Come to Daming with military supplies

"Report to the Sixth Young Master, there is only a Tatar cavalry of about 500 people there now. You also know that the relationship between Beiming, Oala, Tatar and Mongolian ministries is very tense. The closer you are to them, the more scarce the supplies are. , In order to survive, many people here have already moved away, now there are only 1000 Mongolian people in the city except for these cavalry.”

"One thousand people? That's too little. When the time comes to build the city, I'm afraid that even workers won't be able to find it. But, that's the only way to do it now. By the way, you've been to Ala Humaqi, right? , how is the environment there?" Although Yang Chendong felt a little regretful, how could there be anything perfect in this world?

Xu Yunsheng nodded quickly, "Yes, young master, I have been there. There used to be a city wall there, and it was repaired later when Ming Chengzu conquered the grasslands in the north. The foundation is still good, and the area is not too small. Once the materials are supplied, there must be no problem in building a big city."

"Okay, you take the scout battalion to eat him tonight, and then announce to the outside world that it is our mercenary territory." Yang Chendong nodded, and his proof became very firm.

He fought a big battle with Tatar and Mobei Mongolia respectively, which has already attracted the attention of many people. If he does not send troops to occupy Alahumaqi immediately at this time, he is afraid that even if he is to monitor himself, he will be killed there. Occupied by other forces, if they want to seize this territory at that time, they must turn their faces against a certain party.Before there is enough foundation, it is of course better not to fight. If the Oirats, Tatars, Mongolia and even the Northern Ming army unite to attack him, I am afraid that the people in his hands will be exhausted.

Yang Chendong gave the order, Xu Yunsheng didn't ask any more questions, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, our reconnaissance battalion will move after dark, and the news will spread around the grassland at dawn tomorrow."

"Okay, you go down and call the third division commander Wu Sheng and political commissar Chen Bo." Yang Chendong didn't even raise his head, and continued to look at the sand table in front of him, as if thinking of something.

Not long after, two division-level officers from Leng Feng's Third Division appeared in Yang Chendong's tent. "How is it? Did you feel regretful that you didn't win the last battle?" Seeing these two young officers with the rank of colonel, Yang Chendong pointed at them and asked jokingly.

Concealed combat in the grassland is different from concealed combat in the forest. Without the protection of trees, if you want to hide a cavalry on the open grassland and play the role of sudden killing, the training requirements are naturally higher.

But this training was regarded as impossible by others. Under the guidance of Yang Chendong's theory, Wu Sheng and Chen Bo still followed it.And has achieved certain results.It is difficult to say that it is still difficult to hide a division on the open grassland, but it is indeed possible to hide a company or even a battalion.Think about it, when the two sides are about to fight, suddenly a powerful enemy cavalry rushes out from the ground and from your side. It is self-evident what the outcome of the war will be.

So even if Leng Feng's third division didn't catch up in the last battle, they didn't regret it.Because they know that the sixth young master's ideal is far-reaching, and some will fight after the battle.As long as they can train the army to be stronger, there will be no shortage of opportunities for performance and meritorious service.

"There are some regrets, but we believe that gold will shine. Our Lengfeng Third Division will always be the strongest cavalry." Political commissar Chen Bo smiled and said confidently.

"Yes, our Leng Feng Third Division will always be the strongest." The division commander Wu Sheng said more confidently, and his expression was full of incomparable firmness.

"Okay." Looking at the self-confidence of these two subordinates, Yang Chendong was also very happy. His subordinates must have such a spirit and invincible momentum. Only such an army can become a real elite; Only such an army can be invincible and invincible.

Yang Chendong was very satisfied with the attitudes of Wu Sheng and Chen Bo, and then he began to assign tasks, "It's like this, this time I will teach you an important and arduous task, crossing the Daxing'an Mountains, crossing the Liaohe River and passing through the Songhua River Go to Haizhen, receive a large amount of military supplies from Chixian City there and rush back here."

Pointing to the place on the sand table to pass along the way, Yang Chendong said: "I ask the third division to be a monkey monkey this time, to make a big fuss in the sky, and to make the Beiming military guards in the Nuer Gandusi area dare to be angry. Say, if they try to stop you, you can use the banner of loyalty and bravery, and if they still dare to stop, you can take action to teach them a lesson. How about it? Is there any problem. "

Chapter 693 Get Through the Logistics Supply Line

If you want to gain a foothold in one place, the logistics support of military supplies is always the top priority. People cannot do without eating, drinking and scavenging. However, in an environment where everything is scarce in the grassland, it is obviously unrealistic to use local materials. of.It can only rely on foreign transportation, and opening up a safe enough logistics channel has become one of the most important things at present.

