In Kwachehe Town, Tongcheng County, red queues are passing through the streets, and people on the roadside cheer and cheer from time to time. Shijingpu not far ahead is the intersection of Fucheng Avenue and Post Road. It is the only place to go from Tongcheng to the hinterland of Anqing. In Chongzhen
The eight years of bandit rebellion also encountered disasters. Fortunately, Tongcheng was well prepared at that time, and the towns and villages received early warning.
, some residents were able to flee to the countryside. At that time, the Eight Kings and Sweeping Kings were busy going to Qianshan and other county towns, and their stay was short. Shijingpu was heavily damaged, but the burned part of the town of trailer river was not large, and it has basically recovered now.
Last year, Anqing safely passed the peak of rogue activity in winter and spring, mainly due to Lu Xiangsheng's Chuzhou victory. The rogue bandits were reduced to scattered forces, unable to attack the fortified Anqing. Only small groups of rogue bandits harassed Qianshan Taihu from the mountains.
,hang
Although the Chehe River was frightened, it was still generally stable. Shijingpu is a transportation hub in eastern Anqing and controls the most important official post roads and pedestrian roads. However, the damage to its town was too great, so Pang Yu chose to garrison in the nearby trailer river. Originally,
The Second Division of the Anqing Garrison Battalion was once stationed here, and the people were very relieved. After October this year, the surrounding bandit situation became more and more tense day by day. The Second Division was mobilized from time to time, and basically never stayed in the trailer river. Originally, the trailer river
There is no fortress, and it is basically undefended. Therefore, there are many
People have fled to other places, and the first choice is Fucheng. Those who have relatives in Tongcheng will go to Tongcheng.
The people who stayed behind were still on tenterhooks. The garrison camp passed by here today, which also made the local people happy. Especially when they saw the familiar military flag of the Second Division and knew it was the garrison camp that was originally stationed, the people were even more inexplicably excited.
Wang Zenglu, who was under the military banner, did not look excited. He looked up at the sky and said, "The whole company will take a rest for a quarter of an hour." After he ordered the officer Zanhua beside him, the funnel was turned over and the hourglass started timing.
The Nazan Painting Officer made all the arrangements himself. Wang Zenglu felt that it was easier to manage a bureau than before. In other battalions, the specialized flag officers were generally guerrilla or above.
Now that Pang Yu has taken charge of the general, Wang Zenglu doesn't even have to check whether the horns and drums are correct. Several praise paintings will check each other, and he has more energy to consider military operations.
With the sound of the change of command, the cannon was fired, and the subordinate drums and trumpets sounded the gongs, and a queue of more than 500 people stopped on the official road. After two more gongs, the queues sat down one after another, each drinking water and eating dry food.
When the suona sounded to summon the officers, Wang Zenglu dismounted his horse and went to a food shop on the roadside. The guards came to find the shop owner.
"Twelve bowls of rice soup."
"Eleven bowls!" Wang Zenglu said and sat down at the table with one foot on his stool. The guard was a little panicked and quickly ordered it again. Wang Zenglu did not blame him. The Second Division also had a routine in Anqing when marching.
Military officers usually assemble to discuss matters in a canteen. Military regulations require officers and soldiers to eat together. Although they cannot eat the food, they can still eat it.
I ordered rice soup, sugar water, and tea. Usually there are twelve bowls, but this time there was one less bowl because one bowl was left behind in Qianshan.
After a while, the deputy commander, the town governor, the clerk, the three hundred commanders, the infantry and ranger flag commander, the artillery flag commander, and the baggage flag commander arrived at the restaurant one after another, each picking up rice soup and drinking it. The last one arrived.
The general is the Ranger Flag Officer. The Rangers under the Infantry Division are mainly used for reconnaissance and messaging. They are responsible for guarding during marches. During rest, the flags must first confirm the front and rear sentry horses, and the left and right beam horse signal flags. Basically, they are the last ones every time.
Arrive. Although
Although it is a bit harder, the monthly salary is calculated according to the cavalry division, which is generally one level higher than that of the infantry.
After receiving the report that there was no warning, Wang Zenglu said to the officers present, "Master Daotai ordered us to rush to Kongcheng Town tomorrow and to Songyang the day after tomorrow, but just now a letter of order was sent from the Zan Painting Room of the garrison office.
