Chapter 30 Cao Zhijian and Wang Jincai are desperate

Chu Jun, Chu Xun and even the entire Nanming are now in a period of rapid development, and the internal talent promotion channel is broad and clear, which can be described as thirsty for talent, as long as you have the ability, you will definitely be able to be promoted, and give full play to your talents in a suitable position.

In the long run, the selection and promotion of talents must be standardized, for example, the imperial examination system is a mechanism for the selection of civil officials as fair as possible, and military generals must be judged by military merit, seniority, and experience. With the rapid development and expansion of the Chu army, it is impossible for Wang Kefan to understand the specific situation of each middle and grassroots officer, so over the past year or so, the Chu army has been gradually establishing its own personnel management system and putting the right people in the right posts as much as possible.

This is also a part of the reform of the military system, to which Wang Kefan attaches great importance, and only by establishing a set of practical personnel management systems and opening up the channels for the rise of officers and soldiers at the grassroots level can the Chu army continue to spit out the old and absorb the new, adjust itself, maintain benign development all the time, and gradually transform the feudal army into a more cohesive modern army.

After the completion of the reform of the military system, no high-ranking general of the Chu army is irreplaceable, and Wang Kefan's control over the army will reach an unprecedented level, and through the management organs such as the General Staff Department and the Soldiers' Comrades Association, his personal will can be implemented in every nerve ending unit of the Chu army, turning this army into an invincible sword in his hands.

However, this process cannot be achieved overnight, and no system can be exhaustive, not to mention that the personnel system of the Chu army is not perfect, and people like Wang Kebin, Jingliang, and Heiyu, who are around Wang Kefan, have more or less taken advantage of them...... There is no doubt about their loyalty. Wang Kefan is also very clear about everyone's strengths and weaknesses, so he can always arrange suitable positions and give full play to their abilities as much as possible. Wang Kebin, who has high hopes, has also received special care and has been exercising and sharpening at the grassroots level.

Due to the limitations of his own conditions, it is impossible for Blackfish to be a general in charge alone, and it is most suitable for him to be placed in the military justice team. In fact, he did a really good job, and he quickly entered the role when he came to the military justice team, and handled several important cases in less than two months, mentioning the famous name of "white-eyed wolf". No one in the Chu army knows it, no one knows it.

Hearing that the "white-eyed wolf" was coming, the whole Changsha battalion was very nervous. They had just lost a battle in Lingshan, and the white-eyed wolf came to Changsha at this time, and it was clear that it was a night owl who had entered the house and had nothing to do.

You guessed it! The black fish came to the battle of Lingshan. And also with Wang Kefan's handwritten instructions. Investigate the rout in the Battle of Lingshan.

Wang Kefan's letter was written to Cao Zhijian, and Cao Zhijian was very cooperative after reading it, and together with Heiyu, he quickly determined the person responsible for the rout of Lingshan, including a thousand generals, two generals, and more than a dozen commanders and soldiers.

After several days of rain, the sky suddenly cleared, in front of the Changsha camp in front of Lingshan. Thousands of soldiers lined up in a neat line, battle flags fluttering. Ready.

Cao Zhijian, dressed in military uniform, stepped onto the wooden platform that had been erected in front of the team, and gave a loud lecture to the soldiers.

"Brethren! As you all know, my old Cao and the Tartars have a deep blood feud, when the Tartars entered the customs, my family died on the battlefield, and I was the only one who hid under the dead corpse to pick up a life, and I didn't want to avenge them all the time over the years. But the Tartar soldiers are too fierce, my old Cao can't bear revenge, I have to be a shrinking turtle all these years, and every time I think about it, I can't help but shed tears, ashamed of my ancestors......"

Cao Zhijian was wearing heavy armor, but he didn't wear a helmet on his head, only a white filial piety belt was tied, which flew behind his head with the breeze. Speaking of emotion, he couldn't help choking back tears, his face was full of perseverance and unwillingness, and thousands of soldiers were infected by him, and the crowd was excited.

