Valley Emperor

Hearing Dong Songan's words in desperation, Huang Jiashi smiled: Third sister? This is what you said by yourself, we didn't say where the Empress is ranked.

I also said one sentence from the beginning to the end, but you yourself said the word "three sisters". Isn't that just not asking yourself.

And the Queen Mother also mentioned that she has three brothers and sisters, one brother and one sister, but the ranking of large families is generally not only calculated by direct brothers and sisters, but also by cousins, especially the Dong family. Species that have not been separated.

Counting her second uncle's children, Dong Yunyun ranked third among the Dong family's siblings.

The third sister that Dong Songan was talking about was definitely the empress!

Looking at Huang Jiashi's playful smile, Dong Songan is also a smart person. He still didn't know that he had leaked his mouth. When he thought about his previous panic behavior, he would definitely not be able to hide it from these people in front of him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look depressed.

If his third sister really became the fake queen of Tang Dynasty, then for their Dong family, it would undoubtedly be a disaster of extermination of the family.

This is how to do ah?

Dong Songan froze in place, and Huang Jiashi then said: "There are other people in your family, I wonder if you can introduce them on your behalf?"

Huang Jiashi said so, but the whole person has already stepped forward two steps. Looking at this posture, even if Dong Songan does not recommend him, he is planning to break in.

Dong Songan just wanted to open his mouth to stop, saying that it was inconvenient to have female relatives in the room, but he didn't say it when the words came to his mouth. Now that the matter has come, what's the point of him blocking these people from entering?

He could only sigh lightly, and then took Huang Jiashi and others in.

There were no big surprises in the wait. The appearance of Huang Jiashi and the words he said of the country's uncle once again shocked Old Man Dong, Dong Bode and others. Old Man Dong even fainted on the spot.

And Qu Guangtai said something ignorantly, Old Man Dong's surprises were too much, so he fainted.

Surprise hair, this is obviously frightened!

Huang Jiashi didn't "surprise" them at the Dong family for too long. After greeting the Dong family, he sent someone back to Xingquan Mansion to report to Li Xuan, asking for instructions on how to arrange these Dong family members.

The next day, after Li Xuan received the report, he also had some headaches about how to arrange these Dong family members.

Because Huang Jiashi's report did not hide it at all, and the reactions and attitudes of the Dong family were written in the report.

Huang Jiashi said that the people of the Dong family did not show much joy when their daughter became the empress of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, they were extremely frightened and even refused to accept the matter. They said several times that their eldest daughter of the Dong family had passed away last year. already died.

Seeing Huang Jiashi's report, this made Li Xuan feel a little troublesome.

To be honest, he can understand the thoughts of the Dong family. After all, the Dong family is a scholarly family, and it is also an official family. Some people are officials in the court. This suddenly has a relationship with the rebels, and the queen of the rebels It's still their Dong family, this is a disaster for them.

But it doesn't really matter what the Dong family thinks. The important thing is that after finding them, he can give Dong Yunyun an explanation.

If these Dong family members are allowed to escape, Dong Yunyun's identity will be exposed in the future, and none of these Dong family members will survive, and they will all be smashed by the Ming Dynasty.

The Zhu Jiu clan is no joke!

So you have to leave them first!

He immediately sent someone to Guanghe Village and asked Huang Jiashi to bring the Dong family back to settle down.

As for how to arrange these Dong family members in the future, we will have to wait until Dong Yunyun arrives at Xingquan Mansion. After all, this matter is not important to Li Xuan to be honest. If it wasn't for taking care of Dong Yunyun's feelings, he would be too lazy to pay attention to the Dong family members. Woolen cloth.

Let Dong Yunyun and the Dong family decide for themselves where the Dong family will go in the future!

After Huang Jiashi received the order, he quickly brought the Dong family members back to Xingquan City. As for whether the Dong family members were willing or not during this process, it didn't really matter, because Huang Jiashi brought dozens of arresters along the way. 'escort' them back to Xingquan City.

The matter of the Dong family did not involve too much of Li Xuan's energy. He only asked a question occasionally in the past few days. His time is very precious. He is busy with many military and political affairs every day, but he does not have much time to think about the people of the Dong family. how do you feel.

Hearing that Huang Jiashi said that the Dong family had settled down, he nodded slightly: "Keep watching!"

After all, Li Xuan completely left the Dong family behind and strode directly into the strategic meeting room of the Privy Council.

Following the guard's voice, he sang: "His Majesty is here!"

In the strategic conference room, more than 20 officers of the Datang New Army turned around in unison and bowed down.

Li Xuan immediately waved his hand: "Don't need too much courtesy!"

However, although this kneeling ceremony is no longer needed, these people still dare not forget it.

When he was talking, he had already walked to the dragon chair placed on the top, and after sitting down, he raised his hand slightly and pressed down: "Flat body!"

At this time, many officers stood up straight!

Li Xuan glanced at Zeng Ziwen and said, "Let's start, let's talk about the situation of the troops first."

The topic to be discussed today has been set a few days ago, and that is to formulate the next strategic action plan of the Datang New Army.

Whether to fight, where to fight, and how to fight, these are all issues that need to be discussed in today's imperial strategy meeting.

Zeng Ziwen, as the chief officer of the Department of Operations, was the general in charge of the training and operations of the entire army. In today's situation, it was natural for him to assume the role of the host of the meeting.

I saw him take a step forward, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, after this period of rest and replenishment, the original units have fully recovered their combat effectiveness before crossing the river. At the same time, according to the plan of expanding the army, we have adopted a method of gradual expansion. The 1st Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Infantry Battalion, the 6th Infantry Battalion, and the 7th Infantry Battalion have been expanded to a limited extent. At present, the 1st Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Infantry Battalion have completed the expansion of the entire battalion and can be fully staffed. Get into battle anytime!"

