In the entire Yuyang Mansion, in addition to the Fucheng, there are three counties.

These three counties are Baima County, Dingguang County and Jinghu County.

Among them, Dingguang County was the first county town captured by the Taiping Army; After capturing Daqing Pass, the Taiping army conquered Baima County again, connecting the two places; Now the only thing that has not been mastered by the Taiping army is Jinghu County.

The total area of this county is larger than that of Baima and Dingguang, but the land area is not as large, mainly because half of the area is made up of lakes. Because it is connected to the Qingjiang River, and Jinghu Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the whole Songjiang County, it is rich in fishery resources, and it is very famous in the entire Songjiang Five Prefectures, which is also the origin of the name of Jinghu County.

With the initial stabilization of Yuyang City, the government has basically resumed operation.

Oh no, the official mansion has become history, and the current Yuyang official mansion was temporarily renamed the Taiping Military Government by Chen Wu.

Originally, the Qianyuan Empire was anxious to get rid of the influence of the previous dynasties, but it was also impacted by the trend of cultural integration of the Eastern and Western continents, and the official system and the military system were mostly a mixture of East and West. There are both traditional parts of the Eastern Continent and improvements directly from the regulations of the Western Continent. Now that Chen Wu wants to set up a new dynasty, he naturally has to say something, even if the substance still follows the previous dynasty......

As a result, he took a step forward in the system of the Qianyuan Empire.

It doesn't really matter what it's called, it's just a different name anyway, and nothing has changed about the specific division of functions and the attribution of power in the department. Chen Wu had other plans in his heart, so he was not in a hurry to make a big change, he just used it if he could.

In short, with the resumption of the Taiping military government in Yuyang, the Taiping army began to send troops to Jinghu County.

Compared with Baima County and Dingguang County, Jinghu County's urban defense force is stronger. In addition to the two brigades of urban defense battalions, there is also a brigade to manage the fishermen of Jinghu County, and occasionally go down to the lake to catch some wandering Jinghu bandits. However, after all, there is an absolute disparity in the strength of the two sides, even if there are more than a hundred people, it will only allow Jinghu County to support for two more days.

Shi Yuanliang, who was sent out, was ordered by Chen Wu to attack in a hurry, but to reduce losses as much as possible. After the siege of the city, it took nearly five days to easily capture the county seat of Jinghu.

In this way, the entire capital city and the three counties of Yuyang Prefecture fell into the control of the Taiping army.

Of course, between the cities, there were still a large number of villages and towns in the blank space of the Taiping army's power. But with the empire's military power largely uprooted and the Taiping army in control of all the cities, it was only a matter of time before the power penetrated further.

Seeing that the attack on Songjiang had achieved a phased victory, the Taiping army was given a short rest under Chen Wu's orders, and took the opportunity to begin to expand the army again.

From now on, until the Taiping army has captured the whole of Songjiang, similar expansions will continue uninterruptedly. Until the military power in his hands was enough to guarantee the rule of Songjiang County, and he had the spare strength to march abroad.

The order spread, and the thousands of Yuyang City people who had surrendered before were all absorbed after being selected and eliminated more than a thousand people. Together with the recruits from Dingguang County and Baima County, they joined the name of the War Readiness Administration and received the whole training of the recruits.

This will be a total of more than 6,000 troops, which is comparable to the current Imperial Volunteer Battalion and the Taiping Battalion combined!

Because of the urgency of time, the recruitment period that was originally scheduled to be three months was compressed by Chen Wu by half a month. Considering that Dingguang County and Baima County have been training for a period of time, and have experienced the siege of Yuyang in the middle, it will take another month at most, and the first batch of quick recruits will be released for these 6,000 people, effectively supplementing the strength of the Taiping Army, which is now faintly beginning to overstretch.

The massive resources in the city of Yuyang Mansion were also passively used, and a qiē priority was given to ensuring that Chen Wu built this new army.

While expanding the army and digesting the territory of Yuyang Mansion, Chen Wu did not forget to transfer a group of manpower to strengthen the military intelligence department in Ganxing. After a brief training, a group of Taiping spies were sent to Chishangfu in the south, Dengju in the central county, and Wushan and Fengcheng in the east to gather information on the four places and prepare for the next move of the Taiping army.

From the moment Yuyang changed hands, the Taiping Army ushered in a period of stable and rapid expansion!

………

Just when all aspects were thriving and a good situation, Chen Wu ushered in a mysterious visitor.

The other party's dress is very ordinary, and he looks like a rich peasant in Yuyang that can be seen everywhere. But no one knew that this inconspicuous person had already turned around Yuyang City in the past few days. The Taiping army's movements in various parts of the city and the training in the school field were all secretly observed by him. After a detailed and comprehensive assessment of the overall strength of the Taiping Army, Chen Wu was found.

When he learned from the guards that this person insisted on seeing him and claimed to be a friend from the south, Chen Wu probably guessed the true identity of the other party.

He was a little surprised that he had killed Qinghu Hutong Light earlier, and the Kingdom of Oman dared to continue to send people.

However, on second thought, the actions of the Kingdom of Oman are understandable.

Chen Wu's move to extinguish his mouth was fast and ruthless, and it didn't make sense from normal logic, and the black-clothed guard must have doubts about Hu Tongguang's death. Coupled with the fact that the Taiping army controlled the Daqing Pass and the troops at hand, it would be too great for the Oman Kingdom to play a big role, so they would not hesitate to take the risk to contact Chen Wu again.

