Chen Yejun stood on the Songjiang wharf, and beside him was Feng Zijing, the commander of the Naval Division Brigade of the Beihai Volunteer Army.

The two of them had just landed, and beside them were troops of the 2nd Brigade of the Beihai Volunteer Army, which was landing.

Some of the soldiers were leading their horses, some were carrying various materials, and they were busy nervously. Although it was very hard, they were all energetic and excited.

The three regiment commanders, Qin Zhong, Shi Song, and Mo Like, were commanding their troops and were busy nervously.

Molik was a Transcaucasian who was the leader of the original Mamluk slave soldiers. Because of his prestige and organizational and command skills, he became the commander of a regiment that was later formed with fresh blood on the basis of Mamluk slave soldiers.

The Songjiang landing battle went exceptionally smoothly.

Because it was an important trade hub, the three feudal lords stationed 300 soldiers and horses here.

Although 300 soldiers and horses are a lot, for Feng Zijing's more than 2,000 sailors, they are still vulnerable.

Less than half an hour after the start of the battle, the Beihai Volunteer Army occupied the dock, and even Chen Yejun's second brigade was not used.

Now, the 2nd Brigade began to land, and part of the Marine Division went to occupy Songjiang Province.

The Songjiang River is the estuary of the Yangtze River, from which Feng Zijing will go upstream, and then control the Yangtze River waterway, blocking the north-south traffic of the three feudatories.

Subsequently, Chen Yejun will attack along the north bank of the Yangtze River, capture an important town in the north of the Yangtze River along the river, and after that, the division will go north and gradually advance to Zhili.

"Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and in the blink of an eye, a few months have passed. When the army was raised from Beihai, it was still the Dade Dynasty, but when it arrived here, it turned out to be the Tianshun Dynasty. When I think about it, I can't help but sigh. ”

Feng Zijing looked at the meeting, and her heart fluctuated.

"Since Brigade Commander Feng is emotional, why not write a poem."

"Captain Chen, it's better to be exempt. If I write poems, and I pass them on in the future, won't I make Chief Min laugh off his big teeth? ”

"That's what you said, where is Chief Min so stingy? Tell us to land here, ask Chief of Staff Feng to log in in Quanzhou, he coerced the imperial capital from Shengjing, such a big deal, how many people can there be throughout the ages? ”

"Yes, San Francisco never imagined that we would play like this. If they heard that we landed here, they would have thought we were crazy. ”

"This time, we will cut the rear of the three feudatories into two, Chief of Staff Feng will capture the land of Gwangju for taxation, and we will occupy the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for taxation, and it will be difficult for the three feudatories to raise money in the future."

"If Chief Min enters the customs, and we start here again, the three feudatories will be able to take care of the head, not the tail. Haha, every time I think of such a war, my heart is inexplicably happy. ”

"The army of the three feudal clans still has some skills, but they should not be underestimated."

"Don't worry, Captain Chen, I'll be careful. I'll go first. ”

Feng Zijing said goodbye and returned to the ship. After a while, the fleet of sailors continued to move forward and go up the river.

Chen Yejun waved his hand and summoned the three regiment commanders, Qin Zhong, Shi Song, and Mo Like.

"Captain Chen, when are we going to send troops to war?"

"Open tomorrow, Shi Song, the Nantong Mansion, Taizhou Mansion, and Yangzhou Mansion in Jiangbei are yours. Captain Qin, Captain Molik, Jiaxing Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Wuxi Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, and Zhenjiang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River belong to the two of you. ”

"I'll give you a month and a half, and then we will meet in Jinling and capture Jinling together. How, can it be done? ”

"No problem, Captain Chen. A month is enough. Wherever the soldiers go, they will conquer everything. ”

Qin Zhong patted his chest.

"Well, that's what you said. If you can't do it then, don't blame me for being unkind to you. Pay attention to saving ammunition. We must hold out on to these ammunition until the arrival of the plum blossom in order to be resupplied. Otherwise, you can use your rifles as clubs to fight the three feudal clans. ”

"Captain Chen, we still have bows and arrows and sabers, but we haven't fallen behind in these kung fu."

"Yes, Brigade Commander Chen, our Mamluk soldiers, and scimitars, our scimitar skills, but no one else knows. Even if there is no ammunition, he is not afraid. ”

"Have you sent out all your scouts?"

"It's already out."

"Try to find those people from the Old Mansion Corps and ask them to provide you with information."

"The reconnaissance team has brought their addresses, but after all these years, I don't know if they have moved."

"Yes, the dynasty has changed in the past two years, and I don't know how many people have been displaced, I hope these veterans are okay."

"Captain Chen, rest assured, our veterans can read and write, and they have learned the craft in Bukui, no matter how bad they are, they will not be far behind."

"I hope so, when I see them in the future, I will ask them how they are doing. If they don't mix well, reprimand them. At the beginning, Chief Min told them to grow up like this, if they were not glamorous, it would be too unlucky. ”

"Okay, we're willing to do it,"

If there are some things, it is providence.

While a few people were discussing the matter, a staff member came over with a man dressed as a craftsman.

When he saw Chen Yejun, he saluted.

"Report to Training Commander Chen, Battalion Commander Qin, and Cao Wuji to report for duty."

This person's salute turned out to be the military salute of the government corps.

