Chapter 144 142. The fall of Fengtai County will start a new chapter
Faced with the sudden concern, Liu Qiang was very moved.
"Now my true strength has penetrated into my spleen and stomach, and I will soon be able to train my lungs."
Liu Qiang swallowed his breath, and a "moo" sound, a muffled sound like thunder, came from his abdomen.
"Yes, it seems that the trivial matters in the military camp have not slowed down your cultivation speed."
Ren Pingsheng praised.
"There is no war happening now. Apart from reading, studying, and training in the school field, I basically spend a lot of my free time practicing martial arts.
Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Only by practicing diligently and without hesitation can you make progress."
Liu Qiang practices diligently every day and is very satisfied with the progress of his practice.
Ren Pingsheng nodded and agreed and said: "Yes, so do I. In addition to overall management, I also spend the rest of my time practicing martial arts. Today I finally broke through the viscera stage and developed dark strength."
"You don't have to worry about people. The most indispensable thing in troubled times is population. Previously, I had already ordered the Ministry of Civil Affairs to re-measure the land that had been abandoned at the beginning of the year, and add the large area of the Xie family's land.
The refugees who went south were registered, and those who were able-bodied were kept to wait for their land allocation.
"If one person serves as a soldier, the whole family will be honored!"
Those who were running obstacles, those who were crawling with guns in hand, those who were catching pairs of soldiers and practicing bayonet fighting. The sweat on the soldiers' bodies had soaked their thin vests. Everyone was tanned, and many of them had their skin broken.
As long as there are stutterers, safety guarantees, and land allocations, no one will want to continue wandering, living a life of one meal but no next meal, one day without tomorrow.
Liu Qiang stood next to Ren Pingsheng and after the introduction, he took the opportunity to talk about the difficulties he faced:
“However, our territory is still too small and we face many problems.
The current team of hundreds of people in the Zaozao Bureau can't conquer a bolt-action rifle with complete drawings and simple structure! It can only be said that the gap and gap between basic learning and basic materials is too big.
"Fengtai fell?"
Ren Pingsheng frowned, feeling that something big had happened: "Bring it here."
However, when people leave their hometowns and are low-income people, there are constant bandits and bandits on the road. It is easy for them to lose food and drink and die unexpectedly.
"Fengtai fell into the hands of the rebels, and the main tone has been clear."
Ren Pingsheng tore open the wax-sealed letter. The content of the letter was very brief.
But there is really no progress in the rifle project!
When Liu Qiang saw Ren Pingsheng looking at him, he nodded fiercely and said: "My boss, you are far-sighted and have told us a long time ago, and we have already made this preparation.
"If you are a soldier, you are not afraid of death. If you are afraid of death, you are not a soldier!"
In just a few moments, the heartstrings of the woman in labor were suddenly stirred.
Ren Pingsheng looked at the school field. Some soldiers were training in shooting events. The soldiers were in twos and threes, taking turns to shoot.
Our team training cannot be slack for a moment, and we must always be prepared for war."
After all, Qingcheng is an important town on the north-south thoroughfare. Now Yuntai County is showing signs of falling into chaos. Many people have to go south through Qingcheng to escape the war in the relatively stable south.
"Fengtai County fell, Liu Zi's army occupied Fengtai, and the rebel troops were directed towards Yinshan. According to the information we learned from the government offices in Le County, the rebels claimed to have an army of 500,000 people, but in fact they had 300,000 troops.
There are about 10,000 people, including civilians, as well as refugees and rioters who are trapped along the way."
Although Ren had always relied on his abundant military virtue, he refused to hand over the food.
The high-pitched shouts and sonorous chants gave the entire training ground an air of iron blood.
Next, officers and soldiers harass local areas, government exploitation intensifies, and bandits and thieves take advantage of the chaos... These will become the norm.
"ha!"
Ren Pingsheng looked around at the people on the high platform and said: "Now, it depends on whether Yinshan can be defended, or how long it can be defended.
In fact, although the number of refugees heading south from North Anhui has decreased, there are still many refugees on official roads.
However, regardless of whether it can be defended or not, it is an indisputable fact that the entire Yuntai County will be in chaos.
The impact of a few words was extremely huge for them!
There is only so much land in Qingcheng Town, and the output from the land is countless. Moreover, because there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Yinshan, they are constantly sucking blood from the surrounding areas and plundering food to use as military rations, which has caused complaints from the people.
In this chaotic time, food is the morale of the army. As long as there is food, it is not easy to attack the enemy!
Shi Qiang, at this time, we must be ready to launch a rapid expansion plan for recruiting troops!"
"My boss, now our regiment training is divided into regular soldiers supported by finance, peasant soldiers trained in leisure time, and civilian soldiers recruited during wartime.
Ren Pingsheng looked from the high platform and saw hundreds of soldiers training on the school field.
In this way, regular soldiers can be expanded to a regiment at any time.
