The most dilapidated place in the entire Ganzhou city is the Ganzhou Road Yamen, the Prefect's Yamen and the Military Yamen, which seem to have become the consensus of Qing court officials if they do not repair the Yamen? This made Liu Quansi very, very helpless, the original official value in it was probably not less than one million, but it made the yamen dilapidated and even a dangerous house?

Later, I heard that the Qing court assessed whether the officials were honest, and this dilapidated yamen also occupied one article, which is called compassion for the people, which means that they are sympathetic to the local people, and they are unwilling to requisition the people and local money and food, but it is shameless that some of these officials abandon the mansion compound but can live in two battalions of troops? I don't know what kind of people this is compassionate?

What made Liu Quansi most depressed was that the renovation of these three yamen caused several soldiers to be injured, and the occupation of Ganzhou did not encounter a battle, and the golden body of the Second Army was actually broken on the renovated yamen, Liu Quansi always felt very aggrieved.

Although the news of the Yuan's visit to Ganzhou was only announced at the division level, some subordinate brigade commanders even knew the news and went to the corps headquarters to inquire, but they were detained by Wang Faren's special reconnaissance team of the Intelligence Department, and for this reason Liu Quansi summoned Xu Renda, commander of the 9th Division, Li Jiang, commander of the 10th Division, Wang Daodun, commander of the 11th Division, Huang Shengzhi, commander of the 12th Division, and officers at or above the rank of lieutenant colonel at the corps headquarters to attend a confidential meeting with all the staff officers.

At the meeting, the brigade commander was suspended from his duties and sent to the Imperial Army Military Academy to study for six months, Wang Faren emphasized the importance of secrecy work, and then everyone's nerves were all tightened, and the big war was imminent, and he was transferred and repatriated to the military academy to study at this time, which meant that the brigade commander's military career was about to come to an extremely disgraceful end.

There is a very significant feature of the empire at this time, that is, all the officers are very young, and everyone is nothing more than the last two years, or the lower one, or even the classmates of the same class, and the implementation is also the mechanism of the capable and the mediocre, so once you make a mistake, it is equivalent to burying your career, you must know that the seniors and subordinates who are like seniors and seniors are absolutely unable to survive the qualifications, which can be described as a step behind, which is really a thousand miles!

After the meeting, Liu Quansi did not dare to get angry with Wang Faren, although Wang Faren almost abolished one of his best brigade commanders, but discipline is discipline in the Chinese Empire, and only the head of state can talk about the situation, and the rest of you are even the deputy chief of the general staff and the commander of the corps.

However, Liu Quansi then took this opportunity to ask Wang Faren about the components of the corps directly under the Command, it can be said that the people who are now qualified to be the commanders of the corps, including the commanders of the five main corps, are also staring at the corps directly under the Command, it is because of this mysterious corps directly under the corps, the formation of the first unit of the first army is the Fifth Infantry Division, and the first infantry division to the fourth infantry division are all occupied by the corps directly under the command, and it is said that this corps adopts the training mode of the Marine Corps. The instructors are all from the Armed Gendarmerie Special Forces and the Marine Corps Weapons Expeditionary Reconnaissance Unit, two units known as the Empire's Double Swords.

There are many rumors about this unit, but this unit is directly under the responsibility of the General Headquarters and the General Staff, and there is no news from the outside world at all.

And if this unit consisted entirely of officers and non-commissioned officers? Liu Quansi's Second Army also has a non-commissioned officer training brigade, but compared to an elite corps that will be formed by all non-commissioned officers in the future, if you can command such a strong force, it may be difficult to leave a name in history!

However, Liu Quansi knew that Lin Haijiang, who was jolting in the carriage at the moment, was also having a headache for this legion directly under the Command, and the main reason for Lin Haijiang's depressed headache was that the entire legion directly under the Command Department could recruit less than 4,000 people because of strict training, and there was less than one brigade. In addition, it is not possible to forcibly transfer veterans and non-commissioned officers of various units to supplement the regiments directly under the command before the war, and even if they are transferred, they may not be able to pass the assessment.

