In the partial hall of Yuanhe Palace, the sunlight spills in through the transparent glass windows, and the warm sun in late winter and early spring shines on the body, making people feel very warm.

The fireplace made after the renovation of the room is made of high-temperature resistant glass, and the wood in the fireplace is burning, and the flame beats in the fireplace, like a beating heart, full of infinite vitality.

And the nascent regime in the hands of Ren Pingsheng will also begin its development, progress, and new life in this side hall.

"To the south of our Wuzhou Province, we are Hegu Province and Jian'an Province.

Among them, the three counties of Wenshan, Guojun and Chenshi in Hegu Province were occupied by Yang Wenyao, the leader of the Muni Sect.

We have analyzed this person, his character is very stubborn, crazy, tyrannical, and it is unlikely that he will be absorbed by us, and his political power is integrated with politics and religion, and it is more difficult for the descendants of the army to be politically reorganized and ideologically transformed.

In this way, the province of the valley can be taken in its entirety. ”

"To the west, it is Huanhua County, Sanjiang County, Dancheng County, Anlan County, and Huagu County in southern Anhui, of which Anlan County and Scraping Huagu County are still in the hands of the Beiwan Group.

However, these two counties, next to Huanhua County, the military arrangement of Northern Anhui is very weak. Now, Beiwan is directly threatened by the Dalu army, and it must not be in conflict with us because of these two counties. ”

"Once we have mastered these places, we will have a bridgehead for the south and west, and with a two-way army, we will pass through the four provinces of Hegu, Jian'an, Quang Nam, and Caiyun all the way to the south.

All the way to the west, from Huanhua County, Sanjiang County, Dancheng County, to the west to Pingshan, Chujiang, Yunjiang and other three provinces. ”

Gao Men held two pens, one red and one blue, and stood in front of the whiteboard where the map was hung, constantly drawing arrows on the map.

The rest of the people listened carefully to what Gao Men said, and occasionally asked questions, and Gao Men was also very skilled in explaining the reasons for the arrangement of the march route from all angles.

Obviously, the General Staff has been deduced many times, and they have already discussed the issues that everyone has come to mind.

When the discussion came to an end, Ren Pingsheng said: "After all these years of development, our efforts have been fruitful.

Our good development has attracted a large influx of people from various provinces, and now we have a population of more than 14 million, 200,000 regular soldiers, and more than 3 million militia.

This is the confidence we have in the face of war. ”

"But once the machine of war is turned on, it is a huge drain, and every cannonball that goes out is forged from silver.

I don't feel distressed about the consumption of silver taels.

However, this war came suddenly, and the external environment has given us no opportunity to continue to work hard and develop our business.

Wuzhou's industrialization has just begun, and in many respects it is still in its infancy, and the serious shortage of productivity has made it difficult for our factories to support a protracted, huge, and large war even if they are running at full capacity.

Therefore, this war must be fast! ”

Ren Pingsheng stood at a higher angle and said to a group of personnel from the Ministry of National Defense.

Liu Qiang nodded: "The prince's consideration is high and complete, and we should also try our best to avoid the huge consumption in the war."

The seven southern provinces, except for some petty rebellions, most of them were still nominally in the hands of the Jing Dynasty.

Now only Jinshan City is Nanjing, which is the Jing Dynasty, and now it is supporting the king of Chujiang to ascend the throne, and there may be some resistance. But the soldiers of Jinshan City have long been rotten to the roots, and they can be dispersed by placing two cannons at the head of the city.

Take the rest of the provinces, it's even easier.

According to our operational plan, basically by July, we will be able to complete all the combat missions, connect the eight southern provinces into a line, and become the most extensive, most populous, and most powerful regime in the land of Middle-earth! ”

After an afternoon of repeated discussions.

In the end, in terms of troops, 200,000 regular soldiers were activated, and the troops were divided into three routes, all the way to the south of Hegu Province, Jian'an Province, Quang Nam Province, and Caiyun Province. The Second Route Army entered southern Anhui, Shanshan Province, Chujiang Province, Yunjiang Province, and finally met in Caiyun Province.

The Third Route Army was stationed in Yuntai County and Dongyang County to guard against the Northern Anhui Group and prevent the Dalu Dynasty army from moving south from Zhongzhou after defeating the Northern Anhui army in Zhongzhou.

The militia, on the other hand, because spring plowing is approaching, and in order not to have a huge impact on social production, they have adopted the method of drawing one out of five to gather nearly 700,000 militiamen. Among them, the 1st and 2nd Route armies were 250,000 militiamen, responsible for cooperating with the regular soldiers and taking over the city.

At the same time, in terms of logistical support, the rear road administration department and the Ministry of Industry department respectively built railways from Sanjiang County in southern Anhui to the south and Gucheng County in Hegu Province to the south. As long as the railways push forward one step further, the pressure on the logistical support of the large army will be reduced, and the weapons, ammunition, grain, grass, food, and medical supplies mobilized in the rear can be sent to the front line in large quantities, quickly, and with low losses.

