"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 152
The Qinghe Army Command held a three-day meeting and finally finalized the final plan for strategic transfer.
? When the high command issued an order to shift the strategy, the Qinghe Army, which had just completed its reorganization, also reacted strongly.
"Now there are a large number of dynastic troops in the surrounding areas. If we don't leave, we will be surrounded and we will all die."
The officers at the middle and upper levels more or less knew that the situation was extremely unfavorable to them, and they supported the command to transfer and retreat.
After all, it is not easy for them to get to the position of middle and upper-level officers, so naturally they want to continue to follow the army and continue to serve as officers.
"My home is in Qingyang Mansion, and it has been here for generations. If I leave, there will be no one to pay homage to the ancestor's grave. How will I face my ancestors?"
"Yes, with so many of us, we will definitely be able to defeat the imperial army."
"If I don't leave, I will die here. If I go to another province, I will become a lonely ghost after death."
?Compared to those officers in the middle and upper ranks, most grassroots officers and soldiers are resistant to retreat and transfer.
After all, most of them are from Qinghe Province, and their ancestors have lived here for generations. The so-called homeland is hard to leave, and they are unwilling to leave their hometown.
Even though the place has been emptied due to repeated wars, most of the refugees just flow from one prefecture to another, and eventually they flow within the province, and they are close to their hometown, so they can go back at any time.
But once you leave Qinghe Province, if you want to return to your hometown, it may be a long way off.
Facing the fact that most grassroots officers and soldiers were unwilling to leave Qinghe Province, the Qinghe Army Command was somewhat unexpected.
"We must understand it with reason, move it with emotion, and explain it clearly to the brothers, let them know that we are not fleeing, but just leaving temporarily, and we will still come back."
Chen Ru and the others also attached great importance to it, and urgently held a meeting of the headquarters. After all, at this juncture, it is necessary to strengthen cohesion instead of distracting people.
After the emergency meeting, all legions also launched actions immediately, but in different ways and with different effects.
Luo Dagang's Fifth Army Corps took a more brutal measure, which was to issue an order requiring every officer and soldier to obey the command of the command unconditionally. Anyone who dares not to follow the army will be killed without mercy.
Although Luo Dagang and the others took strict measures, deserters appeared one after another. These were unwilling to leave their hometown and go to strange places.
Luo Dagang also directly sent people to capture these deserters, beheaded them directly to show the public, and then displayed them in each banner battalion, and finally controlled the trend of deserters.
Meng Jianbo's Third Army was much gentler. They set tasks for each officer, and they must ensure that there were no deserters under their command. Once deserters appeared, the officers would be dismissed directly.
In order to keep their positions, these officers naturally tried their best to stabilize the morale of the army, coercing and luring, making empty promises, and so on.
Chen Ziang also knew that if he could not gather a unified understanding in his mind, he would face more troubles if he moved southward.
Chen Ziang first convened a meeting of all officers with more than a hundred generals, listened to their attitudes and ideas at the meeting, and then resolved them one by one.
Some military officers worried that after they left, their family members would face revenge from the imperial army and their homes would be burned down.
Chen Ziang directly promised that his family members and troops would evacuate together, and that he would form a special force to protect these family members and relieve their worries.
If after they left, the house was burned down and destroyed by the dynasty army, when they come back later, their Second Army Corps will pay for the repair of the house.
There are also military officers who are worried about the supply problem along the way. After all, the journey is long, so what if they run out of food.
"We have swords in our hands, how can we still starve to death?"
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, everyone laughed, thinking that what Chen Ziang said made sense.
"Brothers, we are now the site of the Fourth World War. If we stay here, the court will continue to mobilize troops from surrounding areas to encircle us, and we will be exhausted to death."
"But it will be different after leaving Qinghe Province, we will change the current passiveIn the fighting situation, where we want to go, the sky is high and the birds are flying, and the sea is wide and the fish are leaping, the Dynasty Army has nothing to do with us. "
"And the Qinghe province has been smashed to pieces. If we want to grow stronger, we can't do without food and population. There is no such thing here, but there are other places."
"Think about it, we will go to other places in the future and recruit more soldiers. When our team grows stronger, everyone here may have to upgrade several levels in a row."
When these military officers heard this, they were also eager to move. After all, it is good to be able to get promoted and make a fortune.
"General, where are we going to retreat?" Zhang Bao, the head of the banner, couldn't help asking.
Although the high command issued an order requiring all the troops to pack up and prepare to retreat, they did not say the purpose, but only said that they would leave Qinghe province.
"I'm also here to give you a brief introduction. The place we went to has beautiful mountains and clear waters and abundant food."
Chen Ziang and the others were worried that the destination would be leaked, so only the members of the high command knew about it, and this was also for the sake of confidentiality.
"General, is the place we are going really that good?" Lin Yu, head of the banner, was full of doubts.
Chen Ziang scolded with a smile: "When did you see me tell a lie?"
"If you don't believe me, I can make a bet with you."
"Hey, I didn't say I don't believe it." Lin Yu couldn't help but scratched his head.
"After you go back, you must tell your brothers well, I will not stop anyone who wants to stay, but when the dynasty army comes to kill them, they will definitely be liquidated. Whether you can survive, I am afraid we can only see Their good fortune."
"Follow the army, we will come back in the future, and everyone will have a share in promotion and fortune."
"General, don't worry, we must make it clear to the brothers."
"No!"
After Chen Ziang unified the understanding of the officers, he asked them to go back separately and explain clearly to each soldier.
In the end, there were no deserters in their second army, only more than a hundred soldiers could not leave their homeland and wanted to stay.
Chen Ziang didn't blame them, but summoned them in person and gave them money to live on.
"Everyone is a brother. After all, everyone has their own ambitions. I will not do the thing of crossing rivers and tearing down bridges. Rest assured, I will never blame you."
Seeing these uneasy soldiers, Chen Ziang showed a broad mind, which made these soldiers feel guilty.
"It's just that you left behind a lot of danger. You'd better hide in a remote village or mountain, otherwise, once the dynasty army finds out your identity, you will never survive."
"Thank you, General, for your concern."
"Although our army has to evacuate temporarily, we will come back one day. I will leave all the things I can't take with you. I hope you can do something for me" ( Remember the URL of this website: www.hlnovel.com
