With Siam, a reliable logistics supply base, Xiao Ruxun's grasp of this battle has increased a few points, especially some plans after the war, and he has also increased his confidence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"These generals have all remembered that in this battle, in addition to Chen Lan's naval division, all the soldiers and horses brought by the Ningxia firearms battalion are 5,000, the wolf soldiers are recruited and transferred 5,000, and the soldiers and horses directly under the general are around 25,000 people, and the troops of Deng Zilong and Liu Wei together are only seven or eight thousand, if Chen Yongbin's Yunnan soldiers do not fight, the soldiers and horses brought by the last general will be about 33,000, and in addition to the 3,000 sailors who stay behind, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses who can be transferred to the front line.

There should not be many soldiers and horses in Guangxi and Yunnan that can be mobilized, and the number of soldiers and horses in Lin Lin is only 35,000, and the soldiers and horses of the Siamese people will not be too much, but the soldiers and horses of the Dongwu Kingdom are expected to be about 80,000 or more, and the number of people who can be directly mobilized is about 80,000, and there are still some local garrisons, and the total strength should be 1230,000, and the battle is still not very smooth. ”

Shi Xing said with a smile: "Liaodong, North Korea, Ji Xin used 40,000 soldiers and horses to clean up the 200,000 army of the Japanese State, one against five, Ji Xin can still win all, no defeat, this time one against four, Ji Xin is not sure?" ”

Xiao Ruxun arched his hand and said with a smile: "The last general is not to say that he is not sure, but to say that the water and soil are not adaptable is a very serious hurdle, and if he has to survive, the last general can ensure that the elite soldiers and horses can come in handy. It also takes time to adapt to the environment, and the muddy roads are not easy to walk, and the problem of this battle is not the number of troops, but whether the soldiers under the last general can adapt to the local climate. ”

Shi Xing put away his smile and looked at Wang Benhe: "Wang Tongyi, the people of the Ming Dynasty who have always gone to the land of Siam, have there been people who have died without adapting to the water and soil?" ”

Wang Benhe nodded: "That's natural, the land of Siam, the climate is humid and sultry, the body must not be dry all year round, there will be a little slimy feeling, the northerners who are accustomed to the cool climate of the north suddenly come, there will definitely be some discomfort, and there are many mosquitoes, the bite is very powerful, if you don't know the prevention and control method, there are not a few people who die for this, but if you can get used to it for a while, get through, it's no problem."

It's summer again, when the soldiers go out, please be sure to wear single clothes, refreshing and breathable, winter clothes can be carried, but not necessarily used, those places are the most comfortable in winter, equivalent to the spring in the north, but there are also some years that will be a little cold, the reason why they carry winter clothes, is just to prevent the war from delaying, they eat the staple food of rice, because of their climate, two crops and three crops a year abound, the population is still small, so they are not short of food. ”

"Then our army can ask the Siamese people to help with more food, or we can buy some rice from them, the rice in the south is very delicious, and the old man likes it very much."

Shi Xing said with a smile.

Xiao Ruxun also nodded and said to Wang Benhe: "What method do you say to prevent mosquito bites?" As far as Ben Governor knows, a mosquito bite is not a trivial matter, and a bad one can kill a person. ”

Shi Xing was stunned: "Can you kill someone? ”

Wang Benhe nodded: "There are a lot of mosquitoes in those places, and the mosquitoes in the north of my Central Plains are very different, the locals even say that some of them are poisonous mosquitoes, the wound is suppurated and ulcerated after being bitten, and they die in a few days, so if you go to the local area, you need to light it with special herbs, smoke all over the barracks, and the soldiers should take a bath frequently, keep the body clean, especially the feet, if you can't keep the feet clean, there is humid and stuffy, and if you travel for a long time, the feet will ulcerate, and people will die." ”

Shi Xing's complexion became a little unfavorable, and he kept sighing: "This environment is really not conducive to my Northland soldiers!" Ji Xin, you ...... I'm afraid that you and the Ningxia Firearms Battalion under your command are in some trouble. ”

Xiao Ruxun is not so embarrassed.

If you only drink boiled water and do not drink raw water, only eat cooked hot food and do not eat raw food and rotten food, take frequent baths and wash your feet to keep your body dry and clean, smoke mosquitoes with herbs, and there will be no water and soil dissuitability, at most it is hot and dry, and then go to the local area, Siamese people will also help me, so don't worry.

What needs to be worried now is that the Dongwu people are not weak in force, the military is strong, and they are good at using firearms, and there are Xiyi in the army as a military instructor to guide the use of firearms, so the last general guessed that the firearms troops of the Dongwu people will not be weaker than the Ningxia firearms battalion, and they will not fight like the Wa State does not even have a cannon, so easy to deal with. ”

Wang Benhe deeply agreed: "According to the lower officials, the Ningxia firearms battalion is already the highest standard of firearms troops in the Ming Dynasty, and the lower officials have never seen such a well-organized firearms unit, but in the land of Siam, the bird guns seen by the lower officials are not weaker than the Ningxia firearms battalion, and the other side is also experienced in a hundred battles, and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is stronger than them but it is useless, and it may be raided by their elephant soldiers." ”

"Elephant soldiers? Ah! The old man actually forgot that King Mu had dealt with elephant soldiers in Yunnan back then, and remembered that King Mu used the method of three-stage continuous firearms to deter elephant soldiers to repel them, and now, those elephant soldiers are afraid that they are also proficient in the sound of guns and cannons, and they are no longer afraid, right? ”

Shi Xing seemed worried.

Xiao Ruxun shook his head: "A beast is a beast after all, there is always something it is afraid of, if you are not afraid of the sound of guns, just get some mice, I don't believe that those elephants can still hold it!" ”

Shi Xing was stunned for a moment, but Wang Benhe stroked his palms and laughed: "Hahahaha!" What the Admiral said was true! The Admiral also knew that elephants were afraid of rats? Such a huge thing, we are afraid of it, but it is afraid of the little little mouse, this world is really wonderful, all things are really wonderful, one thing descends one thing, the ancients are not deceived by me! That's right, to deal with elephant soldiers, either use firearms to expel or, use rats to expel them, if it rains heavily from the sky and firearms are not available, rats are the best choice, hahahaha! ”

"Hahahahaha......"

Shi Xing also seemed to be amused by this, and laughed heartily.

Laughing and smiling, it seems that this battle is under control, and the Ming Dynasty has won the battle, but Xiao Ruxun is more vigilant and more careful, he knows very well that with the help of those foreigners, the firearms technology of those savages in Dongwu Country is already above the Ming army, if he wants to compete with it, he also needs to hire a mercenary army of foreigners, so that he will not suffer.

Thinking about it like this, Xiao Ruxun already has some plans, and this time he goes south, maybe he can put it into use.

It was discussed until the afternoon, Xiao Ruxun came out of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and planned to invite Wang Benhe out for a meal and have a good exchange of Siamese people, but as soon as he left the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he saw a servant anxiously looking inside the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and when he saw Xiao Ruxun coming out, the servant immediately greeted him.

"Shiro! Madame is going to give birth! Madame is going to give birth! The lord wants the villain to call you back!! ”

Xiao Ruxun, who was exchanging Siamese customs with Wang Benhe, was stunned for a moment, and then stared at the servant, Wang Benhe seemed to be stunned by this sudden happy event.

"What did you say?"

"Madame is going to give birth! It's going to give birth!! ”

Then Wang Benhe saw a phantom pass in front of his eyes, flew on a horse, and the horse neighed, and ran away.
