Chapter 105: Labor Army II

Although without further ado.

But when it comes to Zhang Xuan's life, Zhang Xuan does not dare to slack off.

Before he crossed the river, he had already sent Cao Zongyu's troops to the west, and transferred the men and horses of the Xudu headquarters. The two departments of people and horses will be high and one merit left and right, sandwiched together, forming a state of pinching and attacking. It may not be without the implication of startling the snake.

In short, although there was some uneasiness in the army of Gao Yigong, there was no big change.

Zhang Xuan then crossed the river to the west with more than 1,000 guards. Entered the camp of high school with great fanfare.

Without Zhang Xuan's prior arrangement, Qin Meng took over the camp gate. Although Qin Meng was demoted due to the previous defeat, he has not yet been promoted, and there are only five or six hundred people under his command, but he is Zhang Xuan's personal guard, which can be said to be a first-class elite.

Although there are only five hundred people, there is no problem in defending a retreat for Zhang Xuan.

Ma Sanbao took hundreds of soldiers to guard Zhang Xuan closely, and Gao Yigong was on Zhang Xuan's side, and there were only one or two followers by his side, which showed the sincerity of being a hostage. If something happens, Zhang Xuan's life and death are still unknown, but Gao Yigong's small fate plan is gone.

"General of the Great Xia Expedition to the South, Privy Deputy Envoy, Governor of the Military Affairs of the Seven Provinces, Zheng Guogong Proofreading the Whole Army."

"General of the Great Xia Expedition to the South, Privy Deputy Envoy, Governor of the Military Affairs of the Seven Provinces, Zheng Guogong Proofreading the Whole Army."

"General of the Great Xia Expedition to the South, Privy Deputy Envoy, Governor of the Military Affairs of the Seven Provinces, Zheng Guogong Proofreading the Whole Army."

On the school field in the middle of the camp, first a few guards around Zhang Xuan shouted, followed by five hundred guards around him shouting together, and then some soldiers guarding around them, shouting in unison, one higher than the other, maybe the sound was general.

Where the sound wave passed, all the sounds fell silent.

When the three shouts passed, there was silence in the camp, only the voice of the knowing was unwilling to be lonely, but the trees near the camp were all cut down, and the sound came from a little farther away, and it didn't feel like it was noise when it came here.

On the contrary, it feels like the background sound of the summer and autumn seasons.

Zhang Xuan was surrounded by the soldiers, and as far as the eye could see, the entire army of Gao Yigong was in full view.

There are about 30,000 people in the headquarters of Gao Yigong, but in front of Zhang Xuan are more than 10,000 elite people in the headquarters of Gao Yigong. After all, there is no edge when people pass 10,000. In the big camp of high school, such an open field is still relatively rare.

Zhang Xuan looked at the people of Gao Yigong's headquarters, and sighed slightly in his heart: "I spent so much energy to get such a strong army, and it is not in vain." ”

The high school is the only remaining descendant of the camp.

Since Li Zicheng was defeated, he has faced the dilemma of insufficient people to break into the camp. The rest of the people who broke into the camp were exhausted in the battles with the Qing army again and again, so that they could not suppress the former Ming army, and all the troops surrendered to the Qing court in formation.

And the descendants who retreated from Xi'an were bitten by Azig and pursued wave after wave, and when they arrived in Xiangyang, they were actually not as good as before, otherwise they would not have killed Liu Zongmin.

Only Gao Yigong is the one, which has moved from Yan'an to thousands of miles, and the big battles and small battles continue, and it still maintains considerable combat effectiveness.

Zhang Xuan is not only interested in Gao Yigong himself, but also this army that has experienced a hundred battles and can be of great use.

Zhang Xuan's subordinates were trained by Zhang Xuan one hand and one foot, and he understood better that it was not easy to want a capable army, and it was not easy to train from a recruit to an elite soldier, and this training cycle should be more than three years. Even on the battlefield, to fight and practice. It also takes at least a year of hard work to be called an elite soldier.

Zhang Xuan thought to himself that what he could compare with was only tens of thousands of horses in his headquarters. The rest of the newly surrendered soldiers, whether they were from the loyal battalion or from the Ming army, could not be compared.

These more than 10,000 soldiers, against the soldiers of the Eight Banners, may not be able to fall behind.

In Zhang Xuan's view, this is Li Zicheng's most precious legacy.

