Chapter 210: Thirty-five years old
In the eastern port of Yuecheng, the main force of the naval division docked here with a large number of troop carriers.
The army with the banners of the Hydra Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Wolf, and the Eight Banners of the Holy Elephant walked on the newly opened dirt road, lined up in two long lines.
Won half of the territory of the southern county, captured two large villages, dozens of small and medium-sized villages, more than 20,000 banner people, more than 10,000 soldiers, and the reported 100,000, there are some differences, but this day Emperor Gao is far away, and it is impossible to come to check.
The imperial court also values the tax of 100,000 people, and Cao's "sex" has never been lacking.
The 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 bannermen are located in the village, most of them participated in the battle of the district company rebellion and the attack on the elephant forest, and the men were killed and wounded a lot, and the prisoners were already reorganized at that time.
Three thousand holy icons and eight flags were compiled into the red and two blue flags.
Since then, the Eight Banners of the Holy Elephant have a total of 15,000.
Among them, Zhengbai: five thousand.
Zhenghong: Three thousand.
Red: two thousand five.
Two blues: two thousand each.
Cao's regular soldiers, naval divisions, and Eight Banners reached 190,000.
In the marching procession, Cao Xing, who was riding on a jujube red horse, smelled the salty and wet sea breeze, looked at the few jackfruit trees mixed with the forests on both sides from time to time, and remembered the fact that in Wupu Village, the generals gathered and ate jackfruit.
This fruit, the Cham people call it "Pinnazi", but this is the name of the Cham language, it is too awkward to say, Cao's "sex" is named jackfruit on the grounds that his taste is as sweet as honey.
At first, Cao Jun still felt that this was not the same mouthful, honey can understand, the taste is indeed sweet, but what is this pineapple? Why is the word pineapple preceded?
Screaming and screaming, it is also called habit, and the name of jackfruit is completely determined.
Looking at the Zhanren who had left his hometown, like a prisoner being escorted, with a touch of self-satisfaction in his eyes, Cao "sex" turned back to Cao Ying who was in charge of escorting and said: "Ah Ying, you have been with me for many years, you are my left shoulder and right arm, and you are a member of our Cao family. ”
"Thank you, my lord! The end will live up to expectations! ”
Cao Ying's words were scarce, and he didn't mention the difficulties at all, and the seriousness on his face made Cao "sex" feel very relieved.
10,000 regular soldiers and 50,000 soldiers who participated in the crusade against Zhao Ci were stationed in various parts of Chu County, Xinxian County, and after the 10,000 Hydra and Eight Banners completed the "escort" of the Eight Banners of the Holy Elephant on the ship, they will leave 5,000 people with positive white flags, and 5,000 people with two red flags of the Hydra and the Holy Elephant.
In this way, there are 20,000 regular soldiers left in the newly established Chu County, and the holy elephant with red flags and 2,050 soldiers are not counted, and the remaining regular soldiers, hydra Zhengbai, and red flag soldiers are 17,500 soldiers.
These people will form a family with the new 10,000 local soldiers and be their concubines, so that the remaining soldiers will all solve the problem of singleness, especially in the main barracks, many of whom have taken wives, which is equivalent to one more concubine.
Enjoyed the treatment of Haoqiang.
The 10,000 new local garrisons have a characteristic, that is, all of them are women under the age of 35, most of them are occupants who died in the Battle of Xianglin, and these guilty wives, sisters, and daughters are left behind.
There are also widows and unmarried women.
If it is suitable for the cave house, it is too young to be suitable for the cave house, so it will be raised, even if it is a baby, and if you don't want to accept her as a concubine in the future, you can also leave it to your son and be a child daughter-in-law.
Since then, Chu County has 60,000 soldiers.
The Eight Banners of the Holy Elephant, in addition to the red flag left behind, the rest of the personnel began to reluctantly board the ship, looking at these small stature, language barriers, loyalty is about equal to zero, all by watching, in order to play some role.
"Phew~"
Arriving at the port, Cao "sex" pulled the reins of the horse, stopped the jujube red horse, looked at the direction of the Eight Banners of the Holy Elephant boarding, "revealed" a sneer, and quickly covered it up:
"Ah Ying, Hydra is the Red Flag Banner Master Liao Hua, although he is the owner of the Three Banners, he is still the military Sima, you are the captain, this time he will be under your command.
Liao Hua Liao Yuanjian He is a good general, and he can be of great use.
The holy elephant is inlaid with a red flag, his ability is average, loyalty is also a problem, you need to take a good look, you are a war elephant, it is a male elephant, it can be a breeding elephant, this time we have harvested two elephants that have not been domesticated completely.
In addition to opening the road, these three elephants will open up the line of Xianglin, Chu County, and Yuecheng as soon as possible.
It is also necessary to step up the purchase of elephants, capture wild elephants, breed baby elephants, and form a large-scale war elephant cavalry as soon as possible.
In this land, war elephants still have a great role! ”
Cao 'sex' is like a husband and wife parting, constantly entrusting, Cao Ying didn't say a word, nodded at the same time, and kept it in his heart.
After speaking, the Eight Banners said that they were in the barracks.
"There are 10,000 soldiers in the main barracks, and there are no high-ranking people, except for Xie Lang, the military commander, the highest is to command a battalion of 500 soldiers, and act as the military marquis of the battalion military Sima.
and they shall be ruled by thee.
The forests of Chu County, the king of the Central Plains and the grasslands, the cavalry, do not have much role here, and may not be as good as the elite foot soldiers because they have more legs.
Xie Lang and his Howling Army stayed here, not only to expand the scale of the Howling Army, but also to breed and train more military dogs.
There are also these military dogs, which can not only help guard the door and prevent sneak attacks, but also exert greater combat power than regular soldiers in the jungle.
In peacetime, it can also be used as a hunting dog to hunt and subsidize military rations. ”
Cao Ying, Liao Hua, Xie Lang, and Gou Yu, four armies with their own characteristics remained in Chu County.
This new territory has a wide land, rich resources such as trees and wild beasts.
In addition to guarding this land, in the future, it will also be built into a collection of trade, shipbuilding, fishing, planting, as well as a war elephant training base and a military dog training base.
In this way, Cao "sex" and Cao Ying chatted for an hour, and more than 10,000 holy elephants and eight flags finally completed the boarding, and even some of the corresponding materials were also moved onto the ship.
"Squeak~"
There was a loud eagle chirping in the sky, Cao Xing and the others looked up, only to see a snow-white eagle eagle hovering in the air, its wings spread out than the seabird next to it I don't know how many times, hearing its chirp, just now there was a port full of birds, instantly let out a frightened wail, one by one spread their wings but only dared to run away against the ground, for fear of touching the overlord in the sky.
Among them were two two-foot-long eagles.
After Cao "Xing" saw him, instead of being surprised, he made a look at a tiger and leopard next to him.
This tiger and leopard righteous servant is weaker than other righteous servants around, and the tendons and flesh on his body are not so bulging, and he doesn't even have a long soldier, but in the status of righteous servants, he is absolutely transcendent.
