Chapter 435 is the cavalry of the Ming people
Looking at Cao Dazhong who showed a embarrassed smile in front of him, Yang Feng's smile slowly faded. He asked meaningfully: "Why, the emperor asked you to be a military supervisor in the Jiangning Army? Is this what Your Majesty mean or did you come up with the idea?"
Seeing that Yang Feng was showing signs of turning against each other, Cao Dazhong felt nervous and said quickly: "The conscience of heaven and earth, Marquis, this is not the idea of our family, but the rule passed down since the Chengzu period. The reason why Your Majesty did not send military supervisors in the Jiangning Army in the past was because the Jiangning Army at that time was very different from the Jiangning Army at that time. Marquis, you must also understand the difficulties of our family!"
"Hey!"
Yang Feng snorted and stopped talking, but then he thought that the habit of sending military supervisors to the army in the Ming Dynasty had been around since the time of Chengzu and Zhu Di. It was not Zhu Youxiao who deliberately targeted him. With the Jiangning Army's reputation today, Zhu Youxiao was able to endure it until now that he sent military supervisors.
Looking at Yang Feng who was a little shady and unstable, Cao Dazhong felt a little emotional. Two years ago, Yang Feng was just a businessman who had just come to Daming to do business from Nanyang, and he didn't even have the qualification to talk to him. He relied on the gift he gave him to become a thousand households in Jiangdongmen Qianhu. After more than two years of hard work, this guy has now reached the qualification that he can look up to. No wonder the old saying goes, thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, don't bully the young man to be poor!
As time passed, Cao Dazhong was getting nervous. What he feared most was that Yang Feng suddenly lost his temper and drove him out. If he couldn't complete the task, he might be in a dark future.
However, the thing that Cao Dazhong feared the most did not come. Yang Feng pondered for a while before nodding, "Since the emperor sent you to be a military supervisor, then you can do it, but we have to make an agreement in advance that you have the right to supervise and patrol in the Jiangning Army. You can watch, listen or ask, but you must not interfere with the military operations and other operations of the Jiangning Army. Otherwise, if the actions and operations of the army are affected by you, then I can only ask you to go back and forth. Can you do it?"
Hearing that Yang Feng finally agreed to let him stay, Cao Dazhong was overjoyed and nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, the Marquis came here with only one pair of eyes and one pair of ears this time. Just think that you have an extra person to eat. Our family will not interfere in other matters."
"That's good!"
Yang Feng nodded, and the matter was settled.
This large army operation was different from the past. In the past, the Jiangning Army had to use troops against the Qing Dynasty by land, but since Yang Feng's Fujian Navy first took shape, Yang Feng had another idea.
Today, the Fujian Navy has the first, second and two fleets, with a total of more than 100 ships of all sizes and sizes. Although the only warships that can be called Qingyuan, Ningyuan, Liaoyuan, and three sixth-class warships that have just been launched and two captured Dutch warships have a total of eight warships.
However, the Second Fleet has hundreds of large and large ships, including the Dafu Ship. These ships may not be used for combat, but they are not a problem at all for transporting people and cargo. After calculations by Yang Feng, Lu Guangbiao and others, if all these ships are dispatched, they can transport 20,000 troops at one time.
Moreover, compared with land, the advantages of sea transportation are more obvious. If the past experience is based on previous experience, if 20,000 Jiangning troops rushed from Nanjing to Liaodong, there would be no one or even one and a half months, but if transported from sea, the time can be shortened to one week or even shorter, which is the advantage of sea transportation.
During this northern expedition, Yang Feng did not use his troops in Fujian, but directly mobilized the troops from Nanjing. On the fifth day of August, when Yang Feng appeared on the Qiantang River with more than 100 ships of all sizes, Geng Bingyi had already led the 20,000 Jiangning Army, which had been unable to find by the Qing Dynasty spies everywhere, for a long time.
After meeting, the two sides had no time to reminisce about the past, Yang Feng waved his hand and asked the soldiers to start boarding the boat. After a few hours, more than 100 ships left the Qiantang River and headed towards the north...
On the deck of the Qingyuan, Yang Feng and Liu Xi and more than a dozen Jiangning military officers looked at the sea view in the distance. Looking at the beautiful sunset that had already set in the west, Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh: "The sea view of this sea is really beautiful, as charming as a girl in the Jiangnan water town. No wonder so many people like the sea."
