The fall of Datong was like a cold current from the north, which not only made Xu Changqing change his mind, but also caused a panic in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the abilities of the people in the cabinet are not very good, they are at the highest point and their vision is still fine.

The key is the pattern of Datong falling. This kind of "internal cooperation" really makes many people feel frightened and frightened, and they are really afraid of when they will be played like this.

And with the capture of Datong, the Qing army quickly made a new choice.

They set up two camps outside Tongguan and in the southern area of ​​Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, and each of the Eight Banners moved in in turn, known as the "Hedong Daying" and the "Hebei Daying".

This, coupled with the efforts of Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and Tang Tong, the three tribes almost stuck Dashun Kingdom in the Guanzhong area.

"Lord, the situation is not good. If the Tartars do this, it will be difficult for Li Zicheng to hold on, and it will be difficult for him to plow this year... Once he can't hold on, he will definitely retreat to Huguang. At that time, not only will the court feel uncomfortable, but we will also be dragged into the mud..."

It has been mid-March, and the weather has begun to warm up. The spring plowing in Haicheng and surrounding areas has begun. However, Li Yangang received news from the northwest and did not have time to pay attention to the spring plowing matters, so he hurried to find Xu Changqing.

He knew the foundation of the refugee army too well. The Tartars were a "failure plan" and Dashun Kingdom could not withstand it.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly.

The Qing army's strategy was clear at this time, just like a dog, urging Li Zicheng, but not hurting him.

When did Li Zicheng be mature? Li Zicheng couldn't hold on anymore. When he was about to find out, he drove him into Huguang directly!

By then, I wanted to rely on Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Huang Degong to resist the vicious Dashun Army...

How could this be possible?!

Even if there is no real information, Xu Changqing can guess the whole thing. Ninety-nine is Hong Chengchou's plan!

It's just a vicious one!

"Military advisor, what are your thoughts?"

Xu Changqing thought for a while, but did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he threw a cigar to Li Yan and lit one himself, immersed himself in the smoke and kicked the ball back to Li Yan.

Li Yan was obviously prepared, so he lit the cigar and took a deep breath: "Lord, the Tartars are too vicious. I think Dashun Country can't hold on to this linked vicious trick, so we must prepare early. What the subordinates mean, we can... expand our army!"

"Engineering?"

Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Military advisor, tell me in detail."

Li Yan hurriedly said: "Master, you are a hero. You must understand that the current defense system of Haicheng, with a scale of 30,000 people, is still a bit reluctant. At least 20,000 reserve teams are required to support them at any time to ensure that there is room for timely handling when encountering a crisis. Only when Haicheng is stable can we have the strength to send troops to fight abroad! At that time, the Tatars will have room for choice. Even if the expansion of the army will bring us great economic pressure, it will be over with gritted teeth and hold on. My subordinates believe that expanding the army is imperative..."

Xu Changqing nodded slowly: "Military advisor, I understand, but I still have to think about it carefully. You can first order the Political Affairs Office to prepare."

As soon as he heard Xu Changqing's words, Li Yan understood that Xu Changqing had already planned, so he hurriedly emphasized the point and left the door respectfully.

When Li Yan left, Xu Changqing rubbed his temples tiredly, and his eyes gradually became cold and harsh.

With this situation at this time, expanding the army is indeed the best choice for the model army. Xu Changqing has also considered this matter for a long time!

As Li Yan said, if the army is not expanded, the model army will maintain the comprehensiveness of Haicheng and it will be difficult for it to have the energy to change the surrounding situation.

In this way, once the Qing army attacks, Xu Changqing, Haicheng, and the entire Ming Dynasty will fall into a passive position.

As long as the safety of Haicheng can be guaranteed, Xu Changqing and the Model Jun will have more choices.

As long as the Qing army dares to take action in the northwest, the model army will dare to go to Liao.

The front line of the old village in the south, and even directly besieged the capital!

Even if the expansion of the army costs a lot of money, destroying Haicheng's economic development and population structure, the accumulation over the years can still be passed.

However, how much does it expand and how to expand the army...

Xu Changqing closed his eyes, and this is a matter of method!

...

Xu Changqing did not ask Li Yan to wait too long. After an hour, he gave Li Yan the answer: expand the army, and the army must be expanded!

However, an enlarged meeting between military and political parties was held that night.

Including Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Zhu Mai, Gu Hengbo and others, they all attended.

These women have long been different from the past. Not only do they have money, but they also have a lot of labor under their command. Even if Xu Changqing is just talking about it, he must first seek their opinions to ensure that it will not greatly harm the development of Haicheng.

Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Xu Changqing's method, his "burden" was destined to continue...