"The new fifth team of the 6th Infantry Battalion and the 7th Infantry Battalion is currently being integrated, and it is expected that the expansion will be completed in five days!"

The sixth and seventh infantry battalions mentioned by Zeng Ziwen are actually the former first mixed battalion and second mixed battalion.

The reason why they chose to give priority to the expansion of the above four battalions is because these four battalions are the current core main force of the Datang New Army, and it is reasonable to give priority to the expansion.

Zeng Ziwen continued: "The remaining 3rd Infantry Battalion, 4th Infantry Battalion, and 5th Infantry Battalion are also continuing to rest and expand, and the expansion is expected to be completed in a month."

"The new 8th Infantry Battalion, 9th Infantry Battalion, and 10th Infantry Battalion are currently under preparation. Affected by the shortage of soldiers, it is expected that the time for the arrival of the soldiers may be delayed, and the accompanying muskets will also take time. Therefore, these three The battalion is expected to form an army in two months!"

"The two garrison battalions are in good condition, the first garrison battalion is fully staffed, and the new second garrison battalion is also intensifying training!"

As Zeng Ziwen explained the details of each battalion, everyone also had an intuitive understanding of the current state of the new army of the Tang Dynasty.

Twelve days have passed since the capture of Xingquan Mansion. During this period of time, the Datang New Army did not waste a day, expanding its forces as much as possible.

And it has also achieved a lot of results, at least four main battalions have completed the expansion!

After talking about the basic situation of each battalion and each team, Zeng Ziwen took out a preparation document and continued: "According to His Majesty's will, our combat division has completed the detailed planning and deployment of the four infantry regiments!" Said At this point, Zeng Ziwen glanced at Li Xuan.

After seeing Li Xuan nodded slightly, Zeng Ziwen continued: "According to the size of our army and subsequent strategic needs, we have formed a total of four infantry regiments.

The 1st Infantry Regiment has jurisdiction over the 1st Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Infantry Battalion, the 3rd Infantry Battalion, the 1st Reconnaissance Cavalry Team, the 1st Carriage Team, and the 1st Battalion Artillery Team.

The 2nd Infantry Regiment has jurisdiction over the 4th Infantry Battalion, the 5th Infantry Battalion, the 6th Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Reconnaissance Cavalry Team, the 2nd Baggage Team, and the 2nd Battalion Artillery Team.

The 3rd Infantry Regiment has jurisdiction over the 7th Infantry Battalion, the 8th Infantry Battalion, the 9th Infantry Battalion, the 3rd Reconnaissance Cavalry, the 3rd Baggage, and the 3rd Battalion Artillery.

The Fourth Infantry Regiment has jurisdiction over the tenth infantry battalion, the first garrison battalion, the second garrison battalion, the fourth scout cavalry team, the fourth baggage team, and the fourth battalion artillery team. "

The formation of these four infantry regiments did not surprise many people, because many people had expected that the four infantry regiments would be organized according to the order of the infantry battalions.

Looking at the troop affiliation of these four infantry regiments, the most powerful is naturally the 1st Infantry Regiment, which has two main battalions, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion is also an old army, and the scout cavalry in the 1st Infantry Regiment The first team and the first team of battalion artillery are also the only full-scale reconnaissance cavalry and battalion artillery units in the new army of the Tang Dynasty.

Most of the reconnaissance cavalry teams in the other infantry regiments are only a dozen or 20 cavalry. As for the battalion guns, they are only empty shelves. Recently, four 150-pound battalion guns were sent from Zhengtai County~www.wuxiaspot .com~ were taken away by the 1st Battalion Artillery Team.

The other battalions of artillery teams can only use those bowl-mouthed artillery captured from the Ming army for the time being.

In the previous battles, the new army of the Tang Dynasty captured a lot of Ming army's bowl-mouth cannons of various styles and sizes. Those too small are naturally discarded, but there are also some bowls with relatively large caliber and power. Mouth gun, barely used first.

The 1st Infantry Regiment is the main force. Among the other three Infantry Regiments, the 2nd Infantry Regiment is second, and the 6th Infantry Battalion, the main battalion of the former 1st Mixed Battalion, is the base. The 4th Infantry Battalion is also a ready-made unit, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion Although the 5th Infantry Battalion was just established, the 5th Infantry Battalion was formed by directly recruiting troops from each battalion. Many of the soldiers in it were veterans, and their combat effectiveness was not bad.

As for the 3rd Infantry Regiment, it is a little worse, because the existing infantry battalion has only one 7th Infantry Battalion, and the 8th Infantry Battalion and the 9th Infantry Battalion are still under construction.

As for the 4th Infantry Regiment, the two battalions in it are garrison battalions with cold weapons as the mainstay, and the only regular battalion, the 10th Infantry Battalion, is still under preparation, and the soldiers just don't know where they are!

Therefore, if the new army of the Tang Dynasty is going to launch a military operation now, it will inevitably take the 1st Infantry Regiment as the core and the 2nd Infantry Regiment as the auxiliary.

After introducing the basic situation of the troops, Zeng Ziwen chaired the discussion on the follow-up strategic issues. They needed a direction to advance!

"My Xingquan Mansion is located at the junction of Guizhou, Huguang and Guangxi provinces, with Liping Mansion in Guizhou to the west and north, Liuzhou Mansion of Guangxi to the south and southeast, and Jingzhou of Huguang to the east.

And the follow-up direction of our army's march is also to choose from these three places!

But where to start? To Liping House or Liuzhou House or Jingzhou?