After hearing this, Liu Xiang smiled sweetly: "The Marquis only knows one thing but not the other. The sea is indeed like a charming woman when the waves are calm, but once it gets angry, it will be like the world is destroyed. Since ancient times, there have been countless ships buried at the bottom of the sea, so the Marquis should not be deceived by the scene in front of him."
The Jiangning Army officer behind him frowned when he heard Liu Xiang refuting Yang Feng's words like this. Yang Feng was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then laughed: "Deputy Admiral Liu is right, so the sea is like a moody child. Whether it is happiness, anger or calm, it has its unique charm, not to mention that it can bring unexpected wealth and hope to everyone. This may be the reason why so many people go out to sea one after another even though they know the danger of the sea."
Liu Xiang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this: "What the Marquis said is that although the sea is full of dangers, it can also bring great benefits to everyone. Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty has been banned from the sea for more than 200 years, the maritime trade has never stopped during this period. Although the Zhong Jiang followed the elders in his family to the sea, although he has experienced many dangers over the past ten years and lost many brothers during this period, he has never complained about it. This may be the charm of the sea."
Yang Feng couldn't help but look at Liu Xiang with praise. Only by going to sea for many years can Liu Xiang develop such a generous and generous temperament that she is as generous as she wants to die. In another time and space, she was forced to fight with Zheng Zhilong's army at sea with Zheng Zhilong's army. Although she was defeated in the end, under her desperate counterattack, she still held Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhihu with a fishing net and threw it into the sea and drowned it, and then committed suicide calmly. Such a person who can be cruel to himself and the enemy cannot be cultivated by the ladies who are raised in the boudoir.
Perhaps Yang Feng had been staying on Liu Xiang for too long. Liu Xiang, whose pretty face was slightly red, brushed his hands with his hair on his forehead and asked deliberately: "Mr. Marquis, do you want to include outside the pass into Liaodong this time?"
"Include the outside of the pass into the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop?" Yang Feng couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, "It's not easy to conquer the outside of the pass. It's necessary to spend more than tens of thousands of troops on their efforts. Moreover, it's a bitter and cold place outside of the pass, and it's not easy to station the army. If you want to completely include the outside of the pass into the Ming Dynasty, it requires the court's long-term and unremitting efforts and vigorous immigration. Otherwise, it's not possible to rely on military means alone."
Liu Xiang asked in confusion: "Why is the Marquis leading the army to expedition this time?"
Yang Feng smiled faintly: "Manchu originated from the white mountains and black waters. He is fierce and cruel by nature. Whether it is Nurhaci or Huang Taiji's ambitious people, the two of them are always thinking about how to invade the pass and take the Ming Dynasty and replace it. Once Manchu enters the pass, it will mean a huge disaster."
"Enter the gate?"
Hearing this, the navy and the officers of the Jiangning Army, including Liu Xiang, couldn't help laughing. In their opinion, this was simply a big joke. Even the tens of thousands of troops in Manchu wanted to subvert the Ming Dynasty. How could this be possible?
Seeing the people who were smiling so happily, Yang Feng sighed softly. If he had not come from another time and space, he would not have believed that a minority with only a few hundred thousand people outside the pass could replace the Ming Dynasty. But in fact, this happened like this. In the 276 years after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the backbone of the Han people was interrupted again. Countless Han people were forced to keep ugly money rat whips under the threat of leaving their heads without leaving their hair, so that they were called pig tails by later Westerners, which became a joke.
"But since I have come to this time and space, the Qing Dynasty's entry into the pass must not let it happen again. Huang Taiji... I'm here!" Yang Feng clenched his fists secretly.
After five days of bumpy sea, the fleet finally arrived at Lianyun Island, which is less than ten miles away from Gaizhou on August 13th.
At this time, Lianyun Island was not the famous tourist attraction in later generations. Now it is just a small island with few people. After the fleet was anchored on Lianyun Island, Yang Feng ordered the troops to go to the island for two days to rest so that the troops could restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Perhaps some people think that Yang Feng's order is a bit redundant. Since the troops have arrived at the destination, they should start fighting as soon as possible. Why do they still have to rest in a hurry? If the Tartars know that the arrival of the fleet will lose their suddenness and concealment?
