Chapter 290 The time has come

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, classes started again at the military academy.

Deng Jian was named deputy director and officially met the students.

There are Premier Song Lin’s government affairs and heavy troops in Yangzhou. Deng Jian’s repentance was set after the Lantern Festival, so he had a ten-day time to "train" the students.

After a month of study, eating and living together, the students from the four classes were almost familiar with each other.

Whether it is daily exercises or small classes in each class, it is also getting better.

Deng Jian has always been taciturn. He is not as proficient in worldly love as the leader of the village, and is as knowledgeable as Master Lin, and is not as solemn as Monk Feng, and is awe-inspiring as he is, nor is he as approachable as Shuijin, and is involuntarily approachable as Shuijin.

Deng Jian only appeared three times in one day.

Once, it was a small gathering on the sixth day of the first lunar month. He followed Huo Wu, stood on the stage, and met the sentient beings; once, it was a "military exercise" on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and another was a gathering of students on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

People are more afraid of Deng Jian, the first general of the Chuzhou Army.

After getting along these three times, I didn’t feel a little amiable.

In front of Deng Jian, no one dared to come forward to get close to him; in private, students from all dormitories gathered together, and there was a controversy when they talked about the number two figure of Chuzhou Army.

"The Taiwei's aura is already imminent, and Marshal Deng's aura is even more fierce than the Taiwei!"

"That's murderous intent! If you don't talk about other places, just talk about Jinling, how many people did Marshal Deng kill?"

"Hmph! How many good things do those local snakes have? They are afraid of not killing them. How could they be honest and obedient?"

"After all, the killing is too heavy, so the Taiwei Lord has never killed him in vain..."

"Master Taiwei treats people sincerely and kindly..."

Those who have controversial views on Deng Jian are mostly students from the logistics class and the staff class.

They are not on the front line of the war, and most of them are scholars who speak out, so they think more.

This is what the different paths of literature and martial arts are saying.

But for the students in the war general class, even if they were not under Deng Jian, they had many opportunities to see Deng Jian's bravery during the Chuzhou Army's conquest.

"Marson Deng's weapons are also two maces. They will win every battle along the way. In the future, they will definitely become a famous general no less than the fifth coach!"

"The Deng family lived with the fifth family and married for generations. Many warlords from ancestors followed the fifth general to conquer..."

"It is also crucial that Marshal Deng be the first to be the leader of our Chuzhou army today!"

"Look at the grandsons of the staff squad, who looked like a little chick in front of Marshal Deng, and did not dare to breathe, haha!"

“…”

In fact, whether it is the staff members who are not prepared and examined Deng Jian, a powerful general, or the increasingly fanatical praise of the general class, Deng Jian is always at peace.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Deng Jian took his personal guards to Yangzhou again.

When the end of the first lunar month and the military academy students graduated, they would draw suitable people to Yangzhou and Deng Jian would return to Jinling to prepare for the war.

That's right, it's just preparations for war.

Just a few days after the New Year, news came back in the capital.

The day before the closure of the 12th lunar month, the cabinet issued an edict to transfer Shanxi troops to the south to suppress the rebellion, with the target of the Baishan Army, Taizhou, who had already split the land and claimed to be the king of Huaian Prefecture; it also transferred the Hanzhong Army to Wuchang Prefecture, and followed the previous imperial court to encircle and suppress Qichun Baishan Army, who had proclaimed the emperor.

Although the main purpose of the imperial court this time was not the Chuzhou Army in Jinling, no one could say that the subsequent rebellion would be like this.

The Qichun Army had the largest territory and the most soldiers, but Hangzhou was defeated in the front and lost several prefectures in a row. It was only after retreating to Hubei that it was able to preserve it.

Before, the imperial court had a large army in Wuchang Prefecture and then transferred Hanzhong troops to the place, so life in the Qichun army was difficult.

If the Qichun army could not resist and was wiped out by the imperial army, the Chuzhou army would face the pressure of the army.

However, the court is now corrupt and the military reserves are insufficient. There are not many officers and soldiers who really dare to kill the enemy in front of the battle, but they are more robbing the places under the banner of quelling rebellions.

"If you have the power, you will have the help, but if you lose the power, you will have few help." Such a counter-rebellion army faces the Qichun army with strong morale, and there is a greater possibility of confrontation and there is not much chance of victory.

In this way, the imperial court's increase in troops in the direction of Qichun was an opportunity for the Chuzhou army.

Shui Jin prepares for war in Luzhou and takes over the remaining three prefectures of Huainan Road in one fell swoop, so there is no need to worry that the Qichun army will be dispatched to stop it.

It is said that "the world is a family", but with the Chaohu War, the Qichun Army and the Chuzhou Army are either friends or enemies, and they will fight sooner or later.

The Chuzhou Army's conquest was not considered a robbery.

On the contrary, the Chuzhou army in Huai'an and Taizhou were not really making any noise.

Otherwise, the Taizhou army would lose sight of one thing and would not be able to resist the rebels, which would indeed be more harmful than good for the Chuzhou army.

After all, the Taizhou Army and the Chuzhou Army are now in contact, and they are considered friendly troops, and they are dependent on each other.

It would be better if the Taizhou army could resist the imperial court to suppress the rebels. If they could not resist, they would not be able to say that the Chuzhou army would have to help.

According to the previous Chuzhou Army's plan, it was named under the Bozhou Army, with the Bozhou Army as the northern vassal barbarian. But who made the Bozhou Army the weakest among the Baishan Army? It is not now.

