Chapter 360 Reorganization

The speed of news transmission in the capital was always so fast. After Yang Feng stayed in the palace for more than two hours, he returned to Jiangning Bo Mansion, and found that the news that he was going to go to war had reached the ears of his wife.

However, for Yang Feng's surprise, whether it was Hai Lanzhu, Zhezhe, Da Yuer, or even Zheng Tuan and Shiniang, they all acted very calmly and even looked natural, which made Yang Feng a little curious.

Yang Feng, who was a little puzzled, paid the public food to Da Yuer, Hai Lanzhu and Zhezhe's aunt and nephew, took advantage of the break to ask this question. Da Yuer gave the answer, "What's the matter? A man is like an eagle, born to soar in the sky. Only cowardly rabbits and sheep will shrink in the cave and sheep pen for the rest. You are the most brave general of the Ming Dynasty, so you should naturally fight on the battlefield. Isn't it normal to go out to fight now?"

Seeing that the three girls actually responded like this, Yang Feng, who was both relieved and a little unhappy, said angrily: "I thought you would be reluctant to leave me, and I still need some comfort. I think too much about my feelings."

"No." Zhezhe, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing when he saw his man's tasteful expression. She hugged his man from behind, leaned his head on his soft weapon, and comforted softly: "Honor, where have you thought about it? Our Mongolian women will not be like you Han women. Her husband will feel depressed as soon as they go out. In the eyes of our Mongolians, if a man does not go out to fight and fight, the tribe will have no slaves, no food, and new population. If the men always stay at home, then we will sooner or later be annexed by other tribes, so we have long been used to the battle."

"There is such a thing?" Yang Feng was a little stunned, but then he thought, it seemed that the nomadic peoples on the grassland were really like this. They were used to living by grassland and grew up on horseback. The harsh climate and environment also cultivated their fighting and brave character. People who are not fighting in this environment cannot survive. If you don't hit others, others will also hit you. This has also created a civilized and warlike atmosphere and character in the grassland. Mongolian women have long been accustomed to the life of their men going out for battle, so Yang Feng finally realized that he was thinking too much.

Seeing the depressed expression of his own man's rare sight, the three girls laughed. Hai Lanzhu, who was originally leaning against the bedside to rest, narrowed her big eyes and hugged Zhezhe from behind. Her snow-white body trembled with trembling smile. Under the candlelight in the room, it seemed like a huge pearl emitting dazzling light. Seeing our Yang Master Yang felt a small flame rising again.

"What a witch, how dare you laugh at your husband, come here to eat for your husband!"

Amid the laughter, Yang Daren rushed towards the three girls fiercely, and soon bursts of laughter and moans sounded in the room again...

After resting in the capital for a few days, Yang Feng bid farewell to the three daughters of Hai Lanzhu, and took Zheng Tuan, Shiniang and two daughters of Shiniang and 300 servants and left Beijing and came to Nanjing.

This time, Yang Feng went to Fujian. The three daughters of Hai Lanzhu, Zhezhe and Da Yuer were naturally not allowed to take them, because the imperial court had already stipulated that soldiers who went to the war could not carry their female relatives. The reason why Yang Feng could take Zheng Tuoni and Xian Niang to go to the war was still in the name of the medical camp. In previous battles, Yang Feng had deeply felt the great role of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the war period.

As soon as the drone is lifted, every move of the enemy within a radius of dozens of kilometers is under its sight. It is Yang Feng's clairvoyance and wind ears. With the drone beside him, Yang Feng doesn't have to worry about being ambushed and ambushed by a large number of enemy troops. Yang Feng will naturally not miss something like this. Zheng Tuoniang and Shiniang, as operators and observers, Yang Feng must be with him. After all, he can work during the day and be still at night... Cough cough, no one will let go of such a good thing.

With Zheng Tuoniang and three hundred servants, Yang Feng and his group finally arrived in Nanjing on the sixth day. Looking at the thick and towering walls of Nanjing, Yang Feng and others felt like they were in a different world.

The girl jumped to the city wall and pointed to the city wall excitedly, "Miss...Miss, look, we're seeing the city wall in Nanjing again!"

