Chapter 9: The soldiers’ front is aiming directly (2)

Not to mention that the emperor Zhu Yinglong and Xu Ruying and his daughter reunited to share the joy of human relations, Xiong Tingbi has been in the Battle Camp in Lu Xiangsheng, Shaanxi for a month.

As soon as Xiong Tingbi arrived in Shaanxi, he issued a general order to transfer generals to various towns. Zuo Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao and other several generals who were transferred from Liaodong. The new army of the Jingying also transferred more than a dozen generals including Huang Degong and He Renlong. In the border town, he also transferred dozens of middle and high-ranking officers including Ganzhou General Yang Zhaoji and guerrilla Cao Bujiao. It turned out that Hong Chengchou's generals under the tent Ai Wannian, Liu Chenggong, Liu Wenzhen, guerrilla Wang Xi returned to Li Yingqi, and Lu Xiangsheng, and now all returned to Xiong Tingbi, the new lake.

Guang, the governor of Shaanxi, was the governor of Huguang, Sichuan, and Shaanxi, and Zhu Xieyuan, who was the governor of Huguang, Sichuan, and Shaanxi, changed to only control Sichuan. Then, Sun Chuanting, who was unemployed in his hometown in Shanxi, was appointed to cooperate with military affairs, prepare for war, and mobilized the troops of the garrison from Sichuan, Shanxi, Henan and other provinces to supplement the military strength of the camp of suppression and comfort. Otherwise, when his army set out to fight, wouldn't Li Yingqi and Lu Xiangsheng have no soldiers to complete the suppression and comfort matters handed over to the court to them? The garrison army just acted as such.

Although it was difficult to recruit refugees as an official army, fortunately, after being valued by Shaanxi governor Li Yingqi and inspector Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Yinglong, they devoted themselves to suppressing refugees. The court introduced many tax exemptions and exemptions. During the Hong Chengchou period, they even raised their steel knives to kill many corrupt officials. His title of "killing demon king" was not only for thieves. In this way, the official atmosphere in Shaanxi was cleared, making the successor Lu Xiangsheng much easier.

After Xiong Tingbi arrived in Shaanxi, Li Yingqi and Lu Xiangsheng successively recruited hundreds of thousands of refugees. The court paid for food and allocated them to land, promoted the planting of drought-resistant grain crops such as corn and sweet potatoes. The refugees who were first admitted to the court to appease the court had already made profits from the summer harvest. Although they did not get a big harvest because of God, they finally saw hope, hope to stabilize, and also saw that the current court was different from the previous courts. Therefore, more and more refugees were actively accepting the court's pleading, and even refugees from nearby provinces rushed to hear the news. This immediately put a lot of pressure on Li Yingqi and Lu Xiangsheng. Because there were too many people, the two kept writing letters to Zhu Yinglong for money and grain. Now Xiong

When Tingbi came, he came to relieve his pressure. He helped him solve 50,000 people at once. The expense was counted on the Ministry of War, and it was not related to his suppression and repression of the ministers, so how many people Xiong Tingbi wanted. He allocated all of them to him in a month. In addition to weapons, armor, military supplies, food and grass, and tens of thousands of people had to eat, it really made Governor Xiong a headache. He thought that recruiting refugees to be the official army was not an easy task. He had already made the worst plan, but unexpectedly, Li Yingqi and Lu Xiangsheng gave him such a move. Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng did not intentionally make things difficult for him. He could supply the food and grass of these 50,000 people, but he had to return it, and forced him to sign and seal it, which made Xiong Tingbi smile bitterly. He had never seen such a magistrate of the imperial court.

"Master, when will the weapons, armor, firearms, gunpowder, lead bullets and military uniforms be transferred from the arsenals of various provinces arrive?" Zuo Liangyu was appreciated by Xiong Tingbi. This time, Wu Sangui was studying in the military academy during the southern expedition to Huguang. So he transferred him to his side and listened to him. He was half a disciple on the ground.

Xiong Tingbi was more anxious than this old favorite general. Looking at the regular army of the court who was wearing rags, he was eager to see these things!

Xiong Tingbi was just right to scold Zuo Liangyu, and suddenly saw a personal guard running in hurriedly, kneeling down and reporting: "Report to the general, a plainclothes guard has come to the capital, saying that he has something urgent to ask for the general!"

"The Great Insider?" Xiong Tingbi asked in surprise. "Have you identified your identity?"

"Report to the commander, the official card is confirmed by confirmation!" Xiong Tingbi's own 100 personal soldiers were carefully selected from the Liaodong army, and there were no one in a hundred miles. Yuan Chonghuan was trembling with pain. These people were at least a general manager when they were put in public in ordinary troops.

"Bring the person in!" Xiong Tingbi turned around and sat back on the coach's position.

"The Great Insider Zhan Yuanhao bowed to the Grand Marshal Xiong."

"What do you have to see me?"

