Chapter 606 Zhao Ziqiang's Ascension

A large camp was built to the east of the Nanmen Wharf in Liuzhou, and more than 10,000 soldiers were placed here in two towns that were preparing to go to Annan. On the Liuzhou Dadong School field not far away, the two towns recruited wolves were trained in queues under the command of officers. Most of the wolves were strong people, with only a few Han and natives. Except for the mature strong local officials, they were almost illiterate. Therefore, in order to teach these wolves to basically form in the formation of infantry, the officers took great pains to teach these wolves to basically train in the formation, and in the end they still had the effect of educating sticks.

The dock is extremely busy. Dozens of large ships parked on the dock are constantly transporting grain on the shore. Some of this batch of military rations were transferred from Nanning, Xunzhou and other places, and the rest are transported from the Zhaoqing waters. Due to the shortage of manpower and Guangxi's military disasters, the young and strong labor was extremely scarce. Therefore, the Guangxi Governor's Office sympathized with the people's strength and did not recruit servants. It only allowed the Qing army to surrender and auxiliary soldiers to engage in material transportation, while the people were busy with spring plowing. This made the Taiping Army a very good reputation among the tens of thousands of people in Guangxi, which was very popular with the people.

More than a thousand Qing army green camp soldiers who surrendered in Nanning and Wuzhou struggled to transport food on the wharf, each of them sweating profusely. The river breeze blew, but it was a little cold. Although the work was hard, the surrendered soldiers did not complain much. At least, the Taiping Army did not kill them, and they could eat enough. After finishing the work, they could turn into regular soldiers. With such treatment, they could wake up laughing in their dreams, so what else to complain about?

A row of houses was built beside the dock, but only made of wood and covered with grass. The repair was quite simple. On weekdays, it was mainly used to let the surrendered soldiers rest and eat. If it was rainy, it was used to store supplies that were not too late to transport to the city, such as grain and gunpowder.

The house on this row of houses is built on the riverside, which is larger than other houses. The house is not empty, but also has tables, chairs, and benches. There are many tea bowls on the Eight Immortals table, and several Taiping officers in red uniforms are sitting around, drinking cold tea while talking about the battle and the battle of Annan a few days ago.

At the door, Zhao Ziqiang, who was promoted from the fifth town to the governor of the expeditionary army, smoked the hookah with his eyes closed and enjoyed the clouds and mountains that the smoke brought him. He only heard what his subordinates said, but did not speak out any opinions. Especially when his subordinates talked about Annan's affairs, he ignored it, or in other words, he was confident because he had this booklet in his arms, which had more than 60 pages, which was specially sorted out by the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal told him clearly that after you arrive in Annan, as long as you follow the lines in this booklet, you, King Annan, will definitely be able to make a decision, and you even want to be the Supreme Emperor of Annan.

King Annan? The Supreme Emperor?

Zhao Ziqiang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he knocked the hookah comfortably, then held it in his mouth and leisurely looked at the beautiful prospects that the coach gave him. From time to time, he thought, but Annan's woman didn't know how she looked.

In the eyes of his subordinates, Zhao Governor Zhao's performance was indeed not shocked by honor and disgrace. In fact, Zhao Ziqiang was indeed not surprised, neither happy nor angry. After receiving the transfer order, he began to prepare for the southward journey. However, he had never revealed his attitude towards the transfer order itself.

Lu Guangzu once asked Zhao Ziqiang privately what the general said in the letter that Dong Changqing asked him to tell him, whether it was the impeachment of Shao Jiugong that made the general very dissatisfied. Then Ming promoted and actually surrendered, and used the name of defying Annan to point out Zhao Ziqiang. However, Zhao Ziqiang smiled and distracted the matter and did not mention it at all. Lu Guangzu was bored, and he was also promoted, so he didn't ask again. Annan was right next to Guangxi, and it was not thousands of miles away. He could never return to the Ming Dynasty in his life. If you want Annan, just confront Annan.

After receiving the transfer order, Zhao Ziqiang handed over to Yu Shizhong, and led the town guards he could take away and some generals who were allowed to be transferred directly into Liuzhou City and waited for the Marquis of the Marquis to pick them up and set off.

The Annan people betrayed their alliance and abandoned their letters. They rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and detained the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The Taiping Army established the Annan Army today, also known as the Taiping Expeditionary Force. Because the expeditionary force was a national war, the chief general of the Expeditionary Force was promoted to the governor, which was equivalent to the position of left governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. They actually commanded the entire expedition and were fully responsible for the expedition.

After being nominated by Zhou Shixian, Zhao Ziqiang, the fifth town general, was promoted to the position of governor of the Expeditionary Army for his military achievements in Guangxi, and the deputy governor was appointed by Lu Guangzu, the deputy general of the fifth town.

The Expeditionary Army was composed of two towns of the Army and one battalion of the Navy. The two towns of the Army were respectively the rebuilt 11th town and the newly built 12th town. The 11th town consisted of more than 800 remaining soldiers in this town, and the original Qing army surrendered in Wuzhou, Xunzhou and Nanning were also transferred. The three battalions of the town were in the town, with a total of 7,575 soldiers. The 12th town was also composed of the third battalion soldier system, consisting of the captured by the fifth town and surrendered Qing army.

The 11th town will be appointed by the former deputy general of the fifth town and Lu Guangzu, who also served as deputy governor of the Expeditionary Force, and the deputy general will be appointed by Hu Mingyi, the former B-Bedal B-Bedal B-Bedal B-Bedal B-Bedal B-Bedal B-Bedal B-Bedal B-Bedal B-Bedal Zhang Yue, the two towns will be appointed by the 100 and 100 households who performed well in the Guangxi war. The specific candidate will be held by the Guangxi Governor's Office for the military commander's office and the Guangxi war will be promoted.

The fifth town that was vacant after Zhao Ziqiang was promoted will be appointed by Yu Shizhong, the former Bing Brigade School. At the same time, the two newly formed Wolf soldiers towns were designated as the Thirteenth Town and the Fourteenth Town. The Thirteenth Town towns were appointed by the Emperor Pingnan Fan Han Army Commander Shang Keyuan, while the Fourteenth Town general was appointed by the former Jingnan Fan Han Army Commander Geng Zhongde. This move shows that the surrendered generals of the Jingnan Fan Han Army Commander of the Jingnan Fan Han Army began to be respected by Zhou Shi, which also means that the surrendered generals of the Pingnan Fan Han Army Commander of the Jingnan Fan Han Army Commander of the Jingnan Fan Han Army Commander was truly integrated into the Taiping Army system.

Geng Zhongde did not follow the army to fight west, but stayed in Guangzhou to give lectures on military preparations, so he presided over the affairs of the institute in the name of the Deputy Admiral. He did not expect that he would be suddenly appointed as the general of the 14th town by Zhou Shixiang, because he came to Guangxi to bring the newly graduated 120 officers and cadets to Guangxi to enrich the newly built Wolf Soldiers towns, and on the other hand, he came to report the demise.

King Geng Jimao of Jingnan died and fell ill.
