Chapter 346: Where to Go Next?

Hearing Dong Song'an's words in a hurry, Huang Jiashi smiled: Third sister? This is what you said, we didn't say how many queens are ranked.

I just said a word about Uncle Guo from beginning to end, but you yourself said the word "third sister", isn't this just not self-recruiting.

And the queen mother also mentioned that she has three brothers and sisters, an older brother and a younger sister, but the ranking of large families is generally not only counting brothers and sisters, but also cousins, especially the Dong family, which has not yet been separated.

Counting her second uncle's children, she Dong Yunyun is the third among the brothers and sisters of the Dong family.

The third sister that Dong Songan said must be the queen's mother!

Looking at Huang Jiashi's playful smile, Dong Songan is also a smart person, he doesn't know that he said something wrong, and then thinking of his previous panic performance, he must not be able to hide from these people in front of him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look depressed.

If his third sister really became a pseudo-Tang queen, then for their Dong family, it would undoubtedly be a disaster to wipe out the family and steal the family.

What can I do?

Dong Songan was stunned in place, and Huang Jiashi then said: "There are other people in your family, I don't know if you can introduce them on your behalf?" ”

Huang Jiashi said so, but the whole person had already taken two steps forward, and even if Dong Songan didn't give an introduction, he was going to break in.

Dong Songan just wanted to open his mouth to stop it, saying that it was inconvenient to have a female dependent in the house, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say it, the matter has come to this point, what is the point of him blocking these people from entering?

I could only sigh lightly, and then I took Huang Jiashi and the others in.

There was no big surprise in the waiting, Huang Jiashi's appearance and the words Uncle Guo that he said once again shocked Dong Laoweng, Dong Bode and others, and Dong Laoweng even fainted on the spot.

And Qu Guangtai said uninterestingly, Dong Laoweng's surprises were excessive, so he fainted, and after saying this, the people of the Dong family couldn't wait to scold him on the spot.

Surprised, this is obviously frightened!

Huang Jiashi didn't 'surprise' them in the Dong family for too long, and after greeting the people of the Dong family, he sent someone back to Xingquan Mansion and reported to Li Xuan, asking for instructions on how to arrange these people from the Dong family.

The next day, after Li Xuan received the report, he also had a headache about how to arrange these Dong family members.

Because in Huang Jiashi's report, there was no concealment, and the reactions and attitudes of the Dong family were written in the report.

Huang Jiashi said that the people of the Dong family did not show any joy at the fact that their daughter became the queen of the Tang Dynasty, but were extremely frightened, and even refused to accept it, saying several times that the eldest daughter of their Dong family had died of illness last year.

Seeing Huang Jiashi's report, this made Li Xuan feel a little troublesome.

To be honest, he can understand the thoughts of the Dong family, after all, this Dong family is a scholarly family, and it is also a family of official eunuchs, and there are people who are officials in the court, which is suddenly related to the anti-thief, and the queen of the anti-thief is still a member of their Dong family, this matter is a catastrophe for them.

However, it doesn't matter what the people of the Dong family think, the important thing is that if you find them, you will be able to give Dong Yunyun an explanation.

If these people from the Dong family are allowed to escape, Dong Yunyun's identity will be exposed in the future, and I am afraid that none of these people from the Dong family will survive, and all of them will be clicked away by the Ming Dynasty.

The Nine Clans are no joke!

So we have to leave them behind!

He immediately sent people to Guanghe Village and asked Huang Jiashi to bring the people of the Dong family back and settle down.

As for how to arrange these people of the Dong family in the future, we have to wait for Dong Yunyun to talk about it after she arrives at Xingquan Mansion, after all, this matter is not important to Li Xuan to be honest, if it weren't for taking care of Dong Yunyun's feelings, he wouldn't bother to take care of the people of the Dong family.

Where the Dong family will go in the future, let Dong Yunyun and the people of the Dong family decide for themselves!

After Huang Jiashi received the order, he quickly brought the people of the Dong family back to Xingquanfu City, as for this process, it doesn't matter whether the people of the Dong family are willing or not, because Huang Jiashi took dozens of catchers to 'escort' them all the way back to Xingquanfu City.

The affairs of the Dong family did not involve too much Li Xuan's energy, he only occasionally asked in the past few days, his time was very precious, and he was busy with many military and political affairs every day, but he didn't have much time to think about the mood of the people of the Dong family.

After hearing that Huang Jiashi said that he had settled down the people of the Dong family, he nodded slightly: "You continue to stare at the follow-up!" ”

After saying that, Li Xuan completely left the people of the Dong family behind, and strode directly into the strategic conference room of the Privy Council.

With the voice of the guards, he sang: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

More than 20 officers of the Datang New Army in the strategy conference room turned around in unison and wanted to bow down.

Li Xuan immediately waved his hand: "Don't be polite!" ”

However, although this kneeling bow is no longer necessary, these people who bend down and bow still dare not forget it.

As he spoke, he himself had already walked to the dragon chair placed on the top, and after sitting down, he raised his hand slightly and pressed it: "Flat!" “

At this time, many officers stood up straight!

Li Xuan glanced at Zeng Ziwen, and then said, "Let's start, let's talk about the situation of the troops first." ”

The topic to be discussed today has been set a few days ago, that is, to formulate a strategic action plan for the next step of the Datang New Army.

Whether to fight, where to fight, and how to fight are all issues that need to be discussed in today's imperial strategic meeting.

Zeng Ziwen, as Lang Zhong of the Operations Department and a general in charge of the training and operations of the whole army, naturally has the unshirkable responsibility to assume the role of the presiding officer of the meeting on such an occasion today.

