After sending Baksang away, Wu Si was the first to raise his dissatisfaction and questions. He didn't understand why Zhao Qiang agreed to the Qing Dynasty's conditions, and even if he agreed temporarily, there was no need to kneel to Baksang. Guan Ning
The army is no longer what it used to be. Do we need to be afraid of the Tatars?
At Zhao Qiang's signal, Liu De explained to Wu Si, Guo Fei and others why he agreed to Baxang's conditions of surrender.【】
"Only in this way, the Qing army will not take us to heart; only in this way, the Qing army will not come to attack us after we have completely eliminated the Rakshasa people; only in this way, can we serve the Guan Ning army, the commander-in-chief, and the
Let’s fight for our own chance of survival!”
"It's just a nominal surrender. Taking away their weapons and accepting their name does not mean that we are really the lackeys of the Manchu Qing. When the time comes, the commander will definitely lead all the commanders south!"
As for the fact that Zhao Qiang took the lead in kneeling down, Liu De also explained it by saying that Han Xin could be humiliated.
"In the past, when Huaiyinhou was not yet prosperous, it was a big deal to be humiliated by local scoundrels. What the commander-in-chief is doing today is just to confuse the Qing army. It is nothing to make a fuss about. My commander-in-chief's kneeling down is quite worthy."
Okay, that's quite wonderful. Didn't you see that Baxang's face was full of contentment? Hehe, after his return this time, I'm afraid that Bahai was even more convinced of the commander's intention to join him. If he believed it, we
Our lives will be peaceful. Once the commander drives away the Rakshasa people and we no longer have any worries, we can go to Ninggu Pagoda and let Bahai kneel down to the commander."
Liu De's words dispelled the concerns of Wu Si and others. After unifying everyone's thoughts, Zhao Qiang urgently ordered Shouyi City to immediately enter a state of combat readiness. All mobilizable forces must be mobilized, because he was preparing to start the Dingyuan Campaign.
A three-stage battle plan.
Malone's Second Cavalry Regiment and three battalions of the newly formed Han Army in Yask immediately moved closer to Shouyi City after receiving the order. The Northern Pioneer Team commanded by He Manchuan escorted the five hundred Feiyala men and three hundred old men.
After the weak women and children arrived in Yask, their troops were also transferred to Shouyi City.
When all the people arrived at Shouyi City, it was already the fourth day of September. The weather was no longer so hot. The grass and trees were already covered with dew in the early morning, and there was a slight chill. According to the tribesmen who have been living here, it will not be so hot after that.
In a month, the weather will turn colder sharply, and it will snow in a few days. By then, the vast land will be covered with snow. Zhao Qiang is a little worried if he thinks that the third phase of Dingyuan operations cannot be completed before the snow falls, because
Time is too tight. Once the road is blocked by heavy snow, the battle of the large corps can only come to an end temporarily. At that time, the communication between various places will not be able to maintain real-time communication due to the weather. Therefore, before the heavy snow comes, the Russians must be defeated and defeated.
In order to avoid the Russians' organized and planned attacks on Guanning Army's territory after winter comes, Guanning Army, which is limited by weather, roads and other factors, can promptly reinforce the area being attacked.
……………
The various troops who were ordered to arrive in Yask had various numbers and belonged to various ministries. In order to unify the command, Zhao Qiang newly established the third infantry regiment. The position of commander of the regiment was held by He Manchuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Captives who had made great achievements. The military title was also
He was directly promoted to Qianhu. At this point, He Manchuan became the sixth Qianhu of the Guan Ning Army. The other five Qianhu were Captain Hu Wang of the First Infantry Regiment, Captain Qi Zhuang of the First Cavalry Regiment, Captain Wu Si of the Teaching Brigade, and General
Guo Fei, the commander of the government army, and Ma Long, captain of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.
The soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Regiment are composed of one Han military battalion originally transferred to the Northern Development Team and three new Han military battalions and the new attached battalion in Yask. The four Han military battalions were all converted into brigades, with a strength of 2,400.
The new attached camp originally had 2,700 soldiers of various ethnic groups. After selection, 1,200 people were organized into infantry regiments to form two brigades. The remaining 1 brigade consisted of the 500 Feiyala people and 100
Made up of the people of Sauron.
