Chapter 530: The army gathers and prepares to start

The Grand Governor's Office was newly built, on the north side of Fushan City, in the original location of Zhaojiatun. The Grand Governor's Office has a relatively ordinary appearance, just a row of military camps. Apart from its large scale, it is not much different from ordinary military camps. Only careful people will find that the number of sentries outside this military camp is much more than that of ordinary military camps, and the inspection of entry and exit is much stricter. The Grand Governor's Office is surrounded by flat fields and there are no obstacles, which can effectively prevent the assassin from approaching.

The commercial trade in Fushan City is becoming more and more prosperous now. The original military camps, stables, warehouses, ordnance bureaus and other buildings have long been used as commercial land. The original city walls have long been demolished and are preparing to expand the new city walls. However, this money was saved later. Because Zhang Zhun felt that with the continuous development of artillery technology, the city walls could no longer stop the attack of artillery. To protect the safety of the city, the key is the strength of the army.

As long as the Hu Ben Army is strong enough, Fushan City does not need a city wall at all and can expand around at will. Therefore, the area of ​​Fushan City continues to expand, and now it has expanded to the vicinity of Houbeitun. This city without city walls has more and more populations and buildings, full of vitality and prosperity.

After Zhang Zhun was appointed as the Grand Governor's Office of the Later Army, the Hu Ben Army built this Grand Governor's Office. The initial consideration was to be quiet, convenient transportation, and safe. Therefore, the address was chosen to be in the open space near Zhaojiatun. From then on, this was the highest military command body of the Hu Ben Army, and most people called it the General Administration of the Hu Ben Army.

Speaking of which, Zhang Zhun's position is really interesting. The court has a very good skill in playing with writing. The Five Army Governor's Office only has "Left Governor" and "Right Governor". They are both first-rank officials, but they do not have the title of "Grand Governor". For example, Qin Liangyu is the left Governor. Qi Jiguang was originally the right Governor, but later promoted to the left Governor. Another very famous general officer, Ma Gui, was the right Governor.

No one knows what rank the "Grand Governor" is. The left and right governors are both first-rank, and the status of the left governor is higher than that of the right governor. How should the Grand Governor, the left governor, and the right governor be sorted? No one understands it. Liu Rushi speculated that the court did not want to confirm Zhang Zhun's title and prepare for his future remorse. Zhang Zhunze simply pretended not to know. Anyway, the Grand Governor is also the governor, so don't use bean bags as dry food. Who dares to say that the Grand Governor is not the governor?

When Zhang Zhun returned to the Governor's Office, the entire Governor's Office was quiet, and there was no one else except the sentries at the door. The Governor's Office now has not yet been fully equipped and looks naturally very deserted. Zhang Zhun entered the room and saw Ye Longxin, the staff on duty, who was busy, and asked, "Have Yang Zhiyuan arrived?"

Ye Longxin hurriedly stood at attention and replied: "Not yet."

Zhang Zhun nodded, flipped through the official documents for the past two days, and walked back and forth in the hall. The question he was thinking about was of course about the Winking Sect. Since Xu Qingluan rejected his friendly proposal, it means that the Winking Sect must be solved by force. He was preparing to hand over this task to Yang Zhiyuan to complete. Two days ago, he sent someone to notify Yang Zhiyuan. Now that Yang Zhiyuan has not arrived yet, could he have encountered some accident on the way?

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted: "Yang Qiufeng."

Another staff officer hurried over to the room next to him, came to Zhang Zhun, stood attentively and replied: "Come on! What are the instructions for sir?"

Zhang Zhun said casually: "How is your plan going?"

The staff officer named Yang Qiufeng hurriedly replied: "Sir, except for the logistics, everything else has been done. Do you want to check it out for you now?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Okay! Come on!"

Yang Qiufeng turned around and went.

After establishing the Governor's Office, Zhang Zhun equipped himself with staff officers in accordance with the model of later generations to be responsible for specific military plans. Ye Longxin and Yang Qiufeng were both students of the former Naval Officer School. Both of them went to private schools when they were young, and their educational level was relatively high. They could basically understand written documents such as evil copying, memorials, edicts, and official documents. This was very remarkable at that time. It happened that the two were more interested in the role of staff officers, so Zhang Zhun transferred them to them and often gave guidance. Under Zhang Zhun's vigorous training, the two were slowly becoming professional staff officers.

Generally speaking, as long as it is not a particularly big war, as long as Zhang Zhun explains the elements clearly, they can draw up a preliminary action plan. Of course, in this day, only professional staff members such as those who provide advice can only understand. Although they have learned a lot from Zhang Zhun, they are still half a bucket of water. It is impossible to formulate a very detailed plan. This is the case, and Zhang Zhun can save a lot of his skills.

