Liaodong Province, Zhenbei Pass, early morning!

With the magic of the sun, the loud sound of the military horn sounded, and the familiar tune made Zhu Youxiao wake up from his slumber. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn later generations, this kind of trumpet was the voice he had heard and hated every day for two years.

It's just that when he changed the environment, he missed it so much that he even reproduced it. After waking up, Zhu Youxiao did not lie in bed, but immediately dressed and got up. Outside the door, there is hot water and towels that the orderly has already prepared. This kind of thing cannot be avoided in the military camp of later generations, let alone the feudal dynasty of this rank.

After dealing with personal physical hygiene, he walked out of his Chinese army tent refreshed and began his daily training. Having practiced martial arts since childhood, he has long been accustomed to all this. A strong display of force can not only enhance one's prestige, but also strengthen one's body, so why not.

When the Yulin Army was first formed, a single force helped him a lot, allowing him to establish his prestige as the commander of the army.

For many years, even if he ascended the throne and became emperor, he did not give up these. Being a human being in two lives has given him the willpower and execution that are difficult for ordinary people to have.

Zhu Youxiao's army was not stationed in Zhenbei Pass, not even in Liaodong Province, but in the vast prairie outside Zhenbei Pass.

The Horqin Grassland and the Songnen Plain are intertwined to form a vast area where the Horqin tribe of the Mongolian tribe lives.

It's just that now the vast area here is occupied by Zhu Youxiao, and 100,000 troops are stationed on the grassland, launching a huge operation, sweeping the entire Mongolia in Liaodong. The entire left-wing Mongolia, including the Mongol tribes in Liaodong, was empty, and there were no idle nomadic tribes except for the personnel under Zhu Youxiao's command and the Horqin tribe.

After pulling out all the adult men who resisted and sending them back to Guannai to build roads and mine, the other personnel, Zhu Youxiao, did not bother to manage, but all promoted Han slaves who were indispensable to all tribes to manage.

The identity of the savior and the emperor made these people very obedient, and the life they hated before made them very aware of the operation of the steppe tribes, and after the layers were divided, a strict management system could be formed.

Although this system is still very sparse, for Zhu Youxiao, who took Mongolia under his command at the beginning, it is enough to have a system that can be managed in depth, and in Guannai, his imperial power plan to go to the countryside has just begun. Although Mongolia's system is sloppy, it can be managed in depth.

After that, it is a nomadic area, a dispatch of officials, and the establishment of a management center. To this end, Zhu Youxiao built more than a dozen small cities on the prairie from Chahanhot to Zhenbeiguan (the geographical error in the front, there is an explanation in the back. ）

At present, the city is still under construction, from Baicheng all the way south to the Great Wall. With cement, it is much easier to build a city on the grassland, although the city is useless for the central army that has been firearmed, but it is still very good to resist the grassland peoples.

The main force in the construction of the city was these herdsmen, who had to maintain a life of grazing while also working hard to build the city. If it weren't for Zhang Shize's gradually plump cavalry and hussar army patrolling and suppressing the bombs every day, I am afraid that these herdsmen would have rebelled like some landlords in Guannei.

Although some of the bullets were a little laborious, Zhu Youxiao did not waver in his strategy of becoming a city step by step, and wanted to effectively occupy and digest the grassland, which was a necessary consumption.

As the city was built, officials began to be injected into it, and the city defense corps of each city began to be established. Zhu Youxiao, the city defense army here, did not send people from the central army, but used the Mongols who surrendered to the Mongols, as well as those Han Chinese slaves who were not suitable for integration into the army.

For the turmoil in Mongolia from time to time, their suppression was even more ruthless, and the bloody killings soon made the entire left-wing Mongolia settle down, and it unfolded step by step with the establishment of one city after another.

The officials who come to Mongolia to serve are also sent by the officials, but obviously as long as people with normal brains will not write about being officials in this kind of place in the future, no oil and water is still a trivial matter, but no political achievements are asking for old life, every political achievement, what to use to be promoted.

Seeing that the emperor broke the unspoken rule that non-Hanlin was not allowed to enter the cabinet, as long as he thought he had some ability, he aimed at the nine university scholar positions in the cabinet. In a place like Mongolia that is so remote that the emperor will forget you, what political achievements can impress the emperor?

