When he was about to go, Li Kaiming's heart moved, and he said, "Zhenbang, does the King of Zhongshan have any new news?" ”

Luo Zhenbang grinned and said, "Big boss, it's still old news, that Xu Zi first moved most of all his subordinates, official households, ordinary people, and commercial houses to Dongfan Island, and half to Qizhou, where he built wharves and ports, built commercial houses, and ignored other things, just took care of these miles." ”

"Is there any army coming to Fuzhou from the Eastern Domain?"

"Absolutely not in Fuzhou." Luo Zhenbang packed the ticket and said, "There is Qizhou, the port is backed by mountains and facing the sea, not people from Nan'an Town and several nearby towns, so they can't go up at all." It's really too difficult for our people to go there to get the news. ”

"Dog-like stuff, useless waste." Liu Maoqi was angry when he heard this, raised his whip, and scolded, "Why don't you hurry up and send more manpower to see what the situation is like in the port of Qizhou!" ”

Luo Zhenbang knew that the second cabinet in front of him was plain and easy to talk to, and he could even hold a big blue-rimmed bowl, squatting on the ground and eating and chatting with the soldiers, but when it came to military regulations, one was wrong, whipping and beating the military stick were light, and cutting off the head was also idle. Some of the old battalion soldiers who had violated military discipline were still squatting on the ground with them to eat at the front of the second cabinet, and after noon, they were all arrested by the order of the second cabinet, and they all had their heads cut off.

"Don't embarrass him." Li Kaiming waved his hand and said, "Qizhou Port is full of Zhongshan Wangfu's own people, our people rely on it, and those who dare to really do things are all from our northwest, and those who are temporarily bought off, what can you inquire?" However, I look at the style of King Zhongshan, I'm afraid that he is still trapped in infighting, and he doesn't really take our partnership seriously. ”

Liu Maoqi snorted coldly from his nose and said, "Which of these clan nobles doesn't have eyes on the top of their heads?" That Xu Zixian must have been angry that King Zhao had robbed him of his real power, so he simply ignored the affairs on this side of Fujian Road, brought his men to the Eastern Domain, and lived on his big island. ”

Li Kaiming nodded and said, "What you said is not bad, I guess it's the same." ”

Time has passed, Li Gu and the Pu family have contributed money and grain, weapons and horses, in addition to the ostensible reason for King Zhao to seize the mansion, the internal reason is of course for the Zhao Mansion and the Zhongshan Mansion to compete for power and profit.

Now, even Li Kaiming knows about this matter, and of course he has a relatively clear judgment on this matter.

"It's time to go." Liu Maoqi snorted coldly from his nose again, and said, "These princes of Great Wei are still fighting among themselves, and this Great Wei Dynasty is over." ”

"That's what Mao Qi said." Li Kaiming said very calmly, "If not, how can I get a chance?" Don't say that when it was prosperous a hundred years ago, it was during the reign of Wenzong thirty years ago, or even during the reign of Chengzong, and the rogues like us had already been suppressed. The luck of inviting the heavens, that is, to be able to lurk in the mountains of Jingbei and Henan, be a mountain bandit, and live happily for one or two decades, even if the ancestors are virtuous, the yin spirit is blessed. ”

All the thieves grinned, and Li Kaiming also laughed a few times, and then ordered, "I'll wait to turn back, this battle will be won." ”

In the night, Li Kaiming and others, who were full of ambition, led their horses for a while, and after making sure that they would not be heard by the officers and soldiers in the distance, the group turned over and got on their horses, and everyone beat their horses and whipped their horses one after another, and rushed back to Jianyang to prepare for war.

……

The port of Qizhou has begun to take shape, and after several large ships docked, Xu Xingwei and a group of subordinates hurriedly greeted them.

