Chapter Ninety-Two: The Broken Camp

Su Chengyu nodded at her and praised: "The Zhen family is really the first righteous businessman in Jiangxi!" However, everyone fights for the country, and they can't always rely on righteous businessmen to provide food. In this way, at present, these grains and grasses are borrowed by the imperial court, and they will be returned to the Zhen family after Jiangxi is pacified. ”

When did the righteous army ever see such a generous and reasonable court official, in the past, they fought with the Qing army outside, and often had to bear the food and salary of the officials and soldiers at home, and the court never allocated them a grain of rice. In fact, the imperial court can't be blamed completely, it is really that the Longwu Dynasty is too poor, and even Yang Tinglin, the secretary of the military department, has to raise some of his own food.

Suddenly, several rebel armies also stood up to express their positions.

"I, Shi Qin, agree to join forces!"

"My White Horse Battalion is also willing to join forces ......"

The situation was very good, and Su Chengyu continued: "The issue of grain and grass is so decided for the time being. As for the armament baggage, I will first allocate to you 1,000 Lumi guns, 400 11-dollar heavy bird guns, and more than 800 wolf guns. In the future, firearms will continue to be replenished, and half of the army must be equipped with bird guns. ”

"In addition," he saw the light in everyone's eyes, and hurriedly pressed his hands to begin to talk about the main point, "There are also eleven thousand-pound Franc cannons, and fourteen No. 1 Furlong cannons, plus matching sub-guns. ”

The tent fell silent for a moment, and after a few moments, the rebel leaders turned their heads to each other, believing that they had misheard.

Even Gu Yanwu was surprised, he knew very well the financial situation of the imperial court, where could he supply the righteous army with 10,000 taels of silver per month, let alone dozens of cannons. Could it be that these are all taken out by King Chenzhou himself?! That's too much money!

After all the leaders of the rebel army confirmed that it was more than 20 cannons, there was a burst of cheers.

"Kilogram heavy artillery? Eleven doors! ”

"Your Highness!"

"It's the right time!"

Immediately, the leader of the rebel army expressed his support for the joint army. After this merger, there are guns and cannons, who wants to fight hard with those rags and thieves in their hands?

Suddenly, there was only one rebel army left in the tent who had not responded.

Su Chengyu frowned slightly, and said to the man with a pitted face: "Sun Yishi still has any concerns?" ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sun Mazi stood up and arched his hand, "I ......"

"Your Highness's atonement!" He squinted at a slightly chubby middle-aged man sitting on the side, "I just can't get used to seeing Lu Laosan, and I don't want to fight with him all the way." ”

Su Chengyu was a little worried in his heart, he really didn't know if he could adjust the contradictions of these people in the rivers and lakes. On the side, Gu Yanwu also coughed lightly, wanting to say something.

But seeing Zhen Zhen stand up first, he said loudly: "Brother Sun, how many years ago did you and Brother Lu, why are you still holding on?" It's too petty! ”

"I ...... It's just that he's not all the way. Sun Mazi still shouted, "Anyway, there is me without him, and there is him without me!" ”

Zhen Zhenmei's eyes were round, and she pointed at Sun Mazi and said angrily: "The surname is Sun, if you want to be so ignorant of the general situation again, I will ...... I'll let Sister Rou ignore you! She is the closest to me and will listen to me. ”

Although Yu Shura is a character in the Northern Ganbei Righteous Army, she is also a little girl in the end, and she knows better than anyone here about the short children of these parents.

Sure enough, before her words fell, Sun Mazi trembled slightly, and suddenly changed her pleading expression to look at her.

Zhen Zhen only "snorted" and ignored him.