Therefore, in the end, those who came to the Mongolian steppe were all officials who made mistakes, such as those who were implicated in the Red Pill coup but were not imprisoned, those who were in the Nanzhili Rebellion Suppression, and those who were unclear with the rebel clans, and some who were entangled by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

And now the local popularity, let the prisoners in the prison give full play to the labor force, carry out land reclamation, road construction, city construction and other labor reform affairs, officialdom also carried forward this advantage, after the errant scholars are deprived of their fame, directly sent to the countryside to teach, and the errant officials, only a little better, retained the official body, but also sent to the frontier to be an official, manage the general affairs, and the whole family followed.

Moreover, they must do a good job if they are stained, otherwise the whole family will die on the prairie for the rest of their lives. Faced with the burden of the family, these officials can only work hard and work hard.

For example, the unlucky prefect Chen Xin, just because he was confused for a while and exceeded his authority, he was taken down and sent to the prairie, and the whole family accompanied him, his wife, his children, and even the same clan in his house who were a little involved with him were all distributed.

Zhu Youxiao has never been soft on officials' mistakes, and he is also directly involved, one person makes a mistake, and the whole family and even some relatives will suffer.

Fortunately, Chen Xin's mistake was not very serious, so he was assigned to a fairly good place, Baicheng, which was the original Chahanhot. It has a very advantageous geographical advantage, with a valley leading to Xilin Gol and a connection to Liaodong, which will become the political and economic center of left-wing Mongolia.

Obviously, unlike Kannai, this place is close to the provincial capital, and life will definitely be much better, at least food, clothing, housing and transportation will not be too bad.

After sending all the cavalry out and dealing with hundreds of thousands of Mongolian tribes, Zhu Youxiao took the remaining infantry to start rectification and training.

There is also this magnificent scene now.

From the heavenly point of view, with Zhu Youxiao's Chinese army tent as the center, countless tents are densely distributed around, these tents are not messy and scattered, but clustered together, and between each cluster, there will be a huge gap. This is a training ground that has been set aside.

In the south, clusters of tents also consciously formed a huge passage, at the end of the passage, there is Zhenbei Pass, and at the other end is Zhu Youxiao's Chinese army tent. Under the crushing of countless ruts, the grass on the avenue was almost not crushed.

Due to the long-term garrison and the transportation of a large number of materials, a wide cement road was urgently built between Zhenbeiguan and Shenyang, which was connected with the road from Beijing to Shenyang before, so as to facilitate the traffic between Zhu Youxiao and the cabinet of Beijing Division.

After exercising in the morning and having breakfast, Zhu Youxiao began to ride a horse and inspect the barracks to check the education and training of various units.

Different units have different progress and different training methods, so they are carried out differently every day.

Just like the Hosoliu Army, because the army was formed relatively late and there were few veterans in the army, the first thing to carry out was literacy education, faith education, loyalty and honor education. First, we will deepen the tradition, form an atmosphere, and baptize the will, and then start hard training to have a higher ability to endure.

As teachers, there are local officers who have grown up from the grassroots level, Jinshi officers who have been sent abroad, and Taoist priests who have been taught by the Emperor of Heaven, and the subjects they teach are different and the content is also different.

In the army, the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Emperor Temple are a group of alternative existences, they are not counted in the establishment, and they do not have military ranks or positions, their ranks are according to the inner government, and they are also responsible for the unity of the ideological field, psychological counseling and life-saving and helping the wounded.

Their military camp is separate, and in addition to Taoist priests, there are many Jianghu Langzhong and female nurses. The nurses come from either family members of convicts, women who are now being taken directly from the grasslands, and even children running around and babies who need to be cared for.

Judging from the rules of the barracks, this place can be called chaos, but it strangely shows a sense of warmth, and many soldiers who are tired of training like to linger around here, whether it is to look at the nurses who occasionally flash beautifully, or to look at those cute children, they can let them relieve the pent-up emotions in their hearts.

And Zhu Youxiao is happy to see this situation, as long as he does anything, and this is what he hopes the Emperor of Heaven will do, spread a positive national spirit, save the dead and help the wounded, and take care of the old and weak.

