Chapter 515: The Great Shun Army Perished
Hearing Zhang Qiang's question, Xiao Fei continued: "The Ming army of He Tengjiao's department did not dare to stay longer on the Shaanxi-Gansu border, and after fighting with the Dajin army in Shangluo for a period of time, the whole army retreated to Ankang,"
"How many troops do they have?" Zhang Qiang asked.
"According to the reconnaissance of the Merlin Fish Department of the 21st Field Brigade, there are about 30,000 elites and 70,000 remnants, most of whom are prisoners and people, and according to Wu Sangui's department guarding Hanzhong Mansion, they have soldiers and people fleeing every day, and their supplies are seriously insufficient."
Xiao Fei replied cautiously.
"Well, as long as they don't break into our defended Hubei Prefecture, they can go wherever they want, leave them alone, let them go dog-eat-dog, the point is that the ethnic minorities in our occupied areas must have less contact, more kindness, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
But if they are at fault, or if they take the initiative to attack us, we must resolutely eliminate them, and we must not let us passively accept them, and at the same time, we must do a good job of gradually encroaching on their living territory and settling our people into it.
These troops will definitely not need them to fight in the future, but let them settle in the local area, fill the population of a large amount of territory lost by the war, and at the same time dilute the population of those ethnic minorities, and gradually dilute their influence with the habits and customs of our Han people.
This is a long-term job, and after you do this, you will hand it over to Gu Yuesheng and them to be responsible. You mainly pay attention to the Dajin State, the Dajin State with Haoge's mind will not be able to defeat the Qing State, and will inevitably lose in the end, when the time comes, you must grab more territory, grab more troops, and after you come back, you will be reorganized into the militia units, and after the review, the elite will enter the garrison camp, and after a few years, you can promote their people to the field brigade of the regular troops of the Huaxia Army. β
Saying this, Zhang Qiang stopped speaking and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Fei asked cautiously, "How does the Loyalty Camp operate?" β
Zhang Qiang said: "You contact the Ministry of Military Intelligence about this, let me tell you that Wang Neng in Gao Yigong is the Fuzi of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, and that unit is also a unit under the control of the Ministry of Military Intelligence. Let that staff general be Wang Neng's deputy, if he can succeed, quickly dispatch a garrison regiment over to set up a new field brigade, which should be the 27th field brigade, let Wang Neng temporarily act as the commander of the staff general, and that field brigade will be positioned as a second-class field brigade. In the future, it will be stationed in Nanyang Mansion,"
Xiao Fei said again: "Then the battle into Henan Prefecture is still fought by our division?" He knew that Zhang's emphasis on Xuanyuan Longfei's Fifth Field Brigade must be to train Xuanyuan Longfei, so he was worried that this third phase of the campaign was commanded by Xuanyuan Longfei.
Don't say it, Zhang Qiang is really interested in wanting Xuanyuan Longfei to command this battle, Xuanyuan Longfei can start from Wuchang, directly lead the troops into Henan Prefecture, and attack from where Wang Guangtai's Runing Mansion is, from Nanyang Mansion, Zhumadian and other places to attack upwards and recover Henan Prefecture.
At present, Xiao Fei is in control, the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first field brigades, as well as a cavalry brigade, an artillery brigade, plus a militia brigade, and other field brigade troops, Zhang Qiang's idea is that Xiao Fei will be a senior officer of a division-level combat unit, and this configuration will be a standard division-level configuration in the future, and the other field brigades will fall into Henan Mansion to cooperate with Xuanyuan Longfei to attack the Qing army, and Hubei Prefecture will be garrisoned by Xiao Fei's division.
"Well, the future goals of your department are mainly the Dajin Kingdom and the Four Mountains, the Qing army and the Southern Ming warlords of Yungui, as well as the remnants of the Tusi army, the task is heavy, I just want to let Xuanyuan Long Fei preside over the third phase of the campaign."
Zhang Qiang replied.
Xiao Fei was a little disappointed, he would change from a general with hundreds of thousands of troops to a division commander with only tens of thousands of troops.
