Chapter 436: Famous General Seed Loyal Man
It is not easy for ordinary soldiers in the Jiaozhou battalion to join the pro-soldier battalion, and one of the ways is to be promoted to the rank of deputy of the team, and officers at all levels will report to the non-commissioned officers who are diligent in training, have excellent combat skills, and are desperately loyal to Li Meng, and officers who have not participated in the pro-soldier battalion. (Provide a > for the latest chapter reading.)
Another situation is to make military merits, such as valuable advice, such as fighting bravely on the battlefield, such ordinary soldiers are also selected according to the rules.
All kinds of information above had to be reported layer by layer, and finally gathered in the hands of Li Meng, who circled the members who joined the pro-military camp.
After the circle, it is not immediately possible to enter the pro-military camp, Shandong Salt Gang and Lingshan Commercial Bank, which should now be the inventory department, will investigate the origin and background of the soldier who was circled.
Generally speaking, those who are not from Shandong will not be considered, and Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou in Shandong are given priority, and the best family is a good child, at least not broken within five years, and now in troubled times, because of natural disasters, there are quite a lot of bankrupt poor people.
In Shandong, which has gone bankrupt in the past five years, it is inseparable from the Jiaozhou camp, and after the breakdown, he must have a lot of hatred for this system, so he will naturally not be selected.
The possibility of soldiers from Tuntian households being selected is also very small, only after the whole family has changed their nationality because of preferential policies, there is this possibility, and in careful consideration, Tuntian soldiers can enter the pro-military camp often as non-commissioned officers or low-level officers, with a certain position. However, at present, after the experimental battalion has been merged into the pro-barracks, the road to the pro-barracks has become much wider for the soldiers of the entire Jiaozhou battalion system. \
If someone analyzes it carefully. Now this road has actually narrowed, since there is a garrison brigade and an experimental brigade in the pro-barracks side by side, ordinary soldiers from local people can only enter the experimental brigade, and the garrison brigade accepts those non-commissioned officers. Military personnel with excellent performance.
In addition, there is also a promotion system between the experimental brigade and the garrison brigade, and the experimental brigade has regular assessments, and anyone who excels in the assessment can enter the garrison brigade.
Soldiers enter the experimental brigade and go out to serve as non-commissioned officers after a certain period of time here, and non-commissioned officers or junior officers enter the garrison brigade and go out to serve as officers after a certain period of time.
It is a pity that the soldiers of the experimental brigade have learned various tactics and actual combat skills of the Jiaozhou battalion, and they are originally just ordinary soldiers, and they must be lacking in some special aspects. Entering the experimental brigade is to give him a comprehensive exhibition, and the garrison brigade must not only strengthen various skills, but also learn command skills and comprehend the tactical thinking of the Jiaozhou battalion.
For the non-commissioned officers and officers of the Jiaozhou battalion, it is very necessary to have such a process, because of the tactics and various tactical ideas of Li Mengdi's army, and the current Ming army. Even the military units of the entire Asian Big 6 are very different, even if they have been soldiers in the past. Those who have some military experience. This knowledge is also useless and must be learned and experienced by yourself. in order to become a qualified member of this unit.
In addition to this significance, the pro-military battalion is an elite collection of the entire Jiaozhou battalion system. \ is the current middle and lower officer corps of the Jiaozhou battalion, and the future high-level officers will definitely come from this group.
Such a group must ensure its loyalty to Li Mengdi. As a unit directly under Li Mengdi, the pro-military battalion defends the national mansion every day, enjoys a higher treatment than ordinary soldiers, and trains with Li Meng, in addition to improving people's skills, the most important way is to cultivate people's loyalty.
The so-called sharing weal and woe, that is, this, the Ming army will treat their own cronies and families like this, so that in exchange for the life and death of the people below.
