Hearing Dong Songan's words in desperation, Huang Jiashi smiled: Third sister? You said this yourself. We have never said where the queen is.
I kept saying "Uncle Guo" from beginning to end, but you yourself said "Sister Three". Isn't this just self-inflicted?
Moreover, the Empress also mentioned that she has three biological brothers and sisters, an older brother and a younger sister. However, the ranking of a wealthy family generally does not only include direct siblings, but also cousins, especially the Dong family.
The species have not been separated yet.
Counting her second uncle's children, she, Dong Yunyun, ranks third among the Dong family's siblings.
The third sister Dong Songan mentioned is definitely the empress!
Seeing the playful smile on Huang Jiashi's face, Dong Songan was also a smart man, and he didn't know that he had let it slip. Thinking about his previous panic performance, he must have been able to hide it from the people in front of him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
If his third sister really became the fake empress of the Tang Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Dong family, with the entire family exterminated and the entire family confiscated.
This is how to do ah?
Dong Songan was stunned on the spot, and Huang Jiashi then said: "There are other people in your family, can you introduce them to them?"
Huang Jiashi said that, but he had already taken two steps forward. Looking at this posture, he was planning to break in even if Dong Songan didn't introduce him.
Dong Songan just wanted to stop him, saying something like it was inconvenient to have women in the house, but the words came to his lips but he didn't say them out. Now that the matter has come to this, what's the point of stopping these people from entering?
I could only sigh softly, and then led Huang Jiashi and others in.
What happened later was not a big surprise. The appearance of Huang Jiashi and the words "Uncle Guo" he said once again shocked Old Man Dong, Dong Bode and others. Old Man Dong even fainted on the spot.
But Qu Guangtai said in an incomprehensible manner that Mr. Dong was overly surprised by these surprises, and then he fainted. After saying this, the Dong family members wanted to curse him on the spot.
What a pleasant surprise, he was obviously frightened!
Huang Jiashi did not 'surprise' them in the Dong family for too long. After greeting the Dong family, he sent someone back to Xingquan Mansion to report to Li Xuan and ask for instructions on how to arrange the Dong family.
The next day, after Li Xuan received the report, he also had a headache on how to arrange the Dong family.
Because there was nothing concealed in Huang Jiashi's report, and the reactions and attitudes of the Dong family were all written down in the report.
Huang Jiashi said that the Dong family did not show any joy at the fact that their legitimate daughter became the queen of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, they were extremely frightened and even refused to accept it. They said several times that their eldest daughter of the Dong family had died last year.
He had already died of illness.
Seeing Huang Jiashi's report made Li Xuan feel a little troubled.
To be honest, he can understand the thoughts of the Dong family. After all, the Dong family is a scholarly family, and it is also a family of officials. There are still people who are officials in the court. This suddenly has a relationship with the rebels, and the queen of the rebels
They are still members of the Dong family, so this matter is a disaster from heaven for them.
However, it doesn't really matter what the Dong family members think. The important thing is that by finding them, I can give Dong Yunyun an explanation.
If these Dong family members are allowed to escape, and Dong Yunyun's identity is exposed in the future, none of these Dong family members may survive, and all of them will be wiped out by the Ming Dynasty.
Killing the Nine Clan is no joke!
So you still have to keep them first!
He immediately sent people to Guanghe Village and asked Huang Jiashi to bring the Dong family back and settle them down.
As for how to arrange the Dong family people in the future, we have to wait until Dong Yunyun arrives at Xingquan Mansion. After all, this matter is not important to Li Xuan to be honest. If it weren't for taking care of Dong Yunyun's feelings, he would be too lazy to talk to the Dong family people.
Woolen cloth.
Let Dong Yunyun and the Dong family decide for themselves where the Dong family will go from here!
After Huang Jiashi received the order, he quickly brought the Dong family back to Xingquan Fucheng. As for the process, it was no longer important whether the Dong family was willing or not, because Huang Jiashi brought dozens of agents along with him.
