After hearing this, the two of them first stood up and wanted to agree, but they were a little dumbfounded after listening, so Wang Chengping immediately asked puzzled: "General, there is no problem with what was ordered earlier, but why do you want us to help the government in the future?" Aren't we going against the court? ”

Xiao Tianjian stood up and walked into the hall, looked north with his hands behind his back, as if he wanted to penetrate everything, suddenly turned around again, scanned the generals in the hall with cold eyes, and finally fixed his eyes on Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng: "It's true that we are against the imperial court, but don't forget that we are also the sons of the Han family!" Jiannu invaded us from time to time, how many of our Han people were killed? How many of our Han people were robbed and returned to them as slaves?

The two of you are now in the north, I'm afraid you know more about Jiannu than I do, and you should know very well how Jiannu treats us Han people! The last time Jiannu invaded the Xuanda area, just in the Xuanda area, they kidnapped tens of thousands of people and killed an unknown number of Han people! You know better than I do!

And Lu Xiangsheng is an official of the imperial court, although he is also against our righteous army, but this is just his own master, and this person is generally a good official who cares for the people! It is true that we are against the imperial court, but what we want to kill is a corrupt official, we kill an official and rebel, we kill a corrupt official, a dog official, but for clean officials and good officials, we must treat them differently, and for a rare good official like Lu Xiangsheng, we will not trouble him!

So in terms of dealing with Jiannu, I'm afraid that you will be confused, so I deliberately let you come back for this matter! Although we are said to be life and death with the government, in terms of dealing with Jiannu, we and the government do not distinguish between you and me, because we are all Han people, and we will never sit idly by and watch them harm our Han people! And Lu Xiangsheng's trip to the north is to go to Xuanda and resist Jiannu, so you are in the north, and you will inevitably have to deal with Lu Xiangsheng in the future, when necessary, as long as you deal with Jiannu, not only can you not be an enemy of him, but on the contrary, you must help them as much as possible!

Because I am the only one in this world who knows what kind of suffering the Jiannu nation will bring to our Han nation, how many Han people will fall under their butcher's knives and iron hooves, and what kind of situation will they bring our country! You don't know, and you don't know! But you must now understand who our greatest enemy will be! That's this bloodthirsty people of the North!

If you don't understand, sooner or later, we Han people will become their slaves, and our people will be a hundred times more miserable than now! This is also the reason why I took you to rebel, because the court in front of me is no longer enough to shoulder the responsibility of protecting our Han nation, they have long become a completely rotten tree, but now they only maintain a little appearance!

Since the current imperial court can no longer protect our Han people, then we will take this responsibility! I, Xiao Tianjian, will never let them, a small barbarian nation, enter the Central Plains, become the ruler of this land that gave birth to us and raise us, and let them trample on our land and enslave us! If we succeed in the future, then sooner or later we will one day go to face the soldiers and horses of the Jiannu Tartars, and I will take you to completely erase this barbaric nation from this world, so that they will never be able to covet this land that gave birth to our Han people! You may not understand what I am talking about now, but you must always remember one thing, that is, in dealing with Jiannu, I will never allow you to do things that are happy for your relatives and enemies! That's why I'm asking you to come back! ”

After hearing this, the generals all looked at each other a few times, in this regard, they really didn't think so much like Xiao Tianjian, although they were a little confused, but faintly, they all understood that Xiao Tianjian seemed to have a bitter hatred for the barbarian people in the north.

Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng were stared at by Xiao Tianjian's cold eyes, and they couldn't help but feel shocked in their hearts, although they didn't understand why Xiao Tianjian was so hateful when he mentioned the Jiannu Tartars, but they no longer hesitated anything, and immediately replied: "Humble obedience!" ……”

However, after receiving the order, Wang Chengping still scratched his head and asked Xiao Tianjian in a little distressed whisper: "General, there is still something unclear about the humble position!" So what should we do if the surname Lu comes and pushes us too hard? Although Li Lingfeng did not speak, he also looked at Xiao Tianjian with the same questioning gaze, and also hoped to get a clear instruction from Xiao Tianjian.