The middle-aged man named Lu Laosan also stood up at the right time, and bowed deeply to Sun Mazi: "Brother Sun, I did that thing back then, I'm sorry for you, I'm here to compensate you." You adults have a lot of them. Don't delay the big event of the Sanfu Righteous Army for us! ”

Sun Mazi got a step and glanced at Lu Laosan, "Don't you use you to compensate?" But I have to give the face of Jade Shura. ”

He turned around and saluted Su Chengyu again: "In the future, my Royal Highness Sun Qiwei will look at the horse." ”

"Good!" Su Chengyu was overjoyed, got up and said to everyone, "After that, the Fourteenth Route Righteous Army in northern Jiangxi will be a family." He thought for a moment and said, "Since you are all here to destroy the captives, what if this new army is called the Broken Camp of the Prisoners?" ”

Everyone stood up and bowed their hands.

"Good name!"

"From now on, I will be the one who broke the camp!"

"It's all about it, good!"

Su Chengyu continued: "As I said at the beginning, this broken camp is still under your command. But the snake can't do it without a head, and the soldiers have no owner and are in chaos, so everyone should nominate one person to lead the whole army. ”

"I nominate Jade Shura!" Sun Mazi was the first to shout.

"Well, who of us hasn't received the help of Jade Shura's food and grass? That's her! ”

"I also agree with Jade Shura."

Although there were other names proposed during this period, Jade Shura, who obviously had dealings with all the rebels, was the most popular and had an overwhelming advantage.

Zhen Zhen's face turned red in surprise, he didn't expect her to be the commander of the new army, and waved his hand again and again: "This, how can this work?" ”

Su Chengyu smiled at her and said, "Since everyone expects it, don't shirk it." Then he turned to the crowd and said, "I announce that the Jade Shura will lead the camp." Grant the rank of guerrilla general, and take office immediately! ”

There is even an official rank? Guerrilla seems to be a military attache from the third grade, right? Everyone else was stunned.

Later, Su Chengyu announced that from Zhen Zhen onwards, everyone has a grade. There was another round of cheers.

Su Chengyu took the opportunity to say to Gu Yanwu: "Lord Gu is familiar with the situation of the armies in northern Jiangxi, and I hope you can serve as the supervisor of the Broken Battalion, and I hope you don't shirk." ”

Gu Yanwu didn't expect that the king of Chenzhou would suddenly propose to supervise the army by himself, and the king of Chenzhou was appointed as the prime minister of the military affairs of northern Jiangxi, so he naturally had the power to send the supervising army. The rebels appeased by the Ming Dynasty court often sent an official to supervise the army, which is in line with common sense.

He looked at the more than ten people in the tent looking at him, and it was really hard to shirk, plus he did invest a lot of effort in the Northern Jiangxi Righteous Army, and he also wanted to watch it continue to make contributions, so he immediately said: "Your Highness Xie raises love, then Gu is better than obeying his fate." ”

With Gu Yanwu as the overseer, Su Chengyu was much more at ease with the broken camp. He was also unambiguous, and immediately took out the blank letter of appointment given to him by Longwu when he left Fukyo, and appointed them one by one to those present.

In the end, all that remained was the training of the camp. Su Chengyu waited for everyone to calm down, and then announced: "I will also transfer five infantry officers and three gunners from the Dragon Guard Army to be responsible for the drill of the Broken Battalion." In addition, five instructors were sent to train the battalion's own instructors. ”

The combat effectiveness of the Dragon Guard Army was very clear to everyone present, and it was definitely right to have an officer of the Dragon Guard Army in charge of the drill. Maybe they can learn some of the Dragon Guard's art of war, and everyone is overjoyed.

In fact, Su Chengyu did not intend to let the Broken Battalion copy the combat method of the Dragon Guard. One weapon is completely different, and the line infantry tactics cannot be applied. The second is that there are currently everyone in the camp, and the problem of leakage must be taken into account.

Therefore, the officers he sent to the camp will train the camp according to the code of conduct of the soldiers of Helan, and it just so happens that Ke Yongsheng has seized several code of conduct, which is still translated into Chinese.

However, in the current era, Helan's Morris phalanx is already a very advanced tactic, as long as the broken battalion can be proficient, supplemented by appropriate weapons, it will definitely not be a problem to defeat the Eight Banners Army with a comparable number of people.
