Chapter 751: Preparing for the First Army

The establishment of the two provinces of Vietnam and Laos indirectly tore his face with the Northern Ming and Southern Ming, but anyone who understands can see his ambition. It's just that because of the strength he shows, he doesn't want to act rashly.

In the eyes of others, this is already enough to be proud, but it is far from enough in Yang Chendong's eyes. He didn't forget that he was in Beiming Jingshi, and there were two ladies left there. At the beginning, it was also to be a hostage, in order not to make the Northern Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu suspicious of himself. Not to mention, several of his brothers and sisters are also in the Beiming Jingshi, and the existence of these people is usually not visible, but the day they really tear their faces, they may become their own weakness.

The Security Bureau has already sent the news, whether it is the Immortal Residence in the Jingshi, or the mansion of Tianwaitian and his brothers and sisters, or even outside Yangjiazhuang, fifteen miles away in the south of the city, the figure of the Jinyi Wei spy will often be seen. They are staring at these people, just sending a signal to Yang Chendong, don't do things too much, otherwise, these relatives will have an accident at any time.

With these brocade guards staring, Yang Chendong couldn't do it even if he wanted to send these relatives out of Beiming Jingshi at the same time. For the safety of his relatives and in order to give Beiming enough deterrence, Yang Chendong chose to build a city in the northeast of Beiming, that is, Shicheng.

This is not like the south of the Southern Ming Dynasty, where there are large and small countries that can be conquered by him and form enough influence. Even so, he re-established a city here, and had a force, which threatened the Northern Ming court not to dare to do anything to his relatives.

The establishment of Shicheng did not go against Yang Chendong's original intention of coming here. According to the information of the Security Bureau, it has become much more honest now, and after occupying the Hetao area, it did not launch an offensive against Datong Province, achieving his original strategic goal and maintaining the balance between the Northern Ming and the grassland departments.

Now, what we have to do is to build the First City more powerful, so that no one and no force will dare to attack its idea at will. And as long as the First City exists for a day, it will form a great deterrent to all the surrounding forces, and after a long time, this deterrence will achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight, at least it is far easier to deal with than before.

It's a mutually reinforcing relationship. The development of Shicheng has become the most important thing in Yang Chendong's eyes now.

Of course, the establishment and development of Shicheng is only the first step. Yang Chendong needs to do more things in the future, such as continuing to expand his territory and influence. For the great purpose of the Han people walking on the top of the world in the future, whether it is the Northern Ming or the Southern Ming, Yang Chendong has no intention of conquering the city by force now, and it is even possible that he will avoid large-scale military siege in the future. But the land outside the Great Ming Dynasty, when he was conquered, he didn't have so many worries.

The question is, if you want to expand, who should be the next military target? After thinking about it, Yang Chendong set his eyes on the northeast, on the land of Russia under the rule of the Golden Horde.

The Golden Horde was one of the few remaining golden families with the purest bloodline among the Mongol powers. If they can be taken down, whether it is to achieve power expansion or deterrence, it is very significant. Think about it, even your Mongolian golden family was defeated by mercenaries, in that psychological sense, isn't it mercenaries invincible?

There is still an important reason for Yang Chendong to make this decision, that is, after more than two hundred years of development, today's Golden Horde is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning. Now is the time to go downhill. According to the development of history, even if it does not take its own action, it will not take twenty years, and the Golden Horde will be destroyed by the emerging power of Russia.

Even so, what else is there to worry about. Taking advantage of his illness is the best time to take his life.

In order to achieve the goal of inflicting heavy damage or even eliminating the Golden Horde, Yang Chendong has already begun to formally consider which army will set off from Shicheng for the expedition.

It is said that the best person to command the army is himself, he did not know how many times he went there in order to complete the mission in his previous life, he was very familiar with the language there, and he also knew more about some of the conditions and terrain there than others. It's just that the first city has just been built, and it hasn't experienced the test of a cold winter, and he is really a little worried about going away now.

In addition, when the expeditionary force first marched, it was necessary to go thousands of miles away to fight the enemy, and it was not an overnight thing to make meritorious contributions, and even if he went now, he was afraid that he would not make meritorious contributions immediately. It is better to send other troops first, that is, to explore the way, but also to take the opportunity to find the shortcomings in the army.

But even if you send troops, you are facing a behemoth like the Golden Horde, and the insufficient strength of the army sent is just a laughing stock. After thinking about it, Yang Chendong decided to send the Leng Feng Third Division to the front line.

