The cheers lasted for unknown amount of time before they gradually subsided. The soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army who had vented their lives fell asleep one after another. The dream was undoubtedly a scene of killing the Tartars to establish achievements or the paradise of Paradise.

However, their opponents could only spend this night in uneasiness and nightmares! For the Great Mongolian Kingdom, Chen Dexing was a nightmare, and this nightmares were obviously just beginning.

When the morning light at dawn pierces the darkness, the two brightly lit camps became noisy at the same time. The Northern Expedition Army and the Mongolian generals both started to use breakfast, which may be their last meal in their lives, so they are more abundant than usual. On the Northern Expedition Army, there are wine and meat, and the meat is large pieces of beef and mutton. They were cooked last night and they felt very good to chew on them. The wine was made by the soju and the people were hot. Each person could get half a gourd, which was to give the soldiers courage. However, the Hans or Eight Banners of the Northern Expedition Army were all high in morale and did not need to be brave at all.

They are all professional aristocratic soldiers, as well as brainwashing of the Tiandaoism. In the words of later generations, they are reactionary troops that use feudal superstitions to arm their thoughts! Although they are extremely reactionary in their thoughts, this kind of army often has a very strong combat power when they first emerged!

The war was about to come, and everyone looked indifferent, chewing heavily and talking to each other with encouragement words. Some claimed to cut off the heads of several Mongolians, while others were "seeing in the paradise of the Paradise". Some were red eyes, as if their heads were about to roar, probably with the Mongols.

Zhang Hongfan, who had been in charge of the concentration camp for several months, is now having breakfast in this camp. He has now transformed from an instructor of Dayi to a commander, served as the brigade commander of the 7th Infantry Brigade, and has a thousand military generals. He is almost equivalent to the head of Qianhu in the Mongols. Before he was captured by Chen Dexing's army, he was the head of Qianhu in the Wanhu Mansion under Shuntian Road. Now he has finally "reincarnated his official position."

However, he felt that his future in Chen Dexing's side was far greater than in Shuntianfu Road. Not to mention how long his father Zhang Rou could manage the military service, Wanhu, but in the ranking of Zhang's Xingjiu, he decided that he would not be the turn of Wanhu (he has been a Wanhu in history). However, in Chen Dexing's side, his status is becoming increasingly important. Among the first-year graduates of the Army Military Academy, he is one of the best people.

As far as he knows, when the Ming King pacified Liaodong, the Northern Expedition Army would be expanded, and then his brigade would be expanded to more than 3,000 people. This would be a ten thousand households! And how old he was, he was only twenty-three years old, and he would be able to survive in the future and be in the commander of the division, which would be equivalent to ten thousand households!

And on Chen Dexing's side, he was a founding hero! When Chen Dexing pacified the world, can he Zhang Jiu be one generation away from Duke and Marquis?

Zhang Jiu's mind became hotter and hotter. He swallowed a meat pie in two bites, and then poured two more mouthfuls of soju. He stood up suddenly, swept around with red eyes, and most of the soldiers around him had finished eating. Zhang Jiu roared angrily: "Brothers, are you full?"

"I'm full!" the people below shouted in unison.

Zhang Jiu roared: "Put on armor! Holding weapons! Prepare to kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!" The generals roared, stood up and took out armor and equipment. They arranged the array in platoons. After the formation, the soldiers helped each other put on armor.

Because they were infantry soldiers, the generals were wearing infantry armor weighing dozens of kilograms, and it was a bit difficult to wear them. After the generals finished wearing armor, the platoon leaders of each platoon had to check the soldiers' armor, equipment and dry food one by one according to the regulations of the Northern Expedition Army. After they finished, they reported it loudly. The whole process seemed quite troublesome, but it was completed very quickly. After all, most of the officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army are well-trained and veterans who have been on the battlefield.

Seeing that all the troops were ready, Zhang Jiu shouted again and said, "Set out! Go kill the Tartars!"

"No!" the generals of the army responded loudly.

Zhang Jiu was also dressed neatly, with the same serene armor. However, the helmet was more refined, which was different from ordinary soldiers. There was also a golden star in the center of the helmet to indicate that the Northern Expedition Army now had a simple military rank system. It was divided into three levels: general, school, and lieutenant. Each level was divided into three levels, middle and junior, with a total of nine levels. Zhang Jiu's brigade commander was already the first level of the major general, the division commander was the lieutenant general, and the military general was the general. As for Chen Dexing himself, of course, he was the king listed above the general, and he had no military rank.

...

"Yang Axi, the leader of the Eight Banners, received the merits once, and could be exchanged for three 150 acres of Eight Banners and three banner slaves, and at the same time, they were promoted to the next level as the gentry leader!"

"The Eight Banners Zhenghong Banners and the Red Banners of Jin Amin once earned the merits, and they can be exchanged for three 150 acres of Eight Banners and three banner slaves, and they will be promoted to the next level as the genius leader!"

"The Eight Banners Zhengbai Banners and the Assistant to the Territory of the Dawei Dynasty once recorded the merits, and can be exchanged for..."