What Li Meng did, and the Ming generals of the same era, is no different in this regard, people's hearts are speculating and grasping, this is something that has not changed for thousands of years, Li Meng is not a person, and he can only follow the rules, the so-called difference, but this pro-military camp is equivalent to a military school.
Even if it is an ordinary Ming general's pro-soldier family, it is about the same level as an ordinary officer, or even a little higher, this Li Meng's pro-soldier, released is a promising young handsome, Shandong up and down five or six years ago is to touch the doorway, anyone who enters the pro-soldier, then one step to heaven, now it is right to be on the management and protection.
As a result, there is a trend in Shandong now, if someone says that he is going to enter the pro-military camp, then the person who proposes the pro-soldier will immediately break through the threshold.
In the very beginning, entering the pro-military camp was just a local family with considerable family background coming to propose, and then it was the local rich family or even a big family to propose, and now, if anyone enters the pro-military camp, it is possible for the local county order and the governor to send their daughters through the door. \
In response to this phenomenon, the Jiaozhou battalion even issued a special order, except for those who were married before entering the pro-military camp, they were not allowed to marry, and could only get engaged.
The special status of the pro-military camp around Li Meng in Shandong could not be imagined by people from other provinces that it was precisely because of the special nature of this pro-military camp that the high-ranking officials and cronies of the Jiaozhou battalion system were all proud of having someone enter the pro-military camp.
But there has never been an exception to the pro-military camp, and until now, only one person has entered this pro-military camp, because this person's quality is indeed qualified, and his performance is much better than that of others.
This person is still in the garrison brigade, he is Sun Chuanting's second son, who was originally sent to serve in the Dengzhou Army, who would have thought that the tiger father has no dog, this young man with the pseudonym Sun Xiwu was praised for his excellent performance in the Dengzhou Army, and he entered the pro-soldier battalion garrison step by step.
Sun Xiwu's performance Wang Hai was full of praise, and said to Li Meng several times that it was the first time he saw the soldiers in the pro-military camp with such clear minds and strategic thinking, and he would inevitably be the rising star of the Jiaozhou battalion in the future.
Of course, Li Meng knew that this Sun Xiwu was Sun Chuanting's second son, and Wang Hai had rarely been to that small courtyard that day, and he was not too familiar with Sun Xiwu's appearance, and after this young man joined the army, his body was much stronger, and he was also tanned, and his appearance changed greatly.
It is really a family history, and the descendants of Sun Chuanting, the most outstanding person in the late Ming Dynasty, must have received a lot of edification. \ Li Meng also praised the "family history" and "tiger father has no dog son" in the conversation with Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting, who has always been calm and calm, is very proud and happy every time he encounters this topic.
So the three of them had a secret conversation in the tea room. Hearing Li Meng say that Chen Yongfu's son Chen De was coming to participate in the pro-military camp, Sun Chuanting and Liu Fulai immediately understood the meaning of these words.
It has been a common practice for thousands of years to send his son over as a proton to show his loyalty, which is a signal of surrender, just like when Tang Taizong and Tang Xuanzong were in the time, most of the palace guards were princes of states and tribes near the Tang Dynasty, and Chen Yongfu sent Chen De with this intention.
Sun Chuanting bowed forward. Congratulations:
"Congratulations to Qi Guogong, recover Chen Yongfu, this person I also knew a lot when I was in Henan, he is a rare military general at the moment, cautious and introverted, steady and well-behaved, and the soldiers and horses under his command should be elite soldiers."
That's the end of the matter. Li Meng nodded with a smile, and raised the teapot to Liu Fulai beside him. The old eunuch had such a filial attitude towards Li Mengdi. Although I have long been used to it, every time I experience it, I feel like I am drinking a good drink. It's all over the body.
