Chapter 72: The Storm Rises (2)

The climate of Shuangdui Prefecture has not decreased since April. The temperature here is slightly higher than that of the same latitude. Good lighting and hydrothermal conditions make it a hot spot for the early development of Northern Luzon. It was not until the Volcanic Prefecture was newly built into the capital of Northern Luzon that the heat here slowed down slightly. However, with the increasing frequent exchanges with the Indian-Dermanian region, and the five tribes in the Green Sea Marsh area also began to come out. There are several regional connection points. Now this is not only the economic center of a multi-ethnic region, but also an important transportation hub and trade center connecting the Indian-Dermanian region and the Principal of Comine.

Hu Yanqiu led his legion's direct corps south from Zijing Pass into Shuangdui Mansion. As soon as he stepped into the gate of Shuangdui Mansion, he felt the impact of the war on this area. Although the shops were still open, the merchants were already packing up some goods, and many workshops were preparing to take stock of the goods. It seemed that they were still scared of the last war. The past fewer people and cars came and went to the prosperous streets than usual. The golden peng flag fluttering on the top of the city seemed to be more dazzling, and even the expressions on the faces of the people walking on the street seemed to have a hint of solemnity.

Hu Yanqiu led this army into Shuangdui City to attract a lot of attention from people in the city. What ordinary people and businessmen are most worried about is that the army gave up Shuangdui Mansion as last time, but seeing the Western Xinjiang army with various numbers continuously entering Shuangdui Mansion, and the city defense facilities in the city are also undergoing renovation and reinforcement. All of this seems to be a good omen. The Western Xinjiang army is preparing to carry out defensive operations in Shuangdui Mansion.

Helianbo, who had been waiting at the gate of the court, came up from afar. After a warm greeting, Hu Yanqiu had a warm Gaoyue hug with Shanzhu, the deputy commander of the Second Corps who had not spoken aloud. Helianbo also laughed and patted his shoulders and shook hands with his old colleague Jiang Bin, who had just been promoted to deputy commander of the Indian De'an Army, to show his intimacy. The long-term cooperation has allowed the two to establish a very good personal relationship. Although Jiang Bin is now promoted to deputy commander of the Indian De'an Army, it does not affect the relationship between the two. After a long period of fun, both sides then put their arms into the camp group that had covered the entire court tightly.

A faint aroma of coffee spreads in the spacious tent. I randomly looked at the various maps hanging in the tent. It can be seen that the commander was a little bit particular. Jiang Bin was quite interested in this commander of the Shanko Army. Among the eight major legions of the Western Xinjiang Army, he was the only commander of the army who was not from the Imperial Army system. Moreover, many important generals in this legion came from the rebel thieves system. Birds of a feather flocked to live in groups seemed very appropriate to him.

Moreover, Linghu Yi, the director of the Western Xinjiang Military Intelligence Bureau, who is now at the core of the central position of the Western Xinjiang, also comes from this army, which shows Li Wufeng, Oh, he should not be called His Highness the King of Qin now, but shows His Highness the King of Qin’s trust in him and this army. This guy’s history of making a fortune can also be a classic textbook and become a coordinate idol for those officers and soldiers from the Western Xinjiang army who came from the rebellious army, rebels and bandits, and now it seems that he can join this role.

Jiang Bin sat at the lower left and savored the mellow aroma of finely ground coffee from Northern Luzon. The slightly bitter and astringent taste made Jiang Bin like this green moon coffee the most. The rising water mist soaked into his nostrils was also an indescribable enjoyment. A month ago, he was officially promoted to the position of deputy commander of the Western Xinjiang Army in India and De'an Army under the strong recommendation of Helianbo and Hu Yanqiu. The competition for this position is quite fierce. Perhaps considering that the Indian De'an Army had looked at the Taiping Sect surrendered troops and hoped that he could lead a combat-rich team like the Fourth Division of the Second Legion, so the Military Affairs Office and His Highness of the King of Qin finally agreed to the recommendation of Helianbo and Hu Yanqiu and appointed himself as the deputy commander of the Indian De'an Army.

After entering the Western Xinjiang military system, Jiang Bin gradually gained some understanding of this huge and efficient army. After seeing the generous treatment, good equipment and abundant logistics support of the Western Xinjiang military, Jiang Bin had to admit that his Taiping Army was not wronged at all. But this is just one aspect. The perfect military discipline and law enforcement mechanism of the Western Xinjiang military and the promotion of officers also refreshed Jiang Bin. All the performance is the only criterion for the promotion and decline of officers and soldiers. Jiang Bin was speechless in the end. If you want to stand out in the huge Western Xinjiang military, no matter which system you come from, whether you graduate from the Old City Guard, Northwest Military Academy, or the bandits and rebels surrendered to the army, as long as you have the ability to achieve actual results, you will get the opportunity to be promoted.

