With the addition of the newly built cavalry brigade, the Flying Tiger Army has expanded to more than 13,000 troops, and it is inconvenient to be stationed in the capital again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoChen Di has ordered the Flying Tiger Army to move outside Shuntianfu, leaving only 1,000 firecrackers in the capital to be responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Chen Di came to the Flying Tiger Army camp outside the capital to review the three armies. Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and Chen Di understands this truth better than anyone else. Today, after Chen Di finished reviewing the three armies, he will pay out of his own pocket to give a spring banquet to 13,000 soldiers. This is not only to reward the officers and men of the Flying Tiger Army who have worked hard for training, but also to buy the hearts of the army.

Marshal Yu Dayou of the Flying Tiger Army, Tang Shunzhi, Chief of Staff, Qi Jiguang, Commander of the First Division, Li Chengliang, Commander of the Cavalry Brigade, and others greeted Chen Di at the gate of the battalion.

Chen Di bowed his hand to everyone: "You have worked hard this year!" ”

Yu Dayou and others returned the salute one after another: "It's just a responsibility." ”

Chen Di suddenly discovered that the Tatar princess and Qi Jiguang's wife, Helan Xue, was also standing among the generals in military uniform.

Chen Di asked He Lanxue: "Second sister-in-law, why are you here?" ”

Helan Xue scolded: "Your memory as a metropolitan governor is similar to that of a pig on the grassland!" Didn't you make me the deputy commander of the cavalry brigade? ”

Chen Di patted his head: "I forgot about this." Deputy Brigade Commander Helan Xue, how is the training of your cavalry brigade? ”

Helan Xue said in stiff Chinese: "You Han people are not like us people on the grassland!" We people on the grassland learn to ride sheep from the age of four, and from the age of fourteen we learn to ride horses. When it comes to horse archery, the people of the steppe are like this。。。。。。 ”

Saying this, Helan Xue stretched out a thumbs up. Then she continued: "You Han cavalry are too stupid! However, these cavalry trained very hard. Today's cavalry brigades, although they can't catch up with our Tatar iron cavalry, are still a little bit old。。。。。 ”

Helan Xue's pungent personality and straightforward words made Yu Dayou and other generals laugh. Qi Jiguang looked straight at Helan Xue and motioned for her to shut up. But she still gushed endlessly: "Governor Chen, why don't you let the soldiers of the cavalry brigade practice archery?" Is a cavalryman who can't shoot an arrow still called a cavalry? Just a flock of sheep to be slaughtered! ”

The reason why Chen Di did not allow the cavalry brigade to practice archery was because he wanted to build the cavalry brigade into a firearms cavalry unit like the dragoons of the British Empire in the 18th century. He had secretly ordered Shi Sun to develop a short tiger power gun, which was specially equipped for the cavalry brigade. It's just that it takes time, so today's cavalry brigades are only armed with sabers.

Helan Xue was anxious to be sarcastic and sarcastic. Qi Jiguang finally couldn't listen anymore: "Helan Xue! You're just a deputy brigade commander, how can you talk like this to the Grand Governor! ”

Helan Xue glared at Qi Jiguang: "What's the matter, Senior Qi has an opinion about me?" ”

Helan Xue's glaring made Qi Jiguang tremble. Qi Jiguang is not afraid of death on the battlefield and dares to work hard, but there is a problem, that is, he is afraid of his wife. In addition, Helan Xue is a tigress, so Qi Jiguang, a real tiger, turned into a rabbit when he saw Helan Xue.

Chen Di laughed and said: "Haha, it seems that the commander of the first division of my Flying Tiger Army can't control the deputy brigade commander of the cavalry brigade!" Alright, let's camp! ”

Chen Di and a group of generals entered the barracks. Chen Di asked Tang Shunzhi: "Why didn't Deputy Chief of Staff Yan Shifan come?" ”

Tang Shunzhi replied: "Which gentle township should he be in the capital now?" ”

Chen Di nodded: "Well, it's good, don't worry about him." Give him the full amount of money every month! ”

The officers and men of the Flying Tiger Army finished parading and the parade began.

