After this battle, the threats around Xinming cities were swept away. At least for a few years, Xinming's immigration sites would no longer be attacked on a large scale. As for dealing with the fleeing Indians, they were equipped with excellent weapons and even some immigrants who even purchased old-style muskets could solve them themselves.

"It's a good fight!" Pan Mengyuan, the governor's mansion in Sun City, praised Ma Changbao who was standing in front of him: "Originally, the governor thought it would be enough to win this battle, but he didn't expect that he would end up with such a result, which really brought out the power of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Although the results of the battle are acceptable, our army was injured in this battle because of the rash advancement of the humble position. He really dared not take credit for his achievements, so he asked the general to punish him." Ma Changbao, who came back to report his duties, was not happy, but said ashamed.

"Where are immortals in war!" Pan Mengyuan waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "It only costs 35% of the price to destroy ten thousand cavalry in one battle. If you are in the local area, you can shake the world with this battle. This governor has reported to the local area. I think the emperor will be happy after receiving the news. As for you..." Looking at the silver star on Ma Changbao's shoulder, Pan Mengyuan stretched out his hand and laughed: "You kid, just wait for the stars on your shoulders."

As the governor, Pan Mengyuan has a lot of power in Xinming. It can be said that he controls Xinming's military and political affairs, and Zhu Yicheng also gave him the right to act cheaply.

This battle to calm the resistance of the Indian Tribal Alliance, guaranteeing the development of the late Ming Dynasty, which of course was a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty. In particular, Ma Changbao directly defeated more than 10,000 Indian cavalry with more than 3,000 infantry and insufficient firearm troops. As he said, if it was on the local level, this victory would be worthy of the world.

However, Ma Changbao was not facing Mongolian cavalry or the elite of the Eight Banners, but the uncivilized indigenous alliance in Xinming. Naturally, this contribution would be discounted. However, even if Ma Changbao was given its first merit, promotion and commendation was inevitable. However, even Pan Mengyuan, as the governor, could not directly improve Ma Changbao's military rank with his rights. Regarding this, the Ministry of War and the Military Department have clear regulations. For generals leading the army, the Governor of Xinming has the right to directly promote lower-level officers, but middle-level officers like Ma Changbao must pass the review of the Ministry of War and the Military Department.

Ma Changbao was naturally very clear about this, and immediately thanked Pan Mengyuan, and then talked about the pension and resettlement of the casualties in the battle.

Ma Changbao, the chief official, has made a list of these and made detailed notes at the back. Pan Mengyuan took it and looked at it, nodded slightly and picked up the pen to sign it, and then put down the pen and said, "This matter is done according to the rules. In addition, the Governor's Office allocated another 50,000 yuan for resettlement."

"Thank you, Marshal!" Ma Changbao showed gratitude and thanked him repeatedly.

"Although fifty thousand is not enough, no matter how much money you have, it cannot make up for the dead brothers. This matter must be done well!"

"Please rest assured, if you can't do this well, the general will be the only one who has taken the lead in a low position!" Ma Changbao decisively cut off the railway.

He nodded with praise. When Ma Changbao took the initiative to come to Xinming, Pan Mengyuan accepted him and took him to Xinming for important tasks. Now it seems that he did not choose the wrong person. Ma Changbao is indeed a good general and has earned his face. After this battle, it not only cleared the obstacles to immigration and expansion, but also made Pan Mengyuan, the governor, become more and more stable because of this battle.

Next, Ma Changbao took out another list. This list was different from the previous one, but a credit book, which recorded the contributions of each person in the battle. Some of the outstanding achievements also indicated suggestions for commendation and improvement.

Pan Mengyuan took it and looked at it. He pointed to one of the obvious names and smiled: "Is this person the leader who is the naturalized soldier who killed the enemy leader in this battle?"

"That's right! This man is Yin Xiong. If he hadn't stood out in this battle and killed his leader, I'm afraid that the battle would not have been known in the end. Therefore, he is the leader of his position."

"Yin Xiong, hero? Haha, this name is good." Pan Mengyuan smiled.

Ma Changbao also laughed and immediately explained the reasons and consequences of Yin Xiong's name. After listening to Ma Changbao's story, Pan Mengyuan laughed even happier.

"In a battle, he was single and only took the heads of the enemy generals and became the captain, and he really lived up to the name of Yin Xiong." Pan Mengyuan exclaimed. He had learned about Yin Xiong from other aspects before Ma Changbao came. Pan Mengyuan was both surprised and surprised at this naturalized Indian soldier.

"However, compared with his merits, the captain's position is a bit aggrieved him. Let's do this, give him a post of whistle chief." Pan Mengyuan said, then picked up the pen and modified it after Yin Xiong's name, and then nodded with satisfaction.

The army organization of Xinming was basically the same as that of the new army organization, with four basic structures: troops, teams, posts and battalions, and then three levels of regiments, divisions and army were set up on it. The military chief officers of each level were uniformly called "captains", which was the same as the actual position. In other words, the captain was the platoon leader, and the commander of the sentry was the company commander.

As an ordinary soldier who had just joined the army, Yin Xiong was not even the first-class soldier in later generations, at best, second-class recruits. There were non-commissioned officers and lieutenants on the army, and then they were lieutenants. For example, Ma Changbao now believed in the lieutenants and was the regiment commander. If he was promoted again, he could touch the edge of the general and even lead the first division as the chief officer.

From a soldier to a non-commissioned officer, this range is not very large. It is basically possible to make contributions or serve for a certain period of time. However, it is difficult to be promoted from a non-commissioned officer to a lieutenant officer. It must be a big contribution, or you can only serve after entering the military academy to further study in martial arts.

Considering that Yin Xiong made great contributions this time, Ma Changbao specially promoted him to the lieutenant and appointed him as the captain, which was equivalent to saying that he had stepped from the big head to the ranks of officers in one step. The speed of promotion was rare in the army, but who would have thought that Pan Mengyuan would be changed directly to the sentry commander, which was equivalent to going further, which surprised Ma Changbao.

"Master, this seems inappropriate?" Ma Changbao advised hesitantly: "Yin Xiong certainly has great achievements, but after all, his military service is short, and although he is brave, he has many battles and has no experience in leading troops. Now he is promoted to the commander of the sentry. Although it is the commander who is very kind to him, Bei Zhi feels that it is a bit suspicious of helping him grow. Therefore, Bei Zhi thought it would be not too late to let him be the captain first, and it would be better to be promoted later."

Ma Changbao's words were not meant to suppress Yin Xiong. After all, as a naturalized soldier, Yin Xiong did have the problems he mentioned. Even if he made contributions, if he was promoted too high at once, it would be extremely unfavorable for his future growth. So Ma Changbao thought about it and felt that the position of captain was the most appropriate. On the one hand, Yin Xiong could complete the leap from a soldier to an officer, and on the other hand, he could gradually learn how to command and fight in the position of captain. As for the issue of military rank, as long as Yin Xiong is capable and trained for a certain period of time, he will naturally have a lot of opportunities in the future.
