When Zhenjiang Fort captured Zu Zehong, Zu Dashou's son, Jiang Wan had considered facing Zu Dashou himself.
In his eyes, the greatest value of Zu Dashou was not the head on his head, but the Guan Ning Cavalry that he took with him and invested in Hou Jin.
Zhenjiang Fort is short of cavalry, very short of cavalry.
Of course, after these Guanning cavalry were surrendered to Houjin, Houjin would definitely break them up and reorganize them. The difference between Houjin and Zhenjiang Fort is that they really don’t lack much cavalry, but they lack it.
They are infantry who are good with firearms and good at defending the city.
From this point of view, Zu Dashou may serve as an example for the generals who will be demoted. The Houjin's trick of buying horse bones for thousands of gold will be treated well and even reused by them, but the same may not be true for the Guan Ning cavalry who invested thousands of dollars.
And these people will most likely not dare to return to the Ming Dynasty.
However, if Zu Dashou uses his appeal to summon them, this matter can be expected. According to Zu Dashou's practice of using Guan Ning's cavalry as the main defense force of Dalinghe City, Jin Guan followed Zu Dashou's surrender.
Ning Tieqi still has at least four to five thousand people, and Jiang Wan is not greedy. If only half of these four to five thousand people can come back, he will be satisfied.
Having made up for the shortcomings of the cavalry, the troop configuration of Zhenjiang Fort is basically the same as the configuration of the three major battalions. When engaging in battle, the artillery bombards, the cavalry charges, and the infantry pushes. With these three axes, the combat power is significant.
It has to be greatly improved. At least, when the infantry advances like before, the chance of the enemy's light cavalry unscrupulously sending arrows to the heads of the infantry phalanx will be greatly reduced.
He did not believe at all that Zu Dashou took these dozen of followers and a group of unworthy Korean fire rifle soldiers to defect in front of the formation. If this was the case, it would be a shame for Zu Dashou to die.
"My ancestor Dashou is here, so Guan Ning's cavalry will naturally be here!"
Zu Dashou said proudly: "Otherwise, how could my ancestor Dashou stand up?"
"Bring Guan Ning Cavalry over here. You are the commander-in-chief of our Zhenjiang Fort Cavalry Battalion. Jiang personally wrote to His Majesty to intercede for you and allow you to perform meritorious service for your crime!" Jiang Wan said: "As for other people shouting and killing your ancestor, you must first
After passing my level, and if you really take charge of my Zhenjiang Fort Cavalry Battalion, I think you probably won't care about the barking of those incompetent people!"
"Of course I don't care. I don't plan to enter the prison again in this life!" Zu Dashou snorted and his expression softened.
Jiang Wan waited quietly for him to think about it. He had already revealed his trump card, and now it was up to him to see if the other party knew what he was interested in.
"Zu Zehong should still be alive, right?" Zu Dashou asked slowly after thinking for a moment.
"Your son is well fed and housed in our Zhenjiang Fort. Not only has he not been wronged, he has also gained a few pounds!" Jiang Wan nodded: "Since I am thinking about my cavalry battalion, of course I will not kill your son. Even
The one your son wanted to protect was even me, and I didn’t touch him!"
"I only care about my son, I don't care about other people!" Zu Dashou said: "I want to see him!"
Jiang Wan looked at the other party without speaking, waiting for the other party's explanation.
"The Guan Ning cavalry soldiers who were brought back to Shengjing must not be able to follow me. The Jin people saw that they were watching too closely. Moreover, most of them had been dispersed and consolidated into the various armies of the Han army. It was almost impossible to gather them.
possible!"
Jiang Wan nodded, this was the truth. If Zu Dashou could bring this cavalry directly from Shengjing, he would suspect that Zu Dashou was going to fake surrender again.
Huang Taiji's family has a great business and can withstand the hardships of his ancestors, but his small fortune in Dongjiang Town cannot withstand such hardships.
"However, there are still more than a thousand Guan Ning cavalry in the Chahar tribe of Mongolia. These people and other surrendered soldiers are organized into a Jia La and stationed in the Chahar tribe. As long as these people receive my order, no matter what
No matter where they go, they will never look back!”
"So, Zu Zehong is the one who is going to convey your order. No matter who goes, your biological son is the most trustworthy for this kind of thing!" Jiang Wan nodded: "It seems that I did not kill your son.
, it also has the advantage of not killing your son!"
"I think you can't let me go to Chahar!" Zu Dashou smiled: "Then I can only let my son go. If he moves fast enough, he may be able to catch up with you.
The soldiers and horses attack Malanyu!"
"Go and ask General Xiao Zu to come over!" Jiang Wan ordered outside.
After a while, Zu Zehong, who was originally imprisoned in T-zibao, was brought in. The two father and son met and saw that the other party was well, and they were both slightly excited.
"You must have a lot to say, so I won't interrupt you!"
Jiang Wan withdrew with Gaoxing Sheng, leaving the space in the room for the father and son. The two of them did not go far, so they stood in the yard, waiting for the two people in the room to finish talking.
"How trustworthy are Zu Dashou's words?" Jiang Wan asked Xing Sheng gently.
"I'm afraid not even half of it!" Gao Xingsheng shook his head: "However, this man got a chance in Malanyu and switched sides without hesitation in front of the battle. He is a decisive person, but the commander-in-chief was surrounded by him that day, and he attacked our army.
He showed no mercy at all. I don’t think this person can be trusted, he is too dangerous!”
"There are more than a thousand Guan Ning cavalry!" Jiang Wan sighed, "Using these more than a thousand people as the skeleton, we will then add manpower from our Dongjiang Town to slowly build up this cavalry battalion. When this cavalry battalion, our cavalry battalion will
People make up the majority, but his ancestor, Dashou, is so capricious that I’m afraid he won’t be able to move the people anymore.”
"He is a loner. No matter how dangerous he is, he is just a common man. There is nothing to worry about!"
"The commander-in-chief has already considered it in his mind!" Gao Xingsheng smiled happily: "It made my subordinates secretly worry for a long time, for fear that the commander-in-chief would be deceived by him!"
"It doesn't matter to us. Let his son go to the Chahar tribe to instigate rebellion. If he comes back with his troops, everything will be fine. If he never comes back, the only thing his ancestor is worth most is the head on his head.
, he thinks he knows more about what will happen then than I do!"
After a moment of burning incense, the father and son in the room finished talking, and Jiang Wanshi walked in.
"Is everything agreed?"
"As agreed, I can set off at any time!" Zu Zehong said calmly: "If the horsepower is enough and there is no delay on the way, I can come back within a month at the latest!"
"One month!"
Jiang Wan slowly chewed on this deadline and looked at Zu Dashou with a look full of teasing inquiry.
"Let my people go with him. Just prepare dry food for their horses and your identity in Dongjiang Town for them!" Zu Dashou replied seriously: "I will stay in Zhenjiang Fort and wait for them to come back with their people!"
"Bring men and horses!" Jiang Wan emphasized the pronunciation of the word "horse" heavily, "I have many infantry in Dongjiang Town. Cavalry without horses can only be infantry. For more than a thousand infantry, I will
No need to put in so much effort!”
Zu Dashou and his son nodded heavily, and Jiang Wan laughed.
