Chapter 350: Changing Course
Henan Island, Henan Daying.
At dusk, after dinner, Yan Yangtian walked around the barracks twice, and then walked into a barracks at random, and suddenly saw him come in, several regimental Yong who were chatting hurriedly got up and stood upright, and the squad leader Xiao Yunkai saluted and was about to speak, Yan Yangtian had already reached out and pressed it, and said, "Sit down." After looking at the situation in the barracks for a while, he asked casually: "I heard that many regiments have bought treasury bonds, have you bought them?" β
"Report to the head of the group." Xiao Yunkai, the squad leader, hurriedly replied: "I bought it, our class bought a total of fifty yuan." β
"Oh? Bought so much? Yan Yangtian said that he pulled a stool and sat down, and said, "The allowance has been bought with national bonds, so you don't have to remit it to your family?" β
A group of people said loudly: "The big shopkeeper calls on all the employees of Yuanqi to actively buy treasury bonds, and our Yuanqi group training can't lag behind." β
"That's a good point." Yan Yangtian nodded with a smile and said, "What's your name?" Where are the people? β
"Report to the head of the group." Na Tuan Yong said excitedly: "The little Luo Biao is from Huizhou Mansion and Haifeng. β
"Rod Biao, good name." Yan Yangtian said with a smile: "The allowance bought a national debt, how can I explain it to my family?" β
"The little one has asked the squad leader to write a letter to his family on his behalf, explaining the purchase of treasury bonds." Rod Biao said and asked tentatively: "Commander, what to do with the bonds we bought?" Send it home? Keep it in your hand for fear of losing it. β
"Keep it for now, I'll ask the big shopkeeper about this." Yan Yangtian changed the topic as he spoke, "Recently, the amount of training has increased significantly, are there any problems?" β
"Report to the head of the regiment, there is no problem." Xiao Yun said cheerfully: "Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime, and no matter how hard the training is, we have no complaints." β
"Okay, it's good to understand this truth." Yan Yangtian nodded slightly: "It's a good thing that there are no complaints, but if you have complaints, you must report them in time." Saying that, he stood up, looked at Xiao Yunkai, and said, "You are the squad leader, you must grasp the situation of everyone in the class in detail, and you must keep abreast of their ideological dynamics and report them in time." β
"Mark it and understand." Xiao Yunkai hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Seeing Yan Yangtian leave, all the regiments in the barracks immediately became excited, as if they had won the lottery, Rod Biaolang smiled: "This time our class can be regarded as showing its face, the regiment commander has come to our class in person, two days ago, the battalion commander Tang went to the third class next door, look at their beauty." β
Squad leader Xiao Yunkai was secretly relieved, the regimental warriors did not know, but he knew as a squad leader, Yuanqi regimental training recently carried out a 'love soldiers like sons' activity, requiring military attachΓ©s at all levels of the squad platoon, company, battalion, and regiment to actively grasp and understand the basic situation and ideological dynamics of their subordinates, as a squad leader, he must know at any time what his regimental warriors are doing, thinking, lacking, and wanting, and must understand the basic situation and character of each soldier, etc.
He really didn't expect that even the head of the regiment, Yan Yangtian, would go down to the class level to understand the situation, it seems that this activity is not sloppy at all, and after a while, I am afraid that there will be an assessment, but don't throw the squad leader away for this matter.
For Yi Zhi's contentment to carry out the 'know the soldiers and love the soldiers' activity, Yan Yangtian, who is familiar with several military books, strongly agrees, the famous generals have always loved the soldiers like sons, and all the soldiers also advocate the love of soldiers like children, and the 'knowing soldiers and loving the soldiers' activity is to implement the love of soldiers like sons and concretize it.
When he came out of the barracks, he saw that the sky was not yet dark, and he was about to turn around again, when he raised his eyes, he saw a regiment running towards him quickly, and immediately stopped and waited. β
"I'll go right away." Yan Yangtian said and hurried to the brigade headquarters, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, he already knew the news that Yi Zhizu had taught Shanghai Dao, and he also guessed that Yi Zhishu would definitely take part of the group training when he went to Shanghai, the problem was that Yi Zhishu left Guangzhou, and for Yuanqi group training, it was like losing the backbone.
