Not to mention that Yang Qilong, the third prince of Zhu who was hidden and devoted to developing his strength, suffered an unwarranted disaster, but in Fuzhou City, thousands of miles away, Geng Jingzhong and his subordinates were very happy.

"Hahaha, well done! Ah Hou, you are a great contributor here, you have a unique vision and boldly use a few little-known people, but I didn't expect that it is still a real talent, and the response and decision are first-class, reward, to be rewarded! Geng Jingzhong's laughter continued to sound in the hall, the current situation, the Qing court and Wu Sangui have entered a stalemate stage, the two sides have not made any major moves for nearly two months, but the local small battles have not stopped, and both sides seem to continue to prepare for the upcoming first decisive battle.

Three million taels of silver is not a small amount, and robbing these pieces of silver can not only cause a lot of chaos to the Qing court, but also affect the morale of the army when it reaches the battlefield. At the same time, it weakened some of the power of the Qing court, but it could make the Qing court fight with Wu Sangui more thoroughly, which was also beneficial to Fujian. Since the Qing court regarded Wu Sangui as its biggest opponent, as long as Wu Sangui was eliminated, Fujian would not have to worry about it, and it would not be possible to form a three-legged situation, and it would not take much effort to subdue Geng Jingzhong's small force, and at worst, it would be possible to drive him out of Fujian and run to an overseas island.

"Yes, Minister Geng, three million taels is really hurtful for the Qing court, and it is still at this juncture, if that Kangxi knows, then he doesn't hate you to death." Fortunately, they don't know who did it, maybe they're blind at this time! Yao Qisheng took a sip of his favorite kung fu tea and shook his head and said.

Geng Hou has really practiced over the years, and he was just a scholar. It's just to accompany Geng Jingzhong. But after following Geng Jingzhong for less than half a year, he was sent to the capital. In the extraordinary environment and pressure to exercise a body of skills, the word sophisticated is no longer enough to describe him, at this time although he heard praise, but has always maintained the usual appearance, ancient and modern faces, no expression at all. "This is just something that should be done in the subordinates, the three brothers of the Hao family have very calm personalities, especially the third brother of the Hao family is my right-hand man in the capital. was also the captain of the old man's former army scout team, and he was chosen to be in charge of the affairs of the capital. ”

"Hehe, although the three brothers are powerful, but you also brought them out, it was not bad to let them find out some news, but it is not good to be in charge of affairs alone, or you have brought it in the past few years! By my order, all operational personnel were rewarded with a first-class reward and their ranks were upgraded by one level. And the intelligence officer who found out the news in advance was rewarded with 500 silver dollars. As for Ah Hou's merits, remember first, "Geng Jingzhong is very familiar with how to reward meritorious personnel." In this regard, Li Guangdi and others have long discussed with himself and formulated a set of mature reward schemes, but for those who have made heavy contributions, it is normal to add a level of reward and an additional reward of some silver.

"That's right, Minister Geng. Did the secret documents of the stolen silver say where they were hidden? Three million taels is not a small amount, and the goal is not small, don't be busy and be snatched back in one go! Although we trust them to get things done, we are really worried! Li Guangdi listened for a while, but still asked out loud.

"The chief of staff can rest assured, Hao Laosan should have considered this matter a long time ago. As for the letter, it is not stated, but I guess they must have found a suitable place, otherwise they would not have done it in such a short time. Geng Hou still knows something about his old subordinates, and he generally won't start without a certain degree of certainty.

"That's good!" The others also nodded when they heard this, this action can be described as very happy, compared to the horsetail soldiers fighting directly on the battlefield, and the reward that Geng Jingzhong added just now is also deserved.

This matter has been discussed here, and the follow-up progress is expected to be delivered again in a few days by the capital, and then it will be known where the silver is hidden, and as for the reaction of the Qing court, the letter will also be written. "Okay, let's wait for the latest news from the capital, it's useless for us to guess here. I have summoned you today because there is another major event, Wu Sangui has sent troops into Jiangxi, and has now arrived and taken Yongxin County, and the next step is to prepare to attack Ji'an Mansion. They had a good calculation, and the main force of the 6,000 Qing army of the Qing army in Ji'an Prefecture was wiped out by our cavalry division, and they did not come out of the city. And we haven't made any moves in Ji'an in the past two months, hum! They saw the right time to pick peaches! ”

Geng Jingzhong snorted coldly, paused for a moment, looked at everyone, and then said again: "As for whether Wu Sangui has attacked other state capitals in northern Jiangxi, there is no news yet, but in terms of the situation in front of you, everyone is discussing how to deal with it?" ”

Li Guangdi and Geng Hou had obtained the information one step earlier, so they had thought about it in their minds before. "Governor Dadu, my subordinates think that at this time, we should take Ji'an Mansion directly before Wu Jun, Ji'an Mansion is located in the middle of Jiangxi, if Ji'an Mansion falls into the hands of Wu Sangui, then we will go back and take Fuzhou Mansion and Nanchang Mansion, and the territory will be as if it has been cut in half, which is extremely unfavorable to our future development." After everyone was familiar with the content and thought slightly, Li Guangdi immediately said his thoughts.

