Section 22 Reincarnation
"Hasn't He Feihu come back yet?" The young officer corps in the south has never been more eager for war than now, eager to prove the achievements of the past few years in the war, and win merit and glory for themselves, Shi Tianyu, as the child of a senior general, naturally also has his own news channels, Huang Naiming is one of them.
The person who was asked smiled and shook his head, the marines in Zheng Chenggong's hands were all trained by the old unit of the person he was talking about, and he was very concerned about this question: "General Xiaohe will return safely, right?" β
"Don't worry, King Liao is his eldest uncle, how can something happen?" Shi Tianyu laughed.
Most of the current young and strong officers of the Southern Army are the sons and nephews of the former Huangshi Department who stayed in Fujian, and in any case, they are all the most trusted and focused people in Huangshi, but Zheng Chenggong has a feeling that the old Huangshi Department, which was originally indistinguishable from each other, seems to have suddenly been divided into the northern department and the southern department, and the Qi State Mansion has been a lot colder to the people in the northern department. For example, this He Feihu, obviously a general that the Duke of Qi relied on and cultivated very much before, but now the war is about to be sent to the envoy, and Shi Tianyu does not seem to be very concerned about his safety, as for the prince of Qi Guo, there seems to be another feeling hidden in his enthusiastic tone, although He Feihu has the identity of a messenger, has a relationship in Liaodong, and has the strength of the south as a backing, but it seems that he should be more concerned about He Baodao's orphans.
"Don't worry about General Zheng when he comes back, the marines are still yours," Shi Tianyu saw Zheng Chenggong's eyes drooping slightly, guessing that he was just guessing the other party's mind wrongly, and laughed: "Duke Qi doesn't dare to let him lead the troops, what if he brings back the Nanyang style of the Reclamation Regiment?" This is our own territory, our compatriots. β
"Yes, yes," Zheng Chenggong smiled and said: "Actually, I think this is too much to worry about, General Xiaohe has been loyal and good for generations, and he knows the general situation, even if he comes back to lead the army, I am also convinced." β
"Yes, generations of loyalty." Shi Tianyu's smile remained unchanged: "It's really rare." β
"Brother Zheng is insincere, he should be punished with a glass of wine," Huang Naiming said and handed over a glass of wine.
"The last general will admit punishment." Zheng Chenggong took the wine glass and drank it all.
Huang Naiming and Zheng Chenggong looked at each other and smiled, then turned their heads and asked Shi Tianyu: "At the Xiapu Military Academy, I saw that General Xu's book has become a teaching material, is it also used here in Guangdong?" β
"Yes, teaching it with Qi Gong's book, this is still the credit of the prince." Xu Ping sorted out a lot of battle examples in the camp to train the army, these things were copied by Huang Shi before, Huang Naiming deliberately collected and sorted them out in Xu Ping's army and sent them back to the south, Xu Ping was unexpectedly not too wary in this regard, so that most of the means prepared by Huang Naiming in advance were not used, which made him secretly feel that the other party was stupid, Shi Tianyu said with great interest: "General Xu wrote a lot of things, the most useful is the precautions about the battle of more than 10,000 people, Hou Ye has not been large since Changsheng Island, Most of them were battles of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the equipment was not the same as it is now, but General Xu was very different. β
"Yes," Speaking of battlefield tactics, Zheng Chenggong also came to the spirit: "Jin Shuai pays attention to precise planning in advance, but General Xu disagrees, thinking that this is only suitable for battles of less than 5,000 people, he thinks that when 10,000 people and more than 10,000 people fight, it is more important to ensure that fewer mistakes are made than to strictly implement the plan, General Xu believes that once the size of the army is tens of thousands, mistakes are inevitable, and mistakes in command and intelligence are also inevitable. Be as accurate as possible and avoid making too many mistakes, too much of the ......"
Speaking of this, Zheng Chenggong paused slightly, and said to Huang Naiming apologetically: "General Xu also said that the set of Duke Qi and Jin Shuai is right in small-scale battles, but there are other methods for larger-scale battles......
"It just doesn't fit." Huang Naiming said in his heart that these things were still sorted out by him, how could he not know, Xu Ping's explanation of the battle examples in the camp in addition to his own side, there are also many counter-examples of the new army, as for the Zunhua victory of Commander Huangshi, although it is also tens of thousands of scale, Xu Ping also asserts that the perfect command effect in the plan and specific process of this battle will only occur when there is a huge gap between the quality of weapons and soldiers, in short, because the disparity in strength is too great, so it covers up all the command mistakes that may actually occur.
