Chapter 288: Dealing with Chaos Look upward

Although Henan is an inland province, his soldiers and horses belong to the second-line troops in Shanxi, and Henan is the heart of the Central Plains, and the geographical location is particularly important. Of course, if this is the case, it is doubtful that the intention of transferring troops is indeed the meaning of some grass and trees.

At present, except for the southern provinces and areas with salt income, the rest of the troops live on the grain on the ground, and it is already very difficult to support themselves and pay taxes, let alone to support the officers and soldiers.

Therefore, except for the guards who farmed their own land, the rest of the soldiers began to change their guards for a period of time, so as not to hurt the vitality of the place.

However, it is not surprising that the guards of Henan Province alone have been mobilized, but the soldiers and horses of the North and South Zhili have all begun to be mobilized, which is a big problem.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the focus of military defense is the nine sides, in other words, it is to hoard heavy troops in the current Sanbei region, as for the internal areas such as Shandong, the military force is not strong, and there are often vassal kings in these places, if there is a large army, it is inevitable that there will be collusion.

In Shandong now, the highest-ranking military attache is a guerrilla, and the establishment of high-ranking officials such as staff generals and chief military officers is still when the Japanese are powerful, but now Jiangfeng is guarding, and the whole territory is really too peaceful and stable, and according to the usual practice, troops and horses should be sent to other provinces.

Jiang Feng looked at the simple icons on the map, combined with the detailed description of the transfer in his hand, and conjured up thousands of troops in front of him, which were already surrounded by Dengzhou, tightly surrounded by Shandong, and couldn't help but feel a burst of anger, and slapped the documents in his hand on the table.

"Damn, I haven't thought about it yet, they actually forced the door."

This kind of bandit logic that I am not ready to rebel and you actually do it, Liu Twelve didn't take it to heart at all, but just opened his mouth to analyze and say:

"Now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses mobilized around Shandong, and Dongchang and Qingzhou have also changed their garrisons, although I dare not make an accurate judgment, but the soldiers and horses in Shandong that are worth taking seriously are just one of our Dengzhou."

30,000 soldiers and horses, Jiang Feng probably understood in his heart that if the imperial court used these 30,000 soldiers and horses, he didn't have to worry too much, there were about 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Dengzhou camp plus the four places, and there were also a number of supernumerary group training, which was also the supply of four battalions.

This is also a strange phenomenon in Shandong, even if the Ming Dynasty has more or less empty quota on the nine sides, otherwise how can the leader of the army have money to make money, only a few large battalions led by Shandong Jiangfeng, all of them are full and set up regimental training in the local area, which can be regarded as excessive, these soldiers and horses are full of silver.

In fact, all of these regimental exercises were under the control of Jiang Feng's officers, and the local authorities could not intervene at all, and several workshops in Dengzhou, Laiwu, and Yanzhou hoarded a large number of weapons. It is a pity that these regiments were quickly turned into regular troops.

The regular army plus regimental training, a total of more than 16,000 people, and full of training, excellent weapons, the surrounding 30,000 soldiers and horses and the soldiers of the other three provinces in Shandong are not afraid, but the Ming Dynasty is not only these soldiers and horses, if they really fight and defeat the 30,000, the follow-up army is endless, and they can't afford to rely on Dengzhou at all.

Patting his forehead with his hand, Jiang Feng suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Liu Twelve:

"How many of your men from Weishan Island are in the army now?"

Liu Twelve quickly thought about it and replied:

"There are about 650 people in total, and some of them came here later."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng asked Liu Twelve another rather strange question, and said:

"How many of these people do you really have?"

When this question was asked, Liu Twelve was shocked there, but he thought that Jiang Feng was wary of these people on Weishan Island, and after thinking about it for a while, he reacted, and said after consideration:

"There are 400 people who are from my Liu family's family soldiers, and they can be regarded as mastery, but now they are all in Luoyi's Shijiu camp, and there is no contact with them on weekdays."

Jiang Feng didn't think about it that much at all, and said to himself:

"Now you go down and make arrangements, I want these people to go to your brother's village in the Yimeng Mountains immediately, and I will arrange the money, food, and weapons immediately."

Liu Twelve breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately understood Jiang Feng's intentions, the cottage controlled by "Wen Dao" is now six or seven hundred people, since Yi Mengduo bandits, Wen Dao's methods are ruthless, and Enwei has already controlled a lot of surrounding forces, and it is said that it can also mobilize two or three thousand people.

But now that the years are gradually recovering, and the people's hearts are pursuing stability, it is not at all a good time for rebellion, or, in modern parlance, there is no mass base. Liu Twelve also said this analysis, Jiang Feng sneered, and said disdainfully:

"Thousands of bandits going down the mountain is a catastrophe, didn't the White Lotus Sect participate in the last time Chen Deaf rebelled? We spend money to make them make trouble! ”

Neither side considered how much disaster would be caused by the movement of thousands of bandits. Ordinary people have no right to speak, Jiang Feng immediately arranged for Zhao Xiucai to go down to allocate silver taels, Liu Twelve also beckoned his family to go to Shijiu to find the principal there, Liu Twelve also understood in his heart that with the expansion of Jiang Feng's power, most of the original veterans would become middle and lower-level officers.

In this way, although the current Weishan Island people are only five or six hundred people, if they take root in the camp, they cannot be underestimated in the future, but Jiang Feng's order, Liu Twelve has no room for refutation, since he has put his net worth and life on Jiang Feng's body, he can only go according to his arrangement.

What's more, the current arrangement, I'm afraid it can only be like this, the surrounding troop and horse mobilization must be aimed at Dengzhou, if the first hand is lost, in the future, Jiang Feng's faction of tens of thousands of people and horses will probably die without a place to be buried.

Jiang Feng was the only one left in the hall, and he was nervously calculating there with his chin in his hand, if something happened in Yimeng on the side of the knife, what should he do here. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but stand up and draw on the map in front of me, which is actually quite crude according to the evaluation of modern people.

The general shape of Shandong is also clearly depicted, and I don't know why Jiang Feng noticed the top of Dengzhou's position, and said to himself there:

"It's supposed to be North Korea, right?"
