Chapter 626 The Princess Can Be Secretary
After the horse bandits were subdued, there was still a lot of work to do. The first thing to do was to disperse them, but there was no rush. Jiang Hao had one more thing to do, to meet those slaves.
Jiang Hao asked Su Mu to call those Han Chinese slaves. Not long after, fifty or sixty people were brought to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao looked at these weather-stained people, some with gray temples, and some with miserable faces. Seeing Jiang Hao Hao showed a timid look behind him.
"You are all Han Chinese." Jiang Hao asked.
An old man who looked to be in his fifties said, "Yes, we were all caravan buddies on this desert silk road before."
"Why was he left here as a slave?" Jiang Hao asked.
This is a middle-aged man with a look of resentment on his face, and said: "We were robbed by horse bandits, and they suppressed us and asked for ransom, but those running merchants were only willing to spend money to redeem their own people, but they threw us fellows who did things away." Never mind."
"Hey, the horse bandits want too much. It's much cheaper for them to recruit people than to redeem them. Businessmen value profits, so naturally they don't want to spend the money." A person next to him said.
Jiang Hao looked at these people and said: "We are the Han army, and now we have broken through the bandit camp. From then on, you are all free again. If anyone wants to go back, I can send you a horse and some dry food for the road."
Some people's faces immediately became agitated, some even shed tears, and some even knelt on the ground, "Thank you for the rescue."
Jiang Hao raised his hand and signaled them to stand up, "Of course, if someone is willing to stay, I can recruit people into the team and become a member of my Han army. They can be soldiers or logistics. As for how to choose, you guys You can think about it, and then go talk to Su Mu."
This group of people immediately expressed their gratitude to Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao asked them to take them down. As for the remaining Huren slaves, their fate would not be so good. Jiang Hao planned to rush them all into the logistics force.
Jiang Hao said to Jin Da Mao who was next to him: "Da Mao, go and call Su Mu, Cheng Yong, Pang Xiong, Niu Kaishan, Du Bin, Ke Ji, Samoyed, um, and that Rottweiler, and say that I have Announcement."
"promise!"
Jin Da Mao took the order, and after a short time, these people were called, and the others bowed to Jiang Hao. Luowei Na was a new horse bandit, so he was very disturbed, and he didn't know what to call him for.
Jiang Hao said: "Now that our numbers have increased, it's time for our army to make some adjustments."
"Please wait for instructions from the army." Several people said together.
"We used to be the soldiers of the Protectorate's Mansion, but now the Protectorate's Mansion of the Western Regions no longer exists, and now there are many more people. People can't be established without a name, and things can't be done without a name. We need a name. I thought about it. This army is called "Hanyang Army", what do you think?" Jiang Hao looked at his subordinates and asked.
"Okay, Hanyang Jun, that's a good name." Pang Xiong was the first to call out. When this guy flatters, he will never fall behind.
"'Hanyang' is a word for military officers, which means 'the rising sun'. Our army will also shine on the earth like the sun, which is naturally excellent." Su Mu said.
"The name Jun Hou gave is really good, we will call it Hanyang Jun."
Jiang Hao nodded and said: "Since we have become an army, the military ranks will naturally have to be changed. We have no one to add titles, so let me decide. From now on, you will call me a general, and you will all lead the army." waiting position."
As soon as the subordinates heard this, they were promoted. Naturally, they were all very happy. In life, they were chasing fame and fortune. Jiang Hao would not mention the position of general to them all at once.
Jiang Hao glanced at the group of subordinates, and said loudly: "Su Mu, take charge of the clerical affairs, continue to be in charge of the daily and logistics of the army, expand the manpower, and all the slaves here will be under your management."
"No, General." Su Mu saluted immediately.
"Cheng Yong, the scout leader, the team has expanded to a hundred people."
"Pang Xiong, Niu Kaishan, Du Bin, Corgi, Samoyed, you five will each form a team."
"promise!"
Jiang Hao finally looked at Luo Weina, and said with a coercive face: "How do you think I should arrange you?"
Rottweiler's back felt chills when Jiang Hao looked at him, and now he was very afraid of Jiang Hao's eyes, so he dared not talk nonsense, and lowered his head and replied: "Since Rottweiler has joined the general, I will do whatever the general arranges for me. "
Jiang Hao nodded, "Since you have served me, I will not treat you as servants of outsiders."
Hearing this, Rottweiler only felt a slight heat in his heart.
