Chapter 49: The Battlefield Behind Enemy Lines
After the decree of the major adjustment was issued, Zhu Yunwen immediately summoned Feng Xingjian, director of the Investigation Department, and Tie Wuchen, director of the Intelligence Department, and ordered them to increase the monitoring of the officials of the Beijing Division, including the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Sixth Department, and the internal officials, in short, everyone, to prevent them from informing the Yanshu people of the truth in the army. In addition, they were also ordered to create chaos near Beiping, where there were frequent wars and how difficult the people's livelihood was, and there must be strong people who were dissatisfied, so they could be provided with weapons, training, and even given official names.
Feng Xingjian and Tie Wuchen were also very interested after listening to the emperor's idea, and accepted the order. Zhu Yunwen also divided them into the eastern and western districts, with the supply location in the eastern district in Zhigu and the supply location in the western district at Bauhinia Pass.
The supplement of Bauhinia Pass mainly comes from Shaanxi and Shanxi, and the production base of tiger squat artillery and gunpowder has been established in Xi'an for the construction of Suiyuan, and after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he secretly ordered it to increase its productivity, and the equipment of the Suiyuan Army and the Shaanxi Army has been greatly improved, and these troops and equipment are also constantly being transported eastward to support Taiyuan, Datong and Zhending;
The supplement of Zhigu mainly comes from Jingshi and Liaodong, and it is needless to say that Jingshi is not to mention. Today's Liaodong has also changed greatly, after three years of hard work, Cheng Benli and others have worked hard, invested a lot of manpower and material resources, after three years of construction, plus Zhu Yunwen to Liaodong Dusi's enterprise workshop tax implementation of the three-three system, that is, tax exemption for three years, half tax for three years, and then return to normal policy, Liaodong water-rich areas such as Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Shenyang generation has hundreds of textile workshops, large and small, can produce cotton, silk, wool and other fabrics, if the raw materials are sufficient, full force to start, It can produce 100,000 pieces of single clothes and 20,000 pieces of cotton clothes every month, as well as 5,000 pieces of woolen sweaters, and at the same time, Cheng Benli and others promoted the production of down jackets according to Zhu Yunwen's suggestions, so the weapons and equipment of the Liaodong Army have undergone essential changes, and they have moved closer to the direction of Zhu Yunwen's heart to attack the base of Mongolia. The only problem was that the manufacture of weapons was not developed enough, although Zhu Yunwen ordered Fushun, Dingliao, Haizhou, San0,000 and other guards to carry out charcoal burning and iron-making in Fushun and Anshan in later generations, but it was limited to the population of Liaodong, and the development was relatively slow. However, Zhu Yunwen has loosened the restrictions on private mining, in order to encourage businessmen to open mines in Liaodong, because the other half of Zhu Yunwen's soul comes from the Northeast, so according to his own memory, he personally wrote articles, introducing the rich resources of the Liaodong generation, such as the coal of Fushun, the iron and Xiuyu of Anshan, and even the gold mines of Jiapigou, etc., to the "Minsheng Xun Bao", and also called on all officials from Liaodong to actively submit articles to introduce Liaodong and their hometowns, so as to attract businessmen to invest in setting up factories.
In Zhu Yunwen's opinion, he doesn't have the ability to win by surprise, and he will definitely not be able to beat Zhu Di in a head-to-head confrontation, so he can only rely on money, people, and equipment to kill him. As for Juyongguan and Yongping, it was not difficult to attack them, and Zhu Yunwen specially transferred two thousand households from the artillery battalion to Liaodong and Datong, and used explosives to blow up the passage to Beiping, and the day was before Zhu Di was destroyed.
After assigning tasks to Feng Xingjian and Tie Wuchen, Zhu Yunwen summoned Kuang Yi and Ning Lenghua the next day, Kuang Yi was the chief of guard of the loyal Marquis Song Zhong, and his escape from Beiping fully reflected his decisive, ruthless and martial arts characteristics, plus Song Zhong had the grace to save his life, and hated the Yanshu people, so Zhu Yunwen immediately decided to reuse him after summoning him, and set up a special operations battalion, Kuang Yi was the commander, and Ning Lenghua, a martial arts student, was the chief of staff, with a staff of 5,000 people, specializing in special operations. Regarding the special operations camp, Zhu Yunwen had an idea, but there was no suitable candidate until he found Kuang Yi. In order to instill the concept of special operations in them, Zhu Yunwen deliberately spent two days explaining to them the meaning of special operations, including assassination, sneak attack, poisoning, and other means to paralyze the enemy's command system and supply system, and to achieve victory at the lowest cost. The main purpose of this meeting was to inspect the results of the special operations battalion since its establishment in January.
