Lord of Ming Dynasty

Successfully wiped out the 35 Qing soldiers led by Yao Qisheng, including 20 soldiers and horses from the Dajin Kingdom who surrendered. Among the 15 troops, there were [-] Goguryeo soldiers, [-] Japanese soldiers, [-] Mongolian cavalry, and [-] soldiers. Authentic Manchu people, [-] soldiers and horses of the Han army banner.

Together with the conscripted more than 9 Shaanxi-Gansu Minzhuang, a total of 44 Qing soldiers were annihilated.

However, Yu Chenglong's 500 people escaped.

A regiment of the cavalry brigade was already in pursuit.

After meeting Wang Yuqun of the 9th Field Division who was in charge of central defense and encirclement and suppression, Bagyaru sighed: "This time we don't need to go to the troublesome encirclement and suppression. The Qing army did a good thing for us. They took those The landlords and gentry who opposed us, servants of the great powers, bandits, horse bandits, and returned soldiers all gathered together, and we annihilated [-] people in one go."

Wang Yuqun said with a smile: "Congratulations, captain, this battle will at least let you be promoted to a governor, and maybe you can be a real local governor in the future."

Both Wang Yuqun and Bagyalu came out of the personal guards. At that time, Bagyaru was still the captain of the personal guards, and Wang Yuqun was his subordinate.

Baggyalu patted him on the shoulder, "You're not bad either. We wiped out the enemy's [-] remaining Goguryeo troops and Mongolian cavalry, and encircled them in time, which relieved me of a lot of burden. We cooperated well. How about you? Here? Don’t mess with the Merlin.”

Wang Yuqun smiled and said: "Come to you, what can I do? You have a lot of talents here. Where can I be a field division commander? Why don't I be the commander of a division when I come to you? Why don't I just stay in the original There are a lot of acquaintances in this place, everyone is friendly and not unfamiliar. I don’t know many people here. If you look at Gao Hui, he is a former teammate of the Guards, while Gao Jie is from the Dashun Army. It's a little strange, Gao Zhixiang is the one who surrendered, let alone someone who came along with us."

Bagyalu took out a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cigarettes from his body, and handed one to Wang Yuqun. The two looked at the soldiers and officers around them. The civilian officials were busy, recalling the past fighting years, and chatting about current affairs.

After a long time, Bagyalu said: "Unification is about to happen. Your Majesty definitely doesn't need so many field divisions. The number of field divisions needs to be reduced. Based on your performance in Your Majesty a few days ago, you may not be able to be an admiral of a field division. It is impossible to be the commander-in-chief of the field division after being relegated. I wrote to your majesty to ask you to come here.

But I can no longer serve as the admiral of the field division. I communicated with Xuanyuan Longfei. He proposed that you serve as the commander of the Shaanxi-Gansu garrison. The corps will go all the way to the east, attack Shanxi Prefecture, and cooperate with Hu Kui corps to fight. The great cause of unification is the key point. My place will be transformed into a secondary battlefield, but I can't have someone to guard the rear for me. I think you are the right person. "

Wang Yuqun was a bit dull and sad. Although he was tired of the war, he still didn't want to retire in the second-line garrison. Retiring in the field army was an honor, and staying in the garrison was the reserve of the field army. It must not be as glorious as the field army. I feel a little lost.

Bagyaru patted him on the shoulder, "Think about it, according to what Merlin Yu told me, His Majesty became angry that day and threatened to send you to the Advisory Bureau as a doctor of the Advisory Bureau to manage those county-level officials. The nursing home where the grandpas stayed, the garrison is a military unit, and it will not weaken your reputation as a brave man."

"Okay, I will serve as the commander of the garrison of Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture." Wang Yuqun was helpless, how could he be so messed up at that time, and showed a nonchalant look in front of His Majesty.

Bagyalu nodded and said with a smile: "It is said that the garrison commander of a state is no more than the rank of lieutenant general or general soldier, but considering that Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture is actually three states, His Majesty has restored your rank of admiral, and you are still an admiral. After defeating Suo'etu and the others, you immediately pick out all the ordinary militia brigades and elite militia brigades that have fought, and reorganize all the garrison brigades that have been transferred to this state.

The principle of distribution is that there are three garrison brigades in Shaanxi Province, one garrison brigade in Ningxia Prefecture, and three garrison brigades in Gansu Prefecture. Your garrison headquarters is directly under one cavalry brigade and one garrison brigade. Among them, the garrison brigade composed of two cavalry troops in Gansu Prefecture , an infantry garrison brigade, and an elite militia brigade in Gansu Prefecture responsible for transportation and local security, an ordinary cavalry militia brigade in Ningxia Prefecture, a cavalry garrison brigade in Shaanxi Prefecture, two infantry garrison brigades, and an elite militia brigade to maintain public order. There is an ordinary brigade of the militia in the headquarters to transport supplies, and the second brigade of the punishment battalion is also under your control, responsible for guarding these captives to repair the roads in Shanxi-Gansu Prefecture, their deployment is under the control of the government, but the battle is under your control."

Wang Yuqun was taken aback. With so many brigades and troops, can he manage them?

