A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 402: Using Troops in the North
Cao Wenzhao also got the news.

Seeing the brother troops around him receiving corresponding medals one after another, it would be a lie to say that he was not envious.

Now, he is also the commander of a cavalry regiment.

After all, he was once a commander, a good general who could command tens of thousands of troops. Yan Ling couldn't really let him start as an ordinary soldier. That would be too wasteful.

Otherwise, at his original age, he would actually have exceeded the age required for Dahua's conscription, and he would not even be able to pass the first level.

Soon after Cao Wenzhao entered the new military camp, he was selected to enter the officer school.

That is determined together with the assessment of officials and soldiers. In each class, outstanding people will be selected from the recruits to enter the officer academy.

However, the level of officer you can eventually become depends on your graduation grades. If your grades are too poor, you still have to start as a soldier.

But these are really a piece of cake for Cao Wenzhao.

After all, he had actually been on the battlefield.

……

Blood spilled.

He put down the order in his hand, his eyes bright.

The cavalry divisions of the Tenth Army stationed in North Zhili, as well as the cavalry divisions of several neighboring brother units, are all being mobilized and gathered.

Yan Ling gave it a special meaning, combining it with glory and merit, which is extremely attractive to soldiers.

When the Ming Dynasty in the south was plunged into chaos, the grasslands in the north were not peaceful either.

grassland.

The tribes of Oara are fighting against each other, competing for the area with the most fertile water and grass.

He didn't dare think about the title, but he was really jealous of this medal.

But it was too late when he joined the army, and the Tenth Army he was in had not participated in any major wars, so he had no share in promotions, bonuses, or knighthoods.

The fighting has been going on for several years.

I'm afraid there's going to be a big battle!

Cao Wenzhao is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

"Mobilization of troops?"

Fortunately, not long after, he got his chance.

Countless people were fighting and fighting.

His eyes lit up slightly.

The knights rode horses, wearing simple and even hole-in-the-wall armor, howling furiously.

Whether it was the written examination or the sand table deduction, he was the well-deserved first, so he became the battalion commander directly after graduation, and now he has become the regiment commander.

Hanging the musket on his waist, wiping the long knife until it shined, he walked out of the tent and shouted:
"Send the order, the whole group assembles."

The loser's body fell from the horse and turned into nourishment.

The former Jisu prefectures formed an alliance and elected the strongest governor of the Jisu tribe as the leader of this new tribe.

To the east, the Tatars who were driven to the White Mountains and Black Waters were also seeking to return.

It can be said that we are in a state of chaos now.

Otherwise, they would not have taken advantage of the situation when the Central Plains was in such turmoil. In fact, they themselves were also in chaos.

It was not that they did not want to take this opportunity to harass the Ming Dynasty during this period, but they were eyeing each other and restraining each other. There should not be too many troops going south, otherwise they would be easily stolen. This resulted in both Daming and Dashun being able to easily block them from the border.

Even the former Jizu tribes made several large-scale marches southward in the early stage, but they were soon forced to stop due to the loss of troops and the loss of generals, and because the Oara Tatars were watching behind them.

Now the south has basically become unified, but the conquests on the grasslands have not stopped.

Dahua does not intend to let this situation continue. In fact, the imperial court has long had the idea of ​​​​completely ending this battle that has lasted for hundreds of years.

When the north had just fallen into his hands, Yan Ling had already given priority to building a railway from the south to the border fortress.

That takes precedence over any project. As soon as the chaos in the Northland ended, the imperial court sent the best engineers to design the relevant roads, and a large number of prisoners of war and hired laborers were also prioritized to build this section of the railway. In addition, the intelligence department had previously The spies had already drawn the topographic map of the Northland in detail, so the process was very fast. Now it is basically completed and can be put into use.

Coupled with the canal that has been reopened, there will be no problems in transporting materials.

It can be said that this was the last straw for Dahua to decide to send troops to the grassland.

"Do you have the confidence to sweep the North Land for me?"

Yan Quan sat on the throne and looked at Yan Chengfang below. In addition to him, there were a large group of generals.

They will command Dahua's army and march straight to the grassland.

What they were about to face was the brave prairie cavalry. However, there was no fear in the eyes of the generals, only the desire for military success and the yearning to create a peaceful and prosperous era together.

"This time I will definitely reshape Wei Huo and open up thousands of miles of territory for our country."

Yan Chengfang said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Yan Quan was very satisfied with their answers. He took off his sword from his waist, then waved his hand, and the palace attendant immediately took it and walked solemnly in front of Yan Chengfang.

Yan Chengfang was stunned. Following Yan Quan's words, excitement gradually appeared in his eyes:
"This is my sword. I can't go into battle in person, so I give this to you to accompany you wherever you go."

"Below the fourth rank, you have the right to kill first and then report!"

"It's a journey of thousands of miles,"

He walked down slowly, held Yan Chengfang's hand, and said passionately:

"Mr. Cheng, you should take it very seriously. When you return from a great victory, I will personally greet you at the Meridian Gate."

The strong man in front of him was stunned for a moment, his lips trembled, and then he suddenly knelt down, raised the sword high above his head, and shouted:

"I will die for His Majesty!"

Yan Quan smiled and helped him up.

Yan Chengfang turned around, facing the generals behind him, and raised the imperial sword in his hands high with both hands.

The gilt trim of the scabbard shimmered in the sun, shining on the faces of the generals.

"I will never turn back to the north."

The sound shook the entire court.

The generals' eyes were burning with fire.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yan Ling's eyes brought a slight smile. The children of the past have also grown up.

Countless cavalry and infantry were gathering together, forming a mighty long dragon.

The door of the Great Wall suddenly opened, and the journey of thousands of miles began.

……

"Hua Jun...is here?"

When the leader of the Jisi State Alliance heard about it, he couldn't help but tremble in his hand holding the wine prince.

The Chinese army fought in the south and north without any defeat. Their opponents, Wang Chongzu and others were outstanding, and Lu Xiangsheng and others were also famous generals in the world.

But they were all defeated one by one.

Now, it is coming towards them.

"Inform the leaders of the ministries." He stood there for a moment, and these words came out of his lips.

"Now that the disaster is approaching, there must be no more internal fighting."
