2220 Construction of the Chu State New Army

"Put all of this in, hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yang Xuan commanded his men to concentrate all their supplies in Lingyang Town.

"Sir, why are all these supplies gathered here, we can't defend these places at all, if the Goguryeo people come, all our supplies will be captured." A captain officer asked, puzzled. Because they were very worried that such supplies would be seized by the Goguryeo, in this case, their losses would be very large.

"Yes, I just want the Goguryeo people to capture it." Yang Xuan replied.

"Ahh Sir. The captain was astonished.

"Sir, let's spread the supplies around. If we seize it, we'll have nothing. There are also these canned food, which were eaten by the Goguryeo people. It might as well be given to the brethren. In this way, the brothers will be able to eat something. The captain said greedily.

"You know how to eat. These things are used to lure those Goguryeo people into being deceived. Yang Xuan said angrily.

"It's all like you, our Yan Kingdom will lose more land, not only Liaodong can't stand it, but even Liaoxi will have to lose." Yang Xuan said angrily.

"This." The captain wiped the back of his head and looked at his commander.

"Go. Spread them all out. In addition, some things have to be scattered on the street to make it look like we don't have time to carry. It's a little messy. Yang Xuan ordered at this time.

"This." The captain looked at his commander.

"Go ahead. It's just a mess up and it just makes it look like we're running away. Yang Xuan ordered at this time.

"Sir, can we eat something?" At this time, the captain asked boldly.

"Hmm." Yang Xuan nodded.

"You can eat as much as you want, but you can't finish it, and it looks like you can't finish it and throw it away, understand?" Yang Xuan ordered to the captain.

"Yes. Understood, sir. The captain replied with a smile. Then the captain hurried out of the place.

After the captain left, Yang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, for such a thing. He also felt very helpless, although his troops had canned food to eat every day, the soldiers were still reluctant to throw away the good canned food, especially some soldiers, even if they didn't want ammunition, they had to carry a large amount of canned food. They are all poor and afraid of not being able to eat meat.

And more than fifty miles east of Lingyang Town.

"Lao Li. Throw our cans down. I don't want these things anymore. "A second lieutenant officer on horseback ordered with a telescope in his hand.

"What? Sir, canned? A veteran asked puzzled.

"Yes. It's canned. And your new pair of boots, throw one when you walk a while, and another one halfway through. The lieutenant put down the telescope in his hand and ordered.

"This. Sir. I haven't even worn these boots yet. This, this is what I got with great difficulty from the Qin State Quartermaster's Department. The veteran said reluctantly.

"What are you afraid of, it's not just a pair of boots. I'll give you a pair when the time comes. The second lieutenant said.

"This, sir, said lightly, these boots, I think it is still, I don't want it." Lao Li shook his head and said.

"You old turtle grandson." The second lieutenant scolded.

"I know how to count small money and small accounts. Wait until this battle is won. Do you still care about a pair of boots? The second lieutenant said dissatisfied.

"I said, sir, it's not easy to buy these boots, don't throw them away." Lao Li pleaded.

"No, you have to throw it, only in this way can you make the Goguryeo people relax." The second lieutenant ordered.

"This." Lao Li is still very embarrassed.

"If you don't throw these boots, believe it or not, I will let you be captured by the Yan people. Do you hear that? The second lieutenant was intimidated.

"This. All right. Lao Li nodded helplessly in agreement.

"Don't worry, when these Goguryeo people are killed, I will give you a brand new pair of officer boots. Tall boots, much better than your broken boots. The second lieutenant was reassured.

"If you have such a thing, I, Lao Li, will listen to you." Hearing that his commander was going to give him a pair of officer boots, Lao Li was very excited. But he still reluctantly touched his boots. Because he still can't bear it.

"Alright. It's time to retreat. The Goguryeo people rushed over. The second lieutenant took the binoculars and saw the Goguryeo people slowly approaching, and in order to prevent his own people from being captured by the other side, he had to quickly evacuate here.

"Retreat, retreat." The second lieutenant waved his arms and let his men retreat as quickly as possible. Keep a safe distance from the Goguryeo people.

The Yan army quickly retreated. The soldiers remained in a certain formation, and the officers were behind urging those who had fallen behind to speed up their pace, and they did not seem to panic at all.

After the Yan army maintained a marching distance. The second lieutenant began to order his own soldiers to throw away something.

