    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 722

    In the west of the Jiangnan Province, there is a Fenglin Town surrounded by large maple trees. In the afternoon, a brigade of the Qinghe Army in black uniforms arrived here, preparing to spend the night here.

    Although Fenglin Town is located in the prosperous Jiangnan Province, there are only more than 300 households and more than 2,000 people living in the town.

    The total number of cavalry, infantry and convoys of the Qinghe Army who are going to spend the night in Fenglin Town is more than 1,500.

    The arrival of the Qinghe Army made Fenglin Town fearful, but at the same time it became lively and noisy.

    Although the Qinghe Army now occupies the entire Jiangnan province, its control over villages and towns below the county level is quite weak.

    Song Zhi has just assumed the post of Chief of Government Affairs of Jiangnan Province, and the officials under him are quite limited, so he can only take over the prefectures and counties for the time being.

    Therefore, at the village and town level, there are almost no officials belonging to the Qinghe Army, and those appointed by the court have long since escaped, so Fenglin Town is the same, and it is now in a state of no one.

    Fortunately, the Public Security Department of Jiangnan Province was successively established in various prefectures and counties. They cracked down on bandits and bandits.

    Now that a large number of Qinghe troops have arrived in Fenglin Town, the people living here are quite uneasy.

    Because they saw the serious faces of those Qinghe soldiers and their murderous looks, they were naturally terrified.

    ?The chaos of war spread to all provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty, armies from all walks of life conquered each other, and there were many troops with loose military discipline.

    If the common people encountered these troops with lax military discipline, it would be fine if they were looted, and they only lost some money and food.

    If you encounter some unreasonable troops, the people will not only be looted, but also coerced into joining the army, and then die in a foreign land.

    The people of Fenglin Town elected a highly respected old man, and took the money, food, wine and meat they collected to comfort the Qinghe Army, hoping to exchange for the safety of Fenglin Town.

    It's just that the Qinghe army they encountered was different from the southern army and civilian army they had encountered in the past.

    Although the Qinghe army took their wine and meat, they also gave them the equivalent amount of money, which made them very different.

    Moreover, after this team of Qinghe troops settled in Fenglin Town, except for renting a few small farm yards in the town, the rest of the soldiers and horses camped outside the town, and they did not commit any harm to the town.

    Soon they inquired and found out that this group of soldiers and horses wearing black uniforms and armor was the Qinghe Army. After seeing what the Qinghe Army did, they also greatly increased their affection for the Qinghe Army.

    Chen Zi'ang, the commander of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army, now owns two provinces and more than 100,000 troops.

    Although the Jiangnan Province has just been defeated, the situation has stabilized following Chen Ziang's series of actions. The next step is to digest the Jiangnan Province.

    Chen Zi'ang transferred Song Zhi to Jiangnan Province as Chief of Political Affairs, and appointed Yue Shan as Director of Public Security of Jiangnan Province.

    With Song Zhi and Yue Shan, who are civil and military, responsible for the stability and digestion of the Jiangnan province, and Chen Ziang, the army commander, have time to rush to the western part of the province to prepare for the southern army's attack.

    After all, the Jiangnan province has stabilized, so someone will be responsible for the suppression of bandits and the New Deal, and Chen Ziang's key tasks will be shifted accordingly.

    Yuan Jie, head of the Second Corps of the Second Corps, has led the troops to the border area one step ahead.

    However, the outcome of the battle with the southern army is related to whether Chen Ziang and the others can completely control the Jiangnan province, so he attaches great importance to it.

    Chen Ziang was worried that Yuan Jie, the commander of the Second Corps, was inexperienced and had insufficient troops to cope with the southern army with a strength of more than 200,000, so he was also prepared to come to supervise the battle in person.

    Fenglin Town is already located in the western part of the province, and it will be able to enter the territory of Tongshan Prefecture in Jiangnan Province in two days and arrive at the war zone.

    When Chen Ziang and the others arrived in Fenglin Town, they already felt the atmosphere of war here.

    In Fenglin Town, there are many refugees who escaped from Tongshan Mansion to escape the war.

    These refugees brought money and food to take refuge here, so the situation is relatively good, and many of them live in the inns in the town.

    There are also some relatively poor refugees who live in the homes of farmers outside the town, and are going to wait and see the situation for a while before deciding to stay.

    When Chen Ziang and the others arrived in Fenglin Town, some refugees were terrified, and they left one after another.

    However, seeing that Chen Ziang and the others had strict military discipline, Qiu committed no crimes, and some refugees who waited and watched stayed.

    the"General, I've inquired about it and found that the mood of the people in the town is fairly stable, and they have no plans to flee for the time being, and I haven't heard of any large groups of bandits around."

    "The people who escaped from Tongshan Mansion are all wealthy households. They said that Tongshan Mansion is still in the hands of the Qinghe Army."

    Du Jian, captain of the personal guard, is Chen Ziang's confidant and also Chen Ziang's key training object, so Du Jian is responsible for many things.

    Chen Zi'ang intentionally cultivated some confidant officers, so he not only taught the personal guards personally from time to time, but also arranged for them to do some things, such as inquiring about intelligence, etc., to train them.

    "We are not familiar with the surrounding situation, so we should send more sentries to avoid being taken advantage of by others."

    "Don't worry, general, I have sent scouts to search for the surrounding fifty miles."

    The last time Chen Ziang was attacked and almost died, Du Jian also blamed himself, but fortunately Chen Ziang didn't blame him.

    So now wherever Chen Ziang went, the news was almost blocked, and every place he went was heavily guarded, so Du Jian didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

    Chen Ziang nodded in satisfaction after listening to Du Jian's arrangement. Du Jian knew that he could correct his mistakes, and he became more prudent and orderly in doing things.

    As long as the time is right, he can be trained as a banner battalion commander or deputy banner commander outside.

    However, Du Jian was still young. Although Chen Ziang was very satisfied with Du Jian in his heart, he didn't often praise him. Instead, he often criticized and educated him to avoid his pride.

    Although Du Jian seemed to be trembling by Chen Ziang's side, in fact he himself grew up very quickly.

    After all, following Chen Ziang's side, he has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and his ability to solve problems has improved a lot, whether it is dealing with people or things, or analyzing problems.

    Chen Ziang was also exhausted from the journey. After Du Jian finished his report, he also left the house to let Chen Ziang take a good rest.

    But when Du Jian walked to the gate of the courtyard, he found Zhai Wenjing, the deputy director of the intelligence investigation department, standing at the gate of the courtyard with a few people.

    "Director Zhai, when did you arrive?"

    Du Jian was also very surprised to see Zhai Wenjing, deputy director of the Intelligence Investigation Department, arriving in Fenglin Town.

    "We just arrived."

    The dusty Zhai Wenjing spoke.

    "You haven't eaten yet, I'll tell the kitchen to get you something to eat."

    Although Zhai Wenjing is the deputy director of the intelligence and investigation department, he is also a high-ranking official. Du Jian naturally does not dare to pretend to be a tiger, and does not take him seriously.

    "Thank you, brother Du, but I have something important to report. I wonder if it is convenient for the general now?"

    While Zhai Wenjing was speaking, she followed the gate and glanced into the yard, and saw that the candles in the house were still on.

    "The general is going to rest, but if Director Zhai has something important to report, I will report it right away, please wait later." Du Jian said politely.

    Seeing that Zhai Wenjing arrived in a hurry, Du Jian also expected that he was in a hurry, so naturally he did not dare to delay.

    "Thank you, Brother Du, let's have a good drink when we have time later."

    "Easy to say, easy to say." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