Zheng Chenggong acquiesced, and Shi Tianyu said nonchalantly: "Guangdong has organized several actual combat drills of tens of thousands of people, and General Xu is right, the commander's very correct assumption and command are likely to cause extremely low-level mistakes." β
"It's the same in Fujian." Huang Naiming silently recited in his heart, the Fujian garrison, which has sufficient military funds, has also carried out many large-scale actual combat exercises, and the more people there are, the more energy the commander will spend on making up for his mistakes.
"Xu Ping is a threat," Shi Tianyu asserted, "Li Shun will still use him if the situation is unfavorable." β
"Xu Ping is not a threat, and we will not let him be a threat." Huang Naiming shook his head lightly and sighed, and even showed a little regret on his face.
At this time, a loud shout suddenly sounded downstairs: "The Provincial Secretary of State has reached a resolution-"
For a moment, the people upstairs, whether they were wearing military uniforms or not, stood up and rushed to the window, and all the surrounding buildings also popped up with black heads.
"Qingyuan-" The excited herald soldier gasped violently out of breath, shouting to the surrounding crowd on the streets and high places with all his strength: "One hundred and twenty votes to twenty-five, directly rejecting Li Chuang's proposal will not consider any follow-up negotiations!" β
"Hooray!" Countless people in military uniforms let out excited shouts.
"The Qing Yuan made a counter-suggestion to Li Chuang!" Before the soldier finished speaking, he waved his arm vigorously in mid-air: "The Qing Yuan asks Li Chuang to immediately remove his false name and surrender!" β
"Long live the Academy!"
There were cheers from young soldiers everywhere, and even people like Zheng Chenggong, who was already a general, were excited, and their tones became a little stammering: "This is a declaration of war, right?" β
"This is war! At least Guangdong declared war on Li Shun. Huang Naiming's words also became staccato, although he firmly believed in this outcome, but his father finally gave the choice of whether the regime was worth defending to the acting councillors instead of a word, and these people, at least most of them, also lived up to the expectations and expressed their willingness to defend her: "Although Li Shun has eight out of ten in the world, but this is also their Manchu civil and military war, and there may be some Li Shun officers and soldiers who are eager for meritorious service, and we are not, if the five provinces all declare war, That's at least half of the men who have to serve the country, and we're far stronger than them! β
I don't know who fired a shot first, and then a large number of soldiers fired their guns into the sky in the same way:
"Hit Beijing!"
"Capture Li Chuang alive!"
β¦β¦
"Jiangxi's counter-proposal was that Li Shun should immediately withdraw his garrison on the Huguang border to show that they had no hostile intention to use force against Jiangxi, otherwise Jiangxi would begin to defend itself - Li Shun obviously could not accept it, so that the five provinces would all declare war on Li Shun," Zhang Zaidi reported to Huangshi: "We asked Guangdong to provide 20,000 soldiers here at once, but the Guangdong Qing Yuan said that it would increase the appropriation, provide us with 15,000 more soldiers, and at the same time double the military expenses we were going to requisition." β
"The news won't come to Beijing immediately, and King Shun probably won't understand what I'm doing all of a sudden? He's probably going to be waiting suspiciously for my official announcement, so he'd just have to wait. β
At this time, Li Yunrui was discussing intelligence gathering for the war with Zhao Slow-bear and Jin Qiude, and the former said that everything was going smoothly.
"And what about Xu Ping?"
"He won't live next month."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, he lived and ate with the single guards in Fengyang at the beginning, and the chefs and concubines didn't do it all by themselves, did he really think he was a disciple of an adult? It's pretty similar. Li Yunrui sneered contemptuously: "After the guards got married, he went to other people's houses all day and night to eat, and even went to the waste prince to eat and drink for nothing. Li Chuang felt that it was too unorthodox for a hero like him to be so maverick, so he planned to send him a team of subordinates, and also selected a few imperial chefs and a group of palace maids, we have already bought a cook who is interested in the imperial court, and we will poison him when we arrive in Fengyang at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. In the end, Li Yunrui said unwillingly: "It's too early to declare war, and I finally found an opportunity to make everyone think that Li Chuang is hiding from the bird." β
"It doesn't matter, it can also be said that Li Chuang thinks that he has the chance to win, and he can't even wait for the world to be unified before he attacks the heroes," Zhao Slowxiong felt that it was better: "Isn't it stupid and evil for Li Chuang to poison the heroes before the war is decided?" β
"Yes." Li Yunrui thought about it and thought that what Zhao Wanxiong said was not unreasonable.
