Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

The dwarf locust suffered setbacks one after another in the new country. His mission was to stabilize the Nanshan government and wait for more reinforcements to be sent from the country, as well as to transport weapons and supplies.

If Yamauchi Hiroo and others destroy it, I won't know where to cry.

The Dwarf Locusts do not have a military advantage in the New Kingdom. If they rashly start a war, the New Kingdom will send reinforcements continuously, and the fastest place can arrive in a few days.

On the other hand, even if the small locust country prepares the supplies, it will take one to two weeks to cross the ocean.

Not to mention the resources required to transport so much manpower and material resources.

Seeing Toyotomi Fumitori's timid look, Yamauchi Hiroo curled his lips in disdain and didn't say anything more.

On the evening of the second day, Toyotomi Fumitsugu led a small team of guards and the diplomatic delegation to Anmi County.

Because it was an official delegation sent by the Little Locust, Toyotomi Fumiyasu and his entourage included not only the chief and deputy envoys, but also many other personnel including accompanying councilors, secretaries, translators, etc., totaling thirty or forty people.

It was already late, and Toyotomi Fumiya did not go to see Zhang Wei immediately. Instead, he, led by an officer of the Nanshan Army, went to rest in the room arranged for the little locust.

Early in the morning of May 5, after breakfast, the officer who had received Toyotomi Fumitori yesterday came to their residence.

"Mr. Toyotomi, how did you sleep last night?"

Fengchen Fumitoru pulled the officer aside and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. What is your name, General?"

"I'm Ren Hanliang."

Fengchen Wenrong talked to Ren Hanliang for a while and found out that he was a colonel in the Nanshan Army. Of course, this colonel was a position colonel, not an official military rank.

"Colonel Ren, when will the peace talks begin?"

Ren Hanliang patted his head and said, "I almost forgot. The negotiations are scheduled to start at 10 a.m. After you have breakfast and rest, I will take you to the negotiation site."

"Okay, thank you, Colonel Ren."

Afterwards, Toyotomi Fumiya pulled Ren Hanliang aside to chat for a while. Although Ren Hanliang was annoyed, there was nothing he could do as his job was to receive this group of dwarf locusts, so he could only endure it.

At around nine o'clock, under the leadership of Ren Hanliang, Toyotomi Fumitori and others came to the meeting room for peace talks.

The place chosen was a restaurant in Anmi County, which had been booked by the Nanshan Army for the past few days and was used specifically for peace talks.

After Toyotomi Fuminori and others arrived, there were no new people in the meeting hall on the second floor except the guards, which made the people who accompanied them a little unhappy.

But with the comfort of Toyotomi Fuminari, everyone finally endured it.

It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that Zhang Wei entered the conference room with several officers.

Compared with the people brought by Zhang Wei, the dwarf locust's side was much more formal.

Seeing Zhang Wei and others enter the meeting hall, Fengchen Wenrong was a little surprised: "Colonel Ren, who are they?"

"This is Zhang Wei, Commander Zhang, and the person in charge of this peace talk." Ren Hanliang immediately introduced both parties.

"Who is in charge of the peace talks?"

Ren Hanliang's words were difficult for everyone to accept. It was not because of anything else, but because they acted so formally. There were only five or six soldiers from the New Country participating. It was too casual.

Holding back his temper, Fengchen Wenrong came to Zhang Wei and stretched out his right hand: "I am Fengchen Wenrong, and I am the peace envoy of the Little Locust Country."

"Zhang Wei." Zhang Wei stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the other party, and then both parties sat down.

Fengchen Fumiong frowned and said, "General Zhang, I wonder if you can make the decision on this peace talk?"

The other party was just a division commander. Judging from the rank on his shoulder straps, he was only a lieutenant general, which made Toyotomi Fuminori worried.

It seems like they are here to deal with them rather than to negotiate.

"Of course, I am under the chairman's order to be fully responsible for this negotiation. Moreover, Qi Yuan's troops are now under my command, so I can make the decision."

