"Don't worry, the Military and Political Department has already prepared people for you." Yang Yuan stretched out two fingers and said, "Two full squadrons will arrive at Daliang Mountain soon and will be under your command."
Cao Guang asked curiously, "Which soldier of the army are the people sent?"
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't think about good things. We don't have enough people for several combat teams. The 3000-man team is not full yet. How could we send it to you? Even I don't have the right to mobilize combat troops." Troops, unless ordered by the boss.”
"Which team was sent to Daliang Mountain?" Cao Guang asked doubtfully.
In addition to three thousand-man troops and a cavalry team, he did not remember any new teams that Tiger Character Banner could send to Daliang Mountain.
Yang Yuan said, "At first, the headmaster arranged for seven or eight teams to pretend to be bandits and sent them to various places in Datong. You have one team here, and there are also other places. Now there are many people who have fled from Liaodong in Datong. These teams Just like you, we absorbed refugees from Liaodong and expanded from a small team to a squadron. This time, the Military and Political Department sent two of the newly established squadrons to Daliang Mountain to form a new brigade with your squadron."
After hearing this, Cao Guang realized that the two newly formed squadrons handed over to him were similar to those in his village. Most of them were recruits from Liaodong people.
Seeing that Cao Guang didn't speak, Yang Yuan asked, "Why don't you want to?"
"No, no, how can I have an opinion." Cao Guang waved his hands repeatedly, and then said, "It would be better if we could select some soldiers from several thousand-man teams to come to Daliang Mountain."
Yang Yuan pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "Don't think about this. There are many new recruits joining the 3000-man team, and the 3000-man team is a military team bound for the grassland, let alone your place. ”
Crying children will be fed by milk. Cao Guang knew that it was impossible to recruit people from the several fighting armies of Tiger Character Banner, but he was unwilling to take the opportunity to raise some conditions and get some benefits, so he said, "The newly established army in Daliang Mountain Most of the brigade are refugees from Liaodong, and you know well, Yangtou, that most of these people are in poor health and need to be recuperated. Please see if the Military and Political Department can give us some support."
"Yes, Yang Tou, can you talk to the Military and Political Department to give us some assistance in Daliang Mountain?" Zhang Hongtu on the side agreed.
Yang Yuan glanced at Zhang Hongtu and scolded with a smile, "You have just taken office and are speaking on the side of Captain Cao. Don't forget, you are from the Attendant Department, so you should be on the side of the Military and Political Department."
"Hey, Yang Tou, didn't you tell me that I am the staff officer of the first brigade in Daliangshan, so of course I have to think about my own family." Zhang Hongtu chuckled.
"You betrayed the Auxiliary Department as soon as you took office." Yang Yuan smiled and nodded with his hand, and then said, "Tell me what kind of support you want. As for the artillery, don't think about it. Several thousand-man troops We haven’t got them all yet, so I’ll give you a few squatting cannons at most.”
"Okay, okay, the squatting tiger cannon is enough. The squatting tiger cannon is enough here in Daliang Mountain." Cao Guang nodded repeatedly, grinning with a big mouth.
He didn't originally care about those four-pound cannons. He knew that such field artillery would be given priority to a few thousand-man teams. For a newly established brigade like his, the Military and Political Department would not equip them with four-pound cannons in a short time. .
So he was very content to get a few squatting tiger cannons.
At this time, Zhang Hongtu said, "Yang Tou, can you give us some duck meat and duck eggs? The refugees from Liaodong are all weak and need to replenish their health."
"Yes, yes, yes, Staff Officer Zhang is right." Cao Guang quickly agreed, "In the past, there were only more than a hundred people in Daliang Mountain, and you could barely make ends meet by gathering wild animals and buying some meat at the foot of the mountain to bring back. Now, Two more squadrons are coming, and the food is okay, but meat and eggs will definitely not be enough."
Ma Lin on the side also said, "The team usually has to train, and there must be a huge demand for meat and eggs. It is definitely not enough to rely on Daliang Mountain to provide it by itself. We also need the support of Lingqiu."
Yang Yuan nodded and said, "Considering the situation here, the Military and Political Department will send you some meat and eggs every once in a while to ensure the supply of your brigade."
"That's great." Cao Guang said with a happy face, "With this support, our Daliang Mountains will definitely be able to train a group of elite soldiers for our Tiger Flag."
"Don't be too happy yet." Yang Yuan straightened his expression and said, "The benefits will be given to you. Now let's talk about the tasks assigned by the master."
Several people in the room looked serious.
Yang Yuan continued, "The boss hopes that your brigade will be integrated as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness. From now on, Datong East Road will be handed over to you. No caravans will be allowed to go to the grasslands to do business through Datong East Road."
Cao Guang frowned and said hesitantly, "The area of Datong East Road is not small. With just a few hundred people in our brigade, it may be difficult to completely block the way out of the customs. It is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net."
Yang Yuan explained, "Don't worry, you are mainly filling in the gaps. The ones who are actually going to intercept the caravans in the Ming Kingdom are General Xinpingbao and Chen Guerrilla from Datong East Road. You only need to deal with the fish that have slipped through the net."
"Then we'll have no problem." Zhang Hongtu assured.
"You are the captain, do you have any questions?" Yang Yuan looked at Cao Guang.
Cao Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "There is still a little problem."
As he spoke, he pinched his right thumb and index finger together and made a small gesture.
"Say" Yang Yuan gestured to him.
Cao Guang said, "How to arrange the captains of the two squadrons who came to Daliang Mountain? In the past, everyone was on the same level. Now the three squadrons have merged and I have become the captain. The captains of the other two squadrons are one step below me. I am worried about their hearts. It will be uncomfortable.”
"Do you want me to take away the squadron leaders of the two squadrons?" Yang Yuan asked back.
Cao Guang rubbed his hands and said with a hint of embarrassment, "I didn't mean that, but Yang Tou, if you can really take the person away, that would be the best."
"You are afraid that they will be unconvinced by you and fight for power with you." Yang Yuan looked at Cao Guang with a half-smile.
Cao Guang chuckled and did not answer the question.
But he meant that several people in the room could tell that they were worried about these things happening.
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the squadron captains of those two squadrons have already gone to the newly formed baggage train. The two vacant squadron captain positions will be decided by the three of you through discussion. After the decision is made, it will be reported to the Military and Political Department."
"Yes." Cao Guang stood up straight and agreed, then smiled and said, "Then I have no problem."
"Do you two have any problems?" Yang Yuan looked at Zhang Hongtu and Ma Lin again.
Both men shook their heads at the same time.
Cao Guang came up and asked, "Yang Tou, when will the two squadrons arrive?"
Yang Yuan glanced at him and said, "Now we are in a hurry to find someone. Why did you push back and forth just now? You kept raising conditions with me. If you don't agree, you won't be the captain."
Cao Guang chuckled and said, "Isn't this considering the actual situation? Now that the Military and Political Department has solved the problem, of course we are willing to be the captain. This is a promotion, which is a good thing."
"You're the only one who talks a lot." Yang Yuan laughed and cursed, and then said, "Don't worry, the two squadrons for you will arrive soon, probably within the next two days."
"That's good, that's good." Cao Guang looked happy.
As long as the other two squadrons arrived at Daliang Mountain, he would be considered the captain. Even though the military quality and armor of his soldiers were not as good as those of the three brigades under the jurisdiction of the three thousand-man squadrons, in terms of number of personnel, , is also the establishment of a combat brigade.
