Chapter 237: Calming People's Hearts

This is similar to the relationship between the Nanxi Regiment and the teaching battalion, this independent battalion is the seedling of the Dragon Lance Regiment after all, but the Dragon Lance Regiment is worried that this new independent battalion has been wronged in the hands of Lu Ziyun, so it decided to refer to the old example of the Nanxi Regiment and the teaching camp to deal with the problem.

"No problem!" Lu Ziyun was already satisfied that he could ask for an entire infantry battalion from the Dragon Lance Battalion: "The personnel and financial rights are still handed over to the inspector, but I ask that in case of emergency, I have the power to remove the commander." ”

Liu Chang promised him: "Yes, but you still use this kind of power carefully, and then the state capital will be handed over to you!" ”

Lu Ziyun is full of confidence, he wants an independent battalion from the Dragon Lance Regiment, plus his own Ox Knife Battalion, it is absolutely no problem to take down the seven county towns of the state capital, the only thing to worry about is the large number of enemy troops from Fujian and Jiangxi, but that is a big problem for Liu Chang to worry about: "Check the point, and the state capital will be handed over to me!" ”

He knew that the military affairs of Chuzhou were handed over to him, but in civil affairs, Liu Chang now had two Jin who had surrendered to him. The magistrate of Washington, it is estimated that in order to win the hearts of the people, they will also be appointed as the prefect.

But during the war, the military chief was heavier than the chief executive, and Lu Ziyun had nothing to complain about, he just suggested: "When will the main force withdraw to Zhezhong?" ”

Liu Chang told him: "First lay the clouds for you. And. county, and then returned to the division to capture Li. Water County, the remaining five counties will be left to you to solve by yourself! ”

XIANG Yun. And the pursuit is to annihilate the remnants of Rao Tingxuan, while attacking Li. Shuixian took the capital city for Lu Ziyun, in fact, after defeating these three county seats, the enemy army in the entire prefecture can be almost solved.

Therefore, Lu Ziyun was also satisfied, he just asked: "When will the independent battalion be formed?" ”

"Your Ox Knife Battalion has suffered heavy casualties this time, rest for a few more days, and leave the next battle to other battalions to solve!"

This is a truth, Lu Ziyun admitted that if he rested for one more day now, the Niudao Battalion would be able to return to the team with one more batch of wounded and restore one more combat effectiveness.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the Dragon Lance Battalion and the Dragon Lance Regiment were quite enthusiastic about the formation of an independent battalion, and the newly formed independent battalion was quite strong.

As the first infantry battalion formed by the entire Hong Army, the strength of the Dragon Lance Battalion is beyond Lu Ziyun's imagination, although each company is now a strength of one hundred and twenty people, and it is not allowed to be overnumbered under normal circumstances, like Shi Yunqing is unlucky because of the unauthorized expansion of the company's strength.

However, the dragon spear battalion not only left a supplementary company in the rear, but the four companies in the front were all overstaffed with 178 people, and in addition to the perennial training team to train new recruits, the strength was equivalent to that of an infantry company.

Therefore, the dragon lance battalion drew out more than 120 veterans and more than 50 recruits who had undergone more than two weeks of training in one go to form this new independent battalion of the prefecture, and with more than 180 of them, hundreds of flintlock pistols and firing guns, the combat effectiveness of the new independent battalion was guaranteed, and the team directly under the dragon lance regiment also drew out 40 or 50 people to strengthen this independent battalion.

They also selected more than 300 strong men from the captured Rao Tingxuan to join the new independent battalion, and in just a day or two, the entire independent battalion became a fully formed infantry battalion of more than 500 people, which was slightly more than the Oxault battalion, which had just replenished a group of prisoners.

And the transfer of such personnel, for the dragon lance battalion, can not affect their combat effectiveness, the latest news has soon come from the front, the rainbow army has successfully taken the cloud. And. In the county seat, this battle captured hundreds of remnants of Rao Tingxuan and a number of brave and green battalion soldiers, and the dragon spear battalion has suggested that the newly proposed independent battalion of Chuzhou be transferred to Yun. And. The county conducts the whole training. ..., after all, there are too many prisoners and recruits in the army, and only the first company can really fight a tough battle, and it will not be able to exert combat effectiveness without a period of training.

Lu Ziyun agreed to such a good intention, the only surprise was that the cadres of this battalion were not satisfied with their numbers, although their numbers were already very loud, and they were directly named after the state capital, rather than the abbreviations of several counties like Huang Taiyu's independent battalion, but they thought that their infantry battalion should be louder.

In their minds, there was only one name that matched their unit, and that was the 2nd Battalion of Dragon Lances.

It's just that Liu Chang didn't agree to this request, he just replied to the Chuzhou Independent Battalion: "The number of your battalion is to be typed, not for you!" ”

Lu Ziyun thought so, and he deployed the Chuzhou Independent Battalion in Yun. And. The county, mobilizing the main force of the battalion to return north from Bihu, prepared to participate in the final attack on Fucheng.

……

"Our Hong army won a great victory in Chuzhou and annihilated Fu. Jianzhang. Rao Tingxuan, the commander of the state and town, had 6,000 troops, and only Rao Tingxuan led the following dozens of people to flee......"

The news was immediately transmitted back from the battlefield by the cavalry battalion cavalry. Cloud. The county's left-behind troops, and then rushed all the way to Xian. dwelling and finally arriving at the Pro. Hai, the officers of the Hongjun Army in Fucheng were all relieved after receiving such news.

