In Liuzhou, a large camp was set up on the east side of the South Gate Wharf, where more than 10,000 soldiers from two towns who were preparing to go to Annam were placed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Not far from the Liuzhou Dadong School, the newly recruited wolf soldiers of the two towns are training in a queue under the command of the officer. Most of the wolf soldiers are strong people, only a few Han and native people, except for the familiar strong local officials, almost all of them are illiterate, so in order to teach these wolf soldiers the basic foot drill formation, the officers can be said to have taken great pains, and in the end it is still the stick education to take effect.

The wharf was extremely busy, and dozens of large ships parked at the wharf were constantly transporting grain to the shore, some of which were transferred from Nanning, Xunzhou, and other places, and the rest were transported from Zhaoqing. Because of the shortage of manpower, Guangxi has experienced military disasters, and the young and strong labor force is extremely scarce, so the Guangxi governor Yamen is sympathetic to the people, does not levy husbands, and only makes the Qing army surrender troops and auxiliary soldiers in the army to carry materials, and the people are busy with spring ploughing, which makes the Taiping Army have a very good reputation among the remaining 100,000 people in Guangxi, and is very popular with the people.

More than 1,000 green battalion soldiers of the Qing army who surrendered in Nanning and Wuzhou struggled to carry grain on the wharf, and they were tired and sweating profusely, but the river wind blew but it was a little cold. Although this life was hard, the soldiers did not complain much, at least, the Taiping army did not kill them, and they were able to eat. After the work is done, those who perform well can be turned into regular soldiers, and with such treatment, they can wake up with a smile in their dreams, and what else is there to complain about.

A row of houses was built by the wharf, just made of wood to form a shelf, covered with grass, the repair is quite simple, and the main thing is to let the working soldiers rest and eat. In case of wind and rain, it is used to store materials that cannot be transported to the city in time, such as food and gunpowder.

The one closest to the river in this row of houses is larger than the others, and the room is not empty, but full of tables, chairs, and stools. There were a lot of tea bowls on the table of the Eight Immortals, and several Taiping officers wearing the uniforms of the Fire Red Army were sitting around, drinking cold tea while chatting about the war and the conquest of Annam a few days ago.

On the side of the door, Zhao Ziqiang, who was promoted from the position of the fifth town to the governor of the expeditionary force, smoked a hookah, he always closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of clouds and mountains and fog brought to him by the smoke, and he just listened to what his subordinates said, but did not open his mouth to express any opinions. In particular, when his subordinates said about Annan, he ignored it, or rather, he was confident, because he had a booklet in his arms, which had more than 60 pages, which was specially sorted out and given to him by the commander. The marshal told him clearly, after you arrive in Annan, as long as you follow the items in this booklet, then you, the king of Annan, will definitely be able to do it, and even if you want to be the emperor of Annan.

King Annam? The Emperor?

Zhao Ziqiang smiled at the corner of his mouth, knocked the hookah very comfortably, and then held it to his mouth leisurely looking at the bright prospects that the handsome had promised him. From time to time, I thought that Annan's woman didn't know what it looked like.

Regarding Gao Gao's promotion to the governor of the expeditionary force, in the eyes of his subordinates, Zhao Dudu's performance was really honorable and humiliating. In fact, Zhao Ziqiang did not show any surprise, neither happy nor angry, and began to prepare for the southward movement after receiving the order, but he never showed his attitude towards the order itself.

Lu Guangzu once asked Zhao Ziqiang in private, what did the marshal say in the letter that Dong Changqing brought him, whether it was Shao Jiugong's impeachment that made the marshal very dissatisfied, so he rose to the bottom and left Zhao Ziqiang from Guangxi in the name of courting Annan. Zhao Ziqiang smiled and dismissed the matter and did not mention it at all. Lu Guangzu was bored, and he was also promoted, so he didn't ask again after thinking about it. Annan is on the edge of Guangxi, and it is not thousands of miles away, and he can never go back to Daming in this life.

After receiving the order, Zhao Ziqiang handed over to Yu Shizhong, and led the town guards who he could take away and some generals who were allowed to be transferred directly into Liuzhou City and waited for Hou Shuishi to come and pick them up.

The Annan people betrayed the alliance and renounced the faith, rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and detained the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty without authorization. Because the conquest of Annam was a national war, the chief general of the expeditionary force was promoted to the rank of governor, which was equivalent to the post of the governor of the five armies, and actually commanded the entire expeditionary army and was fully responsible for the expedition to Annam.

After being nominated by Zhou Shixiang, Zhao Ziqiang, the general of the fifth town, was promoted to the post of governor of the expeditionary force because of his military exploits in Guangxi, and the deputy governor was Lu Guangzu, the deputy general of the fifth town.

The expeditionary force is a battalion of two towns and one division of the army. The two army towns were the rebuilt eleventh town and the newly built twelfth town. In addition to more than 800 remnants of the town, the soldiers of the 11th town were transferred to Wuzhou, Xunzhou, and Nanning. The town has a three-battalion military system, with a total of 7,575 soldiers. The 12th town is also a three-battalion military system, consisting of the 5th town captured and surrendered to the Qing army.

The eleventh town will be served by Lu Guangzu, the former deputy general of the fifth town and the deputy governor of the expeditionary force, and the deputy general will be Hu Mingyi, the former brigade of the fifth town; The twelfth town will be served by Niu Gensheng, the former deputy general of Pao Town, and the deputy general will be Zhang Yue, the former 11th Town B Brigade School. The posts of brigade schools and battalion lieutenants in the two towns were held by 100 and 1,000 households that had performed well in the war in Guangxi. The specific candidate was promoted by the Guangxi Governor Yamen Report Army Marshal's Mansion and Guangxi War Meritorious Officer.

The fifth town vacant after Zhao Ziqiang's promotion will be served by Yu Shizhong, the former C Brigade School. At the same time, the two towns of Wolf Soldier were newly organized, which were designated as the thirteenth town and the fourteenth town respectively. The thirteenth town will be Shang Keyuan, the former commander of the Han army under the Pingnan Domain, and the fourteenth town will be Geng Zhongde, the former commander of the Han army under the Jingnan Domain. This move shows that the Han army generals under the original Pingnan Domain and Jingnan Domain began to be reused by Zhou Shixiang, and it also means that the Han army generals under Pingnan and Jingnan Domains are truly integrated into the Taiping Army system.

Geng Zhongde did not accompany the army to the west, but stayed in the military training institute in Guangzhou to preside over the affairs of the institute in the name of the deputy commander, and he did not expect that he would suddenly be appointed by Zhou Shixiang as the town general of the 14th town, because he came to Guangxi on the one hand to bring the newly completed 120 officers and cadets to Guangxi to enrich the two towns of the new wolf soldiers, and on the other hand, he came to report the funeral.

Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, died, contracted the disease and died.

I received a call at about nine o'clock last night, and my relatives' house was in a mess, and my 17-year-old son beat his mother and smashed the house. A group of relatives stayed until more than two o'clock, and when I returned home at three o'clock, I saw that my friend was scolding the book reviewer, and I knew that I was at a loss, and I only changed 7,000 words yesterday, so I posted a post in the book review to explain a little. Of course, it's useless to say this, the key is whether you can guarantee more updates. (To be continued.) )
