Chapter 368: The Ninth Battalion of the Yong'an Army

Time flies, and half a month has passed since the recruitment of the Yongan Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early in the morning of November 16, the fourth year of Chongzhen, there were constantly generals with helmets and armor entering the mansion of the general soldiers of Datong Town, and they all joked a few words after meeting each other, and then walked into the hall together.

Soon, both sides of the lobby were full of generals who came to discuss the matter, and they were really a group of tigers and bears.

The enthusiasm of the military and civilians in Ulzhou to join the army is like a volcano erupting, until the number of troops on all sides is full, there are still many people who have not been able to join the army, and they are reluctant to leave for a long time.

At this moment, above the lobby, the generals of the Yong'an Army were laughing at each other's strange things that had been encountered in the past half a month since the recruitment of soldiers, laughing while talking.

Standing in front of these military attaches were naturally five old men, Huang Yang, Shi Lu, Shi Gang, Wang Dayong, and Liu Tong, who also patted their shoulders and exchanged pleasantries.

As he was talking, a loud sound of armor came, and everyone immediately stopped talking and looked out the door, and saw a person wearing a full set of golden iron armor, walking into the lobby step by step.

The person who came was naturally Xiao Yi, the current chief military officer of Datong Town, and after Xiao Yi strode into the lobby, the generals of the Yongan Army on both sides immediately clenched their fists and said loudly.

"Meet the General!"

This is what Xiao Yi deliberately requested, his subordinates are not commensurate with the military gate, one is to show respect for the deceased Han Shimeng, and the other is that Xiao Yi really doesn't like the title of the military gate, and always feels that it is not as catchy as the general.

Walking to the northernmost side, Xiao Yi looked around the hall and said, "Brothers have been busy a lot in the past half month, and they have been going back and forth, so I will thank you all here!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was not surprised at all, although Xiao Yi became bigger and bigger, he had never had the official authority of other people at all, and treated his subordinates like brothers.

In the current Yong'an Army, Xiao Yi's doing this not only does not make people look down on him, but makes the army more united, and there is no other town's 'upper than the lower is not the lower rank' situation, and everyone is like a good brother.

Shi Gang laughed, hugged his fists and said: "The general still said that we are, my old Shi can see that you are not much better than us!" ”

Huang Yang also smiled and said: "If you want me to say, the busiest in the army in the past half a month is actually the general, and the last general often sees the general sleepless all night and is worried." ”

At this time, Gu Lin hugged his fists and said: "The general must take care of his body, the Yongan Army can't do without the general!" ”

Qi Zhan took a step forward and said loudly: "Not to mention the Yong'an Army, I think that if this Ming Dynasty leaves the general, he will not be able to protect the capital..."

Although Qi Zhan was originally a *** senior officer of the Yong'an Army for so long, he also learned a lot, and he knew what to say and what not to say, and he just stopped at the point.

Xiao Yi saw everyone's sincere eyes, hugged his fists again, and said, "Everyone sit down and discuss the expansion of the army in detail." ”

After speaking, after everyone sat down, Xiao also set his eyes on Huang Yang.

Huang Yang is the deputy commander of the Yong'an Army, and when he saw everyone's eyes coming, he just sat down and got up again, first hugged his fist towards Xiao Yiyi, and then said something while pacing in the hall.

“… This is a booklet, please read it by the general! ”

Hmm, Xiao Yi took the document and looked at it carefully for a while, got up and muttered: "This fifth expansion of the army, the general wants to set up nine battalions, all of which are in the regular army, and still use the battalion formation, what do the generals think?" ”

The rest of the people each glanced at each other and said in unison: "We all listen to the general!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yi looked at Huang Yang and said, "Huang Yang, this time, as the official of the Wei commander, you serve as the commander of the town, and also lead a battalion officer. ”

When Huang Yang heard this, although he was very happy in his heart, his face seemed unfazed, and he didn't have much emotional fluctuations, just hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the general's order!" ”

Seeing that Huang Yang's performance was becoming more and more mature, Xiao Yi also nodded secretly, then looked at Shi Lu, and said: "Shi Lu, this time, you are the commander of Tongzhi, with the rank of guerrilla general, and also the commander of the second battalion. ”

Shi Lu heard the same, and stepped forward with a calm face, clenching his fists to receive the order.

Next is Shi Gang, Shi Gang is still the commander of the third battalion, although this guy can guess in advance, he still yells excitedly.

Xiao Yi looked at Wang Dayong and said, "Dayong, this time you come to take the four battalions, and if you don't accept it at night, you will hand it over to Liu Sheng." ”

Wang Dayong glanced at Xiao Yi in surprise, looking surprised and happy, Shi Gang and the others were happy for him, Liu Sheng said with a smile.

