Chapter 866: New Cavalry Battalion

Li Xiaoya has been promoted.

As the coolest among the Zhuifeng Camp and making great achievements in military affairs, he was appointed as the commander of the second cavalry battalion of the Ming Dynasty.

"I've finally made it happen." Holding the decree covered with the seal of the king, Li Xiaoya looked over and over again. Since an official from Eunuch Le's Ministry of War who read the decree left, his mouth never closed.

He had reason to be happy.

Li Xiaoya is from Yuejing City. She has a wealthy family. She not only has a lot of landlords, but also has a huge caravan. However, these have little to do with him, because his mother was just a girl his father favored after drinking, and she was not beautiful.

But this accident came Li Xiaoya. On top of him, there were two brothers and one sister.

Although the old man didn't like Li Xiaoya's mother, he was not bad for Li Xiaoya. After all, he was his own son and he didn't lack the cost on weekdays. When he was young, Li Xiaoya didn't read much. Every day he rode a horse with a group of pig friends to get furious. He had no choice but to practice riding skills and knowledge in the countryside.

It was not until he got older that he truly understood that his mother had no knowledge of being a girl, and his eldest grandmother had no intention of making such arrangements. When two brothers took over the land house and the other was in charge of the caravan, but he had nothing, he woke up.

But he didn't know anything, of course he couldn't do anything. As long as he didn't lack money, he didn't care much, but after a family dispute, when he saw his mother being ruthlessly whipped and humiliated by his big grandmother, he realized that his mother was not as good as the status of the big girls around his big grandmother in this family.

And I have been trained to become a fool by my big grandmother since I was young. One day my father is gone, I am afraid that my hard days will begin.

After discovering this, he finally woke up in anger, but he knew nothing except riding and force. At that time, the King's flag changed from the top of the capital, and the Mingxing was destroyed. When the Zhuifeng Camp began to be established and recruited soldiers, Li Xiaoya joined the army. He felt that he had no other way except to have a way out in the army.

Of course he is not Li Xiaoya, this name was chosen by him. He always reminded his mother that she is a little girl. She is still suffering in the Li family and is still standing in front of her big grandmother. She will be whipped and scolded at any time.

The Li family ignored Li Xiaoya's joining the army. Except for his mother's tears, the rest of the people were secretly happy. It would be best if this guy died on the battlefield.

If Li Xiaoya dies, there will naturally be one less contender for the family property, because after all, he is still the son of the old man who was recognized by this family. Even if the family property is small, it is impossible to distinguish it at all. If he dies, there will naturally be no need to divide this share. What's even better is that if one of his family dies in battle, he will be loyal to the country and there will be plaques on the gate. Such plaques are of no use to ordinary families, but for wealthy families like them, the meaning will be different.

Li Xiaoya's riding skills and insights were a treasure for the cavalry battalion, which was extremely lacking in talents at that time. Even though he was a fool in the eyes of his family, he was born in a wealthy family and what he saw and heard was still not on the same level as ordinary people. As soon as such a guy entered the training camp, he naturally immediately showed his mastery style.

Starting from a soldier, when he walked out of the training camp, he was already the captain of a hundred people. After four years, he walked from a soldier to the position of cavalry commander.

The cavalry commander general was already the first-class general in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Fengfeng Camp, although Li Xiaoya was promoted step by step, he never revealed any news to his family, and the family did not care about this fool. In their opinion, this guy was lucky. He was still alive after four years, and that was all.

The only person who has feelings for Li Xiaoya is her mother, but in the letter to her, she will not talk about her promotion, but will only tell her mother that he is still alive, that's it.

Yesterday you ignored me, but today I made you unable to stand up.

This time, not only was I promoted, but I also rewarded hundreds of acres of land for my military achievements. The location is in Yiyang. After everything settled down, I could take my mother out of that family, settle down in Yiyang, start a family and start a business, and let my mother, who has been angry all her life, live the addiction of a big grandmother.

Li Xiaoya was filled with tears in her eyes. Looking at her personal soldiers, he waved the letter of appointment and shouted loudly: "Brothers, remember, my real name is Li Mingfeng."

A personal soldier coughed, "General, your name is Li Xiaoya on the letter of appointment."

This name once made Li Xiaoya’s colleagues in the cavalry battalion laugh at her for a long time.

