Chapter 291: Battle (27)

Zhao Yingyuan, who was in the dust, quickly threw away his inexplicable emotions, signed up to meet Sun Chuanting's big tent, and after getting permission, he took off the copper helmet on his head, held it in his arms, and walked in cautiously.

Just before entering the account, he saw that Sun Chuanting's Chinese military camp was also repairing the outer defense and digging toilets, and for a while, Zhao Yingyuan, who thought that the Pingyu Army was just a group of rookies who wasted their physical strength, was also confused.

Master Sun Inspector Taibao is the first civil official in the current dynasty, not his qualifications and official position, but the qualifications of the real long-term feudal territory.

With Zhao Yingyuan's background in Shunjun, when he heard Sun Chuanting's name, he unconsciously became very respectful.

The reason why Zhu Dadian did so smoothly in Shandong is because he was the governor of Shandong in the sixth year of Chongzhen and successfully quelled the Denglai Rebellion of Kong Youde and others, so Zhu Dadian's prestige in Shandong is not comparable to ordinary people.

Zhu Cihong's original selection of candidates for Henan and Shandong can be said to have been exhausted.

"General Zhao is excused, please sit down."

For such a thief-born chief military officer who was promoted in the line of fire, Sun Chuanting did not discriminate and despise him, and when Zhao Yingyuan finished his salute, he immediately asked someone to bring a stool and asked Zhao Yingyuan to sit down and talk.

"Yes, the last general, Lord Xie Taibao, will give him a seat!"

There were also some generals in the tent, and when Zhao Yingyuan sat down, everyone bowed their heads to him.

In front of Sun Chuanting, no one dared to say hello to Mr. Zhao.

Fortunately, Zhao Yingyuan also knows that it is powerful, and he returns the salute with an honest smile.

"This is Lord Gong, Si Zheng of the Qingjiang Quartermaster Division, General Zhao, you and Lord Gong can say hello. This time, my Wang Division went north, and all logistics and military supplies were deployed by Lord Gong, you should have seen it all the way, Lord Gong is really a great contribution! ”

Hearing Sun Chuanting's words, Zhao Yingyuan's buttocks were on fire, and he immediately jumped up when he looked at Gong Dingyu, who was smiling.

Let's not talk about Gong Dingyu's Donglin Party and the foundation of the famous thing when he was in Yanjing, as well as the name of the great talent of the Fushe, plus the identity of the prince's confidant and civil official, which one should not make Zhao Yingyuan, the newly promoted general soldier, surrender to the ground?

Besides, the supply of military supplies is really admirable.

At the moment, as soon as my knees were weak, I wanted to kneel down and salute.

"General Zhao, no!"

Gong Dingxiao smiled gently and kindly, but his demeanor was also very resolute. He first held Zhao Yingyuan, and then said with a smile: "General Zhao has such a strong body, this armor, changed to the student's dress, don't say bend over, I'm afraid it's difficult to walk." ”

In a few words, all the generals in the account laughed, and a few people who didn't have a city government were even more happy. Gong Dingyu looked like a little white face, and what he said was of course the truth.

Invisibly, the murderous aura in the tent has weakened a lot.

Gong Dingxiao was so funny and amiable, and the sense of anxiety and alienation in Zhao Yingyuan's heart was much less, but he still said to Gong Dingxiao in trepidation: "My lord, it would be too rude to be like this. ”

"Where?" Gong Dingxiao said with a smile: "I'm just a third-grade Sizheng, and General Zhao is a second-grade chief military officer, according to the rules of this dynasty, if you want to salute, the students will salute the general first." ”

"Huh?" Listening to Gong Dingyu's words, Zhao Yingyuan's mouth was open, like a frightened toad.

With Zhao Yingyuan's cognition and memory of more than 30 years, it is the first time he has heard a civil official say such a thing. I didn't mention it in the countryside before, but later I joined the army, and I saw more of those die-hard Ming Dynasty civil officials. Even if he now votes for the Ming army as a general soldier, there are many civilian officials who use him as a subordinate to call him, at least, they don't treat him as a general soldier.

The state government is at the same level as him, and the county officials reluctantly give in first, this is still the current situation of chaos, a few decades ago, a show talent can be on an equal footing with the general soldier, and he dares to scold the general soldier in person.

"Ahem!"

Sun Chuanting was originally watching the excitement, but at this time, he heard what Gong Dingxiao said unlikely, and hurriedly coughed lightly.

Gong Dingyu smiled indifferently, put aside Zhao Yingyuan, who was still in a petrified state, took two steps back, and smiled without saying a word.

Even so, the attitude he showed was that the generals in the tent looked weird.

If you pay equal attention to civil and military, the prince has said it several times in Qingjiang. Now it seems that the Generalissimo Mansion of Qingjiang does have plans to change his course, otherwise, Gong Dingyu, the Si Zheng, would not have degraded his identity so easily.

For a while, everyone had their own ideas and plans in their hearts, but Sun Chuanting was here, and even if everyone squeezed their eyebrows, they didn't dare to say anything for a while.

Sun Chuanting was slightly displeased, but when he remembered the prince's letter, he also sighed softly, and he didn't say anything.

In the future, it was a foregone conclusion that the governor would be in charge of the army and not be in charge of the military affairs of a province. For example, the governor of Zhili may be in charge of the military affairs of Hebei, Henan, and Shandong provinces, and each province has its own town standard, and it will be the provincial military district in the future.

