Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 115 Convinced

Jiang Bin really didn't expect that such a phenomenon would appear. Out of the remaining 30,000 people, 20,000 were willing to follow him. This really surprised him. Could it be that he really has such a great call in this army? Power and influence, even if Li Wufeng surrendered, they would follow him unchanged? He really couldn't believe it, and he didn't know the secret until his confidant went down to understand it quietly.

Although they followed the Taiping Sect, these soldiers from the poorest classes did not seem to have benefited from the uprising and war at all, and their hometowns did not seem to have changed much. The fields, which were longed for in my heart, seemed to be gradually left behind, and no one mentioned them again. It seemed that the only change was that the family was able to obtain a small piece of land, which was far from the original expectation. And it seems that the word "no salary" in the crusaders also made these peasants from the bottom start to get tired of these wars one after another, and even began to avoid and flee.

The fall of comrades-in-arms Paoze one after another also made them feel that there is an essential difference between the army from the northwest and those imperial troops that are about to collapse at a touch. Soldiers who have not experienced too many cruel battles began to feel the cruelty of war, and the surrender terms announced by the leader can allow those who do not want to surrender to leave. trap.

There seems to be only one way left, and that is to surrender, to surrender sincerely, and the generous salaries and lenient policies of the Northwest Army have already caused various shocks among these people who have never enjoyed similar conditions. The reason why they voluntarily followed the coach to surrender was that such a change was not only unexpected to Jiang Bin, but even Wufeng was also surprised. Could this be the tenacious and unyielding army that was fighting with his own army two days ago? The truth that the material basis determines everything seems to be particularly obvious and correct in this surrender process, which makes Wufeng simply unimaginable.

"Brother Jiang, what are you going to do in the future?" Wufeng asked casually while walking casually on the city wall. After a long day's talk, from political economy to military strategy, no frontal debate was fully demonstrated, and Jiang Bin also deeply realized the difference between the Taiping sect he originally followed and the power represented by this guy in front of him. How big is it? Although there is no clue from the current situation, Jiang Bin knows that the two sides are in an extremely unequal position from the beginning. It is an extremely asymmetric competition. The sky is full of turmoil, and even the foundation of the empire can be shaken, but it will never be the Taiping Sect that wins the world in the end. Li Wufeng's broad-minded ambition and foresight convinced Jiang Bin in the shortest time. He was even grateful that he had made a A very conscious choice, recalling that for a period of time he was indulging in the illusion that the Taiping Sect ruled the world, he felt ashamed of his naivety and simplicity of thinking.

"My lord, since Jiang has surrendered, he will naturally act in accordance with his orders. It's just that this army may be a little different from the elite soldiers under your command. For one thing, they have not undergone formal training, and they all rely on a single weapon to fight. Second, after all, they have only experienced such a **** battle, and their morale has also been hit. Third, if they want to immediately turn their guns to attack the Taiping Army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn their minds around for a while, so please understand, sir... "..." Jiang Bin expressed his opinion euphemistically. He knew that although the man in front of him was young, all the generals under his command were experienced in fighting, but they all bowed their heads and ears in front of this man. People's ability to see is extraordinary. I naturally need to be cautious in my words and deeds in front of him to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Brother Jiang, you don't have to be so polite. Li will never go back on what he promised. I have no intention of letting your army participate in the battle against the Taiping Army, but I want to hear how you plan to transform this army. , as far as I know, although your army is still stable, there are still many problems." Wufeng shook his head lightly and explained with a smile.

"My lord is serious. Since Jiang has surrendered, this army will naturally belong to your command, my lord. Jiang is only entrusted by your lord to take care of it temporarily. It's just that there is a problem with what your lord said, and Jiang also feels it. Although more than 20,000 people followed Jiang and surrendered, there are already many people who have two ambitions, but they have to pretend to be obedient because they are worried about being retaliated and assassinated. I think we should first remove these people Clean it up and keep only those who are really willing to serve you, the situation will be much better." Jiang Bin also understood the meaning of Wufeng's words, and he didn't worry about other things, after all, if the other party didn't trust himself and his The army, it is possible to take down yourself and your army when you have an absolute advantage after entering the city and accepting the surrender, but the other party did not do this. Happy and ashamed.

