Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 301 Before the Great War ([-])

Jiangnan Province, Jinling Regiment Headquarters.At this moment, it was cold and windy outside the house, and it was as warm as spring inside, but Qiu Tianxing was burying his head in reviewing documents and frowning.After a while, perhaps because he had lowered his head for a long time, Qiu Tianxing felt a discomfort in his cervical spine, so he stopped working, raised his head and moved his neck, and rubbed his sore eyes by the way.

The hurried footsteps and deep voices of the secretaries came from outside the door, it was obvious that everyone was very busy.At this time, Qiu Tianxing felt that he was thirsty, and he didn't ask anyone to come in, so he got up and poured a glass of water himself.

Although government affairs are busy at this time, they are not as busy as military affairs.Following the information from the various local departments of the Military Intelligence Department, it was clear that the heroes in the south had formed a large net and were about to launch an offensive against the security regiment.At this time, the best way is to attack first, destroy the enemy's siege, or send envoys to win over a certain party.However, in the military committee, many members believed that the most urgent task is to digest the new base in Zhejiang, because the foundation of the security team accumulated for many years has been consumed in sevens and eighties because of the Zhejiang war.

If you launch an offensive against the enemy without authorization, if the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and other relevant departments are not well prepared, the final result will be that you win the tactics and lose the strategy. After all, the construction of a new base requires massive material and manpower input. .

In the end, the military committee unanimously decided that this battle will be mainly defensive and counterattack. While stationing a large number of troops on the border, they will continue to digest the new base in Zhejiang, and strive to make the Zhejiang territory truly the strength of the security regiment in the coming year, and be able to serve the security forces. Regiments provide more men and wealth.

Fortunately, because the forces of all parties are far away from each other, coupled with interest reasons, it is impossible to reach a unified understanding for a while.So this time dragged on month by month, until the end of September.Just when all parties finally reached an agreement, the weather gradually cooled down.It takes time to deploy soldiers, collect food and grass, build weapons, prepare tents, bedding, and clothing.Although these things are available on weekdays, once you go out to fight, the damage rate of weapons will double due to the cold weather, and the required supplies will be more than doubled or tripled.Even ordinary people have a thousand days at home, and it's hard to say a day out, let alone an extremely delicate army?

In this way, for the security team, it seems that this war will be postponed fortunately, but even if it is postponed, after next year's spring plowing, this war will definitely break out.

Although the military council has rejected the strategy of attacking first, it is still possible to send envoys to win or deceive.So the newly established Department of Foreign Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs began to take action, and teams brought gifts and Xu Ruo to all parties in the south.Even if it is impossible to win over these forces, let them not work very hard in the battle and let them hesitate to preserve their strength, so that the mission of the Department of Foreign Affairs will be completed.

The envoy of the Department of Foreign Affairs didn't come back for a while after he went out, but news of banditry has been frequently heard on the southern border of the Security Corps recently.In fact, everyone knows whether they are bandits or not. Under the strict defenses of the security regiment's agricultural guards, joint defense team, public security team, and then the main combat troops stationed in the county, it is difficult for simple bandits to have a chance of survival.Only the Home Returning Group supported by the rest of the forces repeatedly attacked villages and towns, but the impact was not great.This banditry has looted dozens of villages and several towns, their wealth has been looted, and the villagers have been almost killed.Such a large number of casualties is also not available in the general returning home regiment, so the high-level members of the security regiment know that the hostile forces in the south are sending troops at this time.

Although the weather is getting colder and it is difficult to dispatch large troops, some elite troops can still come and go.Most of the main force of the security regiment is stationed in the city, which can save the construction cost of the camp.So these small enemy elite troops can gallop around in the wild and kill everywhere.But they dare to do this at the border. If they go deeper, they will be easily dumped by the security team.

In the face of these ferocious enemies, troops from all over the country sent a large number of troops to station in towns at the beginning, but the effect was not obvious later. The enemy chose to flee when they saw the strength of the security regiment, and then killed the rest of the place. The peasant guards with low combat effectiveness are not their opponents.In this way, the security regiment troops lacking horses can only eat ashes behind the enemy.Later, Zhang Chengwu and Zhang Liansheng had no choice but to concentrate the population of some villages and towns on the border into the county.Fortunately, the autumn harvest is over at this time, and the loss is acceptable.

The security team will not repay kindness with kindness, only you will come and go.After being fed up with this uselessness, Zhang Liansheng and Zhang Chengwu also sent elite troops into the enemy area to sweep, specializing in fighting landlords to divide the fields, shaking the foundation of the enemy's rule, and then ran away when the enemy's large troops came.As for the fate of the farmers who have just got the fields and have not been happy for a long time, the regiment members don't care.In the hearts of some black-bellied regiments, it would be better if these peasants were killed by the landlords when they were sticking to the fields, so that the internal contradictions among them would be deeper and the damage to their strength would be greater.

But it is the people who suffer the most from your coming and going. In these border areas, the population has dropped sharply and the economy has regressed. The life of the people is miserable, and they only hope for peace as soon as possible.

Although the security corps moved the villagers from the border into the county seat, the space in the county seat was limited after all, and villagers in many villages had not been properly resettled.In this way, every day Qiu Tianxing could receive reports that some villages were destroyed, houses were burned and villagers were killed. Seeing this, Qiu Tianxing had a headache but had no good solution.There is no end to killing to stop killing, but the killing can be pushed to the border. When the current border land becomes the heartland of the security regiment in the future, then these people living here can truly enjoy peace.Kill, kill a peaceful and prosperous world!

After drinking up the hot water in the cup, Qiu Tian walked to the window and gently opened the window, only to feel a gust of cold wind blowing in.This made Qiu Tianxing's body tremble unconsciously, but he felt much more energetic all of a sudden, and the ignorance in his head was also cleared up a lot.

"After defeating the southern heroes this time, it's time to establish a country! The introduction of the title system without the support of the country name, this is impossible." Looking at the scenery outside the window, Qiu Tianxing thought to himself.

PS: After this war, the security regiment will establish a country. The name of the country has not yet been determined. Currently, there are four pending country names: Qi, Shen, Hua, and Xia.The author survey has been established. I hope that book friends will choose one. The one with the most votes will be the final title. Thank you for your support.