The military region has its own logistics, and in peacetime it is responsible for everything, and the generals are responsible for everything, except for logistics supplies and salaries.

As the leader of a large military region, the governor is a civilian official, but he is subject to the central authority in terms of logistical supply, including weapons, armor, artillery, and other strategic materials, and in the future, the military law department will be expanded, not only to carry out and supervise military law, but also to investigate military attachΓ©s who violate discipline and have bad intentions, supervise the chief soldiers or adjutant generals of a military region or military subdivision who are lazy or do not do their job properly, investigate corruption, and so on.

The Judge Advocate General's Department will not only supervise the upper echelons, but will also be formally assigned to the company level, not only to supervise and supervise, but also to be responsible for the welfare and morale of the army.

It is equivalent to a variant of the system of political commissars and priests.

At present, it can only be an assumption, and here in Sun Chuanting, it is just a wind.

However, after a leaf falls, Sun Chuanting can't help but feel sad about the political status and future of civil officials in the future.

The prince's vision for the future, of course, still has absolute control over the army, because the salary is restricted, and the transfer of a platoon must be reported to the military judges at all levels, even if it is the general army of the town, the army is restricted, and there is no need to use civil pressure to force force, it seems that the tradition of civilian officials riding on the neck of military generals to control everything is not only now, but also impossible to resume in the future...... Everything is different from before.

Barely suppressing this unpleasant emotion, Sun Chuanting began to look directly at Zhao Yingyuan, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao, you returned after Gao Pingyu arrived?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Yingyuan faced Sun Chuanting again, this time his mood was much calmer, looking at Sun Chuanting, he no longer seemed to be as depressed and frightened as he was just now.

According to Sun Chuanting's requirements, Gao Jie rushed to the west of Dezhou City as quickly as possible, and if the Qing army wanted to besiege the city in the north, several villages in the high hills west of the city would be the places to be attacked.

Gao Jie's cavalry is all elite, after arriving and did not stop because of fatigue, while camping and setting up a village, while getting in touch with Zhao Yingyuan in the city of Dezhou, and then Gao Jie's department camped on the basis of the city wall, and formed a horn with the city defense troops, after stabilization, Gao Jie naturally stayed to control the overall situation, and Zhao Yingyuan rushed to Sun Chuanting and Zhu Dadian to make a detailed report.

When Zhao Yingyuan reported, not only Sun Chuanting listened carefully, but also all the generals in the tent listened attentively.

Now it seems that the sentinel detective cavalry has been scattered far away, and Fang Dayou and the original Dezhou Qing army have withdrawn far away, and there is no threat at all.

As for the movements of the Eight Banners garrisons such as Huaita, it is worth noting, and what needs more attention is the "True Manchuria" Eight Banners army led by Abatai who went south from Yanjing.

"General Zhao has worked hard, but I will ask you to go back to Texas in a while, and the main force here in the headquarters will be pressed on the whole line tomorrow ......"

Sun Chuanting began the specific deployment of troops, which battalion should be pulled out and when to move, where will the defense area in Texas be tomorrow, how wide the area will be covered, what is the core task of defense, the number of soldiers who are standard, the rationing of firearms such as armor, weapons, and firearms, as well as the military rations and materials required for the mission, and so on.

Except for the Quartermaster Department, the rest of the matter is the matter of Sun Chuanting himself and the staff around him...... Gong Dingyu, who was sitting on the side, was leisurely, but he was tired and just wanted to die.

After beating the two Jinshi and the first, Gong Dingyu did not have such a tired method as now.

The hardships of the entire army have exceeded 100,000 people, including the people, and the distance of the road to supply military supplies is 1,300 miles, and there are hundreds of various supply units dispatched by the Quartermaster Department alone, and if it were not for the fact that the Quartermaster Department has enough qualified assistants and ordinary officials, I am afraid that he would have been tired and overturned by the general commissariat of the army.

But the effect is really good!

It is completely different from the chaotic logistics of the previous imperial court to mobilize the army, this time the military supply is dedicated to one person and one department, the personnel do not overlap, the materials are not wasted, and there will not be a situation where the soldiers in the front are still hungry, but the rear is like a mountain.

Not only military rations, the qualified quartermaster department has also contributed a lot in the unified deployment of armor and weapons, and now the soldiers who are full of mountains and valleys have bright armor and full of morale, Gong Dingyu can be very proud to say: "This has the great credit of my colleagues in the company!" ”

Sun Chuanting's satisfaction with military logistics also made him very tempted, he was originally a staff member, specializing in helping him take care of Qian Gu, Shuqi, staff and military, draw graphics, and sometimes make fun of poems and drinks...... Now the number of staff members is getting smaller and smaller, although it is the role of the Houlu Law and the Law of Placing Officials, but more often it is to see the effectiveness of the various divisions of the camp...... The General Staff Division has grown to more than 500 people, with all kinds of specialized personnel, and now a few young men around Sun Chuanting have unique geographical attainments, and they can accurately tell Sun Chuanting the influence of the terrain, rivers, valleys, and road conditions around Texas on the appearance of cavalry and the army...... These things can be done by an exceptionally outstanding military staff, but outstanding staff members are rare, and a few young men are better at calling, more obedient, and hard-working than outstanding staff.
