Chapter 057: Going North
Only after seeing the powerful can we have a sense of awe.
After entering the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, Shao Xing realized that he had thought that he had some outstanding martial arts, but he did not have the slightest advantage in the army.
The military rules of the Loyal and Righteous Army are strict, everyone regards military law and military regulations as the foundation, and the battle pays attention to the group, and how fierce the individual martial arts are, when it comes to the army, it can only be a drop in the sea, and not even a single wave can be turned.
The former army of the Loyal and Righteous Army is the elite of the army, and the scout battalion of the former army is the elite of the elite. Being in such a group, Shao Xing is naturally walking on thin ice.
Just by looking at the faces of the people below, he knew that there were many people who disobeyed him. Let's just say that his two deputies, Xu San and Tan Xiong, are all brave and strong, with excellent martial arts, and they have a large group of supporters around them.
At this time, he secretly rejoiced, if it weren't for his rich five cars, and his advanced skills in the cultural class, he might not be able to sit in this position at the head of the capital.
In these days in the army, he also knew that although the scout camp was dangerous, it was also the place where he could get ahead. As long as he does it well, it may not be long before he can command an army and dominate the world.
Recently, the rumors of the Northern Expedition in the army are noisy, and the sergeants are all upset and uneasy, even Shao Xing and others also feel the smell of the coming big war and the wind and rain.
All kinds of armor were sent down, javelins, firearms, chariots, feathered arrows, shields, and all kinds of supplies were sent to the armies like a tide, and the sound of artillery and thunderous explosions outside the camp continued, obviously the army was training the use of firearms.
I heard that on the side of Longde Mansion, a huge warehouse for heavy grain and grass has been built, and many materials in the army have been transported there for turnover purposes, this is not for the Northern Expedition, what can it be?
The scout battalions of the former army, including hundreds of scouts from the scout camps of various armies, were basically sent out to inquire about the military situation and collect information.
The generals of the various armies in the battalion were busy training the armies and checking the equipment every day, and everyone felt like a fire in their hearts, and even their usual voices were a little louder.
The diet in the army is a little better than usual, fresh vegetables, all kinds of meat are common, but after the sergeants have eaten and drunk enough, the generals of each army issue a pre-war mobilization, and this is the case every day.
"Brothers, there is about to be a war with Fanzi, are you afraid?"
Li Xiaochun shouted loudly in the face of the black pressure below.
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! Don't be afraid!"
The thunderous roar of the sergeants was recalled.
", some of you must be scared, aren't you?"
Li Xiaochun immediately turned his face and frowned.
Sure enough, there was silence below.
"It's normal to be afraid, it's useless to be afraid, if you're afraid, Fanzi will kill you more fiercely, sometimes it's like killing a dog!"
His eyes swept over the young faces in front of him, and Li Xiaochun's voice suddenly became louder.
"Don't forget who made you what you are today, and don't forget who killed your family, burned down your house, and wanted to be a man and a dog, and touch your conscience!"
"Be a man, not a dog!"
"Be human!"
Sporadic shouts rang out, followed by the soldiers shouting angrily, and the loud sound was deafening.
"Well said, be a man, not a dog!"
Li Xiaochun and the other soldiers stopped shouting angrily and continued to shout loudly.
"You have to remember that when you are in the Loyal Army, it is difficult to be a dog! When he arrives on the battlefield, if anyone escapes from the battle, he doesn't need to do anything, Lao Tzu will give him a ride first!"
Li Xiaochun's icy gaze swept over the soldiers' faces and raised his fist.
"Kill the thief and avenge the blood!"
The soldiers below shouted with Li Xiaochun.
"Kill the thief and avenge the blood!"
"Kill the thief and avenge the blood!"
On the side of the field, watching the hysterical shouts of the soldiers and hearing the deafening roar, Ouyang Che and Chen Dong were both stunned and speechless for a long time.
"Brother Ouyang, the military heart is available!"
After a long time, Chen Dong came up with a sentence.
"I have long heard that the elite division of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army dominates the world, and now I look at it, although the ancient Sun Wu is nothing more than that, but so!"
Chen Dong shook his head and shook his head, his expression was excited, and he felt like an old man talking about juvenile madness.
"With such a strong army, my heart is swaying below, and I can't help myself. No wonder those corpse vegetarians in the imperial court are making things difficult in every way, who can feel at ease with such a strong army!"
Ouyang Che was shocked in his heart, turned his head, and said in surprise: "What does Brother Chen mean, the imperial court will interfere with the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army?"
"Brother Ouyang, Wang Xianggong's method of training soldiers is the best in the world, and he still dared to compete with the Jurchen army with the remnants of the rabble, not to mention that today's soldiers are strong and strong!"
The two have known each other for many days, are like-minded, and have long become friends who talk about everything.
"Brother Ouyang is not in the court, I don't know that this court is full of incompetent people with public and private uses, temperance and intrigues, these people are no longer familiar with it. Whether Wang Xianggong wins or loses, it won't be long before the imperial court will intervene in the Hedong army, and I'm afraid you and I will also be implicated. ”
"Brother Chen, I'm not afraid of any involvement."
The corners of Ouyang Che's mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of arrogance appeared on his face.
"As you said, the loyal soldiers are strong and strong, the military discipline is strict, and they are good at firearms, and the chances of winning this Northern Expedition should be extremely high. I don't believe that when the king has made a great contribution, the official family will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and he will not be able to be punished? If that's the case, I, Ouyang Che, will be the first to go to the court to shout grievances!"
