The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 457

After coercing Sanzhou to buy the gunpowder formula at a high price, Lin Yifan didn't dare to give them the formula at this time. He just asked them to send the money whenever they wanted.

The three of them had no choice but to send someone to rush back to report to their master.However, the situation in Yanzhou had reached a critical moment at this time. Under Liu Ziming's repeated pleas, Lin Yifan also knew that if he didn't provide assistance as soon as possible, Yanzhou might not last long.Therefore, Lin Yifan agreed to his request and agreed to send [-] cavalry to Yanzhou to help.At the same time, people will be organized to deliver a batch of gunpowder to reinforcements.Although there were only [-] cavalry as reinforcements, Lin Yifan firmly believed that these [-] cavalry alone would be enough to contain Cao Jun's offensive and buy time for Yanzhou.Because the use of gunpowder today is only for attacking cities and breaking formations.The cavalry is flexible and changeable. If it is in the plains, gunpowder with many restrictions will not have a great impact on the cavalry. This is why Lin Yifan still attaches great importance to the construction of the cavalry.

After appeasing Liu Ziming, Lin Yifan called Luo Yi to ask who should be sent as the chief general of the rushing aid army.

Luo Yi thought for a moment before answering: "Now our army has only one mobile force left, the Zhenbei Army. Now that the civil strife among the Donghu people is still going on, maybe we can send a soldier from them to rescue."

"Well, I think so too." Lin Yifan nodded slightly, "Why don't you let Luo Feng take on this important task?"

"Not right." Luo Yi shook his head and said, "Luo Feng still needs to monitor the Donghu people's movements all the time, so he should not leave them lightly. However, he has a general under his command, who can be made, why not let him be the chief general of the reinforcements?"

"Oh, who is it? Can you get into the eyes of your father-in-law?" Lin Yifan originally wanted Luo Feng to make new achievements, but he didn't want Luo Yi to be recommended by others, so he couldn't help asking curiously.

"This man's name is Ning Feng, and he is now the commander of the heavy cavalry under Feng'er." Luo Yi introduced, "This man once participated in Cao Jun's Northern Expedition, and was promoted to the team leader because of his merits; King Zuoxian was promoted to the commander due to his meritorious service. Finally, in the battle of Shazhou, he was promoted to the position of commander today. , all believe that this person has the qualifications of a good general and can lead an army independently. Now that the leader of the reinforcement army is selected, this person should be competent."

"Okay, then father-in-law can send me the information about this person, I want to know about it." Lin Yifan nodded and said solemnly.

The next day, after reading Ning Feng's information, Lin Yifan was quite satisfied with this candidate, and Dang even signed the letter of appointment, promoting Ning Feng as the capital commander to command Wanqi.At the same time, he was appointed as the chief general of the army to aid Yan, and he took up his post immediately.

When Ning Feng received this appointment, he was in a daze.The crowd surrounded him with a clatter, and congratulated him enviously.

Luo Feng also stepped forward, punched him, and scolded him with a smile: "You are promising, you can become a teacher. I really can't bear it, now I feel like someone has gouged out a piece of flesh, my heart aches so much." La."

"General, I don't want to part with everyone, or I will resign this appointment." Ning Feng said at a loss, turning his head around.

"What kind of words are you saying, you're just so promising?" Luo Feng scolded, "It's a good thing, you can lead the army independently, and our Suppressing North Army is also honored. But you have to remember, you are the Suppressing North Army Don’t embarrass us if you come from a family background. Otherwise, I’ll lead all my brothers to beat your ass to pieces, you know?”

"The last general will never embarrass our Zhenbei Army." Ning Feng replied with a serious face.

"Okay, Ning Feng, I don't worry about the fact that the newly formed cavalry are all new recruits." Luo Feng nodded in relief, and then said worriedly, "This time you keep the three thousand cavalry for yourself. In addition, I will send another group of elite backbones to assist you in training those recruits. This task is very difficult, you, be careful."

"Thank you, General." Ning Feng knew Luo Feng's intentions and couldn't help but choked up.

However, in two days, when Ning Feng arrived at Tongwan City with more than 3000 cavalry, after meeting with Lin Yifan, he rushed to the newly formed cavalry camp.Because these recruits are made up of reservists and have certain military training, when Ning Feng entered the camp, the whole camp was fairly orderly. review.If the generals of other forces saw this scene, they would be ecstatic, thinking they had a strong army.But in the eyes of Ning Feng and other veterans, these are a group of new recruits who have not fought, and they can only pose well. Once they enter the battlefield, they will sway their legs straight.

But now he has no time to train them slowly, after staying here for a day, they will set off.Therefore, Ning Feng brutally split up the elite soldiers under his command and stuffed them into the recruits to serve as officers at all levels.Without waiting for everyone to adjust, he ordered the army to set off and head south quickly.

In Ning Feng's eyes, how can cavalry be trained in the camp, the vast world is the best training ground for cavalry.He decided to train while marching. When he arrived in Yanzhou, the newly built cavalry had to be reborn.

For this independent leadership, Ning Feng is also working hard, he wants to prove his ability in this battle.After all, who wouldn't want to make contributions and become famous?
A few days after Ning Feng left, the gunpowder escort team also started to set off.There are thousands of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion who are responsible for the escort this time. They say they are responsible for protecting and operating the gunpowder. After all, when it comes to the ability to use gunpowder, even Cao Jun may feel ashamed.The purpose of supporting Yanzhou this time is to repel Cao Jun's Northern Expedition. Now the only one in the world who can compete with Cao Jun is the Hengshan Army, and only the Hengshan Army can restrain Cao Jun.At the same time, Lin Yifan also wanted to learn more about Cao Jun's combat power through this battle. He wanted to see if Cao Jun, who had gunpowder, could become a strong enemy of Hengshan.

Once the strategy of aiding Yan is completed, Hengshan has no time to take care of the war in the Central Plains, because the Western Expeditionary Army returned by Hou Mingfeng has already arrived at Tianmen Pass, and if counting the days, it will take more than a month to return to Hengshan.But the courier who dispatched the fast horse in advance had already arrived at Hengshan, and delivered a thick stack of letters to Lin Yifan.

As Lin Yifan read carefully one by one, he was finally able to learn the details of the Western Expedition.After reading it, he began to think about how to reward the military exploits of the Western Expedition.After all, this Western Expedition can be described as Hengshan's largest expedition. A total of 20 soldiers and horses were dispatched across thousands of miles, almost exhausting Hengshan's savings.At the same time, the rewards obtained are also amazing, not to mention the wealth worth tens of millions of taels; just bringing more than 40 states in the central and western regions into the jurisdiction of Hengshan, and obtaining an enclave with a radius of thousands of miles. It is also an inexhaustible feat of expanding the territory.

It is not Hengshan's blessing not to reward people for meritorious service, but how to reward them is also a difficult problem.For example, Hou Mingfeng has achieved the position of the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army. With Lin Yifan's current status, there is really no reward.

"Perhaps, it's time to adopt a new military system." Lin Yifan muttered to himself, the current military system is still based on the military system of the Tianwu Empire, but with some changes.But with the advent of gunpowder and artillery, some military systems have become outdated.What's more, since the system established by Hengshan is already very different from the world, how can this military system follow the old system?Since he has created a system internally, the military system should also echo this system.

In an instant, many military systems in modern history flashed in Lin Yifan's mind, making him at a loss as to how to choose.However, he is more worried about whether these modern military systems can integrate into this world.After all, the existing military system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has been in existence for more than a thousand years. It may not be so easy for everyone to accept the new military system.
