Chapter 1471 Conquering the Empire (17)

"Huh? There is no troop establishment?"

The crown prince found that the military establishment was gone at this point, and he couldn't help but was extremely disappointed and prepared to put away the scroll, but he seemed to have discovered something suddenly, leaned close to the scroll, and said in a surprised tone: "The infantry and cavalry equipment is completely equipped according to the old rules. The length of enlistment is [-]% for ten years, [-]% for five years, and [-]% for three years! And all soldiers have more than ten war experiences! This is impossible!" At this time, the crown prince's eyes widened , The boss.

Hearing the crown prince's words, the four ministers who hadn't paid much attention to it immediately flashed their eyes, and expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.Soldiers with more than three years of military experience can be said to be elite soldiers, and those who have experienced more than ten battles can be said to be the best soldiers among elite soldiers!
Although there are four legions in the imperial capital, among the 160 million people, there must be a division of elite soldiers, but who will gather these elite soldiers together?With so many combat experiences, even if he was originally a private, he is now qualified to be a colonel. With so many officers assembled, the troops below don't have to lead them.

"Is this true?" the prime minister suddenly asked the intelligence chief.

The intelligence chief who was questioned said a little embarrassedly: "The report from the intelligence department has not yet been uploaded." He paused, and then said with some certainty: "However, if this Colonel Zhao Hu is that Colonel Zhao Hu, Then the information he reported should be true, even if there is water, it can't be false."

The prime minister narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Do you know this Colonel Zhao Hu?"

The intelligence chief said first: "I'm not sure yet." Then he bowed to the Crown Prince and asked, "Your Highness, I dare to ask the resume of Colonel Zhao Hu..."

The Crown Prince, who had woken up from the shock and had been paying attention to the minister's conversation, looked at the scroll and said: "The information he reported said that he is the fifth regiment of the fifth brigade of the local security division of the coastal province. Later, he thought that in the border war, the Fifth Regiment was wiped out, and he, who served as a temporary city defense officer, automatically became the chief officer of the resident. Later, due to his military exploits, he was temporarily appointed as the chief officer of the Fifth Regiment by the head of the Coast Guard Division. Promoted to Colonel."

It stands to reason that the Crown Prince cannot do such a job like a clerk, but the scroll is in his hands, and there is no one else except the four ministers. The Crown Prince, who doesn't want to appear too arrogant, can only do this job.

The intelligence chief clapped his hands: "That's right, it's him, so he should indeed have [-] elite soldiers in his hands now."

The chief of the gendarmerie asked very puzzled: "What? Is this Colonel Zhao Hu very powerful?"

The intelligence chief nodded: "It's really powerful. He was the marshal's personal soldier at first, and then..." The intelligence chief told the story of Zhao Hu leading a brigade across the prairie.

After taking a peek at the marshal, the crown prince opened his mouth and said, "Decree to allow Zhao Hu to expand his troops to the level of a legion." Just keep the rank of major general for now, and wait for him to make contributions before he can be promoted."

"Well, Your Highness is wise." The prime minister and others nodded in approval.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his proposal, the crown prince felt a little proud, and began to say what he had been looking forward to for a long time: "When we issue this order, shouldn't we show our strength to the world? Let the world understand that only we are orthodox, and those rebellious officials and thieves are nothing to worry about?"

The prime minister nodded: "Your Highness is right. We really should show our strength. What do you think, Marshal?"

The marshal stood up and said, "Because the soldiers have just finished training, in the early stage, the subordinate officials thought it would be best to find a weaker opponent to act on."

The crown prince saw that the marshal did not object.Immediately smiled excitedly: "It's natural, the persimmon still needs to be squeezed softly. Chief of Intelligence, please tell us, which target we should attack now."

The intelligence chief got up and saluted and said: "Yes, Your Highness, my lords, I think that our current target should be the Xiangdong Province in the east. This province is controlled by the three Qi clans, and the total strength of the entire province is about three legions." , is the weakest of the provinces around the imperial capital. And by taking the Xiangdong Province, we can obtain several large deposits, so that our armaments will no longer be infested, and we can build our own weapons."

Hearing this, the prime minister's heart trembled, because he was also a relative.However, as the prime minister for many years, he treated all the princes equally, and almost no one would regard him as a foreign relative. Thinking of this, the prime minister regained his peace of mind.

"Okay! The first part of our dispatch is the capital township Dongxing Province! I must capture those warlord families alive!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gritted his teeth and said jumpingly, with hatred shining in his eyes.In the past, he, the signature prince who was destined to give way to his younger brother, was often bullied by these relatives.