However, the bumpy carriage made Lin Haijiang very nostalgic for the off-road vehicles of later generations, and the construction team under the construction corps was everywhere along the way, tamping the ground, laying roads, assuming bridges, surveying and mapping the terrain and topography, and making basic preparations for laying railways along the way.

Everywhere the convoy passed, the workers stopped working, and watched in awe as the convoy escorted by the armed gendarmerie special forces passed by, knowing that in the empire, these armed gendarmerie special forces wearing pure black military uniforms or camouflage combat uniforms, wearing regimental dragon badges and armbands, have still become those legendary figures who can fly up the wall and take people's heads thousands of miles away.

After the convoy arrived in Ganzhou, Lin Haijiang lived in the palace of the Qing Dynasty for only one day, and ordered to change this place to Ganzhou University Hall, Ganzhou local schoolchildren are enrolled for free, every morning an egg, noon for a meal, and he himself lived in the Ganzhou military compound that was still renovated, and set up a tent in the compound, Lin Haijiang's move immediately won the applause of some local people of insight in Ganzhou, and the people have never seen such an emperor?

As the commander of the second corps of the Ganzhou garrison, Liu Quansi invited Lin Haijiang to have a big meal, the location was in Lin Haijiang's tent, saying that it was a tent, but the surrounding circle was still spliced in the form of alloy steel plate card slots, which was not only safe and strong, but also used heavy ironwood for lightning protection.

Wang Faren, Zhang Yunji, and Xu Wenshu became the companions, and the five of them were very cruel to the two Nan'an ducks, Zhang Yunji ate the most brilliantly, and introduced them while licking his fingers: "The production history of this Nan'an duck can be described as long, with beautiful appearance, crispy skin, crispy bones, meat, moderate saltiness, lean meat, fragrant meat, fat meat is not greasy, etc., and the flavor is unique!" Eat a bite and the aftertaste will be endless! ”

Unconsciously, three of the four duck thighs were eaten by him, which made Wang Faren stare at him with his eyes, but Zhang Yunji pretended to be unaware and ate it correctly!

Xu Wenshu, Liu Quansi, and Wang Faren couldn't wait to join forces to throw this presumptuous guy out, Lin Haijiang took a duck wing and looked at the expressions of several people and smiled without saying a word.

More than ninety percent of the current ruling layer of the Chinese Empire are young people, although the passionate young people lack experience, but they have an incomparable enthusiasm, what Lin Haijiang needs is this enthusiasm, of course, he will not treat his subordinates badly, but in terms of preventing corruption, Lin Haijiang is still vigilant all the time, Zhang Yunji directly shows that I am a real villain who is here for money, and Hu Weimin is also easy to do if he is dedicated to reflecting his own value, Lin Haijiang is afraid of hypocrites, Lin Haijiang, who keeps saying that he is for the country and the people, has seen too much in private.

It can be said that the corruption of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began from the top, and the speed of contagion is very alarming, which is also a common problem of the peasant regime that lacks political foresight and is a small peace and well-being, Lin Haijiang was prepared to be strict and unremitting at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, instilling a concept in almost all high-ranking military and political officials, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!

The next day, the first thing Lin Haijiang did was to rush to Ganzhou Gao Qi, commander of the First Mountain Infantry Corps, Zhang Zheng, commander of the First Corps, Xu Dawei, commander of the Third Corps, Zheng Zhipeng, commander of the Fourth Corps, and others to prepare to hold a pre-war mobilization meeting in Ganzhou.

Xu Wenshu, commander of the 1st Marine Corps, attended the high-level meeting as a representative of the Marine Corps and also as the commander of the General Strategic Reserve, and Zhang Yunji, commander of the 9th Division of the Second Army Corps, Xu Renda, commander of the 10th Division, Li Jiang, commander of the 10th Division, Wang Daodun, commander of the 11th Division, and Huang Shengzhi, commander of the 12th Division, could only attend the meeting as observers.

