Chapter 630: The princess can be the secretary
The bandits were subdued and there was still a lot of work behind them. The first thing they had to do was to disrupt and disperse them. However, there was no hurry to do this. Jiang Hao had one thing to do, to meet those slaves.
Jiang Hao asked Su Mu to call the Han slaves. Soon after, fifty or sixty people were taken to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao looked at these people with frosty faces, some of whom had gray hair and some had miserable expressions, and saw Jiang Hao showing timidity behind him.
"You are all Han people." Jiang Hao asked.
An old man who looked over fifties said, "Yes, we were all caravans who walked this desert Silk Road before."
"Why were left here as a slave?" Jiang Hao asked.
There was a middle-aged man who looked resentful and said, "We were robbed by horse bandits and suppressed us to ask for ransom. However, those travelers were willing to spend money to redeem their own people, but left us guys who did things alone."
"Hey, the bandits want too much. They recruit more people than redeem them. The merchants value profits, so they naturally refuse to spend this money." said a person next to them.
Jiang Hao looked at these people and said, "We are the Han army. Now that we have broken through the bandit camp, you will all be free from now on. If anyone wants to go back, I can give you a horse and some dry food for the road."
Some people's faces immediately became excited, some even left tears, and some even knelt on the ground, "Thank you for helping Junhou."
Jiang Hao raised his hand and signaled them to stand up, "Of course, if someone is willing to stay, I can recruit people to join the team and become a member of our Han army, as a war soldier or a logistics company. As for how to choose, you can consider it and then talk to Su Mu."
The group of people immediately thanked Jiang Hao in tears.
Jiang Hao asked someone to take them down. As for the remaining Hu slaves, they would not be so lucky. Jiang Hao was going to rush them all into the logistics force.
Jiang Hao said to the Jin Damao next to him: "Damao, go and call Su Mu, Cheng Yong, Pang Xiong, Niu Kaishan, Dubin, Corgi, Samoyer, well, and that Rotweiler, and I said I have something to announce."
"promise!"
Jin Damao took the order and called these people over shortly afterwards. The others greeted Jiang Hao. Rotweiler was a newly surrendered bandit, and he was very nervous and didn't know what to ask him to do.
Jiang Hao said: "Now that our number has increased, it is time for our army to make some adjustments."
"Please wait for the army to show your advice." Several people said together.
"In the past, we were the soldiers of the Protectorate, but now the Protectorate of the Western Regions no longer exists. Now there are many more people. People without names cannot stand, and things without names cannot be achieved. We need to have a name. I thought about it and our army is called "Hanyang Army". What do you think?" Jiang Hao looked at several subordinates and asked.
"Okay, Hanyang Army, this name is really good." Pang Xiong was the first to shout. When this guy flatters, he will never fall behind.
"'Hanyang' is the word "Military Hou", which means "the rising sun rises in the east". Our army will also shine on the earth like the sun, which is naturally excellent." Su Mu said.
"The name given by the military officer is really good. Let's call it Hanyang Army."
Jiang Hao nodded and said, "Since the army has become an army, the military position will naturally be changed. No one will add it to us, so let me decide. From now on, you will call me a general, and you will all lead the military position."
When the subordinates heard this, they were promoted, so they were naturally very happy. In life, whether they were pursuing fame and fortune, Jiang Hao would not mention the position of general to them all at once. They would suppress them first, and there would be opportunities in the future.
Jiang Haosai said loudly to these subordinates: "Su Mu, take charge of the clerical affairs, continue to be responsible for the daily and logistics of the army, expand the staff, and all the slaves here are under your management."
"No, General." Su Mu saluted immediately.
"Cheng Yong, the scout leader, expanded the team to a hundred."
"Pang Xiong, Niu Kaishan, Dobin, Corgi, Samoyed, each of you five is one."
"promise!"
Jiang Hao's gaze finally looked at Rotweiler and said with a pressured look: "How do you think I should arrange for you?"
Rotweiler's back was cold when Jiang Hao looked at him. Now he was very afraid of Jiang Hao's eyes, so he dared not say anything. He lowered his head and replied: "Since Rotweiler has become the general, I will do whatever the general arranges."
Jiang Hao nodded, "Since you have contributed to me, I will not treat you as slaves from outsiders."
