Zhu Xieyuan did not make a decision, he had just arrived in the camp today, and the first thing to do was to get acquainted with the main generals, know where their respective skills were, and touch their temperaments.

After a lot of promotion, there are a few people's details, and Zhu Xieyuan feels that he already knows almost everything.

Wang Wei, the chief soldier of Jizhen, was promoted from a small soldier to the chief soldier by virtue of his military exploits, and all the way over, he stepped on the bones of the enemy, and he must have his real skills, and he is a person who can fight tough battles.

Compared with Wang Wei, his younger brother Wang Bao, the general of Jizhou, is not so trusted.

It is rumored that Wang Baoqi bullied the weak and feared the hard, was very happy with his achievements, greedy for money and lustful, and often scolded soldiers and embezzled military salaries.

Such a person, I'm afraid that his combat effectiveness is not much stronger...

The rest of the people, Ningxia Xiao Ruxun, are experienced veterans, Yulin You Shiwei, Hou Shilu and other generals, are also brave and good at fighting, and if they are used well, they can be ten with one.

Zhu Xieyuan doesn't look at the resume, he only pays attention to the battles and slashes that everyone has endured.

For example, the head of the generals, Jiang Rang Jiang, the general soldier of Yulin, made Jiang Dashuai, and Zhu Xieyuan did not find him to participate in any big battles.

The biggest time was just to resist Kou Bian of the Mongol Han Department, cutting two hundred, and the rest of the time, he was just blessed by his ancestors, and his official fortune was prosperous all the way.

Among these troops gathered, there are many real elites, and there are many good generals who dare to fight and can fight, but in the same way, there are more wastes that will only eat.

What he had to do before leaving the customs was to screen out the capable and incapable, and not let those who were nothing drag down the whole army, and that was enough.

Of course, he also has to bring out a typical general who has prestige but is nothing, and straightens his prestige in the three armed forces with a righteous military heart.

Zhu Xieyuan understood that if he wanted to truly command the three armies, and his own military orders could be effective during the war, it was obviously not enough to rely on the emperor's support alone...

On the second day after arriving at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Zhu Xieyuan began to inspect the ordnance and equipment of each battalion, and held a drill in the camp in the name of testing artillery.

When the soldiers heard that Zhu Xieyuan was born as a literati, they were all a little curious.

Zhu Xieyuan's literati background is true, but the literati in the late Ming Dynasty were different from those in the Song Dynasty.

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were born in literati, Sun Chuanting formed the Tianxiong Army in Yulin, and governed the Jiangmen family including Jiang Rang obediently, can he do it without real ability?

Lu Xiangsheng was transferred from the Hanlin Academy to Nanzhili by the holy decree of Zhu Youxiao, and soon incorporated and reorganized the local rebels and the Weisuo army, and established a new army called the Tianxiong Army.

Of course, the Tianxiong Army has no record yet, and its members are also the officers and soldiers of the local guard station with low combat effectiveness and the rebel army of the last rebellion, and no one is optimistic about them.

But the thing is often that a truly capable person, no matter how the surrounding circumstances change, he will always be able to shine his own light in history.

Sun Chuanting is the best example, Zhu Youxiao did not give him the opportunity to develop slowly as in history.

When he first arrived in Yulin, he had nothing but an appointment from Zhu Youxiao, and he had trained a Qin army with strong combat power in less than a year and less than two years.

As soon as the Qin army arrived in Suzhou, they quickly quelled the local mutiny, and this began to be taken seriously.

Zhu Xieyuan is the same, although he was born in a civilian official, he has been in Sichuan for a long time, and he has dealt with Hou Liangzhu's generals all the year round, and his face naturally exudes a tough temperament that can only be found in and out of the military camp all year round.

Even if some people are named as governors, they are also crowned by monkeys, and they are chewed behind their backs, and Zhu Xieyuan can give people the feeling of a Confucian general just by putting on armor and patrolling the camp.

He gives people the feeling that he is different from Jiang Rang's generals, and this kind of temperament can't be pretended.