At the meeting, Lin Haijiang first announced that the two brigades of the artillery corps directly under the General Headquarters, namely the First Field Artillery Brigade and the Heavy Artillery Brigade, would be strengthened to the Second Army Corps and the Third Army Corps respectively, and that the corps directly under the General Headquarters would make strategic arrangements for moving forward.

This arrangement suddenly made Liu Quansi and Xu Dawei happy, and the rest of them all looked at the two with contempt, Gao Qi even whispered something to Zheng Zhipeng beside him, as if he wanted to beat Liu Quansi's autumn wind, Zheng Zhipeng, as the youngest and least senior of the five main army leaders, naturally didn't dare to say much, so he could only nod his head awkwardly.

Lin Haijiang looked at all the generals attending the meeting and said: "I will not give you any orders today, because the combat orders are absolutely and strictly confidential, and after the meeting, each army corps will send confidential secretaries to the General Staff Secret Bureau to collect them, and there is a designated opening date on it, and then all troops can implement it according to the established strategic guidelines!" ”

Gao Qi, who was a veteran of the Emperor [***] side, hesitated slightly and said: "Führer, if you are in such a hurry, I am afraid it will be difficult to instill the combat spirit and specific tactical instructions of the General Staff at the corps level!" ”

Zhang Zheng, who had the same concerns, echoed the voice, because most of their division commanders and brigade commanders only had rich experience in exercises and sand table operations, and they had never heard of any soldiers claiming to be heroes of sand table simulation battles! Therefore, they are concerned about whether their subordinates can understand the core of the plan for the overall strategic considerations formulated by the General Staff!

As a senior commander, he knows very well that in the implementation of a large-scale campaign, many times he will sacrifice local interests in exchange for overall victory, which is a very common way in tactical and campaign combined command, and it is also the most effective way, but if the troops used as bait do not grasp the great significance at the strategic level and consider the problem purely from the perspective of their own troops, it will pose a serious threat to the overall campaign.

Lin Haijiang understood what Gao Qi and the others meant, so he nodded and said: "You corps commanders can relax at this point, in order to train the troops, the plan of the General Staff is only at the strategic level, and the specific implementation of the campaign is handed over to your corps and division-level command institutions to complete, I am now very much looking forward to the empire's 200,000 troops crisscrossing the two rivers and two lakes, fighting a brand-new Chinese empire, destroying all enemies who dare to stand in front of us, and completely crushing them!" Let them fear, let them cry! ”

Lin Haijiang paused, and said loudly: "This is the battle of the empire, as the first step in the strategy of unifying China, first recover the two rivers and two lakes region, this battle is only allowed to succeed and not to fail, all the participating departments must ensure the determination to succeed and become benevolent, there is no invincible, there is no enemy without me!" ”

All the officers present stood up at the same time and said loudly: "For the country and the people!" Revive China! Long live the Führer! Long live the Empire! ”

Lin Haijiang nodded with satisfaction and said: "I have one more point to add, that is, please use your brains more when fighting, how to destroy a large number of enemies, effectively reduce casualties, don't care about shells and consumables, and cherish the lives of soldiers, they are not just a number or code for us, they are living lives, and their families are still looking forward to their triumph!" It's not just a request, it's a request! The unit with the smallest casualties and the greatest results will be awarded the regimental dragon banner and the honorary title of tiger ben, which will be archived by the Ministry of Military Affairs for a thousand years! ”

"Yes! Follow the instructions of the Führer! "There was another clatter of leather boots!

And the eyes of the soldiers standing on guard in the auditorium were full of admiration for Lin Haijiang, although everyone knew that fighting a war would kill people, but it was extremely incredible for ordinary soldiers that the dignified head of the empire could raise this point at such a high-level strategic meeting.

