The origin of Yang Chengying's troops is quite complicated.

The most basic is the three hundred Jiading given to him by Yuan Yingtai, that is, the Tiger Brigade Army.

After arriving in Jinzhou, Yang Chengying expanded on the basis of the Tiger Brigade Army, collected a large number of Mongolian Yiding who fled to Jinzhou, and formed the Fengzi Battalion, with 1,200 soldiers and 2,300 war horses.

The commander is Su Xiaojing, and the deputy commander is Sanggar Village, a small Mongolian leader.

The Mongols have many similar names, and this Sangar village comes from Chahar, and the Sangar village of Jin after Zaisai attacks is from Korqin.

The Ming court misunderstood the name of Qingjiangdu and punished the wrong tribe, which led to the Mongol invasion of Jizhen in the north.

Later, on the basis of the hungry soldiers of Jinzhou Wei, Yang Chengying formed the Shuizi Battalion, the Huozi Battalion, the Shanzi Battalion and the Linzi Battalion.

The second battalion of water and fire was under the command of Xu Shang, with a total of 2,300 soldiers, all pikemen, using a Macedonian phalanx.

This unit has a remarkable record and has repeatedly defeated strong enemies.

The 1,000 people of the Shanzi Battalion stayed in Jinzhou City, and the commander was Shang Kexi before, and later Han Yunchao, who was a Chinese talent, served as the commander.

This sword and shield infantry does not have many opportunities to fight, mainly defending Jinzhou City.

The Lin Zi Battalion was a bow and arrow battalion, which was later developed into a firearms unit by Yang Chengying, and the commander was Shang Kexi. The number of people is 1,000, and the number of birds is 1,300.

Later, Zu Tianshou and other Ming army deserters were absorbed, and four battalions of Tiger Wing, Zhichong, Yingyang and Yongjian Battalions were formed, each with a full strength of 800.

These soldiers guarded the major border forts in Golden State, cooperated with the local chief, maintained local order, and hunted down spies.

In addition, part of the original Denglai Naval Division under Shen Degong was absorbed by Yang Chengying, and 800 artillery troops and 300 personal guards were formed.

In the end, Sun Degong and Bao Chengxian were more than 3,000 soldiers, eliminated the unqualified physical fitness, and formed a 1,000-strong Chinese army with the pro-guard army.

That is to say, with the newly formed Perak Battalion and Chen Liangce's Dongjiang Battalion, the actual strength of Jinzhou Town is only a little more than 13,500.

However, in addition to holding on to the territory, there are not many troops left that can be used for the offensive at Yang Chengying's disposal.

Therefore, on the one hand, he cautiously expanded his army, and on the other hand, he tried not to engage in encounters with the main forces of Houjin.

Even if you fight, you will avoid the real and the false, and pick the weak.

Several times I felt that I couldn't fight, and I retreated without hesitation, and it was better to lose people than to lose my life.

Rao is like this, Yang Chengying still controls the number of troops, and would rather lack than excess.

However, those who stay must be given the best treatment.

This is not Yang Chengying personally went to the Dongjiang camp to impart cultural knowledge.

"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar, the yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken."

Yang Cheng pointed to the blackboard with a branch and read "From the Army" again.

The words of "From the Army" are simple, but the big-headed soldiers who don't know a few big characters can't understand it without explanation.

Therefore, Yang Chengying finished reading it and explained it again.

After hearing this, some soldiers looked puzzled: "These soldiers are so stupid, their armor is worn out, and they are still holding on, what are they trying to do?" ”

"The Tu family is healthy."

Yang Chengying explained: "When you reach a certain level, you will also have a family in the future, and if you don't want your family to be slaughtered by the enemy, you must rise up to defend them." ”

"Even though I tried my best, my parents didn't get enough food, and they sold mink and deer antler velvet but the merchants sold them at a low price. wanted to find him a theory, but was beaten by the businessman's partnership government.

Last winter, they ...... They all ......."

As he spoke, the soldier wept bitterly.

Some of the soldiers were concerned and cried.

Yang Chengying walked up to him, squatted down and patted him on the shoulder.

"The days used to be miserable, but now we have to create a new life with it."

Yang Chengying said loudly, "The clothes you are wearing now and the weapons you use are all from the villagers and elders in Jinzhou Town.

It is hoped that you can resist the construction of the north and defend the hard-won peace.

If you don't believe it, you can go to Jinzhou Town to see, its current wealth is definitely an eye-opener for you. ”

"But what does this have to do with us, our parents are gone, and some of our brothers and sisters are gone." There are soldiers who do not understand.

"Just because you don't have relatives now doesn't mean you won't have them in the future."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Don't you marry a wife and have children in the future, and don't want to live a stable life." ”

"That's for the future, and now we're alone."

A soldier stood up and said.

Yang Chengying laughed and came to him, "Then you will eat and drink to your heart's content, and strive not to die in the next battle, even if you really want to die, you should be a full ghost." ”

The soldier blushed and bowed his head.

The soldiers laughed.

Chen Liangce, who was on the side, saw this scene and whispered to Wang Yining: "Yang Shuai is really a very patient person. ”

"This may be the reason why the Golden State Army can be brave." Wang Yining looked at it and silently wrote down what Yang Chengying had just said in his heart.

Another soldier stood up, "Yang Shuai, many ordinary people look down on us, and the literati don't look down on us. ”

"A well-trained army must be sentient. Whether it is for parents, brothers and sisters, or for the homeland and country, as long as there is affection, you will not feel the harshness of military regulations.

Because you have learned to put yourself in each other's shoes, you know how important it is to discipline yourself.

Affection is mutual. Didn't the soldiers of the past do all the evil to the people, how did you make the people close to you?

Therefore, we must be sentient people, be ruthless to our enemies, and be gentle with our own people. Respect others, and others will respect you. ”

After Yang Chengying finished speaking, the scene was quiet.

Everybody is thinking.

Thinking is a good start.

After waiting for a while, Yang Chengying returned to the blackboard and continued to explain the song "From the Army".

After some conversation just now, these big-headed soldiers who don't know a few big characters began to have a different understanding of this military march.

However, this thinking was short-lived, when Yang Chengying was ready to write a poem.

Some soldiers expressed puzzlement: "Yang Shuai, why do we big-headed soldiers learn these sour words?" ”

"Because those so-called literati just rely on knowing a few words, we also have to learn them, so that they can't run rampant."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Not only do we have to learn words, but we also have to learn mathematics to understand why the wind blows, why the sea is so big, and what is going on with everything in heaven and earth." ”

When he heard this, Wang Yining smiled awkwardly.

He is a student and happens to belong to the category of "literati".

"We have learned so much, and we don't have to take the Jinshi exam." Someone laughed.

"Of course, you don't need to take the Jinshi exam, but you have to enrich your knowledge, only then can you let your children learn more cultural knowledge." Yang Chengying said.

"Children born in military households are still military households." Someone shouted.

"That was before, the rules were made by people, so why can't we change this rule?"

Yang Chengying responded loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers nodded one after another.

Wang Yining frowned slightly, because this rule can't be broken.
