Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first

"Brother Tianxiong, of course Ma Yuanxiang's methods are more than that. After he took over as the head of the Imperial Guard Corps, he consciously wanted to gradually change the current situation of the Imperial Guard Corps. It is very practical, that is, to consciously transfer officers and soldiers with rich combat experience from various field regiments of the empire to serve in the imperial guards, without the restriction that the imperial guards must be the children of Zhongzhou, although this method will affect the imperial guards to a certain extent. The so-called purity of the guards has played a very good role in improving the combat effectiveness of the guards. During his tenure as the head of the army, this kind of transfer and exchange has continued almost all the time. Of course, this was also supported by the emperor at the time. After all, if an army that has been unable to fight for a long time wants to maintain a high combat effectiveness, it can only be solved by some special means. The officers and soldiers deployed were all over the seven field legions of the empire at that time, especially the first, second, third, and third armies. The officers in the four or four legions who have experienced various wars cover all levels from senior to junior, which also caused dissatisfaction among several field legions, but for this kind of transfer, it is quite an honor to enter the Imperial Guard , so most of them are quite willing in their hearts, and with the support of His Majesty the Emperor, no one dares to resist."

Huangfu Tiancheng patiently explained that Ma Yuanxiang's ability to become the number one in the imperial army was by no means accidental, and it was impossible without any real materials. If you underestimate the capabilities of the imperial guards, if you don't do it well, you will bring inevitable losses to your own side.

"In addition, Ma Yuanxiang paid more attention to the graduates of the Imperial Military Academy, especially many in-service officers who entered the Imperial Military Academy from various field regiments for training. Field regiments require the Military Affairs Administration to clearly guarantee that officers who enter the Imperial Military Academy for training must return to the original regiment before they are willing to let them participate in the training. This also shows to a certain extent that Ma Yuanxiang attaches great importance to this aspect. Of course, in terms of daily training intensity The divisions of the Imperial Guard are also not the same, and it also has a certain impact on the battles of the divisions."

"So the Imperial Guard's combat effectiveness is quite strong?" Song Tianxiong pondered for a long time before asking.

"No, Brother Tianxiong misunderstood what I meant. Although the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guard has been improved to a certain extent under Ma Yuanxiang's adjustment, after all, most of the Imperial Guard's strength has been stationed in the imperial capital for a long time. Without a battle, a small number of officers with combat experience cannot fundamentally reverse the combat effectiveness of the entire Imperial Guard. The affluent life in the imperial capital has a great corrosive effect on the combat effectiveness of the army, so I can only say that this army has a certain combat effectiveness , but if you want to say how strong it is, my personal opinion is not too serious, especially after watching the performance of Brother Tianxiong's Tiger Wing Army. If he wants to shake the big tree in Jinzhong with the four Imperial Guard divisions in his hands, I think he will only be beaten to death."

Huangfu Tiancheng's last words were quite solid, not only reminded the two not to underestimate the enemy, but also not to be too cautious.

"That day Cheng thought that Ma Yuan would let his Imperial Guards come for a try?" Bo Jinchen had never been involved in the discussion between the two on the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards, he was more concerned about the Imperial Guards and their garrison The movement of the Eighth and Ninth Army in the south of Zhongzhou.

"Well, from the perspective of nature, I'm afraid this time they can't help but go far away. The current situation in the south is extremely serious for them. If they can't win a complete victory in the north, I'm afraid the Situ Dynasty will collapse immediately, so Tian Cheng thinks that this battle Ma Yuan will have to come if he comes or not, but I guess that Ma Yuan will most likely drag the Eighth and Ninth Legions up as a backstop." Huangfu Tian Cheng is quite sure of this point.

"Well, the Eighth and Ninth Legions have always had an ambiguous attitude, but these two legions are not worth mentioning to be honest. In the south of Zhongzhou, they are defending the south in name, but I doubt that the real Master Liang and the others will come from Jiujiang. Launch an attack over there. Can these two legions hold out for a day?" Song Tianxiong shook his head disapprovingly and continued, "Even if these two legions are besieging the forbidden zone together with the guards of the restricted area, I don't see that they can How useful is it? If I were Ma Yuanxiang, I really wanted to fight this battle. Then I might as well try it with my own real strength."

"Tianxiong, although there is some truth in what you said, everyone knows that in Jinzhong City we only have two divisions with Tiancheng as a division. No matter how bad it is, we can always make up the number of people. If the two legions each occupy one of the gates to launch an attack, we will always have to mobilize some forces to disperse the defense, which can also achieve the purpose of containing our defense forces." Bo Jinchen is more inclined to Huangfu Tiancheng the opinion of.

