Chapter 36: The New Army
At this moment, the six Humang people were also very excited. Especially Xiao Feng, he was not famous originally, just a veteran of Leng Feng, but because of his outstanding performance, especially in the recent naval battle, he cooperated with Yue Guang to grab the largest horse boat at present, he took the lead in diving, and controlled more than 200 people on the ship with one person and one eighty-one bar, which was recorded as a great achievement afterwards. This time, it was directly written by Yang Chendong among the six officers in the first batch of award ceremony.
The six of Humang excitedly came to Yang Chendong, who was wearing a handsome uniform. Then there was a gorgeous elongated rank at the blank epaulettes.
Just now, everyone always felt that there was something wrong with the six people of Humang, and after waiting for the military rank, collar flower and Bayi emblem to be worn one by one, the spirit suddenly rose again, giving people the feeling that it was perfect and impeccable.
Among the six, Hu Mang was awarded the rank of captain, which was also the highest among the six.
Kaohsiung and Leng Song were awarded the rank of lieutenant, and the other four were awarded the rank of second lieutenant. These are the six officers in Yang Chendong's hands.
After being awarded, the six of them neatly saluted Yang Chendong with a military salute, and at the same time declared their allegiance to the sixth young master and the people. Then a large number of soldiers who had already passed the cold front training came to the stage. There are 320 people, including five faculty members including He Yang and Song Dacheng.
This time, the five people were not selected as officers, which was a lesson that Yang Chendong wanted to teach them. Such a punishment for underestimating the importance of cultural lessons is not excessive. It's just that the five of them really regret it in their hearts, if they knew this, they would never despise the cultural class at that time, but now it's too late to say anything, they can only behave well, hoping that the next time they are awarded, they can have them.
Three hundred and twenty people came to the stage. It has already been changed into a regular uniform, although it is a soldier's uniform, but it still gives people a new feeling, if it were not for the experience of the six officers such as Hu Mang, presumably their appearance would have attracted bursts of screams.
But even so, there are still many young men and women in the audience with envious looks. The sixth young master has said that not only men can be soldiers, but women can also do it, and even some special military branches, but only girls can do better?
The other nearly 2,000 auxiliaries, that is, the reserves, saw the 320 soldiers standing on the stage neatly, all looking forward to when they could also be recognized, pass the assessment, and finally get a set of such clothes to wear.
Three hundred and twenty men, some in white navy uniforms and some in green army uniforms. They walked in front of Yang Chendong one by one, and were put on collar flowers, cockades, and epaulettes of senior soldiers.
It is a symbol of identity and status.
In addition, each person can also get a set of training uniforms under the Type 07 military uniform, a pair of combat boots, a beret, and a belt. The army is mainly camouflage uniforms, and the navy has a white upper body and a dark lower body.
In terms of weapons, they obtained a Type 95 assault gun, a three-shuttle army stab, a combat shovel, and a number of grenades.
These 320 people passed the assessment of physical fitness, military literacy, and cultural courses. The score reached the ability of the elite veterans of later generations, and the only thing lacking was combat. Once a hundred battles are over, it will inevitably be an invincible army.
Three hundred and twenty people were also assigned to the army and navy as the backbone of the existence, and depending on their performance in the future, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be many officers. It's just that next time, Yang Chendong is afraid that he will not be able to confer titles one by one in person.
From the beginning to the end, the award ceremony was carried out under thunderous applause. Whenever a soldier is crowned with the rank of a private on his epaulette, it will attract fierce applause from below, and these people seem to see themselves tomorrow, and this applause is not only support and envy, but also encouragement and self-awakening.
This award ceremony has greatly enhanced the status of soldiers and increased their sense of honor and belonging. Facts have also proved that after the ceremony, more and more people signed up to join the army, and even some elderly people and women asked to sign up for the army. Later, it was only under Yang Chendong's personal statement that the incident was calmed down. He assured that every industry is making contributions, not just soldiers, as long as they make outstanding contributions, the effect is the same. In the future, he will prepare enough medals to reward those who have made outstanding contributions, and this medal will not only be given to soldiers, but also workers, farmers, and even teachers and businessmen, who are members of the children's regiment, and only outstanding performance can also be awarded.
Medals are also graded, which means that glory can also be exchanged for money. In other words, even if it is a sign of identity, it can also be used to supplement the family. Of course, whether someone will use it to earn money when they get a medal in the future depends on two words. No one would do this unless they couldn't survive.
At the end of the award ceremony, Yang Chendong stayed at the Black Wharf for five days, watched the progress of some factories, put forward some valuable opinions, and then listened to the detailed plan of Kaohsiung and Leng Song to jointly attack Chichicheng and occupy the entire Ryukyu Island, and then got up and left.
