Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 266 Recruiting White Soldiers and Wolf Soldiers
Cheng Gong is in charge of business matters, and there are also special ministers in charge of internal affairs, finance and other aspects, and the Secretary of Integrity is watching closely behind to prevent corruption from breeding again.

As the Minister of National Defense, Tang Ning's most important job now is to try his best to integrate the military forces at hand, and then go all out for the Northern Expedition.

Today, Zuo Menggeng's Zuo Army and Li Guo's Dashun Army are mainly fighting against the Qing army in Jiangbei.

As the Qing army began to gradually occupy the city, and the main reinforcements of the Xianghuang Banner and Xianghong Banner arrived, the Qing army had gradually stabilized its decline.

But this is not what Tangning wants, he doesn't want to fight this war for a long time by consuming each other.

Therefore, we must continue to mobilize troops and change the strategic policy to change the current situation.

So, he immediately thought of the heroic white pole soldiers and Guangxi wolf soldiers.

The white pole soldiers were brought out by Qin Liangyu, a famous female general, with great achievements in battle, and they are rare and excellent troops in Ming Dynasty.

There are many loyal and martyrs in the Qin family. Generations of people have fought for the Ming Dynasty, conquered the whole country, and worked hard.

Tangning also admired this female general, she is a true heroine.

Zhang Xianzhong conquered almost the whole of Sichuan, but the Shizhu Xuanfu Division, which also belonged to Sichuan, was a tough bone that he couldn't chew on many times.

Until now, Zhang Xianzhong even had some shadows in his heart, and he didn't dare to take Shizhu's idea lightly.

However, Senior Qin is already old at this time, he should be over seventy.

Although Tangning didn't experience the demeanor of senior Qin with his own eyes, he knew very well that as long as the country needed it, no matter how old she was, she would definitely be obliged.

In the official history, the senior Qin never left his military career until his death.

This time, Tang Ning and the staff discussed a new strategy that required elite troops, so white soldiers were a very important option for him to consider.

Tang Jianguo Zhu Yujian was also aware of Tangning's new strategy. After hearing about it, he was very excited. When he heard that the support of white and wolf soldiers was needed, he immediately wrote a letter and sent envoys to Shizhu.

Tang Ning also specially ordered to dispatch 100 million taels of silver from Guangdong, and sent people to Shizhu to hand it over to Senior Qin.

Because, he also admired senior Qin's military training methods.

It is absolutely unimaginable for a female stream to be able to train an elite soldier by herself in a relatively remote place under such a corrupt military and political system in Daming.

But, she did it.Moreover, she received very little court assistance, mainly relying on herself.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, in a key battle with Zhang Xianzhong, Qin Liangyu's department paid a heavy loss of [-] yuan for the first time due to the low-level command error of the incompetent Ming army commander.

At this critical moment, she didn't think about preserving her strength, and asked to send another [-] soldiers from Xidong to fight. She was even willing to pay half of the food and salary, and the other half needed the support of the government.

Ridiculously, the commander of the Ming army rejected Qin Liangyu's proposal due to internal discord, and Qin Liangyu had to leave with a sigh.

Under such a situation, Qin Liangyu, a female generation, always treats Daming the same. I don't know if some people will feel ashamed because of this.

Tang Ning could appreciate the difficulties involved. This time, Tang Jian Guo personally wrote the edict. Tang Ning didn't need to guess. She knew that Senior Qin would never refuse, and would definitely support it to the best of her ability, and would not have any complaints.

Tang Ning also knew that Senior Qin would not take the initiative to raise his difficulties to the court. Even if Tang Ning did not pay 100 million taels of silver, Senior Qin would still send troops without hesitation.

But as a junior, Tangning couldn't feel at ease like this.

What's more, he also knew that even if Senior Qin got the million taels of silver, he would not use it for private use, and would definitely use it for military training, trying his best to train more white-armed soldiers.

This is what Tangning wants to see. Although the new army's training methods are closer to modernization, it does not necessarily mean that they are the most advanced.