"I don't want any backpacks on my body. Throw. Hurry up and throw it. The second lieutenant ordered.

Some soldiers did not understand, but some soldiers had already begun to untie their backpack straps and throw them away. They wanted to throw it away for a long time. Because this thing is too heavy to carry, they can't speed up, and now their own commander is so ordered, they are naturally willing to obey.

After the Yan army had run some distance, the second lieutenant looked back and saw that some Goguryeo people were following, and ordered his men to continue throwing things.

"Carried by straps, bullet straps, all thrown away. Useless things, all thrown away. The lieutenant continued to order.

"Throw, throw." Some of the soldiers had already thrown away these things before they could wait for the order from their commanders. They now feel like everything in them is superfluous.

After running some distance, the soldier had only water bottles, clothes, guns, and excess bullet belts thrown away. Some of the soldiers were open and bad, and the armed belts had been thrown the last time they were thrown. Instinctively, some soldiers threw their shirts away. Because it's too hot. If they don't have time to take off their pants, they want to throw them away.

"The kettle, the guns, they all threw at me. The clothes are also recognized. As he spoke, the lieutenant threw away his saber and pistol.

"Throw it, it's the chief's order anyway." As he spoke, some of the soldiers also threw away their weapons and simply took off their shirts. The kettle took a sip and then threw it away as well. These things don't matter to them anymore anyway.

The second lieutenant was ordered to lure the Goguryeo people into falling for it, and the Goguryeo people were usually very greedy for these things. Because their tribe is poor, they need to spend a lot of ginseng to get these things. It's a torn blouse, and they're willing to wear it. "Run, run." The lieutenant commanded loudly. Then they ran to their rear as fast as they could, and as for what to do with these things, it was no longer their business.

"Leader Li, are we chasing too much?" **Somewhat worried. He was worried that his own people were luring them into being deceived, and in this case, maybe there was really an ambush ahead, and in that case, his own life would be lost.

"Oh." Li Chi stopped at this time, and he felt that what ** said made a lot of sense.

Report. Sir. A Goguryeo soldier reported in the Central Plains dialect. Li Chi believed that his tribe should study the Central Plains civilization on a large scale, and the first thing to solve in learning was language and writing, so only those who knew the Central Plains dialect in the army could hold higher positions.

"Hmm. Say, what did you find? Li Chi asked.

"We found a lot of loot up front. There were boots, clothes, some food, and a small amount of muskets. The soldier reported.

"Oh." Li Chi was very happy to hear such a thing, but he was also a little suspicious, worried that this was a trick of the Yan people.

"Keep pursuing. Beware of the ambush of the Yan people. Li Chi ordered.

"Yes. Sir. The soldier saluted. Then he quickly left to pursue it. He had already changed a boot under his feet, it was his Lao Li's boot, which he had obtained with great difficulty, but there was a soldier who was very happy to get it, and he kicked it over to get it. He's going to look for the other one now, because he's wearing his broken shoe on the other foot.

Soon, the Goguryeo people were frantically pursuing. They got a portion of the spoils, and they were even happier. In their opinion, as long as they keep pursuing, they will be able to get the loot they want.

"Report, sir." The soldier wearing one shoe continued to report. He still hadn't found the other shoe. However, the musket in his hand was replaced by the Yan soldiers. His musket had been used many times, and the flint needed many blows to ignite the gunpowder. Now the musket in his hand is at least eighty percent new. The soldier excitedly touched the musket he had gotten, and he had a brand new cartridge belt on his back.

"The Yan people continue to flee, they have abandoned their weapons, as well as water bottles, bullet belts, and we have captured a lot along the way." The Goguryeo soldier reported in the unintelligible Central Plains dialect.

"Chief Song, what do you think of this matter?" At this time, Li Chi asked the ** on the side. ** looked at Li Chi with some puzzlement.

"You're worried that they're ambushing us, and it seems to me that they can't ambush us anymore. Come to think of it, their weapons are all missing. What weapons do they use to ambush us? Li Chi asked.

"This." There is nothing to say, if the fleeing soldiers throw away their weapons, their troops want to organize an ambush.

"Chief, should we continue to investigate, just in case?" **This is the time to recommend. After all, a bold pursuit can bring great results, but it can also bring great losses.