After Xiao Tianjian finished saying this, he took a deep breath, calmed his mood, turned to look at the two of them, and then replied, "You can control this yourself!" You can't be soft on what you should insist on, and let Lu Xiangsheng know that you are not easy to mess with! If he can govern the Xuanda area well, then it can be regarded as a blessing for the local people, and you can give him three points! But if he pushes too hard, then he still has to fight, let him know that we are powerful! In short, you must try your best to contain the official forces, so that when he is in charge of Xuanda, he will not have the energy to pay attention to the situation in our area in southern Jinnan, and he will not be able to let the Tianxiong army under his command go south to use it on our territory, so as to reduce the pressure on our local area as much as possible! I won't go into details about how to do it, you two will be outside, you can decide for yourself! ”

After thinking about it, the two of them both stood up and saluted and said loudly: "Humble and orderly!" ”

"In addition, before this operation, I have one more thing to arrange, from today onwards, the three-pounder guns in the artillery battalions will be directly assigned to the battalions! Each battalion has an additional artillery team directly under the sentry, equipped with ten three-pounder guns and ten tiger squat guns! In addition, the scout team was dispersed, and each battalion allocated a team of scouts, which were directly subordinate to each battalion and battalion general! In addition, each battalion will add a large baggage team directly under the battalion to use it as a battalion baggage team, so you guys should be happy! Xiao Tianjian suddenly announced such a news.

After hearing this, the generals were naturally overjoyed, and as a result, the strength of each battalion increased to nearly 2,000 people, and after they were assigned to the artillery team directly under them, their ability to attack fortified positions was much stronger, and coupled with the configuration of the scout team and the baggage team, the combat effectiveness of each battalion would rise to a higher level, and the ability to fight independently would be even stronger.

After Huang Shengqiang heard this, he was a little unhappy, the three-pounder guns of the artillery battalion were allocated to each battalion at once, so his artillery battalion weakened its strength, so wouldn't his artillery battalion be disbanded? So he asked Xiao Tianjian with a yellow face and an unhappy face: "General, if the three-pounder guns are all set aside, then won't our artillery battalion only have a six-pounder gun and a furlong machine left?" Is that artillery battalion still a battalion? ”

Xiao Tianjian glared at Huang Shengqiang, Huang Shengqiang immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "The general is angry, he is too anxious!" ”

"Shi Ran, the chief officer of the scout team, hasn't spoken yet, but you're not satisfied first! Hum! Wouldn't I know? Are you worried that I will disband your artillery battalion? Joke!

Tell you about it! Over there, more than ten six-pounder guns have been cast for your artillery battalion, so that the artillery battalion at hand will have thirty six-pounder guns in the future, and as for the original Furlong machine guns, they will all be handed over to the local township barracks for use in the future! With this equip, your artillery battalion will not only not be weakened, but will be more combat-ready! And in the future, I will equip you with a more powerful eight-pounder cannon, do you have anything to say? Xiao Tianjian reprimanded Huang Shengqiang.

After Huang Shengqiang heard this, he was overjoyed, the six-pounder cannon is not a star and a half compared to the three-pounder gun, if the three-pounder cannon is replaced by a six-pounder gun, then his artillery battalion is a blessing in disguise, the firepower is much more fierce, more than 30 six-pounder guns, if you fire together, it can scare people to death! How could he still be dissatisfied! So he hurriedly responded with his chest up.

"Don't be happy too early, the training of gunners is not something that can be completed in a while, let me ask you, have you already transferred the instructor I want you to send at the Shuangfengzhai Artillery School?" Xiao Tianjian didn't let Huang Shengqiang go, and asked him.

Huang Shengqiang hurriedly replied: "General Qiyu, the little one doesn't dare to slack off, he has already transferred the best ten gunners in the battalion to Shuangfeng Village to report to Gaosu a few days ago!" ”

Xiao Tianjian nodded: "It's pretty much the same!" In addition, the artillery teams directly under each battalion have just been formed, and you must also draw manpower from the artillery battalions, supplement them to each battalion, and set up the racks of the artillery teams of each battalion. If anyone can't do it, I'll take it back!" ”

When the general heard this, he immediately responded with a bang.

Then Xiao Tianjian arranged some other trivial things, mainly focusing on army construction, and made small adjustments to the current battalions of the Xingtian Army, strengthened the strength of each battalion, and made its combat effectiveness stronger, and at the same time made Shi Ran put down the matter of the scout team, and took over the affairs of all the township barracks in the jurisdiction, and in the future, the formation, training, deployment, and operation of the township barracks, as well as the replenishment of soldiers for each war barracks, were basically handed over to Shi Ran.

Shi Ran, as Xiao Tianjian's most loyal old subordinate, did not express any dissatisfaction with Xiao Tianjian's disbandment of the scout brigade, and for him, his power was not weakened, but it was improved even more, and he mastered the local forces within the jurisdiction of the entire Xingtian Army, but in fact, his power was much greater.

