Chapter seven hundred and sixty-eight recruiting
Zhang Luoxing retreated to the camp, and Yang Meng also retreated behind the Kangba Jingke. These Kangba Jingkekes should be regarded as the strongest troops under Yang Meng. With the tall horses bred in Yunnan, this cavalry is obviously elite at a glance!
But this group of Kangba Jingji also has a great weakness. First, it is that it is heavy and has a lot of load on horses. Second, most of the horses are descendants of horses from Europe, America and West Asia. Although it has enough carrying capacity, it has no endurance. This Kangba Jingji has a great advantage in short-distance charge, but it will stop after long-distance pursuit.\
There are BMWs that have both load capacity, charge and sufficient endurance, and are not without them, but they are very small and are all aliens among horses. It is impossible to breed in large quantities in the short term. As for whether it can be done in the long term, Yang Meng has no idea.
Since Yang Meng has considered using cavalry, these things must be covered in everything. Not all horses can be used as military horses. It is true that these tall and big horses are suitable for charging, but as military horses, these horses are indeed a little worse in terms of endurance.
If we only consider the battle in Beijing and Tianjin, such a war horse is undoubtedly suitable. Although Beijing and Tianjin have some strategic depth, this strategic depth is only for warships. For war horses, the Beijing-Tianjin area cannot be regarded as a long-distance raid. Yang Meng's purpose of equiping cavalry was to fight in the northwest, Mongolia, and the other was to fight against Tsarist Russia in the north. These places were ten times more than ten times more than the Beijing-Tianjin area. These war horses were obviously inferior to their endurance.
Which of the Eight Banners Cavalry, Mongolian Cavalry, European Cavalry, Kangba Jingkai, Yiding Tucao, and Nian Army Cavalry, is suitable for long-distance raids, which one is suitable for close-range charge, and which one is both. These are all analyzed and trained. The best way to use them is to test them in actual combat.
The Nian Army’s horse team’s tactics include both the Eight Banners’ tactics, the Mongolian tactics, and the riding skills of the Northwest Swordsmen. Although this is a bit inappropriate, it is undoubtedly a good attempt.
Wu Sangui organized the Yi Ding Kuk, one was to value the strength of the mountain people in Yunnan, and the other was that the mountain people in Yunnan were small in size. The requirements for horses were also small. The mountain monkey formed by Yang Meng was undoubtedly a good choice. He was renovating a steel barbarian gun, which was also very suitable for cavalry combat. However, the mountain monkey was short, lacked arm strength and insufficient arm length, which was also a considerable weakness for cavalrymen, and the mountain monkey's equestrian skills also need to be tempered.
Kangba Jingqi. He is strong in shape, long-lasting in strength, superb equestrian skills, and first-class swordsmanship, but they have too high requirements for horses and too high load. Long-distance raids are obviously at a disadvantage.
The Eight Banners soldiers, Mongolian Iron Cavalry, and equestrian skills should be possible, but their marksmanship still needs to be tempered. In a short period of time, it is difficult to follow the monkeys and Kangba Jingqi. As for the Nian Army, the integration training will take time. In two to three months, the battle in Beijing and Tianjin will surely become fierce. Now, recruiting the Nian Army to form cavalry is a bit hasty for Yang Meng, but it is still timely.
“Camp on the spot!”
After looking at the sky, it was almost dusk. I was afraid that the matter of the Nian Army would not be able to be done today, so I could only deal with it for a night here. Yang Meng also wanted to see how Kangba's elite cavalry trained.
The Kangba Jingqi camped very quickly, and they were very adapted to living in the wild. In less than half an hour, the camp of 5,000 cavalry had already taken shape. Unlike the official horse camp, the horses of Kangba Jingqi were nailed outside the camp. Once someone attacked the camp, the cavalry could get on the horse immediately. Moreover, the camp with only tents and horses was not very conspicuous in the wilderness, and there was no meticulous reconnaissance network. It was not easy to find them in the grassland or wasteland.
After camping, I buried a pot to make rice. Kangba Jingqi learned the method of digging smokeless stoves taught by Yang Meng. When cooking, there were only smoke columns with smoke smells but no rising smoke in the camp, which was also one of the ways to hide their whereabouts.
The five thousand horse team left a warning team of more than 300 people. They also had a horse-drawn way of eating, and their vigilance was quite good. The Ranger was also released. After a round, the Kangba Jingqi basically met Yang Meng's requirements.
Yang Meng was patrolling the camp of Kangba Jingqi, and the Nian Army's sentry detectives were also monitoring the Kangba Jingqi opposite. After observing for nearly an hour, the masters of the Nian Army also evaluated the Kangba Jingqi, which was a very difficult horse team!
