Section 37 Conspiracy
Wu Feng, who was two hundred miles away, received a report from the intelligence officer, and was angry and anxious, he didn't expect that a calm person like Cui Wenxiu would make such an irrational decision and wantonly expand the abuse of bloody methods. Without having time to think about it, Wu Feng ordered Kuaima to give his own order immediately, and at the same time personally led the guards to Vito City, fortunately, after repeated searches by the reconnaissance troops in this area, it was confirmed that there were no enemy troops, and he was not worried about being attacked by enemy troops.
When Wu Feng led the guards to Vito City in a hurry, the suppression operation was over, and under the personal supervision of the gendarmerie led by Sha Lang, the deputy division commander, the soldiers of each wing of the Second Division quickly returned to their own units, and the order of Vito City became unusually quiet after the baptism of blood and fire. There were almost no people in sight in the streets, and all of them hid in their homes in terror, not even daring to open their windows, for fear of being visited by the tiger-like soldiers.
Of course, not all the residents of Vito City were frightened, at least the Tang people in the city were very excited, and they all cheered when they were bullied and oppressed by the Andeans, although they were also shocked by the bloody methods of the soldiers, but after all, the soldiers were not aimed at their own group, and once they entered the house and found that it was the Tang people, they politely withdrew, and some even greeted them in their own language, all of which made them find a sense of serf liberation.
When the forwardless horse team gradually approached the city gate, Cui Wenxiu, who was a little weak-hearted, quietly slipped to the end of the welcoming team. The welcoming procession composed of troops and some Tang gentry and merchants in Vito City was already waiting at the city gate, Sha Lang saw that his boss wanted to slip to the side, frowned, and hurriedly shouted: "Division commander, the adults are here, where are you going?"
Seeing that the gentry and businessmen were all looking at him as the protagonist, Cui Wenxiu showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Oh, oh, I know, I'm a little uncomfortable, Sha Lang, I think it's better for you to greet the adults for me." β
Sha Lang didn't know what his idea was, so he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Division Commander, I'm afraid this is not very good, anyway, the matter has already happened, and I can't hide it, it's not a big deal, I have told those gentry and businessmen, and I will ask them to help us say a few more kind words when the time comes." β
"Alas, it seems that our operation this time is not only fruitless, but also has to be punished heavily. Cui Wenxiu saw that Wufeng had dismounted, warmly hugged and shook hands with those Tang gentry and businessmen, and talked cordially, on the surface, he didn't seem to see the slightest abnormality, but he knew that his boss had always been invisible, and the more amiable he was, maybe it was the peace before the storm.
The two of them stepped forward to see each other, Wu Feng didn't say anything special, he was still kind and pleasant in front of many gentry and merchants, but at the moment he turned around, he dropped a sentence that immediately shattered the only remaining illusion of the two: "I'll settle accounts with you two after a while!"
At a reception banquet held in the mansion of a wealthy Tang businessman, the gentry sang praises for Cui Sha and the others, saying that the two of them had strict military discipline, and Qiu did not commit any crimes, and they couldn't help but glance at the two people sitting at the table with a smile and a smile: "Oh? If that's the case, it should be commended, it should be rewarded!"
The two people at the banquet were swept away by Wu Feng's gaze, and they both shrank their necks, and Cui Wenxiu's face was even more blue and white.
After the banquet, the main officers of the Second Division, including the wing commander of the Wing Wing, quietly gathered in the small meeting room and waited for Wu Feng's lecture.
"Wenxiu, you have done a good job, not only have you killed the majesty of our emperor [***], but also have strict military discipline and Mingqiu has not committed any crimes, it's not simple!" Wu Feng, who gently picked up the teacup, walked slowly in the hall.
"My lord, let's ''''''" Sha Lang didn't dare to open his mouth when he saw his division commander drooping his head, and he wanted to explain a few words.
"Needless to say, I know everything! How can I explain to you before leaving? Vito City is the only city in Northern Luzon at present, and it is also located in the key zone where we enter the Central Continent, so it is very important, and if we want to gain a foothold here, we must rely on the support of local forces. Let me ask you, how many Andeans are here? Seventy percent, Tang people only account for thirty percent, even if you add the Gaoyue people in the east, who are about to be included in our management, the proportion of Andean people will still be half!" Wu Feng's face became gloomy.
"My lord, my subordinates are willing to accept punishment, everything is Wenxiu's responsibility!" Cui Wenxiu also knew that his whim had brought a lot of resistance to Wufeng's plan.
Sha Lang also hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty: "Sha Lang also bears unshirkable responsibility for this matter, please punish your lord!"
Several other people also hurriedly got up to plead guilty, and Wu Feng waved his hand helplessly when he saw this: "Enough, enough! No need to act with me! The matter has come to this, and I don't want to say more." Cui Wenxiu, as the commander of the division, you instructed and indulged your subordinates, causing serious consequences, in order to rectify the public, I have decided to temporarily remove you from the post of commander of the Second Division, and Sha Lang, the deputy commander of the division, will act as the commander of the division!"
