Chapter 209 Go. Mongolia
Liu Dazhuang received a letter from Liu Xia, which said that Liu Dazhuang should deliver his more than 1,000 horses to Zhang Yang. At this time, Zhang Yang had already led 3,000 people to the headquarters of Xi'an, Shaanxi.
Standing beside Liu Dazhuang stood Zhang Yang, who came to ask for horses, as well as Li Ke, the deputy commander of the Xiong Division Brigade, the deputy commander of the Lion Regiment of the Xiong Division Brigade, and the head of other regiments. Li Ke looked a little anxious and said, "Chief, this horse can't be given to them!" If the horses are given to them, our lion regiment will not be a cavalry regiment, but a cavalry battalion. The combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!" Although Zhang Yang saved Li Ke last time, in the face of the scarce resources such as war horses, Li Ke was not willing to give up.
Liu Dazhuang was also very embarrassed at this time. With Liu Xia's order, he had to obey it, but after all, this war horse was a scarce material. He gave Zhang Yang 1,000 war horses less than 1,000. At present, the number of horses in his brigade is only 3,000. Moreover, Liu Dazhuang also has to take into account the thoughts of his soldiers and generals. He can't do such a big thing.
How could Zhang Yang not know the thoughts of Liu Dazhuang and others? He said, "Brother Liu, don't be so stingy. Well, the little brother will return twice as many war horses." After listening to this, Liu Dazhuang pretended to meditate and said for a moment, "In this case, I'll give you a thousand war horses, but you have to remember to return it twice!" Liu Dazhuang followed Zhang Yang's words. After all, Liu Xia gave an order that he had to give it, but if it was so easy to give, his generals would have opinions. Therefore, Zhang Yang gave him a step down, and Liu Dazhuang naturally followed him.
"Conductor!" Li Ke shouted hurriedly that now Li Ke is the head of the lion group, which is related to his most basic interests. Liu Dazhuang frowned and said, "Xiao Yang also said that he would return it twice, that's it. Li Ke, you can search the war horse in the nearby city. If you find it, buy it at a high price to fill the gap of the lion group.
Zhang Yang was naturally very happy to get a thousand war horses. He quickly bowed to Liu Dazhuang and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu. I'm going to get the horses now. Then immediately go to the Mongolian grassland.
"Mongolian Grassland?" Liu Dazhuang was a little surprised and looked up at Zhang Yang. Seeing Zhang Yang's serious face, he didn't seem to be lying. He said, "Mobei is now the territory of the Mongolians, and now the Mongolians have formed an alliance with the Manchus. If you go to Mongolia, you will be attacked by the Mongolians and the Manchus." Zhang Yang said, "Xiao Yang knows that Xiao Yang is going to cross the Mongolian grassland and defeat those Mongolians and Manchu people."
"That's very dangerous!" Liu Dazhuang scolded slightly.
Zhang Yang also nodded and said, "Xiaoyang knows the danger. The Mongolian grassland is endless. Even during the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it took a lot of effort to figure out the geography of Mongolia. However, please ask Brother Liu to believe that Xiaoyang, Xiaoyang will definitely break through Mongolia! Brother Liu, Xiaoyang left first, and now he will go to get the war horse and go to Mongolia!" Zhang Yang saw what else Liu Dazhuang had to say, so he hurriedly said goodbye. After saying that, Zhang Yang quickly walked out of the room, afraid that Liu Dazhuang would intercept him.
Liu Dazhuang frowned and said, "That pen and paper!"
Li Ke asked, "command, why do you want paper and pen?" Liu Dazhuang said, "Write to Yu Mingjun to see if he knows about Zhang Yang's going to Mongolia. Alas, this child is disobedient when he grows up."
"I'm going to get the paper and pen."
After Zhang Yang hurriedly left Liu Dazhuang's place, he quickly went to the place where the male master brigade fed the horses. At this time, thousands of men led by Zhang Yang also followed. A young soldier said, "Sir, did they really give us a horse?" The 3,000 soldiers selected by Zhang Yang are generally under the age of 20, which can be described as a Boy Scout, and because they are similar in age to Zhang Yang, it is easy to accept Zhang Yang as a commander. Because these three thousand people are new recruits, and no veterans have come to serve as the generals, the officers at all levels of the three thousand are now holding an agent sign.
