Chapter 116: Scouts
The second brother and his party rode to the school field outside the camp, and then turned over and dismounted, and a general in armor saw it, and trotted all the way over, "See the captain!" ”
Gao Yihuan threw the horsewhip to Zhao Zhuzi, and then glanced at the soldiers on the school field, thousands of men wearing cotton jackets of various colors, boxing "hey, hey, haha" on the school field, looked a little better than when he was first recruited, and he was a little more energetic.
The second brother Gao has enough money and food now, but there are some things, such as cotton armor, fire guns and other things, he just has money and food, and he can't make it up for a while.
Armor making, gun-making, these more complex things, need to have a division of labor, there must be cotton production areas, there must be looms, there must be skilled workers, and the acquisition of iron nails is not simple, it needs the cooperation of a network.
In the past, the second brother had few people, and he could get some weapons and armor through Zhou Ronghua to meet the equipment of his subordinates, but now that there are many people and the amount is too much, it is unlikely that the team will be equipped by reselling materials.
The second brother took a look at the school field, and was quite satisfied with the new pawn, but there was no unified armor, which made him look a little uncomfortable, and he always felt informal, very amateurish, and like a bandit.
In the past, it occupied a small county in Luyi, and the manpower and material resources were not sufficient, and if you did one thing, you didn't have the time to do the next one.
Now that Runing has been captured, plus Chenzhou and Xiangcheng, the territory is larger, and the population is larger, so they can divide labor and cooperate, the second brother Gao looked at the soldiers, and said in his heart: "It seems that we have to quickly arrange the smelting and cotton cloth procurement, and after the raw materials are prepared, it is time to recruit some craftsmen to make armor and artillery."
At this time, the second brother came back to his senses, and when he saw the military general saluting, he couldn't help but reach out and hold Jin Shenghuan, "Huchen doesn't have to be polite!" ”
After speaking, the second brother pointed to the school soldier and praised it again, "I think the new soldier is training very well!" ”
The armored general is Jin Shenghuan, who is the highest-ranking Ming army general in addition to Hu Dawei.
This time, there were nearly 3,000 more soldiers of the left army among the second brother's men, and Jin Shenghuan had a high prestige among them, and the second brother was afraid that he would take the lead, so he did not let him continue to lead the army, but asked him to train the soldiers of the new curtain.
Jin Shenghuan still wants to lead the troops, but the Gao Du Lieutenant in front of him seems to have an opinion on Zuo Town, and it is clear that Zuo Zhen accounts for about eighty percent of the soldiers, but the officers are basically not reused, but it is the Hu Dawei Department with few people, and almost everyone has been promoted.
"The lieutenant laughed, the humble post is a multi-year army, if the two thousand raw melons and eggs are not well trained, what kind of face do you have to stay in the lieutenant army?" Jin Shenghuan glanced at the second brother and said.
The second brother heard the meaning of his words, which was to say that he had been in the army for many years and was training here, whether it was overkill.
"Hahaha~ Huchen's ability, Bendu knows it in his heart." Gao Yihuan snorted and laughed a few times, but suddenly changed the topic and asked, "How is the situation of the reorganization of the new pawns, is the system complete?"
Jin Shenghuan was a little disappointed when he saw that the second brother of the senior high school had diverted the topic, but he still hugged his fists and said: "The shelf has been erected, but the officers are not in place." ”
The second brother actually knows that his men and horses are expanding too fast, and after coming out and going around this time, there are 6,000 more people at once, and the number of officers will definitely not be able to keep up, and he doesn't want to use too many generals in the left army, so there is a big gap in the low-level generals.
For this group of left troops, the second brother's current attitude is to eat and drink well, but he will not reuse them, at least until his descendants are established and the foundation is solid, he will consider using them.
The second brother bowed slightly, now that the power is created, there is really a lack of everything, it seems that he still has to get a martial arts hall.
"Let's go, let's go to the school grounds!" The second brother waved his hand, and then walked forward, and Zhao Zhuzi and others led the horse to follow.
The second brother has been busy lately, but as long as he has time, he has to come to the camp to show his face and let the soldiers know about his existence.
