Chapter 47 The plan for the conquest of Korea was launched ahead of schedule
Xu Qing didn't bet the treasure completely on King Yan's body, he still had a second and third plan. In the evening of the same day, Xu Qing returned to the Yanshan base and held a high-level meeting to announce several major events in addition to the trip to Chang'an and make arrangements for work and personnel arrangements for the next period of time:
1. Let Zhao Tuocai temporarily take the position of the head of the Longmen Dart Bureau, preside over the daily work of the Longmen Dart Bureau, Yang Yi is his secret deputy, and does not appear in public, in fact, Yang Ziyan temporarily takes the position of the head of the Longmen Dart Bureau, and remotely commands the Longmen Dart Bureau in the Yanshan base, and sits in the Yanshan base, Yang Min, Yang Siqi, Cui Ling, Li Xiuer, Fei'er, Lian'er are their deputies, and Zhao Mengchen's grandfather and grandmother are Yang Ziyan's staff officers. Yang Ziyan makes her own decisions on small matters, and discusses major matters with her deputy, staff officer, Zhao Tuocai, and Yang Yi, votes, and the minority obeys the majority.
2. Cui Meng succeeded Ji Yusheng in charge of the original gang business taken over by the Longmen Dart Bureau, and submitted financial statements to Xu Qing's secretariat every month.
3. Cui Zhenhai led the first battalion of the First Dart Division, Luo Huiliang led the first battalion of the Second Dart Division, Zhao Tuoyong led the second battalion of the Second Dart Division, and Ji Yusheng led the 1,000 strong and martial arts disciples of the Yuan Fang Gang who returned to Xu Qing, and promoted Ling Er, the commander of the third company of the first battalion of the second regiment (women's corps) of the New Army, to the acting commander of any battalion of the second regiment of the New Army, and led all the female soldiers of the first battalion of the second regiment of the New Army except for Yang Min, who also served as the commander of the first company, and promoted Zhao Chunhua, the commander of the third battalion and the first company of the second regiment (women's corps) of the new army, to serve as the acting commander of the third battalion, and led all the female soldiers of the third battalion of the second regiment of the new army, totaling more than 2,700 people, and went to former Goguryeo and Baekje in batches. Choi Zhenhai served as the supreme commander of the private armed forces stationed in Xu Qing in North Korea, and Luo Huiliang, Zhao Tuoyong, Ji Yusheng, Ling'er, Zhao Chunhua, and Zhao Qiuyue had the right to question and block Choi Zhenhai's decision, but it was necessary to convene a seven-member group meeting to vote, and the minority obeyed the majority.
Xu Qing originally planned to bring Ji Yusheng to his side, cultivate Ji Yusheng well, and train him to be his henchman and capable general, in order to balance the power of the original Heifengling Group, and originally planned to bring Zhao Chunhua and Zhao Qiuyue sisters to Chang'an to protect Wang Meihui closely, but the plan to conquer North Korea was launched in advance, and they were needed even more.
It's easy to fight a country, but it's hard to govern a country, just look at the performance of the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan. How strong is the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 Tang army, looking at the history books, it can be seen that during the Tang Dynasty Xuanzong period, the Tang Dynasty army and the invincible Arab imperial ** team in Africa, West Asia, and Central Asia fought in the area of present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the 20,000 Tang army and 30,000 or 40,000 Western Regions vassal ** team fought a draw with the 200,000 Arab army.
There were 20,000 Tang troops stationed in Andong Prefecture, but they could not withstand the attacks and harassment of Goguryeo and Baekje forces that rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and retreated to Liaodong. As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to defend, I am in the open, the enemy is in the dark, the 20,000 powerful Tang army is afraid of the anti-Tang forces of Goguryeo and Baekje, the casualties are too large and take the initiative to retreat, Xu Qing to Goguryeo and Baekje only put in a mere 2,700 private armed forces, will he follow in the footsteps of the Tang army?
There was more than one person who raised concerns at the meeting, and Yang Ziyan, Zhao Mengchen, Zhao Gain, Zhao Tuozhi, Cui Zhenhai, Yang Yi, Luo Huiliang and other key personnel all raised their worries. Zhao Mengchen has just come out of the customs and has been in retreat for more than two months, not only has all the 50 years of skill delivered to Xu Qing come back, but also practiced more than 70 years of internal strength, and Zhao Mengchen's internal strength at this time has reached 320 years, and he is firmly in the position of the first master in Xu Qing's more than 10,000 private armed forces.
