Chapter 549: Preface 3

Outside Tu City, the fighting has basically subsided, but the sound of practice in the camp is still there.

The regiment under my command was also equipped with all kinds of firearms, and there were clear and eye-catching salvos in a line, although from fifty, thirty, to twenty paces, the probability of landing on target was still worrying.

But under the direct teaching of the pro-direct regiment that I incorporated into it, I at least already knew how to align the guns and firing batches in order to obtain a local relative bullet density.

Then, with further adjustments to the formation change command, they tried to maintain a diagonal and slow forward shooting posture, and began to move forward slowly.

However, they did not go far, and soon because of the undulations of the ground and the difference in pace, the two horizontal lines of the team were gradually dragged and torn into many uneven segments.

Then I had to stop at the whistle of the officer, take the small flag bearer as the base, regroup and align on the spot, then move on, and then spread out and regroup again, and so on.

It is also possible to see the differences and advantages and disadvantages of individuals from this.

Like the general Tang Huai, who I care about more, he is actually a bold uncle who is good at wielding a spear, and he is a little clumsy when he uses a fire gun;

And the Southern Song Dynasty scholars in another time and space called Li Qiong, who was born with a bone in the back of his head, is more like a typical fierce general brother, often habitually holding the fire gun in his hand as a hand-to-hand weapon.

A lot has happened during this time,

Just when I thought that with the successive convictions of a cadre and others, the matter of the Taipingzhou military mutiny would be closed and slowly subsided.

At this time, in the court of Guangfu, another major event happened. According to the latest news sent by Xie Mingxian.

The general chapter of the Grand Counsellor's Office, Sun Jingbang, a military and mighty general in front of the Inspector's Palace, suddenly submitted to the three divisions of the procuratorate, Weiwei and other military departments for joint investigation and trial on the grounds of the pre-military malpractice case.

It was for a time that the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

You must know that this mighty general Sun Jingbang, but Mrs. Chen recommended and visited for me, the "big" who is one of the four pillars of the "three elders and one big" in the Beiren Party, and is also the representative of the young Zhuang faction in the Beiren Party.

Although he was born in a family of generals in Nantou, he started from the bottom, and with his real military exploits in Yanbian, he walked step by step, among the few high-level people in the dynasty.

Even the head manager of the camp on the southeast road has to pay three respects to this more senior and prosperous senior.

Before, if it weren't for the heavy brand of the Beiren Party on his body, at least he would have a place in the commander of the three-way Northern Expeditionary Army.

As a side effect of his sudden lifting of this lid, it was his father-in-law and early sponsor, one of the three elders of the Beiren Party, a veteran of the former prime minister of the Duzhi branch, known as the leader of the cargo colony system - Li Chong, the prince of Shen County, so he fell ill.

In this way, coupled with the fact that Gongguan was forced to sue the old man before, he promoted An Shigao, the four-legged pillar of the Beiren Party, and now there is only one Shangshu left servant shooting, Da Sikong, and Boluo County Gonggaocen, who is independently supporting the overall situation.

Sun Jingbang's move also means the split of the Beiren Party, as well as the establishment of the so-called New Beiren Party, also known as the Beiren Qingliu, as opposed to the turbidity of the old Beiren Party.

And from this, he actively moved closer to the prison state and voted for his name, as well as clearly expressed the position of his own faction.

After such a split, the Old North People's Party is already seriously injured, and the New North People's Party, which has been separated, also needs to continue to rely on the prison because of its insufficient foundation.

Such a situation is undoubtedly the most ideal result for the small imperial court where Jiang Ning is staying. Obviously, there are still some capable people around the prison country.

Therefore, in order to avoid this muddy water, I can only find excuses and reasons to continue to stay outside for a while, such as training the sergeants of these training regiments on the spot......

meanwhile

Cai Hou's private residence in Stone Town, in the courtyard of lights. Many people in purple clothes are also raising their glasses to celebrate with a drink. As one of the biggest behind-the-scenes heroes,

Cai Hou is also quite impressive, looking at all kinds of faces, and slowly drinking and muttering about the taste of the wine......

Although in terms of military strategy and even military affairs, these people have always been a little sparse and ordinary, but in the struggle for power in the court, intrigue and the king's precursor, who can they take over from their generation.

Since his semi-retirement, although he has still not been able to stand in the foreground, the convenience and leeway to act have become more than before. Looking at affairs and interests, he is much clearer and calmer than before.

This time, he succeeded in persuading and persuading Sun Jingbang, the stalwart of the most powerful Beiren Party in the Eastward Expansion faction, the mighty general Sun Jingbang, to openly break with the people and things of the past and set up his own faction.