At this time, except for more than 1,000 elite soldiers inside and outside Runing City, the rest of the men and horses were camped outside the city.
More than 3,000 troops surrendered, and more than 2,000 new troops, set up two camps, and a large tent was spread over the wilderness, and then surrounded by a fence to form two large circles.
In order to reduce the time for building the camp, the school site was directly selected on the open field outside the camp, and only a simple point platform was built, and the surrounding fence was not blocked.
When Gao Yihuan led everyone over, the soldiers were still practicing boxing, Jin Shenghuan stepped forward to give an order, and the two thousand new soldiers stopped, and then gathered one after another, and the atmosphere was very warm.
These people are all local farmers in Runing, and they got ten acres of land when they first joined the army, and in the camp, they have enough white flour steamed buns and Henan flatbread every day, so they naturally support Gao Yihuan very much.
Although the combat power of the soldiers is far stronger than that of this new army, the second brother is afraid that they will be infected with the bad habit of surrendering soldiers, so he would rather have an empty officer seat than be an officer according to the dispatch of a soldier.
At this time, the second brother looked at the new soldiers who rushed to the stage, and then waved his hand, and the soldiers who had trained for more than ten days immediately quieted down.
This shows that Jin Shenghuan's ability is indeed stronger than his generals.
"All of you brothers are from Henan, and everyone knows what the situation in Henan is now. If you don't want Runing to become Kaifeng, if you don't want your land to be taken back, if you don't want to have heavy taxes, if you don't want your family to be displaced, then train me well. In the future, I will definitely lead you to make a meritorious deed and make a peace. ”
The second brother still didn't say anything like national righteousness, but the new pawns below cheered together, "Make a meritorious deed, make a peace." ”
Jin Shenghuan listened to Gao Yihuan's words, and was a little surprised in his heart, the thief general in front of him was really not an ordinary person, and he dared to say anything.
"Fight for meritorious deeds, fight for peace", he dared to say this, and he made goosebumps all over his old fritters, and his heart boiled.
In the midst of cheers, the second brother nodded with satisfaction, and prepared to go to the barracks to have a look.
At this time, in the distant wilderness, a dozen or so horsemen suddenly appeared, dressed in various kinds of armor and very disorganized equipment, each riding a horse and leading a horse, and rushed from the west, and finally stopped a few miles away from the large camp.
"Second brother, look over there!" Zhao Zhuzi found out about the situation and said urgently to Gao Yihuan, who turned around and wanted to leave.
The second brother hurriedly turned his head to look and saw that this cavalry was like a pack of wolves in the field, peeking at them from a distance, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and felt a crisis in his heart.
The second brother frowned and squinted and observed the cavalry in the distance for a while, but the distance was too far away, but he couldn't see the identity of the other party clearly, so he waved his hand to Zhao Zhuzi and said, "Zhuzi, give the order for the cavalry to take a look." ”
The cavalry of the Gao Army, who was practicing riding in the distance, had long noticed the small group of cavalry parked outside the camp, so they stopped training and looked at the cavalry from a distance.
Here, Zhao Zhuzi turned over his horse, personally went over to give the order, and then led more than a hundred horsemen to gallop to see the team of people and horses over.
The team of more than ten cavalrymen, facing more than 100 cavalry, was not afraid, until Zhao Zhuzi led nearly 100 cavalry to approach within 100 steps, they grabbed the reins of the horses and prepared to evacuate.
However, the cavalry led by saw that the men and horses rushing were not official soldiers, but they loosened the reins and let Zhao Zhuzi and others approach.
Gao Yihuan looked at the situation in the distance, and after a while, he saw Zhao Zhuzi galloping back, turning over and dismounting, and said with some gasp: "Second brother, it is the scout of King Chuang." The leader of the scouts said that King Chuang defeated the official army in the north north of Yuzhou, pursued and killed the official army for more than 400 miles, and then returned to the division to collect grain, and had already gone down to Nanyang and was about to march into Runing. ”
When the second brother heard this, his expression immediately became serious~
