Chapter 126: Faith
Wei Jinzhong.
Ying Ming listened to the name and looked at the general manager of the middle camp with a smile, he thought that this honest general manager didn't know what he had just lost.
He originally planned to give a little training to the general commander of the middle battalion, and then promote him to the former town general of Makino, under the jurisdiction of the three old battalions of the Makino Calendar, as the main force of the next English land war of the Oriental Army.
Even in Ying Ming's eyes, this Sanlao battalion recruited by Li Yuxi is a qualified force.
The command of this force was in the Oriental Military Office, and he was the highest officer of the Oriental Military Government in England, so he could do the major things on his behalf, and the military victory of the Battle of Puley was closely related to the equipment of the three veteran barracks, and the non-commissioned officers were mainly recruited from the merchant sailors.
All the officers of the old third battalion, three generals, three staff officers, twelve sentry commanders, twelve assistant sentry posts and forty-eight armor commanders, a total of seventy-eight officers, are all equipped with plate armor and war horses; The 1,200 sergeants of the 3rd Battalion all wore helmets, and at least 9 of the 25 men under the command of each armor commander wore armor.
In order to cope with the characteristics of many encounters in the fighting environment in England, there was no ambiguity in the weapons, except for the original large crossbows and small crossbows, dart spears and ring knives, each battalion had three posts for the center, left and right posts.
The left and right are conventional infantry posts, under the jurisdiction of scout armor, musket armor, infantry armor and artillery armor, scout armor with five horses; 10 arquebuses in musket armor; Infantry armor had five plate-piercing Irish axemen; The artillery armor has three light Franc cannons.
The main posts of the Chinese army are baggage armor, banner armor, handcuff armor and artillery armor, which should be clearly set up for the purpose of their direct battalion to put the general standard, and the baggage soldiers are the same as the infantry when fighting, and the banner armor does not participate in the battle, and the handcuff armor is equipped with 20 captured pistols for the protection of the commander.
Even if this army is not armed, these Makino warriors have received military training in North Asia, and they are much stronger than the tribal warriors that Ying Ming commanded in Ailan before.
Once in command of this unit, it is easy to make a meritorious contribution in the following battles.
And the general commander of the middle battalion in front of him, regardless of whether he knew it or not, at least in Ying Ming's heart, he used the opportunity to be promoted to the acting commander of such a unit in exchange for recommending his son to him.
Ying Ming wanted to know what kind of teenager this man named Wei Jinzhong was.
Naturally, they are teenagers, and the Beiyang recruits mainly recruit fifteen to twenty-five flag soldiers for training, and these low-level officers are not very old, and they are generally full of combat skills and little experience, and when they are their sons, under normal circumstances, they should be less than twenty.
Song Yang didn't let the chief wait too long, and brought his son after a short time, he looked sixteen or seventeen years old, the blue and white Jinghai suit was draped in chain mail, a short robe, and the lower body was wearing a red armor skirt. ”
He has no boots on his feet and calves tied with Pion, and it can be seen that his identity is not the Beiyang Flag Army, and his hands are eye-catching, one on each side of his two thumbs, both of which are covered with tongue-shaped celadon chisels used by Han shooters, and a black rope is tied to the outside and tied to his wrists.
The wrench is the wrench, the archery buckle string is used, the outer side of the rope is tied to the wrist is afraid that the bowstring will drag the wrench from the fingers, the Central Plains shooters from the Shang Dynasty used mostly tongue-shaped, but now there are many Mongolian-style cylinder wrenches in Zhili, and some people use them.
But this thing is a rare thing in Beiyang, Chen Mu's soldiers and crossbowmen during the Nanyangwei period, that is because the firearms are not reliable enough, and now the Beiyang Flag Army has heavy firearms and light bows and crossbows, and there are no archers even in the army, let alone special training, and the Beiyang cavalry with bows and arrows are all fierce men with art in the army.
This self-proclaimed Wei Si Wei Jinzhong wore a porcelain hammer on both hands, and in Ying Ming's view, this was a symbol of superb riding and archery that could open the bow left and right.
Song Yang previously said to Ming that Wei Jinzhong was the two countries that year won the war between the Ming and Western countries, and came with Shandong immigrants, this kid was very popular, and he was very familiar with Yang Zhaolong's Miao soldiers, but he didn't like farming, and the land allocated by the military government left a hunting ground for him to ride horses and shoot arrows, and the rest were sold to others.
