Chapter 440: Your pattern is still too small
On the Baoqing Port Wharf, one left and one right, two armies stood solemnly, with the three thousand Chu troops led by Jiang Shangyan, and the two thousand five hundred soldiers led by Xiaomao. After extorting 500 people from Dazhu, the Panshi Camp once again supplemented the organization.
Between the two teams, Qin Feng, Cheng Wuben, Jiang Tao and others were standing.
In front of me, a high flagpole was hung from the national flag of Chu. It was roaring in the sea breeze. Today's sunshine was very good. The Chu flag fluttered in the wind, and the phoenix on the flag was almost about to ride the wind.
The ancient and majestic Chu State war song sounded, and Jiang Shangyan and others were almost singing the Chu State war song with all their strength. More than 3,000 people sang together, and the sound shook the clouds and nights. In the singing, the Chu State flag slowly descended.
Cheng Wuben hummed this song that he was familiar with. He learned this song from the age of twenty. He has been singing this song almost all his life, and he can only sing this song. It is normal for him to rise and fall. Only when he falls can he rise. He does not have as much emotion as Jiang Shangyan and others behind him, or because he is too old and has experienced too much.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Qin Feng beside him.
Qin Feng is naturally very familiar with this song, and even some of the Taiping soldiers behind him are probably very familiar with this song and have sang it many times.
There was no expression on Qin Feng's face, and his expression seemed a little bit dull, but Cheng Wuben still saw many things from those eyes, which were a hint of excitement, a hint of confusion, a hint of anger. Or at this time, he remembered the flag-raising and lowering ceremonies held under Zuo Lixing's command, or perhaps Qin Feng himself had presided over such things countless times.
Having emotions is a good thing for Cheng Wuben, and what he fears most is that he has no emotions.
The singing gradually stopped, and a soldier untied the flag from the rope. The two of them held the flag in half and walked to Cheng Wuben with their hands, knelt down on one knee, and presented the national flag.
Cheng Wuben bowed and took the flag, turned around and handed it to Jiang Tao on one side. Jiang Tao turned around and handed it to an officer beside him. The officer held the national flag in both hands, bowed to the two of them, turned around and strode towards the dock, stepped onto the springboard, and walked onto a sea boat that had been prepared long ago.
Anchors and offshore, this sea ship carrying the Chu flag grew farther and farther away in the eyes of countless soldiers, and eventually became a black spot in their eyes until it disappeared above sea level.
Cheng Wuben turned around and nodded at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng finally had a hint of expression on his face, and he turned around and looked at the kitten.
Two officers walked out from the kitten, holding the Taiping Army's battle flag. The two strode to the flagpole, shook the flag and tied it to the rope.
The passionate war song sounded. Compared with the old, simple and long-standing national anthem of Chu, the Taiping Army's war song was more intense, and the tune was full of sonorous murderous aura.
The flag slowly took off and fluttered in the wind. In a ball of fire, a big sword with a shiny red one was inserted into the fire. The fire sword was similar to the phoenix of Chu's fire.
All the Chu soldiers looked at the Taiping Army soldiers on the opposite side singing their war songs proudly, and everyone showed complicated expressions on their faces, because from today on, they must also sing this war song to go to the battlefield.
Above Baoqing Port, the flames of fire fighting swords flutter in the wind.
"The flag-giving ceremony began!" Huang Dali, beside Jiang Tao, temporarily acted as a ceremonial officer, but he shouted loudly in his loud voice.
The horse monkey beside Qin Feng took a step forward, holding a wooden box in his hand. Cheng Wuben, Jiang Tao and others silently took a few steps back and stood behind Qin Feng.
Qin Feng looked up and looked at Jiang Shangyan opposite him.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Shangyan held her head up and walked to Qin Feng with the steps of a soldier. She clasped her fists and bowed.
"Baoqing Camp will be the Yan of the Yangtze River, report to you and ask for the flag." He said loudly.
Qin Feng took out a new battle flag from the box held by Ma Hou and handed it to Jiang Shangyan with both hands.
"Today, the Taiping Army Baoqing Camp Flag will be presented to your battle camp. I hope your battle camp will move forward bravely under the guidance of this battle banner and kill the enemy without stopping!" Qin Feng said.
"As for your order!" After taking the battle flag, Jiang Shangyan straightened up, turned around suddenly, and shook the new battle flag of Baoqing Camp.
The white background is surrounded by red edges, and in a circle in the middle, a warship floats on it. This battle flag was discussed and decided by the Chu generals such as Jiang Shangyan, and other Chu army generals, meaning that they came from the sea and from another distant country. This is the meaning of not forgetting their roots. The generals of the Taiping Army were originally opposed, but for Qin Feng, it was meaningless to make a fuss with the other party on these trivial matters. Time is a weapon to change everything. He believed that slowly, this now reluctant Baoqing camp will definitely be truly integrated into the entire Taiping Army.