"Please let General Xiong retreat!" The guard of Zhan Yuanhaodi looked up at Zuo Liangyu who was standing on the left side of Xiong Tingbi.

Xiong Tingbi thought about it, looked at Zuo Liangyu and said, "Zuo Liangyu!"

"Tagged below!"

"You retreat for the time being. I have something to talk to the guard Zhan and order the idle people not to get close to the central army's big tent!"

"Yes, I'll take the order!" Zuo Liangyu leaned down and said with his fists, then turned around and glanced at Zhan Yuanhao who was kneeling in front of the commander's case. He seemed to have many questions, but the military order had been issued, so he quickly walked out of the commander's tent of the commander in the central army.

Zhan Yuanhao heard Zuo Liangyu's footsteps away, so he took out a secret message from his arms and said: "The villain comes to deliver a letter to Mr. Xiong on the order of our commander, Lord Zhou."

Xiong Tingbi walked down and took the secret letter, removed the tin seal, opened it and his face changed drastically. He hurriedly leaned over and helped him and said, "Please get up, Guard Zhan!"

"Thank you, Marshal!" Zhou Yuanhao stood up and said.

"The emperor asked me to go south ten days in advance. What happened in the court?" Xiong Tingbi asked in confusion.

"The emperor arrived at Tongzhou Military Academy and met an assassin on his way back. Fortunately, the commander replaced the emperor with someone, so the emperor survived. The emperor took this opportunity to pretend to be seriously injured and paralyze the enemy's vigilance, so that the general would unexpectedly raid Wuchang to succeed." Zhan Yuanhao said.

"The emperor's move seems to be too risky. If Huang Taiji in the north learns that the emperor is seriously injured, wouldn't he tear up the peace agreement and start a war on the border again?" Xiong Tingbi said worriedly. He was even more worried about the turmoil and backfire in the court.

"Yuanhao is only responsible for sending messages, and Yuanhao is not aware of other things!" Zhan Yuanhao bowed his head and said.

"So, you can go and rest now, and then go back to Beijing to report your life." Xiong Tingbi said.

"The emperor also has an oral order for Yuanhao to pass it to the general!"

"What kind of oral order?"

"The emperor said that the weapons, armor, firearms, gunpowder, and lead ammunition uniforms of the provinces have been shipped with the military troops of the provinces. They will arrive at the Grand Marshal's camp in about fifteen days. The emperor specially transferred twenty new cast cannons to the Grand Marshal, and they will also shipped along with them. Originally, these twenty cannons were to be transported to Liaodong, but now they are all allocated to the Grand Marshal. In addition to the new muskets, various mines, grenades and other firearms are allocated to the Grand Marshal first, hoping that the Grand Marshal can win the championship!"

When Xiong Tingbi heard this, his frown eyebrows were smoothed out, and his face suddenly became happy. With artillery, he could capture even the strongest city. The sampan boat of the Dongting Lake Navy was even more vulnerable. How could he not be overjoyed?

It would be better to be a beef in the country. If someone else had changed to him, the emperor might have provided all his strength, but he probably wouldn't be so partial. He was almost giving him all his family's assets. If he couldn't win such a battle, Xiong Tingbi was really ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Apart from the time these things were on the road, it was only five days for him to familiarize himself with the weapons and the use of various firearms in his hands. Fortunately, his subordinates fought on the border all year round. They could first explain the following theoretically and trained with various substitutes. The quality of the soldiers given by Lu Xiangsheng was not bad. Some of them were soldiers who had guarded the border in the past. Although they had rushed into the army, they were still a little higher than the rabble. After a month of success, they also had a few battles with the bandits who vowed not to surrender to the court. They had been trained and basically would not tremble when they went to the battlefield. Once they were discovered, they would directly find Lu Xiangsheng to replace them. In this way, in addition to being dressed in a variety of clothes and rags, when the gangsters and bandits who were looting everywhere were gradually wiped out, the appearance of the regular official army was first in shape.

Although they all look thin and have strong bones. They all survived from the famine. Those who can survive are the strongest vitality and resilience. As long as they are given food, warm clothes, and make military achievements, they can be promoted. Not only will the glory of the clan and the ancestors be glorious, they will also give them all kinds of honors and many visible tangible benefits. After their death, their families can still receive high pensions, and their names can be permanently incense from future generations. From their bright eyes, what Xiong Tingbi saw was not a mob, but a strong army.

The expedition work is being prepared in full swing. Because the expedition is going to go ahead, the training task is gradually increasing. Xiong Tingbi organized 50,000 troops into ten battalions, named after the First Battalion to the Tenth Battalion, and was led by the generals. Yang Zhaoji, the general of Ganzhou, was his deputy, and Sun Chuanting was responsible for military affairs and received an additional 3,000 troops in the first battalion to be responsible for logistics support. This is simple and convenient and easier to command, especially when the running-in period between the generals and soldiers is too short, it is too complicated and unfavorable to command.