Intoxicated, Liu Fulai said slowly:
"Chen Yongfu can call this Chen Delai. It must be sincere, but the area around Kaifeng City is too peaceful. It is better to send troops over to guard the town earlier, so as not to cause changes. ”
Kaifeng City is a large city, and has not been broken, the city fortifications are extremely complete, the reserves of manpower and materials in the city are also sufficient, if people take advantage of the weakness to enter, close the door to defend themselves, it is really a difficult nail to gnaw. \
After all, if it weren't for Shandong's constant pressure on the displaced army, it would have been difficult for Chen Yongfu's more than 9,000 people to hold such a big city.
In fact, as the convoy of goods sailed to Henan, there were already soldiers and relevant personnel entering Kaifeng City, these are all detailed arrangements, there is no need to explain to the old eunuch, Li Meng just smiled and said:
"What my uncle said is that the arrangements have been made accordingly, please let it go
The reason why the old eunuch judged from Chen De that Chen Yongfu was sincere and obedient was because this Chen De was not an idle person, if Chen Yongfu and Chen De's father and son were taken outside Henan to inquire, there were probably more people who knew this Chen De than Chen Yongfu, for no other reason, this Chen De was personally called a young hero by Emperor Chongzhen.
A year ago, Li Zicheng, the king of Kaifeng, approached the city wall to check the defense of the Ming army, but was shot in the cheek by Chen De, who was hiding behind the city wall.
The whole army of the displaced people was frightened and had to retreat, with this arrow, Chen De, who was only a garrison that day, was suddenly famous. After breaking through the army and leaving, he was immediately promoted to two levels and promoted to guerrilla, Chen Yongfu's three sons, only this Chen De made him the most proud.
Since then, the defense of Kaifeng City has basically been presided over by Chen Yongfu and Chen De, and more than 4,000 horses among the more than 9,000 Yu soldiers have also been handed over to Chen De to command. \
Although Chen De is just 20 years old and his status is nothing more than a guerrilla, he is actually the deputy chief soldier of Henan, and there is nothing inappropriate about it.
A young man like Chen De, who is on the side of Emperor Chongzhen, is in the heart of the emperor, even in the Ming Dynasty, he has a bright future, but he was sent by Chen Yongfu to join the pro-military camp, which can indeed show that Chen Yongfu expressed a completely surrendered attitude towards Li Meng.
But what is interesting is that Chen De gave up his official position and came to defect in vain, thinking that joining the pro-military camp was a matter of course, but the pro-military camp is a reserve military academy in Shandong, a training base for officers and non-commissioned officers, and the recruitment of every new member is carried out in accordance with standards and rules.
If this is not the case, I am afraid that the pro-military camp will be filled with the pro-noble children of Shandong Lianghuai, but this move was misunderstood by Chen De.
Chen De was told by his father before he came, this time he came to Shandong from Henan for the survival of our Chen family, and he wanted to leave behind the pride and reserve he cultivated in Henan, and he must not have a conflict with the other party, after all, he came this time, but he came to ask the other party to take him in.
Whether it is Chen Yongfu or Chen De, they don't know much about the system of the Jiaozhou battalion, at best, they just know the following generals and approximate troops, they naturally think that this pro-military battalion is just a cronie guard around Li Meng, and a family member elsewhere.
If you come to participate in this pro-military camp by yourself, even if you put yourself in front of the other party, ask the other party to monitor nearby, and clearly play the role of a hostage. \
What Chen De didn't expect was. The reason why this pro-military camp actually turned him away was even more incredible, saying that he did not meet the standards of the pro-military camp, even if he came. No matter how much Henan General Chen Yongfu told him not to be angry, he should be calm, and he was also angry after hearing this reason.
Chen De is just twenty years old, and it is the so-called time when he is young and vigorous, so it is okay for him to endure humiliation for the sake of the overall situation, but it cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, the attitude of the pro-military battalion general who came out to receive him was obviously not perfunctory, nor was it because he was the son of the Henan General Soldier, but it seemed to be official. That's because he didn't live up to the standard. The more this is the case, the more angry Chen Deyue becomes, he has always boasted that he is skilled in bow and horse, and he is good at martial arts, thinking that no matter how elite the Shandong soldiers and horses are, they will not be stronger than my level.