Wang Faren, who was standing next to the confidential record secretary, patted the confidential secretary on the shoulder and said: "Don't encrypt this speech, the whole army will spread it!" ”

When the confidential secretary saw that it was the minister of the Ministry of Intelligence who spoke, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, Wang Faren was a little dissatisfied with the panicked appearance of the confidential secretary, and saw that his military uniform was a little sloppy, so he frowned and said: "The appearance of the soldier is very important, the Führer attaches the most importance to the demeanor and appearance of the soldier, and our Intelligence Department works by the Führer's side, and the appearance of the soldier must not be sloppy!" ”

Wang Faren said as he asked the confidential secretary to sort out his military uniform, but the chest pocket of the confidential secretary seemed to be very bulging, Wang Faren pressed it a few times, and it felt a little soft? So he said strangely: "How do you train your pectoral muscles?" ”

The confidential secretary said with a flushed face and shyness: "Minister of Reports, I am a female soldier!" ”

"Huh?" Only then did Wang Faren notice that this confidential secretary with a very middle surname actually had ears and eyes? Wang Faren is so angry in his heart! Because the confidential secretary did not wear the favorite boat-shaped hat of female soldiers, but wore a large-brimmed hat, and did not wear a short jacket with a suit collar and a step skirt for female soldiers, but wore a spring and autumn short jacket that is newly distributed for male and female officers.

Wang Faren had no choice but to whisper to the confidential secretary: "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Li Sifei!" The confidential secretary obviously also felt the gloating gaze around him, and looked very embarrassed.

Xu Renda, commander of the 9th Division under the 2nd Army Corps, Li Jiang, commander of the 10th Division, Wang Daodun, commander of the 11th Division, and Huang Shengzhi, commander of the 12th Division, were sitting next to them, and they listened to all the conversations just now, but Wang Faren's murderous reputation was outside, so they could only hold back their breath, they had heard the regiment commander tell this dirty joke before, and it was said that it was told by the Führer himself back then, and today I was fortunate enough to see the live-action version? And the actor is still known as the iron-faced and selfless Minister of Intelligence Wang Faren, which makes them have an urge to gossip to the death.

Wang Faren glared at the four people and said, "If you dare to say it, I will strip you all naked and fall on the tree, and see who loses the big man when I see it!" Do you understand? ”

Xu Renda looked at Li Jiang and said to Wang Faren with a straight face: "Minister Report, you are shooting me, I will say it too!" ”

Wang Faren was immediately angry, pulled his face and said sternly: "But don't add oil and vinegar, understand?" Xu Renda smiled and nodded!

Wang Faren turned to Li Sifei and whispered: "You don't have to be afraid, I will be responsible!" Then he turned around and left the venue in great frustration.

And Lin Haijiang also noticed the abnormal movement in the audience? After the meeting, Lin Haijiang also learned that I was a female soldier The real-life version of the legend, he could only sympathize with Wang Faren Lin Haijiang, and Lin Haijiang was also helpless for his subordinates who did not leave morality.

It can be said that after the meeting, Wang Faren has become a core topic outside of the head of state, and Lin Haijiang believes that this topic will continue for at least a while, and may even accompany Wang Faren for life!

After two weeks of comprehensive deployment after the meeting, until April 15, 1861, after the troops of the 12 supplementary brigades and the 1st and 2nd brigades of the Marine Corps arrived at the Ganzhou front, Lin Haijiang, who was on the front line, conveyed the order to implement the liberation plan to the five corps at the same time through the newly laid telegraph line.

The five main corps that have already begun to complete preparations for the strategic campaign and have entered the stage of implementing the strategic campaign have begun to implement the strategic principles and campaign objectives of their corps to the division and brigade levels, and each corps is like a behemoth, and once the war machine is activated, it is only the blood of the enemy that extinguishes its scorching flames!

The unified coordination and command of the 200,000 troops to carry out the offensive of 19 supporting points has already captured 178 county towns, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge to the General Staff of the Chinese Empire and the command organization at the corps level.

April 16, 1861 can be said to be a very dull day in the history of the world, but with the unification of the Chinese Empire kicked off, this day was given a new historical significance!