After much deliberation, Yang Chendong finally chose the Nuer Gandusi area for this logistics route. Although there are quite a few Beiming military guards there, relatively speaking, they have been closed for a long time, and they have no name. Strength, such an army is not difficult to deal with.As long as the task of the third division is completed well, it is absolutely sure to open a safe passage, and as long as there is no problem with the logistics support, Yang Chendong will have the confidence to build a new city on the grassland in the shortest possible time. The far-reaching new city, at that time, the power to conquer this area will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

As for how to use the power of thunder to frighten the Beiming military guards in the Nuer Gandusi area, Yang Chen thought about it, and finally put the task on Leng Feng's third division.This is currently the strongest army under his command, and only they can play a powerful deterrent effect.

In the face of powerful combat power, any conspiracy and tricks should be useless.

Without waiting for the two division cadres to make a decision, Yang Chendong continued to add, "This task is extremely important, if you have any questions, you can ask them, but once you agree, you must complete the task satisfactorily. Nothing can be discounted. The task is completed, and I will give you great credit. If the task is not completed well, or there is any mistake in the supplies, then you are ready to be demoted and go directly to Yang Er's logistics camp to be a cook. gone."

This is the bottom line.Let a teacher be a chef, a cook, such a punishment is not insignificant.The faces of Wu Sheng and Chen Bo couldn't help being stunned, but soon they recovered their original spirit, and they said in unison, "Don't worry, Sixth Young Master, we will definitely complete the task satisfactorily. Well, there is no need to be a cook, we just offer our heads."

Wu Sheng is a standard soldier, the more he encounters a big battle, the more excited he gets. It is understandable for him to say this, and it is also in line with his usual style of doing things.As a political commissar, Chen Bo, who is full of Confucianism, would say such a thing, which surprised Yang Chendong.

He took a careful look at the two of them, and nodded after a long time, "Okay, I'll take note of what you said, and the young master is looking forward to your next performance. Pack up and leave tomorrow morning."

Chen Bo's performance really made Yang Chendong's eyes shine. He even thought that this person's character is so resolute, so let's test it. If there is no problem, he will be trained as a military supervisor in the future. it is also fine.It seems a waste for such a bloody officer to make him a political cadre.

Chen Bo didn't know that his performance fell into Yang Chendong's eyes, so he would have such a feeling.After paying a standard military salute with Wu Sheng, he left the command tent and called the officers of the third division to hold an emergency meeting.

After the two of them left, Yang Chendong's eyes fell on the map again, and his eyes still fell on Ala Humaqi, the old city built by the Ming Dynasty on the grassland before. Belonging to himself will also become his first strong point of influence on the grassland.At this moment, he even thought of the name of this new city, since it started from here, it should be called Shicheng.

Alahumaqi, this city that has been abandoned by Ming Dynasty and has changed hands for many times, seems to be extremely depressed at the moment.

There is no sign of a few people walking around in the city at all, only from the dilapidated city walls that you see from time to time, you can imagine the glory of this place in the past.

This is not the first time Xu Yunsheng has come here.But for the military operation at night, he still appeared here in disguise again.In order not to attract attention, he only brought two cronies and Yan Da, the first company commander of the reconnaissance battalion, on this trip.

"Commander, there are only [-] enemy cavalry here, plus [-] Mongolian civilians. If we want to occupy this place, why do we need to be so careful, as long as I dispatch one after another, we can complete the task." Yan Da said to the battalion commander. Being cautious, he was a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, such a deserted town didn't need to spend so much energy.

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years." Xu Yunsheng shook his head, then seemed to think of something, looked up at Yan Da and said, "Lieutenant Yan, a person can be proud, but not arrogant, if you are belittling everything like this , I will consider transferring you from the reconnaissance battalion."

Xu Yunsheng suddenly became serious, and Yan Da was really scared.Although with his ability, it is more than enough to be a battalion commander in any regiment, even in the third division of Lengfeng, it is not a problem to be a battalion commander.But the location of the reconnaissance battalion is too important. Any battalion commander you see can see the young master if he wants to see the sixth young master, so he would rather be a company commander here than go to other units. the importance of the camp.

"Battalion Commander, I was wrong. Actually, I am very careful in doing things." Yan Da immediately admitted his mistake, but he is also a bachelor.

In fact, he is really careful in doing things, otherwise he wouldn't be the reconnaissance company commander of the reconnaissance battalion.Xu Yunsheng is naturally a person who knows this truth, so he just reminded the other party.If he was really dissatisfied, he would not remind him, but would transfer the person away directly.

