Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 17: The Resurrection
The entire trip to Jinzhou was a complete success. During this period, accompanied by Ling Tianfang, I inspected the road construction site from Woyuan Town to Heping Town, and delivered an enthusiastic speech on the construction site, encouraging all The people of the ethnic group go all out to strive for the upper reaches, and build a new Jinzhou more quickly, better and more economically. Later, I inspected the construction of market towns in Woyuan Town and Heping Town, and cut the ribbon for the newly built local hospitals and schools. Encourage the local Gaoyue people to go out boldly, go outside to gain knowledge and learn skills.
At the meeting of grassroots government officials in the southern and western areas of Jinzhou Prefecture, while affirming the achievements made by grassroots officials of various ethnic groups, I also warned them that I will never tolerate discrimination against ethnic minorities, but I will never tolerate discrimination against ethnic minorities. Some people will not be allowed to use their ethnicity to disobey the management of the local government, or to engage in corruption for personal gain, or to corrupt the law. No matter which ethnicity an official is, or what position he holds, he must accept the supervision of the Supervision Bureau. Once any illegal behavior is found, he will be severely punished. No negligence, and no one is above the law. Under my insinuating beating, a few people had to voluntarily surrender to the Supervision Bureau after the meeting.
After the meeting, I had a separate meeting with the four elders of the Gaoyue tribe. They have gradually adapted to their status as officials of the imperial government, and I hope that they will gradually integrate into the Jinzhou region and become my subordinates. ordinary member. I asked them to strengthen the management and education of their subordinates, improve the quality of government officials, and at the same time invited four people to Jinzhou to watch the military training report.
During the subsequent report exercise of the two guard divisions in Jinzhou, I invited all the celebrities, gentry, wealthy businessmen, and government officials at all levels in Jinzhou to watch, and made an exception to allow some people in the prefecture to enter the field to watch . The drill was an unprecedented success. After watching the drill of the Second Guard Division composed of Gaoyue people, the gentry and merchants were shocked by the amazing combat effectiveness of the Gaoyue soldiers, and even more so that I was able to take such a force into my arms. I feel admiration; and the elders of the Gaoyue tribe are also very proud of being able to inspect the garrison of the Jinzhou government. This is something that the Gaoyue tribe had never thought about before, and it is also something that the Gaoyue tribe in other places have never thought about. Special treatment, which also fully reflects my policy of equality for all ethnic groups. My prestige has also risen to an unprecedented height. Almost everyone regards me as the emperor of Jinzhou Prefecture, and I have also received enthusiastic welcome from the local people everywhere.
In my spare time, I play around with Lu Xianxian and Di Lena. Naturally, Lu Xianxian is the best tour guide, and I have fun with the two girls at night. I also took the time to visit Lu Yunshan, who is already the chairman of the Jinzhou Chamber of Commerce. He has become a busy man now. He not only invests heavily in the southern area of Jinzhou, builds several new medicine halls to purchase medicinal materials, but also has to deal with During the conversation, he also said that he would expand the export of medicinal materials to the Empire's Jiangnan County, Wuhu County and the Kingdom of Milan. I also talked to him about Lu Xianxian's relationship, he just hoped that I would not disappoint Xianxian, he didn't say much else, he is a sensible person, in fact, he already knew how far my relationship with Lu Xianxian has developed.
Entering August, the temperature is even hotter. Fortunately, Jinzhou is an excellent summer resort due to its high forest coverage. An urgent report sent me had to set off back to Qingyang.
"Currently, the situation in Guide and Bonan Prefectures is out of control. Except for the capital city, most of the other areas have been controlled by the rioting army and those bandit organizations who took advantage of the fire. Master Cui has already asked me to report the activities in the border area between Yang and Jinzhou. What should I do? Can I cross the border and pursue? Also, the Luobei people’s expedition to the east has already been mobilized in advance of the war. According to intelligence reports, this It is estimated that the Luobei people's eastern expedition force will be more than the previous year, reaching 200,000, and it is estimated that the proportion of infantry will also increase significantly compared to the previous year. Intelligence also shows that as early as the first half of the year, Luobei People ordered a large number of siege equipment from the Famini Empire in the western continent, including large-scale siege weapons such as siege vehicles, arrow towers, and crash vehicles." Mo Lun also seemed worried when he reported.
If this is the case, the Luobei people seem to want to get back their losses from me, but will they be able to do so?
I squinted my eyes, lay on the grand master's chair, listened to Morun's detailed introduction of various aspects, and asked Morun casually: "The Luobei people have suffered a severe drought again, and they must search the surrounding neighbors again. , how did the countries of the Western Regions react?"
"The people of Luobei have issued a list of needed supplies to the five countries of the Western Regions. The five countries of the Western Regions have responded very strongly. They have sent people to negotiate with the people of Luobei, but the specific situation is still unclear."
"Then did the five countries of the Western Regions send people to contact us to jointly resist the Luobei people?" Although I have no hope for the five countries of the Western Regions, I also want to see the patience of these five countries in the face of the Luobei people's blackmail. How long can it last.
"So far, no one has contacted us." Xiao Tang replied.
"It seems that the countries in the Western Regions are still too afraid of the military strength of the Luobei people, and they are not at ease with us." I smiled and stood up, "But if the situation is clear, there will be no suspense Yes. But I heard that Haibal, the leader of the Loulan Kingdom, is quite strategic, so he dare not react?"
