"Zhang Shun is willing to kill the enemy with Brother Yang!" Zhang Shun shouted loudly.

"We are also willing to kill the enemy with Brother Yang!" The soldiers shouted.

"Kill! Fight the enemy! A soldier shouted in the distance.

Immediately, the soldiers on the entire city wall roared: "Kill the enemy! Fight the enemy! ”

The roar of the Ming army on the city wall shook the mountains, and Jian Lu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it, and the horses couldn't help but slow down, but Jian Lu immediately reacted, urged the horses, and pounced on the people who rushed over desperately.

Even if the unarmed civilians were desperate, they would not do much harm to the heavily armed captives, and they themselves knew that rushing forward was just sending them to death.

But their purpose is to send them to death, and they want to use their flesh and blood to stop the charge of the Jianyu Iron Cavalry, and buy time for the defenders to rescue the people under the city.

And they did!

When the Jianju had finished killing the civilians and rushed to the moat, the defenders had pulled the last man up the wall.

Seeing Jianlu holding the bow and arrow and putting it down, and then slowly retreating, the people who escaped death were grateful, and fell to their knees in unison, kowtowing to the soldiers and thanking them.

Yang He turned his head to look outside the city, only to see the corpses outside the city all over the field, straight like hell, and then listened to the people who escaped death and kept thanking him, Yang He only felt ashamed.

Suddenly, Yang He felt someone gently pat him on the shoulder, Yang He looked back, but saw Luo Cheng standing behind him.

"Yang He, now is not the time to be sad, you quickly arrange for someone to send these people to the treasury to receive supplies." Luo always whispered.

Yang He was stunned: How do you let me arrange it?

Seeing that there was a deep meaning in Luo Yicheng's eyes, Yang He didn't have time to think about it, and said to Li Wei, who was standing behind Luo Yicheng: "Li Wei, you take the villagers to the treasury to receive supplies." ”

Looking back at the thin clothes of those people, especially the blue lips of a few children, and their bodies trembled, Yang He continued: "Then give them warm clothes." ”

"Yes!" Li Wei replied loudly.

The people kowtowed again and again after hearing this: "Thank you to the military master, thank you to the military master, we will repay the military master for saving his life in the future!" ”

Yang He sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go, get the supplies and hurry out of the city." ”

Seeing that the people were still kowtowing, Li Wei said: "Let's go, Brother Yang still has military affairs to deal with." ”

"Yes, yes." The people kowtowed a few more times before they got up.

After Li Wei led the people down the city wall, Luo Yi looked at Yang He and sighed: "Yang He, you have done a good job, these people will be your people in the future, and these soldiers will also look at you in the future, now, I can rest assured." ”

Yang He shook his head, sighed and said, "Dashuai, shame!" ”

Luo also sighed: "Yes, it's really embarrassing!" ”

After a pause, Luo Yi continued: "Yang He, you have to remember that only when you have soldiers in your hands can you avenge these people, so you must firmly grasp the power of the army." Also, there is no problem with your resourcefulness and insight, and now that you have popularity, what you lack is experience in commanding troops and actual combat experience, so you must learn how to command troops and fight wars with your heart in the future. ”

"Yang He will never live up to the expectations of the handsome." Yang He said with a heavy fist.

Luo Yi nodded, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "Yang He listens to the order, the general will now promote you to the commander of the pro-guard battalion, command the generals of the pro-guard battalion, and counsel the military affairs." ”

Hearing that Luo had always suddenly ordered Yang He to be promoted, and that he was promoted to the general manager of the pro-guard battalion, everyone present was stunned for a while.

The first to react were the soldiers of Luo Yiyi's personal guard battalion, because they had already known that Luo Zheng was going to hand them over to Yang He after the battle, and they were already prepared in their hearts, so they were just stunned for a moment before reacting.

Dozens of guards lined up in front of Yang He, knelt on one knee, clasped their fists with both hands and said, "See Master Qian." ”

The second person who reacted was Zhang Shun and others, Yang He went in and out of the General Military Mansion all day long, and rarely was with the brothers, Zhang Shun and the others had long seen that Luo Yi and others were going to promote him, but they didn't expect it to be promoted so quickly and in such a high position.

Seeing the soldiers of the guard battalion seeing Yang He, Zhang Shun and the others immediately reacted, stepped forward, knelt down on one knee at Yang He and hugged his fists and said, "See Lord Qian." ”

Seeing that everyone saluted him, Yang He reacted at this time, and hurriedly hugged his fists at Luo and said, "Xie Dashuai is promoted." ”

He also clasped his fists and saluted the soldiers in return: "Brothers, get up, everyone is a brother, there is no need to be polite." ”

"Mr. Xie Qian." The people answered.

When everyone got up, Heiyunhe walked over, patted Yang He's shoulder lightly and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Yang." ”

Yang He smiled bitterly: "Where will I lead the troops, Dashuai is going to roast me on the fire!" ”

Hei Yunhe smiled: "Brother Yang is too humble, with your ability, what is the difficulty of commanding hundreds of soldiers?" ”

Yang He shook his head: "Please give more guidance to Shen Rong in the future." ”

Black Cloud Crane smiled: "My brother is polite. ”

Yang He also smiled: "You will not be polite." ”

Seeing that the two of them were still polite, Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, you two have to be close, and there will be opportunities in the future." Jianyu will soon attack in a big way, Yunhe, you hurry up and lead your brothers to prepare for defense. Yang He, you come with me, I have a few words to say to you. ”

Hearing this, Heiyun Crane hugged his fist at Luo Yi, patted Yang He's shoulder lightly, turned around and waved his hand to the soldiers, and the soldiers hurriedly returned to their respective positions when they saw it.

