Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 970 Good, very energetic!

The temporary headquarters of the Eastward Corps was located in Shanhaiguan, and the center of His Majesty's imperial camp was also located here.

However, His Majesty the Emperor has a decree that military affairs shall be based on the Corps.

That is to say, as soon as the battle starts, all military reports and requests for instructions on the front line must be sent to the Corps Command, and then submitted to the Imperial Battalion for review after being determined by the Corps Command.

In other words, Jia Liu didn't care where, how, or how to fight. As the emperor, he only provided money and food unconditionally for the [-] soldiers of the Corps to perform. When it came to specific command, he would never interfere, even if he was an emperor.

This decree won the unanimous support and approval of the generals at all levels of the Corps. The officers and soldiers praised His Majesty the Emperor for his wisdom and martial arts, and sympathized with their hard work.

Regarding the selection of the commander-in-chief of the Eastward Corps, the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the emperor himself actually had three opinions at the beginning.

The cabinet's opinion is that the Dongjin Corps is a large group army with a jurisdiction of 10 troops. Before that, it was customary to command an army of [-] troops at the level of General Dingbian and Dingxi.

Now that the Qing Dynasty does not have a general at the marshal level, it is necessary to find a general who can recruit and fight well to serve as the commander-in-chief of this corps.

Or royal family dignitaries can also.

Therefore, the cabinet suggested that Wan Chaoxing, the former admiral of Zhili and currently serving as General Jingzhou in charge of the Huguang area, should be transferred to be the commander of the corps, or the emperor's brother-in-law Wang Chunying of Xinjun should be appointed as the commander.

Wan Chaoxing participated in the pacification of the Shandong religious rebellion, and also directed the counter-insurgency work against the Rehe Eight Banners. Later, he led the Zhili battalion to unconditionally support His Majesty the Emperor's restoration, and participated in the battle against Chen Yongxuan's troops. It can be said that he has made great military achievements. of.

Although the whole city of Jingzhou no longer exists, the post of general of Jingzhou still exists, and it is an important post before the governor. Therefore, it is in line with the system for Wan Chaoxing to lead the expedition.

Although King Xinjun had never commanded an army, he was the king of hats, the brother-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, and after Duduo, the founding prince of Yu, his status was extremely dignified, and there were many Niu Lu in the Eight Banners outside the Guan. The white flag was transferred outside the pass, so the appointment of King Xinjun as the commander-in-chief of the army should make these Niulu give up rebelling against the court.

But both candidates were rejected by the Six Emperors.

The reason for rejecting Wan Chaoxing is that this guy is not as good as the Six Emperors!

The so-called military exploits were completely shared by his six emperors.

It can be said that Wan Chaoxing and the only two guys are the benchmarks that Jia Liu forcibly set up in order to fool Qianlong and divide and win over the green camp forces.

Talking about the record, the water is a mess.

As for Chunying, it is even more impossible for Jia Liu to let this nerd lead the army, even by name.

In addition, according to the recent investigation by the Internal Affairs Committee, Chun Ying is dishonest.

Whether it was when Zhang Jia was in power, or after the restoration of Qianlong, or when he entered the Restoration, this king of Xinjun, who gave the outside world the impression of a nerd, had a lot of little tricks in private.

If it weren't for Ruxiu's affection, Jia Liu would have beaten Chunying a long time ago, and of course it would be even more impossible for him to lead the battle.

The opinion of the Ministry of War is in favor of Bao Ning, the admiral of the First Army.

Judging from his resume, Baoning was originally the admiral of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion. He has rich experience and has participated in many wars in the northwest region. In addition, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion has a strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, the Ministry of War believes that Baoning can be more effective as the commander-in-chief of the Corps. Give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion.

Still rejected by Jia Liu.

Because he tends to let Wang Fu, his most loyal office director, be the commander-in-chief of the corps.

Although Director Wang is actually not good at military command, Director Wang has several advantages that other generals cannot match.

First, Director Wang is a good lubricant, no matter what conflicts he can coordinate;

Whether it's a peacemaker or a peacemaker, at least Director Wang can settle all aspects.

Second, Director Wang is not good at fighting, but he is very good at training soldiers. He single-handedly led the new army in several towns in Zhili, including the armed forces school.

Therefore, in the Zhili New Army, Director Wang is very famous and very appealing.

Third, although Director Wang's performance in charge of the Jingdong area was not outstanding, he was also quite satisfactory. At least he suppressed the eagerness of Pan Zhishan, the former admiral of Gubeikou. condition.

Fourth, Director Wang was single-handedly picked up by his six emperors, and he can represent the old mountain of Gongjin Huihan Eight Banners.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief of this corps must be Wang Fu, and Wang Fu has been appointed as the general by default.

Azu just appointed a general by default.

When Jia Liu transferred Wang Fu to Zhili to train the new army, he also considered that Wang Fu was representative.

After a brief welcoming ceremony, surrounded by dozens of military and political officials, Jia Liu came to the Eastward Corps headquarters in Guancheng.

Lao Ji and Queenie also rushed over.

Qianlong was also in the crowd, but he "hidden" himself in the crowd in a very low-key way, not showing mountains or waters.

Except for a few generals who looked surprised when they saw Qianlong, the others didn't care.

Because most people don't know the former emperor who abdicated.

