Come to Daming with military supplies

Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty Chapter 697 Identifying the God of War Under Yang Chendong's order, a large number of trees and stones were carried into the city, and temporary houses were either reinforced or erected directly from the ground.Now that we want to choose this place as the base camp, it is natural to establish a place for the army to live.

A row of heroic cavalry stepped off their horses and became construction workers to build their own homes.Not only them, but thousands of people in the city were also busy. Among them, except for the children, everyone else joined the army of building the city together.

The old and young men worked together with the mercenary soldiers and could earn one or two taels of silver every day, which was naturally a great temptation for them.Even the women entered the logistics battalion to help cook together, so they can not only eat three meals in the army, but also earn half a tael of silver a day. This is an unprecedented good thing.

For thousands of people in the city, silver is already a very distant thing, and they almost have no impression of it.The daily necessities are that the men go hunting and the women mend their clothes, just to survive without being starved to death.But now, the emergence of mercenaries has brought them new hope. They are already fantasizing that with enough silver, one day they can buy the good things they have always wanted to buy but dare not.Maybe when that day comes, they can also live a human life.

Yang Chendong has never been short of money.The creativity of Chixian City has surpassed that of any other force.Tianwaitian Trading Company has also become the richest trading company in the world today, and the rare goods produced by them have been distributed to all continents and eight places. Even some unfriendly forces have never openly excluded Yang's goods.After all, there are some things that even their nobles and royal families like. Once they publicly reject them, they will no longer be able to get the goods they like, and get items that can improve their quality of life to a higher level.

As the saying goes, it is easy to do things with money.Yang Chendong firmly believes that when a large amount of money is spent, more people will be attracted to Shicheng, either to work or to settle here.It won't be long before this place will definitely become a big city, a strong city.

Since it is called Shicheng, Yang Chendong has certain thoughts and hopes in his heart, that is to build this city into one of the largest nearby cities.In order to achieve this goal, he needs to expand the original area of ​​the city on the basis of the original, starting with ten times the original size, and the number of workers required for this is an astronomical figure.

Just thinking about the lack of manpower, Humang came.He brought a total of [-] captive migrant workers, and Yang Chendong laughed when he heard that, "Very well, arrange it immediately and let them start working. By the way, in order for them to devote their entire body strength to the maximum, you can tell them , If you perform well, not only can you regain your freedom, but you can also get a salary that is several times higher than outside."

Yang Chendong seemed to be in a good mood, Hu Mang agreed immediately, and took the opportunity to talk about the performance of the independent cavalry on the battlefield.In the end, he took the initiative to conduct a self-criticism, saying that his leadership was not effective, and asked for punishment.

The ten cavalry battalions established after the Independence Regiment were not trained by Humang, they were just ordinary Beiming Guard soldiers.Speaking of military quality, it can only be said to be average. If it was not for the consideration that they did not want to reveal their identities and whereabouts at the time, these people would have been released at that time.

But since they stayed for such a long time, and after the other party learned about the situation of the mercenaries, they also wanted to join them, Yang Chendong naturally couldn't refuse.This gave them the opportunity to enlist in the army, or even become an honorable cavalryman.

But a weak foundation is a weak foundation, this is an indisputable fact.After World War I, too many of their weaknesses and shortcomings have been exposed.

Ordinarily, if such an army is replaced by other generals, it should be abandoned.After all, it takes a lot of energy and financial resources to train a qualified cavalryman, and even training an excellent cavalryman is far more time-consuming and labor-intensive than training five infantrymen.

But since they were destined to join the mercenary army, Yang Chendong couldn't just let it go in line with the principle of not abandoning or giving up.After a little thought, he took the initiative to say, "Well, I will give you one month. During this month, unless the situation is urgent, otherwise, no combat missions will be arranged for these ten battalions. And one month later... The assessment will be carried out, and those who pass can stay, and those who are unqualified will be given travel expenses to let them leave the army."

After all, these cavalrymen are also descendants of the Han family. Based on this, Yang Chendong deserves to give them a chance.

Humang was originally worried that the sixth young master would be angry, so he directly dismissed those soldiers who had just become cavalry. After all, survival of the fittest in the army is too common.If that's the case, as the head of the independent regiment, he can't say anything.

Fortunately, the sixth young master still misses his old love and promised to give the brothers a chance to become stronger.Immediately, he respectfully saluted a military salute, "Thank you, young master, and I thank you on behalf of the four thousand brothers below."

