Chapter 980

Xiao Ning, bu RI Gu De, Zu dashou, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and others, plus 50000 elite troops, are the largest mobile force that the Chinese army can produce at present.

In their words, it means sweeping several provinces, that is, just a few troops.

If they were to rush outside the pass, it would be so many troops.

The Chinese army will not send troops like Daming, often more than 100000 people, because they don't count logistics people in it.

According to Daming's standard of sending troops, every three soldiers must be equipped with one logistics personnel.

The Huaxia army adopts relatively flexible means, which is related to the fact that Liu Yuanqiao and his son are both businessmen. They are originally one of the four major fleets of the canal and have ocean fleets to transport materials for them. In short, they are also a member of the logistics industry and the transportation industry. They know how many tricks there are in this industry and how much potential they have, More clearly.

For official transportation of materials, they forcibly recruit civilian men and catch people to transport, which has low efficiency and high cost. However, the Chinese army has learned from the experience and lessons in this regard and subcontracted their materials to private car dealers and camel gangs to transport materials. Although a lot of money has been spent on the book, the efficiency has been greatly improved and the loss has been greatly reduced, More importantly, the speed is faster and there will be no scene of more than 100000 people.

Therefore, the army led by Xiao Ning is all an army that can be used for combat, rather than an army mixed with a large number of civilian men and strong men.

Xiao Ning is also a rising star in the Chinese army. He thinks he is the best general besides Liu Zongyong. The most important thing is that he is a person trained by the Chinese army. There is no problem in loyalty.

Although sun chuanting, Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and others are all generals and are very capable, he is not Xiao Ning, a Liu family with Miao Hong roots.

Moreover, Xiao Ning is also recognized as a person who has the opportunity to be granted the title of national Duke. This time, he is entrusted with an important task in the hope that he can go further.

For Liu Yuanqiao's great trust and the prince's trust, Xiao Ning made an oath on the spot: "don't break Baicheng! Don't capture Lin Dan, swear not to return!"

Other generals also made a guarantee by patting their chest on the spot. They will do their best to complete the battle.

Zu dashou, Wu Xiang, and others are also enthusiastic and want to do a big job. They joined the Chinese Army later and can be called stepmothers. However, the Chinese army still has only an important task for them, which makes them energetic.

After joining the Chinese army, they are conscientious and uneasy. They are afraid that their stepmothers will be isolated and discriminated against by others. However, after joining here, they found that the Chinese army has a good atmosphere. This is that you have credit, you will come out and you will be punished. All things are based on your real ability.

This makes everything simple. There is no need for intrigue. All their thoughts are spent on war. Zu dashou and others are very pleased, which makes them confident and ready to do some business.

The Chinese Empire sent tens of thousands of elite troops to raid Baicheng. His majesty placed great hopes on it. They all knew that if the war was successful, it would go down in history and have a foothold in the Chinese army.

The mobilization ability of the Chinese army was very strong. It was announced to send troops here. The next day, the army had left the capital and quickly rushed to Baicheng along the official road.

After this army was dispatched, Liu Yuanqiao summoned Hong Chengchou in the imperial study.

Hong Chengzhi led hundreds of thousands of troops to surrender this time. Liu Yuanqiao appointed him as governor and still commanded his original men. His original generals were also under his command, but there were 200000 or 300000 in name.

However, Hong Chengchou was also very knowledgeable. After receiving the support of the resources of the Chinese army, he began to streamline this part of the people. For those who were old, young, sick and disabled, he sent a settlement fee and travel fee to let them go home. He also coordinated with the local government, so that these retired soldiers could be mixed with one post or another in the local place, which made the soldiers happy.

He also succeeded in reducing his army to 100000 people, but the army that can fight is far inferior to the previous Chinese army, but it can be called elite compared with the previous Ming army.

With this army in his hand, Hong Chengchou is confident and confident to sweep the world. This is just a bragging idea. After joining the Chinese army, he was also named count and knighted for his military achievements. He can be called a glorious ancestor.

It's just that Hong Chengchou, a governor, has no specific title and no specific combat mission. Now Liu Yuanqiao officially appoints him as the governor of the three sides, who is responsible for leading troops to Shaanxi, calming the local bandit rebellion and restoring local public security. They also have to take over the whole Shaanxi and develop further to the northwest.

