Ming politicians

() Fan Jingwen and the others were shocked when they saw the team in white clothes approaching.

He also saw Su Tiancheng's memorial, and felt that it was a huge victory. The two thousand soldiers led by Su Tiancheng had less than 500 casualties, but they wiped out six thousand bandits, beheaded more than two thousand people, and captured one alive. There were more than a thousand people, but less than 2000 escaped, and the leader of the bandits, Lao Hui, committed suicide. Such a brilliant victory was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary troops.

With such a huge victory, why are the teams all dressed in white?

Fan Jingwen somewhat understood why the Jiangning Battalion had such unusual combat power. Perhaps their respectful attitude towards ordinary sergeants could explain a lot of problems.

Seeing Fan Jingwen and others, Su Tiancheng dismounted quickly and stepped forward.

"Su Tiancheng, magistrate of Jiangning County, pay my respects to your lord."

"Mianli, Mr. Su, the emperor is very happy to have wiped out the rogue old Huihui. The imperial edict has arrived. You can follow me to the Ministry of War to receive the order. By the way, please come to the Ministry of War to receive the order with the county lord."

"The subordinate obeys the order."

Outside the imperial city, the banquet has already been set.

Su Tiancheng and Zhu Shenxin entered the lobby of the Ministry of War and knelt down to receive the imperial edict.

Zhu Shenxin was conferred the title of Madam Gaoming, which Su Tiancheng did not expect. According to the rules, Zhu Shenxin is the head of the county, her status is not ordinary, relatives of the emperor, it is very difficult for her to be conferred the title of Madam Gaoming. Now, Being the county lord and the imperial wife, her status has become more and more noble.

After the decree was announced, Fan Jingwen talked with Su Tiancheng for a long time, but no one participated in this conversation.No one knows what they talked about.

Guarding eunuch Qin Sande.He was very happy. After arriving in Nanjing, he gave Su Tiancheng the greatest support. The emperor appreciated him very much. He had already issued a secret decree to praise him several times. Following this trend, the next step.It is not difficult to return to the Supervisor of Rituals and serve as the eunuch of the palm seal.

Zhang Taining was completely shocked. If we say that the last time, Su Tiancheng led the sergeants of the Jiangning Battalion, including the sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion and Anqingwei, defeated more than [-] bandits led by Zijinliang.There was still the suddenness of the sneak attack, but this time, it was a completely head-on confrontation, with two thousand sergeants facing six thousand bandits, without the slightest opportunism.Total shopping.From this, it can be seen how terrifying the fighting power of the Jiangning Battalion is.He came from a family of military generals, he knew the combat effectiveness of the army, and he had seen the battle report.Seeing the heavy losses of the Xiaoqi Battalion, I also understand.Why is the wedding team all dressed in white?

In Zhang Taining's impression, the one who can have such a brave fighting power is the Man Ba ​​Banners of Hou Jin. In the field battle, the Ming army met Man Ba ​​Banners, and there was no chance of winning. Man Ba ​​Banners were not good at attacking cities. I don't know how the battle in the north is going.

He couldn't help secretly guessing what would happen if Jiang Ningying met Man Baqi.

In the Jiangning camp, all the remains of the soldiers who died in battle were brought back and buried together. The family members of the soldiers were also invited to the barracks to send them off for the last time. Incineration, Su Tiancheng refused.

The family members of the fallen soldiers can receive a pension of 100 taels of silver. The official land they rent and plant will be exempted from all taxes. For three years, all the harvest on the land will be their own.

The soldiers who died in the Jin Palace were also buried. From this day on, they have a new identity, they are also soldiers of the Jiangning Camp.

The clerk of the Jiangning Battalion recorded the list of all the soldiers who died in battle, including their personal circumstances. These were all requested by Su Tiancheng, and these records must be carefully preserved for all soldiers to look up to.

This is an incentive that has never been done before, an incentive to leave a name in history. Just imagine, in any dynasty or generation of ordinary soldiers, after being killed in battle, they will leave their names. The general's reputation, but in the Jiangning camp, the situation is different. Ordinary sergeants, after being killed in battle, also have to leave their names.

After attending the funeral, the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion are about to go back.

Su Tiancheng took out 500 taels of gold and handed them over to the returning guards. Among them, apart from the pension for the dead guards, the remaining silver taels, each of the guards could get one tael of gold.

The Xiaoqi Battalion, which was already full, was short of personnel after this fierce battle.

The recruitment of Liu Shiliang, Luo Chang, Ma Huabiao, and Liu Tiehan is basically over.