Jiang Bin also fully witnessed the heavy and even rigorous training tasks of the Western Xinjiang Army during peacetime. He sweated more often in peacetime and bleed less during wartime. These two common sayings became the catchphrase of the training of the Western Xinjiang Army officers and soldiers. Armed training, field battles, mountainous crossings, jungle crossing, armed swimming, strong city attacks, field defense, desert marching and various synthetic exercises. Jiang Bin didn't know whose head was so bad, and he could come up with so many variety of training subjects, but in the end he realized that these ideas all came from the Military Affairs Director Ling Tianfang, who only knew daily formation exercises and individual training in the Taiping Army, finally opened his eyes. It was definitely not a coincidence that the Western Xinjiang Army was able to claim the Empire and the Central Continent. This was the conclusion that Jiang Bin came to learn from the pain.

We are already behind. If we want to gain a foothold in the Western Xinjiang Army and not be eliminated, we can only pay more than others. We have to prove to everyone that we are not cowards! This is the only sentence that Jiang Bin said at the oath-taking meeting for his own division after seeing the gap with other old Western Xinjiang Army. But it is this sentence that inspired the entire division and allowed the division to quickly complete the role of the Taiping Army uprising army to the Western Xinjiang Army in the shortest time. An iron army that has no great military achievements but is no less than other divisions was established in this way. The three fearless spirit of Taiping Army soldiers, who were not afraid of hardship, fatigue, and death, was fully reflected, and this is also closely related to Jiang Bin's leading role in everything in training.

Compared with his two coaches, Hu Yanqiu and Helianbo, Jiang Bin suddenly realized that these two people actually have similarities in many aspects. They both seem rough and meticulous in their personalities. They both became monks and entered the Western Army system halfway, and were both let by His Highness the King of Qin to guard one side of the border. The most interesting thing is that both of them are combined surnames. It seems that successful people have common characteristics and experiences, but Hu Yanqiu has a more stable personality, while Helianbo is more bold and wild.

Seeing that his important subordinates were all here, Helianbo was too lazy to introduce to the other party. As two legions that had been stationed in the Central Continent, they also had a lot of understanding between the two legions, especially Hu Yanqiu, who was more familiar with officers above the commander of the Second Legion Division, let alone Jiang Bin.

"Hu Yan, it seems that Your Highness does not plan to send reinforcements to us in this battle. Now we should have fun with the friends in the south. How about it? How do you want to play?" Helianbo still looked careless. From this perspective, this guy didn't look like a commander who commanded more than 100,000 troops, but it was his personality that governed the entire army and became a group of plagiarism soldiers in the mainland that were at the peak of their might.

"Helian, you are the head coach and a local snake. You are familiar with the locals. No matter how you say we do it, in short, you can't lose, it's that simple. This is also the requirement of His Highness the King of Qin. Even if we drag it, it will be considered a victory." Hu Yanqiu was also amused by the other party's words, and his tone became humorous.

"It's hard, Huyan, we don't have to worry about saying this, but according to the information from Linghu Yi's boy, the Luzons mobilized at least 300,000 troops, and the Comineans were also making large-scale mobilizations. The two aspects must have at least 500,000 troops, and we only have 200,000 troops. The most important thing is that the defense front in Northern Luzon is so long now, and there are three cities, and no one can be lost. Frederick is not an Indian and German, so how can he be so easy to pass? Since he has seized this opportunity, he is afraid he won't bite him hard.

I won't give up the last one." Shaking his head, Helianbo's words were relaxed, but his expression was not like that. He obviously knew that this battle was not easy to fight. "The Cominians seem to want to avenge our arguing of a single arrow on Tik's side, and they also want to come to this muddy water. Why, Huyan, can you let the Natiks launch some offensives on their side? Even if it's pretending, it's OK to restrain the Cominians and drag the Cominians back, so as to relieve the pressure on our side."

Hu Yanqiu also knew the degree of the battle, but he and Helianbo had a feeling that Frederick chose to send troops to Northern Luzon at this time, although he saw the opportunity when Western Xinjiang was unable to look west, he had never considered the consequences of Western Xinjiang turning back and fighting back with all his might? Or did he think that the Central Plains War would continue as soon as the war continued in the West Xinjiang would never have the chance to put his energy back to Northern Luzon? But according to the intelligence of this battle, the Luzons did make the maximum military mobilization. This was not an act. The entire country did such a huge military

Mobilization will cost a considerable price. If it is just intimidation or military exercises, it would be too funny. There is only one conclusion, that is, the Luzons are determined to take advantage of this rare opportunity to regain Northern Luzon and restore their so-called national unity. However, the military mobilization of the Luzons is almost completed, but they have never seen any substantial actions taken. They seem to be waiting for something. Are they waiting for the Comineans who have not yet fully mobilized the military to advance together? Or are they worried that they are still waiting for the full outbreak of the war in the Central Plains of the Empire?
