Chapter 554: The Vassal State
In fact, if it weren't for the main force of the fleet going north, the Battle of Pingwa would have already begun.
The shogun has declared war on the Ouchi family, and the shogunate army and a number of daimyo have begun to use troops against the Ouchi family, and the Ouchi family is also a general mobilization, with more than 100,000 troops on both sides, which will be a rather tragic battle.
The government army is planning to dispatch more than a dozen armies, divided into the left and right chambers, the commander is Liu Yi, the commander of the chambers, the left chamber is the commander of Tian Heng, and the right chamber is the commander of Lin Cunxin.
The generations of generals who came down from the battlefield of the Northern Expedition will not be dissatisfied with this kind of treatment. The propaganda of the Northern Expedition was also carried out very well on the Fujian Road, and the Fuzhou Evening News and other newspapers reported on the loyalty and sacrifice of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition one after another.
Xu Zixian also hopes that more guest generals will enter, and now his generals are from Fuzhou and Zhangzhou, except for a few people, most of them are from Fuzhou and Zhangzhou, and the rest are from various military states on the Fujian Road.
Among the large number of government troops recruited before this, there were tens of thousands of miners who originally came from all walks of the south, and even northerners from Henan Road and Shandong Road, Xu Zixian was quite satisfied with this.
The pure Min people can form an army with a strong sense of honor and a strong sense of locality, but when the southern army goes on a northern expedition in the future, too close and localized will affect the determination and combat power of the government army to go north, which is also something that Xu Zixian tries his best to avoid.
"Yao Pingzhong and Chongji went south first." Xu Zi first changed his name, and he did not match the words in official affairs, and the two young military attachés also lowered their hands and put their feet together, after hearing Xu Zi's order, the two of them gave a military salute to express their obedience, and Xu Zixian continued: "I want to go north first, and take Wang Zhi's department south." The two of you and some officers and men of the government army will first go south, familiarize themselves with all things at sea, join up with the Luzon fleet, and then wait for news in Luzon, and after the main fleet of the government will come back to rest, the main force of the government army will board the ship and go to the Japanese country with the Luzon fleet. ”
Chong Ji and Yao Pingzhong clasped their fists and said, "Follow His Highness's order." ”
Xu Zixian nodded and said with a smile: "The battle of the Japanese should be fast, you can reluctantly." ”
Xu Xingwei smiled on the side, he had always thought that these two friends could serve under the shogunate, and now they were getting what they wanted, and they were in a very happy mood.
With the addition of these two outstanding sons of the Jiangmen family, it is conceivable that there will be a steady stream of children of the northern generals joining the prefect army in the next one or two years, which is quite good for the supplement of the middle and lower military attaches in the prefect's army.
Xu Xingwei is also a very outstanding child of a family in the end, his vision and ability are far beyond ordinary people, and the generals of the government army are quite outstanding, whether it is Liu Yi or Qin Dongyang, or the Ge family brothers, Zhang Huchen and others, or natural talents, or the courage of ten thousand people, or cautious and meticulous, or brave and daring to die, they are all rare talents.
However, the middle-level military attachés, now most of them are promoted among the Fujian people, with the expansion of the government army, the number of military attaches is seriously insufficient, the current military command is not too short, but there are also several armies are concurrent, as for the deputy commander, the military capital Yuhou, the regimental commander, the battalion commander, the head, these levels of military attachés are in short supply, many middle and senior military attaches have to wear multiple positions, cultivate some experienced veterans as military attachés, even so, there is no way to make up for the shortage of military attachés.
Now everyone is waiting for the lecture hall, but the graduates who pass the lecture hall will be in the army for at least one year, and then study in the lecture hall for half a year to one year, and then the original head can be the battalion commander, at least in terms of command experience and knowledge.
However, it will take at least two or three years for a large number of battalion and regiment-level commanders to replenish the staff officers, and after two or three years, the government army may expand several times, and it will still face a shortage of military attachés.
