Chapter 676: The Reward Has Arrived
After the excitement, it was the young Cao Bianjiao who couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, dare to ask if it is expanded, how to deal with the ordnance needed by the sixth battalion?" Do you want to replace them all with firearms? β
"It's natural." Yang Feng nodded and said: "The battles over the past few years have proved that although today's firearms still have shortcomings of one or another, they are not flawed, and the use of firearms is already the trend of the times, and the future will inevitably be the world of firearms."
Therefore, except for the cavalry accident, all the foot soldiers will be replaced with firearms, and at the same time as the sixth battalion is expanded, I will also send some officers to the sixth battalion to retrain you, and the same is true for your cavalry brigade. β
"Send officers to the 6th Battalion and retrain them all?"
Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao were startled at first, and their first reaction was that Yang Feng was going to send officers to elevate their troops.
But then he thought about it, if Yang Feng wanted to cut off the military power in their hands, he only needed to promote them to one and a half levels in the name of the governor of Zhengnan, and then transfer them to an idle position elsewhere, they could only obediently copy it, why bother?
Seeing Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew, who were still a little puzzled, the Jiangning generals in the lobby felt a burst of hehe.
This uncle and nephew are still too naΓ―ve, don't look at the Hou Ye is now expanding your troops and changing your troops into pure firearms troops, on the surface, it seems that Yang Feng's actions are beyond reproach, but I don't know that this is a bait wrapped in honey on the surface, and it is too late to spit it out after you swallow it.
For example, Cao Wenzhao's infantry expanded from 2,000 to 5,000, and the firearms, equipment, grain and grass, and even military salaries and materials used were all provided by Yang Feng.
If they were disobedient, as long as Yang Feng gave an order to cut off their ammunition, the originally powerful firearm would instantly turn into a pile of scrap metal. If there is no more food and supplies, even the strongest troops will become soft-footed shrimp.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in later generations, why did Chairman Chiang make warlords all over the country honestly obedient? In addition to having a righteous name, relying on the money, food, weapons and ammunition in their hands, that army will cut off their supplies if they are disobedient, and even the unruly warlords who rely on these two tricks will have to bow their heads.
Therefore, in the words of later generations, what Yang Feng threw out was a sugar-coated cannonball, and he used an upright Yang Mou, so that even if he knew his intentions, he had to bear it hard, and he couldn't say that the other party did something wrong, which was also the most powerful thing about Yang Mou.
Although the current uncle and nephew of Cao Wenzhao have not understood this, as a soldier, they are also keenly aware that Yang Feng's kindness may contain some things that they can't understand.
However, this thought only disappeared after a turn in their minds, these two uncles and nephews are relatively pure military personalities, otherwise future generations will not be defeated and martyred by the country, and the other would rather die than surrender after being captured.
"Master Hou, there are angels outside with His Majesty's will!"
At this moment, a family member hurriedly walked over and reported loudly to Yang Feng.
"The Divine Decree has come?"
Yang Feng waved his hand without thinking.
"Soon, an angel will come in, and then send someone to put down an incense case to welcome the holy decree!"
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says ......"
After the young eunuch finished reading the holy decree, he immediately bowed his hand to Yang Feng with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Jiang Ning, congratulations to the Marquis of Jiang Ning, the Marquis of Jiang Ning is happy to have a noble son!" Your Majesty's favor to you is really unique, and he has given you the title of Zuozhu Country, Guanglu Doctor, and the Iron Scroll Danshu, which is also a rare thing in the country! β
"Congratulations to the Hou Ye, congratulations to the Hou Ye, happy to be a noble son!"
The generals in the hall were all overjoyed, for them who had already tied their net worth and future to Yang Feng, the emperor's reward was secondary, Yang Feng had a son, this was the most important thing.
Yang Feng is now the Marquis of Jiangning, the chief soldier of Nanjing, the governor of the southern capital, and has the gold-absorbing weapon of the Ming Royal Commercial Bank, which can be said to have the right to soldier.
Although he is still young now, but since ancient times, the Chinese people pay attention to unfilial piety and have three no queens, now he has been married for more than a year, but only Zhezhe gave birth to a daughter for him, which inevitably makes these generals who follow him a little worried, now well, Zheng Tuoniang gave birth to a son for him, and now there is an heir to the family business, which also makes everyone let go of a heart hanging on weekdays.
Even Yang Feng himself was filled with this huge surprise.
Although both Zhezhe and Xu Ziqing in modern society had given birth to two children before this, and he also loved these two daughters very much on weekdays, but for a traditional Chinese person, in fact, he still hopes to have a boy to inherit his career.
Seeing that Yang Feng was so happy for a while that he only knew how to smirk, the careful Liu Xiang shook his head helplessly, quietly walked to the side of the young eunuch who passed the decree, and took out two ingots of snowflake silver from his arms and stuffed them into his hands.
Feeling the heavy snowflakes and silver of the two ingots in his hand, the young eunuch's face was even more smiling.
Because everyone was still immersed in joy at this time, not many people noticed Liu Xiang's actions, but Lu Guangbiao on the side saw it in his eyes, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
The eunuch who got the reward was even more determined to sell Yang Feng a good one, but he whispered to Yang Feng: "Master Hou, our family has another good news to tell you." His Majesty has already made a decree from the Queen Mother.
Feeling that you are fighting for the country, I can't bear to see you and your wife and children separated, and you are specially allowed to bring your son-in-law to Xiamen to meet you after the confinement, and your family can be truly reunited. β
At this time, even Yang Feng was moved, the generals who have always led troops abroad, the imperial court will let their families stay in the capital, as a reward for the imperial court's trust in them.
It can also be said to be an unspoken rule, but now the emperor has specially ordered Zheng Toniang to bring the child to reunite with him, which is a clear signal to him: This is a compliment to your recovery of Taiwan, and it is also the greatest trust in him.
That night, Yang Feng held a banquet in the mansion to celebrate his happy son, and after the news spread, even Xia Dayan and other high-ranking officials in Xiamen came to congratulate him in person, and the banquet lasted until midnight.
It's just that after the banquet ended, Yang Feng sent the guests back to the backyard, but he felt that the atmosphere in the backyard was a little strange.
After Hai Lanzhu and the other three daughters diligently served him to bathe and change clothes, they hugged him back to the bedroom.
That night, three beautiful female knights teamed up to challenge Yang Daguanren, although our Yang Daguanren's physical fitness can be called perverted, but they were still defeated by the crazy offensive of the three stimulated beautiful warriors, and the battle lasted until ten in the morning, and they were finally defeated, which was also the first defeat that Yang Daguan had eaten since they became married.
