Sir, you have to pay more

Jinniu Cave, the Command Post of the Admiral of the Second Army.

In the temporary tent, the military admiral Zu Yingyuan was lying on a bamboo chair reading a book, as if the continuous artillery fire outside had never happened.

In front of the sand table, the chief of staff of the army, Rui Lin, was receiving the battle reports sent from various places. The staff of the military department continued to mark the situation of the enemy and the enemy on the sand table according to the battle reports collected by each department, so that the headquarters could clearly grasp the situation. After the general order is issued, they can only passively wait for the news, and cannot make timely adjustments according to changes in the battle situation.

This is a new regulation introduced by His Majesty the Emperor at the meeting of the senior generals of the entire army two months ago. For this reason, all troops are required to pay attention to staff work, and the formation of a qualified officer staff team is the most important thing in army building.

"The cavalry, as the general reserve, is absolutely not allowed to attack without the order of the military department!"

"Tell the artillerymen to shoot up all the medicines! Don't save me!"

"Electricly order the third town to strengthen Tan Qishan's defense force. If the enemy breaks through here, shrink the troops and let the enemy come in to fight!"

"Tell the Fourth Town that Pao'ergou is the most important entrance of the entire army. Even if the people in the Fourth Town are all dead, the enemy must not be allowed to pass through here!"

"."

After several orders in succession, Rui Lin looked at the staff officers who were recording: "Repeat the order just now!"

"Hey! Cavalry as general reserve"

After the complete retelling, the staff officers immediately drafted the commander's order into a telegram and sent it to the messenger office for urgent dispatch.

A group of people came in and a group of people went out in the tent, and Hou's personal soldiers who were waiting outside for Hou's order changed from group to group, and there was even the sound of cannons, guns, and fighting in all directions, creating a scene of great battle.

The battle report shows that the attack launched by the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces on the Shisanshan area was not a key attack, but a comprehensive attack.

At least six directions were attacked by the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces.

The battle has been intensified from the very beginning, and the casualties are being counted by various ministries, and it is estimated that there will be specific figures in the afternoon.

Generally speaking, the casualties of the Restoration Army must be smaller than that of the Manchu-Mongolian Allied Forces, because the Restoration Army, as the party with a strategic advantage, seized favorable terrain at the same time. Since ancient times, the casualties of the defenders must have been smaller than those of the attackers.

What's more, the Manchu and Mongolian allied forces lacked artillery and other long-range attack weapons, and were equipped with very few firearms. This was destined to destroy the reformation army that strangled the land leading to the throat of Jinzhou, and the Manchu and Mongolian allied forces would suffer unimaginable casualties.

The chief of staff who was busy walking around was in stark contrast to the admiral who lay there leisurely.

After issuing a few more military orders, Ruilin couldn't help but look at the admiral who was sitting on the bamboo chair who was concentrating on reading, and said with a wry smile: "After all, you are a general, and the battle is so calm, I am not as relaxed as you are." , my heart is always in suspense, always worried that something went wrong."

"Don't say I'm a general. It's not a good word to use it on me. You know that every time the emperor calls me a general, I can see the sarcasm in his eyes."

Zu Yingyuan sat up from the bamboo chair and stretched.

Now he doesn't like talking back to Devil Six anymore, because it's boring.

Every time he wants to gain the upper hand, Guizi Liu will put on the face of an emperor and ask him kindly: "Azu, do you not have Zhen in your heart?"

This is speechless.

"The pre-war meeting was held three times, and the results of the deduction were simulated several times. We have said what should be said, and we have strengthened what should be strengthened. All the weapons and equipment are in place, and the money, food, salary and silver are also paid in full. The rest is them. For frontline commanders, what do we worry about."

After finishing speaking, Zu Yingyuan put away the big padded jacket covering his body, stretched his waist and warmed his hands on the stove.

Rui Lin shook his head with a smile, poured himself a bowl of tea "Gudu" and drank it in one gulp, and said with a sip of his mouth: "The emperor will be the shopkeeper, and he didn't say that you, the admiral of the first army, will also be the shopkeeper. In such a big battle, you Anyway, let's put on a show, otherwise, how can we give the emperor a slash and seal him as a wolf?"

"It's okay to seal the wolf and live in Xu, but it's okay to go straight to Huanglong."

Zu Yingyuan chuckled, "As leaders, isn't the most important function of us is to lead the subordinates and make plans for them to implement? What's the problem? Is it necessary for me, the admiral, to put on armor and take the lead in the charge? Really? Time, it means that we have already lost and pour me a bowl of tea, how can I say that I am also the commander of the first army, you, the chief of staff, should treat me more courteously."

Just as they were talking, two dusty yellow jackets opened the curtain and walked in, bringing Zu Yingyuan and Ruilin the emperor's autographed letter.

"This is the ninth letter."

While opening the letter, Zu Yingyuan said to Ruilin angrily, "It's his own words that the general's lord's fate is not accepted by him. During the military meeting, he also said that he wouldn't care about how to beat him. If it really happened, he would be fine." He sent letters to me one by one, if he really couldn’t trust me, he might as well award me twelve gold medals and call me back.”

Ruilin coughed twice, not daring to accept this.

The two yellow jackets were no strangers to complaining about His Majesty's most trusted strategic partner, and they respectfully waited for the admiral to reply to the Emperor.

Zu Yingyuan didn't read it at all, handed the official letter to Ruilin and said directly to the two guards: "Please go back and ask Your Majesty, who is commanding the second army? Is it him or me? It's his words, let the emperor Command by yourself. If it is me, let the emperor wait with peace of mind, and there is no need to raise any opinions on the deployment of our army."

Then waved to the two guards to leave.

"Uh?"

The two guards looked at me and I looked at you. One of them bit the bullet and confirmed with the admiral that what he said just now was what he wanted them to bring to the emperor, and then nodded and answered truthfully.

After the two imperial guards left, Ruilin looked at Zu Yingyuan worriedly: "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will wear small shoes for you?"

"Wear small shoes? The emperor is not this kind of person."

Zu Yingyuan laughed, "In the past, I still had the feudal thought of being with a king like a tiger, but now, I feel that I have never seen through the emperor, nor really understood him. If, if "

After a pause, Zu Yingyuan showed an extremely serious expression on his face, "If you have to describe what kind of person the emperor is, then I can only say that he is an outstanding person who is rarely seen in a thousand years, and he will also be the most famous person in Chinese history. The most brilliant, the most brilliant, the greatest emperor, the kind of person who is the same emperor through the ages, to say that he has a small mind is the greatest insult to him."

After finishing speaking, he put the official version of "Diary of the Restoration Emperor Volume [-]" on the table gently, took the tea bowl from Ruilin and drank it down in one gulp.

"The emperor is indeed a benevolent king."

Rui Lin agreed with Zu Yingyuan's analysis, looked down at the ninth imperial letter sent by the emperor, and then stood there in a daze.

Because what is written in the letter-"Azu, did you not read my letter at all, and just said that I am an emperor through the ages, that I won't be narrow-minded, remember your grudges, and wear small shoes for you? Don't you?" Admit it, Ruilin will report to me."
