Section 34 Li Wei
Cui Wenxiu, who led the Second Division, served as the forefront of the expedition to Luzon. The light cavalry of the two regiments advanced very fast, while the heavy cavalry and the light infantry of the two regiments were not slow either. After two or three years of training, the Second Division has become one of the ace troops under Wufeng, and is ranked at the forefront of Wufeng's army in terms of combat effectiveness and combat experience.
What disappointed Cui Wenxiu was that this expedition seemed like a marching. The scouts sent out had gone out several times, and the search range had been expanded several times, but they never found the whereabouts of the enemy, and even the enemy's reconnaissance troops, were not even found. Seeing that the target, Vito City, was less than 100 kilometers away, which made him both disappointed and confused.
"Tianfang, is there any information from Vito City?" Wufeng held a teacup in his hand and looked at the military map hanging on the tent. It took him a long time to ask Ling Tianfang who was reading the information.
"Information from all aspects has been gathered, and it was not beyond our expectations." Ling Tianfang could not hide the excitement in his heart.
"Oh? How is the situation with Gaoyue people?" Wu Feng locked his eyes firmly on the map, which is located in the Great Hengduan Mountains in the eastern part of Luzon. The map also has darker colors, indicating that the terrain of that area is different from the alluvial plains of the Mesopotamia and shallow hills to the west. It is a vast mountain. It is not only a place where the Gaoyue people have reproduced and lived for a long time, but also a cage that restricts the further development and growth of the Gaoyue people.
"The deputy commander of Shanzhu's deputy division has led a corps of a third division and sneaked into the place from Jinzhou ten days ago. Because Shi Liu and his colleagues were very supportive and cooperative, things went smoothly. Xiao Tang also sent Deputy Director Mu Haoran to lead a large number of personnel to enter. Now the work there is in full swing. According to the information sent back by the deputy commander of Shanzhu's deputy division, the militia organization of the Luzon Gaoyue people has been reorganized. After streamlined selection, 25,000 people have been selected. Now the deputy commander of Shanzhu's deputy division has been reorganized.
The troops under his command have reorganized the 25,000 people into five corpses, but the logistics equipment and materials such as weapons, armor and other logistics equipment are in short supply, and these new soldiers have not undergone formal training to cope with the real battle. Deputy Director Mu Haoran is also conducting further detailed research on the future expansion of the Gaoyue people in Luzon, the division of administrative areas, and the composition of administrative agencies and Shi Liu and others. The progress is also great, and there will be results soon." Ling Tianfang made an orderly brief report on the situation of the Gaoyue people in Gaoyue people.
"Oh? Who made Shanzhu arbitrarily recruit the militias of Gao Yue people? He dared to act so boldly! Isn't our army enough?" Wu Feng's eyebrows immediately frowned and his tone became stern.
"Sir, this ````````````````` Ling Tianfang, who had always been erect, suddenly became a little squeaky at this time.
Long before Shanzhu set out, when Ling Tianfang made an explanation before leaving, Shanzhu proposed that the Luzon Gaoyue militia could be incorporated to enhance the strength of the Northwest Army. Mulige was also present at that time and strongly advocated the inclusion of the strong forces, because the quality of the Gaoyue soldiers was obvious to all. Ling Tianfang also supported it very much, but since the addition of the army was a major event and had to be approved by Wufeng, he could not make the decision, so he dared not agree, but could not resist Shanzhu and Mulige's repeated lobbying. In addition, Cui Wenxiu, who heard the news, Kamapov also rushed to strike while the iron was hot, and the last few people discussed a tricky idea.
Ling Tianfang was about to rest with his woman in the evening, and intentionally ran to Wufeng to report some of the situations of the Gaoyue clan of Luzon. Wufeng heard that there was no special situation for a while and was a little impatient, so he told Ling Tianfang that he could handle it at his discretion. So Ling Tianfang, who had received Shangfang's sword, went back and agreed to Shanzhu's request.
But Ling Tianfang was still worried about this matter. After all, this was a strait. He knew that the paper could not keep the fire, so he could only hold on. Today, when Wufeng asked about it, he knew that he could not hide it, so he had to report it truthfully.
"Sir, I heard that the militia of the Gaoyue tribe of Luzon is not weak. If we can recruit the elites, it will be a big help to us." Mulige, who was standing next to him, saw that Ling Tianfang could not answer, and quickly gritted his teeth to defend his deputy.
"Oh, that's great, then I don't need to know. I'll report to me what I'm doing. Just do it."