Spending money is very big, and he is willing to spend money to buy horses when he wins, and later went to Muye, Song Yang met him by playing football, and he likes this child very much, one is willing to accept the righteous son, and the other is willing to worship the righteous father, and he brought it over when he had this opportunity.
"Listen to your father-in-law, the idea of disturbing the hearts of the enemy army by shouting in the words of the battle array is yours, raise your head, I ask you."
Ying Ming said that the body on the chair leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Your name is Wei Jinzhong, why did you sign up for Wei Si from me?" ”
Wei Jinzhong raised his head, and his appearance also made people feel good when he saw it, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and fair skin.
Since ancient times, officials have also looked at their faces, and being good-looking only affects the goodwill of others, but being ugly may not even be an official.
With a cautious and restrained smile on his face, he narrowed his clever eyes and said, "Wei Si is good to remember, Jin Zhong wants the general to remember." ”
"Song always values you very much, what will you do, but you can shoot left and right?"
"I don't dare to say that I opened the bow left and right, that was the ancient generals, but the villain has been running on the street since he was a child, familiar with the bow and horse, and pursued in the field outside the city before, holding a bow in his right hand and shooting five people with an arrow in his left hand, and three people in turn, but he has no military status, so he didn't cut off his head."
When it came to riding and archery skills, Wei Jinzhong was very confident, and then asked Ying Ming with a thoughtful face: "In addition to these villains, there will be other things, but they are not military affairs, they are all things that cannot be put on the table." ”
"Even if you say it, Song Jiang always said that you can still bow."
"Keju can do a little, play suona, play the snare drum, play the piano and sing songs, the parents of the little ones are all happy households, these do not need to be taught since childhood, and they can always be better than others; I also learned chess and cards with people in my hometown, but I said it to make the general laugh, and it was all for me to relieve my boredom. ”
"You will really have a lot, Mr. Song, I like this kid very much, why don't you let him stay with me and be a housekeeper, what do you think?"
As soon as Ying Ming's words came out, Wei Jinzhong immediately looked at Song Yang, Song Yang himself had this purpose, this was a tacit understanding that he and Ying Ming did not say, but he still asked Wei Jinzhong in a pretentious manner: "Jinzhong, it is your blessing that the general is willing to accept you as a soldier, and you are willing to serve the general in the future?" ”
"If the child is willing, he will live up to his father's kindness, and General Xie will be fulfilled!"
"Okay, you will follow me in the future, and I will pick a favorite horse to give you a meeting gift later, but I will let you know that you will fight with me, and if you are afraid of death, go back to Muye as soon as possible."
Wei Jinzhong raised his head: "General rest assured, Wei Si is not afraid!" ”
"Also, you are meritorious in the field to calculate the total dedication, but you have to remember that it is okay to win a game with a little wisdom; But in the war of armies and the competition of nations, there is never a conspiracy to win. ”
"Maybe you think that surprise can make the battle easy and let more sergeants survive, but what we need is not this, the military government is not short of troops, what the three battalions of Makino lack is faith, this belief is not that we can win this battle, but let the battalion soldiers from Makino know that the Ming Empire is invincible, and in the next battle, even if the enemy is outnumbered, we will use the dignified array to break the enemy."
Ying Ming's expression was very religious, more religious than the Protestant priest in the church, he said: "Intrigue and trickery, relying on luck, that is, we feel that the dignified array cannot defeat the enemy, and we can only use conspiracy to have more chances, no." ”
"We don't need to gain the trust of the other side's army to win, we don't need to learn the other side's language, today's false military orders, tomorrow's false surrender, and tomorrow's false surrender will come true. I waited here to let the world know that the Great Tomorrow Army is invincible, and even one man, one horse, one soldier and one artillery can break through their military formations and blast through their walls, even if they can't break through this year, the ships coming next year will also break through. ”
"Everyone has to believe this, because in the world of the Ming Dynasty, there is a share of me."
Ying Ming raised his chin and finished speaking, glanced at Song Jiang and Wei Si, and nodded secretly.
It seems that he has not given lessons to those immature preachers in the third camp of Makino in vain in the past two days, and he is very powerful.
