The emperor brought a small number of soldiers on this patrol, and the garrisons from all over the country took over the escort, which can be regarded as a form of training and parade, but it cannot be too close to the emperor, and is only responsible for the vigilance of a few miles or more than ten miles away.

Dozens of generals recommended by Fang Daye before his death rushed to the camp one after another, and the generals selected by Han Ruzi by reading the chapter have been following him, and the two groups together have more than 70 people, and the task they got was to temporarily govern the local army, and since the departure from the capital, they have taken over seven armies.

Han Ruzi was very satisfied with these generals, and believed that as long as time passed, all of them would be great generals.

The local army let Han Ruzi see the other side of Dachu, compared with the elite capital and the outside army, the number of local troops is insufficient, as few as a few hundred, as many as one or two thousand, the clothes and armor are shabby, it seems that they have not been trained, and many times they are not even in line, looking from a distance, like a group of defeated soldiers being chased.

In this case, the ability of the generals is especially tested, some are helpless, and others are able to turn a rabble into a slightly decent army in a very short time.

Chen Huan is such a general.

This person is in his thirties, born in a family of soldiers, has been a soldier for several generations, until his grandfather did he get a small martial arts, Chen Huan joined the army at the age of sixteen, stayed in the frontier for seven or eight years, and then transferred back to the south, responsible for exterminating the Yunmengze group of thieves, because of the small number of soldiers, did not make outstanding military achievements, but the city he guarded was never plundered, so Han Ruzi noticed his name in the song.

Han Ruzi rode a horse and stood on a hill, looked at the army of the East China Sea Kingdom in the distance, and said: "The East China Sea Country often fights with pirates, and the army is really different from other places, Chen Huan, what do you think?" ”

Chen Huan did not have the turn to manage the army this time, and stayed by the emperor's side as an advisor.

There were a lot of people around the emperor, layer upon layer, and as soon as Chen Huan's name was called, someone immediately pushed him forward.

Chen Huan's personality is completely different from his name, he is not arrogant at all, he walked forward in small steps, saluted the emperor, and replied: "Your Majesty has seen carefully, this army has advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and it is obviously well-trained in peacetime, but as far as the last general knows, this is not the East China Sea National Army, but the naval army established by His Majesty's decree." ”

Han Ruzi remembered it and said with a smile: "That's right. ”

The naval army that Han Ruzi ordered to set up two years ago has now taken shape, but the general he values most is missing.

"Chen Huan, such an army, plus an ordinary local army, will be handed over to you, how will you use it?"

Chen Huan groaned slightly, "It depends." ”

"Assume a few scenarios for yourself."

"If it is a land battle, if the enemy is weak and I am strong, then the naval army and the local army are mixed into an army, and the elite soldiers lead the weak soldiers to fight together, if the enemy and I are evenly matched, the weak soldiers are positive, and the exclusive defense is just, the elite soldiers are strange, the flank charges, and break the enemy in one fell swoop, if the enemy is strong and I am weak, the elite soldiers fight the first battle, show courage to both the enemy and us, and then the whole army retreats to the defendable place."

"What if it's a water war?" Han Ruzi asked.

"You can't use weak soldiers in water warfare, and if you use soldiers at the end of the day, you'd rather leave weak soldiers on the shore to meet them than let them get on board."

Chen Huan has omitted many "hypothetical" situations, and when it comes to the battlefield, the situation will only become more complicated, and there are no certain rules.

Han Ruzi nodded, turned his head to look for the accompanying officials of the military department in the crowd, looked at him and asked, "The navy army is the imperial army, what about the local garrison of the East China Sea Kingdom?" ”

The official hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "On the periphery, far away, you can't see it here." ”

"Who is the receiver?"

"This army is only responsible for clearing roads and setting up checkpoints, so ...... No generals were sent to take over. ”

The will is clearly stated, but when it comes to the specific implementation, there will still be all kinds of explanations that go against the original intention, Han Ruzi did not show annoyance, and said flatly: "There are so many generals around me who are idle, send more people to take over the East China Sea National Army." ”

The officials of the military department hastily confessed, received the order to retreat, and immediately arranged for the generals to go to the East China Sea National Army.

Han Ruzi said to the king of the East China Sea again: "Why don't you go and take a look?" ”

The King of the East China Sea was by the emperor's side, and he was one of the few horseback riders, so he was stunned when he heard this, "Huh? Your Majesty asked me to go...... I'll just go and see, in fact, there is nothing to see, the local army is all like that, usually either farming, or building roads and walls, there is no time to train, not so much the army, it is better to ...... Well, I'll check it out. ”

The king of the East China Sea is the great Sima of the Su Guard, and he went to a scattered local army, which means a little condescending, he is reluctant, but the emperor is staring, and he can only agree.

Han Ruzi looked at it for a while, and then designated Chen Huan as the temporary "general of the navy" and went to the navy to lead the generals.

Han Ruzi rode down the mountain and continued on the road, and all the attendants also got on their horses and accompanied him.

Ahead is the boundary of the East China Sea State, and there is still a day away from the Zhizhi, and the Donghai State only sent troops and a small number of civilian officials according to the regulations, and the main officials stayed in the Zhizhi Office and did not go out of the city to pick up the driver.

In the evening of the same day, the patrol team set up camp, and Han Ruzi temporarily summoned the ministers and announced a will that surprised everyone: to stop at the border of the East China Sea for three days, the navy and the East China Sea army practiced tactics, and the emperor wanted to visit it in person.