In fact, Yang Feng had to do this. You must know that the Jiangning Army is a pure army. Tens of thousands of people were bumping on the sea for five or six days. Most of them were stunned. In their current state, let alone going ashore to fight, many people were unable to even walk steadily. How could they devote themselves to the combat state? So it has become the most urgent task to seize the time to rest.
However, although the troops need to rest, it does not mean that the army does nothing. At least one unit must land on the shore immediately, that is, the Jiangning Army's brigade does not take over at night.
After more than a year of development, under the leadership of Zhao Boss, the number of Yebu Suo team expanded to more than 1,500 people, and their training and equipment have also been enhanced. Moreover, through Yang Feng's cheap father-in-law, the Jiangning Army has obtained more than 30,000 high-quality war horses in the past year, which has also made one person and three horses a standard for Yebu Suo. This time, except for leaving 500 Yebu Suo in Fujian, Yang Feng brought all the rest of the people.
Other troops had to rest for two days, but Ye Busuke could not do so. After a short rest of two hours, Mr. Zhao led a thousand Ye Busuke to the black soil outside the pass.
Gaizhou, formerly known as Gaizhou Wei, was established in the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1371) and stationed more than 5,000 Ming troops. Unfortunately, it was occupied by the Qing Dynasty a few years ago and became a stronghold deployed by the Qing Dynasty in the southernmost direction. It also stationed a Niulu men all year round, with the purpose of preventing the attack of the Jiangdong Army on Pi Island.
Niulu, stationed in Gaizhou, belongs to the Inlaid Blue Flag. Niulu's name is Bomuboguoer. He is not tall but extremely strong and has a bad temper. He is like a typical Manchu.
Today, Bomubogour led more than 100 vest soldiers and infantry soldiers to patrol as usual, but Bomubogour today was a little absent-minded because he had just snatched a North Korean woman a few days ago. This fair-skinned North Korean woman was very fond of Bomubogour. These days, Bomubogour was almost attacked, and even had no intention of patrol. He just wanted to go back to drink with the North Korean woman after the patrol was over soon.
Bomubogore, who was riding on the horse, looked up at the sun above his head, feeling the scorching heat, and felt a little unhappy. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook it hard. Bomubogore cursed angrily: "This ghost place is so evil. It can freeze those words when it is cold, but it can roast people when it is hot. Next year, I will follow my head and ask for instructions to transfer it away from here and never come again."
A vest soldier next to him smiled when he saw this: "Don't worry, sir. It's Zhenghongqi's turn to stay here next year. Even if sir, sir, I'm afraid it won't work."
Bomubogour laughed, took off the hat on his head and wiped the sweat beads with his sleeves before saying, "But you can't say that the North Korean women here are really good. There are not less than a dozen North Korean women I have been with in the past six months. Moreover, the North Korean women are both tender and obedient, which is much more fun than the rough girls in our crowds."
Someone around me said with a slight interest: "My sir, can you not wait until you go back a few months and bring back a army of women. Be careful that your sister-in-law will knock over the jealous jar of the family when she knows it!"
"Hahaha……"
The cavalrymen next to them all laughed. The woman in Bomubogore's family was a famous shrew in the flag. She was not only strong but also strong. It is said that before she got married, she never needed help from killing pigs at home. She could be rounded alone. This shows how powerful this woman was. After marrying Bomubogore, she did not change her tough nature, and Bomubogore was controlled by her.
Hearing the laughter coming from around him, Bomubogore couldn't help but feel a little worried. He snorted lightly before saying, "I used to just give in to that woman. If she dares to jump around again after returning home this time, I will repair her hard to let her know how powerful I am."
After hearing what he said, the people around him laughed even harder.
"Pudding lump..."
Just as everyone was laughing, a faint sound of horse hooves came into everyone's ears. Bomubogore listened to it and said in confusion, "No, where did the brigade of cavalry come from nearby."
As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of dust were stirred up in the distance, and then a team of red cavalry rushed into everyone's sight.
Seeing the cavalry coming towards them on the opposite side, Bomubogore's face immediately changed, and then a shrill voice sounded.
Chapter completed!