Yang Qiufeng quickly brought the plan over.

The main content of the plan is to wipe out the Wenxiang Sect. According to Zhang Zhun's intention, the Hu Ben Army will dispatch six battalions of troops to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Hu Ben Army. At present, the Wenxiang Sect mainly hides in Laiyang and Qixia counties, completely surrounded by the Hu Ben Army. Even if it is to cut leeks, it must be cut off all the visible leeks first. As for how to slowly dig deep into the roots of the leeks, that is the future.

After seeing it, Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Okay! Good work! Worthy praise!"

Ye Longxin and Yang Qiufeng were both very happy.

What they need most now is Zhang Zhun's affirmation and encouragement. No one has ever done a professional adviser before. Both of them don't know whether they can do it well. When they work, they always feel uneasy and heart-wrenching. Zhang Zhun is very clear about this, so he never stings with his praise. Their self-confidence continues to increase, and they become more enthusiastic and active in the staff work.

Brigadier General Zhang put down his plan and said slowly: "However, there are still some small shortcomings. For example, the contact codes between the troops, the contact information, the establishment of the second warehouse, the setting of the prisoner camp, must be clearly stipulated and arranged in a unified manner."

Ye Longxin whispered: "Sir, aren't these left to the frontline commanders? We don't know where the prisoner camp should be set up?"

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "No, the Governor's Office must clearly stipulate these details. Frontline commanders are handling emergencies on the spot. We must deal with the troops' coordination, contact signals, etc. Otherwise, if an accident occurs on the frontline, the troops will be in chaos."

"As for the prisoner camp, it is not the prisoner camp of each unit, but the prisoner camp of all units. When the battle is over, each unit will send the prisoners to the designated location and be screened and dealt with by special personnel. Therefore, special people must be designated to deal with the prisoners."

Ye Longxin asked curiously: "Then...who will be responsible for handling the prisoners?"

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Our Hu Ben Army Governor's Office has not yet set up a special prisoner handling agency. The prisoners are temporarily handed over to the Renzi Battalion stationed in Gaomi for supervision. After the battle is over, the prisoners are concentrated in Gaomi. You draft a plan to set up the prisoner camp. You need to find a suitable place to be responsible for detention and identification of prisoners."

Yang Qiufeng then began to change the combat plan. Ye Longxin began to think about where to set up a prisoner camp. Zhang Zhun himself was thinking about what else to improve the plan. For a moment, the Governor's Office fell into a dead silence again.

"Governor General, Yang Zhiyuan reported to you!"

Suddenly, Yang Zhiyuan's slightly tired voice came from outside.

"Come in!"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

Soon, Yang Zhiyuan came in sweating profusely. Ye Longxin hurriedly poured water for him. Yang Zhiyuan took the water cup and drank it rumbled. It can be seen that he was really exhausted and covered in dust on his body. The journey from Dasongwei to Fushan City is really not easy to walk. If he had enough funds and technology, Zhang Zhun really wanted to turn all the roads of this era into highways in later generations. Nowadays, it is really not easy to walk a little far away.

Zhang Zhun waited for Yang Zhiyuan to finish drinking water and reached out to let him sit down before asking with a smile, "It took two days to arrive, something happened on the road?"

Yang Zhiyuan wiped the water stains on his mouth, straightened his body, straightened his waist, and said with a cheerful spirit: "Sir, I went to Haiyang Institute and received an order to come directly from Haiyang Institute. There were people from the Scented Sect trying to incite the military households to make trouble, but I suppressed them and killed several backbones of the Scented Sect. Unfortunately, I did not catch the envoy behind the Scented Sect and let them run away."

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but frowned, and a cold smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, saying meaningfully: "Wenxiang Sect takes the initiative to make trouble, it seems that he is unwilling to submit!"

Yang Zhiyuan said bluntly: "Sir, I think Wenxiang Sect still needs to be resolved by force. If they refuse to surrender, they will kill them all. I don't believe it. If we control Laiyang and Qixia, and then implement the Juntian Order, they can still stay there."

Zhang Zhun nodded quietly and said slowly: "I came to you for this matter. You should first check the action plan. Qiu Feng will show you the plan to Commander Yang."

Yang Qiufeng agreed and brought the plan to Yang Zhiyuan. After Yang Zhiyuan looked at it, he was very interested. He didn't recognize many words and couldn't understand it by reading alone. He had to ask while reading. Yang Qiufeng whispered to the side.

