Chapter 41 A cross-era army, the Shenji Battalion!

Are you excited?

Nonsense, only fools won’t be tempted!

Shenji Camp!

Those are the three major battalions alongside the 3,000 battalions of the Fifth Army Camp.

Although there are not as many as the first two in terms of number, they are still the best among the best in the Ming army.

This army has been at its peak since the day it was created.

During the Yongle Dynasty, this army was present in all wars.

During the Peking Defense War, under the command of Yu Qian, this army withstood most of the pressure and preserved the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

According to Zhu Zhangui’s understanding.

The current Shenji Camp has a formal establishment of more than 5,000 people.

1,000 cavalry, 400 artillery, and 3,600 infantry.

It is equipped with 3,600 infantry muskets and 160 light and heavy general cannons.

It is compiled as follows.

Camp → Chong → Heng → Take → Car.

There are 3,200 men in a battalion, 800 men per charge, 400 men per weighing, 100 men per carriage, and ten men per cart.

There are a total of 128 tanks and 1,600 two-charge warriors (reserve).

If the reserves and civilians are fully equipped during wartime, the number will be nearly 20,000.

The main reason why King Zhu Gaoxu of Han could not lose the battle against the prince for so many years was that he controlled 3,000 battalions and had military backing behind him.

On Prince Zhu Pangpang's side, although the civil service power was very strong, he never controlled the army from the beginning to the end. The only one who could be regarded as an army was Prince Liuli.

However, the Sixth Prince's command mainly focuses on ceremonial guards, and its combat effectiveness is really debatable.

Zhu Zhangui has a quota of 3,000 guards, plus 2,000 so-called civilian men, which is no less than the number of people in the Shenji Camp.

But this thing cannot be calculated based on the number of people.

The Shenji Battalion was a regular army, and the guards under Zhu Zhangui were, to put it bluntly, a miscellaneous army, not even as good as a local guard station.

If the two sides go to war at the same time, and the Shenji Battalion has achieved military exploits, the soldiers can be promoted and rewarded.

As for Zhu Zhangui, the most he could receive was some monetary rewards and verbal praise. As for promotions, he didn't even think about it.

Because the nature of the two is different, one Ministry of War has records and the other does not.

If Zhu Zhangui owned the Shenji Camp, his status in the eyes of the court's civil and military officials would skyrocket.

It can also make up for the shortcomings of the East Palace and the military.

Therefore, the benefits brought to Zhu Zhangui by taking over Shenji Camp are definitely not the slightest.

Zhu Zhangui knew that this old guy was probably deceiving him, but the offer was too much and he couldn't bear it!

The bait was so tempting that Zhu Zhangui didn't want to bite the hook, but he still approached it honestly.

"hehe!"

Seeing Zhu Zhangui coming over, the old man was no longer anxious. He was half lying on the ground, stroking his beard with his hand, and looked at Zhu Zhangui jokingly.

Zhu Zhangui didn't care about the old man's eyes, he came to the old man's side with a smile on his face, and gently beat his shoulders.

"You just said you would give me the Shenji Camp."

The old man, who was enjoying himself with his eyes narrowed, glanced at Zhu Zhangui and said, "Didn't you just want to leave? Go ahead, I won't stop you."

The smile on Zhu Zhangui's face became even brighter. After massaging the old man's shoulders, he ran to the front and started beating the old man's legs.

"Just now I remembered an urgent matter, but after thinking about it later, I realized that it was not urgent."

"Hahaha, you little devil."

Zhu Di laughed so much that he reached out and rubbed Zhu Zhangui's head.

"Okay little boy, no need to flatter me."

"I can give you the Shenji Camp temporarily."

Zhu Zhangui's face collapsed, "What, it's temporary. Since it's temporary, you'd better find someone else!"

Temporarily, how can that be done?

This thing is only temporary if it lasts for one or two days, and it is temporary if it lasts for one or two years.

If you are stupid enough to be fooled and fix the Shenji camp on the front foot, and the old man on the back foot says that your time has expired, then who can he, Zhu Zhangui, talk to to reason with you?

So no matter what, he must figure out how long this temporary period will last.

"Baby... Shenji Camp is my heart and soul. I leave it all to you. If you can destroy it for me, how can I go out to fight in the future?"

Zhu Zhangui sniffed and looked at the old man.

"You have to give me a deadline. I don't know for the time being."

"What if I have prepared the Shenji Camp training equipment with my front legs, but you take away my back legs, where will I cry?"

Hearing this, the old man touched his beard on his chin.

This little brat is just like me. He is a master who refuses to let go of rabbits. If he doesn't give an explanation, he probably won't help.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di reached out and patted Zhu Zhangui on the shoulder.

"Well, this period will end with the end of the Northern Expedition."

"If you can lead the Shenji Battalion on the battlefield and make contributions that I am satisfied with, then the entire Shenji Battalion will be managed by you from now on. If you can't do what I want, then I will take back the Shenji Battalion.

camp."

Zhu Zhangui's eyes lit up at first, and then he shook his head.

"No, you have to explain clearly to me, what do you mean by credit that you are satisfied with?"

"If you don't explain it clearly to me, even if I destroy the Tatars, if you say you are dissatisfied, I will have no place to reason with you."

"Haha, you brat, you are the only one who wants to destroy the Tatars."

Smiling and kicking Zhu Zhangui, the old man pondered for a moment and said: "In this battle, the Shenji Battalion will still be at the forefront to resist the enemy's cavalry attack."

"As long as you can block the enemy's cavalry attack and kill more than 1,000 enemies, Shenji Camp will be completely under your control from now on."

Kill 1,000 enemies.

Hearing this number, Zhu Zhangui was a little embarrassed.

Ancient Chinese wars often involved tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.

In fact, real soldiers are not even 1/5 or even 1/6.

The battlefield is so big, and the Shenji Battalion can come into contact with more than 5,000 enemies, which is already a large number.

Moreover, ancient armors are not like the ones shown in TV series that look like paper.

Except for a few unlucky ones who were hit in their weak points and killed with one blow.

His body was covered with arrows, and he could be seen running around on the battlefield like a hedgehog.

After a large-scale war, thousands of people died on both sides, which is already a huge number.

The real reasons for the large number of casualties are late-stage injuries and infections, as well as problems such as illness and hunger.

Moreover, according to Zhu Zhangui's memory, during Zhu Di's Northern Expedition, although he defeated Mahamu at Hulan Huchiwen, the number of enemies killed in the entire war was only a few thousand.

Zhu Zhangui wanted to kill more than a thousand enemies in this Northern Expedition, unless he defeated the enemy at the first opportunity and then beat him up.

Otherwise, once the enemy reacts, they can just rely on the Shenji battalion to pull heavy artillery and chase the Walas who are all cavalry, without even thinking about it.

"Why, it can't be done?"

Seeing Zhu Zhangui's hesitation, the old man raised his eyebrows.

This doesn't look like this guy's character.

Although it is difficult to kill 1,000 enemies, it is not impossible.

As long as the plan is good and there are no problems with combat command, it will be no problem to kill 1,000 enemies.

"No, I was just thinking, grandpa, what kind of reward will you give me if I kill more?"

Zhu Zhangui will naturally not give in. Opportunities are won by people.

If you miss this opportunity to control the army, you won't know whether it will be the year of the monkey or the month of the horse next time.

Regardless of whether he can meet Zhu Di's requirements on the battlefield in the future, Zhu Zhangui will never let go of this opportunity to control the army.
