The morning fog dispersed over the entire field, extremely thin, and the glow from the east easily penetrated this layer of fog and illuminated the Xining city wall.

Li Zicheng rubbed his eyes that were a little astringent, it was another sunny day.

"My lord, let's go have some breakfast, and we'll meet with the commander later." He Xiaomi yawned, he was too excited last night and slept late, but he didn't expect the adults to get up early to watch the sunrise, he was really a little sleepy.

"I'm not busy, I'll wait until I see the sunrise before leaving." Li Zicheng's gaze kept staring at the far east, until a large red disc slowly rose from the mountain col, and ten thousand rays of light fell into the water, and ten thousand golden scales suddenly appeared on the water surface.

He wanted to see the sun rise over the water, one vertical and one vertical, but unfortunately the water was too narrow to have the spectacle of a sunrise over the sea.

Li Zicheng took his soldiers and used breakfast indiscriminately at a tea spot, and then went straight to the official office.

During this meeting, Zhao Feng sat in the main seat of the main hall, Liang Wencheng accompanied him on the side, and Wu Shaoling, the eunuch guarding the town, did not show up at all.

Li Zicheng kowtowed, and offered the head of the Mongols again, Zhao Feng frowned, looking preoccupied, and only said that after the inspection, he would be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

Liang Wencheng suddenly interjected: "Li Baihu, the herdsmen in this vicinity, whether they are natives or Han people, are all our people, and they are grazing war horses for the imperial court. ”

"What does Lord Liang mean...... Li Zicheng said in his heart, does Liang Wencheng think that Lao Tzu killed the good and risked the merits? But he didn't do anything wrong, and he didn't have to worry about Liang Wencheng's secret investigation, and now that he has Wu Shaoling's support, he is not afraid of any food and salary problems, "Lord Liang, my subordinates understand their responsibilities, guard Zhenhai Fort, and even protect the people nearby. ”

"It's good to know!" Liang Wencheng didn't dig deeper.

Li Zicheng returned to Zhenhai Fort, and Li Guo and Liu Shuishan both came out to greet him, "My lord! ”

"Yunshan, double happiness, let's go into the house and talk."

Sitting down in the hall, He Xiaomi served tea to the three of them, and waited outside with Ma Youshui.

"My lord, what did Wei Li say when you went to Xining this time?" Liu Yunshui couldn't wait, these recruits of his own, who had just come to Zhenhai Fort, could kill the Mongols for meritorious service, and they should not be treated as coldly as last time.

"The harvest is quite rich, but the pressure is also huge," Li Zicheng will return to see Wu Shaoling, and inform the two of them as it was, "Yunshui, double happiness, you are not outsiders, you can talk about it, how should we complete the task of Wu Gong's bus generation next?" ”

A mist rose in Li Guo's eyes, with these materials, they can be regarded as real Ming soldiers, and the idea of joining the thieves in his heart has always faded, "My lord, are we going to do a big job?" ”

"Of course, we have to do a big job," Liu Yunshui took over, "If you can't complete the horses of the Wugong Bus Generation, I'm afraid there will be no hope for the future supplies." ”

Li Zicheng chuckled, "Shuishan's words are really to the point, if you can't get fifty war horses within a month, if you want to get enough food and salary in the future, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky," he coughed, "Dagan naturally has to do Dagan, cough, cough, your priority now is to train troops." ”

"My lord, haven't I been training all the time? As long as there are no soldiers on the mission, train at least half a day a day. Liu Yunshui has long lost interest in simple military training, and the battlefield of blood and fire is more suitable for him.

"Yunshui, the materials allocated by Xining Wei will be delivered soon, which is very different from our existing equipment, iron spears are much heavier than white guns, and Mingguang armor is also heavier than leather armor, and the current soldiers basically can't fire arrows, if they really want to go to the battlefield, how to hit the Mongols from a distance? Last time we carried out a sneak attack, we can't be like this forever, the Mongols have suffered several losses, they will strengthen their vigilance, sooner or later we will meet the Mongols on the battlefield head-on, at that time, the competition is not only the will of both sides and the determination to fight to the death, but also the ability to fight. ”

"My lord, my subordinates heard that the training ground does not produce strong soldiers." Liu Yunshui is still a little unwilling.

"Yunshui is also reasonable, an army can only become a strong army if it goes to the battlefield, experiences killing, and ignores blood," Li Zicheng looked directly into Liu Yunshui's eyes, "However, letting a sheep shake the lions, no matter how strong the sheep's will is, it will not actually make much sense." ”

"My lord, Yunshui has been taught!" Liu Yunshui clasped his hands into fists, and Li Zicheng saluted respectfully.

Li Zicheng waved his hand, this is the conference room, no need to be polite, "Yunshui, double happiness, your main task now is to train troops, but you must also be ready to go out at any time, once Wang Anping sends a message, it is the time for you to make meritorious contributions, come as soon as you are called, you can fight, and you will win the battle......"

"My lord, my subordinates understand!"

