Chapter 30
Cao Yingcai only has more than 3000 people, and the equipment under his men is sparse and poor. On average, three people have one gun, and the others are either armed with swords or long spears.
What they eat is millet rice, and occasionally there is a thin meal. How can such nutrition cultivate the strength of the army?
Looking at Jiang Lin's subordinates, they ate thick food every day, and there were several meals of meat every week. Everyone became stronger after joining the army, which made everyone want to join Jiang Lin's army.
Moreover, after systematic training, everyone uses the 98 rifles made in Debang, each company even has a heavy machine gun, and each battalion has a mortar, which can be said to be armed to the teeth. This kind of army, even It can be said to be one of the best armies in the world.
Jiang Lin has the feeling of beating mosquitoes with cannons, killing chickens with a sledgehammer, but this is Jiang Lin's first battle in the true sense, it really must be fought, and it must be fought with momentum. Of course, it is not now, the timing Not yet.
It shouldn't be long before Yuan Datou is about to die, when Duan Ruiqi goes to Beijing to fight for power, then he will have the final say on the entire Jiangnan Province.
"Tell them to hold back first, and I will let them do it in a short time."
Jiang Lin's plan had been communicated to Jiang Chengjin and other major generals, so they had been looking forward to that day, but they didn't expect to be so eager to wait just after forming the army.
"Yes, Marshal, I'll tell them right away." Xiao San'er covered his mouth and snickered. He knew how anxious Jiang Chengjin was every day, and he had been training the new recruits ruthlessly just to show off in front of the Marshal. It's a pity that It seems that I have to hold back this energy.
. . .
What Jiang Lin didn't expect was that things developed so fast. It didn't take long for the news that Yuan Datou died of uremia spread throughout the Republic of China. As soon as he got the news, Jiang Lin summoned all his staff army.
Looking at the eager little San'er who was in a trance, Jiang Lin directly ordered:
"Little San'er, immediately notify the Nanming security group to gather, and notify the Pucheng security group to prepare for battle. After we pass by, we will launch a battle against Wuzhou as soon as possible, and ask Yang Kenan to send someone to touch Wuzhou first." With the help of Cao Ying in the state, take Wuzhou with as little loss of manpower as possible."
"Yes, sir."
Xiao San'er's face was flushed with excitement, and he was about to move, but he didn't expect the deputy captain of the guard, Jiang Chengjin, to run into Xiao San'er while holding a piece of paper while yelling.
"Master, great joy, great joy."
Xiao San'er stopped. He wanted to see what kind of happy event could make Cheng Jin more excited than him.
Seeing that he bumped into Xiao San'er, Jiang Chengjin was about to apologize, but the paper in his hand was snatched by Xiao San'er.
Xiao San'er originally frowned, but after reading the news on the paper, he also started to shout: "Marshal, what a joyful event."
For a while, Xiao San'er suppressed Jiang Chengjin's loud voice, making him stunned on the spot.
Jiang Lin also became interested. What kind of happy event was it that stunned both of them?
Xiao San'er didn't hesitate anymore, and directly read the document on the paper: "To Jianglin, Mr. Yuan is mourning, and the whole country is in grief. However, this is a time of national calamity. I will go to Beijing on the moon, and it will be a state matter. I can't retreat. Only the ruler of the south of the Yangtze River has the right to control the army in the south of the Yangtze River. I have also heard the name of the king. I look forward to seeing the suffering of the people, observing the dangers of foreign countries, sympathizing with the people, and resisting foreign countries. Fortunately, the letter of appointment has arrived in a few days. National Minister Duan Ruiqi."
"The Governor of Jiangnan, Commander, you will be the Governor of Jiangnan from now on."
"I have seen Lord Overseer."
The two of them were excited, but they bowed down in a decent manner.
"Okay, hurry up and inform me of what I just said, and I'll come right over. As for the matter just now, don't reveal it. I need to think about it carefully."
"Yes, Commander." Xiao San'er led Jiang Chengjin back, he couldn't figure out why the Commander still had to think about such a good thing, didn't he just accept it?However, without Jiang Lin's order, he did not dare to tell everyone about this matter, and he felt very uncomfortable.
At this moment, Jiang Lin was thinking about whether he should accept the letter of appointment that Duan Ruiqi sent him.
"I didn't expect that Ruiqi went to the capital a few days ago. I guess she got the news in advance and then went to control the Beiyang government. The reason why I was asked to control the Jiangnan Governor was probably partly because of my strength, and partly to win over me. , after all, he has directly revealed his identity, the National Chief, haha, what a great official."
"He wanted to win me over and let me be the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, but his Duan family army didn't leave Hangzhou for a single step. It seems that it was just a name.
However, this name is not bad, and it can stand on the ground of righteousness. In this way, it is justifiable for me to send troops. "
Jiang Lin's eyes lit up, and he finally made up his mind. He planned to accept this appointment and ask him to work for Duan Ruiqi in the future, so he thought too much. If you want me to listen to you, beat me to death first.
The security team was convened very quickly. After all, they are soldiers who have undergone long-term formal training. They do not have the bad habits of ordinary troops. Moreover, because Jiang Lin takes good care of the army, there is no one who dares to steal and play tricks. If there are such people, there is no need If Jiang Lin stepped forward, the other soldiers would kick him out of the army directly. Isn't this confuse them.
Jiang Lin was wearing a special handsome uniform, which he made according to his memory. It was very handsome and practical, and made his temperament and image much taller.
"Brothers of the security regiment, soldiers, I think everyone already knows me."
All the soldiers laughed, Jiang Lin and the others were not familiar with him. He was the savior of the family and the best commander in the world.
"Everyone knows my character, so I don't want to talk nonsense. I called you here today. I have two things to say. First, the Beiyang government has appointed me as the governor of Jiangnan. After careful consideration, I finally agreed. , everyone can be regarded as a member of the Jiangnan Army in the future, of course, I prefer to call you the Nanming Army, what do you think?"
Jiang Lin's voice was not low, but under the blessing of mana, the tens of thousands of people gathered here could hear Jiang Lin's words clearly.
In an instant, everyone including Jiang Chengjin was shocked.
"The Governor of Jiangnan ~ This is a prince."
Jiang Chengjin took a deep breath, and then suddenly shouted: "Jiangnan Governor General Jiang!!!"
All the people below shouted in unison: "Jiangnan Governor General Jiang!!!"
"Jiangnan Governor General Jiang!!!"
"Jiangnan Governor General Jiang!!!"
"What are we? The Nanming Army is the commander's loyal army. I, Jiang Chengjin, swear to be loyal to the commander forever."
Jiang Chengjin's voice was very penetrating and filled with strong emotions, and it reached everyone's hearts at once.
"Nanming Army!!!"
"Nanming Army!!!"
"I will swear allegiance to the Marshal!!!"
"I will swear allegiance to the Marshal!!!"
"Huh..." Looking at this shocking scene, Jiang Lin was a little excited, this is his army.
"Well done, brothers, I, Jiang Lin, will never treat any brother badly, Jiang Chengjin."
"Yes, Commander." Jiang Cheng stood in front of Jiang Lin with a formal military salute.
Jiang Lin looked at this rhythmic guy and was secretly happy. This guy is really good.
