Donkey Dan was appointed commander of the Shuangchengzi training base.
He is very familiar with the training of servants. Yang Fan didn’t bring too many people with him this time. Let Lu Dan lead a servant camp as an instructor. Organize and train the people who are arriving one after another from the East China Sea Jurchens.
These savages don't know how to fight formally. They fight in a swarm and in a chaotic manner. If Yang Fan wants to use them, he must train the queue and commands. By the way, upgrade their weapons.
Yang Fan seized hundreds of thousands of Mongolian tendon-horn composite bows. Give each of them a handful.
Most of the Mongolian arrows were made of stones and bones, and Yang Fan had no need for such rubbish. They were simply distributed to the Jurchen soldiers in the East China Sea, and the rest was left to the Sauron soldiers.
Mongolian bows are much better than theirs. These people are all natural hunters, and they are more skilled in using bows and arrows than Jiannu, but they don't have good bows and arrows.
They don’t raise cattle here, and they don’t have the materials for sinew and angle composite bows. Only single bows can be made.
Now they are equipped with good Mongolian bows and arrows, and their archery skills have immediately improved a lot.
Each person was given 200 of these bone and stone arrowheads, and Yang Fan was given an additional 300 steel arrowheads. These steel arrows can penetrate Jiannu's triple armor at fifty meters. This makes these savages even more powerful.
Yang Fan sent a telegram and asked Tianjin to urgently send three ships of weapons and armor by clipper ship. Five hundred of the obsolete Franco machine guns and general cannons were also transported. Ten thousand barrels of gunpowder and lead bullets were delivered. Seven thousand muskets of all kinds. These muskets are all obsolete. Most are fire gate guns.
The Ming Dynasty had a lot of broken guns, and Yang Fan got all these obsolete muskets. It is better to give the equipment to the savages to build slaves than to throw it away.
After Lvdan arrived at Shuangchengzi, he selected nearly 50,000 Jurchens from the East China Sea. Remove those who are obviously old or young. Forty thousand people remained. Organized into eight guards, each with about 5,000 men.
Commanders and officers are the leaders and their cronies. There are five thousand households under each guard, and ten hundred households under the thousand households. The formation of the troops has basically been completed.
Then, they began to train them to walk in queue and identify the meaning of the golden drum flag. How to move forward and backward etc.
These savages are used to being undisciplined. Not adaptable to such strict military management. They started making trouble one after another. Donkey Dan knew that corporal punishment and beheading were useless to deal with these people, and could easily lead to mutiny.
Donkey Dan announced that the top three running teams every day could eat meat and white flour steamed buns. Others had to eat polenta and pickles. The top three in the training group will be given a sword.
In fact, these waist knives, spears, bows and arrows were originally given to them. However, at this time, in order to stimulate them to obey the order, it was specially proposed as a reward. Money will be deducted if training is not completed. Only then did they become submissive.
A month is a short time. We can only give them a rough training so that they can understand the golden drum flag and command smoothly. It is not required to improve combat effectiveness. After all, they are very capable of fighting.
An old servant from a battalion serves as a training officer and goes to every household. Direct and train these people nearby. These people will serve as supervisors and stay in the East China Sea Jurchens. They will not return to the team until the war is over and they are disbanded.
This is because only these people can accept orders without problems. Instead, he commanded these East China Sea savages to fight according to Yang Fan's orders.
On the training ground, a dozen huge iron pots were lined up. Stewed with braised pork and potatoes. This is the favorite food of these savages. They had never tasted such delicious pork.
Only those who have completed the training tasks for the day can eat. Otherwise, just go for polenta with pickles. If you exceed the training limit, you will be rewarded.
Qi Lenghala was the leader of a small tribe. He brought fifty warriors and was appointed deputy 100 households. He received a pair of feather armor captured from Mongolia. The warrior also received a pair of Mongolian leather armor.
The training of their general flag is outstanding. Because they are the best hunters. They have never used such a good Mongolian riding bow. During shooting training, almost everyone took ten rings.
Then, their happy days came. Before they were dragged out to fight, their rewards had already been softened. First he got a mouthful of Mongolia
Scimitar. Then, each of them received a military coat. This thing is made of cloth with cotton inside. Cloth is a good thing. It's so warm to wear.
Then, they got a saddle-shaped stainless steel lunch box and kettle.
They also eat very well. You can eat meat almost every day. Braised pork with potatoes and dried vegetables is so delicious. Paired with unlimited rice, it's a perfect match.
The officers here won't beat them or scold them, it's all up to your own free will. Anyway, if you train well and eat well, you will get a lot. If you are not greedy, let it be as you wish.
After doing this, these savages went crazy. He threw himself into the training with enthusiasm.
Yang Fan has two cavalrymen from the servant camp. One of them was sent to bring the Jurchens from the East China Sea. In addition, there are three regiments of infantry in Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi. Equipped with flintlock rifles. There is also a small amount of artillery.
In addition to the Jurchens and Saurons from the East China Sea, this is Yang Fan's entire force. This time, it can be regarded as a practice for Zong Jiannu's attack. It is a test of Jiannu's combat effectiveness through attack.
Yang Fan planned to wait for the Sauron people to come, join forces, and then go south from Shuangchengzi, walk to the western foot of Changbai Mountain, and go directly to Jiannu's hometown. Because the Suifen River Basin in Shuangchengzi is close to the northern foot of Changbai Mountain. This road is the closest.
And this is the hometown of Bohai State. There are roads leading to the hinterland of eastern Liaoning. This is the nearest way.
Now the main force of establishing slaves is gone. Liaodong is definitely empty. Although Yang Fan gathered a group of rabble. However, the advantage is that the scale is large enough, and the slaves can also have a good taste of what they feel about what Ming Dynasty did.
At this time, the Qing army had arrived at the shore of the upper reaches of the Liao River. The Ming army relocated the 140,000 people from the disbanded Nine-Border Army Town here. They spent the past year walking along the Liao River. From Chifeng to Tongliao, more than a dozen castles were built on this line. Divide the troops into garrison.
This line of defense was completed under the leadership of Dong Lin and counselors such as Sun Chengzong and others. It is almost a replica of the Liaodong Guanning Jin defense line. Lao Sun is still the same as building high walls.
However, Ming Dynasty does not have the financial resources to build a Guan Ning army now. Except that Chifeng City is made of rammed earth and covered with bricks. Others are just earthen fences.
Lin Danhan has been frightened by Huang Taiji and will not come out to support the Ming army. He needs to lick his wounds and regain his strength. This year, he lost 40,000 to 50,000 horses.
Huang Taiji was riding on his horse, looking at the Liaohe River in the distance. On the other side of the river was an earthen city.
"What kind of Ming army is opposite?" Huang Taiji turned around and asked.
After Ning finished I replied: "Qi Khan. Opposite are the 5,000 infantrymen who have been abolished from Yulin Town."
Huang Taiji stared at Tucheng opposite for a while and smiled contemptuously. Said: "I thought this defense line was so amazing. It was touted as another Ningjin defense line, but at this time, it seems that it is nothing more than a chicken and a dog's ears."