Read it for everyone." The Zanhua officer behind him stepped forward and said, "In response to the report from Qiyingtang, four hundred bandits have come out of Jifei Beach, Taihu County. They are confirmed to be from the Zuojin King's Division. We hereby order the 11th Division of Luying's Second Division to
Return to Qianshan Tianning Village before the 9th of the month, gather all the people in the company, and set up dangers and solid formations
Stock up on food and grass for later orders. The Anqing garrison camp praises the painting studio." The letter is very simple in wording, but the content is not simple. Tomorrow is the 9th, because the order from Daotai Yamen is to rush to Kongcheng Town tomorrow, and
Zan Painting Studio asked to return to Qianshan Tianning Village. Starting from the trailer river is two completely different directions.
Towards.
"Those who are literate can take it and read it themselves." Wang Zenglu knocked on the table, "This matter is difficult to handle. Let's discuss it with you all. If you have any ideas, just tell us." In order to show that he was a literate person in the night reading class, Wu Dacai reached out and took the military order.
, first see the eleven-digit number on the right. The military order format of the garrison camp is different from that of the imperial court. The number is on the far right. The first four digits use the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and the following seven digits.
The number and compilation rules are determined by the Zan Painting Studio. The number has the seal of the Zan Painting Studio, and the name and soldier's rank of the ordering soldier are at the end, and even the accent is marked. Each time, the Zan Painting that receives the military order must be checked before it can be handed over to the chief officer.
This troublesome method was adopted because the intelligence collected showed that bandits often forged official documents and relied on this method many times to break into cities and lure soldiers into ambushes. Therefore, it was not an exclusive invention of the garrison camp and involved bandit rebellion.
Official document codes are being changed in various places. In addition to official document numbers, other tokens and arrows also have corresponding countermeasures. Wu Tacai has been in the army for a long time and knows that soldiers are in danger and war is dangerous.
When it comes to military affairs, they are usually not afraid of trouble. When the order letter was passed on, the scene was still very quiet. All the officers looked at each other and no one spoke first. According to the system of the garrison camp, all participants in the military meeting can speak.
, and it doesn’t have to be in hierarchical order, but everyone used to listen to the superior
We are used to orders. Although this system has been implemented not long ago, everyone is still not used to it. Generally, they are unwilling to speak first. What's more, military meetings must be recorded. This matter is about disobeying the orders of one party. Both parties are superiors, and no one can
Can't afford to offend.
When Wang Zenglu saw that no one was speaking, he directly called by name, "Deputy Commander Huang." Deputy Commander Huang said without hesitation, "We should deal with the military situation first. Lord Daotai wants us to go to Tongcheng because there were bandits three days ago.
They entered Songyang and burned down a place in Shecang, but they were defeated by our garrison camp in Songyang Water Camp. There were only twenty or thirty people who came from the Lujiang River via a small road. The road was mixed with water and land, and the rogue brigade could not be reached. At present,
Kongcheng Town is already guarded by two bureaus of the First Division. The bandits cannot take the main road to Songyang, so there is no need to mobilize troops for dozens of bandits. This kind of thing has already happened
Quite a few, our trip to Songyang...mostly in vain, but the Taihu bandits know clearly, and there are hundreds of them. If they get on the post road, it will be easy to go inside, and it will be troublesome to chase them.
."
"Then Deputy Commander Huang means to go back to Qianshan."
"The official advises me to go back to Qianshan, but if the master tells me to go to Songyang, I will definitely obey."
The deputy commander spoke more simply. Wang Zenglu nodded and looked at the clerk, "What's your opinion, Mr. Tu?" All the officers also noticed that this clerk was not in the establishment before, but he officially became an officer after this reorganization.
At the same level as Vice President Qian. At first everyone thought he was like a scribe in the yamen, helping with writing and calculation, so
In the army, he is often addressed as "sir". Who would have known that later on, he would find out that apart from fighting, many things in the army required his approval, even the promotion of officers. The clerk Tu who was assigned to the second division was in his thirties and came from Susong.
I used to be a shopkeeper and also a clerk in the county government. I happened to return to my hometown during the Chinese New Year and escaped. After the destruction of Taihu City, I fled to Fucheng. I had been writing documents for the Chinese army and was selected as a literary clerk.
When the secretary arrived at the second division, he became a bastard. He took office in tears. Many people in the army actually looked down on him.
He has always been absent-minded after joining the army. This clerk never followed the military drills, but he was not difficult and rarely vetoed anything.
He buried his head and said, "I will not be involved in these marching and fighting matters."
Wang Zenglu said politely, "Although it is a matter of marching, it is not just a march, it is related to the conduct of the whole department. I would like to hear Mr. Tu's opinions."
