Chapter 15: Yehelina's Conditions (New Book for Onlookers)
Fu Zuoyi's true intentions Chen Feng is not clear, but with this award, Chen Feng can blatantly expand, he didn't dare to pull out all the troops before, but now it's different, Commander Fu gave him the establishment of a B regiment, and sent him so many weapons and equipment, although they are all old guys eliminated by the 35th Army, Chen Feng may not be eye-catching, but he gave Chen Feng a justifiable excuse for expansion.
Originally, Chen Feng planned to transfer a group of troops on Daqingshan, but thinking about Daqingshan, it was a hole card in his hand, and he couldn't move it until he had to, and Chen Feng decided to recruit troops on the spot again.
Now the troops have won the battle, and the conscription is easy to conscript. In addition, Chen Feng's military salary was quite generous, 2 yuan per person per month, and there were pensions for the dead and disabled, so the second batch of 1,000 recruits was quickly levied.
At present, Chen Feng's security regiment is a complete B regiment, with three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, one artillery company, one guard company, one engineer company, one communications platoon, and one special combat team, with a total of more than 2,800 people.
The original levy of 1,000 recruits was not enough to make the entire security regiment full of staff, but Wang Qingya's side helped a lot, after Wang Qingya's persuasion for three consecutive days, the female bandit leader was willing to lead his troops to join the security regiment, but there was one condition.
"What conditions do you have, please say, as long as you surrender sincerely, I will guarantee the safety of each and every one of you." Looking at the beautiful Russian beauty in front of him, Chen Feng said in a deep voice.
Chen Feng was also surprised when he learned that the strong female bandit leader of the horse gang turned out to be a Russian, and then learned from Wang Qingya that this Russian beauty is called Yehelina, 23 years old this year, her father is the commander of the Guards Cavalry Division during the Tsarist Russian period, after the October Revolution in Russia, the rule of the Tsar was quickly overthrown by the newly established Soviet power, her father and many senior officers of the former Tsarist Russia were included in the must-kill list, and in desperation, her father had to lead more than 1,000 subordinates to escape from Russia and come to China, Yeherina was only 3 years old at the time.
3 years ago, Yehelina's father died of illness, she took over the entire horse gang, under her leadership, the Saibei horse gang was not only not exterminated by the Jin Sui army, but doubled in size, but I didn't expect that this time they were served by Chen Feng's security group.
Chen Feng believes that what Yeherina said is true, because from 1917 to 1924, after the October Revolution in Russia, there were indeed a large number of White Russians who went to China, and the number was very large, and Zhang Zongchang formed more than 10,000 White Russian cavalry, but there were not many people who fled to China as bandits like Yeherina's father.
"If you want me and my men to submit to you, you must keep us all safe." Yehelina's Chinese was very smooth, and she didn't feel stiff at all, but her face was a little pale when she spoke.
In the battle a few days ago, she was also injured a lot, she was hit by a bullet in the arm, fortunately she didn't hurt the bones, but she shed a lot of blood, so the whole person looked a little sluggish.
"That's for sure, I'll keep you all safe." Chen Feng said.
"But I don't believe in your promises, so you have to give me a guarantee. I know what you want, and to be honest, if you talk about cavalry alone, your troops are terrible. "Yeherina is very smart, and she knows that Chen Feng wants her to build a strong cavalry force.
"Guarantees, what guarantees, since you don't believe in this commander, then you won't believe in this commander no matter what promises he makes, do you think such a guarantee is meaningful?"
"Yes, as long as you promise to marry me and make me your wife, I will promise to lead all my subordinates to you." Yeherina said without being shocked.
"What, this can't be, you should know that I have a fiancée, don't you Westerners pay attention to monogamy, I can't promise you this, change the conditions." Chen Feng immediately refused, one Wang Qingya was enough for him to drink a pot, and another female bandit's house was not messy.
"No, I won't change the conditions. Although I am Russian, I grew up in China, and I don't understand Western etiquette at all, I don't mind how many wives you have, isn't it normal to marry several wives in your China? Yeherina said stubbornly.
"That's different, like Western countries, in China, we can only marry a legal wife, and the others are called concubines, which are what Westerners call lovers. There is an essential difference between a lover and a wife, if you want to be my wife, it is impossible, because I already have a legal wife, if you are asked to be my lover, I'm afraid you will not want to, right? Chen Feng said.
"I know what you said very well, but I don't mind, whether it's a wife or a lover, as long as you accept me, then I'm your family, I think you'll treat me well, and you'll treat my subordinates well, won't you!" Yeherina continued.