"Well, let's wait and see. One day, Brother Tiancheng analyzed the details of the Imperial Guards for me. Brothers should feel more at ease. Fortunately, Jinzhong City is still safe, and the defense system is basically sound. Ma Yuan If we want to come and touch each other, I also happen to let the Tiger Wing Army practice their skills. Our Tiger Wing Army has always been mainly engaged in offensive operations, and this time we will test our defense ability, which can be regarded as a comprehensive exercise." Song Tianxiong nodded, and the Tiger Wing Army It is necessary to use the first battle to prove that this army, which was directly awarded the title of His Highness King Qin for the first time, is definitely not in vain. Isn't it the best opportunity to fight more with less?

"Perhaps it might not be a good thing for us to let the imperial guards touch Jinzhong." Bo Jinchen's eyes became deeper, "We don't have much power in the imperial capital. The opportunity to completely defeat the Praetorian Guards will be of great benefit to us in the next step."

"But Mr. Bo, it might not be difficult to defend the Jinzhong Mansion, and it can even be done by repelling the imperial guards, but it may be difficult to completely defeat the imperial guards in one fell swoop." Huangfu Tiancheng seemed to be aware of this. The calm old man always thinks one step further than others. When these people are still considering the possibility of the Imperial Guards invading Jinzhong and the possible situation of the war, he is already thinking about how to completely eliminate this force. up.

"Well, it depends on how we plan the battle." Bo Jinchen nodded.

Situ Yushuang has been in a state of excitement for the past few days. Although Jiangnan has fallen, the war in the north has officially begun. The Fifth Army, Situ Yushuang firmly believed in this. If the elite army of more than 400,000 could not wipe out an incomplete Fifth Army in Western Xinjiang, then according to Situ Yushuang's thinking, the leaders of these armies and soldiers would also Well, you can really kill yourself to thank the people of the country.

For this battle, Situ Yushuang thinks that she has exhausted her mind and painstakingly. From raising military expenses to appealing to public opinion, from war arrangements to foreign negotiations, Situ Yushuang has to personally participate in almost everything, especially in order to protect The success of the northern campaign and the huge funding gap made Situ Yushuang visit the imperial capital almost door-to-door. These financiers who had invested heavily in the early stage were either earnest, or intimidating, or acted both hard and soft. Take out money at a time to continue to support the military operations of the empire and King Situtai of Yan.

As for the Imperial Finance General Administration, Situ Yushuang has actually emptied Tian Yi and is in charge of the financial operations of the entire empire. Minister of Finance Tian Yi also took the opportunity to claim illness and asked to resign, but the unknown whereabouts of a huge gold reserve in the imperial treasury seemed to cast a shadow over the Minister of Finance. The emperor has already transferred the funds into the internal treasury, but there is no record of the gold reserves of the 200 million imperial gold coins in the internal treasury, which made Situ Yushuang suspicious of the former finance minister. Yi seemed to be very cooperative. Except for the fact that the direction of the funds could not be ascertained, Tian Yi gave Situ Yushuang unreserved support for all other matters, and he never left his house half a step away. The investigation did not yield valuable clues~IndoMTL.com~ This made Situ Yushuang have to consider the consequences when he wanted to turn his face, especially from the reaction of the internal treasury, the former emperor did indeed withdraw funds from the treasury precedent.

But the amount of funds is too large and it is too important for the Situ Dynasty who is currently in internal and external troubles. Gold worth 200 million can simply solve the urgent needs of the empire. Situ Yushuang couldn't think of a suitable solution except to ask the internal affairs department to closely monitor Tian Yi. After all, Tian Yi's position as Minister of Finance has not yet resigned, and he is also the senior minister of the former emperor, and he also has considerable influence among the nobles of the imperial capital. If you want to move him, it will inevitably cause an earthquake in the political arena. At this time, it seems a little unwise. It seems that the only way to deal with him is to wait until the victory of the northern war is over. Right now, you can only work harder on yourself, and visit the door one by one. Visit these guys who don't want to pluck their hair, beat it, and struggle through it.

Now it seems that it is time to repay all this. The coalition army's military operation in Yunzhong Mansion is about to start, and the City Guard Army and the Third Army Army have also approached the city of Longquan. Now only the Imperial Guard Army still needs a good life. Hit Ma Yuanxiang, this guy always shirks in the name of the imperial guards not being able to leave the imperial capital, what time is it now, the life and death of the empire is at a critical juncture, this guy is still clinging to the rules of death, Situ Yushuang simply doesn't understand Ma Yuan How did he become the head of the Imperial Guard, or did this guy have other plans?