Every day, when he is on patrol, he also likes to come here the most, not to mention that he can comfort the sergeant with an injured hand, and he can relax himself. No, after turning around inside, there were a lot of children around him immediately.

He kicked his foot lightly, kicking away a little boy the size of three or four years old, wearing open crotch pants, who was holding his calf and gnawing violently, and then said to the orderly who came with him, "Take it out." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The orderly answered, and then untied the burden behind him, which was not an unusual thing, just some maltose, but in this era when even salt was a scarce commodity, these things that seemed ordinary or even inferior to modern people were out-and-out luxuries.

Not to mention these Mongolian orphans, many adults can't eat them even in time.

As soon as the malt candy was taken out, the orderly was surrounded by a group of children, both of whom were looking at him unblinkingly with instinctive eyes that were desperate for sugar.

Fortunately, the young orderly has dealt with such a scene many times, and he has long been resistant to these bright eyes, otherwise he would really have to be in a hurry to change someone.

"Haha!" Looking at this scene, Zhu Youxiao laughed heartily, and then, he didn't care about the orderly soldiers who were surrounded and couldn't move, and left with the guards.

Let the BMW under his crotch walk by the reins, Zhu Youxiao is where he goes, where he sees.

In the Xiliu army, there are reading voices everywhere, reading students, as well as his familiar, A Bang Bang pinyin sound, Mandarin and Chinese pinyin are gradually spreading with the increase of the army, in Zhu Youxiao's lifetime, he is very hopeful to see this Han lingua franca spread to the entire empire.

In addition to the sound of reading, there are also some speeches, or impassioned, or whispering grievances, or solemn oaths, all kinds of situations, although the situation is different, but in general, in a positive atmosphere.

During the stroll, I soon got out of the range of the Hosoliu Army, and arrived, the chassis of the Yulin Army.

Unlike the sound of reading aloud, there is indeed an atmosphere of solemnity and autumn wind here. As the army with the most veterans and the source of all the central army, the army construction here has always been the best, regardless of the soldiers' training, ideological education, military medical system, and skill training, it has always been proud of all troops.

At this moment, what Li Yuyu and his people are practicing is the latest military formation tactics. As soon as Zhu Youxiao appeared, he was discovered by Li Yuyu, who was also patrolling the training unit, and he immediately trotted over with the officers of the General Staff.

"See Your Majesty." Despite the armor on his body, Li Yuyu still made a big gift. This is his reverence from the bottom of his heart, for Li Yuyu, the army construction of His Majesty the Emperor can realize the deepest dream in his heart.

starve to death and do not plunder, freeze to death without demolishing houses, and drink horses and fish in the sea.

"Get up." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, his face a little helpless. Regarding Li Yuyu's attitude, he said several times that there was no need to be so cumbersome in the army, but the other party didn't listen, and every time as long as he wasn't in wartime, he was like this, which made everyone else very reluctant to face Li Yuyu together.

After all, Li Yuyu, who is the first person in the army, has knelt down, can you still kneel?

However, no one has any complaints about what Li Yuyu has done, after all, as the head of the three Li in the army, the temperament and ideas of the three of them have been widely circulated, and everyone knows a thing or two about what Li Yuyu thinks in his heart.

"How's the training for the new tactical arrangement?" After everyone got up, Zhu Youxiao asked.

"It's going well, the second musket is very powerful, and after removing the cover of the spear phalanx, it can resist the cavalry charge by firing from the musket alone." Li Yuyu replied carefully, and then described the training situation in detail, these tactics were all designed by Zhu Youxiao, and he naturally understood it.

While listening, the two of them discussed, while everyone else was waiting for the monkey next to them, and as for the training, it was still non-stop, and the formation was very lively.

After starting from Zhangjiakou, after fighting all the way, Zhu Youxiao found that the army's tactical construction was a little backward, and the armor-piercing range of the Apocalypse II musket was only 15 meters longer than that of the first type, but it was a qualitative leap, and not only that, but in terms of effective range, the second type of musket completely exploded, reaching an astonishing 200 meters.

At this distance, as long as it is not ironclad, it can deal damage of all sizes.

In terms of production process, the two types are faster, after all, the rolling iron sheet can only be done by manpower, but the use of forging and drilling can use hydraulic machinery, which is more than an order of magnitude faster. There is no technical difficulty in moving from manpower to water power, just a transformation of production methods and thinking.

