Chapter 397: Expansion of the Army

"Hmm."

Qin Duan replied softly, didn't say anything for a long time, and only exhaled for a long time, "Intensify your familiarity with the terrain of the neighboring provinces in Longdong, and I will arrange for the intelligence department to cooperate with you." Qin Dui's voice also deepened.

"I won't hide it from you, the current situation is complicated, especially the two counties in the north of the empire and the Guanxi County in the west can be said to be precarious, and now the Kamans are also taking advantage of the fire to rob, and now they have taken Jiayu Pass, Taixuan Mansion is also in danger, the war in the Principality of Gerlok is raging, the Poole Kingdom and the Sislo Empire are also ready to move behind the scenes, our situation is not good, the Kaman people control Jiayu Pass is a great threat to us, so it is difficult for us to deal with it." Qin Duan said slowly with his hands behind his back.

"What are you going to do, my lord? Now Lord Zhuge has led the main force to Meishan County and is advancing northward, it seems that he is going to fight a tough battle with the Kamans. ”

Speaking of fighting, Shangguan Yonglun and Chen Deming's eyes lit up, but the situation that Qin Du said also made them feel the severity of the form.

"Well, it's too early to say whether the Kamans want to fight this battle with us, and it's still unclear whether this Taixuan Mansion is a burden or a fat meat for us now." Qin Duan shook his head, an unpredictable glint in his eyes.

beckoned Mu Ziqi and the director of the Longdong County War Readiness Bureau to come over, and Qin Duan said again: "Ziqi, how is the combat readiness work of your mansion doing?" ”

"Back to my lord, there are more than 35,000 reserve sergeants in Longdong County, and basic military training is conducted every three months in peacetime, and once a month in agricultural slack. In addition, our prefecture's war readiness warehouse has enough weapons and a certain amount of food, but due to limited finances, there are less than 200 war horses. "Seeing that Qin Dui asked the heads of other administrative departments to leave. Leaving only the Director of War Preparedness, Mu Ziqi knew that Qin Duan would definitely ask this question.

"Hmm, how's your training going?" Qin Duan asked again, and his eyes also looked at the Director of War Preparedness who came with him.

"Back to my lord, our reserve sergeants are trained for three days at a time, except for the basic queues, marching camps, and weapons use training. Some training was also carried out, such as physical elements. The Director of War Readiness hurriedly replied.

"How high is their combat effectiveness compared to your garrison divisions?" Qin Duan didn't stop there, and asked, his eyes sweeping over the faces of several people.

This sentence immediately caused several people to look at each other, how can the combat effectiveness of this reservist be compared with the regular soldiers of the garrison, Qin Duan's words really made it difficult for several people to answer for a while.

With a dry cough, it was Shangguan Yonglun who broke the cold, "My lord, the reservists on our side are far the same as in other places. It can only be said that after some basic military training, you said that it is not easy to compare with the combat effectiveness of our garrison divisions. ”

Qin Duan didn't make a sound, he also knew that his question was a bit abrupt, how could he ask a reserve soldier to compare with a regular soldier? He also subconsciously felt that the power in his hands seemed a little too thin now, not to mention that he had to use troops outward, and now he was a little powerless to deal with the threat of the Kaman people in Taixuan, but fortunately, he categorically asked Song Tianxiong to go back and form the Guards Division. With this half a year, at least it is much stronger. Qin Duan even regretted a little why Song Tianxiong had built three wings in the first place, hoping that Song Tianxiong could take it upon himself to expand it into a complete division.

After sinking for a long time, Qin Duan opened his mouth and said: "From now on, you will immediately screen the existing reservists, select 10,000 people first, and concentrate on intensive training. The training intensity training content shall be carried out in accordance with the standards of the garrison division. Qin Du stared at the Director of War Preparedness.

The Director of War Preparedness immediately turned his gaze to the city guard who was standing aside, although Mu Ziqi had some ideas, he knew that Qin Duan must have felt something, and his tone was categorical, obviously there was no room for negotiation. Hurriedly nodded yes.

"Ziqi, in terms of funding, you should first implement it according to the standards of the garrison force, I know that you are not rich here, but now is an extraordinary period, don't talk about anything else. In addition, Shangguan Yonglun and Chen Deming will go back and discuss withdrawing some backbone forces from your regiment and letting them take up positions among the 10,000 people, and form them according to the structure of the two wings. ”

Qin Dui said carefully, he has been thinking about the nature of the 10,000-person troops he asked them to form, count them as garrison troops, I haven't heard that only two wings are formed, they are counted as reservists, and they are implemented according to the standards of the garrison force, so he had to be vague and confused, as for the appointment of candidates above the rank of wing commander, they must be reviewed by their own military staff and reviewed by the internal affairs department before they can take effect, and they must also follow it.

"My lord, what are the names of these two wings?" Shangguan Yonglun asked uninterestingly.

"Well, this one, even if it's a reinforced wing for your Northwest Second Army Corps." Qin Duan scratched his head and said.

Strengthen the wings? I didn't hear that the Second Army Corps would also be equipped with a reinforced wing, our lord would really be ingenious, Shangguan Yonglun and Chen Deming glanced at each other and stopped making a sound.

After Deng Dashan received the urgent order sent by Zhuge Fang, he hurriedly ordered the troops to postpone their advance, which was only a few hours away to be stationed in Taixuanfu City, and Taixuanfu City Guard Fielding had already warmly invited and sent logistics personnel to send a large number of supplies, and also sent a special person to guide his division, but Lord Zhuge ordered him to be stationed on the spot, not to be stationed in the city, waiting for orders, which made him puzzled, the military situation was like fire, Lord Ling should know that the army of the Kaman people advancing west was not far from Taixuanfu City.

However, the people in Taixuanfu City do not know the inside story of these high-level people, they only know that Jiayuguan in the north has fallen, which is a bolt from the blue for the people who have lived here for generations, and they never thought that Jiayuguan, which is like an iron wall, will also fall, which is simply difficult for them to accept, but the reality is already here, and the army of aliens who are about to go south makes them unable to sleep at night, and wealthy families have packed up and began to leave Taixuanfu City, after all, even Jiayuguan can be broken, What is this Taixuan Mansion?

But for people who have lived here for generations and already have a certain industry, it is easy to say this sentence, but how painful and difficult it is to implement it! What about the house? What about the land? What about shops? How do you live without this? Wandering and helpless, desolate and confused, this mood is probably the mood of all the residents in Taixuanfu City, but this qiē suddenly became bright because of the arrival of the Northwest Army.