Kuang Yi came with Ning Lenghua, Kuang Yi was originally a thin person, but now he is thinner than a month ago, but his eyes have become deeper and colder, it seems that he has been thinking about yin and bad moves in the past month; Ning Lenghua has also changed a lot, he was originally a little gloomy, but now he has become more silent, but his eyes are blurred, so that people can't see his focus. He was originally a thousand households in Jiningwei, Shandong, and he was quite literate before entering the martial arts, and after entering the martial arts, he showed a certain talent in tactical deduction, and Zhu Yunwen also put a lot of thought into choosing him as the chief of staff, this person's tactical deduction likes to play yin tricks and bad moves, and often sighs that some ideas are limited to equipment and cannot be realized, so this time Zhu Yunwen will partner Kuang Yi and Ning Lenghua, which is to use their strengths.
After listening to the reports of the two, Zhu Yunwen felt that the progress was good, so he personally went to visit the training base of the special camp, and found that there were only more than 2,000 people training, and he couldn't help but ask the reason. However, these two people said that the special operations battalion would rather be lacking than excessive, and that there would be so many people in the vicinity of the Beijing Division, and that other people from Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Liaodong had not yet arrived, and that when that time came, the number of personnel would increase.
The actual combat training also opened Zhu Yunwen's eyes, he only knew these concepts and methods from later generations, but he didn't expect that in just a month, these two people played so many tricks, they performed for Zhu Yunwen with bare hands, hanging rope crossing, camouflage approach, beheading and assassination, arson poisoning and other skills, during which they also used the equipment tailored for them by the School of Engineering.
After the visit, Zhu Yunwen went to Kuang Yi's office, retired from the servant, and said, "Kuang Yi, Ning Lenghua, you have done a good job this month, I am very satisfied." But I tell you that you only have two months, and after tomorrow spring, you will start moving, can you do it? ”
Kuang Yi and Ning Lenghua glanced at each other, then stood up, saluted and said, "No problem, Your Majesty, the special operations battalion can be dispatched at any time." And we are confident that we will win the first battle. ”
"Haha, very good, it's good for you to have faith, I have high hopes for you, you must not let me down."
Listening to Zhu Yunwen's slightly cold words, Kuang Yi hurriedly knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "Please rest assured that the special operations battalion was created by the emperor, not only are they elite soldiers, but also tax-free land is also given, and a pension system is created to relieve worries." The emperor is gracious, and the soldiers of the special operations battalion have a sense of guilt, and they would rather die than disappoint the emperor! ”
"Swear to die for the emperor!"
Looking at Kuang Yi and Ning Lenghua who were kneeling on the ground, Zhu Yunwen was a little moved, and quickly helped the two of them up, patted them on the shoulder and said: "Kuang Yi and Ning Lenghua, you can't talk about fighting to the death lightly, I still have a lot of things to do for you, the Yanshu rebellion is only the first thing, and in the future, I will really expand the scale of the special operations camp, so that you can be extraterritorial, and let the overseas barbarians know that I am a heroic!" ”
Kuang Yi and Ning Lenghua were also a little excited, they thought that they were just a temporary formation, specially set up to deal with Zhu Di, but they didn't think that the emperor's ambition was so great, they couldn't help but increase their confidence, and arched their hands: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the special operations camp will not let you down." ”
"Very good, the training of the special operations camp is very hard, I will order the household department to raise your food standards, and in addition, the Chinese New Year is approaching, I will move the families of the officers and soldiers to the vicinity of the Beijing Division as soon as possible, so as to facilitate their reunion."
"Finally, I want you to remember that soldiers are meant to go to war, but the purpose of soldiers is not to die in battle, but to return victorious."
"The last general understands, thank the emperor for Longen."
......
When Zhu Yunwen's guard of honor was far away, Kuang Yi looked back at Ning Lenghua and said with a smile: "How is it?" Scholar? The beginning of spring is about to be dispatched, don't give Lao Tzu a strain! ”
Ning Lenghua smiled slightly: "This will definitely not happen, the emperor is so loving, if we don't make an appearance, we won't have the face to come back." ”
"yes, Xiucai, you know what? I find that the emperor is becoming more and more like the first emperor? ”
"The First Emperor? I haven't met the Emperor, have you? ”
"I've seen it a few times from afar."
"And how do you know?" Ning Lenghua looked at him with disdain.
"Hehe, you'll know slowly in the future, okay, let's train, it's only two months, and the emperor is also very anxious."
"yes, hurry up."
After returning to Beijing, Zhu Yunwen immediately ordered the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, under the jurisdiction of the College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture, Wang Quan, the dean of the College of Engineering, as the dean, the rank of the four products, expand the scale, and set up a special fund to give heavy rewards to craftsmen.
Zhu Yunwen is becoming more and more autocratic, and Zhu Di's threat is too great, so he can only rely on himself.
