Chapter 42 Shipbuilding and Military Training (Part 1)
Zhang Songxi took the black jade intermittent ointment from Gao Cheng's hand, and carefully medicated Yu Daiyan's wounds, as soon as the ointment was applied, Yu Daiyan felt a cool breath pouring into his body, and his pale face suddenly surged with a ruddy mass, and his heart, which was originally as dry as stagnant water, felt hope for the first time.
"I have a feeling, this medicine is really effective!" Yu Daiyan said in a trembling voice.
Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi and others were ecstatic, Zhang Sanfeng also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Daiyan's injury was healed, and it also reduced his heart disease.
Gao Cheng saw the expressions of the people of the Wudang faction, and knew that the purpose of coming this time had been achieved, and when he raised troops in Jiangnan in the future and collected the land of Jianghan, the Wudang faction would definitely help him and reduce a lot of trouble.
Everyone stayed in Wudang Mountain for a few hours, and then Gao Cheng left a box of black jade intermittent ointment, politely refused Wudang's retention, and went down the mountain with hundreds of cavalry to gallop towards the land south of the Yangtze River.
......
Jiangnan, the headquarters of the Heavenly Eagle Sect!
After several days of hurrying, everyone finally came to Huzhou, where the main altar is located, this place is located on the south shore of Taihu Lake, it is the land of fish and rice, and it is also Yin Tianzheng's hometown. Even when he was in Mingjiao, he did not forget to develop his power in his hometown.
Now, most of the people near Huzhou, after being persecuted by the Tatars, have become members of the Heavenly Eagle Sect and accept the protection of the Heavenly Eagle Sect.
"Sect Master, now the nine big ships and the big and small ships are all in Taihu Lake, and there are three sea ships that are being built, which were originally going to go to sea to find the traces of Xie Xun and the little girl, but they have not yet been completed!"
In the lobby of the main altar, Yin Tian is introducing the power of the Heavenly Eagle Sect in Jiangnan, in addition to him, there are also the Heavenly City Hall Master Li Tianyuan, the five altar masters of the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Xuanwu, the Vermilion Bird, and the Divine Snake, among which the Xuanwu Altar Master is the White Turtle Shou who was stunned by Xie Xun in the Sword Standing Conference.
These people were all Yin Tianzheng's henchmen, and after the sect leader decided to reintegrate into the Ming Sect, they did not object.
They knew Yin Tianzheng's identity, and deep down they all regarded the Heavenly Eagle Sect as a branch of the Ming Sect in Jiangnan, and they usually called the people of the Five Elements Banner in Jiangnan brothers, and there was no barrier.
Gao Cheng said: "These ships are not enough, we must form a strong naval army in the south of the Yangtze River, and then we must continue to build ships, in addition, we must take advantage of the time when the Mengyuan army is attracted to Huaibei in the Central Plains, seize the time to train!"
He glanced at Yin Tianzheng, King Yin Ye, and a few altar masters, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, if you want to train the army, you must first have a general, these people are all reckless, how do you know the means of fighting in the army.
"It seems that the Wu Mu suicide note in the dragon slaying knife is really a treasure for the Ming Sect to seize the world, if there is no such systematic military book, there is no hope at all if you want to defeat the Mengyuan cavalry with a group of rivers and lakes recklessly!"
Gao Cheng thought in his heart that Chang Yuchun was fighting with the Tartars in Yuanzhou, and it was not appropriate to call him over, so he could only go up first for the time being.
"How many disciples do I have in Jiangnan now, and how many can I choose?" he turned his gaze to King Yin Ye.
When Yin Tianzheng was not doing anything, everything in the Heavenly Eagle Sect was in charge of King Yin Ye, and this young sect leader of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, in addition to his good martial arts, his skills and scheming were all excellent.
King Yin Ye thought for a moment, and then replied: "If you say that there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary sect members, but if you choose the best from them, you can only choose 100,000 for the time being. ”
Gao Cheng said: "There are too many 100,000 people, and Huzhou alone can't afford to raise an army of 100,000, so let's pass on my order, first select 5,000 from these 100,000 people, transfer them to the main altar, I will train them personally, and I must train them to be elite!"