As Zhu Xieyuan walked, he was also observing around.

He remembered the spirit of each battalion general, the ordnance and equipment, as well as every order of the general, and how the soldiers reacted.

These details are all factors in judging the combat effectiveness of an army.

This judgment affected whether Zhu Xieyuan's strategic deployment of each general was appropriate, and then he manipulated the overall battle situation.

Sometimes, a mistake in strategic deployment can affect the whole.

For example, in the battle of Salhu, the commander of the Northern Route Army, Marindo, held out for half a day, and the Fuyu Bu Zaisai who was marching led the cavalry to arrive, and it was possible to defeat the Jurchen cavalry on the northern route.

Or perhaps, neither Ma Lin nor Zai Sai could defeat the Jurchen cavalry, but the cooperation of the two sides lasted longer, giving Li Rubai and Liu Ling's army enough time to respond.

Then, the outcome of the Battle of Sarhu will be rewritten.

Perhaps, Yang Hao will switch the positions of Ma Lin, Li Rubai and Liu Ling, and the other two are stronger than Ma Lin, and the situation will be different.

It is precisely because of the importance of this war that Zhu Xieyuan will not let go of every detail and understand the seven marshals and thirty-six generals and their subordinate troops at the time of the promotion.

Time is running out, and every detail cannot be missed.

The ones summoned this time are either the elite border troops who live in the bitter cold land of the frontier all the year round, or the Beijing army who participated in the Southwest War last year.

Zhu Xieyuan looked around, and in general, the officers and men of each battalion were full of passion and vitality, and he was very surprised that he did not find the fear of war in the barracks.

In any case, in his opinion, the annual payment of millions of taels of military expenses by the imperial court has indeed seen a return.

The drill facilities in the camp include straw men and wooden figures wearing Mongolian and Jurchen armor, as well as false targets used to practice shooting for bird guns, and upside-down bows, guns, knives and guns can be seen everywhere.

He had just arrived yesterday and had not yet had time to give the order to practice.

During today's inspection, he found that many generals were spontaneously maintaining the progress of training, and even Jiang Rang, the general soldier of Yulin, who he had not had a good impression of before, was personally supervising the army's drills.

In the large camp, the shouts of killing did not stop, and the army's fighting enthusiasm was so high that Zhu Xieyuan had never seen it in Sichuan.

Before coming, Zhu Xieyuan never imagined that it would be like this.

To tell the truth, he was quite pessimistic when he received the decree in Sichuan, not that he was pessimistic, but he felt that the army's combat effectiveness and enthusiasm would not be very high.

Such an army will be pulled out and will only fail miserably one more time.

But after coming, he gradually discovered that this battle can really be fought!

It seems that the emperor's personal rectification in Jiubian and Kisuke has been quite effective so far, at least the soldiers of the border army and the Beijing army have been transformed.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a rumbling sound in the distance.

The sound came from the test artillery field, and Zhu Xieyuan walked in and found that the soldiers here were practicing firing a new type of artillery.

When the officer in charge of the test site saw it, he hurriedly ran to introduce:

"Inspector, these are the new cannons from the Ordnance Division."

"Last year, the imperial court captured a lot of Hongmaofan warships in Penghu, and the Zhenfu cannon was made by imitating the artillery dismantled from their warships."

"Although the red-haired fans are ugly, their artillery is indeed powerful! The firing range of an ordinary artillery piece is more than ten miles, and only the Hongyi cannon in our army can catch up with it now! ”

Zhu Xieyuan was shocked, walked to the side of the captive cannon, stroked the warm cannon body, and said incredulously: "Any cannon, the firing range is more than ten miles?" ”

"What other treasures are there on the ship of the red hairy fan?"

The officer in charge smiled and said: "The superintendent has been in the southwest for a long time, and he doesn't know much about these things, the officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division in the first battle of Penghu suffered a lot of casualties, but they were not fought in vain, and there are many treasures in that group of red-haired fans!" ”

"The soldiers all said, with these, we will go out to fight in the field, and we will no longer be afraid of Jiannu!"