"Report!"

Suddenly, Yang Zixuan's voice came from outside again.

"Come in!"

Zhang Zhun said immediately.

Soon, Yang Zixuan came in with great strides.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Zhang Zhun looked at Yang Zixuan's sweaty look and nodded.

The Dingzi Camp led by Yang Zixuan is stationed in Wendeng, and the distance is the farthest from Fushan City. Even if it is riding a horse, it will take two days. He was naturally quite tired when he arrived here from Wendeng. However, after coming to the Governor's Mansion, Yang Zixuan cheered up again. He could even think of Zhang Zhun's order to arrive at this time, and there must be a war to participate.

"Sir, are you going to attack the Scented Sect?"

Yang Zixuan said impatiently without caring about his fatigue.

"You can see the plan first."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile.

Yang Zixuan immediately went to the side.

After a while, someone called for a report, but Yang Qianqiang came.

After the war in Huangxian, the Keng camp led by Yang Qianqiang moved to Xiongya Temple to rest and rest, not far from Fushan City. The road between Aoshan City and Fushan City was repaired and was very flat. You can come from Xiongya Temple to Fushan City in one morning. Therefore, Yang Qianqiang seemed to be lively. After asking about the situation, he immediately came to the side to understand the plan.

Not long after, Yang Hongwen, Zou Mingjia and Peng Bo also arrived one after another. The three of them were stationed in Zhaoyuan. After receiving the order, they naturally came together. Zhaoyuan was also far away from Fushan City. However, the roads in Laizhou Prefecture were specially repaired, and the horse riding speed was still very fast. At least it was much faster than Yang Zixuan's arrival from Wendeng.

After the three of them arrived, the Governor's Office immediately became lively. Yang Qiufeng had to talk to the latecomers in detail about the general situation of the plan. In fact, he would definitely explain the combat plan formally in a while, but the battalion commanders were a little impatient.

After Zou Mingjia and others arrived, they were also eager to ask whether they wanted to attack the Scent of Scent of Incense. In fact, they had already realized that sooner or later, Zhang Zhun would use force against the Scent of Incense. Because in the deployment of troops, Zhang Zhun obviously surrounded the Scent of Incense. It was only a matter of time to take action. After seeing the plan, the six people had no doubts at all.

Zhang Zhun looked at Ye Longxin with praise. These battalion commanders were all in charge of informing him. He did a good job and all battalion commanders arrived on time. No one was particularly early, and no one was particularly late. Time was originally the most basic skill of the staff. Every staff member must have a very strong concept of time.

"Come here!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived and had almost rested, Zhang Zhun waved and took everyone to the war room next to him. The show was about to begin.

The construction of the Grand Governor's Office was carried out completely according to Zhang Zhun's intention. The house does not need to be luxurious, it only needs to be clean, tidy and bright. Professional war rooms, staff rooms, and intelligence rooms are essential. In addition, there are special libraries, information rooms and other institutions. Each department must have its own professional location. For example, in this war room, there are very complete military maps for reference.

After entering the war room, Yang Zhiyuan and six others sat down in a manner to listen. Ye Longxin and Yang Qiufeng stood beside Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun waved his hand, and Yang Qiufeng explained the combat plan in detail. Although they had learned about the content of the plan just now, they still had to listen carefully.

After Yang Qiufeng introduced the plan, Zhang Zhun said straight to the point: "Originally, the matter of the Smelling Incense Sect can be put aside and strive for a better solution. However, now the situation has changed, and the Tartars may launch a third invasion at the end of the year. Therefore, the matter of the Smelling Incense Sect can no longer be delayed."

The six people were slightly shocked, then looked at each other, a little surprised and angry. The Tartars had just invaded in July last year and stole a large amount of population and supplies. Unexpectedly, just one year later, they were about to invade again. They really regarded the Ming Kingdom as their back garden, come whenever they want, and leave whenever they want? It was simply a great humiliation of the Ming Kingdom!

If the invasion of the Tartars this time cannot be successfully curbed, the stolen population and materials will become the support of the Tartars. Moreover, the invasion of the Tartars this time was carried out after they suffered significant losses. Therefore, the Tartars will definitely be more rampant. They must plunder more population and materials to make up for their losses. In other words, the damage that the Ming Dynasty will have to bear this time will be greater.

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "We killed many Tartars in Huang County and surrounded two slave chiefs in Dengzhou City. The Tartars had a lot of opinions about us. This time the invasion was for us. I guess the Tartars might bypass the Great Wall and go south, directly into Shandong, and fight against us."

