The governor of Dian Province was very anxious.
A few days ago, Qin Jun rented a piece of barren land in the south of the city. He said that he wanted to raise pigs, cattle, and sheep there. He believed it and even felt that this mysterious rich young master was a little silly.
In the end, starting from two days ago, there were reports that Qin Jun had built an eight-meter-tall city wall on the barren land there, surrounding hundreds of acres of land. He had also gathered thousands of young and strong men to cut their braids and train them with firearms and cannons all day long. The crackling and rumbling sounds could be heard within dozens of miles.
What did he want to do?
Rebellion?
He did not dare to act rashly, so he could only look for General Ming Rui of the Green Camp to discuss how to solve this problem.
Ta, ta, ta.
Ming Rui, who was wearing a noble's long sleeve satin armor, strode in. He had a strong body and a round waist. His chubby face emitted a strong murderous aura. One look and one could tell that he was a murderer.
Indeed, Ming Rui, who was a Zhenglan Flag, had participated in the battle to pacify the big and small Jinchuan. Due to his outstanding achievements, he was promoted to be stationed in Dian Province. Under his command, there were 12000 pure Manchu Eight Banners Army and 40000 Green Army soldiers who were prepared to attack Vietnam and Myanmar. In total, more than 50000 troops were stationed in various parts of Dian Province.
"General Mingrui, you're finally here. Please sit!”
Liu Zao did not dare to be negligent. He stood up and bowed slightly. After Mingrui sat down, he quickly explained the situation and concluded…
"General, we can confirm that there are thousands of rebels gathered in the valley ten miles south of the city. I have already written this matter into a memorial and sent it to the capital.”
Thousands of rebels?
Ming Rui smiled disdainfully.
"There's no need to wait for the emperor's decree. It's just a few thousand rebels. Two Ma Biao cavalrymen just happened to come from the north as reinforcements, and with the coordination of the two from the Green Camp, with an army of 15000 infantry and cavalry, what rebels can't be eliminated?”
That was true.
Liu Zao's mood turned from cloudy to sunny after receiving the guarantee. In his knowledge, two Manchu cavalrymen could wipe out the thousands of rebels, not to mention the Green Camp elites of the two associations.
"Then, I wish you all the best in defeating the rebels. I've prepared a celebratory feast for you.”
"Lord Liu is too polite. You will see Qin Jun's head before dark.”
……
Early in the morning, Qin Jun, who had just woken up, washed up and sat in the square eating millet porridge and steamed buns with the soldiers. Seeing them wolfing down the food, he suddenly realized that the steamed buns were quite fragrant.
In the modern world, rice and noodles were really cheap. It only cost 35 million to buy a 20,000-ton freighter from America.
What was the concept of 20,000 tons?
40 million jin, if everyone ate one jin a day, it would be enough for a million soldiers to eat for a month, not to mention that there were only 5,000 people now.
Moreover, he planned to implement a policy of elite soldiers. In the future, the expansion of the army must be carefully selected. The number of troops should be maintained at a maximum of 200,000 to 300,000. If there were too many, it would be a waste of weapons, ammunition, food, and money.
Ta, ta, ta.
The sound of hurried hooves rang out as a horse galloped over. From the rider's expression, one could tell that something big had happened.
"Lord, the Qing army is here, the Qing army is here, the Qing army is finally here!”
"..."
The first part was normal, but what did the last part mean?
Do you really want the Qing army to come and fight?
The next second, the soldiers 'reactions gave him the answer.
"Hahaha, it's finally here. My hands are itching. Damn, it's so slow!”
"Hurry up and eat. Bring out all the cannons and cannonballs, and add more bullets to the flintlocks. This is the first battle of our Qin army, so we have to give our lord face.”
"Stop eating. Hurry up and prepare."
" Let's go, gather at the artillery camp!!!"
"1st Battalion, assemble!"
"Second Battalion, assemble. Take your weapons and go up the city wall.”
The atmosphere instantly became excited, expectant, nervous, and even a little bloodthirsty.
Qin Jun was stunned for a few seconds as he looked at the soldiers who had started to get busy without even eating. He could not wrap his head around it.
Shouldn't you all be cowering in fear during your first battle?
It's different from what's shown on TV. Why are you more excited than me?
Niu Dazhuang was very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing his puzzled look, he smiled and explained,"My lord, the southwest region has been called the southern barbarian land by the Central Plains since ancient times. The poor mountains and treacherous rivers produce unruly people, so the people here are very aggressive.”
"In the past, they didn't dare to fight because of the deterrence of the Qing army. Now, with the support of the lord's firearms and cannons, they probably don't care about anyone.”
Not bad, not bad.
Qin Jun was very gratified. His soldiers had to be aggressive.
All the invincible armies in history had a few things in common, which were self-confidence, fighting spirit, and not afraid of death. These 5,000 soldiers already had the appearance of an iron army.
"Go and make the arrangements. Command according to the training pattern. When the Qing army is five miles away, open fire to cut off their retreat and force them to charge forward. Then, use the musket to shoot and annihilate them.”
"Yes, sir!"