In addition, the task of finding a suitable location for the construction of a temporary airfield along the railway line also fell on them.

One order after another, issued by the Ministry of National Defense, millions of people immediately went into motion.

The regular soldiers began to act in accordance with military orders.

The militia was also mobilized quickly and fully, saying goodbye to their families, taking weapons and ammunition, boarding a train, and heading for Changguok-gun. At the same time, 200,000 militiamen from Yuntai County, Guyi County, and Dongyang County were organized and stationed in places bordering Zhongzhou and Northern Anhui.

It is said that there are 200,000 regular soldiers and 700,000 militiamen, but in fact, the total number of mobilized people has exceeded one million.

Together with the workers of the logistics, auxiliaries, highway administration and the Ministry of Industry, the total number has already exceeded 2 million.

This will certainly have a certain impact on social productivity, but after investigation and analysis, this impact is still within a tolerable range.

The number of civilian trains has been greatly reduced by the number of trains in the north and south.

"Qin Sheng and Zhou Ming were organized as the First Route Army, Qin Sheng served as the commander of the First Route Army, and Zhou Ming served as the deputy commander."

"Su San, Dalu, organized as the Second Route Army, Su San is the commander, and Dalu is the deputy commander."

"Zheng Fangxing led the Third Route Army, stationed in the northwest of Wuzhou, and served as the commander."

In Wangjiang County, the reorganization of the First Route Army and the Second Route Army was completed, and they began to advance to the south and west respectively.

All of a sudden, all eyes of the world were on this place.

"Killing the enemy and going to the battlefield is to protect the hometown! Kill all the wolves and jackals in the world to welcome the dawn! A good life is in the rear, what a pity for the man's chest! Chest forward to the enemy, behind the father and son! ”

On the train, there was a passionate singing voice, accompanied by the sound of "pants and pants". Young warriors, looking out the window at the strange and fresh scenery.

I still listened to the stories of my predecessors about the battlefield.

Some people are full of yearning for the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, and they want to make meritorious contributions and return to their hometowns.

Some miss their parents, wives and children at home, and feel a little unreal about the upcoming battlefield, and they are also very hesitant.

"Scared?"

Jin Xiaoer, who was leaning against the window glass of the car, heard the question of the senior next to him, and immediately stiffened his neck: "Who is afraid, when I went out, I didn't think about going back alive!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a slap was unceremoniously slapped on the back of his head: "You perverted child, you can say this!"

My father and mother are still at home waiting for you to go back alive, how can you say such frustrating words. ”

"Hahahaha······"

A few veterans next to him saw the recruits being beaten, and immediately laughed very happily: "Okay, Xiao Er, don't be a bull temper, it's not a joke on the battlefield."

Moreover, we are militia, and if we want to fight, we may not be able to take your turn. ”

As they were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and the carriage in front of them became quiet, and a faint voice of speech came from the front.

After a while, an officer with a not very tall stature and dark skin came over with two guards.

"Isn't this Head Zhang?"

"He is the deputy battalion commander of the regular army, and this time he went to the militia battalion and temporarily served as the commander of our Qingshui County Militia Second Regiment."

Someone whispered.

"Alright, it's all quiet!"

The guard shouted, and all that remained in the carriage was the singing on the stereo.

"Brothers, many of us had already met at the time of the reorganization of Wangjiang County.

But in view of the fact that a small number of newcomers have been added later, we will get to know each other again.

My name is Zhang Heizi, and I am the deputy battalion commander of the 30104 Brigade, and I am temporarily appointed to serve as your regiment commander. I am also from a militia battalion, so I am very familiar with the militia training and combat methods, and we will share the glory and disgrace in the next few months, no matter what the situation on the battlefield is.

It may be difficult for me to recognize all of you by name in a short period of time, but you must remember my face carefully. I'll also look at you, let's at least be familiar, don't go to the battlefield where the generals don't know the soldiers, and the soldiers don't know the generals. ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone's faces in earnest.

When they looked at him, everyone could feel in his eyes that the chief in front of them respected them.

Soon, Zhang Heizi led people to the next carriage.

This train, starting from Changguk County, passed through Pyongyuan County and Phong County, and went directly to Gucheng, the provincial capital of Hegu Province.

At the beginning of the year, the railway was officially completed and opened to traffic in Gucheng.

It can be said that after two years of continuous influence and infiltration, River Valley Province has become the backyard of Wuzhou Province. The officials here have long since broken away from the rule of the Jing Dynasty court and actively moved closer to Wuzhou.

This time, he went south to the province of the River Valley, and not a single shot was fired.

When the train stops at Gucheng Station, the "Qi" flag has been planted all over the station, and it can be seen in almost any corner of the line of sight.