This area has more troops than the Baggyalu and Merlin Yu Corps. This is the rhythm of entrusting the entire Shaanxi-Gansu Province to their own.

Bagyalu saw his doubts, and said with a smile: "That's right, after clearing the Suo'etu Department and forcing out the Wu Sangui Department, all my corps will be transferred back to Jinling Mansion for reorganization and rest within three months, which will last for half a year Or one year. Within this year, Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture will be handed over to you. Yang Yangyang will serve as the military commander here, and at the same time serve as your deputy commander of the garrison to assist you in managing these troops. He has already arrived in Weinan Prefecture and has been Where."

Chapter 867 The battle in Shaanxi and Gansu is over

Baggyalu and the others ended the encirclement and suppression war of the Coastal Prefecture, and gained a lot. They used the troops and equipment accumulated by the Dajin Kingdom in the past few years, as well as the two support soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, Goguryeo soldiers and tens of thousands of elite Japanese soldiers. All the soldiers and horses were wiped out.

Faced with the encirclement and suppression by four field divisions, Duolong left his troops and ran away with a few hundred Manchu Qing soldiers. Like Yu Chenglong, he ran to the grassland and met Suo'etu, who had not lost much. Ten thousand Mongolian cavalrymen ran back to Datong Mansion under the cover of the Mongolian cavalry, but Wu Sangui was so distressed that he was about to die. The soldiers and horses he had accumulated in the past few years lost [-], and only [-] soldiers and horses and [-] civilian husbands ran back.

The Baggyalu Corps only arrested people in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture for a month, captured nearly 40 enemy soldiers and horses, captured more than 12 brave and strong men from various villages in Shaanxi Prefecture, and more than 30 civilian husbands in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture. The bandits from all over the country were captured. The horse bandits had nearly 1 soldiers and horses, and more than [-] prisoners.

With nearly one million prisoners, soldiers and horses from the entire Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture helped the punishment battalion to guard the prisoners.

It took another month, and when officials from various places were in place, the Bagyalu Corps began to slowly withdraw from Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture. It took three months for one division. They will evacuate, return to the capital Jinling Mansion to rest, change clothes, retire veterans, and recruit recruits, while the two guard divisions will act as guards. Their garrison time has not yet come, and there are still more than two years left. Wait for two years They can withdraw to the capital.

However, those cavalry brigades who helped them withdrew to the defense areas of their respective regiments for reorganization, leaving only the cavalry brigade guards of the Bagyaru Corps.

With the arrival of the officials and the arrival of the supervisory brigades from all over the punishment camp, many field divisions took a rest on the spot.

They replaced the responsibilities of the garrison brigade and the militia brigade, guarding the place, and then evacuated after the garrison brigade reorganized these elite militia brigades.

Wang Yuqun and Yang Yangyang were busy without nodding their heads. Such a large corps retreated, and only they and the guards were guarding. Some officers and soldiers of the cavalry brigade were also sent to the garrison. They were considered to have retreated from the front line. Second line.

However, after fighting with Suo'etu and Wu Sangui's troops for a long time, the Gaohui Field Division and the Meilinyu Tenth Field Division, which suffered heavy losses, were replaced by the fully repaired Ninth Field Division to take over the defense of Yulin Mansion.Behind is Wang Yuqun's Eighth Field Division, still guarding the Yellow River.

The [-]th Field Division retreated to Yuncheng Mansion, where it will be repaired. With a single order, Wan Dou Ni became the interim admiral of the [-]th Field Division. He was promoted from a general to an admiral in one fell swoop. One step behind, he was promoted from garrison to deputy brigade commander, took over Wan Douni's work, and became the brigade commander of the temporary field brigade.

Originally, the brigade commander of the field brigade had the rank of enlisted general, but was later changed to the rank of deputy general because of the increase in troops and establishment, and the improvement of weapons and equipment.

Later, when it was changed to a field division, the brigade commander was still a lieutenant general, and the commander-in-chief became the commander of the field division. The commander of the corps, or the deputy commander, of course, can also be the deputy commander of the general army.

This is an opportunity, because the commander of the Tenth Field Division has been vacant for a long time, and this time they fought very tenaciously. Those lieutenants and commanders thought they could become division commanders, but in the end, Wan Dou Ni bypassed them and directly acted as division commander.

Still an admiral.

This is a bit unbalanced, but Wan Dou Ni and Tian Ying used ordinary remnants to fight the credit for annihilating [-] enemies, and they also captured the embarrassment of the Huaxia Army. up.

Of course, there are many unbalanced people. In order to balance the psychology of these people, Zhang Qiang directly ordered all the generals at the brigade commander and deputy brigade level to be transferred to the first and third guard divisions to serve as deputy brigades of those brigades of the guard division. Chief, Chief of Staff, the Guards Division has a much higher standard than them. The brigade commander and deputy brigade commander of the Guards Division were transferred to serve as the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander of the Tenth Field Division, so that the team would be balanced.

