I want to be emperor

Chapter 108
"It's not easy for our rural protection army to create today's foundation. In the past, General Li led more than a hundred robes to fight to the death, which created an opportunity for us to break through the siege and go south. To fill the storehouses with food and fill the camps with soldiers."

"Afterwards, our soldiers fought to the death and went through Songshan and Songjiazhuang. There were two major battles and dozens of small battles. This established the situation of our rural protection army today!"

"I will absolutely not allow anyone to spoil the great situation of my Home Guard Army!"

"Let's not allow the so-called officers, soldiers and thieves to destroy the stable life of tens of thousands of people in the eight townships in the north and south under the rule of our rural protection army!"

After Luo Zhixue said something, he looked at the crowd again, and saw that everyone was still wearing the military uniform with a right lapel and a slim fit, which was very different from the military uniform of the Ming army. They all sat upright and looked up, listening to Luo Zhixue's lecture quietly. , Luo Zhixue suddenly had a feeling.

I am not an ancient rebel leader, but a modern warlord.

This sudden feeling even made Luo Zhixue stop the interest of continuing to gossip...

After subduing his desire to perform a little, Luo Zhixue turned his attention to An Yongduo: "The Staff Office strengthened its investigation of news and dispatched more cavalry. It is necessary to know the number of troops dispatched by Chen Yongfu in the first place, including the number of soldiers and cavalry. , How many artillery pieces!"

"At the same time, immediately formulate a detailed plan for the battle."

"Brother Huang, you have a deep understanding of Chen Yongfu and other officers and soldiers, so you should give more advice when formulating a battle plan."

Er Yongduo and Huang Guangmao, the staff from the staff office, immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your subordinates obey!"

Then Luo Zhixue turned his attention to Wang Dazhuang again: "Brother Wang, the Fourth Infantry Battalion must speed up the training progress, and must complete the training of all tactical subjects within half a month. When the corresponding ordnance arrives, I want the Fourth Infantry Battalion to have combat effectiveness. "

Wang Dazhuang also stood up and said: "Don't worry, General, I am good at training soldiers, and I will definitely train those little bastards when I go back. Within half a month, our Fourth Infantry Battalion will definitely complete all tactical training."

Luo Zhixue nodded slightly, motioned Wang Dazhuang to sit down, and then turned his head to look at Hu Hongzhuo, the director of the Ordnance Department: "The Ordnance Department must cooperate with the Industrial Department. I want to see that all the equipment of the Fourth Infantry Battalion is in place within half a month." .”

As early as when Luo Zhixue was a military adviser, Hu Hongzhuo, who had been working under Luo Zhixue for a long time and was in charge of ordnance and other affairs, also stood up like everyone else and said, "Your subordinate obeys orders."

Passing by this person, Luo Zhixue looked at Yu Xiujie, the director of the logistics department again: "I don't think I need to say much about the logistics. You, an old baggage man, know the importance of logistics very well. I only want to make one request. The various materials needed must be delivered to the front-line ministries on time and in sufficient quantities, and there must be no situation where food is piled up like a mountain in the rear and the soldiers in the front are hungry."

When Luo Zhixue was still a military adviser, Yu Xiujie followed Luo Zhixue to deal with logistics and transportation issues.

This person dare not say that he has any talent for logistics affairs, but his experience can be regarded as tempered. He immediately stood up and said:

"My logistics department will immediately start recruiting and organizing a new transport battalion, and then urgently transport a batch of military rations to the southern front for emergency needs. At the same time, we will also increase the transport force from Songshan Village to Liqingdian, and increase strategic reserves. No matter what , my logistics department must ensure the supply of food, grass and ammunition to the frontline ministries.”

After Luo Zhixue listened, he nodded slightly!

He is still very relieved of Xiu Jie, this person has been in charge of logistics and transportation affairs for a long time, and he has never made a mistake.

Especially after they conquered Songjiazhuang before, they needed to urgently transfer a large amount of materials in Songjiazhuang back to Songshan Village in a short period of time. Nothing went wrong.

Luo Zhixue still has relatively high expectations for him.

Yu Xiujie, Director of the Logistics Department, and Hu Hongzhuo, Director of the Ordnance Department, are not actually old thieves.
They were originally refugees who fled to the mountains to survive, because they knew some common words, so these two were also the first batch of civilian talents recruited by the rural protection army.

In order to recruit them smoothly in the early days, Luo Zhixue paid them quite well, not to mention their own rations, and they would also be given extra food so that they could support their families.

In addition to supporting himself, it is rare for a thief to support his family as well.

Basically, the treatment is only for senior talents, such as senior technical talents such as the three fathers and sons of Song Tiejiang, or talents with a certain level of education.

These two people have been working under Luo Zhixue's command since they became thieves, assisting Luo Zhixue in handling camp affairs, one is in charge of ordnance affairs, and the other is in charge of food and grass affairs.

After Luo Zhixue became a general, these two people also began to take charge of their own affairs, and served as the directors when Luo Zhixue formally established the Ordnance Department and the Logistics Department.

These two people are actually Luo Zhixue's superiors, and they are one of the few people in the rural protection army who can read and write.

