Chapter 133: Yuxian's decision
After Pang Wei, Xiang Zilong, and Tang Jian glanced at each other, they all sat down, Wang Jundao stood up, pointed to the hanging military map, and said: "This time to attack Taiyuan, the army will be divided into eastern, central, and western routes to the south.
The First Army served as the East Road Army, starting from Hunyuan County, Datong Prefecture, passing through Lingqiu County, capturing Pingxing Pass, extending the Hutuo River to the south, occupying Fanzhi County, and then quickly moving south to Wutai County and Dingxiang County, arriving in Xinzhou.
The second army served as the middle of the army, starting from Shanyin County, divided into two routes, one way to capture Yanmen Pass, replacing the state, and then extended the Hutuo River to the south, attacking Yuanping County, the other road to the west, after occupying Shuozhou, went south to take Ningwu County, and then arrived at Yuanping County, after the main force of the Second Army gathered, quickly went south, and the first army was divided into Xinzhou.
The West Road Army has the longest distance and has experienced the most areas, mostly mountains, jungles, as well as rivers and canyons, and the Sixth Army is the Mountain and Jungle Army, which is the most suitable for this heavy task, so I decided to take the Sixth Army Corps as the West Road Army, starting from Shanyin County, with the Second Army Corps, capture Shuozhou, and then divide a brigade to the west to capture Biguan County, and then quickly go south to Wuzhai County, the main force of the Third Army Corps went directly south from Shuozhou, captured Shenchi County and took Wuzhai County directly, and then divided the troops to attack Lan County, Lan County, Jingle County, Loufan County, Linxian County, Fangshan County, and finally captured Gujiao County and arrived west of Taiyuan.
The task of the Western Route Army is the heaviest, and the journey is the farthest, so it is necessary to allocate the troops appropriately, I have only one requirement in this regard, if you can use a battalion to capture a town, do not use a regiment, if you can use a regiment, do not use a brigade, and if you can use a brigade to capture, do not use a division, I only need one result, that is, within ten days, the main force of the Sixth Army must rush to the west of Taiyuan.
The same is true for the Eastern Route Army and the Middle Route Army, within ten days, the main force of the First Army must occupy Shouyang County and Yu County to the east of Taiyuan and reach the east of Taiyuan, and the main force of the Second Army must occupy Yangqu County north of Taiyuan and reach the north of Taiyuan. ”
Yang Poyu, Xu Jian, and Tang Jian all stood up in unison and said in unison, "Yes, commander." ”
Wang Jundao pressed his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down first, Wang Jundao continued: "After conquering each county seat, the army will take over the power of the political axe, implement a military control system for the county, eliminate some local corrupt officials and people with a very bad reputation among the people, and promote and select some people with both ability and political integrity to temporarily deal with the government affairs in the county.
Each county town depends on the situation, leaving a company or so of troops to garrison, establishing a military management office, incorporating the original county soldiers, dispatches, and government service, eliminating those who are old and weak, soldiers, and bad people, appointing those who love the people and protect the people, have a reputation and ability, unite those neutral people, and at the same time recruit a part of the elite to enlist, and develop the army of each county town to about 500 to 1,000 people, which is almost a veteran of the Dragon and Tiger Army with three to five new soldiers, remember, to keep improving.
After settling down in the county seat, send troops from the county seat as soon as possible, based on the squad, the military regiment of the townships and towns below the county should be established, the members of the martial arts regiment must be strictly controlled, and only those who meet the selection conditions can join, and they cannot go through the back door and pull relations, and the military and military departments of the military hall will soon send instructors of the martial arts regiment to coach the military and train the military regiment, and the number of martial arts regiments in each township depends on the situation, and it is appropriate for 50 to 150 people, which is equivalent to every veteran of the Dragon and Tiger Army sent to form the martial regiment as the team leader or squad leader.
After the military regiment system was thoroughly established, and the officials of the new policy were basically familiar with the situation in the county seat, the new policy could be implemented in all towns and villages with the county seat as the center, and those who resisted the new policy were dealt with according to law. ”
Yang Poyu, Xu Jian, and Tang Jian suddenly had a clear mind, they were still worried about how to rule the county after capturing the county, and now Wang Jundao's words undoubtedly gave them the most correct solution, and the three of them responded in unison: "Yes, commander." ”
Wang Jundao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and prepare immediately, rest tonight, and the army will set off at seven o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
The three of them said loudly: "Order! ”
……
In the Taiyuan Governor's Mansion, Yuxian had gathered all the high-level officials of the Jin Army and the high-level administrative officials of Shanxi, as if they were holding an emergency meeting.
