Chapter 833: "·Broken faith"

The scabbard protects the sharpness of the knife, but it is satisfied with its dullness.
Rabin Deran Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher and Indian nationalist)
"Six thousand cavalry?!" Donald, who was obviously shocked, said inconceivably: "As far as I know, the total number of cavalry in the entire empire should not exceed 30,000; how can you have so many in your hands?" cavalry?"
"Teacher, the number of cavalry in the empire is far more than the 30,000 people you know." Bai Feng shook his head and said: "Only the squadron rebuilt by His Majesty the Emperor for the four princes has a full 20,000 cavalry, which does not include some of the Empire's standing corps. Cavalry Wings affiliated with China."
In front of his teacher, Donald, Bai Feng said that when he mentioned Charles the Great, he chose the honorific words very wisely; because most of the loyalty of the empire generals was Charles the Great, who was far away from the imperial capital, and not other people.
"I know what the Emperor His Majesty has rebuilt for the four princes of the Dragon Squadron." Donald, who still doesn't believe, insisted on his own opinion: "But apart from the Dragon Squadron, the Empire has few standing legions that will be attached to the cavalry wing, standing legion. All are infantry regiments."
"After the fall of the northern provinces, the military department began to be assigned to the cavalry wing in the newly established standing army." Bai Feng explained to Donald tirelessly: "General Leonard's fifty-eighth army is typical."
"The Fifty-eighth Corps, which was formed in less than half a year, has ten standard infantry wing and one attached cavalry wing; moreover, this attached cavalry wing is slightly larger than the normal cavalry wing and has 3,000 cavalry. "
"As you say, what is the number of cavalry currently available in the empire?" The facts in front of him made Donald's mood a little low. He added in a low tone: "I want to know the most detailed figures."
Looking at Donald, who was slightly depressed in front of him, Bai Feng could understand his feelings in his heart; for Donald, he may never blame his unreuse on the political struggle of the upper empire of the empire and Charles the Great. Deliberately ignored.
Similar to Donald, a general who was born at the end of the imperial nobility, when they joined the imperial army, they swore allegiance to the empire and the emperor; for them, the emperor who stood above him was their only loyal object.
Although Donald himself has an unusually close relationship with the Duke of Kleist; however, the close friendship and subordination established on the battlefield still have a big gap compared to the belief in the firm heart .
I would like to ask, which of the lower nobles and ordinary higher nobles of the empire does not depend on the stronger nobles? The Donald family is just an ordinary Earl family. With the relationship between Donald and the Duke of Kleist, relying on the Kleist family, which is among the top dignitaries of the empire, this is the normal state in the empire's noble circle.
In view of this, Donald, who has never lost his faith in his heart, told himself more than once: The reason why the military department did not give himself a new appointment is not because the emperor has forgotten himself, but because the empire does not have a cavalry unit suitable for him.
This self-deceived self-paralysis continued until today Bai Feng said the number of cavalry in the imperial army; Donald, the disillusioned fantasy, the original firm belief in his heart also disappeared, leaving only endless bitterness and full of sorrow.
"Teacher, at this stage of the Empire Corps, there are about ten or so regiments with cavalry wings." Bai Feng said frankly: "In addition to the cavalry brigades attached to some regiments, the total number of imperial cavalry will not be less than 50,000."
"Among these 50,000 Imperial cavalry, including the 20,000 cavalry of the Dragon Slaughter Regiment of His Royal Highness the Four Princes?"
"Excluding, fifty thousand cavalry is just the number of cavalry in the Empire's standing army."
"Alas, I know it, at least I don't need to have a fantasy in the future." Donald, who closed his eyes slightly after a few seconds, solemnly said to Bai Feng: "Bai Feng, thank you for bringing me back to the battlefield. Opportunity!"
"Teacher, you are the most courageous and cavalry cavalry general in the empire; it is my honor to be able to form you a cavalry regiment for me!" Facing Donald's thanks, Bai Feng responded with a smile: "I count on you, Help me bring out the most elite cavalry legion of the Empire!"
"Haha, let's make a decision!" Donald, who was uplifted, said boldly: "You show me the stage of ambition, and I will bring you the most elite cavalry legion of the empire!"
"Then I would like to thank you teacher in advance!" Treating real talents, Bai Feng never hides his trust in them.
"Bai Feng, now you are no longer a student of Imperial College, and I am no longer your teacher." Bai Feng's teacher hanging on his mouth made Donald have to remind him: "In the future, you will call it like other generals. Me, otherwise it seems that I don’t understand the rules of the military."
"This..." Bai Feng, who knows the truth, hesitated for a moment and gave his own suggestion: "Teacher, you can't do this: if there are other people present, you and I will match the rules of the military; if there are no other people On the scene, you and I are commensurate with teachers and students."
"Bai Feng, your kind teacher has taken the lead, but the military is nowhere else. The rules are the rules and cannot be destroyed by anyone." Donald shook his head and refused: "You and I, as commanders and senior generals of the army, should lead by example."
Donald said so, Bai Feng was naturally not good to persevere, so the relationship between the two in the army was determined; Bai Feng did not know at this time. The confirmation of this relationship later made him less troublesome. .
On the day we had a great conversation with Donald, the direct cavalry wing of the personal guard and the cavalry wing of the 58th Legion, as well as the newly recruited 4,000 horsemen, were all handed over to Donald by Bai Feng.
Kabaye, the captain of the cavalry wing directly under the Guards, was promoted by Bai Feng to the deputy general of the cavalry corps and served as the first captain of the cavalry corps.
As for the high-quality warhorse and weaponry that Bai Feng promised to provide to Donald, when he transferred ten teams of Roman heavy infantry from the city of Rome, he had already purchased the weapons and equipment and high-quality warhorse purchased from the armor shop and the cavalry stables into the personal guard. In the barracks warehouse.
After the formation of the cavalry corps was fully handed over to Donald, Bai Feng needed to worry about how to receive the reinforcements of the Holy See. You know, there are many great figures in the Holy See!
The reinforcement team composed of cardinals, sons, and daughters of the Holy See is such a luxurious configuration that it is enough for the king or emperor of any country to meet in person; not to mention, Bai Feng's identity is not yet to that extent.
Of course, compared to cardinals, sons, and daughters whose symbolic value is greater than their actual value, Bai Feng cares more about the 10,000 light knights in the reinforcements, which is the real practical reinforcement.
The Eight Banners Army of the Jianzhou Jurchen consists of cavalry, even if Bai Feng can use the Spartan army as the main force and use the terrain advantage to fight an infantry to suppress the cavalry. The battle is more or less; it also requires a lot of cavalry cooperation, otherwise How could Bai Feng be so anxious to form a cavalry regiment.
In fact, even if the military does not require Bai Feng to form this cavalry corps, Bai Feng will expand the size of the cavalry wing directly under the personal guards as soon as possible; the military command that coincides with it will only give Bai Feng the proper name.
