One hundred and fortieth eight chapters Dingyuan battle twenty-two
The East and West 2nd Route Detachment took away more than half of the troops. Now the only regular troops left in Yask are Zhao Qiang's division guards and two brigades of the 2nd Infantry Regiment. The total number of troops is only 1,400. [] In addition,
There is also the newly established Yask Security Team, with 300 soldiers.
The two spear brigades left behind in Dingyuan City and Gulihe City have been transferred to the westward detachment according to the transfer order. Now only the security teams remain in the second city. Because the residents in Gulihe City are too Russianized, they still have some doubts about Russia.
Therefore, Zhao Qiang sent an order to Wei Ji of Shouyi City to transfer 500 people from the Public Security Department and the soldiers left behind in Shouyi City into a temporary battalion and transfer them to Guli River City to intimidate those residents. In this way, Guli
There are 800 irregular troops stationed in Hecheng. All the young and strong men in the city have been recruited, and those who are left are old, weak, women and children. With 800 people stationed, it is absolutely safe. The residents of Dingyuan City are not satisfied with the Guan Ning army.
The arrival is very welcome, and with the help of Han people, although there is only one security team, there is no worry of being lost. What's more, according to the news from Dingyuan City, more and more Han people are heading to Dingyuan City with their families, taking the initiative
Those who have signed up to join the army have already crowded through the recruitment registration point set up by the sergeant in Dingyuan City. With this kind of love between the soldiers and the people, it would be foolish to say that people with different ideas want to cause trouble in Dingyuan City.
In Shouyi City, more than 1,000 people from various ethnic groups have recently come to join the army. Guo Fei selected 300 men from them to train and join the Public Security Department. The remaining men left behind include nearly 900 irregular men.
Bing. Wu Si's training brigade is the only regular Guanning army in Shouyi City now. It has more than 500 trainees, but most of them are sergeants who have just fought on the battlefield once or twice, so the combat effectiveness is not too high, and it has just been operational.
Therefore, it was originally planned to send the Cossacks to Shouyi City to prevent the Manchu attack. However, Zhao Qiang changed his mind temporarily because Shouyi City was too empty now. Sending the Cossacks there would be a problem to some extent.
This increased hidden dangers, so he kept the Cossacks.
After Wei Ji and Liu De received Zhao Qiang's order, on the one hand they accelerated the reception work in various places and sent civil affairs personnel to manage it. On the other hand, they were also busy preparing cold-proof clothing and food for the army for the winter. They were extremely busy.
Liu De still has to take some time to go to Wu Si's teaching brigade to implement Zhao Qiang's intention, so he rarely has time to relax. However, according to the secret report of the person monitoring him, Liu De seems to be very satisfied with his current life, and he is very careful about his errands. It seems that
He already considered himself a member of Guan Ningjun. The secret letter also mentioned one thing, that is, after Zhao Qiang left, Liu De organized the children of Wu Jun's family and set up two classrooms to teach them at the Shouyi City Translation School.
Because he was only a scholar, the lessons he taught were simple. For example, "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Characters", etc., and occasionally he would tell the children a story about the Three Kingdoms.
Liu De's performance made Zhao Qiang quite satisfied. From his education of children, Zhao Qiang also realized that he should increase investment in education. This investment did not refer to financial investment, but related teaching materials. Zhao Qiang really wanted to educate the children.
Everyone reads it, but in the entire area controlled by the Guanning Army, except for some Russian scriptures and tadpole-like Russian, there is no Chinese at all, and there are no printing equipment, making it difficult to popularize knowledge and education. Waiting for Duolun Chan
If you take it, can you send someone to North Korea to buy some printing equipment and certificates, Zhao Qiang thought.
For several days, Zhao Qiang has been busy with matters in Yask. He wants to send people to the surrounding areas to order the small tribesmen to surrender, and also restores the production and life of Yask, so he is busy in circles. Until Min Cao and Sergeant Cao arrived.
After the personnel arrived, Zhao Qiang rested. Ji Ahua, director of the Animal Husbandry Department, came to Yask on Wei Ji's order. He reported to Zhao Qiang the work of each department, and finally took out a letter for Zhao Qiang to read.
The letter was written in the name of Wei Ji, but after Zhao Qiang passed by, he knew that the content of the letter was probably Liu De's. The content of the letter was nothing, except that Wei Ji requested Zhao Qiang to immediately appoint Dingyuan, Gulihe, and Yask.
City officials can also coordinate and arrange the affairs of each city. Finally, Zhao Qiang is asked to decide as soon as possible where the Guan Ning Army will be stationed. Because Zhao Qiang once made it clear that Shouyi City is not suitable to serve as the base camp of the Guan Ning Army because there is no buffer zone. Once the Qing army comes in large numbers,
If he attacks, Guan Ning's army will fall into a situation of losing its foundation.
"In the past, the general only had the land of one city with more than a thousand troops, but now he has the land of several cities, nearly 10,000 troops, and a population of tens of thousands under his control. To govern it only with the chief minister, Cao, will do more harm than good. The general's intention is to go south,
When I was in Guanneihua, I made a recommendation from the lower officials that the general should set up officials to govern the government and use the Han system to govern the people of all ethnic groups. Only then when he goes south can he be justified and win the hearts of the people in the world."
"Are these words from Wei Ji or Liu De?" Zhao Qiang chuckled, put the letter on the table, and glanced at Ji Ahua, who was nervous in front of him.
Ji Ahua's left arm was cut off by the Qing army in the Battle of Tu'erling. After recovering from the injury, he served as the director of the Animal Husbandry Department. He was from Guangyuan, Sichuan. He joined the Wu army in the 14th year of Kangxi's reign. He is only thirty-six years old this year, but
He was much older, with the wrinkles on his forehead clearly visible, and the stubble on his newly grown hair was still gray. Hearing the division commander's question, Ji Ahua hurriedly said respectfully: "In reply to your Majesty, the letter was given to me by Mr. Wei."
The other subordinates don’t know about it.”
"After you go back, tell Wei Ji that the establishment of government officials is of great importance and cannot be decided easily at the moment. Let him do his own thing in peace and don't worry about it."
It is good to set up officials to govern the yamen, but where can Zhao Qiang find people to serve as officials? There are only two and a half hanging people in the army. Is it possible that he can find Russians to serve as county magistrates? Besides, the battle in Dingyuan has not yet begun.
At the end of the war, it is still unclear how much land and population will be obtained after the war. Therefore, it is too hasty to build Dingyuan County, Shouyi Prefecture, etc. now.
When Ji Ahua came over, he not only reported his work, but also handed the letter to the division commander, and then reported the division commander's intention to Wei Ji. As for whether the division commander agreed or not, he had no idea, because he didn't understand the idea of establishing official rule at all.
What benefit does the Yamen have to Guan Ningjun and the old brothers? In his eyes, Wei Caoguan's suggestion is really not good. Setting up officials to govern the Yamen is not just a matter of granting a few county magistrates. The county magistrate in his hometown
But it's really not that good. Apart from the common people, Ji Ahua really can't imagine what the county magistrate has brought to the common people.
