As soon as he saw Zhao Qiang, Wei Jina bowed his head and said: "Commander, you are the leader of the whole army. How can you rashly form the formation? If the commander has a flaw, the foundation that our Guan Ning Army has finally built will be destroyed."
The moon is shining brightly.【】”
Accompanying Wei Ji were several officials from various departments under Cao Mincao, as well as Duncan, the Portuguese Guo Youshou, and the Dutchman Guo Youcai. The officials from various departments under Mincao all knelt down with Cao Cao, and Duncan
As for Guo Youshou and Guo Youcai, they hesitated for a moment and knelt down. They followed the Romans. They were no longer priests with the aura of the emperor, but prisoners of Guan Ning's army. But they could no longer pretend to be powerful. Besides, this Wei Cao official
He was a handsome man, but he killed two of their companions without blinking an eye. He must not be offended. Otherwise, if he was unhappy and waved his hand, his head would fall off and he would be unjustly accused.
Ever since Zhao Qiang told Duncan that he wanted them to purchase arms for him, the "Guo brothers" have been very eager and anxious. Staying at Shouyi City Hospital and hearing the good news constantly coming from various places, they were really happy. Hope.
Stars longing for the moon, they finally waited for this Tatar general to summon them. The three of them were extremely excited all the way, mixed with the excitement of seeing the sun and moon after the clouds opened. Especially the Dutchman Guo Youcai was the most excited and often hummed involuntarily.
From the tune of his hometown, when he came, the Tatar general wanted to purchase arms, and the best purchase target was of course his home country, the Netherlands, and he happened to know several employees of the East India Company. As long as the Tatar general put him in charge,
Guo Youcai is convinced that he will earn a huge fortune.
Guo Youcai's excitement made Duncan and Guo Youshou very disdainful. Why do you think that the general will purchase from your Dutch East India Company instead of purchasing from our Spanish or Portuguese merchants in the East? The two made up their minds that once this Tatar
General Tartar wants to use the stolen Russian wealth to expand his strength. The two of them must let their motherland get a piece of the pie no matter what, and they must not let the Dutch take this wealth alone. Of course, the most important thing is to
I have made a huge fortune myself, otherwise I would be sorry for the suffering I had to endure all the way from the East.
Wei Ji didn't know what Duncan, Youshou, and Youcai had in mind. He didn't have a good impression of these Folangji people. In addition to feeling that they were degrading and weird in appearance, he also felt that these Folangji people were secretly hiding something.
Those who are unscrupulous for profit do not understand why the marshal wants to keep these Folangji people and bring them with him. Therefore, towards the three of them, Wei Ji's behavior is lukewarm and lukewarm.
They were doing business in a business-like manner, and even if they saw something displeasing to their eyes, they would put on the airs of a civilian official and scold them. In response, Duncan explained to Guo Youcai and Guo Youshou that it was the old Chinese saying that the king of hell is easy to see, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
.
After arriving in Yask, Wei Ji learned that Zhao Qiang had brought the security team, a new battalion of the Han army and the Cossack team to encircle and suppress the Barhu people. He was so frightened that he stood there on the spot, and then without saying a word, he pulled Duncan and the others.
He quickly drove to the northeast. Wei Ji wanted to make a speech, yes, he wanted to make a speech, or to remonstrate, because as a civilian official in the general government, he could not tolerate the commander's decision to do anything for the sake of a small Balhu village.
It would be child's play to personally lead the troops to fight!
The person who holds the position is responsible for the overall situation. He should sit at the center and control the four directions. He can take action personally at every turn, especially when dealing with such an enemy who is not a match at all. If he is unfortunate enough to get a cold arrow or something, it will be a big deal. Since ancient times,
There are too many examples of leaders who died just after the foundation was established, causing the power to fall apart. Out of concern for Zhao Qiang and cherishing the hard-won situation of Guan Ningjun, Wei Ji sincerely wanted to advise Zhao Qiang, the lord in his heart,
I hope he will stop doing things that make his subordinates worry. In his view, if something happens to Zhao Qiang, the current Guan Ning Army will not have a general who can control the situation to take over, not to mention that the Guan Ning Army has always been strong and weak.
Being strong is entirely the result of Zhao Qiang's hard work. Without him, Guan Ning's army will once again become a piece of scattered sand. Without him, Guan Ning's army will disappear like a meteor in this vast land.
Only the commander-in-chief can lead us to glory! The Guan Ning Army is the Guan Ning Army of Zhao Qiang. Without Zhao Qiang, there would be no Guan Ning Army. Wei Ji firmly believes in this.
Marshal? Wei Ji's title made Zhao Qiang stunned for a moment, but he quickly accepted the title. Marshal, well, it sounds quite majestic, at least it sounds more impressive than the division commander or Qianhu.
