With the arrival of November, winter has entered in a blink of an eye, and the Fuhan army at this time is in full swing, and new recruits continue to join in, so that the shouts of the military camp are getting louder and louder day by day.

The Governor's silver flowed out like water, and in addition to making flintlock pistols and artillery, he also made a batch of improvised bayonet shields, which were in fact relatively rudimentary, just a large plank of wood with burrs on them, which could only be used for temporary use.

The bayonet is improved according to the style drawn by Ning Yu before, about a foot long, it can be used on the waist in peacetime, and can be hung on the muzzle in wartime, compared to the previous bayonet, the material used is tougher, so it is less easy to break in battle.

Especially with the advent of winter, the political hall also sent people to the people to buy cotton clothes at a high price, and also hired women from the entire Wuchang City to sew military clothes for the Fu Han army.

Whether it is inside or outside the city, there are people and carts coming in and out everywhere, and all kinds of materials are being transported to Wuchang City, after all, after a while, I am afraid that this place will become the front line of the war. Whether it is the Qing army or the Han army, they are racing against time.

Ning Zhongyuan was not idle, he took Ning Zhongjing, Cui Wancai and others to the barracks day by day, one is to check the preparation of the Fu Han army today, and on the other hand, it is naturally to stimulate the fighting spirit, don't look at the Fu Han army at this time There are more than 20,000 people, but the situation is much more complicated than the previous thousands of people, many people are directly converted from the green camp prisoners, although these people have cut their braids, but loyalty is difficult to guarantee.

Ning Yu had no better way, so he could only assign the original soldiers of the Eagle Battalion to each battalion and hold important positions, and also appropriated all the systems in the original Eagle Battalion, and set up a staff office, a teaching office and other departments, which could not only play a role in boosting morale on weekdays, but also monitor the movements of each battalion to prevent them from harboring bad intentions.

In addition to equipment and systems, Ning Yu was able to introduce some new things, but he was blind in the command of the war, although Ning Yu had fought a few battles before. However, strictly speaking, those battles were not regular army battles, but mainly surprise attacks, if they really fought a war in the eighteenth century, Ning Yu's current ability was not enough.

Fortunately for Ning Yu, the Ning family was originally a military heirloom, and he actually had a lot of experience in war command, otherwise with his personal ability, there would be no way to deal with today's war mode, because now this war mode has both a large-scale cold weapon war and some firearms.

Fortunately, Ning Yu has a good father, who is a rare general in this era, and knows that he must go step by step at the beginning, so he first gave Ning Yu the opportunity to go to Taohua Mountain to practice his hands, and then fought Wuchang City or Daye, so he let Ning Yu practice his hands as much as possible, so he gave Ning Yu the opportunity to learn from the battlefield.

In the school parade hall of Wuchang City, Ning Zhongyuan stood in the center wearing armor, and Ning Zhongjing, Cui Wancai, and Ning Zhongxin stood on the side, they were all civilians, so they were wearing long coats, as for Ning Yu and Ning Zhongyi, who were also wearing armor and standing aside, and some elders of the Cheng family and the Zheng family were also standing on the high platform.

In the open space below them was the Fu Han army after the reorganization was completely completed, a total of 15,000 people, and a full 120 artillery pieces were placed in front of the formation, all of which were the latest thunder cannons, which could be called magnificent.

In a sense, this review is not only a preparation before the expedition, but also a way for other big families to rest assured that the Ning family is reliable and it is right to follow the Fu Han army.

This is a miracle, it only took two months to initially integrate a basically well-equipped army, which is different from those peasant rebel armies in the past, this Fu Han army is more like a regular army than the Qing army's green battalion in terms of military discipline and appearance. Of course, in this process, Ning, Cheng and the Zheng family almost did their best, so this show is also an explanation for them.

The 15,000 Fu Han soldiers wore red military uniforms, belts around their waists, and leggings created by Ning Yu on their legs, which were extremely convenient when marching, and could also be used as bandages in emergencies.

Cui Wancai said with a smile: "My Han family originally belonged to the fire virtue, and now the lord has raised troops in Chudi, and he uses fire as a celestial phenomenon, which is really the destiny of heaven." The Qing court went down to the Central Plains from the north, and it was the virtue of water, as the Tao cycle today, and it should be overcome by our Chu army. ”

Regardless of whether this is reasonable or not, anyway, everyone's faces were full of joy when they said it, and Ning Zhongyuan smiled even more: "Now that there is such a strong army, what are these tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers?" Just with that group of old soldiers? Or the Jingzhou Eight Banners that can't even ride a horse? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing, but the soldiers in the audience straightened their chests even more, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly.

Ning Yu's face was also slightly colorful, looking at the elders of Ning, Cheng, Zheng and other families beside him, and said with a smile: "The Fu Han army is currently full of 15,000 people, organized into three divisions, equipped with 120 artillery pieces, and when tens of thousands of Qing troops come to attack, they can be wiped out!" ”

"The prosperity of martial virtue is nothing more than this!" Cheng Yuanzhi also laughed with a wrinkled face, although this old man is a thief in his heart, he understands that when he gets on the ship of the Ning family, he basically lives and dies together, but after all, he is still playing the drum in his heart, what if he can't resist it? Now that he saw this mighty master, he naturally let go of half of his heart. At least in Old Man Cheng's heart, it is countless stronger than the weak Green Camp.

Ning Yu continued, "Among the three divisions, I personally serve as the commander of the first division, Cheng Zhien, the chief of staff of the division, the commander of the second division is Ning Zhongyi, the fourth uncle, Ning Zhongyi, the commander of the second division, Zheng Hongen serves as the chief of staff of the division, Cheng Ming serves as the commander of the third division, and Ning Zuyi, the chief of staff. ”

At that moment, several men came out, all of them were full of energy, their eyes were like torches, and they were all men who had been polished in the army for a long time. Among them, Zheng Hongen, Cheng Ming and Ning Zuyi are the backbone of these families, and as for the original backbone of the Eagle Battalion and the backbone of the Hanyang Battalion, the highest is currently only a regiment commander.

This is not Ning Yu's nepotism, but a forced move at the moment. Before the establishment of a real professional officer system, Ning Yu could only ensure the absolute loyalty of the Fu Han army.
