The first chair on the right was empty, and everyone knew that it belonged to the position of the eldest young master Xu Wenzhe, who could not get out because of the organization of the uprising in the Beiyuan and Yanyun regions, so he did not arrive. His next head is an old man in Tsing Yi, with a thin face, a goatee, triangular eyes, and his appearance is not in the eyes of the people, but no one dares to underestimate him, he is the Taiping Sect's military envoy Bo Jinchen, and the great master You Daofang has been close friends for decades, and the success of the Kansai region is the most direct relationship with his planning and arrangement.

His head is a man with a face, a righteous face, bright eyes, and extraordinary spirit, he is Feng Yunkai, the envoy responsible for organizing personnel in the Taiping Sect, and also the right-hand man of the great master You Daofang; Next to him was Tang Guotai, the Taiping Sect's envoy in charge of external liaison and propaganda and agitation, a shrewd man in his thirties.

There are still six or seven people in these people's hands, but they are all dressed in military uniforms, all of them are now in charge of the army commanders of the five prefectures in Guanxi County, and there is a special guest, who looks like a Caucasian, but seeing that he talks very fluently with several Taiping Sect officers around him, he is Ed, the special envoy of the Kaman Empire who is responsible for liaison and coordination in the Taiping Sect.

"Everyone, please be quiet, this meeting is the most important meeting of the Holy Sect since the public raising of the flag, I hope you can cherish this opportunity and lay a good foundation for our next plan, now I invite the Black Sect Envoy to introduce the situation to you." Presiding over the meeting was Feng Yunkai, the teaching envoy in charge of propaganda.

"Up to now, the Holy Sect Army has taken control of the five prefectures of the six prefectures in Guanxi, except for the Lujiang River, especially the entire territory of Hanzhong Prefecture and Xikang Prefecture, which have gradually returned to normal, and the common people have been relatively calm, and even many people have expressed their welcome."

"Most of the two places in Jincheng Mansion and Bashan Mansion are also controlled by our Holy Sect, and only a few remote areas have no energy to take care of them; Except for the Partridge Pass, the Guanxi Prefecture has also been under my control of the Sect, and the overall shape is very good. In accordance with the orders of the Sect Master, except for a few officials and nobles who had been hostile to and endangered the development of the Holy Religion for a long time, we tried not to touch their interests for the time being. ”

"Of course, there were also many nobles and merchants who had already fled before the Holy Sect took possession, leaving behind a large amount of ownerless possessions and land, according to the Grandmaster's opinion. The ownerless property will be taken into the possession of the Holy Church, and the ownerless land will be registered and distributed to the parishioners who support the development of the Holy Religion according to the situation. ”

"In addition, according to the Grandmaster's opinion, all localities have also begun to require local landowners to reduce their land rent in accordance with our regulations, especially the land rented by the parishioners, otherwise we have the right to confiscate their land. This has already had a very good effect, and many people have already asked to join our holy religion in various places, and the momentum is very strong, which is very helpful for us to expand the development of the holy religion. ”

"Of course, there are still many people who are in a wait-and-see mode. As long as we can persist in withstanding the attack of the imperial army and try to protect the Kansai territory, I believe that as time goes by, more and more people will join our holy religion, and our foundation will become stronger and stronger. ”

After a pause, the masked man said again: "Now let me introduce the shape we are in, especially the shape of the surrounding shì." The 3rd, 4th, and 5th Divisions of the Fourth Army of the Imperial Army have completed their assembly, and they have set out from Tianshui Mansion City and marched in two directions towards the area controlled by our Holy Sect. However, there is no information on its follow-up troops. Their troops were moving slowly, presumably waiting for reinforcements to arrive and converge. Its general direction is all the way to the south of Jincheng Province, and it is estimated that it is composed of the 4th and 5th Divisions of the 4th Army Corps and the 2nd Division that has retreated to the territory of Wuhu; The other is mainly composed of the 3rd Division, and there are also two wings of the Tianshui Garrison Division, which are now moving along the main road in the direction of Longdong Prefecture, and it is estimated that the target is Guanxi Prefecture. ”

In addition, according to intelligence, the military and political festivals in the northwest have made Qin Duan not see him for many days. It is suspected that he has left the capital Tokugawa and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

The masked man's words were very objective and did not carry any emotion, but the introduction of the development of the form at the beginning aroused the irrepressible excitement and applause of many people in the hall, especially those officers, who exchanged heads and ears. It wasn't until Tao Bang, the teacher in charge of discipline, glanced around with a cold eye that his voice gradually faded away, but they still exchanged joyful glances with each other. It wasn't until the introduction of the change in military form later that several officers calmed down and began to think about how to deal with the upcoming battle.

"The current situation is roughly like this, and I will ask Envoy Bo to arrange the military situation." Seeing that the masked man returned to his seat silently, Feng Yunkai, who presided over the meeting, arranged according to the meeting procedure.

"The envoy of the Black Sect has already made a general introduction to the information on all aspects of the situation, and paid tribute to the military deployment, I think we need to come down and make it after careful study and consultation, and the shape is changing at any time, the so-called impermanence of the army, we also need to make adjustments at any time."

At this time, Bo Jinchen's face became gloomy, "But I want to explain one thing here, that is, there is now a kind of absurd complacency among our army commanders, who have not fought two battles, but they think they are invincible and invincible, and I remind everyone that the first few battles cannot be called wars at all, they are just some skirmishes, and we have taken the enemy by surprise by using the intelligence of the original reason, the rebellion and the internal response. ”

"We have not yet fought a real battle with the regular army of the Empire, and according to the current situation, the enemy has begun to accumulate forces, and will soon launch an offensive against our control area, they are prepared this time, and it can be said that they are all elite troops in the Imperial Army, their combat effectiveness is far from comparable to the garrison forces of the past, but we must win this battle, only by winning this battle, can we truly establish the absolute authority of our Taiping Holy Sect, in order to truly win the trust of the people, Only then can we attract more people to join the Holy Religion, and only then can we completely dispel the ridiculous ideas of those who secretly harbor ill intentions to change the heavens again. ”

As the main planner of the Taiping Sect's military operations in Kansai, Bo Jinchen had extraordinary prestige among those military commanders, and his words were immediately poured on the heads of those hot-headed officers like a scoop of cold water, making them begin to re-examine the current situation.

Seeing that several officers lowered their heads, with a cautious look on their faces, and Bo Jinchen's thin face showed a satisfied look, what was needed was such an effect, if you still had a contemptuous heart, you didn't have to fight in the next battle to know the result, then the end would definitely be the annihilation of the whole army.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little dull, and Feng Yunkai immediately picked up and said, "Next, I will ask the Grandmaster to give you a lecture." (To be continued......)
