Chapter 288 Cope with chaos and look up

Chapter 288: Respond to chaos and look up

Although Henan is an inland province, its troops belong to the second-line troops in the border areas of Shanxi. Moreover, Henan is the heart of the Central Plains and its geographical location is particularly important. Neither the garrison nor the warriors can be easily mobilized. Of course, if this is the case, it is suspected that the intention of mobilizing troops is indeed a sign of the meaning of being a soldier.

Although a force was stationed in the local area, although it had money and grain allocated by the imperial court, it also had the obligation to supply the local area. Now, except for several southern provinces and areas with salt income, the rest rely on the grain on the ground to survive. It is already very difficult to support the officers and soldiers.

Therefore, except for the guards who farmed by themselves, the other soldiers began to change defenses for a period of time to avoid damage to the vitality in the local area.

However, it is not surprising that the garrisons in Henan Province were mobilized, but the soldiers and horses in the north and south Zhili began to be mobilized, which is a big problem.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the focus of military defense was the Nine Territory. In other words, it was to hoard heavy troops in the current Three Norths. As for internal areas like Shandong, the military power was not strong, and there were often vassal kings in these places. If there were large troops, there would inevitably be collusion.

In Shandong now, the highest level of military officers is a guerrilla. They set up senior officials such as gang members and generals. When the Japanese pirates were powerful, but now Jiangfeng is guarding, the whole country is really peaceful and stable. According to common practice, it should be to draw troops to other provinces.

Jiang Feng looked at the simple icons on the map, combined with the detailed instructions on the mobilization in his hand, and thousands of troops transformed into the surroundings of Dengzhou and tightly surrounded Shandong. He couldn't help feeling stuffy and slapped the documents on his hand heavily on the table.

"Damn, I haven't wanted to rebel yet, they actually came to the door."

Liu Shier didn't take this robber logic in his mind that I wasn't ready to rebel, but he just said:

"Now 30,000 troops have been mobilized around Shandong, and Dongchang and Qingzhou have also changed their garrisons. Although they dare not make accurate judgments, the troops in Shandong that are worthy of serious treatment are just our Dengzhou branch."

Jiang Feng probably understood in his heart that if the court used these 30,000 soldiers and horses, he would not have to worry too much. The Dengzhou camp and the soldiers and horses were about 10,000 everywhere, and there were also several extra-staff troupes, which were also consuming the supply of four camps.

This is also a strange phenomenon in Shandong. Even the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty had more or less empty space. Otherwise, the leaders of the troops would not have the money to make money. Only a few camps led by Shandong Jiangfeng would all be sufficient and organized in local groups. It would be considered excessive. These soldiers and horses were all worth a lot of money.

The external statement is quite high-sounding. There are many bandits in Shandong, and only local governments can protect themselves can be safer. In fact, these regiment trainings are all under the control of officers under Jiang Feng, and they cannot be inserted in the local government at all. In addition, several workshops in Dengzhou, Laiwu and Yanzhou have stockpiled a large number of weapons. Unfortunately, these regiment trainings were quickly turned into regular soldiers.

The regular army and the regiment training had more than 16,000 people, and they were fully trained and well-equipped. They were not afraid of the 30,000 soldiers and soldiers from other three prefectures in Shandong. However, the Ming Dynasty was not just these soldiers. If they really fought and defeated the 30,000 troops, the subsequent army would continue to be continuous, and they could not afford to rely on Dengzhou.

When he patted his forehead with his hand, Jiang Feng suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked Liu Shier:

"How many men on Weishan Island are there in the army now?"

Liu Shier quickly calculated and answered:

"There are about 650 people in total, and some of them came later."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng had another strange question next, and he asked Liu Shier:

"How many of these people do you really have?"

After asking this question, Liu Shier was shocked, but he thought that Jiang Feng was wary of some people from Weishan Island. After thinking about it for a while, he reacted and said carefully:

"There are four hundred people who are from my Liu family, and they are considered to be in control, but now they are all in Luo Yi's Shijiu Camp and there is no contact on weekdays."

Jiang Feng didn't think so much at all, and said:

"Now you go down and arrange it. I want these people to go to your brother's village in the Yimeng Mountains. I will arrange money, grain and weapons immediately."

Liu Shier felt relieved and immediately understood Jiang Feng's intention. The village controlled by "Wen Dao" now has six or seven hundred people. He has come to many bandits in Yimeng. Wen Dao's methods are cruel, and his kindness and power have already controlled many forces around him. It is said that he can mobilize two or three thousand people.

But now the years are gradually recovering, and when people's hearts pursue stability is not a good time to rebel, or in modern terms, this is called having no mass base. Liu Shier also said this and Jiang Feng sneered and said disdainfully:

"Thousands of bandits went down the mountain to cause a disaster. Didn't Chen Shizi rebelled last time? We spent money to make them mess up!"

Neither side considered how great the disaster would be caused by thousands of bandits fleeing. The common people had no right to speak, so Jiang Feng immediately arranged for Zhao Xiucai to allocate silver. Liu Shier also called his family to come to Shijiu to find the chief in charge. Liu Shier also understood in his heart that as Jiang Feng's power expanded, most of the original veterans would become middle-level and lower-level officers.

Although there are only five or six hundred people in Weishan Island now, if they take root in the camp, they will not be underestimated in the future. However, when Jiang Feng's order was over, Liu Shier had no room for refutation. Since he had put his life on Jiang Feng, he could only leave as he arranged.

Besides, the current arrangements are probably the only way. The mobilization of soldiers and horses around must be targeted at Dengzhou. If the first move is lost, the number of people from Jiangfeng's sect will probably be killed without a place to die.

Jiang Feng was the only one left in the hall. He held his chin with his hands and was calculating nervously. If Wen Dao was in Yimeng, what would he do to react here? As he thought about it, he couldn't help but stand up and gesture on the map in front of him. According to the evaluation of modern people, this map is actually quite crude.

The approximate shape of Shandong is also clearly depicted. For some reason, Jiang Feng noticed the upper part of Dengzhou location and said to himself:

"It should be North Korea there?"
