Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Under the order of Yang Chendong, a large number of trees and rocks were carried into the city, and temporary houses were either reinforced or erected directly from the ground. Now that we have to choose this place as a base camp, we naturally have to establish a place where the army lives.

A line of brave and adept cavalry stepped down from their horses and became construction workers building their homes. Not only them, but the thousands of people in the city are also busy with them. Among them, except the children, everyone else has joined the army of building the city together.

The old and young men work with the mercenary soldiers. Everyday all can earn a silver taels, which is naturally a great temptation for them. The women also entered the logistics camp to help cook together, so that they could not only eat three meals in the army, but also earn half of the silver taels a day, which is already an unprecedented good thing.

For the thousands of people in the city, silver is a very distant matter, and there is almost no impression. Usually the necessities of life are men go hunting, women go to mend their clothes, and barely starve to death that’s all. But now, the appearance of mercenaries has brought them new hope. They are already imagining that with enough money, one day they can buy the good things that they have always wanted to buy but are afraid to buy. Maybe that day, they can live like a person.

Yang Chendong has always had no shortage of silver. The creativity of Chihkan City has surpassed any force. Heaven Beyond the Heaven Trading Company has also become the wealthiest Trading Company today. The rare goods that have come out of their hands have now circulated to five continents and eight places. Even some unfriendly forces have never publicly excluded Yang-type goods. . After all, there are some things that even their nobles and royal families like. Once they openly reject them, they will not be able to get the goods they like, and they will get items that can make their quality of life reach a higher level.

as the saying goes, it is easy to do things with money. Yang Chendong firmly believes that when a large sum of money goes out, it will definitely attract more people to Sicheng, work or settle here. It will not be long before this place will become a big city, a strong city.

Now that it is called Sicheng, Yang Chendong has certain ideas and hopes in his heart, that is, to build this city into one of the largest cities nearby. In order to achieve this goal, he had to expand the original area of ​​the Great City on top of the original foundation. At first, it would be more than ten times the original size, and the number of workers required was an astronomical figure.

Just thinking about the shortage of manpower, Hu Mang is here. He brought a full five thousand captives of migrant workers, Yang Chendong heard it was laughed heartily, “Very well, immediately arrange for them to start work. By the way, in order for them to devote their full energy to the maximum, you can tell them If you perform well, you will not only be able to regain your freedom, but you can also get several times more wages than outside.”

Yang Chendong seemed to be in a good mood. Hu Mang agreed to take the opportunity at the same time. Talk about the performance of the independent regiment cavalry on the battlefield. In the end, he took the initiative to review, saying that he was weak in leadership, and asked for punishment.

The ten cavalry battalions established after the Independence Regiment were not trained by Hu Mang alone. They were just ordinary Northern Ming guardsmen. Speaking of military quality, it can only be said to be average. If it weren’t for thinking about not wanting to reveal their identity and whereabouts at the time, I am afraid that these people would be let go.

But now that he stayed, and stayed for such a long time, and after the other party learned about the mercenary situation, he also wanted to join in. Yang Chendong was naturally not good at rejecting it. This gave them the opportunity to join the army and even become a glorious cavalry.

But a weak foundation is a weak foundation. This is an indisputable fact. After the First World War, they have exposed too many weaknesses and shortcomings.

Ordinarily, if such an army is replaced by other generals, it should be given up. After all, it takes a lot of energy and financial resources to train a qualified cavalry, and even training an excellent cavalry is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive than training five infantry.

But now that they are destined to join the mercenary, in line with the principle of not abandoning and not giving up, Yang Chendong cannot just let it go. After a little thinking, he took the initiative to say: “Let’s do it, I’ll give you one month. During this month, unless the situation is urgent, the ten battalions will not be assigned any combat missions. And one month later. ·For the assessment, those who are qualified can stay, and those who fail to pass will be paid to leave the army.”

How to say these cavalry are also children of the Han family. Based on this, Yang Chendong is worthy of giving. They have a chance.

Hu Mang was originally worried that the Sixth Young Master would be angry, and directly disbanded the soldiers who had just become cavalry. After all, the survival of the fittest in the army is too common. If that’s the case, as the head of the independent regiment, he can’t say anything.