When he arrived at the brigade headquarters, he saw Chen Hongming, the commander of the Second Regiment, Xiao Mingming, the commander of the Third Regiment, and the three deputy regiment commanders were already waiting outside the door. β
In the room, Yi Zhixiang, who was looking at the Guangzhou suggestion map hanging on the wall, casually ordered, "Come in." The six people who were waiting came in to salute, and he replied, "Sit down." β
After a few people sat down, he slowly spoke: "The New Year is almost the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and the reinforcements of the British army are estimated to arrive in May, and the second and final stage of the war will break out soon, where will the main battlefield be in this stage?" Saying that, he glanced at a few people before he said in a deep voice: "I plan to set the main battlefield in Jiangning." β
Hearing this, Chen Hongming said eagerly: "Let's go to Jiangning?" β
A group of deputy Tang Zaosheng was puzzled and said: "Big boss, we have taken advantage of the location and people in Guangzhou, and the ammunition supply is also convenient, why don't we set the main battlefield in Guangzhou?" β
"There are many reasons for this." Yi Zhizhi lit a cigar as he spoke, and said slowly: "On the sea, we are far from being the opponent of the British fleet, and the warships of the sailors and our warships are not enough to even stuff the teeth of the British fleet, so if you want to win this battle, you must lure the British fleet into the river."
The existence of the Humen Fort was not conducive to luring the British fleet deep into the inland river, and the British army's interest in Guangzhou was not as great as that of Jiangning.
In addition, Lin Butang has been transferred to the governor of Liangjiang, and he will definitely fully cooperate in the fight against the British army, as for the geographical advantage, there are still a few months at the moment, and it is not enough for you to be familiar with the terrain of Jiangning? β
"Jiangning is too far away, and supply is a big problem." Yan Yangtian said: "After adding the artillery battalion, our ammunition consumption is not ordinarily large, from land transportation, the supply line is too long, and from the sea, it is extremely unsafe, if the ammunition supply cannot be guaranteed." β
Gently knocking down the soot, Yi Zhizhi said: "Five months, and you can't deliver enough ammunition to Jiangning?" There is nothing to worry about. β
Hearing him say this, everyone stopped talking, Yi Zhishu slowly glanced at a few people, and then said: "In the first battle of Dinghai, our Yuanqi regimental training has played a prestige and a reputation, and the British army must pay special attention to the Yuanqi regimental training, in order not to destroy the plan to lure the British army to attack Jiangning, we must rush to Jiangning, and we must not attract attention."
There are many eyes and ears of the British army in Guangzhou, and the troops must be divided into parts, disguised as business travelers, and the time is divided in batches. β
Hearing this, several people felt both fresh and exciting and a little worried, after all, it was too far to travel from Fujian and Zhejiang to Jiangning by land, and it was estimated that it would take more than half a month.
Seeing the expressions of several people, Yi Zhizhi said: "Discuss freely and express your own opinions." β
As soon as the words fell, the deputy of the three regiments, Yin Youcai, a native of Hunan, said: "The big shopkeeper, mark the lower Jue to go to Jiangning by land, the route is not right, go to Jiangning through Fujian and Zhejiang, it is better to go from Guangdong to Hunan, from Hengyang you can take a boat down the water, through Changsha, Yueyang, Jiujiang down the river to Jiangning, so that even if people are detected, we can't guess our destination, the speed is much faster, in addition, logistics supplies, can also be along this line." β
Hearing this, Yi Zhicontent's eyes couldn't help but light up, why didn't he think of using the waterway? The mode of thinking has not changed, from Guangdong to Hunan? After a slight groan, he asked, "How far is Guangzhou from Hengyang?" β
Yin Youcai said: "More than 1,100 miles, with our footsteps, we can reach it in ten days by marching in a hurry, and then go down the river, and it is estimated that we can reach Jiangning in half a month." β
That's really much faster, and it's easier to confuse the public, and the baggage doesn't have to take the risk of taking the sea route, you can take the waterway, from Sanshui to Shaoguan through Qingyuan, and after a while, Yi Zhizhi said: "This proposal is good, the first regiment rushed to Jiangning from Fujian and Zhejiang, and the second and third regiments rushed to Jiangning by water from Guangdong to Hunan." β
Hearing this, several people were confused, why did they go to Fujian and Zhejiang? Yan Yangtian couldn't help but say, "The big shopkeeper? β
After glancing at everyone, Yi Zhizhi said: "This is a rare opportunity, don't just worry about burying your head in the road along the way, and write down the mountains, rivers, passes, and cities along the way." β
Yan Yangtian reacted the fastest, and hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, the standard is inferior and obeys." β
After repeated discussions with everyone, it was not until eleven o'clock that Yi Zhizhi left the camp, and he did not return to Xiguan, but went directly to the Rongqing Garden in Huadi.
