Valley Emperor

In this interview, Hao Bainian, on behalf of the Datang military, highly praised the Cen family for supplying military rations, saying that the Cen family is a good friend of the Datang military!

At the same time, the Cen family was invited to send their direct descendants into the army. Cen Fan said that it was a great honor for the Cen descendants to serve the King of the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to His Majesty. Soon, a direct descendant and a number of collateral descendants would be selected from the family. Join the Master of the Tang Dynasty and fight for the Tang Dynasty!

The Cen family is so knowledgeable, and they have indeed made great efforts in supplying military rations to solve the food crisis for the troops of the King of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the Datang Dynasty will not treat the Cen family in Huaiyuan County badly, although Wuxuan County has not taken it yet. However, the edict that the Tang Dynasty canonized the family as the chieftain of Wuxuan County had already been given to the Cen family in Huaiyuan County in advance.

According to the official documents of the Tang Dynasty, the Cen family in Huaiyuan County was already the Tusi family in Wuxuan County, and had the right to rule the local aborigines.

It didn't take long for the Cen family to see this in Huaiyuan County. The canonization edict was already in hand, and it was immediately unambiguous. The change of hands means that in addition to the 2,000-stone grain trade next month, their Cen family will give an additional batch for free. The strategic materials are given to the Tang Dynasty, and the right to honor His Majesty Li Xuan as a tribute!

Someone gave something for free, and the Tang Dynasty naturally accepted it with a smile. By the way, he also asked the Cen family if he could pay today's taxes in advance?

Don't need cash, or just use food and various materials to offset the account!

But this time, the Cen family in Huaiyuan County politely refused. There is no other way. They are just a business family. Although they are one of the few big grain merchants in Guangxi, they are rich, but they can't stand the free gifts. , Continue to send it like this, and their family will have to be tossed first.

After dealing with the matter of the Cen family, Hao Bainian, as the commander-in-chief of the army going south, held a joint civil and military meeting with a group of senior generals, some civilian officials who had gone south ahead of schedule, and civilian officers from the Privy Council.

This meeting was naturally held for Liuzhou Fucheng.

At the meeting, civil servants, especially officials from the Ministry of Industry, said that in order to successfully open workshops in Liuzhou City to produce weapons in the future, a large number of ordinary laborers are needed. casualties.

At the same time, people from the Ministry of War said that the Ministry of War has completed the screening of prisoners of war. Among the 3,600 prisoners of war captured in the Anjia Wharf Battle, 3,000 people have taken the initiative to join the Datang King Division, and some of them have special 400 prisoners of war with good skills and quality will be optimally added to the 1st Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, 2nd Artillery Battalion, 2nd Baggage Regiment, etc., and will also be supplemented by 600 people to the 3rd garrison. Brigade battalions to supplement the loss of personnel during the southward operation of the southward troops.

At the same time, the Ordnance Department also stated that the weapons with good quality will be selected from the many weapons captured and supplemented to the troops going south!

After such a supplement, the troops of the southward troops have once again returned to their peak state when they went south. Although the two arms of the cavalry and artillery are still in a state of serious dissatisfaction, the infantry troops have returned to full capacity. member.

Some of the remaining prisoners of war and ordnance will be added to the 7th Infantry Regiment, and some will be used to form the 9th Garrison Regiment.

As for the remaining 600 prisoners of war among the 3,600 prisoners, some were unwilling to surrender to the puppet pirates of the Tang Dynasty, while others were so poor in all aspects that even the garrison did not want them. These people will be sent to the Ministry of Industry, and in the future, these 600 people will become the first batch of free workers in the many workshops opened by the Ministry of Industry of Datang in Liuzhou.

Regardless of whether they are willing or not, in the workshop of the Ministry of Work, they will all use the remaining value of their lives to contribute to the rise of the Tang Dynasty!

However, the 600 captives, Hao Bainian, naturally don't care. What they are more concerned about is that with the initial construction of the 7th Infantry Regiment and the initial construction of the 9th Garrison Regiment, the strength of the troops in Guangxi will be further increased. This will also bring greater tactical advantages for them to attack Liuzhou and even follow-up operations.

Even the jurisdiction of these newly established troops does not lie with Hao Bainian!

In order to better prepare for the establishment of these new troops, but also to better enable these newly established troops to form combat effectiveness faster, and also to undertake combat tasks to a certain extent, a lecturer sent by the Hanlin Academy announced on the spot that Li Xuan's handwritten decree of appointment!

After a series of meaningless nonsense, Shengyi finally said that Li Chunjing was appointed as the brigade commander of the 4th Infantry Brigade, and Li Chunjing was promoted to the 6th Army Major General.

There is not only the imperial decree to appoint and promote Li Chunjing, but also the imperial decree to appoint the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff of the Fourth Infantry Brigade.

The candidates for the head of the two infantry regiments of the Fourth Infantry Brigade had already been decided in advance and had already taken office early.

At the same time, it is also clearly stipulated in the imperial edict that the soldiers of the Fourth Infantry Brigade will be dominated by the natives, which will be an important step for the Datang Dynasty to recruit and use the natives of Guangxi to join the army, and try to form an army belonging to the Tang Dynasty. Army troops.

