    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 669

    Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, and Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner, only led more than a hundred guard cavalry to Huaiyang Mansion, which also showed that they had no two-hearted attitude.

    Chen Ziang also learned from various channels such as the Intelligence Investigation Department, and determined that his encounter with the bandits was just a misunderstanding, and there was no conspiracy behind it.

    Aiming at the complicated situation that Jiangnan Province is currently facing, Chen Zi'ang also held secret talks with Yuan Jie, the deputy army commander, and others for several hours, and proposed a solution in a targeted manner.

    Facing the rampant banditry in Jiangnan Province, and the situation where the southern army stragglers colluded with the local gentry and tyrants to deal with their Qinghe army, Chen Ziang decided to first set up a security department to deal with them.

    At the same time, due to the aggressive attack of more than 200,000 main troops of the Southern Army, the Qinghe Army in Jiangnan Province was insufficient.

    Chen Ziang decided to form the 20th Banner Regiment, the 21st Banner Regiment and the 22nd Banner Regiment in Jiangbei Province to reinforce the Jiangnan battlefield.

    The 20th Banner Regiment was formed by drawing troops from the 1st and Guard Banner Regiment, so it can go directly to the battlefield.

    The 21st and 22nd Banner Regiments were formed by the local security forces of Jiangbei Province. They have fought against bandits and bandits, so they have combat experience.

    As long as these three banner regiments are put into the Jiangnan battlefield, plus the original 12th banner regiment of infantry and 13th banner regiment of cavalry, their Qinghe army will have five banner regiments and 100,000 troops in Jiangnan Province.

    Chen Ziang now has the confidence to expand his army, because they conquered the Jiangnan province and have a lot of money and food.

    If it weren't for the combat effectiveness of the troops, Chen Zi'ang would be able to recruit at least ten more banner regiments in a short time just relying on the money and rations.

    It's just that sometimes soldiers are more expensive than elites. If they form a large number of troops with no combat effectiveness, they will waste food in addition to wasting food.

    Jiangnan Province is a piece of fat, and Chen Ziang is unwilling to give up, so they are bound to have a battle with the Southern Army.

    It's just that Chen Zi'ang and the others have just conquered the Jiangnan province, and they still need time to digest it further.

    So now time is life, as long as they can digest all the prefectures and counties in the Jiangnan provinces and gain a firm foothold, let alone more than 200,000 soldiers in the southern army, even if there are another 200,000, they will not be afraid  .

    Because Chen Ziang had already learned from Yuan Jie that the grain stored in Xitian Mansion in Jiangnan Province alone was enough for their Qinghe Army to feed them for decades.

    ? After all, the Far Eastern Dynasty has been passed down for so many years, and every year it stores grain in the Xitian warehouse in Xitian Prefecture.

    The Jiangnan province has not suffered from war, the land is fertile, and the population is large, so the grain output is large.

    Although the grain from the Jiangnan provinces is also continuously shipped to the northern provinces and the capital area.

    However, after hundreds of years, the amount of grain left in the Xitian warehouse is also an astronomical figure. This is Chen Ziang's confidence.

    For the Jiangnan Province, Chen Ziang was unwilling to give up, because for their Qinghe Army, this place was indispensable.

    In order to buy time to digest the newly occupied Jiangnan Province, Chen Ziang proposed a defensive strategy in the face of the menacing southern army.

    As the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, Chen Ziang now has to take care of both Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces, and the military and political power is concentrated in one body, so he has no time to deal with the southern army alone.

    Therefore, Chen Zi'ang decided to organize the newly formed 20th Banner Regiment, 21st Banner Regiment, 22nd Banner Regiment, 12th Banner Regiment, and Cavalry 13th Banner Regiment into one regiment to facilitate unified command.

    Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the Second Army who was originally in charge of logistics and drills, served as the new head of the Second Army and continued to serve as the deputy head of the Second Army.

    At the same time, Chen Ziang appointed Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner, and Lei Ming, the head of the 13th Banner. While serving as the head of the banner, he also served as the deputy head of the Second Corps.

    Chen Ziang created a new corps level between the corps and the banner corps. In addition to rewarding the soldiers who have captured the Jiangnan province and giving them a promotion channel, it is also for the convenience of commanding the battle.

    Under the auspices of Chen Zi'ang, the new Second Corps of the Second Corps of the Qinghe Army was formally established in Huaiyang Prefecture, Jiangnan Province.

    The new Corps Commander Yuan Jie, Deputy Corps Commander Han Feng, and Lei Ming also all took office, announcing the further growth of the Second Corps of the Qinghe Army.

    Yuan Jie and the others were worried about the misunderstanding caused by the bandit's attack on Chen Ziang. Even if the misunderstanding is resolved, it will cause a rift between them.

    However, when Chen Ziang appointed him as the head of the real power corps,At that time, Yuan Jie, the old man, was also very moved.

    Chen Ziang has always employed people without suspicion. After figuring out the situation, he naturally trusted Yuan Jie and the others as always.

    The new deputy commanders, Han Feng and Lei Ming, were also very grateful to Chen Ziang, because one of them was a rebel general and the other was a surrendered general.

    Chen Ziang was able to promote them continuously and had a lot of trust in them, which made them also decide to confuse Chen Ziang in order to repay their kindness.

    "From now on, the Twelfth Banner Regiment, in addition to retaining some troops to maintain local law and order, will gather its main force to Tongshan Mansion, Jiang'an Mansion, and Xinmen Mansion on the western border to deal with the main attack of the southern army."

    The main force of the Southern Army was coming fiercely, so after Chen Ziang presided over the inauguration ceremony of the new Second Corps, he asked Han Feng, the deputy commander of the Second Corps and the head of the 12th Banner regiment, to lead the main force of the banner regiment and march towards the western border.

    "The 50,000 prisoners of war from Jiangnan Province also marched in with you. Your first task after arriving at the predetermined area is to strengthen the city defense, build trenches, and build fortifications."

    The Qinghe Army had just conquered the Jiangnan province, and its soldiers were exhausted. Coupled with the lack of troops, there was no way to fight a decisive battle with the Southern Army.

    So Chen Ziang's strategy this time is to procrastinate. The longer the delay, the better it will be for them.

    After all the five banner regiments under their Second Corps are in place, they will ask for a decisive battle with the Southern Army.

    Han Feng, the new deputy commander of the regiment, is very excited now, and at the same time realizes that he has a heavy burden on his shoulders.

    ?Because one of their flag regiments went to Tongshan on the western border, Xinmen and Jiang'an three prefectures for defensive operations.

    However, what they faced was the main force of the Southern Army with more than 200,000 troops, which can be said to be under great pressure.

    As a mobile unit, the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry still needs to stay in the provinces of the south of the Yangtze River to deter those gangs of bandits until the Department of Public Security is established to take over the place.

    Therefore, the Twelfth Banner Regiment does not have any reinforcements in a short period of time, and the only hope is that the newly formed 20th Banner Regiment can rush to Jiangnan Province as soon as possible.

    However, the 20th Banner Regiment drew troops from the First and Guard Banner Regiments, and the First Banner Regiment was deployed near the capital of Jiangbei Province. It would take at least a month to come here as quickly as possible.

    "Your task is to do your best to hold back the main force of the Southern Army and delay them in the border area as much as possible."

    Chen Zi'ang also knew that the 12th Banner Regiment was under great pressure, but now he didn't have any troops to mobilize, so he could only let them go up temporarily.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
