The two princes went to see the emperor together. The emperor was also at a loss, but after hearing Prince Kang's plan, he immediately approved it and asked all departments of the court to help. It was necessary to make this matter known to the world.
Many reporters in the capital felt as if they had been severely whipped, especially many official media. Originally, these official media were just dawdling and did not want to live off the sales of newspapers. Anyway, the court gave them funds.
But this time seems to be different from the previous time. From their superiors to the young reporters below, everyone has gone to various places in the capital and taken a lot of photos.
All thirteen warehouses in the capital were opened, and a large amount of materials were transported to the train station, and all were transported to Haicheng by freight train.
The newspaper advertised this action in large characters, saying that the imperial court supported the suppressing army in taking back the Xiongnu grassland.
Li Hongtang, who was far away in Haicheng, also received the news. Li Hongtang frowned at the court's action.
"Has Mr. Hou received a call back?"
This is the third time Li Hongtang has asked.
The telegraph operator shook his head, indicating that there was no reply from Gao Shaoyi yet.
At this moment, Gao Shaoyi was driving to Xuanning in a carriage. The situation in Xuanning City had also improved a lot. In addition to the security regiment, two infantry regiments also arrived at Xuanning City as quickly as possible.
After having these two infantry regiments, Gao Shaoyi felt relieved. Even if hundreds of thousands of Huns troops came back again, there would be nothing to be afraid of. What the security regiments could do, couldn't the regular army do it?
"Master Marquis, this is the second time Li Zhongtang has sent a telegram asking, do we need to publish some articles in the media we control?"
Wang Laosi took out the telegram in his hand again. This was already the second telegram in half an hour. If you want to fight back in the media, you must hurry up. Half an hour has passed.
The opportunity was lost.
"What article to publish? What's the use of publishing it? This strategy was used by an expert. No matter what we say, I'm afraid we have already fallen behind. Let Li Zhongtang write a letter of thanks in person and express his gratitude to the court.
Be loyal and sign my name."
Gao Shaoyi said mockingly, although he is unwilling to do this, but judging from the current situation, if Gao Shaoyi does not do this, he will be caught by others immediately, and it will not be easy to handle by then. It is better to take the initiative.
.
"I'll do it right away."
Wang Laosi is a smart person, otherwise he would not have trained the security team so well. Under such circumstances today, there are indeed not many opportunities left for the Marquis to defend himself, and even if he did, I am afraid that
It will also arouse the resentment of the people across the country, so it is better to just follow the trend and do what the court wants.
"Come back, I have a list here. I will ask Li Zhongtang to transfer to the Military Aircraft Department immediately. He said that the war on the front line is tense and our number of officers is seriously insufficient. I hope to draw a group of outstanding nobles from the capital and let them go to the front line for training.
one time."
Gao Shaoyi took out a list from the small box next to the carriage. The names on it were all carefully selected by Gao Shaoyi. They were all noble descendants of the Daqian Dynasty. These people were all capable people and brought them here.
On the northern battlefield, it is also extremely beneficial to the entire army.
"Master Marquis, the level of these people is a little higher. If we drag them to the battlefield, they will have to be at least a brigade commander."
Seeing the names above, Wang Laosi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The first one on the list was Gao Shaoyi's cousin Wen Zheng.
This person is already the commander of the Imperial Guard, let alone a brigade commander, even a division commander is not an exaggeration.
"Let Li Zhongtang make it clear that all those who come to the front line will not be given corresponding official positions. They all start from the squad leader."
Gao Shaoyi asked these people to come over, on the one hand, to strengthen his own strength, and on the other hand, to strengthen the strength of the army. He would never let them become lords. According to their titles and official positions, the suppressing army would be expanded again.
There are millions of people, and I am afraid there is no way to give them an actual official position.
"Start with the squad leader? Can these people be willing?"
Wang Laosi was even more surprised. Even the lowest-ranking person above had to have a team of one or two thousand people, and an infantry squad only had about ten people. Can they bear this gap?
"It would be better to eat a bite of fairy peaches than a basket of rotten apricots. As long as these people are still passionate and want to make contributions to the country and shine the lintel of their ancestors, then they will give up their positions in the capital and join the army to suppress the captives.
A monitor."
Gao Shaoyi said very confidently that many people in the Daqian Dynasty were indeed of no use. Apart from being greedy for pleasure, they were probably just shit-making machines. However, among these noble children, there were still some who had long-term plans.
The people on the list were selected by Gao Shaoyi as very useful, but it does not mean that all of them will come.
But as long as one person can come to the grassland, it may be a help to Gao Shaoyi.
"There is another thing. Because Xuanning City was taken back, many people went back. This guy Luo Yuzhang went to Xuanning City to recruit troops behind our backs. He has already made up for the lost men and horses."
According to the regulations of the imperial court, the establishment of the suppressive army has been determined. In addition to the establishment, the imperial court does not allow the suppressive army to recruit one more soldier.
What Luo Yuzhang did was obviously in violation of the court's regulations, and Wang Laosi was also a little embarrassed.
"He is just a leader of the security group. How much does he have to do with the Suppression Army? If the court asks about it, he will push the matter to the Zhili Governor's Yamen. Li Zhongtang usually has nothing to do, so he is just allowed to go.
Wrangling with the imperial court."
Regarding Luo Yuzhang, Gao Shaoyi had all his information brought over, including some of his performances on the battlefield. Although this person was a little more reckless in doing things, he was still very measured. As long as he was given a little guidance, he would be better in the future.
It can help Gao Shaoyi take charge of his own affairs.
"There are nearly forty counties north of Xuanning City..."
Wang Laosi's eyes lit up. The security group was not a regular military organization of the imperial court, so it was very arbitrary. Moreover, these forty counties were all occupied by the Huns. If we take them back...
"You start preparing to form forty security groups. In addition, you can directly appoint officials to the court and get yourself a Governor Xuanning..."
Gao Shaoyi has a huge appetite. Didn't the court say it fully supports us? If that's the case, then we have to have a good time with you...
