Piao Tianwen     Chapter 208: Advance North (please ask for another monthly ticket)

Ask Zhang Yumao if he is undecided in internal affairs, and Shi Tinglan if he is undecided in external affairs. This system only lasted for two days in Linhai City, and Liu Chang had already rushed back from Panshi Village.

During this period, both Zhang Yumao, who was in charge of civil affairs, and Shi Tinglan, who was in charge of Linhai military affairs, only served as the role of protecting seals and did not make any major decisions. Liu Chang also ratified the Linhai operation mechanism during this period.

He immediately took over the supreme power of the entire Hongjun, and set up the supreme power organ of the entire Hongjun in Linhai Prefecture City, and prepared to launch further military operations.

But before that, the entire Hong Army had a rest and recuperation. The infantry battalions not only had to supplement the soldiers lost in the Linhuang Campaign, but also the old infantry battalions like the Dragon Gun Battalion were expanded to the establishment of four infantry companies just like the teaching battalion.

However, this time, Demons brought too few guns, and many newly expanded non-main infantry companies could only re-equip bird guns. Only the first-class main battalions such as the Dragon Gun Battalion and Nanxi Battalion have always achieved complete foreign gunization.

As for the addition of the French 12-pound mountain grenade company and the British nine-pound field gun, the firepower of the entire Hongjun army has revolutionized. Although these two types of artillery are European light guns and lack of range and power, they will soon become super cannons mentioned by Taizhou regiments and a few remaining Qing troops. They are said to be a one-shot and will be decayed.

While educating new recruits and carrying out low-intensity security operations, Liu Chang was preparing to spend a month to get all the infantry battalions to the best state of full capacity, while waiting for the next wave of arms from Ruthya or Demons.

After this batch of arms arrived, the entire army continued to attack northward and prepared to implement the Ningbo battle that he had planned for a long time.

As long as you take Ningbo and obtain this trading port, the import of Western arms will continue to flow.

Unfortunately, as soon as he announced this order, Qu Jie and Zhu Dun, the two generals of the Dragon Spear Camp, came to ask for a meeting. Liu Chang met them at the former Taizhou Prefectural Office: "You are here, this time you attack Linhai Camp, you have done a good job, I know."

Qu Jie is an honest man and only knows how to laugh, but Zhu Dun talked about the details of this attack on Linhai: "The order was issued by Miss Shi Tinglan to us. We did not implement it without a personal order. However, considering that the fighter plane was rare, the officers decided to actively capture the fighter plane and resolutely implement the Linhai Campaign, but it was limited to capturing Linhai City."

After they captured Linhai City, they immediately waited for the arrival of Panshi Camp and Shi Tinglan. After the main force of Panshi Camp entered Linhai, the Dragon Gun Camp immediately took the initiative to withdraw from Linhai City and waited for further orders outside the city. Liu Chang already knew the causes and consequences of all this clearly.

Therefore, he patted Qu Jie on the shoulder and affirmed their decision: "You are right, it's rare to have a fighter jet. You must capture it in time and not miss it. Although there is no order from me, you are very good at giving full play to your subjective initiative!"

Qu Jie and Zhu Dun didn't know what the so-called "subjective initiative" was, but when they heard Liu Chang say this, they were relieved. Liu Chang continued: "As for the orders from Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei, it is correct for you to not implement them. The ancients knew that the harem could not interfere in politics, let alone our Hongjun!"

"I'll repeat it here. You have no mistakes in this issue!" Liu Chang told Qu Jie and Zhu Dun: "If there is any mistake, the root of the problem lies in me!"

He added again: "If similar orders appear in the future, we will follow the method this time! I can trust the Dragon Gun Camp!"

There was only one sentence, but Qu Jie asked again: "This time Xiao Fu was a bit too much, but he was kind-hearted and hoped to deal with him appropriately."

Although he and Fu Wendao were very different from Shi Tinglan's orders, both of them came out of the small group of Dragon Spear Camp. He did not want Fu Wendao to be defamed by Liu Chang's orders and could not turn over.

Liu Chang immediately replied to them: "For Fu Wendao, I have now got a suitable position for him!"

It was enough to say this, but as soon as Qu Jie and Zhu Dun left, Shi Tinglan came over to apologize: "Precaution, you are not in Huangyan this time. The incident happened suddenly. My eldest sister and I had no choice but to discuss with County Feng, Magistrate Gao's Mansion and others, and decided to go to Huangyan. If there is any mistake, it will be wrong to me!"

Liu Chang smiled, "What's wrong? If there is any mistake, then you only have one mistake!"

"What's wrong?" Shi Tinglan was a little over-nevered: "You say, let us know what's wrong!"

"If you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Lord Zhang, and if you don't decide on external affairs, ask Empress Shi."

As soon as this sentence was said, Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei became particularly nervous, waiting for Liu Chang's thunder and rainstorm. Unexpectedly, Liu Chang was full of spring breeze: "This is wrong. What is Zhang Yumao capable of? It's just a mere demotion official. Why do you need to ask him if you don't decide the matter!"

He continued: "If you are not determined in foreign affairs, you should ask my Tinglan, and if you are not determined in internal affairs, you should ask my Tinglan!"

When Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei said this, they both breathed a sigh of relief, but Shi Tinglan's face was already a little shy. She said it was Empress Shi in front and "My Tinglan" in the back. She couldn't help but secretly staring at Liu Chang.

