Before the sergeants who violated discipline could happily spend the silver, they were directly arrested by the gendarmes on charges of reselling military supplies. In the end, not only was all ill-gotten confiscation, but he was also kicked out of the army. If it was another Ming army, it would be okay, and it might be better to leave the army. But having tasted the sweetness in the new army, being kicked out of the army is no less than taking their lives. Getting it and then losing it is just too much of a blow. These people have been stained on their backs, and the new army will definitely not accept them again in the future.

There was once a sergeant who had just been married. Because he wanted to buy a piece of jewelry for his new daughter-in-law, he couldn't resist the temptation of high-priced silver and sold his rations. He was then kicked out of the army and reclaimed the land that had been allotted to him. The family is making trouble, and the newlywed wife is also making trouble. After begging bitterly, he learned that because of the stain on his body this time, it would never be possible to recruit him back again.

Later, the sergeant committed suicide at home because he could not stand the thunderbolt blow on this sunny day. Since then, no one has dared to do such a thing. Even if the training shoes are worn thoroughly, they have to be returned to the logistics department to be replaced, and no one dares to take them home. As for the ancient brokers who wandered around the barracks, wanting to receive some goodies from the sergeants. A small number were killed and wounded by angry sergeants, and a few were taken up and sent to work as coolies. The rest all ran away. No matter how much money you want to make, you have to have a life to spend it.

Origin asked Gao Yang at the time, did he do this a little too much? It's just some toothpaste or something, which is a few dollars in modern time and space, as for it? Gao Yang's answer at that time was simple. If you dare to sell toothpaste now, will you dare to sell cannons in the future? Do you dare to betray military intelligence? Everything must be dealt with when it has just happened, when it has just appeared, and it should be deterred! Otherwise, it will inevitably increase gradually in the future. A thousand miles of embankment collapsed in an anthill. For the military, the slightest mistake can cause irreparable consequences!

The discipline and conviction of the army are accumulated bit by bit. These recruits, who have just put down their hoes, are also beginning to understand what they can and can't do! And these are the cornerstones of the army's strong combat effectiveness! Why was the combat effectiveness of the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty so poor? was beaten by a primitive tribal alliance that was not very strong, and vomited old blood. In the end, it even allowed the family to steal the Chinese world for hundreds of years! It is because they dress like beggars and eat like wild dogs. There is neither discipline nor faith! They're just a bunch of private armed men who live for the sake of living!

......

The soldiers who had already gotten up before dawn prepared breakfast early. In the thin morning light, the washed sergeants lined up according to their own formations and waited for food in front of the cooking squads of each company.

White, soft, steaming drawers of large steamed buns are a standing food in the army. On the side, a large stainless steel barrel marching pot is filled with hot soup with oil splashes and chunks of beef. Eat it all! Although the food in the army is not bad on weekdays, today is a big day to go out and engage the Tartars. It must be a good meal. When the battle is won, there will definitely be a more sumptuous celebration banquet waiting for the sergeants.

The sergeants carried their stainless steel lunch boxes and lined up one after another to fill them with broth. Take a few large white steamed buns and string them on stainless steel chopsticks. With a smile on his face, he walked to the side of the marching table and ate breakfast happily. There is no limit to how much you can eat. Just don't waste it. In the era of low property, being able to eat and drink is already the greatest pursuit of most people's lives.

The sound of 'snoring' food filled the entire camp. Each sergeant's face was filled with happiness and contentment. This meal is served before joining the army. I can't even see it during the Chinese New Year!

No one is idle and talking nonsense when eating. The discipline of not eating or sleeping is strictly enforced in the army. There is a time limit for eating, talking and chatting, and when the time is up, you don't finish eating, then you just wait to accept the punishment. The punishment is also very simple, just not having food for a day. This kind of punishment is really the most painful torture for these sergeants who have lived for so many years who are accustomed to living a poor life and starving and being full, standing on the sidelines and watching others eat and drink.

The morning sun gradually emerged, sprinkling crimson rays onto the ground. A dazzling display of the whole world. After breakfast, the huge barracks gradually began to boil.

The heavily armed sergeants of the brigade lined up in a neat line and walked out of the barracks to the beat of the drums of the military musicians. The water flowed through a knee-deep creek in front of the barracks. On the other side of the river, they lined up in a well-organized phalanx according to the flags of their respective companies. Opposite them was the Manchu army led by Abatai!

The Manchu army went south to fight the war of annihilation, and Dolgon set a share of two out of one for each cow.

