Chapter Eighty-Nine: New Life

After the news of He Tengxiao's promotion to the battalion and the expansion of the army spread, there was not much surprise to the forces of all parties in Liaodong. Promotion based on military merit is a very normal way for the warriors of the empire, or it can be said to be the only way.

However, when the name of this army was spread, it was like a pebble thrown into calm water, and it exploded into waves.

The Xiao Cavalry Battalion of the He family was rebuilt half a year after its destruction, and the new Xiao Cavalry Battalion will be a hundred households of the previous Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the military flag of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is still the military flag of the original Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the basic backbone of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is the surviving pawns of the original Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

All forces have shown strong interest in the reconstruction of the Xiaocai Battalion, and as the new battalion commander of the Xiaocai Battalion: He Tengxiao, has become the focus of attention of all forces in Liaodong.

On the day of the formation ceremony, He Tengxiao enjoyed an unprecedented scenery as a battalion general. The commander of the Qin army, the governor of Liaodong, Peng Chaodong, personally came to watch the formation ceremony of the Xiao cavalry battalion, in addition to Peng Chaodong, there were also Huang Yongtao, the king of Pingliao, and his son Huang Jinjiang, Wu Tingzhen, the patriarch of the Wu clan, He Shihu of Gaizhou as He Tengxiao's boss will naturally not be absent, He Shibao of Jinzhou is He Tengxiao's third uncle, such an important thing can't be said if he doesn't come, of course, He Fangxiong, who supported He Tengxiao behind the scenes to rebuild the Xiao cavalry camp, also came, and He Fangxiong came with He Tengxiao's father who hadn't seen him for several years. In short, the people who came were all well-known people in Liaodong, which was unprecedented in the previous formation ceremonies of the battalions in Liaodong.

After the formation ceremony, everyone showed different attitudes towards the establishment of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. He Tengxiao was sponsored by Peng Chaodong as a battalion general, and under unfavorable circumstances in the Liaodong war, an elite battalion that had severely damaged the Liao army was rebuilt, which undoubtedly played a role in strengthening the morale of the Liaodong army and increasing the morale of the Zhao army. As long as the He family is iron-hearted to resist Liao, Peng Chaodong is also the beneficiary of the reconstruction of the Xiaocai camp.

Of course, not all forces showed a friendly attitude towards the He family's rebuilding of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. The Huang clan of the Pingliao King was full of hostility towards the reconstruction of the Xiaocai camp. The people present are all seasoned experts, and their vision is naturally not bad.

The Xiao Cavalry Battalion performed quite well in the army formation ceremony, and the old soldiers in armor were murderous Needless to say, these old soldiers are all baby bumps wherever they are placed. But those recruits in neat new military uniforms, although they were not murderous, were lined up in a neat and orderly manner. The movements of walking and steering are neat, crisp and neat. It is comfortable to look at, and it is very suspicious that these soldiers will be recruits who have just been recruited.

Of course, they didn't know that this was the method that He Tengxiao had trained for hundreds of years in the future. Walking in line, walking in unison, and walking right is a compulsory course for He Tengxiao when he first enlisted in the army in his later life, and He Tengxiao will never forget the two and a half months after he just joined the army, he was tortured by the squad leader without white skin, and was tortured from a white and pure graduate college student to a dark and strong soldier.

These things may seem useless, but through these series of training, they can go a long way in training a group of loose vagrants into disciplined and organized soldiers.

"You have a hand in training, and you can train two thousand new soldiers like this in just ten days, and the old man can't do it, how did you do it." Peng Chaodong is known for knowing soldiers and being good at training, after watching the performance of the new soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion at the army formation ceremony, Peng Chaodong had to admit that He Tengxiao did have a hand in training, and in the Qin army, he had not yet found that the general had the ability to train 2,000 new soldiers into the new soldiers of He Teng Xiaoxiao Cavalry Battalion in just ten days.

"It's just a trick." He Tengxiao smiled, "I'm afraid that the combat strength of these new soldiers is only one-fifth of that of the soldiers of the Qin army." ”

"The governor of the Qin army has been practicing for thirty years, and you can reach one-fifth of the old man Qin's army after practicing for ten days, isn't it enough?" Peng Chaodong teased that at this time, Peng Chaodong did not look like the Governor's Mansion at all, like a peer who communicated with He Tengxiao to train recruits.

He Fangxiong walked tremblingly, grinning from beginning to end, revealing a few teeth. He Mingye followed closely behind He Fangxiong, He Fangxiong resolutely did not use crutches today, and walked to finish the formation ceremony of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. Leaving the crutches, He Fangxiong walked swaying, and He Mingye was worried all the way, for fear that He Fangxiong would suddenly fall. The old man is over 70 years old, and his body bones are not good, how can he withstand this fall?

The father and son of the Huang family and Yan Pu kept their faces calm along the way, and the rebuilt Xiaoqi camp seemed to have become their heart disease at this time. It has only been more than ten days, this team has already had the prototype of a strong army, and in time, the combat power of the newborn Xiaocai Battalion surpassed that of the Huang family's Xuanwu Battalion, and it was uncertain to replace the Xuanwu Battalion and become the most powerful battalion in the Liaodong family again.

In the first battle of Yingzhou, the He family did not hesitate to bear the infamy of deserters and secretly ordered the Xuanwu battalion to retreat south, leaving the Xiaocai battalion and fighting alone with the wolf-like Liao army in order to make the Xiaocai battalion, the first strong battalion of the Liaodong family, disappear from then on, and the Huang family sits firmly in the position of the first family in Liaodong.

He Fangxiong looked at the Huang family's father and son eating deflated along the way, and his heart was sweeter than eating honey, and he was happy. The Huang family and the He family have been fighting for the position of the first family in Liaodong for more than 200 years, and the position of the first family in Liaodong has changed hands several times.

"Why is the soldier of the cavalry battalion tied with a red medal on his left arm?" Peng Chaodong pointed to the red armband embroidered with the three big characters of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion on the left arm of the soldier of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and asked He Tengxiao.

The style of the new military uniform of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is the same as the style of the current military uniform of the Dazhao Zhen Army, the only difference is the color, the military uniform of the Dazhao Zhen Army is red, and the military uniform customized by He Tengxiao for the new soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is all black. On his left arm, he was tied with a red armband embroidered with three large characters of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. This kind of dress looks very strange in the Great Zhao Army, and Peng Chaodong is the first time he has seen it.

The Great Zhao Empire had strict requirements for the clothing of the town army, which was unified in red, but there was no great requirement for the clothing of the private soldiers of the four major families in Liaodong. The military uniforms of the He family's private soldiers are not red, they are gray, and He Tengxiao's change of the military uniforms of the Xiao cavalry battalion to black did not violate Da Zhao's regulations. As long as the color of the military uniform is not changed to the yellow of the arrogant, Peng Chaodong is acceptable, and the Great Zhao Empire is also acceptable. As long as He Tengxiao has money, he can toss it as he wants.

"The soldiers are all big and coarse, and many of them can't even tell the difference between left and right, so they wear a red epaulette so that the soldiers can distinguish between left and right." He Tengxiao said with a smile.

"Haha." Peng Chaodong couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I see, good idea, good idea." ”

Peng Chaodong couldn't understand why He Tengxiao tied a red epaulette on the soldier's left arm, and he couldn't imagine that it was as simple as distinguishing left and right.
