The temporary headquarters of the Eastern Advance Corps was located at Shanhaiguan, and at the same time, the imperial camp center of His Majesty the Emperor was also located here.

But His Majesty the Emperor has a decree, and the military is subject to the corps.

That is to say, as soon as the war begins, all military reports and requests for instructions on the front line must first be sent to the corps headquarters, which will make a decision and then submit them to the imperial camp for verification.

In other words, Jia Liu doesn't care where to fight, how to fight, and how to fight, he, the emperor, only unconditionally provides money and food for the 100,000 soldiers of the corps to play, and when it comes to specific command, even if he is the emperor, he will never interfere.

This decree won the unanimous support and approval of the generals at all levels of the corps, and the officers and men praised His Majesty the Emperor for his wisdom and martial arts and sympathized with their hardships, so that they did not compete with the people below them for merit and gave them a chance to perform.

On the selection of the commander of the Eastern Advance Corps, the cabinet, the military department, and the emperor himself actually had three opinions at the beginning.

The Cabinet's opinion is that the Eastern Advance Corps is a large group army with a jurisdiction of 100,000 people, and before that, it was customary to command a 100,000-strong army at the level of Dingbian and Dingxi generals.

Now that the Qing Dynasty does not have a general at the level of a marshal, then it is necessary to find a general who can fight well to serve as the commander of this corps.

Or the dignitaries of the royal family can also do it.

Therefore, the cabinet suggested that Wan Chaoxing, the former governor of Zhili and now the general of Jingzhou in charge of the Huguang region, be appointed as the commander of the corps, or the emperor's brother-in-law, Wang Chunying of Xinjun, could be appointed as the commander of the corps.

Wan Chaoxing participated in the pacification of the Shandong rebellion, and also commanded the counterinsurgency work against the Rehe Eight Banners, and later led the Zhili battalion to unconditionally support His Majesty the Emperor's restoration, and participated in the battle against Chen Yonghui's troops, which can be said to be a great achievement.

Although the city of Jingzhou no longer exists, the post of general of Jingzhou is still there, and it is an important position ranked before the governor, so it is in line with the system for Wan Chaoxing to take command of the expedition.

Although King Xinjun has never commanded the army, he is the king of hats, and the brother-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, and after the founding of Prince Yu Duoduo, his status is extremely noble, and there are many Niu Lu in the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai that Shunzhi transferred from the two white flags to Guanwai at the beginning of the country, so King Xinjun as the commander of the army should make these Niu Lu give up rebelling against the imperial court.

But the two candidates were rejected by the Six Emperors.

The reason for vetoing Wan Chaoxing is that this guy is not as good as his six emperors!

The so-called war exploits were completely shared by his six emperors.

It can be said that Wan Chaoxing and the only two guys are the benchmarks that Jia Liu forcibly set up for the sake of the lake to get Qianlong and divide and win over the green camp forces.

Really talk about the battle record, the water is a collapse.

As for Chunying, it is even more impossible for Jia Liu to let this nerd lead the army, even if he is named.

In addition, according to the recent investigation of the Internal Affairs Committee, Chun Ying is not honest.

Whether it was during the reign of Zhang Jia's old wealth, or after the restoration of Qianlong, or entering the Restoration, this king of Xinjun, who gave the outside world a nerdy feeling, had a lot of small actions in private.

If it weren't for Ruxiu's affection, Jia Liu would have beaten Chun Ying a long time ago, and of course it would be impossible for him to take command of the expedition.

The opinion of the military department was in favor of the First Army Admiral Bao Ning.

Judging from the resume, Bao Ning was originally the commander of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, with relatively rich qualifications, and also participated in many wars in the northwest region, in addition, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion has strong combat effectiveness, so the military department believes that Bao Ning can more effectively give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion by serving as the commander of the corps.

was still rejected by Jia Liu.

Because he preferred to make his most loyal chief of staff, Wang Fu, the commander of the corps.

Although Director Wang is actually not good at military command, Director Wang has several advantages that other generals cannot match.

First, Director Wang is a good lubricant, no matter what the contradictions, he can coordinate;

It doesn't matter if it's peaceful, or it's okay to make peace, at least Director Wang can settle all aspects.

Second, Director Wang is not good at fighting, but he is very good at training, and he has single-handedly pulled up the new army in several towns in Zhili, including the military preparation school.

Therefore, Director Wang is very famous and appealing in the Zhili New Army.

Third, although Director Wang's performance in charge of the Jingdong region was not eye-catching, it was also decent, at least suppressing the impatience of the former Gubeikou Admiral Pan Zhishan's department, and also achieved two victories in local battlefields, providing strong conditions for the peaceful liberation of the Beijing division by the army.

Fourth, Director Wang was single-handedly raised by his six emperors, and he can represent the old mountain of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the commander of this corps must be Wang Fu, and Wang Fu has been designated as a general.

Azudu is just a general.

At the beginning, Jia Liu transferred Wang Fu to Zhili to train the new army, which was also considered that Wang Fu was representative.

After a brief welcome ceremony, surrounded by dozens of military and political dignitaries, Jia Liu arrived at the headquarters of the Eastern Advance Corps arranged in Guancheng.

Lao Ji and Queenie also rushed over.

Qianlong was also in the crowd, but he was very low-key and "hidden" in the crowd, looking inconspicuous and inconspicuous.

Except for a few generals who showed surprise when they saw Qianlong, no one else cared.

Because, most people also don't know this abdicated former emperor either.