After everyone dispersed, Yang He helped Luo Cheng to sit on the chair behind the suspension bridge, tightened the big box on Luo Chengyi's body, and picked up the quilt to cover Luo Chengyi's body.

Luo Cheng sighed and said, "Okay, don't get it, I have something to say to you." ”

"Boss, please speak." Yang He said busily.

Luo **: "Yang He, I'm just a deputy chief soldier, I can only carry you to this extent, and your rank of Qianzong must be officially recognized and canonized by the imperial court." If I didn't die, there would definitely be no problem with your position as the general manager, but the way I am now, it's hard to say whether those people in the military department can agree.

But there is one thing you don't have to worry about, my personal guard battalion can't be commanded by anyone except you and me, even if the imperial court doesn't recognize you, the commander of the Qianzong, you are still the commander of the personal guard battalion, do you understand what I mean? ”

Yang He nodded silently when he heard this.

Yang He knew that the so-called personal guard battalion was actually Luo's private army, that is, the family soldiers, and Luo had always handed over these people to him to command, which was equivalent to changing the master of these family soldiers. As long as he doesn't change the treatment of these family soldiers, then these people won't betray him. And Luo has always prepared a large amount of money for him, which is used for him to raise soldiers, and he will not be stupid enough to cut the treatment of these people.

After a pause, Luo Yi continued: "In terms of position, I can only hand over the personal guard battalion to you, but what I want to hand over to you is not only the personal guard battalion, but also these soldiers in the city. ”

Yang He said: "Dashuai, there are two guerrillas, General Hei Shen, Li Maochun, and Zhang Mingxian, how can I be qualified to command the troops?" ”

Luo Yi waved his hand and said: "I told you, they are all people who understand, they know how many catties and taels they have, and they also know that with their ability, they can only become cannon fodder for others in the end, and if they want to survive, they can only follow you." ”

"Marshal, did you tell the three of them that you were going to hand over the troops to me?" Yang He said.

Luo always smiled: "You are thoughtful, and you know the end when you raise your head, which is also what I am optimistic about you." You're right, I did tell the three of them, otherwise how can I be sure they'll support you?

You must understand that without the support of the three of them, you would not be able to control this army, because your position is too low, and these soldiers are different from my personal guard battalion, they are the army of the imperial court, even if they believe in you and are willing to obey your orders, you cannot command them, otherwise, someone will charge you with rebellion.

Therefore, if you want to lead this army, you must fake Heiyunhe, Li Maochun and Zhang Mingxian. ”

Yang He nodded slightly.

Luo Zheng continued: "Since you understand this, then you have to tolerate some of the things they do. ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with General Hei Shen, Guerrilla Li, and Brother Zhang?" Yang He wondered.

"Do you know they eat empty quotas?" Gauze**.

Yang He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded lightly: "I've heard of it." ”

"That's what I'm talking about, you have to tolerate them eating empty quotas." Gauze**.

Sighing softly, Luo Yi continued: "I'll be honest with you, in fact, not only do they eat empty quotas, but I also eat empty quotas. ”

Yang He was silent for a while and said, "I know, and I understand why you eat empty quotas. ”

Luo Yi looked at Yang He in surprise and said, "Do you understand why we eat empty quotas?" ”

Yang He nodded: "I understand." ”

"Do you really understand?" Luo always asked.

Yang He sighed lightly and said: "Dashuai, I used to hear Brother Zhang Shun say that there were many generals in the Ming Dynasty who ate empty quotas and raised private soldiers, to be honest, at the beginning, I was very disdainful of this kind of behavior."

But when I saw the performance of the commander's personal soldiers in Quang Ninh City to put down the rebellion, my opinion changed.

These soldiers fought bravely, far better than ordinary soldiers, and far more loyal than ordinary soldiers, and they really deserved to be paid more than ordinary soldiers.

But the marshal's salary is limited after all, and it is impossible to afford so many soldiers and such a high military salary. The only way to do this is to overstate the number of soldiers and use the extra money to pay these soldiers.

Some generals eat empty quotas to make money, and I despise such people, but the marshal eats empty quotas in order to pay the soldiers, and I only have respect for the marshal. In the same way, the black ginseng eats them empty in order to pay the soldiers, and I respect them equally. ”

Luo Cheng looked at Yang He silently when he heard this, and after a while, he sighed and said: "It's hard for you to think like this, but many things are not what you think, Black Cloud Crane They eat empty quotas, at least half of them are put into their own pockets, and I have also made a lot of money." ”

"Why didn't I see that?" Yang He wondered.

Luo always smiled: "Actually, you only need to count the number of people we falsely reported."

My personal guard battalion is less than 200 people, but the battalion is used, 200 people receive more than 500 military salaries, even if the military salaries of the personal soldiers are high, there is no need to falsely report so many people, where are the extra military salaries? Black Cloud Crane has only more than 30 personal soldiers, but they have made up two sentry posts, where does the rest of the money go? ”