At the same time, since Guangxi will also recruit a large number of Han soldiers, and these soldiers are only used to replenish the first infantry brigade, it is not realistic to set up another infantry brigade in Guangxi. Therefore, These newly recruited and later recruited soldiers will establish the Second Guards Battalion and the Third Guards Battalion. These two infantry battalions will rebuild the Guards together with the existing First Guards Battalion!

And this Guard is not under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. It will be commanded by Emperor Li Xuan in person, and will not easily participate in the combat missions of the front-line troops. The safety of His Majesty is the most important task.

Of course, the rebuilding of the Guards has nothing to do with Hao Bainian, or even with many departments of the Privy Council, because the rebuilding of the Guards will be directly undertaken by the existing Guards departments. The supply does not go through the Ordnance Department, and the source of troops does not go through the Ministry of War and the Training Department of the Privy Council, but the internal organs of the Guard are responsible for themselves.

Even military expenses are spent separately!

This will be an independent force from the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty, and in Li Xuan's mind, this force is not limited to the 6th Army, infantry, etc. It will be an independent force, just to protect itself , The armed forces that exist to control and defend the royal family will have cavalry, artillery and other arms in the future, and even if necessary, they will also have their own surface armed forces such as warships.

Of course, the scale cannot be too large. The current size of the Guard is only one battalion. Even if it is planned to build two battalions, it will only have three battalions in the near future. Even if it continues to expand in the future, But the total strength is at most between 10,000 and 20,000 people.

However, the scale of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty will expand with the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, and in the end, it may expand to hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Hao Bainian and others could see from the way the Guards were rebuilt that this would be a very special unit, not something they could intervene in.

So he didn't care at all, and he didn't dare to care about the formation of two guard infantry battalions in Liuzhou Mansion.

Even in the upcoming battle of Liuzhou, these Guards will not participate at all, even the newly established Fourth Infantry Brigade will not participate.

The Battle of Liuzhou City will still be a battle dominated by the 1st Soldier Brigade and the 3rd Guard Brigade.

The 4th Infantry Brigade currently only has a higher-level structure. There are only more than 1,000 recruits. These recruits have not even completed their training and have not formed an army at all. Therefore, they have only taken over the tasks of the 3rd Guards Brigade and are stationed in Huaiyuan County and Rong County. .

On the other hand, the fifth garrison brigade, because there are already 2,000 Ming troops surrendered, after a little reorganization, it can be directly used as cannon fodder on the battlefield!

Therefore, the fifth garrison brigade will participate in the battle of Liuzhou, even if they are just cannon fodder!

Then, some local chieftains were recruited. The local chieftains resisted the arrival of the Tang Dynasty at first, but after the fiasco of the Ming army, the chieftains in Liuzhou immediately turned around and expressed their allegiance to the Tang Dynasty. .

Anyway, there is no risk for them. In the future, when the Ming Dynasty comes back, they will still be toasts!

Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, these chieftains are mainly to win over.

In order to show their allegiance, these chieftains also obeyed the orders of the Tang Dynasty, and each dispatched different numbers of soldiers to fight.

If these soldiers add up, the total number is about 1,500, and their leader is the more prestigious chieftain Cen Shouji in Liuzhou.

Of course, in order to control this extra-staff troop of the Great Tang King Division, and also to better cooperate in combat, the Great Tang King Division dispatched several liaison officers to this troop~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but only limited to Liaison officers have been dispatched, but they will not intervene in the operations of these military units in detail.

In other words, the Master of the Tang Dynasty can order them to fight, but how to fight, the Master of the Tang Dynasty does not care, these chieftains have the power to fight independently.

Well, the military troops recruited by the Ming Dynasty are generally in this model. Guangxi Governor Weiyan can order the military troops to fight, but in fact Weiyan will not specifically intervene in the wars of the soldiers.

If it is calculated like this, the Datang King Division participating in the battle of Liuzhou City will have most of the troops of the 1st Infantry Brigade, most of the troops of the 3rd Guard Brigade, and the 9th Guard Regiment of the 5th Guard Brigade, and The 2nd Cavalry Battalion, the 2nd Artillery Battalion, the 2nd Transportation Regiment, Liuzhou Tusi Bing and other auxiliary units.

In addition, the Navy will also provide surface support for the Liuzhou City campaign. For this reason, the Navy has specially established the Liujiang Fleet, leading all five surface gunboats and a number of auxiliary ships of the Navy to participate in the battle to provide support for the 6th Army and Maintain the safety of surface supply lines.

If it is calculated like this, the total force of the Datang King Division directly involved in the Liuzhou Fucheng battle will reach more than 13,000.

If some of the troops in the periphery are also included, in fact, in all the troops in Guangxi, except for the thousand people who entered Guizhou eastward, the others were directly or indirectly involved in this kind of battle, and the total force would reach more than 16,000. What about people.

From this, it can be seen that the Master of the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to attacking Liuzhou Fucheng!

In order to conquer Liuzhou as soon as possible, the kings of the Tang Dynasty carried out intensive pre-war preparations on the eve of the Spring Festival, and on the first day of the second year of Xuanping (the 42nd year of Zhengde in the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, 1547 in the Western calendar), that is, the New Year On the first day of the first day, the general offensive against Liuzhou Fucheng was officially launched!