Before Jia Liu sat down, a guard stepped forward to untie his robe and cloak for him, and after taking off his fox skin jacket and white gloves to keep him warm and cold, Jia Liu motioned for all the civil and military dignitaries to sit down, and said with a smile: "You are very luxuriant, and I really have a cold... Really, your arrival has made me shine here, thank you Dade! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the auditorium, followed by cheerful laughter.

The reason is that the idiom of the emperor seems to be very inappropriate.

The whole atmosphere came alive at once.

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Wang Fu, the commander of the Eastern Advance Corps (Dingbian Deputy General and the rank of Squire of the Military Department), got up and shook his head, and said to the civil and military dignitaries who were laughing:

"Are you laughing at Your Majesty's inappropriate use of dictionaries? Then you don't understand, do you still need to prove Your Majesty's literary talent? Your Majesty, he deliberately used these idioms incorrectly in order to bring us closer to our courtiers!

Your Majesty is to tell us not to be nervous, not to be restrained in front of him, as close as a family as before, Your Majesty has always treated us as relatives, brothers, relatives and friends! ”

“......”

The small auditorium fell silent again, and after a few breaths, both the civil ministers and the military attachés stood up in unison and bowed deeply to His Majesty the Emperor on the stage.

Lao Ji and Queenie looked at each other as they sat down again, and both frowned, because they noticed that each other had an extra white handkerchief to wipe away tears.

"Those who know me, Wang Fu."

Jia Liu smiled, and then his expression suddenly straightened, and with a casual wave of his hand, the giant Liaodong map behind him was slowly opened.

The direction of Shanhaiguan, where the generals were located, was deeply circled with a large red circle.

"Shanhaiguan this place, has always been the place where the soldiers of all dynasties must use soldiers, and here determines the rise and fall of many dynasties, as close as the Ming and Qing dynasties, if it were not for Wu Sangui to open Shanhaiguan, I can successfully enter China!

... Today's Shanhaiguan has become a battleground for soldiers, all because of the stubbornness of the Eight Banners outside the Guan, refusing to obey me, cutting themselves off from the soldiers and civilians in our Guan, and vainly trying to create a Qing Dynasty outside the Guan, which is unbearable or unbearable!

Outside the gate is the land of my great Qing Dynasty, how can I sit back and watch this gang of thieves steal the foundation of my ancestors! Today, I am fortunate to go out here with you and others, and swear to defend the territorial integrity of the Qing Dynasty! ...”

After expressing his determination to resolutely recover the territory outside the Guanwai, Jia Liu's eyes fell on the face of the corps commander Wang Fu, who was sitting in front of him on the left, and his eyes were always drifting back and forth on his face: "Commander Wang, what I want to say has been said, and now it is your turn to tell them about the commander of the army." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Wang Fu got up and bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, he turned to look at everyone, and said: "Recently, there are often people chattering, making me Wang Fu happy, saying that the Eastern Advance Corps is the place where the elite soldiers and strong generals of our Restoration Dynasty gather, and the emperor should send a tiger to take command in the future, even if he can't send a tiger, he must send a dog, who wants to finally choose my Wang Fu, a pig..."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Liu's body on the stage immediately trembled, and he couldn't help touching his head, he couldn't really be the reincarnation of a turtle.

Look at the admirals, army chiefs of staff, and commanders under the command of the Eastern Advance Corps below, with different expressions.

Some people think that this is reasonable, some think it doesn't matter, some think it can't be described like this, in short, there are all kinds of expressions.

In the various expressions of everyone, Wang Fu smiled and said, "But if you want me to say, this is really a compliment to me." Ancient and modern battles, pig tactics have been successfully used by people again and again, in case of attack, they will snuggle their butts against the wall, so that you can't catch the tail, and finally it is helpless, and you can't get a bite of sharp teeth, and you won't let go! So don't underestimate pigs, especially wild boars, which are very ferocious animals! ”

After speaking, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a solemn face: "Tomorrow, the army will go out of the customs, here I, Wang Fu, want to talk to you, the commanders, the commanders of the three schemes, and the adults of the system, when there is no war, you and I Wang Fu can smile as much as you want, even if you scold my mother!"

But as soon as the cannon rang out and the battle began, whoever wanted to disobey my command would blame Wang for hanging his head on this Shanhaiguan! ”

"Good, very energetic!"

Jia Liu got up without hesitation, "What Commander Wang means is what I mean!" Whoever disobeys Commander Wang will disobey me! ”

After saying that, he personally picked up his own sword and walked to Wang Fu and gave him the knife.

"This knife is like me coming in person!"

In just six words, Wang Fu Wushang was given the power.

Wang Fu immediately said that if he did not break Shengjing, he would kill himself with this knife, and he would live up to His Majesty and the Qing Dynasty.

Jia Liu nodded and asked Wang Fu where he was going to attack first.

"Go back to the emperor, take Jinzhou first!"

Wang Fu said that according to intelligence, the bandits outside the Guanxi have built Jinzhou into an impregnable city, and if they want to pass through the western Liaoning corridor to enter Shengjing, they must first take Jinzhou, so our army must occupy Jinzhou at all costs.

"At all costs! Which wreck, military law is engaged in! ”

This sentence was obviously said by Commander Wang to the senior generals of the Corps.

"Okay, you, the commander of the corps, can have this determination, and I won't say much else,"

Jia Liu looked around at the generals and slapped his palm on the table: "I don't want casualties, I only want Jinzhou!" ”