For the ambitious Saladin, if he could buy Chen Wu for his own use, lay down the Nanfeng Fortress, and march into the Central Plains, what would a black-clothed guard official be counted if he was unjustly killed?

Even if Chen Wu asked him to favor his concubine, as long as he was sure that the Taiping Army could help, Saladin would be able to send her incognito!

A hero, he doesn't care so much at all.

I just don't know, who is the person sent by the Kingdom of Oman this time?

His gaze swept over the other party's masked black scarf, and Chen Wu secretly speculated. Looking at the figure, it shouldn't be the wolf of Nanshan who is as famous as the green fox alley. In this way, it may be some rising star. If he wasn't particularly famous before the crossing, Chen Wu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to recognize him. After all, intelligence has always been more secretive and low-key. Like Hutong Light, it is because it is too famous that it will be paid special attention to by players and dig up so many things.

"My master, ask me to say hello to General Tiangong."

After taking his seat, he arched his hand to the south. The tone was deliberately raised, and the sharp voice sounded a bit like that of a eunuch, and a rich gift list was casually presented.

Pearls, jade, calligraphy and paintings, red coral from the South China Sea of Oman......

The value of what is on this gift list alone is enough to make the average nobleman smack. Being able to pass through the blockade of the Guò South Peak Fortress and smuggle it from the Kingdom of Oman into the territory of the empire, it is estimated that they have not worked hard.

The so-called courtesy must be demanded by others, Chen Wu glanced at it roughly, and guessed that the appetite of the Kingdom of Oman was only very amazing.

"Who is your master? We don't know each other, so why do we give such a generous gift? ”

Chen Wu pretended not to know the other party's origin and asked knowingly. But in line with the principle that someone is a fool to send **** not to slaughter, he still reached out and accepted the gift list. Anyway, the Kingdom of Oman can't whip him, and the Taiping army will be its enemy sooner or later in the future, so he is not afraid that these things will be hot if he takes them.

"General Tiangong really can't guess?"

The other party was clearly not convinced.

can toss all the way from Taiping County to Songjiang County, the military strength is getting stronger and stronger, and there is almost no defeat, such a person is by no means an ordinary thief. He stared at Chen Wu's eyes and suddenly asked, "Those crossbow arrows, are they still easy to use?" ”

"Crossbow bolts? What crossbow arrows? ”

Chen Wu's face was a little stunned, and he said, "Ben General doesn't understand what you're talking about. ”

“……”

Seeing that Chen's level of stupidity was so exquisite, the person who came was obviously speechless for a moment, and simply pointed out: "The general killed a person in Longshan City, Taiping County last year, and that was the intelligence officer of our Oman Kingdom's black-clothed guards, and he also carried a batch of military crossbows...... I said that, did the general remember? ”

Since the other party has disclosed his identity and said it so thoroughly, Chen Wu can no longer deny it, but he still didn't leave a truth for the other party: "What are you referring to is the change in Longshan?" ”

He deliberately made a deep groan, and recalled while thinking: "I remember that day when the sky was about to dawn, there was indeed a group of fanatics of the Good Friends Association who carried a large number of crossbow arrows in an attempt to attack the Taiping army, and then they were exterminated by our Taiping army horse team, and the crossbow arrows were also captured. But this matter? ”

Chen Wu's remarks are similar to a point of view in the internal analysis of the Black Guards, that is, the Qinghu Hutongguang was involved in the conflict between the Taiping Army and the Good Friends Association. But those who come can be sure that Chen Wu's words are at most seven points true, and they can't be trusted. Seeing that he seemed to have the intention of beating a rake and putting the behind-the-scenes commander on the head of the black-clothed guard, the people who came couldn't help but feel annoyed in their hearts.

What is the identity of the Blackguard in the South? was so slighted by an anti-thief leader.

Suppressing the feelings in his heart, he preemptively cut off Chen Wu's words and said, "Obviously, General Tiangong killed our intelligence officer indiscriminately, and he even wanted to expose it so lightly...... That's it, who made the kingdom of Oman and the general of Tiangong have common enemies? The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and since it is a friend, then it should be a misunderstanding of what happened before. ”

The other party probably didn't want to upset Chen Wu, so he retreated half a step. Seeing that the other party no longer mentioned this matter, Chen Wu had no objection, and changed his words to ask about the other party's intentions.

"This is my identification in the Blackguard."

In order to win Chen Wu's trust, the other party first took out a heavy, jet-black wooden plaque from his sleeve before expressing his intention. I don't know what material the wooden plaque is made of, and what kind of treatment it has undergone, and the texture is so hard that ordinary swords are difficult to draw traces. In addition to the identity number and a string of ghost-like letters, two words are engraved on the reverse side of the wooden card: North Wind!

In the empire, Chen Wu, who had dealt with the black-clothed guards many times, knew very well that this was the identity token of the black-clothed guards.

As for the meaning of the north wind, it actually corresponds to the south wind. The black guards of the Kingdom of Oman are divided into two systems: internal and external. Internally, it is the south wind group, and externally, because the main opponent is only the Qianyuan Empire in the north, so they all call themselves the north wind.

Qinghu Hutongguang, who was killed by Chen Wu before, was in charge of the north wind.

The person in front of him is estimated to be a subordinate of Hutong Light before his death.
