Chapter 439: their respective positions
The room was quiet, and generals such as Ma Xiangnan, Jiang Tao and Jiang Shangyan all looked at Cheng Wuben in dumbfounded. They thought that the negotiation would break down, but they never expected that it would be what Cheng Wuben said.·Chinese·Novel.
According to Cheng Wuben, they will become Taiping Army next. Baoqing's Chu Army will become a battle camp of the Taiping Army, and from then on, they will become the front pawns of the Taiping Army, charging for the Taiping Army.
This result was unexpected.
"Ship Cheng, in this case, do we have to fully accept the command of the Taiping Army?" Jiang Tao asked frowned.
"Yes, Qin Feng will set up a General Staff Department and invite me to become the highest person in charge of the General Staff Department to be responsible for strategic planning and tactic formulation. I have agreed to him." Cheng Wuben nodded.
General Staff?
Jiang Shangyan and other generals were confused and had never heard of this yamen. Only Jiang Tao and Ma Xiangnan showed surprise on their faces.
"The yamen established by Emperor Li Qing back then?" Jiang Tao asked in surprise: "How could Qin Feng know these things? There is no information to show how profound Qin Feng had. These things are afraid that even in the history museums of various countries, they will be almost obscured."
"Yes, it is the departments established by Emperor Li Qing that year, not only the General Staff, but also the Operations Department, Logistics Department, Intelligence Department, etc.." Cheng Wuben spread his hands, "I don't know how he knew. Qin Feng's origin was a mystery. No one knew where he lived before joining the Western Frontier Army and what he did. Or maybe he was born in everyone, these things can't be found in the History Museum, but some big families can still see these things occasionally."
Ma Xiangnan was a little disappointed. If this was the case, then there would be nothing he had done here. "Shuai Cheng, is Qin Feng playing tricks? In fact, he wants to kill someone with a knife."
Cheng Wuben shook his head: "It's not that complicated. He doesn't need to use a knife to kill people now. If he wants to drive us away, the army outside will come over, and we have no other choice except to get on the boat and leave Baoqing. He just wants to kill two birds with one stone. His heart is very big!"
Sighing, Cheng Wuben continued: "He wants to keep us and threaten the Qi people with this. He wants to tell the Qi people that if he dares to turn against him, he will completely turn to us. Of course, he will not keep us here for nothing. The condition for staying here is to fight for him. Qin Feng's ultimate goal is to occupy the entire Yue Kingdom, but his current military strength is insufficient. How can he not give up a good thug like us? "
Everyone felt extremely depressed, but they couldn't find a way to vent.
They knew Qin Feng’s plan, but they could not refuse. It can be said that they could only jump to the pit that Qin Feng dug for them.
"How many people does he allow us to have?" Jiang Tao asked with some anger.
Cheng Wuben stretched out a slap: "Five thousand. We can replenish it on the spot or transport it from the local area, but the maximum is 5 thousand. Moreover, he will not provide us with salary or basic equipment. Of course, except during the war, during the war, we will make up for our consumption so that we will not lose our combat effectiveness because of this."
"The abacus is so sensible." Jiang Shangyan said angrily. "It is typical that he wants the horse to run away again, but he doesn't give the horse grass. Is this the only way to eat us?"
"He just won't be able to take us!" Cheng Wuben smiled bitterly: "Now the war between our Great Chu and Qi has reached a stalemate. Everyone knows that we are incomparable to the Qi people in comprehensive national strength. Luo Liang's first phase combat plan did not take Gaohu as scheduled. It can be said that we have fallen into a passive state. The longer the stalemate, the more difficult it will be. At this time, the development of the second battlefield becomes crucial."
"The question is, even if we try our best to support Qin Feng, will he use it for us?" Ma Xiangnan asked.
"Ma Gong said that this is a question that must be clear, otherwise we would raise tigers as a disaster!" said a group of generals.
"This is not a problem at all." Cheng Wuben smiled and said, "Let's assume that if Qin Feng really occupied Yue Kingdom and established his own country, think about it, are we the most worried, or are the Qi people the most worried?"
"Of course, the people of Qi are the most worried!" Jiang Tao said: "The Taiping Army is a highly aggressive organization. Once they occupy the Yue Kingdom in full, they will inevitably seek to gain more, and we are not bordering them. At that time, Qin Feng actually had only two choices, one was to compete with the Qin people, and the other was to seize food with the Qi people. The Qin people, except for the poor land and a mouth, there was nothing. Qin Feng would of course turn to Qi Kingdom, not to mention that Qi Kingdom now also occupied hundreds of miles of land in Yue Kingdom."