Liu Yuanqiao is an ambitious man. After unifying the world, he intends to expand outward. His ambition is not only to restore the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. If Shaanxi goes West, it is the hometown of the western regions of the Han and Tang Dynasties. If Chinese civilization can be restored in this area, it is a powerful empire.

Nature! Liu Yuanqiao also told Hong Chengchou his thoughts.

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou was very excited. The previous Ming army had no way to expand abroad, which was limited to national strength and logistics. After the rise of the Chinese army, logistics was very strong, and they all had enough money and food to expand abroad and restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which became the supreme glory of every soldier.

But Hong Chengshou was a little embarrassed. He said, "in fact, the minister had made it clear long before he came back. His mother is old. He hopes to go home and support his parents. After a hundred years, his mother will go out of the mountain again and serve the country."

This sentence is really what Hong Chengchou said at the beginning. When he said this sentence, he actually wanted to package himself with filial piety. As a Ming general, he must be in the name of two ministers when he surrendered to the Huaxia army. If it is for the sake of the people all over the world and filial piety, he can package himself a little to make his reputation less smelly.

Hong Chengchou is not willing to give up his power. He knows that if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you hold power in your hand, you can realize your ideal. If you retreat and return again, it will not be so easy. What many ministers fear most is Ding you at the critical time.

Just like Zhang Juzheng in those years, at the most critical time of his life, his father died. Although he let the emperor and the court seize love through power, he attracted the world's reputation and foreshadowed the tragic situation later.

Hong Chengchou thought so mainly for the sake of fame.

Who is Liu Yuanqiao? He can be called a human spirit. He knows exactly what is in Fang's heart, so Liu Yuanqiao flatly refused the other party's resignation. He said: "since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve. Serving the country is great loyalty and filial piety. There are many differences between China's Empire and Daming. This is that everything focuses on the collective interests, so Aiqing reluctantly continues to shoulder this heavy responsibility?"

Hong Chengchou looked embarrassed. He said, "Wei Chen has left home for more than ten years. He hasn't seen his mother for more than ten years. He hasn't been able to filial piety in front of his mother. He is very upset. He is deeply afraid that his son wants filial piety and his parents are not here."

In this era, unfilial is a great crime. Liu Yuanqiao agrees with this. He is also a person who is very filial to his mother. Before the rebellion, he first consulted his mother's meaning, that is, he is afraid of harming his mother.

But Liu Yuanqiao knew that the other party was just making excuses, so he said: "That's the same saying. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can be both complete. Those who do things for others should be regarded as a major event and honor their ancestors. This is filial piety to their ancestors and parents. When you go back, it's just filial piety for the whole family. If you go to Shaanxi, calm down one side, guard the herdsmen and let many people live a good life, this is great loyalty and filial piety. I believe your mother will understand and be proud of you Yes“

Liu Yuanqiao said so, and Hong Chengchou had to reluctantly.

Liu Yuanqiao said, "it takes time for the army to start. You can take this time to go south on a starry night, go back to your hometown, meet your parents, worship your ancestors, and then continue to work for the country. You should remember that serving the country and the people is the real filial piety and loyalty."

After Liu Yuanqiao said this, Hong Chengchou just went down the slope. He knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "I will obey your orders."

Of course, Hong Chengchou doesn't want to resign and go home to be filial to his parents. His family came from hard times. What if he was right in front of his parents? Their family used to sell tofu and dried beans for a living. Does he still want to go back with my mother to sell dried beans?

After he became an official, he was rich and powerful. He bought more fields, luxury houses and many servant girls to serve me, so that I could live a noble life.

If you let me choose, she should be satisfied with her current life and won't like selling dried beans for her when she goes back.

Hong Chengchou also realized that the Chinese Army wanted to pull him into the partnership, but he had to pay a corresponding return to satisfy the Chinese army at such a high price.

If he can't satisfy the Chinese army and make the other party happy, he can kill him with a backhand. Since Hong Chengchou has become a leader, has guarded one side and commanded thousands of troops and horses, he can't go back to the life in the past, can't go to the land to farm, and can't sell dried beans any more.

If he does such a job, it is estimated that his enemies will not let him go, but go to the door and destroy him. He does this mainly to pretend and look good on the surface.

Liu Yuanqiao understood this point, so he insisted again and again that the two sides reached an agreement in this kind of wish.
