Chapter 546: Luoyang
During this time, the Liukou of Beizhili were basically exterminated, and Sun Liuzhuang was closer to the capital, with Houjiazhuang in front of him, and the "Red Flag Army" to work for relief, and there were fewer and fewer displaced people who could accept it during this time.
Next year's transportation will be by water as much as possible, and Sun Liuzhuang is no longer very important here, so only a small flag soldier and a general flag guard army will be left behind.
In charge is Shen Sixiao, a cavalry officer with the rank of warrior, and they will also train no less than two hundred general township warriors, which are also under the command of a three-person regiment formed by Ma Fulin, Gu Rushan, and He Shouxin stationed in Houjiazhuang.
The "Sifang Money Village" in charge of Jin Feng in the "Zhongyi Fort" has been opened, and the "Red Flag Grain Store" managed by her is also in business.
The wages and food paid to the laborers on the construction site were all received by the young cadets at the money village and grain store by virtue of the formalities, and the money and grain exchange in this base area in the future was naturally the responsibility of this loyal big girl.
There is also Pei Daneng's Henan Military Intelligence Department Intelligence Station in the "Zhongyi Fort", which has soldiers, horses, money, food, and intelligence sources, and should be able to defend and manage this area well.
The "Red Banner Army" marched south with 20,000 men and horses, carrying nearly 20,000 stone of grain, horse feed, and a large amount of sea fish, pork, and canned chicken.
It is not that the "Red Flag Army" is worried that it will be hungry and carries so much food, and that the food that has been snatched along the way can feed the "Red Flag Army", but that it can foresee how difficult it will be for the people who have been broken in the cold winter.
In the past two years, duck blood vermicelli and roast duck have sold well, not only the duck industry has been developed in large numbers in the system, but also the people who raise ducks in Shuntianfu, Yongping Mansion, Zhending Mansion and other northern Zhili prefectures.
The winter jackets of the "Red Banner Army" have been filled with duck down, which is enough to meet the possibility of frostbite and attrition in the field battle with the Tartars outside the Cypriot Fortress in December, and the possibility of frostbite and attrition in the Henan operation does not exist at all, and the temperature here is more than ten degrees higher than that outside the Cypriot Island.
Due to the focus on accepting Huijiazi with riding expertise to serve in the army, there were five general cavalry in the 5,000 guards army, three of which always used hot weapons with self-generated guns, and two always used cold weapons.
The cavalry needs to send people to stay in Houjiazhuang to make up for the vacancy, and now the guard army trainee cavalry has been selected to expand a general.
The cavalry dispatched had five general company officers of 1,800 men, plus the cavalry of the guard army, which was already capable of actual combat training, and the number of cavalry reached 3,600 when it was used intensively.
All Cold Weapon Cavalry have iron arm hands, shoulder pads, knee pads, helmets with steel visors, and all-steel cuirass, and on freezing days, Cold Weapon Cavalry will wear a piece of cotton armor underneath.
Such equipment is a big advantage when it is hedged against Jiannu, and the impact of the rogue team will definitely be a tiger into the flock.
The hot weapon cavalry is still an all-steel helmet with cotton cloth and cotton armor to achieve the effect of warmth, wearing cotton armor, such protection is not a long-range weapon is pitiful, and the rogue who has no artillery equipment at all can kill on a large scale.
Chongzhen's rogue thirteen years ago was basically beaten everywhere by the official army, and even if they obtained the Fulong machine cannon and Hongyi cannon when attacking the prefecture capital county, they had to discard it.
Not only because of the lack of gunners, but also because the rogues could only survive by constantly wandering, and they really had no ability to transport heavy artillery to fight guerrillas.
Huang Han knew that the Liukou basically did not have heavy weapons, so they did not carry a large number of artillery with them, and the largest number in the army was the one-pound Furlong cannon that fired scattered bullets at an effective distance of 200 paces, and only three six-pound and nine three-pound all-steel Hongyi cannons with an effective range of two miles.
Zhang Fengyi now has more than 1,800 people, and she has finally recovered from the bloody battle of Houjiazhuang and has a certain strength.
During this time, she received Huang Han's courtesy, all military supplies and food were provided by Huang Han, and the treatment was the same as that of the "Red Flag Army", and she also received food and salary in the "Sifang Qianzhuang" and "Red Flag Grain Store".
The 1,800 Sichuan babies and Sichuan girls have never dressed so energetically, and they have never had three meals a day, and they often have meat treatment, and they all feel blessed by misfortune.
At the very least, the surviving white pole soldiers after the bloody battle were army commanders, and the vast majority of the soldiers were the scattered Sichuan troops who were contained.
Now this newly formed white pole army is not willing to fight with anyone at all, they recognize the Marquis of Dongping, and they desperately want to follow the "Red Banner Army" to fight.
Between the heavy losses of Zhang Fengyi's men and horses, the report sent to Xuan Mo, the governor of Henan, and the military department at that time to control this group of people told the truth that after the bloody battle of Houjiazhuang, the white pole soldiers suffered all casualties, and only less than 200 people could fight again.
Two hundred people are only a drop in the bucket, and nothing is done, so this passer-by is forgotten.
It's just that because the "Red Banner Army" has professional medical personnel and a field hospital with the army, the level of treatment for external injuries is increasing day by day.
After being wounded, the white pole soldiers who died due to bacterial infection were only about one percent, and more than 300 white pole soldiers miraculously recovered from their injuries and returned to the team, and then they collected more than 1,200 of Deng Xi's defeated soldiers, and the newly formed white pole soldiers developed to 1,800.
Due to the strong logistical support provided by the "Red Banner Army," Zhang Fengyi's existing personnel and horses have soared in discipline and combat effectiveness under the strict training of more than 500 veterans who have escaped from the vicious battle.
The vast majority of the existing soldiers are veterans who have served for more than three years, and more than 300 of them have returned from bloody battles, and their loyalty and cohesion are completely different, and I am afraid that the overall combat effectiveness of these 1,800 people is even better than that of the more than 2,000 white-pole soldiers before the bloody battle in Houjiazhuang.
There was no mention of this white-pole soldier in the emperor's holy decree, and it is possible that neither the military department nor the emperor knew that Zhang Fengyi's men and horses were ready to fight.
Huang Han's original intention was to let Zhang Fengyi be forgotten by everyone, so he was stationed in Houjiazhuang for development, after all, there are many homeless and homeless people sent here, and they can leave young adults with Sichuan accents to expand the team.
However, Zhang Fengyi refused to stay out of the matter when the court hired people, and she tried her best to follow the "Red Flag Army" action.
Qin Yanyi has been happily with her sister-in-law day and night for more than half a year, of course she likes her sister-in-law to fight side by side with her, and she also asks Huang Han to bring this white pole soldier.
Huang Han had no intention of swallowing Zhang Fengyi's men, but if this development continued, more than eighty percent of these white pole soldiers recognized the "Red Flag Army".
They have been respected, they have broadened their horizons after participating in the class, and they have enjoyed the full amount of military salaries paid on time, I am afraid that Qin Liangyu will come in person in the future, and these horses will not be easy to bring.
The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and most people will pursue a better life, after all, the Qin family and the Ma family have limited money and food, and it is impossible to pay salaries and equipment like Huang Han.