This time the expedition to the west at least had a perfect start. Washington took four full counties, and Chuzhou also won Jin. Cloud. Not to mention the county, now it is even more neatly cleaned up Rao Tingxuan, especially some Hongjun officers who have contact with the Red Turban Army, knowing that this Rao General is a famous general in Fujian, and now that he has defeated him, the entire state capital is already in the pocket of the Hongjun.

And the happiest person is in the pro. The two civil and military officials with the highest status in the sea, one is Gao Liangcai, the prefect of Taizhou, and the other is Xian Na, who stayed in Taizhou, for which Gao Liangcai said happily: "Commander Xian, come to my house for two drinks in the evening, I have a treat!" I take out all the good wines that I have treasured at home for many years! ”

Cina also smiled: "It's a great thing, you should drink two cups, as long as you don't miss something!" ”

It's just that as soon as he said this, Feng Sixian, who came to Fucheng to do business, said: "Lao Xian, now that you have defeated the demon head, the pressure on our Taizhou Mansion is much lighter, should you give us some of the cadres and veterans from the south." ”

Since there is an internal response to Yu Village, many old people of the Red Turban Army have rushed from Wenzhou, and they feel that Qu Zhenhan has no way out, so they have rushed to serve Liu Chang in groups under the encouragement of Yu Village.

In their eyes, the future of Liu Zhendian's side is much brighter than that of Qu Zhenhan's side, and everyone is from the same source, how can they explain the past if they serve Liu Chang to eat in a mixed bowl.

These people are the backbone of the Red Turban Army, there are already 160 or 70 people, and now Xian Na is preparing to use this group of people as the basis for a little more training and expand a large battalion, after all, the mixed battalion will be returned to the formation sooner or later.

But the following cadres like Feng Sixian and Fu Wendao are also very angry with the 167 cadres and backbones, and these 167 people are all members of the Red Turban Army who have participated in the expedition to northern Fujian and even Rui. Ann fights with fun. The veteran of the Qing Uprising, this qualification is placed in the Hong Army, and now he is at least a company commander, and now many people are just ordinary veterans.

Now all independent companies, township platoons, and basic militia companies are in urgent need of reliable, loyal and capable cadres, so Feng Sixian and Shi Huiji both took the initiative to ask Xian Na for more support, and now taking advantage of the improvement of the situation, Feng Sixian brought up this topic again.

"This is not going to work, this is not going to be done!" Xian Na immediately refused: "It's also very difficult in the house now, don't look at the great victory of the state, but the next step is to attack the state capital with the Ox Knife Battalion, and return the company of the Cattle Knife Battalion to them, I thought about it, or wait to take it. Elephant. The county will return it to them, but for the sake of the overall situation of the state, I am ready to transfer the two companies of Shi Yunqing and Lin Song to the state first. Although the two companies of Shi Yunqing and Lin Song are now under the command of Xian Na, Xian Na still has little to do with these two companies, Shi Yunqing grasps these two companies tightly, and Xian Na only has the command of the mixed battalion.

Therefore, he decided to throw Shi Yunqing out as soon as possible: "Wait for the fight. Elephant. In Shanxi, the mixed battalion is about to be returned to the establishment, and it is even more difficult for me here! ”

It's just that Feng Sixian asked: "Lao Xi, you are not kind, there is a shortage of cadres and backbones in the house, and there is also a shortage of cadres on our side, can you let us figure out a way by ourselves?" ”

"None of the cadres from Wenzhou can be stopped!" Wash Na saw through Feng Sixian's tricks: "I really have redundant cadres here, and I don't take care of you!" Now the key is that there is too much shortage of cadres, and I still have a shortage of 100 cadres here! ”

In this case, Feng Sixian could only retreat: "Then how can I go back to the county and give a good explanation!" ”

Gao Liangcai smiled: "The county naturally has an explanation, Feng Zhi County, the inspection point has already had an explanation before the levy office!" ”

"What's the explanation?" Feng Sixian as Huang. Iwachi County, for Ti Huang. Cliff. The county is quite zealous in fighting for interests: "Tell me about it!" ”

Gao Liangcai smiled: "The inspection said, if there is not much progress in Jin, the scale should be stricter, and if it goes well, then it will be Guangmu Dezheng." ”

Feng Sixian has already understood that if the war in central Zhejiang does not go well, then it is necessary to further squeeze the resources of the Taizhou government to support the war in central Zhejiang, and if the war goes well, then you can be as generous as possible to win the hearts and minds of the people.

"What is the explanation of the inspection?"

Gao Liangcai smiled: "You go back and wait for good news first!" ”

Xian Na also said: "If the cadres are redundant, I will take care of you!" ”

With this guarantee, Feng Sixian was relieved to decide to return to Huang first. Cliff. County.

As a county parent official, he has a heavy responsibility, and as soon as he returned to Huangyan County, he was busy with the backlog of official business in the past two days, and at the same time, he also had to post the battle report of the Hongjun victory in Chuzhou everywhere to appease people's hearts.

With such a battle report, it was enough to calm down many ill-intentioned guys, but when he got up the next day, he was surrounded by a group of gentlemen from Huangyan County, and they asked directly: "Feng Zhixian, let's Huang. The procedures for the lending of pledged public bonds in Iwa County are not related to the Pro. Sea. County the same? ”