"Hmm. What Chief Song said is okay, we might as well slow down and investigate. Li Chi nodded at this time and said.

"Go, order our troops to disperse. Search for an ambush among the Yan people? Li Chi ordered.

The soldier was given the order and left.

Within the territory of Dawan Kingdom. The station of the XVIII Cavalry Regiment. They had penetrated more than two hundred and seventy miles into the territory of the Great Wan Kingdom, and such a distance had far exceeded the maximum supply of their logistical supply line.

Inside the tent of the command camp of the 18th Cavalry Regiment.

"Our logistical supplies are cut off. The food we brought with us was not enough to last us for three days. Aries looked at the map in his hand and said worriedly.

"Hmm. Do you have any workarounds? Zhang Xi asked.

"There is no good solution, if we rely on logistics supplies, we need to wait at least half a month or so, you know, we are a cavalry unit, very mobile, logistics supplies are difficult to reach us, we can't let our soldiers have nothing to eat." Aries said.

"Hmm." Zhang Xi nodded. Agreed.

"This problem must be solved, but we can't grab it. You must know that we have now entered the territory of Dawan Kingdom, although we do not have a single Qin army officer by our side, but everyone knows that if the Qin army controls us. Zhang Xi said with some embarrassment.

"The people of the Qin State are wooing the Dawan people, and we can't have something happen on the territory of the Dawan people." Zhang Xi said worriedly at this time.

"Oh." Aries nodded.

"I know, what you think, yesterday you sent someone to trample on several nearby tribes." Zhang Xi said at this time.

"Huh." Aries laughed at this time.

"However, I have also heard one thing, that is, the Seventeenth Regiment that entered before, they have already done this. They are scattered, and some companies have already done so. It's all coming from the scouts. The XVII Regiment can do this, and so can we. Aries said at this time.

"Seventeenth Regiment?" Zhang Xi asked.

"Yes, sir. The XVII Regiment has already done so. They seem to have been forced by logistical supply problems, and if we don't, the brothers will go hungry. Aries said.

"Besides. The Seventeenth Regiment can do this, and so can we. Aries said at this time.

"It's just, on the side of the Qin people, how do we explain it? If the people of the Qin State ask about it, we will be in big trouble. If not explained. Zhang Xi said worriedly.

"That's easy to explain. They asked us to arrest and attack the people of the Sabbatarians, but none of us have seen the Sabbatarians, and we don't know what the difference is between the Sabbatarians and the Dawans. Moreover, we are a volunteer army, we came voluntarily, no one commanded us, we just came in to fight, how to fight, is our own business. Aries said.

"We attacked the tribe of the Dawan people, so just report the reason why we don't know the difference between the Dawan people and the people of the Sabbatarians. How to deal with it, they can't help it. Aries said.

"Oh." Zhang Xi sighed at this time, and he was a little hesitant.

"If we don't, our logistical problems, you'll solve them?" Aries said at this time.

"Okay, just do it, although it will bring a lot of problems, but it can solve our stomach problems, as for what the problem is, let them discuss it with the people of the Qin State, anyway, they don't care about us." Zhang Xi decided to arrive.

The streets of Xinzheng, South Korea.

"Hey, look at it, the recruitment advertisement of the new army of the Chu State." A resting foreman of the Chu State said with a steamed cake in one hand and a newspaper in the other.

"I'll take a look, Plum." As he spoke, a young man immediately swallowed the steamed cake in his hand.

"Li Tou, look at the treatment above, take a look at the treatment." The young man said anxiously.

"Oh. Let me see. At this time, Li Tou said with a recruitment advertisement.

"This treatment, yes, let me tell you about it, if you are qualified, you will be immediately compensated for 50 acres of land, and the military salary will be calculated separately." Li Tou said at this time.

"And unlike our old army of Chu, weapons, clothing and everything are provided by them. It's just that the military pay is not explicitly stated. Li Tou said.

"Li Tou. I heard that the prince of Chu State of the Chu Chamber of Commerce has a lot of funds, which are enough to form a large-scale army. The young man said.

"Little dog, this matter is not up to us, you want me to see, don't recruit this soldier. This is hard money, and it's not easy to earn. Li Tou shook his head at this time and said.

"Why?" The young man asked.