Xu Xingwei has been officially appointed to the head of the military and political department. The newly recruited soldiers will be approved and registered, and then various benefits will be arranged for the families of military families, and they will be relocated to the Eastern Domain for proper placement, given all kinds of care, and at the same time select qualified meritorious soldiers, give rewards on a per-time basis, and promote some qualified veterans to enter the lecture hall and become reserve officers

Earlier, there were military officials of the Military and Political Department to carry out, after Xu Xingwei took over, the characteristics of meticulous and unafraid of hard work were brought into full play, although he took office for more than a month, the entire Military and Political Department is up and down, and I feel that His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan has found a qualified chief officer for the Division.

Under the Department of Military Affairs, there are five sections, such as merit, demerits, placement, recruitment, and archives, and is also in charge of the daily management of the martial arts hall, and the duties are extremely heavy, only under the Military Orders Department, which is responsible for daily military and political affairs, and the General Staff Department is equally important, such as military law, logistics, military training, and other departments, which cannot be compared with the Military Orders and the Second Military and Political Division.

Everyone admired, but Xu Xingwei did not relax in the slightest.

Since he is in the post of the Secretary of Military Affairs, he will only do his part well, and ignore the rest of the things.

At present, it is almost November, the port is generally formed, new soldiers and horses are recruited, two armies are still in Qizhou, and the rest of the armies have been transported by ships to the Eastern Domain for resettlement and further training.

According to the previous arrangement, Xu Xingwei will send away a battalion of new troops this time, and at the same time send military officials to select qualified new troops and expand the battalion among the new immigrants on the island.

In addition to certain standards, recruitment must also communicate with the Military Orders Department, the Military Training Department, and the Logistics Department, and make arrangements in advance.

The new army of the Zhongshan Prefecture Army is not a long one, even if it is enlisted, military status, family members, barracks, robes, weapons, supporting various utensils, starting from the day of naturalization, including military salaries are calculated, of course, including various benefits and so on.

The affairs of the Military and Political Department are quite cumbersome and cumbersome, and it is also thanks to Xu Xingwei, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood and is a descendant of the clan, that he can do it now, and when the soldiers of the new army are leaving, he is also doing it himself, and he does not entrust things to his subordinates.

There are still a few Fu ships on the sea, all of them have a number number, about a dozen to twenty numbers, the number of the top Fu ship is a big ship, at this time in charge of transporting goods to the Wa country, the Lingzi ship has also been requisitioned a lot, but this kind of ship is small, it can be transported in the Minjiang River, so the small half of the Fu ship, plus the Lingzi cargo, and some small warships, the total number of more than 100 ships, most of them were requisitioned to Qizhou here.

The gray-robed soldiers stood firmly, in the whistle, according to the team, the whistle, the capital, the battalion, and the regiment stood under the flag, the whistle sounded, and then the sailors and soldiers directed the stream, and the soldiers quickly boarded the boats from the trestle in turn, and several boats were quickly filled, and then the sails were raised and the rudder turned, and they went out to sea from the mouth of the river where the torrent was surging.

Xu Xingwei didn't breathe a sigh of relief, the people in the logistics department not far from him, those military officials and military attachés were all in one place, and they were ready to stop.

Towards the end of the year, the Fujian road is also very cold, although the Eastern Domain is not far away, but the climate in the south is quite different from Fuzhou here, the soldiers there are still wearing summer military uniforms, to Qizhou here, but they have to change into winter military jackets.

The people of the Logistics Department have already sent down the military robes of various armies, regiments, and battalions, and many supplies, including weapons, dry food, bacon, beans, carts, various tools, and horses, have long been replenished on the side of the Eastern Domain, which also relieves a lot of pressure here in Qizhou.

Not far to the left of the port, there is a large newly built warehouse area, with more than 200,000 stone of grain and various meats, as well as armor, weapons, bows, arrows, throwing guns and other weapons supplies, all of which are replenished in place, which makes each provincial army have the ability to directly put it on the battlefield after being transferred from the Eastern Domain to Qizhou.

Qizhou is extremely well stocked, a large number of ships are also in place, in addition to supplies along the river, each has an average of 60 miscellaneous horses and mules and donkeys have also been verified, each battalion has five capitals, there are more than 300 miscellaneous horses, mules and donkeys, more than 2,000 miscellaneous horses and mules and donkeys per regiment, and more than 6,000 miscellaneous horses and mules per army

Donkey.