After these things were agreed, Xiao Tianjian rarely let the generals stay in the Lotus Village, and made an exception to set up a banquet to entertain these guys once, which was quite a rare thing for the simple and accustomed Xingtianjun.

Now, because of the expansion of the territory, the generals are no longer stationed as before, but are stationed in various places, and it is rare to see each other for a long time.

However, after Xiao Tianjian ordered the disbandment, he still left Fu Deming, Yan Chongxi, Shi Ran and others in the hall, and let the others leave the hall first.

After there were only a few of them left in the hall, Xiao Tianjian said to them: "Leave a few of you, I think you should all know why!"

Let's keep it simple! After beating Gaoping this time, our affairs in Shanxi have come to an end for the time being! If Gaoping is taken, Zezhou will be self-defeating, and the entire southeast area of Shanxi will be under the control of our Xingtian Army!

And my next step is to lead my troops to Henan, and I have to explain here! I have talked to Mr. Fu before, although this place is not too big, but it is already hundreds of miles away, and there are more than 300,000 people in our jurisdiction, and all our foundations are here! There is no room for half a spread pool!

After I lead my troops away, I'll leave this place to a few of you in charge! Brother Yan, you are my most trusted brother! I've thought about it for a long time, among the generals, you and Shi Ran are the most stable people, and the first battalion is also the strongest team in my hands! So this time you stayed and led the department to look after the house for me!

Don't worry! Leaving you is something I've thought through, don't fight anymore! Only by handing over this place to a few of you, can I rest assured that I will do a big job in Henan, and you don't think that if you stay, there will be no battle to fight! When the Shanxi government learned that I had led my troops into Henan, they would definitely think that this was a good opportunity to pull out our nail in the southern part of Shanxi, and if my guess was correct, they would definitely do everything possible to attack in a big way! So stay, there are battles to fight! It's also likely to hit hard, so you don't have anything to be sorry for!

As for Shi Ran, I have handed over the local township soldiers here to you, and I also hope that you can cooperate with Brother Yan to guard my home for me, at the moment we can't raise too many soldiers, after this expansion, our strength has reached more than 10,000 people, and thirty people to feed a soldier is already our limit, so if we want to guard our hometown, we can't ignore the role of the township soldiers, to a certain extent, the township soldiers will become the main force to guard this place, and you have to continue to select troops in the next step, I'm afraid you will be busy in the near future! But fortunately, Liu Bao's former group of instructors, I have already taken it out for you, and I will hand it over to you in the future, which will make you a little easier, and then the remaining youth battalions will be renamed Xingtian Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and you will also take the time to arrest them, those little guys will be our hope in the future! Don't let me down what I expect from you! ”

Yan Chongxi just wanted to fight with Xiao Tianjian to go down to Henan to do a big job, this time Xiao Tianjian led his troops south, it must be to set off a monstrous wave in Henan, there will definitely be many battles, as the commander of the first battalion of the Xingtian Army, he never wanted to follow Xiao Tianjian to go on a expedition and establish his merits, but after listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, he didn't say anything more, but was grateful, Xiao Tianjian was able to choose him to sit in Yangcheng, which shows the great trust in him, this trust is not ordinary trust, Instead, he handed over the entire family and the foundation of the Xingtian Army to him and Shi Ran, which made him feel heavy in his heart, and he also felt a little heavy on his shoulders, and the burden was very heavy!

So he and Shi Ran both stood up, straightened their chests and replied loudly: "Thank you for the general's trust in us, please rest assured, as long as I have a breath of air, the government will never be allowed to take it back here!" The general can rest assured that he will go to Henan to do a big job! We will be optimistic about this for the general! ”

Xiao Tianjian nodded, turned his head and said to Fu Deming next to him: "Mr. Fu! You have to shoulder the civil affairs here! The people do not suffer from poverty, but suffer from injustice! Please keep in mind this sentence for you and those under your command, our Xingtian Army can only win the hearts of the people by relying on fairness in doing things, and the better you do, the easier it will be for Brother Yan and Shi Ran to hold our territory!

And Henan is very poor now, and in the early stage, we will continue to support our actions, and you will be under a lot of pressure, whether it is food or armor, we are counting on your side to provide us with it!

In addition, this time I led my troops to Henan, but also to fight a place, run a place, and consolidate a place, so that it can echo with the north and south of this area in the future, but it is not enough to only bring those big soldiers, you have to select a group of subordinates who are good at taking care of civil affairs for me, and you can do it according to the number of people, first prepare dozens of capable subordinates for me, and then supplement them according to my requirements! ”

"Obey the order! Please rest assured, General! Let's go down and make arrangements! ”
