Chapter 423: Willing to die for the loyal martyrs

Seeing that everyone was happy, Wang Zheng felt very comfortable.

Next, Wang Zheng also decided on the armor of the regular soldiers, and the original soldiers were just generally imitated according to the armor of the Central Plains Guards, although the effect was not bad, but it was no longer applicable.

After the reform of this army expansion, the helmet of the regular soldiers of the descendant line was equipped with an iron helmet with a neck guard, and the armor was made of thicker cloth armor.

This kind of armor can effectively protect against the cold, and if you add iron plates, the protection ability is also good, and with gloves and boots, it looks heroic.

In addition, the outfits of Yanding and the Guardian Team remained the same, because there were too many of them to be counted, and if they all changed into brand new clothes, the cost would be too great.

Besides, their task is relatively easy, it is good to protect the peace of the place, and they are not needed in major battles, and if it comes to the time when it is necessary, it will be a very critical moment.

The clothes and armor of the descendants of the soldiers and horses have all been updated, and many foreign lines naturally cannot be left behind.

In the past, most of the foreign soldiers and horses of the Shandong army were only wearing the original armor, and this expansion and reform was to give them benefits, and secondly, they could also be distinguished from the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

They uniformly wore red hats, with very thin chain mail attached to them, and long black armor on their coats.

However, in contrast to the full-body armor of the descendants, they had no liner leaves and fluff, no brass nails, no arm guards and other decorations.

Among the foreign generals, except for the general of the first house, the rest will not be issued with dresses and various costumes, but there are various shoulder scarves according to their rank, which are used to distinguish them from ordinary soldiers.

Even so, the foreign soldiers and horses will be able to unify the standard clothing in the future, and in terms of appearance and protective ability, they will at least be much better than ordinary Central Plains battalion soldiers and guard soldiers.

The person who put it on, even if he is forever tied to the big ship of the Shandong Army, will never be able to get off again.

In the midst of discussion and laughter, Wang Zheng followed and began to talk about the flags of each battalion, only to see him nod towards the door, and immediately several soldiers entered the hall and unfurled several flags.

In the past, in order to save trouble, it always used the word "king" to recognize the flag, but this time it also added different battalion flags to each battalion.

The battalion flags of each battalion are all big flags, and they are red with the armor, but the yellow silk edge is added to the side of the flag, which looks more eye-catching, and the eyes of the battalion flag are more crimson than the armor, which looks like churning blood, which makes people fascinated when they see it.

The middle part of the camp flag of the four battalions is the same, all of them are a bird with high arms and high flight, in order to show respect for the orthodox status of the imperial court's military prestige, and there are small flags on the four sides to set off, and most of them are painted on it with the surname of the battalion officer.

For example, the sharp knife camp is based on the yellow-edged Xuanniao banner as the camp flag, and the small flag with the word "Dong" echoes each other from afar, which looks like an overwhelming momentum.

Next is the handsome flag of the Shandong army, which is set up by Wang Zheng's Mingwei Chinese army, which is used to coordinate the battalions and command the whole army.

The handsome flag takes blue as the background color, the surrounding silk edge is purple and yellow, and the four-clawed dragon with a bloody mouth in the middle is the traditional symbol of the Chinese nation.

In this way, if the four battalions are parallel to the Mingwei Chinese army, it will be a sea of flags and armor, like the brightly colored Manchurian Eight Banners flag, giving people a sense of invincibility.

The most important thing on the battlefield is not only whether the two sides win or lose in front of the battle, but also the all-round competition in terms of strength and momentum behind the scenes.

Looking at these mighty banners, all the generals were ecstatic, especially Dong Youyin, Huang Yang, Gao Liang, and Deng Heizi, who trembled even more excitedly.

They caressed the battalion flag with their surnames, and there seemed to be a flame burning in their eyes, and their surnames would actually appear among the three armies, what a glory, what a majesty!

Only by following Zhongliebo can we have today's status and scenery.

Gao Liang shouted "yes" and said:

"Mighty, domineering!"

"My Shandong army is to be as imposing as a rainbow, which makes people look different from other officers and soldiers!"

"Thank you, Boss!"

Wang Zheng nodded with a smile on his face, waved his hand and said:

"The reason why our Shandong Army has won many battles is not only because of the soldiers, but also on the regular soldiers who helped us defend the town during the war, the Yanding and the village protection team, the logistics transport soldiers, the pre-war artillerymen, etc., which is a kind of soul."

"From today on, no matter who sees which banner in the army, the first thing that comes to mind is our Shandong army, not the commander himself."

Speaking of this, Wang Zheng walked up to the generals one by one, patted them on the shoulder, and said:

"The two captives in the east and the west frequently knock on the customs, the traitorous ministers cause trouble in the court, and the rebels and thieves erode the Central Plains, all of which need to be solved by us, and the road ahead is a long way to go!"

"The blood is not exhausted, but the will will not be extinguished!"

Everyone's faces were shocked, even Li Yan was stunned for a long time, and not long after, everyone half-knelt on the ground, clasped their fists and shouted in unison:

"We are willing to die for the loyal martyrs!"

"We are willing to die for the loyal martyrs!!"

......

The news of the comprehensive reform of the Shandong Army swept in at a faster speed after the expansion of recruitment, and the people everywhere even more crowded their heads and wanted to join the Shandong Army.

Since the beginning of the expansion of recruitment, the yamen and barracks of the Shandong army in various places have been rotating day and night, and they cannot stop at all, and the generals who originally belonged to the imperial court cannot believe it when they see this scene.

In the past, even if they were caught by force, those people were not willing to come to serve as soldiers at all, but why did the Shandong army expand its recruitment just by sending a message, and some people waited day and night to come here?

This is the will of the people and the trend of the times!

The Shandong army is the only righteous division as it is today, and when the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are burning and plundering everywhere like thieves, only the area guarded by the Shandong army can keep the old and the young safe.

Even the thieves who swept through Henan, known as the 500,000 army, didn't they suffer defeats in Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion several times in succession last year?

It was from then on that the territory under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Army was cut off by bandits, and business travel was happy.

Outside a barracks recruited by the Shandong Army, there were military council officials in charge of recording sitting on tables and chairs, and next to them stood regular soldiers of the Shandong Army, who looked around vigilantly, and their hands were always on their waist knives.

Seeing the trembling old man coming over, a regular soldier hurriedly went over to help him, and asked carefully:

"Fellow, how old are you, you are going to be forty this year, right?"

Seeing the old man's vague nod, the soldier smiled and said:

"You'd better go home and farm, and let your son join the army!"

Hearing this, a few muddy tears suddenly fell from the old man's eyes, and he said sadly:

"I'm the only one left in the family, and I know that it will drag you back, so I'm just sitting there and watching it this time, don't worry about me."

With that, the old man broke free of his hand and walked over to the stone and sat down under the surprised gazes of several regular soldiers.

Seeing this situation, the old man's face was quite moved, and he muttered:

"I think back then, my Qi family's army had such a grand occasion..."

"Qi Shuai, have you seen it?"
