Chapter 136: The Soldiers Mutiny
Just when the four fleet commanders of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire gathered together to discuss their future with the Minister of the Navy Liu Yongcheng, in Nanxi City, the capital of Longjiang Province in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire, the thirteen commanders of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire also gathered together to discuss the reorganization of the twenty-two infantry legions of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire.
Originally, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire canceled the establishment of the corps many years ago, and the maximum number of divisions retained was only divisions, but in order to resist the joint attack of the Sharad Empire, the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire had no choice but to recruit a large number of young men into various infantry divisions, making each infantry division seriously overstaffed.
Later, the Purple Moon Empire's War Department ordered the reorganization of the infantry corps at this level, basically merging several overstaffed infantry divisions into one infantry corps, plus the newly formed infantry corps later, the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army finally formed a total of twenty-seven infantry corps.
However, now the numbers of the five infantry legions have completely disappeared, and the soldiers and junior officers of these five infantry legions have been scattered among the sixty infantry divisions of the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army.
Gong Qiu, the commander of the Second Infantry Legion of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, asked Yin Baolin, the commander of the First Infantry Legion, in a deep voice, "Brother Baolin, what did Lord Yuan say?" ”
Gong Qiu was originally the division commander of the Second Infantry Division of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, and he was also an honorary viscount of the Purple Moon Empire.
Many of the corps commanders of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire were all division commanders of the main division of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire before, and as for Lord Yuan mentioned by Gong Qiu, he was referring to Yuan Lin, the Minister of War of the Purple Moon Empire.
Yin Baolin, the commander of the First Infantry Legion, shook his head and said: "Lord Yuan said that the reorganization of the remaining twenty-two infantry legions is imperative, and this is a matter decided by Her Majesty the Empress, and the reorganization plan of the Su Family Army for the twenty-two infantry legions is also approved by Her Majesty the Empress. ”
At this time, Wang Cheng, the commander of the Fourth Infantry Legion, said coldly: "Your Majesty the Empress is preparing to treat the entire Purple Moon Empire as a dowry and give it to Duke Su Yi, who is about to ascend the throne and become emperor. ”
Liu Baorong, the commander of the Fifth Infantry Corps, then sighed and said: "Her Majesty the Empress has done too much to us corps commanders and officers at all levels below this time, once we enter the so-called Army Officer Academy to study, and when we come out, the last forty infantry divisions of the Royal Army have already been formed, where can we still have a good position, at most we can hold a deputy position in a certain infantry division." ”
The other legion commanders then complained one after another, after all, no one was willing to give up the power in their hands easily.
Gong Qiu, the commander of the Second Infantry Legion, immediately asked Yin Baolin, the commander of the First Infantry Legion, "Brother Baolin, what are your plans?" ”
Yin Baolin smiled bitterly and said: "Now that the Su family army has gathered more than one and a half million troops in the southern region, and the new army of our Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army, there are also more than twenty infantry divisions that have entered the southern region, and the Su family army and the new army are still converging in the southern region, do you think that our infantry corps can have any other choice than to accept the adaptation?" ”
Yin Baolin's words made the other legion commanders show a trace of bitterness on their faces, now the Orenza army is rapidly withdrawing from the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire, but the Su family army and the new army of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire are still transferring troops to the southern region, and their intentions are almost self-evident.
Wang Cheng, the commander of the Fourth Infantry Legion, said with a cold glint in his eyes: "Our thirteen infantry legions in the southern region, even if we remove the shortages caused by the battle, there are still nearly three million people, and the nine infantry legions in other regions add up to two million people, but the Su family army only gives us twenty-two infantry legions, a total of forty infantry divisions, which means that at least two and a half million people will be cut, presumably many soldiers should not want to be cut out of the Royal Army at this time!" ”
In fact, among the various infantry legions of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, many soldiers were urgently conscripted into the army, and the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire had not been paid for a long time, so most of the soldiers were very willing to take off their military uniforms and live an ordinary life again.
However, after the appearance of the sixty newly formed infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, the remaining twenty-two infantry regiments can be said to have caused an uproar, mainly because the officers and soldiers of these sixty infantry divisions, military salaries and welfare benefits are exactly the same as those of the Su Family Army, which makes the soldiers of the remaining twenty-two infantry regiments hope that they can be incorporated into the new army of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire.