Therefore, this time, the prison state specially summoned him to ask him if he intended to come back, become governor of the Privy Council, and return to the position of participating in politics or ministering affairs, but he politely refused.

After all, for his feelings and experiences during this time, what could be more awe-inspiring and rewarding than retreating into the background, not caring about the brunt of the blame, or the risk of being the king's precursor, and being able to continue to manipulate personnel and scheming.

Only, in the row of Stone Town.

The prison country, which had only been happy for a few days just now, felt haggard because of a sudden news, and the endless incidents and crises made him unable to stop and comfort for a moment, and exhausted his energy and time.

The Gao Pet Division, who had finally crossed the river to help, finally withstood the large-scale invasion of the feudal Hu migration, and restabilized the front and situation in the north of Jingnan Province and Jiangxi Province, which were in danger.

However, at this time, there was bad news on the Western Front, and the Western Route Army, which had maintained relatively intact strength in the Northern Expedition, fought fiercely in the Meridian Valley west of Hanzhong and Chencang Road in the north, and several units of the Western Army that had broken the contract and attacked on a large scale.

At this time, a small local military town that was originally subdued suddenly gathered troops in Changliu Town to rebel, not only set fire to the baggage piled up in the rear, causing the frontline army to waver, but also attacked the defense line of the Western Route Army, and broke the Tongshan Pass in the northeast of Hanzhong.

It was the seventy or eighty thousand Western Route Coalition troops who were reorganizing in the local area, so they were caught off guard and hurriedly responded to several battles, and repeated battles were not conducive to the loss of soldiers and generals.

It was lost one after another, so the Chenggu, Baocheng, and even Nanzheng and Xixian counties to which Hanzhong County belonged, before the news came out, the remnants of the West Route Army had been defeated all the way across Dingjun Mountain, and retreated to the Lizhou area.

So much so that he only felt that he was living like a mason or pastemaker who was plugging and mending leaks everywhere, in a large mansion that was already in decay and leaking on all sides, and was tired of coping and rescuing from emergencies.

In order to barely keep the complete defeat of the Northern Expedition, he sat on the last bit of victory south of the Yangtze River and the dignity of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, can you take Huaidong's soldiers and horses,"

At this time, there are naturally people around you who are intimate to relieve your worries, and specially build a yƬ road

"Send one or most of them back to listen to the ...... to respond to the ...... for a while"

"After all, hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent every month,"

"This. Still not right......"

Jian Guo seemed to be moved, and after thinking about it, he still categorically vetoed this proposal.

"The front is important, don't move lightly ......"

Then he sighed again,

Although these people around him have some skills and means in political affairs and court disputes, they are obviously deficient in the important military affairs and overall situation. Otherwise, why would he go to borrow extra weight and win over those new promotions and generals in the army.

Although the land of Huaidong is only the entry point and echo of the Northern Expedition in the future, it has a reason and necessity that cannot be lost.

Because of its own survival, it is equivalent to strategically cutting off the pressure from the north of the Yellow River, and attracting most of the attention of the enemies of the Central Plains.

In this way, the Northern Expedition of the National Dynasty will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort, and easily take the Huaisi Passage and face the heart of the Central Plains.

Therefore, he may be able to do this from someone else's standpoint, but as the commander of the prison country and the base camp, he can't, because this lonely corner of the northern land also represents the last dignity and dignity of the Northern Expedition led and initiated by him.

Therefore, once it is lost, it will be irretrievable, especially if it is up to him to make a decision, and the feasibility of the director is out of control, and with it, the all-out counterattack and condemnation of those old ministers,

After all, it can still be justified to give up some places of depth because of the critical situation or the disparity in strength.

But now the basic situation in Huaidong, not even a tense and critical situation, but because of the decision of the superior to give up the responsibility of losing the land, it is enough to make him shameless to enter the national temple.

Not to mention becoming the pretext for a new round of attacks and denunciations by those Qingwang people who like to gain fame in the DPRK and China, or various forces that secretly oppose the national policy.

Even if he was the head of the shogunate, he still supported himself as the eldest son, but his popularity and military morale among his subjects were bound to be greatly damaged, and he had to rely more on the old power of those patriarchs.

Thinking of this, he looked at it with some annoyance, this person who seemed to have intentions but had some bad ideas, but he had made up his mind that it was time to let them out.

Otherwise, if you stay by your side all the time, it is easy to become some kind of disguised encouragement and indulgence to them, always calculating the power struggle and encroachment.

As an eagle dog lackey, you should also be properly released for activities, otherwise if you stay in one place, it is easy to bite yourself first because of the lack of prey.

"Summoning Vice President Liu Shu to come to ......"

The prison state announced.

"Something to call ......"