Su Mengdie was naturally overjoyed by the arrival of Yi Zhifen, and welcomed him into the main room in the backyard, and asked with a smile: "Where did you come from in the middle of the night?" Hungry, right? The slave family has ordered his subordinates to make supper. β
"From the Wu family's garden." Yi Zhizhi said and pulled her into his arms, hugged her lightly: "There are many people and events during the New Year, and I will go to Shanghai after the New Year, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to come again." β
"It's hard for Saburo to be so worried about the slave family." Su Mengdie said and pecked him lightly on the face, and said, "When will you come back when you go to Shanghai?" β
"Come today for this thing." Yi Zhizu said softly: "Can you let go of the things in Guangzhou with me to Shanghai?" It's a new world, no one knows you, and you're completely free. β
"Freedom." Su Mengdie muttered: "Knowing that San Lang actually taught Shanghai Dao, the slave family has carefully considered this issue, but the slave family promised Huang Er a three-year period, but it is not easy to say and have no faith. β
"More than two years, in a flash, I'm waiting for you in Shanghai." Yi Zhixiang said that a swimming fish slipped into his clothes, Su Mengdiejiao jumped up with a smile, and said, "Not today, or let Daiqing's girl wait for you, that girl will be your person sooner or later anyway." β
Dai Qing is Su Mengdie's personal maid, if Su Mengdie passes through the door, Dai Qing can indeed be said to be his person, however, Yi Zhizhi is a little worried that Su Mengdie arranged for Dai Qing to go to Shanghai with him, the two women in his house were sent by Su Mengdie, but he didn't want to ask for another one, when he smiled: "Dai Qing's girl is liked, someone has taken a fancy to it, and I will point her to someone to be the main room in the future." β
"Referring to an ordinary little guy, how can it be compared to following San Lang?" Su Mengdie said: "That girl's mind can be on San Lang." β
"It's not an ordinary little guy, it's a military attache trained by Yuanqi's regiment, and he has been awarded the title of six grades." Yi Zhi said with a smile: "The dignified lady of the main room is not better than following me." β
"That girl has such a blessing." Su Mengdie became interested and said, "Who is it?" I'll have a chance to bring it over and have a look. β
Yi Zhicontent glanced at her and said, "You also brought it over to take a look, for fear that others won't know about my relationship with you?" As he spoke, he beckoned, "Come, I'll talk with you tonight." β
Su Mengdie walked over slowly, sat on his lap, and said, "Let's not talk about this, we have to ask the girl what she means, she has been with my slave family since she was a child, and the slave family doesn't want her to end up like the slave family." β
"What do you think?" Yi Zhizhi said: "After the battle is over, it's not too late to talk about marriage." β
Hearing him say this, Su Mengdie didn't want to say it anymore, and it would be too traceful to say it, so she immediately changed her head and said, "Bai Xue and the two of them, is there any movement?" β
What's moving? Yi Zhishu only reacted after a slight change of thought, he asked if he was pregnant, and immediately shook his head, he was also very depressed when he said this, there were four women in his house, counting Su Mengdie, who was five, and he was diligent in his daily work, so why didn't he get anything? Is the foundation too bad? Or is it just because of his problem? This is not a trivial matter, if he wants to have no queen, it is not conducive to cohesion.
Seeing that he suddenly remained silent, Su Mengdie slowly snuggled up to his chest and said softly: "It's all a slave family, otherwise, the children should be three years old, San Lang should also pay attention to his body, don't be too distracted." β
Hearing her mention this stubble, Yi Zhizu patted her on the back and said, "The past two years have really been too draining, and after finishing this business, you should be relaxed and relaxed." β
Lin Zexu was transferred to Liangjiang, and Qi Shan took over as the governor of Liangguang almost a day to spread all over the city of Guangzhou, early in the morning, the teahouse was talking about this matter, some were happy, and naturally there were worried, Lin Zexu strictly banned smoking in Guangzhou, but he did not offend people, and when he was transferred out of Guangzhou, naturally some people were happy to applaud.
However, Lin Zexu rectified the naval division during his tenure as governor of Liangguang, encouraged the local gentry to form regimental training, mobilized the people to fortify the wall and clear the wilderness to actively resist the British, and organized the naval division to fight with the British army for more than ten rounds, and achieved a series of victories, especially the two great victories of Modaoyang and Dinghai.
Now that the British fleet is still in the ocean outside Guangzhou, the war has not stopped, whether there will be a recurrence, it is still difficult to say, at this time the change of governor, quite a change of generals, quite a change of generals, many people are worried about whether Qishan, the new governor, can be as tough as Lin Zexu, to keep Guangzhou safe and peaceful. In particular, Qi Shan, as the minister of the Qin Mission, went to Guangzhou, mainly to negotiate with Yingyi, and he took over as the governor of Liangguang and presided over the military affairs of Guangzhou, which really worried many gentry and merchants.
Yi Zhizu rushed back to Xiguan, and the general number of Yuanqi who entered, saw Kong Jian'an and Xie Xiuyuan guarding the gate of Rongyuan from afar, walked to him, and waited for the two to salute, he smiled and said: "Come over early in the morning to be the door god, what's the urgency?"
