"Your Excellency."
A somewhat sturdy man stood quietly in front of Jiang Chuhan, the man's beard was sriddled, and even his eyes were deeply sunken, and it could be seen that recently, this man's life was not very satisfactory.It's only been half a year, and the temperament of his whole body has also undergone a shocking change, compared to the ruthlessness and determination in the past, he seems to have become more restrained and stable than before.Jiang Chuhan glanced at him with satisfaction, then nodded, slowly sighed, and said, "Your beard, it's time to shave." ”"The body is skinny, and the parents who receive it, Huang Degong dare not damage it."
Huang Degong suddenly bent down and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for saving your life and cultivating your kindness, Huang Degong will definitely live up to expectations." ”"Hmm."
Jiang Chuhan nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Since you have been appointed to the official and led the army, don't forget that your family and country should know that this official is saving your life for you, do you understand?"
”"Xia Guan understands!"
Huang Degong's eyes seemed to be full of tears, he wanted to kill himself at the beginning, but it was Jiang Chuhan who saved him.At the beginning, he followed Hong Chengchou to rebel, and Jiang Chuhan forgave him for his sins, and this time, Jiang Chuhan once again risked his net worth and life as a guarantee, and recommended Huang Degong in front of the emperor to lead the newly established "Tiger Guard", which will inevitably become a "Tiger Guard" of a hundred battles in the future.What's more, at the moment when Huang Degong was defined as "rebellion", Huang Degong had great reason to believe that if it weren't for Jiang Chuhan, if he had changed any official, he would definitely use his own head to invite meritorious deeds, instead of being thoughtful for himself like Jiang Chuhan, so although Huang Degong had tears in his eyes, he was unwilling to flick it down.A man, born as a hero, died as a ghost male, if he shed tears, he is still a good man with a fart?"
Let's go."
Jiang Chuhan smiled and said, "Let's take a look at what your recruits look like?"
”After leaving the quiet mansion that Jiang Chuhan had prepared for Huang Degong alone, Jiang Chuhan and Huang Degong immediately rode on their horses, and Qiu Feng and Sunshine followed not far behind, all the way towards the Beijing army camp.The camp of the Beijing army located in Shuncheng is not outside the city, but the military camp is set up in the palace, in order to facilitate the control, the head of the Beijing army only exercises the Beijing army in the palace, and the imperial city guard outside the city has nothing to do with it.After coming to the Beijing army camp, I saw that in the distance, several Beijing army leaders had already waited outside the door, and when they saw Jiang Chuhan and Huang Degong both riding side by side, those leaders immediately walked up affectionately, and politely hugged Jiang Chuhan and said: "The lower official meets Master Jiang, dare to ask if this is the newly appointed Yunlu General Huang Degong Huang?"
”"Exactly."
Jiang Chuhan smiled slightly, and introduced to everyone, these Beijing army leaders, one is named Xu Liang, and the other two are called Cao Yan and Wu Zhi, all of whom belong to hereditary military households, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing army was known as 300,000, and today, the number of Beijing troops has swelled to 700,000, and there are more than 100 people just the head of the sect, so it is really not a rare thing for the head of the sect to be in the Beijing army.In fact, the head of the sect is just the rank of a military cao, in a place like Shun, where officials are everywhere, a military cao is really as big as a grain of sesame rice, so after Xu Liang and the others saw Jiang Chuhan, they were still respectful, this is the truth.After Jiang Chuhan, Huang Degong and others finished their introductions, the five of them walked into the Beijing army camp, only to see that at this moment, the Beijing army camp was a lively scene, and the Beijing army was conducting a drill at this moment, either lining up the troops and walking in formation, or practicing with swords and guns, and the momentum was like a dragon.Jiang Chuhan was immediately attracted by the lively scene in front of him as soon as he first saw it, and couldn't help but nod sincerely, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the Beijing army, the scene is so spectacular, even if it is compared to the wolf cavalry of the Tatars, it should not be a few points worse, right?"
”Over there, Xu Liang, Cao Yan, Wu Zhi and the other three couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts, they really deserved to be their own soldiers, and the scene was so spectacular.Alas, look, I'm tired of watching, cough cough."
Lord Jiang, I don't know what Lord Jiang thinks of this Imperial City Jing Army?"
Xu Liang and Cao Yan and the others secretly glanced at themselves, then surrounded them in unison, nodded and asked."
Uh-huh, that's good."
Jiang Chuhan smiled, nodded, then turned to look at Huang Degong, and said, "Hushan Huang Degong is the word Hushan, I don't know what you think?"
