Eight hundred and two Hexi Corps

After a long period of worry, after suddenly hearing the news, Wulag was overjoyed and felt that his life had been redeemed, and that the light and flowers had become clear and bright again.

After ecstasy, he began to calm down. After thinking about Ren Dejing, who had become a prisoner and was sent to Zhongdu, he suddenly felt that he should consider the future.

It is said that the revenge operation has ended, but who can guarantee whether there will be a settlement in the future?

Moreover, there are two tribe members of Ren Dejing and one subordinate hidden here. These three people can be regarded as his death talisman. If these three death talismans cannot be solved, it is hard to say how bright his future will be. Maybe he will be killed as a typical example.

To be honest, as a fugitive on the grassland, in order to survive, Wulag, who originally valued courage and loyalty, began to have a more flexible moral bottom line.

Originally, betrayal was absolutely unacceptable to him. Betrayal means death, the end of life, and will be abandoned by the gods on the grassland, and there is no way to live.

But after experiencing death and escaping by chance, he suddenly felt that betrayal was nothing compared to death.

He is still alive, which means that betrayal is acceptable.

After having a flexible moral bottom line, Wulag felt that his world suddenly became clear, and many things that were originally unsightly became transparent.

So he understood that being a person who believes in the truth must have many worries and will not live happily.

Being a person with a flexible moral bottom line will not have many worries, but it will definitely be very happy.

The future Xixia is obviously no longer the Ren family is in power, but the Ming Dynasty. It is hard to say whether the Li family has the final say or the Ming Dynasty emperor has the final say.

Although Ren is kind to him, he may not need to hang himself on a tree. He must have flexible and flexible skills, otherwise it will be difficult to go further in this world of cannibalism.

With such an idea, Wulag invited Ren Chunzhong and the other two to have a delicious meal, and finally arranged a few women to accompany them to enjoy the night of joy, and then fell asleep like a dead dog.

Then, he tied the three people into rice dumplings, packed them, and gave them to Jiang Liangping, who came to the Weifu Army of Heishan to accept Wulag's surrender.

Because the Weifu Military Office of Heishan is located in the Hetao Plain area, which is famous in the south of the Shuishang Jiangnan and an important Hexi grain production area, Su Haisheng and Han Wei attach great importance to this place and asked Jiang Liangping to come here in person to do business.

He had received a confession from Wulag before, saying that he was willing to accept the control of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was Ren Dejing's old subordinate and had received the favor of Ren Dejing, he never expected Ren Dejing to kill the monarch.

When dealing with such unfaithful and unrighteous people, Wulag was ashamed to join him, so he decided to obey the instructions of the king and the queen mother, obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty, and to show his sincerity, he decided to hand over Ren Chunzhong, Ren Deren and Jin Ge, who had escaped here before, to the Ming Dynasty for disposal.

"This kind of rebellion that betrays the Lord is not worth my follower at all. I am ashamed to join him and will break up with Ren's family from now on!"

Wulag performed a political performance in front of Jiang Liangping, looking jealous of evil, as if Ren Dejing had an irreconcilable hatred with him. He wished he could eat his flesh and sleep with his skin. He could not show his inner anger if he had to do so.

Jiang Liangping looked at his performance with a smile, without any fluctuations in his heart. He had nothing to say about such shameless people. He despised them very much, but now they are indispensable. It is because of them that they do not need to spend more force.

Of course, he accepted the three heavyweight prisoners Ren Deren, Ren Chunzhong and Jin Ge with a smile, and said that he would definitely ask for merit in front of the Ming Emperor for Wulag and let him be promoted.

Wulag smiled like a fat man with a 200-pound pound, and the flesh on his face and body trembled rhythmically.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Wulag, Jiang Liangping inspected the 20,000 troops of the Weifu Army Division in the Black Mountains, inspected their living environment, and gained some understanding of their military tasks.

Wulage told Jiang Liangping everything he knew, including the current agricultural production situation in the Hetao area, as well as the situation of civilians, military camps, border defense issues, etc., and told Jiang Liangping.

