Chapter Eighty-Seven: Garrison Battalion

This honor is really amazing, because not all the mothers or wives of civil and military generals can get the imperial court's edict, which is a gift from the Holy Son of Heaven, and the proportion is extremely low.

From now on, Huang Han's mother is a court wife, and she has a salary every year and preferential treatment, which can fully catch up with the benefits obtained by the sergeant doctor.

Huang Han also had the rank of military attache from the third grade, the rank of captain of the light car, and the rank of general Huaiyuan, and finally entered the threshold of the general.

Dong Shengwei is actually long gone, the glory of the beginning has existed in name only, Dong Shengwei is the early Ming Dynasty set up in the Hetao North Tumut Mongolian activity area of the guard, originally the Yuan of the East Shengzhou. It was set up at the beginning of the first month of the fourth year of Hongwu, and moved to the vicinity of Datong in July of the fifth year of Hongwu.

Zhu Di, who ascended to the throne in the 35th year of Hongwu through the "Battle of Jingyan", adjusted his military strategy and moved a number of border guards outside the walls and border guards inside, and the left guard of the middle victory was moved to the border of Lulong County in the north of Zhili, and the right guard was moved to the border of Zunhua County.

Huang Han got his wish and became the general of the Yongping garrison, and he had the title of commander of the Dongsheng Left Guard, so it should not be a problem to find a way to get some military land from the already peasant guards officers.

At the end of the ceremony, just as the emperor was about to return to the Forbidden City, Huang Han said loudly: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grace and gratitude to the ministers are gone, and only by making new contributions has been repaid by the favor of the Holy Son of Heaven, the ministers of the micro-ministers asked to leave the capital on the same day and continue to look for fighters to attack and kill Jiannu." I beg your Majesty's permission. ”

Chongzhen was a little moved when he heard that Huang Han was not going to be in the capital and wanted to go back immediately to kill the enemy, he said: "I am accurate, Aiqing must also be cautious, I am waiting for Aiqing to report again!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen! Weichen asked for an order to gather the Ming army that had been scattered outside the Beijing division to gather enough troops for the Yongping garrison battalion, and begged the Holy Son of Heaven for permission. ”

The Yongping garrison camp has been knocked out by Jiannu, and the territory is also in the hands of Jiannu, and the garrison of Huang Han, a new official, has no territory and no soldiers, which is indeed a big problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Huang Han avoided having to quarrel with the Ministry of War and directly learned from Liu Zhilun to recruit troops by himself, and he went straight to the heavens, which provoked other civilian and military generals to slander him again.

And the young and vigorous emperor likes to solve the problem in person, and when he sees Huang Han's request, it is not difficult to do, of course, he happily gives an answer on the spot.

He already liked Huang Han, a military general who seemed to have no scheming and was bent on killing the enemy, not only agreed to Huang Han's selection of soldiers among the stragglers near the Beijing Division, but also instructed the household department to allocate food and salary to this army that dared to fight according to the number of soldiers.

Of course, Li Biao, the secretary of the household department, would not add to the blockage when the emperor was rarely happy, and said that he would give the food and salary in full, and he would give it for three months this afternoon, so that Huang Shoubei would have money and food to recruit troops.

In the afternoon of the same day, Huang Han went out of the city and set up camp, and he divided his men and horses into seven general flags and hyped them outside the city.

Soon, the news spread that the hot Huang garrison promised to pay full pay and recruit good soldiers on time.

The news that Huang Han was ready to select cavalry skilled in archers and horses and brave infantry to join the "Red Banner Army" made many Ming soldiers excited.

Jinyiwei was also happy to help, and Li Ruolian personally took dozens of captains to several Ming military camps to help coordinate.

There is no general who is skilled in cavalry with bows and horses that he does not like, and Huang Hanlai's insertion of a pole is bound to cause resistance.

Only with strong cavalry can you have mobility, and it is possible to complete the attack.

The battle between the Han people and the steppe peoples was that the Han people suffered heavy losses, and the reason was that the Han people did not have strong cavalry, and winning the enemy was just to repel them, and being defeated by the steppe people was the annihilation of the whole army.

It is impossible to train a peasant who has never ridden a horse to become a skilled cavalryman without three or five years of hard training.

Now that there is the emperor's will and the Son of Heaven's own army to negotiate, Huang Han must of course make full use of this great opportunity to strive to recruit some cavalry with high force value under his command.

Although those generals who suffered defeat thought that their rank was higher than that of Xiao Xiaowei's commander, they were popular generals who had made many meritorious contributions, so it was best not to make any discordant moves at this time, and pinch their noses one by one to let the "Red Flag Army" come to the camp to select people.

Fortunately, the "Red Banner Army" has high eyes, the soldiers don't want to be ruffians, and the slippery people will not be accepted even if they are skilled in bows and horses, although there are several thousand Ming troops who took the initiative to sign up for the selection, but in the end Huang Han only accepted 300 cavalry and 700 infantry.

Huang Han still spoke with facts, and used real money and food to explain his attitude towards Paoze, and he immediately asked Zheng Xiaowen to pay three months' full salary after registering the name and place of origin of the Ming army he accepted.

The household department did pay the food according to the number of 1,360 soldiers, and it was issued according to the three cavalry and seven infantry, but Huang Han understood the rules of the Ming officialdom, and did not dare to take the full amount, but only dared to take seventy percent.

Huang Han got the money and food from the household department, and it was not enough for him to go in and out, so he had to take out some seized silver to Zheng Xiaowen to make up for the shortfall caused by the grain and salary of the newly joined Ming army of 1,000 according to the actual distribution.

These 1,000 men and horses are veterans of the Ming army, but at this time they are recruits of the "Red Banner Army", they do not get the treatment of their families for the time being, and the same treatment as the soldiers of the camp in the Guannei, in order to give them convenience, Zheng Xiaowen promised that all the Ming troops can freely choose to take their true colors and fold colors.

Jiucheng Mingjun's family is not nearby, they chose to take the folded color, when the white flowers of three or five taels of silver arrived, everyone's spirits were lifted.

These people were originally three or four hundred soldiers of the "Red Banner Army", carefully selected soldiers from the Ming army who had thousands of actual combat experience, and even the infantry could ride horses and were strong and strong.

But most of them have been in the army for several years, never knowing that their monthly salary will be so much.

Because they are not the general's family members, the military salary they get is already thankful for half of their hands and feet after being stripped of their salaries.

Huang Han personally led his family members to carry out propaganda, talked about the rights and obligations of the "Red Banner Army", and especially emphasized the military discipline of the "Red Banner Army", so that every big-headed soldier knew that the most important military discipline of the "Red Banner Army" was "starving to death and not robbing the common people."

The ordinary soldiers who are bitter and haha come from the common people, and the general will of course be recognized for asking everyone to care for the people, and the general also solemnly promises that the battalion soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" will be paid full salaries in the future, which means that every time the soldiers are paid, they can get the money that can support their families.

The battalion of the "Red Banner Army" was full of laughter and laughter, and the well-fed and well-fed battalion soldiers gathered around the Jiading soldiers in groups of three or five to listen to them tell the story of the surprise attack on Zunhua, and learned that the soldiers who participated in the attack on Zunhua each took at least 40 taels of snowflake silver and stuffed it into their pockets, and their eyes were red.

Damn, it turns out that selling your life to Huang Shoubei is so valuable! It seems that it is really possible to follow this brave and good fighting adult to be promoted and make a fortune and change the court!
