Chapter 112: Dragon Teng Army
Yue Fei pierced Zuo Liangyu with one shot, not only did not let his private soldiers rout, but instead aroused their anger.
Most of the military salaries allocated by the imperial court were used by Zuo Liangyu to cultivate his cronies.
The rest of the army can only receive a small part of the salary, which is the main reason why the hundreds of thousands of troops do not have much combat effectiveness.
If you don't pay your military salary, or even seriously deduct your salary, who is willing to give you your life.
And for those who worked hard for Zuo Liangyu, killing Zuo Liangyu was equivalent to cutting off those people's rations and money bags.
These people looked at each other, and their eyes could breathe fire, and a spear in the hand of a thousand commanders moved:
"The brothers fought with them, and we couldn't survive without the big handsome."
"Fight, fight with them......"
Whoever moves the money bag, everyone will be anxious, and under the leadership of the commander, two or three thousand people rushed towards Yue Fei.
The truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, how could Yue Fei not understand, he urged the white dragon horse to kill the commander head-on.
Some of the rebels who stepped forward to intercept were picked up by Yue Fei Liquan's spear.
"Up"
Yu Huatian shouted, and also drew his sword and pounced, and as his sword light flashed, blood arrows spurted out.
Five Dongchang stall leaders followed Yuhuatian and then entered the rebel formation.
Don't look at the fact that there are only seven people, and in a melee they kill nearly a hundred rebels in a row, and no one can stop them.
Seeing Yue Fei and the others so fierce, Qianfu spear waved in the air:
"Archer Releases"
As he gave an order, all of a sudden, the arrows flew in unison.
Yue Fei waved the Liquan Divine Spear and fired arrows, and the white dragon horse did not stop, and soon killed the commander in the rain of arrows.
The commander snorted coldly, and the big gun stabbed Yue Fei in the chest.
Yue Fei Liquan Divine Spear pulled out, easily brushed away the Qianfu spear, and before the Qianfu Commander made another move, the Liquan Divine Spear had already pierced into his lower abdomen.
"Poof......
"Bang Bang ......"
A shot pierced into the opponent's lower abdomen, and Yue Fei Liquan raised the spear, threw the commander out of the way, and smashed it on the archer.
Immediately, several more archers were crushed to death by their leader.
Almost at the same time, Yuhuatian and the five big stalls also entered the archer formation.
Dao sword light and sword light flashed, and they all clutched their throats and fell to the ground and died.
"Soldiers, kill them all, and leave no prisoners."
"Kill ......"
Huang Degong and Vice General surnamed Jin were both shocked by the toughness of Yue Fei and Yu Huatian and others.
It wasn't until they killed the commander and the archers that they reacted and immediately ordered the rebels to be killed.
Thirty or forty thousand men rushed upwards and immediately surrounded these rebels, and a unilateral massacre began.
In the first candle of incense, most of the rebels were killed, and the last few who threw away their weapons and wanted to surrender were also killed mercilessly.
The opportunity to surrender had already been given to them, but they did not cherish it, and it was too late to surrender when they saw that they were defeated.
If they had the upper hand, wouldn't Huang Degong and the others all have to be killed by them.
Yue Fei's battle greatly shocked Huang Degong and those soldiers who surrendered in the early stage.
They had never encountered such a strong general for so many years, and almost single-handedly killed a hundred rebel soldiers.
The white horse, white robe, and silver spear stained the battlefield with blood, it is simply a person blocking the killing god and blocking the killing god.
Yuhuatian and the five big stalls are the same, not only are their martial arts extremely high, but their methods are also very cruel, and no one under them survived.
After settling all the opposing rebels, Huang Degong immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and Zuo Liangyu's property to be cleaned up.
For Zuo Liangyu's family, Yue Fei chose to forgive them this time, and did not kill them all.
In Zuo Liangyu's warehouse, a large pile of silver and gold jewelry was found.
These not only embezzled the salaries of the soldiers, but also looted property from the common people.
The army food was enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops for several months, and Yue Fei ordered some to be left behind, and the rest was distributed to the local poor people.
