For the Chuzhou army, this is the key to whether it can grasp the opportunity and break out of a way out, the Lord Zhenfu is ambitious at this time, his vision has already crossed the Yangtze River, and he is directed at Jiqing!

That's where he's going to be!

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, who already had tens of thousands of troops at this time, Yu Zhilong's headquarters at this time was only a fraction of Zhu Zhenfu's, and the Jing'an army was only one of the Shuntian army, and it was about to face the army of Yidu Road.

This time, Liu Zhengfeng was called the queen, and Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi were appointed as general and deputy general respectively. Because of the expansion of the troops, Yu Zhilong appointed Wu Side as a cavalry captain, Qian Zheng, Ma Rulong, Ji Xiancheng, and Ming Xiong as the full lieutenants of the infantry cadets, Huang Er, Hou Ying, Chang Zhi, Mu Chun, and Luo Cheng were all lieutenants among the infantry captains, and Sun Xing was the lieutenant of the pro-soldier colonel.

Since Liu Zhengfeng assigned his troops to the generals, Yu Zhilong's actual soldiers and horses now have about 3,500 people, of which about 1,000 are in Liangzhuang, Liu Zhengfeng and others do not know, and Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan, Wan Jinhai, Xia Houen, etc. have expanded their subordinates, with a total of about 6,000 people, divided into front and back, left and right, and more than 1,000 people in each army.

Before the war, everything seemed to have become calm, Yu Zhilong was busy with the training of various departments every night, busy with the leadership of civil affairs in the city, fortunately, with Xie Lin in the city as an assistant, most of the trivial matters were handed over to Xie Lin. Since entering the city, Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and others have recruited troops and horses, trained soldiers, and in their spare time, they enjoy the current wine, food and beauty, especially Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan, and the ruling management inside and outside the county was completely thrown to Yu Zhilong and Xie Lin.

Because of the increasingly tense situation, Liu Zhengfeng, Qin Zhanshan and others have also stepped up a lot of training for their subordinates, and such soldiers cannot be stationed in the small city, and several people will also station most of their subordinates outside the city.

Born in troubled times, only when there are soldiers and horses in hand will not panic, Liu Zhengfeng and other generals also know the situation at this time, and they have put their efforts into daily drills in the past few days. It's just that everyone is a wild man, and the specific way of practicing the Fa is very different. In addition, there is an urgent shortage of experienced instructors in the army, and most of them pay attention to physical strength and weapon training, and there is almost no shortage of difficult subjects such as formation.

Yu Shichang had a heart, and from time to time he glanced outside Yu Zhilong's camp to see the situation of Yu Zhilong's department.

To be honest, all departments of the Shuntian Army are more attentive to practice, after all, this is a major event that will determine the success or failure of everyone in the future, that is, the soldiers also understand the meaning of these trainings, and no one wants to just run over and die, so no matter what the commander asks, the soldiers try their best to complete. It's just that the results of the various ministries have been mixed.

The biggest difference between Yu Zhilong's department is that he has a lot of Han troops and volunteers, most of whom have received some training before, and a group of experienced low-level officers such as Mingxiong are the leaders, and they can carry out training in a slightly systematic and targeted manner, especially some simple formation changes, and how to attack, how to retreat, how to fill the position and other very beneficial training.

With the drive of these people, the training effect of each department is obviously stronger than that of other armies, although Liu Qi and others do not admit it, but in the eyes of Yu Shichang, they can still see some differences.

"Cheer up and practice hard!" After Yu Shichang went back, he was more strict with his own troops, he looked down on the Yuan army's set of training methods, and with experience, he ordered his subordinates to increase the training intensity of martial arts and extend the training time. Of course, Yu Shichang practiced and crawled on the field with his subordinates, which was similar to Yu Zhilong's department, and the soldiers of each department saw that the commander was covered in mud and sweat every day like himself, so he had no idea of complaining about being tired.

