In the original headquarters of the Haw Par Army, which has been named the 'General's Mansion', dozens of officers above the platoon commander of the Haw Par Army all quietly waited for the order to expand the Haw Par Army from the Wei Zheng in front of them with anticipation and excitement.

Wei Zheng, who was dressed in military uniform, looked around at all the officers sitting in front of him with a stern expression, and said with a rare dignified face: "Brothers, soldiers...... Among you, there are old people who have been following me Wei Zheng, that is, bandits, and newcomers who later joined my Haw Par Army. ”

"The reason why everyone joined my Haw Par Army is to put it simply, the first goal is to survive. If it is more complicated, it is for ourselves and our brothers to fight for a way to survive and a future in this troubled world. ”

"Now, what I want to tell you is that we have all survived for the time being, and we have also given you a future that can be said to be the past."

"Because, our Tiger and Leopard Army has been recognized by the imperial court, and the emperor and the imperial court have given us a battalion of officers and soldiers in order to reward us for our achievements in killing Tartars in Mushroom Valley. That is to say, from now on, including me, every soldier of our Tiger and Leopard Army will no longer be bandits, the so-called rebels, but officers and soldiers recognized by the imperial court. ”

"I'm sure you're no stranger to this news, so I won't say much about it here."

"Now, what I want to tell you is, after we become officers and soldiers, does it mean that we will no longer have to worry about our lives in the future, and we can be officers and soldiers without any worries, eat military salaries, live a good life, and have no worries about living."

"No, I want to make it clear to you that this idea will never be realized on us at present."

Seeing the shocked and puzzled expressions slowly emerging on everyone's faces, Wei Zheng continued to explain.

"There is one thing that you may not know, although our Tiger and Leopard Army has been recognized by the imperial court, but the imperial court does not issue salaries to our Tiger and Leopard Army, including our Wei Zheng, it is impossible to receive one or two silver from the imperial court."

"However, everyone should also know that I issued a military order a few days ago, and I plan to pay all the soldiers of my Haw Par Army from this month. Not only that, but the salary I set for our Haw Par Army is still the highest standard that only the border army has among all the officers and armies of our Ming Dynasty. ”

"Do you know what that means? This means that our Haw Par Army needs at least 20,000 taels of silver every month. ”

"With so much money, where should our Haw Par Army come from?"

"Here, I can clearly tell everyone that the imperial court is unreliable, and we can only rely on ourselves."

"For us at the moment, there is only one source of silver, and that is to snatch it from the Tartars. When the Tartars are in possession, we will have only one last source of silver, and we will occupy a piece of our own territory in the pass. ”

"With territory, we will have military salaries and a steady stream of soldiers."

"Not only that, but when we have a piece of land that is completely our own, we can give our brothers a home, let them marry wives, have children, and live a good life......

In the face of the bright future that Wei Zheng drew for everyone, every Haw Par Army officer showed an expression of expectation and yearning on his face.

At this moment, Wei Zheng's words suddenly changed, and he said unexpectedly: "What I just said should be the wish of every brother, but will others allow our Haw Par Army to fulfill our own wish?" ”

"If nothing else, will the Tatars close at hand keep our Tiger and Leopard Army alive until the end of the battle?"

"Of course, even if we defeat Dol Roll again, will we still be reused by the imperial court if we lose our effectiveness? After the imperial court and the emperor no longer reuse us, will the major local forces in the Guannai allow our Haw Par Army to occupy a piece of territory that belongs entirely to our Haw Par Army in the Guannai in peace and stability? ”

After some rhetorical questioning, everyone closed their mouths with a face full of unwillingness.

The dozens of officers of the Haw Par Army sitting here, even if they are not from the official army, have been persecuted by the imperial court and ordinary people. Even if you haven't seen what the imperial court has been doing, you have heard about it.

Therefore, after Wei Zheng finished speaking, everyone already agreed with what Wei Zheng said from the bottom of their hearts.

After seeing everyone's instantly depressed expressions in their eyes, Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly flashed with two murderous gazes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he yelled at everyone: "Could it be that everyone was frightened by what I said, where is your courage?" Don't forget, what is the origin of our Haw Par Army? Such a difficult situation more than half a month ago has passed, let alone now. ”

"In a word, if the Tartars don't let us live, then we will defeat the Tartars. If the court doesn't give us land, then we will grab a piece of land. Don't forget, we are a tiger and leopard army that even the Tartars can defeat, let alone the official army of the imperial court. ”

"However, what I want to emphasize here is that whether it is fighting Tartars or entering the customs to grab territory, there is one condition, that is, we must have an army that is always strong enough and strong enough to make the imperial court fearful."

"Since the imperial court has given us a battalion of the Tiger and Leopard Army, that is, an army quota of 3,500 soldiers, then we must make good use of it and not live up to the good intentions of the imperial court."

"So far, we, the Haw Par Army, together with all the recruits, have 4,500 men. In that case, then we will use the 4,500 men in our hands to form an invincible new army of tigers and leopards. ”

"In order to distinguish our Haw Par Army from the Wolang Army of the Imperial Court, the establishment of the Haw Par New Army is not the same as that of the Imperial Army. The establishment below the battalion level remains unchanged, as in our previous form. However, those above the battalion are different from the thousand households in the imperial court and are called regiments. ”

"After the formation of the new army of tigers and leopards, there were two blind assault regiments, called the tiger regiment and the leopard regiment respectively."

"In addition to these two assault regiments, there was an artillery battalion armed only with heavy artillery, a musket regiment with all-musketeers, and a cavalry regiment with an all-cavalry battalion."

"The two assault regiments were each blinded by a musket battalion, a pike battalion, a cavalry battalion, and an artillery team equipped with light artillery, with a total of 1,000 men in the whole regiment."

"The musket regiment has three musket battalions and an artillery corps armed with light artillery."

"The cavalry regiment has three cavalry battalions and an artillery corps equipped with light artillery."

"The heavy artillery battalion is all equipped with heavy Franc and medium Franc aircraft, and the specific establishment is determined according to the actual number of artillery in the hands of our Haw Par Army."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng suddenly stood up from his seat and continued to order with a stern expression.

"Now I order: Wang Feng, promoted to the head of the Tiger Regiment. Military Division, Temporary Acting Commander of the Leopard Regiment. I personally served as the commander of the musket regiment, Zhao Yun was promoted to the commander of the cavalry regiment, and Li Weiguang was promoted to the commander of the artillery battalion. The appointment of other captains and above shall be announced by the military division. ”