Wufeng's voice was not high and his tone was very plain, but Ling Tianfang, Mulige, and Kamapov, who were standing next to him, were shocked when he heard this, and his back was sweating profusely and frightened. He immediately knelt on the ground. Ling Tianfang first said: "Sir, the responsibility for this matter is on Tianfang alone. I agreed to the deputy commander of Shanzhu Division to recruit the Luzon Gaoyue militia. It has nothing to do with others. Please punish me."
Mulige also quickly explained: "This matter was done by his subordinate instructed the deputy commander of Shanzhu's division, and it has nothing to do with Lord Ling. Please punish his subordinates."
Kamapov also quickly apologized: "Sir, I have a part in this matter, please punish me."
The captain of the Guards Regiment, Song Tianxiong, who had just walked into the tent, the logistics director Jing Li (the deputy captain Lu Ping stayed in Qingyang to be responsible for the safety of Hua Dilu and the girls) and Yun Yi didn't know what happened. Wufeng looked unhappy, and the three adults who were kneeling on the ground were Ling Tianfang, Mulige, and Kamapov. They were shocked and hurriedly knelt behind them.
When Wufeng saw the three people behind him coming in, he knelt behind for no reason. He was a little funny and waved his hand and said, "It's not your business, you can get up."
Song Tianxiong, Jing Li and Yun Yi stood up for no reason and walked aside. Seeing Ling, Mu and Ka still kneeling on the ground, they wanted to ask something, but they didn't dare. Wufeng glanced at the three people kneeling on the ground, snorted softly, and then said, "You guys get up too." His tone also eased a little.
The three of them then slowly stood up, still lowering their heads, and did not dare to make a sound.
"You three, and Cui Wenxiu, huh, I don't know yet. Without your Ling Tianfang's consent, he wouldn't dare to decide such a big deal." He slowly paced in the tent, "But Tianfang, you also know that now our northwest is in extremely difficult finances, and the military expenditure accounts for the vast majority. Even this time, I did Xiao Tang's work repeatedly, and he reluctantly agreed. I had promised him that he would not expand the army in the near future. But you are so good that you have added more than 20,000 people to me quietly. Do you know that these more than 20,000 people will receive 100,000 gold coins per month, not to mention anything else."
Ling, Mu and Ka also knew that what Wufeng said was the facts, and they were wronged, so they had to not speak out.
"Even if we can achieve the expected goals this time, fiscal revenue cannot be improved at once. Don't you think about the difficulties?" Speaking of this, Wu Feng also had a headache about how to explain to Xiao Tang after going back.
"Sir, we are indeed responsible for this matter. Please punish me. However, I asked you for instructions at that time." Ling Tianfang's mood had greatly eased, so he plucked up the courage to explain.
"Oh? Is this happening? When?" Wu Feng was very surprised. Why didn't he have any impression of him?
"That night, when I reported to the adults, I signaled that I could handle it as appropriate, so I discussed this matter with everyone and agreed that it could be made before I made this decision." Another day lowered his head, not looking at Wufeng, and told the situation that day.
Wufeng thought for a long time before recalling the situation at that time. He glanced at Mu again and said, both of them lowered their heads, but there was always an indescribable feeling of holding back smile on his face.
Wufeng suddenly realized that good guy, he actually dared to collude with me. He remembered that he was about to work with Guan Hua and some women in Fei, and was in a state of desire. He was wondering why Ling Tianfang would come to report some irrelevant things. It turned out that he was going to mess with his own words.
"Okay, Ling Tianfang! You dare to "`````````" Wufeng was angry and funny. Suddenly he remembered that Yun Yi was still beside him, so he stopped him quickly. He thought that this idea must not be what Ling Tianfang could think of. He glanced at the two of them. The two of them quickly lowered their heads, "I will settle the score with you three in the future, and Cui Wenxiu!"
Just as the three of them were learning from Wufeng, the initiator of this incident was proud of the Gaoyue people living in the east of Luzon, and was intoxicated by gaining such a powerful army.
"General Shanzhu, how do you think of us men?" Elder Shi Liu, who was standing aside, asked with a smile that was directing his subordinates to train the new Gao Yue who had only been selected.
"Not bad, quite good! As long as the equipment is in place and I only have half a year, I promise to train them into an iron armored hero!" Shanzhu nodded and said proudly: "We Gaoyue people are not good at physical fitness. It is difficult to find a few that can be compared on the mainland."
"Yes, General Shanzhu, then when can you let them become one of you?" Shi Liujin's subsequent words made the smile on the proud Shanzhu's face froze.
"It's so fast. When Lord Li and his friends take Luzon, we will go and meet up with Lord Li, and then we can officially join Lord Li and become one of them." After a moment of silence, Shanzhu quickly followed Shi Liu to comfort Shi Liu, but he knew in his heart whether the trick he had played before he could fool him and make a big question mark.