"When these 5,000 people are trained, the old will lead the new, and soon we will be able to pull up an army of 100,000!"
King Yin Ye hurriedly received the order, but he had some doubts in his heart, the elite men and horses of the Five Elements Banner added up to about 10,000, and the sect leader trained 5,000 people at once, and the combat effectiveness in a short period of time was worrying.
Gao Cheng noticed his expression, and knew in his heart that the other party probably thought that he was practicing soldiers and horses similar to the Five Elements Banner, which was the essence of Mingjiao, and in the heyday of Mingjiao, only 10,000 people were trained with the power of the whole sect.
Although the power of the Heavenly Eagle Sect in Huzhou is strong, if it builds ships and trains elites, it will not be able to withstand such attrition at all.
"Sect Master, with our current gold and silver materials, training 5,000 elites, I'm afraid it's too much consumption! As the saying goes, a person who is poor in literature and rich in martial arts consumes a lot of grain, grass and silver, and 5,000 people cultivate together, I'm afraid it will take an astronomical amount!"
Yin Tianzheng also misunderstood, and hurriedly said out loud.
Gao Cheng laughed and said: "Don't worry, the Eagle King, these soldiers and horses I trained only need to cultivate for two months, and the main training is the battle formation queue and spear assassination, and they are ordinary soldiers who go into battle to fight, not the elite of the Five Elements Banner who can deal with the first-class masters of the rivers and lakes!"
Yin Tianzheng and everyone immediately understood, their consciousness was still in the stage of fighting in the rivers and lakes, as soon as they heard about the training of elites, they thought of cultivating martial arts masters, and they had not yet realized the difference between the recklessness of the rivers and lakes and the formal army.
Gao Cheng said: "In the future, the infantry soldiers will be trained by me, but the training of the navy will be taken care of by King Yin Ye and Li Tianyuan.
King Yin Ye and Li Tianyuan heard the five words of the Governor of the Water Army, and their hearts immediately surged, they hadn't read many books, but they heard many romance stories from the mouths of those storytellers, especially the matter of Zhou Yu, the Governor of Wu State, burning Chibi, which was widely spread in the south of the Yangtze River, did they also have the opportunity to become a character like Zhou Yu?
Not only the two of them, but even the altar masters of the five sub-altars of the Green Dragon and White Tiger also became excited when they heard that they had the opportunity to become the general of the Governor in charge of the naval army.
They didn't know that Gao Cheng's arrangement was completely out of helplessness, there were not many talents in his hands at this time, even if it was Liao Hua, he could only use it as Zhao Yun. The abilities of King Yin Ye and Li Tianyuan, temporarily training some sailors to operate ships, can barely come in handy.
This is just an expedient measure, as long as you wait until the army is raised, there will definitely be heroes who are proficient in water warfare to vote in the later stage, and it is not too late to make adjustments when the time comes.
......
After King Yin Ye and the people of the Heavenly Eagle Sect were aroused, their mobility became stronger than ever, and within a few days, five thousand carefully selected elites were taken to a hidden mountain villa outside the city.
Gao Cheng personally went into battle, and began to train these elites according to the training methods on Wu Mu's suicide note, after he got the military book last time, he experienced many battles in the Three Kingdoms World, and saw Gao Tai and Zhang Chen with his own eyes, training three hundred ordinary people into elites.
And when he was in the Temujin tribe, his training ability has quietly reached a certain level, and if he has 10,000 soldiers under his command, he can easily master it.
Unconsciously, in addition to the increase in strength, Gao Cheng also had another ability to train and command troops. When he was in Yingchuan, he didn't know anything about training soldiers and fighting wars, but now he can master 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he can control them freely. I have to say that this is a huge step forward.
In the world of the Three Kingdoms, it is more than enough to be a partial general and deputy general. In terms of the ability to lead troops, he is not as good as famous generals like Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, but he definitely surpasses Liaohua Zhou Cang......