Leng Feng's third division, mainly based on the 95 style, has seven consecutive rounds of such sharp weapons as steel crossbows, and the quality of individual soldiers is also very good, which is Yang Chendong's trump card in the military force in the north. When the division commander Wu Sheng and the political commissar Chen Bo cooperate for a long time, the advantages and advantages of the two can complement each other, which is enough to ensure that they will deal with problems calmly under any circumstances and will not be rash easily. No matter how you look at it, sending them on the expedition are the most suitable candidates.

Of course, it is not enough to just have a cold front third division, but also to add a Jurchen cavalry regiment. In this way, the number of troops reached 10,000, which was enough to deal with the encirclement and storming of some large armies.

The reason why the Jurchen cavalry regiment was sent was not other cavalry regiments. That's because the so-called Mongolian Golden Family can bring a lot of pressure to many Mongolian troops, but when facing the Jurchens, that pressure will be minimized, on the contrary, because of so many years of suppression, the two sides have long been on the same footing. Only by sending the Jurchen cavalry regiment can they exert stronger combat power, which can be regarded as a battle of revenge for them, how can they not use all their strength?

With a decision in his heart, Yang Chendong began to personally train the Leng Feng Third Division and the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment. In particular, some more advanced guiding opinions were given on how to fight outside of the cold and snow. He even took out his snowboards, which he made himself, which came in handy at the end of October, after the first heavy snow fell on the grassland in early November.

Yang Chendong stepped on the snowboard with both feet, walking on the snow, his light posture and extreme speed made everyone stunned.

There was the appearance of bicycles first, and the sixth young master was the one who rode the most. The next snowboard was invented and demonstrated by the sixth young master, which made everyone have more admiration for Yang Chendong. They wanted to ask in their hearts, what else in this world would their Sixth Young Master not do?

In the land of ice and snow, with snowboards, the army can walk faster, not only that, when another batch of materials arrived, when a lot of white cloaks appeared, Yang Chendong put it on his body, and the whole person seemed to melt into the snow in an instant.

This cloak is far less large and dazzling than the cloak worn by officers above the regimental level. But it's just the right way to hide your figure, and it's the best tool for camouflage. If the enemy hadn't been deliberately staring, or had already had intelligence information, I'm afraid that it would have passed under their noses, and few people would have been able to find out.

"Alright, the equipment is all there, so let's train with that. When the training is completed, when the army sets off, Young Master Ben will personally see you off. After Yang Chendong patted Wu Sheng, Chen Bo and others on the shoulders respectively, he turned around and walked out of the training ground.

Wu Sheng and Chen Bo were very excited about Yang Chendong's fancy and allowing them to lead the troops to battle alone.

Speaking of which, from the third regiment of Leng Feng to the third division, they have always followed Yang Chendong's side in the process of growing up. It is better to say that they fought and won many battles, but it is better to say that the sixth young master commanded well and the battle plan was well formulated.

And now, the chicks can finally soar freely in the sky, how can the two of them not be excited?

This is not to say that they don't want to be under Yang Chendong's command anymore, but they want to prove their abilities more. There is already news that Leng Feng has considered building an army. And it is likely that the first army was established in the rear base camp Chichicheng.

The first army commander will also be Leng Song, the former commander of the first division. That is about to build an army, whether it is Wu Sheng or Chen Bo's eyes will not be limited to the position of a division commander and political commissar, they also want to go one step further and become a division commander.

If they want to achieve this goal, they need to put in more efforts and more military achievements. And this freedom to command the battle is the time to give full play to their abilities. In order to achieve this goal, Yang Chendong had just left the training camp, and Wu Sheng's voice came out, "Give me a good practice, practice to death, and strive to be familiar with the use of snowboards a day earlier, and make contributions." ”

Yang Chendong doesn't have to worry about the army's enthusiasm for training. Soon after leaving the training ground, he came to the base of the greenhouse. More than two months have passed, the first construction was still early autumn, but now it is early winter, everywhere is covered by heavy snow and covered, the vegetable greenhouse base, is indeed a vibrant green scene.

I heard that no matter how busy the city lord Yu Mian is every day, he will take the time to come here to take a look, and it seems that after reading it, his mood will become very good. Yang Chendong will also come here in a few days to see the results under his own guidance.

With the addition of 100 experienced old farmers, coupled with some technical guidance from Yang Chendong, the development of the green greenhouse base has gone smoothly. As soon as you enter it, it is full of green, giving people a sense of joy of harvest.