While listening, Jiang Liangping recorded carefully and recorded everything he thought was important.

Before leading troops to the Weifu Army Division in Heishan, the marching secretary Han Wei had a conversation with Jiang Liangping. During the conversation, he revealed Su Yonglin's idea of ​​establishing a new Hexi Corps.

"Hexi Corps? Is the Ming Dynasty going to add another corps?"

Jiang Liangping was surprised at the time.

Han Wei nodded.

"Hexi and Guanzhong are two different defense areas. Without Hexi, the Qilu Corps in Guanzhong can handle the overall situation. Even if they are attacked from both sides, they only need to defend Guanzhong. However, this will not be the case after the establishment of the Hexi Province in the future.

Your Majesty intends to transform the original territory of Xia into the Hexi province of the Ming Dynasty, erase all the existence of Xia, and restore our Han people's rule over the Hexi land.

Once the Hexi Province is established, it marks the official launch of the Ming Dynasty's westward and northward strategy. Toward the westward means attacking the Western Liao, capturing the Western Regions, and going northward means using Hetao as a springboard to launch a strike on the hinterland of the grassland and completely eliminate the main forces of the various tribes of the grassland.

In order to complete these two tasks, it is not possible to rely solely on the Qilu Corps. The main purpose of the Qilu Corps is to target the Southern Song Dynasty in the south. In the future, the war to destroy the Song Dynasty was launched. The Qilu Corps' mission was to directly attack Western Shu and conquer Western Shu.

Not only can it go down the river to threaten the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it can also further deter Dali and prepare for the destruction of the Dali Kingdom. Therefore, the mission of the Qilu Corps in the future is to go south, rather than to advance westward and northward. A corps specifically responsible for advancing westward and northward, the Hexi Corps must be added."

Jiang Liangping nodded, thinking that from a military perspective, this is correct.

The 100,000 troops of the Qilu Corps could not afford a fully blooming offensive task. Just attacking the Sichuan-Shu War Zone of the Southern Song Dynasty required a corps' full efforts.

Especially in this Sichuan-Shu War Zone, there is also a famous general Wu Lin. The army he commanded can be said to be the army that the Southern Song Dynasty was best at mountain combat. It has its own skills in both offense and defense, and its elite level is definitely not comparable to the army in the Jianghuai War Zone of the Southern Song Dynasty.

As he thought about it, Jiang Liangping suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why did you talk to me about this matter alone?

"Secretary Han, why do you talk to me about this matter alone?"

Han Wei smiled.

"I finally noticed it? Are there any other reasons to talk to you alone? Your Majesty believes that you are already qualified to be the only one in terms of your ability to command troops, your military literacy in military theory, or your accumulation of cultural knowledge."

Jiang Liangping could say without exaggeration that at that time, he felt as if he had been hit on his head by a hammer, buzzing and his head was blank.

Although he started as an officer since the time of the Shengjie Army, from the battalion commander in the Restoration Army, and from the regiment training commander all the way, and after entering the Ming army era, he was promoted to the first deputy commander of the Corps, he knew how much opportunity it would take to go from deputy commander to commander.

One more commander, one more corps.

The Ming army was established with 100,000 people, and the highest military system. Jiang Liangping, as a senior officer, knew very well how much money it would take to build a 100,000 army.

The construction of the Hexi Corps represents the increase in the number of regular troops of the Ming Dynasty from 500,000 to 600,000.

Although the establishment of this corps has not been officially announced, since Su Yonglin has decided, the establishment of this corps is a foregone conclusion.

A commander means a hundred thousand troops, a tens of millions of capital investment, a huge authority and heavy responsibility.

The future strategy of going north and westward to the north means restoring the Western Regions to the west and sweeping away the grasslands to the north.

More than one army will be dispatched to attack the grassland. At that time, the Hexi Corps, the Liaodong Corps and the Yanyun Corps will work together to give the grassland a fatal blow, completely eliminate their threats, and destroy their main force.
