The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 75

It seems that Fang and Li, who were inspired by Huang Han's words and decided to stay and kill the enemy, actually have heroism in their hearts. They just want to fight for military exploits and get a chance to prove themselves.

Now that they decided to fight the enemy together with the "Red Banner Army", Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian immediately put aside their airs and took the initiative to fight with the soldiers.

Fang Zhenghua also yelled out a shrill voice, a poem written by He Zhu, a poet of the Song Dynasty, who wrote Liuzhou Songtou Youth Chivalry.

"...The liver and gallbladder are full, and the hair is standing up. In the middle of a conversation, life and death are the same. A promise is worth a lot....Do not invite long tassels, but take the Tianjiao species, and the sword roars to the west wind..."

This word is suitable for the occasion and the atmosphere of the bonfire dinner was pushed to a climax. Huang Han, Zheng Xiaowen, and Li Ruolian all sang in unison, and all the men sang together to get drunk.

Early the next morning, Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian arranged for others to go back.

Four of the lieutenants of the Jinyiwei General Banner refused to leave. They were also strong men, and they voluntarily stayed behind to follow the general banner officer to participate in the guerrilla warfare. Huang Han deliberately wrote down their names.

The rest of the school lieutenants and a few young eunuchs left happily.Why do these people's faces change so quickly?

Of course there is a reason for this, because Huang Han divided more than [-] heads into a small half and asked them to take them back to the capital to repay their merits. It is clear that these gains are the result of the Jin army after Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian led the emperor's pro-army to participate in the attack. .

Such a great effort brought the little eunuch and dozens of royal guards to share the benefits. Such a great favor almost made them bow down.

The school lieutenants and the little eunuchs are not stupid, so they will naturally add more details and truthfully report to Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen the ins and outs of why Fang Zhenghua, Li Ruolian and the four robes stayed in the Huang Han army.

They still have expectations in their hearts, and it is not known whether the remaining brothers will be able to win again. With the real combat experience, even if only a few people participate, they will be able to take the credit for the profit.

Huang Han didn't spend time in Jiulitai Village, he mobilized on the same day, and the soldiers were all ready to go again.

“红旗军”上上下下都已经适应了游击战，纷纷爱上了出其不意冲杀出去，一顿暴揍把那些劫掠老百姓的后金军打得尸横遍地，最后笑嘻嘻割下他们的脑袋瓜，把Their naked torsos were abandoned in the wilderness to feed wolves.

After uninterrupted actual combat training, the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" spend an average of half of their time on horseback every day, and the soldiers who are not good at riding are making rapid progress.

Huang Han treats his subordinates well, and it is necessary to eat three meals a day. They must get meat every day, and at the worst, they can also eat horse meat.Huang Han was not stingy, he was willing to reward his subordinates with military merits.

Now most of the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" received a reward of no less than ten taels of silver, and each of the 60 servants who participated in the Zunhua Great Victory had no less than [-] taels of silver stuffed into their pockets.

The soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" refused to carry the cash with them, because they killed many post-gold soldiers, and they could find a lot of gold and silver from the arms of these robbers every time.

Damn, you have to pay it back when you come out to hang out.Money is the hard-working money that is going to be left to parents, wives and children. You can't lose money even after you die!
In order to take care of the emotions of the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" so that they have no worries, Huang Han announced that all soldiers can deposit silver in the army when teaching everyone literacy, and wrote a will to specify who is the heir to the silver.

In the past, it was Song Pengfei who helped manage the soldiers' deposits. Every time they returned to Jiulitai, they would send the soldiers' deposits to the refuge and hand them over to Huang Yong for safekeeping. There is also an official seal on the note, which reassures the soldiers even more.

Every soldier in the "Red Banner Army" must make a will, and Huang Han, Hanzi, and Song Pengfei are no exception. The newcomer Zheng Xiaowen also made up his will.

Everyone knows that on the battlefield, there are no eyesight, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to come back alive. They all write their wills seriously. Huang Han.

The relationship between Huang Han and the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" has become more complicated. On the one hand, these people are servants and should belong to the relationship of master and servant. These people are still soldiers under Huang Han's command, and there is another layer of relationship. Great, master-student relationship.

This era pays attention to being a teacher for one day and a father for life, and the relationship between master and apprentice has been elevated to the height of father-son relationship. Of course, Huang Han won the love and loyalty of the "Red Banner Army".

Huang Han worked tirelessly and spent a full hour every day teaching all the soldiers to read and write and do arithmetic.

Due to the need to deploy guard posts and ambush troops, each class has to be held for two nights, so as to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn.

Huang Han clearly told all the family soldiers that in the future, the promotion of soldiers will not only be based on military merits, but cultural achievements will be the first. If you can't read and write, you will end up as a small banner officer.

They are all adults, and everyone understands the importance of being able to write and count. In the past, they suffered from poverty at home and could not afford to read. Now, not only do they have free education from masters, but they are also praised and given material rewards if they learn well.

The soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" listened carefully to the lectures and worked hard to complete their homework. After several months of persistence, the results were good. Those with good grades, such as Song Pengfei, had already mastered two or three hundred commonly used characters, and everyone could understand the wills written in a stuttering manner.

Not everyone in the "Red Banner Army" is illiterate. There are more than a dozen people including Zhao Kun, Liu Sihai, and Huang Feng who have studied in private schools for two or three years. They are now Huang Han's good helpers in teaching everyone culture.

Huang Han didn't talk about it, and deliberately cultivated an atmosphere of independent thinking under his command. Since he decided to attack the Hou Jin Army, he had to make a plan. The time, place, and deployment of troops, and the expected goals were all discussed in the pre-war meeting.

At the military meeting held in the afternoon above the small banner officers and above, Huang Han put forward the expected goals and asked everyone to brainstorm and express their opinions.Attending the meeting were Zheng Xiaowen, Fang Zhenghua, and Li Ruolian.

Fang and Li were surprised to see that Huang Han discussed gains and losses with his subordinates at the meeting, and even made a retreat plan, which was not at all the decisiveness of other Ming army generals when they were about to go to battle.

They began to break out in a cold sweat, and thought to themselves: "Is it too childish to allow the big soldiers to decide whether to retreat by themselves? It's called a retreat, but it's actually turning around and running away! What should we do if the 'Red Banner Army' runs away when going into battle?" ?”

Of course, Huang Han didn't know Fang and Li's careful thinking. He set up an ambush plan with his subordinates and started to act the next morning.

All the knights of the "Red Banner Army" were dispatched, and Fang Zhenghua, who was wearing his armor, and Li Ruolian and the other five Jinyi guards went together of course.
