Chapter 287 Heavy cavalry, light cavalry?

On May 25th, in the afternoon, in the main hall of the general office.

Jin Xinpeng, Yan Qingrong, Wei Zhice, He Biao, Liu Zhi, Cao Jinwang, Chen Zheng, Zhang Guangda, Wu Zhizhong, Chen Zhong, Chen Dakuan, Cui Shijie, Jin Yong and other officials will sit in the chairs on both sides.

Basically, Jin Xinpeng, Wei Zhice and others sat on the left, and the generals of Chen Zheng and Zhang Guangda sat on the right. Did Chen Zhong stand behind Zhang Cheng and refused to take his seat, or Zhang Cheng asked him: "Why, do you still want to sit on the right?" Can't I be with you?"

He walked to the left side in desperation and took a seat. Jin Yong, the general manager of Dushikou, was originally Jin Xinpeng's nephew. The day after Jin Xinpeng decided to join Zhang Cheng, he personally led Jin Yong to meet Zhang Cheng.

At that time, Zhang Cheng only ordered Jin Yong to still lead the three hundred family members and not make changes for the time being, but after the military inspection in the school field today, Zhang Cheng sent an order to go down.

From now on, under my own rule, soldiers will be paid and rewarded for their meritorious deeds. The generals of each battalion and department will never be allowed to deduct military pay and fodder for private support of family members.

The news of this order really caused a commotion, how can there be any pay in the various guards of the Ming Dynasty?
Ordinary garrison troops had to farm in their spare time and go out with the army in wartime. Not only did they have no pay, some even had to prepare their own military uniforms and ordnance.

However, those limited salaries were used by military leaders from all over the country to privately support their servants. This was the biggest problem in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. The most elite soldiers were not owned by the state, but by the generals.

If the battle goes well, these servants will fight desperately to claim credit for the head of the enemy for their leader. If there is a slight disadvantage, they will take the leader and flee quickly, which will often trigger a chain reaction and lead to the collapse of the army.

Zhang Cheng hated this very much, and he was extremely opposed to his generals raising servants in his will, but this did not mean that he would not involve himself in raising private soldiers.

Zhang Cheng's goal is that all the generals and soldiers under his command belong to him alone!
Regarding Zhang Cheng's military order, everyone has their own ideas. Those military households are welcome, and they are naturally happy if they can get food and pay.

But the servants don't think so, they usually get twice the pay, but now they only get one share, which may not be the full pay, so how can they be happy.

In this regard, Zhang Cheng also said in private that if the servants of the generals are willing to stay, they must obey his military orders. If they do not want to stay, he will not force them. The army that feeds them will go.

Then there are officials and generals like Jin Xinpeng and Yan Qingrong, who usually rely on hiding military households and embezzling food and salaries to support their servants. If they can no longer do this, they will not be able to support many servants.

For them, how to gain a foothold in the Department of Defense in the future is indeed a new topic. It is estimated that they can only work under Zhang Cheng's command in the future.

It's just that everyone is watching. After all, a certain general guard said the same thing before, but the effect is...

…………

Today, after the military inspection at the school grounds, Zhang Cheng told Jin Xinpeng that he would discuss matters at the generals' office in the afternoon, and told him to call Jin Yong to attend, which meant accepting Jin Yong to join the core.

Of course, another meaning is that in the future, Jin Yong can directly participate in the military council without Jin Xinpeng being the setter. It also means that Jin Yong will directly obey Zhang Cheng in the future and will no longer be Jin Xinpeng's servant.

Jin Xinpeng is clear about this, he has a clever mind, as early as Zhang Guangda came to Dushiqi in the early stage of riding an army horse, he was quietly observing and testing.

In his opinion, Zhang Cheng treats his subordinates very well, which is different from other generals, and when he knew that Zhang Cheng not only brought more than a thousand elite soldiers to the North Road, but also hundreds of craftsmen and land reclamation teams When coming with the army.

He had a premonition that Zhang Cheng's ambitions were not shallow, and this place on the North Road was probably just a springboard for Zhang Cheng. Since then, he has arranged for Jin Yong to get in touch with Zhang Guangda more often, no matter what the future holds, to establish a good relationship first. You can never go wrong.

The old rivers and lakes are the old rivers and lakes. For an old fox like Jin Xinpeng, if you can cooperate, don't tear yourself apart, and Zhang Cheng is also very tempered with him.

When Jin Xiaoguo was caught as a gangster, Zhang Cheng chose to send him over quietly, which not only showed his generosity, but also showed his desire to cooperate, and at the same time showed the strength behind him. Does Jin Xinpeng still have a choice? ?

Self-knowledge is the most important thing in people!
Jin Xinpeng is just a person with self-knowledge, so he chooses to obey Zhang Cheng, while Yan Qingrong is not on the same side with Jin Xinpeng, Xue Liangqing and others. He has always formed his own faction in Beilu, but he does things without leaking, so he does it all the way. Command things.

Zhang Cheng left the North Road tomorrow to go to Beijing to thank him. Before he left, he had to explain something. First, everyone discussed some personnel issues within the shogunate.

These Zhang Cheng didn't want to interfere too much, but his own people still had to be placed in various places of the shogunate, and as for the rest, the principals in various places should use some people they were familiar with.

For example, Feng Yuanshan must be in the Tuntian Division of the Tunzheng Office, Ma Huijun must be in the Animal Husbandry Division, and Zhang Cheng in the Mining Division also intends to choose someone from the artisan households he brought.

Zhang Cheng wants to infiltrate his original team into Kaipingwei, and also recruit a group of old people from Shangbei Road to use them for his own use. This is a shortcut for a win-win situation.

As for those who don't have eyesight, there will always be such people in any era. For Zhang Cheng, they have only one fate left, which is to be chickens and be used as a warning to monkeys!

…………

Everyone discussed for a while the personnel and urgent affairs of various parts of the shogunate, Zhang Cheng did not intervene, he is very satisfied with the current state, everyone has entered the role, and began to worry about the affairs and talents of each department. This is good!

Seeing that everyone was discussing about the same, Zhang Cheng interjected at the right time and said: "Your affairs, we will discuss here today first, and we will adjust slowly as the affairs of various places develop in the future. It cannot be done overnight.

However, regarding the operation of the new barracks, there are still some miscellaneous tasks, the general still needs to explain it, so everyone can prepare in advance, so as not to be in a hurry when things happen. "

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he glanced at all the people in the hall, and then said again: "Zhang Guangda, I have more than [-] elite cavalry under my command, and now I will give you the command. In addition, you are allowed to come from Yunzhou and Dushi. In the new army, the priority is to select suitable soldiers and fill them into the cavalry battalion.

At the same time, except for the horses in the guard, you are allowed to choose any horses from other places under your command, but the cavalry battalion is equipped with the corresponding horses and pack horses before considering the use of other battalions.
In addition, your cavalry battalion should be divided into three parts for training, one is heavy cavalry, the other is ranger cavalry, and the third is light cavalry. They will take on different war missions in future battles. "
