Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 5: Days Count
While Xiao Tang and Mi Feng were allowed to make large-scale adjustments to the Northwest officialdom, Wufeng focused on reorganizing the army.
The First Guards Division led by Song Tianxiong suffered the heaviest blow since its establishment, its combat effectiveness was greatly weakened, and it almost lost its organizational system. At the Northwest Military Affairs Joint Staff Meeting hosted by Ling Tianfang, Mi Feng proposed to send Song Tianxiong to the Military Law Office for investigation and disposal. According to the system of the Northwest Military Affairs Joint Staff Conference, although the Military Judiciary Division independently exercises the power of military legal disposition, officers above the head of the investigation and disposal division must obtain the approval of more than half of the members of the Military Affairs Joint Staff Conference or directly obtain the authorization of the military and political envoy to agree to these two provisions. one of the conditions. Li Wufeng shelved the request of the chief of military law to directly authorize the investigation, but asked him to propose a proposal at the joint staff meeting for a vote.
The members of the Northwest Joint Staff Conference are composed of the chief staff officer (that is, the chief of staff), the chief of military law, the heads of the four major armies, and the commander-in-chief of the Western Region United Army. Voting is conducted in secret and anonymously. In the vote on whether to dismiss Song Tianxiong as the head of the 1st Guards Division and conduct a military law investigation, the vote unexpectedly ended in an embarrassing two-to-two vote, and the remaining three votes all abstained. According to the provisions of the joint staff meeting system, if there is an equal number of votes on a certain matter, the voted matter will be automatically submitted to the military and political governor for adjudication. In this way, the ball returns to the hands of the no striker.
Wufeng has been in a conflicted mood on this matter. If it comes to personal feelings, Song Tianxiong has been by his side since he served as the captain of the Guards, and he even rescued him during the assassination in the imperial capital. Besides, Wufeng believed that Song Tianxiong was not at fault for the disaster that the 1st Guards Division encountered in the third Northwest War, but that he had underestimated Besan's ability to make decisions on the spot. Can accurately judge the mobilization time of the opponent's organization. However, in the analysis of the battle situation after several wars, the staff of the staff headquarters did not agree with Wufeng's view. In their view, the northwest side certainly misjudged the opponent's mobilization speed and time, but Song Tianxiong, a vanguard officer, If they can keep a reasonable distance from the main force of the central army according to the established tactics instead of rushing forward, then the raid of the Luobei people will not be able to cause such a large loss to the main force of the Northwest Army on the eastern front. The Fifth Division would not pay such a heavy price for the rescue of the First Guards Division.
Wufeng also knows that the handling of Song Tianxiong is very important. Many people in the army regard Song Tianxiong as a celebrity in their hearts. In addition to the environment, it cannot but be said that Wufeng has a partiality in his heart. The reason why Wufeng put aside when Mifeng proposed that the Military Law Office intervene in the investigation is that he hoped that Mifeng's motion would not be passed in the joint staff meeting. People's will is a shift, and ultimately they have to make decisions by themselves.
This is a difficult choice, but Wufeng knows that he may have to make it, even against his will. It is precisely because Song Tianxiong was born as a guard around him that he had to shed tears and bear the pain. However, it is also an advantage for the Military Law Department to intervene. Mi Feng's sternness is well known, as long as they can make a reasonable judgment to prove that Song Tianxiong is in this matter There is no big fault, I believe Song Tianxiong will be able to stand up again.
Wufeng finally agreed to Mi Feng's motion and dismissed Song Tianxiong as the head of the 1st Guards Division and was investigated by the Military Law Office. The head of the acting division is responsible for the reconstruction work in name.
At the same time, the three divisions of the Northwest First Army Corps that suffered heavy losses were also replenished and reorganized immediately. Students who graduated from the Northwest Military Academy were given priority to supplement these three divisions. The combat effectiveness of the division has also been quickly restored. Mott Self-Defense Forces and Tubu Self-Defense Forces, each with three 10,000-strong light cavalry troops, were immediately transferred by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct adaptive marching exercises from Bonan to Tianshui after completing the initial training. Horned beast troops also quietly arrived in Golden State for terrain adaptation training.
The engineering division has finally completed its formation, but the equipment is still far from the standard that Wufeng hoped for. However, this cannot be done in a day or two. , This is also the first time in the Northwest to form a division-level engineering unit.