Fortunately, Sixth Young Master still misses the old feelings and promises to give the brothers a chance to become stronger. Right now, he respectfully saluted him, “Thank you Young Master, thank you for the four thousand brothers under me.”

“hehe.” It can be seen that Hu Mang is sincerely thanking Yang Chendong. His face changed to solemnly and said: “I don’t want thanks but hope that they will stay in a month.”

“Yes.” Hu Mang saluted again and decided.

The order was communicated to the army. When the ten new cavalry battalions of the Independence Regiment heard the final decision of Sixth Young Master, many people had bloodshot eyes. They know that one of the best opportunities in life may also be the last opportunity, an opportunity that can change their lives.

Perhaps their abilities were so mediocre in the past, or even weak. But that is only due to military regulations. In such an environment where everyone lives in a mess, even if you want to perform, there are no opportunities, let alone any conditions. Think about it, can an army that can only barely eat enough to point to any powerful battle strength?

But now, their eat, drink, shit and piss are not a problem, and they don’t even need to build the city like two cavalry strengthening regiments and Jurchen cavalry regiments, but they only need to concentrate on training. can. In such an environment, if they can’t improve their own strength within a month, then they are really rubbish, and it is really not worthy of anyone to sympathize with them and understand them.

Although they still can’t have the powerful horse battle strength like the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment in a month, at least they are better than ordinary cavalry, and reach the standard of second-class cavalry.

With this kind of belief, the independent group goes out of town for training every day. They won’t come back until it’s completely dark and invisible, and after a full meal with their tired body, they quickly enter the temporary military camp to rest.

At least six hours of training every day, but no one complains or is tired. They are all working hard to change and improve themselves.

The Independence Group is changing at an astonishing speed. Just like them, Sicheng is also changing day by day. When the simple barracks were built, Yang Chendong gave another order, and some old houses in the city were torn down one after another. The stones and woods removed were used to build the outer city wall.

In Yang Chendong’s eyes, most of the original urban buildings are unqualified. Not only are their houses simple and not strong enough, but the layout is too messy. The streets are too narrow and there is no plan. No matter how large the site and the population, this kind of city is still very backward.

Even though city is a name of my own, it needs to look like a big city. For a while, the city began to become empty, and more and more uninhabited houses in the city were demolished to build the city wall. So only ten days later, there was an extra city with a length of six or seven miles outside of Shicheng. From a distance, there was a trace of majesty and the embryonic form of a big city.

The movement here in Sicheng naturally attracted the attention of other surrounding forces. Especially the nearby Tatar subdivision. Originally Sicheng belonged to them. Now it is occupied. The five thousand civilians sent to fetch water were also snatched away. The thousand cavalry sent out also died two hundred. Ride around.

This is already a hatred, the kind of hatred I have to report.

Not only the Tatar army, but also Hararuo from the Wara Tribe who suffered a loss in the hands of Yang Chendong. He also sent scouts to inquire about their news after the defeat. The movement here in Sicheng was big enough, of course, it also attracted their attention. For a while, there was some be eager to have a try.

Apart from this, as well as the Mongolian branch of Mobei.

Sude Khan suffered a big loss in the hands of Yang Chendong, and when he returned to the tribe, he also received some criticisms, which made him feel dull on his face. It was at this time that the scout sent back news that they had found the Five Star Army that had caused them a loss, and they were building Sicheng. But at the same time, another piece of news came along, that is, the Five Star Army is actually a mercenary. Their leader is the Great Ming War God, Great Ming Duke of Zhongdan Yang, who defeated the leader of Wara with less victory and more. Chendong.

Five Star Army is a mercenary, and the army that builds Sicheng is a mercenary.

When the news was deliberately released by Yang Chendong, it quickly shocked the area, and some of the forces that had begun to stir had to suppress the idea of ​​doing something. Decided to take a look.

Who first? Presumably no one on the grassland is unclear.

Three years ago, in the civil engineering changes, this person defeated the main force of Great Ming hundreds of thousands with less victory, and almost broke the capital of the Great Ming Dynasty. What kind of scenery was that?

But he was such a powerful man with a strong cavalry team, and he was finally defeated by a Han scholar who was just in his early twenties, and he also got a better reputation after the war. The nickname-War God.