After the final count, Zuo Liangyu's treasury actually reached more than 5 million taels of silver, 20,000 taels of gold, and there were many jewels that had not been counted.
Yue Fei gave an order, and all the arrears of military salaries were settled, and some rewards were also issued to them.
After detailed statistics, the surrender army reached 350,000.
Coupled with those rebels who resisted and were killed, Zuo Liangyu's real strength was less than 400,000.
In other words, he falsely reported half of the number of people, and those falsely reported military salaries all went into Zuo Liangyu's own treasury.
With so much silver, Zuo Liangyu actually deducted the salaries of the soldiers.
How could such a person be reused by Da Ming for so many years, Yue Fei really couldn't figure it out.
Although Huang Degong's command had such casualties, Yuhuatian was still very satisfied with today's results.
"General Huang, General Jin, you gather all the soldiers together, and our family has something to announce."
"Obedience"
Huang Degong and Jin Shengheng immediately asked the heralds to assemble.
After half a pillar of incense, Yuhua Tian Yuefei and Jin Shengheng and others appeared in the military academy field, and all the troops were assembled here.
Yuhuatian read the holy decree in public, and the army was officially named the Dragon Teng Army.
Yue Fei is the governor of the Longteng Army, and Huang Degong is the deputy governor, and he is the second product.
And Jin Shengheng was not appointed by the emperor, so he was temporarily Yue Fei's deputy general, and he would be rewarded later.
It turned out that Jin Shengheng was unknown, but in Zuo Liangyu's army, an ordinary local deputy general who was not taken seriously, could not even reach the seventh grade.
Although he is still a deputy general, he is the first deputy general under Yue Fei's account, and the deputy general of Zheng Sipin, which is equivalent to suddenly being promoted by several levels.
Jin Shengheng's eyes were red with moved, and he secretly swore allegiance to Daming.
At the end of a series of appointments, Yue Fei stepped onto the high platform, and he was about to speak.
Before speaking, on the recommendation of Huang Degong and Jin Shengheng, he appointed five more lieutenant generals.
Yue Fei looked around, and then announced the reorganization of the army.
First of all, the settling-in allowance was paid, and the old and weak and wounded soldiers were dismissed.
If they don't want to leave the army, they can go and work on a newly formed farm.
Because now the imperial court does not default on deducting military salaries, as a result, everyone is reluctant to leave the army and has expressed their allegiance to the Ming Dynasty.
In order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the army, Yue Fei had to arrange for them to work on the farm, and recall them if necessary.
I heard that if you go to work on the farm, you will not only have food to eat, but also support your family.
In the future, 150,000 young, strong, and physically good soldiers will be left behind, and these people will form a real dragon army.
Among these people, 50,000 soldiers with good riding skills were selected to form the cavalry of the Dragon Teng Army.
Subsequently, a sword and shield corps was formed, with 50,000 troops, and 30,000 firearms battalions and artillery.
The remaining 20,000 people are logistics and combat teams and reserve personnel, and reserves will not be used except in exceptional circumstances.
Once the army is formed, the next step is to appoint the leaders of the various arms.
Military regulations and military discipline are what Yue Fei must emphasize.
If an army does not have strict military regulations, it will not be able to form a strong fighting force at all.
Looking at the soldiers who were standing straight, Yue Fei nodded, and then announced the military regulations of the Longteng Army:
"Now, the Governor of Pontus has announced the military regulations of the Dragon Teng Army, and I hope you will strictly abide by them, and if there are violators, they will not be spared.
First, do not harass the people, but love them as children.
Second, there should be no internal fighting, but unity and external unity, and no disobedience to the orders of superiors.
Third, we must not hold back from the battle, retreat from the battle, flee from the battle, and abandon our comrades-in-arms. ”
……
……
A series of strict military regulations were announced, and many people felt that they were too harsh.
But now they have no way out, they can only let themselves adapt, or they will move their heads.
They didn't have any military regulations at all before, and it was normal for them to rob the people and flee from the battle.
Their commander Zuo Liangyu is such a person, not to mention the soldiers under his command.
After the army is reorganized and the military regulations are formulated, they will face strict and cruel training next, and Yue Fei will not leave a bad seed under his command.
