Chapter 1158

Appropriate, but do not understand, this sentence itself is somewhat contradictory. These words of Bai Shuang also attracted everyone's attention. Considering that he didn't make it clear, Bai Shuang told Zhao Xing in detail after a bitter smile.

"Zhao Xing? I know this man. He escorted grain and grass to the left guard city of Jianzhou. Because it was related to logistics, I went to have a look and still had a deep impression on this man." waiting for Bai Shuang's words, Yang Er standing on the side of Yang Chendong opened his mouth.

"Did he really escort the grain and grass back?" asked the flash in his white eyes.

"That's right." Yang Er smiled and continued: "He not only brought back all the food and grass, but also brought 2108 soldiers. According to him, he had a total of 2200 soldiers, of which 92 escaped for some reasons, and most of the others came with him to surrender. Oh, by the way, when I went, his soldiers were arranged neatly, that is, even the weapons in his hands were placed in a very neat place Together. To tell you the truth, it's really the first time I've met someone who surrendered like this. "

These words made other officers could not help nodding. They had not seen people who surrendered before, but most of them were disheveled and listless, with no hope in life. Weapons were thrown in a mess everywhere. Why is there such a time to save worry, trouble and effort.

Hearing this, even Yang Chendong couldn't help but be curious, "is there such a wonderful person? Come on, bring him to see."

"I'll go." Yang Er promised.

"I'll go with my second brother." Bai Shuang thought for a moment, and then stepped out and said. He was very optimistic about Zhao Xing. Even though the teacher wanted to see him, he wanted to say something to remind him.

They walked out of the main hall together. Yang Chendong looked at the people left, and his eyes fell on Tian Hu, the first division commander of the cavalry in the world. "Mr. Tian, how does this battle feel?"

"Fun." Tian Hu said without thinking. In this battle, the cavalry of their four regiments killed and captured twice the enemy. The most important thing is that there were almost no major casualties on their own side, and the number of dead and wounded did not exceed 100. This comparison of death and injury made him very relieved. But he immediately remembered that he had almost been attacked, and thought of more than a dozen reconnaissance cavalry in the fourth land division Under the siege of and black riding, no one escaped back, and his face was red again.

Tian Hu's face suddenly turned red, which made Yang Chendong want to tell him to press back. Sometimes it's OK to give some pressure properly, but if the pressure is too great, it may cause overburden and eventually collapse. The first Cavalry Division in the world is a sharp weapon in his hand, so he naturally didn't think of any problems.

This time, Yang Chendong didn't want to remind him of Tian Hu's name, but considering the current situation, he wanted to expand the scale of the first Cavalry Division in the world.

On the grassland, there is a powerful northern Ming army, named Liaodong iron cavalry. It is said that it has extraordinary strength and a large number of people, which has expanded from 50000 before to 70000 now. Facing the elite cavalry troops who come and go like the wind, if you want to deal with them, you can keep your guns and not attack them, Yang Chendong decided to fight the first Cavalry Division in the world, riding against each other and quickly Come on, don't say you can beat him, at least you can suppress the threat he brings to yourself.

Looking at the first Cavalry Division in the world, we do have the qualification and strength to be any opponent. The only difference is that the number of troops is too small, only 10000 people. Against seven times the enemy, even if it is powerful, it will not make any money. It is inevitable to expand the number of cavalry divisions in the world.

According to Yang Chendong's original intention, he wanted to expand the division into an army, but considering that without a suitable source of troops, such a move is likely to reduce the combat effectiveness, so he wondered whether to expand it in a small range first. For example, each regiment expanded from the original 2000 to 4000, so that it will not reduce the combat effectiveness too much, but also increase the number of people. When it is critical Waiting can play more role.

With this idea in mind, Yang Chendong looked at Tian Hu and took the initiative, "Mr. Tian, if you choose these captured soldiers first, do you have the confidence to double the current number of troops without affecting your combat effectiveness?"

"Hmm?" Tian Hu was ready to be reprimanded by Yang Chendong. After all, he was careless. He only arranged a famous sentry in terms of reconnaissance cavalry, but not a secret sentry. Thanks to Yang Chendong's coming to test him this time, if it was an enemy, the consequences would be almost unimaginable.

When he made a mistake, he had to fight the board. Tian Hu didn't feel proud because he made many war achievements. Unexpectedly, Yang Chendong didn't say that. Instead, he wanted to expand his army. His eyes lit up.

