The entire Pi Island was like a dark forest. Following Jiang Wan's order, this dark forest finally disappeared. Someone finally lit up a torch and began to walk out of their place, looking for other friends.
The Huben camp is the one holding the torch. Once they find other companions in the dark, they first carefully observe the situation of their companions, and then after confirming that their companions are safe, they add them to their team.
The Huwei Battalion, who was following behind them to provide support, began to arrange these new companions in an orderly manner. Those who originally had an establishment were reorganized or expanded, and those who did not have an original establishment were reorganized.
A few days later, not only did Jiang Wan's men now have two battalions, Huwei Camp and Huben Camp, but Fenyong Camp and Zhongyong Camp were also established. The soldiers around Jiang Wan were
Without hesitation, Jiang Wan sent them out one by one to serve as officers at all levels of the reorganized army. From the commander-in-chief to the commander-in-chief, from the garrison to the guerrillas, you can see these officers carrying muskets and knives everywhere.
young officer.
Even in many establishments, whether this establishment has been officially reorganized depends on whether these officers carrying muskets and knives have joined their ranks, and these officers not only represent Dongjiang General Controller Jiang Da
The commander-in-chief's recognition of these soldiers and horses also means that these officers can continuously obtain various supplies from Commander Jiang, including but not limited to food, ordnance, cloth, and even military pay...
Liu Xingzhi is missing, and I don’t know whether he is alive or dead!
When Jiang Wan got the news, not only did he not feel regretful, but he felt a little relaxed. It was absolutely impossible for him to agree to the conditions proposed by Liu Xingzhi. So, the final result of this person would be between him and his
Either die in the confrontation or escape from Pi Dao.
In short, there is no third way.
At present, he does not know whether he is alive or dead, but he has given Jiang Wan and even everyone the best ending. Jiang Wan can report to the court accordingly, and the officers and soldiers of Pidao, no matter how they evaluate Liu Xingzhi, will no longer affect Jiang Wan.
I finally took control of Phi Island.
A month later, the darkness of Pidao was finally illuminated by people carrying torches everywhere. As the number of soldiers and horses who joined Jiang Wan increased, the remaining people returned without much hesitation.
Under the command of the imperial court, this sudden plague not only took away the lives of many people, but also wiped out a major battle to quell the mutiny that might have existed.
The Fenyong Camp suffered the most serious attrition due to the plague. The Fenyong Camp with nearly 8,000 people was finally reorganized and reduced to less than 3,000 people. And among the dozens of villages living on the east side of Pi Island, not even one person was left.
None of the people survived.
No matter Liu Xingzhi or his confidants, no matter how great their plans for Pidao are, no matter how much resentment they have towards the court, or how much they miss Mao Wenlong, most of them should follow this plague.
And went.
And until now, Jiang Wan has not dared to do so. This plague has disappeared because enough people have died.
This is Phi Island, and this plague is most likely the plague. The biggest vector of this plague is not humans, but rats.
Jiang Wan even suspected that the source of the plague might be a few rats that crossed the sea from nowhere. However, this was just his guess and there was no proof.
The catastrophe that the entire Pi Island has suffered is worse than a war. In less than two years, there were more than 45,000 troops stationed in Dongjiang Town, and now after Jiang Wan's inventory, Pi Island is now
There are now less than 15,000 officers and soldiers.
As for the common people, there were not even ten thousand people.
The only good news is that there won't be too much food shortage in Pidao this winter. Jiang Wan's grain ships are still continuously transporting grain from North Korea. As long as the sea does not freeze, the grain ships will continue to operate.
Jiang Wan had also sent the memorial to the imperial court long ago. After the imperial court sent personnel to Pi Island to check the situation, the imperial court's supply to Pi Island would be restored.
And the number of food-eating mouths on the island has decreased so much. In any case, this winter will not be too sad.
In addition to worrying about the Tatar attack.
Every winter, when the sea freezes, the Pidao garrison is most on alert. This means that the Tatar cavalry does not need to cross the sea and can directly walk on the ice. In fact, before Mao Wenlong died, the Tatars
I've done this for a few years.
In that battle, both sides fought very hard. In the end, the weather helped a lot. Seeing that they could not gain much advantage, the weather gradually became warmer. The Tatars, who had no navy, took the initiative to withdraw their troops and turned to harm the Korean nation.
Went.
From that time on, as soon as the freezing season arrived, Mao Wenlong would gather the officers and soldiers on Phi Island and take the initiative to harass the Tatar territory. This could be regarded as leading the defense with attack.
And this kind of thing is a relatively difficult task for Jiang Wan, who is about to usher in his first winter on Pi Island.
With Pidao's current combat power, is it still capable of using offense instead of defense? If it cannot use offense instead of defense, if the Tatars invade again, can the remnants of more than 10,000 people on the island be able to withstand it?
This was the first time Jiang Wan, as the commander-in-chief of Pidao, summoned the heads of each battalion after gathering the entire island.
Even Geng Zhongming, who was in North Korea, came back to participate in this summons.
Today's Dongjiang Town still has four camps: Huwei, Huben, Zhongyong and Fengyong.
Huwei camp had the largest number of people, and Jiang Wan, the general, took over the job himself. Cheng Qianqiu got his wish and became the general of Huben camp. In terms of rewards based on merit, no one in Huben camp would be dissatisfied with him.
And Yao Chunyong became the acting general of the Zhongyong Battalion, and he was only acting as an acting general. As for whether he could sit down in the weakest position among the four battalions, Jiang Wan probably had to look at the performance of the other party. This could be regarded as Jiang Wan's respect for him.
Promises made, no promises broken.
As for the general of the Zhongyong Camp, it is vacant. Jiang Wan has a candidate in mind, but it is not clear whether this person will take office.
Jiang Wan reported these arrangements to the court in accordance with the rules. Of course, he, the general manager of Dongjiang Town, spoke up. The appointment and dismissal of the Ministry of War was just a process, and no one would make things difficult on this issue.
The main content of this summons is how Dongjiang Town should deal with this winter.
"Recruiting troops!"
Faced with Jiang Wan's predicament, Gao Xingsheng suggested without hesitation: "Every year at this season, a large number of refugees appear in Liaodong and Liaoxi. It is basically impossible for these people to enter the customs. Pi Island is a more suitable choice for them.
As for Shandong, there will also be refugees coming to Pi Island. As long as you have enough food, we still have a month or two to recruit soldiers and strengthen ourselves!"