Yu Shichang ate and lived in the camp for several days, his face was obviously rough, and he occasionally went into the city to visit his mother Xin, but the distressed Xin was chattering, and specially cooked noodles for him and made a few side dishes, but unfortunately Yu Shichang was busy and soon left and returned to the camp. Even if Yu Lan and the others wanted to pull him to talk about the Jing'an Army, they couldn't keep it.

The soldiers of all departments are satisfied with the current treatment, not only can they have enough food here, but the commander said that after winning the battle, they will give gold and silver, and divide the fields, if the brothers want to live a personal life, they must practice their skills and fight with the Tartars!

Liu Zhengfeng, Wan Jinhai and others often come to the scene like this, practicing and eating together with the subordinates, but Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan mostly talk and don't do anything, just watch and supervise, and rarely go out in person.

During this period, Xie Lin was responsible for most of the trivial matters in the city, and Liu Zhengfeng's mind was no longer here, but fortunately, Xie Lin was familiar with governance, and he was shrewd and clever, and he understood Zhilong's instructions quickly, and he was able to find out the immature places in them according to his past experience, and put forward a lot of suggestions in time.

In Xie Lin's eyes, Yu Zhilong has great ambitions and is tolerant of his subordinates, especially for the small people in the market. The depth of his love made Schelling a little incomprehensible. Moreover, Yu Zhilong obviously has his own ideas and specific methods for governing the government, and in Xie Lin's view, although radical, it is not too biased.

Xie Lin privately befriended Zhao Shi, Wu Side, and Qian Zheng were close to Zhilong, and took Yu Zhilong's life experience from the side, according to these subordinates, Yu Zhilong did not have any official background, and there was no official family around him, but he was quite familiar with the study of governance in the world, which was quite strange.

Maybe it's a gifted person, or maybe it's from reading through the "Zizhi Tongjian". Xie Lin said secretly in his heart.

Like to read the "Zizhi Tongjian" Liukou, Xie Linke has never heard of it, but Yuan Shizu attaches great importance to this book, specially invited Confucian scholars to explain the way of governing the country for him, and also set up Guozixue, translated and wrote "Tongjian Jiejiao" as a teaching material. Does this Yu Zhilong also have the image of the ancestor?

A few days ago, when Yu Zhilong was flipping through it, he saw one of the paragraphs: The husband believes, and the great treasure of the king. The state is protected by the people, and the people are protected by the letter; If you don't believe in it, you can't make the people, and if you don't believe in it, you can't defend the country. It is the king of the ancients who does not deceive the four seas, the hegemon who does not deceive his neighbors, the one who is good for the country does not deceive his people, and the one who is good at home does not deceive his relatives. The opposite is true for those who are not good.

It was after reading this passage that Yu Zhilong suddenly remembered his original promise, so he hurriedly found Xie Lin to inquire about the verification of Tian Mu, and quickly determined the instructions for Tian Mu for these surrender soldiers, and asked Xie Lin to handle it quickly.

Judging that Zhilong wanted to be the Duke of Qi Huan who did not betray Cao Mo's alliance, Xie Lin also strengthened his confidence to follow. In today's troubled times, the monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king. Jun Ming is the luck of the ministers!

Yidu City and Linqu City are all fighting hard to make final preparations, and those on both sides are encouraging the whole army, and the food treatment before the war has also been greatly improved. Big fish and meat began to appear on the table of the Yidu Army, and the junior officers even got a little wine, and the white-flour steamed buns on Linqu's side were also full of soldiers, in contrast, the training intensity and enthusiasm of the soldiers on Linqu's side far exceeded that of the Yidu Army. After all, for the vast majority of people, they can finally be fed and put on new clothes and shoes.

Liu Zhengfeng specially issued a notice to the whole army, this battle is a victory or life, defeat is death, and once again issued a reward, killing or capturing one enemy soldier, the reward is ten taels, the enemy 100 households are 100 taels, and the enemy 1,000 households are 500 taels!

