Chapter Ninety-Nine: Pushing the Boat with the Current
The thirteen standard teams of the Chinese army, including two full battalions, 14,000 elite soldiers, counting the guards who served as miscellaneous soldiers, the total strength reached more than 18,000 people.
Each standard is full of numbers, the main force of the three patrols of the cadets, the two patrols of the miscellaneous auxiliary soldiers, on the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, the miscellaneous servants are still above the cadets, but the lack of military camp training, mutual coordination and cooperation is not enough, but there are noble children who are conscripted into the army, and there is no shortage of middle and lower-level officers. The nobles have families and businesses, and the vast majority of people can rest assured that their loyalty to the empire is enough, even if they may not be sincerely loyal to the county lord Duguying, no one dares to openly confront the royal prestige, the old king can send heavy troops to protect the county lord, and acting rashly before the situation is clear will only empty his own reputation.
Ling Huqing had a keen insight into the situation, seized the favorable factors, and suggested that Mei Ying reorganize the army with lightning speed, so as not to have too many dreams at night, so that the enemy has more time to calmly install his eyes and ears.
"County Lord, our most advantageous factor is that the name is justified, the prince is the regent of the country, you are the only heir of His Royal Highness, and you have the Hidden Dragon Order in hand, and there is no suspicion of privately seizing military power in the war. While the war is still a few months away, during this time the officers will be decisively replaced, the cadet corps will be firmly controlled, and the battle for the throne will be fought in the same room, no matter how much you don't want it to be staged, there are few smooth transitions to the throne for thousands of years. ”
Gao Yuan went to chase the transport team, and the five sisters gathered together again, and now the arrow is on the line, so that Huqing no longer shy away from it, and analyze the situation for the four sisters.
"People's hearts think that women are not enough to govern the country, and there is a reason for it, and if there is a woman's benevolence in a high position, it will be a death at least and a broken family, and at worst it will endanger the country's society, and the political situation will be turbulent, and the people will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment. If we want to achieve great things, our main enemy is not the opponent who competes for the throne, but whether we can adapt to the emperor and the general, otherwise even if we succeed in the throne, it will inevitably fall into power for a long time, once we let the hero run the country, the royal family is in danger, and the empire will inevitably have a civil war. ”
Mei Ying's eyebrows raised: "You go down directly, don't provoke the law, the county lord will not be fooled." ”
"The county lord's sister clearly distinguishes between loyalty and treachery, good and evil, and the little sister is presumptuous and bluntly said, if you encounter mediocrity, it is important to keep your head, first there is a Ming Jun, and then there are loyal ministers, and the ancients did not deceive me. ”
Mei Ying was speechless, her heart was quite useful, Yu Wenjie pouted: "I think you will be a hero in the future, you will be a hero in the future, you will be cut with a knife to prevent future troubles, and you will talk about flattery in a series, I didn't see it before, or the ghost will worship you." ”
"I agree with this, the fourth sister is too scheming, and she is careful not to get married. ”
Yan Ning followed and joked, admiring that he really had a little more precaution in his heart, Ling Huqing was the youngest, but he saw the overall situation of the empire the most, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a scheming, I really don't know how the Minister of Criminal Affairs used to cultivate such a demon, and unknowingly became the brains of the five sisters.
"She really wants to calculate you, how can she deliberately show her feet. Qing'er, don't pay attention to them, go on, listen to your words, the eldest sister has benefited a lot. ”
Ling Huqing proudly raised her small fist to demonstrate, Yu Wenjie turned her head and didn't look at it, with Hua Yue's protection, who dared to bully her, she was deceived along the way, and she was not allowed to take advantage of her sisters.
"Xiangyun's two full battalions, can no longer be left untouched, the county king clearly said that we will be replaced, then push the boat down the river, and transfer all the middle and lower-level officers, including outstanding students, one can not stay in the standard camp, they are all the objects of the county king's mansion, and now we don't have time to screen them one by one, we would rather wronged a large number of people, and we can't let one person slip through the net. ”
Yuwen Jie shook her head: "Screening, no need! befriending the king of the county, it is regarded as betraying the royal family, all the heads are cut off, and I will do it." ”
"No!"
