"Brother, the problem has been clarified. Only Yang Zisen in Beiping City is Wang Qi's accomplice," Zhao Xueer sent a stack of confessions to Wan Lei,
"There is only one Yang Zisen, so how did he get the information about my injury?" Wan Lei didn't believe it.
"He said he overheard Mrs. Liu saying it,"
"Then how did Mrs. Liu know that?"
"It's the people from Tiefu who spilled the beans, but it's also my fault that Mrs. Liu doesn't keep her words to herself and talks about everything to outsiders. It's true," Zhao Xueer said flatly. She was angry because these unnecessary people did this. She is so tired from trivial matters that her elder brother Wan cannot rest peacefully.
"Where did the other information come from? That guy provided information to Wang Qi more than once." Wan Lei still wanted to get to the bottom of it. After all, intelligence security work cannot be neglected at all. This time, it was just good luck. The Ming Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself. Otherwise, I really don’t know what kind of traps will be revealed, so I must take warning.
"How did it come about? In order to defraud money, that guy made up some so-called Peking Army garrison diagrams and weapons casting diagrams and other fake things. That guy Wang Qi doesn't know the truth from the fake, so he was deceived without discussion," Zhao Xueer didn't He said angrily,
"Cheating and abducting, scum," Wan Lei said angrily. There are two types of people he despises the most. One is the scum that is a scumbag, and the other is the scum that cheats and abducts. Because these two kinds of people are parasites who do not do their job properly, and they are also living. scourge,
"Brother, what are you going to do with this scumbag?" Zhao Xueer looked at Wan Lei mischievously,
"Send all the suspects and evidence to the magistrate's office and try them according to the law." Although Wan Lei was angry, he would not interfere with the judiciary for such a scumbag, and the Jingzhong Guards would not set up a private execution hall to try the suspects, but according to the Beiping Province According to the new criminal law, that guy committed the crime of stealing and selling secrets. Even if he did not commit the death penalty, he would have to commit twenty years of hard labor.
"If you are really sentenced, you won't be afraid of the opinions of those sour and rotten literati,"
"State-owned legal experts have family rules, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be punished. If there are no people who are beyond the law, they cannot impose punishments outside the law, let alone show mercy outside the law, otherwise the law will be abolished."
"Why are you so serious? If I accidentally break the law in the future, will you punish me too?"
"Yes, I definitely will, and you are my sister. The crime will be increased and the punishment will be heavier." Wan Lei was not joking. Although he does not engage in dictatorship, he is usually very talkative, but no matter who it is, once the bottom line is crossed , he will definitely turn his face and deny anyone,
"If you want a harsher punishment, then I, I don't recognize you as my brother anymore," Zhao Xueer flattened her mouth and became angry.
Wan Lei was about to "tease" Zhao Xue'er a few words, but he saw an elite loyal guard leading Zhou Tianshou into the living room in a hurry. He waved his hand to signal Zhao Xue'er to get out of the way first, and then said: "Brother Zhou has worked hard all the way, sit down quickly."
"Brother Xian, your injury is better." Zhou Tianshou had just returned from the front line of Shanhaiguan on Wan Lei's order, and the Peiping army stationed outside Shanhaiguan was all led by Zhao Quanjie.
"Much better, thank you for your concern, brother." Wan Lei moved his injured leg slightly, and then said: "Brother must be very confused as to why he called you back in such a hurry,"
"Haha, I am indeed confused, but I must have a necessary reason, so I rushed back as soon as possible," Zhou Tianshou said with a smile. He and Wan Lei have known each other for a long time, so he naturally understands Wan Lei's temperament.
"Brother, please read it yourself. This is an urgent report from the Jingzhong Guards lurking in Jinling." Wan Lei handed over a piece of information.
Zhou Tianshou took it and glanced at it, his face was filled with joy, and he said with a smile: "Tomorrow will be like this, I really deserve it."
"Haha, I want to know what brother thinks," Wan Lei asked with a smile,
"The bombing of the palace city in the Ming Dynasty must have been done by Mrs. Liu and her gang. As far as I know, Mrs. Liu and her gang were not only ruthless, but also very scheming. They must have been well prepared before they started the uprising. There are only a few people in the Jiangnan area. I am afraid that the war will lead to chaos and disaster. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Peking Army."
"It's indeed a good opportunity, but it's a pity that we have too few soldiers and can't take too much territory," Wan Lei frowned.
"Well, the Peking Army's military strength is indeed insufficient, but it is not impossible to concentrate all military forces southward and attack Jinling."
"Sending troops south to Jinling, Brother Zhou is so courageous. Haha, I am not anxious to dominate the country and find a title," Wan Lei said with a smile,
"Hey," Zhou Tianshou scratched his head honestly, "It doesn't matter whether you are knighted or not, the key is to be able to create an unparalleled foundation with Brother Wan, and be famous in history in the future."
"Why don't you understand what my younger brother is thinking? Don't worry, brother, the success in pacifying Jinling in the future will definitely be yours. However, it's still too early now. It's not time to raise troops to go south."
"My brother means not to raise troops to go south for the time being. Then, wouldn't that be a missed opportunity? If Mrs. Liu and her group are allowed to occupy Jinling, our benefits will be reduced."
