"Zhang Yong did a good job on Chenggong Island, and raised 60,000 good horses in the pasture of Zhihu Town in the north of the island, you only need to receive the horses after you go this time... Therefore, at present, the most important thing is the problem of people, our Chinese nation belongs to the farming nation, unlike those nomadic people, since ancient times is not good at horseback riding, which is indeed a great obstacle for us to recruit cavalry, but I hope you still have to do it as soon as possible, and to do it decently, I know this is a bit difficult for you, but the time is not for me, this is your opportunity, but also your responsibility... If it fails, I'm not going to listen to superfluous explanations, you know?"

In the study room of the political affairs hall, Li Kang said to the new commander of the Third Cavalry Independent Regiment, Colonel Sima Chengen.

"Your Majesty understands! Your Majesty will not fail in your mission!" Sima Chengen swore an oath.

Sima Chengen, the former deputy commander of the First Cavalry Regiment, Yang Zaixing's right-hand man.

This time, the Privy Council decided to establish the Third Cavalry Independent Regiment, and as soon as the news was announced, the position of the commander became a hot topic in an instant, and people always liked to talk about two sentences before and after tea, and pulled out one by one the cavalry generals who could be counted in China for a walk, and the highest voice was the current only two cavalry regiments of the chief and deputy commanders.

The commander of the First Cavalry Regiment made Yang Zaixing, with the rank of general, when the Fuxi defense war, it was by relying on the harassment and containment of the cavalry battalion led by him, which dragged the war until Li Kang led a large army to return to the aid and defeated the invincible Dashan Yanji and its single-handedly entangled tribal alliance in one fell swoop, and it was with the might of this war, the Huaxia Army took advantage of the situation to go south, and fully took over the territory of the original Dashan clan, on this basis, the establishment of a champion town, the implementation of the military tun, and because of this, Yang Zaixing, who was only a cavalry battalion commander at that time, was promoted to the regiment commander.

In addition to Yang Zaixing, the official commander, the First Cavalry Regiment also has two deputy commanders, one is Sima Chengen, and the other is Jiang Xiaohan, who was promoted from the battalion command position not long ago.

The commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment was originally Ping Zhenqi, and later Ping Zhenqi was transferred to the deputy commander of the Second Brigade, and his position was taken over by his old subordinate and deputy commander Zhang Gui, and Zhang Gui's vacant position as deputy commander has been vacant, and there is no follow-up until now, so the Second Cavalry Regiment has only one deputy commander Li Youmu, this guy is from Li Kang's personal guard, and his promotion is like riding a rocket, and he is the battalion commander as soon as he is released, and then in just four years, he has jumped two levels in a row - the cavalry is one level higher than the infantry as a whole - and they are all positions of real power.

Yang Zaixing, Sima Chengen, Jiang Xiaohan, Zhang Gui, Li and Mu, the five of them are qualified to be the commander of the Third Cavalry Independent Regiment, but after a little analysis, it is not very strange that Sima Chengen finally got this position.

Yang Zaixing himself was the commander of the cavalry regiment, and the position of the commander of the Third Cavalry Independent Regiment was not attractive to him at all, on the contrary, it was more comfortable to stay in the original unit and it was more convenient to command.

Zhang Gui is the same.

Jiang Xiaohan and Li and Mu belong to the junior generation, and they have just been promoted for a long time, so they can't take their turn, they just accompany the prince to study.

To sum up, Sima Chengen's advantages were immediately highlighted, with old qualifications, Yang Zaixing's deputy who has been a deputy for more than five years, has no regrets, and has outstanding military achievements, how much credit Yang Zaixing has, basically has to share some of his proportions, and then there is the support of the old boss, the first cavalry regiment is subordinate to the first brigade, and the earliest commander of the first brigade is Yue Fei, the current army commander, the army's leader.

Even if Qi Jiguang, the chief of staff, wants to choose a qualified competitor from the second brigade of the old army, Zhang Gui is indeed qualified, but Zhang Gui's position has just been transferred not long ago, and it is not suitable to move the nest again, so there is no way, Qi Jiguang can only watch the Third Cavalry Independent Regiment fall into the hands of the first brigade system.

Of course, Qi Jiguang did not completely give up meddling, and Li Kang did not allow all the officers of the Third Cavalry Independent Regiment to be from the First Brigade.

Thinking of this, Li Kang glanced at the seven people standing behind Sima Chengen again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to two of them: "Ziyun and Tiande, I have wronged the two of you for the time being, I hope you can assist Chengen wholeheartedly, build the Third Cavalry Regiment, become bigger and stronger, and when the day of success, I still need the two of you to take charge for me!"

The reason why these two people are singled out is because the identities of these two people are different, not because of military merits, it can be said that the two of them have no credit to Huaxia at all, but there is no way, these two are both big bulls in history and belong to the "opposition faction".

The current opposition faction in Huaxia is those historical celebrities who were summoned by Li Kang but did not have a good position for them for a while, these humanities and martial arts are available, because the time of the generation call is a little late, resulting in them have been in an embarrassing position, and the position is high, and those low-level personnel who have contributed to them will be dissatisfied and given low, which is an insult to others.

Li Kang himself also had a headache, and he didn't know how to position them, so he could only keep raising them and casually installing the title of a professor and letting them teach students in major schools.

It is also for this reason that Li Kang has recently changed his strategy, no longer summoning historical celebrities at will, but vigorously cultivating "ordinary people".

Of course, the celebrity Li Kang who has been summoned will not let them idle all the time, and they have to be pulled out for a walk when they have the opportunity, otherwise it would be too wasteful, for example, the two people who were specially named by Li Kang just now, these two are famous cavalry geniuses in history, and some good people on the Internet list them as one of China's nine major cavalry generals.

Ziyun, that is, Chen Qingzhi, the word Ziyun, a famous military commander of the Southern Dynasty Liang, the pinnacle of his life was in the Northern Expedition to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he had set a proud record of 7,000 people defeating 200,000 troops, but the miraculous thing is that Chen Qingzhi himself is a weak scholar, unable to open a bow or arrows, and at the same time not very good at riding horses, can be described as a model of Confucian generals.

Tiande, that is, Xu Da, the word Tiande, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, one of the six founding dukes of the military commander, the title of Duke of Wei, after his death, he was posthumously crowned the king of Zhongshan, the first military strongman in Chinese history to fight from the south to the north and Beijing, the groundbreaking perfect combination of the cavalry's rapid mobile charge and the rapid shooting of the musket, the compound bow that the Mongols were proud of collapsed under the rain of bullets and bullets of the fire dragoons.

To say that these two people have made a name for themselves in history, relatively speaking, Xu Da's popularity is much higher, and at the same time, Li Kang cares more about Xu Da.

Don't look at Chen Qingzhi's record is appalling, but there is a lot of water in it, and it is touted by the literati of the Southern Dynasty at that time, but more importantly, the enemy he dealt with was in a state of disorder at that time, and the Northern Wei regime was not strong in his will to resist, in fact, it was not so exaggerated, but Li Kang would not deny that Chen Qingzhi was a military genius and a commander-level bull, otherwise he would not deliberately put him and Xu Da alongside, but relatively speaking, he was more optimistic about Xu Da.

Now Xu Da and Chen Qingzhi were both screwed out of the ivory tower by Li Kang and stuffed into the Third Cavalry Independent Regiment, which was still in its infancy, as the deputy commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment, as their future advancement.
