In fact, Wang Xiang, Luo Yuxin and other generals began to be rubbed before they could see Zhu Mei.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zeng Ying conveyed the orders of the Military Affairs Office of the Supervisory Government to Wang Xiang and other Zunyi generals to train the soldiers under their command.

The so-called training includes reorganization and training, and the positions of each general need to be re-determined.

Although Wang Xiang, Luo Yuxin and others have not yet developed into real military leaders like Santan in Kuizhou, they are still half-military leaders.

In the past, I always regarded the army as my own private army. I am the only one in the army, free and powerful, so how could I accept reorganization?

But if you don't want to, there is nothing you can do.

Among the more than 10,000 "elite soldiers" in Zunyi City, Wang Xiang has the most troops, with about 4,000 people, and the overall strength is also the strongest.

The second most popular is Luo Yuxin, who has two or three thousand people, but the quality of the soldiers is very average.

The one with the highest quality of soldiers is Hou Tianci, but Hou Tianci now has only more than 300 people.

The remaining few military leaders have only more than 1,000 people under their command, or at least only a few hundred people, and the quality of the soldiers is average.

If they allegedly defended, they could still defend Zunyi for some time without siege cannons from the enemy.

But now Zeng Ying and other elite soldiers in the three towns have entered Zunyi City. Not only are they well-armed, but they also brought dozens of artillery pieces of various types.

Today, everyone was stunned by the military generals.

Therefore, even if he was reluctant, facing the request of the Military Affairs Office of the Supervisory Government to rectify the training, Wang Xiang and others did not dare to say a word.

Of course, the training was jointly responsible by the Military Affairs Office of the Supervisory Government and the Military Training Department, and had little to do with generals such as Zeng Ying. Zeng Ying and others were only responsible for intimidation and supervision of generals and soldiers who were trained by Wang Xiang.

Because more than 10,000 people were eliminated by war, there should not be many people eliminated during the training, so the plan is to reorganize the third battalion of Malay.

In the end, soldiers of sufficiently qualified personnel may be absorbed into the Imperial Guards, and most of the border guards will be classified as the garrison.

As for Wang Xiang, Luo Yuxin and other generals, they will be sent to Chengdu’s general training camp for further study. Only when the further study meets the requirements of the State Administration will they be re-granted to a suitable general position.

···

A few days later.

In the large tent of Zeng Ying’s military camp in Zunyi City.

Zeng Ying, Liu Zhenfan and Liu Wenxiu are discussing military affairs.

"This is the latest military order from the Military Affairs Office of the Supervisor Government, asking General Liu Wenxiu to lead the Second Town of the Imperial Guard to return to Chengdu.

Since this is the case, Wang Yingxiong and others were going to Chengdu to meet civil officials and generals, so they asked General Liu to escort them."

Liu Wenxiu took the military order from Zeng Ying and looked at it, then nodded and said, "No problem, I will send all these people to Chengdu without missing a lot. What about you, what are you going to do next?"

Zeng Ying and Liu Zhenfan looked at each other, and then Zeng Ying said, "I have asked the Chongqing garrison troops to station in Chongqing in accordance with the military order of the State Administration to continue to wipe out the remaining bandits and bandits.

Another garrison town was left in Zunyi, responsible for deterring the troops of the Third Battalion and the surrounding chieftains who were undergoing training, and at the same time clearing out some smaller bandits.

As for Guizhou, we can take the first and second border guards and two garrison towns to go there.

Wang Yingxiong had already sent a letter to the Guizhou General Secretary and the Shuixi Xuanwei Office. Even if those people were fond of the fake emperor in Nanjing, they knew that Wang Yingxiong had joined the governor and would have some concerns when he saw our army again.

Besides, the remaining troops of the Daxi Army led by Zhang Kewang are now in chaos in Guizhou, but they are just in need of our help."

At the end, Zeng Ying smiled.

Obviously, it is not difficult to win Guizhou in his opinion.

The difficulty lies in whether we can catch up with Zhang Kewang's remnants of the Western Army in Guizhou and wipe it out.

···

Early December.

It is in the Little Ice Age, and even Sichuan belongs to the basin, it is quite cold at this time.

It even started to snow in Chengdu this day.

However, snowflakes cannot cover up the prosperity of Chengdu City, and the cold cannot retreat from the enthusiasm of Chengdu people for life.

For Lu Daqi, a Suining person who has been to Chengdu many times, he had already felt the prosperity and heat of the city just after he arrived more than a mile outside the Chengdu gate.

"I've recruited workers. Chengdu Prefecture Construction Bank recruits road construction workers. It's 30 cents a day, lunch, and salary day!"

"Huayang Second Cement Factory has recruited workers! A monthly salary of one or two taels is enough for food and accommodation!"

"Buns, the buns that have just been out of the cage are warm!"

"Fruit wine! The secret fruit wine made by the Jianguo Mansion! It's delicious and not intoxicating. Those who return home come to buy two jars..."