Before Jia Liu sat down, a guard stepped forward to untie his royal robe and cloak for him, and after taking off his fox fur jacket to keep warm and keep out the cold, Jia Liu motioned for all the important civil and military officials to sit down, and said with a smile on his face: "You are very prosperous here, I am also really very cold, your presence makes my place radiant, thank you Dade!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a silence in the auditorium, and then cheerful laughter came out.

The reason is that the idioms used by the emperor seem to be very inappropriate.

The whole atmosphere came alive at once.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Wang Fu, the commander of the Dongjin Corps (Deputy General of Dingbian plus the title of Minister of the Ministry of War), stood up and shook his head, and said to the laughing civil and military officials:

"Are you laughing at His Majesty's inappropriate use of idioms? Then you don't understand, does His Majesty's literary talent still need to be proved? Your Majesty deliberately used these idioms wrongly, so as to narrow the relationship with us courtiers!

Your Majesty is telling us not to be nervous, not to be restrained in front of him, and to be as close as a family as before. Your Majesty has always regarded us as his courtiers as relatives, as brothers, as relatives and siblings! "

"."

The small auditorium fell silent again, and after a few breaths, both civil servants and military officials stood up "baba" and bowed deeply to His Majesty the emperor on the stage.

When Lao Ji and Queenie sat down again, they looked at each other, and they both frowned, because they found that each other had an extra white handkerchief for wiping tears.

"The one who knows me, Wang Fu."

Jia Liu chuckled, then suddenly straightened his expression, and with a random wave of his hand, the giant Liaodong map behind him was slowly pulled away.

The location of Shanhaiguan where the generals are located is deeply circled with a large red circle.

"Shanhai Pass has always been a place where military strategists of all dynasties must use their troops. This place has determined the rise and fall of many dynasties. It is close to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If Wu Sangui hadn't opened Shanhaiguan, the Qing Dynasty would have successfully entered China!
Today's Shanhaiguan has become a battleground for military strategists. Probably because of the stubbornness of the Eight Banners outside the pass, they refuse to obey me, cut themselves off from our army and civilians inside the pass, and try to recreate a great Qing outside the pass. Is it tolerable or unbearable!
Outside the pass is the place where my Qing Dynasty prospered, how could I just sit back and watch these gangsters steal the foundation of my ancestors!Today, I am honored to go out of the customs with you and others, and vow to protect the territorial integrity of the Qing Dynasty to the death! "

After eloquently expressing his determination to regain the territory outside the customs, Jia Liu turned his attention to Wang Fu, the commander of the corps, who was sitting in front of the front left, and his eyes were always drifting back and forth: "Commander Wang, I have finished what I want to say. Now it's your turn, the commander in chief, to talk to them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Wang Fu got up and bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, he turned to look at the crowd, and said, "Recently, people often chirp and make fun of me, Wang Fu, saying that the Dongjin Corps is the place where the elite soldiers of the Reform Dynasty gather. Yuan Hu will be in command in the future, even if he can't send a tiger, he must send a dog, who would have chosen my pig, Wang Fu, in the end."

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Liu on the stage trembled immediately, and couldn't help touching his head, he couldn't really be the reincarnation of the black turtle.

Look at the admirals, chiefs of staff, and commanders who are under the command of the Eastward Corps below, with different expressions.

Some think it makes sense, some think it doesn't matter, and some think it can't be described in this way. In short, there are all kinds of expressions.

Amid all the expressions on everyone's face, Wang Fu smiled and said, "But if I say it, it's really a compliment. In ancient and modern wars, people have successfully used the pig's tactics time and time again. When there is an attack, they will cuddle up against their buttocks." The wall prevents you from grabbing its tail, and finally it has nothing to do with it. If it can’t get its fangs and sharp teeth to bite you, it won’t let you go! So don’t underestimate pigs, especially wild boars, they are very ferocious animals!”

After finishing speaking, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a solemn expression: "The army will leave the customs tomorrow, and here I, Wang Fu, want to say something to you admirals, chiefs of staff, and adults in control, there is no war to fight." At that time, you and Wang Fu can do whatever you want to smile, even if you scold my mother!

But as soon as the cannon fires and the battle starts, whoever disobeys my command, don't blame Wang for hanging his head on the Shanhai Pass! "

"Okay, very spirited!"

Jia Liu stood up without hesitation, "Commander Wang means what I mean! Whoever disobeys Commander Wang will disobey me!"

After saying that, he took his Yebilong sword with his own hands, went to Wang Fu and gave the sword to him.

"This knife is like coming in person!"

Just six words, impressively gave Wang Fu the power of nothing.

Wang Fu immediately stated that if he did not destroy Shengjing, he would kill himself with this knife, and he would not fail His Majesty and Qing Dynasty.

Jia Liu nodded and asked Wang Fu where he planned to attack first.

"Go back to the emperor, take Jinzhou first!"

Wang Fu said that according to intelligence, the bandits outside the pass have built Jinzhou into an impenetrable city, and if they want to enter Shengjing through the Liaoxi Corridor, they must first take Jinzhou, so our army must occupy Jinzhou at all costs.

"At all costs! Whichever crashes, the military law will do it!"

This sentence was obviously spoken by Commander Wang to the senior generals of the corps.

"Okay, if you, the commander of the corps, have this determination, I won't say much else,"

Jia Liuhuan looked at the generals and slapped the table heavily: "I don't want the number of casualties, I only want Jinzhou!"
