【Ticket Request at the End of the Month】

Wang Xingping's troubles were standing in the camp, watching the recruits drill with great interest.

This person is wide and big, and his outfit is not like the demeanor of a civil servant, but it makes a cadre of people can only slander in their hearts. He seems to be around fifty years old, and the few people around him, in addition to a young man who seems to be a nephew, there is also an old man, who seems to be a staff member, and the rest of them are all like martial artists, I am afraid they are all this person's guards.

"I didn't expect the minister to come in person." Wang Xingping said insincerely, as if he had expected it.

Xiong Tingbi didn't care, "You don't think the old man came too quickly." ”

"How dare you." Wang Xingping smiled mischievously.

"Don't you dare to old man, it doesn't matter, but you are trained ...... this soldier" He has always been straightforward, as soon as he took office, he first thought about touching the bottom of the army near the Beijing Division, you must know that Yang Hao's defeat of the army's combat power is also one of the problems, and he will not rashly go to Liaodong and Jiannu to call for a board without a reliable combat force in his hands, counting the time of departure, he actually came out to inspect as soon as he took office.

In fact, Wang Xingping did not doubt his training methods, but he still had some doubts after hearing this. "What? Does Xianggong think there is something wrong with my training as a soldier? ”

"It's too much money." After thinking for a while, Xiong Tingbi smacked his lips before such a sentence came out, he was first born in martial arts, and experienced pro-people officials, Taiwan officials and academic officials in Wenchen, and after being free, he supervised the construction of water conservancy in Jiangxia for several years.

Wang Xingping didn't hide it, "This still relies on the support of Xu Xianggong and Zhang Xianggong, otherwise where can I support it." ”

The Jesuits did pay for it, but this Heming's silver had never been seen, and he took a lot of advantage when he bought grain in Guizhou, but this did not prevent Wang Xingping from pulling the banner as a tiger skin in private.

If Wang Xing Fangcai is true to what he said, the money spent by hundreds of people in this mere area is not much worse than raising 4,000 soldiers, not only two exercises a day, but also the food of these recruits is also very good just looking at the physique and training intensity, Xiong Tingbi's family is poor, and there are very few outstanding peers in the clan, so the young elders are wholeheartedly supplied to him, and the experience of participating in the martial arts has made him understand the truth of being poor and rich at a very young age. Without adequate nutrition, you will not be able to become a strong person. Compared with the investment in training, the salary of these soldiers is not more than that of ordinary troops.

Listening to Xu Guangqi's recital, Wang Xingping's soldiers here are mostly slender men recruited from the surrounding areas, and there are some exiles and routs, of course, Xu Xianggong himself will not say too much, just like this fugitive Yanding is still guilty of some court taboos.

And what he saw in his eyes and what Wang Xingping said, these recruits have only done two things during this time, queue and run.

Only the two hundred Zhejiang soldiers who fled back from Liaodong were still practicing the traditional mandarin duck formation in their previous way because they had just arrived, but Xiong Tingbi was only mentally inferior to those slender men and salt ding.

Wang Xingping didn't care about such a chaotic combination, but was very happy, after all, it was a good thing for him to have more factions in the army, even if Guizhou had that relationship with Wang Zhongde, he still wanted to recruit Ding Deshui and them into the team. What is somewhat unexpected is that in addition to the Zhejiang army, there are more than a dozen Korean routers and two local guides in Jianzhou, as well as a few of Liu Ling's family members, and the one who came across the sea with these people is none other than Wang Xingping's old acquaintance - Zhou Yiming, the general of the preparation and Japanese who followed Peng Tianxiang out of the customs to aid Liao, had an intersection in Linqing.

Zhou Yiming's department was originally to follow Peng Tianxiang's old battalion to the north together, but after passing the Yuguan Pass, Peng Tianxiang was imprisoned by Yang Hao because of the slow march, and Peng was also taken the opportunity to join Liu Wei's South Route Army with other reinforcements to Liao, and the army was originally attacking the city and plundering the village all the way out of Kuandian, but within a few days, it was lured and ambushed by the elite of the Eight Banners who had already cleaned up the Juniper Department in Abu Dali Gang near Hetuala, and the four thousand Zhejiang soldiers could only be surrounded on a dirt mountain to form a formation to protect themselves, But it was only half a day before he was killed by the Tartars.

Zhou Yiming's more than 200 people were able to serve as scouts because of the horses allocated by Wang Zunde before, so because some horses ran fast, they didn't all fold on the south road, and they tried every means to escape back to Kuandianbao. But at that time, the Korean rout army also followed, the Kuandian Fort was not big, and the news of Juniper's death in the battle had come, for a time there was already a rumor crying outside the border wall, and in a few days, the soldiers and civilians of the three forts of Dadian, Yongdian and Changdian in the south also fled a lot.

The more than ten North Korean soldiers were originally subordinates of Kim Yinghe, the general of the left battalion of North Korea's aid to Liao, and Kim Yinghe died in battle, but Marshal Jiang Hongli surrendered to Jiannu. The main general died in battle, and they also understood that returning to North Korea would probably not end well, and if Jiang Hongli returned to North Korea, he would probably have to let them, who were not descendants, take the blame, and they were unwilling to surrender to the Tartars together, so they simply followed Zhou Yiming's troops all the way. As for the two local guides, they were Yehebu merchants who also participated in the encirclement and suppression of Houjin, and they were also specially sent from Kaiyuan to Kuandian to assist Liu Bu a few years ago. Haixi Jurchen Yehe sent 10,000 troops to cooperate with the Ming army on the North Road to encircle and suppress Nurhachi, if it was really defeated, it would inevitably be retaliated by Jianzhou in the future, and the two guides also followed Zhou Yiming all the way in a daze under anxiety.