"It's just that I want to keep it secret for the time being, and I have wronged the meritorious prestige of the subordinates of the Military Intelligence Department." Zhao Slowbear smiled.
"For the sake of the great cause of adults, what do they have to gain by being wronged by this?" Li Yunrui smiled: "Besides, it's not like it will never be known, wait...... Wait, well, well, sooner or later, there will still be a reward for merit. β
"Don't you know?" After Li Yunrui proposed a plan to assassinate Xu Ping and blame Jiangdong last time, everyone thought it was good, but Huang Shi still opposed it for some reason, and it was useless for everyone involved in the secret meeting to persuade him, saying that it was not fair to act like this. Heaven is pitiful, bright and fair!? Li Yunrui really couldn't understand the deep meaning behind Huang Shi's use of this word.
"Adults sometimes soften their hearts inexplicably when they shouldn't be soft-hearted, but the future generations told me that this matter should be done freely, no matter what, the country must come first, and the safety of the soldiers must be considered."
"Yes." Zhao and Jin Qiude remembered the scene in front of Liuhe Village almost at the same time.
β¦β¦
Gao Chengcang was in a very bad mood, drinking one cup after another, he followed the wing officer Hu Chen to Jinan to help Shandong train the army, and at the same time, Hu Chen's team also shouldered the mission of looking for several elite officers for the central government.
"Brother Gao, it's not a big deal to admit your guilt, you are also an old man who follows the general, General Chen, you don't know, our old chief and old boss." Yue Mu sat on the side and persuaded bitterly: "Could it be that you have been wronged by confessing to Lord Chen?" β
Hu Chen originally fell in love with a young local officer in Jinan, and planned to promote him to serve in Beijing, but the morning before yesterday, Gao Chengcang suddenly found that this lucky man had broken two legs and passed out next to the barracks.
Gao Chengcang, who was furious, immediately went to report to Hu Chen, shouting that he must be dealt with by military law, and Hu Chen also went to see the envoy of Jiedu with righteous indignation, but after coming back, Hu Chen's tone changed, saying that this incident was provoked by the victim first, and not only to be expelled from the army, but also to add Chen Zhe's cousin to the list of guarantees.
It only took one day, Gao Chengcang made this matter known to the whole camp, this afternoon Hu Chen summoned him to the front with a cold face, blaming him for spreading rumors and damaging the reputation of the Jiedu envoy, which made General Chen angry, but after Hu Chen's repeated apologies, now the Jiedu has calmed down his anger, but Gao Chengcang must go tomorrow to apologize to the Jiedu envoy in person. Seeing that Gao Chengcang was still not convinced, Hu Chen was furious and ordered Gao Chengcang to obey the military order.
"When I was with my lord, Lord Chen was still in the new army." Gao Chengcang was still unconvinced, he withdrew his fingers from the wine glass, gently stroked the saber on his waist, and muttered: "My knife was personally handed over to me by the adult, rewarding my loyalty." β
"I know, I know, but this arm can't twist my thigh."
"I gave this knife to me personally, because I was bold and loyal."
Gao Chengcang had been muttering, but Yue Mu looked at his face and knew that he would still apologize after all: "Give Lord Chen a good salute, won't this matter be over?" β
"Ahh
There was a terrible scream outside the tavern, and a man dressed as a peasant was holding him to a big tree at the door, and several men in black behind him could not tear him off from it with all their might, and one of them was so angry that he picked up his stick and struck him in the back with all his might.
The beaten man cried out in pain, but he still clung to the big tree and cried out inarticulately: "I haven't paid my wages yet, I really haven't paid them." β
Passers-by looked at these people blankly, Gao Chengcang and Yue Mu only glanced at them, and then turned their heads again, everyone knew that the Shandong defense envoy encouraged industry and commerce, not only the merchants in the south, but also the local wealthy families began to set up factories. There is a shortage of manpower in the city of Jinan, and many rural peasants go to the city to work in their spare time -- although the grain tax is exempted, all parts of Shandong two years ago have stipulated that they will be charged fees for water, bridge repair, and road paving...... A few days ago, a peasant ran to the head of the city and jumped down, which caused an uproar in the whole city. Many people sighed and felt that it was not worth it: Isn't it just a few wages, why bother?
