Chapter 19: The Great Army Arrives at Luoyang

That night, Zhang Mancheng and others received a notice of reorganization, and at the same time, they were also told that they would return to the autonomous region in the near future. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Mancheng expressed his understanding, but Zhao Hong and the three were a little worried.

"Qu Shuai, is Li Yu planning to lure us away, and then find an opportunity to kill us?" When the herald left, Zhao Hong approached Zhang Mancheng and asked in a low voice.

"If you change someone, maybe Ben Shuai still believes it, but Li Yu's words don't need to be so worried. We are not the first Taiping followers to surrender, and the Bocai tribe has already accepted their captives and resettlement before us. Although Zhang is known as a divine envoy, he is actually inferior to Bocai in terms of prestige. Bocai didn't kill him, what's the point of killing us? Zhang Mancheng replied with a smile.

As soon as I said that, everyone came back to their senses, and the whole person relaxed a little.

The next day's preparation was very smooth, Zhang Mancheng personally handed over the Taiping Sect soldiers to Li Yu, and Li Yu also promised to treat them equally, accept the reorganization from now on, all soldiers and soldiers will be treated equally, and the treatment will be better than before, the difference is that the yellow scarf will no longer be tied. However, in the end, there were still 2,000 diehards, or soldiers who were unwilling to continue fighting, and left with Zhang Mancheng.

This may not be without the meaning of escorting them, after all, it is indispensable to guard against people. Li Yu expressed his understanding and allowed them to follow. It was only through the Momen system that he explained this matter to Huang Zhong and others who stayed behind in the autonomous region. Zhang Mancheng has to beware, and of course he Li Yu must also beware.

When the 2,000 people arrived in the autonomous region, they were bound to be disarmed and, like the Taiping followers in the past, to be separated from residential surveillance. After a number of years, they are issued with a genuine national identity card.

After the handover was completed, it took another three hours to carry out a simple formation, and all the troops were scattered for redeployment. Middle- and low-ranking officers who have made meritorious contributions along the way will be promoted internally.

The 25,000 troops that were finally reorganized, including 20,000 in the main combat unit and 5 in the logistics unit, of which 3,000 were repatriated to the autonomous region along with Zhang Mancheng.

Zhang Mancheng had no objection to this, and began to return with the five thousand people, as well as a small number of agricultural technicians brought by Ouyang Xing. They have a certificate opened by Li Yu, and there shouldn't be any problems going back all the way. However, he still took a detour and went back from Yuzhou to avoid being recognized by the victims in Nanyang County and trying to cause trouble.

Many recruits were promoted to captains, and many were even promoted to captains or captains, and a very few were directly promoted to captains. What no one knows is that the evaluation is not only about their power, but also about their loyalty. Therefore, some people with extremely high ability can only be promoted to captain, but some are relatively inferior, but they are loyal enough, but they become captains.

For Li Yu, this team is his private army, isn't it disgusting to promote a person with dissenting intentions to a high position?

"Okay, there's a bit of a delay, everyone is moving forward at full speed!" Li Yu looked at the time, it started at six o'clock in the morning, and now it is more than twelve o'clock at noon, this is only a preliminary reorganization, I have to say that if it is really reorganized, it may not be able to be done in two or three days. It's a pity that he really doesn't have much time to spend on this.

Naturally, it was nothing to advance at full speed, but the Yellow Turban Army, which had just been recruited, could not stand this kind of long-distance attack, so in desperation, it could only lower its speed, and as a result, it could only advance about fifty miles a day, setting a new minimum speed for the soldiers of the autonomous region.

Just looking at these yellow-skinned, obviously malnourished soldiers, no one can say anything.

"This batch of candies, two pieces per person, ten pieces per lieutenant and high-level civil officials, all of them will be distributed! Remember, I don't want anyone to be greedy for these military dollars! In the evening, Li Yu sent someone to retrieve two large boxes of chocolate candy, and spent 300,000 reputation points on these two boxes.

Each of the 30,000 people can receive two coins, and the generals can get ten coins. It is said that it was originally intended to make chocolate, but it was not enough to mix it with many other things, and it was even embarrassed to say that it was chocolate, so it was sold under the name of chocolate candy.

In any case, it does contain cocoa ingredients, which account for about 40%, otherwise 300,000 points will not be able to buy so much. After all, in these years, cocoa trees have not yet been introduced to China.

"Whoa!" Several lieutenants received the order and immediately arranged for people to distribute the things.

The people of Momen were in charge of overseeing and were always open to complaints and accusations from the soldiers. Now they are starting to run a little short of manpower, and the team is expanding so fast that they can only arrange manpower in the first-level team.

It is not that they have not thought of mobilizing a group of outer disciples in the autonomous region, but there are not many outer disciples over there, and if too many outer disciples are sent out, the daily teaching and work of the autonomous region will be affected.

"Sir, what is this?" Looking at the two black balls wrapped in white paper in his hand, which were a little stiff, the soldier who got it couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Blessed are you, it's said to be called chocolate candy, and it used to come down once in a while, and it tasted great. The point is that after eating, you can feel less tired. The officer in charge of distribution said with a smile, when he forcibly marched some time ago, Li Yu also sent it down once, and the smell is still unforgettable.