"Confer Luo Weiner as a military marshal and receive one." Jiang Hao said loudly.
Rottweiler was startled, and raised his head to look at Jiang Hao, his eyes were full of disbelief. When he captured the general, the general not only did not hold grudges, but also asked himself to be a military officer. Rottweiler's face suddenly turned red , said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you General, I will definitely do a good job."
Jiang Hao appointed a horse bandit as a military officer, and he was on the same level as his former subordinates. Naturally, he had a deep meaning. The horse bandit had just surrendered, and his hearts were unstable. He was afraid that he would be bullied. At this time, he set up a benchmark to let them know , Jiang Hao also treats them equally. You see, when Rottweiler arrested him, he was still promoted, so that those horse bandits can immediately feel at ease, and there will be no trouble in the subsequent reform.
Sweeping across the faces of this group of subordinates, Jiang Hao said: "Now we have a large number of people, and we must form teams. The number is definitely not enough, but it doesn't matter. Let's set up a shelf first, and expand when there is a chance. Next, the newly dropped soldiers They are evenly distributed to each department, and Su Mu will arrange the specific matters."
"promise!"
The subordinates were busy with the military transformation, but Jiang Hao had someone call a few cooks, and the cooks immediately saluted Jiang Hao when they saw Jiang Hao, "I have seen the general."
"How did you prepare our marching food in the past." Jiang Hao asked.
An older cook stood up and said: "General, in the past we would make some naan bread, or fry the wheat. If we can light a fire to cook, we can naturally cook some rice porridge, with some dried bacon, Miso and so on."
In fact, Jiang Hao also has these in his memory. It seems that this is the normal state of the army. "I have a food for you to cook. I have written down the recipe. You guys are wondering if you can make it."
As Jiang Hao spoke, he handed a piece of paper to the cooks, and the older cook took it with respectful hands, looked at Jiang Hao's formula, asked a few more questions, and walked out together.
What Jiang Hao wants to do is very simple, compressed biscuits. In fact, the concept of mixed military rations already existed in the Song Dynasty, but Jiang Hao is more thorough, directly making modern military ration compressed biscuits.
Compressed biscuits are not complicated. To put it simply, you fry the flour with oil, and then add salt, sugar, etc. This is the simplest. It is not delicious, but it is easy to eat. You can even grab a handful and stuff it into your mouth during the march. Here, don't delay your journey.
But sugar is a luxury nowadays, Jiang Hao thinks it can be replaced with raisins, there are a lot of raisins in the Western Regions, they can be put in it as a supplement, add meat floss and dried fruits, and make squeezed pancakes if you have time, if you don’t have Time, it can be made on the spot, and then packed in bags, similar to the dry ration bags for the Eighth Route Army. Jiang Hao believes that such a bag of military rations can guarantee an army's food for four or five days, greatly enhancing the mobility of the army.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner. Dilinaza has been paying attention to Jiang Hao's situation. The next day she heard the news that Jiang Hao formed an army and named it "Hanyang Army", using his own words .
As for the horse bandits, she was a little worried about what would happen to those horse bandits, but after two days, all the horse bandits who surrendered were honestly accepted for reform and assigned to various troops.
Two days later, the army was reorganized, and a Hanyang army with more than 600 cavalry and more than 300 logistics troops was formally formed, and training has already begun.
"call!"
"what!"
The Hanyang Army was practicing. Princess Dina thought about it, took one of her maids, and walked across the pasture to the main castle, where Jiang Hao lives now.
At this time Jiang Hao was playing with something,
"Bang bang~"
There was a knock on the door, and Jin Da Mao walked in, "General, madam is here."
Now that Jiang Hao and Dina have a marriage contract, it has spread in the barracks, and no one has concealed it between them. Jin Da Mao naturally called Mrs. Dina.
"Well, let her come in."
Princess Dina walked in and bowed slightly to Jiang Hao, "I have seen the general."
"You don't have to be so polite, come here and do it, what can you do for me." Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
Princess Dina did not speak first, but took over her scarf, showing a beautiful face, "First of all, I would like to thank the general, I feel that I am all right now, I am no longer afraid of wind and light, and my skin will not be the same as before. It will become red, swollen and itchy after touching, the general's talisman is really magical."
Jiang Hao smiled, did not explain the talisman, but pointed to a tray on the table and said: "Look at these, they are military rations made by me, try them."
Dina looked at the flat pancakes, and picked up one that felt quite heavy, "Is this dry food for the march?"
