"The current situation is roughly like this, and I will ask Envoy Bo to arrange the military situation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing the masked man silently returning to his seat, Feng Yunkai, who was presiding over the meeting, arranged according to the meeting procedure.
"The Black Sect Envoy has already given a general introduction to the information on various aspects and paid tribute to the military deployment, I think we need to come down and make careful research and consultation before we can make it, and the situation 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, we have not fought two battles, but we think that we are invincible, and we have conquered everything, I remind everyone that the previous battles cannot be called wars at all, they are just some skirmishes, and they are all information that we use for the reason. We have not yet had 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 the area under our control, 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, can we truly win the trust of the people, and can we attract more people to join the Holy Sect, in order to completely dispel the ridiculous thoughts of those who secretly harbor ill intentions to change the sky 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." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, success or failure belong to the past, and the Taiping Holy Sect is about to usher in a brighter and more brilliant future. In just a few days, with the concerted efforts of the people of the Holy Church, the thousands of miles of land in Kansai have been bathed in the blessings of the Holy Religion, and millions of people will follow us to feel the fraternity of the Holy Religion. In just one sentence, the atmosphere in the hall immediately changed greatly, and the eyes of everyone in the hall were a little more frenzy.
"At present, all parts of Beiyuan and Yanyun are also ready, as long as we ascend to the heights and shout, the people will surely look at the scenery, and when the time comes, the rain and dew of the Holy Sect will be able to help all sentient beings, so that the people of our religion can enjoy the peace and happiness of the peaceful and prosperous world. ”
As soon as the words fell, almost everyone in the hall stood up, and their faces surged with excitement and fanatical light, "Taiping world, peaceful world!" "Taiping world, peaceful world!" "Taiping world, peaceful world!"
The shouts rolled up waves as if they were going to spread over the whole land.
There were only three people left in the inner room, although You Daofang looked a little tired, his mental state was very good, and there were only two people left beside him, Bo Jinchen and his disciple Lan Bailin, probably there was something important to discuss.
"Jinchen, in your opinion, how should we deal with it now?" You Daofang's expression had gradually calmed down at this time, and the two fingers of his right hand gently touched the white jade plate fingers on the ring finger of his left hand.
"Grandmaster, the current situation of the enemy army is unknown, and there is no specific strategy to deal with it, according to the intelligence of Jingli, it is said that the imperial court is arguing very much over where to draw troops to reinforce Kansai, and even Situ Mingyue is a little undecided. It's good for us, at least we can buy more time to prepare. "Bo Jinchen and You Daofang have been old friends for many years, it can be said that since You Daofang began to establish the Taiping Sect, he has been helping You Daofang silently cultivate all kinds of talents.
"Do we have enough soldiers now?" You Daofang is not very good at military affairs, and all military affairs are basically handed over to his eldest disciples Xu Wenzhe and Bo Jinchen, and he doesn't ask much about it.
"It's not enough, it's too much. Bo Jinchen's face was worried, and the corners of his mouth were slightly wry, "But these people who have just joined the army are certainly commendable, but they have never undergone any military training, lack the necessary military skills, and it can be said that they lack even basic military qualities, and they can't go to the battlefield at all, let alone use them in real battles." ”
As soon as this remark came out, even You Daofang's heart was shocked, he knew that his old friend had nothing to say, if this was the case, wouldn't the good situation in Kansai be about to come to naught?
Seeing You Daofang's face with surprise, Bo Jinchen secretly sighed and said: "Of course, not all troops are like this, the troops we trained in the early stage are very effective, the quality of the military instructors of the Kaman people is indeed good, and I am already very satisfied with such good results in such a short period of time, and after this period of actual combat training, I believe that I have been able to cope with more battles." However, I'm worried about our follow-up forces, as the area under our control expands, the confrontations with the Emperor [***] team will definitely become more and more frequent, and the scale of the war will become larger and larger, and there may be no successors in the later stage. ”
Nodding, You Daofang's face also became solemn, although he is not proficient in military affairs, he is not ignorant, and he also knows the important surname of the quality of soldiers in this army, if he does not prepare early, when it is really needed, I am afraid it will be too late.
"Then what kind of work do we need to do first?" Lan Bailin, who had not spoken, couldn't help but ask.
"What we lack now is not ordinary soldiers, the most lacking is the grassroots officers, I think we should draw some manpower from the existing army, let the military instructors of the Kaman people carry out special training, it is best to take turns to train the grassroots officers, this will help the rapid improvement of the quality of officers, as for the ordinary soldiers, there is no shortage of holy religion, so that they can train and grow in the battle formation. Bo Jinchen put forward his own idea.
