Zhang Dai of Yinhai Commercial Bank was very depressed, and now Xiao Yao was also very depressed: what infantry captain, what commander of a thousand soldiers and horses, it sounds good, but when I went to the barracks, I found that the entire forward battalion, the establishment of 5,000 people, has only now recruited less than 3,000 soldiers!

Didn't you say that the Northern Expedition of 100,000 troops? According to this ratio, isn't it only 60,000 people who have been recruited? When will we be able to gather enough 100,000 men to go on the Northern Expedition?

"General Cheng, where are my 1,000 soldiers and horses? Don't tell me you're still drafting! Xiao Yao squinted at Lu Guangda, not caring at all that he was his top boss.

"Shiro, don't worry, your 1,000 men and horses are on the way, the vanguard of our front army is the first to rush to the front, the first to fight the enemy, all soldiers must be the elite of the elite! The 3,000 recruits now are only a part of our forward battalion, as well as the elite troops recruited from the East and West Route Armies! And your 1,000 men and horses are the elite drawn from the infantry battalions of these two route armies! Cheng Wenji must not have paid attention to Xiao Yao's attitude, and explained with a smile.

"Pull? Does that mean my troops are improvised patchwork? Xiao Yao was even more speechless.

"What a makeshift patchwork, to put it so ugly, these elites are battle-hardened veterans who have seen blood! Killed! It's not like those recruits can compare, you take this team, and it's too late for others to envy you! Cheng Wenji sneered.

"It turned out to be other people's soldiers, I was used to listening to other people's commands, and now I am here again, I am not familiar with them, they are not familiar with me, it is easy to have contradictions, it is better to give me a thousand recruits directly, and I will train myself!" Xiao Yao was still a little dissatisfied.

"We know your training ability, but this is also the meaning of the high-level, a group of well-trained veterans, following you, the old and cunning leader, will definitely be able to exert the strongest combat effectiveness! And with your ability, you can subdue them by showing your hands casually! Cheng Wenji's eyes were a little dodgy, and his speech was a little suggestive.

"Submit them? What do you mean, do they dare not listen to my orders! Xiao Yao also heard that there was something in his words.

"Hehe, I know that your fire dragon battalion is powerful, and I also see that you will become a general in the future, so the elite of this transfer is led by Huang Wenyuan, the son of General Huang, and Zhang Dabao, the son of Zhang Zhaoda, the general of the chariot cavalry, respectively. Cheng Wenji smiled awkwardly.

"Aren't you intent on harming me! They are all the second generation of officials, and they also say that they have unruly personalities, and now let me be their boss with a young and humble background, how can they obey! With men who don't obey orders, it's dangerous! "Xiao Yao broke out!

"Don't talk so badly! You haven't seen them yet, maybe they are from a family, well-educated, well-read, and kind。。。。。。 Seeing that Xiao Yao was still full of suspicion, Cheng Wenji couldn't make it up anymore and decided to dump the pot!

"Anyway, the order has come down, and they are also on their way, if you have any opinions, go to General Wu! I don't care about that, I just ask that when you go out on the war, you must govern them well, and don't give me trouble when you fight! After saying that, Cheng Wenji turned around and went out, leaving Xiao Yao alone to scold the darkness of officialdom and nepotism!

In the end, Xiao Moke still had to persuade Xiao Yao in person: "Shiro, don't be angry, let the sons of the two generals be your deputy, it's also for your sake, didn't you say that you have a bad background, and you're afraid that you won't be able to convince the public, if their children from noble families listen to you, do others dare not listen?" ”

"Father-in-law, I'm not angry, and I'm not afraid! If they dare to disobey orders, I have a way to subdue them! I'm just afraid that these two generals will feel distressed when they find out! "What are you kidding, in this world, Xiao Yao has never been afraid of anything.

"That's good! Soldiers must obey orders! I believe that the two generals will also warn them, if they really dare not listen to you at that time, then you will be dealt with according to military law! No one else dares to have an opinion! Xiao Moke expressed his support.

"That's good, father-in-law, you also know that my training methods are different from yours, don't criticize my training when the time comes!" Xiao Yao sneered.

"Okay, I'll talk to a few generals first, and you can rest assured that you can take your soldiers! Also, your eldest brother was appointed a cavalry captain and was also transferred to the forward battalion! When the time comes, you two brothers will be able to fight side by side, haha! Xiao Moke said excitedly.

"Big brother is also coming to the forward battalion? When did the forward battalion become so sought-after, why did everyone stuff their sons here? After speaking, seeing Xiao Moke's face change, Xiao Yao immediately smiled and explained, "Father-in-law, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I just want to say that the forward battalion is the vanguard of the army, often going deep alone, and it is the most dangerous unit。。。。。。 ”

Before Xiao Yao could finish speaking, he was slapped on the head by Xiao Moke: "What nonsense!" You think everyone is like you, and you think you can get in when you say it! Moreover, as the sons of General Chen Guo, they have to take the lead, go to the most dangerous places, and set an example for the whole army! ”

Xiao Yao touched his head, looked at Xiao Moke with resentment and said, "Yes, yes, you are all heroes who are selfless and loyal to the country!" However, according to what my father-in-law just said, since the forward battalion is so difficult to enter, how did the eldest brother transfer in, could it be that you went through the back door? So Xiao Yao's head was swollen in several places!

。。。。。。

In Huangfu, Huang Wenyuan, who was only 18 years old, looked at his father Huang Faqu with disdain, and said contemptuously: "Why did my father ask me to be a deputy for a 16-year-old boy who has not dried up?" And I went to the forward battalion of the Middle Route Army, because I was afraid that the Western Route Army would not be able to control me? ”

Huang Faqu is also completely helpless against this little son, relying on his grandmother's love, he likes to go against himself since he was a child, and when he grows up, he relies on himself to be a little smart, often self-righteous and domineering!

"Hmph, you're not a stinky kid yourself! Don't you often boast that you are a genius boy and look down on us old guys? Now I'll show you what a real genius boy is! Anyway, the order has come down, and you are already his subordinate, so he will take care of you in the future! Huang Faqu smiled proudly.

。。。。。。

On the way back to health for Wu Xing, a team of more than 500 people was on the way, led by the young leader who was 24-year-old Zhang Dabao!

"I really don't understand why General Xu wants to transfer Gongzi back to Jinling, instead of going to Lingnan to assist the old general in quelling the rebellion!" Zhang Dabao's deputy, Yang Tong, complained.

"My father wrote to me earlier that the Lingnan Rebellion is already in hand! The defeat of the rebels is also a matter of the past few days, so I don't have to rush there. Brother Xu is my father's old subordinate and a close friend who has forgotten his years, and this time he must have his plans to transfer me back to Jinling with my brothers! Let the brothers speed up again, and when I return to Jinling, I will invite the brothers to drink! ”
