I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

Faced with the possible attack of the Salvation Army at any time, many landlords in the countryside could not sell many of their properties.

They would also temporarily give up fixed assets such as land and houses, and first carry gold, silver, materials, and family members into county towns and provincial capitals.

After all, the Salvation Army seemed only interested in the countryside and would not attack the county town.

Naturally, they had to find a way to enter the county town and the provincial capital.

With the addition of such a large number of landlords carrying large amounts of gold, silver and other materials, the capital and county towns of Liang Prefecture instantly became prosperous and lively.

For a moment, the magistrates of various counties and the prefects of Lintao and Gongchang were happy, angry and terrified.

Happy the county town and the provincial capital have become more prosperous, so they can naturally make more money, and it is also a rare political achievement.

After all, they did not have professional talents, and they just carried out simple shaping based on the rough terrain map.

They only cared about fighting and didn't care about the arrangements for the prisoners.

How many usable soldiers have you included in it?"

They knew that many of the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers at Shouyang Pass were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Wang Shi said hesitantly.

In particular, border troops were mobilized to encircle and suppress the rebellion.

Lintao Prefecture was fine, as they had previously planned to wipe out the Salvation Army, but it was not carried out because of the ascension of the new emperor.

When the time comes, we will capture them all."

In every battle, you must be extremely alert, because any mistake may lead to the ultimate defeat and the death of a large number of soldiers.

By then, the prestige that the dynasty had worked so hard to establish, the agricultural cooperative organizations, etc., would inevitably suffer a devastating blow, which he naturally could not tolerate.

However, even if they wanted to, they could not send troops immediately.

In the future, after we have trained qualified talents, we can naturally create a more complete sand table.

"of course not.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dahu and others' eyes lit up.

Even Wang Dahu and others, who were originally very excited, became serious at this moment.

"We must fight.

Therefore, it will take some time to mobilize troops, military equipment and supplies, etc.

After listening to Wang Chao's words, Li Yu immediately smiled and said:

Wang Sanshun's expression changed slightly, and then he said:

"If we follow the standards of our rescue army, apart from Shen Changquan's 200 personal soldiers, there are less than 500 soldiers available. The rest are all old, weak, sick and disabled and are not worth using at all."

I just want to remind you not to get carried away.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

We just need to consider how to fight.”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

Wang Chao couldn't help but look serious, and said in a deep voice:

"Except for the more than 1,000 soldiers at Shouyang Pass, are the other troops we encountered any different from peasants?

Moreover, among the more than one thousand officers and soldiers in Shouyang Pass, how many of them are real soldiers?

Apart from Shen Changquan's two hundred personal soldiers, the rest were just some old, weak, sick and disabled people.

Therefore, Wang Dahu and others were somewhat surprised when they heard that there were only less than 500 available soldiers out of the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in Shouyang Pass.

Only Wang Sanshun, who was in charge of the selection, and instructors Wu Ping and Chen Ying, and Wang Chao knew the answer.

They immediately began to mobilize troops and generals, intending to completely wipe out the group of bandits and rioters entrenched in the two prefectures.

Although the possibility that Wang Chao said was extremely small, Wang Dahu and others had to admit that it was indeed possible.

"This"

Because they have already contacted the prefect of Gongchang Prefecture.

Before sending out troops, all kinds of food, supplies, weapons, armor, etc. need to be prepared.

Today's Salvation Army, after annihilating more than a thousand officers and soldiers, can no longer be treated as ordinary bandits.

As for why they are not clear about the specific situation.

Wang Chao stood up, picked up a long wooden stick, pointed at the rough map sand table, and explained to everyone.

"Haha, I don't think the soldiers are that bad, they were beaten to a pulp by us.

If they want to come, then let them come.

"leader!"

At this time, they did not care whether mobilizing troops when Tianqi passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne would displease the new emperor Chongzhen.

Are they finally going to capture the city?

When he finished speaking, Wang Chao looked at Wang Sanshun.

Can they really attack so many places suddenly and occupy such a large base?

"Why think so much? If the leader tells us to fight, then we will fight."

They had already agreed on a date, and on October 20th, they would send out troops together to suppress and destroy the Salvation Army.

Well, I feel a little bit drifting.

On the other hand, Wang Erniu, who was usually taciturn and even unwilling to join the others in becoming a bandit at first, spoke indifferently at this moment.

Now, they no longer cared whether it would cause Chongzhen's displeasure or not, and they just wanted to suppress this group of bandits and rioters first.

However, facing the border troops who have been fighting for years, they really have no idea what to do.

"I called you here this time to prepare for the encirclement and suppression by soldiers who may arrive at any time."

However, Gongchang Prefecture had not made any prior preparations.

Wang Sanshun's words immediately made Wang Dahu and others, who were smiling, gradually stop smiling, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Of course, most of the time, these soldiers are used as cannon fodder.

They couldn't just let the soldiers wreak havoc while they just hid everywhere.

"What does the leader mean?"

But at the same time, they also became more relaxed.

“That’s impossible.”

Although the others didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces were somewhat relaxed.

It is indeed basically impossible to mobilize the whole country's strength to attack them now.

Besides, there are only a few of us.

This time, there were some soldiers who became a little carried away. Only a few dozen of them dared to attack a team of hundreds of officers and soldiers.

