In late July, the first mixed brigade of the Black Mountain Corps suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Anshan Provincial City. Like a magic weapon descending from the sky, it defeated the rebel army organized by An Laoheng's eldest son An Mingyuan in one fell swoop and liberated Anshan Provincial City.
siege.
The 100,000 rebel troops organized by the five major brigade commanders in northwest Anshan collapsed and the rebel alliance existed in name only.
Almost at the same time, on Anshan Yanzhou Road, the Heishan Mountain Brigade surrounded and annihilated more than 20,000 people from Anzheng Long's tribe. They won a great victory at Qinghuayu Island and captured more than 10,000 soldiers.
Two battles shocked the Northern Territory.
When Lu Ming saw the military report, he couldn't hide his excitement. He personally sent congratulatory messages to the First Brigade and the Mountain Brigade, calling the two brigades the Tiger's Minions.
He also approved the expansion of the first mixed brigade and personally inscribed the name of the first mixed brigade to be upgraded to the "First Guards Division", and the Wanzhou Mountain Brigade was upgraded to the "Heishanbao Mountain Brigade".
…
In terms of the entire Anshan landform, Amju Road belongs to a basin area and is a rare area with large grasslands, wetlands and other green areas.
Because the water resources are abundant compared to the adjacent roads, it is not as serious as other roads. Amju Road is also one of the granaries in the southeast of Ansan. Brigade Commander An Zhenglong can occupy this place. He is naturally powerful and is also considered to be Ansan.
One of the most capable generals among the mountain brigade commanders.
But these things have become a thing of the past. During the Battle of Qinghuayu, An Zhenglong committed suicide by drinking a bullet, but he did not die. The chief of staff snatched his pistol, and the bullet missed his vital point. He was rescued by the field hospital of the Montenegrin Corps and stayed there.
He lost his life and is still recovering from his injuries.
After seeing the emissary personally sent by Prince Heishanbao, An Zhenglong burst into tears of gratitude and was willing to lead his troops to surrender and called on the old troops to accept reforms.
He said to himself that his former self was dead, but his life was saved by the Montenegrin Army. From then on, he was loyal to the Montenegrin Army and to His Highness the Prince.
An Zhenglong Division is also undergoing reorganization and is now the 104th Brigade in the Black Mountain Corps.
The mountain brigade was established in Yanju City, where the Yanju Highway Department is based, to assist in military control in various urban areas. At the same time, a large number of cadres were transferred from Heishan and enriched the administrative agencies of the four cities in Yanju.
However, in the countryside, there is naturally some chaos now. An Zhenglong has a strong hand. There was no room for the Grand Guild to survive here before.
This is the case in Heihuo County. In this small town of more than 10,000 people, the Black Mountain people sent a county magistrate (county office commissioner) and only two guards. Although they quickly took over the power, at most they were just ruling.
At the county office in the county town, in the county town and in rural areas, life is still the same as before. Moreover, because of the war, there are more thieves cutting off roads, robbers in the dark, etc.
Heihuo County originally belonged to Matouying City, Yanzhou Road, but the Heishan people implemented the New Deal, and the cities and counties were all parallel administrative units. They no longer had any subordinate relationship with each other, and were all under the unified management of the Road Department.
Heihuo County is one of the poorest counties on Yanzhou Road. There is no asphalt road in the county. The main road leading to the county is just a loess road, which becomes muddy during the rainy season.
Recently, a long convoy drove up this loess road, mostly green trucks, buses, armored vehicles, etc.
He did not go to the county seat, but entered a village called Laoliuzhuang.
The villagers were initially frightened and uneasy, but gradually they welcomed these uninvited guests, because they rented their houses and gave them a lot of money, bought their food, hired their people as guides, etc., and everyone in the village benefited.
, people with quick thinking can make a small fortune in a short time by selling local specialties to them. Many people can make a few yuan within a few days.
In the RV in the woods at the end of Laoliuzhuang Village, Lu Ming was reading the telegram that had just arrived from Anshan Provincial City.
A secret message from Shi Dayong, commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade, who is also the current commander of the 1st Guards Division.