The four sisters objected in unison, Yan Ning's voice was particularly loud, and he reproached dissatisfiedly: "If you befriend the nobles of the border counties, cut off your heads, that's good, cut down the high wall first, he has a good relationship with Prince Zhuo, and he also has dealings with Yanhou Mansion." ”
"I didn't mean that, it was-" Yu Wenjie wanted to explain, Mei Ying smiled and cleared the siege: "She's playing on the topic, hehe, Qing'er, I don't object to substitution, killing people is not feasible, what are your clever plans?"
"If it weren't for the battle, I would also agree with Jie'er's opinion and kill a hundred. As he spoke, he looked at Yan Ning, smiled and continued: "Courtesy communication, although it is not a violation of national law, but the Royal Secret Agent Association has recorded that the outstanding students of the standard battalion will all be officers in the future, and they will have personal friends with the king of the county, and their loyalty is questionable." I'm not afraid that the second sister will be angry, I have Gao Yuan's file in my hand, annoying the county lord to send him to prison at any time, valuing personal feelings over national law, and the ironclad evidence is like a mountain that cannot be quibbled. ”
This made Hua Yue angry: "You dare to charge Xiao Yuanzi with the whole crime, believe it or not, I will burn down the intelligence team!" Mei Ying also looked at her suspiciously, making the fox clear and clear, this is not asking for trouble, even if you are loyal to your duty, there is no need to say it to make people suspicious.
"Everyone has the dossier, the eldest sister and I are no exception, the Ming people don't say secret words, the secret agents of the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are the ones who monitor the surface, and the materials that the royal secret agents have, except for His Majesty the King, I am afraid that even the prince and the county lord do not know. This has nothing to do with trust or not, in order to maintain the rule of the royal family and maintain the political stability, monitoring and restraint are indispensable, it is an imperial iron law that cannot be provoked, and it is also the bottom line of the royal family's tolerance for the aristocracy.
Linghu Qingyi was stern, and her words were solemn, just like her beautiful face, no one was allowed to despise and blaspheme, Hua Yue and Yan Ning were very angry, even if they had no way to take her, they told the open secret, and the truth was so angry that they couldn't change the result.
"At this time, you can't kill it, the entire nine battalions of Xiangyun County, it is not clear how many families have completely fallen to the county king, a few swaying from side to side, and there will be a mutiny immediately after killing, don't forget that there are more child camps in the rear, it is not difficult to quell the rebellion, but the relationship with the county king is difficult to ease, and it will make the students suspicious, this battle is lost before it is fought. ”
"You can't kill it, it's even more of a hidden danger to stay, you just say it, what should I do?" Yu Wenjie figured out the truth that he couldn't kill, and urged impatiently.
"I just said that I want to push the boat down the river, and the county king will let us change people, so good, the county lord will write a letter of recommendation for each of them in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Jicuiguan Xuebing, and promote them to one level and send them to the Xiangyun army as liaisons. If the king of the county does not kill, he will leave a witness of the person who tried to control the standard camp, and if he kills it, the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, who will dare to accept him again. ”
The four Mei Ying sisters frowned and thought, the way is good, push the boat down the river and borrow a knife to kill people, but there are also loopholes and risks, if the two standard battalions see through the strategy, will they take risks at the end of the road, and become horse bandits in the grassland, so they will also divide troops to exterminate, adding difficulties to the city-building strategy, the key is that time does not allow, the army is dispatched, Sunset and Cuihua will immediately organize the army to meet the battle when they get the news, and they will not sit back and wait for the soldiers to build a fortress to defend according to the danger.