Nowadays, the emperor has too many ideas, often changing from day to day, the officials have long been used to it, but they still have a headache in private, the emperor has a random idea, they have to stay up in the middle of the night, write orders, and then transmit all parties, and afterwards have to supervise overnight, so as not to have accidents, don't want to sleep steadily.

In fact, the emperor was not idle.

Han Ruzi knew how much trouble his one would bring, and when the officials were busy, he didn't sleep, and issued several orders alone.

The right patrol imperial Shi Qu Zixi will go out of the city in advance to see the emperor, and the will will come and go, and he will probably be able to arrive the day after tomorrow.

Chen Huan was summoned again that night.

"During the day, I just watched from a distance, what do you think of this naval army after General Chen took over?"

The emperor's tent was extremely simple, except for a table, a chair, several stools, and seven or eight boxes on the side, none of the contents were taken out, only the carpet under his feet showed something special.

Chen Huan didn't care at all, but became more and more respectful, bowed down and replied: "This naval army is not large, more than 2,000 people, but it has been trained by General Lou Chuan, and after the last general is temporarily in charge, I feel that it is an elite army." ”

Han Ruzi nodded, Huang Pugong is a rare general, and the army he trained will naturally not be bad.

"Do you think this army can fight?"

Chen Huan was slightly stunned, "The last general dared to ask, who do you want to fight with?" ”

"Pirates."

Chen Huan is a cautious general, even in front of the emperor is unwilling to pretend to be brave, such a character has made him in the army for more than ten years of obscurity, and now he can't change it, he thought about it carefully for a while, "The last general asked, there are still more than 50 warships in the East China Sea, including nine large ships, which can be the main force, if it is an ordinary bandit, it is enough, if it is in the face of the group of pirates who once ambushed General Huang, I am afraid that it is not enough." ”

"There are still a large number of surrendered pirates in the East China Sea Country, can you use them?"

Chen Huan thought for a while, "The surrendered pirates are unstable, they can only be guided, not relied on, if they can find a few people who are familiar with the sea conditions, they may be able to fight, mainly surprise attacks, not wars." ”

"Let's just take this as a topic, you go and write a war book, I want to see it."

"Yes."

The emperor often came up with similar questions on the way to patrol and hunt, passing by a certain city, a certain mountain and a certain river, he had to ask how to attack and defend, and sometimes even designated one side to attack and the other side to defend, each with a war method, arguing endlessly, but most of them were on paper, and they were not really implemented, which frightened many people at first, and then they got used to it.

Chen Huan was not surprised, and returned to his army after receiving the order, and summoned the generals overnight to inquire about the situation at sea and formulate a battle plan.

In the afternoon of the next day, Han Ruzi went to parade the army, the navy army was no problem, but the Donghai national army was a plate of scattered sand, and the king of the East China Sea could not make them change overnight, a total of more than 1,500 people, even the armor was not complete, the soldiers were armed with knives and guns, and they looked nervous, wanting to see the emperor, but afraid of being seen by the emperor.

Hundreds of Su guards were separated in the middle, this was the practice insisted on by the Ministry of War, and the local army was uneven, and they could not be allowed to get too close to the emperor.

Although the army of the East China Sea was weak, it was no worse than other counties, so the king of the East China Sea did not hide it and presented it directly to the emperor.

The navy army and the East China Sea national army conducted a confrontation exercise, the superior rebelled, the number of the navy army was larger, after several changes of formation, the East China Sea national army was divided into three parts, not connected with each other, before the war, it was already in the place of victory.

Han Ruzi rewarded the two armies without making any judgments.

Back at the camp, Han Ruzi had just sat down in the tent, Cui Teng walked in, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty really likes to parade the army, how many troops have you seen along the way?" ”

"Dachu is a vast place, and there can't be just a few elite soldiers, the more the merrier."

"Of course."

"Do you have a problem?" Han Ruzi asked.

Cui Teng follows the emperor every day, but unless there is really something, he will not take the initiative to come over and speak.

"That...... Is the King of the East Sea suitable for managing the army? ”

"What's wrong?"

"He's ......," Cui Teng made a few inexplicable gestures.

"It's only temporary, three or five days at most."

Cui Teng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good, huh...... When will Your Majesty also give me an army? I'm even less demanding, even for a day. ”

The king of the East China Sea knows some ways to govern the army, but Cui Teng doesn't know how to do it, and he can't even talk about the army on paper, let alone lead the troops in person, Han Ruzi smiled and said: "You all go to lead the troops, who will I leave by my side?" ”

Cui Teng slapped his head, "That's right." ”

Han Ruzi happened to have something to ask, so he said casually: "Cui Teng, your family has a lot of fields, right?" ”

"It should be a lot, anyway, every autumn, people who come into the house to report accounts and deliver things line up in a long line."

"There are a lot of slaves, right?"

"It's definitely not comparable to the palace, but it's a lot, I've seen the roster, stacked so high." Cui Teng gestured, "I have a headache when I see it." ”

Cui Teng is a person who answers all questions, Han Ruzi snorted, didn't ask any more questions, and looked down at the chapter.

Cui Teng was still unsatisfied, and wanted to brag a few more words, but seeing that the emperor didn't seem to be very interested, he had to retreat.

On the second watch of the night, Jin Chunzhong came from Huxian County quickly, and the news he brought was related to the fields and slaves.

Han Ruzi refused to go to the Donghai National Governance Office immediately, and it was him who was waiting. (To be continued.) )