The cable stated that the staff member named "Mr. Qin" next to Miao Baifeng had disappeared.
People around Miao Baifeng said that Mr. Qin was a pretty boy, and there were many rumors that Miao Baifeng was so partial to him, but in fact, he was being talked about by the pretty boy all day long.
Lu Ming was most concerned about this matter. Looking at the telegram, he couldn't help but shake his head.
At the end of the telegram, Shi Dayong once again proposed that after repairs, the Guards Division should march to the northwest and completely wipe out the Anyuanming coalition forces.
His message was full of pride, and it seemed like he was scolding Fang Qiu.
Lu Ming looked at it and smiled.
Shi Dayong is Shitou, and together with Datou, they are both veteran-level figures.
Originally he was in his thirties and still had no fixed place, living a dangerous life as a mercenary. After following him, his life gradually became stable and prosperous, and he even married a beautiful college student as his wife.
As a gift to the two of them, I gave them a full one million.
Da Tou, Lao Yao and Shi Dayong, the three elders, actually used various festive methods to celebrate and each of them gave away almost one million yuan.
At that time, I just wanted to make them worry-free, wealth would not be a problem at all, and they could concentrate on their careers, let alone making money.
I also know that people's hearts are not as strong as snakes swallowing elephants. After completing small goals, they may yearn for bigger goals.
But at the very least, create the conditions for them to live an extremely luxurious life without having to worry about money.
But looking at Shi Dayong, I can feel his pride from the telegram.
If his wife Liu Xinqin were around, she would definitely not let him send such a message.
In the past, he followed his own strategic plans and would not do anything he decided on, but would put forward his opinions again and again.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. Frontline commanders naturally have to have their own ideas.
However, this is also a signal worth thinking about. After all, if it is at the battle level, he can let go. However, at the strategic level, he hopes to change his original intention again and again.
What he was thinking about was just to make great achievements, thinking that he could sweep everything, but not really considering it from the perspective of the entire empire.
With a slight sigh, Lu Ming picked up the tea and took a sip. This kind of thing is really tiring, much more tiring than fighting a lawsuit.
It seems that under authoritarianism, the relationship between the founding fathers and leaders has always been a big problem.
Where have I just been? There are already faint signs of something going wrong.
This Shi Dayong is also a bit simple-minded. Like Da Tou, Lao Yao, including the newcomers Zhao Jingxun, Mao Dingyuan, etc., he does not have this problem.
Most of them are diligent in thinking about the things they have done. If we sum it up, what is a god who is not blessed with luck?
Sometimes when I look back and think about it, I feel incredible.
But he knew that without Bizhu, Liuli and the loyal supporters of the old dynasty they had trained, how would he be where he is now even if he had knowledge from his past life?
Even in business, I control various transactions myself and rely on Bizhu's people to conduct investigations full of intrigues.
Not to mention the political and military aspects, including the relocation of the Sanmai Company to states under its control. Some of the keys to breaking the situation, whether by setting traps or solving problems by oneself, all depended on the strange people and strangers inherited from the Baozhu Palace and the Liuli Palace.
You can have great ideas, but where does the execution power come from?
Do you really think that all kinds of development plans will go smoothly just because you have your own ideas?
Not to mention, if he hadn't been protected by them, he would have been shot like a wild dog in a smelly ditch three years ago.
Therefore, in the past four or five years, I have come to this point. Outsiders don’t know what I have. But Datou, Lao Catfish, and Zhao Jingxun know it well, so how can they not be frightened? It’s just this stone egg, the brain.
It's too simple. If this continues, this guy will definitely float.
He muttered the old nickname "Stone Egg" in his mouth. Thinking of all the past events, Lu Ming felt warm in his heart. When he had time, he could have a drink with him and have a good chat.
After all, the most difficult thing about the relationship between superiors and subordinates is that one's superiority can overwhelm the master, but this definitely does not exist here, so there is no fundamental problem.
I didn’t sleep well yesterday and my mind is groggy. I won’t update tonight. I’ll go to bed early. The next update will be around 18:00 tomorrow afternoon. It’s still the first month of the year. Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
