Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 167 Angel Official Zheng Chongjian
Lin Yi's team arrived at the foot of the Great Wall at Xifengkou Pass City. The deputy general Zu Keyong and the second general Wang Jian had been lining up with their troops for a long time.

Seeing Ji Dong's horse's head, the second general hurriedly rode over to greet him. When he got close, he got off his horse and greeted Lin Yi.Now Zu Keyong's injury has long since healed.

Lin Yi cupped his fists at the two of them as a return of the salute, and then they greeted each other with a smile, Lin Yi walked in front, and they followed behind, hugging each other.

The soldiers guarding the gate here all looked enviously at Lin Yi and the others. Lin Yi had won a big victory, and some tribes in Mongolia sent gifts to Lin Yi one after another, and took the initiative to make friends with Daming. Now these soldiers guarding the gate city General also heard.

Several soldiers were still discussing in low voices.

"Master Lin's trip to Mongolia in the past two months has been amazing. After such a big victory, the team of 800 warriors seems to have not decreased. When you left, there were so many people, and there are still so many people now?"

"It's not the same. Didn't you see that there are many more Mongolian girls and hundreds of Mongolian horses. It is said that these are the chiefs of the Mongolian tribes to honor Lord Lin, not for the Ming court."

"How else should I put it? The horses are full of good things. Look at the twenty or so cars behind, the wheels are rolling, and the animals are pulling them. It looks like a heavy load. Don't ask, there must be something inside. Gold and silver treasures, those Mongolian royal officials are rich, some give them silver, and some give them gold, this time Lord Lin is going to make a fortune."

"What about making a fortune? Master Lin took 20000 taels of silver and a few gold bars before leaving. These are all his own savings, as well as Miss Zhezhe's. I heard that in order to win over these tribes, they fought against the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty formed an alliance, and all these silver and gold bars were set up. Your Excellency spends money like water, and never cares about personal gains and losses. However, your Excellency has gained both fame and fortune after this battle, and the credit is too great. When the Chief Soldier came back, his face was full of joy. After the imperial court finds out, they will have to add officials and ranks for the adults.”

"That's absolute. It's a pity that we didn't catch up in this battle. Otherwise, maybe we will make contributions and be rewarded."

"My lord is back, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. As long as we follow your lord and work hard, your lord will never treat us badly. Let's go, stop talking."...

The welcoming team and Ji Dong's [-] generals returned to Guancheng with large carts and small vehicles.

When they arrived in Guancheng, everyone hurriedly started unloading the carts, and the things on the horseback and the carts were unloaded and registered by a special person.Wang Jian explained to them whether it was war horses or gold and silver, food, guns and ammunition, and so on.Public is public and private is private, public and private are distinct, and are registered and stored separately.

Apart from other things, Lin Yi now has 5000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold plus a few gold bars, some pearls and agates, jade jewelry, silk and satin in his small private vault. , not at all angry with the public.

On the same day, Lin Yi announced the establishment of the women's battalion. Counting the two officers of the two teams, Xiaoying and Zhezhe, there were 66 people in total, and the camp area of ​​the women's battalion was divided, and male soldiers were not allowed to enter without authorization.Xiaoying and Zhezhe are the leaders of their female battalion, announcing the discipline of the barracks, just like the male soldiers. These are on the way, Xiaoying and Zhezhe have already instilled these 50 Jarut beauties through four maidservants. Now Re-emphasized and made effective.

Then Ji Dong announced that Xiaoying and Zhezhe would start training them the next day.The specific division of labor is that Zhezhe and the four Wengniute maidservants are responsible for training them in horseback riding and bow and arrow, Xiaoying is in charge of training their physical fitness and knife skills, and Lin Yi is their chief instructor and consultant.

Ji Dong wants to build them into a special army. They are usually singers and dancers, and they are used to win by surprise at critical moments.

Zhang Hua was drooling as he watched from the sidelines, no wonder Zhang Hua was unpromising. These Mongolian girls took off their unique ethnic costumes and changed into daimyo military uniforms, which is unique.Zhang Hua was a good woman at first, but now it seems endless. She feels that everything she looks at is fresh and attractive, and she finds her beauty delicious. In the end, she catches people's sensitive parts and stops looking at them.