After Zhou escaped alive, he wanted to go to Peng Tianxiang first, but Peng Tianxiang was still difficult to protect himself in Shenyang at this time, and with the loss of his division and land, the road to the west seemed to have become extremely dangerous, and there was a possibility of being intercepted by the main force of the Houjin Eight Banners at any time. In desperation, he made up his mind, led his men and horses along the Yalu River all the way south out of the side wall, and finally found a few civilian ships and returned to Tianjin after rushing to Zhenjiang Fort.

They originally planned to come to Tianjin to attack Qi Jin, but they didn't want Qi Jin to be transferred to Zhending half a month earlier, but fortunately, Wang Xingping happened to meet Zhou Yiming who went into the city to inquire about the news in Tianjin.

As for Liu Ling's family, they had been recuperating in Kuandianbao because of the cold, but as soon as they got better, Liu Ling died in battle. The leader of these people also retreated all the way to Zhenjiang Fort on his own initiative, and Zhou Yiming crossed the sea on the same boat, speaking of these people made Wang Xingping very interested, Liu Wei fought for half his life, and the family Ding was a lot of foreign soldiers in the network, this time they came to vote for Sichuan, Burma and Siam, they were willing to follow Wang Xingping but because they could go to Guizhou, so they could return to the southwest, there was only one Japanese ronin in the middle, although he was reluctant but had to follow the trend.

A man who looked like a military attache was watching the soldiers practice at this time, and was interrupted by Xiong Tingbi beside him, "Zixian has seen something famous?" ”

The man thought for a moment when he heard this, and said indifferently, "This is a firearms battalion, right?" ”

Wang Xingping was suddenly distracted by the man's thoughts, and he couldn't help but look at him more in surprise, after all, he could see his true intentions just from the queue training, and this vision was not simple.

Xiong Tingbi looked at Wang Xingping's appearance and felt quite funny, and said: "There is nothing difficult to guess, the original advantage of the official army is in firearms, otherwise how can the Shenji battalion account for six or seven out of ten in the Beijing camp, your "On Protracted War" doesn't also say that Liaodong should be a battalion step by step, and naturally the first firearm, just look at your queue to use firearms to fight in the wild?" ”

When Wang Xingping heard this, he felt even more cordial, after all, Xiong Tingbi not only saw the intention of his training subject, but also did not feel ridiculous, and there were several meanings of discussion in his words. So he simply told some of his ideas one by one to Xiong Tingbi and the man who asked him to listen, he was not afraid that someone would steal the division, after all, such an army could not be solved simply by learning a few subjects, and he had to establish a set of his own military logistics system, which Xiong Tingbi was much inferior to, at least the Ministry of Industry was not opened by his family. The news that came back from the front line said that Juniper was lost and died because he wore a rusty helmet, and the rusty helmet was actually repainted and sent to the commander general, and it was passed on to the following generals and colonels, which made people angry.

Moreover, even if we understand the context of development, we have to invest tremendous resources in supporting the support of the new army, and it is very difficult for him to make such a determination when he cannot make contributions in a short period of time, and it is not for him to be a reincarnated human being.

Using firearms to fight in the field, at least at this time, is still not easy to imagine, and Wang Xingping has not heard of firearms field battles in Guizhou in several battles before, so although Xiong Tingbi saw the clues of this queue with his eyes, he was also a little noncommittal for a while.

After talking about the topic of military training, Wang Xingping learned that the brother named Zixian by Xiong Tingbi was named Zhang Mingshi, who was originally a general in the Beijing camp and was imprisoned for his crimes. He has a deep understanding of the way of firearms, and he also has a lot of unique insights when he talks about the magic machine into an army with Wang Xingping, which makes him admired.

After a short time on the playground, Xiong Tingbi came to the Chinese army's tent with great interest.

As soon as Fu sat down, he asked straightforwardly: "Don't hide it from Tiancheng, I have decided to send a letter to ask the elite troops of Huguang Tusi to help Liao, and I also like your team, I don't know if Tiancheng is willing to go to Liaodong with me to make contributions?" ”

Naturally, he only took a fancy to this new army in his heart, and the other still took a fancy to Wang Xingping, otherwise he didn't have to be so polite with his temperament, and he would go directly to the military department to find someone, and there was no reason why he couldn't buy this face.

Xiong Tingbi arrived a step late, and he didn't see the conflict in front of the battalion, but he could still make a judgment just by inferring the results, twenty or so people beat sixty or seventy regiments to the ground, and the other party is usually a brave and ruthless salt lord, and this side is just a rough man who has just received less than a month of training, and it can be seen that the discipline queue alone is still very obvious for the improvement of combat effectiveness, if it can be recruited to help him train in Liaodong, it is a good thing.

After Xiong Tingbi asked this, he waited for Wang Xingping with great anticipation, waiting for his reply, with what he thought, Wang Xingping was so concerned about the situation in Liaodong, and he was willing to lift up, he should be able to accept it.

But after Wang Xingping heard this, he groaned, and the expression on his face was quite wonderful, and after a while, he was a little sorry: "This kid doesn't dare to obey his fate." ”

Xiong Tingbi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his face was a little gloomy in surprise, and the posture was clearly for Wang Xingping to explain clearly.
