As soon as the military order was issued, the generals were in an uproar.
According to the combat deployment formulated by the Supreme Emperor, Qi Jin, Zhao Lijiao, Pu Gang, Jin Yinghe and the 3rd, 8th, 5th, and 9th Corps commanded by them will not rush to the front in this Korean War. Instead, they will stay on Ping'an Road as a reserve force, which is called guarding against the enemy.
It should be noted that the 3rd, 8th, and 5th Corps are all elites of the Qi Army.
The Eighth Corps was formerly known as the Linqing Qi Army. In the first year of Wuding, Pu Gang led them to fight their way through the siege on all sides, captured most of Shandong, and pulled Da Qi back to the cliff.
The predecessor of the Fifth Corps, the 5000 Headquarters, made great achievements in the war. They went on an expedition to the Japanese country, and finally followed Yuan Chonghuan and Zhao to lead the army and stationed themselves in Kyushu, the Japanese country. With all the foreign aid, this group of veterans persisted in the Japanese country for half a year, and finally achieved safety at a very small cost. Return to the country;
As for the Third Corps under Qi Jin, it can be said to be the cornerstone of the Qi Army. Many of them are veterans from the bloody battle of Hunhe River. Except for the defeat of the capital in the first year of Wuding, this army has never suffered a defeat. Half a year ago , in order to clean up the mess of the Fifth Corps, the 8,000-strong Third Corps used partial divisions to fight against the entire North Korean army. They fought hard with more than 100,000 North Korean troops on the opposite side and fought step by step. They just took half of Ping An from Li Zhu's mouth step by step. road.
The Ninth Corps Foreign Army led by Jin Yinghe is the only army among Da Qi's armies that is purely composed of foreign troops. Although the number is not large (more than 7,000), it comes from Mongolia, Haixi, and Jianzhou. , Korea, Japan, and even the East India Company, except for a few who were captured by the Qi army on various battlefields, most of the soldiers in the Ninth Corps basically applied to join Da Qi on their own initiative (mainly from mines in various places , prison), these people can be called the fifth column of the seventeenth century.
Under the repeated preaching and re-education of Senti and his instructors, the vast majority of the foreign soldiers have fully accepted their identity as Qi soldiers - of course, the foreigners who did not accept have been physically eliminated or re-entered into the mines. Mining coal in the field.
······
Despite this, Liu Zhaosun decided not to use them.
The Supreme Emperor stopped explaining too much and looked at everyone with a stern expression, his eyes lingering on Qi Jin and others for a moment.
"The Pyongyang war is just the beginning. Next, there will be bigger battles to be fought. I need to leave a reserve team."
Having said that, anyone with a discerning eye can see that such an arrangement by the Supreme Emperor is actually a rebalancing of the forces of the various corps.
Of course, there is also punishment for Qi Jin.
After the military order was issued, all the generals agreed and happily accepted the combat mission of their own troops. Deng Changxiong and Wang Zengbin looked at the four of them, while Qi Jin stood there and remained silent.
The scene suddenly became awkward.
Dongfang Zhu quickly winked at Zhao Lejiao, who immediately expressed his acceptance of Emperor Wuding's order.
Pu Gang was silent for a moment, then clasped his hands and said to the Emperor:
"I will obey your orders!"
When he was in Shandong, Pu Gang had spent some time with Xi Jinping and knew Emperor Wuding quite well. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with making such an arrangement.
The Ninth Corps is the only fully-organized foreign army among the armies, which inevitably makes people suspicious, although the training officers have thoroughly brainwashed these foreign soldiers.
The battle of Pyongyang was the first step for Emperor Wu Ding to lead Da Qi to expand outward. It was of great significance and did not allow for any mistakes. Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, it was impossible to let the foreign troops be the first to attack.
As for the Fifth Corps, they had just withdrawn from Sakhalin. Although they had defeated the Cossacks with all their strength, they had suffered heavy casualties and were in urgent need of rest and recuperation. Although they had the intention, they were unable to continue fighting;
The Eighth Corps led by Zhao had suffered a defeat in Pyongyang not long ago and was not suitable for offensive duties;
As for Qi Jinbu, the Emperor's intention is very obvious. Since you like farming, then stay and farm well.
"General Qi, do you have anything else to say?"
From beginning to end, Qi Jin remained silent, and everyone looked at him.
Qi Jin ignored the gazes of everyone, took two steps forward, and gave a military salute to Emperor Wu Ding, who was a head taller than him.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say, I am just following the military orders!"
The surroundings were suddenly shocked. Several accompanying civil servants pointed at Qi Jin and whispered. Dongfang Zhu winked at Qi Jin desperately, although the latter ignored Eunuch Dongfang at all. Wang Zengbin subconsciously took a step back, as if he wanted to get away from this unruly man. The warriors were farther away, and Lian Pei Dahu's eyes suddenly turned murderous when he looked at Qi Jin. Zhao Shujiao looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to do.
Deng Changxiong was about to have a fit and hit this brother who was walking along the way. At this time, Emperor Wu Ding's cold voice came from the tent:
"Just obey the military orders. I will put the ugly words up front."
Liu Zhaosun looked around and looked at the group of veterans in front of him with a complicated expression.
"The reason why the soldiers of Da Qi are so indomitable and invincible is not only that our soldiers are well-prepared and have sharp firearms, but more importantly, we follow orders and prohibitions and hit wherever we are told!"
"Only by clenching ten fingers together can we turn into two fists, and then we can kill someone! If any one of them refuses to be controlled, we will not be able to fight far and we will not win!"
At some point, the big tent became silent. Xie Yang, Hou Xun, Lu Zhenfei, Francisco and others who had been talking in low voices just now all shut their mouths.
Like the brief calm before the storm, everyone was waiting for the ten-foot-tall demigod with bulging muscles and murderous intent, waiting for his fury to come.
Dongfang Zhu had just picked up a cup of Bungara snake soup and prepared to feed the Supreme Emperor. He was so frightened that he stopped quickly and stood there without daring to move.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, after Emperor Wu Ding said this, he strode towards the door of the tent and stopped in front of the clothes rack with armor hanging at the door. The high priest and Dongfang Zhu looked at each other and hurriedly came forward to help the Supreme Emperor put on the armor.
Liu Zhaosun put on his helmet, pressed down the brim of his hat as a habit, stretched his neck to stretch his muscles, and looked back at the civilian and military generals who were still looking confused:
"I, in the past two years, have been busy purging those civil servants. Even Supervisor Kang and Supervisor Qiao were personally thrown into prison by me. More than a thousand of those tigers and flies below were caught and killed!"
"Whether it was Da Qi or Nan Ming, the dead civil servants said that I was cruel and cruel, even more cruel than the Gao family in Northern Qi. The name Da Qi was worthy of the name. But I have always been kind to you generals and could not bear to kill. Could it be that Are you more loyal than civil servants?"
The faces of the generals turned pale. No one would have thought that the Supreme Emperor would say these words before the battle.
Regardless of whether the Supreme Emperor was really suspicious of military commanders, this was a taboo among military strategists.
Deng Changxiong, who was standing nearby, glared at Qi Jin and signaled Qi Shaobao's adopted son to quickly confess to the Supreme Emperor.
"That's because," Liu Zhaosun looked coldly at Qi Jin, "you have all shed your blood for me and made contributions to Daqi. Although I am mean, I am not stupid. I can still remember this kindness. "
"I, after Wang Gongchang, I am no longer the same Liu Zhaosun as before. From now on, if anyone dares to disobey the emperor's orders, disobey orders, and dare to act without permission, I am not afraid of a general purge of the generals. !”
