I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven

Chapter 77 Future Plans

Faced with the possible attack by the National Salvation Army at any time, many rural landowners and members, even many properties cannot be sold.

They will also temporarily give up fixed assets such as land and houses, and first carry gold, silver, supplies, family members, etc. into counties and prefectures.

After all, the National Salvation Army seemed to be only interested in the countryside and would not attack county towns.

Naturally, they have to find a way to enter the county and prefectural cities.

And with such a large number of non-member landowners joining in, carrying large amounts of gold and silver supplies, Liang's city and county became prosperous and lively in an instant.

Suddenly, the magistrates of various counties, as well as the magistrates of Lintao and Gongchang Prefectures, were happy, angry and frightened at the same time.

I am glad that the county and prefectural cities have become more prosperous, and the money they can make will naturally be more abundant, and it is also a rare political achievement.

However, such a powerful force entrenched in the two mansions is also a huge threat to them.

If he is brought to the court, he will be dismissed from his official position, which is naturally unacceptable to them.

At this time, they did not care whether they would make the new emperor Chongzhen unhappy if they mobilized troops when Tianqi died and the new emperor succeeded to the throne.

Immediately, they began to mobilize their troops and generals in order to completely eliminate this group of bandits and insurrectionists entrenched in the two prefectures.

However, even if they wanted to, they couldn't send troops immediately.

Today's People's Salvation Army, after wiping out more than a thousand officers and soldiers, can no longer be treated as ordinary bandits.

Before sending out troops, all kinds of food, grass, supplies, weapons, armor, etc. need to be prepared.

Even if most of them will not be realized in the hands of soldiers in the end, they still need to be deployed in a short time.

Fortunately, Lintao Mansion had planned to wipe out the People's Salvation Army before, but it was only because of the new emperor's accession to the throne that it failed.

Now, they didn't care whether it would cause Chongzhen's displeasure. They wanted to put down this group of bandits and chaos first.

However, even though they were prepared, they did not take action immediately.

Because they have already contacted the prefect of Gongchang Prefecture.

The two governments decided to send troops together to suppress and eliminate the People's Salvation Army in one fell swoop.

It's just that Gongchang Mansion didn't make any preparations in advance.

Therefore, it needs to wait for a period of time to mobilize troops, assemble ordnance supplies, etc.

They have made an appointment to wait until October 20th to send troops together to suppress and destroy the People's Salvation Army.

The dynasty had already anticipated the next actions of Lintao and Gongchang after they destroyed the officers and soldiers of Shouyang Pass.

However, he had no other choice.

We can't just let the officers and soldiers wreak havoc while they just hide everywhere.

At that time, the prestige that the dynasty had finally established, the agricultural cooperative organizations, etc. would inevitably suffer a devastating blow, and he naturally could not tolerate it.

Therefore, he could only destroy that group of officers and soldiers, even if it attracted the attention of the Ming court.

What's more, he is no longer as weak as he was before.

Perhaps it is impossible to face the encirclement and suppression of the entire Ming Dynasty.

However, he was still confident that he could resist in the land of two mere houses.

Even, complete occupation.

After returning to Weiyuan County, the Dynasty immediately summoned Wang Dahu and others.

"leader!"

In the meeting hall of the Niaoshu Mountain Recruitment Camp, everyone bowed to the dynasty and then took their seats on both sides.

Well, in the Salvation Army, there is no rule that the leader sits on the throne and everyone else must stand.

The dynasty combined the ancient monarch-minister discussion with the modern conference model and directly built a rectangular table in the conference hall, with everyone sitting on both sides.

On the table, in addition to the tea in front of everyone, there is a sand table.

Of course, with their current capabilities and technology, the sandbox they create is a bit abstract.

After all, they don't have professional talents, they just simply shape it based on the rough terrain map.

However, as a reference for rough distinction and troop deployment, it is enough.

In the future, after qualified talents are trained, more complete sand tables can naturally be made.

"I called you here this time to deal with the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers that may come at any time."

After listening to Chao Chao's words, Li Yu immediately said with a smile:

"Haha, I don't think there's anything wrong with those officers and soldiers. They were beaten to a pulp by us.

If they want to come, then come.

When the time comes, we will just take them all down.”

Although the others did not speak, the expressions on their faces were somewhat relaxed.

After these few battles, they finally discovered that the Ming Dynasty's imperial army was rotten to the core and did not have much combat power at all.

In real comparison, the farmers who farm the land are not much better than them.

Seeing this look on everyone's face, Wang Chao couldn't help but frown slightly.

The easy victory of these few battles made their mentality somewhat inflated.

Well, it's a bit off.

Involuntarily, Wang Chao looked solemn and said in a deep voice:

"Except for the more than a thousand officers and soldiers at Shouyang Pass, are the other troops we encountered different from the farmers?

Moreover, among the more than a thousand officers and soldiers at Shouyang Pass, how many are real soldiers?

Except for Shen Changquan's two hundred soldiers, the others were just the old, weak, sick and disabled.

How many usable soldiers have you included in it? "

When it came to the end, Chao Chao looked at Wang Sanshun.

"this"

Wang Sanshun's expression changed slightly, and then he said:

"If we follow the standards of our National Salvation Army, except for Shen Changquan's 200 personal soldiers, there are less than 500 available soldiers. The others are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and cannot be used for anything."

