Chapter 914: Calling
Cao Bianjiao said: "The 'King of Han' has lofty ambitions, and there are already 7,000 soldiers who have crossed the ocean to the Americas, and it is said that more people will be sent in the future. ”
Huang Degong said with a yearning face: "I like to read the travelogues published in the 'Red Flag Daily' the most, and I have long been ready to take the initiative to sign up to participate in the development of the Americas. ”
Hu Dawei shook his head and said regretfully: "Alas! I can only think about it, I can't go, because I'm afraid that the water will be seasick, and if I drift at sea for more than 100 days, I guess I will die on the road. ”
"Hahaha! ......" several people laughed and leaned back......
In mid-October, a cavalry team of 5,000 men and horses rushed to the Chinese army camp, half of which came from Yulin Town, and half of them were the elite cavalry drawn from the Shanxi camp by Fang Liandong.
Wu Zimian, You Shiwei, You Shilu, Hou Shilu, Hou Gongji, Fierce Tiger and other generals actively responded to the call of the "Han King" and wanted to participate in the Pingliao War for a long time.
However, because it was necessary to ensure that the grains in the tuntian were returned to the warehouse, they waited until the autumn harvest was completed.
When they arrived, they learned that the general battle had not yet begun, and that the "Red Banner Army" needed as many cavalry as possible, and everyone was elated.
You Shiwei, Hou Shilu and others came to make meritorious contributions and did not hide their secrets.
The vast majority of the 2,500 cavalry were carefully selected Yulin men, all of whom were veterans skilled in archers and horses, with a tenacious style and a fierce fighting style that was not afraid of death.
Wu Zimian and Huang Han have fought side by side for a few months, and now they take the initiative to vote, Huang Han is of course courteous, and on the same day, he set up a banquet for Wu Zimian, fierce as a tiger, You Shiwei, etc., and invited Han Zhikuan, Hu Dawei, Huang Weizheng and other old friends to accompany him.
When the old people met, a few cups of "Yangchun Bai" went down, and Wu Zimian, Cao Bianjiao, and Huang Weizheng relaxed a lot.
They all knew that the fleet that had sailed to the Americas had returned safely, bringing back too many copper ingots, gold and silver, and a miracle cure for malaria.
Huang Han intended to talk about overseas scenery with these old Ming generals, and praised Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong after learning that they intended to participate in the development of the Americas.
He said on the spot that Pingliao would intensify the development of the Americas in the future, give priority to promoting the generals who took the initiative to participate in the development, and encourage the participation of Zhu Ming's royal family and nobles.
Strive to spend ten years immigrating fifty to one million, and then build an army of 100,000 horses in the Americas, with no less than 30,000 cavalry.
Cao Bianjiao was loyal and righteous, participated in the defeat and capture of the Battle of Songshan in history, and was unwavering and generous in the case of Hong Chengchou being a traitor, which can be sung and cried.
He offered to join the "Red Flag Army" in the future, and he was eager to go to the Americas to expand his territory, and Huang Han was sincerely happy.
Huang Han took advantage of the wine and said: "Generals, the world is so big, the enemy is everywhere, and the sword and gun are in Kuma and put in Nanshan, which is self-defeating martial arts."
After pacifying Liaodong and exterminating the Liukou, the "Red Banner Army" will not only not be disarmed, but will also grow stronger again, and there are so many generals needed that opportunities are everywhere. ”
Obviously, the "King of Han" was reassuring the generals, and while promising to meet Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong's requirements to participate in the exploration of the Americas, he encouraged others to look at the world.
Cao Bianjiao stood up and clasped his fists and saluted: "The end of the 'Han King' will waste half of his life and achieve nothing, thank His Royal Highness for giving him the opportunity, the last general will not ask for high-ranking officials, even if he is the president of Bai, he will never complain!" ”
It is obvious that the outspoken Cao Bianjiao is tempting, wanting to know what level he can get after joining the "Red Flag Army".