In addition, he has been working under Luo Zhixue all the time, so it is only natural that Luo Zhixue continues to reuse him.

It's also interesting to say that in the large system of the Rural Protection Army, in fact, the main elite forces, especially the talents worthy of Luo Zhixue's trust and attention, are basically in the military system.

He has only two half-scholars who can do their own thing, one is the director of the logistics department, the other is the director of the ordnance department, plus Er Yongduo, the chief of the staff who was born in the army, and Luo Zhixue. His direct descendants Huang Dingquan, Huang Chengyong and others are all in the army.

But the internal affairs system is much worse. Now it seems that there are many talents in the internal affairs system, but in fact, the people in charge of many places are all illiterate bandit soldiers, and the ones who really do things are actually Guo Quanshu. , Huang Chengxuan, a scholar who was forcibly arrested.

And some of the half-baked scholars recruited, many of them are really lacking in ability, and some have not yet grown up.

Therefore, the so-called civil servants in the internal affairs and townships are actually not very good...

It's just that Luo Zhixue is not dissatisfied with this. Now the problem is to solve the problem of availability. Later, when there are more talents under his command, he will slowly select trustworthy and reused talents.

Anyway, as long as the army is in hand, he is not afraid that the so-called civil servants in the internal affairs will turn upside down, and they can just replace them whenever they find problems.

In the final analysis, the Township Protection Army is a pure anti-thief team, and the army is the core. As for the civil servants in the internal affairs and townships, they all serve the army, and their most important task is not to govern the local area. , but to protect the various needs of the army.

For example, in the internal affairs, Luo Zhixue paid the most attention to the Grain Collection Office. The sole purpose of this organization was to collect enough taxes to meet military needs.

There is also the township and village administrative systems supported and established by Guo Quanshu of the Civil Affairs Office. The biggest task of these local administrative agencies is to ensure the smooth development of grain collection.

As for other matters, that's all by the way...

In an emergency meeting, Luo Zhixue assigned relevant tasks to the Staff Office, Logistics Office, and Ordnance Office, and asked the Fourth Infantry Battalion to speed up training.

But he did not make detailed military mobilization arrangements on the spot.

After all, Chen Yongfu hadn't even dispatched troops yet, so he didn't even know how many enemies were coming from, what direction they were coming from, and how many routes they were coming from.

In addition, after going through some military discussions, Luo Zhixue has basically finalized the follow-up strategic direction, which is mainly to delay time.

It has been delayed, and it will be delayed until May at the earliest, until the sixth battalion and two outposts are all capable of combat.

It would be best if it could be delayed until June or even later, when he completes the Nine Battalion and Three Outposts plan.

During this process, even if it was not necessary, Luo Zhixue did not plan to seriously damage Chen Yongfu's troops, let alone wipe out Chen Yongfu's troops, even if he had the strength to do so for the time being.

Because the annihilation of Chen Yongfu's troops now seems to have killed an opponent, but it will attract more powerful and more officers and soldiers.

This is not worth the candle.

Luo Zhixue dared to guarantee that once he annihilated Chen Yongfu's troops, the Ming Dynasty would definitely mobilize the main force to encircle and suppress him.

Even if you don't consider the main force of the Ming army who is fighting in Henan and other places, that is, the main forces of the Central Plains armies and the Shaanxi ministries led by Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng from Yunyang must be considered.

Lu Xiangsheng, who is now the governor of Xunyang, is a ruthless character!
This man is good at training soldiers, fighting in the field, running raids, attacking camps, and governing places...

In the evaluations given to him by many outsiders, there are a series of many "good" words, from which we know that this person is not easy to mess with.

Ever since Lu Xiangsheng brought the reorganized Tianxiong Army to the northern Shunde area to fight against the northward thieves, after this small test of skills, Lu Xiangsheng quickly became the most outstanding and even the most famous general in the Ming court in the past two years. Soldiers and civil servants.

After Chongzhen served as the governor of Yunyang for six years, Lu Xiangsheng faced the many main forces of the rebel army who were entrenched in Yunyang at the beginning, and he still couldn't take care of himself with the main force of the rebel army fighting with officers and soldiers.

In the end, the rebel army suffered heavy losses in Yunyang, and the remaining remnants were forced to flee back to the depths of the Qinling Mountains to lick their wounds.

And if you just look at the series of battles that Lu Xiangsheng commanded in Yunyang, especially the various vocabularies such as running raids, surprise attacks, and winning more with less, you might think that he is commanding a group of elites who have experienced battles, are well-equipped, and have high morale. teacher.

But in fact, among the tens of thousands of troops under his command at the beginning, except for the [-] pacesetters who were combatable soldiers he brought over from the north to take up the post, the rest were all miscellaneous local troops.

That is to say, among Deng Qi's five thousand Sichuan soldiers, there are still some soldiers who can fight, and the rest of the Ming army are all war scum.

A veritable mob.

For a general, it is not a skill to lead a group of elites to win a battle, it is just his job.

But it is a great skill for a general to lead a group of five scumbags to win the battle, and to fight so beautifully.

Naturally, Luo Zhixue would not despise Lu Xiangsheng like this.

After all, these are the only few generals in the Ming court who can fight!
