Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 37: Love

After the relationship was relatively harmonious, Kamapov still asked the question he was most concerned about: "Mr. Long has led the rebels here to resist the harassment of the rebellious army for a certain period of time. What's wrong with the activity?"

Hearing Kamapov's question, Long Zi and Hillman were taken aback for a moment, and then they both showed thoughtful expressions on their faces. Answer: "In the past ten days or so, the rebellion army seems to have suddenly given up their military operations. Our scouts have not found any trace of them for several days. It turned out that Hillman and I thought it was because of the government army's march into Guide. The pressure made the rebellious army not dare to act rashly, but today I saw that the general's team didn't seem to have experienced any battles, so I felt a little strange. Could it be that the rebellious army in the west of Guide disappeared? Now I heard the general ask this question , I think the generals may not have found the enemy after entering Guide, right?"

Kamapov didn't want to hide it, nodded, "That's right, Commander Cui Wenxiu and I searched the entire western part of Guide, and found that these disorderly troops retreated ten days ago. So I want to know Does this phenomenon also appear in your area?"

Long smiled wryly by himself, "It should be. About ten days ago, the activities of the rebel army had been greatly reduced, but it didn't attract our attention at that time. Later, our scouts discovered that the rebel army was making military transfers. It seems to have moved to the north, our strength is too weak, and it is quite difficult to protect ourselves, not enough to entangle the enemy, and we have not attracted attention..."

Kamapov shook his hand, "Mr. Long, don't worry. I don't mean to blame Mr. Long and the volunteer soldiers. It is the responsibility of the government army to suppress the rebellion and bandits. Although we are the garrison of Qingyang Mansion , but the current city guard of Qingyang Mansion, Lord Li Wufeng, has been appointed by the central government of the empire as the military and political envoy of the Northwest County of the Empire, in charge of all military and political affairs of the six prefectures of the county, and has been ordered by the emperor to put down the rebellion in the Northwest. We are all cultivated by Lord Li Yes, it is equivalent to Lord Li's direct troops. Guide Mansion is also Master Li's territory. We are duty-bound to quell the rebellion, restore the normal production and living order in the local area, and protect the lives and property of the people in this area. Lord Li has great respect for Guide and Bonan. The government has been paying attention to the chaos of the government for a long time, and expressed deep sympathy for the sufferings suffered by the people of the two governments. However, due to improper names and words, it was inconvenient to intervene until the empire issued an order to suppress the rebellion. As for Mr. Long and Mr. Hillman who can lead The rebel army shed blood and sweat to defend the safety of the place, I only have respect and admiration, and I have no other thoughts.”

Kamapov's eloquent words were not only for Long Zizi and Hillman, but also for Ji Gaoming, the warden of Shilipu, and Chu Juezhi, the president of the chamber of commerce, who were sitting beside them.

When they heard that Li Wufeng had been appointed by the empire as the military and political envoy of the Northwest County, they were even more surprised and delighted.

Li Wufeng's reputation among the people in the Northwest region has even surpassed that of the emperor of the empire. He established the alliance under the city, and swept away the bandit forces that had been entrenched in the northwest for a long time with lightning speed, completely eliminating the banditry that harmed one side. He also lightly paid taxes, reduced taxes and fees, built water conservancy projects, paid attention to infrastructure construction, resolved ethnic conflicts, and vigorously developed the local economy. In just two or three years, the economy and population of Qingyang Prefecture under his administration exploded. With the rapid growth in the same way, the economy of Jinzhou Prefecture has also recovered its vitality. Some old people even spontaneously asked to build a ancestral hall for him and pay tribute to him. Of course, this was firmly stopped by Li Wufeng.

These situations are well known by the lower-class people and businessmen in the surrounding prefectures and counties. While they are envious, they also long for such a parent official. Now knowing that Li Wufeng has officially assumed the post of military and political governor of Northwest County, how can they not be overjoyed.

Several people hurriedly asked about the details of Li Wufeng's appointment as military governor of Northwest County. Kamapov saw that several people were so interested in this matter, so he explained the details one by one.

After a long time, the discussion about Li Wufeng's appointment finally came to an end, and then Kamapov asked about the situation of the rebel army, "In your opinion, Mr. Long, the rebel army was originally active in the south of Guide. Since the transfer to the north, and the transfer started before the departure of our government troops, what is the reason and where will the transfer go?"

Seeing that Kamapov attaches great importance to his opinion, Long Zi was also very relieved. He racked his brains and thought for a long time before expressing his thoughts: "According to what your lord said, I suspect that the rebel army must have obtained it in advance." It was only when they heard the news that the government troops would march in large-scale, that they moved, and there must be someone in the middle of it, otherwise, how could the rebellious troops who were not united all move so uniformly? As for them all moving to the north, especially There must be a reason for moving to the northeast, and I dare not make a judgment without evidence to prove what the reason is."