Although the First Guards Division suffered a heavy blow, it was still able to persevere tenaciously despite being besieged by the enemy several times. This also fully demonstrated the ability of the officer group headed by Song Tianxiong. After learning about the huge role that sniper killing played in this bitter battle, Wufeng immediately ordered the addition of a sniper killing squadron in each division-level army, and selected those with superb archery skills from the troops for special training. The middle school is responsible for sniping and killing the opponent's officers at all levels; at the same time, it also selects those with outstanding martial arts skills from among the troops to enter the special training camp of the military academy to practice and improve their martial arts skills. At the same time, Wufeng also asked the internal affairs department and intelligence department to recruit martial arts masters who are willing to serve themselves in various parts of the empire to serve as military academy instructors or to be directly awarded military posts to join the special operations department. Those who join the sniper team can break the rules Those who are directly promoted enjoy the treatment of officers. Those who perform outstandingly in the war can be sent to the Northwest Military Academy for advanced studies. After graduation, they can enjoy the same promotion and other treatment as other officers who have accumulated military exploits.
The combat readiness department has also strengthened its combat readiness. In addition to the storage and production of necessary combat readiness materials, the training of reserve personnel has also been greatly strengthened. It is also increasing day by day. Rao has become a busy man second only to Xiao Tang. Although the number of operatives in the combat readiness department has also increased a lot, as the Northwest Territory grows larger, the size of the army expands, and the matters involved are becoming more and more complicated. He also had to do it personally, and Wufeng had repeatedly reminded Rao in good faith that he didn't have to do everything himself, and that he had to delegate power when he delegated power.
In short, the Northwest after the Third Northwest War seemed to be very peaceful on the surface, and the gentry, businessmen and ordinary people were intoxicated in this short-lived peace. With the continuous chaos within the empire, a large amount of funds continued to pour into the northwest from the south of the Yangtze River, the East China Sea, the five lakes, and the imperial capital, especially the commercial funds from the imperial capital showed explosive growth. The Tengger Grassland and Northern Luzon became The best place to go for those funds. Whether it is the emerging wool textile industry and the traditional ethnic handmade carpet weaving industry on the Tengger Grassland, or the three traditional pillar industries in Northern Luzon-tobacco planting and processing, coffee planting and processing, sugarcane planting and sugar refining, they all show that they are in the ascendant. momentum. Especially in Northern Luzon, the long-term peaceful environment has made almost everyone forget about the war. Lu Man and Mu Haoran even boasted that as long as they are given another five years, they can make the two governments catch up with the Central Plains For any prefecture, give them ten years, and they can catch up with the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River!
The new four prefectures outside the six prefectures of Northwest County have finally calmed down and gradually started to get on the right track. The economy has begun to recover in an all-round way. A good foundation is their biggest advantage. The lacquer industry and cotton textile industry, Xikang's animal husbandry, Tianshui's cotton planting and cotton textile industry have all rejuvenated. Although they cannot compare with the old Northwest and Northern Luzon, they are comparable to the turbulent north of the empire and the turmoil of the people. Compared with the Five Lakes area in China, it is already a paradise.
The surrender of the Luobei and Tubu people, and the embarrassment of the Xisluo people~IndoMTL.com~ All these make the common people revel in the prosperity of the Northwest. It's just that everything related to the military is running quietly behind this, and the huge military organization is running day and night, making final preparations for the coming storm.
"What's going on?" Just after receiving the special envoy from the Boyin people, Wu Feng was still pondering over the request made by the Boyin people's special envoy, but was blocked in the living room by Linghu Yi and Ling Tianfang who asked for an urgent meeting Inside, seeing that the faces of the two people are not special, but the matter is so urgent, Wufeng really can't think of what will happen, could it be that something happened to the emperor of the imperial capital? Thinking of Wufeng's mood here is a bit mixed.
"My lord, the Chidi people broke through the defense line of the Luobei people. Chaqin, with the cooperation of the Anou people, smashed the Luobei guards on the northern line. It is said that more than 200,000 Luobei guards were annihilated. Luobei's heartland is advancing, the southern Luobei Tudah has withdrawn to Luobei's territory, Wadya has announced that Luobei's entire clan is mobilized, and is ready to fight to the death with the Chidi people." Linghu Yi said succinctly.
Suddenly there was no sound in the room, what a disaster! Wufeng never thought that such an incident would happen again at this time. The defeat of the Luobei people seems to have nothing to do with the Northwest, but the Northwest side signed a treaty with the Luobei people and made many concessions in order to To prevent the Luobei people from being overly weakened and cause the Reddi people to expand too much, which will affect their future plans. I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven. I support the Luobei people, send all the captives back, and even provide financial support. But these useless Luobei people were still defeated under such circumstances, and they were defeated miserably. Even their core strength guard army was wiped out by 200,000. This is undoubtedly a collapse for the Luobei people omen.