When Yu Zhilong finished reading out loud one by one in front of all the departments of the Jing'an Army, facing the thousands of soldiers standing in front of him, facing the brand-new banner, Yu Zhilong drew his sword and shouted: "Our army lives and dies, fight here!" All the gentlemen work hard, and the Jing'an army wins! Jing'an Army wins! ”

The army has long understood that if you win, you can continue to live and eat white-flour steamed buns, and if you lose, there is only one way to lose your head. followed the flying general in front of him, risking his life to do a fight, at most a big scar with a bowl off his head!

"The Jing'an army is victorious! Jing'an Army wins! Jing'an Army wins! As the generals took the lead in chanting, the whole army drew their swords, raised their spears and spears, and shouted with Zhilong. For a while, swords and guns were like a forest, and the sound shook the sky!

In the past few days, the newly made clothes, shoes and socks, and various colored flags have all been distributed to all units of the army, and the officers and men of the Jing'an Army finally have a new set of clothes. People rely on clothes, horses, and saddles, and the faces of the soldiers are much more energetic, especially after several days of training in various departments, the formation of the assembly is obviously much more regular, and it is no longer crooked. Yu Zhilong stood on the high platform, looking down at the phalanx of all the tribes, and finally felt a little proud in his heart.

On this day's field drills, Luo Chengbu, Qian Zhengbu and others conducted action training in wielding knives and bayonets.

The training of personal martial arts should be carried out step by step, but the time is limited, Yu Zhilong requires the whole army to have a minimum of slashing, stabbing, and blocking skills, so he and Mingxiong repeatedly consider the training outline, and finally focus on the main training skills on the action of slashing, spear stabbing, and shielding.

Because Mingxiong and others are responsible for explaining and guiding the essentials of the movements, the training of the non-commissioned officers of each team is relatively serious and in place.

In order to make the soldiers more effective in completing the essentials of the movements, Mingxiong directly required the number of swings of each movement to be at least 300 times a day, and it must be completed in accordance with the order. In the training of each hundred household team, there are Mingxiong's specially designated subordinates with outstanding skills to correct various inappropriate movements at any time. At the end of the day, both officers and non-commissioned officers were tired and panting.

After the soldiers had a certain mastery, Gao Shang led the baggage team to move the straw men and wooden stakes to various training grounds. According to Yu Zhilong's requirements, the soldiers of each team must take it as the target and conduct slashing training again.

In the actual training, Yu Zhilong found that the movements of the soldiers always lacked ruthlessness, one was that the soldiers lacked a sense of substitution, the hands were weak, and they could not reach the essentials of the action, and the other was that once they moved vigorously, the number of times was too much, which was very easy to lead to strain of the joints of the hands and feet, which was not conducive to follow-up training. With these false targets, the soldiers can slash vigorously and test the effectiveness of the training.

On this day, after finally completing a movement exercise, Qian Zheng directly found a flat place, and then lay down on all fours, saying that he didn't want to move

"Oh, ahhhhh Qian Zheng was holding his waist and barely lying down, "It's only been a few fucking days, I can't stand this waist!" If it goes on like this, before the tartar comes, Lao Tzu's waist will be tortured and broken! ”

"Brother Qian, can you still hold on? If not, tell the general that you will rest in the tent tomorrow? Luo Cheng came over panting, sat next to Qian Zheng, and asked.

"Ah, what's that? Isn't it being looked down upon! "Although Qian Zheng has been tossed in the past few days, he still doesn't want to be willing if he goes to rest if he is soft." If you really go to the tent to rest, you won't be laughed to death by Chang Zhi! ”

Chang Zhi and Qian Zheng both love to earn face, and they joked with each other a few days ago to see who couldn't hold on in the end. Qian Zheng was originally a scholar, but he was physically strong, he used to be a good boxer, and he really talked about his body and bones, and he was born in a craftsman's family. Now the two are both captains, not only competing with each other, but also fighting each other in the daily drills of their subordinates.
