Xiong Zhiyuan didn't expect that he would be transferred to the General Training Department so soon to be responsible for training recruits.

But for him Xiong Zhiyuan, it was indeed a feeling that he had finally met something he was willing to do.

Xiong Zhiyuan began to take advantage of the privileges given to him by Lu Yuan to actively train an army with infantry and artillery coordination in his mind.

And the training of other mighty troops of the Pingshan battalion also began to be in full swing.

Lu Yuan adopted Xiong Zhiyuan's suggestion and asked Gu Hesheng not to train the militia's mandarin duck formation after the militia's queue training and physical training, but to practice the militia's shooting and assassination and even riding and archery skills.

As for the other recruits, they are still in the Mandarin Duck formation, after all, it is impossible to change them all at once if they want to improve.

First of all, the armament of the entire ordnance industry may not be able to supply it, and secondly, Lu Yuan is not sure whether the coordinated fighting style of infantry and artillery can really restrain the cavalry.

At least the current experience proves that the Mandarin Duck Formation of the mighty army is acting on the Jiannu cavalry, although it may indeed require high discipline for the soldiers, and the casualties on the soldiers in the front row may not be able to resist the large-scale cavalry.

However, the scale of the mighty army is indeed not large now, so there is no need to directly change all of them to infantry and artillery coordination.

During the training of the mighty army to recruit new recruits and militia, Li Yuhua and other remnants of the Tianxiong Army also arrived in Pingshan, and they naturally came to take refuge in Lu Yuan.

At this time, the imperial court only knew that the Tianxiong Army had been wiped out in Julu's entire army, but it didn't know that there were still some remnants of the Tianxiong Army that were lucky enough to break through after Lu Yuan's rescue.

"The general personally carried the coffin of his fallen brother, the villain already knows, and the villain admires the general's love and benevolence very much! Now the villain only wishes that the general will give the villain a chance to avenge the governor, and at the same time repay the general and the brothers of the mighty army for saving their lives, and the villain is willing to be the general's pawn! ”

Li Yuhua and the other remnants of the Tianxiong Army knelt down towards Lu Yuan and directly hit his head on the ground, even so, Lu Yuan couldn't see his humble state, but only felt his iron bones!

Lu Yuan hurriedly helped Li Yuhua and the others up: "Yuhua and other brothers, please hurry up, my word is given by the governor, and Lu does not dare to forget the grace of the governor!" Now you brothers are willing to join my mighty army, together to eliminate the Jiannu, to defend the homeland, please brothers in the future to treat this place as their own home, after all, we are all sons of the Han family, and you will also be brothers in the mighty army in the future! ”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan ordered the officers present: "Salute Li Yuhua and other brothers!" ”

Then, Lu Yuan himself saluted first.

Other mid- and high-ranking officers of the mighty army also saluted.

Li Yuhua and the remnants of the Tianxiong Army were all flattered, very moved, and hurriedly gave up their hands.

Lu Yuan was naturally quite happy at this time, after all, apart from Uncle Fei, there were not many officers and soldiers under his command who were born in the Ming Army.

Li Yuhua and others are different, they are familiar with the Ming army, and have rich combat experience, not only under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, but also under the command of Lu Xiangsheng to guard the border towns in Xuanhua, and even fought with Jiannu.

What's more, Li Yuhua and others are strong generals who can survive the fight against tens of thousands of Jiannu main forces.

The combat effectiveness of this kind of person cannot be replicated, and it can be directly used as a special agent.

Therefore, Lu Yuan said to Li Yuhua next: "This official will naturally not let you just be a pawn, you are the warriors of my Han family, in the words of his Jiannu, you are my Ming Bayala!"

Therefore, this officer decided to set up a special service army headed by your Yuhua brothers, which is responsible for reconnaissance, assassination, sabotage, search and capture and other special tasks on the front line or behind enemy lines, which is a key role, but it is also very dangerous, and it has high requirements for personal combat effectiveness. You can even not train, as long as you feel that you will not die if you do not train! ”

Li Yuhua and many other remnants of the Tianxiong Army actually didn't want to be trained as recruits anymore, but he didn't know how he should integrate into the mighty army, and now he heard that Lu Yuan meant to let them be freer spies, and they were more willing to accept this arrangement.

Of course, for some remnants of the Tianxiong Army who were willing to continue to be cavalrymen, Lu Yuan also went along with his wishes and let them enter Uncle Fei's cavalry bureau as a cavalry officer.

Lu Yuan asked Li Yuhua to select a few soldiers from the existing soldiers of the mighty army field soldiers who could have the potential to become special soldiers, in addition to the remnants of the Tianxiong Army who were willing to be spy soldiers.

After all, relying on the dozens of remnants of the Tianxiong Army brought by Li Yuhua alone, they could not form a formed spy army.

In Lu Yuan's opinion, his mighty army must have at least one spy company directly under his command in order to deal with the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty, which is not only the enemy of Jiannu.

After chatting with Lu Yuan for a long time all night, Li Yuhua also understood Lu Yuan's understanding of the secret service.

For Li Yuhua, the spy soldier is actually a new concept, but at this moment he has to admit that after Lu Yuan put forward this concept, he has a new understanding of combat.

Although he was also the commander of the Tianxiong Military Department, he actually did not know the art of commanding various arms of the army.

Now, after Lu Yuan's advice, Li Yuhua suddenly became enlightened and began to know his importance as a spy soldier.

Because of this, Li Yuhua was very serious when selecting soldiers who were suitable to be special soldiers, and he also thought about what kind of soldiers were suitable for being special soldiers.

After several months of fighting with Jiannu, the Weiwu army also captured more than 100 Jiannu war horses, plus through the purchase from Zheng and other smugglers and the allocation with the imperial court, the Weiwu army now has more than 300 war horses.

Uncle Fei's cavalry bureau can only be expanded to two hundred cavalry at present.

Among the remaining 200 war horses, 100 were given to Li Yuhua to form a special agent, and the other 100 were given to Xiong Zhiyuan to form an infantry artillery coordination bureau.

Of course, the cavalry and war horses that Xiong Zhiyuan needed would still be trained by Uncle Fei's cavalry bureau first.

In any case, Lu Yuan had to admit that the number of his cavalry was still insufficient, the most important thing was that there were not enough war horses, and secondly, there were not enough instructors who could conduct cavalry training.

It is not easy to train a qualified cavalryman, it is easy for a farmer to master the operation and aiming skills of musket shooting, and even to train his shooting skills, but it is not easy to make a farmer become a good cavalryman, and if you want to become a qualified cavalryman, you must either grow up on horseback from an early age, or you have to rely on excellent cavalry instructor training.

However, most of the Han family children were mainly agricultural, and there were few people on horseback, so they could only rely on cavalry instructors for training.

But now there are not many officers in the entire mighty army who are cavalry graduates.

There was no way, and Lu Yuan could only try to find a way, first to raise horses, and secondly, to exchange industrial products for horses, and even to give preferential treatment to businessmen who were willing to exchange horses for industrial products.

Then there is the recruitment of cavalry of the former border army who are good at riding, such as not collecting these at night.

Fortunately, with the addition of Li Yuhua and others, the mighty army has finally become a cavalry instructor of the border army.

However, at present, although the mighty army is still in its infancy, it is not a large-scale force in this world, but the entire military system is also tending to be complete.

The entire mighty army has its own military-industrial base, base areas, and various types of professional arms.

Next, all that's needed is gradual development.
