"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 296
Just after dawn in the morning, Chen Ziang convened a meeting of officers above the banner and battalion commander in the big tent of the Chinese army.
After their Second Army was reorganized in Pingshun Town, they set up the First and Ninth Banner Regiments.
Later, the Tenth Banner Regiment was newly established in Wenshui County, and the Eleventh Banner Regiment was newly established in Lujiang Prefecture, and the establishment continued to grow.
It's just that the troops of the Tenth Banner Regiment and the Eleventh Banner Regiment remained in the local area. Their task was to develop and strengthen themselves, to contain the power of the imperial court, and to relieve the pressure on Chen Ziang's main force.
Now following Chen Ziang's actions are still the two troops of the Field First and Ninth Banner Regiment.
It's just that compared to their stretched 20,000 troops when they were reorganizing in Pingshun Town, they continued to recruit new recruits along the way, and in addition to recruiting tens of thousands of bandits from Tianfeng Village, their strength was greatly enhanced.
Now only the First Banner Regiment has 30,000 infantry under its jurisdiction, and the Ninth Banner Regiment is a cavalry unit with a strength of nearly 10,000.
It's just that there are nearly 10,000 cavalrymen in the Ninth Banner Regiment, and there are only three or four thousand people who actually have horses, and the rest are all two-legged cavalry.
However, they have been assigned to the cavalry unit of the Ninth Banner Regiment. Even though there are no horses now, they still carry out corresponding cavalry training.
Once they have replenished enough horses, the combat effectiveness of the Ninth Banner Regiment will also be greatly enhanced.
Seeing the increasing number of soldiers and horses under his command, Chen Ziang felt happy but also under pressure.
Because these tens of thousands of brothers and countless craftsmen and military families have given him their wealth and lives, and that is their trust in him.
As the head of the Second Legion, the General of Hussars, he looks good on the surface, but in fact he is walking on thin ice, because he must be responsible for every follower and their lives.
Chen Ziang sat at the top of the military tent, Li Lang, the deputy commander of the army, sat at the bottom left, and the banner commanders and banner battalion commanders sat on both sides, all of them with serious faces and serious ceremonies.
Fatty Lu, the former head of the Ninth Banner, has now been demoted to be the head of the Banner Battalion. He sits under Yuan Jie, the head of the Banner, with a sullen face, not daring to look at Chen Ziang.
Fatty Lu has been recuperating since he was injured in a defeat while leading the army, and Chen Ziang was too busy to visit him.
Last time, Yuan Jie, the leader of the Banner, said that Fatty Lu wanted to lead the First Banner Battalion as a vanguard, and Chen Ziang also agreed, but he did not meet Fatty Lu directly.
"Fatty, how's the injury?"
Now when Chen Ziang saw Fatty Lu sitting under Yuan Jie, standing upright, he was the first to call his name.
Fatty Lu suffered a defeat and was demoted again. He was on an equal footing with many of his former subordinates, which made him feel ashamed, so he never wanted to see people.
But now that Chen Ziang held a meeting, he had to come. Who knew that Chen Ziang would be the first to call his name.
Moreover, when Chen Ziang called his name, he did not criticize him. Instead, he asked about his injuries with concern, which made him feel astonished and warm in his heart at the same time.
"General, my injury is almost healed."
Fatty Lu looked at Chen Ziang staring at him with a smile, and after a few seconds of staring, he hurriedly stood up to answer.
"It's good that the injury is healed, otherwise I will lose one general."
Chen Ziang looked at Fatty Lu who still had scars on his face, and nodded in satisfaction.
"But you still have to pay more attention, don't fall into hidden diseases." Chen Ziang warned: "Let the gang leader get you some good things to make up for it, you see that you have lost weight."
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Fatty Lu also suddenly had a sore nose, and an old man almost shed tears.
However, in front of so many colleagues, he still restrained himself, and responded with a whimpering voice.
Fatty Lu thought that he had suffered a defeat. After being demoted, he would not be welcomed by Chen Zi'ang from now on, and it would be difficult to have a bright future.
But he didn't expect that Chen Ziang didn't mean to blame him at all, and he still cared for him very much.
This made Fatty Lu, who had lost a lot, feel that his whole body was infused with strength again, and he wished he could go to the battlefield now and charge for Chen Ziang.
When the rest of the officers in the military tent heard that Chen Ziang was concerned about Fatty Lu, they all understood, and looked at Fatty Lu differently.
After all, when Fatty Lu was demoted back then, they all thought that Fatty Lu's life was coming to an end, so unknowingly, they also alienated a lot.Now that Chen Zi'ang's attitude towards Fatty Lu is the same as before, they can naturally feel that he might be reinstated at some point, so they want to go back and have a good relationship.
"How are the brothers in each battalion feeling?"
After Chen Zi'ang cared about Fatty Lu, the head of the banner who had been demoted by him, he quickly changed the topic back to the main topic.
Zhou Ba, head of the First Banner Regiment, spoke first: "General, the brothers in each battalion of our First Banner Regiment are all highly motivated to fight, and have asked me to fight several times."
"very good."
"Our brothers in the Ninth Banner Regiment are also screaming. As long as the general gives an order, the brothers will definitely go forward!" Yuan Jie, the head of the Ninth Banner Regiment, also expressed his attitude.
Hearing the high fighting spirit of the army, Chen Ziang was also very happy. As long as the army has morale, it will not worry about not being able to win the battle.
"Our policy is to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, so our main goal this time is the reinforcements from the imperial court."
"Information shows that an army of more than 100,000 people has come from the province of Hezhong, and it is coming towards us. There are more than 10,000 people in the front line, and it is only three to five days away from us."
"At the same time, the prefectures and counties of Luyang Province have also assembled a lot of soldiers and horses, and they are coming here."
Hearing that so many enemies were approaching rapidly, the officers in the military tent not only did not have the slightest fear, but looked excited, gearing up for a big fight.
After all, the Qinghe Army attaches great importance to military merit, as long as there is a battle, it means a steady stream of military merit and glory, which is what they dream of.
After Chen Zi'ang briefly described the enemy's situation, he immediately began to assign tasks to the officers in the military tent.
"Yuan Jie¡ª¡ª"
"The end is here!"
"You command the entire Ninth Banner Regiment, and I will send you two infantry battalions to eat up the forwards of the Dynasty Army from Hezhong Province."
"No!"
"Sit down."
"ah?"
"how?"
"General, please show me how to fight this battle."
Yuan Jie didn't expect that Chen Ziang only gave him a task, but he didn't say how big it was, which made him a little confused.
Because they used to perform specific tasks, facing Chen Ziang's sudden change, he hadn't adjusted to it yet.
"I appointed you as the commander-in-chief. You decide how to fight the battle. I only want the result." Chen Ziang said.
"No!"
Yuan Jie sat down in a daze, and soon he understood that maybe this was Chen Ziang's test for him.
When Chen Ziang called Zhou Ba, the head of the First Banner, to assign tasks, Yuan Jie had already started thinking in his heart how to complete his tasks with the least cost.