"Isn't that all?" Cheng Wuben smiled and said, "The Yue Kingdom is completely unreliable now. Luo Yishui will cause trouble soon. I don't know what he will do. I only know that once the incident occurs, the Yue Kingdom will inevitably be in chaos. If Qin Feng succeeds, it will only benefit and harmless for us. What's more, in Taiping City, we still have Princess Zhaohua! She is surnamed Min after all."
"Shishuai Cheng made a point. At that time, the three countries joined forces to fight against Qi or re-form, and the more aggressive Taiping Army may be more powerful than the current Yueting. By that time, whether Qin Feng is willing or not, they will actually open up a second battlefield for our Great Chu." Jiang Tao nodded slightly.
"Our Chu army will be called Baoqing Camp in the sequence of the Taiping Army, with Jiang Tao as the leader of the camp." Cheng Wuben said with a smile.
Jiang Tao stood up, but shook his head: "Shuai Cheng, I will follow you to the staff. To be honest, commanding in front of the battlefield is not my strength. I still have more experience in training and planning, and it is more suitable for me."
Cheng Wenben laughed: "I think you are not at ease with me, are you afraid that I will fall into someone else's trap."
Jiang Tao smiled, "Shuai Cheng, this will help me regain the feeling we felt when we were in Kunling Pass back then."
"You can't be the leader of this camp, so who will command the Baoqing camp in the future?" Cheng Wuben asked.
Jiang Tao looked back at the generals behind him: "The generals who can come to Baoqing are all the elites of my great Chu. Although the targets of this battle are not weak, according to Cheng Shuai, they will probably fight with the Tiger Army of Yueting or Luo Yishui's troops, and may even fight with the Qin people in the end, but we are not afraid of them. Everyone here is actually competent. However, considering comprehensively, I still think that Jiang Shangyan may be more suitable for the position of the camp leader."
Jiang Shangyan stood up with her mouth wide open and waved her hands repeatedly, "General, I'm afraid I can't afford this burden."
"What can't afford?" Cheng Wuben smiled, "The head general of the Taiping Army camp that is blocking our outside is Zhang Xiaozheng. He used to be a battalion chief of the eastern border army, so he won't say anything. Gan Wei, the general of the Taiping Army nicknamed Wild Dog in Zhengyang County, was just a captain. The head general of their miner camp was previously a county lieutenant, Zou Ming, the head general of the Pili Camp, used to be a hero in the world, Chen Jialuo, the head general of the Tiger Camp, was a landlord and gentry. Are you worse than them? You don't even have the confidence to compete with them?"
Jiang Shangyan suddenly turned red. After all, he was also a powerful general of the eastern border army of Great Chu. He still had this kind of self-esteem. He raised his head, thrust his chest, and shouted: "Ship Cheng, this task is the last one." He turned around and bowed to the other generals, "Brothers, please help more in the future."
There was a loud noise of armor leaves, and a group of generals stood up and saluted: "Abide by the order!"
Cheng Wuben smiled and nodded. Jiang Tao recommended Jiang Shangyan with his reason. All of these generals have their own characteristics. Everyone is thorny, otherwise they would not have been kicked out by Luo Liang. However, Jiang Shangyan is the most sleek and has the best popularity. This is still very important for a battalion leader. Only by uniting all his subordinates can he work together. This is extremely important for their army that is lonely.
Seeing that this matter had been basically settled, Ma Xiangnan sighed: "In this way, I will have nothing to do in Baoqing. When the next transport ship comes, I will go back and submit the order."
"No!" Cheng Wuben waved his hand, "Ma Gong, Qin Feng did not forget you. He gave him a seat. I wonder if you can accept it?"
"He has prepared a seat for me? What can I do as a literati?" Ma Xiangnan smiled and said, "If it is a consultant, a senator, an adviser, or something, then forget it."
"Mr. Ma was a good official in the Great Chu period, and he was a good official in his governance. He had great achievements in politics. Qin Feng took a fancy to you. The position he provided was the position of the county magistrate of Changyang County." Cheng Wuben said.
"Guardian of Changyang?" Everyone in the house was shocked, and Ma Xiangnan felt even more incredible. You know, the Taiping Army has only occupied two counties in total, and it is willing to hand over one county to Ma Xiangnan for management?
"I was also shocked, but I would understand after thinking about it." Cheng Wuben said: "As soon as the army left, you became a lonely person in Changyang County. All your subordinates were sent by the Taiping Army. Qin Feng just wanted to use your experience in governing the local area to help him restore Changyang County. You must know that Changyang County is now full of holes and rags. It is really difficult to recover without an experienced person to be the county magistrate."
"Even if I am here to be the county magistrate, it will be difficult to use it everywhere at that time." Ma Xiangnan shook his head and said.
