If the general military officer of the Ming Dynasty can mobilize multiple battalions like his arm, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of horses, and the imperial court is afraid that the tail will not be lost, so it intends to divide the power of each battalion.

Therefore, all the generals pay attention to building their own family team, rather than grinding with other generals to ask for assistance, it is better to take the family team directly to do it, Li Chengliang in history is said to have 3,000 ironclad family members, and even Nurhachi has been Li Chengliang's minion.

Therefore, Huang Han's efforts to cultivate ironclad warriors were very in line with the national conditions at that time, and it was not too abrupt.

In fact, raising a skilled iron horseman as a family member is too expensive to eat, and most of the general officers and generals are beyond their strength.

Although every general knows that the combat effectiveness of the Jiading team is the capital of his own life, the salary of the battalion soldiers who have been stripped of such a huge amount of money and food is also a drop in the bucket!

Huang Han wanted to build an iron army with unparalleled mobility, and he needed an incomparable amount of money and food, such as eating horses, training expenses, armor, weapons, military uniforms and military salaries, and raising an ironclad cavalry would cost an average of one hundred taels of silver per year.

1,000 pairs of iron horses, military salaries and horse material silver will cost 50,000 or 60,000 taels of snowflake silver a year, and how many taels of silver will be needed to calculate the value of 2,000 war horses, 1,000 iron armor, 1,000 cotton armor and other weapons and equipment? If the soldiers are not fed and meated, how can their physical strength be guaranteed?

There is no doubt that the Han people could not get on their horses and fight immediately, and they were herdsmen when they got off their horses, and the Han dynasty, which was mainly agricultural, wanted to build a strong army to support a huge gold-swallowing beast.

Without the benefits of the Jin army eating black and robbing gold and silver treasures after the fight, the problem of money and food will soon restrict the development of Huang Han, and after Jiannu retires, Huang Han will face the big problem of how to make money to support his family.

This time, the award of the meritorious soldiers stationed in Funing to the rank of knight is not as simple as a letter of appointment from the military subordinates, but a serious 800 holy decree that has passed through the celebrant and the celebrant to wear red.

The eunuch who took the risk to come to the enemy-occupied area to deliver the decree was called Fang Zhenghua, the Jinyi Weiti rode a general banner to escort the angels, and the chief flag officer with the rank of 100 households was Li Ruolian, a martial artist in the first year of Chongzhen.

Huang Weizheng and Funing's civil and military generals each have rewards, and there are more than a dozen officials who have been promoted to the next level, not only to keep the lives and property of Funing City, but also to increase the official and enter the knighthood, and the civil and military forces in the city are all celebrated.

Everyone united to invite the angel and the prince's army to stay for a few more days, because there were too many civil and military personnel preparing to feast them, and it was estimated that the low-level civil and military forces had already been lined up for ten days.

Unmoved, the angel asked to leave Funing early tomorrow morning, because he still had a holy decree to be issued in Jiulitai Village.

Of course, this holy decree was given to Huang Han, and Fang Zhenghua did not ask Huang Weizheng to send Huang Han to Funing to receive the decree, he insisted on rushing to the station of Huangyi Prefecture to deliver the decree.

This is not that Fang Zhenghua, a middle-level eunuch who has just been promoted to the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, is troublesome, but Cao Huachun'er instructed him to see with his own eyes why Huang Yizhou's father and son have repeatedly made meritorious achievements.

Seeing that the generals of the first battalion of Zuo Mancheng and the civil and military forces passed by in the will, only Xiao Xiaobai was canonized separately, and the angel had to personally rush to the remote mountain village of Jiulitai to issue the decree, Huang Weizheng was very strange.

In the end, it was at the dinner party that the captain of the Jinyi Guard, who spent money to dredge the guards, learned that Huang Han had been reduced to the emperor's heart, and he immediately decided to personally concentrate the small 1,000 cavalry in Funing City to accompany the angel to Jiulitai Village tomorrow to announce the decree.

Fang Zhenghua wanted to see the real state of the Huang family's father and son, and politely refused the request of Huang Weizheng, who was already a deputy general, to accompany him personally, and did not agree to the guerrilla general Han Zhi's soldiers to follow, he only asked Huang Weizheng to give him three family members who were familiar with the terrain as guides.

The angel was so stubborn, Funing Wenwu could only give up, and each gave large and small red envelopes to Fang Yihua and Li Ruolian Dozens of people went out of the West Gate.

The angel who rushed to Jiulitai Village in the wind and dust pounced, at this time Huang Han was not in Jiulitai Village at all, he was being chased and intercepted by the Houjin army, and he had to take advantage of the familiar terrain to play hide and seek with the enemy all over the mountains.

Huang Han's soul wore the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he set himself the goal of life to spare no effort to kill Jiannu and Tartar.

Now that the Houjin army has entered the customs, the Ming army actually has the right time, place and people, Huang Han doesn't care what other Ming troops think, he thinks that the opportunity is rare, and he must use the limited time to do his best to cut off a few more heads of the Houjin army.

Huang Han, who returned home again, was rich and wealthy, and he had fine iron armor that could equip 420 ironclad cavalry, more than 600 war horses, and more than 200 horses.

In addition to loading grain, gold and silver, cloth and silk, etc., 100 carriages and more than 500 war horses were loaded with 30 carts of Sugang, 2,000 catties of gunpowder, and 500 catties of lead.

With 30 more blacksmith masters, more than 200 strong laborers, and ready-made materials, the mask armor process that Huang Han needed was not complicated, and the blacksmiths made 300 pieces in three days.

With men and horses and equipment, Huang Han needs to hurry up, because it is almost February, counting on his fingers, the Houjin army will not be able to step on the pass for a few days, and he needs to hurry up to kill Jiannu and rob property.

Huang Han was only stationed in Jiulitai Village for five days to rest, because of his reputation, many descendants from all over the country took the initiative to ask to join the army, without exception, they had relatives in their families who died at the hands of the Houjin army, and these men wanted to avenge their relatives.

Today is not as good as in the past, Huangyizhou is already the actual commander, and he can have more than 300 people in a grand manner.

Huang Han thought that the military merit reward for seizing Zunhua should be rich, and with Liu Zhilun's character, he would inevitably ensure that he would be promoted to higher rank, and he was not too worried that due to the lack of troops, there were too many soldiers under his command to be impeached by the imperial history and the matter.

Huang Han now has a small amount of 100,000 taels of silver in hand, more than 1,000 stone of grain, and the righteousness of the imperial court, so it is completely feasible to recruit troops and buy horses.

There are one or two thousand hot-blooded men who are eager to join the army, although they can't be left behind, but select some men with military strength or strong body to join the army, even if the court will deduct food and salary, with their own financial and material resources, they can also let the soldiers who follow them get full food.

The old family members acted separately, and they selected 200 horseback riders from the villagers of Jiulitai, the descendants of dozens of nearby villages, and the more than 100 strong men who hated Jiannu brought from Zunhua to stay as soldiers.

It is still a selection principle of selecting the best of the best, and taking the path of elite soldiers, so the elimination rate is very high, close to one out of ten.

The 200 selected heroes had to be selected again by Huang Han, who asked the 200 recruits to demonstrate their riding skills on the spot.

After the competition, 100 recruits who won the riding skills were selected to join the cavalry team, and 100 people went up the mountain to Huangyizhou for training, and they would become infantry soldiers who could ride horses and maneuver.
