Chapter 501: Regrouping
In the battle of Tianjin Port, the Yejiabao army was lucky to win, and according to the news obtained from the follow-up investigation, the sudden retreat of the coalition army was the sudden mutiny of the Japanese invaders, thus devouring all the warships of the Netherlands.
This also means that the so-called coalition forces completely collapsed at that moment. The sudden mutiny of the Japanese led to the killing of Sterhaoran, and all the warships were seized by the Japanese invaders.
As soon as this news came out, the Seven-Nation Alliance, which was still in Zhangjiakou, explained on the same day. There is no guarantee that no one in the Seven Kingdoms will follow the example of the Japanese Invaders, and if they are not disbanded, they will not be able to continue to fight together, and the suspicion between them has made the entire coalition army suspicious of each other and have no intention of fighting.
After taking the opportunity to occupy the Dutch warships, in order to avoid retaliation from the Dutch, the Japanese invaders returned to China directly, and all the Japanese warriors in the Qing Dynasty also withdrew.
The capture of dozens of warships has been worth all the gains here in the Qing Dynasty, and the Japanese have these dozens of warships. It is completely possible to calm down and organize the army and develop and strengthen the navy, and if nothing else, the Japanese will inevitably leap to a new level in a few years.
After hearing that their warships had been occupied by the Japanese invaders, the Dutch military was very angry and kept clamoring to fight the Japanese country. It's a pity that the loss of dozens of warships has made the Dutch side unable to crusade.
was originally a well-deserved number one overlord on the sea, but this will also fall into a third-rate force, and it will not even be able to raise its head in the other seven-nation alliances.
All the foreigners in the land of the Qing Dynasty calmed down for a while, and no one dared to take the lead and cause trouble easily.
After the foreigners stopped, it was a good time for Yejiabao to develop and grow. Ye Shaolong appeased the sacrificed soldiers in Tianjin City, and immediately rushed back to Yejiabao.
Ten days later, Ye Shaolong summoned the generals of the whole army to gather in the capital, and on the school field outside the capital, all 60,000 troops were in place. Ye Shaolong must be reorganized, including the positions in the army.
Hearing such news, some people are happy and some are worried, and those who have made meritorious contributions after the previous two wars are looking forward to being added to the ranks. And those who did not get the merits of the war regret it in their hearts.
I don't know when I miss such a good opportunity, and I don't know how long it will take to meet such a good opportunity.
The 60,000 Yejiabao Army was previously simply divided into three major corps, the cavalry battalion, the musket battalion, and the artillery battalion. Among them, the musket battalion had the largest number of people, accounting for 40,000 people.
The cavalry battalion was the second, with more than 10,000 men, and in the end, only the artillery battalion had less than 1,000 men. Moreover, almost all of them were killed in the battle of Tianjin Port, and it can be said that the entire battalion has been wiped out.
The artillery battalion played a great role in the defense of the port, and Ye Shaolong decided to expand the artillery battalion this time in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past in the future.
The 60,000 soldiers lined up in a square formation on the school field, and in the face of Ye Shaolong's inspection, they straightened their waists one by one.
Su Can, Lin Biao, Tie Tower, and Li Chengke were at the forefront of the whole army, and Ye Shaolong finally stopped in front of the four of them, looking at them, his eyes were full of praise!
These four people have nothing to say, they are all brothers who have followed them through life and death, and they are also the four generals of the current Yejiabao Army.
Originally, there was also a Xiao Dashan, but unfortunately this guy was a little proud recently, and he was directly beaten back to the bottom by Ye Shaolong, starting from a small soldier.
No, at this moment, Xiao Dashan was standing in the phalanx, looking at Su Can and the four of them with remorse and envy in his eyes.
Last time, Ye Shaolong pulled him out to set an example, but he didn't really blame him. This time there is a good chance that he will be back in the lead!
"Su Can!"
After Ye Shaolong was silent, he suddenly roared!
"The subordinates are here."
Su Can responded loudly, and at the same time took a step forward and knelt in front of Ye Shaolong with one leg.
Ye Shaolong looked at him and announced loudly: "Now you are the orthodox capital, commanding the musket battalion. The two lieutenants are all promoted by yourself! ”
"Xie Dashuai!" After Su Can saluted again, he retreated on his own.
Ye Shaolong's gaze turned to the iron tower, and the latter's face was slightly excited. Judging from Su Can's position, he must not be there himself.
"Iron Tower!"
"The subordinates are here." The tower struggled to contain the excitement in his heart.
"At present, you are the orthodox capital, commanding the cavalry battalion, and the two deputies under you are promoted by yourself!"
Ye Shaolong's appointment did not come unexpectedly, and the iron tower also became the orthodox capital, which was only under Ye Shaolong in the army, and had the same official position as Su Can.
After being happy, Tie Ta suddenly hesitated, stepped forward, and muttered in front of Ye Shaolong: "Dashuai, this deputy commander, can I appoint Xiao Dashan?" ”
Xiao Dashan was standing not far behind the tower at the moment, and he heard the tower's whispering just now, and he heard it completely clearly. I didn't expect that the tower would mention that he wanted to promote himself at this time.
Xiao Dashan was both happy and frightened, and for a while he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to do?
Ye Shaolong's answer surprised everyone, he smiled and said, "Who to appoint is your own business, and I will not interfere in any way." But there is one thing you have to remember, if your subordinate deputy commander commits a crime in the future, you, the orthodox boss, will also be implicated by it. ”
"Xie Dashuai is complete." The iron tower will not care about the threat behind Ye Shaolong. The people he wants to appoint must be like-minded people, and there is no need to worry about whether or not they will be implicated.
Ye Shaolong nodded, turned his gaze to Li Chengke and said, "Li Chengke listens to orders." ”
"The subordinates are here!"
"Appoint you as the orthodox, command the cavalry, musket team and infantry three armies, form an independent army, and prepare to serve the expansion of Yejiabao!" Ye Shaolong had a smile on his face at the moment.
Li Chengke didn't seem to be surprised by such an appointment at all, and stepped forward to salute and receive the order in a proper manner.
Ye Shaolong wanted to prepare to expand his power, which he had already talked to him alone a few days ago, so Li Chengke would not be surprised at all.
But Su Can and Tie Ta were a little dissatisfied, Ye Shaolong obviously sorted the two of them out in this arrangement. But now in front of the whole army, although Su Can and Tie Ta were dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn't dare to protest, so they could only endure it for the time being.
In the end, only Lin Biao remained, and after the First Battle of Tianjin, the so-called navy had completely perished. All the warships were destroyed in that battle, and there are people in the navy today who have no warships to use, which can be said to exist in name only.
"Lin Biao obeys orders!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Now appoint you as the orthodox capital, and organize an artillery force of 10,000 men within a month!"
Lin Biao was slightly stunned, obviously very surprised by Ye Shaolong's appointment.
Ye Shaolong patted him on the shoulder and said lightly: "The navy can only be postponed for the time being, the most important thing for Yejiabao at present is to expand, and the artillery battalion is indispensable for attacking the city." ”
