Chapter 660: Purpose
In the royal palace of Pyongyang, Ren Zuzheng listened to the report of the front-line generals on how the Tiger and Leopard Army had eliminated more than 1,000 Houjin Tartars on the battlefield at a negligible loss cost, and forced the remnants of the Tartars, so that they had to give up all their horses and supplies and hide in the mountains......
After finishing, he asked directly with a disbelieving expression......
"Less than five hundred musketeers, not only repelled the attack of the Tartar cavalry, but also eliminated more than a thousand people. And his own losses are no more than a hundred people...... General Jin, are you sure you are telling the truth......"
"The Haw Par Army is not a heavenly soldier, how can they be so powerful......
"Also, they are facing the Houjin Iron Cavalry, the Houjin Iron Cavalry, which even the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are very afraid of, not ordinary infantry......"
If he hadn't witnessed the entire battle with his own eyes, General Jin Lao would not have believed the result.
But General Jin Lao witnessed the whole battle process with his own eyes, and until now, on the battlefield, the scene of Jin Tiecai's cavalry after the slaughter of the tiger and leopard army with firearms still continues to appear in General Jin's mind.
Therefore, as soon as Ren Zu's words were finished, General Jin affirmed loudly......
"Your Majesty, what the old minister said is true, and there is nothing false...... If the king still doesn't believe it, you can ask the other generals who watched the battle with the old minister......"
At this time, the shock on Ren Zu's face finally disappeared.
Under the simultaneous gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, he couldn't help but mutter: "I really didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the firearms unit would be so strong...... If the new Korean army in the future can reach the level of the Haw Par Arms Unit in combat effectiveness...... No, as long as half the combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Arms Unit. I, North Korea, can defeat the Japanese invaders. Defeat the Tartars. Don't be afraid of them anymore......"
As soon as Ren Zu finished saying this, General Jin immediately said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the old minister rushed back so quickly is to implore the king, at any cost, to form a new army immediately......
"Only with the new army and the same firearms unit as the Tiger and Leopard Army, can our DPRK not have to be afraid of foreign invasions......
General Jin had just finished speaking. The other dozen or so generals, as if they had been discussed, spoke at the same time: "I implore the king to immediately form a firearms unit and do his best to form a fighting force and recover the ...... of South Korea."
At this time, Ren Zu was also moved by everyone's enthusiasm.
Without thinking about it, he replied: "Very good, then we will start from now on, form a new army, and recover the Korean ......"
"Old general, you immediately transfer 10,000 soldiers from the army. As a soldier in the formation of the new army...... In the selection process, pay attention to the cooperation of the Haw Par musketeers. Because. Only they know what kind of soldier is best suited to be a musketeer......"
"In addition, when the new army is formed, it will definitely become the most important military strength in North Korea. Therefore, I decided to have the veteran general as the commander of the new army, and to form and train the new army ......"
"General Chen Mingchen, the commander of the Haw Par Legion, is the deputy commander of the new army, assisting General Jin Lao to form and train the new army ......"
"As for the remaining musketeers of the Haw Par Army, according to their ranks, different deputy positions will be arranged in the new army, and the specific positions will be decided after consultation between the old general and General Chen of the Haw Par Army......
"In ten days, at most ten days, I want to see all 10,000 officers and soldiers of the New Army gather in the military camp outside Pyongyang for training......"
"General Wang, you have had a negotiation experience with the Haw Par Army, so I will hand over all the firearms and equipment of the New Army to you......"
"You immediately rush to Liaodong and ask the Haw Par Army to prepare the firearms needed by our new Korean army and transport them back to Korea...... In order to make the Haw Par Army hurry up, I decided to give the Haw Par Army another iron mine......"
In order to take care of the future instructors of the North Korean New Army, that is, the more than 400 musketeers of the Haw Par Army, let these musketeers hand over all what they have learned in their hearts to the North Korean New Army.
The king of the table Xiàn Ren Zu can be described as painstaking.
The musketeers, who numbered less than 500 men, not only had independent military camps, but also specially sought out dozens of Han Chinese from Liaodong to serve their food.
It can be said that the musketeers in front of them, who have less than 500 people, have no problem if they use the food and salary consumed every month on the Koreans, even if they are used on the Koreans, even to feed the 2,000 Korean troops......
In the small barracks, dozens of Haw Par musketeers were looking around vigilantly, protecting a house they were surrounding in the middle......
As for the room, all the officers of the musket battalion above the platoon commander were gathered.
The head of the regiment, Chen Ming, was sitting in front of everyone with a stern face.
Just after everyone had arrived, Chen Ming finally spoke: "Brothers, I know that many of you must be wondering why the other troops have returned to China, but we are the only ones who have left a musket battalion in Korea......
"Today, Ben is going to give you an explanation...... Those of us will not only stay in North Korea, but in North Korea for the next two years...... No one can return home unless there is an accident......"
As soon as Chen Ming's words were finished, there was a very noisy discussion in the room......
Chen Ming did not stop these discussions......
It wasn't until this kind of discussion slowly stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on him again, that Chen Ming continued to speak: "Brothers, I know that it is difficult for everyone to accept this fact. However, what I would like to tell you is that this is the decision of the Haw Par Army General Staff Headquarters...... Of course, the prince will not just leave everyone here, regardless of ......"
"During the time you stayed in North Korea, all the soldiers received double salaries...... Not only that, but Ben will also try to get extra military pay for everyone at the king of Joseon......"
"Not surprisingly, if you stay in North Korea for two years, you can earn a military salary for five years in peacetime......."
"In addition, I will tell you all about ...... Let everyone stay in North Korea, not to fight, but to train troops and help North Korea train new soldiers......"
"In two years, 10,000 musketeers were trained for North Korea. Of course, this training is not for everyone to teach everything. Today, I will bring everyone over in a hurry, on the one hand, to inform everyone of the situation, and on the other hand, to discuss with everyone what can and cannot be taught to the Korean army, and to come up with a specific charter......"
"Finally, there is another purpose, that is, to discuss concretely, how to control the entire Korean New Army step by step through the two-year training of Guò. Because, starting tomorrow, everyone will join the new army of the DPRK and serve as the deputy ...... of officers at all levels" (to be continued......