"Although we, the Chu people who escaped from the Chu State, are doing some manual labor, compared with those Koreans, our wages may not be able to buy a lot of things, but, compared with those Chu people, we have a lot of security, at least not lose our lives, and besides, how can the money of being a soldier be so easy to earn, fifty acres of land, let's work a little more and work for half a year, we can earn it back, why bother to do such a thing, this soldier can't be easy to be." Li Tou said.

"This" the young man wanted to say at this time, but the others had already said it by this time.

"That is, if you go to the battlefield as a soldier, you will lose your life at once. It's better to be a hard worker in this South Korea, although the hard work is tiring, but maybe we will encounter some opportunities at once, with such an opportunity, we may be able to get rich all of a sudden. You look at the rich people, they got up all at once. This is a soldier, such a thing, to be honest, I am not optimistic, fifty acres of land, now the land is not worth much, this advertisement, people's right, give land, it is better to give some military salaries. If you give it to me, I won't do it. As he spoke, the other young man ate the food in his hand and went to rest. The young man was eating as he thought about the question, which had a great impact on him. He wants to do a career, not to do hard labor here, although the money is not bad, but this kind of life is not what he wants, others call him a little dog, such a name is very cheap. There is no dignity, he believes, only being a soldier can change his birth.

"Eat quickly, don't think about being a soldier. Soldiers eat guns. If you eat a gun, you won't come back. At this time, Li Tou shouted loudly.

"Oh." The little dog nodded at this time, indicating that he understood. Then he finished his food and went to work. But for the matter of being a soldier, he still thinks about it.

Chu Chamber of Commerce.

"Among this South Korea, there are also a lot of Chu people, why are there so few soldiers recruited by our new army of Chu?" He shook his head and said puzzled.

The Qin State Bank was responsible for issuing a large number of Chu land bonds, and the land bonds were issued relatively well, and the Qin State Bank gave a part of the funds, which were not much, only one million gold, but it was enough for them to form a new army of the Chu State.

"The number of people is small because we have given so little land. And. Fan Zeng said worriedly at this time.

"And what?" At this time, he asked puzzled.

"Moreover, the treatment we give is very low, the soldiers have no sense of honor, I have seen the Qin army, the Qin army's sense of honor is particularly strong, not only because of their high salary, but also because of their sense of honor. A future. Childe, in the recruitment advertisement, did not give such a future. Therefore, the new army of Chu could not be established. Fan Zeng explained.

"Oh. So that's the case, what can we do to solve this problem. He thought for a moment and asked.

"It's not good for us to do it ourselves." Fan Zeng said at this time.

"This new army is not just equipped with weapons like the previous army, it requires specialized personnel, and it is difficult for the backbone of the army, especially those officers, to get up. In this regard, we can refer to the new army of South Korea to know how to change. Childe, you can also take a look at Zhao Jun, although Zhao Jun is not a new army, but their reform has not been broken, the officers who studied abroad, although Zhao did not have a military academy established, but their officers have a certain amount of training, this series of things. We wouldn't have been able to do it without a dedicated team. Fan Zeng said at this time.

"Oh. What do you think, what should I do? He asked, a little puzzled.

"Well, let the people of Qin organize our new army?" At this time, he asked with some doubts. He was worried that the people of Chu were too influenced by the Qin State.

"We must need the Qin people to do this, after all, the Qin people are of great help to us, the training of officers, the combat conduct of soldiers, the new army is different from the original army, just like the Qin people said, we not only change weapons because of the change of weapons, but also need to change the combat thinking, which is emphasized by the Qin people." Fan Zeng further persuaded him.

"Judging from the current situation, we can't get this new army on our own." Fan Zeng said.

"Without the help of the people of the Qin State, our Chu State New Army would not be able to be established at all, especially some regulations of the New Army, and there are many specific things, we don't have them." Fan Zeng said.

"Hmm." He nodded.

"Good. Just do what you ask. We seek the people of Qin to organize this matter, we need to provide them with funds, specific things, how to operate, just leave it to the people of Qin to do, in this way, we have a professional team to operate this matter, which is of great benefit to us, and the pace of building our new army of Chu will increase rapidly. In this way, our recruitment will be successful. Fan Zeng said.

"Hmm. Just do this, how much money is needed, let the people of the Qin State solve it, anyway, the Chu State has already sold. Sell it again, and I'm not afraid. He said with an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. He was mentally prepared for this.