The Eight Banners soldiers who were preparing to take the battle gathered together at this time according to the A team, and the leaders of each A team read out loudly the "Reward Notice". The Reward Notice is a unique system of the Northern Expedition Army, which is to openly promote the merits and rewards. Anyone who has made any merits and received will be announced to the entire army. The purpose of this is to convince the public, whoever is not convinced can propose it to the instructor Dayi, and can also report it to the higher level until the Ming King Chen Dexing.

Another purpose of public rewards is to inspire battles! Yesterday, the pauper who had nothing but strength. Because of his meritorious service, he had farmland, serfs, and official positions in a blink of an eye... How can people not be envious and jealous?

This envy and jealousy are the driving force for making contributions in combat!

In addition, corresponding to this military merit reward system is that Wu Guiwen is light.

In contrast to the ancestral system of the Song Dynasty, where landlords and literati and officials shared the world, Chen Dexing's military and political group was the basis of Han samurai! The distribution of interests naturally revolved around military merits, land, serfs, official titles, and military merits! For the various Tartars in Liaodong who were included in the Northern Expedition Army system, joining the army and fighting was the only way to rise.

If they don’t want to be serfs for generations, they can only be selected as the Eight Banners Soldiers by their martial arts, then make meritorious and rewarded, and fight for wealth with one sword and one shot!

After the genius of each flag were recited for reward notice, the Eight Banners soldiers of each flag team were red, and the rewarded people stood up and shouted loudly: "Long live the Ming King! Long live!"

"Long live the Ming King!" The Eight Banners soldiers who did not receive rewards in this round also stood up and shouted. Fanatic cheers sounded again in the camp of the Northern Expedition Army, and the entire military camp boiled again.

...

When the slogan sounded, Chen Dexing was using breakfast in the central army's tent. Like ordinary soldiers, he also had meat, noodles and wine. Last night, he only slept for two or three hours, but his spirit is surprisingly good and he is inexplicably excited.

Because he knew that until tomorrow, he would be the master of Liaodong Peninsula and Goryeo! The real master of a country!

The voice of the guards commander Zhu Sijiu sounded outside the door: "King, the vanguards of each division have set out, and the guards are ready. Please give me some advice."

Chen Dexing stuffed the last small piece of meat pie into his mouth, swallowed it, then stood up, took his sword and hung it on his belt, then walked to the door and opened the curtain. Zhu Sijiu and Zhang Xizai appeared in front of him, and Chen Dexing said softly: "Get out!"

With a command, the sound of horns and drums followed one after another. Teams of soldiers wearing strong and held sharp armor came out from various camps and advanced to their respective target areas. The staff of each division and brigade had already arrived there in advance, and the flag bearers of each unit now have their own military flags (including the battalion) combat units above the Northern Expedition barracks (including the battalion) all have their own military flags, all with the unit numbers and various animal or weapon patterns. As long as the officers and soldiers of each unit find the flag, they can reach the designated location.

This time it was a military formation of 30,000 people! Not only infantry participated in the battle, but also artillery, heavy cavalry, light cavalry and other many other arms. According to later generations, it was a combination of multiple arms! Of course, it was a bit complicated to command. Fortunately, the Northern Expedition Army was strictly trained and practiced frequently, so it was not unhappy when things came to an end.

When the infantry arrived, the cavalry in front was already in a fight. It was not a big battle, but their respective light cavalry were fighting. The Northern Expedition Army dispatched three teams of the Eight Banners, while the Mongols dispatched five hundred-man teams to fly back and forth in the center of the two armies. They wanted to cover the layout of their respective formations. Without the joining of the Eight Banners, Chen Dexing's infantry would be difficult to arrange calmly, unless it was early to set off before dawn and complete the arrangement under the cover of darkness. Fortunately, Chen Dexing now has a light cavalry that can compete with the Mongolian cavalry.

The infantry brigade commanded by Zhang Jiu has completed the deployment, with two battalions of crossbowmen in front and one battalion commander and spearmen behind. In addition, a row of snatchers were deployed before the crossbowmen. The location of this infantry brigade is in the middle of the entire formation. Behind them is the array of the Guard Division, with bright red battle jackets and flags forming a red ocean, one side of which symbolizes the Ming King’s sun and moon. The sun and moon are erected high. In the further rear, a huge hot air balloon is slowly rising to the sky, with a round sun and a new moon embroidered on the balloon. The sun and moon are bright. This is the symbol of the Ming King Chen Dexing!

However, in the basket under the balloon, it was not the fairy in white, Mo Yingniang, but the non-commissioned officer in the junior class of the Northern Expedition Army Army Academy. His mission was to observe the battlefield condescendingly with another staff officer, then record it on paper, put it in a bamboo tube and throw it on the ground.

The goddess Stick Mo Yingniang also went to the front line, just a white dress, not wearing armor, riding a white horse, following Chen Dexing closely. Her pretty face was full of holy and solemn expressions, as if she was not a woman on earth, but an immortal in the sky, and she had no emotions and desires at all. Just a pair of bright eyes, there would occasionally be a hint of excitement and enthusiasm.