"Hehe." Seeing that Hu Mang was sincerely thanking, Yang Chendong changed his face and said solemnly, "What I want is not gratitude but hope that they will all stay after a month."

"Yes." Humang saluted again to express his decision.

The order was conveyed to the army, and when the ten new cavalry battalions of the independent regiment heard the final decision of the sixth young master, many people's eyes were bloodshot.They know that the best opportunity in their life may also be the last opportunity has come, a chance that can change their life has come.

Perhaps their abilities were mediocre in the past, and they could even be described as very weak.But that's just due to military regulations. In such an environment where everyone lives in vain, even if you want to show off, there is no chance, let alone conditions.Think about it, can an army that can only barely eat enough food have any strong combat effectiveness?

But now, their eating, drinking and looting are not a problem, and they don't even need to build cities like the two cavalry reinforcement regiments and Jurchen cavalry regiments, but only need to concentrate on training.In such an environment, if they can't improve their own strength within a month, then they are really useless, and they really don't deserve anyone's sympathy and understanding for them.

Although they still can't have a strong horse combat power like the Jurchen cavalry regiment in a month, at least they should be better than ordinary cavalry, reaching the standard of second-class cavalry.

With this belief, the independent regiment went out of the city for training every day at dawn.They would not come back until it was dark and completely invisible, and after dragging their tired bodies to eat a full meal, they quickly entered the temporary barracks to rest.

Training for at least six hours a day, but no one complained of suffering or tiredness. They were all working hard to change and improve themselves.

The independent group is changing at an astonishing speed. Just like them, Shicheng is changing day by day.After the simple barracks were built, Yang Chendong gave another order, and some old houses in the city were demolished one after another, and the stones and wood removed were used to build the outer city wall.

In Yang Chendong's eyes, most of the original buildings in the city were substandard.Not only are their houses poorly built and not strong enough, but even the layout is too chaotic.The streets are too narrow and there is no plan. No matter how large the territory and population of such a city is, it still feels extremely backward.

Since the city is named by myself, it must look like a big city.For a while, the city began to become empty, and more and more uninhabited houses in the city were demolished to build the city wall.After only ten days had passed, there was an extra fortified outer city with a length of six or seven miles on the outskirts of Shicheng. From a distance, there was a trace of majesty, the rudiment of a big city.

The movements here in Shicheng naturally attracted the attention of other surrounding forces.Especially the nearby Tatars, the original city belonged to them, but now it is occupied by others, the five thousand civilian men sent to fetch water were also taken away by others, and two hundred of the one thousand cavalry sent were killed. ride left and right.

This is already hatred, the kind of hatred that has to be reported.

Not only the Tatar army, but Hara Ruochu of the Wala tribe who had suffered at the hands of Yang Chendong before, also sent scouts to inquire about their news after the defeat.The movement here in Shicheng was big enough, and of course it caught their attention, and they were eager to try it for a while.

In addition, there is also the Mobei Mongolian Division.

Su De Khan suffered a great loss in Yang Chendong's hands, and he also received some criticism when he returned to the tribe, which made him feel ashamed.And at this time, the scouts sent back news that they had found the Five-Star Army that had made them suffer, and they were building Shicheng.But at the same time, another piece of news came along, that is, the five-star army is actually a mercenary army, and their leader is the God of War of the Ming Dynasty who once defeated Yexian, the leader of Wala, with a few victories and many victories.

The Five-Star Army is a mercenary army, and the army that built the first city is a mercenary army.

When this news was intentionally released by Yang Chendong, it quickly shocked the area, causing some forces that were still ready to make a move had to suppress the idea of ​​​​making a move first, and decided to wait and see.

Who is it first?Presumably no one on the grasslands is unclear.

In the civil engineering change three years ago, this person won more with less, defeated the main force of the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands, and almost broke through the capital of the Ming Dynasty at one point. What kind of scenery is that?

But such a powerful person with a strong cavalry team was finally defeated by a Han Chinese scholar who was said to be in his early twenties, and this person also got an even more resounding nickname after the war-God of War.

Chapter 699 Three Thousand Northern Ming Cavalry

Bringing the Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty Chapter 699 Three thousand northern Ming cavalry food was sent out on time every day, and Abdullah also went up to the city tower to check every day.Not only him, but all the officers and soldiers in the guards are paying attention to this army under the city all the time. After a long time, even the people of Beiming in the city will seek connections to go to the tower, just to see the brave man The appearance of the army under his command.

This was unbelievable, but everyone was shocked.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. After stationing that day, the third division of Lengfeng began their military training and drills in the early morning of the next day.

