558, formation of cavalry corps and infantry division
Early the next morning, Yang Fan's back and legs ached, and he had two big black circles under his eyes.
He muttered, "These two girls are crazy. They have been so tormented all night that they didn't have a good rest."
In the morning, they were both in good spirits, looking as fresh as spring grass after being soaked in the sun and rain.
When eating in the morning, the little girl acted coquettishly and asked me to tie my napkin.
Lin Yueru also asked the master to wipe her mouth.
Yang Fan had no choice but to fulfill their wishes.
After breakfast, Yang Fan gave the order and the whole army broke camp and returned to Duolun City.
When he arrived in Duolun City, Yang Fan convened a meeting of officials at all levels to summarize Duolun's work during this period and make arrangements for the future.
He also announced that a civilian official would be appointed to take charge of civil affairs work. A delegation of hundreds of officials would be arranged to participate in the management of institutions at all levels.
From now on, military control in Duolun City will be ended, military and political affairs will be completely separated, and the administration will officially be on the normal track.
Huang San was officially appointed as Duolun's first garrison commander. He was in charge of Duolun city defense affairs.
The infantry regiment will later be expanded to become the Duolun Infantry Division. It will consist of two regiments, and Huang San will be the division commander. He will be awarded the rank of Army Major General.
An Sanxi was appointed commander of the Cavalry Corps and awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of the Army.
An Sanxi was very excited. He was the first person in the master's system to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general. The person who had been awarded the highest military rank before was the second wife, who was only an army major general.
And everyone knows that the Second Lady has this military rank. No matter how much contribution she makes in the future, she will not be promoted again. After all, the intelligence department will not be too high-level.
The cavalry corps consists of three divisions.
Alsleng, the commander of the First Cavalry Division, has two cavalry regiments: Baiyin and Tumote. Segeleng is the commander of the Silver Cavalry Regiment. Tubman is the commander of the Tumote Cavalry Regiment, and Mu Qinglu is the deputy commander.
Che Xiaolin, commander of the Second Cavalry Division. It consists of two cavalry regiments, Haraqin and Duoyan. Han Wu, the commander of the Haraqin Cavalry Regiment, and Su Tong, the commander of the Duoyan Cavalry Regiment.
Wang Peng, the commander of the Third Cavalry Division, has two cavalry regiments, Taining and Fuyu. Hu Dan, the commander of the Taining Cavalry Regiment, and Wang Hao, the commander of the Fuyu Cavalry Regiment.
The engineering battalion will be expanded into an engineering regiment, headed by Hou Shengwu.
The reconnaissance battalion will be expanded into a reconnaissance regiment, headed by Wang Hao.
After all matters were arranged, Yang Fan took the steamship back to the new city with his two wives. An army of more than 20,000 people returned by land. This time Yang Fan took the dragoon regiment with him.
The Dragoon Regiment is not organized in the cavalry corps. This is because the Dragoon Regiment is an officer training regiment. It is used to train cavalry officers. The thirty-man cavalry squad that followed An Sanxi in the beginning is now the leader of the regiment. Generally speaking,
He also became a battalion commander.
The Dragoons have stayed on the grasslands for too long. Although training and learning are an important part of actual combat, they also need to receive formal military school education.
Therefore, as soon as the war ended, Yang Fan took them back.
The regular soldiers who left the customs this time, together with 10,000 militiamen and the dragoon regiment, formed a large group and marched overland back to Zunhua. The required military supplies were transported in a caravan with a capacity of 7 tons.
Yang Fan led his own camp of 500 cavalrymen, boarded the ship directly, and went back one step ahead.
Yang Fan was impatient with the slow land march. It would take ten days on land to return to his territory. After all, he had to take care of the walking speed of the infantry and militia. Considering their physical condition, they could not walk too fast.
The militiamen must go back as soon as possible, because although the summer harvest is over, the inside of the pass is no better than outside the pass. Winter wheat still needs to be planted. There is a lot of farm work back home.