After the flag was awarded, the soul of the dust settled. In name, Baoqing's Chu army disappeared and was completely reorganized by the Taiping Army. At least Qin Feng explained to the Qi people this way, that is, Baoqing's Chu army was desperate and surrendered to him. As for whether the Qi people believed it or not, what does it matter? Or even if they didn't believe it, they would force themselves to believe it. Believe that this Chu army did surrender to the Taiping Army.
In the conference hall, there was a huge map of Yue State hanging on the wall, led by Qin Feng, Cheng Wuben, Jiang Tao, Ma Xiangnan, Xiaomao, and Jiang Shangyan all gathered here. The first military meeting after the merger of the two armies officially began after the flag-raising ceremony. The person who presided over the meeting was Cheng Wuben, the newly appointed top leader of the Taiping Army General Staff.
Ma Xiangnan is not a military officer, so at the end, he had a very confused feeling in his eyes. The senior officials of Chu were having a great time talking with the rebellion announced by Chu, and he was also one of them. Now he is the county magistrate of Changyang County, which is really ridiculous.
However, this was also a very challenging thing for him. Changyang County was already poor. The war over the past two years and the charcoal of countless creatures made him even worse. To redevelop Changyang County, he felt that it was almost impossible for him, who was originally a civil servant.
But this is a temptation.
He himself is a very adventurous person, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to invite Ying to Yue Kingdom to open up the second battlefield. You must know that his brother is now a high-ranking minister in Chu Kingdom. If he is willing to stay in Chu Kingdom and have high officials and generous salaries, he will not be able to escape. Be a comfortable and comfortable official.
But this is not his pursuit. He doesn't want to live under the shadow of his brother for the rest of his life. If he can successfully open up the second battlefield, his achievements will far exceed his brother's influence on this battle between Qi and Chu. At that time, he will be able to return to Chu State to the real home in the bright clothes.
The current situation is far beyond his original estimate. The matter was so complicated that he could not control it, so that the State of Chu had to send Cheng Wuben, who had a more transcendent status, to continue this matter. Moreover, after Cheng Wuben arrived, the result was much beyond his expectations. Baoqing's Chu army, including Cheng Wuben himself, had transformed into a member of the Taiping Army. This was too incredible. When he came to Yue State with great ambitions from Chu State, he would never have thought that it would be the ending today.
Cheng Wuben began to speak, and Ma Xiangnan forced himself to intimidate himself and focus his energy on the discussion.
"General Qin, Luo Yishui will definitely invade the incident in the near future. If it were not expected, Pan Hong's army would be his target, because this army is basically Luo Yishui's old subordinates. As long as Luo Yishui reappears in this army, Pan Hong will definitely be unable to control this army anymore. But I really can't think of how Luo Yishui can get rid of the attacks between Chen Ci and Xiao Zhenggang, or he will collude with Qin. But even so, the possibility of Luo Yishui's success will not be too high." Cheng Wuben shook his head, a little confused.
"When Luo Yishui left Taiping City, he had a deep conversation with me. From his tone, he could tell that he was full of confidence. This is not a casual person. I believe he must have his plan, so our next plan is based on his successful start of this storm." Qin Feng said affirmatively.
"Okay!" Cheng Wuben nodded and said, "General Qin will definitely want to manage Zhengyang County next, right?"
"Not bad!" Qin Feng said affirmatively: "Zhengyang County is a wealthy place. If he is taken down, it will be of great help to our Taiping Army. Now we only have two places, Shayang County and Taiping City, which provide tens of thousands of people. The financial resources are very difficult. Eating Zhengyang County will be of great help to our future development."
Cheng Wuben smiled, looked at Qin Feng, and slowly said, "General Qin, if that's the case, then I have to say that your situation is still too small, at least, your grasp of the entire form is still not very accurate."
Hearing that Cheng Wuben was so rude, the kitten couldn't help but show anger.
Qin Feng politely bowed: "Cheng Shuai is very experienced. He eats more salt than I eat, and crosses more bridges than I have walked, and is about to ask for advice. I really don't have enough experience with such big scenes. Because I didn't stand high enough before, I naturally don't see far enough now. This is exactly where I need Cheng Shuai."
"According to General Qin, if Luo Yishui is sure to succeed, then we assume that Xiao Zhenggang is destroyed, Luo Yishui will attack Yuejing directly. With Luo Yishui's influence and Luo's influence in Yueguo, coupled with the dissatisfaction of the Yueguo people with the court, they are afraid that wherever the military flag goes, the final result will inevitably be that the Emperor Yueguo in Yuejing will lead the army to fight against Luo Yishui and die."
“There is this possibility.”