After the Su Jiajun introduced the reorganization plan for the remaining twenty-two infantry legions of the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army, it did make many soldiers of these twenty-two infantry legions suffer a little, and they were afraid of being cut off by the new army of the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army.
Yin Baolin, the commander of the First Infantry Legion, frowned slightly and asked Wang Cheng, "What does Brother Wang mean?" ”
"Trouble! The bigger the trouble, the better! Only when there is a fuss, Her Majesty the Empress and the Duke Su Yi will be willing to listen to our suggestions! ”
Beginning on January 20, 3013 in the Tang calendar, the thirteen infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire had a large-scale mutiny of soldiers because of the problem of reorganization, and two days later, many infantry regiments in other regions of the Purple Moon Empire also had large-scale soldiers making trouble.
In a mansion in Suisheng City, the capital of the Purple Moon Empire, a middle-aged officer of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire said to a young man in a respectful voice: "Young Master, according to your plan, most of the infantry corps have made trouble, and now we can only wait for the attitude of the Empress and Su Yi." ”
The young man said helplessly: "I never expected that the Shalad Empire would be defeated by the Su family army so quickly, and even the Orenza Empire immediately admitted defeat, which made our previous arrangement almost useless, if once the remaining twenty-two infantry legions of the Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army were reorganized according to the plan of the Su family, it would basically be equivalent to a catastrophe for us." ”
The middle-aged officer hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master, if we do it now, will we still have a chance?" ”
The young man shook his head and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Su family army is there, and the newly built infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire are no different from the Su family army, if you do it at this time, there is absolutely no possibility of success." ”
"Young Master, what should we do next?"
The corners of the young man's mouth curled slightly, "The Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire will retain a hundred infantry divisions in the future, since we can control one infantry regiment after another before, then why can't we also control those infantry divisions in our hands?" Now let those infantry regiments make trouble, just to install more of our people in those infantry divisions, and the people who really belong to us have not participated in the trouble. ”
When Su Yi learned that there had been a large-scale mutiny of soldiers in several infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, he was rushing from Huifeng City to Cangyu City, the capital of the former Cangyu Empire, on an armored train.
Originally, Su Yi was in a good mood, but not long after the armored train that Su Yi was riding had just departed from Huifeng City, Su Yi suddenly received a prompt from the system, congratulating him on completing the task of completely controlling more than 10 million square kilometers of territory within a year, and rewarded Su Yi with three diamond treasure chests at once.
However, before Su Yi could open the three diamond treasure chests, the telegram that a large-scale mutiny of soldiers had occurred in several infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire was delivered to Su Yi.
Su Yi handed the telegram in his hand to Wang Chengliang and Zhang Qihui, this time Su Yi went to Cangyu City, but for the sake of the founding of the country, so Wang Chengliang, the future commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, and Zhang Qihui, the commander-in-chief of the reorganized Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, were brought to Cangyu City, ready to let the two of them participate in the founding ceremony, and Su Yi was also ready to canonize Wang Chengliang and Zhang Qihui as the hereditary nobles of the Tang Empire at the founding ceremony.
Wang Chengliang finished reading the telegram and said: "Marshal, there are so many infantry legions in the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire that soldiers mutinied almost at the same time, there must be something greasy in this, and it should be instigated by those high-level officers behind the scenes, according to the reorganization plan given by our Su Family Army, the high-level officers of the remaining twenty-two infantry legions are equivalent to being deprived of military power, and they must be unwilling." ”
Zhang Qihui continued: "Marshal, those soldiers who participated in the mutiny should be suppressed immediately, and we can't affect our Su Family's plan to control the entire Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire because of the high-ranking officers of the twenty-two infantry legions who are hungry for profit." ”
At this moment, Du Zhongtie, the captain of the guards, sent a telegram from Empress Ouyang Xue to Su Yi, and after reading Empress Ouyang Xue's telegram, Su Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said to Wang Chengliang and Zhang Qihui: "Xiaoxue sent a telegram, hoping that I will not use force to suppress the mutinous soldiers of various infantry regiments. ”
Wang Chengliang pondered for a while and said: "Marshal, if you don't suppress it, you will only have to expand the number of newly formed infantry divisions, but the high-ranking officers of the twenty-two infantry regiments will be a trouble after all. ”
Su Yi snorted coldly and said: "Even if the number of the new infantry division is expanded, the high-level officers of the twenty-two infantry regiments don't want to directly enter the new infantry division, and those soldiers who lead the trouble, it is impossible for the new infantry division to want them." ”