"I'm afraid that there will be an accident ahead, the transport team is probably in trouble, use this as an excuse to convene a meeting of the inspectors of the standard teams, and the soldiers will not detain the officers of the two standard battalions, and the students will be disrupted and scattered, and they will be incorporated into other standard teams, we are forming a corps, and the personnel transfer is frequent and normal, although it will be a taboo for the soldiers to change in battle, but it is worth the risk, and the strategy formulated by Gao Yuan is to build the city and hold on, and not go out of the city to meet the chaos of the battle, and it is just right to screen during the defense of the city. ”
Yu Wenjie was the first to speak, Ling Huqing agreed, Yan Ning added: "There must also be a defensible reason to disrupt the scattered student corps, I think it is an excuse to use the fact that the standard teams are far away and are not familiar with the geographical customs of the grassland. ”
"No, two full battalions of 7,000 people, no matter how they are deployed, they will gather into a group, which will affect other standard teams, and confuse the army's morale before the war. ”
Hua Yue resolutely disagreed, and the sisters thought about it, the total strength was only 18,000 people, and 7,000 people would meet no matter how they were disrupted, Yu Wenjie's method would not work.
"Eldest sister, listen to me. On the soldier's book, Tao Luo Yu Wenjie is an expert among the five, and the head of the soldier on paper is: "The snake can't do without a head, and the soldier will mess up without a general." The disruption is not implemented to everyone, the two standard battalions really have anti-heart students, only the three patrols directly cultivated by the standard battalion, the county king will choose them if he wants to win them over, and the sixty people will be assigned to the credible standard team, and the whole system will be incorporated into it, and the students will not be suspicious, and the auxiliary soldiers of the standard nobles will be exchanged, and the reason for the second sister will be used. Replace the patrol commander first, and then let each standard secretly adjust the captain later, even if it is chaotic, it can be eliminated in an instant. ”
Hua Yue thought seriously for a while and nodded in agreement, and slapped her on the head: "In the future, if you finish your words in one breath, I will worry in vain, and I will learn from Qing'er." Mei Ying, do you think it's feasible?"
"The two captains are in high positions, not to mention the force, and it is not far from reaching the martial arts, if the troops are opposed in public, none of us are opponents, how to deal with the chaos caused by the troops?"
Mei Ying already had an idea in her heart, and deliberately put the question on the table, wanting to see the reaction of the sisters, Yu Wenjie immediately said: "Ambush the archers outside the tent, dare to oppose the random arrow shooting, ah-" Let Hua Yue slap again, and hurriedly changed his words: "I understand, you can't kill, what do you say?"
Hua Yue and Yan Ning ignored her and walked to the side, making Hu Qing blink and want to slip away, so that Mei Ying stopped: "You claim to have endless tricks, think of a way!"
"County lord, the king has orders, the courtiers obey, no smarter than His Majesty the King, the eldest sister and the second sister don't speak, don't embarrass me, I'm cowardly, I will only obey orders, I have no idea. ”
A sentence that is more clever than His Majesty the King made Mei Ying's face blush, except for Yu Wenjie who was still ignorant, these three people saw through her thoughts, and they were reluctant to speak out and carry the black pot.
"You still claim to be loyal ministers, and none of you have come forward to be wicked, and you are really not good sisters. Mei Ying feigned anger and vented two sentences, and looked at Yu Wenjie: "It's still Jie'er reliable, you go and send someone to give an order, let the inspectors of each standard battalion come to the Chinese army to discuss matters, and order the rear battalion to prepare a banquet, and after the meeting, the county lord will entertain everyone, and the right is to mobilize before the war." ”
Yu Wenjie is not good at conspiracies, but people are extremely smart, and if he praises him plainly, it must be no good thing, so he turned his head and ran aside: "You asked Qing'er to send someone to give an order, I have not been very comfortable in the past two days, and I can't see the wind." Linghu Qingren flashed to the door of the tent: "The county lord of the big event personally came forward to show solemnity, I went to check the sentry." ”