Although she had already made a living with Yang Feng, the straight girl still followed the previous name and called Zheng Tuoni as Miss.

Zheng Tuoniang looked at the city wall and murmured: "Yes... I finally saw the city wall of Nanjing again. Let's leave Nanjing for almost another year, right?"

In fact, it was not just Zheng Tuo Niang's daughter, but even Song Zhe and other servants who followed Yang Feng looked at the city wall not far away, and they showed emotion on their faces. They left Nanjing at this time last year. At that time, they thought that if they could go to Liaodong, they would have to bury their bones and the border would never come back in this life. Even if they could come back at least ten or eight years later, they would not expect that they would return to their hometown in just one year, which made them feel like they were dreaming.

Yang Feng looked back and saw the complicated emotions surged in the eyes of the servants behind him. Then he remembered that Song Ye and the servants were almost a year away from home like him. He smiled and said, "Okay, don't watch it anymore. I know you all miss your family. I will take your leave later. Go back and reunite with my family. Come and report to you in three days!"

A trace of struggle flashed in Song Ye's eyes, "Brother, our mission is to protect the safety of you and your wife. How can we all leave you and go back? Let the brothers go back first and wait for the villain to come home in a few days."

"What are you talking about!" Yang Feng laughed and scolded: "Do you need many guards to arrive at Jiangning Guard? You still need you idiots to protect? That's it. After returning to the Qianhu Station of Jiangdongmen, you will go back to your own house and find your mother, and you are not allowed to refuse!"

Seeing Yang Feng's firm expression, Song Ye and others bowed to thank their uncle, and then everyone's eyes flashed with excitement.

As Yang Feng's servants, Song Ye and his family paid the highest monthly salary for the entire Jiangning Army. As the strongest barrier to protect themselves and their family, Yang Feng naturally would not be stingy, and rewards were given every few days. Therefore, over the past year, Song Ye and other servants have saved up a considerable fortune. Although they know that Jiangningwei's life has been much better in the past two years, with the large-scale promotion of high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn, their family has long bid farewell to the hungry and cold days of the past, but people always hope that their relatives can live a better life. Since they have the money, they still have to buy some things for their family after they go back this time to make them happy.

Not far from Yang Feng's expectations, when Yang Feng returned to Jiangning Guard, the entire Thousand Household Office was sensational. All officers and officials at all levels who were left here rushed to the official residence to pay homage. Not only that, Yang Feng, thousands of households and officers from various Thousand Household Offices also rushed over. Seeing his subordinates flocked to him, Yang Feng, who was disturbed, had to order that he would hold a meeting on the garrison's school grounds in three days, and all officers of more than a hundred households would attend.

Three days later, on the Jiangning Guard's school ground, all officers from more than a hundred households gathered on the school ground, with three or four hundred people densely packed with three or four hundred people. Some of them followed Yang Feng in the fifth year of the Tianqi period, some of them joined the Jiangning Army later, and some even saw Yang Feng, the founder of the Jiangning Army for the first time.

When Yang Feng came to the high platform with Geng Bingyi, Chu Maoguang, Qi Yan, Gou Xingma, Yan Di, Guanghai, He Sheng, Xu Li, Cao Yingyu and other middle and senior officers, under the command of the star official, hundreds of officers on the school ground went to Yang Feng in one go and shouted loudly: "The last general (human vocational) and others, please see Bo Ye!"

Yang Feng also raised his right hand and returned the greeting, saying aloud: "Hello brothers! Take a break!"

"Crazy..."

The officers all stood still.

Looking at the soldiers' gazes, a sense of satisfaction arose from Yang Feng's heart. Just two years ago, he was still a worker at the bottom of modern society. After coming to the Ming Dynasty by accident, he had become an earl with heavy troops in this ancient empire, and the officers in front of him and tens of thousands of soldiers from Jiangning Guard were his greatest reliance.

In fact, today, power and money are no longer very attractive to Yang Feng. Now Yang Feng is thinking about whether he can do something for this crumbling empire.

