Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

"922 of Zhu Yaoxiang's troops were killed in the city, 556 were captured, and 1481 Daxin XI-type guns and 12 box guns were seized."

Hearing the casualties of the battle outside the city, Franciscan couldn't help but frown.

With advanced weapons and artillery advantages, he was very sad to see more than 300 people killed in the battle.

Fang Jian ordered: "Collect the bodies of the soldiers. The troops will rest today. Tomorrow, the Second Division will advance northward. After conquering Nanfeng, we will build defensive fortifications on the spot."

"Yes, Commander." Hearing that the task of attacking Nanfeng would be given to him, Zhang Wei stood up excitedly and responded.

Then, Fang Jian glanced at the others and said, "The Guard Division and the First Division will temporarily stay in Qingshan City and wait for the next move of the cavalry."

After the other officers left, Wang Hu came forward and reported, "Commander, Zhu Shenghui wants to see you."

"Didn't Zhu Shenghui evacuate with Zhu Yaoxiang?" Fang Jian asked in surprise.

Seeing Wang Hu shaking his head, Fang Jian ordered, "Bring him in."

Soon, Wang Hu brought Zhu Shenghui in. When he saw Fang Jian, Zhu Shenghui no longer had his previous demeanor. Because of his throat injury, his voice was very hoarse.

"Commander Fang, my mother and I stayed in the city, hoping to live a stable life in the city."

Fang Jian naturally had no objection to this: "It is naturally no problem for you to live in the city, but we will count Zhu Yaoxiang's money and leave you a small force, and most of it will be confiscated."

"Of course, the mansion you are staying in now is no longer habitable. I will have someone arrange new accommodation for you."

Zhu Shenghui could understand Fang Jian's confiscation of money. He nodded and said, "Okay, Commander Fang doesn't need to arrange accommodation. Our family has several properties in the city."

Without exchanging pleasantries with Zhu Shenghui for long, he asked Wang Hu to send him out.

After leaving the headquarters, Zhu Shenghui let out a long sigh. This time he came to see Fang Jianan to determine the other party's attitude.

Fang Jian drove his father out of Qingshan, so there was no guarantee that he would not do something to me. Fortunately, judging from his attitude, he should not make things difficult for me.

In the afternoon, after Fang Guoxuan finished counting the money in the city, he reported: "Commander, the property of the government treasury and Zhu Yaoxiang has been counted."

"The treasury has a total of 814 silver dollars, 4125 large yellow croakers, small yellow croakers, and some rice, flour and other food."

"From Zhu Yaoxiang's residence, we found 107 million silver dollars, 2413 large yellow croakers, small yellow croakers, and a number of antique calligraphy and paintings."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Jian ordered: "Guoxuan, arrange 300 trucks to transport the gold and silver and the captured prisoners to Xinyuan."

"As for the seriously injured, send them all to Fenglin City and send more soldiers to escort them."

Before this war, Fang Jian moved the temporary hospital in Xing County to Fenglin, and the wounded had to be sent to Fenglin.

After the arsenal and the prisoners were moved to Xinyuan, the Second Division and the Third Regiment sent a battalion to Xinyuan County. Together with the hundreds of militiamen and policemen in Xinyuan County, it was enough to ensure the safety of Xinyuan.

"Yes." Fang Guoxuan replied and went to make arrangements.

At present, there are enough points. Fang Jian has no plan to exchange gold and silver for points. He plans to save some gold and silver to pay the soldiers.

Fang Jian felt more at ease after putting the gold and silver in the relatively safe Xinyuan County.

In the first few months, the soldiers' salaries were supported by arms trade. After that, there was no arms trade for a period of time, and they had to pay for the army out of their own pockets.

The current tax revenues from Fenglin and Changhuan are barely enough to pay the troops.

But the two cities still have many staff members, government expenses, food for the troops, etc. When all these are taken into account, there are still many areas where expenses need to be spent.

Moreover, after expanding the territory, it will be necessary to recruit and reorganize troops, which will cost more.

Fang Jian communicated with the system and said, "System, convert all 2358 old sleeves, 8162 Daxin XI-style guns, and 57 box guns into points."

This time, most of the Daxin Type 11 rifles seized from Zhu Yaoxiang’s troops were sold to him by Fang Jian.

"Ding, you can redeem points in total, do you want to redeem?"

"exchange."

"Ding, the exchange is successful. The material recovery team will arrive in one day."

After exchanging this batch of supplies for points, the points reached more than 600,000. After the Battle of Nanshan, Fang Jian would be able to devote himself to construction.

Factories producing various types of artillery and shells can be built in Nanshan. The raw materials can be exchanged from the system, which is cheaper than exchanging finished products from the system.

After lunch, Fang Jian took Wang Hu and Wei Hanzhou on a tour of Qingshan City.

Looking at the desolate scene in the city, most of the pedestrians were skinny and many were in rags. Fang Jian couldn't help but sigh: "When war breaks out, the people are the ones who suffer."

Although there was no fierce fighting in the city when they captured Qingshan.

But since the Juma War three months ago, the people of Qingshan City have not had peace. Although the war has stopped for the past three months, Qingshan is still under martial law, making the people's lives even more difficult.

Fang Jian ordered, "Wang Hu, tell Fang Guoxuan to count the people in the city and give food to those who don't have it as soon as possible. Don't let them starve to death."

"Yes, Commander." After receiving the order, Wang Hu went to inform Fang Guoxuan.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have captured a new county town and received a German-equipped company as a reward."

……

After a tour, I just returned to the headquarters and seven voices appeared in my head in succession. Seven counties were captured and the system rewarded seven German-equipped companies. Together with the company in Wen County, there are still eight companies to be claimed.

Afterwards, the system's voice appeared in my mind again: "Ding, congratulations to the host, a new city has been captured, and a German-equipped infantry battalion is awarded."

Like Changhuan, Qingshan had nine counties, while Fenglin had only seven.

After receiving the reward, Fang Jian couldn't wait to say, "System, summon all eight German-equipped companies and one German-equipped battalion."

"Ding, the troops are being deployed and will arrive in four hours."

At present, the Guard Division has only a little over 9,000 people. After adding the 2,500 newly rewarded people, it only reaches more than 11,600 people, which is 2,000 to 3,000 less than the other two regiments.

These two thousand people were added to the 1st Guard Division, just enough to form the division's direct-affiliated troops.

After asking Fang Guoxuan to handle the troops rewarded by the system, Fang Jian no longer cared about the matter. That afternoon, Fang Guoxuan took over the troops and reorganized them.

What made Francis Jian speechless was that even in the donated battalion, there was no officer with three stars.

On the second day, at seven o'clock in the morning, the Second Division set out with ten trucks loaded with artillery and marched towards Nanfeng City.

Watching the Second Division go away, Fang Jian felt a little uneasy.

I have already made my move, but I don't know how Ma Jincen will respond.

As long as the enemy does not immediately concentrate all its troops to attack you, you will not be afraid.

In the morning, under the arrangement of Fang Guoxuan, Li Defu transported away the seized old weapons.

The 3rd Regiment of the Guard Division began to return from various counties, and the Guard Division and the 1st Division were ready to set off at any time.
