Chapter 652 Commander
Many soldiers and officials on horseback, and some were walking. People rushed out from all over the place. When they greeted Zhang Han, their eyes also looked at the avenue in the south. Eight★1 Chinese website√√.
It was almost noon, and a stream of light came from the earth. With the gradually clear and exciting drum beats, the more exciting and neat steps sounded, Zhang Han felt that his heart had become wider and a sense of pride surged in his heart.
The new army in front of him, as well as the veterans who were trained, and the northern garrisons, his strength was far greater than that of Datong Town. Although Datong Town reported more than 70,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 war horses, his actual strength was the servants and personal soldiers led by generals of all sizes. The number of servants and personal soldiers was very limited, and he could fight at any time. Because only servants could train, the strength of Datong Town was actually far below He Yusheng.
Not to mention anything else, the new recruits who have been trained can easily defeat the main force of Datong Town, surround Datong Prefecture, and easily capture the city without having to go through hard battles.
In fact, He Yusheng's current strength, Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi towns, also had to add Yansui and Ji Town. The court could gather more than 100,000 combat soldiers with the power of the five towns, and its strength was similar to He Yusheng now. However, by the end of the year, the soldiers of these five towns could not match He Yusheng.
Li Shenming sighed: "Yusheng and I were in Taiwan, one regiment of Pi Island, one regiment of East Road, four regiments of North Road and East Road. The seven regiments on the grassland were all mainly veterans. After supplementing, three cavalry regiments were completely expanded, including Zhou Yao's Iron Cavalry regiments, Zhu Dayong and Duoer's Lancer regiments. The cavalry has expanded from more than 2,000 to more than 10,000. There are still twelve regiments of baggage guarding the forts and military platforms, transporting food and grass, and being responsible for logistics. In addition to the five newly formed combat corpses in Lizhuang, there will be five combat corpses and more than 20 baggage regiments in the next two months. By the end of the year, the warships exceed 50,000 and the baggage regiments exceed 100,000, and the force... well, it is enough to protect the territory and safeguard the people."
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
Zhang Han was silent, but there was also a little excited expression on his face. From nothing to reach, today he had 100,000 soldiers. This feeling, well, is really wonderful.
At this time, the new army regiments were approaching. When the flags were in sight, a large number of people were watching, almost crowded, and there were also many refugees from all over the northern Shaanxi. They have been living near various porridge sheds. He Yusheng has set up many tents for these refugees to live in. Now, just asking them to rest and ensure their three meals a day. It is said that they are porridge sheds. In fact, they eat not badly, and they even eat better than the good times when they were at home. These people are gradually recovering. He Yusheng has already launched recruitment publicity among them. Although they knew that He Yusheng's merchant soldiers were better than the imperial army, they had known that He Yusheng's military soldiers were better than the imperial army.
The treatment is much better, but many strong men are still hesitating. Compared to being a soldier, they are more willing to be a worker here in Yusheng or a tenant farmer. After staying here for a while, no one wants to go home after the desolate New Year. Compared to their desert-like hometown, this place is much better. For ordinary villagers and peasants, everything in Lizhuang seems to open a new door for them and let them see a new world. After having such an experience and seeing everything in Lizhuang, it is almost impossible to ask them to return to their hometown and return to the originally difficult world.
"Sir, here." People saw Zhang Han riding on the red horse, with a tall war horse, extremely divine horse. Zhang Han's figure also looked very tall and mighty. People made noises. At first, it was not neat, but later countless people clasped their fists and shouted in unison: "Sir Zhang!"
Zhang Han raised his hand to return the salute to the people. He rode his horse to the new army and saw the soldiers standing neatly under the military flag. He looked at the military flag and raised his hand to pay tribute to the soldiers who had been training for more than three months and had just completed the hard training for hundreds of miles.
Zhang Han's movement seemed to ignite a valve. The new soldiers widened their eyes, held their weapons tightly in their hands, and shouted desperately.
"Long live, long live, long live!"
Long live the sounds, like the tide and waves, pushing the atmosphere at the scene to the highest level. People shouted with all their strength, as if the voice was smaller than others, but they did not respect Zhang Han enough and were not loyal to adults enough.
At first, the people were hesitant and afraid, but under the leadership of the soldiers, tens of thousands of people also shouted together.
Zhang Han was extremely excited inside. He looked around. At this time, Li Shenming, Sun Jingting and others deliberately left some distance. Zhang Han felt a little lonely at first, but was soon driven away by a feeling of pride and pride. The situation in front of him was only one sentence: A real man should be like this!
Zhang Han pulled out his sword with his hand, raised it high with his right hand, and then clamped his legs against the horse's belly, driving the horse to gallop forward.
People were watching, watching the red war horses carrying Zhang Han carrying a sword and galloping in front of the soldiers. In people's eyes, Zhang Han's riding skills were very good. His image of a businessman in the past became blurred at this time. He became more and more like a real superior, a commander, and an invincible commander who could be trusted sincerely.
