Ganning Governor's Mansion, when he saw the first half of the reply from the General Staff, Zhou Shuyuan was still very happy.

Because, the General Staff Department had already agreed to his request, and a regiment of firearms and equipment and a large amount of ammunition could enter the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo in a few days at most and fall into their own hands......

Although I don't know why the General Staff promised to be so cheerful and directly give themselves a regiment of firearms equipment when they were already beginning to doubt themselves...... Is there a conspiracy against yourself hidden in this......

However, Zhou Shuyuan can't manage so much.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his heart, to use the shortest time to expand the military strength in his hand as much as possible......

And the equipment of a regiment that is about to arrive in front of him directly means that he can immediately expand the troops of a regiment......

However, this excitement did not last long on Zhou Shuyuan's face, and was covered by the solemnity that followed.

Because, at this time, Zhou Shuyuan had already finished reading the second half of the reply.

It turned out that the staff did not give up their doubts about themselves from beginning to end......

While replenishing their own equipment and ammunition, they directly transferred the strength of two divisions to garrison the border between Gansu and Ningbo provinces......

As long as they have the slightest change in the two provinces, these two divisions will directly enter the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo with lightning speed.

Just when Zhou Shuyuan's face was full of solemnity, thinking about his current situation...... Several subordinates standing in front of them led to the reply after reading the letter......

One of the division commanders, first of all, couldn't hold back the panic in his heart, and asked Zhou Shuyuan with an anxious face......

"Governor. The strength of two divisions was stationed on the border between Gansu and Ningbo...... It's obvious. The General Staff wanted to take this opportunity to invade the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo. Solve us in one go! What should we do next, or just go to the imperial court......"

"Shut up...... What are you panicking, you don't know that now that the various units of the Tiger and Leopard Army are expanding their troops, it is difficult to draw out special troops to deal with us...... Otherwise, it would not take half a month to transfer the strength of two divisions......"

"So, Tong guò this reply. I am sure that the strength of the two divisions is already the limit that the General Staff can now draw......"

"Look at us again, not counting the new division that the secret camp is training, we have a full three divisions...... Even if the General Staff really ordered the two divisions stationed on the border to attack, the strength of our three divisions could easily block them or even eliminate them...... Do you think that after we have eliminated these two divisions drawn by the General Staff, the General Staff will still have extra troops to continue to encircle and suppress us. Attack us? "The answer is no, the General Staff does not. At least for half a year, the General Staff will not have the energy and strength to continue to encircle and suppress us......" "Therefore, as long as we can block the possible attacks of these two divisions, or even eliminate them, we will have at least half a year to develop and grow...... In half a year, a lot may happen, maybe with this half a year, we will have the ability to protect ourselves, and the powerful Tiger and Leopard Army will also fall into a decisive battle and fight with the new army of the imperial court......"

Zhou Shuyuan's answer made the nervousness and panic on the faces of several subordinates suddenly calm down a lot......

didn't let everyone wait too long, and Zhou Shuyuan's voice reached their ears again......

"Three divisions fight two divisions, and in the case of the same equipment, whoever is more prepared and occupies better geographical conditions, who will suffer fewer casualties...... Therefore, in order to deal with the possible sudden attack of these two divisions, and at the same time, in order not to give the General Staff the opportunity to send troops to the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo, and to buy ourselves more time to prepare, there is one thing that we must do immediately......"

As Zhou Shuyuan's confidant and the deputy of the military advisor, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously replied: "Governor, you mean that we are working with the imperial court to stage this big drama for the prince......

Zhou Shuyuan nodded and affirmed: "The reply letter from the General Staff Department is clearly written, within half a month, if we can't solve the new army of the imperial court that has entered the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, the two divisions stationed on the border will be killed......"

"Therefore, we must not give the two divisions any chance to enter the two provinces of Gansu and Ning......"

Just when Zhou Shuyuan was in full swing making various preparations, he didn't know that at this moment, he was stepping into the shocking net that Zhou Shuyuan had arranged for him......

And at this moment, thousands of miles away in Yangzhou, a shocking shout of killing, and the sound of ordinary firecrackers-like musket shooting, constantly sounded on the main peak of Cangyunling.

Half a month, for these bandits who have just joined the squad behind enemy lines, it can definitely be called unprecedented hardship.

If it weren't for the fact that they would have been able to eat white rice and large pieces of oily fat every day in the past half a month. These bandits are likely to leave the squad because they have worked too hard......

However, they persevered.

Not only that, after half a month of high-intensity training, their whole body has been turned upside down unconsciously.

The body has changed from a thin face with yellow muscles caused by lack of nutrition half a month ago to a rosy face now.

The high-intensity training not only did not make them lose weight, but because of the meat diet, they gained a lot of weight.

Of course, for Hu Hai, the leader of the squad, this is not the biggest change.

In Hu Hai's view, the biggest and most noticeable change in them is not physical, but spiritual......

Standing on the training ground, the momentum exuded from them was not confused and helpless, but full of energy and hope for the future.

Not only that, but dozens of former bandits have been able to enforce orders and prohibitions, and are skilled in using grenades, a powerful firearm.

As for the muskets, except for a few recruits with shooting talents, who were picked out by Hu Hai to equip them with muskets and form musketeers. The rest of the recruits, all of whom became bombardiers without much skill.

After all, Hu Hai was able to use very limited muskets. forced him to have to equip the best recruits with muskets......

Just when Hu Hai was standing on the training ground, watching his subordinates train recruits in full swing.

Among the recruits, an old man who was assigned to work as a logistics man by himself because he was too old to join the combat unit, suddenly came over and reported in a low voice: "Captain, because the training intensity is too great, the daily food of the brothers has greatly increased, and they could have eaten food for ten days, but now they can only eat for three days......

"Captain, you must get back a batch of grain and pork in three days, otherwise, the brothers will go hungry......"

In the face of this sudden situation, although Hu Hai's brows were furrowed, it didn't last long, and he regained his calm.

After glancing at the subordinates who were training in full swing on the training ground, Hu Hai couldn't help but say to himself: "Brothers have been practicing for so long, whether it's a mule or a horse, it's time to pull it out for a walk and test our training results...... Just take advantage of this opportunity to play the name of our Cangyunling, grab grain and expand the army ......" (to be continued......
