Wang Qinian's intelligence office was built in March, and only four people were given to Wang Qinian at that time, one of whom was Xu Lie's brother Han Bing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Qinian also knows his situation, Han Bing is eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is almost fifty years old, as long as Han Bing is cultivated, his life will be complete.

However, this does not mean that Wang Qinian has ideas, as a former secret agent of the Military Aircraft Department, he feels that Xu Lie's arrangement is his trust in him, if Xu Lie absolutely does not interfere in the intelligence department, it means that this intelligence department has no status. Moreover, Wang Qinian also found out from Xu Lie that Xu Lie wanted to set up an intelligence department, and he could set it up with or without himself, but he just happened to know some skills in this area.

Saying this means that Wang Qinian is very able to correct his attitude and recognize his position. And such a person can even be said to be more powerful than Boss Dai of the People's Party.

The unit was organized into 5 combat battalions, 3 companies directly under the headquarters, including logistics departments, hospitals and other personnel, and Xu Lie's total military strength was just over 3,000 people.

In addition, at the Baoqi Mountain base, there are 2,000 recruits who are receiving various trainings from Wang Changjiang, the director of the base, and those who know a few tricks or those with better physical fitness will also receive additional martial arts and combat training from Yan Weisheng. In Xu Lie's troops, soldiers with various special skills are even more popular than soldiers in the Zheng Erbajing.

This training base can bring Xu Lie at least 500 recruits every month.

After the formation of the troops, Xu Lie felt that the Qing army was coming soon, so he pulled two battalions every day and went to the outskirts of Mengyin to fight vigorously, which was called tactical joint training.

Tactical training is for sure. Because Xu Lie was worried about the sudden arrival of the imperial army, Xu Lie proposed for the first time in the training of soldiers: "Sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime!" ”

Xu Lie's training slogan was immediately seized by Yuan Yong and published in the "Troop Newsletter".

"Bulletin of the Army" is an internal publication founded by Xu Lieli, which is edited every Sunday and printed on Monday, and mainly publishes the activities and speeches of the commander-in-chief of the troops, the latest news of each battalion, company, and platoon, especially the various inspections and evaluations, and it is completely clear at a glance who is the first place and who is locked up in confinement. At the same time, soldiers are welcome to write manuscripts, and the manuscripts written by soldiers, no matter what kind of manuscripts, as long as they are published, there will be a manuscript fee.

When Xu Lie said that he wanted to start such a thing, he immediately strongly demanded to become the editor-in-chief of this publication. Well, this Yuan Yong has long become a curious baby, and Xu Lie is also happy.

It's just that Xu Lie's estimate seems to be problematic, because it's late May, and the Qing army hasn't moved yet. No, no matter how corrupt the court is, it is impossible for the court to react so late, right?

At this time, Wang Qinian's intelligence department made a contribution.

The intelligence officers sent back more detailed information from Jinan -- Xu Lie's defeat of Yuxian, not to mention that the imperial court was not there, even the Shandong Governor's Mansion only attributed Yuxian's defeat to a general failure to suppress bandits, and such an example, the Qing court had to have one or two cases every year, which was really normal. As for the pension in Yuxian's family, it has its own court regulations, and no one will deduct this thing.

Therefore, the Qing court didn't care about Yuxian's defeat at all, that is, the army that Xu Lie had been waiting for would not come.

However, Xu Lie sent troops to occupy Mengyin County, but it spread to Yizhou Mansion and Shandong Governor's Mansion through various channels, which is terrible. You are in the countryside, occupy the mountain as the king, as long as you don't make a big incident, then it's up to you, there are many people who occupy the mountain as the king now, it doesn't matter if you have more or less of your family. However, attacking and occupying the county seat of a county is absolutely unforgivable, and although the Mengshan Army did not put forward the slogan of "downfall", this kind of behavior is also regarded as rebellion.

Therefore, the report of the prefect of Yizhou Prefecture, Han Wen, was sent to Zhang Rumei, the governor of Shandong, and the Manchu royal family in Beijing at the same time, at the speed of 600 miles.

"Immediately, send troops to exterminate it, immediately, immediately-" I heard that after the Empress Dowager Cixi heard that Mengyin County was occupied by a bandit army, she was so angry that she smashed two Ming and Qing flower teacups and said three "immediately"!

Sent troops to exterminate it, and a piece of court decree was sent to Zhang Rumei, limiting Zhang Rumei to three months to exterminate the Mengyin bandits and restore the imperial court's rule over Mengyin County.

Of course, the authority given to Zhang Rumei is also large enough, and the Green Camp and Eight Banners in the entire Shandong can be transferred by Zhang Rumei at will. The silver taels for the suppression of bandits were spent by the Shandong government in the treasury and taxes handed over to the imperial court, and they were deducted when the fiscal taxes were handed over in the autumn.

Nima, the court is going to be an empty glove white wolf!

But Zhang Rumei had to receive this holy decree.

How many green battalion soldiers are there in Shandong, taking the national 600,000 as an example, Shandong Province, because of its coastal border defense, is extremely high at 50,000. Of course, Zhang Rumei didn't expect to open 50,000 troops to Mengyin, in his opinion, it was enough to have 10,000 troops to suppress the Mengyin bandits.

Although there are rumors that the bandits have powerful foreign guns and are brave in battle, Zhang Rumei doesn't believe it. All previous examples have shown that this group of bandits does have a certain combat power, otherwise they would not have been able to eat Yuxian's team of 800 people.

But according to rumors, in that war, strictly speaking, the bandits were invincible, because the bandits were condescending and in a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and because of the limitations of the terrain, Yuxian invested two or three hundred soldiers at a time It was already the extreme, so the bandits picked up a cheap one to fight more and fight less, and to fight low with high.

As for the bandits who have been expanding their armies since then, but what is that? Think about the place in Mengyin, a barren land, with rare production, how many soldiers can be fed, those bandits are just a group of outcasts, and the army will disperse as soon as it arrives.

Zhang Rumei estimates that there will be hundreds of bandit backbones that will be difficult to exterminate, but she is ready to dispatch 10,000 troops, so even if there are hundreds of bandits armed with foreign guns, there is no reason for the imperial army to fail.

Zhang Rumei received the holy decree at the end of April, and the imperial court gave him a three-month period, and his activity time was five, six, seven, and three months, as long as the order of Mengyin was restored before the end of July, the task was completed.

However, Zhang Rumei is not willing to delay until that time, and some things will change later. Therefore, his plan is to raise food and troops throughout May, start in early June, and fight fiercely with bandits in Mengyin in mid-to-late June, even if the bandits can fight again, it will be enough to attack Mengyin in a month.

However, Zhang Rumei claimed to the outside world that 30,000 troops would be dispatched to suppress the bandits this time.

This is what the intelligence says, the governor of Shandong will recently dispatch an army of 30,000 to exterminate the Mengyin bandits!

Because Mao is easy to get this kind of information, in fact, such a big thing, the Shandong Governor's Mansion can't keep it secret at all, or they wish someone would tell the information to the Mengyin bandits, 30,000 troops, the bandits will run away as soon as they hear the news, right?