Rage rushes. It's a little bit of a no-brainer, since it's official. Then it's fair to say. Why can't I get into this pro-barracks?
In this case, explain to him something, for example, the soldiers of the pro-barracks cannot join directly. It can only be selected from those soldiers and non-commissioned officers who have performed well in the Jiaozhou battalion, which is obviously inappropriate.
The son of Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Henan. Giving up his official position in Henan and joining the army in vain, these factors add up. It should indeed be a special treatment.
However, this special treatment is not an exceptional admission, but a competition between Chen De and the soldiers in the pro-military camp, and this competition also has the purpose of testing and showing the combat strength of the pro-military battalion. \
Chen De has no meaning to this method, whether it is real money, you can know it as soon as you try it, originally Chen De thought that this kind of competition must be the ability to fight immediately on the ground, bow and sword.
Who thought that the first subject was physical fitness, how many laps to run around the school field, and then grab a certain bar and pull the body off the ground with your arms alone, etc.
In this item, Chen De is not too bad, after all, as a military general, he has been on the battlefield in the past few years, and he has been boiling his body every day, which is not inferior in this regard. Whether it was running or the rest of the tests, he passed the test relatively smoothly, but Chen De was also surprised that the soldier who was competing with him had also completed it, and it was easier than himself.
The next competition was more difficult for Chen De, after a stick of incense burned out, the fire gun shot at least eighteen bullets, Chen De has always been a bow and arrow, although this fire gun can fight, but it is not skilled.
The assessment of things here, has become a lot of excitement, Jiaozhou battalion in Jinan City idlers are here to watch, this Chen De is also considered to be the leader of the Ming army generals, the pro-military camp is naturally the elite of the Jiaozhou battalion, the comparison between the two sides faintly has some Ming army and Jiaozhou battalion to distinguish the meaning of superiority.
Chen De himself knew in his heart that the soldier who was competing with him was selected by himself at random, and the Jiaozhou battalion was already fair and open to the extreme, and he was also extremely confident. \
And before the competition, the Jiaozhou battalion gave him a compromise plan, that is, to participate in the ordinary Jiaozhou battalion troops first, and then select the second-class troops experimental brigade of the pro-military battalion, and then be selected for the garrison brigade based on performance, but at this time, Chen De was already fighting for the excitement, and he didn't think of giving in at all.
Of course, this is also Chen De's desire to see how strong the Shandong soldiers and horses are, what the Jiaozhou battalion that wants to claim the situation and annex the Henan soldiers and horses is like, presumably from this elite pro-soldier unit.
Compared to the time when the firearm was shot, Chen Deke was embarrassed, according to the use of firearms by Shandong soldiers and horses, this specification would definitely not be deliberately difficult for himself, but the control of the firearm was very rusty for him, not to mention the eighteen lead shots when the short incense burned out.
Chen De hesitated, but came up with an idea, that is, to use bows and arrows and firecrackers to compete with each other, anyway, both sides are long-range weapons, and also asked to compete with each other. Although they are not familiar with the control of firearms, the Yu soldiers in Kaifeng City also use firearms to fight, and the accuracy of this weapon is really not worth mentioning. This can be regarded as taking advantage of the other party, the pro-military camp was originally ready to win this Chen De was convinced, and accepted the conditions proposed by the other party.
The competition is a 50-step distance in which a multi-ring target is erected, and after the incense is burned out, the score is calculated according to the bow and lead that hit the target.
Before the game, Chen De was full of confidence. \ thought he would definitely win, but the result was very unexpected, and the result of this game was a heavy defeat for him. Rao is Chen De once practiced hard, a stick of incense in the time. After he opened his bow fourteen times, his shoulders began to ache.
The first eleven arrows were quite accurate, hitting the red heart or almost, but the next arrow shot out was not accurate, the soreness of the arm and shoulder made the bow and arrow not accurate at all, and even missed the target at the sixteenth arrow, after all, it was too physically exhausting to open the bow so many times in such a short time.