"Yes, my new invention, you have a taste."
Princess Dina brought the pancake to her mouth and bit it lightly, um, she didn't bite it, Jiang Hao had a half-smile expression on his face, "Press harder, this one is very firm."
"Crack!"
Princess Dina took a bite and finally gnawed off a layer of powder. The princess covered her mouth and shouted: "Oh, it's so hard, I feel like my teeth are loose."
"Hahahaha~~" Jiang Hao laughed out loud.
Princess Dina looked at Jiang Hao angrily, with an angry expression on her face, her moth eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her pink mouth was pouted, which was really pretty.
"Are you playing tricks on me!"
Jiang Hao smiled and shook his head, "No, this is indeed military rations, but it's still in the research and development stage. I told the cooks that the more compact the better, it can save space, and soldiers can bring more. I didn't expect them It’s so pressed that it’s almost like a brick, hehehe.”
"You let me eat it even if you know it's hard." Dina said angrily.
"Now the two of us are together. If I hadn't promised to restore the country for you, wouldn't it be better for me to take these hundreds of people to enjoy themselves in the desert? Why bother to work so hard and bring you to experiment with new military rations? Isn't it right? Is it?" Jiang Hao looked at Di Linaza and said.
Dilinaza was taken aback for a moment, "Do you want me to join in?"
"Of course, you can't stay out of it. Come here if you have nothing to do in the future. If you have something to discuss, we can discuss it together. Since you are here, the matter of the military rations will be handed over to you. Experiment to find out the best formula and compaction, which is convenient for marching. "Jiang Hao said to Princess Dina.
Dina nodded subconsciously and accepted the task.
"By the way, what do you want from me?" Jiang Hao asked.
"First, I'm here to tell you that my illness is cured, and second, I want to ask, what's your next step?" Princess Dina asked.
Jiang Hao sat on the seat, picked up a piece of hard pancake, rolled it in his hand, and said, "I have almost thought about the plan for the past two days. India or something?"
"The jade seal is in the hands of my father, but before the enemy army invaded the palace, my father told us brothers and sisters to escape separately. He didn't leave by himself. I saw him throw the jade seal into the deep well with my own eyes. I guess I can't get it back. .” When Dina talked about the previous incident, a trace of sadness flashed across her face.
"Is there anything like a document with the jade seal of Qiuci?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Yes, there are a few documents in my luggage, which are stamped with the jade seal of my father, what are you asking?" Dina looked at Jiang Hao with some doubts.
"Hehe, it's not true, so let's carve one ourselves. At this moment, there must be many generals who have returned to Kucha who are depressed. I plan to send Samoyed to take people back and sneak into the city of Kucha. You write a few letters and say something. Be more sincere, let them abandon their darkness and turn to the light and return to the embrace of their motherland, let go of the past, and when they defeat the invading Shache people, they will have nothing but meritorious deeds, and they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds." Jiang Hao said.
Dina's eyes gradually brightened, "I believe that many people will be recalled, after all, they are all from Kucha."
Jiang Hao continued: "Then I'm going to talk to several surrounding countries and borrow troops from them."
"Borrow soldiers? Who are you looking for?"
"Borrow troops from Yanqi, Yuli, Ruoqiang, and Loulan countries. It is not difficult to borrow 5,000 troops." Jiang Hao said.
not difficult!
Di Linaza didn't know where Jiang Hao's self-confidence came from. Soldiers are the lifeblood of these countries. They are hard-built and supported by countless money. How could they lend to others at will.
Hearing Dina's question, Jiang Hao said with a smile: "A fan once said, 'If you can't persuade others, it's not because your opinion is bad, but because you are not good at using the art of persuasion.' "
"This is a bit philosophical. What is the name of the person who said this?" Dina asked.
"His name is Franklin."
Jiang Haoxin said, to persuade others, maybe Franklin is really powerful, and how many people can resist the persuasion of "dollar bills".
"Since the general already has a plan, Dina will not bother." Princess Dina stood up and was about to leave.
But Jiang Hao stopped her and said: "Forget what I just said, from today onwards, you will work with me, and you can discuss things if you have something. I will give you a job now, and you will be my office secretary in the future."
"Secretary? What is the job of a secretary?" Princess Dina's big eyes showed doubts, curiosity, and a hint of eagerness.
Jiang Hao let out two wolf laughs in his heart.
Secretary, if there is something to do, the secretary will do it, it's fine.
