The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 61
As for the addition of a civil servant in the army—the trainee master Zheng Xiaowen, everyone can understand.

Originally, both the battalion soldiers and the guard army would have civil positions, but most of them were scholar-officials who acted as officials, and it was relatively rare to have a rank even from the ninth rank.

But looking at who Zheng Xiaowen's father is, there will be no one who is rare and strange.

In fact, Huang Han didn't care about other things at all, he was especially satisfied with the thirty cavalrymen sent by Zheng Guochang who were skilled in bow and horse, and he drank the wind wine with these people that day.

A group of rough men drank a lot of wine together, and then listened to Song Pengfei and Hanzi's story about the surprise attack on Zunhua, saying that everyone got at least 40 taels of silver.

The eyes of these cavalry were bright, and they quickly changed their attitudes. They were all ready to settle down as soon as they came, and also strive to chop off the heads of a few slaves to get promoted and make a fortune.

Yongping Fucheng was breached, and Jiulitai Village was only a dozen miles away from the Fucheng. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, dozens of Ming troops fled here. The reason why these people chose to flee here was of course the good story.

The Ming army believed that there was Zheng Yacha in Jiulitai Village, so if they ran here, they would find an organization.

Huang Yizhou was an officer of the Ming Dynasty, so of course he would gather the remnants of the soldiers, but he was very cautious. Those who escaped from the Ming army who could not tell their history or were unknown to anyone would be tied up first.

In fact, there were no spies among the defeated Ming army that day. Jiannu had just captured Yongping Prefecture, and they were busy robbing and sleeping beautiful women, so they didn't care about counting on a remote hill.

Most of the Ming army who escaped to Jiulitai were cavalry. In fact, only the cavalry had the chance to escape when the Jin army attacked after encountering it. It is not easy for the infantry to outrun the horse with two legs.

Many of these Yongping cavalrymen are seriously injured and need time to recuperate. Now there are at least [-] cavalrymen who are not injured or have recovered from their injuries and have been taken in by Huangyi Prefecture as servants.

These people should be good soldiers who can rush out without breaking up and take the initiative to find the organization, and their riding skills are not bad, otherwise they won't be able to escape at all.

The first batch of 30 cavalrymen of the Ming army began to be reborn since they followed Huang Han. The survivors were all warriors. Huang Han realized the truth of a raging army, and took over the defeated cavalry in Yongping. After seeing a few small flags, they will also be infected by the military spirit of this army in time.

Huang Han, who was trying to expand his team, didn't know that this little guy was already in the emperor's heart.

The platform of the Forbidden City is full of spring, and when Liang Tingdong read out that the first hero who captured Zunhua was Dongsheng Zuowei and Huang Han who tried thousands of households, Chongzhen was a little stunned.

Emperor Chongzhen had just finished dealing with Zheng Guochang. Due to a coincidence, when Dong Nu came to attack Yongping Mansion, he happened to be away, so he escaped a catastrophe.

As long as Zheng Guochang went to his home to celebrate the New Year with his family, he felt valued and was willing to sacrifice his life to repay the kindness of the Zheng Envoy by beheading him. He still has some impressions.

After Liang Tingdong finished reading the list of heroes who captured Zunhua, he immediately asked, "Liang Aiqing, do you know how many Shiqian households named Huang Han in Dongsheng Zuowei?"

Knowing that the emperor would ask this question, the shrewd and capable Liang Tingdong had already prepared lessons.

He also discovered that the Ministry of War had just promoted a Dongsheng Zuowei named Huang Han to the rank of Qianhu Guan, and the paperwork had been issued in less than three days, and another Dongsheng Zuowei also named Huang Han was appointed In order to take the first major contribution to the capture of Zunhua City, Liu Zhilun wrote it as the first general to request a reward.

Liang Tingdong and Zheng Guochang were old friends, so he immediately brought a few cavalrymen from Zunhua to report their meritorious service to his friends for verification.

Zheng Guochang only knew that Huang Han sent him to the capital and went back, but he didn't know what would happen after that.

But after interrogating the people sent by Liu Zhilun, he confirmed that Huang Han, who was walking home, joined Liu Zhilun's team, and at Huang Han's suggestion, the whole army rushed to Zunhua and won a big victory.

Zheng Guochang felt very relieved when he learned about the cause and effect. Who would dare to question that story after that?His insight into the bead is already a certainty, and the Holy Son of Heaven will reward him!
So he talked with his friend for an entire hour, even explaining clearly the family background and physical characteristics of Huang Han and his son, and asked his friend to support the younger generations.

Therefore, Liang Tingdong should be one of the few ministers in the Ming Dynasty who knew Huang Han and his son well.

The emperor opened his mouth to ask, and Liang Tingdong's answer was of course decent and informative.

He described the situation of the Battle of Zunhua in detail, and told the story of Huang Han being spotted by Liu Zhilun and trying to invite him to join the team with his armored servants as if Liu Xuande visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang.

Chongzhen was very satisfied with the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and taking advantage of his good mood, he praised Liang Tingdong a few words.

The great victory of Zunhua came too timely, and the Ming court urgently needed a victory to inspire people. Under the hint of the emperor and the promotion of the Ministry of War, the streets and alleys in the capital city were all about the great victory of Zunhua.

In order to be more convincing, Liang Tingdong actually placed more than 1000 slave heads in front of the lobby of the Ministry of War to show the public. Shengdou Xiaomin shouted happily.

The imperial palace newspaper also described this unprecedented victory in full detail, and also clearly pointed out that the key to this victory was the Holy Son of Heaven's insight into talents, and it was really a great, honorable and correct decision to promote Liu Zhilun in an extraordinary way.

Next, the Ming Dynasty started to turn around. After the Jin army besieged Funing County for a few days, it unexpectedly returned. The reinforcement battalion that persisted in Funing was the unit of Huang Han who had just made the first victory in the attack on Zunhua. This shows that this team It is one of the few strong troops in Ming Dynasty!

Ever since, Huang Weizheng, the general who sticks to Funing and made meritorious service in history, has not been ignored like in history. His reinforcement battalion was directly upgraded to a strange battalion. He was finally promoted to a higher level, from a second-rank general to a second-rank deputy That is, the deputy commander-in-chief understood by modern people.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty is very strange, and there is basically no affiliation between generals.

The senior generals of the battalion on the Nine Sides include the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, generals, and soldiers and horses directly under the guerrilla camp, that is, regular soldiers, surprise soldiers, reinforcements, and rangers. Other battalions other than the regular army battalion directly under their own jurisdiction.

Moreover, the number of troops in the First Battalion of the Ming Dynasty is not determined by the rank of the chief general. Most of the full number of troops in the main barracks, the odd barracks, the reinforcement barracks, and the ranger barracks are around [-] to [-].

It is not at all understood by modern people that an army must not be less than two divisions, and no matter what, a division must have more than three regiments...

When slaves were established and entered the imperial capital, there were probably not less than a few dozen general officers, lieutenants, generals, and guerrillas who arrived, but the command and dispatch were all carried out by civilian officials, which can be seen from this.

Such an approach may be due to the imperial court's extreme wariness against warriors. To prevent the passing of time, the commander in chief can only nominally control the lieutenants, generals, guerrillas, and other low-level generals.