In recent years, many people have never eaten candy once in their lives. Most of the sweetness is produced by chewing corn or wheat sufficiently, and the sweetness of chocolate candy is not at all as sweet.

"I'm waiting for inferior people, how can I eat this kind of thing, if you don't keep it, sir!" Some of the slippery soldiers thought about it and handed the candy back.

"Don't do this kind of thing, let's not talk about the Momen guys staring. Tomorrow I can't say that there will be another day to force the army, and then you will not be able to keep up with the team, and it is me who is unlucky to turn back! The officer didn't dare to accept anything, even if he used to be a low-level soldier, but in the army, these days, they already knew what discipline was, and they also knew what Li Yu needed.

Each of them has the opportunity to become a general, so naturally it is impossible to ruin their future here. Besides, just for a few chocolate candies, you can't get it!

For these soldiers who have just been reorganized, it is like a fantasy. In the army, the commander does not bully the soldiers, does not covet the property of the soldiers, and even the generals do not covet the salaries of the soldiers, which is simply unimaginable. Even in the Taiping Sect, the upper echelons often call arbitrarily and even beat and scold the lower echelons.

Eventually, they realized that they were with the right person! That night, when the men of Momen began to give them a night shift to eliminate illiteracy, and even told them what they had told the other officers, many of the non-commissioned officers were even more convinced. Many people carefully tasted the taste of chocolate, which was fragrant and delicious, but they didn't know why it had a hint of saltiness......

When I woke up the next day, many people felt that their spirits seemed to be much better, and their fatigue had decreased a lot.

After a brief training camp, the army moved on. Many of the rules were explained almost exclusively by officers as they walked, popularized and educated during forced marches, and even improvised. In consideration of physical strength, it is mainly carried out for discipline, and there is no education that requires too much physical effort.

Rao is like this, many officers consume more than twice the physical strength of non-commissioned officers. Fortunately, their nutrition kept up during this time, and with the supply of chocolate candy last night, they persevered. It's just that some people ridicule that the most tired people in the army are actually officers, and the ones who enjoy it the most are these low-level soldiers.

This is no joke, officers not only need to learn, but also constantly summarize and reflect. Nor can their own training and military literacy be left behind. The various pressures that an officer has to endure every day are much greater than those of ordinary non-commissioned officers. The higher they go, the greater the pressure, because they are shouldering more people's lives and trust, which is also the idea that Li Yu has always emphasized.

Tired? Tired! But everyone is tired and happy, it's not that everyone likes to be abused, but fulfillment, the key is to feel a relatively equal treatment here, including promotion! Family background will be weakened here, and grades are the criteria for promotion assessment (in fact, loyalty is also included). Under this premise, everyone saw the hope of promotion and becoming a senior officer.

In the Han army, many officers and soldiers from poor families and even ordinary people can only be military marquis for a lifetime, and if they are unlucky, they can only be Qu Chang. Captains, military commanders, and even higher-level generals, partial generals, lieutenant generals, and various generals, there are almost no who can be purely from poor families or ordinary people.

Zhu Jun may be a special case, but that kind of illusory luck is really not reliable at all

It took about six hours before and after, and Luoyang City was already in sight. This means that in two days, they went directly north from the Qinling Mountains to Luoyang, a distance of nearly 120 miles before and after.

In modern times, it only takes half an hour to reach on the highway. However, it is very rare for an army of 30,000 men to arrive in a day, considering the heavy protection and the very bad condition of the roads.

Maybe it's moving forward so fast that Luo Yang hasn't reacted at all. Zhang Mancheng, who initially obtained the information, was heading north, and Li Yu's department was still in the Luyang area. Perhaps he didn't expect that in less than three days, Li Yu not only defeated Zhang Mancheng's troops, but even waved his army north to reach Luoyang.

Zhang Mancheng's army has 30,000 people, and according to intelligence, Li Yu's department only has 10,000 people, and now this army has obviously exceeded 10,000 people.

The forbidden army was dispatched as soon as possible and prepared for defense, but when the army approached, they couldn't help but hesitate when they saw the Han flag on the flag. Even several generals of the forbidden army couldn't help but wonder where this friendly army came from.

"Who is the commander of the army under the city? Hurry up and answer! Liu Hong even went up to the city wall in person, and naturally someone was on the city wall for the first time and shouted towards Li Yubu.

"The head of the autonomous region, the rebellious general Li Yu, has been ordered to come to the rescue of Luoyang! Two days ago, in the Qinling Mountains, Zhang Mancheng was defeated, 10,000 thieves were begged, and more than 10,000 were captured and incorporated into his command to facilitate control! The thieves are all heads, and Zhang Mancheng's several thieves are also among them, please count them! Li Yu stepped out of the ranks and shouted towards the city gate.

At the same time, a large number of carts were pushed out, and inside were a large pile of human heads, which had been simply nitrated. However, the tens of thousands of human heads, even if they are far apart, still feel so gloomy.

However, for the people on the city wall of Luoyang, it was a big sigh of relief at this moment...... (To be continued.) )
