Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 185 Coming Out of the Mountain ([-])

After Qiu Tianxing gave the order, the entire headquarters quickly started to operate.The Ministry of Civil Affairs recruited 700 strong men from various villages.With the cooperation of the comrades of the Political Propaganda Department and the leadership of the comrades of the Peasant Association Farm Guard, these [-] elites were placed in [-] places in units of [-] people.

Today there are about 3000 regiments in the Guards Battalion, Third Battalion, Fifth Battalion, and Seventh Battalion.Except for the [-] soldiers of the Guards Battalion, the [-] people of the other three battalions were all scattered and joined the thirty brigades, and these old men would become officers of these brigades.After training in the next month, a group of people will be eliminated, and then these brigades will be considered as troops.

The expansion of the entire team weakened the combat power too much, so just in case, Qiu Tianxing left the guard battalion without expansion.Thirty brigades can be reorganized into five columns, three battalions, one battalion and one column, and the remaining brigades can be organized into reserve battalions.

After the military arrangements were made, the information office began to get busy.Because Qiu Tianxing's plan was to send troops out of Lu'an Prefecture, the Foreign Affairs Section of the Information Department had to arrange a large number of people to monitor every move of the Lu'an Prefecture tartars.

Before the soldiers and horses move the food and grass, the food and grass must be prepared outside the mountain when the army is still deep in the mountains, otherwise the army will fall into food shortage after leaving the mountain.

Marching a large army is a very troublesome thing. Not only does it need to organize the team, plan the marching route, but also a lot of food, shoes, socks, tents, and tools for repairing bridges and paving roads.In addition, as a soldier, you must carry weapons and tools for building siege equipment before attacking the city.The army pulled out the camp at sunrise, and the army set up camp after sunset. It was very troublesome to stop and go.But this has to be done. If you don’t set up camp, you may be attacked by the enemy. Even if the weather is getting colder, many people will die of frostbite and freeze, resulting in a large number of non-combat attrition.

Fortunately, after two years of dedicated development, there are now thousands of capable people in the headquarters.They either serve as military officers at all levels of the army, or they work as civilians in various departments for overall planning.They will be the cornerstone of the revival and growth of the headquarters.

The day's troubles passed, and Qiu Tianxing returned home before dark.At this time, his wife Zhou Xiu had already prepared dinner and was calling for her son Qiu Dining to come home for dinner.

Seeing his son squatting downstairs playing, Qiu Tianxing was filled with joy.In a blink of an eye, my son is two years old, and he has been in this deep mountain for two years, so it's time to go out.

Although he was very happy to see his son, Qiu Tianxing remembered Zhou Xiu's instructions, so he could only put on a straight face and act as a strict father.

Seeing his father returning home with a serious face, Qiu Dining stood up and shouted timidly.

"Daddy!"

"Well, go home for dinner!" Although he liked hearing his son's baby voice, Qiu Tianxing still said seriously.

After hearing Qiu Tianxing's words, the aunt of the Wu family who was watching Qiu Dining hurriedly carried Qiu Dining upstairs.

During the meal, Zhou Xiu hesitated several times and wanted to say something, but finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Is the regiment headquarters really going out this time?"

Hearing what Zhou Xiu said, Qiu Tianxing simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"That's right, we're really going out this time. The battalions outside are fighting with the Tartars in full swing, but the regiment headquarters is hiding in the mountains. It's unreasonable not to go out."

Regarding Zhou Xiu, Qiu Tianxing said this.In fact, everyone knows the real reason, that is, the better the development of the battalions outside, the more embarrassing the status of the regiment headquarters, but although everyone knows it, it cannot be said.

"It's time to go out. Ning'er is almost two years old, but she hasn't seen the scenery outside the mountain yet!" Zhou Xiu also sighed, as if recalling the days outside the mountain.Although the scenery in the mountains is beautiful, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there are times when you get tired of looking at it.The real comfortable life is still outside the mountains.

"At that time, I will lead the troops out of the mountain first, and I will take your mother out after the base area I have laid is stable." After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianxing kept silent, and he picked up his rice bowl and continued to eat.

In the past two years, Qiu Tianxing has practiced very well in this Qi Cultivation Kungfu, not to mention anything else, and he feels a little bit calm and prestige.

"Yes." Zhou Xiu replied.Although she still had some things to ask, she knew it was wrong to ask.Ever since Zhou Xiu exhorted Qiu Tianxing that time, the relationship between the two has never returned to the way it was before.Gradually, Qiu Tianxing brought his work attitude into the home, which made the family life a lot more serious, and he no longer had the relaxed feeling he once had.But Zhou Xiu didn't regret it, she was educated since she was a child that husband should guide wife, so Qiu Tianxing's attitude is normal.

Time passed day by day, and it was September in the seventh year of Huaxing in a blink of an eye. The weather was getting colder and the mountain would be covered by heavy snow if we didn't go out.

Qiu Tianxing arranged who would stay in the camp after the expedition. After all, apart from the more than 5 soldiers who went on the expedition, there were tens of thousands of people around the camp, so someone had to stay in the camp after the army left.After thinking about it several times, Qiu Tianxing decided to let Zhang Zhuangcheng, Minister of Public Security, stay in the camp.On the one hand, the Ministry of Public Security is armed with hundreds of people, which is the most powerful force except for the four battalions.Secondly, Qiu Tianxing still trusts Zhang Zhuangcheng, after all, the two have known each other for six years.In the past three years, Qiu Tianxing also kept Wu Gen, the chief of the internal affairs department, which is the most important point.

The soldiers are furious, the knives are sharpened, and everything is just to kill the Tartars and seize the city.

The operation of going out of the mountain began. On the way out of the mountain that had already been proven, the engineers widened the mountain road a lot.Troops filed out one by one, walked out of the mountains and returned to this troubled world.In order to go out of the mountain, the Ministry of Civil Affairs also prepared a large number of herbal medicines to prevent mosquitoes and insects, but even if the preparations were sufficient, the number of staff was constantly reduced along the way.However, after dropping hundreds of corpses, most of the regiment finally walked out of the mountains.

Looking at the sky beyond the mountain, Qiu Tianxing took a deep breath.

"It finally came out!" Qiu Tianxing sighed in his heart.Although it has been less than two years since entering the mountain, it seems like a lifetime has passed.

After the vanguard came out of the mountain, they quickly controlled the area with a radius of more than ten miles, and arrested everyone they encountered to ensure that the news of the security team's departure from the mountain would not be known to the Tartars.

After leaving the mountain, the security team came to Huoshan County, Lu'an Prefecture.In Huoshan County, the Political Propaganda Department has also established bases for dozens of villages, all of which are near the Dabie Mountains.So, under the cover of these villages, the headquarters army temporarily settled down.It's just that Qiu Tianxing knows that such a large-scale military operation can only be concealed for a while, so the top priority is to take a rest and quickly take Lu'an Prefecture.

Now the First Battalion is in Yingzhou Mansion in the north of Lu'an Prefecture. If Lu'an Prefecture can be captured, it can be connected with the First Battalion. With the First Battalion at its back, the headquarters' attack will be much more convenient.

So Qiu Tianxing ordered: "Every battalion should take time to rest, and soldiers will send troops to Huoshan County tomorrow!"