For the sake of this army, if he can integrate into the Great Xia Army, even if he takes a little risk, Zhang Xuan feels that it is worth it.

Zhang Xuan coughed lightly twice and said: "King Chuang raised troops for the people, and King Chuang and the first emperor raised troops together. Seek justice for the people of the world, break into the camp and fight side by side with Cao Ying, many of you have seen me Zhang, the previous rights and wrongs, and now I don't say much. In short, it is a great honor for me Zhang Xuan to come to vote. ”

If you want to recover these soldiers, King Chuang has to say, but he can't say more. Zhang Xuan simply brushed it off.

"I, Zhang, will never treat you brothers badly. Zheng Lian. ”

Zheng Lian said: "Yes." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Tell me about the treatment of your brothers. ”

Only then did Zheng Lian step forward and open a volume of documents and said: "Eighteen taels of salaries every year, clothes, weapons, food, and military preparations, no need for brothers to pay money." Generals at all levels are promoted step by step, and if they get a knighthood, they can also get a knighthood. If the brothers do not want to fight anymore and want to be disarmed and return to the field, the soldiers can be placed in the field on the spot, and the officers can be converted into local officials----。 ”

Zheng Lian said it 1510.

Zhang Xuan didn't open any back door to Gao Yigong's army, and the treatment they gave was all the treatment for Xia Jun.

However, Xia Jun's treatment is the same, and whether it can be fully implemented is another question.

After all, Xia Jun's current financial resources are tight, which has affected the military transformation. The treatment of many garrison troops is discounted compared to what Zheng Lian said.

When the soldiers below Gao Yigong heard this, many people showed joy on their faces.

This is friendly enough for ordinary soldiers.

For example, in Zhang Xuan's military regulations, the clothes and weapons of the soldiers are all supplied by the army. Many people think that this is normal, but in fact, it is not very normal in this era. At least the food expenses were deducted from the military salary during the Republic of China.

So generally speaking, the salary of eighteen taels a year, and the one that can really fall into the hands of the soldiers is only about eleven or twelve taels.

The soldiers were killed and lived, and they relied on eleven or twelve taels of silver to support their families.

This alone can be said to be a disguised salary increase for non-commissioned officers, not to mention the retirement grant, the officers can be turned into magistrates, and other measures have made many middle and low-level officers excited.

Many of the older officers were moved on the spot. It seems to be considering that Zhang Xuan's statement will work and will not work.

The sound of fine discussion buzzed out. For a while, it overwhelmed Zheng Lian's voice.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan nodded secretly in his heart.

This is what Zhang Xuan thought of defeating the imperial court, and he could only improve a set of military systems, so that the soldiers and generals had no worries, and the combat effectiveness they exerted was extraordinary. Perhaps the rules formulated by Zhang Xuan have not yet been implemented in the entire Great Xia.

But under Zhang Xuan's command, there was no problem.

This may be one of the reasons why Zhang Xuan's combat effectiveness is strong.

But no matter how much you say, it's just a blank check now.

After Zheng Lian asked Zhang Xuan, he immediately said: "Today, the general came to the labor army and decided to reward the three armies, each soldier was rewarded with one or two taels of silver, and the officers had their own rewards because of their status and qualifications, and each department stepped forward to receive the reward. ”

As soon as Zheng Lian said this, everyone became excited.

If it is said that among the armies in the world now, the poorest army, it is estimated that the first meritorious department of Gao is among them, and the Qing army has more than 60 million taels of silver, plus taxes from the north. It is a considerable amount of money, Xia Jun has the support of Jiangnan, although he is nervous, but the degree of use is indispensable.

Zhang Xianzhong is entrenched in Sichuan, although there is a bit of collapse now, but there are still a few points of family background.

But under the high merit of a thousand miles. Traveling lightly several times, not to mention that Gao Yigong doesn't have much silver, even if he does, he will throw the silver into the mountains and forests with a box. After coming to Huguang, he was subject to others everywhere.

The little money that I had saved was also exhausted.

The soldiers below didn't know how long they hadn't seen the silver, and when they heard about the silver, they were all excited for a while, and countless people rushed to the parade platform. It was also Gao Yigong's efforts to suppress it that he barely managed to maintain the situation.

Gao Yigong wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said secretly: "Sure enough, people have made up their minds, and the general trend is so irreversible." ”
