Chapter 033

Compared to the silver carried by the bandits, it was only a small part of Qin Wu's treasure house.

Of course, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's also meat.

Cheng Shijie said: "All the seizures will be handed over, as a casualty compensation and reward for our thousands of soldiers, in addition, those dead and wounded horse meat, don't waste it, bring all the horse meat back." ”

"Thank you, Lord Qianhu!"

Cheng Shijie wants to reward thousands of taels of silver this time, but he is not distressed, this is Qin Wu's money, and Cheng Shijie does not have any psychological burden by taking other people's silver as favors.

Although most of the blades captured this time are tattered, they can be rebuilt when they return to the Thousand Households, and at least one shotgun can be exchanged for the Thousand Households.

"What about this captive?"

"When we go back, hand it over to the guard!"

Cheng Shijie thought about it, and Jin Yousheng, the commander, was also eager for a military merit. As a veteran organization, Cheng Shijie knows very well that in any organization or unit, people with strong business ability are the easiest to get mixed in.

Just like in the later generations, although he has no backstage, because of his strong business ability, no matter how many leaders are changed, his position is indispensable, unless someone can replace him.

Through the interrogation of Qin Wu, Cheng Shijie also knew the previous battle between Qin Wu and Dengzhou Wei, although Dengzhou Wei had 8,000 households, but I am afraid that only Jin Yousheng's 500 Ding soldiers could fight. The other thousand households more or less fed some family soldiers, which was the real combat effectiveness of Dengzhou Wei.

Literally, the Dengzhou guards are strong and strong, but in fact, Dengzhou is a virtual shelf.

The morale of the military families who returned from victory is definitely different. In particular, the cart full of grain and property, thanks to the cart prepared by Qin Wu, although some of it was destroyed, most of it was still in good condition, and even if it was broken, all owned by thousands of households were repaired by craftsmen.

With more than 5,000 stone of grain and more than 60,000 taels of silver, Cheng Shijie has more resources in his hands, and more things can be done.

Cheng Shijie sat in the carriage, surrounded by his second generals, Zhang Yu and Shen Ming.

Cheng Shijie said lightly: "This victory, it's really a fluke, you two must not be complacent, there is a serious problem with our equipment configuration, first of all, long-range attack weapons, we must equip them, this time we have captured more than 40 firearms, or more than 20 bird mills, this thousand households are not ready to be allocated to the two hundred households of you, I hope you don't have mustard in your hearts." ”

"Senho-sama, where are you talking about this!"

Shen Mingyu said: "There are no thousands of households, and I am still a beggar in Dengzhou City!" ”

"If it weren't for Lord Qianhu, I would still be carrying my bag on the dock!"

"The establishment of our health center is not very reasonable!"

In the era of cold weapons, there were too many people, but when a thousand households commanded ten hundred households, the number of people would be too many.

Cheng Shijie considered that his family soldiers could not stick to the form. The best way is to organize according to the way of the border army, Cheng Shijie has too few firearms in his hands, the so-called artillery, that is, the bowl mouth gun, there are only six guns, the power of the original bowl mouth gun is small, and then disperse the use, it is equivalent to sprinkling pepper noodles on a large cake.

In this case, Cheng Shijie decided to concentrate on the use of firearms, bird guns and bowl-mouth guns, as well as the three artillery pieces captured in Qin Wu's hands.

"How do you want to compile it?"

"Two sets of patterns!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "The original establishment of the thousand households remains unchanged, there are still ten hundred households, each in charge of one hundred households, and the family soldiers are in accordance with the establishment of Qi Shaobao when he was in Jizhen, every twelve people are a team, and one team is set up, which is regarded as a small flag, and each team has ten soldiers and one husband. ”

According to the standard configuration of the Qi family's army, the team is equipped with a bird gun and a sword, and a man with a double-pointed flat pole. Two pikemen, with bows and arrows. There are two knife and stick hands, equipped with knives and sticks, bows and arrows. There are two knife players, with rattan cards, waist knives, and javelins. Two musketeers, armed with arquebuses and knives. There are two fast gunners, only equipped with a one-eye fast gun, and a fast gun instead of a stick in close combat.

Some squads also use boring and palladium hands instead of knife and stick hands, and use rockets as long-range weapons. The three teams are one flag, with a flag in general, and one tiger squat cannon in charge of 30 catties. The three flags are a division, with a total of 100, and there are several attendants in the 100 general, and a 100-pound cannon is in charge. The three divisions are a bureau, and the general is set up.

Cheng Shijie doesn't have this kind of equipment now, so he can only simplify. His soldiers were each accompanied by four pikemen, two sword and shield men, and four musketeers.

Shen Mingyu thought for a while and said, "Lord Qianhu, then we still lack a lot of equipment, the spear is enough, but the shield and firearm are far from enough!" ”

"Then take your time, fortunately the bandits did not line up for a field battle this time, otherwise, we would have suffered a big loss!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "The plan of this thousand households is that every four teams are a sentry, and a sentry commander is set up, which is regarded as the general flag...... Every five posts is a division. ”

Zhang Yu said: "What does Lord Qianhu mean that the family soldiers still need to be streamlined? ”

"No, it's going to be expanded!"

Cheng Shijie said solemnly: "This thousand households can now support two divisions, that is, five hundred Ding soldiers. ”

From the attack on Linglong Mountain, Cheng Shijie saw a way of wealth, as an army, poor as a flower, it was not right in the first place, from the battle of the total annihilation of the bandit Qin Wu, Cheng Shijie can also be regarded as famous in a war, he can cooperate with the government in various places to suppress bandits.

