Chapter IX Inclusion and Expansion

When Wang Shishi heard Liu Xia's words, his eyes suddenly turned red, as a soldier, it is really rare to have such a good general, so he swallowed the voice that wanted to cry hard, and said to Liu Xia: "It's a general, the last general will go."

In this troubled world, many people may not even have a place to bury when they die, and at this time, the court of the Han people is still singing and dancing, how ironic.

Liu Xia arranged for all the soldiers to rest and prepare the most adequate physical strength. Next, Liu Xia planned to quickly collect the remnants, judging from the situation in the past few days, there are still many remnants hiding everywhere in Yangzhou City, and if even if they collect some of them, there will be a lot.

Liu Xia is not in a hurry to kill those Tartars in the city now, because at this time Liu Xia has a more daring plan, according to Liu Xia got part of the news and his own inference, at this time the Tartars are basically burning and looting in the city, and they are all enjoying, so the grain and grass, cannons and war horses they transported from the war are outside the city at this time, and the guards except for a small part of the Tartars, are all Han people who surrendered, and now there is no force in the entire Jiangbei that dares to fight with Duoduo, and the city of Nanjing is even more precarious. So Duoduo was also bold at this time.

At this time, Liu Xia felt that he could attack the grain and grass of the Tartars, cannons and war horses, if their grain and grass were on fire, and then the war horses would be killed, this group of Tartars would definitely come out of the city, and then he and others would ride the war horses of the Tartars, delaying the Tartars for a while, and the people in the city could take advantage of this time to escape, even if they could not escape far, as long as they escaped from Yangzhou City, they would have a way to live, although they might be surrounded by such a Tartar, but Liu Xia thought to himself that he had the speed of a war horse, and the two legs of this Tartar could not chase after him. There should be no problem in escaping, and Liu Xia feels that his idea is very feasible.

Although this idea is really bold, as long as a thousand people are gathered, then Liu Xia is sure of success, but after he finishes this thing, where should he go? Now that most of the territory has fallen into the hands of the Tartars, and now they are still trapped in Yangzhou City, the news outside is not too clear, so I can only think about it after I go out, where in this world I Liu Xia can't go?

At this time, Na Duoduo was in a luxurious mansion in Yangzhou City, which was not only large, but also beautiful, and had not yet been contaminated with much blood. Duoduo sat in a living room in this house, and there was a delicate Han woman sitting on her lap, this Han woman kept teasing Duoduo's love and desire, and Duoduo was even more uncomfortable with the woman.

On either side of this living room sat more than a dozen Ming Dynasty surrender generals, Beile, and Beizi in luxurious clothes. There are also all kinds of beauties in their arms next to them, although those beauties have a painful look on their faces, but they have to keep smiling at the top to please these high-ranking officials of the Qing court who are playing with themselves.

In the middle of the living room, a group of scantily clad dancers were dancing. Music sounded in the hall, and all kinds of fine wine disappeared from the mouths of these Tartars, while the Tartars were celebrating the capture of the city of Yangzhou, and Duoduo took out the snatched woman for everyone's lewd pleasure. Some Baylors, Beizi, took off their pants on the spot and pressed the beautiful woman in their arms on their bodies to exercise.

These women were either famous prostitutes in Yangzhou City or the wives and concubines of officials, and children. Now that they have fallen to this point, they are allowed to be lustful, and there is no one to pity them for pain or not, they are just a bunch of toys for venting and desire, and they are thrown away when they run out of use.

"General, general, those horses have been made into jerky, with this meat, our food can last for five or six days" Wang En walked into the house from outside and said to Jing Xiao.

After Liu Xia heard this, he ordered the guards to find the captains, and the guards got the order and hurriedly walked out.

But in a moment, Liu Dazhuang, Yu Mingjun, Zhang Yuan and Wang Shishi have all come over, everyone saluted Liu Xia, Liu Xia waved his hand, let them go and sit down, and then said: "Everyone, let's change our strategy next, no longer kill the Tartars, while collecting the remnants of the army, we don't have much time, in a few days it is estimated that these Tartars should kill all the people in the city, we need to concentrate the remnants of the army, so that there is still hope of leaving this Yangzhou City."

As soon as Liu Xia finished speaking, Zhang Yuan said: "General, if we don't kill that Tartar, how many people should be killed by them."

Liu Xia replied: "We have no choice but to wait to leave here, develop manpower, let these Tartars pay for their blood debts, and kill them all to pay for the lives of the people of the Han Dynasty."

"General, what should we do now?" Liu Dazhuang said.

Liu Xia Zhengse said: "Yu Mingjun, you lead your scout squadron to start investigating where there are remnants in Yangzhou City, and then report back the number, quality, and leader of the remnants in a timely manner."