During this expedition, the master promised to provide hybrid wheat seeds and guano fertilizer to every household of the militiamen participating in the war. I heard that this kind of wheat, plus the guano fertilizer provided by the master, could increase the yield per mu from over 100 points now.
, increase it to about 300 pounds and become tender.
For a time, all the militiamen participating in the battle were beaming with joy.
These new wheat seeds and fertilizers are limited and can only be provided to these soldiers participating in the war.
As for soldiers who died in battle, in addition to their family members receiving high pensions, the wife can continue to apply for military pay at 80% until her husband's retirement age. This money is used to support his wife and children. At the same time, a son can be arranged to be a civil servant
Or go to military school.
The soldiers are very satisfied with such a good pension, and everyone has no worries.
Yang Fan asked them to walk slowly. Now the grassland has become a no man's land except for Duolun. He will not waste time with them.
At this time, Yang Fan changed into home clothes and chatted comfortably with his wife, Lin Yueru, in his passenger ship.
Going down the river, the steamship is very fast. It takes one day and one night to reach Zunhua, and another half day to Xincheng. This time Yang Fan took the steamship directly to Jizhou with the towed canal and passenger ships, and then turned to the North Canal.
, enter the Grand Canal.
Then we arrived at Tongzhou and turned into Tonghui River. Two days later we got off at Chaoyangmen.
After entering the Great Wall, due to the barrier of the Yanshan Mountains, the cold air on the grassland could not pass. The temperature immediately rose.
The passenger ship opened the window, and the three of them sat cross-legged on the floor, looking out the window.
In the golden autumn season, the scenery near Yanshan is very beautiful. Chestnuts and peaches are ripe. Persimmons are also covered with branches.
"The people of the Ming Dynasty still have too few means of making a living. Look at the wild walnuts, chestnuts, and persimmons all over the mountains. When processed, they are worth money. Now that the threat from the Mongols has been resolved, the people can safely develop the resources in these mountains.
." Yang Fan said.
"Yes, sir, the persimmons you made last year were so delicious. I ate them all winter long. Why don't the people in these mountains know how to make them? If they knew how to make them, they would definitely be able to sell them for a lot of money.
Things are easy to store and transport, what a great business." Xiao Niangpi said.
Seeing that she still swallowed her saliva, Yang Fan smiled fondly and touched her head.
What Xiao Niangpi means is, I want to eat persimmons, handsome guy. I’m going to make persimmons this year too.
Lin Yueru arrived late last year, and the persimmons were divided between Xiao Niangpi and Mei Xiang. Later, she ate them once and found them delicious. After some hard work, she got a small wooden box from Mei Xiang.
"Master, I also want to eat persimmons. You forgot to give me the portion last year." Lin Yueru said with a pout.
"Well, let's buy more this year. The threat of the Mongols is gone. We can mobilize the people to go into the mountains to pick. We can buy more and give the people a bit of income. This year is the fourth year of drought. In addition to our own territory
, the situation is really terrible." Yang Fan sighed.
"Master, if we let the acquisition go, Yanshan will be full of chestnuts, persimmons, and walnuts. We won't be able to eat them all," Xiao Niangpi said worriedly.
In her heart, she also agreed to provide relief to the victims in Beizhili. If there was no income, how many victims would die of cold and starvation this winter. Moreover, as the news of the good people in Zunhua spread, in the past two years, even in Shandong and Henan
All the victims of the disaster fled here.
"Let go of the acquisition. Persimmons can be made into persimmons, which can be sold in Xinghe Supermarket or shipped to the south for sale. I plan to train a group of victims to roast walnuts and sugar-roasted chestnuts and send them to various places in Ming Dynasty.
Go to the cities, one family in each city, and start setting up roasted nuts and preserved fruit stalls. This can provide employment for some people, which can be regarded as mitigating the disaster.