"Okay, Jinchen, your opinion is very good, I think this is the way to do it, we can immediately draw out a part of the potential officers in Hanzhong for intensive rotation training, in order to improve their military command ability, but we must also be careful not to rely too much on the Kamans, we can't be led by the Kamans in everything, there is nothing to see at present, it is difficult to say what the situation will change in the future, what will be the attitude of the Kamans, it is best to train a group of military instructors who belong to our Holy Sect. "You Daofang is worthy of being the soul of the Taiping Sect, and he thinks further.
"The disciple is thinking, we can't just rely on a few countries in the north, the Maqi Khans in the south have also coveted the empire for a long time, can we bring in a group of military instructors from the Maqi Khans, or get some assistance?" Lan Bailin had a thoughtful look on his face.
"I also discussed this with the envoy Bo, and in the early stage, due to various reasons, we also had contact with the Maqi Khans, but then their minister of state, Lei Juetian, was assassinated, and the matter has been delayed. Recently, we got the news that Lei Juetian's health has improved greatly, and he has begun to deal with government affairs, and today I want you to get ready, and tomorrow I will leave for Sanglin City to meet Lei Juetian to discuss assistance and come to assist us in training, and Bailin, you see if there is a suitable opportunity to convey that we hope that the Maqi Khans will increase military pressure on the southern frontier of the empire, forcing the empire to not be able to withdraw troops from the south, and even make the empire feel that the pressure is too great and it is better to increase the number of troops. You Daofang was obviously full of confidence in his disciple's ability, and he boldly handed over such a major matter to him.
Hearing Shizun say this, the young man was a little hesitant, this matter is not simply to seek assistance, but also has the flavor of a military alliance, what kind of person Lei Juetian is, if you want to make a deal with him, I am afraid it will not be easy, although I have also experienced a lot of big and small things, such an important matter to be handed over to myself Reading Power to complete himself is still a little worried, raised his head and just wanted to say something, but saw that the eyes of Shizun and the envoy next to him were full of encouragement and trust, and he finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"Bailin, you don't have to worry too much, as long as mutual interests require, there is no deal that cannot be reached. The Maqi Khans are certainly strong militarily, but they are just as difficult to face the pressure of the empire alone, and they also want us to make as much trouble as possible, you just need to grasp this point and deal with them, as for what they want to ask, you can consider it, if it is too big to decide, you can push it back, I believe that the Maqi Khans and we have the same views in many aspects. Bo Jinchen's face showed encouragement, and his tone was much softer.
"Disciple respects his life. The young man finally nodded in agreement.
"Oh, by the way, Master, isn't it time to strike at the Partridge Pass in Longdong Mansion first? Intelligence shows that Li Wufeng's two main divisions have disappeared, and even he himself can't see the shadow, could it be a precursor to making a move against Longdong?" the young man suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Well, it seems that Li Wufeng is going to be lonely, and he can't even care about the opposition of the empire. This guy probably did a lot of work in Yanjing, and there was news from Yanjing that many people also proposed to let Li Wufeng send an army to help the empire exterminate us, but they were all resolutely vetoed by Situ Mingyue and He Zhiqiu, and they were probably also wary of this guy who climbed the pole. At the beginning, we didn't take the Partridge Pass just to prevent this guy from finding an excuse, but now that the situation in Longdong has stabilized and the time is ripe, we can completely take the Partridge Pass, block Li Wufeng's men and horses in the northwest, and let him stare dryly. Bo Jinchen had a confident smile on his face.
"Oh, then we'll have to do it sooner. The young man hurriedly said.
"Well, yesterday I already asked Mao Neng to lead a team of 20,000 people from Longdong, and I also drew a team of 10,000 cavalry from Xikang to reinforce it, so be sure to firmly block the Partridge Pass. Bo Jinchen said with a smile.
The Taiping Sect Army, known as the Holy Sect Army, was formed following the military establishment of several [***] teams in the north, with a corps of 70,000 people (cavalry) under it, and a thousand, hundred, and ten (cavalry) teams below, and the officers were called husband commanders or cavalry commanders.
Fate played its trick on people, and almost at the same time, both sides set their sights on the Partridge Close, which had been indifferent until a few days ago, and a head-on collision that neither side expected was about to begin.