"Diaomin!" The black-clothed man at the head waved the stick in his hand furiously, this guy Yue Mu seemed to know, it seemed to be a disciple of Shandong Daxia, called Yuanbao or something, his division was the right-hand man of the Shandong Defense Mission, and his work included dragging all kinds of special troublemakers out of the city: "Dare to make trouble in front of the yamen in broad daylight, and look for death!" β
"My ...... Salary...... Really didn't give ...... I really didn't give it. "After being chased all the way from the Yamen to here, and being severely beaten, the peasants' voices have become much quieter, but they are still protesting.
Gao Chengcang tilted his neck and poured another glass of wine into his throat, slapped the wine glass on the table, and poured himself another full glass.
"Chop off his hand, I can't clean him up if I don't believe it!"
Yue Mu looked out the door, the person behind the peasant stopped waving his stick, and one person began to draw the dagger at his waist.
"Don't fool around here!" Gao Chengcang suddenly turned around and roared angrily: "Uncle still wants to drink!" β
Several disciples of Shandong heroes looked inside the door when they heard the sound, and when they saw that they were just two soldiers wearing ordinary military uniforms, they bowed their hands to the two and said, "Two military masters, we also have responsibilities in our bodies." β
Gao Chengcang stood up, and Yue Mu hurriedly got up to pull it when he saw this, and at the same time shouted, "Brother Gao, don't make trouble anymore." β
But Gao Chengcang was already at the end of Yue Mu's broken arm and couldn't hold him down.
Perhaps it was Yue Mu's voice that emboldened the other party, and the guy at the head greeted Gao Chengcang without showing weakness: "Master Jun, this is a remnant of the previous dynasty, do you want to protect the thief?" Are you going to rebel? β
Gao Chengcang glared: "How can an honest farmer become a thief?" β
"If the hearts of the remnants of the previous dynasty are not dead, they will sneak into my Dashun to bewitch the people and incite the people to revolt!" The chivalrous man at the head said confidently: "This guy is one, he deliberately made trouble in broad daylight, wanting to provoke the people who don't know the truth to become chaotic, and now the south is ......"
"I ask you!" Gao Chengcang shouted, raised his voice and roared out the question just now: "How can an honest farmer become a thief?" β
Yue Mu, who chased after Gao Chengcang, suddenly sounded when he heard this, and the officials who were raging in his hometown before he fled, and the villagers who were starving to death on the side of the road were also as if they had been struck by lightning.
The other party inexplicably glanced at the companions around him, and asked with a sneer: "How do we know what these thieves think?" But Master Jun, you are eating Dashun's salary, what's wrong? Have you sympathized with the thief? β
When they came out today, Gao Chengcang and Yue Mu both changed into the uniforms of local soldiers so as not to disturb the shopkeeper, he felt the smell of alcohol surge, and slapped the saber hard: "Do you know, Lao Tzu's saber is ......"
"Commit murder with a knife and obstruct the king's affairs!" The chivalrous halberd at the head pointed at Gao Chengcang and scolded: "This guy must be meticulous, pretending to be an officer and soldier, and taking down the interrogation!" β
The next thing was beyond Yue Mu's control, the two knights fell to the ground and groaned in a blink of an eye, and the rest shouted and fled in all directions.
The people around him formed a large circle in shock, looking at the fierce Gao Chengcang in shock, while the peasant threw himself down at his feet and shouted eagerly: "Engong, go, go!" β
Before the stunned Yue Mu reacted, he had already heard a loud noise in the distance:
"Catch the thief!"
"Catch it!"
Towards the place where the voice came from, the crowd slowly moved and let go of a mouth, and the person in front of Gao Chengcang's feet shook his thighs violently: "Engong! Engong! Let's go! β
Gao Chengcang turned his head to look at Yue Mu, and laughed dryly: "I thought my blood was already cold, but it turned out to be hot." β
After speaking, Gao Chengcang threw down the knife and shouted to the sky when the official rushed into the crowd: "General, where is the peaceful and prosperous world you promised us!?" β
