Chapter 220: Stepping on Qingcheng
Huang Yizhou, the head of the old family, knew that it was particularly important to train the army and money, and he now lived in Kaiping, and basically did not ask about the internal affairs of the "Red Banner Army" that had moved his headquarters to the "Tiger's Den" city, because he had to take care of the large amount of industry that his son had invested in Kaiping.
Huang Yizhou knew that the soaring of the Huang family was entirely the result of his son's operation, and that his son's assertive use of troops had always taken advantage of this and did not suffer losses, and he was not prepared to point fingers and interfere too much in the internal affairs of the "Red Banner Army".
He thought that it should be difficult for him to encounter war when he was stationed in Kaiping Town, so he handed over most of the veterans under his command to his son to lead him, and he organized thousands of people to retrain in Kaiping again.
Huang Yizhou appointed such people as Huang Jusheng, Yang Dacheng, Huang Yuesheng, Yang Fengxi, and so on, and appointed Yang Hanwei, an officer of a thousand households who had participated in almost every battle of the "Red Banner Army," as his deputy, leaving more than a dozen veterans as middle- and lower-level officials.
Most of the personnel of the newly formed Luanzhou garrison battalion came from miscellaneous servants who guarded the mines, armed with the original guards of each household, and an organization similar to a security regiment that maintained the law and order of the Kaiping territory.
Huang Yizhou trained this team of thousands of people not only to deal with the imperial court inspection, their combat effectiveness is really improving, and it is not a problem to deal with bandits and rogues.
Give Huang Yizhou another year, and his team's combat effectiveness ranking should be second to none among all garrison forces.
The military operations of the "Red Banner Army" are classified as first-class secrets, and ordinary non-commissioned officers cannot know about them in advance, and it is even more impossible for them to know about them for military service.
However, the "Red Banner Army" knew that the head of the family was ready to go out to take revenge on the Tartars and Jiannu, and recapture a part of the captive Ming population.
Although they did not know whether the "Red Banner Army" was preparing to go out of Shanhaiguan to Liaodong to compete with Jiannu through the Liaoxi Corridor, or whether they were going out of Longjing Pass, Daankou and other Great Wall passes to fight the Mongol Tatars, they all saw hope without exception.
Because these people have relatives, they have been coerced by the Houjin Army, and their lives and deaths are still unknown, and some of them even have only themselves left alone in the "Red Banner Army" to survive.
The reason why these bitter and vengeful men are desperately following the "Red Flag Army" is because this is a strong army that dares to go head-to-head with the Houjin Army.
They look forward to the day when they will become soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" and go to Liaodong, and they look forward to reuniting with their relatives who are haunted by their dreams.
Although it seems very slim, people have not given up hope.
The military service knew the exact news that the "Red Banner Army" sortie was about to be carried out, and the goal was to go out of the customs to kill the Jiannu and the Tartars to regain the population.
No matter where the "Red Banner Army" went, they cried and shouted that they wanted to follow, because they didn't know where their relatives might be, and who could say for sure whether they were in Liaodong or in the vast prairie.
It was impossible to bring all the military labor, Hanzi and Song Pengfei selected 1,000 people who were physically strong or had high force value from the more than 2,000 people who had participated in the training camp for at least half a year, pushed 500 wheelbarrows to follow the team, and issued them with two cotton armors to keep out the cold and increase their protection.
These people who originally didn't know martial arts have been trained for a few months with ash pole spears and spikes, and those who have martial arts can bring the weapons they are used to using in addition to equipping ash pole spears, although there are all kinds of weapons, but as long as they can improve their combat effectiveness, it will not hurt.
Now these thousand laborers are full of excitement, as if they can see their lost relatives after beating Jiannu or Tartar after leaving the customs, in fact, the probability of such a may be only one percent or even only one in a thousand.
Most of the laborers knew this ratio, but no one wanted to say it, they were talking about the spear in their hands, the two layers of cotton armor on their bodies, and the fact that they would never leave their relatives to run into the dense forest in the ravine when they encountered the Jiannu and the Tartars, and they must form a formation and work together to pierce the enemy.
A thousand laborers encouraged each other, reminding each other that they would rather die than turn around and run away, and that they should form a formation and hold their spears to kill the Tartars and Jiannu, and only by defeating the enemy can they get the chance to regain their relatives.
Even the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" needless to say more, and the young men of more than 200 or fifteen or fifteen years old are even newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and one by one they are screaming to experiment with the bird guns that they practice every day.
Early in the morning of the fourth day of November, the chief general Huang Han arrived as scheduled, and the 3,400 heroes of the "Red Banner Army" assembled in Da'ankou Pass cheered and thundered.
Liu Zhilun, who followed, was so excited that he burst into tears, he saw with his own eyes that there were hundreds of children in the "Red Flag Army", and Huang Han should have done his best to use these people.
Liu Zhilun was full of emotion, such a loyal minister and good general who does not care about personal gains and losses for the sake of national interests and does not care about personal losses is a model for my generation.
The official who sent the "Red Banner Army" away immediately went to the court to complain about the heroes, and also told the Son of Heaven that the "Red Banner Army" had done its best, and they even brought their children to the battlefield, and the imperial court must give these loyal soldiers a good home.
Huang Han rode his horse to inspect the heroes who were about to leave the customs, he pointed to the north and said loudly: "Three hundred miles ahead is the location of several tribes of Karaqin, Tatars, Burgadu, Zhuoerbi, and other large and small Taiji tribes who led the way for Jiannu to sneak attack Da'ankou.
There is a city called Qingcheng run by the Karaqin Tatars, there should be thousands of Han people enslaved by them, and now these compatriots are humiliated by the Tatars every day, life is better than death, what should my generation of soldiers do? ”
"Kill out of Guancheng, kill all the Tartars, and recapture the Han people in Qingcheng? Kill, kill, kill! ”
"Rescue your compatriots, wash the grasslands with blood, and return blood for blood! Tiger Tiger Tiger! ”
Huang Han shouted: "Then what are we waiting for? All of them, with the official out of the customs to kill the enemy! ”
"Tiger Tiger Tiger!" The majestic roar shook the mountains, and the heroic Han ran to the grassland, so that the wolf clan in the north could see the ambition and pride of the Han nation!
The chariots and horses are Xiao Xiao, and the military songs of the heroes resounded in the sky!
Qingcheng of Karaqin Mongolia is located in the middle of the two cities of Chengde and Chifeng in later generations.
This era is completely different from later generations, the two cities of Chengde and Chifeng can not even see the shadow of the village now, but the Karaqin Qingcheng that disappeared in history is a relatively large Tartar settlement area within a radius of several hundred miles.
The so-called Qingcheng defense is not as good as the city of a lower county in Daming, and it is only equivalent to the land enclosure of the landlords in the interior of Daming to protect themselves.
The reason why Huang Han knows this place and knows the general location is because Jiannu garrisoned here for three days before entering the customs and it is recorded in the annals of history.
At that time, there were disagreements within Jiannu, and the two big Baylors of Daishan and Mang Gurtai did not agree that the Red Gangsters were carrying out military adventures, and they were worried that the men and horses would be blocked by the Ming Dynasty.
In the end, the red gangsters were strong against public opinion, the small Baylor of the Jiannu Shaozhuang faction, and the many Taiji of the Tartars supported it, and the robbers of the Houjin Army entered the Daming Pass in three ways.