However, when Xu Qing showed the military map with terrain and landforms taken by satellites in later generations, everyone was once again convinced that Xu Qing was a person from the Shenzhou Kingdom in the distant unknown continent, and they were convinced that Xu Qing knew the identity of the astrologer in the past and future.
This matter was decided, and the 2,700 men were only the vanguard troops, and additional troops would be sent later depending on the situation. They went to Goguryeo, Baekje, and later Silla, to do trade, not to fight, and when they were attacked, they fought back. Xu Qing's order was that the counterattack must be ruthless, to hurt and fear the enemy, if the enemy kills one of us, we will kill a hundred, a thousand, and if the enemy harbors terrorists (or rebels) who attack us in a certain village, we will slaughter the enemy's entire village.
The disciples of the front gang used to mingle in the rivers and lakes, and they were accustomed to fighting, killing, and killing, and they were trained by King Yan as a special force, and they have strong individual combat ability and high coordination combat ability, and should be able to do pioneering work in North Korea. Ji Yusheng was the leader of the disciples in the front gang, so Xu Qing had to change his mind and send Ji Yusheng to North Korea.
Ji Yusheng has no doubts about Xu Qing's temporary change of work arrangements for Ji Yusheng, he is convinced by Xu Qing and obeys unconditionally. Ji Yusheng was sure that the time had come for him to show his strength, and he sharpened his fists.
Cui Zhenhai and Luo Huiliang are both military generals of the remnants of the old Sui army, and their martial arts are high, so they are suitable to be the commanders of this military adventure. Although this remnant army of the old Sui Dynasty was the defeated general of the remnant army of the old Sui Dynasty, it had extremely strong combat effectiveness, and fought against the regular army of the Tang Dynasty many times with far more outnumbered than the remnants of the old Sui Dynasty, and the more they fought, the stronger they became. The 1st Dart Division and the 2nd Dart Division are the elite troops among them, and 1,000 against 3,000 Tang troops can win safely, but against 5,000 Tang troops they will not necessarily lose.
The Second Regiment of the Third Dart Division, that is, the women's regiment of the New Army, has two pistols, new weapons and old weapons to train together, although the two female battalions sent to North Korea have not yet participated in actual combat, Xu Qing expects that it will not be lower than the melee combat ability of the 10,000 regular troops of the Tang Army.
Zhao Tuoyong is a top master of martial arts, very good at business, suitable for trade in North Korea. He didn't go to North Korea alone, but brought a large group of Zhao family masters.
Intelligence expert, the subdued Tang Dynasty spy Xiao Shanshu (pseudonym Wang Qiang) went out with the army.
The 2,700 troops were transferred to Korea to carry out trade, Xu Qing had to take two battalions of the new army to Chang'an, and 2,300 of the 4,000 people at the Yanshan base were transferred away, and the 1st Dart Division, the 2nd Dart Division, and the 3rd Dart Division of the New Army all suffered serious personnel losses, Xu Qing asked Yang Ziyan to make up for the three Dart Divisions as soon as possible, especially the New Army, to add two male corps and two female corps to meet the needs of the future conquest of Korea.
It is also necessary to pay close attention to the work of copying submachine guns and the development of body armor. In addition to the unsuccessful imitation of the barrel of the submachine gun, the rest of the parts were successfully copied, and all the parts of the 1,000 submachine guns except the barrel were made, and Xu Qing added 2,000 more. After the imitation of the barrel of the submachine gun was handed over to the Famous Sword Villa, Dong Yuanshan used the best weapon craftsmen, and the initial success was achieved in just a few days, and it still needs to be improved, and it should not be too far from the day when the submachine gun imitation is successful.
Xu Qing asked Yang Ziyan to inform Dong Xijun, who did not attend the meeting, and asked her to increase the order for 2,200 submachine gun barrels with her father. The submachine gun is extremely powerful, Xu Qing once again stressed the need for strict secrecy, different parts are manufactured by different personnel and sites, and finally in another site, another personnel complete the assembly, and the test work is carried out by changing the site and changing personnel.
The development of hard body armor has been successful, and the development of soft body armor is limited by the fact that the Tang Dynasty did not have a high-strength composite ceramic process, and there is no manufacturing technology for soft body armor lining materials, and the newly developed mulberry silk braid lining is still under development, and some progress has been made.
Xu Qing planned to talk to King Yan before leaving for Chang'an, and entrusted the official kiln in the jurisdiction of King Yan to secretly develop high-strength composite ceramic materials, of course, he would not tell King Yan the purpose of development.
