The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 194 Secret Front
Even with the resettlement of silver and land property, the value given by Huang Han, a disabled veteran, has reached 240 taels of silver.

The immediate family members of their families will also be exempt from all corvee service. It stands to reason that with such an arrangement, disabled soldiers will at least have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

But too many veterans fell in love with the "Red Banner Army" group, and now they all feel at a loss like children who have lost their mothers.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, amidst the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, Huang Han organized a large-scale warm-up activity in a high-profile manner.

He personally took the "Red Flag Army" officers and assistants from house to house to condolences to the disabled soldiers and the bereaved families of the martyrs. Through on-the-spot inspections, he learned about the living conditions of the veterans and solved the practical difficulties faced by the disabled soldiers and the families of the martyrs on the spot.

After walking through dozens of houses in a row, these soldiers were all grateful and excited to see the head of the family visit. No one was dissatisfied with the status quo, and everyone kowtowed to Huang Han as a salute.

Many family members of the martyrs asked the head of the family to give the youngsters in the family a place as apprentices, because they found that those teenagers and half-grown children made rapid progress in daily literature and martial arts, and they believed that their nephews could become young apprentices with a bright future.

This is a good thing!The immediate family members of the martyrs and the "Red Banner Army" have both prospered and lost, and the loyalty of their nephews is beyond doubt.

Huang Han immediately stated that every martyr's family can send a boy aged 15 to [-] to join the juvenile soldier team. The admission criteria are relaxed, as long as they are not fools or disabled, basically they will stay.

The martyrs immediately burst into cheers when they received the clear answer from the head of the family, and the school-age boys in the family were immediately full of energy.

Most of the disabled veterans expressed their opinion that even though they have been honorably retired, they still will not relax and train themselves.

If the Patriarch needs these veterans in the face of a fierce battle, they will not hesitate to put on the armor and return to the battlefield.

Sure enough, the people who have paid for the country are the ones who have the most affection for the country. Huang Han was deeply moved. He secretly vowed to let the ordinary heroes never shed tears after bleeding.

Many veterans wanted to keep Huang Han at home for a meal, but Huang Han politely refused due to time constraints.

Because the last family arranged was Huang Sifang's family, the retired top official of the "Red Banner Army" and also the oldest, Huang Han was going to have a good drink with him.

Sending warmth is a kind of people-friendly measure, and of course it starts from the grassroots, starting with retired ordinary soldiers.

Huang Sifang is a sixth-rank military officer, so he was arranged last. He retired because he lost an arm. He was just arranged to manage civil affairs in Kaiping Town, and he will take up his post after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Huang Sifang knew that the head of the family would come and had already prepared the food and wine and waited anxiously. When he found Huang Han showing up with Hanzi and Song Pengfei, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

This is the lineup for the first time to fight. In his mind, Huang Han took the lead, followed by Hanzi. He, Yang Hanwei, and Yang Danian were trembling with nervousness, but they beat Ma Rufei without hesitation. At that time, Xiao Song rode his horse as a messenger behind them. , but calm and calm.

Thinking about the past and sighing about the present, Huang Sifang looked at the sleeve that was missing his right arm and sighed.

The six people drank happily, all of them were old brothers, of course they talked about everything, Huang Sifang expressed his impatience to take care of civil affairs and wanted to stay in the army.

He thinks that the injuries on his body are not serious. The only difficulty is that he has lost his right arm and cannot shoot arrows.He can also write and count, even if he can't go into battle and stay in the army to manage military supplies and food.

I visited dozens of veterans' households and found that many disabled veterans do not meet the basic requirements of soldiers, but they may not be without combat effectiveness. These people are obviously unwilling to waste their lives on this.

Huang Han had a new idea, and asked Huang Sifang: "Our army is facing great development in the future, and needs to face the infiltration and exclusion of various forces. Therefore, the Red Banner Army needs to set up a team dedicated to the secret front. I wonder if you have the confidence? Become the first head general of this team?"

Huang Sifang studied in a private school for two years with some culture, and within half a year he moved to the capital of Gyeonggi and experienced swords and blood, and his knowledge has changed greatly.

Of course he knew the truth that Mu Xiuyu would be destroyed by Lin Feng, and Huang Han meant that he was going to be responsible for intelligence collection and delivery, of course he was willing.

He said seriously: "As long as it is to serve the 'Red Banner Army', I am willing to do anything in a lowly position, and will do my best to do it well."

Huang Han said: "The people here today are all brothers who know the roots and know the bottom of each other's hearts. This matter cannot be spread outside the public. At present, it is only known to the six of us."

Hanzi, Yang Hanwei, Yang Danian, and Xiao Song all stood up and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we will not reveal any military secrets."

Huang Han said to Huang Sifang: "You will select the first batch of fighters for the secret front from among the disabled veterans. In my opinion, half of them have the conditions to rejoin the team and transfer to the secret front. You can determine the exact number.

Once selected by you, immediately resume the treatment they had before leaving the army, including yourself.You will come up with the budget for the funds, and Song Pengfei will allocate the funds himself, so there is no need for Zheng Xiaowen and Gao Youmou to walk away. "

This condition is too generous, and Huang Sifang was extremely excited. He asked, "What is the focus of work after the personnel are organized?"

"You lead some people to go to the capital to lurk in the name of doing business, and collect all the materials of the civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty, both black and white. Pay special attention to those civil and military generals who are closely related to Liaodong, including Xungui and the emperor's relatives, and fight for it. It is possible to discover the hidden pile organization that Jiannu has deployed in the capital."

The fool was dizzy and interrupted: "Sifang! I'm afraid this job is not easy. It's much more difficult than fighting in battle. I feel like I can't do it when I hear it."

Huang Sifang's face was flushed when he heard it, and he said: "Son, you idiot, you didn't realize that what I'm about to do is the work of the commander of Jin Yiwei."

Song Pengfei joked with a smile: "Brother Sifang has a bright future, congratulations! Do you still remember Li Ruolian, the Chief Banner Officer of Jinyiwei who built slaves with us, and the four Jinyiwei brothers? They are already amazing. I want a cow to go to heaven."

Huang Han said in an affirmative tone without changing his face: "That's true. The functions of the secret front we established are indeed similar to those of Dongchang and Jinyiwei."

In fact, you can't say this nonsense, there are suspicions of treason, Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and a general who organizes an organization similar to Jin Yiwei can be punished.

But the six people present did not have this awareness at all, and they were still discussing how to monitor the civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty and try to catch Jiannu's spies who sneaked into the capital.

Not only was he able to return to the team but also accepted the important task. Huang Sifang had mixed feelings. He solemnly stated: "My lord, I am well aware of the power, but everything that goes wrong is done by me alone. I have nothing to do with the adults. not related."