As soon as these words came out, except for Cui Wenxiu and Sha Lang, the others were stunned, and they all knelt down to intercede for their division commander.
On the contrary, Cui Wenxiu and Sha Lang glanced at each other, and bowed at the same time: "Obey!"
"Alright, you two let them go back first, and come to my study, and I have something to tell you. Wu Feng returned to his usual lazy appearance, and motioned for the two to arrange first.
After thousands of comforts and persuasions, Cui Wenxiu and Sha Lang finally let their subordinates barely understand that this was only temporary, and everyone also saw that their two bosses, especially the division commander Cui Wenxiu, were even more happy, and finally knew that things were not as bad as imagined, so they returned to their respective teams, and Cui Wenxiu and Sha Lang also came to a study specially prepared for Wu Feng in the division headquarters (formerly the Vito City Garrison Command Post) with a nervous mood.
"Wenxiu, you are really a little irrational this time, I can't believe that this is from your instructions, you should know the proportions. At this time, Wu Feng's tone had softened a lot, but the blame was still on the surface.
"My lord, this time it was Wenxiu's mistake and he was willing to be punished. Cui Wenxiu no longer concealed this situation, "But the situation at that time did make his subordinates angry, these hateful Luzon people are too barbaric, they are simply not as good as animals." β
"I understand your feelings, but as a high-ranking officer, you should think about what the consequences of your actions will be, otherwise you will never be mature. Even if you do, you should think about how to deal with these after-effects so as not to be caught by others. We did not have the authorization of the Empire to send troops this time, although I also wrote a recital to His Majesty the Emperor before sending troops, but in fact it was a prelude to the prelude. There is no doubt how many people will jump out to attack our operation, and if you send them some targets to attack, won't it make them even more rampant?"
Wu Feng's voice paused, "But fortunately, the sand waves in the back were dealt with in a timely manner, and did not cause too bad consequences, this Vito City will become our springboard in the Middle Continent, we must firmly grasp it, and we must not be negligent." β
"My lord, can the division commander be reinstated after he goes back?" Sha Lang couldn't help but ask about Cui Wenxiu's arrangement.
"You take on the heavy responsibility of the second division first, and Wen Xiu will make other arrangements when he goes back. Wu Feng gently blew the tea leaves floating on the water, and replied flatly.
"Oh, my lord, the division commander is probably about to be promoted, right?" Although Sha Lang was excited about Wu Feng's promotion of himself, he admired and respected his current boss a lot, and he didn't want to see Cui Wenxiu punished for this.
"Hey, I haven't heard that you have to rise up even if you make a mistake, how can there be this kind of logic?" Wu Feng laughed, and the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed, "The people of Yuli have settled in Qingyang, we have fulfilled our promise, and now it is time for them to show their sincerity." I would like to create a light cavalry division in the north-west in order to strengthen the mobile surname of our army. At present, our army is basically composed of cavalry infantry mixed divisions or infantry divisions, and this situation has become more and more unsuitable for the development of the situation in the future, especially after we have taken control of the Northern Luzon region, from the easternmost Bonan Province to the westernmost Green Sea Marsh, which is more than 1,000 kilometers apart, and even after the construction of highways in the future, according to the current situation of our army, it will take at least 10 days for a division to march from east to west or from west to east at a rapid pace, and if we form a light cavalry division, we can easily shorten the marching time by more than halfγ β
"Your Excellency, do you mean to let me form this light cavalry division?" Cui Wenxiu's eyes flashed with excitement, this was a difficult challenge.
"Well, that's exactly what I mean. I intend to ask the Jurlies to provide 12,000 men, and the remaining 10,000 men can be supplemented by various divisions and regiments and reservists, and strive to be formed early next year, and within half a year must form a considerable combat effectiveness. How's that, it's a bit stressful, isn't it?" Wu Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Cui Wenxiu.
"Don't worry, my lord, I promise to complete the task!"
"Don't boast about Haikou, it is still quite difficult to form this pure cavalry force, the Juris are not a living empire, the language barrier is a problem, and it may not be completely convincing to us for a while, you need to train well in training. Wu Feng was not so confident, "Don't draw a tiger and become an anti-dog." β
"Then how do you explain it to Xiao Tang and them?" Cui Wenxiu was obviously not worried about what Wu Feng said, as an officer, he had absolute confidence in himself, but he was still a little worried about the political axe.
"By the way, I haven't calculated this account for you yet, Tianfang was instigated by a few of you, and he took it upon himself to agree that Shanzhu had incorporated more than 20,000 Gaoyue militia for me, and I didn't know how to explain it to Xiao Tang. Thinking of this, Wu Feng felt a headache, and when he returned to Qingyang, he didn't know how many words it would take to convince Xiao Tang and them.