Leng Feng's Third Division has also been expanded to a certain extent after the Battle of Liaohe, and some of them are soldiers from the former Beiming Guard.They and the veterans of Leng Feng broke up into one regiment, forming the fourth and fifth battalions of each regiment.

In other words, the fourth battalion and the fifth battalion of each regiment of the first, second, and third regiments are considered recruit battalions, and their combat power is relatively weak.It's just that this is weak and in comparison, even if it is used to fight against the Jurchen cavalry regiment, it will not give way.

There are a total of six battalions, and because of the relationship between the new construction not long ago, the combat power has not yet reached the comprehensive standard of Leng Feng.In order for them to catch up in time, division commander Wu Sheng and political commissar Chen Bo intentionally increased the level and standard of their training.Now that I have time to stay in the city, of course the training will not be thrown away, not only that, but the intensity has also been strengthened.

Every day at dawn, the soldiers of these six battalions got up, first ran around the camp a few times, and stopped after they had covered ten kilometers, and then practiced chopping knives. Cut out two hundred knives.After doing this, it's time for breakfast, and the soldiers have half an hour to rest.

After breakfast, the training continued as before, with two hundred strikes per person, followed by target training.Of course, considering the amount of ammunition, it is impossible to take live ammunition when you come up. You must first practice various postures, such as holding a gun. It takes an hour for one person to practice. of stones to practice their stability and more.

In the afternoon it was time for cavalry training.Get on the horse and chop stabs, get on the horse and raise the gun, the three-three system military program training, etc.

At night, it was time. First, there was a half-hour sparring practice. The soldiers put on all kinds of armor, and then they fought with wooden knives. You come and I go down. Bleeding and injury are common.After half an hour, it will be a day, half rest and half study time.

At least half an hour of learning culture and various skills including maps, learning gestures, etc., before entering the day's sleep time.At this time, the soldiers would snore in various ways after entering the military tent, and there would even be the sound of teeth grinding, farting and so on.But no one blamed the other comrades anymore, because everyone was so tired that it could be said that they just touched the pillows.

Repeatedly, every day is the same training.All this fell into the eyes of the generals of the Northern Ming Army and the common people on the tower.Abdullah sighed in his heart more than once, "This is a strong army. Their training methods are very scientific. Such an army is definitely not something they can stop. Don't say that he only has more than 1000 infantry in his hands now. Even if he was given 1 or 5 people, he wouldn't expect to be able to defeat such a powerful enemy.

"I hope, I hope Shangguan can agree to open a way for them. It is definitely a nightmare to be an enemy of such a person." General Abdullah sighed in his heart, and was also anxiously waiting for Shangguan reply.This lasted ten days, and finally a scout cavalry came from afar, together with a letter in his arms, which represented an attitude towards mercenaries in the Nuergandus area.Whether it is war or cooperation, we will see the outcome soon.

Abdullah took the letter from the scout with apprehension in his heart, and unfolded it silently. His expression changed constantly, and his brows sometimes wrinkled and sometimes relaxed.

The letter was written by Song Quan, commander of the capital.According to the letter, Jin Yiwei can already conclude that the Five-Star Army is part of the mercenary army. In other words, the horse robbery that happened here before, including the Liaohe incident, should have been done by mercenaries.

Thinking about it, I am afraid that this army is the only army in the world that can destroy more than [-] enemies without leaving the slightest mark or evidence.

The letter also said that since the mercenaries provoked them first, it would be no problem for them to fight back appropriately.Considering the strength of the mercenaries, considering that there is no order from above, and considering that Yang Chendong is also a loyal man recognized by Daming, so it is only a proper counterattack, and there is no need to do his best.

Seeing this, Abdullah also breathed a sigh of relief.He no longer considered what the mercenaries had done to them before. His observations these days told him that this mercenary was not easy to mess with, very badly.

What followed in the letter reassured Abdullah even more. Considering the actual situation of Jianzhou left guards, they would not be allowed to fight in person.Not only Jianzhou Zuowei, but also the larger Jianzhouwei and Shenyang Zhongwei nearby have no cavalry establishment, so even they are all used.This time, the higher-ups will directly send [-] cavalry to test the strength of the mercenaries. All Abdullah needs to do is to stand under the tower and record everything that happened from the beginning to the end of the war in detail. Report it truthfully.

After reading the letter, Abdullah felt mixed feelings in his heart.

After all, the higher-ups still refuse to let the mercenaries go easily, but want to be selective and test it appropriately, but is this necessary?
