Chapter 135: Deployment
When Yu Lei showed his strength in Leshan, Wang Hengyue also started a series of actions in Rong County!
Due to their different purposes and different interests, the battle situation in Rongxian County has stabilized, and there is even some peace.
It's just that Wang Hengyue knows very well that this kind of peace will definitely not last too long.
The transport company's operations were temporarily suspended, and the security team was all pulled to Gongjing to protect the local salt well, which became the most important source of financial resources for the military and political axes at present.
As the largest salt merchant, Wang Hengyue held 28 salt wells in his hands, and did not use the brains of other salt merchants. Now in Rongxian and other places, what is most needed is stability.
The only thing Wang Hengyue did to the salt merchants was to absorb the arms of those salt merchants in the name of the military and political axe.
As for the salt merchants, the current places are Wang Hengyue's world, and with those guards in Yanjing, they will definitely not be able to defeat Wang Hengyue. Now that Wang Hengyue has promised to protect their salt well, what is the point of losing some human guns?
The armed guards and security guards were very polite to these people, which made the salt merchants even more reassured.
But soon a problem arose, the Qing soldiers blocked all salt roads, and the salt produced had nowhere to sell, what should I do? But Wang Hengyue's salt wells, everything is running as usual, and the salt produced is being transported outside every day.
The smarter salt merchant quickly realized the truth, and Lord Wang opened up the secret salt road! They immediately found Wang Hengyue and asked this Heng Shuai to help them think of a way.
The method proposed by Wang Hengyue is straightforward, buy these salts by yourself, and then find a way to ship it out by yourself, of course, the price must be satisfactory!
Although it is necessary to let the salt merchants make a lot of money less, according to the current situation, there is no way to find a way, although the salt merchants are not very happy, but after weighing the pros and cons, they still accept Wang Hengyue's plan.
Wang Hengyue is a well-known "miser", and the money he gave to those patrol battalions was to get it back no matter how he changed his methods. What is now being earned from these salt merchants not only makes up for these losses, but also makes a lot of money.
And if you want to stick to Rongxian, Leshan and other places to meet the upcoming war, the cymbal top arsenal has become the top priority!
You need weapons and bullets to fight! None of them can be achieved without it!
In their opinion, they are Wang Hengyue's employees, no matter what Wang Hengyue does, they just need to do their part.
And Wang Hengyue also agreed, as long as they can meet the needs of the front line, their overtime wages will be doubled!
People everywhere are the same, with the stimulation of silver, these people in West are full of energy, and the machine "rumbles" from day to night, and there is no time to stop. This made Wang Hengyue feel distressed, these machines were bought by Lao Tzu for a lot of money, if they were broken, whose family was this?
"Rong County Daily" is also a series of published articles, today is the front line victory, tomorrow is the importance of Heng Shuai to Rong County and other places, the day after tomorrow how many places took a congratulatory telegram to support Heng Shuai's revolution!
Where do the common people understand the meaning of revolution? They only knew that Heng Shuai was there, and so far the county seat of Rongxian County had not been attacked head-on by the Qing army.
And Ma Yunxin, under Wang Hengyue's signal, used the most ruthless move.
There is only one article in the whole newspaper, and the name of the article is also appalling:
As soon as Rong County is broken, the whole city will be slaughtered!
The article first started with the bloody massacres of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then turned to the nickname of Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, "Zhao Butcher". Zhao Erfeng is known as the butcher, once Rong County is attacked by him, where can there be a person in the entire Rong County who can survive? At that time, it will inevitably be a situation where blood is flowing and chickens and dogs are not left!
With the brutality of the Qing army first, the notoriety of Zhao Erfeng behind, and the encouragement of the newspapers, the people of Rong County completely believed it!
In any case, Rong County must be protected, and the premise of keeping Rong County is that Heng Shuai and his Chinese army are here!
Wang Hengyue was originally famous in Rong County, and his prestige was extremely high, but now with the encouragement of "Rong County Newspaper", the entire Rong County regards Wang Hengyue as the savior and protector here!
If Heng Shuai is here, there is Rong County!
Helping the Chinese army and the Qing army to fight hard is actually protecting themselves!
The entire Rong County has been mobilized with arms! For Hengshuai, but also for himself:
Let's fight!
Fight with the Qing army, defend the revolution, defend Rong County!
And this is exactly what Wang Hengyue is most willing to see!
The civilian army was also under the command of Wang Hengyue, and more than 3,000 people carefully selected from it were distributed weapons and trained, Wang Hengyue hoped that before the big war came, they could become a force that could be trusted!
And the recruitment is also in full swing, Wang Hengyue once again raised one or two military salaries, under the political agitation of high military salaries and newspapers, a large number of young people chose to join the Chinese army!
Wang Hengyue hopes that in the near future, he will be able to have an elite army of more than 10,000 people and a reserve force of 10,000 people, and at that time, he will not have to worry about anything!