'Escort' them back to Xingquan Fucheng.
The affairs of the Dong family did not involve too much of Li Xuan's energy. He only asked occasionally in the past few days. His time was very precious. He was busy with many military and political affairs every day, but he did not have much time to think about the people of the Dong family.
how do you feel.
After hearing that Huang Jiashi said that the Dong family had been settled, he nodded slightly: "You continue to keep an eye on what happens next!"
After saying that, Li Xuan completely forgot about the Dong family and strode directly into the strategic meeting room of the Privy Council.
Then the bodyguards sang loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
In the strategic conference room, more than 20 officers of the New Army of the Tang Dynasty turned around in unison and wanted to kneel down and salute.
Li Xuan immediately waved his hand: "No need to be polite!"
However, although the kneeling ceremony is no longer needed, these people still dare not forget to bend down and salute.
As he spoke, he had already walked to the dragon chair placed at the top. After sitting down, he raised his hand slightly and said, "Sit flat!"
At this time, many officers stood up straight!
Li Xuan glanced at Zeng Ziwen, and then said: "Let's start, let's talk about the situation of the army first."
The topic to be discussed today has been decided a few days ago, which is to formulate the next strategic action plan for the Datang New Army.
Whether to fight, where to fight, and how to fight are all issues that need to be discussed in today's imperial strategy meeting.
Zeng Ziwen was the doctor of the War Department and the general responsible for the training and operations of the entire army. On today's occasion, he naturally assumed the role of host of the meeting.
I saw him take a step forward, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, after this period of rest and replenishment, the original troops before crossing the river have fully restored their combat effectiveness. At the same time, in accordance with the army expansion plan, we have adopted a gradual expansion method.
The expansion of the 1st Infantry Battalion, 2nd Infantry Battalion, 6th Infantry Battalion, and 7th Infantry Battalion has been limited. At present, the 1st Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Infantry Battalion have completed the expansion of the whole battalion and can be fully equipped.
Ready to fight!"
"The new fifth team of the 6th Infantry Battalion and the 7th Infantry Battalion is currently being integrated, and it is expected that the expansion will be completed in five days!"
The Sixth Infantry Battalion and Seventh Infantry Battalion mentioned by Zeng Ziwen are actually the former First Mixed Battalion and Second Mixed Battalion.
The reason why we chose to prioritize the expansion of the above-mentioned four battalions is because these four battalions are the current core and main forces of the New Army of the Tang Dynasty, and it is reasonable to prioritize expansion.
Zeng Ziwen continued: "The remaining 3rd Infantry Battalion, 4th Infantry Battalion, and 5th Infantry Battalion are also continuing to rest and expand, and it is expected that the expansion will be completed in one month."
"The newly-built 8th Infantry Battalion, 9th Infantry Battalion, and 10th Infantry Battalion are currently under preparation. Affected by the shortage of soldiers, it is expected that the arrival of the soldiers may be delayed. In addition, the attached muskets will also take time. Therefore, these three
The battalion is expected to be ready in two months!"
"The two garrison battalions are in good condition, the first garrison battalion is fully staffed, and the new second garrison battalion is also intensifying training!"
As Zeng Ziwen explained the details of each battalion, everyone also had an intuitive understanding of the current status of the New Army of the Tang Dynasty.
Twelve days have passed since they captured Xingquan Mansion. During this period, the New Army of the Tang Dynasty hardly wasted a day and expanded its troops as much as possible.
And it has achieved considerable results. At least four main battalions have completed their expansion!
After talking about the basic situation of each battalion and team, Zeng Ziwen took out another organization document and continued: "In accordance with His Majesty's decree, our Operations Department has completed the detailed organization plan and troop allocation of the four infantry regiments!" said
At this point, Zeng Ziwen glanced at Li Xuan.