The generals in the lobby are not stupid, especially the veteran general Zeng Yang, who previously took several Jiangxi prefectures and sent troops at the same time, although he was not used to take command, but as one of the most senior generals of the Marine Army, he was indispensable in every meeting, and he could put forward very constructive suggestions every time. "What the chief of the general staff said is right, from the topography point of view, this Ji'an belongs to the middle section of the Luoxiao Mountains, choking the throat passage of Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. Wu Sangui wants to take Ji'an Mansion, but he may not have the idea of annexing our Mawei Army. Now that the whole army has been resting for nearly three months, and the recruits have almost been trained, it's time to continue the offensive and take Ji'an Province! ”

"The Metropolitan Governor, the old general has a point. We are not short of troops now, not to mention that our 30,000 soldiers in Fujian already have some appearance, even the 40,000 new troops in Guangdong can also be transferred. It's not okay to fight with these recruits, but it's just for garrisoning places, so there's no problem at all. Moreover, these recruits can be transferred to the garrison place, which can liberate the veterans of the Mawei Army and train them when they come. After all, it doesn't delay their training locally. ”

At the beginning of March, Fujian conscripted troops, and the children of the families of the 30,000 veterans of the Mawei Army in the Central Plains of the New Army accounted for eight layers. More than two months have passed, and their progress has surprised the top brass of the Mawei Army. Although they are still far from the standard of regular soldiers of the Mawei Army, they are not much worse than the average Qing army.

After the Fujian side recruited 30,000 new troops, the generals at the Mawei Army Military Conference felt that the troops were still insufficient, so they recruited 30,000 people from the Guangdong side. So far, the more than 40,000 sergeants in Guangdong can get their hands on 10,000 veterans originally selected from the army of King Pingnan, and the 30,000 recruits who have been trained for less than three months are really far behind the regular standards of the Mawei Army. Come to think of it, when the Mawei Army recruited soldiers for the first time, those recruits were also trained for eight or nine months to satisfy Geng Jingzhong, and now the same is true in Guangdong.

The reason why these 30,000 people were recruited in Guangdong and did not continue in Fujian was mainly because Geng Jingzhong did not want all the troops to be Fujianese, which was also extremely unfavorable to future development. Guangdong Xinfu, after the initial pacification and a series of buying people's hearts, although the appeal of Geng Jingzhong and the Mawei Army is not strong, but for the sake of silver, the applicants are still quite enthusiastic. The treatment standard of the Mawei Army is really not covered, and the food standard alone has attracted a large number of sons and daughters of poor families. In this era, even ordinary small landlords who can eat meat every day cannot reach it, let alone landless tenant farmers. Therefore, the standard of 30,000 people was quickly filled, and they immediately put themselves into intense training.

"Fujian's 30,000 new troops are okay, well, in the last battle, all the troops have been damaged, select a group of recruits and transfer a group of some to supplement in the past, and the others are organized into the fourth, fifth, and sixth divisions of the Marine Army, and the fourth and fifth divisions will be transferred to take over the five prefectures and one state of Jiangxi that have been taken, and the sixth division will stay in Fujian, and all the officers and men of the first and second divisions of the Mawei Army will gather in the middle, and we will directly take the whole territory of Jiangxi in one fell swoop this time!"

"Yes!" The generals replied in unison. In particular, the brigade commanders and battalion commanders of the former first and second divisions below were excited, and then they were about to announce the appointment of the commanders of the three divisions and many brigade commanders, and they still had a great chance, of course, even the few brigade commanders who were still on the front line also had a great chance, but after all, they also had a chance to come out.

The promotion in the Mawei Army has always adhered to a principle and promoted by virtue of military exploits. All the generals present here have military exploits, and even the generals who are still on the front line are not necessarily more than the few here, and these are all recorded in the merit book. In addition, the personal ability and good at the personal abilities of these generals in ordinary times, after comprehensive consideration, the General Staff will give a reasonable list to Geng Jingzhong for review, and after the review is passed, these generals can also take office.

In fact, the generals have been waiting for this day for a long time, since the recruitment task was issued, they have been more strict with themselves than before, looking forward to this day, and they also know that this day is not far away. There are 30,000 recruits in Fujian and 30,000 in Guangdong, which requires the promotion of a lot of middle-level and high-level officers, and their chances are very great! (To be continued......)
