Yu Zhilong suddenly remembered something. The change of color asked, "Can Tian Lie's house be forcibly demanded?" And are there any shops in the city such as the shopkeeper Yan who makes clothes for our department also asked? ”

Fang Xue replied: "Don't worry, my lord, although these families were also asked, but their subordinates and Xie Xianyin later told King Shuntian, and they had obtained the consent of King Shuntian, and they would no longer ask for tribute to them, and those who had already received them would be returned to their families." Xie Xianyin also put up a notice in front of these shops, stating that these shops are not among the recipients of Sona's offering. ”

Yu Zhilong sighed, his expression was a little sleepy, and he said slowly: "That's okay." You're doing a good job. Since I know about this today, Master Fang, you will prepare a few letters of apology for me, prepare gifts, go to apologize on my behalf first, and I will personally apologize another day! ”

"As for the new deaths of Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, according to your words, I will not inform King Shuntian for the time being."

After Fang Xue and Xie Lin returned to these things, they saw that Yu Zhilong finally adopted his personal opinion, and without any more orders, he retired first.

Zhao Shi listened for a while, and after seeing Fang Xue and Xie Lin leaving, he finally couldn't hold back and said: "Since the leader of Liu Da was called the queen, the generals of all families have been busy expanding their personnel and competing for the wealth of each family. In the past, the big guys could still form a group, but before this war started, they began to want to get rich! ”

"The subordinates seconded what Xie Xian Yin said, I don't know how the adults feel?" Qian Zhengdao.

Brother Shi also said that the war is imminent, and at the critical moment, cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will be defeated. At the moment, it's still about beating Tartars! ”

Qian Zheng pursed his mouth sideways, and when he saw Yu Zhilong's face solemn, he finally didn't say anything. Yu Zhilong glanced at Qian Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Don't mention this matter, put your mind on training!" ”

Qian Zheng lowered his head and said reluctantly: "No." I want to train as a soldier, but I don't have a chance! ”

Zhao Shi slapped directly on Qian Zheng's head, and Qian Zheng sighed in pain and shrank his neck. Zhao Shi is Qian Zheng's old boss, and he is old, and sometimes it is common to beat and scold Qian Zheng and other young scouts. Yu Zhilong has a special relationship with him, but there is no such "preferential treatment".

Zhao Shi said again, "In the past few days, according to the general's requirements, we have gathered the existing war horses in our department, and a cavalry brigade has been formed, and in fact, there are four hundred war horses and cavalry available. Wu Side trained them very strictly, and his subordinates were all picked for a long time, and the old soldiers who had seen blood on the knife edge, even the general's own soldiers were picked up most of them. Now that they are stationed in the Mayu Quarry, I have strictly ordered that no information about the cavalry be leaked. In addition, Ling Gaoshang specially transported enough grain and grass, and the road out was guarded day and night. ”

Yu Zhilong nodded reassuringly and said, "The place is remote, as long as you strictly guard the road, you shouldn't leak this matter." In this operation, since the Yuan army is all foot soldiers, we will give them a surprise. ”

"Haha, Wu Side's old boy is looking forward to this day." Qian Zheng said enviously. The candidate for the captain of the cavalry team, Yu Zhilong considered it for a long time, the best candidate was Zhao Shi, whether it was seniority, or resourcefulness and courage, he should be the first, but Zhao Shi is now the deputy general, and everything is as busy as Yu Zhilong, and Yu Zhilong's soldiers and horses are more, Zhao Shi's role as a deputy general is irreplaceable for a while, and finally discussed with Zhao Shi, or chose Wu Side, who is bold and careful, brave in battle, and knows the roots, as the cavalry captain.

Qian Zheng has always coveted the position of cavalry captain, and when he saw the flowers falling on Wu Side's head, he still has some envy, jealousy and hatred.

As for Ma Rulong, Hou Ying, Chang Zhi and others are also envious of Wu Side. Although they are not satisfied, the burden on their shoulders is not light.

The main reason for this situation is that there are too many soldiers attached these days, although Liu Zhengfeng and others have reduced the number of new soldiers allocated to Yu Zhilong, but the number is still quite large, in addition, there are about 1,000 people in Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang. Yu Zhilong had to organize more than a dozen new teams of 100 households again, and the original 100 households such as Ma Rulong, Qian Zheng, Mu Chun, and Ji Xiancheng were promoted to the post of captains, and each of them was in charge of several teams of 100 households. Correspondingly, the original general flag and brand first class have also been promoted to one level.

The number of troops has increased greatly, not only the number of officers at all levels required, but also the need for more training for many new soldiers, especially for the transmission of military orders, the maintenance and change of formations, etc., which put forward higher requirements.

Yu Zhilong had read many similar novels before crossing, and the content of the article was almost brain-dead for the preparation and training of the army, it seems that as long as there are soldiers, plus a few supporting roles to cooperate with the protagonist, it can be done naturally! Logistics and training, the training and selection of officers at all levels, the preparation of weapons, uniforms, and flag tents, including farming, textiles, and transportation, are almost easy to solve, and the descriptions of the preparation and training of the army in various documents and historical books are also extremely unprofessional or very brief.

The Chinese courtiers of the DPRK did not know about military affairs, but they often influenced military strategy, and even directly determined campaign tactics, which has always been a major drawback of the courtiers of various dynasties!

Yu Zhilong patted his forehead, thinking of these trivial things is a headache. He looked at Qian Zheng's bitter face, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, remembering the matter of summoning Wu Side to appoint him in person a few days ago.

Wu Side was able to fight on horseback again, and he was still the first cavalry captain in the Yu Department, and when he received the appointment, he naturally smiled from ear to ear, and a few big white teeth were exposed.