After seeing Li Xuan nodded slightly, Zeng Ziwen continued: "Based on the size of our army's strength and subsequent strategic needs, a total of four infantry regiments have been organized.
The First Infantry Regiment consists of the First Infantry Battalion, the Second Infantry Battalion, the Third Infantry Battalion, the First Reconnaissance Cavalry Team, the First Baggage Team, and the First Battalion Artillery Team.
The Second Infantry Regiment consists of the 4th Infantry Battalion, the 5th Infantry Battalion, the 6th Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Reconnaissance Cavalry Team, the 2nd Baggage Team, and the 2nd Battalion Artillery Team.
The 3rd Infantry Regiment consists of the 7th Infantry Battalion, the 8th Infantry Battalion, the 9th Infantry Battalion, the 3rd Reconnaissance Cavalry Team, the 3rd Baggage Brigade, and the 3rd Battalion Artillery Team.
The Fourth Infantry Regiment is composed of the 10th Infantry Battalion, the 1st Garrison Battalion, the 2nd Garrison Battalion, the 4th Reconnaissance Cavalry Team, the 4th Baggage Company, and the 4th Battalion Artillery Team."
The formation of these four infantry regiments did not surprise many people, because many people had expected that these four infantry regiments would be organized in the order of the infantry battalion numbers.
Looking at the strength distribution of these four infantry regiments, the one with the strongest combat effectiveness is naturally the First Infantry Regiment, which has two main battalions. At the same time, the Third Infantry Battalion is also an old unit, and the reconnaissance cavalry in the First Infantry Regiment is
The first team and the first battalion artillery team are currently the only full-scale reconnaissance cavalry and battalion artillery units in the New Army of the Tang Dynasty.
Most of the reconnaissance cavalry teams in several other infantry regiments only have a dozen or twenty cavalry. As for the battalion artillery, they are only empty frames. Recently, the four 150-pound battalion cannon sent from Zhengtai County have all been destroyed by the battalion.
The first team of artillery took it.
The artillery teams of several other battalions can only use bowl-mouth cannons captured from the Ming army for the time being.
In the previous battles, the New Army of the Tang Dynasty captured a lot of bowl-mouth cannons of various styles and sizes from the Ming Army. Those that were too small were naturally discarded, but there were also some bowls with larger caliber and power.
Mouth cannon, I reluctantly used it first.
The 1st Infantry Regiment is the main force. Among the other three infantry regiments, the 2nd Infantry Regiment follows. The 6th Infantry Battalion is the main force of the original 1st Mixed Battalion. The 4th Infantry Battalion is also a ready-made unit.
Although the 5th Infantry Battalion was just established, the 5th Infantry Battalion was formed by directly drawing troops from each battalion. Many of the soldiers in it were veterans, and their combat effectiveness was pretty good.
As for the Third Infantry Regiment, it is worse, because there is only one existing infantry battalion, the Seventh Infantry Battalion, while the Eighth Infantry Battalion and the Ninth Infantry Battalion are still under preparation.
As for the Fourth Infantry Regiment, its two battalions are garrison battalions that mainly use cold weapons. The only regular battalion, the Tenth Infantry Battalion, is still under preparation. It has just been set up, and even the soldiers don’t know where it is yet!
Therefore, if the New Army of the Tang Dynasty were to launch military operations now, it would inevitably have the First Infantry Regiment as the core and the Second Infantry Regiment as the auxiliary. The remaining two infantry regiments would be unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
After introducing the basic situation of the army, Zeng Ziwen started to discuss the follow-up strategic issues. They needed a direction to march in!
"Xingquan Prefecture is located at the junction of the three provinces of Guizhou, Huguang and Guangxi. To the west and north is Liping Prefecture of Guizhou, to the south and southeast is Liuzhou Prefecture of Guangxi, and to the east is Jingzhou of Huguang.
The direction of our army's subsequent march will also be chosen from these three places!
But where should we march? To Liping Prefecture, Liuzhou Prefecture, or Jingzhou?