Chen Dong couldn't help but smile wryly. Ouyang Che is too upright and ambitious, but he doesn't know that above the court, there are many people with ill intentions, how can it be as simple as he thinks.
Such a strong soldier, as long as he fights one or two big battles, he can be invincible in the world, even if the official family has the intention to favor Wang Song, but the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, such as Geng Nanzhong, Qin Hui and others, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Brother Ouyang, do you know that on the occasion of the Northern Expedition, why didn't Wang Xianggong mobilize a soldier from the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army?"
"Why is this, please tell my brother?"
Ouyang Che was slightly stunned, Chen Dong's words reminded him of rumors in the army.
"Wang Xianggong created the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, just like the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, who knew that the imperial court also placed the Hebei disposal envoy Zhang Jun, and the deputy envoy Wan Qian and others. These people are working in the army, making the generals in the army all have evil intentions. Wang Xianggong was extremely disappointed, and this is ......"
Ouyang Che felt a "sigh" in his heart, sure enough, someone was hindered, and he couldn't see Wang Song in charge of such a strong army in Lianghe, no wonder Wang Song was in the army, and never talked about the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army.
I don't know if this is the case, for the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, for the imperial court, it is a blessing or a curse.
"Brothers, the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army under the Xuanfu Division has become an army today, everyone sits down to listen to the Xuan, this official has played the Ming court and His Majesty, and it will be officially canonized today."
In the lobby of the Chinese army, Wang Song shouted loudly. The generals below stood solemnly together and raised their heads to look at Wang Song.
Everyone in the room is full of emotions and expectations at the moment. Before the army set out, although the commanders of the various armies had been leading the troops for a long time, they had never been formally appointed.
Ma Kuo stepped forward and read aloud: "The appointment of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army is as follows. Ma Kuo is the staff officer of the Xuanfu Division, Chen Dong is the senator of the Xuanfu Department, Ouyang Che is the writing machine Yiwen, Wang Lun is the deputy envoy of Yingtian and the envoy of the salt system, and Wang Dajie is the public office officer......"
"Thank you to the official, thank you to the minister!"
A group of staff members stepped forward together and bowed to him.
"Zhang Xian is hereby appointed as the commander of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, and he is in charge of all military affairs, and all the generals are under control."
"The last general has commanded, thank you Xianggong!"
Zhang Xian's face was serious, he bowed down to receive the order, and retreated to the side.
He spent his days in Tokyo like a year, depressed, restrained by civil servants, and intrigued between colleagues, and now he can finally fight on the battlefield again, and his mood is inexplicably comfortable.
Ma Kuo continued to say loudly: "Zhang Heng was appointed as the deputy commander of the Xuanfu Division and the commander of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, with 5,000 people under his jurisdiction; Dong Ping was the deputy commander of the Xuanfu Division and the commander of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, with 3,000 people under his jurisdiction. ”
Dong Ping and Zhang Heng stepped forward together and bowed solemnly: "The last general has taken the order, thank you Xianggong!"
Wang Song nodded slightly, and Ma Kuo continued to read aloud:
"Yang Jin is the former military commander, with 3,000 people under his jurisdiction;
Niu Gao was under the command of the Right Army, with 3,000 men;
Wang Yan was under the command of the Left Army, with 3,000 men;
Yelu was under the command of the rear army, with 3,000 men;
Xu Hu was under the command of the cavalry of the Guerrilla Army, with 1,000 men under his jurisdiction;
Li Xiaochun is the commander of the artillery battalion, with 1,000 people under his jurisdiction;
Zhai Er is under the command of the baggage battalion, with 5,000 people under its jurisdiction;
In addition, Yang Zaixing is under the command of the pro-army of the Xuanfu Division, with 3,000 people under his jurisdiction. The total number of troops is 30,000. 3,000 people stayed in the camp of Licheng, and another 5,000 new troops guarded Longde Mansion to consolidate the rear, all of which were led by Deng Shixiong, contacting the capital, recruiting troops and horses, pacifying the people, and pacifying the Quartet. Everyone performs his own duties, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise military justice will serve and severe punishment will not be awarded!"
Everyone listened to the order solemnly, and each knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you for your love!"
Wang Song nodded, his eyes turned to Zhai Er, seeing that he was sincerely afraid, he couldn't help but smile: "Second Brother Zhai, you are bold and careful, and you value love and righteousness, you don't need to be restrained, as long as you do your duty well and abide by the military regulations in the army, it will be a great achievement!"
Zhai Er's heart was hot, he knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The villain is willing to follow Xianggong, do his best, and die!"
Wang Song laughed, motioned for Zhai Er to come up, and said loudly: "Everyone is a brother in life and death, as long as you are dedicated to killing the enemy and serving the country loyally, you don't pay so much attention!"
He turned his head and said loudly: "Brothers, in my Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, you are all brothers in life and death of your own officials, sharing blessings and hardships. Rest assured, brothers, as long as the brothers make more military exploits, your glory and wealth, your wife and son, will be wrapped up in this official. Everything in this army depends on your brothers. ”
Wang Song bowed, and all the generals replied: "The subordinates will never be disappointed!"
Dong Ping clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Don't worry, we are all pawns of Xianggong, only Xianggong is the first to look forward, no matter what, there will be no defeat to Xianggong!"
Niu Gao also shouted loudly: "Xianggong, Brother Dong is right, the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army is not Hebei, everything is decided by Xianggong, whoever wants to disobey, my old cow will not tolerate him!"
Wang Song was slightly moved, and sighed: "Thank you brothers below!"