Long Zizi's deduction is not much different from what Cui Wenxiu and Kamapov originally thought. It's just that the situation has changed. Almost all the rebellious troops are moving to the northeast, but the northeast is Taixuan Mansion in Northwest County. There are three elite garrison divisions stationed here. The rebel army will not ignore this, which makes people a little worried. speak out.

Kamapov also nodded in satisfaction. He could understand Long Zi's thoughts. After all, the status of the people involved was very different, and Long Zi himself was just a small volunteer leader who had not been recognized by the government. To put it bluntly, he is just a commoner, so of course it is impossible to draw conclusions casually. But what he meant, Kamapov had already understood, and it was in line with his own thoughts.

Soon, the topic shifted to other issues. Soon, Sang Sheng had already arranged the camping and security work for the troops, and came to the town office to have a specially prepared dinner with those present.

During the meeting, Kamapov also asked about the future of the volunteers. After all, Shilipu is now under the control of the government army, and all security tasks have been taken over by the government army. The volunteer organization is originally a temporary Now that it has completed its mission, it is time to die, but the fate of these personnel is a problem. When it came to this question, Long Zi had an indelible look on his face. These personnel were all recruited by him, and he spent a lot of effort to organize training. Although they could not compare with the regular army, they also possessed certain combat effectiveness. However, the imperial law clearly stipulates that there is no regular army in the towns below the government office, only police stations are set up as a regular force to maintain local law and order. Not to mention that Long Zi and Hillman were reluctant to disband the volunteer soldiers in this way, even Kamapov and Sang Sheng felt deeply sorry.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of Long Zizi and Hillman, Sang Sheng was also a little moved, "Master, do you think we can...?"

Kamapov also sighed. He didn't know what Long Zizi and Hillman were thinking. Before the meal, Ji Gaoming and Chu Juezhi also asked him whether they could incorporate this team. We learned from the conversation that Long Zizi and Hillman were indeed rare talents. With time, I believed that the combat effectiveness of the volunteer army would be no less than that of the regular army.

At this time, Sang Sheng brought up this topic again. Looking at the eager eyes of everyone present, Kamapov could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, "I understand what everyone is thinking. To be honest, I I also really want volunteer soldiers to join our ranks, but unauthorized expansion and recruitment of soldiers is strictly prohibited by the army from top to bottom, I am just a division commander, I don’t have this right at all, I really can’t help it.” Said After that, he also sighed.

"Master, can't you be flexible?" Sang Sheng still didn't give up.

"Sang Sheng, you also know that since the establishment of our team, only Master Li has the right to decide whether to expand the army and recruit troops. Others, including General Liang and General Cui, and even Master Ling Tianfang have no right to ask. "Kamapov also has difficulties that are difficult to explain. The superiors have always been the most taboo for subordinates to expand their power without approval. If it fails, they will say that you cultivate private power and end up in an ugly end. Throughout the ages, such examples abound in history. Yes. Although I am loyal to Mr. Li ~IndoMTL.com~ Mr. Li also trusts me a lot, and his mind is also extraordinary, but I am mainly worried about being suspected by others.

"But the volunteer soldiers are all from Guide, and they are very familiar with the geographical environment here. If they join us, it will make us even more powerful, and it will be of great benefit to future battles. I think Master Li will support us here way." Sang Sheng was eloquent.

In fact, Kamapov has been thinking about the reason for these volunteer soldiers to join and he can have an explanation to the higher-ups when he goes back. Hearing what Sang Sheng said, his eyes lit up, yes, he thought it would be smoother He searched for the whereabouts of the rebellious army, and it was too late to report, "Well, let me think about it," hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind, "Then I will override the power once, I believe Master Li can understand. How about it, Let the volunteers join us first, and temporarily reorganize into two brigades, as the brigades directly under our division, and after going back to report, it will be decided by Master Li."

Hearing these few words from Kamapov's mouth, everyone present was overjoyed, Ji Gaoming raised his wine glass first, "Come on, let's have a toast to add fresh blood to our army! "

The "hero's blood" hoarded for thirty years was drunk by everyone, and Kamapov temporarily put aside other concerns, "To be honest, I really hope that people like Mr. Long and Hillman will join us In the future, we will be brothers in the trenches. Master Li is a true hero, and what he values ​​most is talent. I believe that Mr. Long and Mr. Hillman will make great achievements under Lord Li's command."

"The head of the division has said it before. People have self-knowledge, so we need to ask the head of the division for more guidance." Long Zizi and Hillman kept their heads clear despite the excitement, which made Kamapov Both Sang Sheng and Sang Sheng were secretly satisfied that they had not misjudged the wrong person.