With the episode just now, when Xu Yunsheng was going to do something next, Yan Da just followed by, without saying a word.The four of them walked like this, and unknowingly came to a house in the city, where they saw an old man who was resting outside the door.

Looking at the old man's appearance, he was in his 50s and less than [-] years old. At that time, he was already considered a long-lived person.

"Hehe, brother, Gui Geng." Almost every place and every street in the city has been imprinted in his mind. Xu Yunsheng, who has basically completed the task, was just about to take a rest. When he saw the old man, he thought He walked over without thinking, asked in Mongolian, and sat down beside him.

The old man had already noticed Xu Yunsheng and the others.Seeing them sitting next to him, he was not surprised, but replied with a smile, "Old man, I am 56 this year."

"Oh, that's a long life." Xu Yunsheng said casually.

"Probably." The old man also smiled, with a look of reminiscence, all the vicissitudes of life were written on his face.

Seeing that the old man seemed to be talking about something, Xu Yunsheng didn't bother him, but reached into his bosom, took out a piece of dried meat, and took out a jug of old wine from the hands of two soldiers, and placed it in front of the old man .If you want to get what you want from others, you have to pay first, this is what Yang Chendong often said, but now he has been learned a lot by the scout camp who is good at inquiring about news.

The wine and meat suddenly placed in front of him made the old man who was sitting at the door basking in the sun stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xu Yunsheng and the other four with different eyes.

Allowing the old man to look at himself in front of him, Xu Yunsheng just smiled and didn't speak.Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly said, "Although you are dressed like Mongolians, if the old man is not wrong, you should be from the Ming Dynasty, and you are also soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"

Suddenly being identified, Yan Da and the two guards couldn't help but tense up, and even instinctively wanted to kill them.On the other hand, Xu Yunsheng didn't change his expression, he raised his arm casually, stopped the next actions of the three subordinates, turned around and looked at the old man with a smile and asked, "But I don't know why the old man thinks like this?"

"Hehe." The old man didn't seem to notice what Yan Da and the other three were doing, so he smiled casually and said, "Only people who understand etiquette can treat guests like this. If you are really Mongolians, you will never treat the old man like me." Politely."

It turned out that being too polite aroused the other party's suspicion. Xu Yunsheng self-reflected in his heart, whether scouts should learn to be more domineering when they go out to do errands in the future.

When he was still thinking about this loophole that he accidentally showed, the old man said again, "Although your Mongolian language is considered authentic, let's talk in Chinese. Hey, speaking of it, I haven't spoken Chinese for a long time. gone."

"Oh? My brother is also Han?" Xu Yunsheng immediately became interested. After all, besides his comrades-in-arms, it is still very gratifying to see a Han compatriot here.

"I'm half Han. My father is from the Ming Dynasty. Later, I met a woman from the prairie. They got married here and gave birth to me." The old man said with some embarrassment. But people will look down on it.

"I see." Xu Yunsheng didn't mean to look down on him. On the contrary, he was very curious about the behavior of the old man in front of him. He had a feeling that this old man might have some stories. "Brother, can I tell you my name?"

"Name?" The old man said meaningfully, and then fell into a burst of memories before he said, "My name is Kuobie, the old man, and Zhang Shibao in Chinese."

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhang. Nice to meet you." Xu Yunsheng cupped his fists very politely, did not mention the other party's name, only said it was a Chinese name, which was to express a kind of intimacy.And then, he even said something that shocked Yan Da and the two soldiers behind him, "The boy's name is Xu Yunsheng, and he is the commander of the mercenary reconnaissance battalion under Mr. Zhongdan."

Xu Yunsheng actually disclosed his identity directly, which is definitely not allowed in the regulations on reconnaissance soldiers.Unless he is one of his own people, as a scout, he must never reveal his identity. As the battalion commander, Xu Yunsheng couldn't possibly be unaware of this, but he just did it. puzzlement and doubt.

.

Chapter 694 The Spring in the City

Xu Yunsheng would say this, and he has his reasons for daring to say this.

First of all, he found that this old man named Zhang Shibao was very honest, otherwise, even if he saw it through, he didn't need to say it, because sometimes he might pay the price of his life if he said a wrong sentence.Secondly, he felt that Zhang Shibao still had a good impression of himself or Mingren.Third, even if he made a wrong judgment, he still has the confidence to keep the other party and not let the news of his appearance here be revealed.

It has to be said that Xu Yunsheng is quite courageous, but this time he made the right bet.
