Jinling City, outside the Zhengyang Gate, there is a wasteland within a radius of dozens of miles to the south of the right guard of Yulin, here was originally called the Daxiaochang, when the capital of Nanjing was set in the early Ming Dynasty, the Jingying Tunwei, the Son of Heaven has more than 500,000 troops, most of which are stationed near this Daxiaochang.

However, since the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beizhili, the army stationed here has decreased sharply, and in just over 20 years of the Yongle Dynasty, the more than 400,000 troops stationed here have almost been relocated, leaving the left guard of Yulin, the right guard of Yulin, the left guard of the left guard, the left guard of the right guard, and several other guards.

To the Jiajing Dynasty, after more than 100 years of changes, the big school field has long ceased to be the original grand situation, the original dense barracks have long collapsed most of them, and the rest are almost dilapidated, only a few craftsmen, traders, musicians and other low-level people live in it, and the barren one is like a ghost domain.

However, since Yang Cong took office as the governor of Zhejiang, he set this place as a place for troops and drills, 50,000 elite guards came one after another, the original dilapidated barracks were renovated, the original potholed school yard was also filled in and smooth, and the voice of the long-lost order appeared again, and it was once again full of vitality.

Early in the morning, when the hour came, and the sky had just dawned, Yang Cong appeared on the general platform on the north side of the school with a group of military generals.

Originally, there was only a square dirt bag left on this platform, but at this time, a huge pergola had been erected on it, and tables, chairs and benches were all available, accommodating hundreds of people.

At this time, the entire battalion had already commanded a formation, and a team of Ming army guards poured out of the barracks, quickly stepped on the school ground, lined up in a neat array one after another, and looked down from the point platform, densely packed with human figures, which was really spectacular.

Yang Cong stood at the front of the point platform and looked down silently, with a serious face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The Governor personally supervised the training, and the guards below naturally did not dare to slack off, and the officers at all levels were like being beaten with chicken blood, shouting desperately, and all the guards were also engrossed in their attention and seriously cooperated, and for a while, the entire school field was full of howls, and there was flying dust everywhere, as if it was a fierce battlefield.

It's a pity that these guards haven't practiced for a long time, and the formation is inevitably a little rusty, and it still looks a little messy.

Yang Cong stood there silently for a while, then turned around and entered the pavilion and came to the large desk in the pavilion.

At this time, the huge desk was already full of all kinds of brief formation diagrams, Tang Kekuan, Qi Jingtong and other generals and Tang Shunzhi, Zhao Shichun and other ministers were all around there, discussing the way of change and practice of the mandarin duck formation.

The rules are still very strict these days, especially in the military, the majesty of the commander or the chief general is not to be offended, even if the private relationship is good, this occasion must pay attention to respect and humility.

Yang Cong nodded slightly, slowly walked to the handsome chair and sat down, and then raised his hand and said, "Everyone is in place." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly staggered the left and right sides of the civil and military forces, and lined up neatly in two rows on both sides of the handsome position.

Yang Cong slowly glanced around, and then asked the main general Tang Kekuan: "Changsheng, how is the mandarin duck array drilling." ”

When Tang Kekuan heard this, he arched his hand embarrassedly: "My lord, this training time is still short, and there has been no effect yet. ”

Yang Cong nodded slightly, and then said to Wang Xuan on the left: "Elder Wang, how is the weapons and equipment of the 50,000 army?" ”

Wang Xuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Hui, the spear, boring palladium, waist knife, shield, wolf whisk, and thunder are all fully equipped, and the new swords, muskets, and tiger squat cannons still need to be prepared." “

This is understandable, after all, there is a lot of stock on the side of Nan Zhili, such as the spear head, waist knife, shield or something, and the amount of thunder used in the battle against the Japanese is not much, and the ones they brought over this time are basically enough, and it is not very difficult to build boring palladium and wolf whizzards, as for the new sabers, muskets and tiger squat cannons, it is a bit time-consuming to build.

Yang Cong pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How long will it take to equip the 50,000 army?" ”

Wang Xuan estimated it, and then said, "It will probably take about two months." ”

Two months, I'm afraid I can't wait, Yang Cong sighed secretly, and then said loudly: "We can't wait for so long, let's get ready to pull." ”

Yes!

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

You know, Nanzhili's tunwei has been abandoned for a long time, most of them have become purebred farmers, these assembled tunwei are said to be elite, but in fact, they are just a little stronger, and 50,000 tunwei have only been practicing for more than a month in total, so it's too hasty, right?

Hu Zongxian couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, at this time, the equipment of the 50,000 army is not yet complete, and the training time is not enough, so if you rush to the battlefield, I am afraid that you will suffer heavy losses!" ”

Tang Shunzhi also echoed: "Yes, my lord, now the number of muskets and tiger squat cannons is seriously insufficient, and in terms of long-range attacks, these guards are not even as good as those pirates and pirates. ”

Yang Cong said helplessly: "These officials know, but time is not waiting, pirates and pirates are wreaking havoc along the coast, there are casualties among civilians every day, and there are already people in the DPRK who impeach this official for inaction, and if we don't attack, the emperor will probably be angry." ”

Everyone actually knows in their hearts that last time Yang Cong made Yan Song deflated and almost knocked him down, Yan Song naturally tried his best to retaliate.

Yan Song, the military in the southeast, didn't dare to make up his mind, but people could make up their minds in the capital and other places.

As long as he mobilizes his local officials to exaggerate, report the urgency, and order the officials to impeach him constantly, Jiajing will sooner or later be unable to help but go crazy.

This bad habit of the Ming Dynasty has been around for a long time, and everyone can't change it, so they can only shut up.

Yang Cong slowly glanced around, and then said decisively: "This official has already played the imperial court, please seal the general soldiers of each town, everyone prepare, three days later, the army will rise!" ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly threw up their hands and said in unison, "Yes, my lord." ”

Yang Cong then said solemnly: "Changsheng, you lead 10,000 horses to Zhejiang, replace Lu Bo, serve as the general army of Zhejiang, and guard the coast of Zhejiang." ”

When Tang Kekuan heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Yang Cong said solemnly: "Shixian, you lead the elite of the 1,000 Shenji Battalion and 10,000 guards to guard Nanzhili, and serve as the chief soldier of Suzhou." ”

When Qi Jingtong heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Yang Cong then ordered: "Yixiu, Jingren, Wang Lao, you will lead 10,000 horses to Guangdong, Shandong and Fujian, and then rush to Fuzhou to gather after handing over the men and horses to Lu Bo, Liu Xian and Yu Dayou respectively. ”

Tang Shunzhi, Zhao Shichun and Wang Xuan were all Wenchen, originally they didn't need to lead the troops directly, but at this time, the leading generals Lu Bo, Liu Xian and Yu Dayou were not there, and Yang Cong had no other trustworthy generals, so they could only send them to run.