The four ministers all understood the Crown Prince's mentality in making the request, and the four ministers did not object to this request. Anyway, after the New Year.He is the king of his own people.

And this request is not difficult, why not make the future master happy?
As the order was issued, the imperial capital, which had been quiet for a long time, began to open its minions. The forces around the imperial capital immediately went on alert, and the envoys also began to run around, calling for friends and friends to prepare to resist the violent attack of the imperial capital.

Everyone knows that the imperial capital is actually a combination of military camps, treasuries, and warehouses. When such a combination shows its capabilities, no one dares to underestimate it.

Coastal provinces.

Because the Lu family's large-scale Hui soldiers attracted the surrounding warlords to follow and increase their troops helplessly, and when the eastern part of the province was about to explode, the enemy the Lu family provoked—Colonel Zhao Hu, ordered two infantry brigades and a cavalry regiment, Leaving the beach aggressively, he went straight to Lu's territory.

During the expedition of Zhao Hu's troops, there was a small warlord who was not open-eyed and wanted to compete, but he was beaten badly by Zhao Hu's troops in an instant.

As soon as this powerful offensive came out, and Zhao Hu's troops stated that they were only looking for trouble with the Lu family, the surrounding warlords stopped at the border of the forces, watching the actions of Zhao Hu's troops vigilantly.

The Lu family went berserk now, for a small piece of land, he recruited nearly 15 soldiers out of it.

However, such a mob was defeated just by meeting Zhao Hu's troops. The soldiers of the Lu family who fled in all directions threw away their weapons and uniforms, and immediately became ordinary people. The unpopular Lu family was instantly captured by his The people abandoned.

Zhao Hu's army was like entering an uninhabited land, and they fought until the Lu family's base area before they were resisted. However, under the battle of Zhao Hu's powerful and inhuman army, they were quickly wiped out, and the marching time on the road was deducted. It only took Zhao Hujun three days to destroy the Lu family.

In Zhao Hujun, a strict household registration system began to be implemented, members and officials of the Lu family were reduced to slaves and untouchables, the people in the territory of the Lu family were reduced to common people, and some officials and people who took refuge in Zhao Hujun were promoted to low people, common people or upper people, and began to count When it was time for material goods, the surrounding warlords thought they could be fishermen, and dispatched elite troops to take advantage of the fire to loot.

However, they obviously didn't expect the ferocity of Zhao Hu's army when protecting food. As soon as they discovered the enemy's invasion, Zhao Hu's army was like a tiger descending a mountain. Pounce on the fastest enemy army, and defeat this group of enemy troops with a simple thrust. The cavalry regiment followed closely behind the infantry, and immediately started chasing and killing them.

And the infantry brigade that completed the pursuit mission then showed a frightening marching speed, unexpectedly maintaining a galloping speed, crossing tens of kilometers without stopping, and very suddenly plunged into a group that thought that Zhao Hujun was still in the sky, and had already let down his vigilance the heart of the enemy.

This group of enemy troops was even worse than the last group of enemy troops. The army chief was killed immediately, and most of the chaotic soldiers were killed. It was not until Zhao Hujun's cavalry regiment caught up that they were released by Zhao Hujun's infantry brigade.

In this way, Zhao Hu's army completely defeated the several groups of warlords who came to take advantage of it, relying on the terrifying assembly and marching speed, accurate intelligence data, and the two tactics of infantry stabbing cavalry to kill.

If it weren't for Zhao Hu's army's insufficient strength, I'm afraid they would counterattack and enter the enemy's territory.However, this shortcoming of Zhao Hujun made the surrounding warlords feel very lucky.In short, these warlords who steal chickens and lose money do not dare to show their paws to Zhao Hujun at this stage.

So, after Zhao Hujun replaced the Lu family strongly and hurt the surrounding warlords, the entire east of the province settled down.

Seeing that the source of the turmoil had stabilized, the other warlords in Coastal Province breathed a sigh of relief, and began to disband the young men who had been forcibly recruited, and let these young men return to their original places, and continued to provide money, material and equipment for these warlords.

The original castle of the Lu family is now the residence of Zhao Hu, in the martial arts arena.

Peter, who vaguely became the head of the civil servants of Zhao Hu's warlord, saluted Zhao Hu and said, "My lord, most of the civil servants in the southeast peninsula have been dispatched here, but the number of our troops is too small. There are only two soldiers in such a large area." For a regular brigade, both defense and offense are too tense."

"I would like to invite my lord to transfer three brigades from the southeast peninsula, so that we will have the strength of a regular division."

Zhao Hu put away his weapon.After taking the towel from Zhou Wen, he wiped off his sweat and asked, "How much can the troops on the southeast peninsula use?"
