Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 234 To have an invincible and large conquest army

"The commander-in-chief said that as long as the team with the red flag is planted, it is our own people. Our guerrilla unit is besieged by our own people outside, of course it is impossible to sit idly by.

It's just that I didn't expect that it happened to be you!This little General Cao is too courageous!How dare you besiege our conscript army!This matter must not be left alone!
This Datong is a good place. Every time we pass by here, we are very greedy.The environment here is much better than our Xuanfu Town, and it extends in all directions, which is definitely a place for military strategists to contend for.

Also, there is a lot of charcoal here.Mr. Zhao likes charcoal the most. "

Jiqian Balabala said with excitement.

"Then take down Datong!" Niu Dali's eyes were bloodshot, "Liu Fei just escaped from the strong place, Cao Bianjiao brought people here to meet him, if you say they didn't hook up, then you've seen hell! How dare you instigate us If you don’t give them a little bit of flair for those who conquer the army, they will treat our conscript army as a persimmon in the future!”

"What? Liu Fei rebelled?" Ji Qian was taken aback.

"Yeah!" Niu Dali nodded, "He took the members of the Ninth Legion and defected collectively!"

"He is such a daring dog! How dare he rebel against Mr. Zhao!" Ji Qian was furious when he heard that, and flew into a rage.

He and Liu Fei don't have as deep a relationship as Niu Dali and Liu Fei.

However, his loyalty to Zhao Cheng is no worse than Niu Dali. In terms of loyalty, he is definitely number one, and no one dares to compete with him.

He was originally Luo Sanpao's subordinate, and he was injured in a battle with the Qiangdi Army. It was originally a minor injury, but the bullet could not be removed, the wound became inflamed, and he was about to die when it turned serious.

It was Zhao Cheng who found someone to perform an operation on him and saved his life.

Therefore, Ji Qian is grateful to Zhao Cheng and vows to be Zhao Cheng's dog!Whoever Zhao Cheng asked him to bite, he would bite.

Now, someone betrayed Zhao Cheng, how could Ji Qian accept it?
"I must have killed this Liu Fei himself! Who is your lord? The reincarnation of a god! He is not satisfied with being able to follow lord Zhao, and he dared to betray him!" Ji Qian's expression was ferocious.

He often told people that his Ji Qian was Master Zhao's dog, and he would bite whoever Master Zhao told him to bite.

Liu Fei betrayed Mr. Zhao, which is betraying his bottom line.

If Liu Fei was in front of him, Ji Qian would want to bite him to death!
"Bite them! Absolutely don't let them escape!"

The two teams of Niu Dali and Ji Qian joined together, with a total of [-] riders, they were mighty and mighty, staring at Liu Fei all the way, chasing after him.

In the direction of Yuzhou City, the First Army and the Eighth Army joined forces to easily defeat Cao Bianjiao's servants, and took advantage of the trend to easily occupy Weizhou City.

Cao Bianjiao was shot in the abdomen, but fortunately he did not hurt his vitals. After being captured, he was treated by a military doctor, and his life was not in danger.

Zhao Gang discussed with Gu Eryi, Zhao Gang went back to the strong ground in person, reported the news to the general, and asked for instructions on the next battle plan.

After leaving two detachments to garrison Weizhou City, Gu Er took the main force of the First Army and Eighth Army and chased after Niu Dali and Ji Qian.

Niu Dali and Ji Qian combined only had 300 people.

Further on, there is a wild and chaotic mountain and Shaanxi region. There are not only a few large armies of the imperial court, but also countless rogues, and refugees everywhere.

The situation is extremely complicated.

With a mere 300 people, coupled with insufficient logistical supplies, it is easy to suffer.

Strongly.

Zhao Cheng was very calm after seeing Zhao Gang and hearing the report on the battle situation in Weizhou.

Liu Fei escaped.

This was within his expectation.

Liu Fei was the first to follow him, and his fighting and psychological qualities are very high.

The Ninth Legion has three horses and one man, and has the support of Fan Yongdou, the leader of Shanxi merchants. It can be said that it has the right time, place and people.

After escaping to Shanxi, Liu Fei was swimming in the sea.

It is very difficult to catch him back.

Zhao Cheng walked up and down with his arms behind his back.

A group of high-ranking generals in gray military uniforms were sitting on stools with teacups in front of them.