In addition to a large number of carriages and horses, the special baggage battalion also has a large number of carriages and horses, even if there is no Minjiang shipping, the supply can ensure that the army marches more than 60 miles a day.

In front of Xu Xingwei's eyes, a group of government soldiers got off the boat and went ashore, and when they arrived at the shore, they stood solemnly under the military flag.

Seeing this, Xu Xingwei said, "What is the difference between the two government armies? ”

Not far away, a military official replied, "The new army and the old government army are as solemn as the old army, and their postures are similar, but the old government army has its own solemn and murderous atmosphere, which is terrifying." ”

"That's right." Xu Xingwei let out a long laugh and said, "The forbidden army is not as good as the march." ”

Xu Xingwei returned from the Northern Expedition, Hebei, Daibei, Northwest, and Beijing Forbidden Army, and there were many people who saw the forbidden army from all walks of life. The equipment of the forbidden army is probably not bad, but it is generally slightly inferior to the re-equipped Zhongshan army, and all kinds of forbidden army, some are simple, some are resolute, some are flashy, and some are generally demoralized, after all, the imperial court is short of money, although it does its best, the reward money is still limited. Soldiers are enlisted in the army, and they have to worry about their relatives at home, because the court's pension is becoming more and more ineffective, and once the forbidden army dies in battle, its bereaved family is likely to fall into the dilemma of not being provided with food and clothing.

Especially in the Beijing Division and the Hebei Forbidden Army, the situation of low morale is more common.

Judging from Xu Xingwei's observations in the Northern Expeditionary Army, Zhongshan Fuzhong has surpassed the Northern Forbidden Army in terms of equipment, training, battlefield experience and command, and logistics.

There may be some elite soldiers and horses, such as Yue Zhi, Li Youde and other generals, who have slightly better battlefield experience or equipment, but after all, they are a minority in the forbidden army.

There are more than 300,000 forbidden troops from all walks of life and Beijing, and what Xu Xingwei refers to is more than the forbidden army, of course, refers to all the forbidden troops.

"Brother Zizhang."

"I've seen Lord Xu."

The generals also got off the ship and strode to the dock.

In this war, because they had to do their best, all the places where the old government army was stationed were handed over to the new army and the guards, and the original battalion generals were either appointed to military-level positions, first in the new army, or as regimental commanders, and their official positions were all promoted.

In front of him are all generals with silver stars on their shoulders, but they are quite polite to Xu Xingwei, after all, the other party is sentenced to the military and political department, and the military and political affairs are in charge of one department, and the military generals have a lot of time to deal with the military and political department, and they also need to cooperate with each other.

The second is that Xu Xingwei and the King of Zhongshan are inextricably intertwined, and everyone at this level also understands in their hearts.

Those who got off the boat were Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Ge Cunzhong, Ge Cunyi, as well as Zhang Huchen, Li Fuxiang, Lin Cunxin, Jin Baoyi, Wu Weisan and others, and then Gao Shilai, Tian Heng and other young officers, gathered together, so far the generals of the Zhongshan Army have generally gathered in Qizhou.

"Your Highness is waiting for you." Xu Xingwei said with a smile: "I still have business here, so I won't go over with the generals to see His Highness." ”

Qin Dongyang hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a gentle smile, "Brother Zizhang has worked hard." ”

"Don't dare." Xu Xingwei returned the salute and said, "Everyone is working together for His Royal Highness." ”

The generals nodded one after another, whether they were old generals or young generals, everyone had excitement in their eyes.

The construction of Qizhou is almost over, and there are still some strong men who are cultivating land or building houses.

Around the port, there are still a large area of commercial banks, Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi and others took a look, but they saw Chen Duzhu and Lin Dingyi and others, all standing and talking in the commercial bank area, obviously discussing things, the military generals were impatient to meet and talk with these big businessmen, and they went around a little and went to Xu Zixian's residence.