Seeing that there was a tea and wine shop and snack stall next to the official road that was still one mile away from the city gate, there were even people recruiting workers here. There were almost endless pedestrians entering and leaving the city, Lu Daqi couldn't help but stop and watch.

He felt that this kind of prosperity was completely different from that in Nanjing.

Although there are more people inside and outside Nanjing, if you look closely, you will find that there are many northerners who have fled inside. Refugees can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the city is filled with a smell of decay and rottenness.

Chengdu is full of vitality, almost everyone's faces are full of vitality, and even the smell of the air is different from that of Nanjing.

Then he felt that it might not be a bad thing to be excluded by Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying from being dismissed from office and returning to Sichuan.

It can even be said to be a good thing.

If he had been staying in Nanjing, he might not have known that there was a princess in Sichuan who not only defeated Zhang Xianzhong and recovered the entire Sichuan, but also did a lot of things in less than half a year.

Although not all of those things are good things, such as those rumors about the gods and gods.

But since he first arrived in Chongqing in November, then returned to Tongchuan, and then came to Chengdu this time, he saw that all the places were basically peaceful and the lives of the people became stable.

However, as he gained more knowledge about the princess of the regent, he found that not only did he not understand his understanding, but he felt that there was more and more fog covering him.

At this moment, the prosperity of Chengdu City allowed small merchants to make money outside the city, and he understood and was happy to see it.

But what the hell are those two recruiting workers?

After coming back to his senses, Lu Daqi brought his followers to the cloth banner of the "Huayang Second Cement Factory Recruitment Site" which had been surrounded by dozens of people.

Several followers drove the crowd away for Lu Daqi.

In addition, Lu Daqi was dressed in silk and had been an official for many years, and even made people feel his aura.

The people who were originally yelling and yelling all calmed down and gave him a way.

Lu Daqi did not look at the person who called out, but looked at the person who was responsible for writing records and said, "I wonder, what is your Huayang Second Cement Factory doing? Why are you recruiting workers outside the city?"

He suspected that these people used the city as a place outside the law and cheated here.

The middle-aged man who recorded the information of the registration personnel saw that Lu Daqi was not yet affair, so he stood up and bowed, saying, "The cement factory is naturally a cement production. As for why he doesn't recruit workers in the city, one is because labor in the city is more expensive, and the other is because this cement factory wants to

Built in the eastern suburbs, it is more convenient for people from all villages and towns in the eastern suburbs to get a job.”

Lu Daqi nodded slightly at first, then asked again: "What is this cement? I have been traveling around the world and asking myself that I am very knowledgeable, why have I never heard of it?"

When he said this, the middle-aged man recorded that he had not answered yet, many people around him laughed.

Someone asked with a smile: "This official hasn't been to Chengdu for the past two months, right?"

Lu Daqi didn't feel embarrassed to be too embarrassed - these people were too different from his identities, and they would not feel ridiculed at all.

So he said seriously: "I have been doing business for many years, and this is the first time I have returned to Sichuan in recent years."

"No wonder," said the man, "and let the official know that this cement is said to be the fairy soil invited by the princess from the fairy world, and is born from Xilan. As long as water is mixed, it will be as hard as a stone in just one or two days.

A few days ago, after this object came out, it was first used by the government to repair the city walls, and then began to build roads within and around the floor.

Tsk, I must have never seen this cement mixed with sand and gravel, so the road construction speed is so fast...

Hearing this, Lu Daqi's brows were already wrapped in a ball.

Because he least wants to hear the princess connect with this legend of gods and ghosts.

As a Confucian disciple, although he did not say that he did not believe in ghosts and gods at all, he also knew that governing the country should be done with the right way, rather than with the art of witches and ghosts.

It would be fine if these strange and strange stories were just fabricated by ignorant people. If it is true, the Sichuan-based small court would probably have a bigger problem than Nanjing, and it would never be able to take on the heavy responsibility of regaining the northern provinces.

Thinking of this, Lu Daqi couldn't help but shout, "No, how could there be a stone in this world that is mixed with soil and water?"

Lu Daqi had served as a governor for several times. After this reprimand, the people around him calmed down, and the timids were even scared to retreat to the distance.

The man who had been talking to him endlessly also shut up.

However, the middle-aged man who recorded the registration information was stunned and smiled and said, "It's normal that the official does not believe it, and he didn't believe it when he first heard about it.

However, the construction company recruited small workers there to repair a cement road leading to Longquanyi.

Moreover, the cement road in the city has been built, and you can see it after walking a hundred steps forward.

Whether it is true or not, I will know at a glance that the official has come over and see, so why bother to argue with us here?”

Lu Daqi also realized that it was useless to scold these ignorant villains, so he waved his sleeves, snorted coldly, and walked towards the east gate with his followers.

Although he had realized at this time that cement might really have something to do.