The six yellow flag bulls led by Abatai produced a total of more than 900 armor soldiers. This is because the Manchu Qing Dynasty went through a period of turmoil after the death of Huang Taiji. At that time, in order to fight against Hauge, Dolgon deliberately wooed Abatai. From the bull in the male to Abatai to replenish the Ding mouth of the bull that he had taken himself. Let him support Fulin when Fulin and Hauge are fighting for unification. In this way, Abatai was able to bring out nearly a thousand armor soldiers from his own self-collected cattle record when he went out in this battle. If it had been replaced by two or one before, his six self-led cattle would only be able to bring out about six or seven hundred armored soldiers.

In addition to these Bayala, Jiabing, and Yu Ding, Abatai also brought nearly 5,000 people to coat them. In addition, there were more than 3,000 cavalry of the Mongolian Jerim tribe of the outer domain to help out. These so-called cavalrymen were ordinary herdsmen, who were herding horses and cattle on weekdays, and had no formal military training. However, he is still very brave when fighting a tailwind battle. It's some pretty good cannon fodder.

The total strength of Abatai was less than 10,000. But he dared to directly attack the reinforcement brigade of tens of thousands of people in Gaoyang. It can be seen that the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time has already seen the Ming army that had driven Yuan and Mongolia north into the dirt. If this is known by Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Zhu Di and others, then they will really have to turn over and cover their faces underground. (I really want to say here that the military strength of the Manchus was not very strong.) That is, they encountered an extremely declining Ming army like beggars, so how great it was to be blown by some mouth cannons. Not to mention the famous iron cavalry strong army in history, just the Ming army in the early Ming Dynasty that chased Mengyuan in the north could level these Tunguska people by pulling out any one of them. ）

The new army trained by Gaoyang brought nearly 40,000 people this time. The total number of dragoons was about five thousand, the 1857 type twelve-pounder field gun and the M1841 type six-pounder field gun. That is, the Great Napoleon and the Little Napoleon cannons totaled more than 150 pieces. The auxiliaries were about 10,000 people. Although they are auxiliary soldiers, they are also highly trained. Elite soldiers who also distribute weapons when they go into battle. As long as there is a need, it can be put into battle at any time. And the rest of the troops were all standard field infantry companies.

The infantrymen, armed with flintlock pistols, arranged themselves in tight squares according to their respective companies. After wading across the river. More than 20,000 musketeers lined up in a tight formation, and Abatai's eyelids jumped in the distance.

Abatai's two sons, Fuguo Gongbo and Totze, immediately came to Abatai's side, looked at the Ming army in the distance, and whispered, "Amma, the Ming army has not yet completed the formation, and the child led the team to rush over and attack it halfway." ”

Abatai was burly and strong, wearing a yellow battle armor, and the guards behind him held high a big flag with red borders on the emperor's background, riding on a war horse and looking at the Ming army in the distance, shaking his head slightly. whispered, "Something is wrong. This group of Ming soldiers is different from what we have encountered before. Stretching out his horsewhip, he pointed to the military formation in the distance, and whispered, "Look at it, the orders are neat, and the march is one." After the formation was formed, no one ran around, and no one made a loud noise. Where did the Ming army that I had seen before have such a thing? Just by looking at it, you know that it is not an ordinary weak brigade, how can your horse army assault be able to disrupt it? "Years of experience in battle formations have made Abatai keenly aware of a hint of danger.

"So let's just look at it? See that they all crossed the river and fought again? The shaved scalp asked. Now the Ming army is crossing the river, and the tactics of half-crossing and attacking are known to those who have a bit of brains. Just letting go of this good opportunity is indeed unwilling.

Abatai was silent, his bulls' eyes like bronze bells staring at Gao Yang's new army. The thick fingers tapped the saber again and again. After a while, his eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Let Wu Lihan take his people to rush to try the level of the Ming army and see if it is a false appearance." Let's not move yet. ”

Manchu and Mongolian goodwill is a national policy that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always flaunted. It's not that their relationship is good, on the contrary, the two sides used to fight each other. When Nurhachi first raised his army, he fought on all sides. There are countless enemies. After Huang Taiji came to power, in order to expand the living space of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the main target of the early stage was the last generation of Genghis Khan's tiger squatting rabbit. After several years of hard fighting, this Lin Dan Khan was destroyed. Only then did the Mongols be subdued.

The real reason is that there were too few people in the Manchus. Even before entering the customs, the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been greatly expanded, but the real adult bannermen were only in their early 100,000s.

In order to confront the Ming Dynasty, which had almost unlimited human resources, the Manchu Qing frantically co-opted the Mongolian tribes to suppress the Ming Dynasty. On weekdays, the treatment of the Mongols was naturally higher than that of the clothed minions, who were mainly Han Chinese and Koreans. But at this moment, Abatai wants to test the strength of Gao Yang's department, and those horseless coats naturally can't do it. And he didn't want his own flagmen to take risks, so naturally it was the turn of these second-class citizens to play. (To be continued)