In other aspects, there are indeed a lot of congratulatory messages from various places, all of which are sent by alliances from all over the country, which is nothing more than words of encouragement and the like, which does not help Wang Hengyue at all.
"At present, the battle situation is stable in the area of Chengjiachang." At another military meeting, Ma Xiao pointed to the map and said, "Here, we will arrange to compete with the strength of five battalions and the seventeen towns. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions were all full, but the newly formed 5th and 62nd battalions were actually still in the team. ”
Wang Hengyue glanced at Yang Sen and Wang Zhanxu: "The newly trained soldiers will give priority to supplementing the fifth and sixty-second battalions!" ”
"Thank you, Governor!" Yang Sen and Wang Zhanxu hurriedly saluted.
Wang Hengyue nodded: "The current calm is temporary, and when Zhao Erfeng eases up and reinforces his strength, or the Manchu court continues to exert pressure on them, or transfers troops from Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and other places, then a vicious battle will inevitably be inevitable." I have an idea. ”
Wang Hengyue asked his subordinates to gather in front of the map: "You see, if the Qing army wants to capture Rong County, it must first attack Chengjiachang, and the army is gathered here, either it will not fight, or it will be a vicious battle!" You have to be prepared in advance."
said, and paused there: "Jiading, Yibin!" ”
Xu Mu immediately said: "What does Heng Shuai mean, once the Qing army attacks us, then we will attack Jiading and Yibin, and surround Wei to save Zhao?" ”
"Yes, that's what I meant!" Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "Wai Wei to save Zhao!" The front is resisted, and we will fight Jiading and Yibin again, and the Qing soldiers will inevitably divide their troops to rescue, which greatly reduces the frontal pressure! Lao Tzu is not strong enough, the strength is enough, Lao Tzu directly hit Chengdu, took off Zhao Erfeng's brain, and gave Lao Tzu a night pot! ”
"Boom", and the subordinates all laughed.
Wang Hengyue smiled and quieted everyone down: "Let's keep this strategy for now to avoid angering the Qing army." Forcing the decisive battle to come early. If they don't fight, we will be happy, but if they want to fight, we will do it in advance! Who wants to take on this responsibility? ”
Before Wang Hengyue's old subordinates had time to ask for battle, Yang Sen had already preemptively said: "Governor, Wang Zhanxu and I are willing to take on this important task!" ”
"Oh?" Wang Hengyue didn't expect that Yang Sen would be the first to stand up: "Yang Sen, you and Wang Zhanxu's battalion has not been replenished yet, what if the war starts tomorrow?" ”
"Three hundred people are enough!" Yang Sen was not afraid at all: "Three hundred people are used properly, it is enough!" As long as we are equipped with enough weapons and ammunition, we are sure. What's more, if the Qing army chooses to fight a decisive battle with us in Rong County, then the defenses in other places will inevitably be empty, and the most important point is that our purpose is not to take Jiading or Yibin, but to force the Qing army to divide troops to rescue, and from this point we can do it! ”
"Good!" Wang Hengyue praised loudly: "Zihui's words are so majestic! If the Qing army doesn't fight, if you really can't help but do it, I will be the first to use you! ”
"Thank you for cultivating!" Janssen said loudly.
Out of the headquarters, Wang Zhanxu was a little puzzled: "Zihui, this task is extraordinary, it can only succeed, not fail." What if the Qing army concentrates its forces on us? ”
"Then you have to grit your teeth and persevere!" Yang Sen replied, and suddenly asked rhetorically: "Zhiyi, let me ask you, why do they call Du Du 'Heng Shuai', but we are called 'Du Du'?" ”
Wang Zhanxu shook his head in confusion, and Yang Sen said in a low voice: "Because the title of Heng Shuai is specially set for those old men with military and political axes and old subordinates of the governor. And we are new to Chengcheng. What to do? If you want to rise to the top and gain the trust of the governor, you have to make a few achievements. Although this time is dangerous, it is also a great opportunity for us and the sprout! As long as we can succeed, the Governor will definitely look at us differently! ”
"Understood." Wang Zhanxu nodded
"Yang Sen can't wait to make meritorious contributions."
In the military and political axe, Wang Hengyue said with a smile.
"Not bad." Ma Xiao said: "They are new to Chengcheng, and they have a distance from us, and this is also an opportunity for them." ”
"If they want to make meritorious contributions, I will give them them!" Wang Hengyue's smile became more and more vigorous: "The greater the merit they make, the more beneficial it will be to our military and political axe." ”
Ma Xiao groaned: "But Yang Sen is not an ordinary person, what if he can't control it in the future?" I'm worried that he'll be bad for Heng Shuai in the future. ”
"Ma San, have you ever seen horse training?"
Wang Hengyue's question made Ma Xiao a little confused, Wang Hengyue smiled lightly and said:
"A horse master, training a war horse is nothing, but to train a fierce horse and wild horse, it will be much more difficult, I am this horse trainer, Yang Sen is a fierce horse, wild horse!"
