The monthly military salary of twenty taels of silver is definitely an astronomical amount for ordinary soldiers from the border army......

No, don't say twenty taels, just six taels, eight taels, ten taels...... For them, it's something they never dared to think about.

Because, in the border army, there is no backstage, and there is no silver to give gifts to the commander...... It means that you can only be a big soldier for a lifetime, and get a military salary of more than two taels of silver for a lifetime!

Now, when you just join the Haw Par Army, you can get more than twice the original salary......

What's more, in addition to these military salaries, there are dozens of positions with military salaries of eight taels, ten taels, and even twenty taels waiting for them......

Although when I decided to stay in Beizhili and join the Haw Par Army, I heard about how high the salary of the Haw Par Army was. But, after all, it was only heard, and no one really believed it until they got the money.

And then they believed......

On the one hand, the promise of military pay came from the mouth of the battalion commander...... On the other hand, the military salary that will be issued to everyone, the silver for nothing, is placed in front of everyone......

Therefore, after Yang Zhongwei finished speaking, the confused expressions on everyone's faces disappeared completely, and they were covered by a hot expression full of fanaticism. At the same time, he began to be hopeful about his future in the Haw Par Army......

Of course, in addition to hope, there are also some people who have a look of eagerness on their faces......

Many veterans who have been in the army for several years and have strength but are still only a big soldier, after hearing that several platoon commanders and dozens of squad leaders will be produced from among them, their faces are directly replaced by the heat.

Facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They couldn't wait to rush to Yang Zhongwei immediately and show their strength so that they could get the few platoon commander positions......

Under such circumstances, it took Yang Zhongwei less than an hour to determine all the remaining squad and platoon leaders of the first battalion......

When four from the big head soldier one became the platoon commander. and after getting his own twenty taels of silver salary.

The faces of the remaining soldiers immediately showed a variety of different expressions!

There is envy, there is jealousy...... Of course, most of it is envy, and not only that, envy at the same time. I also secretly swore in my heart that I must train hard, make more military achievements, raise my military rank, and get a military salary of dozens of taels of silver every month......

The Fourth Field Army of the Haw Par Army, which has just been formed. Step by step, I got on track and put myself into training......

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed...... Zhao Yun, the former commander of the garrison, also served as the commander of the Fourth Army of the Haw Par Army for half a month......

Just when Zhao Yun was desperately training the soldiers of the two divisions under his command, an order from the palace was sent directly to the headquarters of the Fourth Army......

When Zhao Yun came from outside Beijing, he hurriedly felt the palace. Wei Zheng, Sun Chengzong. and Luo Yangxing, who has cooperated with him once, is already waiting for him in the palace lobby......

Faced with this situation, Zhao Yun's first reaction was that something had happened......

Otherwise. Luo Yangxing, who is responsible for intelligence gathering, will never appear on such an occasion......

Thinking of when he took over as the commander of the Fourth Army, after Wei Zheng explained to himself, a bold idea directly appeared in front of Zhao Yun's eyes...... Then, Zhao Yun walked into the lobby. Before Wei Zheng could speak, he took the lead and asked......

"Lord Wang. Have you decided to send troops to North Korea......

Under Zhao Yun's longing gaze, Wei Zheng did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked rhetorically with a stern face......

"How's the training of your two infantry divisions...... Can you play right away......"

Although Wei Zheng did not answer clearly, this rhetorical question confirmed Zhao Yun's thoughts.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, Zhao Yun's face was quickly covered with excitement, and he replied loudly: "I knew that Lord Wang, you called me over in such a hurry, it must be to fight North Korea......"

When it came to business, the smile on Zhao Yun's face disappeared directly and was covered by Yan Sù......

Facing Wei Zheng, he replied loudly: "Lord Wang, although the two divisions have only been in the army for less than a month...... However, the officers and men of these two divisions are all veterans, and as long as they undergo a certain amount of training, they can quickly develop combat effectiveness......"

"Although it is not as good as the other divisions in terms of overall combat effectiveness, it is not much worse...... More importantly, the morale of the soldiers was very high...... Since they became aware of the various systems of our Haw Par Army, the officers and men have been shouting and training, hoping to go to the battlefield as soon as possible, make meritorious contributions, become officers, get more military salaries, and glorify their ancestors......"

"I don't dare to guarantee anything else, with the two divisions in my hand, there will be absolutely no problem in defeating the North Koreans with low combat effectiveness......"

As a fierce general without any scheming, Wei Zheng's trust in Zhao Yun in many times even exceeds that of Zhou Shuyuan...... After all, Zhao Yun would not have any other thoughts in front of him.

Therefore, after Zhao Yun finished speaking, the worry in Wei Zheng's heart relaxed a lot......

However, this concern has not completely dissipated......

Under Zhao Yun's expectant gaze, Wei Zheng affirmed loudly: "You guessed right, this time, your target is indeed North Korea...... However, in addition to the tens of thousands of Korean troops left in the Korean country, it is very likely that you will also fight a few battles against the Japanese pirates......"