But Liu Chang continued, "Even if my good Tinglan can't make a decision, I have to ask my good-looking girl when it will be his turn!"

He said resentfully: "If it weren't for his bad things about Zhang Yuzhuo, my Hong Army would have already attacked Linhai!"

Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei both brought stools and sat with Liu Chang. The fragrance breeze was blowing, and she exhaled like orchids, which made Liu Chang feel relaxed and happy.

Shi Tinglan defended Zhang Yumao and said, "No matter what, this is the first prefect to surrender to us. You have to reuse it!"

Liu Chang had a long thought: "I have asked Zhang Yuzhuo, this person, who is still useful, but he is both good at taking power and greedy for money. He surrendered to our Hongjun as the prefect of Taizhou, but I don't have a good place to place him for the time being."

Shi Tinglan responded. She knew that Liu Chang was like a mountain and that what she said was the truth. However, Yang Changmei asked: "Can you let Ning Shaotai do it?"

The Taizhou prefect has already given Gao Gangcai, of course it is impossible to return it to Zhang Yumao. Moreover, this time Liu Chang brought Gao Gangcai who was left in Huangyan to Linhai, and that was determined to let Gao Gangcai take over as the prefect of Taizhou. In this case, either learn from the Qing Dynasty to set up Ningshaotai Road, or directly give it to a governor of Zhejiang.

"Okay!" Liu Chang replied to Yang Changmei: "Now we have the territory of three counties, which means we have the territory of all Taizhou, that is, six counties. It is not enough to set up a prefect of Taizhou, and we will also set up a governor of Zhejiang."

This is a big taboo in administration. The more administrative levels, the lower the administrative efficiency. In fact, although Liu Chang asked Gao Liangcai to be the prefect of Taizhou, the magistrate of each county should directly skip Gao Liangcai and contact Liu Chang directly. Gao Liangcai, the prefect, was just a false statement in a short period of time.

It would be even more inappropriate to set up another useless institution on the Taizhou Prefecture, so Yang Changmei also understood: "Then the inspection has been made and how to resettle the Prefect Zhang?"

"Think about it!" Liu Chang was not afraid of it, but quickly changed the topic: "We will not go anywhere in the next month, replenish the team, control the place well, and do not make big moves. At most, take two or three county towns, and then wait for a round of arms to launch the Ningbo Battle."

Now for the Hong Army, it is the best time to develop. Qu Zhenhan on the southern front restrained the Qing army in Fujian, Ni Tingmo on the western front restrained Chuzhou Town, and Taiping Army in western Zhejiang entered Zhejiang. In this case, he could calm down and master the place well and train the Hong Army at the same time.

He continued: "It's a rare opportunity. We have at least one month. Next, the counties in Taizhou will wait for the water to come true, and the melon will fall!"

With the three counties of Linhai, Huangyan and Taiping, Liu Chang had the capital to say such things. He could completely steadily and gradually control the entire Taizhou Prefecture as a base, and then further develop: "As soon as the Ningbo Battle was launched, I would guard Taizhou with Nanxi regiment, and the Dragon Spear regiments entered Ningbo Prefecture. The six battalions of the Green Camp in Ningbo Prefecture were not available, and the number of troops was only more than a thousand. The ones that Duan Guangqing based were just Buxing's bravery, who was good at water battles and weaker in land battles. At that time, he took Ningbo Prefecture..."

When Liu Chang thought of the wealth of Ningbo Prefecture, he couldn't help but be excited: "At that time, the Dragon Spear Regiment can be expanded into a brigade of war soldiers with Ningbo Prefecture's wealth, and there will be a port, and arms will come in endlessly. At that time, eastern Zhejiang will be the world of our Hongjun."

This is a very complete battle concept. Liu Chang felt that he was very sure. Now that the Qing army in Zhejiang was facing many enemies, he was unable to take care of Ning Shao. After sending troops to Ning Shao and conquering the entire Ning Shaotai Road, he could completely expand the Dragon Spear Regiment and the Nanxi Regiment into two brigades, or even the third brigade.

In this time and space, as long as there are three infantry brigades equipped with Western rifles, it is enough to walk across the southeast. Liu Chang was in a happy mood: "The Qing army can support the troops in Zhejiang, which is probably the soldiers of the Jiangnan camp. When the Jiangnan camp sends troops to support Zhejiang, the pressure on Tianjing will naturally be relaxed."

Liu Chang felt that he was quite sure of dealing with the Qing army in the Jiangnan camp. At least the Dragon Gun Brigade would not be weaker than the Jiangnan camp that was defeated twice by the Taiping Army, and at least he could fight to the same level.

What he said was exactly what Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei wanted to hear. As long as Liu Chang went to Ningshao, the Jiangnan camp would definitely send troops to help Zhejiang. In that case, it would naturally greatly reduce the pressure on the Tianjing battlefield and free up the Taiping Army to deal with the newly rising Hunan Army.

But Shi Tinglan felt that Liu Chang's plan felt a big flaw, and she hesitated for a moment.

Liu Chang continued: "At that time, Tianjing can be relieved, and Empress Shi and Empress Yang can also be true. There will be no embarrassment this time, but then I will call you "Madam."

Shi Tinglan's pink face was flushed and shy, but she made up her mind: "Brother Chang, you should not attack Ningbo in the future. It is the best way to seize Ningbo in the north."
