Since the official start of the war with Tsarist Russia at the Heihetun Wharf, dozens of battles have annihilated Tsarist Russia with a total of nearly 60,000 people, and the early battle is due to the small number of personnel of the Black Dragon Army itself, so very few prisoners are left, and in the later stage, especially to the third anti-encirclement and suppression, most of the battles, as long as the Tsarist Russia surrenders, it is basically to accept surrender.

Counting down, there were more than 6,000 Russian soldiers captured by the Black Dragon Army, including nearly ten generals at the level of generals, such as former Commander Gribsky of Hailanpao, Major General Brigade Commander Ivanoves, Lieutenant General Grodeva Kov, Chief of Staff Pa Novis, Major General Brigade Commander Minovsky, Mordau, Sinan Moore, Sergei and so on.

Now these Tsarist Russian soldiers are basically carrying out labor reform, free labor, and free labor can be used to die, that is not in vain, otherwise it is a waste of food, and the fortifications of the wolf domain are still being completed, and the three lines of defense of the wolf domain to the life base of Yunxia Valley are also being repaired in full force, this free labor, naturally the more the better.

Now after Yue Qingjie put it forward, he found that the role of these captives is far more than just being free labor, and many of these technical arms, such as artillery, maintenance soldiers and other prisoners, can actually make them shine again, of course, the premise is that they must take all kinds of precautions.

"Chief of the General Staff, even if the instructor can be used as a prisoner, what about the source of soldiers?" Luo Qing asked again.

"Hehe, this problem, in fact, is not only your naval fleet, the new 102nd Regiment and the Marine Corps are also more than 1,000, and the three artillery regiments are also more than 500, so in addition to the naval fleet, their total shortage is also about 3,500."

Yue Xiang paused, looked at Yue Qingren, the leader of the teaching team and the commander of the recruit battalion, and asked, "Qingren, how many recruits has the recruit battalion recruited in the past few days?" ”

"About one thousand and one were recruited, but there have been fewer and fewer people who have come to join the army in the past two days." Yue Qingren replied.

With the victory of the third anti-encirclement and suppression, with the official secret surrender and full cooperation of Fei Qing's representatives, the reputation of the Black Dragon Army has been greatly spread again, which naturally makes it much easier for the Black Dragon Army to recruit new soldiers, but five days have passed, the peak has passed, there is no way, there is only so much population in the Wolf Domain, and the number of soldiers will definitely become fewer and fewer if it is recruited again and again.

"Well, a thousand and one is almost enough." Yue Xiang paused, and then said: "Since this is the case, let's talk about the reorganization of Yu Busheng's department, Fan Yi'an and Li Zongzan's department in advance, two days ago, Yue Weiyun, the commander of the Xigang Army Division, has sent a telegram that the Qing army of Yu Busheng's department has passed the assessment, and the two senior brothers are also willing to take refuge in the Black Dragon Army, this matter, the commander-in-chief also knows, but the commander-in-chief did not give clear instructions on how to reorganize, so, take advantage of today's opportunity, everyone talk, see what opinions there are?" ”

"Also, there are two reorganization plans initially set by the General Staff, one is to split Busheng, Fan Yi'an, and Li Zongzan's headquarters into battalion-level units according to the original model of General Adviser Yang's headquarters, and then integrate them into each missing regiment, and the other plan is to follow the example of the 103rd and 104th regiments, these three parts of the army, plus Zou Yin's independent battalion, also have about 3,000 people, which can be organized into two regiments."

There is no doubt that the first plan is more conducive to controlling these men, and the second plan can retain their combat effectiveness to the greatest extent, of course, at the beginning, Fei Qing's headquarters were directly reorganized into the 103 and 104 regiments on the spot, mainly considering the issue of temporary secrecy, otherwise it would definitely be broken up and reorganized, and now the staff has put forward this possibility, which is mainly to preserve the combat effectiveness of the three teams.

I have to think about it this way, although it is said that the third anti-encirclement and suppression has been victorious, and almost all of the tens of thousands of enemies who have come to attack Tsarist Russia have been annihilated, but judging from the movements of Fengtian and Jilin provinces a few days ago, the fourth wave of encirclement and suppression of Tsarist Russia can almost be expected to be a tough battle, and the success or failure of this battle will also really determine the future of the Black Dragon Army.

"I support the first option." Yue Hai, Minister of General Logistics, took the lead in expressing his position.

"I also support the first option." General Counsel Yang Fengxiang then seconded.

"I second."

……

The attitude of everyone, almost 100% chose the first plan, and almost no reason was given, which made Yue Xiang feel a little helpless, he knew why he would take it over to discuss like this, but this is also reflected from the side, the strong self-confidence of everyone here, and the lack of formation of each regiment, I am afraid it is also one of the important reasons.