With so many beauties, Zhang Hua looked into Zhang Hua's eyes as if he wanted him to go to the women's camp. He would be happy not to let him be a general flag or a small flag, but to let her be a recruit.

Erhu saw what he was thinking, and said in his heart, this kid's woman has committed another crime. If he hadn't followed our adults, he would have done so many bad things. You see, his eyes are almost rolling out now, why not tease him .

Thinking of this, Erhu said: "Do you want to go there, kid? I have a solution."

"What way?" Zhang Hua immediately widened his eyes and said.

"That is to cut off the thing in your crotch and become a eunuch." Er Hu whispered in his ear.

"Why the hell don't you be an eunuch?" Zhang Hua scolded when he knew that Erhu was playing tricks on him again.

Erhu smiled and spat disdainfully, "Pull it down if you don't want to, you asked me, why are you staring at me, really, let's make sense of it!"

……

After Ji Dong finished announcing, he returned to his barracks.The matter of these female soldiers was handed over to Xiaoying and Zhezhe.

Now Xiaoying has sorted out the way Ji Yi trained herself in the past, and firmly remembered it in her heart.

These two maidservants under him have been serving them very well these days. She now recognizes these Mongolian women. She finds that these women are not only beautiful, but also gentle and considerate. It can be done very well, so you don't have to worry about it in the future, and you can follow the steps step by step, which is very worry-free.

That night, Xiaoying and Zhezhe stood in front of the female soldiers and talked a few words, and then asked four maids to take them back to the barracks.

From the second day on, Ji Dong began to train soldiers.

In this war-torn era, there are constant wars, and if there are wars, there will be casualties. The reduction of casualties requires the addition of new troops.Of course, they have to improve their combat power through training to keep the distance between them close.

And now there are no more than 2000 troops in Guancheng, because the imperial court allocated 1 soldiers, and Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief, took them to a part of Miyun, and Guancheng gave them another 3000 people.

Among them, 2000 people are Lin Yi's original generals, related to Ning Tieqi, there is a Tianxiong army, including Lin Yi's personal guards.These 2000 soldiers will have the strongest combat effectiveness and the best army discipline.But the 3000 soldiers from the new division were uneven. Lin Yi separated them while training the whole army, and focused on training these 3000 soldiers.In addition, we have to take care of the women's battalion. These 50 beautiful girls are also recruits and must be trained strictly.

All of Lin Yi's guard battalion became instructors, training all 5000 male soldiers, and Lin Yi asked them, whether they were officers or soldiers, including the instructors, to devote themselves to training without exception, including himself.

The instructors must complete the subjects required for military training.It is not allowed to have the phenomenon that the instructors only demonstrate actions and only let the soldiers train, so as to prevent the formation of lazy old soldiers.

Ji Dong gets up early every day to train his own events, some special forces boxing and various physical training before crossing, and then single-handed, cross-horse round broadsword, white dragon horse, Qinglong Yanyue knife, dancing, no less than Guan Yu alive Lu Bu was reborn, and then practiced Archery, including subordinate archery and horse archery, these items, Lin Yi gets up early every day to practice according to the standard, it takes about an hour, that is, about two hours.

After training these, after breakfast, he started to go to the training ground to guide and supervise the training of other soldiers, from recruits to veterans, from men's battalion to women's battalion.

And for the different levels of these soldiers, Lin Yi formulated a set of training plans. The recruits (this refers to the newly transferred 3000 soldiers, not the new recruits) including the women's battalion focus on military discipline, physical fitness, single Training in combat, etc.

For those 2000 veterans who have been in battle for a long time, it is mainly to improve their cooperative combat capabilities, such as using firearms, bows and arrows, charging, and retreating, which can be summarized as various common formations such as attacking, fighting and defending.

Now Lin Yi is very good at directing military training. The experience and insight he brought from the special forces, combined with the skills that Lu Xiangsheng gave him, and from the few books that Lu Xiangsheng gave him, he absorbed a lot of useful things. Processing and transformation, removing the dross and extracting the essence, discarding the false and keeping the true, formed a set of its own system, which is closer to actual combat.

Lin Yi spent more time in the new barracks and the women's camp, so no one dared to be sloppy.Although these recruits were generals drawn from various places, they are now intimidated by Ji Dong's reputation.