”"This" Huang Degong suddenly seemed a little choked, and after thinking deeply for a long time, he bowed deeply to Jiang Chuhan and said: "Lord Jiang, please forgive Huang Degong for being presumptuous, according to the lower officials, there is not a single qualified soldier among these soldiers!"
”"What!"
Huang Degong's words undoubtedly slapped Xu Liang and others in the face, but he was just a leader, the other party was General Yunlu appointed by the emperor, although he knew that he couldn't provoke Huang Degong, Xu Liang and the others' faces still looked unnatural.Jiang Chuhan glanced at Xu Liang and the others deeply, smiled, and said lightly at Huang Degong: "If Hushan has something to say, it doesn't matter." ”"Yes."
After making another salute to Jiang Chuhan, Huang Degong thought for a while and said, "Lord Jiang, in my opinion, if these Beijing troops are compared to the wolf cavalry of the Tatars, ah no, even if they are ordinary infantry, I am afraid they will not be able to compare."
To tell the truth, when Xia Guan led the troops under the command of Lord Jiangnan Hong, the combat strength of the soldiers was more than several times better than that of these Beijing troops in front of him. ”"And, if you charge head-on with the army of the Tatar state, there will be a hard-fought war."
Huang Degong raised his eyes, and after a long time, his face was expressionless, and he said categorically: "If it is a head-on confrontation, I am afraid that it will not be long before these soldiers will be beaten by the soldiers of the Tatar State and will be defeated!"
”"General Huang."
Cao Yan finally couldn't help but say: "The number of the Beijing army in my Imperial City alone is no less than 20,000, can't you pick out a soldier with the eyes of General Huang among the 20,000?"
”"Your Majesty's formation of a new army means that a banner will be opened separately from the banner of the Beijing Army, called the Tiger Guard" Jiang Chuhan thought for a while and asked: "I don't know how many people this Tiger Guard can expand?"
”"Huijiang-sama's words."
This time it was Wu Zhi who spoke, and I saw Wu Zhi say respectfully: "It's about two thousand people." ”"So little?!"
Jiang Chuhan suddenly gasped.According to his conscience, Jiang Chuhan was indeed very disappointed, the new army he won in front of Emperor Chongzhen was only 2,000 people, if it was on the battlefield in a few days, I am afraid that these 2,000 people would immediately be drowned in this surging sea of people, which is really nothing."
Master Jiang misunderstood."
Wu Zhi smiled and explained in a low voice to Jiang Chuhan: "Although it is only a two-thousand-person establishment, it is all equipped with heavily armed cavalry, and my Ming Dynasty lacks horses, these two thousand cavalry, according to my Ming Dynasty system, each person has two horses, it must be equipped with at least four thousand horses, plus all heavy equipment, weapons and equipment are all excellent, so the establishment of two thousand people is already a rare scene in my Ming Dynasty." ”"I see."
Jiang Chuhan sighed, but also had to admit that under the mere 2,000 cavalry, the amount of money and food needed to be spent was also amazingly high."
Hushan, there are more than 20,000 soldiers in the imperial city, so it's better to select some strong soldiers from them first, what do you think?"
Jiang Chuhan said slightly to Huang Degong."
Yes, the subordinate obeys."
After Huang Degong gave a military salute to Jiang Chuhan, under the leadership of Xu Liang and Cao Yan, he began a strict selection work, and Jiang Chuhan naturally would not participate in such a boring job as selecting soldiers, so Wu Zhi volunteered to stay, and prepared a table and a rocking chair for Jiang Chuhan alone in the Beijing army playground, and then began to talk nonsense with Jiang Chuhan.I don't know how long later, Huang Degong returned to Jiang Chuhan's side again under the leadership of Xu Liang and Cao Yan, and this time the difference is that behind Huang Degong, teams of soldiers lined up neatly also came to Jiang Chuhan's face, Huang Degong came to Jiang Chuhan's face, and said expressionlessly: "Lord Jiang, the lower official is back." ”"Uh-huh, how's that?
How many people were picked?
”Jiang Chuhan asked with a smile, his eyes looking at the group of soldiers in front of him."
Huijiang-sama's words."
Huang Degong sighed deeply, as if with a look of regret, and said, "Five hundred." ”"Poof!!"
Jiang Chuhan was almost about to vomit blood, looked at Huang Degong in disbelief, and said suspiciously: "Only five hundred people were selected out of 20,000 people?"
”Xu Liang and Cao Yan behind them also have earthy gray faces, if they spread it in the future, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth?
Wouldn't it be laughed at by people, and the dignified Ming Imperial City Beijing Army turned out to be a withered talent, which was useless?