Zhang Qiang patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "The credit can't be taken by one person, there are still many people behind and in front of you who are not as good as you, give everyone some misses, isn't it?" β
Xiao Fei hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, what the Metropolitan Governor said is right, I am not such a greedy person." β
Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I didn't misread anyone, I will adjust your unit to the 19th, 20th, and 21st Field Brigades, plus the Fifth Cavalry Brigade of Gaohui and the Seventh Brigade of Zhao Siyang Artillery Brigade, under your command, your army will be the spearhead of the attack, and at the same time, it will also be the Great Wall of Steel to defend the enemy, and you can't relax."
Your current task is to monitor the Dajin Kingdom and the Four Mountains, the enemy of Yungui is on the line, and the rest of the garrison places are handed over to the garrison commander to do, Brother Zhu's Seventh Field Brigade, I will also be transferred to Henan Prefecture to fight, directly commanded by Xuanyuan Longfei.
He commanded well in Guangzhou Mansion, this time it's time for him to be in the limelight, you can rest first, the limelight is too strong and not good, just look at Wei Wuji's family to understand this, guarding Jinling Mansion for several years without a trace of resentment. And it did quite well, Hong Chengchou, the old thief, was stunned and didn't take advantage of it. β
"Hehe," Xiao Fei could only smile, but he couldn't say anything, how could he compare with Wei Wuji, that was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Defense under the direct management of the Grand Governor.
Now Wei Wuji has also returned to the center, officially doing the work of the Ministry of National Defense, and the front line has been handed over to Jin Qi, and it is impossible to leave the center this time.
"By the way, the Governor of Dadu, the adjustment of the various ministries has been completed, the troops that should go back to various places have gone back, the troops that should go to the garrison have also gone, and the troops that should be transferred have also been transferred, and now you have arranged for me to keep an eye on Dajin Kingdom, are we going to fight Dajin Kingdom after we finish fighting Henan Province?"
"Let's be quiet for a few years, we need to develop and stabilize so much territory, although we have adjusted the people, but the forces that resist us are still making trouble underneath, we must eliminate them mentally and ideologically, not just occupy the territory. The restrictions of our Huaxia army on those big businessmen have made those big businessmen, especially those who are big businessmen in their ancestors very unconvinced, and we need to make great efforts to appease them, and use their strength to appease the people, so that we can have long-term peace and stability. β
After talking to Xiao Fei, within a few days, the Gao clan sent someone to ask Zhang Qiang to send troops to take over her guards, officially announcing that the Dashun Army had defected to the Huaxia Army, and the Dashun Army had completely ended its historical mission in her, the nominal leader.
The news from the Gao clan that she imprisoned Li Guo, suspended his leadership mission, and persuaded Gao Yigong that under the suppression of a regiment of Huaxia troops sent by Wang Yuqun, with the cooperation of Wang Neng, Gao Yigong had to obey her orders, lay down his arms, and return to the Huaxia army, and some of the resisting Dashun troops were mercilessly disposed of.
After knowing the news, Zhang Qiang ordered Xuanyuan Longfei to take the Fifth Field Brigade from Wuchang Mansion, and the Seventh Field Brigade Zhu Ge led the army to cross the border line into Nanyang Mansion and occupy the passage to the north.
The commander of the 24th Field Brigade, Qin Mo, entered Wuchang Mansion and took over the defense of Wuchang Mansion.
Subsequently, the 22nd Field Brigade also entered Nanyang Mansion and was under the command of Xuanyuan Longfei.
Xuanyuan Longfei commanded the 22nd Field Brigade, the 7th Field Brigade, the 5th Field Brigade, and Wang Neng's 27th Field Brigade.
Wang Guangtai, party leader Su, Liu Guoxuan, Gao Yigong, Gao Jie (this Gao Jie is not the Gao Jie who cuckolded Li Zicheng before, but just a Dashun military general with the same name.) A few days later, they were temporarily appointed as the head of the garrison regiment, stationed in Nanyang Prefecture and Runing Prefecture in various counties, with the official rank of general and military attachΓ©.
Gao was taken back to the Jinhua Center, and with her was his women's barracks, as well as the families of the soldiers of the Dashun Army's loyal battalion, as well as the prince of the Dashun Army, and Li Guo, who was imprisoned.
The Great Shun Army became history at this moment.
