Chapter 625 Appointing You as the Commander of the 'Liaozhou Battalion'

After dinner on the eighth day of the lunar new year, Zhang Cheng summoned Wu Zhizhong, Zhang Guangda, Lin Fangping, Liu Quan and others. In the side hall of the deputy commander's office, he said to several people: "During dinner today, I received a report from Zhencheng He Shihui. A letter from him, saying that after Wen Hui returned to Zhencheng, he was furious, and once wanted to lead his troops to the North Road, to settle accounts with the commander-in-chief, and to ask for the murderer.

Luckily Liu Futai stopped him with all his strength, and the generals in the town dissuaded him. Although Wen Hui didn't come to Beilu, he still had resentment in his heart. It's under the hood.

Old Wu, in addition to stepping up your recruitment drills here, you must also pay close attention to the movements of all parties. Before the commander returns to the army, the soldiers and horses of each battalion are not allowed to rest, and officers and generals at all levels must live in the battalion and be on call at any time. "

"Here!"

Zhang Cheng said to Zhang Guangda: "Since General Wen won't come to play with us for a while, Guangda will go back and prepare. Before noon tomorrow, the cavalry battalion will set out to advance eastward first, and Tiger Guard and I will leave one day later. Let's meet in the east of Changping City."

"Here!"

After Zhang Guangda responded loudly, he reminded worriedly: "Marshal, should we ambush an elite soldier on the North Road, just in case!"

"No. I have other arrangements for the North Road, so there is no need to worry about it."

After he finished speaking, he called Liu Quan again, and said: "Liu Quan, I have appointed you as the chief general of the 'Liaozhou Battalion', and based on your troops and horses, we will form another department ahead of Donglumu.

In this way, you will directly lead the troops on the left, and you will take the position of the general manager of the right department with the horses. In the future, after you go to Liaozhou with Qin Liangpan, you can recruit another army and horses there, and Li Damu can be the general manager at that time. post. "

Zhang Cheng went on to say: "Liaozhou is located in the hinterland of Jin Province, adjacent to the Taihang Mountains, and bandits are rampant. After you protect Qin Liang and take office, you must use the momentum of thunder to wipe out the bandits and kill the prestige of our army on the North Road Come."

"Here!"

After Liu Quan answered loudly, he said again: "Liu Quansheng is a man of the commander-in-chief. Even if he dies and becomes a ghost, he must follow the commander-in-chief to kill the enemy!"

Zhang Cheng waved his hand with a smile, and said to him, "If that's the case, you can follow me after I become a ghost."

"Hahaha!"

After a burst of laughter in the side hall, Zhang Chengcai went on to say: "Liu Quan, I want to ask you something. Did you have a former subordinate named Cheng Long?"

"Cheng Long?"

Liu Quan was silent for a while, seemed to think about it, and said: "When Chongzhen was with the commander-in-chief for 11 years, there was indeed a brother named Cheng Long, who was in the top three of Sun Dashan at that time. dead."

Zhang Cheng glared at him and said: "The youngest brother in Cheng Long's family is called Cheng Hu. He was bullied by a wicked young man in the town before. Fortunately, Zhang Guangda rescued him after hearing the news. Since his brother is your subordinate, today I will send him away." Cheng Hu sent you to serve as a sergeant in the battalion, I hope you can train strictly so that he can inherit his brother's legacy as soon as possible, make great achievements in front of the battle, and bring glory to the Cheng family."

Liu Quan received the order in a loud voice: "Please don't worry, Commander, I will definitely train Cheng Hu strictly in a humble position, so that he will become the commander's assistant as soon as possible."

Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile, and then discussed some chores with everyone, and then retreated.

…………

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, on May [-]th, the scorching sun scorched the earth, and it also scorched the soldiers on the campus of Chicheng Castle South University. Although they were sweating profusely, they were still in uniform, and those soldiers with swords and shields were wearing armor and holding shields. , The sergeant's slogans were interspersed with the roar of the guns.