Hearing this, Rotweiler felt a little warm.
"I appointed Loweina as the military officer and lead a member of him." Jiang Hao said loudly.
Rotweiler was startled and looked up at Jiang Hao, his eyes full of disbelief. When he captured the general, the general not only did not hold grudges, but also made him a military officer. Rotweiler's face suddenly turned red and he said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you, General, I will definitely do my best."
Jiang Hao conferred a horse bandit as a military officer and was equal to his former subordinates, which naturally had a deep meaning. The horse bandits surrendered, and people were unstable and afraid of being bullied. At this time, set a benchmark to let them know that Jiang Hao treated them equally. You see, when Rotweiler captured himself, he was still promoted, so that the horse bandits could immediately feel at ease, and there would be no trouble with the next transformation.
Sweeping over the faces of this group of subordinates, Jiang Hao said: "Now that we have a large number of people, and we will form our own teams. The number of people is definitely not enough. But it doesn't matter. Put on the airs first and wait until we have the opportunity to expand in the future. Next, the newly surrendered soldiers will be distributed equally to each unit, and the specific matters will be arranged by Su Mu."
"promise!"
When his subordinates went to work hard on the military transformation, Jiang Hao asked someone to call a few kids. When a few kids saw Jiang Hao, they saluted immediately, "I've seen the general."
"How did you prepare our marching food in the past?" Jiang Hao asked.
A slightly older kid stood up and said, "Go back to the general, we used to make some naan bread with them or stir-fry wheat. If we could cook on a fire, we could naturally cook some rice porridge, and then add some bacon, soy sauce, etc."
In fact, Jiang Hao also has these in his memory. It seems that this is the norm for the army. "I have the same food for you to make. I have written down the recipe. You guys are thinking about whether they can make it."
Jiang Hao said as he handed the chefs a piece of paper. The older chef took it with respect, looked at Jiang Hao's recipe, asked a few more questions and left together.
What Jiang Hao wants to make is very simple, compressed biscuits. In fact, there was a concept of mixed military rations in the Song Dynasty. However, Jiang Hao is more thorough and directly makes modern military rations compressed biscuits.
Compressed biscuits are not complicated. Simply put, it is to fry the flour with oil, then add salt, sugar and other ingredients. This is the simplest and not delicious, but it is easy to eat. You can even grab a handful of them during the march and stuff them into your mouth without delaying the journey.
However, sugar is a luxury now. Jiang Hao thinks that raisins can be replaced. There are a lot of raisins from the Western Regions, and they can be put into supplements. Add meat floss and dried fruits to make squeezed cakes when you have time. If you don’t have time, you can make them freshly and then put them in a bag. A bag of marching dry food bags like the Eighth Route Army. Jiang Hao believes that such a bag of military rations can ensure the food for four or five days of an army, greatly enhancing the mobility of the army.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Dilinaza had been paying attention to the situation on Jiang Hao's side. The next day she heard the message that Jiang Hao formed an army and named it "Hanyang Army", using his own words.
As for the horse bandits, she was still a little worried about what would happen to those horse bandits, but two days later, all the surrendered horse bandits were honestly undergoing the transformation and were assigned to various troops.
Two days later, the army was rectified, and a Hanyang Army with more than 600 cavalry and more than 300 logistics was officially formed and training has begun.
"call!"
"ha!"
Hanyang Army was training. Princess Dina thought about it and took one of her maids, crossed the grassland to the main castle. Now this is where Jiang Hao lives.
At this time, Jiang Hao was fiddling with something.
"Bangbang~"
The door was knocked, and Jin Damao walked in, "General, Madam is here."
Now that Jiang Hao and Dina have an engagement, the matter has spread in the military camp, and no one has concealed it between them, so Jin Damao naturally called Mrs. Dina.
"Well, let her come in."
Princess Dina walked into the door and saluted slightly at Jiang Hao, "I've seen the general."
"Don't be so polite, come here and do something, what's the matter with me?" Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
Princess Dina did not speak first, but took her scarf and showed her beautiful face. "Thank you first, General. I feel that I am well. Now I am no longer afraid of wind and light. My skin will not be red, swollen and itchy when touched. The general's talisman is really magical."
Jiang Hao smiled, instead of explaining the talisman, he pointed to a tray on the table and said, "Look at these, they are the military rations I made, you can try it."