The whole room was filled with a strong smell of smoke, as if it was on fire.

"With regard to the collective defection of the Ninth Army, we must conduct an in-depth study and introspection in the entire army. This kind of incident is a great awakening for our entire army! What we have to do, It’s about how to prevent similar things from happening in the future.”

Zhao Cheng's tone was heavy.

He was also very surprised by the defection of the Ninth Army.

He never thought that Liu Fei would betray him.

"The gentry group is our class enemy. One of the direct reasons for Liu Fei's defection this time is the temptation of the gentry group. According to the information we have now, it is Fan Yongdou, a big Jin merchant and traitor, who lured and corrupted Liu Fei and his men.

The Fan family, a Shanxi merchant, made their fortune by reselling grain and iron utensils.For so many years, they have been engaged in the border trade prohibited by the imperial court, selling the scarce grain and ironware of the Ming Dynasty to the grasslands and selling them to Jian slaves.

They even took the opportunity to sell all the information about our Daming to Jiannu.They betrayed Ming Dynasty and us Han people. This is an unforgivable crime!
Now, money and beauty are used to corrupt the soldiers of our conquest army, causing the evil consequences of the Ninth Legion's rebellion.

I officially declare that the Fan family of Shanxi merchants is the enemy of our conquest army and our key target!From now on, the world is so big that there will be no room for the Fan family.

Wherever our expeditionary army went, all the property of the Fan family would be confiscated. All the owners of the Fan family, who were related to the betrayal of the Ninth Legion, would be executed; anyone related to the slave trade would be executed.

All in all, Fan's family has to go through the strict review of the Anti-Administrative Committee.Any problems should be dealt with seriously.Even if there are no problems, labor reform must be carried out.Let them get close to the people and learn from the people in their work! "

Zhao Cheng had no good feelings for the Fan family at all.

Now that the defection of the Ninth Army has happened again, I hate it even more.

"Not only the Fan family, but among the Shanxi merchants, there are many people who do business with Jiannu and betray the country's assets. Such people should be labeled as villain models, and they should be severely punished!

Those who do bad things will be punished; those who harm the people will not end well.In this way, the society will be more harmonious.If people who have done bad deeds have been rich and honored for generations and left behind a good name, then who is willing to do good deeds?What is fair in this society? "

Zhao Cheng said.

"Yes! The commander-in-chief is right! Those businessmen dare to play dirty tricks with us, we must kill them!"

"Whoever dares to provoke our conscript army must not let them have a good end!"

"..."

All the senior generals were filled with righteous indignation.

They are all suffocating too!
Ever since following the commander-in-chief, he has won consecutive battles.

But someone was playing dirty tricks behind their backs and buying off the soldiers they guarded.

Fortunately, Liu Fei was not stationed on a strong land, but on the western front of Dongcheng Coal Mine.

Otherwise, they would be fighting outside, and the lair would be stolen... Then it would be over!

If this hidden danger is not completely cut off, who can go on expeditions and fight with peace of mind?
"Everyone, don't worry! Whoever dares to provoke our conscript army must be prepared to be smashed by the iron fist of our conscript army!"

Zhao Cheng waved his fist, full of strength.

"Another important reason for the defection of the Ninth Army is the lack of faith and the failure to accept the ideas of the Advanced Society. The ideological committee of our Advanced Society has not had time to enter the Ninth Army. If there is an ideological committee, it will definitely not This kind of thing happens.

Therefore, next, we must strengthen the ideological construction of each team.First of all, the will of the ideological committee must be firm.Then, we must vigorously develop the members of the Pioneer Society and mobilize outstanding and advanced fighters to join the Pioneer Society.

We must ensure that each small flag must have a member of the pioneer club.Members of our pioneering clubs must have the spirit of enduring hardship first and enjoying later.The ideological committee should often organize pioneer members to study and strictly control the ideological trends of the soldiers. "

The senior generals present here are all members of the Xianxing Society.

Zhao Cheng talked eloquently about the importance of members of the Pioneer Club to team building.

In his view, there are no members of the Advance Society, no ideological committee, and this is the fundamental reason why the Ninth Army defected.

Although Zhao Cheng attached great importance to the education of loyalty when he was training soldiers in a strong place.

In terms of training methods, he borrowed a lot from Yuan Shikai's small station training.

Yuan Shikai was not highly rated in history.