After thinking about it, Clerk Tu said, "I can't say I have a high opinion, but I feel that this matter should be considered not only in order but also in terms of top and bottom." There were all old and rough people present, and they didn't understand what they heard. Clerk Tu continued,
"The so-called order is that Daotai Yamen has the order first, so there should be a sequence. First go to Songyang and then return to Qianshan. Then we say up and down. Daotai Yamen is at the top, and the garrison Yamen is at the top.
"Come down, follow orders from above. Even the garrison yamen must listen to the Taotai yamen. This is the imperial system and cannot be overstepped."
"The Tu clerk means to still go to Songyang." "I think it should be so. Those who have written papers before Xianguan know that this document is time-consuming. It is probably because Lord Daotai's military order has not yet been sent to the garrison. Because of the military situation
Urgently dispatch it directly to our company. When the Garrison Office receives it, it will be sent to us again.
, we still have to go to Songyang. If we go to Qianshan at this time and run around even though we are not told, it will be a waste of time."
None of the officers spoke, not even coughing.
After Wang Zenglu thought for a moment, he turned to the governor. Although this governor was also at the level of a hundred generals, he was directly under the battalion governor system and had the authority to enforce military discipline. His status was higher than that of an ordinary hundred generals, so Wang Zenglu had to consult him first.
"The lower official thinks that... it is better to station in the trailer river, send a fast horse to Anqing to report to the people in Anqing, and also arrange a horse to go to Tongcheng to report to the people in Tongcheng, and ask them to come to an agreement before it is too late."
Wang Zenglu frowned slightly, but did not force it. He continued to look behind him. The first CEO was Wu Tac Choi.
Ng Tak Choi has now been promoted to the position of General Manager of the Fourth Game as he wished. He was not prepared to speak at first, but he has been observing Wang Zenglu. He noticed the subtle expression of Wang Zenglu just now. This matter is very difficult. The General Manager's meaning is very obvious, he is unwilling to
One person bears this responsibility, so let the military council share some of it. If everyone does not speak, the goal will not be achieved. As his confidant, sooner or later he will be wanted, but after that
Wu Dacai had not discussed it with him before, and Wu Dacai was also guessing Wang Zenglu's position. In the order letter just now, Wu Dacai noticed a word, which asked the second division to "return" to Qianshan. The second division was originally deployed at three places in Qianshan.
place, indicating that the garrison knew that the Second Division had left Qianshan, and it should also know that it was Daotai Yamen
When dispatching troops, issuing an order under such circumstances was either because Taihu was really urgent, or Panda was doing it deliberately to clarify the military order system. The previous several superior officers had all spoken, and they had different opinions, so he was also thinking mentally.
What should I say to deal with it without being offended? At this time, Wang Zenglu looked over, and Wu Dacai had not yet thought about it. In the moment of urgency, what Mr. Hou said suddenly came to his mind.
suddenly appeared in the mind.
"To understand the court officials means to understand the yamen?"
Wu Dacai's mind was racing and he murmured, "The king is always a court official. What does he want? Pang Pang is also a court official..." From the corner of his eye, he saw the military writer on the table beside him, who was writing quickly there.
Recording the speech just now, Wu Dacai was familiar with military regulations and knew where these military meeting records would end up. When building the city outside Taihu County that day, Pang Pang ordered to withdraw
The scene of divorce appeared before our eyes again, followed by the head of the old leader Jiao Guozhao falling off.
Everything seemed to suddenly come together. What I mentioned above were just details. Far from being a difficulty, this was not a problem, but a huge opportunity.
Wu Dacai didn't wait for Wang Zenglu to call his name, but he stood up and said, "I think that although what Clerk Tu said is reasonable, it is all wrong!"
There was an uproar in the hall. Clerk Tu was caught off guard and pointed at Wu Dacai and said, "You, you."
Wang Zenglu stared at Wu Dacai, his expression a little serious, but he did not stop him. "Bizhi believes that this is not a matter of up and down. Military regulations, Article 1, Paragraph 3, battalion-level military orders only come from the Zanhua Department. If there is an order from Daotai Yamen,
, it should also be sent to the garrison office according to the system, and the Zan Painting Office will draft a military order and send it to our department. The order received today is confirmed to be from the Zan Painting Department, and it is written clearly. It arrived at Tianning Village nine days ago, so it should have arrived at Tianning Village nine days ago.
Arrive at Tianning Village." Wu Dacai held his head high, "Military orders are like mountains, and the first article of military law clearly states that it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Anyone who resists orders on the battlefield will be killed!"