In another historical time and space, the Ming Empire was already full of holes. The country's finances, land and rights were almost all concentrated in the hands of civil servants, landlords, gentry, and wealthy businessmen. The emperor's rights had been reduced to the extreme. In addition, the climate of the small glacier caused a large-scale grain harvest. Coupled with the over-extension and taxation of the government and landlords, it directly led to a large-scale peasant riot in the country. In addition, the continuous plunder of the Qing Dynasty outside the pass, the collapse of this ancient empire that lasted for nearly three hundred years.

Now Yang Feng just wants to try it out to see if he can pull this ancient empire back from the road of death. Although he knew it was difficult, he still wanted to give it a try.

"Brothers!" Yang Feng looked at the officer who was looking at him with either respect or curious eyes and shouted: "Brother Ben just received the imperial edict from His Majesty a few days ago. A few days ago, a group of bandits in Fujian were in trouble. A group of pirates led by Zheng Zhilong gathered tens of thousands of bandits to capture cities and plunder the land in Fujian, killing officers and soldiers and officials. The Fujian province has been decayed nearly half. Therefore, Your Majesty specially sent Ben Bo and our Jiangning Army to Fujian to suppress the rebellion."

While talking, Yang Feng observed everyone without blinking. What made him feel relieved was that when everyone heard that they were going to Fujian to quell the rebellion, the expressions they showed were not worry and fear but excitement. This also made Yang Feng nodded secretly in his heart, and was happy when he heard the war... The morale of the army was available!

"Brother Ben decided that this time, except for leaving a small number of troops as guards, most of the remaining troops will go out with Benbo. However, before that, I planned to reorganize all the troops of Jiangning Guard. Now the generals obey orders!"

"Crazy..."

All the officers became solemn, and even Geng Bingyi, Qi Yan and others showed surprise on their faces, because Yang Feng had never disclosed this news in advance, which made them feel caught off guard.

Yang Feng took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said loudly: "Since Ben has been appointed as the general of Nanjing, it is no longer suitable to continue to use the original Jiangning Guard's rank. After Ben Ben's careful consideration, he decided to reorganize the Jiangning Guard's sergeants. Now the reorganization is as follows!"

Because it was related to his future, all the officers held their breath when they heard this, and everyone looked at Yang Feng.

"After careful consideration, the Jiangning Army has been reorganized into three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, two cavalry battalions, and one medical battalion. The commander of the First Infantry Battalion Geng Bingyi, the commander of the Second Battalion Huang Zhenye, the commander of the Third Battalion Chu Maoguang, the commander of the Artillery Battalion Qiu Disheng. The commander of the First Cavalry Battalion Yang Daniu, and the commander of the Second Battalion Cao Yingqiao. All of the above commanders were awarded the rank of guerrilla generals."

Hearing this, all the people who were called the name lighted their eyes. You must know that the guerrilla general is a third-rank official position. If it weren't for the strict military discipline of the Jiangning army, these people would probably have cheered loudly.

Yang Feng's voice continued to resound: "The infantry battalion is all firearms, each battalion has 5,000 soldiers, the cavalry battalion has 4,500 troops, the number of artillery battalion is temporarily organized to 2,000 people, and the number of artillery battalion is to be determined. There are also the following battalion units..."

With the issuance of the order, the reorganization plan of the Jiangning Guard was in full swing. With the reorganization, the Jiangning Guard was renamed the Jiangning Army from then on, divided into three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion and two cavalry battalions, with a total of 26,000 troops. Of course, the Jiangning Guard was not revoked from then on. Yang Feng allocated the remaining part of the troops to four guard stations. The task of these people was to act as seeds of the Jiangning Army and cultivate a steady stream of junior soldiers for the Jiangning Army.

In this reorganization, the reorganization of the medical battalion is particularly eye-catching. Although the medical battalion has no combat effectiveness, it is very important to the combat effectiveness of the troops. This has been fully verified in previous battles. With the existence of the medical battalion, the death rate of the soldiers of the Jiangning Army has almost been reduced to a very low level. Yang Feng appointed Zhang Bailing as the commander of the medical battalion, which made everyone take for granted. While secretly shocked, the boss they followed was really unconventional in employing people.

The Jiangning Army, which had experienced several major wars, has experienced many battles. After several days of adjustment, the troops were quickly reorganized. At the same time, a series of preparations have been completed. It can be said that the army is ready to set off.