I saw him take a step forward, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, after this period of rest and replenishment, the original units have fully recovered their combat effectiveness before crossing the river. At the same time, in accordance with the expansion plan, we have adopted the method of gradual expansion, and have limited the expansion of the 1st Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Infantry Battalion, the 6th Infantry Battalion, and the 7th Infantry Battalion. ”

"The new formation of the 6th Infantry Battalion and the 7th Infantry Battalion is currently being integrated, and it is expected that the expansion will be completed in five days!"

The 6th Infantry Battalion and the 7th Infantry Battalion mentioned by Zeng Ziwen are actually the former 1st Mixed Battalion and 2nd Mixed Battalion.

The reason why the above four battalions were chosen to be expanded first is because these four battalions are the current core and main forces of the Datang New Army, and it is reasonable to give priority to expansion.

Zeng Ziwen continued: "The remaining 3rd Infantry Battalion, 4th Infantry Battalion, and 5th Infantry Battalion are also continuing to rest and expand, and it is expected to be completed in a month. ”

"The newly built Eighth Infantry Battalion, Ninth Infantry Battalion, and Tenth Infantry Battalion are currently under construction, and due to the shortage of soldiers, it is expected that the time for the soldiers to arrive may be delayed, and it will also take time for the muskets to be attached, so these three battalions are expected to be formed in two months!"

"The two garrison battalions are in good condition, the first garrison battalion is fully staffed, and the newly built second garrison battalion is also stepping up training!"

As Zeng Ziwen told the details of each battalion and battalion, everyone also had an intuitive understanding of the current state of the Tang New Army.

It has been twelve days since the capture of Xingquan Mansion, and during this time period, the new army of the Tang Dynasty has almost not wasted a day and expanded its forces as much as possible.

And it has also achieved great results, at least the four main battalions have completed the expansion!

After talking about the basic situation of each battalion and team, Zeng Ziwen took out another compilation document and continued: "According to Your Majesty's will, our Operations Division has completed the detailed establishment planning and troop allocation of the four infantry regiments!" Speaking of this, Zeng Ziwen glanced at Li Xuan.

Seeing Li Xuan nodding slightly, Zeng Ziwen continued: "According to the scale of our army's strength and the subsequent strategic needs, a total of four infantry regiments have been formed.

The First Infantry Battalion has jurisdiction over the 1st Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Infantry Battalion, the 3rd Infantry Battalion, the 1st Reconnaissance Cavalry Battalion, the 1st Baggage Battalion Battalion, and the 1st Battalion Artillery Battalion.

The 2nd Infantry Regiment has jurisdiction over the 4th Infantry Battalion, the 5th Infantry Battalion, the 6th Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Reconnaissance Cavalry Battalion, the 2nd Baggage Brigade, and the 2nd Battalion Artillery Battalion.

The 3rd Infantry Regiment has jurisdiction over the 7th Infantry Battalion, the 8th Infantry Battalion, the 9th Infantry Battalion, the 3rd Reconnaissance Cavalry Battalion, the 3rd Baggage Brigade, and the 3rd Battalion Artillery Battalion.

The 4th Infantry Regiment has jurisdiction over the 10th Infantry Battalion, the 1st Garrison Battalion, the 2nd Garrison Battalion, the 4th Reconnaissance Cavalry Brigade, the 4th Baggage Brigade, and the 4th Battalion Artillery Battalion. ”

The formation of these four infantry regiments did not surprise too many people, because many people had expected that these four infantry regiments would be organized according to the order of the infantry battalions.

Looking at the strength of these four infantry regiments, the strongest combat effectiveness is naturally the First Infantry Corps, which has two main battalions, and the Third Infantry Battalion is also an old unit, and the first reconnaissance cavalry team and the first battalion artillery team in the first step corps are also the only fully formed reconnaissance cavalry and battalion artillery units in the Datang New Army.

Most of the reconnaissance cavalry teams in several other infantry regiments are only ten or twenty cavalry, and as for the battalion artillery, they are only empty shelves, and the four 150-pound battalion guns sent by Zhengtai County recently were taken away by the first battalion artillery team.

For the time being, several other battalion artillery teams can only use those bowl guns captured from the Ming army.

In the previous battles, the Datang New Army captured a lot of bowl-mouth cannons of various styles and sizes of the Ming army, and those that were too small were naturally discarded, but there were also some bowl-mouth cannons with relatively large caliber and power, which were barely used first.

The first infantry battalion is the main force, and among the other three infantry regiments, the second infantry regiment is second, with the sixth infantry battalion, the main battalion of the original first mixed battalion, as the base, and the fourth infantry battalion is also a ready-made unit, while the fifth infantry battalion has just been established, but the fifth infantry battalion was formed directly from the battalions at that time, and many of the soldiers in it are veterans, and the combat effectiveness is okay.

As for the 3rd Infantry Regiment, it is worse, because there is only one 7th Infantry Battalion in the ready-made infantry battalion, and the 8th Infantry Battalion and the 9th Infantry Battalion are still under construction.

As for the Fourth Infantry Regiment, the two battalions in it are both garrison battalions with cold weapons, and the only regular battalion, the 10th Infantry Battalion, is still under construction.

Therefore, if the Datang New Army is going to launch a military operation now, it will inevitably take the first corps as the core, the second infantry regiment as the auxiliary, and the remaining two infantry regiments will be difficult to bear the heavy responsibility.

After introducing the basic situation of the troops, Zeng Ziwen presided over the discussion of follow-up strategic issues, and they needed a direction to march!

"My Xingquan Mansion is located at the junction of Guizhou, Huguang and Guangxi provinces, with Liping Mansion of Guizhou to the west and north, Liuzhou Mansion of Guangxi to the south and southeast, and Jingzhou of Huguang to the east.

And the direction of our army's march in the follow-up is also chosen from these three places!

But where to start? To Liping or Liuzhou or Jingzhou?