What is really lacking is food.
"The soldiers strictly abide by my master's instructions, train diligently every day, and are always ready to deal with the war that may come at any time. Please come here, my master."
The second is insufficient food supply. Once a war begins, the number of civilians who can be mobilized will not be enough, and it will be difficult to ensure the food routes in the rear and fully guarantee the food supply."
"During the group training, someone came to report that he was from Qixing Trading Company and Le County Caravan."
After all, this is what he needs to settle down.
Among them, there are 500 regular soldiers who have come to fight, 2,000 militiamen who serve every three days, and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers. In addition, people are sent to each village for propaganda and registration on weekdays. Once a war breaks out, they can be dispatched at any time.
More than 5,000 civilians were recruited for corvee service."
Soon, a young man in black clothes with a tired face and a tired face ran in, holding a letter in his hand: "Sir, this is a letter from the caravan captain Liu Wu. Fengtai County fell three days ago!"
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand and said: "Let's see how the regiment soldiers are training. There are a lot of moves in Yinshan during this period, and the war will be about to break out.
"kill!"
"Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war."
Many of the slogans were casually spoken by Ren Pingsheng, and Liu Qiang remembered them and sent people to print them on the walls of the group training camp.
However, the fall of Fengtai County has long been expected by everyone and has been rehearsed countless times. This itself is a high probability event. Even in the early stage, the imperial army had already abandoned the undefendable Fengtai County.
, and concentrated the army in Yinshan County, and fought a decisive battle with the rebels.
In troubled times, for Qingcheng, population is not a scarce resource.
After analysis of the registration list, there are now quite a few refugees from Fengtai County and the Mangshan Mountains in North Anhui. As long as we give porridge and provide disaster relief here, there will be a steady stream of people coming. When the time comes, you will select soldiers. You are not physically fit enough.
Those who are considered regular soldiers can also be trained to be used as militiamen."
When Ren Pingsheng was discussing the recruitment matter with Liu Qiang, the soldier on duty at the gate suddenly ran in and reported to Ren Pingsheng.
When Liu Qiang heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "My boss's speed in entering the country is really extraordinary."
"It's all about practicing hard every day."
The fall of Fengtai means that the more than 200,000 troops hoarded by Yinshan will officially come into contact with the Liu Ziqi rebels. Yinshan and its surrounding areas will officially fall into the quagmire of war, and the entire Yuntai County will also enter a countdown to chaos!
Not only Yuntai County, but also the entire Wuzhou Province has begun to enter a new era of war.
Ren Pingsheng came to Liu Qiang. In addition to showing off his cultivation progress, he also wanted to know more about the current military construction in Qingcheng.
The trained soldiers are divided into several modules.
Ren Pingsheng read out the text message softly, and the troop ordering platform was quiet. Everyone frowned, thinking about how to welcome the fall of Fengtai and the arrival of the era of chaos.
"Train hard, don't be afraid of sacrifice!"
The effective range of the shotgun is still a little short, and in comparison it is not as good as the powerful bow and crossbow.
We will continue to replenish troops and recruit a large number of refugees into the recruit training camp. As long as we train for two months and follow the orders and prohibitions, we can quickly form a certain combat effectiveness."
In this environment, Qingcheng Town will inevitably face impacts.
In fact, in the camp outside the city, the 2,000 militiamen on Feihu's side are trained very hard. At least one-third of the militiamen can be recruited into the army at any time and enter the ranks of the regular soldiers. After a little training, they will be able to get used to it.
Able to go to the battlefield.
Everyone started practicing from the same starting point. Unexpectedly, the master’s practice has far surpassed theirs.
Ren Pingsheng said.
"With my youth, I will guard Qingcheng!"
First, the population base is insufficient to support the number of soldiers. Now Fengtai County has become a place where the two armies are facing each other, and the victims of Beiwan cannot get through. The people in Beiwan are very capable of enduring hardships and fight ruthlessly, which is very good.
There are fewer soldiers, but now there are fewer people, and there are also fewer good soldiers to expand the regiment training.
Viewed from the high platform, many slogans were printed throughout the military camp.
Liu Qiang took Ren Pingsheng to the high platform of the school grounds.
However, once the Qingcheng regiment trains a large-scale recruitment, especially if it recruits a large number of regular soldiers who are not engaged in production and are dedicated to fighting, it will be difficult to maintain food. Even if they want to buy food from the surrounding areas, they will not be able to buy it!
Before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass must go first. This is the real headache.
Liu Qiang's words gave Ren Pingsheng more confidence.
"Now, Yuntai County has entered a wartime state, and I'm afraid we don't have much time left. Your mission now is to speed up recruitment and improve the combat effectiveness of the regiment training team as soon as possible!
As for food and logistics, I will figure it out."
Ren Pingsheng's responsibility also made Liu Qiang feel confident.