Because of Su Tiancheng's big wedding, this matter was naturally delayed. The recruitment of sergeants definitely required Su Tiancheng's nod. The more soldiers, the greater the expenditure. Don't underestimate the expenditure of the Jiangning Camp, it is an astronomical figure. The two camps in Nanjing did not have such a large expenditure. If Su Tiancheng hadn't thought of a way, it would definitely be impossible to maintain.

After nearly two months of assessment and recruitment work, 9000 recruits entered the barracks, and with the addition of [-] guards from the Jin Palace, the number of soldiers in the Jiangning Battalion has reached about [-].

Although the number of people has increased, the combat effectiveness still needs to be greatly improved.

Especially for the sergeants selected this time, Su Tiancheng was not very satisfied. These people used to be rogues, and they fought well. The disadvantages are also very obvious, even somewhat fatal.

Most of these sergeants were rebellious soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Because of the payment arrears, the embezzlement and exploitation of superior officers, etc., they rebelled and became the main force of the rogues. There is indeed a big problem. Random looting and random killing are normal for them.

After Yingshan's defeat, these sergeants had undergone great psychological changes, probably because they had suffered too much torture, they seemed a little timid, and there was no blood on their bodies, and no fighting spirit.

These are things that Su Tiancheng cannot tolerate.

In his mind, the Jiangning Camp must be a well-disciplined army. The situation between the army and the people is very necessary. This is the source of the army's strength. Only with the support of the people can the army be maintained for a long time.

Conquest is only one aspect, just winning, even if you are invincible in the world, it will not work.

Brutal training, exercise is physique, know how to be grateful, understand why you fight, it is possible to cultivate sergeants who are not afraid of death, and cultivate an army that can beat the world.

The tentative establishment of the Jiangning Battalion is 1000 people, the Xiaoqi Battalion, Qianfeng Battalion, Jianrui Battalion, Infantry Battalion, and Shenji Battalion all have 2000 people, and the Scout Battalion has 1000 people. Of course, as time goes by, sergeants The number of soldiers will also change, and after a short time, the Jiangning Camp will definitely undertake many conquest tasks.

Su Tiancheng didn't have that much time to waste.

Sun Chuanting, Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang, Luo Chang, Ma Huabiao, Liu Tiehan and others looked at Su Tiancheng, and they already knew that Su Tiancheng was not very satisfied with the sergeants recruited this time.

Here, Sun Chuanting appears to be more casual, and his status is a bit special. As a consultant, he mainly puts forward some opinions and suggestions, and will not intervene in the specific matters of Jiangning Camp for the time being. The rest are different. The rise and fall of Jiangning Camp has a great relationship with them. relationship.

"You all know that I am not very satisfied with the sergeants recruited this time. Although these people still have combat effectiveness, they may be able to gallop on the battlefield after a period of training, but is this enough? No, so I hope you can keep in mind what I said today, this is the most important purpose of the Jiangning Camp."

"The military regulations of the Jiangning Battalion are neither lax nor meticulous. On the surface, they look very good, but what is the real cohesion is not these rigid military regulations, but beliefs."

"Faith is a bit ethereal when you say it, and it's hard for everyone to understand for a while. Let me give you the simplest example. Why did the soldiers of Jiangning battalion go to war, why did they kill the enemy without thinking about their own lives? Apart from the honor of the soldiers and the honor of the Jiangning Battalion, isn't there anything else?"

"The situation is definitely not like this. Let's talk about the treatment of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion. Looking at the army of the Ming Dynasty, who can meet such standards. The care and care of the soldiers and their families must be meticulous. This is the simplest truth. Faith requires Rely on material to support, need to rely on care to support."

"This is my personal understanding, and it is also what Jiangning Camp must do. No matter how difficult it is, the treatment of soldiers must be implemented in place. No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor. Soldiers and their families must be proud of them."

"We have done all of this, and we also require our soldiers to do a lot of things."

"Today I will say one of the most important things. From now on, all the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp must establish a point of view. The common people are our parents, and we must not harm the interests of the common people. If the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp do evil and bully others , It must be done with military law, no matter who is involved.”

"To give a simple example, our Jiangning battalion was ordered to go to war. Everywhere we went, we were not allowed to expropriate the money and food of the people, and we were not allowed to enter the houses of the people, and we were not allowed to fight or insult women. There are knives in the sky, and you have to stay outside the house honestly..."

. . . . . .

Sun Chuanting's eyes widened. This was the first time he had heard of such a point of view. When the imperial army went to war, they all asked the common people to make contributions. Everyone also believed that wars were originally for the common people and asked the common people to make contributions. , It's a matter of course, I didn't expect Jiang Ningying to have such a request.

This is a brand-new concept, not to mention Sun Chuanting, even Sun Yuankun and others feel that it is a bit incomprehensible, but after Su Tiancheng said it, they must do it. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