"The Tartar soldiers are hateful, the fake Tartars are even more hateful, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi were all generals of our Ming Dynasty back then, and after surrendering the Tartars, they killed the Han people more ruthlessly than the Tartars, how many sins did they create after they entered Huguang? Xiangtan, Baima, Shaoyang...... How many Hunan folks have had their heads cut off, you are all Hunan soldiers, do you want to take revenge? ”

"Revenge!"

"Kill all the fake tartars!"

"Kill all the dog traitors!"

The soldiers shouted.

"Zhang Cunren in Shangrao City is also such a fake Tartar, much worse than Kong Youde, my old Cao wanted to enter Shangrao City and cut off his head. Hehe, can't our Changsha camp beat the real Tartar, can't we beat the fake Tartar Zhang Cunren? But I didn't expect that we just suffered a defeat in Lingshan, and we broke hundreds of brothers at once......"

He waved his hand back, and the soldiers of the military law team escorted a dozen people to the front of the stage, and the black fish scanned the audience with an expressionless face, and the needles in the field could be heard.

"We have 2,000 soldiers in this battle of Lingshan, and Zhang Cunren only sent 1,000 soldiers, which was originally a battle that must be won, but because of these few bad races, as soon as they entered the battlefield, they were frightened and ran back, and were chased by the Tartars and killed hundreds of our brothers. You say, 'What should you do with them?' ”

"Kill!"

"Beat the baton, beat these bastards!"

"Cut off their heads!"

The soldiers shouted in a chaotic manner.

"Shame on you! It's a shame! Lao Tzu is going to cut off their heads today, sacrifice the flag and go out to take down Lingshan! If I can't take Lingshan this time, my Lao Cao will have no face to see Wang Junmen, and I will have to pull out a knife and wipe my neck, but who wants to learn from them to be a bad seed, before Lao Tzu wipes his neck, cut off his head first......"

The black fish took a few steps forward and read aloud the order of the military law team, and then with the swing of the executioner's steel knife, the heads fell to the ground one by one, splashing a cloud of dust and blood.

The corners of Cao Zhijian's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and then he pulled out his saber from his waist with a snort, raised it high to the sky, and shouted loudly: "Pass on my general order, the whole battalion will launch a general attack on Lingshan, and if you don't take Lingshan, you will not withdraw your troops!" ”

……

At the same time, dozens of miles away, in the white duck beak southwest of Shangrao, Wang Jincai was also mobilizing before the war.

“…… Today we are going to fight Bali Fort in the south of the city, and the Tartars guarding Bali Fort are Jiangxi Green Battalion, and they were all Zuo Liangyu's subordinates at the beginning, brothers, are you afraid? Wang Jincai asked the soldiers loudly.

"Don't be afraid!"

"I'm afraid of hanging! Zuo Liangyu's subordinates are all rabbit soldiers, and they were killed by us with their butts! ”

Wang Jincai's Pingjiang Battalion was born in the Dashun Army, and fought with Zuo Liangyu for more than ten years, and he could win eight battles out of ten, which had a very obvious psychological advantage.

"Yes, these guys were killed by us, and when they shaved their heads, did they become three heads and six arms? I, Wang Jincai, were the first to disbelieve it. Let's take down Balibao today, and then fight Shangrao tomorrow, if you have the ability, you will eat meat, and if you don't have the ability, you will eat, Lao Tzu is fighting this time, and we must seize Shangrao before Cao Zhijian......"

Balibao is the most important Qing army stronghold in the southeast outside Shangrao City, and its location is very important. Because of the troubled times, the villagers here built a strong fortress, which was repeatedly reinforced and built after being occupied by the Qing army, like a small city, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If Cao Zhijian captures Lingshan and Wang Jincai captures Balibao, he will be able to complete the encirclement of Shangrao. (To be continued......)
