Therefore, Zhang Suimou, the current military and political premier of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, served as the two generals of Sichuan Guard, Li Fuyou, and Lai Yuxin, led the troops to be stationed in the east and south directions, with Yibin, Chongqing, Dazhou, and Nanchong as the four important towns, each stationed in a division of troops, the stars held the moon, and Gong defended Chengdu, Li Fuyou was stationed in Yibin, and Lai Yuxin was stationed in Chongqing, focusing on preventing Qing attacks from Guizhou and Hubei, in the city of Chengdu. An independent garrison area was formed, and one division of troops was stationed under the direct jurisdiction of Zhang Suimou, and another division was scattered and stationed in western Sichuan and other counties, and the rest of the counties demanded the organization of militia, with battalions as units, to assist the regular army, and also formed several rapid reaction forces, which swam between the various units to respond.

The goal of maintaining the Sichuan base area is self-evident, especially the establishment of a reliable rear area, which can be replenished with a steady stream of materials and personnel, and these, here in Luoyang, more fundamentally, can have a stable environment for the development of the military industry and ensure that the arms industry can be rapidly established and expanded.

Carrying almost all the artillery units and heavy weapons and ammunition, the Luoyang troops quickly assembled, reorganized, and marched to northern Sichuan.

The forward force is Zeng Shihe, this veteran, experienced, is reliable, the key is that he and the family has a general Zeng Tianyang, was one of the pillars of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the early days, famous all over the world, and, under his command there were several generals, now developed, crowned the king, one of them is to help the king Chen Decai, by him to come forward, can quickly communicate, unite the Taiping army, and forge ahead together,

Huang Zaizhong is the left wing, Wei Pu becomes the right wing, Luoyang is the Chinese army brigade, each leading the strength of an army, from Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang, the second north, straight to the Jiange,

Because of the reorganization of the troops, plus the replenishment of the left-behind corps, the four armies of the Northern Expedition were reduced in establishment and personnel, and each corps had two infantry divisions, plus a cavalry battalion, an engineer battalion, a garrison regiment directly under the military headquarters, and an artillery regiment, with 25,000 men per army, totaling 100,000.

This is a regular establishment, however, in the Chinese military camp in Luoyang, there is also an independent artillery brigade and a special operations brigade, which is significantly higher in strength than other armies.

There are also many militia units responsible for transportation, about 30,000 people, plus 23,000 people of Luo Bingzhang's attached army, a total of 150,000.

When he arrived in Deyang, Luo Yang also specially recruited Luo Bingzhang and told his lofty ambitions again: "Mr. Luo, our army is the army of the Chinese nation, and we must quickly sweep away the tyranny in the country, the decadent group, the phenomenon of war, restore the ****, and establish a rich and strong future, so, for any person, we must actively strive for it, we have done our best, I hope the old gentleman will consider, if you are unwilling, stick to your own ideas, you can resign now, this king and others will meet all your requirements, Or send you back to your hometown with a bonus, or send you back to Sichuan to recuperate, you can choose. ”

"King Rui." Luo Bingzhang was so excited that tears flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists with both hands: "The old man has served you, in Chengdu for a few days, you teach every day, and show your grand ambition and generosity. ”

"But, Mr. Luo, you are a rare talent in the country, whoever gives up on you is a great loss, the Northern Expedition to Shaanxi, it is bound to fight with the Manchu army, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to face, the king of the North once again promises, your 20,000 troops, only fight with the Hui army."

"Thank you King Rui, the old man is the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he has done his best to run Hunan and Sichuan.

"Then, there is Mr. Lao, when Shaanxi is pacified, and Mr. 's army is out of Gansu, after that, he will guard Gansu for the Chinese nation, and the northwest border of Xinjiang and Qinghai."

Dispatched a lot of secret personnel to infiltrate the Han army and grasp the movements of this army anytime and anywhere, Luo Yang established close supervision of Luo Bingzhang's troops,

The battle was very easy, the preparations before the battle were very cumbersome, just for the preparation of the Northern Expedition, it was delayed for ten days, and there were many things that were not dealt with, among them, the most critical was the question of prisoners of war and officers of the Qing army.

Kill it directly, forget it, but, so many people, if they are dismissed, it will form a potential threat to the power of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, these regular troops of the Qing army, local regimental training, have undergone long-term training, military literacy is very high, if not used, it is a pity,

At the time of establishment, all the troops advancing northward were collectively called the Huaxia Northern Expeditionary Army, with Luoyang's headquarters of the Chinese Army as the Chinese Army, and the rest of the troops of the former Taiping Heavenly Kingdom generals as the Heavenly Army, with the troops led by Luo Bingzhang as the Han Army, and Zhang Suimou's troops as the Left-behind Army, or the Southern Front Corps.

The original Qing army, the current Han army, also got rid of the embarrassing atmosphere, one by one, elated, after all, Luo Yang's magnanimity, so that everyone has a new life, everyone is very grateful, and then there are the slogans and goals of the Chinese nation, can unite and lift the spirit,

After the capture of Chengdu, Luoyang attaches great importance to the establishment of special institutions, research and development of a large number of weapons and ammunition, flying thunder cannons and home-made grenades, etc., the number is huge, and it also stipulates the system of transporting arms to the front line on time.

The troops carried out extensive propaganda to make every officer and soldier understand that this northward march was a large-scale northern expedition, and that it was necessary to quickly sweep away Shaanxi, go east to Shanxi, Hebei, and approach the city of Beijing.

Luo Bingzhang's troops are also organized into two infantry divisions, each with a full strength of 10,000, and a unit directly under the military department.

The mood of all the armies was very positive, and before the departure they took the oath of division, the 150,000-strong army was gathered with great momentum, and the generals took the oath to take up the post of commander of the army and division, which caused bursts of cheers among the officers and soldiers.

When the troops arrived in Mianyang, news suddenly came, saying that Liu Rong, the general of the Hunan army, led the remnants of the defeated army, gathered the reinforcements, and attacked again, this time the Qing Dynasty reinforcements, there were 20,000 Hunan troops, 15,000 Guizhou troops, and 13,000 Hubei green camp troops, led by Yan Shusen, the governor of Hubei, and Xi Baotian, the fierce general of the Hunan army.

The situation in Sichuan is pressing, and all walks of life are in a hurry.

Luo Yang judged the situation and decided to continue the Northern Expedition, however, he removed all his left and right wing corps, returned to Chengdu with the left wing army Huang Zaizhong, stuck to the base camp, and turned back to the right wing of the Wei Pucheng army and returned to Dazhou, one to support Chongqing.

"As long as you hold on, you are not allowed to fight, and at the same time, tell Premier Zhang Suimou that Chengdu will speed up the production of artillery and supply the eastern front line to ensure the firepower superiority of our army."

In fact, when the Luoyang army arrived at the Sword Pavilion, the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army was greatly reduced, in fact, there were only 50,000 troops in the headquarters and more than 20,000 troops in Luo Bingzhang.
