Chapter 588: Departure Tomorrow
The camp of the Northern Army thousands of miles away from Chengdu City.
Today, it rains in the spring, especially in this northern land, and it seems that the spring rain is as expensive as oil.
The soldiers were in a good mood.
At noon, the officers and men of the various battalions who had just finished training returned to the camp to rest for a while, and after changing their clothes, they came out to eat.
At this time, the general was eating in the tent of the Chinese army camp and looking at the border situation map. The military advisor next to him had already eaten, pointed to the map and said: "General, now is the time for spring ploughing, the border of Liang is working, if we attack a wave at this time, it can affect their spring ploughing, although the impact is not great, but we are idle, we are idle, and we spend a lot of money and food every day, and we can also train soldiers when we move..."
The military adviser is a clichΓ©, this kind of suggestion will come to the general once a month, and the general will also refuse, of course he has to refuse, first of all, His Majesty will definitely not agree, the second military department will not agree, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree, if we really do it, it will be in vain.
"Let's cut first and then play, and then play after the fight, let's say that the soldiers of the Liang State crossed the border on horseback, and we are fighting back in self-defense. "The military division did not stop today, but continued to persuade, because in the past two years, the northern army has fought fewer and fewer battles, many soldiers seem to have a slack mentality, and what is even more terrifying is that they began to have the idea of underestimating the enemy, plus the defense of the border of Liang State has been somewhat negligent in the past few days, and the military division happened to see it when he was patrolling, so he surged up with a strong idea.
The general finished the rest of the meal in two bites, wiped his mouth and said, "Pull it down, I know what you think." Forget it, find another opportunity, it's not suitable recently, don't make trouble for Your Majesty. β
"Announce, the Holy Decree has arrived. Suddenly, the voice of the post man came from outside the tent.
The general hurriedly walked out of the big tent, and the eunuch outside said hello to the general with his eyes, and then said: "General Li Rongsheng takes the order." Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said...."
After reading it, the general took the holy decree with both hands and put it back into the Chinese military tent and carefully put it away. came out and grabbed the arm of the eunuch and said, "Father-in-law has worked hard, come in and have a few drinks." β
After only a short moment in the tent, the father-in-law of the proclamation took his leave and rushed back to the capital.
After the father-in-law left, the general complained to the military advisor: "I don't know why Your Majesty had a whim to let our northern army do this kind of thing, and he deliberately asked the forward battalion to go." It's just a waste for our forward battalion to do this kind of thing to suppress bandits, it's just a knife to kill chickens. β
After thinking about it, the general said again: "I don't want the forward battalion to go, haven't we been adding training programs to the forward battalion recently, and we are at the critical moment of producing results. β
The military advisor heard that the general had the idea of resisting the decree, and hurriedly said: "General, the holy decree has been issued, even if the general persuades him, it will be useless, and His Majesty will not be able to take back his order." Moreover, His Majesty's move may have His Majesty's deep meaning, and he also asked the general to act in accordance with the holy decree. β
The general shook his head helplessly, he couldn't do anything to resist the decree.
muttered: "My forward battalion is sharpening knives every day of training, the training task is very tight, if this group of boys are released out of Shu Di Ping bandits, it will be equivalent to a month of rest, at least a month, if it is slow, I am afraid it will take a month and a half, for such a long time, it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness very much..."
The military advisor said: "General, we can arrange daily training for them, arrange a few more people to keep an eye on them, and punish them if they are lazy and turn back, so that they may be able to wake up." β
The general smiled: "How many people in this group of cubs can control them? β
As he spoke, the general suddenly frowned and said, "Who is the Holy Decree to send someone to find?" Chen Letian Chen Yushi? Chen Lotian was named the supreme governor of the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen? Your Majesty is too good at playing, haha." Remembering that His Majesty said in the holy decree that they should go to Chen Yushi and obey Chen Yushi's arrangement, the general smiled and leaned back.
"This fucking kid is really shit luck, he went all the way to Shu to cause so many things, and he was still safe and sound in the end, and he was actually made such a big official by His Majesty, this shit is too big. "The general is really happy for Chen Letian, this kid is lucky, on the other hand, this kid is always back from the Northern Army, and their Northern Army is honored.
The fame of the Northern Army is so great, and it has a lot to do with the fact that there are many great bigwigs, not to mention anything else, two-fifths of those big and important members of the military department are from the Northern Army, especially in recent years, and they are about to account for half. For this reason, the Imperial Historical Observatory also made a special concert, proposing to reduce the number of personnel in the Northern Army of the Military Department, otherwise it would be easy to have problems. His Majesty agreed, but only said that he would pay attention to the selection of military officials in the future, and the existing personnel would not need to be deliberately transferred for the time being.
So this time, Chen Letian has become one of the people who have contributed to the reputation of the Northern Army.
"Send a lieutenant who can control them, and fix them. The military advisor also thought of it.
"Your Majesty is really willing, you want me to have three hundred soldiers of the forward battalion, I think a hundred people are enough, those mountain bandits in Shu are nothing more than more powerful at climbing mountains, but the soldiers of our forward battalion are not weak compared to them. The general was still unconvinced. If His Majesty had been here at this time, he would have cried long ago that the soldiers of the forward battalion would have had no time to go to Shudi, and the soldiers were very hard.
But the Holy Command must not be violated. In the afternoon, the general summoned Captain Lu of the forward battalion. Told him about the new assignment he had just received.
The general said to Captain Lu in a serious tone: "Choose thirty soldiers, Chen Letian's army will definitely be selected, and give Chen Letian's kid a surprise, which can be regarded as the special care given to him by this general." Other people, you look at the choice, choose some clever ones, although the bandits in the mountains are definitely waste, but after all, there are many people, our purpose is to gallop across the mountains of Shudi, and bring all of them back safely without a dime. β
Captain Lu bowed his head and said, "I understand my humble duties. The humble post will definitely come back with his brothers unharmed, please rest assured that the general. β
The general patted Captain Lu on the shoulder and said, "Your Majesty is playful, or someone in the court with ulterior motives wants to test our northern army." In either case, we can't afford to lose the face of the Northern Army. You have a good relationship with Lotte, so I sent you, and the other is that the soldiers of the forward battalion obey you, so you can't leave behind in training when you're fine, and try to ensure the recent special training without affecting your combat effectiveness, anyway, you know the training method very well. Do you understand what I mean?"
Captain Lu arched his hand and said, "I understand." The general is reassured. β
"Okay, you go and make arrangements, and we'll leave tomorrow at dawn. The general waved his hand.
"Yes, humble. β
