"General Xu doesn't know." Fan Wencheng also said with a smile, "We, the king of Taomin County, have mobilized 100,000 new Korean troops to rush to Shengjing. My emperor really doesn't want the sword soldiers to rise again, but if General Xu insists on going his own way, then the official can't do anything. ”

"Master Fan said well, the resurgence of sword soldiers will only lead to misery, it is not your heart and mine." After Xu Lang finished speaking, he took out Tao Min's letter from his arms, "But I still want to ask Scholar Fan to take a look at this first, what do you want to do when your King of Taomin County sends troops to Shengjing, and we will discuss it after Bachelor Fan reads it." ”

Fan Wencheng took Xu Lang's letter with doubts and read it: "What is this, who wrote this, what is written here, this official can't understand." ”

"I think Bachelor Fan can still recognize Chinese characters." Xu Lang took out another letter, "This is the original letter transcribed, and the next word has not been changed." The letter in the hand of Master Fan is the writing method of our Yulin Bay delivery secret letter, and only the king of Taomin County and Taogong Baylor in the Qing Dynasty know about it, and their master not only taught them Manchurian script, but also taught this. ”

Fan Wencheng sweated on his head after reading Xu Lang's translated letter, but he still pretended to be calm: "General Xu, is this kind of carving insect skill too underestimating this official." Does the general think that a false letter can make the emperor and his official doubt the loyalty of our prince? ”

"Master Fan, take a step to speak." Xu Lang came to Fan Wencheng's side, lowered his voice and said, "Tao Min is conclusive, he will come to Jinzhou to negotiate in a few days, and he already knows about your coming to Jinzhou." If you don't believe it, you can find someone to pretend to be your appearance and return to Shengjing, and you will hide in my Golden State for a few days, and then you will naturally know if you are lying. Of course, the safety of Bachelor Fan must be guaranteed. ”

Fan Wencheng looked at Xu Lang and didn't speak, in fact, he believed everything in the letter, but the incident happened suddenly, and Fan Wencheng couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Xu Lang saw Fan Wencheng's hesitation: "Master Fan, this official will not hide it from you, my Ming Dynasty is currently making every effort to conquer Liukou Li Zicheng, and I don't want to go to war with you again." However, we will not interfere in your internal affairs, what about Huang Taiji and Tao Min, we will not help each other. ”

It was already July when Xu Lang was busy negotiating with Fan Wencheng in Jinzhou, and Xia Yang walked into Zheng Jiang's office: "Chairman Zheng, there will be a cross-over conference in a few days, and there are some things I still want to talk to you about first." ”

"Old Xia, sit." Zheng Jiang stopped what he was doing and gave way to his seat, "The people in the military are basically not at home now, and I am afraid that you will sing the leading role in this crossing conference." ”

"That's why I find it so difficult." Xia Yang was indeed embarrassed, "Lao Xia, I haven't figured out what can be made public about the military's affairs and what can't be made public." I also promised you, after the meeting, I will go to Luoyang to meet Han Wantao, but what will happen to me when I go to Yulin Bay, and what will happen to the handover of work. ”

"Lao Xia, what do I think you mean by not wanting to go to Luoyang." Zheng Jiang asked.

"It's not that I don't want to go." Xia Yang said, "It's just that there is a very important thing to announce at this conference, but this matter requires the two committees to communicate, and it may take a long time, otherwise it is likely to cause trouble." But we don't know exactly who the next one will be. ”

Zheng Jiang was a little puzzled: "What is it and how long will it take." ”

Xia Yang finally expressed his worries: "It's about our asset accounting through the group." In fact, Cheng Yiyi has already calculated the specific amount, but I have not announced it. Can't publish it, can you believe that the average person is less than three thousand silver? ”

"How much do you say?" Zheng Jiang really didn't believe it, "A talent has three thousand silver, will you miss a zero." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, that's all." Xia Yang said Cheng Yiyi's accounting method and the approximate amount in all aspects, "If this amount is announced, it will be strange if it doesn't blow up." In addition, Luan Xu and Di Chong also said that at the most, by the end of July or early August, the resettlement houses and the ring road will be completed, and tens of thousands of displaced people will be in a situation where they have nothing to do. I came to you just to ask if your army can receive some of it, and how much. Not giving them a job will also cause trouble. ”

Zheng Jiang opened the locked filing cabinet and took out a document: "You take a look at this first." This is Leng Tianbing's plan for the next step of army expansion, but I don't know if it can solve your problem. ”

Leng Tianbing has always been very worried about the situation in the north, the Yulin army has a total of more than 20,000 troops in the north, if this time it is really with Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this army should not be enough. Therefore, Leng Tianbing came up with another army expansion plan before going to the Philippines with Sun Tianhao, hoping that the Military Commission could conduct a large-scale conscription in the entire Hainan Island and South Vietnam to expand the army to more than 50,000 people.

