Chapter 434: King Qin's Army

It's a sunny day again.

Today is the summer solstice, and it will be ambush in a few days, but there is not much feeling of imminent heat on Jeju Island; With the gentle sea breeze blowing, this beautiful island still has a strong spring scent.

In the gatehouse of the West Gate of Jeju Island, Chu Fan was half-leaning on a bamboo recliner, and a glass of orange juice was placed on the low table next to him - that's right, the cup was a tall wine glass, and the orange juice was freshly squeezed by Chu Fan to teach the cook, and some ice cubes were added to it, which was knocked down from the ice room of Jeju Mansion.

He was wearing a T-shirt on his upper body, a pair of beach pants on the lower body, and a pair of clogs beside the bamboo chaise longue - these clothes that seemed strange to others were drawn by Chu Fan himself and made by the tailor - except for a pair of sunglasses, this outfit can be described as standard equipment for sunbathing on the beach.

More than a month has passed since the Great War, and after the storm forced down Daejeong County that day, the entire Jeju Island gradually regained its calm after the initial chaos and turmoil; The strings that had been tight for half a year were loosened suddenly, and Chu Fan fell into a lazy state - he completely let go of the general small things, and only stared at a few big things, so he had a lot of leisure time to spend with his family or enjoy life, just like lying in the gatehouse now.

Looking out from the West Gate Gate, the scenery is intoxicating: the vast sea is unrippling, and a few flocks of sand gulls are flying up and down around the white sails of the fishing boats; On the snow-line-like silvery white sand, the waves tirelessly rush up again and again, leaving layers of ripples; The plain between the hills and the sandy beach is covered with long grass and dotted with unknown summer flowers; On the hills, however, there is a different view, with trees of various sizes covering the horizon like emeralds.

After taking a sip of orange juice, Chu Fan put his hands behind his head and focused his gaze on the dirt road that stretched out from the West Gate - it was the main road from Jeju City to Dajing County, and it was empty.

After waiting for about half an hour, there was finally movement; The night of five or six horses appeared in view, and they divided into two groups and walked through the woods on both sides of the dirt road; Soon a night squad appeared behind them, with all the horses in their hands, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Chu Fan raised his eyebrows, reached out and grabbed the pocket watch on the low table and glanced at it, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

This is the North Korean Qinwang army from Dajing County to Jeju City camping training - after the war, Chu Fan began to reorganize a Korean Qinwang army, with the Jingyi County regimental training camp as the backbone, absorbing the Dajing County regimental training battalion, Jeju city defense battalion and the people available in the Korean prisoners, forming this army of more than 2,000 people.

This is related to the success or failure of the future North Korean strategy, so it is the most important thing that Chu Fan personally grasped; In order to rapidly improve the combat strength of the Qinwang army, Chu Fan not only allocated all the captured weapons, robes, and golden drums to them, but even equipped them with the same half-body armor as the Fuliao army and the Lu Mi gun eliminated by the Fuliao army.

The hardware is in place, and the software can't be bad - in order to speed up the formation of combat effectiveness, Chu Fan also transferred more than 100 veterans with rich training experience from the Fuliao Army to serve as instructors, so that the training level and intensity of the Qinwang Army basically reached the level of the Fuliao Army.

In just one month, the combat power of this Qinwang army has increased rapidly, and in the eyes of the veteran Li Minho, who has made many achievements, this army is only seen in his life - except for the Fuliao army, of course.

The reason why Chu Fan wanted to build the Qinwang army at the expense of blood was because he needed this army to go to North Korea and set fire to it - that's right! It is to set a fire in the hinterland of Korea by rescuing Gwanghae-kun, and finally bury the Korean royal court in the raging fire!

Gwanghaejun Li Hui, the second son of the fourteenth king of the Korean Li Dynasty, Seonjo, was ordered to take charge of state affairs in the Korean campaign during the Wanli period, led the whole country to resist the invasion of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and finally sat on the throne of the king of Korea, and his status in the hearts of the Koreans was very high, and he was an out-and-out anti-Japanese hero; His nephew Li Ju staged a palace coup six years earlier, deposed Li Hui in one fell swoop, burned him blind with lime, and imprisoned him on Ganghwa Island.

In Chu Fan's opinion, this is really an excellent "gift" given to him by God - he is not only a former king, but also an anti-Japanese hero, and the best thing is that he has become a wasted person, such Li Hui, isn't the size of the most standard puppet?

Therefore, in Chu Fan's North Korean strategy, Li Hui is the one who is bound to win; But the rescue of Li Hui can't all rely on the Liao army, after all, he is the abolished king of Joseon, if he is rescued by a group of Ming people, the political image will be completely ruined; Therefore, it must be done by the Korean army, which is the fundamental reason for the establishment of the Qinwang army.

Of course, the comprehensive arming of the Qinwang army is also a double-edged sword, and it is really possible that one accidentally helped Li Hui make a wedding dress - after all, the vast majority of this army are Koreans, and the areas of future activities are all in the hinterland of North Korea, and it is easy to lose control and degenerate into an independent army.

For this reason, Chu Fan and the high-level of the Fuliao army discussed for a long time before formulating several principles, the first is to control this army as much as possible by mixing sand; The second is to send the first battalion of the Fuliao Army to act together with it, so that when the situation is critical, there will be enough force to control the situation.

This determined that the scope of activity of the Qin Wangjun could only be north of the Han River - first, there were rich coal and iron resources there, and the first battalion could take into account the safety of coal mines and iron mines; Second, it is very close to Dongjiang Town, which is convenient for communication with Dongjiang Town and easy to infiltrate into it.

On this basis, Chu Fan demanded that the logistics supply of the Qin Wangjun and the human and financial rights in the future puppet government should also be firmly controlled.

As long as the above points are done, Chu Fan believes that no matter how far the Qin Wang Army develops, it will never be able to escape from the palm of his hand.

Once the policy is decided, the next step is to select the key positions.

Rescuing Gwanghae-jun and forming a new government is not only a military issue, but also an extremely complex and thorny political issue, so the commander of the first battalion is definitely not competent; Fortunately, Zhu Chunchen, the superintendent of the Jingyi County League Training Camp recommended by Ling Ming before, Chu Fan completely changed his opinion of him after observing him during this period of time - it is true that this kid has a deep temperament, but after all, he is a child of a family, and he has been exposed to political struggle since he was a child, and his sensitivity and skill in political struggle are really a bit perfect; Not to mention anything else, in just a few months in Jingyi County, he vividly divided this gang of low-ranking officials into several factions, and the regimental training camp was even more difficult to penetrate by the needle he operated, and he was really a master of playing struggle.

Therefore, Chu Fan decided to make him the governor of the Qin Wangjun, and when the government of Guanghaijun was formed in the future, he would set up a position of "Guan Bai" for him on top of the Lingyi government - the military power was concentrated in the hands of Zhu Chunchen, and he was afraid that the Koreans would be able to turn the sky upside down?

Thinking of this, Chu Fan proudly picked up the glass of orange juice and drank it all, and once again set his eyes on the city - the entire army of King Qin's army had arrived on time and was busy setting up camp.

He was looking at King Qin's army, but he didn't know that there were also people in King Qin's army looking at him. (To be continued.) )