Of course, the real reason is undoubtedly to let everyone better control this new force, especially Fan Yi'an, Li Zongzan and Zou Yin, these people originally belonged to the Boxer system, if they were to be formed independently, it was indeed not a good idea, at least in the eyes of everyone here, it was rather than sacrificing part of their combat effectiveness to enhance their control.

"Okay, then it's decided, as for how to split it, we have to wait for Zhou Dabiao to bring them back to the wolf domain." After Yue Xiang finished speaking, he said to Luo Qing: "The autonomy you just mentioned, the commander-in-chief's reply is that it can be given to you, but it is only for ordinary sailors, and combatants and artillery are definitely not good." ”

"Hehe, in fact, the permission I want is to recruit ordinary crews, as for combatants and artillery, isn't it right away." Luo Qing said with a smile.

"Look at my memory." Yue Xiang patted his head and said helplessly: "Commander Luo, I'm afraid you have to send an elite army to Murgen City as soon as possible, well, the source of your sailor fleet should be found there." ”

"What do you mean?" Luo Qing said a little incomprehensibly.

"In the jurisdiction of the deputy capital of Morgen, there is a sailor battalion in Nenjiang, you should know." Yue Xiang reminded.

"Well, I've heard of it, and I've dealt with it before."

Luo Qing nodded, and finally understood what Yue Xiang meant, but although the sailor battalion was not very good, it was directly under the jurisdiction of the general of Heishui Province, and it was claimed to have four battalions of men and horses, and dozens of large and small warships, the key was that the chief soldier of this sailor battalion, Zart, was not so easy to talk to, would they choose to take refuge?

Luo Qing's question, Yue Xiang naturally saw it in his psychology, but he just smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yue Weiyun and Wanyan Batu will find a way to deal with it and let you send someone to go, just to screen and select the officers and soldiers who are suitable for our Black Dragon Army Naval Division." ”

"That's good." Luo Qing finally put his mind at ease.

After discussing a few more questions, Yue Hai, who had been sitting there and was a little bored, finally seized the opportunity to speak and asked: "Chief of General Staff, the formation of our Moling Army Division has been preliminarily completed, when can I lead the troops to Moling, give me a quasi-letter." ”

Due to Yue Weihua's special care, the formation of the Moling Army Subdivision was absolutely smooth, and the two infantry battalions, an artillery battalion, the Langya Special Combat Detachment, the Intelligence Department, the Health Company, and other institutions were all fully equipped within two days.

However, because of the big moves made by Tsarist Russia in Mukden and Jilin, Yue Hai's itinerary had to be delayed, because according to the current situation, the fourth wave of Tsarist Russia's attack should be launched from the direction of Bingcheng, and after suffering the loss of the third encirclement and suppression, Tsarist Russia may not disperse its forces again, and should choose a large army to enter Bingcheng directly from Jilin, and then go all the way north and crush it.

If the guess is really good, then the formation of the Moling Army Division must be postponed, because Moling Town is the only way to go from Bingcheng to Aihui, and the military division that has just been formed is at best a regiment-level scale, and in the face of the advance of the opponent's large army, it is definitely not a level, rather than this, it is better to temporarily leave Yue Hai's headquarters in the Wolf Domain Headquarters, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the headquarters.

"What are you anxious about?" Yue Xiang glared at Yue Hu, and then continued: "I have already discussed this matter with the commander-in-chief, you will not go to Moling Town for the time being, of course, your number will be retained first, but your station will be temporarily changed to the Eighteen Union Forts." ”

Eighteen Lianbao, located in the southwest of the second station, is about 20 miles away from the wolf domain, and is located on the periphery of the Bren Mountains like the wolf domain, and now the mountain road between the eighteen forts and the wolf domain (that is, through the mountain road inside the Bren Mountains) has been opened, so that the distance between the two sides has been shortened to more than ten miles.

The opening of this mountain road has indeed strengthened the connection between the Wolf Domain and the Eighteen Forts, but it has also increased the danger of the Eighteen Forts, because once the Tsarist Russia besieges the Wolf Domain, then the Eighteen Fort is very likely to become a direction of attack for Tsarist Russia, so before the big war, the Black Dragon Army must send a force to the Eighteen Fort to make relevant defensive preparations.

Obviously, after comprehensive consideration, Yue Hu directly sent his troops to the Eighteen Lianbao, Yue Hu was a little helpless when he heard the news, and originally wanted to go to Moling and take charge alone, but he didn't expect to be delayed again, pouted, glanced at Qiao San, and said with a smile: "Captain Qiao, what are you going to invite me to eat at night?" ”

Qiao San is from Qiaojiabao in the Eighteenth Fort, and protecting the Eighteenth Fort is to protect Qiao San's family, so of course Qiao San has to express it.