This plan is very detailed, and Leng Tianbing means to reorganize two armies. The First Army adopted a divisional and regimental battalion structure, with 12 infantry squads, 36 platoon commanders, deputy platoon commanders, non-commissioned officers, and signal soldiers, 120 companies with 120 people, company headquarters with 12 people, and 8 cooking squads, a total of 148 people. The first battalion has 3 infantry companies with 444 people, 40 people from the baggage platoon, 40 people from the guard platoon, 13 people from the battalion headquarters and 8 people from the medical team, a total of 545 people. The first regiment has 1,645 people in 3 infantry battalions, 148 people in the guard company, 25 people in the regimental headquarters and 20 people in the field hospital, a total of 1,838 people. The three artillery companies of the regimental artillery battalion each had 160 people, a total of 480, 27 6-pounder guns, 13 people in the battalion headquarters, and 40 baggage platoons, a total of 533 people. The regiment belongs to the cavalry battalion, with 10 people in a squad, 34 people in a platoon, 102 people in a company, 5 people in the company department, 10 people in the communication guard squad, 8 people in the cooking squad, 10 breeders, a total of 135 people, a battalion of 405 people, 15 people in the battalion department, and 40 people in the forage platoon, a total of 460 people. A regiment totaled 2831 people. One division, three infantry regiments, 8493 people. There are 460 cavalry battalions, 533 artillery battalions, 40 gendarmerie platoons, 296 men in two companies under the guard battalion, 40 men at the division headquarters, 50 men in division-level field hospitals, and 148 people in baggage companies, totaling 10,060 people in a division.

The First Army has three divisions under its jurisdiction, and the Canadian military headquarters has a full strength of 30,500 people.

The Second Army adopted the four-four organization of military brigade battalions, with 12 people in one squad, 52 people in one platoon, 208 people in one company, and 242 people in the company headquarters, guard squad, and cooking squad. There are 968 people in the four infantry companies of one battalion, 52 people in the baggage platoon, 52 people in the guard platoon, 15 people in the battalion headquarters and 12 people in the medical team, a total of 1,099 people. There are 640 people in four artillery companies of the brigade artillery battalion, 36 6-pounder guns, 13 people in the battalion headquarters, and 52 baggage platoons, a total of 705 people. The cavalry battalion of the brigade has 10 people in a squad, 44 people in a platoon, 176 people in a company, 5 people in the company department, 12 people in the communication guard squad, 12 people in the cooking squad, 12 people in the breeder, a total of 217 people, 15 people in a battalion and a battalion headquarters, and 44 people in the forage platoon, a total of 927 people. A brigade has four infantry battalions, plus 35 brigade headquarters and 35 field hospitals, a total of 6,098 people.

The Second Army has three brigades and a full strength of 18,500 troops.

Xia Yang frowned after reading it: "What do you think of the General Staff, it has been expanded to 50,000 people all of a sudden, how can there be so many people, even if there are so many people, how can there be so much money." ”

"That's what Leng Tianbing thinks about." Zheng Jiang explained, "Jiang Beiming and Han Wantao currently have a total of 25,000 people, let's work hard, recruit troops from the entire Hainan Island, and then get another 5,000 people to form the first army." The Second Army will have to be handed over to Li Fuqiang, and the territory he can now control is almost hundreds of thousands of people, let him fight for it, and the Second Army will all be conscripted in Vietnam and Phnom Penh, which will also help the situation in South Vietnam. ”

Xia Yang returned the plan to Zheng Jiang: "I don't care about the army's affairs, you can do it." But we really don't have much military spending, and what about those homeless people, you have to help me figure out a way. ”

"Lao Xia, don't worry." Zheng Jiang said, "Many of Leng Tianbing's formations are cooking classes and baggage teams, I don't think these people are soldiers, you can recruit some of them from the homeless, and solve your problem first." ”
