Chapter 675: The Soldier Dies, Confidant
Just when Zheng Toniang's daughters were happily preparing to rush to Fujian to meet her husband, Fujian in Xiamen also ushered in the two tiger generals he had been waiting for.
In later generations, when people mention the generals who resisted the Manchu Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they often think of Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others, who are also well-known to the world.
But in fact, among the generals of the late Ming Dynasty, there were two people who were not well known. One of them was even called "the first general of the Ming Dynasty" by the "History of the Ming Dynasty", also known as "the enemy of ten thousand people"
This person's name is Cao Wenzhao, and the other person is his nephew Cao Bianjiao.
In history, one of the uncles and nephews committed suicide because of the extermination of the Liukou, and finally committed suicide because of the ambush of the Liukou, and the other was to resist the Manchu invasion, because of the situation and poverty, the army was defeated and captured, and was killed by the Manchu Tartars after unwilling to surrender.
This uncle and nephew have a common characteristic, that is, they are infinitely powerful, extremely brave in battle and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, Yang Feng once wanted to ask the two of them from Sun Chengzong's hands, but Sun Chengzong was stunned and refused to let go, so he had no choice but to give up.
Some time ago, he got through the relationship with Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and sent an order to the Liaodong Army, and after more than two months, the uncle and nephew finally arrived in Xiamen.
In order to welcome the pair of uncles and nephews, Yang Feng specially hosted a banquet in the front hall of the Zhengnan Governor's Mansion today to entertain the two uncles and nephews.
To Yang Feng's surprise, Cao Wenzhao, who was known as the enemy of 10,000 people in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", was only medium-sized, but he looked very stocky, and his hands were also covered with calluses, looking like an honest and honest rural peasant.
And his nephew Cao Bianjiao is twenty-one years old this year, and he looks heroic and energetic, in the words of later generations, this guy was born to be a soldier.
At today's banquet, Yang Feng not only attended in person, but also called Geng Bingyi, Chu Maoguang, Huang Jiye, Wu Keshan, Lu Guangbiao, Liu Xiang and many other generals to accompany him, which was considered to be enough face, and also moved the newcomer Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew.
As a martial artist, his temper is naturally straightforward, although Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew and the generals of the Jiangning Army met for the first time, but after a few glasses of wine, the two sides immediately became acquainted with each other, and soon began to push the cup and change the lamp.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yang Feng smiled at Cao Wenzhao, who was sitting on his right: "General Cao, you have come from afar to saddle a horse all the way, it is really hard, I don't know how many soldiers and horses you have brought this time?" ”
Seeing Yang Feng's question, Cao Wenzhao quickly stood up and said respectfully: "So that Hou Ye will know that this time, the two generals will come over and bring a total of 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers for Hou Ye to send." ”
Yang Feng waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "If Ben Hou is not mistaken, General Cao, you are now a guerrilla, and your nephew Cao Bianjiao is the title of General Qian, right?" ”
"Exactly!"
Yang Feng thought for a while: "In this way, Ben Hou now has a total of five battalions in Fujian, and each battalion is led by a guerrilla commander. Now that you are here, Ben Hou will form another infantry battalion, based on the old department you brought, and you will lead it, what do you think? ”
Cao Wenzhao's honest face showed an excited look, don't look at him like an old farmer, but he is not stupid. Moreover, with the reputation of the Jiang Ning Army, every move of the Jiang Ning Army has been studied extremely thoroughly.
Of course, he knew that the largest establishment of the Jiangning Army was the battalion. The foot soldiers were 5,000 men per battalion, all armed with firearms. In the case of cavalry, there were 3,000 men per battalion, and each cavalryman was a man with two or even three horses.
These are the most important combat effectiveness of the Jiangning Army, and as for the artillery battalion, medical battalion, and baggage battalion of the Jiangning Army, these units belong to auxiliary units in the eyes of many people, and not many people pay attention to them.
Cao Wenzhao then asked: "Master Hou, the last general brought 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers this time. These two thousand infantry soldiers can be incorporated into an infantry battalion, but what about the thousand cavalry? ”
Yang Feng smiled: "Don't you also have a nephew, Cao Bianjiao, so let's do it, this thousand cavalry will be handed over to him to command." Formed into an independent thousand-person team, led by Ben Hou himself, what do you think? ”
"...... Uproar"
This time, not only Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew, but even the generals of the Jiangning Army present were in an uproar.
Led by Yang Feng himself, they knew too well what that meant.
Prior to this, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the entire Jiangning Army, and there was no army led by Yang Feng at all, if there was anything, that is, Wu Baijiading led by Song Ye, and now Yang Feng actually let Cao Bianjiao continue to lead the thousand old troops he brought, and let him personally follow him, this is the rhythm to cultivate him as a confidant.
Seeing that Cao Bianjiao was still stunned, Cao Wenzhao stood up in a hurry and flew over at his nephew's buttocks.
"Idiot, Hou Ye intends to promote you, you are still stunned, why don't you hurry up and thank Hou Ye!"
Cao Bianjiao, who was kicked once, came back to his senses, quickly stood up and knelt down to Yang Feng and said loudly: "I have thanked Hou Ye for his love, if Hou Ye is sent in the future, he will definitely go to the soup and die in the fire!" ”
Seeing Cao Bianjiao's face flushed with excitement, many people in the hall were so jealous that their eyes were red.
swept around everyone's faces, but Yang Feng, who saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, scolded with a smile: "Okay, what kind of eyes are you?" Ben Hou cherishes Cao Qianzong's talent, and intends to let him follow Ben Hou for a while, if any of you are red-eyed, then squeak, Ben Hou let you change with Cao Bianjiao, who is willing to come over? ”
Hearing Yang Feng's words, everyone laughed and stopped talking. What are you kidding, the person who is doing it is at least a guerrilla general who commands a battalion, if he changes with Cao Bianjiao, wouldn't he be demoted, and a fool will change with him.
After speaking, Yang Feng also smiled and said to Cao Bianjiao: "Okay, get up." Benhou doesn't want you to go to the soup, as long as you remember to do things in the future, as long as you are worthy of the Ming court and the people of the Ming Dynasty, then you can be regarded as worthy of Benhou. ”
Hearing Yang Feng say this, Cao Bianjiao admired it even more in his heart, and said respectfully: "Well, thank you for the teachings of the Hou Ye!" ”
With that, he stood up and sat down again.
To be honest, before coming to Fujian, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, the two uncles and nephews, were still apprehensive.
After all, the 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers they commanded now were the elite soldiers they had cultivated with great difficulty, and if Yang Feng gave an order to break up or reorganize this army, they would have no way to do it.
But now Yang Feng not only did not plan their troops, but also expanded their troops into a battalion, and even transferred Cao Bianjiao to his side to train him personally, what a grace this is, at this moment, the uncle and nephew naturally gave birth to the idea of dying as a confidant.
