The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 63 "Red Banner Army"

Chapter 63 "Red Banner Army"

In the future, Huang Han's troops must improve the mobility of the troops as much as possible. Even the infantry must be able to march quickly on horseback.

The infantry is not required to fight on horseback, as long as they can get to the battlefield in time to fight on foot.

The newly recruited one hundred warriors who can ride well will follow the team as apprentice cavalry. They are also protected by steel and are definitely well-equipped.

Now Huang Han has 22 family cavalry who participated in the Battle of Zunhua, 250 cavalry who broke out from the siege of Yongping Fucheng and were taken in by Huangyi Prefecture, and [-] frontier cavalry who Zheng Guochang helped take in. Counting the number of troops, there are a total of [-] nine servants and iron cavalry from the sixth rank and above.

The four armed servants of Zheng Guochang were all members of the Zheng clan. They volunteered to participate in military operations to help the second son get promoted. These four were not inferior to ordinary cavalry in combat skills, and Huang Han agreed to their request.

After resting for a few days, the men and horses who set out again were full of fighting spirit. Huang Han took the armored knight wrapped in steel to look for fighters to attack the Jin army.

These 260 three family knights are fierce men armed to the teeth, and everyone chooses a pair of horses and horses, and their strength is enough to beat a Niu Lujian slave.

The official ranks of Huang Han and Hanzi are already higher than that of the seventh-rank general banner officers. According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, they belong to military officers rather than the number of troops.The fighting strength of the two of them should be comparable to that of four ordinary servants and iron cavalry.

There are two other men who are not armored cavalry, they were strictly told not to participate in the cavalry charge, they are Li Mulin's apprentices Guo Xiao and Liu Dashou, they are also Huang Han's first batch of medical soldiers, they will be trained as medical officers in the future More medics exist.

In order to distinguish them from other Ming armies, Huang Han's subordinates all tied a red ribbon on their left arms, and the flags they unfurled did not have any logos, just a ball of fiery red rectangular silk cloth.

Huang Han led cavalrymen wrapped in iron armor and fiery red war jackets to wander around Yongping Mansion. After the attack, the Jin army trained the team, and the effect was so good that the actual combat training was as effective as half the effort.

After going out to rob and earn money, the Jin army suffered a big loss. The robbery gang with a dozen or even 50 people could no longer guarantee safety, and several groups of people were eaten by Huang Han.

Due to the excellent equipment and the sneak attack, and the gang fight mode in which many people bully the few, Huang Han's troops did not suffer any losses, only a dozen or so disabled and seven soldiers were killed in battle.

The morale of the team with small losses and big gains is high. After seeing it, the Jin army is like a tiger attacking a pack of wolves.

In Yongping Prefecture, several villages that were being looted by the Hou Jin army were rescued by the Huang Han tribe who arrived in time. These Ming army waving red flags and flying red ribbons on their arms rescued the suffering and rescued the people. The common people talked with Yan Yuese, and soon became famous.

The common people didn't know the number and battalion of this Ming army, they only saw the red flag fluttering, so they named this army.

Since then, Huang Han's army has become what the common people call the "Red Banner Soldiers" or "Red Banner Army", somewhat similar to the "Red Scarf Army" of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

The name sounded catchy, and Huang Han, who was struggling to find a name for his team, saw that the elders in his hometown had named this team they loved, so he followed suit and named his team "Red Banner Army".

For the sake of publicity, he racked his brains to write a bold and unrestrained poem, "The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the geese flying in the south can be seen. If you don't destroy the Tartars, you are not a hero, and it is useless to fight the enemy bravely. I would like to be the vanguard of the bandits. The red flag is flying in the west wind. With the iron cavalry in hand today, when will we go straight to the Yellow Dragon?"

Unexpectedly, the Qingpingle Red Flag, which is close to the vernacular, was sought after by all the cavalry warriors, and finally developed into everyone who can recite it and many people can write it silently. .Today, with the iron cavalry in hand, someday we will go straight to the Yellow Dragon."

The people of Shengdou were plundered wantonly by barbarians. Seeing their relatives being killed, sisters being insulted, and houses being burned, the anger of hatred made many Han's blood boil. Every time the "Red Banner Army" saved a village, many young and middle-aged men came to ask Follow Huang Han to join the army to fight the Tartars.

Huang Han still recruited servants based on the principle of giving priority to specialties. Of course, the most popular specialty was riding and archery, and then he recruited martial artists, and finally recruited those who could ride horses and were physically strong.

The "Red Banner Army" has just started at this time, and there is still a long way to go in the future. Huang Han will not fish in the dry marshes, but release water to raise fish. Food and wages and An Jiayin.

The men who follow the "Red Banner Army" will not only get the full amount of food and salary, but also get the head reward, and also get the opportunity to become an official lord. Their families will benefit a lot. Driven by their role models, When Huang Han wants to expand his army, the children from his hometown will flock to him.

Although there will be a vote with the Jin army every now and then, and it is inevitable that the servants will lose their number due to casualties, but there are young people from the Yongping Mansion who are enthusiastic about joining the army to make up for it in time. Huang Han's troops are fighting more and more, and the quality has not dropped too much. .

Since the Hou Jin army had been looting in the pass for more than three months, even ordinary Tartar soldiers had private property of no less than 100 taels of silver to carry with them.

The Houjin army no longer had the ruthlessness that they were not afraid of wearing shoes when they first entered the customs, and they had already begun to worry about gains and losses.

At this time, Huang Han specializes in cheating and cheating, of course he made a lot of money. Now, after eliminating one golden army on average, he will get gold and silver fines and silver. In terms of silver, it will not be less than 120 taels. At least he will get a horse, a set of armor and a compound bow , such as cloth, silk and other goods.

After the attack, the Jin army was as dangerous as the tiger's mouth. Huang Han not only did it, but also robbed precious metals worth more than 8000 taels of silver, and the other goods he got were no less than [-] taels of silver.

The main reason is that the land of Gyeonggi has been peaceful for more than 150 years, and there are countless wealthy families. The wealth accumulated by generations of Han people was looted by the bandits of the Later Jin Army who entered the pass.

Historically, the rapid development of Houjin was due to this attack on the capital of Ming Dynasty. In the end, civilization was destroyed by barbarism because Tunguska was inhumane, lifeless and wild.

Huang Han just caused some troubles for the Hou Jin army, snatching a few pieces of meat from the robbers' mouths, and had little impact on the course of history.

The number of armored servants soon reached 360. Although only half of them are able to ride and fight, all of them are growing every day and have a lot of stamina. Now the fighting power of the "Red Banner Army" can also match that of a Jiannu Niu Lu will not panic when encountered.

Running around Yongping Mansion every day and moving to battle, the riding skills and combat skills of the servants will of course make great progress. Every now and then, they will chop off the heads of the Jin army, drag the headless corpse of the Jiannu, and recruits who have not had the opportunity to kill the enemy face to face. Also began to have thick nerves.