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng said directly to Luo Yangxing beside him......

"The specific situation, Lord Luo knows best...... Let Lord Luo tell you......"

Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes at the same time, Luo Yangxing hurriedly replied: "Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is like this...... On the battlefield in Liaodong, the Korean army lost 20,000 troops, and we all know it...... However, what everyone doesn't know is that almost all of the 20,000 troops are the elite of the North Korean army. ”

"Although the 20,000 troops only accounted for less than 20 percent of the total strength of the North Korean army, the loss of the 20,000 troops directly reduced the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army by more than 40 percent......

"Such a good opportunity, and the Japanese who are across the sea from North Korea, of course, will not let go of ......"

As a result, the Tokugawa shogunate of the Japanese invaded Korea with an army of 50,000 troops...... By now, almost half of North Korea's territory has fallen into the hands of the Japanese invaders...... Therefore, if we send troops now, it is very likely that we will face a joint attack by the North Korean army and the Japanese invaders......"

At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly spoke: "Lord Wang, since this is the case, why don't we wait a little longer, and wait for the Korean army and the Japanese to lose both sides of the battle, and then send troops to North Korea, won't it reduce a lot of trouble?" ”

As soon as Zhao Yun's idea came out, Wei Zheng subconsciously vetoed: "No, with the combat effectiveness of the Korean army, I don't feel that it is the opponent of the Japanese Kou...... Therefore, if we do not send troops now, at the latest in a few months, the Japanese will occupy the whole of Korea......"

"Compared with the poorly equipped Korean army, the fighting power of the Japanese is obviously much stronger...... Once we let the Japanese invade Korea, if we want to enter Korea, we will face the powerful Japanese invaders, and the price we will pay will become very large......"

"More importantly, after the Japanese invaders take Korea, all the wealth that North Korea has accumulated for dozens or hundreds of years will fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders...... And even if we break into Korea and retake Korea from the Japanese invaders, we will not get any benefits......"

"Wealth is one aspect, and there is another aspect that worries the king the most, and that is the iron ......"

"The Wako is an island country, and there are no iron ore mines in a few households in the entire Wako...... And this leads to zhì, the weapons in the hands of the Japanese are all made of copper. Once the Japanese have access to the iron ore of North Korea, the copper weapons in the hands of the Japanese will become iron...... The combat effectiveness will be greatly improved...... So, no matter what, we have to take Pyongyang, the seat of the king of Korea, before the Japanese invaders......"

The Korean army of 70,000 or 80,000, plus 50,000 Japanese soldiers, is almost 120,000 troops. As for himself, there are only two divisions and 12,000 people, almost one of them beating the other side ten......

At this time, even if Zhao Yun was a fierce general, he had no confidence in this trip to North Korea, and he had to hesitate in the face of such a huge disparity in troops.

Just when Zhao Yun's face became more and more solemn, Wei Zheng spoke very quickly......

"The enemy's forces are strong...... However, as long as we are fast and rely on the firepower advantage in our hands, we will definitely be able to break through the opponents all the way without giving them any time to react......

"As long as we take Pyongyang before the Japanese invaders, relying on Pyongyang's city defense, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the tens of thousands of Japanese troops is, they can only touch the gray ...... in the face of our superior firepower."

Wei Zheng's words still have a great influence on Zhao Yun. Because, Zhao Yun's status and ability to fight today, without exception, were all given by Wei Zheng......

Therefore, after Wei Zheng finished speaking, the solemn expression on Zhao Yun's face began to dissipate......

Then, he suddenly shifted his gaze to Luo Yangxing, and asked sternly......

"Lord Luo, knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can win all battles...... If you can get information on the strength of the Japanese Army, then you will definitely be able to get the equipment of the Japanese and the Korean Army...... As long as I know the other side's equipment, I have the confidence to go to North Korea......"

"No problem...... Give me a day, and I'll sort out the relevant information for you......" Luo Yangxing replied without thinking about it......

At this time, Wei Zheng spoke again......

"In the whole territory of Korea, several households are mountainous, and even if you are given cavalry, it is impossible to play the role of cavalry...... However, for the sake of the speed of the soldiers, this king will send you 20,000 war horses from other troops......"

"In addition, in order to increase the firepower and facilitate the march, I will send you a hundred heavy mortars and corresponding artillery from several other divisions...... Of course, the king will also give you a lot of horses to transport artillery and cannonballs......"

In a word, this time to send troops, at least Pyongyang must be taken, and all the wealth accumulated by the Korean royal family for hundreds of years will be brought back to this king...... As for the Japanese invaders who invaded Korea, they could fight as many as they could...... However, it must be remembered that in the course of the battle, losses should be minimized as much as possible...... You must know that in our Tiger and Leopard Army, killing a soldier in battle means that the palace will have to come up with almost five hundred taels of silver...... No matter how rich the palace is, it can't afford to lose tens of thousands of people in a war......" (To be continued)