If you really compare them, they are not much better than the farmers who grow crops on the land.

Then other places must be even worse. Wouldn't it be easier for them to deal with them?

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Wang Chao said in a deep voice:

"The leader means

We avoid the direct encirclement of the officers and soldiers?"

Therefore, he had no choice but to destroy that group of officers and soldiers, even if it would attract the attention of the Ming court.

If their case was reported to the imperial court, they would be dismissed from their official positions, which was naturally unacceptable to them.

If the leader says so, then we can definitely conquer these places."

"Chief, do you mean that we should take over Lintao Prefecture and Gongchang Prefecture?"

Wang Chao nodded, and then said:

"Not only the capitals of Lintao and Gongchang, but also the county towns of several nearby counties were taken in one fell swoop.

Hezhou in Lintao Prefecture, Anlong Pass and Tumen Pass in the west, and Jiehe Pass in the north should also be brought under control.

The counties of Longxi, Anding, Ningyuan, Fuqiang, and Tongwei in Gongchang Prefecture should also be under their control.

In this way, we can form a rough defense circle to resist attacks from all around."

Of course, with their current capabilities and technology, the sand table they made is somewhat abstract.

Indeed, they had only defeated some old, weak, sick and disabled people, and there was really nothing to be proud of.

But no matter what, they will indeed be absorbed by various armies.

"Ok!"

“These armies in the interior of the Ming Dynasty are somewhat corrupt, but do you think the border troops that have been fighting against the Mongols outside the Great Wall and the Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars for many years are also so incompetent?

The People's Salvation Army is different from the current world's army.

Nowadays, most of the armies in the world, especially those of different forces in the same country, will even select some combat-capable soldiers from the enemy after capturing them and break them up and incorporate them into their own army.

"You see, we have now roughly occupied Weiyuan County, Zhang County, and the villages near Shouyang Pass, which is almost equivalent to surrounding Gongchang Prefecture.

Lintao Prefecture is adjacent to Weiyuan County."

After these battles, they discovered that the Ming Dynasty's imperial army was rotten to the core and had little combat power at all.

However, he had no other choice.

The two governments decided to send troops together to suppress and eliminate the Salvation Army in one fell swoop.

Even though most of these will not end up in the hands of soldiers, it will still take a long time to deploy them.

However, he was confident that he could resist in just two prefectures.

In other words, the various teams of the People's Salvation Army are not qualified to recruit personnel independently, and they can only recruit new soldiers from the recruit camp.

"Why are you looking at me? I think the right thing to do is to follow the leader.

Even complete occupation.

Most of these officers and soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Wang Chao couldn't help but frown slightly.

What's more, he is no longer as weak as he was before.

After returning to Weiyuan County, Wang Chao immediately summoned Wang Dahu and others.

"This"

Wang Chao combined the ancient system of discussions between the monarch and his ministers with the modern meeting model and directly built a rectangular table in the meeting room with everyone sitting on both sides.

“Isn’t this a bit too much?”

The easy victories in these battles made their mentality somewhat inflated.

However, it is sufficient as a reference for rough distinction and troop deployment.

Perhaps it cannot face the encirclement and suppression of the entire Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming court is really determined to mobilize the entire nation to suppress us, how can we resist?"

In the meeting hall of the Niaoshu Mountain recruit camp, everyone saluted to Wang Chao and then took their seats on both sides.

Eh~?

However, the presence of such a powerful force in the two governments is also a huge threat to them.

The garrisons at passes like Shouyang Pass are in this situation.

"Hmm~?"

It is precisely because of this situation that Wang Dahu and his men have no idea how many qualified soldiers can be selected from the captured officers and soldiers.

Looking at the sand table with a central area and the distribution of enemy and friendly forces, Wang Sanshun suddenly spoke.

After Wang Chao stood up, Wang Dahu and others also stood up and looked towards the place Wang Chao was pointing.

Of course, with the current regular army of the People's Salvation Army being composed entirely of extraordinary soldiers, they also look down on ordinary people.

If they were regular soldiers who had been trained, they would have died countless times.

You can't expect our future enemies to be old, weak, sick, and disabled, right?"

Listening to Wang Chao's serious words, Li Yu said hesitantly:

Wang Dahu spoke in a deep voice.

Wang Chao had already anticipated the next actions of Lintao and Gongchang prefectures after he defeated the officers and soldiers at Shouyang Pass.

However, they did not expect it to be exaggerated to such an extent.

"leader!"

Do you think that if we become powerful, the Ming Dynasty court will send border troops to encircle and suppress us?

"No? Are you going to put our lives and safety above the court's responsibility?"

Listening to Wang Chao's story, Wang Sanshun couldn't help feeling a little worried.

And on the table, in addition to the tea in front of everyone, there is also a sand table.

However, in the People's Salvation Army, all regular troops must undergo recruit training in the recruit camp. Only after passing the training will they be sent to various teams according to needs.

However, there is a high probability that border troops will be mobilized to encircle and suppress the enemy.

Well, among the Salvation Army, there is no rule that the leader must sit in the main seat and everyone else must stand.

However, even though they were prepared, they did not take action immediately.

Is this still the Wang Erniu they knew? Is he so good at flattering?

Thank you all for your support! ()
