Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 3 Xunyang Tower (1)
Liang Chongxin stood on the Xunyang Tower, and a round of red sun gushed out from the river. Going down to the west, the smell of fishy and damp at this moment also smells a bit moistening the lungs and comforting the heart. Liang Chongxin doesn't know when he likes the morning view of Xunyang Tower, and scholars and scholars prefer to go to Xunyang Tower in the evening. Drink a few cups, watch the majestic scenery of the mighty river with thousands of sails, and taste the poignant artistic conception of fishing boats singing at night and fishing alone, which has won a lot of reputation for Jiujiang
But Liang Chongxin didn't like this kind of lonely and desolate scenery very much. In his opinion, maybe the different circumstances in life created their own different aesthetic angles. He preferred the morning view of Xunyang Tower. With a pot of clear tea, watching the moment when the red sun first shines, Liang Chongxin felt that his whole body was full of excitement and pleasure
On the third floor, only Liang Chongxin stood alone, his body was still so burly and majestic after taking off his military uniform, the faint sunlight shone on the floor, adding a bit of tranquility, and the sound of footsteps came up from the second floor , there is no one else who can disturb him at this time except Cheng Dayou. Liang Chongxin knows that this new colleague has never been willing to be lonely. Seeing that he is about to go to the East China Sea, he is afraid that he can't wait to complete the preparations earlier. let's go
"Brother Chongxin is indeed here. I heard that brother Chongxin fell in love with the morning view of the Xunyang Tower. Dayou came here after finding the way, and was finally bumped into by Dayou." People have not yet gone upstairs , the clear voice has arrived first, it is Cheng Dayou, the commander of the Eighth Army of Xijiang.
Even early in the morning, Cheng Dayou was wearing light armor and a blue-gray cloak. He looked heroic and had a murderous aura, and the saber at his waist moved with him, following the footsteps of the wrapped The scabbard was shaking slightly, and the scabbard was slightly cold, and an irrepressible and aggressive momentum rushed over
"I'm afraid Dayou is here to enjoy the morning view of Xunyang Tower, right? Is it really impatient to get up so early? No hurry, no hurry, what should be ours is always ours, and we are afraid that it will fly away?" Liang Chongxin turned his head and smiled and teased the other party, while extending his hand to signal the other party to take a seat
"Brother Chongxin is right, haste makes waste. My Eighth Army Corps really needs a rest and replenishment. The Kansai Preparatory Recruits have just been sent to the divisions, and it will take a few days. Let's get used to it. After a few fierce battles, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be seen to be higher than that of the Eighth Army. It seems that the training is still lacking in regularization. The students of the Military Academy give priority to the Eighth Army. In addition, I also decided to let the Eighth Army send more officers to the Military Academy for advanced studies. I don’t know if I don’t fight a war. No matter if you were the best in the previous Taiping Army and surrendered to the empire, you can still gain a firm foothold in the imperial army. Unexpectedly, the Sixth Army of the Empire of Kim Jong Yang, oh, no, now it is the Ninth Army. It can cause our army to suffer heavy losses, it seems that Dayou will never dare to underestimate the people of the world"
Although Cheng Dayou's words were full of emotions, he could still hear the indescribable pride in his tone. After all, his Eighth Army was outnumbered and achieved impressive results, even though it suffered heavy losses. , but it won an excellent opportunity for the Xijiang Army to enter the Five Lakes eastward, and this fierce battle also allowed his troops to hold their heads high and win a place among the strong Xijiang Army.
"Hehe, don't be dissatisfied, Dayou. Your Eighth Army's performance is already eye-catching. Otherwise, His Royal Highness King Qin would not have instructed the Kansai Reserve Army to give priority to meeting your needs. You must know that the Kansai Reserve Army is a training Well-trained, apart from not having been in a formal war, the quality and morale of individual soldiers are among the best. As long as these guys are led by veterans and go through two decent battles, they can immediately become a tiger and wolf army. A battle in the cloud is sure It will be extremely tragic. After this battle, Lao Ka’s Fifth Army doesn’t know how much it can retain. Rao is probably still thinking about where to get so many qualified reserve soldiers to replenish.” Liang Chongxin smiled and took a sip of tea, sipping Sitting, sitting and watching the morning scenery, tasting green snails slowly, and laughing and talking about fighting with colleagues and friends, how pleasant is this time, people just need to learn to sneak in and adjust their physical and psychological relaxation.
