Chapter 2517
Chen Yixin has led the army in the north for many years, and he has confronted the Manchus countless times. Naturally, he is very clear about the shortcomings of each other's tactics.Although Haihan was able to make the Manchus bow their heads and surrender by eliminating the main force of the Qing army, it was indeed difficult to wipe out all the areas under the rule of the Manchus.Therefore, Chen Yixin formulated a steady and steady strategy to gradually recover the northern region.
From Chen Yixin's point of view, since Daming was able to set up ruling institutions such as capitals and guards in the farther north, then of course Haihan could do it too, but it would only cost time and money.It's just that Haihan's current focus is still on the area ruled by the former Ming Dynasty, and the input from the Liaodong Region alone is far from enough.
Under such circumstances, if Chen Yixin wanted to achieve success, he had to boldly use some reorganized former Qing army troops and let his officers command these troops to go out to areas not controlled by Haihan, attacking and looting those who would not Submit to Haihan's northern tribes.
However, the risks and opportunities of this arrangement coexist. In order to win the trust of the new owner, most of these reorganized troops are eager to make meritorious service, and their tactics will be more radical, which leads to the situation encountered by officers with rough voices. After the shortfall, they will immediately face the problem of insufficient food and grass.
Ha Jianyi whispered to himself: "If it's just a lack of food and grass, as long as you retreat in time, it won't be a big problem, but if your opponent sees the timing and fights, forcefully consuming your food, grass and ammunition, then it will be a big deal. Big trouble."
Sure enough, the officer with a rough voice sighed and said: "I should have known the mystery earlier, how could I have listened to the random ideas of these bastards! When we retreated south from there, the other party seemed to sense that we had limited food and grass, so they came back decisively. They fought with our army at night, and went to Tieling Guard for six to seven hundred miles, and fought for ten days! Six or seven hundred people were defeated before being picked up by the defenders of Tieling Guard. "
Another officer with beards on the table replied: "You have lost all your hands, but you have really slapped Marshal Chen in the face. Could it be that the Marshal is angry, so he issued an order to kick you back to the south?"
The officer with a rough voice laughed and said: "It's not as bad as you said. I pretended to be lost on the way back to lure the enemy to go deep. After I joined up with the Tieling guards that day, I immediately killed my carbine and sent The more than 2000 riders who chased me were all wiped out! The commander said that although I was aggressive, I was able to judge the situation and make up for my mistakes. I was still rewarded for my merit. So I specially approved the advanced courses of the Sanya Army Academy and let me go south to study, by the way. On vacation."
"Then congratulations bro, the promotion is coming soon!"
The officers present here are all veterans, so they naturally understand the meaning of being sent to a military academy for advanced studies.When the officer with a rough voice finishes his training in Sanya, the order for promotion and salary increase will arrive.
Tao Hongfang wanted to test Ha Jianyi, so he lowered his voice and asked him, "Brother Ha, what position do you think he is?"
Ha Jianyi said in a low voice: "According to what I know, the regular army leads the reorganized army to carry out combat missions, and the strength is usually one to five. He said just now that he brought [-] reorganized troops to the expedition, so there are at least [-] troops left." With the regular army, it is almost a battalion. According to the army establishment, he should be a major battalion commander."
Ha Jianyi turned his back to the people at the table, but Tao Hongfang and the others could see the rank mark on the officer's uniform. He was indeed a major. The question Tao Hongfang posed didn't bother Ha Jian at all. righteous.
Since the establishment of the Haihan Army, promotion has only been based on actual military exploits, and family background doesn't matter at all.Therefore, even the small soldiers in the Haihan Army know that as long as they fight the enemy bravely, there must be room for advancement.Takahashi Minami from the Army, Takemori from the Navy, and others were all descended generals, and they were promoted all the way to lead generals by virtue of their military exploits.
It is indeed a great achievement for this thick-voiced officer to wipe out two thousand enemy troops in one battle.Most of his personnel lost in the battle before were from the reorganized army, and the losses to Hai Han were limited, so he was not held accountable for his fault in command.If he lost a battalion of the regular army and only wiped out two thousand enemy troops, it would not be a great achievement, but a great mistake.
The officer with a rough voice said a few words modestly, and then asked the two bearded and black-faced people: "I only know that you two are on duty in Shandong. I don't know why you went south this time. Can you tell me a little bit?"
The two looked at each other, and the bearded officer replied: "We are escorting an important person to the south, but the specific situation cannot be disclosed."
The officer with a thick voice said: "If you escorted me to the high-ranking officials, you probably wouldn't even mention half a word. Since you can still say it, it should be someone from the Ming Dynasty?"
The bearded man nodded slightly to admit it, but there was no response in his mouth, obviously he didn't want to leak the news in this crowded place.
At this time, the three people at the table had finished their meal, and the officer with the thick voice stopped asking questions without interest, and the three got up and left the cafeteria quickly.
"Hongfang, guess who they escorted?" Bai Letong also wanted to take this opportunity to test Tao Hongfang's knowledge.
Tao Hongfang said: "The Great Ming Dynasty has surrendered to our country. It stands to reason that if the officials of the former Ming Dynasty were to go to the south to meet our high-ranking officials, although it was necessary to send someone to escort them, it would not be so mysterious... In my humble opinion, they escorted may be……"
Tao Hongfang knew the taboo, so he didn't say it rashly. Instead, he dipped a chopstick in the soup and quickly wrote the word "Zhu" on the table.
"I see the same thing as Hongfang!" Bai Letong immediately agreed when he saw this word.
Ning Zijing looked at Ha Jianyi and said, "Brother Ha, do you know that there is such a special mission in the army?"
Ha Jianyi said: "I really don't know about this. But if the matter is important, it is reasonable for the army to send a special escort."
During the reign of Chongzhen, many vassal princes of the Zhu family were entrusted in areas mainly in the Central Plains.After Haihan took over the empire of Ming Dynasty, he also faced the problem of resettlement of these princes of the Zhu clan.
During the reign of Ming Dynasty, these vassal kings were all the top dignitaries in the local area and had great influence in the fiefdom. In order to stabilize the transition and win over people's hearts, Haihan naturally had to treat these vassal kings with courtesy and make reasonable arrangements for their families .And in this process, of course, all kinds of overt and covert interest exchanges are indispensable. What kind of cooperation conditions can be reached between the two parties must be negotiated slowly.
During this process, if some members of the Zhu family want to have a direct interview with Haihan’s high-level executives, arrangements can also be made to send them to Sanya for a meeting depending on the situation.Like the two officers from Shandong sitting next to them just now, it is likely that they performed this special escort mission.
What Tao Hongfang didn't say clearly was that he knew that Haihan had such an arrangement before that, and that some members of the Zhu family had been to Sanya long ago and had met senior officials of the Executive Committee.