As the opponent became stronger and stronger, especially in the northern Ming Dynasty, the number of troops could easily come up with millions of powerful forces. He already felt that the lack of troops had become the biggest obstacle restricting his performance. Not last time, he wanted to put forward this requirement to Yang Chendong, but considering that the first Cavalry Division in the world was well equipped and had high training intensity, once expanded, he was afraid that every You have to pay a large amount of silver in June. It has accumulated year after year, but there is a lot of silver.

It's very important. Tian Hu repressed his thoughts and didn't open his mouth to mention it. Unexpectedly, Yang Chendong took the initiative to put forward such an opportunity. Where would he miss it? The next step is to walk out of the queue. "Teacher, students have thought about this problem for a long time. As long as they are carefully selected and cooperate with new and veteran soldiers, their combat effectiveness should not decline, and they can certainly be improved."

After all, with more troops and greater momentum, it will give the enemy greater deterrence and strike power.

"Well, you are so confident that the matter is settled. At least how many people to expand, it's best to double the current force. Of course, if there are not so many suitable sources of troops, we can't force it. This time we want a strong army, not the quantity. As for the amount of silver, you can talk to Yang Er later and let him give it to you." What Yang Chendong wants is Tian Hu. The executors have such confidence. What else can he worry about.

This time, he decided to increase the strength of the first Cavalry Division in the world, also because the other party's performance was very satisfactory to him, and his exploratory move confirmed his idea. The number of such troops should be more in order to give better play to their strength.

As for the problem of silver, it's really not a big problem. Not to mention anything else, the gold and silver mines found in Japan are enough to solve the financial pressure of the Yang system. Not to mention that many forces in Southeast Asia now belong to the Yang family, so that they can sell more products. Many non core things are directly exported to other continents by sea, bringing countless silver.

An army, a force, or a country cannot do anything without money. Yang Chendong, who has known this for a long time, has not relaxed his work in this field. Now it seems that the effect is still very significant, which is also the foundation and confidence for him to fight in all directions.

"Thank you, teacher. The students will do it in a minute." Tian Hu said excitedly. If Yang Chendong wasn't presiding over the meeting now, I'm afraid he would go to catch it now.

While talking, footsteps came from outside the hall. Yang Er, Bai Shuang and Zhao Xing walked into the main hall. Then the first two people saluted and stood at attention. Only Zhao Xing knelt down on his knees and shouted to Yang Chendong for a thousand years.

"Get up." Yang Chendong looked at Zhao Xing, who was seven feet tall, and said calmly.

"Thank you, southern king of Wu." after Zhao Xingyan, he got up and slowly raised his head. Yang Chendong's appearance came into his eyes.

"I've heard about you. Naturally, I welcome you to surrender to our five-star army. The food and grass are escorted by you, but I don't know what you want to do with them?" it's not urgent. It seems like asking for advice or taking an examination of the school.

"Me?" Zhao Xing pointed out his right index finger to himself, and then asked carefully, "I'm just a general. How can I be qualified to talk about such a thing?"

"Hey, let you say it." Bai Shuang saw that this was the teacher's exploratory move, so he whispered to one side.

For Bai Shuang, Zhao Xing's seal image is also very good. It's like he came all the way just now. This person reminded himself a lot. For example, don't be too afraid to see King Wu Nan. On the contrary, if you have the opportunity to show your ideas, only when the seal image is profound can you get reuse, etc.

Now Bai Shuang immediately reminded himself that Zhao Xing decided to put forward his ideas and said: "The king of Wunan gave the general a chance, and the general will tell you about it. Chen dura robbed all these grain and grass in the way of secondary grain collection, and even killed people in the process, which made the surrounding people complain. If possible, can you share some of these grain and grass with the people? To tell the truth, their life is too hard, and they are here originally It is a bitter and cold place. The winter is so long that the crops grow very slowly. They pay much more than others to get these food. "

Zhao Xing explained in great detail what he had learned. He was originally a child of a military family in the northern Ming Dynasty. From the moment he was born, his fate could not be changed. However, he was not a person who accepted his destiny, but he actively faced it after knowing that everything was irreversible. He practiced martial arts since childhood, regardless of heat and cold winter. He would go to some nearby places when he had time Listen to the gentlemen in our private school.