.For a long time, Zhao Qiang has not yet decided what role he will play, and his subordinates are also very vague about what he calls himself. Now Wei Ji has given him the honorific title of "Commander", which just solves these problems.
The current Guan Ning Army is in a very embarrassing situation, that is, it was born out of Wu Sangui's remnant army, and Wu Sangui has passed away long ago, and his Great Zhou Dynasty has become a thing of the past, so the Guan Ning Army is another army without Wu's influence at all.
Army. However, the old troops of the Wu Army were still loyal to Wu Sangui and the Zhou Dynasty. Senior officers even believed that Wu Sangui's revenge was the motivation for going south. This made the Guan Ning Army an army that had little to do with Wu Sangui, but was full of them.
The army influenced by Wu Sangui. Zhao Qiang only played a leader and guide here. Although his personal authority allowed Guan Ningjun to do what he wanted, he could not let himself become Wu Sangui's substitute. Therefore,
From the early Qianhu to the current division commander, Zhao Qiang has only continuously promoted himself in military positions, but has never established his image as the supreme commander in politics.
Without a sound military mechanism, Zhao Qiang can only place himself under the dead Wu Sangui. The "marshal" sent by Wei Ji is undoubtedly the most suitable for Zhao Qiang's status. From now on, he can use his identity as a commander to command Guan Qiang.
Ning Jun, commanding all the troops. As the war progresses, Zhao Qiang believes that the soldiers' respect for the "General" must be much stronger than that of the "Pingxi King" whom they have never heard of. As long as they respect the Qing Dynasty
The operation was a great success. By then, the senior officers would have to change their minds. At that time, it would be much easier to carry out "de-Wuhua" to cater to the Han people in the pass.
"My subordinates beg the commander-in-chief. For rebels like Baerhu, the commander-in-chief can choose a capable person to deal with them, but he must not put himself in danger. It is for the commander-in-chief's plan, for Guan Ning's military plan, and for the sake of the people inside the pass.
The Han people plan that the commander-in-chief’s body worth thousands of dollars must not venture into danger lightly!” After Wei Ji finished speaking, he kowtowed a few times. His kowtows were real, and the “dong-dong-dong” sound could be heard in Zhao Qiang’s ears.
You can't help but be moved by his loyalty.
"Okay, I know your thoughts well."
People are people, even if they are half-hearted people, the marks on their bodies are the same. Zhao Qiang does not think there is any danger in leading the troops to suppress the Barhu people, but Wei Ji is out of concern and loyalty, so it is not easy to refute him.
. Then he said haha, I understood the meaning. He said to Wei Ji and the other kneeling people: "Get up." After Wei Ji stood up, he motioned to his horse and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk as we walk."
The horse then headed forward.
Seeing this, Wei Ji hurriedly turned over his mount, and all the attendants followed, including Duncan, Guo Youcai, and Guo Youshou.
"Duncan, this Tatar general seems to have killed a lot of people." Guo Youshou went to the back of the team, where there were many heads piled on several carriages, and secretly said to Duncan.
Duncan also turned back when he heard this, and then shook his head at Guo Youshou: "Ronaldo, don't call the General a Tatar in the future. This will make the General angry."
"Why?" Guo Youshou was a little confused. Who were these people if they weren't Tatars?
Duncan raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Qiang, who was talking to Wei Caoguan in front of him, and whispered: "The general is Han, and the generals of this army are all Han, so they are not Tatars like the Qing barbarians."
When Duncan said this, Guo Youcai didn't understand: "But in the Guanning Army, most of the soldiers are Tatars."
"Does this matter?" Duncan shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, you have to know that the people who control this army are the Han people of the country."
"Oh, okay, since the general guides our wealth, why don't we respectfully call him general?" Guo Youcai and Guo Youshou looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and said no more.
After returning to Yask, Zhao Qiang handed Wei Ji full responsibility for the construction of the city. According to the city construction plan discussed by Wei Ji and Liu De, the perimeter of Yask City reached three miles, and the wall was three meters high. In addition to accommodating General Guan Ning, the city
In addition to the government and military government offices, it can also accommodate a population of 5,000. The entire city construction plan will require more than 10,000 people to build the city, and all related supporting facilities must be in place. Based on this calculation, just building Yask City will require the use of the Guanning Army Control Area
The consumption of 60% of the population, materials, food, etc. will also be unprecedentedly huge.
Zhao Qiang was not interested in the process of building the city. He just wanted to know how long it would take to build Yask according to Wei Ji's plan. Wei Ji pondered for a long time before telling Zhao Qiang that if it was completely built, it would probably take two years. After hearing this time,
Zhao Qiang was dumbfounded, and then ignored Wei Ji's persuasion and reduced the size of Yasi City by half with a stroke of his pen.
"Yask must be completed before the spring of next year. I don't care what methods you use or how many people die. In short, if the city of Yask is not completed before the spring, I will only ask you!"