After hearing this, Li Xiaoya was stunned. She held the letter of commission and looked carefully. Then she realized that she was actually called Li Xiaoya on the military list of the Ministry of War.

"This is not a problem. After the time of work, I will report and change the name." He smiled. "Now, we are going to find General Yu. I want to build a new cavalry battalion, but it cannot be separated from General Yu's support."

The excited Li Xiaoya arrived at Yu Chao's central army camp excitedly, but he couldn't laugh immediately.

Yu Chao is ready to split up.

"Four lieutenants, I have prepared for you as directed by the Ministry of War." Yu Chao looked at Li Xiaoya with a smile, "You can take away 500 of the 1,000 cavalry under your command. Of course, I have prepared 3,000 war horses for you. The rest, you have to wait for the superiors to reequip you, but your cavalry battalion is newly built, and I think 3,000 war horses are enough."

"Five hundred people?" Li Xiaoya looked at Yu Chao in a daze: "General Yu, how can this work? You have to give me two thousand people, so I can set up the airs. What can I do with five hundred people? There are five thousand people in our Zhuifeng Camp now."

Li Xiaoya, who walked out of the recruit camp, knew of course how hard it was to train a qualified cavalry. He witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.

"Two thousand people? Brother, are you right?" Yu Chao laughed. "The Ministry of War said it very clearly. I just asked me to equip you with enough officers, but I didn't say I could give you enough troops. I asked you to take away five hundred people. I think that our brothers have fought together for several years."

"General Yu, I will follow the army to Zhaoguan next. What's the point of being 500 people? "Li Xiaoya was in great pain. Yu Chao grabbed the loophole in the orders of the superiors. Zhuifeng Camp was the result of Yu Chao's efforts. He was naturally unhappy to cut flesh on him, but there were too few 500 people.

"Brother, what's going on next battle? You and I know in our hearts that there is a big battle. You are amazing. You are chasing the defeated soldiers and suppressing the mob. What do you need to do to have so many mature cavalry? It's just right. I'll give you a chance to train troops." Yu Chao hugged Li Xiaoya's shoulder and smiled treacherously: "I'm different. This time I'm going to lead troops to Kaiping County soon. Next, we have to deal with the Qin people. I really don't have time to train troops. Of course, I have to bring more people. You can't watch my brother and I go to the other side to lose!"

Li Xiaoya was so angry that she said nothing. Yu Chao was his boss and she had always said nothing about him. Even if she was an equal commander general with him now, in the army, she was once his subordinate and promoted by him. This relationship would never change in her life. In front of him, she could only stand and listen.

"Stop glaring at me, horses, supplies, and weapons, I've prepared it for you." Yu Chao knew that he could eat this guy, who made him promote it by himself. "Take your people to take over these things immediately. Since the new cavalry battalion has been officially established, don't rely on my Fengfeng Camp. Hurry up and set up a new camp. I think the most important thing for you now is recruiting soldiers. No, I have prepared the four lieutenants under you. They are all good friends who are familiar with you. How about it, I, Yu Chao, are you loyal enough! By the way, have you figured out the name of your cavalry battalion? Do you want me to think of one with you?"

"I have reported it, my cavalry battalion is called Qifeng!" Li Xiaoya said with a weak energy.

Five hundred cavalry, three thousand war horses, four bare captains, and the second cavalry unit of the Ming Dynasty were established in such a miserable way. In Li Xiaoya's opinion, this was extremely miserable, but Yu Chao's opinion, it was much better than he was back then. When he was planning to build the Fengfeng Camp, not to mention three thousand war horses, he didn't even get a thousand.

As for recruiting soldiers, it is not a difficult task in Yiyang. There are some guys here who have no food to eat. As long as they are given a bowl of food and keep the number of people they need. Of course, how to train these people into qualified cavalry is Li Xiaoya's business. When he was practicing cavalry, weren't those guys even not even able to ride horses? There are very few guys like Li Xiaoya. The battle of Qi has basically ended. There should be a few years of calm next, and there is no trouble here. This time, His Majesty sent his Feng Zhuang Camp to the Kaiping War Zone, which is really a great deal. The next step is to do something about Qin. Where can I have my own place to use it. The iron cavalry of the Qin border army has been destroyed, but they still have the Thunder Army. That is the royal personal army. If you get rid of them, you will feel a sense of accomplishment.
