As Zheng Chenggong said, this army has indeed made great progress in the past two years, but there are still huge problems in the proportion of troops. The cavalry, in particular, is not only small in quantity, but also in quality. This point, not only did he see it, but all the generals under his command understood it, so that when Wang Qifeng returned to the point platform, the generals' eyes were very different when they looked at the new general.

"Wang Shuai has good means, in the future, this iron riding town will depend on Wang Shuai."

"The last general will do his best, please rest assured."

Wang Qifeng bowed down on one knee, and Zheng Chenggong helped him up with both hands. The Zheng Group was originally a maritime and pirate group, and the sailors were the best in the China Sea, but on the land, they were dwarfed by much. Among them, the infantry and artillery are fine, at least one is the usual use of the southern soldiers, and the other can simply draw artillery groups from sea ships, but the cavalry, whether it is Jiangsu, Zhejiang, or Fujian and Guangdong, the rich land on the southeast coast, has never been a place to produce horses, and even the Yunnan horses that are more suitable for carrying goods are not available here.

However, on the battlefield, the cavalry's strong mobility and the huge momentum that it carries often have the ability to make a final decision. Zheng Chenggong needs experienced cavalrymen to improve the combat ability of his cavalry, which is why Chen Kai believes that Shi Lang's advice will not be adopted by Zheng Chenggong, because although Wang Qifeng was originally just a garrison, he is just a cavalry general, and he has some experience in training cavalry.

"Cavalry, not like the dignified array of foot soldiers, is a detached soldier. The so-called clutch soldiers, to put it bluntly, need to work together to attack, they must be gathered into one at the fastest speed and in the most appropriate way; When it is necessary to disperse, it is necessary to disperse it as quickly as possible and in the most appropriate way, without the slightest hesitation. ”

"What kind of choices need to be made at what time, and in what way do you need to complete it?"

This is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence or two. But from today onwards, kill the enemy's horses, cut the ears of the horses, and behead them in the same way! ”

Tieqi Town launched training on Dongshan Island, Zheng Chenggong's army, some stayed on Dongshan Island, and some returned to Nanao Island, with the liaison of the sailors, and it was very simple for the army to regroup, and now the difference is nothing more than an opportunity.

On Nanao Island, the barracks of the headquarters of the town and the barracks of the original Guangdong battalion and the Fujian battalion in the city were filled with troops again, and even the place outside the city that had been abandoned for a long time, which was originally used by the soldiers and horses of Zhongchong Town, Zuochong Town and Youchong Town, when they were first built, was also reorganized, but only a battalion head of Zhongchong Town and Zuochong Town lived in, because that camp was originally only designed for 1,500 soldiers.

The Ke brothers returned to South Australia, met their parents, reunited with their wives and children, and stayed until the evening, when Ke Chenshu compared Ke Ping's knowledge. After a while, the level of Confucianism and the growth seem to have not surprised him, but Baguwen seems to have not grown at all, just no regression, but compared with the last exam, it is obviously a lot more active in the brain, not as straightforward as the original, with a little pedantic at a young age.

"If you really learn from someone, you will learn what you will learn. When my son grows up, the world will be peaceful, but he has to take the imperial examination. I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for you to preach and get a job. ”

Ke Chenshu smiled and said to himself, if it was a bad thing, in fact, he didn't really think that way. Not to mention, Ke Ping, Hong Xu and Chen Yonghua have grown a lot of insight with Chen Kai, which Hong Xu and Chen Ding have praised on different occasions, and their minds are more active, which is a lifelong benefit, and it is always more beneficial than studying for the imperial examination.

Here Ke Chenshu inquired about Ke Ping with great interest, what did Chen Kai teach them on weekdays, and he kept falling into thought, and suddenly realized again. But Chen Kai, the initiator, is not on Nanao Island at all.

"Join the army, the wind in the mountains is cold, you better go to the tent to rest."

Cai Qiao, a man with five big and three thick, but his heart is as delicate as his name. Under the protection of Zheng Chenggong's personal guards, Chen Kai set out from Dongshan Island, landed in the Xinwei area on the opposite bank, and then headed all the way north to Guanpi Town, the second capital of Zhao'an. Or, the destination of Chen Kai's trip was simply the Changlin Temple he had visited last year.

"It's okay, it's not cold, it's like someone is talking about me."

"Isn't it a little lady from a family who has a spring heart for joining the army, and is looking forward to joining the army and going to her house to propose."

"Yes, the soldiers are valuable, dignified, and talented, and even the national surname is praised, which little lady doesn't fall in love when she sees it."

The two pro-soldiers who were also gathered around the bonfire were joking, but it was Cai Qiao, who turned his head and glared at them, so frightened that the two didn't even dare to roast the fire, and hurriedly went to patrol the sentry, and they fled and disappeared.

"These boys don't talk big or small, and I hope to forgive me when I join the army, and when I do this, I will be severely punished for my humble duties."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm the one who doesn't talk about that red tape. Besides, what they said is right, I, Chen Kai, have always been so good, in case any little lady is really interested in me, maybe it will still be a good marriage. ”

Chen Kai has a good temper, and he has no quarrel with their guards and soldiers, and they are all in the eyes along the way. If it is someone else, they dare not make such jokes, but with Chen Kai, it will always be much easier, and they will be subtly relaxed.

In contrast, Cai Qiao has always followed Zheng Chenggong, his coach has strict military law, is not emotional, and does everything with a clear eye. Of course, it's one thing to be habitual, but more importantly, as a personal guard, he also knows more about the inside story - the Chen in front of him joins the army, who looks kind and angry, but in fact he is not really good-tempered, thinking of the relative who took down Hong Xu when they met, thinking of the figure who broke out in the general military mansion of Chaozhou Mansion and fought with his life, and thinking of the character who dared to needle the tip of the needle in the face of a small army like Shi Lang, the more he dared not have the slightest slack.

In September, in late autumn, the temperature in southern Fujian is getting cooler and cooler. Indeed, as Cai Qiao said, the deeper the mountain breeze is at night, the more cold it is to look at the clothes.

After chatting for a while as usual, Chen Kai returned to the tent to rest. After walking for a few days, there are only more than 100 miles between Rao is Dongshan Island and Guanpi Town, but over the mountains and mountains, relying on the guide, the road is familiar, and all the shortcuts are taken, but it also really took several days on the road.

Today, I went to this col to take shelter from the wind, and I was also greedy for the trip. However, tomorrow will not only arrive in Guanbei Town to rest, but can directly reach the final destination of Changlin Temple, but it is not bad for the mountain breeze this night. Sure enough, by noon the next day, they had really passed by Guanpi Town, and by the afternoon, they had arrived at Changlin Temple.

There, Lu Ruoteng's younger brother Lu Ruoji, the Taoist monk and several other brothers of the Wan family, as well as Lin Dezhong, who had been sent here by Chen Kai for four or five months, had all received the news and were waiting at the mountain gate. And a moment later, in the open space in front of Changlin Temple, Rulin's spear pointed straight to the sky. Under the sunset, even if the scale is pitifully small, the firmness like the mountains of southern Fujian that surrounds them is still presented in front of Chen Kai's eyes.