Wu Side slapped his chest with a bang, and said loudly: "Don't worry, two generals, my old Wu can't do anything else, this charge is not ambiguous!" If anyone under my command dares to coax the bag in front of the battle, I will be the first to cut off his head, and the general will cut off my old Wu's head again! ”

"I don't want your head, I want you to bring me the head of Yuan Jun! But if you delay the fighter plane and miss me, you don't have to come back! Yu Zhilong warned him in a loud voice.

"Side, this time all the soldiers are at your disposal in the whole army, even the general's own soldiers are also among them, the best war horses are all allocated to you, and each person's weapons are a steel knife and a spear! In addition, as long as the archery skills are good, you can also match the bow and arrows, but there is one, and the soldiers who know archery must be organized into a team so that they can be used intensively. At the beginning, we were shot several times by the Tartar cavalry on the mountain road, and now that miserable situation seems to be in front of us, you are just starting to build, naturally it is impossible to be like the Tartar cavalry, but the adults also said that as long as there is a number of mounted shots, the accuracy almost does not affect the effect. In short, you have a lot of responsibility this time, and you must not be careless! Zhao Shi earnestly commanded.

"The cavalry is the fist of our army, as long as it is fought, it must hit the opponent's vital point, let his vital point bleed, it is difficult to fight again, and it is better to kill with one blow. I handed over the elite of our army to you, and I also handed over the fate of our army to you! Yu Zhilong added.

Wu Side said solemnly: "Don't worry, old Wu can save it." As long as Lao Wu has a breath of air, what the general's banner points to is the direction of our charge! ”

"In the past, we were scouts, and we paid attention to quietly approaching and probing, and we would never fight the enemy unless we had to. Now, what the cavalry wants is an order, and it must have the courage to go to it despite thousands of people! There must be iron military discipline! How to practice, we are all the first time, you can ask Captain Mingxiong for more advice, after all, he has been in the Han army for a long time, and he has been involved in the training of cavalry, and I have already greeted him. In addition, for soldiers who know archery, as long as they can ride horses, they can also recruit some into the cavalry team for training. Time is urgent, so let's go! After Yu Zhilong finished speaking, he drove Wu Side away.

Watching Wu Side go out, Zhao Shi turned his head to Zhilong and said: "With the help of Xie Lin, King Shuntian has collected all the acres of land from the big gentry and Mengren near this county, and our department has gained a lot from it. ”

"Yes, I promised that as long as they surrendered to join our army, I would give them land in this county, and if their families came over in the future, I would also help them settle their families. Now that the war is imminent, I want to fulfill my promise first, and by the way, I can appease and boost the morale of the army. ”

"The general acts like this, the morale of our army is greatly boosted, and the morale of the army is available!"

"Brother Shi is going to praise me, there are no outsiders here, there is no need for this. There are quite a few fields, mountains and forests, and recently we have added a lot of newly attached soldiers, and I plan to transfer some of the fields for the families of their soldiers to live on, and leave some of them behind, and reward them with military merits as appropriate after they have made meritorious contributions. Speaking of which, how is the training of the bamboo spearmen in Liujiazhuang? ”

"Haha, Brother Yu is really a good way, now there is a shortage of weapons, and the bamboo gun really greatly alleviates the pain of lack of weapons! It's just a pity that iron tools are scarce, and there are not many blacksmiths and iron billets, so I can't make more iron spear heads for a while, and now I have only trained three hundred-man teams. We have made bamboo spears so long and trained them, and we will definitely give the Yuan army a big surprise in the battle array! ”

At this time, there were no outsiders, Yu Zhilong asked Zhao Shi not to be so restrained, he called Zhao Shi Brother Shi, and Zhao Shi no longer called him a general.

"How is the training of the new pawns of the two villages?"

"Nearly 100 combatable soldiers have been transferred from various ministries as officials at all levels, since Brother Yu has decided not to inform King Shuntian of it, it is better to hide its news from the outside world like the cavalry team for the time being, maybe it can be miraculous when fighting."

"According to what Brother Shi said. It's just that there are many people coming and going now, and it is impossible to keep it completely secret, so even so, all these 300 bamboo spearmen were transferred to the Mayu Quarry for training, and the training method was carried out according to what I had set at the beginning. The chief general of the bamboo spear soldiers will appoint Ma Rulong as the captain, and let him appoint his subordinate officials at all levels! ”

"No!"

Yu Zhilong remembered something, and asked again: "Our department has now prepared a cavalry army and pikemen, and this shield bearer should also be formed, I don't know if Brother Zhao has a good plan." ”

Zhao Shi thought for a while and said, "This shield can be attacked and defended, and it is also a force in the army. It's just that just like the shortage of pikemen's equipment, there are so few shields in our captured arsenal that we can't even form a hundred-man team. It is estimated that even if you find the shields all over the city, it will be difficult to gather a hundred faces! ”

"Brother Yu wants to form a shield department, is it to guard against the arrows and crossbows of the Tartars?"

"Exactly! I thought that when we were ambushed by the Tartars on the mountain road, how sharp the opponent's arrows were, if it weren't for the fact that the Tartars were less numerous at that time, we would have responded quickly to the opportunity, but I was afraid that a slight mistake would be the end of our ashes. Later, when I thought about it, I often woke up in the middle of the night. When the army of Tartars arrives, there should be no shortage of crossbowmen. If our troops do not have enough shields to resist, I am afraid that after a few rounds of fire, the soldiers of all divisions will be crushed by the enemy! Yu Zhilong was a little worried.

Zhao Shi also fell into deep thought. The riding and shooting of Wuyan's bones was extremely sharp, although it was only a hundred horses, but it made a deep impression on Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi.
