In late July, the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Black Mountain Corps suddenly appeared in the suburbs of Anshan provincial capital, like a divine army descending from the sky, and defeated the anti-rebel army organized by An Laoheng's eldest son An Mingyuan in one fell swoop, lifting the siege of Anshan provincial capital.
The 100,000-strong anti-rebel army organized by the five major brigade commanders of Anshan in the northwest collapsed, and the anti-rebel alliance existed in name only.
Almost at the same time, in Anshan Yanzhou Road, the Black Mountain Brigade surrounded and annihilated more than 20,000 people of An Zhenglong's army, won a great victory on Qinghua Island, and captured more than 10,000 soldiers.
The two battles shocked the Northern Territory.
When Lu Ming saw the military newspaper, he could not hide his excitement. He personally sent congratulatory messages to the 1st Brigade and the Mountain Brigade, calling the two brigades "tiger minions."
He also approved the expansion of the 1st Mixed Brigade and personally named the 1st Mixed Brigade, upgrading it to the "1st Guards Division" and the Wanzhou Mountain Brigade, upgrading it to the "Heishanbao Mountain Brigade".
…
In terms of the entire Andesian landform, Amjudo belongs to the basin area and is a rare area with large grasslands, wetlands and other green areas.
Because the water resources are more abundant than those in neighboring provinces, Yanzhou Province is not as dependent on the weather for food as other provinces. Yanzhou Province is also one of the granaries in the southeast of Anshan. The brigade commander An Zhenglong is able to stay here, so he is naturally strong. He is also considered one of the most capable generals among the brigade commanders of Anshan.
But these have become a thing of the past. During the Battle of Qinghua Island, An Zhenglong committed suicide by shooting himself, but he did not die. The chief of staff tried to grab his pistol, but the bullet missed his vital part. He was rescued by the field hospital of the Black Mountain Corps and survived. He is still recovering from his injuries.
After meeting the secret envoy sent by Prince of Black Mountain Fort himself, An Zhenglong was moved to tears of gratitude. He was willing to lead his troops to surrender and called on his old subordinates to accept reform.
He said that his previous self was dead and that his life was saved by the Montenegrin Army. From then on, he would be loyal to the Montenegrin Army and to His Royal Highness the Prince.
An Zhenglong's troops are also undergoing reorganization and are ranked as the 104th Brigade in the Montenegrin Corps.
The mountain brigade was reorganized in Yanzhou City, the headquarters of Yanzhou Provincial Office, and assisted in the military control of various urban areas. At the same time, a large number of cadres were transferred from Heishan to strengthen the administrative agencies of the four cities in Yanzhou.
However, there is naturally some chaos in the countryside now. An Zhenglong is tough and the big guilds had no room to survive here before.
This is the case with Heihuo County. In this small town of more than 10,000 people, the Heishan people sent a county magistrate (commissioner of the county office) with only two guards. Although he quickly took over the power, at most he only ruled the county office in the county town. People in the county town and rural areas still lived their usual life. Moreover, due to the war, there were more thieves who robbed the roads, robbers in the dark, and so on.
Heihuo County originally belonged to Matouying City in Yanzhou Dao, but the Heishan people implemented a new policy, and the cities and counties in a Dao became parallel administrative units. They no longer had any affiliation with each other and were all under the unified management of the Dao Office.
Heihuo County is one of the poorest counties in Yanzhou Road. There are no asphalt roads in the county, and the main road leading to the county seat is just a loess road, which becomes muddy during the rainy season.
Recently, a long convoy drove along this loess road, mostly green-roofed trucks, as well as buses, armored vehicles, etc.
He did not go to the county town, but entered a village called Lao Liuzhuang.
The villagers were fearful and uneasy at first, but gradually they began to welcome these uninvited guests, because they paid a lot of money to rent their houses, buy their food, hire their people as guides, etc. Everyone in the village benefited, and those who were smart made a small fortune in a short time. They sold local specialties to them, and many of them made a few dollars in a few days.