"Cao Wuji? You're that Cao Wuji from Zhuozhou Mansion, right? ”

Qin Zhong had some impressions of this person.

"Thank you, Camp Commander Qin, for remembering me, I am Cao Wuji from Zhuozhou Mansion."

"By the way, sure enough, it's you, I remember that you didn't go back to your hometown, how did you get here?"

"Report to Battalion Commander Qin, didn't you ask me to teach Miss Lin to ride a horse and shoot arrows and shoot guns, when the Bukui Mansion Corps was abolished, I said that I wanted to go home to do business. Miss Lin told me that her father, Mr. Lin Ruhai, had some old friends in Suzhou, and asked me to come here to find them and do some business. After returning home, there was no business to do, so I went to Suzhou, where I have been doing business for the past few years. ”

"Cao Wuji, looking at your dress, business doesn't seem to be doing well, just now Captain Chen talked to us about this matter, if I see that you are not good, I will reprimand you. At the beginning, Chief Min taught you so hard, but you disgraced him. ”

"Hehe, Camp Commander Qin, don't rush to train me first, I'll show you a few things."

As he spoke, Cao Wuji took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve.

"Look, sir, I have money. This is just with me, in Suzhou Mansion, I still have a house. Don't look like I'm a tinsmith on the surface, but I'm actually selling salt and rice. ”

"Why is it so hidden?"

"Isn't this a wealth that is not exposed? On the surface, I am a tinsmith, but behind the scenes, I am the owner. ”

"Heh, you're really scheming, not bad. Didn't disgrace Chief Min. ”

"Is Chief Min here?"

"No, Chief Min is over there in Shengjing. What's the matter, Cao Wuji, you only have Chief Min in your eyes, and there is no us? We're not your chief anymore? ”

Chen Yejun joked with a smile.

"Training Chen is serious, and you are naturally my commander."

"How did you find us?"

"I heard that someone from Beihai was calling, so I thought it was you. When I arrived here, I saw this magnificent formation, and I knew that it was someone from our Laofu Corps. The people of our government corps can recognize them wherever they go. ”

"Well, yes, Cao Wuji, since you are in the salt and rice business, you will help us purchase salt and rice in the future, in the end, we are our own people, and we can rest assured."

"That's the best, I can't wait to contribute to the government corps. Ladies and gentlemen, I will definitely do a good job for you, and I will not make your money. ”

"You should make money or make money, as long as it's not excessive, the money that should be given to you, will be given to you. Since you do business in this area, you must be familiar with the situation here, right? ”

"I'm also thinking about this, I know a little bit about the situation of all the forces here."

"Okay, just find a place and tell us more about it. We need all the information. ”

"I'll invite you chiefs to have a drink and talk while eating."

"At this time, there is military affairs, and eating and drinking are exempt, so I will replace the bar with tea."

Qin Zhong waited for the three regiment leaders to go back and explain, and then came back and followed Chen Yejun and Cao Wuji to the dock.

After wandering around for a while, I found a tea shop.

At this time, the tea shop was empty, and even the boss and his buddies were nowhere to be seen. It is estimated that when he saw the fighting, he threw down his shop and hid.

A few people were not polite, and they entered the tea shop. Cao Wuji went in to find tea leaves, boiled water, and took out some scattered silver to keep.

After a while, the water boiled, and several people sat down to drink tea.

"This is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a network of rivers and ditches. Although it is also a flat river, it is quite different from Bu Kui. If you start a war, you have to be careful. ”

Cao Wuji was born in the government corps, and when he spoke, he still had some military experience.

"You don't have to worry about this, we're ready. Who is the main general in this area at present? How many troops? Where are they? How many are there? ”

"At present, the main general in this area is Li Guoxin, the younger brother of the king of Xining, who currently lives in Jinling and commands more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. Among them, 12,000 were soldiers and horses from the southwest. The rest were all soldiers and horses attached to the previous dynasty. ”

"Those 12,000 people are his descendants, and they are all stationed in Jinling. The rest of the soldiers and horses were scattered and stationed in Yangzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Wuxi Mansion and other places. Because they were all soldiers and horses of the previous dynasty, they lacked training, had poor military discipline, and were poorly equipped. At the beginning, I had seen them fight against the soldiers and horses of the three feudal domains, and their combat power could not be compared with our army corps. Watching them fight is like a child's house, just like playing. ”

"How is Li Guoxin's descendant's combat power?"

"It's much better than the soldiers and horses of the previous dynasty, but compared with the government corps, it's still far inferior."

"Although they are inferior to us, they are many and powerful, and they should not be underestimated. If you really fight, you have to be cautious. ”

"That's natural. In my opinion, this is a land of plains, and there are no natural dangers to defend in the wilderness. It is more convenient to march. However, this is a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, the city walls are relatively strong, and the ordnance, grain and grass are also sufficient, which is unavoidable. ”

"Look at it, the people who go out of our government corps are different from others. Cao Wuji is doing business now, and he has such insight. ”

"Commander Chen, let me go back to the Fu Corps."

"Oh, business is doing well, why are you coming back?"

"When you get here, you must have something big to do, and I don't want to be left behind."

"Heh, even you can see that we are going to do something big? Tell me, what big things are we going to do? ”

Cao Wuji took a sip of tea, then sat up straight, with a serious face, and said something serious.

"Is Chief Min going to be the emperor?"
