Yang Fan touched his chin and asked: "I see why you look like a Han."
Hearing this, Zhang Shize reprimanded: "You are a traitor after all. Someone dragged him out and beheaded him."
The envoy who was kneeling on the ground trembled and said: "Sir, please spare your life. If you don't kill the envoy during the battle, I will follow my father to the grassland to do business when I was seven years old. Later I settled here, married a Mongolian, and ran the business for Lord Aoden."
For shop business, I am originally from Luliang, Shanxi Province. Because I am familiar with many Jurchen, Han, Mongolian, Tibetan and Western languages and often work as an interpreter, I sent the villain here. I am just a shopkeeper, so I am really not a traitor."
"Well, tell me, is Aoden really surrendering or pretending to surrender?"
"What a surrender, what a surrender. Uncle, you don't know that each of the three thousand captains in the city only has 600 soldiers. Yin Bili Tabu Nang has 1,500 troops. This time, Lord Tabu Nang only sent out five
Hundreds of people, plus 1,800 people from three thousand households defending the city, have suffered half casualties. Lord Aoden and Lord Bridge only saved more than a hundred soldiers. They really don't want to continue fighting.
Already."
Yang Fan and Zhang Shize looked at each other. So that's it. There are actually 3,300 troops in the city. Three hundred more than expected. However, Yin Billy, an old thief, is also playing tricks on his own people. He conserves his own strength and lets his subordinates consume more.
It seems that this kind of nonsense happens everywhere.
Seeing that they were about to lose everything, these two simply stopped playing. On the grassland, if they lost the most elite one hundred-man guard, they would not be able to gain a foothold. They exhausted their conventional strength and began to look for a way out.
"How many people are there in the city?" Yang Fan asked.
"In addition to Aoden and Lord Bridge's 200 personal soldiers, Lord Ogier still has 300 people left. Lord Yinbilita Bunang still has 1,200 people. Lord Ogier is Yinbilita Bunang's son-in-law.
"
Yang Fan looked at Zhang Shize and saw that there were fifteen hundred people. Zhang Shize nodded and agreed.
"Go back and tell the two captains that I accept their surrender. After this battle, give them all the captured soldiers in this city. They will eliminate the weak and retain the strong. From now on, they will each lead a battalion of 500 soldiers and horses.
From now on, I will join the reconnaissance team of the Beijing camp and be assigned the position of garrison." Yang Fan said.
When Yang Fan went on this expedition, he brought a lot of blank reports to the Ministry of War. They were all printed. They were used to make things easier. Yang Fan could be promoted to an official if he was below the rank of general. When he returned to Beijing, he only needed to report to the Ministry of War for formal registration. This was also for him.
and the privileges of generals on expeditions.
After all, if you want your soldiers to use their lives on the battlefield, you can only rely on two items, official titles and silver rewards.
"May I have your name"
"The younger one will be called Dong Laifu when he returns to his uncle."
"Well, you are proficient in the languages of the Jurchen, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan countries, and you are considered a talent. From now on, you should not be a shopkeeper. You can find some people who are proficient in the languages of other countries to form a translation team. You will be the team leader, and I will give you the job.
Your position as a promotion officer will give you a monthly salary of five taels of silver." Yang Fan said.
The military attache of the Ming Dynasty, under the general military officer, there are also deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrilla generals. Under the guerrillas, there are also camp officers, garrison officers, general commanders, promotion officers, etc. The promotion officer is a minor official, but
It also means saying goodbye to the white body and becoming an official.
】
Dong Laifu suddenly became excited. He lived in a foreign country and married a barbarian girl. It is estimated that his clan has disowned him and he has long been removed from the family tree.
Unexpectedly, when he was over forty years old, his fortune turned around. He gained the respect of Uncle Dingyuan and became an official in one step.
"I will go through fire and water for my uncle. Please wait for my good news."
"Okay, if you accomplish this, you will be rewarded generously."
Seeing Dong Laifu leave excitedly, Yang Fan and Zhang Shize summoned the generals for a meeting.
Twenty-two group leaders gathered together and listened to Yang Fan's introduction to the situation.
Each group leader took the initiative to ask for a fight, and the quarrel suddenly became intense.
"Jining City is too small, and there are too many people to move around. There are only 1,500 people in the city. Let's do this. The artillerymen should stop joining in the fun. You have had a good time these days. The 19th Regiment should also take a rest.
You will be responsible for operating the trebuchet from now on. The remaining nineteen regiments, each with one hundred men, will form a trap camp. In addition, 1,500 people from the Jingwei Martial Arts Camp will follow and learn and provide support when necessary."
"Wait until the South City Gate is lit tonight as a signal and enter the city immediately."
"Here!"
One day passed and the Ming army did not attack, which allowed the Mongols to breathe a sigh of relief.
After dark, someone used a lantern to draw circles repeatedly on the collapsed tower of the South City Gate. This was the agreed signal.
"Let's go, pay attention to safety. We must also guard against false surrender. The artillery and trebuchets are also ready. The arrow towers are also ready to support at any time."
Although, Yang Fan didn't think there was a possibility of false surrender. Because they had to attack in the first place, it didn't make any difference whether the city gate could be opened. The southern city wall had basically collapsed. However, one must be vigilant.
This time it was mainly a training exercise, with each regiment sending young men who had been trained in ordinary times, as well as grassroots officers who needed to be trained to fight.
Each of the nineteen hundred-man regiments is led by a deputy commander. The deputy commanders are all descendants of nobles who will take over the position of commander in the future. These deputy commanders were also personally selected by Chongzhen. They are now Yang Fan's retainer regiment officers.
Lead them to fight. When they are waiting for the teacher, they will withdraw.
Zhang Shize stood next to Yang Fan and said with some worry: "Can these little brats do it? Just let them fly solo. What will happen if they are defeated?"
"This day will come sooner or later. We can't take them with us all the time. It doesn't matter if we defeat them. We can just send out troops to defeat them. The enemies are already relatively weak now. When we get to Guihua City, there will be no such enemies. Moxi
Mongolia and Qinghai Mongolia are both very tough."
At this time, the leader was Jiang Bingzhong, the eldest son of Dingxi Marquis Jiang Weigong.
The Dingxihou family has always been deeply trusted by the royal family. During the Ming Dynasty, their family participated in almost every major event of the dynasty. During the reorganization of the Beijing camp, Chongzhen specially sent the prince of Dingxihou as a general.
He is the only general in the army. Yang Fan directly appointed him as the assistant to the deputy general to cooperate with Zhang Shize. He works directly at the headquarters. The other deputy commanders are all guerrilla generals in each regiment. These people are also Hou
The descendants of the uncle’s family.
Yang Fan actually disagrees with this kind of nepotism. However, the Beijing camp belongs to the emperor after all. What he wants to do is his business. After solving the northwest problem this time, Yang Fan will probably be left to operate in the northwest.
He didn't want to worry too much about it.
After Yang Fan established a firm foothold in the northwest, a place beyond the reach of the imperial court, he would first unify Mongolia and then launch the second Mongolian Western Expedition in human history. He had no time to care about Chongzhen's affairs.
However, the Jiang family has been a good general for generations, and Yang Fan still respects him more.
I saw in front of me, the city gate opened, and more than 3,000 people quickly entered the city.