"Well, this must be resolved immediately. I don't want this kind of phenomenon to exist in my army. Brother Jiang can reiterate that those who don't want to stay can leave safely and pay travel expenses, but they must not be in places under my control. Stay in the area, give one last time, if you don't leave and have different ideas, then don't blame us for not giving them a chance." Wufeng's words were very peaceful, but the last sentence was faintly stern.

Jiang Bin nodded in understanding to express his agreement. The military is not any other department. Disloyalty to the commander-in-chief is absolutely not allowed. , will never allow those who have two ambitions to mix in this army, but according to Jiang's opinion, the number of such people will not be too large. After all, most of them have left when the announcement was made, and the rest will either They are old brothers who have followed Jiang for many years, or they are left behind by admiration of your lord's fame, these two aspects should account for the vast majority."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this question. What I just asked you has another meaning. How do you plan to reform your army?" Wufeng didn't want to go around too much, and asked the core of the question directly.

Jiang Bin's face became serious. He also knew that the coach invited him out to discuss this issue. He said it was a discussion, but it was actually to save face. Of course, he is the leader of this army, and the other party must also consult. He had already prepared his own opinion in his heart.

"My lord, my idea is that after cleaning up the unstable elements in the army, can I first bring the troops to an area designated by my lord, it is best to break away from the area in contact with the Taiping Army, disrupt the original organization, and follow the The establishment of the Northwest Army is undergoing retraining. I heard that the Northwest Military Academy is the cradle for training officers at all levels. Could you please arrange for some graduates to serve in this army, and you can also select some talented officers and soldiers from among the existing officers and soldiers? Potential and promising people go to the Northwest Military Academy to study and train, so that they can systematically learn and master military knowledge, and I also want to take this opportunity to study in the academy." Jiang Bin solemnly suggested to Wufeng.

Wufeng couldn't help but admire the shrewdness of the guy in front of him. He almost covered all the issues he had considered, fully confessed his loyalty to himself, and expressed his views without leaving any traces. Many problems that I thought of were summarized in it. A veteran is a veteran, and he does everything without leaking.

"It's a good idea. Changing the organization is inevitable. Since you are a member of the Northwest Army, of course you have to follow the existing organization of the Northwest Army. What you said about letting graduates from the military academy take up positions and allowing officers to enter the military Academy training is a good way, all matters are up to you to decide, but you are not in it for the time being, this army cannot do without you for the time being, and you are still needed to stabilize the overall situation, you don't need to have other unnecessary thoughts, Mr. Li People have always done things aboveboard, if there is any change, I will negotiate with you directly." As if he had seen through Jiang Bin's thoughts, Wufeng smiled faintly, but in Jiang Bin's eyes, there seemed to be a little more kindness of ridicule.

"As for where to go for training and reorganization ~IndoMTL.com~ I think Northern Luzon should be a good place. If necessary, you can also go to Wusun and Bejara for training. By the way, you can broaden your horizons. Civil war is not counted. A hero, if you have the ability to pull it out and show your prestige outside, then you can be regarded as a real hero." Patting Jiang Bin on the shoulder, Wufeng stared meaningfully at the other party's complicated face, and said with a smile, "I'll give you In half a year, I hope to see a brand new army in half a year."

Can't help but let out a long sigh, Jiang Bin has complicated emotions in his heart, what else can he say? Instead, his tentative behavior became a manifestation of narrow-mindedness. The other party's mind is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. A scholar dies for his confidant. This sentence is probably the only sentence that can sum up Jiang Bin's mood at this time.

Seeing the expression on the other party's face, how could Wufeng not understand what the other party was thinking: "Brother Jiang, you don't have to say anything else, Li can tell you frankly, Li is not willing to come back again. People who are inferior to others have a lifetime of only a few decades. If you want to leave a scene on the huge and long historical stage, you must seize the opportunity to show yourself. Now that history has given you and me opportunities, why can't we firmly grasp the opportunity? How about using this opportunity for me to leave a strong mark on the historical records of the mainland?"

These words set off a huge wave in Jiang Bin's heart. Even if it was a long talk overnight, he had never opened his heart like this to a general who had just surrendered like himself. Unprecedented level, nothing else to say, Jiang Bin, whose face was flushed, just respectfully saluted: "I am willing to serve my lord!"

It was probably at this time that this guy really surrendered himself from the bottom of his heart. Rao Wufeng was calm and self-confident, so he couldn't help but develop an air of contemptuousness at this time.
