Pidao, formerly the General Military Mansion of Dongjiang Town.
This is already the center of the West Route Army, and the one who made this proud laugh was none other than the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, Yao Chunyong.
Even Yao Chunyong himself had never thought that one day he would be able to command the army on a large area of land including Pi Island from the General Military Mansion on Pi Island.
Today's West Route Army has almost occupied most of the original Gaizhou area. Rows of new recruits on Pi Island were drilled out of the military camps and stationed in various places. If it were not for the strong restraint from Zhenjiang Fort,
He, Yao Chunyong, was able to send his troops to Kaizhou City.
Today, he probably has the largest number of troops in Liaodong Dudu's army.
Of course, it is only the largest number of people. If we compare the combat power, the West Route Army is probably only slightly stronger than the Central Route Army. Although the West Route Army has more people, when it comes to weapons and equipment, it is the worst.
of one.
This is not because the Military and Government Yamen prefers one to another, but the production of the Transport Department originally was so large. The four legions sent people in circles to guard Tieshan City, waiting for new firearms and armors to be produced. Even if everyone came in turns,
But the number of people is different, but the things obtained are the same, and the combat power of his West Route Army is still not as high.
Today, the firearms produced in Tieshan City do not need to be escorted to the various legions. The items are transported from the workshop to the warehouse. A large group of people are already waiting to pick up the goods. Yao Chunyong also sent people to guard Tieshan City, but this year
Apart from getting him hundreds of muskets, he didn't get a single cannon.
He was so angry that he called the person he sent back to Pidao and scolded him severely.
And looking at the bright cannons in front of him, three-pound cannons, six-pound cannons, and big guys who don't know how many pounds, they are all neatly placed in front of him at this moment, why can't he make a sound?
"General Yao, this is not for your West Route Army, it is for my Nanhai Camp!" Zhao Huchen tilted his head and said seriously to the overjoyed general in front of him: "It is only temporarily stored in
Here, when our Nanhai Camp sets off, these cannons will be taken away with the army!"
"Stop talking!" Yao Chunyong was not polite at all to a junior like Zhao Huchen: "When you come to my place, even if you are from Nanhai Camp, you will keep half of it for me. Do you understand the rule of sharing half when we meet?"
"General, you are being rude. Our Nanhai battalion is going to sea to fight Japanese pirates. Without this big guy, if we are defeated by then, will we have the nerve to come back?" Zhao Huchen didn't even plan to give half of it to him.
Yao Chunyong.
"Japanese pirates are nothing!" Yao Chunyong waved his hand: "To beat him with such a big guy is a compliment to them. Giving them firecrackers and pellets is enough to make them cry for father and mother. If you are afraid of defeat, you can
Go back, I, Old Yao, have taken over this errand. There are not many people here, so it’s okay to gather three to two thousand people. Of course, these cannons must be left to me!"
"Old Yao, don't even think about it!" Zhao Huchen shouted: "You still have to pay for the road? Believe it or not, I will sue you in front of the commander!"
"Humph, am I afraid of this?" Yao Chunyong looked at Zhao Huchen coldly. After the great victory in Zhenjiang Fort, the two of them were comrades who had lived life and death together, but he was not afraid that the other party would be really angry: "In the Marshal's heart, is fighting the Tatars more important, or fighting something else?
Japanese pirates are important, I don’t need to say this anymore!”
"Let's do this!"
When he saw the other person, he was like a piece of meat on a hob. He refused to give in and even lost his face. Zhao Huchen still had no way to deal with the other person. Of course, it was impossible for the two of them to really fall out. He scratched his head in anxiety and finally suppressed a thought.
idea.
"Over at Tieshan, let me say hello to Mei Xiaofei for you and ask him to keep an eye on you. If the next order is shipped, I will notify your West Route Army personnel immediately!"
He said: "You have to know, the difference between having this greeting from me and not having this greeting from me may be just a dozen cannons, which can be enough to build an artillery team of a thousand men!"
"That's it?" Yao Chunyong smiled coldly: "A thousand birds in the forest is worse than a bird in the hand. I still understand this truth, don't try to fool me!"
"I also have a message for you!" Zhao Huchen said: "Strictly speaking, I have leaked military discipline. The news was something I saw on the Marshal's desk when he summoned me. It is related to your West Route Army. You
Do you want to listen?"
"I think you have an itchy skin, and you actually leaked the military aircraft. Believe it or not, after hearing this, I went back to the commander-in-chief and sold you to collect the reward!"
"I'm not afraid anyway. At that time, I was already at sea!" Zhao Huchen chuckled: "I don't know when I can return to Liaodong. Even if the commander wants to punish me, it will happen in the future.
Well, maybe by that time, the commander-in-chief will have already forgotten about this matter!"
"Tell me first..." Yao Chunyong is cunning and cunning.
"Just tell me whether you agree to this condition or not. Anyway, before I leave Pidao, you are not allowed to have any ideas about my Nanhai camp. If I have any shortcomings, you have to give me something..." Zhao Huchen insisted and would not let go.
Yao Chunyong's heart moved. Seeing the other party's determined look, he suddenly realized that this little guy was serious.
In fact, with the previous condition, he can agree to the other party. It is okay to take advantage of friendly forces, but if it is done too much, it will definitely not work.
But he didn't expect that he could force such a military aircraft out of Zhao Huchen's mouth.
"Okay, I promise you, just say it!" He said unwillingly: "If the news is not important, then what we said will not count!"
"The Military Intelligence Department has sent a large number of personnel to sneak into Kaizhou and Yaozhou. Even Liaoyang has sent many spies!"
Zhao Huchen said seriously.
"That's it, I knew it last year!" Yao Chunyong said in a dumbfounded voice, "You're not trying to fool me with this kind of news!"
"What if the military intelligence department's official document contains the commander's instructions?" Zhao Huchen smiled proudly: "The most valuable thing about the news is not the news itself, but the commander's approval!"
"Tell me, what did the commander-in-chief approve?"
"It's feasible! It's limited to three months!"
"What is feasible, and what is limited to three months? Is this March, March, or three months?" Yao Chunyong was confused after hearing this: "This news is a bit confusing, no, no, you are lying.
I!"
"Think about it. The commander-in-chief's approval of the matters reported by the Military Intelligence Department about Kaizhou and Yaozhou is feasible, but it is limited to three months!" Zhao Huchen said: "What is the limit? Do you still need me to explain? It can't be military intelligence.
The division has sent so many people, and they are just there to earn their living, so what exactly have they done that deserves the commander-in-chief’s personal approval and a time limit?”
"Are you going to attack the Tatars?" Yao Chunyong's eyes lit up.
"Your West Route Army is the closest to Kaizhou. Not to mention that you are not prepared by then, and you will not be able to recruit an elite force that can fight!" Zhao Huchen said: "If the commander-in-chief looks at your West Route Army and doesn't see it,
Go on, directly send the main army to do this, then your West Route Army can just farm in Pidao and Gaizhou!"
Yao Chunyong took a breath and looked at Zhao Huchen: "This news is really important, but brother Huchen, I can't let go of these cannons. Ten of them. I only want ten of them. I will give you five hundred skins."
A, five hundred long swords, how about it!"
"Old Yao, we don't do this!" Zhao Huchen shouted depressedly, and his somewhat sad voice echoed over the General Military Mansion.
The guards outside the door turned around inexplicably one by one and looked at the two generals in the room, wondering in their hearts what the two generals said that made General Zhao so crazy.
