Chapter 116

Brother Gao and his party came to the school field outside the camp on horseback, and immediately got off their horses. A general in armor saw him and trotted over, "See the captain for humble rank!"

Gao Yihuan threw the whip to Zhao Zhuzi, and then glanced at the soldiers on the school field. Thousands of men in padded jackets of various colors were punching "hehehaha" on the school field. They looked a little better and more energetic than when they were recruited. a little.

Brother Gao now has enough money and food, but there are some things, such as cotton armor, firecrackers, etc., even if he has money and food, he can't get them together for a while.

Making armor and making blunderbuss, these relatively complicated things require division of labor and cooperation. There must be cotton producing areas, looms, and skilled workers. The acquisition of iron nails is not easy, and it requires the cooperation of a trade and industrial network. Can.

In the past, the second brother had few troops, and he could get some weapons and armor through Zhou Ronghua, which could satisfy his subordinates' equipment. Now that there are many others and the demand is too much, it is impossible to fully equip the team by reselling supplies.

The second brother Gao took a look at the school grounds, and he was quite satisfied with the new recruits, but there was no uniform armor, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He always felt irregular, amateurish, and bandit-like.

Before occupying a small county in Luyi, there were not enough manpower and material resources, so when one thing was done, there was no time for the next one.

Now that Runing has been taken, plus Chenzhou and Xiangcheng, the land is large and the population is large, so we can divide labor and cooperate. Brother Gao looked at the soldiers and said in his heart: "It seems that we must hurry up to arrange smelting and cotton cloth purchases, and wait for the preparations." After the raw materials are prepared, it’s time to recruit some craftsmen to make armor and cannon.”

At this moment, the second elder brother came back to his senses, and seeing the general saluting, he couldn't help reaching out his hand to support Jin Shenghuan, "Tiger Minister, don't need to be too polite!"

After speaking, the second elder brother pointed to the soldiers in the school field, and then praised, "I think the new soldiers are trained very well!"

The general in charge is Jin Shenghuan, he is the highest-ranking general of the Ming army besides Hu Dawei.

This time, Second Brother Gao had nearly [-] soldiers from the Zuo Army, and Jin Shenghuan had a high prestige among them. Second Brother was afraid that he would overwhelm him, so he didn't let him continue to lead the army, but asked him to train new soldiers.

Jin Shenghuan still wanted to lead troops, but the Captain Gao in front of him seemed to have an opinion on Zuozhen. Zuozhen accounted for about [-]% of the strokes, but the officers were basically not reused. Almost everyone gets promoted.

"The captain is just joking, the lowly position is a veteran who has been in the army for many years. If two thousand melon eggs can't be trained well, what face is there to stay in the captain's army?" Jin Shenghuan glanced at the second brother Gao, then cupped his hands and said.

Brother Gao could hear what he meant. He said that he had been in the army for many years, and he was training here, so he was overqualified.

"Hahaha~ Huchen's ability, the governor knows well." Gao Yihuan laughed a few times, but suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How is the reorganization of the new recruits? Is the system complete?"

Jin Shenghuan was a little disappointed seeing Second Brother Gao change the subject, but he still clasped his fists and said, "The airs have been set up, but the officers are not in place yet."

Brother Gao actually knows this point. His team has expanded too fast. After going around this time, there are 6000 more people. The number of officers must not keep up. There is a huge shortage of generals.

Regarding this group of left soldiers, Brother Gao's current attitude is to feed them with delicious food and drink, but he will not reuse them. At least he will not consider using them until his descendants are established and have a solid foundation.

Second Brother Gao nodded slightly. Now that the power is young, he really lacks everything. It seems that he still needs to set up a lecture hall.

"Let's go, let's go to the school grounds!" Second Brother Gao waved his hand and stepped forward. Zhao Zhuzi and others led their horses to follow.

The second brother has been busy recently, but as long as he has time, he will come to the camp to show his face and let the soldiers know his existence.

At this time, except for more than a thousand elite soldiers inside and outside Runing City, the rest of the troops camped outside the city.

More than 3000 surrendered troops and more than 2000 new troops set up two camps. Large tents spread all over the wilderness, and they were surrounded by fences to form two large circles.

In order to reduce the time needed to build the camp, the school site was directly chosen in the wilderness outside the camp, and only a simple stand was set up, with no fence around it.

When Gao Yihuan led the crowd over, the soldiers were still punching and practicing. Jin Shenghuan stepped forward to give the order, and the two thousand recruits stopped, and then gathered together, the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

These people are local farmers in Runing, they got ten acres of land when they first joined the army, and in the camp, they had enough white flour steamed buns and Henan big pancakes every day, so they naturally supported Gao Yihuan very much.

Although the combat power of the soldiers is far stronger than this new army, but Brother Gao is afraid that they will get the bad habit of surrendering soldiers, so he would rather leave the officer's seat empty than send the soldiers as officers.

At this time, Second Brother Gao looked at the new recruits rushing to the front of the stage, and then waved his hands, and the soldiers who had trained for more than ten days immediately fell silent.

It can be seen that Jin Shenghuan's ability is indeed stronger than his generals.

"Brothers are all from Henan. Everyone is very clear about the current situation in Henan. If you don't want Ru Ning to become like Kaifeng, you don't want your land to be taken back, you don't want to have heavy taxes, and you don't want your family to be displaced. , then give me a good training. In the future, I will definitely lead you to make some achievements and create a peace."

Brother Gao still didn't say anything about national righteousness, but the new recruits below cheered together, "Make some achievements, make a peace."

Jin Shenghuan was a little surprised when he heard Gao Yihuan's words, the thief general in front of him was indeed not an ordinary person, he dared to say anything.

"Make meritorious deeds and make peace", he, a captain, dared to say these words, and it made goose bumps all over his old fritters, and his heart boiled for a while.

Amidst the cheers, Second Brother Gao nodded in satisfaction, and prepared to go to the Jiangjun Camp to take a look as well.

At this time, in the distant wilderness, a dozen or so cavalrymen suddenly appeared. They were dressed in various armors, and their equipment was very chaotic. Each of them rode a horse and led a horse. The battalion is several miles away.

"Second brother, look over there!" Zhao Zhuzi noticed the situation and said anxiously to Gao Yi who turned around and was about to leave.

Second Brother Gao hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that this cavalry was like a pack of wolves in the field, watching them from a distance, he couldn't help being startled, and felt a crisis in his heart.

The second brother frowned and squinted at the cavalry in the distance for a while, but the distance was too far to see the identity of the other party, so he waved to Zhao Zhuzi and said, "Zhuzi, order the cavalry to take a look."

The Gaojun cavalry who were practicing riding in the distance had already noticed a small group of cavalry outside the camp, so they all stopped training and looked at the cavalry from a distance.

Here Zhao Zhuzi got on his horse, passed the order in person, and then led more than 100 riders and galloped to watch the team pass by.

The team of more than ten cavalrymen faced more than 100 cavalry without any fear. It was not until Zhao Zhuzi led nearly a hundred cavalry within a hundred paces that they grabbed the reins and prepared to retreat.

However, the leading cavalry saw clearly that the approaching people were not officers, so they let go of the reins and let Zhao Zhuzi and others approach.

Gao Yihuan watched the situation in the distance, and after a while, he saw Zhao Zhuzi galloping back, got off his horse, gasped, and said, "Second brother, you are the scout of King Chuang. The leader of the scout said that King Chuang defeated the army in the north of Yuzhou and chased him down." After more than four hundred li, the officers and soldiers returned to the division to collect food, and they have already descended to Nanyang, and are about to march into Runing."

When the second brother Gao heard the words, his expression immediately became serious~