Mo Lun thought for a while, "Loulan Kingdom is located in the north-central part of the five Western Regions. It is separated from our territory by Gaochang Kingdom, and the distance is more than 200 kilometers. I am afraid he is worried that even if he joins us, he will not be able to help him much. Get busy."
"Well, this can only be the reason, but the Luobei people are making progress, and the five countries in the Western Regions will find it more difficult to survive." I nodded to express my agreement with Mo Lun, "I heard that Haibal has a daughter She is quite outstanding, not only is she beautiful, but she is also skilled in bowing and horses, so she is known as 'Mulan of the Western Regions', I wonder if it is true?" My eyes were eager to try again.
"That's right, it's absolutely true." Mo Lun's obese face showed a lustful expression, and he found out the materials in his hand, "Haibal's daughter is called Harikina, she is seventeen years old, and she is from the Western Regions. The number one beauty, not only has the appearance of sinking fish and wild goose, but also has high martial arts skills. It is said that there are few men in Loulan Kingdom who can match her. Last year, His Highness the Second Highness of Kuqa Kingdom in the Western Region ran into Harikina on the road. She was shocked and entangled endlessly , angered Harikina, and together with the guards of the Kucha Kingdom, they were all beaten up by Harikina. This incident shocked the entire Western Region and cast a shadow over the relationship between the two countries. Only when the lord of Canada comes forward to reconcile, can we barely recover."
"Looks like it's a rose with thorns. Morun, you've collected all the information in this area really well." I looked at Morun with a smile on my face.
"That's natural. There must be no omissions in intelligence work, it's related to the overall situation." Mo Lun replied with a shameless face.
"However, these materials seem to be wet and sticky, isn't it your saliva?" I glanced at the embarrassed Mo Lun with a half-smile.
"But your sleeves seem to be wet too, my lord." Mo Lun also retorted.
I avoided answering and returned to the main topic, "Since the Luobei people are determined to fight us, we have no choice but to stay with us to the end. Morun, you have given us all the personal information about Ule and his subordinates. Also analyze and sort out the intelligence of the current expedition to the west, and strengthen the collection of information on the composition of the Luobei army, combat effectiveness, military commanders of various parts, and marching routes, especially the composition of the troops. You must figure out the route and the marching route at all costs.” Whether Mo Lun or Ling Tianfang is in charge of the work of the intelligence department, I have never relaxed. Intelligence work on several important targets has also been done quite successfully.
"As for the two prefectures of Guide and Bonan, let's ignore them for the time being. The last time the Jinzhou sent troops caused an uproar in the center of the empire, if they crossed the border again this time, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble, and We are fighting on two fronts, and our strength is far from enough, so let's solve the serious problem of the Luobei people first." My tone was full of confidence that I would win.
As time passed, the Qingyang and Jinzhou armies also began to increase their alert levels and began to carry out targeted and specialized training. On August 25, 693, in accordance with my order, the Jinzhou First Guard Division left a regiment to garrison, and the remaining four regiments, under the leadership of Liang Chongxin, cooperated with the Jinzhou Second Guard Division and the Jinzhou Second Guard Division led by Mu Lige. The spearmen directly under the regiment set off for Qingyang together. At the same time, Ling Tianfang also asked Yamane to recruit 15,000 reserve personnel from the Combat Readiness Department to assist the garrison troops of the 5th Wing of the 1st garrison division.
I stood alone in the conference room, looking at the large map on the wall and thinking carefully. There was also a more detailed topographic map on the desk. I had been thinking about it for a long time based on these two maps. The enemy's strength has been basically determined. The 200,000 troops are more than double the troops I can control, and some of my troops have to be stationed in the border area with Guide and Bonan Prefectures to prevent the chaos. invasion.
Among the enemy's 200,000 troops, there are about 50,000 armored cavalry, 100,000 light infantry, 40,000 light cavalry, and 10,000 heavy infantry. War is full of confidence. The intelligence department led by Moran is quite efficient, and of course it has a lot to do with my large investment. For this reason, Moran extorted a lot of money and excellent personnel from me.
The enemy's newly formed Zhengdong is based on the original Zhengxi. Supplement, but there is still a certain difference in combat effectiveness between recruits and veterans who have only been trained for a few months, although young and middle-aged nomads are often training. Compared with our own side, compared with the previous year's Qingyang defense battle, the strength of the troops has increased several times, and we have also obtained a large number of excellent Gaoyue people as heavy infantry. Although we are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, But I still firmly believe that the invading enemy can be completely defeated. The problem is how to solve this battle perfectly and get more benefits from this battle.
I also analyzed in detail the personal situation of Wule, the current Luobei general who conquered the East, sent by the intelligence personnel. It was established in other nomadic wars on the Li grassland. I carefully understood his character and every war he participated in and found that he was brave in battle, especially good at leading armored cavalry, but he also had a weakness, that is, in all previous wars he The use of tricks is rare, and the enemy is usually defeated by a face-to-face frontal attack. Perhaps it is because the nomads themselves value winning with real strength. Moreover, the intelligence showed that he was not familiar with the situation in the east, and he dismissed the strength of his neighbor to the east, that is, the imperial army. He believed that the imperial army was weak in combat effectiveness and could not fight against Luobei's regular army. All kinds of sarcasm and irony, this time he personally set out to conquer the East, and he is even more determined to win.
According to this information, I already have a general outline of the basic direction of this campaign, but whether to really adopt my own ideas, I think I should make a decision after discussing with my subordinates, after all, this campaign is of great importance .
