Chapter 165 Chain reaction

After Shi Dakai came, Tan Lun resigned as Chief of Staff of the Legion, and Shi Dakai served as the leader of the army.

Moreover, a navy number has been added under the legion, temporarily named the Yellow River Fleet, with one admiral and ten people under it.

The Qiang General was equipped with five guards.

The captain of each heavy warship is Qian Zong, and the captain of the armed transport ship serves as the garrison.

Put the shelf first, and then slowly recharge the number of people.

The navy's organization is definitely not the same as the land division, and it mainly uses warships as the basic unit.

The navy admiral is now vacant and Shi Dakai is temporarily appointed as the general.

In the original history, Shi Dakai was not only excellent in land warfare, but also in water war command. For example, during the naval battle in Wuhu, Jiujiang and Wuhu, Zeng Guofan was forced to jump into the lake and commit suicide, which shows that his military command ability is really comprehensive.

Moreover, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, muskets had become the main equipment of the army, and flintlock rifles were even very common.

It is no exaggeration to say that many of the weapons, equipment, military ideas and tactics of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were beyond the Qing army at that time.

How far was the Qing army lagging behind? Later, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, many of the Qing armies' muskets were still primitive mesh rope guns.

It's really a hell that such an army can fight those troops that have even begun to be equipped with rifles.

Tan Lun then focused on being the chief manager of the Yanzhou General Administration Office, and cooperated with Shi Dakai to manage the Yanzhou base area.

Both of them were really trustworthy and trustworthy. Li Xu did not delay any longer. After giving in, he took 500 cavalry back to Sanshui County.

When passing Huangling County, Li Xu also specially prepared some sacrifices to go to the Huangdi Mausoleum to pay tribute to the ancestors of China.

However, at this time, the Huangdi Mausoleum was in chaos, and all the people who were responsible for the maintenance and cleaning were gone, leaving only a lonely temple with pale faces and thin skin almost starving to death.

The walls of the cemetery and the buildings inside are quite complete. It seems that the protection of the local government is pretty good on weekdays.

After Li Xu's sacrifice, he left some food and silver for the thin temple blessings and continued to rush to Sanshui County.

The Yellow Emperor Mausoleum must be maintained well in the future. Li Xu has explained this to Tan Lun before.

Whoever is on the territory of the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum will be more orthodox.

Although these things seem to be not significantly bonus, they are definitely a plus point.

After leaving the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, Li Xu was not in a hurry and marched slowly. He would clean up the bandits or bandits who encountered small groups of bandits or defeated soldiers.

However, they chose to bypass the city as much as possible in the route to avoid revealing their identity.

However, after entering the area of ​​Guanzhong North Road, Li Xu felt that the atmosphere became obviously a little nervous, and there were sometimes cavalry scouts on the road.

Even when I saw Li Xu and others, someone followed and observed them.

Li Xu knew that the news that Lin Yi must have been wiped out had been sent back to the capital, so he became nervous throughout Guanzhong.

The cavalry scouts I encountered on the road must have been sent by various counties.

Li Xu asked someone to raise the banner of his "Ambassador to Resist the Thieves" and the Sanshui County Captain, and rushed openly. The figures following him disappeared soon.

After entering Guanzhong, the road was much easier. After leaving Yanzhou for seven days, Li Xu returned to Sanshui County again.

Five hundred cavalrymen returned to the camp, and Li Xu brought a few guards into the city. He found that the inspection efforts in and out at the city gate were better than when he left. He knew that it was also a chain reaction caused by Lin Yi's defeat.

Li Xu entered the city from the east gate. The guard at the east gate was the garrison commander who was stationed in the county barracks. When he saw Li Xu and his group hurried over to greet him.

Li Xu nodded and looked at this person.

Natun nodded, indicating that everything is normal and nothing special happened.

Li Xu understood and brought people into the city.

I was so busy that I wanted to go home and take a shower first, so I asked Xiao Ailin to rub her shoulders, and check the girl with long legs to check her recent development, then make a few laughs with her own girl, have a meal and sleep before going to the county government to find Liu Jian, but was stopped by Liu Quan halfway.

Li Xu was a little surprised and thought to himself that Liu Jian knew he was back so soon, so he sent someone to wait for him here.

After asking Liu Quan, Liu Quan smiled bitterly and said that he had been waiting at the city gate every day for the past few days, saying that Liu Jian asked Li Xu to go to the county government to find him as soon as he came back.

Liu Jian knew the reason for looking for him. It was obvious that Lin Yi's defeat made Liu Jian nervous, so he wanted to discuss with him how to prevent the high-bearded thief army from going south to Guanzhong again.

Although Li Xu knew that Lin Yi's defeat had spread, the Qin court probably thought it was Lin Yi defeated by Gao Huzi, and he had no idea of ​​the existence of the Tang army.

Although Li Xu has decided to let Tan Lun and Shi Dakai publicly slap the banners of "Tanghou" and "Yanzhou General Administration", it has not officially begun yet.

According to Li Xu's plan, Shi Dakai led his army to recover the counties south of Yan'an Prefecture and then used the banner of "Tanghou" to slam the Qin court. This would shock the Qin court even more and more intensely.

Leaving Liu Quan, Li Xu rode his horse directly to the county government gate.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Geng Liang, who was transferred by Li Xu to the county yard to serve as the head of the third yamen runners' squad, happened to give lectures to several new yamen runners at the county yard gate.

When I heard someone running horses at the county government gate, my face turned and wanted to whip. But when I turned around, I found that it was Li Xu. I instantly smiled and held the reins of the horse and said, "General, you are back. You are like us who have the backbone this time."

Only the two brothers called Li Xu the general, and Li Xu didn't care. Hearing this, he pointed at Geng Liang with a whip and cursed, "You, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, can flatter you. Is it still peaceful in the city recently? Are there any traitors who commit crimes?"

Geng Liang was scolded but laughed even more vigorously, saying, "Who dares to commit suicide if you have your reputation as a general? Even if there are those who are blind, they will have already done all the humble positions for him."

Li Xu nodded and walked straight in.

Although I haven't been in the city for half a month, the people in the county government were all in a hurry, and they were no longer as loose and lazy as before.

Seeing Li Xu strode in with his armor and strode in from the stars, they hurriedly avoided the salute.

Although Li Xu was just the second master in the county government office, the one these people feared the most was him, the second master.

He is not so afraid of the eldest master Liu Jian, because everyone knows that the second master is the one who is holding a knife. If he annoys the second master, his life may be lost at any time.

After entering the second yamen all the way, he arrived at the small courtyard where Liu Jian worked. When Liu Jian heard that Li Xu was back, he actually took the initiative to greet him. His expression on his face was both happy and anxious.

This made Li Xu a little curious about the reaction in the capital to Lin Yi’s defeat.
