"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 262
Yuan Jie led the main force of the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army to capture Lingtai Town, and a large number of soldiers poured in, making it lively.
The news that the Qinghe army killed bullies and rich men everywhere, and distributed food and land to the people has spread.
Therefore, the people of Lingtai Town did not flee from the plague as usual to avoid the war, but they lined the road to welcome the Qinghe Army and warmly welcomed the arrival of the Qinghe Army.
Seeing the people lining the road to welcome them, Yuan Jie realized that what Chen Ziang did was really farsighted.
In this way, it is tantamount to directly dismantling the rule of the Far Eastern Dynasty from the bottom, because their Qinghe army distributed food and fields to the people, while the court had heavy and miscellaneous taxes, which made the people breathless.
The common people are the most hard-working people in the world, and they are also the most honest group of people. They silently endure the exploitation and oppression, but it does not mean that they are fools.
Now comparing the Qinghe Army with the imperial court, they naturally chose to stand on the side of the Qinghe Army without hesitation.
Yuan Jie also knew that it was not easy for them to establish such an image with great difficulty, so he repeatedly emphasized military discipline, not wanting a mouse dropping to ruin a pot of soup.
Facing these warm and hospitable people, the cavalry of the Ninth Banner Regiment subtly developed a sense of pride and justice in their hearts.
Under the influence of this atmosphere, there used to be many soldiers with relatively loose military discipline, but they were ashamed to eat and take things from the common people for free. According to the rules of the army, they were all given money.
The troops of the Ninth Banner Regiment were clearing out the remnants of the enemy in Lingtai Town, while counting money and food to prepare for Chen Ziang's arrival. Although it was already night, the entire Lingtai Town was brightly lit and busy.
"General Lu, are they here?"
As the No. 2 figure of the Ninth Banner Regiment, Yuan Jie was already in the middle of the night when he finished his work. He rubbed his tired temples and asked the guards.
The guard replied: "Master Yuan, the generals haven't come back yet."
After hearing the guard's answer, Yuan Jie couldn't help frowning, and Fatty Lu led his troops to wipe out the horse bandits.
It stands to reason that he had ended the battle long ago and went to Lingtai Town to join them, but now he has not come back, which gave him a vague premonition.
"Have you sent someone to contact you?" Yuan Jie frowned and asked.
The guard shook his head: "I never sent anyone to contact you."
Yuan Jie also felt a little uneasy after there was no news for such a long time.
"Send a team of scouts to see where General Lu and the others are now." Yuan Jie ordered after thinking for a while.
"No!"
The guards didn't dare to neglect the slightest, and immediately strode away to convey Yuan Jie's order.
Soon, a team of scouts Qingqi held torches and rushed out of Lingtai Town, heading towards the direction where Fatty Lu and the others wiped out the horse bandits.
"Damn, it's already midnight, and you're still messing around. I think this guy named Yuan is trying to trick us on purpose."
The scouts and light cavalry rode their horses and trotted in the dark, and some scouts couldn't help complaining.
As the sharp knife troops of the Ninth Banner Regiment, their scouts have always been at the forefront, their nerves were tense, and it was very hard work.
They thought they could have a good sleep when they arrived in Lingtai Town, but they were woken up in the middle of the night and asked them to find Fatty Lu and others, so they were full of resentment.
"This scholar surnamed Yuan, who is also powerless, is riding on our necks, what a fucking wretch!"
"Who says it's not? In the past few days, several brothers from other scout teams have committed crimes in the hands of the surname Yuan. Isn't it just drinking a little wine in private? gone."
The scouts complained as they rode their horses and trotted, and their complaints upset the leader of the centurion.
"Shut up, Lao Tzu. Although Mr. Yuan is strict with us, he didn't treat us badly, and gave us a lot of rewards. Let's not eat other people's food, and want to smash their pots."
Hearing that the brothers under his command were getting more and more off topic, the ten generals couldn't help but scolded them a few words.
"Boss, don't be angry, our brothers are just talking here."
Seeing that there was a trace of anger in the tone of the ten generals in their own family, several scouts also smiled and apologized.
The ten generals snorted coldly: "Hmph, if Lao Zhang is hereBy the way, I'm afraid you guys are already in confinement now. "
Now all levels of the Qinghe Army have full-time officers in charge of military discipline, and members of the Civil and Military Association are all over the army.
Their scout team originally had a deputy ten general who was responsible for maintaining military discipline, and this deputy ten general was also a member of the Civil and Military Association.
It's just that in the previous battle, when they were investigating the enemy's situation, they encountered a siege of bullies.
They fought bloody battles to break through, but the deputy general and three other brothers died in battle trying to cover them.
Their scout team is currently short of people. It was originally said that tomorrow they would replenish a few brothers and a deputy general in charge of military discipline.
It's just that they came out to perform tasks before they were in place, so now their scout team has neither members from the Civil and Military Association nor anyone responsible for maintaining military discipline, so they dare to make a little fuss.
But thinking of the ten deputy generals they had already killed in battle, the scouts all sighed, because they admired and respected this officer from the bottom of their hearts.
Because they, the deputy ten generals, have strict requirements on them, but when they fight, they take the lead and cover their retreat.
The men in the army don't have so many twists and turns. What they admire is this kind of brave man who takes the lead in battle.
And those members of the civil and military association and the officers in charge of military discipline are not afraid of death on the battlefield as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.
It is precisely because of this that although there are more restrictions in the military now, military discipline is also strictly enforced.
But these ordinary soldiers didn't hate those civil and military members and military discipline officers at all, because they thought they were inferior.
Moreover, members of the civil and military association and military discipline officers also have the highest death rate recently, and they seem to have become the backbone of the army.
Now in the army, as long as you see soldiers and officers with purple patterns embroidered on their cuffs and red armbands, everyone is in awe and respects them sincerely.
Although the soldiers respected the members of the Civil and Military Association and military discipline officers, they didn't like Yuan Jie, the airborne officer.
Because they got used to being under the command of General Lu Fatty, and became rebellious.
What they admire are those who are brave on the battlefield, but Yuan Jie is different from other members of the Civil and Military Association.
Because Yuan Jie never charged forward, and no matter where he went, he was surrounded by many guards to protect him.
In this way, the soldiers felt that Yuan Jie was a coward, so they also had some subconscious resistance to his military orders.
But these soldiers misunderstood Yuan Jie. Although Yuan Jie was also a member of the Civil and Military Association, he was different from ordinary members of the Civil and Military Association.
Ordinary civil and military members are the elite and backbone of the army, and it is their duty to take the lead in combat.
However, Yuan Jie is the branch president of the Civil and Military Association. His task is to look at the overall situation and dispatch and command in the center, rather than rushing into the battle. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