"Yunshui, double happiness, now is the best opportunity for military training, the results of daily training may be tested on the battlefield at any time, and the experience accumulated on the battlefield can be strengthened in military training," Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "The training time of recruits is short, and our only advantage is to fight and practice." ”

"My lord, don't the Mongols like sneak attacks? We'll have fun with them. Li Guo was also said by Liu Yunshui.

"Sneak attack is our main strategy at the moment, we don't have war horses, and soldiers can't shoot arrows," Li Zicheng smiled a little gloomy, "But sooner or later our soldiers will have to learn to shoot arrows, and we will have to form cavalry." ”

"My lord, the last time you attacked the Mongols, didn't you get a few war horses? Let the soldiers practice first! "Li Guo has seen war horses since he was a child and knows the advantages of war horses in speed.

"Cough, cough," Liu Yunshui stopped drying, "I said Chief Banner Officer Li, I fought with adults last time, and these war horses can't be your turn." ”

"You ......" Li Guo was speechless for a moment, he glanced at Li Zicheng, and stopped talking.

"Yunshui, you only fought a sneak attack, and you are engaged in mountaineering?" Li Zicheng glanced at Liu Yunshui fiercely, "Last time you fought, you were able to wipe out all the Mongols alone?" And how did you know that the Mongols grazed their cattle in that meadow? ”

......Of course, Liu Yunshui didn't dare to engage in any mountaineering, but Li Zicheng's meaning was still very clear: Winning a battle is not the credit of a certain person, although this person's credit may be outstanding.

"Victory does not belong to one person, there are brothers who work together to fight, there are brothers who spy on the enemy in dangerous areas, and there are brothers who deal with the aftermath, so the credit should belong to the whole army, and the capture in the battle belongs to the whole army, as for the war horse, it should be given to the people who need it most, of course, the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions can be rewarded separately," Li Zicheng glanced at Liu Yunshui and Li Guo, "In the future, I want to say that if I hear this kind of roommate again, the military discipline will not tolerate mercy." ”

"My lord, my subordinates know that they are wrong." Liu Yunshui lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Zicheng anymore.

Li Zicheng was still angry, "The coordinated operations we usually train are not only the coordination of a small flag, but also the coordination of a general banner, and even the coordinated operations of the whole army. And how can you go to the battlefield with confidence? ”

"Your Excellency, your subordinates...... The subordinates are confused, and they beg the adults to punish them! Liu Yunshui left his seat and knelt down in front of Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng helped him up, "Yunshui is indeed wrong, but he can change his mistakes, and he is also a man, in the future, every soldier in our battalion, regardless of his position, is our brother, 'fighting brothers, father and son soldiers', in our only concerted efforts, soldiers have combat effectiveness, it is possible to defeat the fierce Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield, Yunshui, double happiness, our opponents, not only Mongolian cavalry! ”

"My lord, what should I do with my subordinates!" Recalling Li Zicheng's self-punishment of ten rods, Liu Yunshui felt that Li Zicheng's leading troops was very special, and he didn't understand the specific ideas for a while, but he knew that as long as he listened to the words of adults, he would be right.

"My lord, my subordinates remember!" Li Guo bowed his hand to Li Zicheng, turned to Liu Yunshui and saluted, and then asked, "These war horses, can you make a decision?" ”

"To Wang Anping," Li Zicheng saw that the two were reconciled, and his eyes were more relaxed, "Tell me, why does Wang Anping's little flag need war horses the most?" ”

Liu Yunshui rolled his eyes and hurriedly said: "Wang Anping is our ranger, active in the heart of the Mongols, he may encounter Mongolian cavalry at any time, and if he finds out the information, he must also send it back in time." ”

"Yunshui is right, the Mongols come and go like the wind, and they are scattered in the vast grasslands and valleys, we often lose their traces, there are no rangers, let alone war, even the Mongols' hair can't be touched, maybe when we are looking for them, they have already gotten behind our buttocks, so this first batch of war horses must do their best to calm them."

Li Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two, and continued: "Yunshui, double happiness, don't fight, wait for the next time you have a war horse, and then assign it to you, a small flag and a small flag training, and if you can't train excellent cavalry at that time, you will be held accountable." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will ensure that we will train qualified cavalry." Liu Yunshui and Li Guo replied in unison.

"Okay, I'm talking about cattle and sheep, Yunshui, how is this going?"

"Your Excellency, rest assured that this matter has been done," Liu Yunshui suddenly came to his senses, and with a wave of his right hand, he almost knocked over the tea in front of him, "The cattle and sheep have been handed over to the people nearby, and they have said that they will be divided into three or seven, whether it is wool or mutton, we will seven and they will be three." ”

"Thirty-seven?" Li Zicheng calculated for a while, these cattle and sheep are for nothing, and they don't usually need to be managed, but they can get seventy percent of the income, "This is too much, right?" Are the people voluntary? ”

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates definitely didn't force them," Liu Yunshui looked at the big eyes with an innocent look, "These people have no land to cultivate, they are idle, and they can get thirty percent of mutton for nothing, it's too late for them to rejoice!" ”

"It's good to be voluntary," Li Zicheng smiled, "Tomorrow morning, I will personally visit these herdsmen to hear what they think, if we can form a habit or even a stable system, our future cattle and sheep will all be handed over to them for free-range." ”