In the evening, in the conference room of the official hall, important military and political officials, including Li Youwei and his daughters, gathered together.

Xu Changqing sat on his tiger-skin throne and solemnly glanced at everyone: "Everyone should know everything. Although everything is good at Haicheng at this time, the world's trend has already changed greatly. It is imperative for my model army to expand our army! You can talk about it if you have any ideas. Let's discuss it together."

There was a lot of discussion in the field.

Li Youwei and the other women also looked extremely solemn.

Business is important, but it is more important without their foundation. Only when Xu Changqing is stronger can they be better.

Soon, Li Youwei took the lead in listing: "Xu Lang, I just discussed with a few sisters. If the army is expanded, we can have 5,000 young and strong men left in the many businesses in Haicheng. In addition, our families will have 400,000 taels of silver every year to support military construction!"

"The eldest lady is wise, all wives are wise..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the military was immediately infuriated and rushed to make a clever statement.

What does it mean that men are as good as men?

What's this for him!

The bosses and major players of the Political Affairs Department were full of embarrassment.

This person is really incomparable to people...

Who would have thought that they could not even compare to a few women...

However, they quickly corrected their attitude and expressed their opinions.

After all, everyone has long been a community of interests. Only when Xu Changqing is good and the model army is good can everyone be really good.

Otherwise, if there is a problem in Haicheng, how can you be better?

After discussion until the end of the afternoon, everyone finally reached an agreement. Basically, they had money to pay, some people to contribute, and they could work hard, and the model army would expand for 40,000!

Until we left the conference room, everyone was still very excited. Even though they were bleeding a little, it undoubtedly made the Model Army stronger.

By the window of the study outside, watching them leave excitedly, Li Youwei and his girls had gathered next to Xu Changqing. Wu Sanmei said arrogantly: "Brother, how are you? The sisters are doing well, right?"

Xu Changqing laughed and rubbed her head indulgently: "It's very good, very good. Tonight, brother, I'm going to do my best. Lu Bu fights all the heroes, you can take the turn!"

"Pooh."

"The dog can't spit out ivory."

"No..."

The girls were immediately coquettish, but they were all hugged by Xu Changqing and could not even escape...

...

As the senior management of Haicheng reached an agreement, the implementation became much easier.

Xu Changqing had always retained the auxiliary army system since the beginning of the model army. To put it bluntly, it was the active reserve.

Even the civilians of the Model Army have a lot of training on weekdays.

Xu Changqing has been planning for expanding the army for a long time.

However, the auxiliary soldiers are limited after all, with less than 20,000 people, and there is still a big gap in the 20,000 civilians.

Fortunately, there is enough manpower, it just takes some time to train.

Xu Changqing immediately added a new task to the 500 students of Haicheng Military Academy, and they will also join the training sequence.

Soon, Haicheng was in full swing everywhere, and even the young men from many wealthy families went to take the test and joined the model army.

After all, it is no longer a secret that the Model Army is treated at a high level, and the children of the Model Army are undoubtedly the biggest enjoyers of Haicheng’s dividends.

In the past few months, at least 30,000 model soldiers have been rewarded by their concubines, which makes people envious of the speech.

"Come on, don't squeeze, line up, follow the sequence! If anyone dares to jump into the line, do not blame me for not having eyes on the whip in my hand!"

At the gate of the fourth camp in Haicheng, a long queue was lined up early in the morning, and the people were clamoring.

Some of the mothers who sent her sons, some of the daughters-in-laws who sent her husbands, and some of the brothers who came together, were even more lively than going to the market.

The officer led here is Xu Changqing's "Chief" disciple, Zhou Guofeng, who will be the core member of the "Delta Eagle" in the future.

Although Zhou Guofeng was delayed by the recruitment, he felt a little unhappy when he thought about recruiting newcomers and training them well. He felt a little unspeakable.

These boys have learned a lot of tricks in the military academy and are waiting for them to come.

Zhou Guofeng is not too tall or strong enough, but the momentum that crawled out of the dead is by far the battlefield is by no means overwhelming.

Soon, the surroundings began to quiet down.

Zhou Guofeng was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, and raised the whip in his hand and shouted to everyone: "Everyone has a certain understanding of the recruitment standards of my model army. However, it is a bit unlucky for you to come to me today! I not only have to pick good soldiers, but also elite soldiers, and there are only 300 people today! Of course, as long as I choose, I will make contributions and promotions in the future, it will naturally be much simpler than others."

With the help of some psychology courses, Zhou Guofeng has already figured out the routine.

really.

As soon as he said this, there was a sudden noise around him.

Many ordinary people were a little stunned. Today, they were so lucky. Are they going to join the legendary special forces?
