"I can stay to help you attack Denglai, and the partial division sent to Zaozhuang can be led by Sun Chuang." Qin Rong mentioned the deputy division chief of the First War Division. dolphin
Chen Xunping said: "He can indeed do it, but you are more suitable than him for this opportunity."
Qin Rong looked puzzled when he heard this.
Just listen to Chen Xunping continue to say: "The Lord has agreed to the expansion of our first combat division. There will definitely be more than one combat division on the ground in Shandong and Henan. If you have the experience of leading troops to fight alone this time, if you directly expand the combat division , you have the opportunity to compete for the position of the newly established Zhanbing Division Chief, and Sun Chuang’s qualifications are somewhat inferior.”
Qin Rong suddenly realized.
During this period of time, I actually studied the affairs of the Kong family in Qufu, and almost forgot about the expansion of the army. In addition, the army has been fighting, and the main energy is spent on marching operations, while the expansion of the army has always been piecemeal. The scattered supplements have never formed a large scale, so he did not think about it for a while.
"This military expansion is a good opportunity for you, don't miss it." Chen Xunping raised his hand and patted Qin Rong's upper arm.
The two have been partners for so long, and he certainly hopes that Qin Rong can become the military commander of a combat division. dolphin
However, it is not up to him, the first combat division, to decide who can become the new combat division. The military commander will make the overall decision, and there is more than one combat division in Tiger Flag, and each combat division has The chief of staff and deputy division commander are both qualified to compete for the position of division commander. Some teachers in the martial arts hall are also qualified. Some outstanding battalion commanders with many meritorious services are also qualified to compete.
Although the position of chief of staff is a senior general in the army, he has few opportunities to lead troops alone, so this time Chen Xunping wanted to supplement this shortcoming for Qin Rong.
After Qin Rong hesitated for a moment, he said: "Okay, I will lead this partial division to Zaozhuang."
He didn't want to miss the opportunity to become the commander of a combat division.
Chen Xunping had a smile on his face after hearing this.
He was afraid that Qin Rong was unwilling to fight, otherwise he would miss this opportunity and he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to become a military commander.
The matter of the partial division does not mean that it will be set off as soon as it is decided. It also requires various preparations, and at the same time, a group of military staff will formulate the plan. dolphin
After all, there is only one combat barracks that wants to defend multiple places on the Zaozhuang front line. Naturally, the military strength is stretched thin, and a reasonable defense plan needs to be formulated.
Duke Yansheng on the other side walked out of the village where the tiger-character flag soldiers and horses were stationed, still riding in his sedan chair.
When he came, there were only bearers and boys around him, but when he left, there was a team of thousands of people accompanying him.
Duke Yan Sheng and his sedan walked in front, and Yu Huai led the team behind and on both sides.
If he hadn't known what was going on, he might have really thought that these troops were escorting Duke Yan Shenggong back to the city.
Those Kong clan members who left the city with Yan Shenggong still stayed where they were and did not leave.
It wasn't that they cared much about Yan Shenggong, what they were concerned about was what would happen to the fields they rented after the Tiger Flag came, whether the rent would increase or other closely related matters. dolphin
As for Yan Shenggong.
To ordinary Kong clan members, it is more like a symbol and does not bring much benefit to ordinary Kong clan members.
As Duke Yan Sheng's sedan arrived with a group of soldiers and horses, the Kong clan members became panicked, and many timid people took the opportunity to escape.
But more people from the Kong clan stayed, including several family members who were sent by the Kong clan to inquire about the news.
The sedan came to a stop in front of these Kong clan members.
Yanshenggong in the sedan opened one side of the sedan curtain and said to the tribesmen outside: "Don't wait here anymore, everyone go home!"
"Clan leader, have the people from the Tiger Flag said how they will treat our Kong family next?" asked a servant sent by a clan elder. dolphin
They were sent here to inquire about information, so they naturally found out the exact information so that they could go back and report back.
Duke Yan Sheng glanced in the direction of the sound.
But there were too many people around, and it was impossible to find the speaker among the crowd.
Of course, these few words also expressed the feelings of many people in the Kong clan, so many people looked at Duke Yansheng in the sedan chair, waiting for him to give an answer.
"Okay, let's all go back. Do what you should do in the past. Live a good life. No one dares to do anything to you!" Yan Shenggong said perfunctorily.
But I know in my heart that good days are coming for these poor people.
Many Kong clan members present heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. dolphin
The tiger-character flag has long been notorious in Qufu, so for ordinary Kong clan members like them, as long as everything remains unchanged, life will be a good one.
What they fear most is that the Tiger Flag will change everything and make it even worse for poor families like them who are not already wealthy.
As for the Huzi Banner's establishment of farmers' associations in various places to allocate farmland, these Kong clan members knew nothing about it.
What they learned about the Tiger-Character Flag was from the mouths of those high-ranking figures in the Kong family. Their impression of the Tiger-Character Flag was that of rebels who were burning, killing, and looting everywhere.
What the Tiger-Character Banner has done in various places has seriously violated the interests of the gentry class. As a representative of the gentry class, it is naturally impossible for Kong to speak well of the Tiger-Character Flag.
The few servants sent by the old families broke away from the crowd and ran towards the city to deliver the message.
The surrounding Kong clan members also returned to the city happily. dolphin
There was no one who was willing to stay and escort Yan Shenggong's sedan back to the city.
Of course, it is not that no one is willing to stay and sell themselves well in front of Yan Shenggong, but the ferocious tiger-character flag soldiers following Yan Shenggong's sedan make them unwilling to risk staying.
Compared with his own life, Yan Shenggong is not that important.
The crowd dispersed quickly.
Duke Yan's sedan set out on the road again until it entered the city without encountering any obstacles.
When the sedan chair returned to Duke Yansheng's mansion, there were actually several sedan chairs parked outside the gate.
Duke Yansheng, who came down from the sedan, saw these sedans and knew that the elders of each family had arrived. dolphin
He snorted coldly in his heart.
When he ventured out of the city, no one came, and no one even delivered the land title deeds that were supposed to be delivered to him. Now that they saw him coming back to the city, they all came looking for him.
After meeting the two generals of the Tiger Flag, he knew very well that no matter what plans the Kong clan had, they would only fail in the end.
After getting off the sedan, Duke Yansheng did not go back to the mansion immediately. Instead, he came to Yu Huai and said, "General Yu, please follow me into the mansion!"
Yu Huai looked around and said: "No, I will take over the Qufu County Government next. I also asked Yan Shenggong to have someone take me there, and tell the Qufu County Magistrate the news of Qufu being taken over. It would be bad if there was any accident.”
