"Li Zicheng?"

Yang Xin looked at the young man in front of him with interest.

He is still on the Yuhua Platform at this moment.

The war here has ended. After Zhang Mingzhen's Guards surrendered, a few remaining generals who were still fighting stubbornly were quickly submerged by the soldiers who turned against each other. At this time, they had already begun to clean the battlefield. As for their specific number, they are not yet known.

But it should not be less than 60,000.

Previously, the real Datong Army under Zhang Mingzhen's troops was 70,000. As for the remaining 30,000, the group training group was pieced together by the gentry in this area, these did not really participate in the attack...

They are equivalent to auxiliary soldiers.

Transportation, manufacturing engineering equipment, digging trenches and other tasks.

The real Datong Army was 70,000 casualties, and nearly 50,000 defectors. Together with almost 10,000 auxiliary soldiers who turned against each other, the Datong Army still had to be considered as the Datong Army who fled, but there were no brigade-level complete system escapes, and basically they were generals and personal soldiers breaking through. At present, the Datong Army has expanded to a total of twelve armies, and there are seven armies outside Nanjing City. Generals at the brigade level and above are all children of large families, and the battalion level belongs to the clan's near branch. Only those below the whistle level are truly mercenaries.

Just like group training.

The same is true for the group training of the Ever Victory Army.

However, because they are small in size, they are at the first level of the team, and they must have a clan background above the whistle.

The army formed by the gentry cannot be truly mercenary, it must be controlled by the clan system, and they cannot be united by faith. They must adopt the clan cohesion, and even the various armies are divided into regions. In this way, the officers of the aristocratic families and large clans lead a group of personal soldiers, mainly composed of clans, usually the most elite cavalry, and then control the places where the war is really in the recruitment.

The senior generals of the large aristocratic family, the intermediate generals of the small aristocratic family, the local tenants and serfs act as cannon fodder, and the orders from the army were ordered to go up and down. The disobedient people of the army rented good land at home was gone.

When the generals were really in danger, they ran away quickly under the protection of their personal soldiers...

It is no different from the Ming army in the past.

If this system had not been encountered by Yang Xin, a person who played a big killer, would have been very effective in the feudal era. After all, the system of clans and villages was far more united than simply recruiting troops.

It’s not that the gentry doesn’t work hard, it’s because the enemy is too strong.

After the large-scale defection on the front line began and spread rapidly, the clear-headed generals knew that they were unable to turn the world back, and then they abandoned the army and fled. Only those who were still trying to save the defeat were caught in it, and those who died in the beatings of the defeated soldiers were captured.

In the end, this battle added 50,000 regular troops to Yang Xin who had received Morris training, and 10,000 auxiliary troops who could fight but lack formal training. In addition, he is currently in Nanjing, he already has 120,000 soldiers who can fight here alone. There are more than 10,000 bandits in Wuxi and 50,000 loyal and brave troops in Zhaoyi City, which means that he already has 180,000 troops in his hand. If he is willing, he can quickly expand to 200,000. As long as these 180,000 troops cross the Yangtze River and take Fengyang over.

Two hundred thousand army!

Although the integration has not been completed yet, the foundation has been laid.

All are Morris system.

Musket wheel shooting, spear formations, and even cavalry were better than the Morris system, and there were more artillery. At this time, the proportion of artillery in the European army was not even higher than that of the Datong Army. In addition to Sweden, there were probably no special field artillery of the regiment-level three-jin cannon.

Such a 200,000 army is at the level of sweeping the world even if it is placed in Europe.

There were only tens of thousands of people in the battle of Lu Cen!

Rebellion is enough.

So, rebel or not?

This question is very confusing.

Governor Yang, who was worried about whether he was a traitor, looked at the number one traitor in history in front of him. Xiao Li was still very young at this time and looked about twenty years old. He was not handsome, at least he was still a big difference compared to Governor Yang.

"Your nephew is Li Jin, right? I remember he mentioned it to me before."

Yang Xin said.

"Go back to Mr. Dad, that's right."

Li Zicheng said carefully.

He didn't know that the man in front of him was fighting between the traitor and the loyal ministers.

"I just like young people like you. Li Jin is also a powerful general. Last time, he killed several enemy troops alone on the battlefield. Since you are his uncle and have captured Qian Ni alive, then stay with me as a personal soldier and see your performance later."

Yang Xin said.

Li Zicheng quickly thanked him excitedly.

He knew very well that being a personal soldier would mean a bright future.

"As for you, I will join all the people you brought into the army, and I will give you a brigade commander, and add a brigade to you."

Yang Xin said to Luo Rucai.

The latter was equally excited to thank him.

He was originally the commander of the sentry, but he was directly promoted to the brigade commander. You should know that his group of people are currently the highest, but he has already entered the ranks of senior generals.