With the current output of more than 20,000 birds a month, it is enough for Zhu Youxiao to use and train a large number of them.

After removing the cover of the spearmen, the power of the dense array of musketeers is enough to crush all the infantry and cavalry, the cavalry that is too dense has cannons, and the scattered charges are greeted by muskets, and in the scattered ........ are scattered, hehe, are you kidding, to the extent that the muskets can't kill much, is such cavalry still powerful?

Dare to be so scattered, the cavalry commander of the Yulin Army teaches each other to be a man in minutes.

Therefore, after seeing the excellent performance of the musket in the actual battle, Zhu Youxiao moved his mind to dismiss the spearmen, after all, they did not play a role in the whole attack and defense.

However, in consideration of the complex and changeable combat environment, Zhu Youxiao still retained this melee cold weapon unit, but the number of people began to be drastically reduced, and each army only retained 5,000 men and the establishment of one brigade.

Moreover, these 5,000 people are not simple spearmen, Zhu Youxiao is ready to train them according to the ideas of some special forces. Of course, not the special forces of later generations, but just pure, multifunctional breakthrough penetration all-round forces in close combat.

Now, the Ministry of Military Industry has been able to make large-scale steel, although the number of each production is relatively small, but it is good to open a few more open hearths, in this era, to be able to large-scale steelmaking is an advantage of the lead, the cost or something, at the national level, it is not important.

With the investment of a large amount of manpower, material and funds, all kinds of steel produced by the iron and steel plant, in addition to the upgrading and consumption of supply hardware, can barely supply the consumption of all-steel equipment for infantry of a brigade.

Spears, knives, all-steel cuirasses, chain mail, bows, ropes, stabs, etc., are all equipment of these people. Any of the creeps in it are characters who can walk like a fly after wearing double armor.

Skirts and chain mail, skewered with steel plates, sturdy cuirass, and steel helmets, they are fully armed with humanoid tanks that are frontal impact.

With such heavy equipment, it is natural that the selected candidates are all strong and well-informed, and the steel armor and chain mail on their bodies are all refined equipment, and they can even resist the impact of muskets at close range. These guys are often heavily armored and carry long-handled Mo knives, and under the charge in formation, often the musket array may not be able to stop it.

Affected by this, there are also many people in the cavalry clamoring to copy this heavy class of troops as it is, but Zhu Youxiao was not only moved at the beginning, but then he made a firm decision, and the era of firearms has gradually come, and these ancient melee arms will eventually be eliminated.

And the reason why he is equipped with 5,000 infantry is still to take into account the needs of diversified operations, but even so, the number is strictly limited, and they also have to train a lot of special operations skills such as reconnaissance, assassination, and infiltration, in order to maximize the value.

The cavalry of all units, as well as the two cavalry corps of hussars and cavalry, were still dominated by cuirassiers, but their equipment was gradually replaced with steel. However, the situation of the entire army has changed dramatically.

5,000 heavy assault infantry, 10,000 cuirassiers, 5,000 artillery and logistics men, 30,000 musketeers. Multiple classes of troops, forming a complete army.

Moreover, not only the changes in the troops, but also the artillery, Li Yuyu and Li Tao began to re-ask for long-range cannons, as well as large-caliber and light-weight red-coated cannons.

Smart people can draw inferences from each other, such a huge scale of army operations, but also let the two of them grow up, although this time did not use these two cannons, but looking at the city wall explained, as well as the mountains, they can estimate in their minds, in such a situation, what equipment can exert greater power.

Zhu Youxiao complied with all of their requests, without the slightest impatience.

War is like this, and it gradually increases with the accumulation of experience, not only are they learning and growing, but so is Zhu Youxiao.

:(I'm sorry, the geography is poor, I got the wrong location of the Great Khing'an Mountains, the Great Khing'an Mountains is on the right side of Chahanhot, and that valley is through the Great Khing'an Mountains, leading to Xilin Gol, not to Liaodong, from Chahanhot to Liaodong is the Horqin Grassland, sorry. However, the war between Huang Taiji and Li Tu is still taking place in the valley, just a valley of the grassland, and I will go to the front to modify it when I have time. ）
