Chapter 361: Boosting Qi
Zhong Shixin rode his horse for a while before stopping, and while looking around, he wiped the saber with his hand.
However, when he was polishing the knife, there was a rough pause, which made him focus on the body of the saber in his hand, and after a slight glance, he found that there was actually a small gap on it.
"What the hell?" Zhong Shixin couldn't help but exclaim, and then remembered again, this time, they were making up for reconnaissance, and in order to be realistic, the conspicuous weapons used were all weapons of the Ming army.
The saber in his hand is the survival of the Ming army's armory, and it is still one of the best ones carefully selected. But he didn't expect that just by cutting off a person's head, he would already pop out of his mouth.
"You! How did this thing pass the inspection? If it's a serious battle, it's time to change it after a fight, right? Zhong Shixin resisted the desire to curse in his heart. Double-checked.
After finding out that it barely works. Zhong Shixin sighed helplessly, put the saber back into the scabbard, and muttered, "Next time, no matter how the logistics are fooled, you can't use unreliable weapons from other places." ”
Then, looking up at the other places, he saw that the other Mongol cavalry were fleeing to the northeast, and he remembered his mission, and hurriedly waved to the herald who was on guard not far away, and asked the whole army to assemble.
The trumpeter took the order, drew his trumpet and blew it loudly, and the scouts who had scattered in pursuit of the enemy retreated one after another, and assembled again.
Li Tao looked at the backs of several Mongolian cavalry who fled, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "The Mongolian cavalry who escaped will definitely send the news of the attack by the [Ming Army] back to Jinzhou." It seems that this operation should be completed. ”
However, he immediately became worried again, this time it was an offensive operation, and it was also an offensive operation under various unfavorable factors such as no city to rely on and lack of heavy artillery cover.
Just seven or eight Mongolian cavalrymen, taking advantage of their extremely high speed advantage and certain natural factors, made their own more than 20 scouts disgraced, and even injured one scout.
If a large number of Houjin Eight Banner cavalry from Jinzhou and Fuzhou rushed over, it would be a large-scale field battle!
Zhong Shixin is confident that his army will not lose, but the enemy's super high mobility is completely an unbreakable advantage.
I don't know if the people in their own cavalry battalion will be able to complete the pursuit mission after the enemy has fled, if not, the battle situation will begin to seesaw.
In a mixed area of plains and hills 20 kilometers south of the city, more than 800 auxiliaries brought by Zachdan were sweating and digging trenches. The political workers were also loudly agitating to speed up.
These auxiliaries were all military households from the original Lushun, refugees who fled from Liaodong Demon, or ordinary battalion soldiers, a total of more than 800 people, who signed up for the current temporary auxiliary battalion at the instigation of political workers, and of course, the most important thing was the lure of food.
Nearly 800 people were divided into 16 platoons, and the guards of the army logistics department were temporarily appointed as platoon commanders, and each platoon was divided into four squads with 13 people in each squad.
"The big guys are working hard to fix our own camp, and the golden tartars can't get close to us.
When we take down Jinzhou City, we will recruit regular troops among the best-performing auxiliaries, 150 yuan a month, which is enough for one or two or five dollars.
What's even better is that the army is responsible for food and housing, you don't need to pay for it, you have meat to eat every day, of course, you can't drink wine, as long as you are in the camp, you must not touch this thing, and the military discipline of our army cannot be violated.
Moreover, as long as you do a good job, win medals for military exploits, and earn glory for the company, you will have the opportunity to be recommended to study in the lecture hall and officially advance to the ranks of non-commissioned officers and even officers.
This opportunity is rare and tight, after this village, there will be no such shop, everyone should think about it, if you want to join, live a good life, just work hard. ”
When the emaciated auxiliaries heard the preaching of the political workers, they immediately screamed excitedly.
The yearning for a better life is the indelible nature of human beings, even those who are at the bottom of society, who have experienced countless tests of life and death, survived, and almost lost hope in years of hardship.
When new hope reappeared in front of them, vitality also came to them again, and the Chinese nation was reborn in despair again and again by relying on this optimistic attitude towards life.
One of the auxiliaries asked while digging the earth, "My lord, can we have land?" The villains don't dare to expect to get their own land, as long as the adults can give them a way to live, and are willing to let us rent the adults' land. ”
"Hey, that's what you think! It's also peculiar, you can join the army, and you have 150 silver dollars a month, why do you still want to rent land to plant? ”
"Let's not worry, we're not worried, I'm worried about what to do if we are disabled, the knives and guns on the battlefield are not long-sighted, I don't know when we will lack arms and legs, when the time comes, how will we live!"
The political worker turned his head to look and saw that the interrogator's clothes had been torn into strips, and his skinny body was exposed in the gaps that could be seen everywhere, but his face was full of sunlight.
"Where's the coat given to you? Why don't you wear it on such a cold day? ”
"My lord, the coat sent down, it's a good thing, it's very warm, the villain gave the coat to the old lady at home, otherwise, if the villain goes out and no one takes care of it, the old lady is afraid that she will freeze to death." The auxiliary soldiers flinched a little, didn't dare to raise their heads, just dug hard into the soil, and then, before the political workers thought about whether this was in line with the rules, they asked again, "My lord, you haven't said it yet, in the end, we are disabled, do we have a way to live?" ”
This political worker was obviously led astray by his thinking, nodded slightly, and said a little distractedly, "There will definitely be a land, although our Chinese Army does not have the habit of tuntian, but we are all good men who contribute to the country, and the state has regulations, and all soldiers and officers who retire through regular procedures have a retirement care policy."
For example, if the disabled are retired, in addition to the one-time disability compensation, there are also 30 acres of land allocated to the individual.
If you can't do heavy work, the local government of the township will help you, and the local government will make careful planning according to the number of local population and wounded soldiers, so that you can survive.
Not only to give you a way to live, but also to find a way for all the poor people in China. When Liaodong is completely recovered in the future, there will be better policies down, so that your family will not lack food and clothing. ”
This is really uplifting, and all the auxiliaries present are excited as if they have eaten a full meal, full of enthusiasm, and the speed of digging the ground is simply a straight line increase.