"Hey, it's better to strike first. Who let the Fifth Army take part in the Battle of Clouds? But I heard that the Fifth Army is good at defense, and the Northern Alliance is bound to win. I'm afraid this battle will A deadly battle" smacked his lips, and Cheng Dayou sat down with a golden knife, but his words always revolved around the war in the north
"Well, the characteristics of the old card is that it is stable and thick, and the strength is not the strong point of the fifth army. This defense, I am afraid that the first army will let them get three points. Hehe, I am afraid that this battle will be enough for the coalition forces. , but the strength of the northern coalition is too strong, and the strength of the two sides is very different. Chu Taifeng's army is not in vain. It dares to be called the number one army of the empire. No two brushes can't support this brand. It's not going to end forever." Sighing with emotion, Liang Chongxin's eyes suddenly became a little deep, as if he had already flown into the distant clouds, wanting to savor the battle in detail
"Brother Chongxin, the Battle of Yunzhong should be the node for His Royal Highness King Qin to win the world, but for us, it can't help us now, we can only do our own work, and strive to send troops earlier to share the burden The situation in the East China Sea is under pressure from the north. Apart from Luyang and Pengcheng, there are two divisions of the so-called 15th Army Corps, two divisions of the 15th Army Corps in Jinling, and one division. Stationed in Dengzhou, this amount of troops can’t stop our army from advancing. I think that with another week’s preparation, the Eighth Army will be able to launch the Northern Expedition. I wonder how your arrangements are going?” Cheng Da You was already a little eager to try, but the Eighth Army's loss in the early stage was too great, so he had to settle down to reorganize the army. Fortunately, the reserve soldiers had been replenished, and with a little training, they could participate in the first conquest in their lives. The blood and corpses of the army to establish the prestige of the Eighth Army
"Well, I'm going to march northward the day after tomorrow. Regarding Qiu Zicheng's department, I have already submitted a report to the Military Affairs Department and His Highness the King of Qin, recommending the formation of the Tenth Army in Western Xinjiang. Now temporarily let Qiu Zicheng command these troops that are undergoing reorganization to step up their efforts. Training, by the way, stationed in Jiangnan and Wuhu. Now there are nine legions directly under the Western Xinjiang. I guess His Highness King Qin will not easily agree to form a new legion. It's just that Qiu Zicheng's department has performed very well, and there are many original departments. The officers are all from the Fifth Army of the Empire, and the combat effectiveness is still not satisfactory. If the financial support is still available, I think the Tenth Army should be established, but I am afraid that this will be firmly opposed by Xiao Tang and James." Liang Chongxin pondered for a while Fang Dao, Qiu Zicheng's department still has as many as four divisions after reorganization and reorganization. While carrying out further reduction and training, Liang Chongxin has also sent letters twice to the Military Affairs Department and His Highness King Qin requesting that Qiu Zicheng's department be given a The serial number has been clarified, but there has been no response. Liang Chongxin estimates that on this issue, the Government Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department have another disagreement. Now it depends on how His Royal Highness King Qin decides
"Oh? Is there anything worth arguing about? As long as His Royal Highness King Qin makes a decision, we will just obey. Is there anyone else who would dare to defy or obey? He is not very used to the military and political operation of Xijiang. In his mind, this issue only needs the consent of His Royal Highness King Qin to make a decision. Why is it so cumbersome and procrastinated?
"Dayou, I'm afraid you are not very clear about the operation of our military and political structure in Western Xinjiang. If the expansion of the army does not obtain the consent of the Government Affairs Department, His Royal Highness Qin Wang will generally not approve it. This is a test that must be passed. With the support of the Government Affairs Department, it is almost impossible to expand the army, and even His Royal Highness the King of Qin cannot violate this principle casually, except in emergencies." Liang Chongxin replied with a smile: "So every expansion of the army will always trigger fierce conflicts between the military and the government. Arguing, Xiao Tang and James have become the two shackles of our military. If these two shackles are not lifted, our military expansion plan will be in vain. Generally speaking, His Royal Highness Qin Wang is neutral and will not express opinions, hehe, This also means that if the army wants to expand its army, it must convince both of them"
Nodding silently, Cheng Dayou seemed to be digesting the shock that Liang Chongxin's words had brought to him. He did not expect that there would be such a military and political control method in Western Xinjiang, and that the expansion of the army would need to be approved by the government. As the military and political leader, His Royal Highness King Qin would still adopt a neutral attitude. This is really unbelievable. In his mind, the army is the guarantee of everything in troubled times. Just like himself in Jiujiang, as long as he can support himself, he will do his best To expand the army, everything needs to give priority to the protection of military needs, and in the western border army sequence, it has to be approved by the government. If it is changed to other countries and forces, I am afraid that it is too late to welcome it. It seems that even my own number one The Eighth Legion performed well in the First Battle of Nine Yellows, otherwise it might not have been so easy to obtain the designation and organization of a legion