The former Ming generals present were also concerned about this issue, and immediately put down their wine glasses and listened.
Huang Han said with a smile: "Rest assured, generals, you are still in the treatment of the 'Red Banner Army' in the Ming Dynasty, and the actual award of the first battalion master will not be able to do so for the time being without an inch of merit, and you can actually award the commander of the thousand general, deputy thousand general, and thousand general level." ”
Hu Dawei said: "The 'Han King' is full of talents, and we are already very satisfied to be able to teach thousands of presidents just after joining, and the general decisive battle is about to start, and we will definitely strive for meritorious service to be promoted." ”
Wu Zimian, fierce as a tiger, Han Zhikuan, Hou Shilu, You Shiwei and other generals all stood up and saluted:
"The last general Xie 'Han Wang' cultivates!"
Huang Han looked at everyone and knew that Cao Bianjiao, Hu Dawei, Fierce as a Tiger, Huang Degong, You Shiwei, Zuo Guangxian and so on should be the only remaining famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty.
Among these people, there are no traitors and no scum who surrendered to the rogues, and their endings in real history were unsatisfactory, or they died under the sword of Jiannu or were killed by the rogues, as if only Huang Degong died of illness.
You Shiwei, Hou Shilu and other generals have an extraordinary appeal in their hometowns, and now they are willing to start with thousands in the "Red Flag Army", and they should have made a lot of money.
"Generals, please be seated!" The Red Banner Army's rewards and punishments are clear, and the town officials at all levels will record the merits of all the soldiers participating in the battle in detail, and ensure that they are basically accurate.
Rest assured! It is gold that always shines in the collective of the 'Red Banner Army'. With your abilities, the title of prince is just around the corner! ”
Huang Han's words are actually a bit out of place, and he promised to be a prince and a marquis, and he absolutely transgressed.
However, Wu Zimian, Fierce as a Tiger, You Shiwei, Huang Weizheng and other generals did not say anything, but were excited.
They are all experienced in a hundred battles, have confidence in themselves, and think that as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely not lag behind others in killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and they will definitely have a bright future in the future.
Huang Han solved the problem on the spot, and the number of 2,500 Yulin cavalry plus Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Guangxian and others was about 3,000.
In addition, more than 2,000 cavalry members of the "Red Banner Army" were added, mainly Mongolian light cavalry who had been turned into regular cavalry, plus more than 100 instructors and grass-roots officers, and five cavalry commanders were formed and handed over to the generals headed by Cao Bianjiao, Fierce as a Tiger, and Hu Dawei.
Emphasizing that the family model does not work in the "Red Banner Army", their family members will be broken up and rearranged according to their ability and combat effectiveness, and those who are illiterate can become army commanders and small flag officers, and those who have both civil and military skills will become grassroots officers.
Everyone knows that the cavalry regiment of the "Red Banner Army" is temporary, and it is composed of 1,000 cavalry commanders and generals of each battalion, and they know that there are no private soldiers in the "Red Banner Army" and that there is also the possibility of the children of the clan becoming officers.
Cao Bianjiao, Wu Zimian, Huang Degong, Han Zhikuan, etc. have been given the actual instruction of the general manager, deputy general manager, and general manager of Qian, and the general manager to increase the number of people and horses, and they are more confident.
They were in a good mood, they were no longer anxious, everyone drank heartily, and finally they were drunk and unconscious......
The "Red Banner Army" in the rising period paid attention to efficiency, and began to reorganize at noon the next day.
Cao Bianjiao, You Shiwei, Hou Shilu, Han Zhikuan and other more than a dozen generals have a total of more than 800 family members, half of whom have become Wu Chang and small flag officers, and more than 100 have become chief and deputy chief flag officers.
The "Red Flag Army" was treated well and had a bright future, and the family members did not have any resistance, and they were all happy to devote themselves to training.