According to Zhang Cheng's regulations, such intense drills required three meals a day for the sergeants, so around noon, the battalion drills gradually came to a halt, and all the teams were already in formation.

Although Jin Yong is only guarding Chicheng now, everyone knows that he is likely to become the next commander of the camp, and they don't even look at where Chicheng is?
This is the place where the lord general's family members are located, how can anyone who is not the most trusted person of the commander-in-chief sit here, not to mention that since Jin Yong followed the commander-in-chief, he has been on the North Road to suppress thieves. He has done a lot of meritorious service.

It has long been rumored among the people that Zhang Guodong, the former Chicheng garrison, Chicheng battalion commander, and guerrilla general Zhang Guodong, will be promoted to the rank of general after returning from the battle in Liaodong this time.

Nowadays, everyone is speculating that Jin Yong will also follow Zhang Guodong's path, and he will definitely be a member of the generals in the near future.

But since Jin Yong himself was educated by his clan uncle Jin Xinpeng that night, it was as if he had opened up his mind. He eliminated all distracting thoughts and only seriously did what Zhang Cheng ordered.

Since the third day of May, he went to pay his respects to Zhang Cheng's wife Ji Xuanzhu every two days, even if Ji Xuanzhu told him not to do so, he never stopped.

And regarding the guarding of Chi Castle, no matter how big or small, he would go to the procuratorate office to ask the second wife Yang Liying for instructions. Even in the army, he also called Zhang Cheng's wife the mistress of the house and Zhang Cheng the master of the general.

This is what he can think of to be loyal to Zhang Cheng, that is, he has made up his mind to be loyal to Zhang Cheng, so he will not care about other people's opinions, and only do what he thinks is right. This is Jin Yong's purest idea.

Therefore, his requirements for his subordinates have become increasingly strict, because according to Zhang Cheng's military order, his subordinates will be expanded into the "Yongwei Battalion", although temporarily giving priority to recruiting recruits for the Detachment of Women.

But Jin Yong is not only responsible for the garrison of Chi Castle, he is also the backbone of Zhang Cheng's stay on the North Road, so the newly recruited soldiers are also given priority to him.

Now there are more than [-] sergeants in this large school field. They are a mix of veterans and new warriors. The former chief Zheng Youjin of the first division was promoted to the left division chief, while the second division chief Gao Chengshan was promoted to the right division commander.

Almost all the officers at all levels in Jin Yong's original department were directly promoted to a higher level, and even sergeants with outstanding performance were promoted to the rank of armored commander.

For example, Li Erdan, a swordsman and shield soldier in the first team and first team of the second division of the original Jia Division, who has repeatedly made meritorious service, was promoted to the leader of the cold army. In addition to him, there are four other veterans in his team. They are all Xinyong.

In the first round of the first game, the second team and the second-ranked blunderbuss players became three tigers. Because of the accuracy of the blunderbuss and the blessing of combat achievements, they are now the top ones.

The two of them were not familiar with each other before, but they were both leaders in the army, they had received many awards for their meritorious service, and their names were well known in the army, so they naturally knew each other.

…………

After lunch that day, Li Erdan was basking in the sun on the school grounds with a "Beizhaguan brand" cigarette in his mouth, but Cheng Sanhu came over with a smile on his face.

He carelessly picked up the cigarette case next to Li Erdan, fiddled with a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and before he lit it, he laughed and said: "Yo, I said Li Erdan, you are also a boss anyway, why don't you Smoking the cannon barrel."

Li Erdan glanced at him, and said angrily: "What's wrong. I don't like my cigarettes, you can find someone else to ask for it, don't wait to make trouble for me!"

Cheng Sanhu didn't take it seriously, he took out his fire pocket, blew on the torch and lit the cigarette in his mouth, and asked meaningfully: "You idiot, the battle to kill the Tartars didn't catch up, and I'm feeling very depressed. Do not?"