Officials take political achievements, Cheng Shijie wants to benefit, and the two sides cooperate for a win-win situation, why not?

……

When Cheng Shijie returned to Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu with the prisoners and seized property, the news that the bandit Qin Wu led more than 4,000 bandits to attack Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu also spread in Dengzhou City.

Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, was thinking about how to withhold how much grain and silver from the autumn tax to pay for the military expenses of Denglai's new army, when he suddenly heard the news.

Sun Yuanhua's mood couldn't help but become very bad, he was not worried about the bandits attacking Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu, no matter how troublesome it was, it was Jin Yousheng's business, but the problem was that once the bandits rushed to the state and hit the government, this was evidence of his ineffective governance.

As a governor who has not been appointed as an official in the Eight Classics of the Eight Classics, Sun Yuanhua himself has to bear tremendous pressure, and although his teacher Xu Guangqi is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Guangqi is seeking to go further and enter the cabinet.

At this critical moment, he must not hold Xu Guangqi back.

"Someone!"

"What do you command?"

"Order someone to order the commander of Dengzhou Wei to envoy Jin Yousheng, let him send troops to annihilate this group of bandits, if he can't even deal with this group of bandits, he doesn't have to be the commander!"

Sun Yuanhua's words were very heavy, and they also carried a strong threat. Of course, it's not just a threat. The governor himself is a place where he manages the army on the horse and governs the army on the horse, not to mention the Dengzhou Wei command envoy, even if it is the Shandong capital command envoy, it must be managed by Sun Yuanhua.

Usually, these bandits, things like rebellion against the people, in fact, can't get into Sun Yuanhua's eyes. These are extraordinary times, and of course we have to do extraordinary things.

Sun Yuanhua was also very clear about the fact that the guard was so corrupt and unbearable, he thought for a while and said: "Commander Zhang Tao is ready to be ready to suppress bandits at any time!" ”

Sun Yuanhua was able to serve as a general official of the second rank of the feudal territory in the capacity of a person, in fact, because of his political ideas, Sun Yuanhua advocated the use of the Denglai New Army to cooperate with the Dongjiang Army to recover the four prefectures of southern Liaoning and Lushun.

After the loss of the four states of southern Liaoning in the first year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, rebelled against Liu Xingzuo, the deputy general of Houjin and the commander of the four states of southern Liaoning, against Jin Guiming, but after a short recovery of the four states of southern Liaoning, it was lost again in the sixth year of the Apocalypse. In this case, the recovery of southern Liaoning is indeed conducive to alleviating the embarrassment and passive situation of the Ming Dynasty.

When Chongzhen was three years old, Sun Yuanhua was recommended by his teacher Xu Guangqi and Liang Yandong, who was the secretary of the military department at the time, and became the governor of Denglai, and his political ambition was to recover the four prefectures in southern Liaoning. At this critical moment, he didn't want chaos in Shandong.

Dengzhou Wei commanded the envoy Si Yamen, and soon received a strict order from Lord Futai, which was harshly worded, and Jin Yousheng hurriedly summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures.

Huang Zuxin sighed: "I can't hide from this!" ”

"But Qin Wu is fierce, and many of his subordinates are bandits from the border army, so it's not easy to deal with!"

"If it's easy to deal with, Qin Wu's grave grass will grow three feet tall!"

Jin Yousheng looked at the generals under his command and said: "Now there is no time to delay, if Qin Wu is allowed to break through the Zuo Qianhu and entrap the military households of the Zuo Qianhu, this battle will be even more difficult to fight." Now we need all of you to unite and work together! ”

Zhang Weihan, the former household of Dengzhou Weizheng, was Jin Yousheng's confidant, and at this time, he immediately said: "Commander, there will be one hundred elite families at the end, and five hundred young people can be drawn from the front of the thousand households!" ”

Although Zhang Weihan is a five-grade thousand-household, he also has the rank of general Wujie, but Cheng Shijie is different, he is also a five-grade, and the initial award is only a martial general, of course, an officer at the level of a thousand households can call himself the last general.

The center, left, center, and right of each thousand households have expressed their attitudes, you are 300, I am 500, and soon the 7,000 households will gather more than 3,500 elites.

This is actually the basic situation of the Ming Dynasty guards, the general guards fight, and it is very considerable to be able to draw two or three thousand people, and most of them can only draw less than two thousand people. Dengzhou Wei is a strengthened guard, so in the absence of a thousand households in the left, there are still more than 3,500 military households, plus the central guard and the command of the Tongzhi, the command of the servants and other family soldiers, soon gathered a full 5,000 elite army.

As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first.

Just when Jin Yousheng was hurriedly preparing grain, grass, and blades, preparing to support Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu, a scribe came from outside the door.

"Zuo Qianhu's emergency military report!"

"Isn't it, it's only been a few days, and Zuo Qianhu can't hold on?"

"Cheng Shijie is not a hereditary thousand households, it's good that he can hold on for so long, you still treat him as a famous general!"

"Commander, why don't you lead the horse team to set off first?"

The voice of discussion stopped abruptly, and Jin Yousheng looked at the urgent report in his hand with a dull face: "This is ...... How is this possible? Capture the bandit leader Qin Wu alive, behead his leader Liang Youcai, 1,383 people, and capture 2,150 people......"