There were two Guards Divisions and an Eighth Field Division to support Wang Yuqun, and Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture still had strong troops. Only three divisions from the Bagyalu Corps, one division from the Fengwuyu Corps, and two divisions from the Fengwuyu Corps were withdrawn. A cavalry brigade and a field division of the Merlin Fish Corps will be transferred in the next three months, and the Ninth Field Division will also be transferred. After half a year, the Eighth Field Division will also be transferred, but they are not going back to the rear to rest. Instead, go to attack Shanxi Prefecture, and let a corps occupy it without credit.

The Meilin Yu Corps attacked Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture as an auxiliary, this time it was the main attack, and the Hu Kui Corps cooperated.

The Baggyalu Corps first withdrew a cavalry brigade, and a field division went to Henan Province to rest and recuperate to make up for the vacancy there. The other field division and the Baggyalu Corps headquarters went directly back to Jinling Mansion to rest. Three months later, a cavalry The brigade and a field division returned to Henan Prefecture, a cavalry brigade and a field division from Henan Prefecture then returned to Jinling Prefecture, and the last field division returned directly to Jinling Prefecture six months later.

Three months later, the Ninth Field Division of the Meilinyu Corps entered Shanxi Prefecture and directly attacked Yanmen County. The Eighth Field Division cooperated and the defense was taken over by the garrison brigade and the guard division.

The Baggyalu Corps and the Merlin Fish Corps in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture withdrew one after another to rest. The Guards Division and the Garrison Brigade took over the defense. The Punishment Battalion was transferred to start accepting prisoners and working. Roads began to be officially built. A few months ago The time is clearing up and maintaining law and order. At the same time, the road is being surveyed. After the war is over, the road construction will officially start.

The fast-growing punishment brigade that was idle in the rear has a place to use, and those who have gone through several levels of training and passed the imperial examination several times, the accumulated engineers and technicians have begun to work, and nearly [-] technicians support Sishan Prefecture And the construction of Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture.

And the food shipped from the rear was truckload by truckload, with millions of captives, nearly 30 soldiers and horses, nearly 300 to [-] officials from all walks of life, and nearly [-] million people in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture. How much food do they have to eat? The war left Shaanxi and Gansu with only land and no one to cultivate it, and those with little food could only eat people.

The food captured by the Qing army and the original food of the soldiers and horses are not enough. Although many rich people’s homes can be stolen this time, it is still a drop in the bucket. It can’t solve the problem. It can only be transported from the rear. It can be said that it is easy to fight, but it is not easy to feed the population. ah.

Zhou Congee was busy going around for this.

Zhang Qiang returned to Jinling Mansion and began to rest.

The headquarters of the Merlin Fish Corps entered Yuncheng Mansion and began to direct the battle there.

Xiao Fei lay on the map and a pile of documents in the General Staff Headquarters to plan future battles and defenses in various places, and deploy troops and horses.

Li Dingguo and Wei Wuji were discussing matters in Southeast Asia while busy arranging personnel transfers for Xiao Fei. The minister of the Ministry of National Defense, but Li Dingguo, the deputy prime minister, actually manages the Ministry of National Defense.

After finishing his work in the Ministry of National Defense, he still has to go to the cabinet meeting to make suggestions for the civil affairs and people's livelihood arrangements in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture. He is very busy.

So he proposed to promote Feng Quan, who had just been transferred to the cabinet to study, to the position of minister, and let him serve as deputy minister to assist him in handling matters.

And Xue Hong is also the prefect of China Island and Xinlu Prefecture, and Prime Minister Yan is also the prefect of Shikoku Island and the shortcut area, so that a large number of manpower can be allocated to handle affairs.

Anyway, the general staff is in charge of fighting the war, and the Ministry of National Defense is responsible for logistics and some personnel arrangements, as well as major decisions. Logistics is handed over to Feng Quan, and personnel is handed over to another old servant.

This proposal was unanimously approved by the cabinet. As the deputy prime minister, he will be responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of National Defense. He still needs to deal with many matters in the cabinet. Zhou Zhou complained about this, and proposed to Zhang Qiang to add another deputy prime minister to help him share the affairs. .

Zhang Qiang thought about it, and the only suitable candidate is Zhang Huangyan. He has experienced many things, he is mature and prudent, and he is still the Minister of the Household Department. Promoting him will make him more loyal to himself, although he has the taint of participating in the You Haibo incident, But it's not too heavy, it can only be said that it is the aftermath and habits of the Ming Dynasty's official struggles, and people are not bad.

Let Gu Yuesheng take over his household secretary. Anyway, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now a Qingshui yamen for the Huaxia Army. After two years of raising him, Gu Yuesheng is almost fat. Part-time job, activities are also OK.

After Zhang Huangyan was brought up, he shared the responsibilities of managing the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Then, as the fourth deputy prime minister, he was asked to share some of Li Dingguo's responsibilities, and he was in charge of the Navy Director, Artillery Director, Garrison Command, and rice. The governor of Baodao Prefecture on Lin's side asked Li Dingguo to concentrate on managing the governor of Southeast Asia, which was good for communicating with Wei Wuji.

Zhou Porridge is directly in charge of the official department, and then takes an overview of the overall situation, so the burden will be lighter.