"Commander Yue, if you want to eat, you can mention it." Qiao San smiled happily, and continued: "Actually, the Eighteenth Union Fort has recently formed a militia regiment, the number of which is about six hundred, if Commander Yue is empty at that time, train them well for me, and when the time comes, these militia groups will definitely obey the command of Commander Yue." ”

It turned out that the militia of the Eighteen Lianbao were all under the leadership of Qiao San and joined the Black Dragon Army, but with the continuous escalation of the scale of several battles, Qiao San was worried that the Black Dragon Army would not have time to rescue the Eighteen Lianbao at that time, so he secretly let the Eighteen Lianbao re-establish a militia group, if Qiao San had known that the headquarters would send Yue Hu to lead troops to garrison, I am afraid that this militia would not exist.

"Oh, a militia of more than six hundred?" Yue Hu smiled and said, "Hehe, Commander Qiao, don't worry, I will definitely treat them as the official training of the Black Dragon Army, hehe." ”

Seeing Yue Hu smiling so happily, Qiao San could only smile bitterly secretly, it seems that this militia is a meat bun and a dog has no return.

……

The meeting continued, and after discussing various things for more than an hour, the scene slowly calmed down, and then Yue Xiang said in conclusion: "Okay, this meeting has been a bit long, now let's talk about the last topic, of course, the most important topic in today's meeting, that is, about the internal security of the Black Dragon Army." ”

"Everyone should know that the Qing court has colluded with Tsarist Russia, and in Mukden and Jilin, not only Tsarist Russia is amassing a large army, but the Qing court is also amassing a large army, and it is also constantly recruiting new soldiers, the purpose is self-evident."

"The combat effectiveness of the Qing army, perhaps, can't get into everyone's eyes, of course, except for our subordinates like General Adviser Yang, well, what I'm talking about is only the majority, the General Advisor, and all the generals who originally joined from the Qing Army, don't take it to heart."

Yue Xiang smiled, and after explaining, he continued: "Let's make it clear, if we fight the Qing army head-on, we will definitely not be afraid, but in terms of conspiracy and trickery, I am afraid that we still need to be vigilant, such as spreading rumors, secretly buying, sowing discord and so on." ”

"For this reason, the commander-in-chief specially sent me a telegram to tell me about this matter, and asked me to convey to everyone that while everyone is actively training, we should not forget to give more ideological education to the soldiers, and take time to reason with the soldiers at night, and so on."

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing, and I must also inform you, just yesterday, the day after the cavalry regiment arrived in the ice city, there were little devils waiting to come to the door to ask for a meeting, and the purpose of saying this thing is actually to tell everyone that our Black Dragon Army is gradually being exposed to the eyes of the world, and the forces of all parties will be like sharks smelling blood, surrounding them, and the little devils are one of the examples."

"To this end, in addition to strengthening ideological education in the whole army, the most important thing is that the intelligence department must strengthen its counter-espionage and counter-investigation." Yue Xiang said this, looked at Liu Liren, and said: "Minister Liu, although the Ministry of Intelligence has not been established for a long time, the commander-in-chief has given everything that can be given to you, and I hope that the Ministry of Intelligence can fight this battle well." ”

"Yes, Chief of the General Staff, guarantee the completion of the task." After Liu Liren finished speaking, he paused and arched his hand to everyone and said: "However, if you want to win this battle, you must cooperate with all of you here. ”

"Minister Liu is right, counter-espionage, counter-investigation, stopping rumors, etc., it is certainly not enough to rely on the Ministry of Intelligence alone, and everyone here really needs to cooperate closely, if anyone deliberately obstructs the work of the Ministry of Intelligence, the commander-in-chief will not agree." Yue Xiang also agreed.

"Hehe, how could it be."

"Don't worry, I will fully cooperate."

"Yes."

Everyone seconded the proposal, just as Yue Xiang was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, a staff officer of the staff department sent a piece of information to Yue Xiang's hands, Yue Xiang looked at it, and handed it directly to Yang Fengxiang, and then congratulated: "Chief Adviser Yang, this time you can relax and serve the Black Dragon Army." ”

It turned out that Qin Haiji had led the team to Kyoto, and successfully received the family members of Yang Fengxiang who had taken refuge in the suburbs of Beijing, as well as some of the family members of Wang Hankun and other subordinates, and now they have all boarded the ship to Shanghai, that is to say, Yang Fengxiang and some of the original subordinates' family members are officially out of danger.

"Haha, it's really good news in recent days, when it's a big white." Yang Fengxiang smiled: "Oh, this is thanks to the commander-in-chief, by the way, where is the commander-in-chief now?" When are you going to come back? ”

"Commander-in-chief, it should be in the third surname now."