And when Qin Sheng led the army to get off the bus, the governor of Hegu Province had already led the officials in the province and was waiting here.

"Welcome to the General!"

Even the governor had the ingenuity to find someone to pull up a large banner and hang it on the street lamp in front of the railway station.

"What did Yang Wenyao say?"

After greeting each other with this Governor Zhao, Qin Sheng stopped talking to this civil official and asked directly.

Governor Zhao sent someone to Yang Wenyao's place to surrender him, but he obviously touched his nose, and he couldn't help shaking his head at this time: "That Yang Wenyao is arrogant and domineering, and he dares to go against the Wuzhou Heavenly Soldiers.

General Qin, I have already prepared a good banquet in the mansion, it is better to ······"

"No need, war marches, everything is busy. And you can't drink alcohol in the army, this is military discipline! ”

Qin Sheng flatly refused.

"Wuzhou Heavenly Soldiers are really strict in military discipline, and they are admired to the fullest."

Governor Zhao hurriedly said.

Originally, he admired Wuzhou and the King of Qi.

After watching the military parade in Wuzhou at the beginning of the year, he had completely fallen to Wuzhou.

Especially after the fall of the Jing Dynasty, turning to Wuzhou has become his only choice.

He hunched his back, stretched his head slightly, pouted his buttocks, and smiled on his face, arching his hand towards Qin Sheng from time to time.

Qin Sheng glanced at him and felt that this Governor Zhao's expression was a little too flattering.

He sent troops this time, not only soldiers, but also more than 100 civilian officials.

Most of these civil officials have been in various departments and localities for more than a year, and some officials have been granted official positions in counties and prefectures, as well as some experienced veteran officials with excellent work styles. They were all transferred during this period of time to be assigned to the administration of the territory fought in the war.

It can be said that among the next conferral of these people, it is also a county order position.

Dialectically, these people have both joys and sorrows.

On the one hand, they can directly confer officials, and on the other hand, they can go to places where they are much poorer than Wuzhou.

It can be said that these people who took the initiative to sign up and serve as officials abroad either have quite strong political aspirations or have very noble feelings for the people.

However, this time Wuzhou's expansion is a bit big.

There are more than 50 counties in seven provinces and more than 300 counties, and these people are not enough.

When he arrived, he learned that the entire management system of the province of the valley would remain the same for the time being, and that no militia would be stationed.

"We will build a military base here, and the supplies from the rear will continue to be transported here, and at the same time, you will be responsible for requisitioning 100,000 people to help our people build railways.

But do not delay spring ploughing production, if you feel that there is difficulty, the number of personnel can be appropriately reduced, but not less than 60,000. ”

Qin Sheng and Governor Zhao said.

"No problem, I received the message a few days ago. At present, people have been dispatched, and people are being requisitioned and dispatched in various counties, counties, and villages, and several groups of people have been sent to those who are close, and there are already more than 20,000 people, and the number will be able in another half a month. ”

Governor Zhao hurriedly said.

"Hmm."

Qin Sheng nodded, chatting with the enthusiastic Governor Zhao for a while.

The army, under the command of Zhou Ming, acted quickly. No

A large number of vehicles, coming out of the train cars.

There were also quite a few tractors, artillery, and a handful of tanks.

The artillery was disassembled, and it was here that the assembly had to be completed.

Sappers, not far from the railway station, have already begun to build camps.

The army will be reorganized here for a few days, at least until all the regular troops and armaments are in place, and then they will continue to send troops south.

And in Chenshi County, south of Gucheng, among the county capitals, beauties are still singing and dancing.

The curtain and tulle can't hide the looming carcass of the beauty.

Yang Wenyao drank a glass of fruit wine, his face flushed, and his expression was a little crazy.

"Sect Master, the Wuzhou soldiers have arrived in Gucheng, and the number of people is all over the mountains, and there is no edge in sight."

Someone came to report.

"Get out!"

Yang Wenyao's face changed, and he threw the wine glass in his hand towards the comer, smashing it on the ground with a "clang" sound.

"Ahh

In the exclamation, the dancers fell to their knees because they were frightened, trembling and clinging to the ground.

"Don't stop! Then the music and the dance! ”

Yang Wenyao raised his hand: "What are you afraid of, we have the blessing of our Heavenly Father, we are invulnerable, we are invulnerable, we are immortal, what are we afraid of?" Really, jump, dance, ······."

As he spoke, he stood up, swaying with the strength of the wine, shaking his hands, swinging his waist and hips, and in the middle of the hall, shaking his long hair.

The sound of silk and bamboo rises again, the waist of the beauty dances, the red sleeves are clear, the singing voice is like a clear spring, like a pearl falling on a jade plate.

"If you get it, you will sing and you will rest, you will be sad and hateful, you will have wine today, you will be drunk today, you will be sad tomorrow, you will be sad tomorrow······"

Several military attachés in the hall looked at each other, and they didn't know where to go for a while.