Wang Sanshun's words immediately caused the smiling Wang Dahu and others to gradually stop smiling, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.

They knew that many of the more than a thousand officers and soldiers at Shouyang Pass were old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, they did not expect that it would be exaggerated to such an extent.

As for why they don't know the specific situation.

They only care about fighting, not about prisoner arrangements.

The People's Salvation Army can be different from the military in the current world.

Most of the armies in the world now, especially the armies of different forces in the same country, will even select some combatable soldiers and break them up into their own army after capturing the enemy.

Of course, these soldiers are used as cannon fodder most of the time.

But no matter what, they will indeed be absorbed by various armies.

However, in the People's Salvation Army, all regular troops must undergo recruit training in the new barracks. After passing the training, they will be sent to various teams according to needs.

In other words, the various teams of the People's Salvation Army are not qualified to recruit personnel independently. They can only recruit recruits from the new barracks.

Of course, considering that all the regular troops of the National Salvation Army are extraordinary soldiers, they can't look down on ordinary people.

It is precisely because of this situation that Wang Dahu and the others do not know how many qualified soldiers the captured officers and soldiers can select.

There were only Wang Sanshun who was in charge of the selection, instructors Wu Ping and Chen Ying, and Chao Chao Qingming.

Therefore, Wang Dahu and others were a little surprised after hearing that among the more than a thousand officers and soldiers at Shouyang Pass, there were only less than 500 available troops.

But at the same time, they became more relaxed.

This is the situation for the defenders of passes like Shouyang Pass.

Then other places must be even more unbearable, so wouldn't it be easier for them to deal with it?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Chao Chao said in a deep voice:

"These armies in the Ming Dynasty are a bit corrupt, but do you think those border troops who have been fighting against the Mongolians outside the Pass and the Jurchen Tatars in Jianzhou all year round are also in such a bad state?

You guys think that if we get bigger, will the Ming Dynasty call in the border troops to encircle and suppress us?

Besides, that’s all we have.

If the Ming Dynasty is really determined to mobilize the power of the whole country to encircle and suppress it, how should we resist? "

Listening to what Chao Chao said was serious, Li Yu said hesitantly:

"This can't be done."

"No? Do you want to put our lives in front of the court?"

"this"

Although the possibility mentioned by Chao Chao was extremely small, Wang Dahu and others had to admit that it was indeed possible.

In particular, the border troops were mobilized for encirclement and suppression.

It is indeed basically impossible to mobilize the power of the whole country to attack them now.

However, there is a high probability of mobilizing border troops for encirclement and suppression.

And facing the border troops who have been fighting all year round, they really have no bottom.

"What the leader means is

Do we avoid the frontal encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers? "

Wang Shi said hesitantly.

"of course not.

I just want to remind you not to get carried away.

Every time you fight, you must work hard, because any mistake may lead to a final defeat and the death of a large number of soldiers.

This time, some soldiers became a little carried away. Only a few dozen people dared to attack a team of hundreds of officers and soldiers.

Most of these officers and soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled.

As long as they were regular soldiers who had received training, they would have died countless times.

You can't expect our future enemies to be all old, weak, sick and disabled like this, right? "

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, they just defeated some old, weak, sick and disabled people, and there was really nothing to be proud of.

"What does the leader mean?"

Wang Dahu spoke in a deep voice.

"Fight, we will definitely fight.

What we have to consider is how to fight.”

"You see, we now roughly occupy Weiyuan County, Zhang County, and the villages near Shouyang Pass, which is almost equivalent to surrounding Gongchang Prefecture.

Lintao Prefecture is adjacent to Weiyuan County."

Wang Chao stood up, picked up a long wooden stick, pointed at the rough map sand table, and explained to everyone.

After Wang Dahu and others stood up, Wang Dahu and others also stood up together and looked at where Wang Chao was pointing.

"Chief, what do you mean, we capture Lintao Mansion and Gongchang Mansion?"

Looking at the sand table with a long center and the distribution of enemy and friendly forces, Wang Sanshun suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dahu and others couldn't help but their eyes lit up.

Are they finally taking over the city?

"Um!"

Chao Chao nodded and then said:

“Not only the two prefectures of Lintao Prefecture and Gongchang Prefecture, but also the county towns of several nearby counties were captured in one fell swoop.

Hezhou in Lintao Prefecture, as well as Anlong Pass and Tumen Pass in the west, as well as Jiehe Pass in the north, must also be brought under control.

Gongchang Prefecture's Luanxi, Anding, Ningyuan, Fuqiang, Tongwei and other counties must also be controlled

In this way, a rough defense circle can be formed to resist attacks from all around."

"Isn't this too much?"

Listening to Wang Chao's narration, Wang Sanshun couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Even Wang Dahu and others who were originally very excited also became serious at this time.

Can they really attack so many places and occupy such a large chassis suddenly?

"Why think so much? If the leader tells us to fight, we will fight."

Wang Erniu, who was taciturn in the past and even unwilling to join the others at first, said indifferently at this time.

"Hmm~?"

Everyone looked at him in surprise when they heard it.

"Why are you looking at me? I think it's right to follow the leader.

If the leader says so, then we can definitely take down these places."