With Qichun white shirt and Taizhou white shirt in front, the court also knew the background of the Bozhou army and knew that they were the remnants of the leader of the Maitreya Sect. They occupied one or two states, and compared with other white shirts, they were only a false name, so they were naturally not taken seriously by the court. The Chuzhou division under the Bozhou army did not attract attention.

However, even if it is taken seriously, the court cannot temporarily quell the rebellion in Jiangnan Road.

After all, Henan Road and Huainan Road are corrupt, Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road are mostly prefectures either under the Chuzhou Army or under the Qichun Army. It is easy for the imperial court to guard the Hangzhou Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture is still easy. Where can there be any troops to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion?

As for the Fujian and Guangdong garrisons, the journey was long and it was not easy to go north; but the Miao people lived in mixed places in the south, and the places were not peaceful, so the imperial garrisons had no time to take care of them.

Now the Chuzhou Army is facing the greatest opportunity, and the Taizhou Army and Qichun Army are completely restrained.

Only by taking the Taizhou Army to take down Suzhou Prefecture and the Jiangnan East Guards, the Chuzhou Army was truly at ease.

Deng Jian came back in early February to prepare for the war for the "East Expedition".

By the end of the first lunar month, the military academy's training courses were almost the same, and all kinds of assessments and ratings were left.

If you have high grades, you will be upgraded and reused.

If you have a good grade, use your strengths.

Those with inferior grades will be demoted.

Students who can get military academy quotas have their own strengths. Some are the middle-class people, and only two or three are inferior. They are not capable enough, and those who violate school rules and regulations or act misconduct in private have misconducted their background and are blacklisted by the Ministry of Supervision.

This misconduct is naturally not a minor problem, but a major problem that is verified.

These people were held accountable by the Ministry of Supervision for wrongful resignation.

As for "reducing the level of listening", it is a tactful statement.

After all, after two months of military academy, all the coaches taught them real abilities.

If these "misconducted students" were directly removed from the list and they were transferred to other white-shirt soldiers, it would be the loss of Chuzhou white-shirts.

With the principle of "reduction and listening", there are external explanations.

In fact, the three military academy students who were rated as inferior were the "hard labor camps". They were the chiefs of the towns and chiefs to listen to them.

As for whether they are satisfied or not, they are not picky, there is no room for them to speak.

Several students from Scouts had good grades in the assessment, and the worst ones were also "middle-to-high". For example, Huo Bao, Li Yuan, and Zhu Qiang were all "middle-to-high", and Hou Xiaoming and Shi San even received the "high-to-high" assessment.

You should know that there are only three or five students who are evaluated in each class.

The young Scout generals are so old that they can stand out with their fathers and brothers, which shows their qualifications and efforts.

After the evaluation, unlike other people who follow the scores according to their grades, the small leader of the scouts still returned to the child soldiers and began to prepare for the war.

"Call" does not mean that "upgrade" is also temporarily suspended, but it will be like their personnel booklets.

After all, the worst of them are now at the thousand households, and there are many 5,000 deputy generals, so it is no longer easy to get promoted.

This will be added when the Department of Children's War expands its troops in the future and they make another contribution.

"Dad, do you really want your son to follow Suzhou?"

When Huo Bao heard this news, he couldn't believe it and hurriedly searched for his father to verify it.

You know, my dad was reluctant to let him go out before.

After all, the current conquest is different from the previous battles against Hezhou and Luzhou, and the risks are even greater.

"The only ones who can lead troops to fight now are your cousin, Shui Jin and Monk Feng. Compared with the two places in the west, it is more secure in the east. Follow your cousin to take down Changzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Songjiang Prefecture..."

Huo Wu explained carefully.

As for Du Lao Ba’s troops, they have been transformed into defenders and are responsible for the public security of Jinling.

Half of the old subordinates led by Ma Juzi returned to the command of the Mazhaimai and became logistics auxiliary soldiers; half of them were under Huo Hu's name and became a partial army of the Shuijin army.

At the moment when the Chuzhou army attacks Suzhou Prefecture, there is no need to worry about the Taizhou army crossing the river to make trouble. Deng Jian, the strongest, led his troops. Huo Bao led the Children's War Department to fight with him, which is the safest.

Huo Bao was also somewhat expectant and said: "Not only Suzhou, if you take down tens of thousands of garrisons, the Chuzhou army can not only replenish its future troubles, but also replenish its troops. Mainly on the Songjiang Prefecture, the seaside salt field is not less than the Jiangbei Salt Field. If you take down Songjiang Prefecture, you will have more military supplies in the future!"

The two salt fields that "Jiuye" gave him were under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture.

The Chuzhou Army recruited more than 100,000 troops in Jinling Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture and Taiping Prefecture in October last year, and it was already too late to make ends meet.

In order to solve this urgent problem, a thousand strong soldiers were sent to Lingshui Gold Mine before the New Year to mine day and night.

According to the news sent back from Lingshui, the main vein of the gold mine has been mined almost the same, with only sporadic branches left.

In another one or two months, sporadic veins will be mined almost the same, and the Lingshui gold mine will become a waste mine.

The early opening of source has also become the biggest problem that the Chuzhou army needs to solve.

There is iron ore in Changzhou, salt farm in Songjiang Prefecture, and Suzhou is the granary. If you take these three places as soon as possible, the logistics supply of Chuzhou Army will be much calmer.