"To tell you the truth, your terms are very tempting, but I'm afraid I can't agree to you, because my mother is very strict with me, and I'm afraid she won't agree to me marrying you." Chen Feng told the truth.
"Not necessarily, is it because of your fiancée?"
"How do you know the way?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.
"It was your other lover who told me, but I think your mother would agree." Yeherina said confidently.
"Because she is your mother, a mother's love is always great, but this greatness is only for her own children. It is certainly unfair for you to find a lover for your fiancée, but if you marry me, you can get an elite cavalry, and your strength will skyrocket rapidly, which will obviously help you and your family, and I think at this time your mother will not only not object, but will gladly accept me. Yeherina analyzed.
"Your analysis is not unreasonable, but I don't think your role will be as big as you say, you must know that there are less than 200 of your subordinates who really have a fight, and the rest are all old, weak, sick and women, even if all are willing to stay in my troops, it is just a reinforced company, so it is impossible for my troops to skyrocket, and I am also very skeptical about your cavalry command ability, more than a thousand elite cavalry were completely annihilated by my more than 1,000 infantry, such a force can be said to be unattractive to me." Chen Feng said.
Yeherina thought for a while and said, "You are right, but I can tell you that this time I was careless, and I underestimated the enemy, so I fell into your ambush." In addition, what you have annihilated is only a part of the cavalry in my hands, and the Saibei Horse Gang has been rampant in the grassland for more than 20 years, do you think there are only more than 1,000 cavalry? ”
Chen Feng had also considered this question, the Saibei Horse Gang had been rampant in the northern provinces for decades, and its prestige was not much smaller than that of Yan Dashuai, but this time Chen Feng felt that the strength of this horse bandit army was too watery, and it was simply vulnerable, it turned out that he thought that what he encountered was just a paper tiger, but now listening to this woman, there should be a hidden secret.
"Oh, according to you, you still have troops that have not been annihilated by me?" Chen Feng asked.
"Do you know that whether it is a horse bandit or a bandit, it has its own rules of survival, have you ever seen tens of thousands of bandits gathered in one place? No, not really, because one place simply cannot support so many bandits, and tens of thousands of bandits gathering together can easily attract a large number of regular government troops to encircle and suppress them. We are the same, the cavalry movement itself is large, and it does not need tens of thousands of people, only a few thousand people are enough to attack the general county town, and 10,000 cavalry can sneak attack the provincial capital. If there is a horse bandit with more than 10,000 people on the grassland, it will definitely cause the government to encircle and suppress it with all its might."
Before Ye Helina finished speaking, Chen Feng said: "So you will break the troops in your hands into pieces, scatter them throughout the prairie, and gather them again when necessary, right?" ”
"Yes, so you're only destroying a small part of my troops this time."
"And how many troops do you have scattered outside?" Chen Feng said.
"3 cavalry teams, a total of nearly 3,000 people." Yeherina said.
Chen Feng gasped, grandma's, it's so dangerous! Fortunately, this time Yeherina only brought a cavalry team over, and if she brought all of them, I am afraid that his security regiment would be reimbursed in the first battle, and he himself would not end well.
Seeing Chen Feng's surprised expression, Yehelina smiled: "Two years ago, I had a total of eight cavalry teams, each with 1,000 people, and this only refers to the troops that can fight. It's a pity to fight with the Jin Sui army, although the Jin Sui army did not take advantage, but our losses were greater, the troops were only less than half of the original, in order to prevent being annihilated by the government army, I had to divide the troops into 4 cavalry teams scattered on the grassland. ”
After a pause, Yeherina continued: "Actually, your luck is really good, the strength of this cavalry team I led is actually not weak, but some time ago, I fought a battle with your security regiment in Xinghe County, and a battle with a Mongolian tribe in the north, and the losses of the troops are not small, although they have been supplemented, but the people who have been supplemented are all some novices, and the combat effectiveness has decreased greatly, plus the intelligence is wrong and the enemy is underestimated, so it will give you an opportunity to take advantage of, otherwise, now the identities of the two of us will be reversed." ”
"Then those cavalry teams of yours are there now, can you contact them now?" Chen Feng said with a frown.
"You don't have to worry, as long as I'm not dead, they won't take the initiative to attack your troops. I think the news of my captivity by you has reached their ears, and now they must be closing in here. To be honest, I admire you, you are the first man to conquer me, your command level is very high, I don't want my troops to clash with you, that will only hurt both sides, so as long as you promise to marry me, I and my troops are yours. Yeherina said.
"It's not impossible for me to marry you, but my mother agrees, as long as my mother nods, I will carry a sedan chair to marry you into the door."
"Well, we'll make up our minds!"
"It's a deal!"