To say that it is more suitable for close combat with cold weapons, the white soldiers are probably much stronger than the new army.

Firearms will eventually completely replace cold weapons. Tangning is also developing in this direction, but it will take a process. It is impossible to eliminate all cold weapons at once.

Therefore, the elite who are suitable for close combat must continue to train. Even if they are trained as firearms soldiers in the future, they can fight both far and close, and they will only have more combat effectiveness.

At this time, the news of Daming's recovery of Yingtian Mansion had spread to the southwest, and Qin Liangyu couldn't hide her excitement when she heard about it.

Can't wait to lead the whole family to comfort the late emperor and the two elder brothers who died in the battle.

Within half a month, Ge Nunniang, who was sent by Tangning's wife Song Yunshu, led a group of people into the stone pillar, representing Tangning.

Of course, Qin Liangyu had heard about Tang Ning, a junior. The capture of Yingtian Mansion and the severe damage to the Azig Department was done by Tang Ning, who personally led the new army, which greatly increased her affection for Tang Ning, a junior.

Ge Nunniang, who represented Tang Ning this time, was also a hero among girls, which made Qin Liangyu very happy.

Ge Nunniang not only brought 100 million taels of silver, but also ten machine guns, some ammunition and some grenades.

The reason why the white pole soldiers are equipped with these advanced firearms is that the terrain of the stone pillars is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is very suitable for building bunkers to stop the enemy.

There is another important reason, Ying Tianfu's envoys should arrive soon, and they will call out a lot of white soldiers to support them, which will inevitably make the defense of the stone pillars empty.

Although we temporarily reached a consensus with Zhang Xianzhong that the well water should not violate the river water, but the heart of defense is indispensable. With these ten machine guns, Zhang Xianzhong dared to stretch out his claws to the stone pillar, and definitely cut off his claws.

The strategic position of the stone pillars is also very important. If Zhang Xianzhong dared to go out of Sichuan and attack Huguang, the white-armed soldiers might cut off his retreat, so strengthening the strength of the white-armed soldiers would only be beneficial.

Naturally, Qin Liangyu had also heard about the magic soldiers of the new army. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, and was demonstrated by the machine gunner brought by Ge Nunniang, he was shocked and delighted at the same time.

Ge Nunniang didn't hide it, and told Qin Liangyu that the envoy from Yingtian Mansion would arrive soon, and the purpose of the envoy's arrival.

Sure enough, as Tangning guessed, Qin Liangyu did not refuse at all, even before the envoy arrived, he organized his army one step ahead of time, preparing to send [-] elite troops.

Ge Nunniang has also learned about the current situation of the Baigan soldiers. The total strength of the Baigan soldiers is only 4 to [-], and many of them are recruits.

After all, since the 13th year of Chongzhen, the white-armed soldiers have experienced many battles. Due to the command errors of the commander of the Ming army and the outnumbered enemies, the elite lost a lot.

Fifteen thousand elites are definitely the greatest support.

Ge Nunniang was overwhelmed with emotion, all she could do now was to quickly send people to help the white soldiers build ten bunkers at key locations.

Later, she will leave a few machine gunners to help the white soldiers train some machine gunners who can use machine guns.

In a few days, the envoys from Yingtianfu finally arrived, and the content of Tang Jianguo's letter was not much different from what Ge Nunniang said.

Qin Liangyu didn't delay anymore, and immediately ordered his nephew Qin Gongming to be the chief general, and Qin Zuoming to be the deputy general, to lead the army to Yingtian Mansion to help, and fully cooperate with the deployment of King Guangming.

It can be said that the trip went very smoothly. Tangning successfully borrowed [-] elite white soldiers.

And another envoy is going to Guangxi, please transfer wolf soldiers.

Historically, Guangxi soldiers have been known for their proficiency in combat, and Guangxi wolf soldiers are also well-known.

The Guangxi wolf soldiers also fought against the Qing army many times in Liaodong before, and Dorgon and other Qing army generals had to admit that this was an elite division.

Since this time is to recruit elites, it is natural that Guangxi wolf soldiers cannot be missing.