Zhao Laogen, the battalion commander of the Flying Tiger Army, took on a rotating role as a patrol officer today. I saw a third-class silver leaf medal hanging on his left chest, a blue cloth military uniform, and a command knife at his waist. This man who is almost forty years old is no longer the cowering miner of the past, but a majestic officer of the Flying Tiger Army!

Zhao Laogen walked up to Chen Di, pulled out the command knife, and shook it forty-five degrees from the lower right: "Report to the Metropolitan Governor!" All the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army have assembled! Please check it out! Patrol officer, Zhao Laogen! ”

Chen Di said: "Very good, start!" ”

Zhao Laogen turned around and ordered: "All the soldiers, sing the military song of the Flying Tiger Army!" ”

Thirteen,000 soldiers began to sing the military song of the Flying Tiger Army in unison, and the voice shook the sky:

"Flying tiger, go to my rivers and mountains.

Blood is not shed, and death is not a truce.

There is a Ming Dynasty in the east, rising like the sun.

A hundred years of national hatred, the sea is difficult to peace.

The world is in turmoil, how can we get Corning.

There are flying tigers, who will compete! ”

After the expansion of the Flying Tiger Army, Chen Di slightly modified the military song of the Flying Tiger Army to make it more imposing.

The military song of the Flying Tigers floated on the school grounds. The firecrackers are always armed with tiger guns, and two cloth bullet belts are carried diagonally on their chests. This bullet belt was made by Chen Di's manufacturing office, and each bullet can hold 30 rounds of paper shells. In this way, each soldier of the Flying Tiger Army can carry a total of 60 rounds of paper shells. Around their waists, leech machine arrows and an arrow barrel are hung. Inside the quiver are eighteen ephedra bolts. In addition, each person had a grenade belt tied around his waist, and eight grenades were inserted into the grenade belt.

With a tiger gun, a leech crossbow, 60 paper shell bullets, 16 crossbow arrows, and eight grenades, the weight of a soldier of the Flying Tiger Army reached nearly 50 catties. The PL of the Celestial Empire in later generations is also this number.

After the military song was finished, Zhao Laogen ordered loudly: "All soldiers, the gun is under the shoulder, and the gun salute!" ”

"Brush brush brush", tens of thousands of soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army lowered the tiger power on their shoulders, and placed their left hands parallel to the mouth of the gun, which was the gun salute set by Chen Di for the Flying Tiger Army.

After saluting with a gun, Zhao Laogen said again: "All battalions are lined up." Assemble the queue to march! ”

More than 10,000 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army assembled in battalions, and after the assembly, they walked through the Dianjiangtai with neat steps.

On the stage, Chen Di, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Tang Shunzhi, and Li Chengliang stood to review the Flying Tiger Army.

Under the stage, eight thousand musketeers marched in formation. These firecrackers walked in unison, shouting: "Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the Flying Tiger Army" and walked past the point of the general. Eight thousand firecrackers form the skeleton of the Flying Tigers.

Then there were the two thousand brothers of the artillery brigade. They drove the wagons, each with a furlong cannon towed behind it. Thanks to the hard work of the office, the artillery brigade had more than 130 Furlong fast guns. All of these guns fire iron-clad flowering shells. It is said that artillery is the god of war. The artillery brigade is an iron fist of the Flying Tigers.

Further down are the brethren of the cavalry brigade. The cavalrymen each rode tall horses. These horses were secretly purchased by Lu Bing, who was in Datongwei, by Chen Di, from various Mongolian departments. If the firecracker is the skeleton of the Flying Tiger Army, and the artillery brigade is the iron fist of the Flying Tiger Army, then the cavalry brigade is a sharp sword of the Flying Tiger Army.

The one riding at the front was none other than He Lanxue, the deputy commander of the cavalry brigade. Helan Xue is dressed in a military uniform, and her waist and hip saber are heroic.

Chen Di said to Qi Jiguang: "What a heroine who doesn't let her eyebrows go!" ”

Qi Jiguang whispered to Chen Di: "What a heroine among women, the mother is almost the same!" ”