If this horse team is really a Kangba Jingqin who is really a heroic knot, the Nian Army will not even have a chance to run. The Northwest Swordsman who has experienced horse battles knows how terrifying the Kangba Jingqin is on horseback. These analysis is put in front of Zhang Luoxing, and how to make a decision is his business.
"Dear banner masters, Mr. Yang San from Yunnan is going to recruit us. This is the Nian Army roster he gave. Please see if it is true?
Now, the horse team opposite is likely to be the Kangba Jingqi. To be honest, if it is the real Kangba Jingqi, we can't even run away. How to decide on this matter requires all the flag owners to make an idea."
The structure of the Nian Army is loose and far less regular than the Taiping Army. The Nian Army is divided into five flags, yellow, white, red, black and blue. Zhang Luoxing is both the leader of the alliance and the leader of the yellow flag. Although the other four flags have a rule of governing relationship with Zhang Luoxing, sometimes Zhang Luoxing cannot command them.
Zhang Luoxing is from Anhui, and most of the other banner owners are from Anhui, but the big flags and small flags under the general flag are messy, including Shandong, Zhili, and Henan. The relationship between these big flags and small flags and general flags is similar to that of the Nian Army. Some are bandits, some are loud horses, and some are villagers from a village. The most are clans and relatives.
The Nian Army is like a green forest alliance. When doing big things, everyone gathers together. When they usually have nothing to do, they go back to their own houses to find their mothers. Yang Meng's method is undoubtedly to hold the weakness of the Nian Army. After picking up the list given by Zhang Luoxing and reading it, all of them changed their faces.
The Kangba Jingqi was blocked at the entrance of the camp, and his family's background was revealed by the official army. Rebellion may be a temporary courage, but when it comes to life, the banner owners are all depressed.
"Zhang Zhengqi, why don't we surrender? After all, the brothers come out and make a living. According to people in the south, Xiangyong and Chu Yong are treated well, five taels of silver a month, which is much better than taking our brothers to fight to death!"
The person who spoke was Hou Shiwei, the head of the general red flag of the Nian Army, who had the farthest relationship with Zhang Luoxing. The head of the general blue flag, Han Laowan, is the nephew of Zhang Luoxing. Gong Deshu, the head of the general white flag, and Su Tianfu, the head of the general black flag, is Zhang Luoxing's sworn brother. There is a difference in closeness and distantness! If it weren't for the huge clan of Hou Shiwei, who wouldn't know who the general red flag was?
But Hou Shiwei, who has a huge clan, has the greatest weakness! The nine-lithic period in Woyang County is the capital for Hou Shiwei to start his business. The roster is clearly written. If the official army is serious, then there will be no nine-lithic period in Woyang!
"Uncle, Mr. Hou's words are good. But you have to be careful of the court's destruction! Wasn't Liangshan recruited? What's the final result?"
Among the five major banner leaders of the Nian Army, Han Laowan has read some of the most cunning books. Yang Meng's purpose was that he said to Zhang Luoxing. Most of the others were heroes who were in the world. It is true that they could fight, but there were not many things in their stomachs.
"Wolf's words are good. Then Mr. Yang San from Yunnan also said that after recruiting the amnesty, we will take us to fight foreigners. We are not afraid of war. Our Nian Army soldiers are all heroes with tricks, but it would be bad if Mr. Yang San was holding us as a gun.
I heard that the capital was fighting hard! All the five imperial villages were burned, and more than 100,000 of them died in the Eight Banners soldiers. All of us were filled in, and we were afraid we would not be used as anything."
This is Zhang Luoxing’s concern. What is recruiting is nothing to do with the Nian Army. Everyone just wants to ask for food in troubled times. The Nian Army does not have the intention of establishing a country like Hong Yang. They just came out to get along with the world to avoid starving to death.
As a soldier, Hou Shiwei said it was good. Five taels of silver a month were used to control food and accommodation, which was a good condition for the Nian Army. However, I was afraid that they would be killed by the court one by one like the heroes who were docked in Liangshan!
"After that being said, most of the people in our Nian Army have small families. How the court treats the thieves, the banner masters don't know. No matter what you banner masters do, our children of the Hou family, who are in charge of the Red Banner, agreed to recruit you."
When it comes to clans, Hou Shiwei had to stand up. It was good to be a soldier and pay. Recently, the Taiping Army there was not a good fight. He was suppressed by Zeng Zuo Er butcher. The Zuo butcher in southern Anhui was powerful. Although the Nian Army had been better than a few times, there were many people who died. Hou Shiwei was not very optimistic about the Taiping Army.
"Master Hou should not be so arbitrary. Since Master Yang San came here with the reputation of the world, it means that he wanted to discuss his loyalty with us. Master Yang San's reputation may not be very clear about you, but I, Han Laowan, still know a little about it. Today, Hunan and Hubei support Master Yang San.