"Brother, taking the first move doesn't necessarily mean you have the upper hand. In the war in the south, we really can't say who will win and who will lose. It might last for several years without a clear winner. Let's sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. While preparing for war, we will wait until the time is right before heading south."
Wan Lei paused and then said: "I called my brother back this time because I want him to use his skills to train tens of thousands of new troops for the Peking Army. I wonder if I am willing."
"Training the new army," Zhou Tianshou frowned and said, "Most of the Ding Ding and Guangdong people our Shuntian Prefecture can recruit have been recruited into the army. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recruit tens of thousands of people."
"I also know this, so I want you to come back, Brother Zhou. I plan to recruit troops from Baoding and Hejian. However, these people are not of the same mind as us for the time being, and their ideas are different, so I leave it to you, brother. Only by taking charge can I rest assured,"
"Well, it is really difficult to lead such a new army. After all, they are not our brothers who have lived through life and death. It is difficult to get along with us, and they may even disobey the command."
"If I take action, I will naturally be able to keep those new recruits in good condition, and I will help from the side, so there will be no problem," Wan Lei said with a smile,
"Brother, you are trying to provoke the generals, but there are always ways. But brother, I want to call some people from the original First Army to lead the new with the old."
"You can call on as many people as you want, just pull out the army as soon as possible. By the way, this time I will arrange for Li Guobao to be your deputy. After this army is trained, a small part will be added to the first and second armies, and a large number will be added to the first and second armies." The troops will stay to form the Third Army, and the candidate for the commander of the Third Army is Li Guobao. I hope you can cooperate happily,"
"Li Guobao is a very smart and capable man. After practicing and beating him a few times, he should be able to become a general. I will leave it to my brother to ensure that he completes the task." Zhou Tianshou was also unambiguous. He knew that Wan Lei had called him back. Firstly, In order to train troops, the second is to lead generals. After all, Li Guobao is only at the division level. If he wants to be promoted to the commander of an army, he still needs some experience.
Of course, Zhou Tianshou, as one of the veterans of the Peking Army, also hopes that there will be many fierce generals in the army, so that the Peking Army can become stronger. In addition, no matter how many generals come out in the future, his status as a veteran will not be shaken. As long as Wan Lei If he is still in power, he won't have to worry about being replaced by his juniors.
"Okay, brother, I'm just waiting for this sentence from you, brother," Wan Lei said with a smile,
Zhou Tianshou smiled slightly. He also knew that after reaching this level, he would definitely be able to become a duke once the country was founded. However, he had been with Wan Lei for so long and his horizons were much higher. Things like titles were not that important anymore.
After a person has lived his whole life, he has gained status, status and wealth, and all that is left is to pursue higher things, which is to have a reputation that will last through the ages.
"Brother, Commander Zhao has no mission," Zhou Tianshou asked again. In fact, he still hoped that the Peking Army could take this opportunity to expand its territory.
"Commander Zhao still has about 30,000 troops on hand. This number of people is enough to capture Shanhaiguan. When the main force of the navy returns to the north, we will join forces to attack Liaodong."
"Capture Liaodong," Zhou Tianshou frowned and said: "Liaodong is a bitter cold land with scarce products, and there are many barbarian tribes in the north. It would be useless to conquer it. It is better to return to Shanxi and conquer it later. Henan, if we retreat, we can protect Peiping."
"Haha, Liaodong is rich in mineral resources and forest resources. As long as we capture Liaodong, our Peking Army will have the capital to shake the world." Wan Lei was right. Although the natural environment in the Central Plains is good, it is a pity that various resources are scarce. Development is easily hindered,
Liaodong is different. It is rich in water resources, iron ore, coal resources and forest resources. It is a treasure land for the development of heavy industry. As long as it is developed properly, it can become a major steel production area and a ship production area. Of course, the cold climate must be overcome. Wan Lei is still confident about difficulties such as insufficient grain production.
"However, Liaodong is a vast and sparsely populated area with a dangerous environment and many thieves. It is difficult to develop those resources. Moreover, it is too cold there and people are unwilling to move there," Zhou Tianshou also advised,
"Brother, don't worry. I have a comprehensive plan. For our Peking Army, Liaodong is a geomantic treasure land that must be captured. As for immigration and development, I also have a comprehensive plan. I will definitely capture it." It can turn Liaodong into a cornucopia in the shortest possible time."
"Since you have made up your mind, brother, I don't want to give you much advice. It's just that the main force of our army went north to Liaodong and the defense line was lengthened. Once the three Duoyan guards occupied the Liaodong corridor, the brothers who entered Liaodong would be divided and surrounded. And now that the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, there is no guarantee. There will be no rebellion in the north. Although the Ming Dynasty is temporarily unable to conquer Beiping, it is hard to predict the rebellion. In short, there are great variables."
"As for the Mongols, they are still in a civil war. Don't worry for the time being. Even if the Duoyan Three Guards really occupy the passage to the customs, we still have a navy. As long as the sea passage is still there, there is no need to worry. As for the rebels, that is even more There is no need to be afraid, we will leave 10,000 garrison troops, which is enough to ensure the security of the entire Beipingzhou Province."