When Lin Yi first arrived at the women's camp, these Mongolian beauties were giggling and winking, but two days later, when Lin Yi appeared in front of them again, he was completely different.Including the four Wengniud's maidservants, they all became docile lambs, wilting like eggplants beaten by frost.

Lin Yi is satisfied that Xiaoying has adapted to the role of instructor so quickly, and what he taught her in the past two years is now a teacher.

But seeing these female soldiers looking so nonchalant, Lin Yi was dissatisfied, just like when Xiaoying was a soldier.

Ji Dong asked the female soldiers to speak to them together, telling them that this was just the beginning.They have not been in contact with the devil's training. He wants to train them into such an army. Under any circumstances, they cannot become docile lambs, they must become fierce tigers, and hungry wolves. Only in this way can they protect themselves and kill enemy.

In this way, a month passed, and all the recruits of the women's battalion passed the non-applicable period.It's just that the newly transferred 3000 soldiers are still uneven.

Ji Dong knew that the reason why the women's battalion made rapid progress was because they were strictly demanded from the beginning, just like a blank piece of paper, whatever was drawn on it was what it was.Moreover, the women's camp is small, and it is easy to manage with only a few dozen people.

The 3000 newly transferred generals are different, because most of them have become veterans, and it is difficult to change and improve them. The elite troops of the Tianxiong Army are incomparable, and it is impossible for them to catch up with a complete change in a short period of time, only slowly.

On this day, Wang Jian came to report to Lin Yi, saying that many of these new generals were tired of training. If this continues, there may be deserters and even mutiny, and a countermeasure must be taken.

As he said that, he gave Lin Yi the list of those who were tired of training compiled by Zhang Hua Erhu and other instructors.

Lin Yi didn't even look at it, and walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, "Pass my order, starting from this month, each person will be paid 20% more food and salary every month, and the food expenses will be increased by 1000 taels a month for I will pay for the money to improve the meals of the soldiers."

Wang Jian knew what kind of trick Lin Yi was using, because now that the army is in chaos, most of these soldiers will be fed as soldiers, and they will be given additional food and salaries so that they can eat well, and if they are a little bit tired, they will tie their hearts.

But Wang Jian shook his head and said: "Your Excellency is righteous, but this amount is not small, because now we have more soldiers. According to what Your Excellency said, at least 2000 taels of silver will be needed every month, and your savings may not be enough to support it." months."

Lin Yi said: "If you can last for a few months, count it as a few months. If Lin doesn't expect it, the imperial court's reward should come down soon, and then you can last for a while. In less than a year, these soldiers will drive you away." They, they're not going away."

Sure enough, after the increase in food and pay, the anger and resentment of these new 3000 soldiers gradually disappeared.Another month has passed, not to mention the mutiny of the soldiers, not even a single deserter has appeared, and the military discipline and overall level of the 3000 new soldiers have greatly improved.

Ji Dong was very satisfied and felt that the thousands of taels of silver were well spent.

Just then, the angel officer arrived.This man's name is Zheng Chongjian, the official worshiped the Minister of the Ministry of War, and took the imperial decree, driving a large cart and a small cart, with royal wine and meat and reward silver.The Commander-in-Chief Liu Zhaoji accompanied him, and Lin Yi was overjoyed, and hurried down to the city to greet him.

First, I greeted the angel officer. Zheng Chongjian is now the Minister of the Ministry of War, much older than the officials of Liu Zhaoji and Lin Yi.

Lin Yi also knew about Zheng Chongjian, who was also a figure with great ups and downs in the late Ming Dynasty.He once won the trust of Chongzhen. He successively served as an official in Henan, participated in politics in Shaanxi, Youjian and the censor of the capital. Later, Yang Sichang committed suicide in fear of crime. Someone impeached him for improper use of troops, and was killed by Emperor Chongzhen, and his body was thrown in the city.

Now Zheng Chongjian is in the successful period of his life and is on the rise. The key is that he has an imperial decree in his arms, which comes on behalf of the emperor.

Liu Zhaoji and Lin Yi hurriedly arranged the incense table and knelt down to receive the order, which was an order for them two.

Zheng Chongjian read the decree aloud, and Lin Yi didn't expect it after hearing it. Only then did he know that the court and China had changed...
