Chapter 642: Recapture Yuenan and annihilate the Gaul army!
Chapter 642: Recapture Yuenan and annihilate the Gaul army!
"Commander-in-chief, that woman's name is Yang Yi. It's no exaggeration to say that her father, Yang Zhen, is the richest man in Taiyuan Province. He owns several mines!"
"We cannot do without their active cooperation in taking over the provincial capital of Taiyuan Province. They will contribute money and manpower!"
"But just the day before yesterday, several miners suddenly stopped working under the instigation of the local government and the army!"
"Then these miners tied up Yang Zhen and some of the mine managers, claiming that Yang Zhen was exploiting them."
"Normally, these people don't have access to Yang Zhen, but the day before yesterday just happened to be the day he came to inspect the mine."
Officer Li looked at Qin Feng in front of him and saw that there was nothing unusual on his face before he continued speaking.
"According to the time now, the trial has probably already begun. When the trial is over, we will...!"
After hearing this, a fierce look flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.
The Beiyue Army is quite powerful now. Why didn't they put so much effort into facing the Gaul Army before?
"Commander-in-chief, if you ask me, these Beiyue soldiers are just a bunch of weaklings who only bully the weak and fear the strong. The Gaul army is riding on their heads, but these people are silent!"
Officer Li obviously hated the Beiyue Army's behavior very much, and he spoke with gritted teeth.
"It was us who drove away the Gaul army. We haven't said anything yet, but these Beiyue soldiers jumped out?"
"Not only did they secretly incite the local people, but they also continued to amass wealth!"
"Commander-in-Chief, how can we tolerate this?"
After hearing this, Bai Chongxi immediately said, "It's only been a few days, and the Beiyue Army is so impatient!"
Officer Li on the side said with disdain, "Of course they can't wait. We have taken seven provincial capitals in Yuenan in just a few days. Add the Xuanguang Province we captured yesterday, and that makes eight!"
"And the Beiyue Army didn't get back even a single thing!"
Bai Chongxi: "Commander-in-Chief, we must think of a way. If we keep silent this time, these Beiyue soldiers will definitely become more aggressive in the future!"
"After all, we conquered these places, and the common people and these wealthy businessmen are willing to support us!"
"If we continue to be instigated by the Beiyue Army like this, our interests will be harmed in the end!"
"Keep talking!"
Qin Feng nodded and continued to gesture.
After thinking for a while, Bai Chongxi spoke again: "Now we have two choices!"
"One is to suppress them with force. We have the strength. It's easy to beat a bunch of monkeys."
"But subsequent problems will also follow. Once we use force to suppress the Beiyue Army, the price we pay is that we will no longer have any way to gain a foothold in Yuenan!"
At the beginning, their Guangxi army entered the territory of Yuenan under the pretext of resisting the French and aiding Yuenan, but who would have thought that they would be taken advantage of by the Yuenan army.
After all, in the eyes of the Beiyue Army, to resist the French and aid Yue, there cannot be a second Yuenan army except them.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Beiyue Army, this Xia Kingdom army is a real good helper!
This is also why, when Qin Feng led them to attack seven provinces in a row, the Beiyue Army followed closely behind and collected wealth everywhere.
The real reason is that they want to use the legitimate identity of Beiyue Army to seize the real power in various parts of Yuenan as soon as possible.
However, the cost of suppressing by force is too high, which has seriously affected our subsequent plans.
If we choose the first option, we will have to continue to attack Dianbianfu without stopping and open up the important route to Laos.
As such, they were doomed to have no chance of ever being in Beiyue.
"Hmm." Qin Feng pondered for a moment and motioned Bai Chongxi to continue.
"The second method is to turn a blind eye. As long as they provide us with a certain amount of supplies and military rations, we can ensure the normal operation of our logistics!"
"This way, we will not only have a legitimate reason for subsequent operations, but also gain a good reputation, and we can also stay in the Beiyue area for a long time."
"It can be said that the only drawback is that it is aggrieved. The seven provincial capitals that our brothers fought day and night to conquer are now handed over to us just like that!"
Bai Chongxi's words immediately brought silence to the room.
No one would be willing to do such a futile task, let alone men like them!
No matter how this matter is handled, there will definitely be friction. It's just a matter of whether the name is right or not, and whether the words are smooth or not.
What they want is a good way to solve the problem quickly and without affecting themselves.
Killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of your own is a very frustrating method.
But this is obviously impossible...
The officers present scratched their heads for a while but still couldn't figure out the reason. They could only look at Qin Feng standing aside.
"Commander-in-Chief, if we really can't do anything else, let's follow Commander Bai's first method!"
"This Beiyue Army is really going too far!"
"Let's just fight them!"
Looking at the officers in front of him who were ready to fight, Qin Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"What are you doing like this?"
"Who said that those who fight against the law and aid Yue must be the Yue of their Beiyue Army?"
"If we are also Yue, wouldn't this be justified?"
After hearing these words, all the officers present widened their eyes and looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.
"Commander-in-Chief, are we also Yue?" An officer couldn't help but ask, "How...how is this possible?"
"How is it impossible?" Qin Feng asked back, "After all, Beiyue was our land a long time ago, and it can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties."
"Under the whole world, is it not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's ministers."
"Strictly speaking, we are the real orthodox army, and these Beiyue troops are outsiders!"
Looking at the officers in front of him, all of whom looked dazed, Qin Feng continued speaking.
"Now our Orthodox Army is recovering the people of Yuenan and destroying the Gaul Army. Isn't this reasonable?"
"Even these outsiders can't stop our actions!"
"Isn't that the truth?"
When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but clap and cheer excitedly, and they couldn't wait to get started.
"The Commander-in-Chief is right!"
"The king of heaven is here today, and this is also our territory!"
"We are the orthodox army. How dare these foreign Beiyue troops pretend to be stupid in front of us!"
Before, they had to seek legitimacy and justification to go south to Zhennan Pass, but now, they have become the legitimate army!
What else is there to say? Just pick up the gun and do it!
They failed to defeat the Gallic army back then, and now they still can't defeat this orthodox army from the Xia Kingdom!