Yang Xin immediately asked them to take their subordinates to the city first. As for Qian Qianyi and the others, there was no need to pay attention to that. They were ready to dig bird droppings, and they could not dig on Diaoyu Islands, as there were enough people there, so the next newcomers had to dig in the Dongsha Islands. Moreover, there was still freshwater on the Dongsha Islands. Although this freshwater is said to be not suitable for drinking, it is nothing to do with Yang Xin. If you can't drink it, or if you can't drink it all at once, his clutch can go there.

At most, build a few more water cellars to stock up on some rainwater.

The ones dug on this island can be supplied to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After this round of expansion, there will definitely be a lot of people ready to go. It is probably enough. In the future, we have to prepare to deliver them to the Xisha Islands.

Moreover, there is freshwater in the Xisha Islands...

What? Fresh water in the Xisha Islands is not suitable for drinking?

It’s enough to drink it for a year or two. It’s said that the Japanese army has given the coolies on the island.

But Zhang Mingzhen doesn't have to go.

Digging bird droppings is the job of great scholars, and their value is worthy of being with bird droppings, but for Zhang Mingzhen, who can fight like this...

Of course, it cannot be stormed.

Yang Xin has better arrangements for those of them.

Governor Yang is like a black-hearted businessman. He always likes to squeeze the value to the cleanest. Even if the enemy is killed, it is impossible to create value. So he decided to exile these people, but not to exile to the Hot Island or Taiwan, but to exile directly to Nanyang.

The plan to colonize Nanyang must be launched.

Although it is too far to grab another place, there is one place that is very suitable, that is, the Mekong Delta.

It is still in a state where it is hard to say who it belongs.

In theory, it belongs to Cambodia.

However, the Phnom Penh Dynasty only took Dongsari Lake as its core and was not very concerned about the Saigon area.

Champa in the north has become a vassal of the Ruan family, but the Ruan family cannot pass them to Saigon after all.

Modern Saigon was actually built by Chinese people.

Chen Shangchuan and others who fled there after the defeat in the late Ming Dynasty, including the Mo family in Hexian, were all in similar situations. Han people who were unwilling to be slaves in our Qing Dynasty. The Mo family stood on the south bank of the Mekong River for a hundred years like a prince. Our Qing envoys returned and said that they seemed to have returned to the previous dynasty. Chen Shangchuan and others established a new home in the Mekong Delta and obtained support by relying on the Ruan family. In the end, the city of Saigon began to rise truly, but at present, it can only be said to be a border area of ​​the Phnom Penh dynasty, and there were a small number of Vietnamese who fled there.

So it's very suitable for colonization.

Just build a fortress there and then you can immigrate to plant rice.

It’s three years old!

Although the yield is not as good as that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the yield gap is not worth mentioning under the power of three ripe one year.

Then the surplus grain there is transported back to the country.

However, at the beginning of its establishment, sufficient force must be needed. Although there is no strong regime, the local residents will not welcome it. Even the Phnom Penh Dynasty will not allow a piece of land that originally belonged to it to be taken away by others. Even if the land belongs to a remote border region, it is its own. It is impossible to give it to others casually. Therefore, Yang Xin needs a group of cannon fodder for colonial development.

Zhang Mingzhen is undoubtedly very suitable.

Later, all the captive generals of the Datong Army and those who could fight in the aristocratic families were arrested and he led the command to Saigon.

In exchange for pardon for colonies.

As long as you grab the place and stay there for a certain period of time, you can get pardons, including Shen Tingyang, and their families can stay in the country as hostages, so you don’t have to worry about them running away. In short, either fight for the Ming Dynasty colonial development, or the whole family is implicated, and they can also be allowed to own industries in the colony. Don’t they all like land? Go, the land they are all theirs, and Governor Yang will never worry about it. Even if they can open one million acres, they will follow their wishes.

That's all.

Governor Yang will arrange these people clearly.

As for those soldiers who fell into the city, they could just go back to the military camps that were originally outside the city, and then reorganize them. At this time, his organization was similar to that of the Datong Army, so the reorganization of these people was very simple. The officers were still based on his arrangement, and he appointed them above the whistle commander, and then he appointed them at the whistle commander. The soldiers below the whistle commander were temporarily elected and appointed. The instructor was assigned to the whistle level, and then there was an indispensable complaint meeting. This must be available.

Basically, after this, the army will be completely reborn.

Then he took them across Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As for the fact that they didn't need them to play before this, there was no need for this army around Nanjing like Taiping Prefecture. After this battle, it was basically just accepted to the west of Taihu Lake and north of the southern Anhui mountainous areas.

The troops in Nanjing are enough.

"Huaiyuan Hou, why did Yaxing come out?"

Yang Xin shouted.

Chang Yinxu was walking in a daze on the battlefield that was still messy. From time to time, there were soldiers beside him who looked up at the strange old man in confusion.

"Duke Yingguo, it seems like a dream!"

He said.

But he didn't look up.

"A nightmare or a good dream?"

Yang Xin said.

"It depends on what Duke Yingguo will do in the future. Duke Yingguo, have you figured out how to go in the future?"

Chang Yinxu raised his head and said.
Chapter completed!
