quietly looked at the newly appointed head of the regiment, and felt that this heroine was not simple, and before the battle was fought, he was already thinking about the problem of people's hearts after the recovery.
It seems that this woman is still an expert in governance, and she is really a talented person from all generations!