Yang Qianqiang snorted quietly in his nostrils, humming out everyone's contempt for the Tartars. Everyone here did not have any fear of the Tartars. Since the Battle of Huangxian, the Hu Ben Army has not had much interest in other opponents, such as the Scent of Incense, the Ming Army, and the like. It was just because of the need for development that they had to attack them. The only thing the Hu Ben Army wanted to deal with was the Tartars. Now, the Tartars are here again, which is really gratifying... Well, for the people in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, this is a complete disaster.

Zhang Zhun glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We must free up more troops to deal with the attacks of the Tartars. Therefore, we must thoroughly and thoroughly smell the incense sect before the arrival of the Tartars. However, Xu Qingluan, who smelled the incense sect, rejected me."

Zou Mingjia frowned and said, "There is only a fight."

Peng Bo clenched his fists and shouted, "Sir, we are all ready and ready. As long as you give us your order, we will go to Laiyang."

Yang Hongwen also said loudly: "If you don't want toast, you will punish you. Since the Smelling Sect is looking for death, we will fulfill his wish!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "Yes, it must be fought! It must be resolved as soon as possible! You have read the plan just now and listened to the detailed explanation. You should have a general understanding of the war. If you think there is something wrong with the plan, please propose it as soon as possible."

After a slight pause, Zhang Zhun said: "I will not visit the front line in this operation. I appoint Yang Zhiyuan as the front line commander to be responsible for on-the-air handling."

Yang Zhiyuan hurriedly stood up and said sternly: "Finish the task resolutely!"

Zhang Zhun nodded, his eyes fell on Yang Zhiyuan, and he slowly said: "You have already understood the plan just now. Let me tell you what you think first."

Yang Zhiyuan said loudly: "I think the plan is fine. Qixia and Laiyang counties have always been surrounded by us. There is no foreign aid, and it is impossible to escape on a large scale. The local backbone of the Winter Storm is said to have about 30,000 to 40,000 people, but in fact, there may be less than 10,000 people who can really fight. In general, Wang Yilun's military strength may be stronger, and Xu Qingluan's military strength may be weaker. The weapons and equipment of the Winter Storm and its training level are not very good."

After pausing slightly, Yang Zhiyuan continued: "My opinion is similar to the plan. I will first attack Laiyang and eliminate Wang Yilun's main force. Then force all the scented scholars to Qixia and encircle them. This will shorten the time for scented the scented scholar as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhun nodded, looked at the others, and said slowly: "Do you have any supplements?"

Yang Zixuan said tentatively: "Sir, we have enough troops. Can we take a two-pronged approach and attack Laiyang and Qixia at the same time? This will shorten more time."

Zou Mingjia frowned and said, "I don't agree with two-pronged approach. We have a lot of troops. If the Scent Swordsman collided with us head-on, they are indeed not our opponents. However, if the Scent Swordsman finds loopholes to escape, our troops will not be able to encircle them. The adults mean that they should eliminate as many backbones of the Scent Swordsman as possible, so as not to harm the area in the future. If they let them escape, they will fight again in the future."

Yang Hongwen nodded and said, "I agree with Zou Mingjia's opinion. We want to exterminate the incense sect and let them disappear completely, rather than breaking them up, and there is still a chance to make a comeback in the future."

Others also agreed with Zou Mingjia's opinion.

Zou Mingjia wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "What do you want to say?"

Zou Mingjia said slowly: "I think that after we defeated Wang Yilun, Xu Qingluan was desperate and might still have the possibility of fighting for it."

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Tell me your reasons."

Zou Mingjia said, "Now there are two territorys of the Winter Storm, one is Laiyang and the other is Qixia. If we take down Laiyang and eliminate Wang Yilun, the remaining Winter Storm scholars will only escape to Qixia. Once Xu Qingluan and the remaining members of the Winter Storm are surrounded by us in Qixia, they have no way out. When they are desperate, Xu Qingluan may consider surrendering. The key is that we must kill Wang Yilun, otherwise Xu Qingluan may be controlled by Wang Yilun."

Yang Zixuan said with some concern: "What if the two of them work together?"

Zou Mingjia nodded and said, "So, in the first stage of the battle, we must destroy Wang Yilun so that he will not have the chance to escape from Laiyang."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "If Xu Qingluan can fight for it, it will be the best. We don't need to cut leeks in the future. However, if we can't fight for it, we should not be ruthless. I hope that the big battle can be ended in one month."

Jerry Yang measured for a moment and said affirmatively: "No problem."

Zhang Zhun glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Do you have any problems?"
Chapter completed!