Chen De finished shooting sixteen arrows, and the pro-soldier of the pro-soldier battalion who competed with him finished firing nineteen arrows. At this distance, the gun is not far away if it doesn't hit the heart.
In the next riding skills, Chen Deluo has the upper hand, but there is no way to take the opponent's dismount and shoot at all, and the last thing to examine is the command technique, assuming that each person has a certain number of troops in their hands and encounters on a certain terrain. Then they commanded the battle, and this competition was also Chen De's most depressed.
On both sides were troops armed with firearms and spears. But for Chen De. He simply did not know how to use such firearms and cold weapons troops.
Among those Yu soldiers in Henan, firearms were not needed in combat. Try not to use it, after all, the quality of firearms is low. Instead of standing still with a firearm, it is better to hold a knife and gun in your hand. Rush up and fight.
As a result, in the deduction of several terrains, the troops under the command of Chen De were either broken by the opponent's troops either with firearms or spears. Every time Chen De is very attentive to learn the opponent's new land tactics, but the Jiaozhou battalion's combination of firearms and cold weapons is not something he can understand after listening to it for a while, many terms and tactics, he seems to be listening to the book of heaven.
After this competition, Chen De was finally convinced, and finally knew that the soldiers and horses of Shandong were not vain, and he also decided to listen to the other party's arrangement, first sit up from ordinary soldiers, and learn step by step, after all, this set of tactics of the Jiaozhou battalion, including his command system, if there is no experience in the grassroots troops, it is impossible to fully understand.
Chen De participated in several competitions, Li Meng also followed in casual clothes, Li Meng was quite happy about the final result, and he was not happy that he was impressed by this young and vigorous general, and the Jiaozhou battalion had face, but that he was happy that his subordinates had the possibility of becoming a famous general in the future.
In the Jiaozhou battalion system, every soldier and even every officer is a part of the entire army, he only needs to follow the pre-set strategic routine, the Jiaozhou battalion needs every soldier and officer to be trained step by step, so that they can become parts, but also need talented, independent thinking generals, but there is no soil for the growth of such famous generals in this system.
However, the second son of Sun Chuanting, who is alias Sun Xiwu, and this Chen De seem to be the seeds of the future famous generals of the Jiaozhou battalion.
When the imperial court did not issue a clear decree, Li Xianfeng, the governor of the civil and military supreme governor in the isolated city of Kaifeng, Henan, and Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier, made a decision.
Henan's response was very slow, but there was no resistance, and everything was put into Li Meng's hands step by step.
It was not only a huge amount of goods that came to Kaifeng along the waterway of the Yellow River, but also the three regiments of his subordinates led by Yuan Shizhong, a guerrilla from Germany, went upstream, but came to Kaifeng City.
Chen Yongfu, the commander-in-chief of Henan, was not left in Henan by Li Meng as others expected, but led his troops out of Kaifeng City and crossed the Yellow River to the north bank.
Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan, went to the imperial court, saying that now the army is gathered in Zhangde and Weihui, Shanxi is empty, and he is afraid that the barbarians of Outer Mongolia will watch and attack, and he is willing to take 9,000 children of Henan to guard the border pass.
The imperial court felt his loyalty, and the Duke of Qi did not stop it, so he specially ordered Chen Yongfu to be appointed as the general of Datong, and as the former general of Datong's expedition to the west, and took charge of the border towns of Datong.
At the beginning of June of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Datong, set off from Weihui Mansion and went to the imperial border of Datong, Shanxi, and the world admired his loyalty and unyielding heart.
Few people noticed that the 2,000 or so troops under Yuan Shizhong had already been replaced, and these people were all Chen Yongfu's soldiers......
Loudly begging for a monthly pass, thank you for your support, and when it comes to the weekend, all the problems such as back pain are up