Hearing Liu Xia be the first to shout about himself, Yu Mingjun was still very happy, thinking that his scout team was still the most important part, so he said, "Yes, general."

"General, what are we going to do?" Liu Dazhuang asked. His question is also in line with other people's thoughts, and now everyone is not afraid of fighting, because Liu Xia made a system before, according to the bravery of the battlefield commander and the number of enemies killed, to allocate resources, originally Liu Xia's army resources are not too much, which stimulates the fighting enthusiasm of all the soldiers even more. Of course, the gold and silver jewelry has not been sent to everyone by Liu Xia at present, and now these gold and silver jewelry are of no use to them, and they are not as good as two steamed buns.

What are they doing, Liu Xia has already thought about it, "Everyone gathers the remnants, we must gather a big team as soon as possible."

"Yes," everyone said.

*******

Next, Liu Xia and the others began to get busy, the busiest of them was the scout team, now there are more than 20 people in the scout team, which is equivalent to the establishment of two teams. At this time, both teams went out at the same time, and the rest time became very small, and in groups of two, they were divided into ten groups to inquire in different directions.

At this time, Yangzhou City is still very dangerous, the reason why a group of two people is so, if there is any important information, two people encounter the enemy, one can flee immediately, one person drags the enemy. The two of them are together and have a care.

With the continuous coming and going of the scouts, many letters from the places where the remnants of the soldiers were hiding were sent to Liu Xia, there were many and few, there were hundreds of people, and there were only a few people. After gathering those people, Liu Xia went to do ideological work for them, and organized them into his own team, and then continued to collect them.

Of course, there are rules for collecting these remnants, at this time it is impossible for Liu Xia to collect those who are missing arms and legs and those who are seriously injured, it is not that Liu Xia is cruel and does not save them, just because at this time, Liu Xia does not have the ability to help them anymore, Liu Xia's army is to fight with the Tartars, not the intensive care unit.

In this way, the army followed behind the scouts, and the scouts passed the news, and then the army went to collect them, and when they encountered resistance, they were killed directly, and Liu Xia was never soft on this. Some of these remnants are mixed and rotten, and of course there are good ones, and one of them gathers a hundred people, and they burn, kill, and loot the people like Tartars, and do all kinds of evil, just for their own enjoyment. Such a person Liu Xia directly asked his subordinates to cut them all, scum Liu Xia don't want it, a good army must not only be brave in combat, but also have a good discipline, which is a must, only with a good discipline, can the army have unity.

That night, Liu Xia took his main generals to hide in a dilapidated courtyard to discuss matters, due to the expansion of the number of troops, the Qing army has found them, but I don't know the specific number, in order to make the Qing army try not to find them, Liu Xia ordered the army to disperse and hide, of course, there are Liu Xia's loyal people in each team to serve as officials, but at this time they were discovered by the Qing army and had to go.

Now the size of the army has reached 1,300 people, and most of the grassroots officers are more than 100 people from Liu Xia's original time, so Liu Xia firmly controls this army in his hands.

Due to the increase in numbers, Liu Xia updated the army structure, and now the 1,300 soldiers of this army are composed of four battalions and one personal guard. According to the previous establishment, a squadron consisted of 10 people, a squadron consisted of three squadrons with a total of 30 people, a battalion consisted of three squadrons with a total of 90 people, and a battalion consisted of three brigades with 300 people, including an operational team of 270 people and 30 miscellaneous soldiers. And the pro-guard is expanded, with a total of 100 people. Four battalions and a personal guard totaled 1,300 people.

Among them, Wang Shishi is still the captain of the personal guards, although he is only a captain, but none of those battalion commanders dare to underestimate him, after all, the personal guards of those battalion commanders and captains are all sent from him.

The first battalion is the Tiger Battalion, the Tiger Battalion is the most powerful of the four battalions, which are composed of powerful warriors, including two brigades of spearmen and two squadrons of sword and shield soldiers, and a squadron of archers, and the battalion commander is Liu Dazhuang. The deputy battalion commander was Zhang Liang, who was selected from the team of more than 100 people before that.

The second battalion is the wolf howling battalion, which is similar in composition to the tiger camp, of which Zhang Yuan serves as the battalion commander. Liu Xia served as the deputy battalion commander from a big man named Ma Peng, who had been brought in.

The third battalion is the lion battalion, the battalion commander of this team is Niu Hu, this is also what Liu Xia took a fancy to when he closed it, and the deputy battalion commander is Niu Chao is Niu Hu's cousin.

The fourth battalion is a comprehensive battalion, in which Yu Mingjun serves as the battalion commander and Wang En serves as the deputy battalion commander. There were two brigade scouts in this team, and a battalion plus a squadron of logisticians.
