Chapter 146 Your Excellency the Brigade Leader

The Ninth Master was full of confidence in conquering the life, although his greatest contribution to the Imperial Army was that his nephew and great-grandson were the founder of the Imperial Army.

The ninth Grand Master has participated in the training, but he is old and old. Who dares to drink from Eunuch Wei’s Grand Master? Don’t you want to stay in the Imperial Army?

As for the war, the Ninth Master also fought. When the Nandu Anti-Santh Route siege, the Ninth Master was in charge of Liyang County. After the war, he personally led people to clean the battlefield and was awarded the third-class merit once.

Therefore, whether it is qualifications or practical experience, the Ninth Master is well-deserved and able to convince the public as the commander of the first brigade of this security division.

However, Master Jiu was a little unwilling to accept it, or was dissatisfied. He felt that with his qualifications, he had to be the commander of the division.

Why did the division commander ask him to do it?

When I was in trouble back then, when you, Guo Qilaizi, saw you, like a grandson, did you, like a grandson? Now, yesterday, the pheasant flew up the tree and wanted to turn into a phoenix?

There is no door!

You, Guo Qi, don’t even urinate and smell it. Is this imperial army’s surname Wei or Guo?

He was so angry that the Ninth Master did not take Guo Qilaizi as the division commander seriously, so the second dad originally asked Guo Qilaizi to be responsible for the Taipei Guard offensive, but after hearing this, the Ninth Master slammed the table and snatched the task.

Nothing else, Master Jiu just wants to call Erdaizi to see which one is better, he or Guo Qilaizi!

Eunuch Wei is so good, but he actually has a headache. On one hand, he is his ninth master and on the other hand, he is his seventh uncle, which is not easy to offend. Fortunately, his seventh uncle is very considerate of his nephew's difficulties, and consciously stayed at the Zhongzuo Institute and said he would be responsible for the subsequent second brigade to supplement the visit to Taiwan, so he did not make a joke about the division commander and the brigade commander cursing in the street.

Eunuch Wei is also confident about whether the Ninth Master can complete the task successfully.

The source of confidence is not that the Ninth Master is old and has seen many things, but that the basic staff of the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade were the Suning soldiers and the Japanese surrendered from Liaodong, as well as the original Nandu family soldiers and the three major battalions. The weapons and equipment were very good, and the first brigade under it was even equipped with flintlock guns equipped with all staff.

Such an well-equipped army cannot be compared with the Guard Division, but it is not easy to use to deal with the life spans and arrows that only have primitive weapons, or even bamboo guns and bamboo arrows?

More importantly, the terrain of each thousand household in Taipei garrison is mainly plain, and the mountainous area is much smaller than that of Taichung and Tainan. It is suitable for the Imperial Army to launch combat. The tribes of each generation are not large in population and have not been able to form an "alliance". The Imperial Army also has security teams from various townships to assist. It can be said that the time, place and people are harmonious, and if this is not enough, it is impossible to win. Eunuch Wei thinks that the first brigade can have a caesarean section.

"Grandmaster, you're always worried about the development of Double Eleven!"

Eunuch Wei personally sent the Ninth Grand Master and the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade to fight north. Not long after, he heard that the Ninth Grand Master and the officers and soldiers said that the battle would end before the end of the year, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade were going to Taipei for the New Year. Eunuch Wei was very excited and asked someone to build a big smoke bluff to give it to Mr. Jiu.

.........

Strictly speaking, the Ninth Master had never led the troops to fight, but the Ninth Master did not think that his family was not the material for leading the troops. He believed that leading troops to fight was a fine tradition of the old Wei family. Otherwise, his nephew and great-grandson would have led the imperial army to fight in the east yesterday.

The old saying goes, brothers who fight tigers and fight father and sons. Although their own bones are old, they can still be a fool!

The first target of the Ninth Master is Pingpufan. This Pingpufan is so bad that it would be fine if he doesn’t take the initiative to surrender, but why did he even kill the envoy of the Imperial Army!

In order to kill one to warn a hundred, the Ninth Grandpa personally directed and dispatched more than 2,000 officers and soldiers from two brigades of the First Regiment. With the cooperation of the Xinsanxiang and Xinsixiang Public Security Team, he launched a lightning attack on Pingpufan, which has a population of only more than 3,000.

The captain of the first regiment was Ma Wenqing, the cousin of Eunuch Wei. The captain of the first regiment was Xu Xing, the former general of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and the captain of the second regiment was Matsumoto Okazu, the former first army of the Japanese invaders.

Although the Ninth Master is not a member of the division commander Guo Qilaizi, he pays special attention to listening to the suggestions of "capable people". Therefore, Xu Xing and Matsumoto Okazu, who have practical experience and military service experience, are highly valued by the Ninth Master, and Ma Wenqing also attaches great importance to the two captains under him.

The chief of staff of the brigade was Lu Jianrong, the former chief of the Wusong River Camp. Later, he was transferred to the Staff Office to be Jiang Xifeng. After Eunuch Wei officially established the Staff System, Lu Jianrong was sent to be the chief of staff in the First Brigade.

Lu Jianrong was responsible for his duties. Before the war, he fully listened to the information about Zhushengfans by the local Han people and the New Han people. Based on the direction of the First Brigade and the configuration of officers and soldiers, he formulated a combat plan. That is, to concentrate troops and first eliminate the Bunon, Zou tribe and other tribes with a small tribe population, and then attacked Pingpu, Taroko and other tribes with a large population.

On the one hand, this will allow brigade officers and soldiers to be trained in actual combat, and on the other hand, it will minimize casualties. Moreover, subsequent wars can be maintained by seizures, and there is no need to worry about the cut off supply of food and grass that affects the war.

This is a steady plan. After all, the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade have too many new recruits, and there are less than 3,000 people who can be used in war. In terms of food and grass supply, the Imperial Army currently mainly relies on the joint fleet to transport sea from Zhongzuo, which consumes a lot. Before it could completely occupy Taiwan, Eunuch Wei banned the Imperial Army from collecting grain from Han people and the new Han people.

In this way, fighting to support war has become a practical and feasible plan for the Imperial Army's combat operations.

The Ninth Master opposed this plan. He proposed to capture the king first, and the First Brigade must first concentrate superior forces to eliminate several large tribes with a large number of people. In this way, the remaining small tribes will feel the terror of the Imperial Army and then come to surrender, which will shorten the time to pacify the Taipei Wei Zhufan.

"If you insist on doing this, then I will obey it completely!"

Lu Jianrong often contacted Eunuch Wei when he was in the General Staff, and over time he had some "daily chemicals" in language. As the Chief of Staff, his duty was to provide the best combat plan for the brigade commander, but if the brigade commander did not agree with this plan, he could only do his best to implement the deployment of the brigade commander.

"loyalty!"

The Ninth Master knocked the big puff in his hand, and the officers immediately stood up and stretched out their right arms: "Loyalty!"
Chapter completed!