The search for qualified military attachés from all walks of life is already underway, and then recruiting young military attachés from Jiangmen in the north, a large number of generals and disciples go south, enter the army one after another, first serve as deputy positions, and then study in the martial arts hall for a short period of time, so as to adapt to the system of the government army, so that a large number of middle and lower-level military attaches can be obtained, and the foundation of the entire government army will be more sufficient.
With sufficient food and salary, a large number of iron armor and weapons produced by the Eastern Domain, plus a better logistics system, a pension system, and a government army system plus sufficient talents, the combat power will be even higher than the current elite of the forbidden army.
Xu Xingwei
With a smile on his face, the situation in the north is worrying, but fortunately, there is still a king of Qin in Great Wei, and there is still a government army, and the situation is not only not desperate, on the contrary, there is a lot to be done.
……
Yao Pingzhong and Chong Ji did not delay in Fuzhou, they are the generals of Qin Fenglu, they have been accustomed to doing things when they hear orders since they were children, even if they are eating, they will set off as soon as the military order arrives, and they will never delay.
None of them took over the family, and the two of them returned to their hometowns to marry after the martial arts, and they both had children, so they stayed in their hometowns and were taken care of by the clansmen, so they didn't have to worry too much.
As a general, it is quite common for a general to go south and north, to be transferred frequently, and not to return to his hometown for several years.
When they reach a certain level, they can take over a small family reunion, and for young military attachés, they generally have to wait and boil.
However, the two of them also decided to take over the family as small as Fuzhou, there is a lot to be done here, the north will fall into a comprehensive defense in the next few years, and even military states such as Qinfeng Road are not safe, in addition to taking over the family, the elders in the family also plan to send a large number of children to the south, which is something that the two of them have decided before they go south.
The sky was clear, the sea was blue, and the two of them were on a large ship of more than 400 tons, and dozens of warships had already gone to Luzon before, but this time only three warships were dispatched, Chongji and Yao Pingzhong were on a large ship, and the other two were small ships of more than 200 tons.
All the warships and even merchant ships in the ports of the Eastern Domain and Penghu had been fully dispatched by this time.
Half to Luzon, half to the north, and both sides gathered in Hirado after half a month.
In World War I, Luzon was first obtained, and then the Wa Kingdom, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Hirado, Luzon, and Lanfang were united.
The naval division of the government army and Kang Tianqi, and the naval division of Lanfang joined forces to fight a decisive battle with Pu Xingfeng.
The goal is ambitious, and the two young military attachés from the northwest are also very interested in competing for power on the sea, but they are also the same as ordinary people, they are excited at first after getting on the ship, seeing the blue sea without bounds, feeling the magnificence of nature, the beauty of the sky and the sea, but the wind and waves together, the two of them also began to vomit.
By the time the ship arrived in Luzon, the two military attachés from the northwest had already made a preliminary adaptation, and they also lamented the difficulties of the war at sea.
When we arrived at Cebu Island, there were obvious embers of war in the harbor, many wrecked warships were floating in the sea, some Luzon people were fishing for things at sea in small boats, important strategic materials had been salvaged, and the sailors did not prohibit the locals from salvaging them.
The harbor was also littered with smoke and fire, arrow marks, some houses burned down, and some brick houses were beaten into ruins by shells.
Yao Pingzhong and Chong Ji did not delay in Fuzhou, they are the generals of Qin Fenglu, they have been accustomed to doing things when they hear orders since they were children, even if they are eating, they will set off as soon as the military order arrives, and they will never delay.

By the time the ship arrived in Luzon, the two military attachés from the northwest had already made a preliminary adaptation, and they also lamented the difficulties of the war at sea.
When we arrived at Cebu Island, there were obvious embers of war in the harbor, many wrecked warships were floating in the sea, some Luzon people were fishing for things at sea in small boats, important strategic materials had been salvaged, and the sailors did not prohibit the locals from salvaging them.
The harbor was also littered with smoke and fire, arrow marks, some houses burned down, and some brick houses were beaten into ruins by shells.
The crowd on the shore was still dense, and it seemed that something was going on.
"The war in Luzon is completely over." The captain of the battleship was a young man under thirty years old, thin and capable, typical of the image of a Min people.