There is no way, with Yang Chendong's current identity, it is difficult to do more lingering in the black pier. Once someone goes to Yangjiazhuang and can't find him, then an unknown problem will occur.
Before he didn't have enough strength, Yang Chendong was still cautious in his work. Bidding farewell to Leng Song and Kaohsiung and others, as well as Xiaoyu and others who were crying profusely, after he repeatedly promised that as long as Xiaoyu made meritorious contributions, he would personally confer the title, and finally got into the carriage and returned to Jianning Mansion.
In the carriage, Qiaoyin thoughtfully placed a thick cushion behind Yang Chendong to ensure that he could be more comfortable when he leaned on it.
After watching Qiaoyin carefully do this, he bowed his head and remained silent. Yang Chendong saw that she had something on her mind, and leaned his head over with a smile, "What's wrong Yin'er, but is there anything unhappy?" ”
"Nope. The young master's demeanor makes Qiaoyin envious. ”
When praising people, the tone was so weak, Yang Chendong was even more firm in his judgment, and his expression became more serious, "Yin'er, you must have something on your mind, tell the young master." Of course, if you don't say it, then it's not with the young master, then I will find someone to marry you. ”
Yang Chendong, who cared about Qiaoyin very much in his heart, said in a frightened tone. If he really wants to marry Qiaoyin, I'm afraid he will be the first one who is reluctant.
Qiaoyin also valued Yang Chendong very much, and when she heard this, she was frightened, her face immediately turned across, and she said with a look of crying, "Young Master, Qiaoyin has something on her mind, but I'm worried about you, Young Master, you must not marry Yin'er." ”
As he spoke, Qiaoyin "pounced" into Yang Chendong's arms, and tears couldn't stop flowing downward.
Before, seeing that Yang Chendong was doing something, Qiaoyin began to worry while being happy. After seeing the award ceremony this time, I have a better understanding of the young master's strength, and this worry is inevitably greater.
The Ming Dynasty did not allow private soldiers, even princes with the same surname. What kind of person is Yang Chendong, but he is just a young talent. Of course, now he has the official body of a nine-rank official, but if the matter of the black pier is spread out, it is definitely a crime to kill the head, and even the three clans of Zhulian are not too much.
In Qiaoyin's heart, the young master is so knowledgeable, so capable, and now that he has an official body, he will continue to develop, and the future will be limitless, not to mention, at least there is no problem with abundant food and clothing, so why do you want to do something similar to "rebellion and rebellion"?
She was a little scared, and even panicked because she was afraid. She was worried that one day if the incident at the black pier happened, what would happen to the young master. At that time, what should I do?
Holding the crying Qiaoyin in his arms, Yang Chendong stretched out his right hand and patted the other party's back, his face was a little more peaceful. He knew what Qiaoyin was worried about, and he knew better what he was doing. Perhaps, as others think, he can let go, with the resources and abilities in his hands, there is no problem in being a safe young master. But can this really be the case? He will get married, have children, have offspring, and may be able to live in peace during his lifetime. But what about his children? What about his children and grandchildren? Once wait until the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the time when the Jiannu Tartars enter the customs? They all have the possibility of becoming slaves, which is definitely not what Yang Chendong thinks.
Even the thought of that time makes his heart ache. This was the main reason for him to build his own power. The so-called relying on others is better than relying on oneself. Instead of counting on the juniors to fight for luck, it is better to do something yourself, at least create a better condition for them, even if there is danger, then under the strong protection and umbrella that they have built, they can have more time and opportunities to avoid disasters.
Of course, Yang Chendong also has a bottom line for doing things. That is, he will not take the initiative to do something to the Han people, because this is his own compatriots, and if he can unite one, even if he can help one, he will help one more. He will not cut them unless they cut themselves off from themselves. Second, it also depends on the attitude of the imperial court towards itself, if you can use your own ideas to influence the emperor, let him make some reforms that benefit the people, and govern the Ming Dynasty well, his power will only be at sea, and will not enter the mainland.
is still the same sentence, for the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Chendong has always admired it very much. The behavior of the Son of Heaven in guarding the country made him even more appreciative, at least the emperors of some other dynasties were incomparable in this regard.
But what if it doesn't affect it? That's just a matter of opportunity. In line with the idea that I don't go to hell, who wants to go down, Yang Chendong came to Daming under the favor of heaven, and brought so many good things, if he didn't do anything at all, wouldn't he be a disgrace to God? At least that's what he thought.