Different from the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Infantry Regiment has three brigades headed by foreign officers. They are Usman from Daur, Guargeda from Ewenki, and Ia from Feiyala.
Mu. Zhao Qiang made these three people the captains of the Hundred Household Brigade after careful consideration. When the Daur Usman Guanning Army was first established, he took the initiative to join the army. At first it was for gold and silver, but after a series of battles, his loyalty
He has also withstood the test, and his military merits are no less than those of some officers from the Wu Army. In view of this, Zhao Qiang decisively appointed him as the captain of the newly formed Daur Brigade. As for Guargada, despite its various shortcomings,
He and his tribe are suspected to have been tied to the Guan Ning Army. The blood of the people of all ethnic groups on their hands is no less than that of the Guan Ning Army itself. Therefore, although their combat effectiveness is not strong, Zhao Qiang did not hesitate to appoint him as the leader.
There are hundreds of households in the Ewenki Brigade. The purpose of forming the Feiyala Brigade is very simple, because according to He Manchuan, these Feiyala people are very bloody and dare to fight. There are more than a thousand men of the Feiyala people who will be moved later.
Because of this consideration, Zhao Qiang naturally formed this Feiyala brigade alone, and ordered Yask to immediately send their men to Shouyi City once all the Feiyala people moved here.
, as for how to explain to their leader Guo Yu, Zhao Qiang has never thought about it. If he insists on explaining, then Zhao Qiang will not mind letting him disappear from this world.
After reorganization, the Third Infantry Regiment has seven brigades, four Han army brigades, and three foreign brigades, with a total strength of 4,200 people. Because most of the officers and soldiers with combat experience are divided into the East and West Second Road Detachments.
, so there were not many experienced officers left in Yask, Dingyuan City, Shouyi City and other places, so Suihe Manchuanbei's Guards Squad was all transferred to the officers of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, and squad leader Jiang Si directly served as the First Infantry Regiment.
The hundred households of the brigade, Wei Xiaojiang, was also appointed as the hundred households of the second brigade, and the remaining ones who were not qualified were all transferred from Wu Si's teaching brigade.
The 2nd Cavalry Regiment maintained its original organizational structure. The two brigades originally affiliated with the 2nd Infantry Regiment were sent to the westward detachment, under the direct command of the regiment commander Zuo Mingnan. The third phase of the combat plan is for Zhao Qiang to lead his troops to attack Ukraine.
Disk, Tugursk and other Russian strongholds, while the westward detachment sent a unit to attack the Russian troops in Dujigensk and other places.
Wu Si was very disappointed when Zhao Qiang announced his appointment as an officer of the 3rd Infantry Regiment. Zhao Qiang saw his reaction and summoned him alone after the meeting, and then told him that he planned to general the division after the battle with the Rakshasa people was over.
If the regiment is promoted to a legion, Wu Si will be given the position of division commander.
"Now you just need to be responsible for teaching the brigade. You must thoroughly implement the combat experience I have summarized in recent days, as well as some of the combat methods and officer training manuals listed. The Rakshasa people now are just small enemies, the real big ones
The enemy is the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Are you still afraid that you will have no troops and no battles to fight?"
After Wu Si heard this, he felt much better, but he was still a little depressed: "Everyone else is leading the troops to go out, but I am staying in Shouyi City. It is really boring these days. Commander, you don't know my temperament, Wu Si.
If I keep living like this, I might as well die in a head-on collision."
"is it so serious?"
Zhao Qiang smiled, stood up and said, "Don't worry, if you want to hit me to death, I won't let you go. I will definitely let you get what you want within three months at the latest."
When Wu Si heard this, Huo De stood up and stared at Zhao Qiang: "Is this true?"
Zhao Qiang suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Seriously!"
"good!"
After receiving Zhao Qiang's assurance, Wu Si laughed heartily: "The commander is busy, I will say goodbye!" After saying that, he walked out the door with satisfaction. Zhao Qiang saw him and smiled knowingly. He has known Wu Si for such a long time, and he is this person.
As I know very well, as Wu Si himself said, he is not a patient person. If he were to continue to be the teaching captain, I am afraid he would be really depressed.
