Chapter 61: Straight to the Heavens

As for the addition of a civilian official in the army - trainee chief Zheng Xiaowen, everyone can understand.

Originally, there would be civilian positions in the battalion and the guards, but most of them were Xiucai Gong, who served as officials, and it was relatively rare to have a grade even if they were only from the ninth grade.

But look at who Zheng Xiaowen's Laozi is, there will be no one who is uncommon and strange.

In fact, Huang Han didn't care about anything else, he was especially satisfied with the thirty skilled cavalrymen sent by Zheng Guochang, and he drank wine with these people that day.

A group of rugged men drank a lot of wine together, and then listened to Song Pengfei and Hanzi tell the story of the surprise attack on Zunhua, saying that everyone had at least forty taels of silver.

These cavalrymen's eyes lit up one by one, and they quickly changed their attitudes, and they were all ready to be safe when they came, and they also fought to cut off the heads of a few Jiannu to be promoted to become rich.

Yongping Mansion City was breached, Jiulitai Village is only a dozen miles away from the Mansion City, and on the fifth day of the first lunar month, there are dozens of Ming troops fleeing here, these people choose to flee here, the reason is of course that good story.

The Ming army thought that Zheng Zhaocha was present in Jiulitai Village, and if he ran here, he would find the organization.

Huang Yizhou is a Ming officer, of course he will collect the remnants, but he is very cautious, and there are people in the fleeing Ming army who can't tell the history or no one knows them.

In fact, on this day, there were no spies mixed in the defeated soldiers of the Ming army, Jiannu had just captured the city of Yongping Mansion, they were busy robbing and sleeping with beautiful women, where could they care about calculating a deserted mountain.

Most of the Ming troops who fled to Jiulitai were cavalry, in fact, when they were attacked by the Houjin army, only cavalry could get a chance to escape, and it was not easy for the infantry to rely on two legs to win the war horses.

Many of these Yongping cavalry were not lightly injured and still needed time to recuperate, and now there are twenty cavalrymen who have not been injured or have recovered from their injuries and have been taken in by Huangyi Prefecture as family members.

These people should be good soldiers who can rush out and take the initiative to find the organization without breaking up, and their riding skills will not be bad, otherwise they will not be able to escape at all.

The first batch of thirty Ming cavalry began to be reborn since following Huang Han, the survivors were all warriors, Huang Han realized more that the soldiers were beary, the truth of the bears, and accepted the cavalry that fled from Yongping to a few small flags, and they would also be infected by the military soul of this army in time.

Huang Han, who was working hard to expand the number of people, didn't know that he was a little person at this time.

When Liang Tingdong read out that the first hero of the capture of Zunhua was Dongsheng Zuowei and tried a thousand households of Huang Han, Chongzhen was a little stunned.

Emperor Chongzhen had just finished solving Zheng Guochang, due to a coincidence, when Dongnu came to attack Yongping Mansion, he happened not to escape a catastrophe.

As long as Zheng Guochang went to his house to accompany his wife for the New Year, he felt that he was valued, and was willing to sacrifice his life and forget his death to repay Zheng according to the beheading of the envoy Huang Han Chongzhen, the chief flag officer, still has some impressions.

After Liang Tingdong finished reading the list of heroes who captured Zunhua, he immediately asked: "Liang Aiqing, do you know how many trial households named Huang Han there are in Dongsheng Zuowei?" ”

Knowing that the emperor would ask this question, the shrewd and capable Liang Tingdong had already prepared for the class.

He also found that the Ministry of War had just promoted a Dongsheng Left Guard named Huang Han to a Thousand Households, and the document had only been issued for less than three days, and another Dongsheng Left Guard, also named Huang Han, had made the first great contribution to the capture of Zunhua City, and was written by Liu Zhilun in the first place among the generals who asked for a reward.

Liang Tingdong and Zheng Guochang are old friends, and he immediately took a few cavalrymen from Zunhua to report their merits to find friends to verify.

Zheng Guochang only knew that Huang Han sent him to Jingshi and went back, and he didn't know anything about what would happen after that.

However, after interrogating the people sent by Liu Zhilun, he confirmed that Huang Han, who was on the way home, joined Liu Zhilun's team, and at Huang Han's suggestion, the whole army rushed to Zunhua and won a great victory.

Zheng Guochang was relieved after learning about the cause and effect, who would dare to question that good story in the future? His discerning eyes are already certain, and the Son of Heaven will also praise him!

So he talked with his friends for a long time, and even explained the family history and physical characteristics of Huang Han's father and son clearly, and asked his friends to bring more to the younger generations.

Therefore, Liang Tingdong should be one of the few ministers in the Ming Dynasty who is familiar with Huang Han's father and son.

The emperor opened his mouth to ask, and Liang Tingdong's answer was of course decent and material.

He described the situation of the Battle of Zunhua very well, and told the story of Huang Han being favored by Liu Zhilun and trying his best to invite him to join the team with the iron armor family Ding, just like Liu Xuande invited Zhuge Liang to visit the thatched house three times.

Chongzhen was very satisfied with the new officer's military secretary, and took advantage of his good mood to praise Liang Tingdong a few words.

The victory of Zunhua came too timely, the Ming court urgently needed a victory to inspire, under the hint of the emperor, under the promotion of the military department, the streets and alleys in the city of Beijing were all Zunhua victory.

In order to be more convincing, Liang Tingdong actually placed the heads of more than 1,000 Jiannu in front of the lobby of the military department to show the public, and the effect was surprisingly good.

The Imperial Court Newspaper also described this unprecedented victory in rich colors, and also clearly pointed out that the key to this great victory was that the Holy Son of Heaven had a discerning vision, and it was really a great, glorious, and correct decision to promote Liu Zhilun.

Next, the Ming Dynasty began to operate, and the Houjin army besieged Funing County for a few days and actually returned, and the reinforcement battalion that held Funing was the unit of Huang Han who had just made the first contribution to capture Zunhua, which showed that this team was one of the few strong troops in the Ming Dynasty!

As a result, Huang Weizheng, a staff general who adhered to Funing's meritorious service in history, was not ignored as in history, and his reinforcement battalion was directly upgraded to a strange battalion, and he was finally promoted to one level, from a second-rank staff general to a second-rank deputy general, that is, a deputy general as modern people understand.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was very strange, and there was basically no subordinate relationship between the generals.

The senior generals of the battalions on the nine sides include the general soldiers, deputy general soldiers, staff generals, and soldiers and horses directly under the guerrilla forces, that is, regular soldiers, surprise soldiers, reinforcements, and guerrillas.

Moreover, the number of men and horses in the first battalion of the Ming Dynasty is not determined by the rank of the chief general, and most of the full number of men and horses in the main barracks, odd barracks, reinforcement barracks and guerrilla battalions are around 3,000 to 5,000.

An army that is not understood by modern people at all will certainly not have less than two divisions, and a division must have more than three regiments......

When Jiannu entered the Koujing Division, there were probably no less than a few dozen chief officers, deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas who arrived, but the command and dispatch were all carried out by civilian officials, which can be seen from this.

It is possible that this method is due to the fact that the imperial court is extremely wary of the martial arts, and the chief military officer can only nominally control the subordinate generals such as deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and so on.