After a whole day of thinking and weighing the pros and cons, and thinking clearly about various solutions, Yuxian has made a decision.
Now such a high-level civil and military official has been summoned to announce his decision.
Yuxian said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now the Dragon and Tiger Army is attacking Shanxi, menacing and murderous, their purpose is very simple, that is, to occupy Shanxi, that is, to capture all of us to Yanjing, to become his prisoners, we can't sit still, so I decided to adjust the Jin army in Dingding, Yuncheng, Zezhou and other places to return to Taiyuan." ”
Although Lu Changyi knew that looking back at Taiyuan might not be able to hold on, he also had the idea of surrendering earlier in his heart, but since Yuxian had already made a decision, he would only swear to follow him, so he said directly: "Is there an egg under the nest?" The Dragon and Tiger Army is surging like a flood, Shanxi has reached the time of life and death, I am willing to obey the orders of the adults, lead the Jin army brothers, defend Taiyuan, and live and die with Taiyuan. ”
Most of the generals present were confidants trained by Yuxian himself, and they were deeply favored by Yuxian, and they were willing to follow Yuxian to the death, and in such a situation, they expressed their loyalty to him.
As for those civil officials, they were taken by such a momentum, although most of them had other ideas in their hearts, but they were also willing to live and die with Taiyuan on their lips, and the heroes didn't suffer immediate losses, right? Anyway, it is not their business to go to the battlefield at that time, as long as they hide well at home, there is no worry about their surname, if the Jin army is defeated, they will naturally surrender to the Dragon and Tiger Army, for those who surrender, they are also Chinese, the Dragon and Tiger Army will not kill them no matter how bad, it is no problem to be a rich man, if the Jin army wins, then they will naturally rise with it, and they will still be high-ranking officials in Shanxi, so it doesn't matter if they show loyalty on their mouths, even Li Tingxiao, the political envoy of Shanxi, also has such thoughts.
Yuxian looked at everyone expressionlessly, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.
After the meeting ended, Yuxian left Lu Changyi, the chief soldier of Taiyuan, and asked him: "Changyi, how many years have you been with me?" ”
Such an abrupt question, Lu Changyi felt a little inexplicable, although he didn't know why Yuxian asked this, but he answered truthfully: "I have been following adults for fifteen years, if there is no adult, there is no me Lu Changyi today." ”
Yuxian couldn't remember when he first saw Lu Changyi, he sighed for a long time, and said: "It's been fifteen years, I remember that you were still a hot-blooded young man in your twenties in fifteen years, and after fifteen years, you are also a middle-aged man over forty." ”
After a pause, Yuxian sighed again and said: "Fifteen years can change a lot of things, the First Sino-Japanese War, the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the reform of the law, the Gengzi National Rebellion, the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the rise of the Tiger Army in Shandong, the rise of the Dragon Wu Army in Tianjin, the Dragon and Tiger Army in Yanjing, the defeat of the Dragon and Tiger Army by the Foreign soldiers, the recovery of Tianjin by the Dragon and Tiger Army, the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and the establishment of the Chinese Imperial Political Axe, does this indicate that China is about to rise?" ”
Lu Changyi didn't know how to answer, in fact, he couldn't answer, because he couldn't figure out what Yuxian was thinking, and just when he hesitated, he suddenly heard Yuxian instruct again: "Changyi, I'll give you a task, you send people to keep an eye on all the civil and military officials who are attending the meeting today, don't let them spread rumors, and don't let them escape quietly." ”
Lu Changyi thought that Yuxian was afraid that these people would defect to the Dragon and Tiger Army, so he nodded unswervingly: "Don't worry, my lord, if anyone dares to surrender the mutiny, I will definitely not severely punish them." ”
Yuxian shook his head and said, "No need to do this, just take care of them, if there are really people like that, control them for the time being, don't hurt them." ”
Lu Changyi didn't know what Yuxian meant by doing this, but he didn't ask much, just nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
Yuxian nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." ”
Lu Changyi said: "Yes." ”
