Chapter 87 Forming a Cavalry Team

The tall and thick-set Hungbatulu was quickly brought in. When he saw Lin Feng, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times before raising his upper body and mumbling something.

Lin Feng naturally didn't understand anything and turned to look at Wu Yunna.

Wu Yunna explained that Hungbatulu was using the most sacred etiquette of the Ordos tribe to pay homage to the Immortal God. He was begging Lin Feng to accept him as a devout servant, and swore in the name of the god that he would dedicate everything to protect you.

When Lin Feng heard this, he thought it was better to have faith, and he immediately subdued a Mongolian warrior.

In ancient times, gods had a great frightening effect on the ancients, especially for nomads, whose belief in the Immortal Heaven came from deep in their souls.

Lin Feng has demonstrated extraordinary powers that they cannot understand, and it is not surprising that he is regarded as the reincarnation of a true god with mysterious powers.

Lin Feng then chatted with Hungbatulu through Wu Yunna's translation.

"Hongbatulu, your name is too long. What do you think if I give you a Chinese name, just Hongtu?" Lin Feng felt that calling him a four-letter name every time was too strenuous.

"Thank you, Master, for the name. I will be called Hongtu from now on!" Hongbatulu accepted the new name without any hesitation.

"You are willing to stay and help me form a cavalry. I will use it to sweep away all the monsters and ghosts in the world and give our people a stable life." Lin Feng stated his purpose.

"I do! I only hope that the master can also bless our Ordos Left Banner in the future." Hong Tu still seems to have deep feelings for the tribe he came from, and it can be seen that he is also a man who knows how to repay kindness.

"Can you speak Chinese?" Lin Feng asked finally.

"Yes, it will be a little bit simple." Hong Tu also replied in Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

Hey, I don’t know the language well, that’s a problem.

But this problem is left to Wu Yunna. Lin Feng asked her to teach Hong Tu some basic Chinese in the shortest possible time, just to ensure that she could deliver orders.

Then, Lin Feng ordered Wu Yunna to take Hong Tu to recruit cavalry from the captured Mongols who were willing to stay in Fugu, and promised to give their tribe a subsidy of 2 stones of food for each person left. Wu Yunna actively recruited .

These prisoners had eaten pickles, black steamed buns, and a full meal of porridge this morning. Many of them had not had a full meal for a long time. I heard that if they stayed, they could have a full meal and get paid. Coupled with Hongtu's propaganda about the reincarnation of the true god, many people were immediately moved.

In the end, after some screening, about 50 people who had no worries in the tribe were mainly selected to stay and prepare to join the cavalry team that Lin Feng was about to form.

If we want to fight in the north in the future, we will definitely not be able to do it without cavalry. The core combat effectiveness of Li Zicheng and other peasant armies was also cavalry.

In the early stage, there were no war horses and there was a lack of talents to command cavalry, so neither the Minzhuang Team nor the Guards had specially formed cavalry.

This time, so many war horses were captured, and some Mongolians were left behind. It would be a waste of opportunity not to quickly form cavalry.

When Wu Yunna and the others went to recruit Mongolian men, Lin Feng was also thinking about how to form this cavalry team.

First of all, the cavalry cannot be placed under the Minzhuang team. This kind of offensive force is too eye-catching when placed under the county government. It is better to place it with the escort. Moreover, raising cavalry is very expensive, and even the county government cannot afford to raise them.

The second is the formation of the cavalry. The backbone must be Mongolians, but the command cannot be completely controlled by the Mongols, otherwise they will not know when they will rebel.

Therefore, Lin Feng decided that the cavalry team would be half Han and half Mongolian, and Wang Qin, the intelligent deputy captain of the escort team, would be appointed as the captain, and Hong Tu, who was now very pious, would be the deputy captain. The command of the cavalry must still be controlled by people you trust. Wang Qin happened to be here, and he called him over to talk. When he heard that he was going to form a cavalry and that he would be responsible for it, he happily agreed immediately.

The horses and personnel here are all ready-made. It only took one day to complete the formation of the cavalry team, with a total of 150 people and horses.

The full name of the cavalry team is the Guards Cavalry Brigade. It is divided into two squadrons. The first squadron is composed entirely of Mongolians and is mainly equipped with sabers. The second squadron is mainly composed of Han people and is equipped with several Mongolian instructors to help with training and equipment. Mainly bows and arrows and fire guns.

Considering that cavalry training requires a relatively wide area, it is definitely not suitable to be placed on Sitong Village. The space on the mountain is too narrow.

After Lin Feng thought about it, he decided to place the cavalry brigade in the Fudong compound outside the city. The area there was very open, making it easier for the cavalry to train and maneuver.

But now there are no barracks facilities in the Fudong compound, so we can only temporarily stay at the old martial arts field in the county and squeeze in with the people of the people's strong team.

At the same time, Lin Feng took out another 1000 taels from the space of his personal airliner and informed Li Construction to immediately choose a suitable place to build a simple barracks for the cavalry in the Fudong compound.

There is no need to worry about whether the barracks are beautiful or not. Just build some logs, as long as they can keep warm. For garrisoning troops, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little more extensive.

Fortunately, in this era, Lin Feng had no choice but to go through any bidding procedures. He gave the order and Li's Construction started work in the severe cold that day, and it is estimated that it will be completed in a few days.

After this battle, Lin Feng felt that it was necessary to report to the superiors. On the one hand, although he was not a military attache and his military achievements were useless, it was always good to show off his talents in this area.

On the other hand, we must first give the Yulin Guards a bunch of idiots some eye drops. They will never be able to get away with the crime of allowing the Mongolian Tatars to enter and plunder.

It just so happened that Chen Xiong had finished delivering the grain and had to return to Jiazhou with the people from Sitong Express.

So Lin Feng wrote two identical battle reports, briefly describing how the Yulin Guards allowed the Mongolian Tatars to invade, and he led a strong team of county citizens to defend the city in a bloody battle, killing more than 30 enemy cavalry. At the same time, he prepared the Tatars with lime salt. The son's head was ready to be reported to Jiazhou and the governor's Yamen at the same time.

In addition, he wrote another letter to Jing Xiaoyan, asking him to forward the battle report to Governor Sun.

They also arranged some briquette stoves, woolen coats and other gifts, and specially prepared a gift of 2000 taels of silver for Chen Xiong to take with him.

I plan to send 1000 taels to the governor Sun Chuanting and 200 taels to Jing Xiaoyan, 400 taels to Zhang Zhizhou in Jiazhou, and 200 taels each to Xu Tongzhi and Zhang Tongzhi.

This battle report is either true or false. The killing of the Mongolian Tatars is of course true. I won’t mention the capture of more than 200 people. Otherwise, this military achievement would be too scary. The Ming Dynasty’s frontier troops have been fighting against Mongolia for many years, and there are rarely one-time successes. So many prisoners.

Once this key point is reported, Lin Feng will not be able to embezzle the captured war horses. Moreover, if the superiors require the transfer of Mongolian prisoners of war, the deal with the Ordos tribe will be ruined.

In the official environment of the late Ming Dynasty, it was unreasonable to give gifts during the Chinese New Year without spending a lot of money.

After preparing the battle reports, letters and gifts, Lin Feng asked Chen Xiong to take the people from Sitong Express to Jiazhou and Xi'an City as soon as possible. This official relationship must be maintained well and try to gain as much as possible for the development of Fugu. time.

For safety on the road, Lin Feng also specifically told Fang Dashan to arrange for a small team of escorts to accompany them all the way. From now on, this team will be stationed in Jiazhou.

　The foundation of the rebellion continues to be consolidated.