Inside the RV in the grove at the end of Lao Liu Village, Lu Ming was reading the telegram that had just arrived from Anshan Provincial Capital.
A secret message from Shi Dayong, commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade, now commander of the 1st Guards Division.
The telegram said that the aide next to Miao Baifeng, called "Mr. Qin", had disappeared.
I heard from people around Miao Baifeng that Mr. Qin was a gigolo and there were many rumors about him. Miao Baifeng was so biased in listening to them, but in fact she was being persuaded by that gigolo all day long.
This was what Lu Ming was most concerned about. Looking at the telegram, he couldn't help but shake his head.
At the end of the telegram, Shi Dayong again proposed that after rest and recuperation, the Guards Division should march into the northwest to completely wipe out the Anyuanming coalition forces.
His telegram was full of heroic spirit, and seemed to indicate that he was ready to take charge of everything.
Lu Ming looked at him and smiled.
Shi Dayong is Shi Tou, and together with Datou, they are both veteran figures.
He was in his thirties and still homeless, leading a dangerous life as a mercenary. But after he followed me, his life gradually became stable and prosperous, and he even married a beautiful college student.
As a gift to the two of them, he gave a total of one million.
Datou, Lao Catfish and Shi Dayong, the three elders, actually gave almost one million yuan each through various festive ceremonies.
At that time, I just wanted to make them worry-free and that wealth was not a problem at all. They could focus on their careers and not focus on making money.
I also know that human greed is insatiable. After completing small goals, people may aspire to bigger goals.
But at the very least, we should first create conditions for them to live an extremely luxurious life without having to worry about money.
But looking at Shi Dayong, I can feel his pride from the telegram.
If his wife Liu Xinqin was by his side, she would never have allowed him to send such a telegram.
In the past, he would follow my orders regarding strategic planning, and would not make decisions on his own, nor would he repeatedly express his opinions.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. Frontline commanders naturally have to have their own ideas.
However, this is also a signal that is worth thinking about. After all, if it is at the battle level, he can let it go, but at the strategic level, he has repeatedly hoped to change his original intention.
All he wanted to do was to achieve great things and feel that he could sweep away everything, instead of really considering the entire empire.
Sighing softly, Lu Ming picked up the tea and took a sip. This kind of thing was really tiring, much more tiring than fighting a lawsuit.
It seems that under authoritarianism, the relationship between the founding fathers and the leaders has always been a big problem.
I have only just started, but there are already signs of problems.
Shi Dayong is a little simple-minded. Big Head, Lao Catfish, and the later rising stars Zhao Jingxun and Mao Dingyuan do not have this problem like himself.
Most of them are diligent in thinking. If they think about what they have done, if they sum it up, then what else could it be but a god with good fortune
Sometimes when I look back on it, I find myself incredible.
But I know that if it weren't for Bizhu and Liuli and the loyal supporters of the old dynasty they trained, how could I have come this far even if I had the knowledge from my previous life
Even in business, he was in control of everything, and for some transactions, he relied on Biju's people to conduct investigations full of conspiracies and intrigues.
Not to mention the political and military aspects, even including the relocation of Sanmai Company to a state that he can control, some of the keys to breaking the deadlock, whether setting traps or solving problems himself, all rely on the extraordinary people inherited from Baozhu Palace and Liuli Palace.
You can have good ideas, but where does the execution come from
Do you really think that all development plans will go smoothly just because you have ideas
Not to mention, if I didn’t have their protection, I would have been shot to death in the stinking ditch like a stray dog three years ago.
Therefore, in the past four or five years, I have come to where I am now. Outsiders don't know what I have, but people like Datou, Lao Catfish, and Zhao Jingxun know it well. How can they not be afraid? Only this stone egg has a simple mind. If this continues, this guy will definitely become arrogant.
He kept muttering the old nickname "Stone Egg". Thinking of the past, Lu Ming felt warm in his heart again. When he has time, he will have a drink with him and have a good chat.
After all, the most difficult thing about the relationship between a boss and his subordinates is that they become too successful and threaten their boss, but this absolutely does not exist in my case, so there is no fundamental problem.