For example, this Yang's 3,000 guards are divided into four battalions and a brigade, one of which is a light cavalry battalion, a musket battalion, a archer battalion, a light infantry battalion, and the brigade is a personal guard brigade. Among them, the battalion commander becomes the acting battalion commander, the captain becomes the acting captain, and the squadron captain becomes the acting squadron captain. Because these soldiers have not been to the battlefield, naturally there is no military merit, and it is naturally impossible to award the rank without military merit. That is to say, only Zhang Yang has the rank in the army of 3,000 people. At present, Zhang Yang's military rank is Yang Yong School.
Zhang Yang walked happily and shouted, "That's right, it must be given. Let's go, brothers, let's take the horse. After we have a war horse, we will equip the war horse to the cavalry battalion. The other brothers will be wronged for the time being. After we have captured a large number of war horses in the Mongolian grassland, we will equip each of you with a war horse. Let's go!"
After saying that, the scouts followed Zhang Yang to lead the horses, and the personnel who fed the horses also received orders from Liu Dazhuang, so they did not stop them. In the afternoon, Zhang Yang took away a thousand war horses. In addition to the 700 war horses that were given to the cavalry battalion, the remaining 300 horses were given to the guard brigade, and the rest of the horses were given to the temporary officers.
"Drive, drive, drive~~"
Zhang Yang led three thousand warriors, each of whom carried food, grass and water for five days, and began to march to the Mongolian grassland. For the Mongols and Manchus, Zhang Yang has been eager to eat their meat and drink their blood since he was a child. Zhang Yang has listened to the storytelling since he was a child, saying that the Mongols slaughtered a large number of Han people, and even listed the Han people as a fourth-class donkey. They can rape women and kill Han men at will. This made Zhang Yang very angry. Before Zhang Yang grew up, the northern tars invaded the Central Plains again. Isn't this a repeat of the Mongolian invasion? Zhang Yang was even more angry, so Zhang Yang had been thinking about entering the Mongolian grassland. The reason why he chose to enter the Mongolian grassland is not that Liu Xia has not decided to attack the Qing army, so Zhang Yang can only enter the Mongolian plateau first, and then enter the northeast from the Mongolian plateau.
"Brothers! Do you want to kill the people? Get away from the war!"
"Think!"
"Brothers, look at the things on your shoulders. It's just a crutch. Do you want to change into a dazzling Venus?"
"Oh~~"
"Think!"
"Then the brothers will kill the sari from me! Let's go!"
Among the 3,000 armies, the most eager for combat achievements is those acting battalion commanders and acting captains, because they are just agents now. If there are not enough combat achievements, it is still temporary. Although it is also a battalion commander, the treatment is not so good. Their The treatment is still linked to the military rank, that is, the treatment of new recruits. And if the combat achievements of new recruits exceed them, then the position of battalion commander and captain will be given to others.
"Kill!!!"
"Driving"
"Run, keep up, keep up, listen carefully. You are just new recruits now and don't have any combat experience. I don't think we have seen dead people, let alone killed people. Therefore, I'm not afraid of war now. If you have seen the cruelty of war, I think some of you will definitely cry. And there will be a lot of brothers who will close their eyes forever!"
Zhang Yang's words immediately silenced the whole team, but these people knew in their hearts that from the moment they chose to sign up for the army, they would die in battle, so most of them had prepared horse leather shroud.
"Chief, we are all psychologically prepared, and it's not a big deal. People die and birds face the sky, and they don't die for thousands of years. Even if we die in battle, our family will not worry about not being able to live. The command makes us able to do it!"
"We can do it!" The soldiers who came forward in an instant shouted in unison.
Zhang Yang smiled on his childish face and said, "Good job, brothers!"
"Oh~~"
After listening to Zhang Yang's appreciation, the soldiers shouted happily, like a group of hungry wolves, and the food was the Mongolian grassland!
Zhang Yang's march is very fast. These recruits have been trained in the new barracks for at least three months, and their physical fitness has increased a lot. This kind of running can still be supported, because Zhang Yang is not heavy, so there is no need to worry about the rear.