Dina looked at the flat round cakes and picked up a piece and felt that it was quite heavy to buy, "Is this marching dry food?"
"Yes, I'm new inventing, you can taste it."
Princess Dina brought the pancake to her mouth and bit it gently. Well, she didn't bite it. Jiang Hao showed a smiley expression on his face, "Tighter, this one is compacted with force, very strong."
"Click!"
Princess Dina took a bite hard and finally gnawed a layer of powder. The princess covered her mouth and shouted, "Oh, it's so hard, I feel that my teeth are loose."
"Hahahaha" Jiang Hao laughed out loud.
Princess Dina looked at Jiang Hao with some anger, her face was filled with anger, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her pink little mouth was pouting. It was really nice.
"Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Hao shook his head with a smile, "No, this is indeed military ration, but it is still in the development stage. I told those kids that the more you press, the better it is. That can save space and the soldiers can also bring more soldiers. Unexpectedly, they press too hard and they are almost bricks, hahaha."
"You still let me eat when you know it's hard." Dina said angrily.
"Now we are in the same group. If we hadn't promised to restore the country for you, wouldn't it be better for me to bring these hundreds of people to live happily in the desert? Why do you have to work so hard and bring you to experiment with new military rations together? Wouldn't that be?" Jiang Hao looked at Dilinaza and said.
Dilinaza was stunned, "Do you want me to participate together?"
"Of course, you can't stay out of it. Come over when you have nothing to do. If you have something to do, you can discuss it together. Since you are here, you will leave the military rations to you. Experiment with the best formula and compaction level to facilitate marching use." Jiang Hao said to Princess Dina.
Dina nodded subconsciously and accepted the task.
"By the way, what's the matter with me?" Jiang Hao asked.
"I'm here to tell you that my illness has been cured, and I want to ask, what are your plans for the next step?" asked Princess Dina.
Jiang Hao sat on the seat, picked up a hard cake and turned it in his hand, and said, "I have been thinking about it these two days. By the way, do you have the certificate of the Kucha Kingdom king, such as the king's jade seal?"
"The jade seal is in the hands of my father, but before the enemy attacked the palace, my father asked our brothers and sisters to escape in dispersion. He did not leave by himself. I watched him throw the jade seal into the deep well with his own eyes. I think it was impossible to find it." Dina said about what had happened before, and a trace of sadness flashed across her face.
"Is there any document or something like that with the Kucha jade seal?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Yes, there are a few documents in my luggage, covered with the jade seal of my father. What do you want to do?" Dina looked at Jiang Hao with some confusion.
"Haha, there is no real thing, so let's just carve one by ourselves. At this moment, there must be many surrendered generals in Kucha who are depressed and unsuccessful. I am going to send Samoyed to take people back and sneak into Kucha City. You write a few letters, and make them abandon the darkness and return to their homeland. They will not blame the past for the past. When the Shache people who were defeated and invaded, they will only have no merits, and then reward them according to their merits." Jiang Hao said.
Dina's eyes gradually brightened as she listened, "I believe that many people will definitely be recalled, after all, they are all Kucha people."
Jiang Hao continued: "Then I will go to talk to several countries around and borrow soldiers from them."
"Borrow soldiers? Who should I find?"
"It is not difficult to borrow troops from Yanqi, Yuli, Ruoqiang, and Loulan countries, and it is not difficult to borrow 5,000 troops." Jiang Hao said.
Not difficult!
Dilinaza didn't know where Jiang Hao came from. The war soldiers were the lifeblood of these countries. They worked hard to build and provide countless money, so how could they lend them to others at will?
Jiang Hao heard Dina ask questions and said with a smile: "A man once said, 'If you can't convince others, it's not because you have a bad opinion, 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, if you convince others, maybe Franklin is really powerful, and how many people can resist the persuasion of "US dollar bills".
"Since the general has a plan, Dina will not disturb him." Princess Dina stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
Jiang Hao stopped her and said, "Did you forget what I just said? Starting today, you will work with me and discuss things if you have anything. I will now give you a position, and you will be my office secretary in the future."
"Secretary? What is the position of secretary?" Princess Dina's big eyes were filled with questions, curiosity, and a hint of eagerness to try.
Jiang Hao let out two wolves laughter in his heart.
Chapter completed!