After running around the new recruits, Zhang Han drew a semicircle in the air with his sword and finally pointed to the north.
Zhang Shixiong rode his horse to follow Zhang Han half an arrow, and at this time he couldn't help shouting: "Qingcheng!"
"Qingcheng, Qingcheng, Qingcheng!"
People shouted together. This year's goal is to occupy the Guihua City, known as Qingcheng. This is the goal set by every military officer who is already known to each Heyusheng soldier. Even the new recruits were full of eager eyes. Seizing Qingcheng was a phased victory in the war against the Northern Barbarians. In the following years, the results were digested. At least, Heyusheng, led by Zhang Han, really had a base in the north. Even if Wang Xin was reborn, he would not be afraid of something like impeachment.
Before he knew it, people's hearts had already completely joined Zhang Han's side. Even if Zhang Han rebelled now, there would probably be many people following him. Unlike two years ago, even if He Yusheng's financial and military strength were enough to challenge Xuanda, people's hearts would not be attached to him and their foundation was still seriously unstable.
...
Huang Yucheng carried his son on his shoulders and shouted with the people, his voice quickly became hoarse.
He has been recently transferred to work in the refugee department, which is a temporary department. After the tide of refugee ended, it was dissolved. The Military Orders and the Military Affairs Department, the Military Forces Department, the Military Training Department and other departments cooperated to allocate a large number of officials and soldiers to settle the refugee. At the same time, the Military Training Department began to encourage young and strong men among the refugees to join the army with the cooperation of the propaganda department, and to dispel their plans to obtain land near Lizhuang or work as workers in the workshop.
Recently, Huang Yucheng has been busy with these things. It is estimated that it will take another month. It will be until the wheat harvest season that he will continue to follow Kong Minxing to continue to cultivate land and reclamation. The agricultural reclamation department will sooner or later become an independent department. Huang Yucheng probably will not be at a low position at that time.
The new army soldiers gradually returned to the camp, and Zhang Han and others also turned back amid the rumbling drums. The people watching around disperse, but most of them were talking about what happened today.
People are discussing when they can take down Guihua City. Now, due to the strong propaganda department, even ordinary people know the location and significance of Guihua City. In the past, the Mongols often threatened Xuanda and even crossed the border to attack Datong many times. However, although ordinary people hated the Northern Barbarians, they almost knew nothing about the situation on the Northern Barbarians.
When discussing these matters, He Yusheng and Zhang Han were of course praised the most, and the people in the military department were also praised. He Yusheng had replaced the original position of the government in the hearts of the people of Datong, and was obviously above the original government.
Zhang Han's Tiancheng and Zhenlu Guards' commander were actually the parents who now control the territory, but this identity has long been diluted. When people mentioned him, they only knew that he was the controller of He Yusheng, not the high-ranking military officer appointed by the court.
"Brother Huang, it's rare." Several men in green robe dressed as obvious scholars, stood at the door of Huang Yucheng's house and waited. When they saw Huang Yucheng coming back, they all bowed from afar.
When he returned to his doorstep, Huang Yucheng was in a very happy mood. Most of the family members were not there, and several servants should have also run out to watch the fun. Now that he is separated, Huang's wife doesn't like this kind of lively scene. She should have taken people to the field to see the wheat. She will be harvested soon after. Now each family is running hard to the field, especially this year's year's growth is very bad. It can be seen from the refugee tide. However, the wheat growth of each family is very gratifying. In contrast, some older people simply live in the field because the wheat ears are almost mature. They are afraid that someone will cut the wheat ears, so they simply live in the fields and keep guarding them day and night.
"Brother Qin, Brother Ning, Brother Li, you are rare."
Huang Yucheng put down his son and asked him to go back by himself. He bowed to these scholars and smiled faintly on his face.
Like Huang Yucheng, these people are scholars from Tiancheng Weixue, and they are all young students. They have a great chance to pass the exam. Most of them are between thirty and forty years old. In terms of the age of scholars, they are not young, but not too old.
In various parts of the Ming Dynasty, there were many people who were still busy in the examination room in their seventies. These people were still ambitious in their juren who could still take the ten or eight subjects. In the past, everyone often gathered together to figure out the meaning of the scriptures and polished the articles, and they were very familiar with each other. However, Huang Yucheng left the small circle and followed Kong Min around. His former partners first had less contact, but later because they didn't like each other, they simply broke off their friendship.
Huang Yucheng was thinking about the purpose of these people, and asked the servants who stayed at home to quickly boil water and make tea to entertain guests.
"Brother Huang doesn't have to be busy." Qin Banggu is a white-faced scholar. His tone was a bit irritating when he spoke. He felt something was wrong. He quickly continued: "I have important things to do when I wait. I have to leave after saying a few words."—