"Brother Dayong, I have finally become a battalion officer, and my mother knows that I am happy!"

Wang Dayong glanced at Liu Tong with a smile, and then stepped forward and clasped his fists and shouted: "The last general will take the general's order, and he will live up to his high hopes!" ”

Xiao Yi nodded, looked at the queue, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Liqing!" ”

There was silence in the queue for a moment, Yang Liqing looked at Shi Gang and the others with envy, and suddenly heard his name and couldn't react, and immediately got out of the queue excitedly after reacting.

"The last general!"

Xiao Yidao: "This time, I will promote you to the general manager of Qian, as the commander of the fifth battalion, I hope you will lead the fifth battalion well and live up to the trust of the general!" ”

Yang Liqing's fists trembled a little, and he knelt down and said: "The general can rest assured, the last general will not embarrass the Yongan army, and he will fight bravely to kill the enemy in this life and repay the general's kindness!" ”

Xiao Yi patted Yang Liqing's shoulder, which also made Yang Liqing's whole body tremble violently, obviously excited.

In fact, Yang Liqing was the battalion officer of these five battalions, and everyone had nothing to say, many times he rushed to the front regardless of his body, and the training was even more day and night.

It is precisely because of his firm will that Yang Liqing surpassed Gu Lin, Qi Zhan, Gao Liang and a number of Liaodong veterans.

Even in the fiercely competitive Yong'an Army, it still stood out and was recorded in the literature book with the assessment and evaluation of 'the first combat merit in the whole army', and now it is a miracle that he has finally been promoted to the position of battalion officer.

In addition, the Yebu detachment expanded again, and finally formed a battalion with a scale called the 'Flying Cavalry Battalion', which became one of the two major cavalry battalions of the Yong'an Army, with Liu Sheng as the battalion officer.

And the other cavalry battalion is the heavy cavalry, called the 'Domain Cavalry Battalion'.

Domain cavalry, during the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao State implemented Hufu cavalry archery and formed a domain cavalry, which was the earliest formed cavalry unit in China, and its national strength was growing day by day and becoming a powerful country.

The cavalry battalion is naturally Zhou Baotai's successor battalion officer.

Xiao also named the two cavalry battalions after the flying cavalry and the domain cavalry respectively, which also shows the expectation of the two, and now Liu Sheng and Zhou Baotai are still just excited.

Later, when the two of them knew the meaning of these two names, they realized Xiao Yi's good intentions that day, so they worked harder.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

In addition, there are also firearms battalions and baggage battalions, the firearms battalion officer is still Liu Tong, and the baggage battalion is replaced by Gu Lin.

Gu Lin is one of the veterans of Liaodong, and Xiao Yi has known him well for a long time, brave and not afraid of death in wartime, and hard work and diligence, but these are not the most rare.

The rare thing is that Gu Lin's temperament is very stable, and he is very suitable for managing the baggage camp, and after considering the candidates for a few days, Xiao Yi finally decided to use Gu Lin.

Gu Lin's expression was very interesting after hearing Xiao Yi's words, at first he was still standing there motionless with his eyes squinted respectfully, and only then did he react when he saw everyone looking at him, and opened his big eyes to look around.

Wondered, "What do you all see me doing?"

After Gu Lin finished speaking, Gao Liang on his side slapped him hard with his elbow, and said, "You kid has made another mistake, you have been appointed by the general as the commander of the baggage battalion, damn you, you are so sad!" ”

"What! What did you say? How is this..."

Gu Lin's eyes widened at that time, and when he saw Xiao Yi with a smile on his face, and saw that his colleagues and brothers around him didn't seem to be cheating, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and half-knelt down and said, "General... Generals, last generals... The last general will take the order!! ”

Xiao Yi picked up Gu Lin, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Gu Lin, you have been following Ben General from Liaodong to now for more than two years, and this baggage camp will be handed over to you to bring, and Ben Jiang can rest assured!" ”

"General..."

Gu Lin was moved, hugged his fists again, and shouted with a glance: "General, don't worry, if the baggage and grain and grass are lost, I, Gu Lin, will not be speechless to face my mother and your brothers!" ”

Haha laughed, Xiao Yi said hello, turned around and walked a few steps to the top of the place, with a solemn expression.

"After you return to the barracks, take your respective soldiers to the school outside the city to assemble, distribute military flags, ordnance, armor and uniforms, and start training on the same day!"

Seeing Xiao Yi's cautious expression, everyone stopped laughing, they were all in the same color, and they hugged their fists together.

"We will obey the general's orders!"