The Yang family business in our Lianghuai is also a business of Yang Sanye’s family. Over the years, we have seen it, and many brothers have also been helped by the Yang family business. Why didn’t our Nian Army steal the Yang family’s business?
First, the Yang family business has a knife hand, and the second is the Yang family business business Renyi, uncle, do you think that it will not be necessary for Mr. Yang to say that it will take several years to say it? Is this true?”
As half of the Nian Army, Han Laowan saw Hou Shiwei's attitude firm, while Gong Deshu and Su Tianfu's two uncles were unclear, so he could only come out to smooth things over and analyze the situation.
"Well! I said it, it's really true. When Mr. Yang said it for a few years, he gritted his teeth and said it. I won't hear it wrong!"
After reminding her nephew Han Laowan of the clan, Zhang Luoxing also knew that he had overlooked something, as if Mr. Yang had another explanation!
"Then let's vote for Mr. Yang San! Now we can't escape. Our old master, Mr. Yang San, knows that if we really fight to the house, our Nian Army will be dispersed. It's better to follow Mr. Yang San to join the army to earn wages. If we accept the recruitment, we must have the conditions, that is, we will only fight with Mr. Yang San, and the others will not be able to do it!"
Yang Meng's last sentence was in vain. Han Laowan really tasted the taste. With Han Laowan's explanation, Zhang Luoxing also admitted it. Now, I'm afraid he won't admit it.
"Di Shu, is this Tianfu going on?"
"Listen to my brother!"
"I'm afraid it won't work if I don't do this!"
With the response from Gong Deshu and Su Tianfu, the five major banner leaders of the Nian Army formed a solidarity, but the big flag below and the small flag still have to talk about it. After all, the Nian Army is not a regular army, and it would be bad if the people below did something wrong and the major affairs of recruitment were caused.
After a night of busy work, Zhang Luoxing brought the four general flags of the Nian Army to Yang Meng's camp. Not many people came this time, but judging from the outfit, he should be the top leaders of the Nian Army.
"What? Have you agreed?"
"Well! We promised Mr. Yang's revenge, but we also have the conditions, that is, the Nian Army will only fight with Mr. San!"
Zhang Luoxing said the conditions, and Yang Meng nodded slightly, as if he agreed.
"Are you Han Laowan? Is that right last night, I'm a sensible person.
Zhang Luoxing’s Nian Army is not just you, but they should have 50,000 or 60,000 to gather together, right?
Those who are willing to farm, I will share the land with them and be honest and safe! Those who are willing to go out and make money will follow me. None of the bachelors and bandits can leave, and they will follow me to fight.
I want you to be a cavalry, but when it is time to do your best, no one is allowed to hide his own private interests. In war, one person will always die. One person will be punished with two hundred taels of pension, and then it will be broken.
Don't worry! My reputation is better than your nuggets. I don't want to do the killing of you, but I don't know how many people died in the impermanence of war. Before, I was in Baliqiao and Zhangjiawan, and my men were killed for 10,000 yuan. Some of them cannot afford to die. If you don't want to bring them, war is just a life of licking blood from the knife. It is impossible for people to die.
Let's see the good show later!"
The organization of the Nian Army is too loose and easy to be organized in detail. The shadows are all inserted into the Nian Army in teams. Now among the more than 20,000 Nian Army, there are more than 1,000 new soldiers. If Zhang Luoxing does not agree, Kangba's elite cavalry can kill all the leaders of the Nian Army in half an hour under the guidance of the New Army.
The show Yang Meng watched for Zhang Luoxing and others was also simple, that is, they had helped several villagers a few days ago. Their family had divided more than ten acres of land and a load of grain. Now these villages are all affiliated with the Yang family's farms.
Yang Meng's meaning is very clear. If he follows me, he will not only be able to serve in the army and earn money, but also have fields and food for the elderly at home.
"Third Master, why don't you let those bachelors and bandits go?"
After seeing this, Zhang Luoxing was convinced. He even had to take the Nian Army and could not even run away by himself!
"Don't keep them and let them go back and harm their neighbors? These people are used to eating looted food in the Nian Army, and can they compare with ordinary people?
After Zhang Luoxing followed me, he would restrain your subordinates according to military law and follow these Kangba cavalry to study hard. In a month, they will take you to Beijing. In this month, you must pack up the head and tail of the Nian Army. If I hear that there will be Nianzi rebellion in Zhilu, Lu, Henan and Anhui, you will bring your Nian Army back and kill all their families. If you don’t take action, I will kill all you!”
Taking away the Nian Army actually took away the bandits and strong men from Zhi, Shandong, Henan and Anhui areas. The so-called Nian Army is the green forest in this area. Letting them join the army is also beneficial to the local area. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