Unlike ordinary Fujianese who can't speak official language, the captain's official language is also quite standard, and he said with a smile to the two northwest military attachés: "Judging from the flag, Liu Dan has been captured, and the naval division stationed in Luzon is ready to swear to conquer the Japanese!" ”
I see!
Yao Pingzhong and Chongji were not too disappointed, the matter in front of them was expected, the previous war was basically over, the two of them set sail with the fleet, the main goal was still in the matter of the conquest of the Japanese, the conquest of the war, the goal was to cut three times the land of the Eastern Domain, the conquest of the Japanese country, there may be a big war of more than 100,000 people, for the two young military attachés, they had been tortured in the frozen black soil before, and suffered from disappointment, in front of them was this large-scale war in which the Wei army had the advantage and conquered the barbarians, Being fortunate enough to participate in it can be regarded as a small compensation for their previous hardships.
At least in the eyes of Chong Ji and Yao Pingzhong, they did not regard the conquest and killing as a chore, but on the contrary, they enjoyed it.
"The Great Wei Qin King Shogunate Luzon Expedition to the Japanese Department."
When the boat arrived on the shore, Tane Ji read softly the high flags on the shore, and his eyes showed a strange look.
"I heard that the king and the nobles here in Luzon have surrendered." Yao Pingzhong said in a low voice: "This time to conquer the Japanese, Luzon also built a large army to conquer the Japanese, and the king sent 3,000 soldiers and horses, led by a number of nobles, which can be regarded as a part of our Great Wei's army of the Japanese. After that, we will send troops and horses and officials to Luzon and establish the law of Lijia......"
Yao Pingzhong's expression was also quite weird.
Great Wei never thought of conquering their own vassal states, and the ministers had no such intention. Although the Great Wei Dynasty was in contention with other races when it was founded, the situation at that time was that Huaxia was almost destroyed and had to fight. However, from the perspective and perspective of the scholars, if they can not fight, they will not fight, because whether it is officials, gentry, including nobles, but also ordinary soldiers and ordinary people, they all regard war as a money-losing business, soldiers are facing death and injury, no one to pay for them, and no one to take care of the small bereaved family, ordinary people will be forced to pay more taxes, scholars and doctors will have to worry about their lives when they are ordered to guard the border, and the nobles will not gain any benefits in the war. In the end, only the emperor will benefit, and the glory of opening the border will be obtained, so the literati will use articles and poems to solicit the king's warlike behavior of opening the border, and the final conclusion is that the people will be wasted.
Chong Ji was quite worried, but Yao Pingzhong grinned and said, "I heard that the situation here in Luzon is different from the past. King Qin planned to build Luzon into a port for trade, do entrepot trade, and sell our products in Luzon, and his country was not allowed to buy goods in other countries. In addition, we garrison the army, stationed officials, and Luzon all have to bear the cost, in the words of the shogunate, let's eliminate pirates for them, resist foreign insults, and we can't do a loss-making business, we are not the Great Wei court after all, there is no need to use our own money, buy this kind of false good-looking, right? ”
"There is a good reason for that." Chong Ji thought about it, and said as a matter of course: "King Qin still knows a little bit about Tao Hui in this regard, this is a good thing!" ”
In Chongji's view, now the imperial court does not care about the south at all, the king of Qin not only has to guard the southern roads, but also has to set up a sailor, conquer overseas, but do not let the real profit and fame, many ambitious people at this time should be the loss of their financial resources, get the support of the top and bottom of the Luzon country, and use this kind of public opinion to influence the scholars of the Great Wei Dynasty, so that their prestige is one step further.
The measures taken by the Qin Shogunate in Luzon are certainly profitable, but they will definitely damage the prestige of the Qin King in the hearts of the Luzon nobles, and the reputation in the country will not be too good.
"It was right that we didn't go south before, and it was right to go south later." Yao Ping stroked his chin with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Now it seems that the conquest of the Japanese is not a good war to destroy the country, our Northern Expedition is not going well, and the whole country is depressed. ”
Tane didn't make a sound this time, but his eyes also became sharp.