However, his method of training soldiers is extremely worthy of recognition.

In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, he trained a powerful Beiyang Army.

After the split of the Beiyang Army, various warlords were formed, which profoundly affected the country for decades.

But small station training also has disadvantages.

Before Yuan Shikai died, all the factions of the Beiyang Army began to treat him positively and negatively. This is the disadvantage that the old warlords could not overcome.

Because they lack faith.

Therefore, all the legions of the conquest army seemed to be loyal to Zhao Cheng, but after being isolated for a period of time, the Ninth Army was corrupted by the gentry group and defected.

However, after the ideological committee is assigned to the team, plus the development of pioneer members in each small banner, and at the same time strengthening the study and ideological construction of the pioneer members, these things can be perfectly avoided from happening.

Such a team is a pure team.

"You took advantage of the trend to win Weizhou. You did a good job in this regard."

Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Gang and praised him.

"Thank you, Master!"

After being affirmed by the Marshal, Zhao Gang let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his face beamed with joy.

On the premise that there was no direct order from the commander-in-chief, they took advantage of the situation to win Yuzhou.

Now, instead of blaming them, the commander-in-chief praised them, making them feel that the risk was worth it.

This feeling of being affirmed is so good!
"It should be me thanking you! It should be our conscripting army and the military government thanking you! Because the correct decision you made has maintained the majesty of our conscripting army and won benefits for our military government.

Hit with one punch to avoid a hundred punches!Our conquest army is to make people tremble with fear, reverence and awe at the mention of it!This is the style of a strong army!
If any cat or dog dares to attack our conscript army, then what's the point of our victorious battles on the battlefield?
We want people to know that our conscript army is not to be messed with, and once we are messed with, things will end badly!We not only want to win Weizhou, we also want to win the whole of Datong.

As for Liu Fei and Fan Yongdou, if they want to run, let them run, and don't rush to catch up.Wherever they run, our conscripts will follow.Anyone who dares to take them in and provide any help, even a sip of water, is the enemy of our expeditionary army.

Our expeditionary army treats the enemy as cold as winter, don't be polite, don't hesitate, we must destroy them and occupy their territory!
Anyone who offends our conscript army has only one end, and that is destruction! "

After Zhao Cheng's words, the blood of all the senior generals was boiling with enthusiasm, and all of them looked at him with admiration.

"In order to do this, we must have an invincible army. Our army is now equipped with enough advanced equipment, well-trained enough, and rich enough combat experience. The only shortcoming is that the number is too small.

Therefore, we have to expand the army.I now officially announce that the large-scale expansion of our expeditionary army has kicked off.

In the first step, our First to Eighth Army Corps, as well as the quasi-Tenth Army Corps, will expand to 5 troops.The quota, I gave it to you.The means of military expansion, you can use them individually.

But there is a principle, that is, the ideological committee must be well equipped.How many qualified ideological committees can form how many teams.The other thing is that the members of the pioneer club must develop to Xiaoqi.

The third point is that all military officers, from the small flag officer to the top, must go to the Qiangdi Military Academy or the Hunhe Military Academy to study full-time.Official appointments can only be made after full-time study.Otherwise, the appointment in a state of emergency can only be a temporary officer.

If these three hard targets are not met, you will not be able to expand your military! "

The crusade army is indeed eager to expand the army, but Zhao Cheng can't just flood it because of this.

All the senior generals were extremely excited when they heard this.

Each legion has a quota of 5 people!
Before that, the Third Army Corps stationed in Guihua City was ordered to expand its army to 5 people.

The other legions have guessed that sooner or later they too will get the indicators.

Unexpectedly, this day came so quickly.

A large army of 5 people!

Exciting and thrilling to think about.

Next, is the formulation of specific details.

Nine legions, each with 5 men.

If the expansion of the army is completed, the number of regular troops in the expeditionary army will jump to 45.

There is also the Guard Corps.

The Guards Legion must be the strongest of all legions.Zhao Cheng plans to grow to 10 people.

That's 55 people.

It is very difficult to support such a large number of troops under the current productivity conditions.

In the end, Zhao Cheng could only choose to develop infantry.

With 50 cavalry, the logistical and financial pressures are too great, and I am afraid that it will directly crush the new military government.

With 50 infantry, the problem is not a big deal.

The premise is that this 50 army must be formed in constant war and expansion.

It is impossible to form in situ.