Zhang Wei didn't want to say that either, but there was no other way. His official position was only deputy army commander. If he told the truth, the peace talks would probably fall apart immediately, and how could he complete the task assigned by Fang Jian?

Upon hearing that Qi Yuan's troops were temporarily under the command of the other side, Toyotomi Fumiyo looked at Zhang Wei in surprise.

Although he didn't quite believe it, Toyotomi Fuminori did not question it. He also didn't want to fall out with the other party right now. As long as the stability of the front line could be guaranteed, it doesn't matter who comes to talk.

Afterwards, both sides introduced their respective entourages to each other. On the side of the dwarf locust, except for Toyotomi Fuminori and the deputy envoy Matsuka Hisai who were both major generals, the ranks of the others were not high.

"Since you want to negotiate, what conditions can you agree to?"

The first day of negotiations was not smooth, as the expectations of both sides were completely different. The Nanshan government wanted the dwarf locusts to withdraw from the new country, while the dwarf locusts wanted the Nanshan army to withdraw from Qiyuan.

The peace talks remained deadlocked for three days without any results.

Kaiyuan City, Heyuan Province.

As new recruits selected from all over the country arrived here, the ten divisions of the First Military Region were quickly filled and began to be integrated and trained.

At the headquarters in Kaiyuan City, Fang Guoxuan, Shao Yunsheng, Yang Pingchang and other headquarters officers, as well as ten division commanders gathered together.

Some chiefs of staff and political commissars were also present. Not every division's chief of staff and political commissar had been filled, and there were still some vacancies, so the number of attendees was not complete.

After the Wang Hui incident, Fang Jian strictly established the three powers of military commander, chief of staff and political commissar in the reorganized First Military Region.

The military chief is responsible for commanding the battle, assisted by staff and political commissars. Naturally, military opinions are the main focus in matters of war.

If it involves troop mobilization, deployment, etc., it must be restrained by three people before it can be carried out.

Glancing at the officers present, Fang Guoxuan said, "All units need to quickly integrate. The commander has told us that we must complete our training by the end of the month and march to the Qiyuan border to complete the rotation with the Second Theater Command."

Everyone knew what to do after the change of guard, and naturally the second military region was to be established.

Now that the First Military Region has been established, the original division commanders have all been promoted.

Mu Junwen, former commander of the Second Division, was promoted to director of the Military Law Department, with the rank of Lieutenant General. Duan Pingliang, former commander of the Third Division, was promoted to director of the Logistics Department, with the rank of Lieutenant General.

As for the former commander of the First Division, Han Shaorong, he was also promoted to Chief of Staff of the Second Military Region.

Mu Junben was originally a staff officer, so there was no problem for him to be the chief of staff. The reason why his official position was announced in advance was because the original position was vacant after the split of the troops, and the announcement was made in advance to reassure him.

After all, without the official rank of major general, his official military rank was only major.

The remaining officers, the original regimental commanders were promoted to division commanders, and the battalion commanders were promoted to regimental commanders. Some of the regimental chiefs of staff stayed in the First Military Region and served as division chiefs of staff or political commissars, while the rest were transferred to other military regions.

After the establishment of each military region, officers, chiefs of staff, political commissars, etc. from each department will need to be transferred to each other every once in a while.

On the one hand, it is to avoid the emergence of military leaders, and on the other hand, it is to avoid corruption within the military.

"Commander, some of the logistical supplies that need to be allocated have not yet been delivered." Duan Pingliang, director of the Logistics Department, said.

The director of the ordnance department also introduced: "Commander, the rifles equipped by the troops have all arrived, but there are still some shortages of general-purpose machine guns and submachine guns."

"The artillery and trucks needed by the divisions are in great short supply."

"..."

Each department reported some problems, and Fang Guoxuan summarized them one by one. He would solve those that could be solved by himself, and those that could not be solved would have to be reported to Fang Jian'an.
