Section 410 Dingnan Army
The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty
In the Gushan school field, the dense dark clouds in the sky were gloomy and shrouded above, and in the distance, there was still a touch of red burning clouds in the gap.
From time to time, the mountain breeze blows, making people feel chilly. In such weather, most of the rain cannot fall, which makes the soldiers training in the school extremely complaining.
It seems that the idea of asking God to help cool down has failed.
Overlooking the entire school field from above, the team of 8,000 people is divided into several teams and is training in full swing. Although it was cold weather in early winter, they were still sweating.
The high-intensity training and abundant food have significantly improved the physical fitness of the officers and men, and there are few poor people with yellow faces and thin muscles in the army.
Of course, since the physical fitness has improved, the corresponding amount of training is gradually increased.
These 8,000-strong team is a pure infantry, not practicing horsemanship or formation, only practicing physical fitness and tactics, and it is a musket team that Qin Haoming is preparing to develop with all his might.
The production of steel pipes in Xuanda has solved technical problems and provided conditions for large-scale equipment of firearms. Although it could not reach the range and accuracy of later generations in a short time, it was more than enough to cope with the wars of this era.
Cold weapons will eventually withdraw, and the future world will be the era of hot weapons, as a descendant, Qin Haoming knows very well.
"Brother, why are you here so late?"
Zhang Yun was sweaty, panting and running from the front, seeing that there was no one else, he returned to his original family name.
"Xiaojian, hard work!"
Qin Haoming patted Zhang Yun's strong shoulder, a little apologetic.
"It's not hard, in the past year, Xiao Jian has learned a lot, and I feel very fulfilling."
Zhang Yun stood tall, a trace of pride flashed between his eyes, and said calmly.
Fighting a brother, I can help my brother solve problems, who else can I do!
"Walk with my brother, there are some things that I have to talk to you about."
Looking at Zhang Yun's promoted figure, resolute face, and sharp eyes, Qin Haoming was very relieved.
This brother of mine has grown up very fast, and after more than a year of training, he is already a qualified soldier. It only takes a few tough battles to complete the transformation into a real high-level general.
Speaking of which, Zhang Yun can be described as hard-working and relentless, and his contribution is great.
In the early stage, he helped manage the soap workshop and trained 2,000 escorts. After that, he and Lu Xinrong went to Dengzhou, took control of the Dengzhou Navy, and trained 3,000 marines.
Now, because of his own needs, he stayed here to train the 8,000 muskets.
Unconsciously, in the past year or so, he has trained an elite team of 13,000 people according to the training guidelines he gave him.
In this way, with the addition of the 3,000 men and horses of Dong Changqing of the Dezhou Governor and the 6,000 cavalry of the Tianxiong Army, and the 1,000 people composed of the night and the personal guards, the descendants under his command have reached 23,000 people.
However, these centaurs are far from enough for their own plans.
Coming to the edge of the school field, there was no obstruction on all sides, the line of sight was unobstructed, and he waved away the guards on the left and right, Qin Haoming pondered for a moment, and then said slowly:
"Brother Yun, after this wedding, before the good year, you will stay in Fujian and train these 8,000 musketeers, so that our family can also have a reunion festival.
However, you should use the two months or so to transfer outstanding generals and schools at all levels to form a training battalion of about 300 people for the training of recruits after the year. ”
"Is my brother going to continue recruiting new recruits?"
Zhang Yun asked in surprise.
"Well, time is running out, otherwise I am afraid that there will not be enough time."
Qin Haoming sighed and stared at Zhang Yun's excited expression, "Prepare for my brother to combine the musketeers and the Dengzhou Weishui Army to form a 120,000-strong Dingnan Army." ”
"120,000? There aren't enough barracks! ”
Rao is Zhang Yun was prepared, and he was also shocked by his brother's generosity.
"Well, the musketeers, or also the infantry, recruited 60,000 people, 5,000 people were put in each of the eight Fujian lands for training, and 20,000 people were put in the Gushan camp.
Boyu's Dengzhou Navy, the Marine Corps recruited 40,000 men, 20,000 sailors, helmsmen, and sailors, and trained them in the Zhoushan Islands and Dengzhouwei respectively.
In addition, docks were established in Mawei, Fuzhou and Sanduao, Ningde, to prepare for the future.
It is divided into several places in this way, and it is difficult for those who have a heart to notice it in a short period of time.
Therefore, after the year, you have to jump out of the training, connect the four coastlines of Dengzhou, Zhoushan, Sanduao, and Mawei, and work with Boyu to firmly control the troops.
Remember, be sure to do it like your fingers. ”
Qin Haoming told Zhang Yun in detail about his arrangements and troop planning.
"Brother, how many people does Xiao Jian want to send from the attendant room to help?"
Zhang Yun stared at the red burning clouds in the sky, and his heart rolled through the hot stream, crying out for help.
"Yes, hand it over to me after the personnel list is drawn up, as well as the personal guard generals for my brother, you can choose at will."
Qin Haoming smiled, and then thought of something, "By the way, there are two people who have been arranged for brothers, one Xu Hongxuan and one Wu Feng, and they have already started to set up the Nanyang Bureau."
The eyes and ears of the Dingnan Army cooperate with you. ”
"It's a pity!" Zhang Yun smacked his tongue, unwilling, touched his chin and said, "Wu Feng, this kid is really talented, and he made his brother notice him in a short time."
Otherwise, I think since he doesn't want to stay in the Marine Corps, then go to the musket team, no, he is always willing to go to the Dingnan Army to lead the troops, but he was taken by his brother first, alas! ”
"It's not surprising that talents, such as those in the cone bag, will always show their heads.
Wu Feng is clearly organized, good at analysis and planning, and has his own ideas, in fact, the most rare thing is his meticulous thinking, in fact, it is ......
Forget it, let him practice his hands first, I look forward to him cooperating with Xu Hongxuan, and he can play the role of the Nanyang Bureau to the extreme, and you will pay more attention to it when the time comes. ”
The Nanyang Bureau was a decision made by Qin Haoming after careful consideration, and he considered the candidates for a long time, so he fell in love with Wu Feng and Xu Hongxuan, one article and one martial arts, hoping that they would complement each other.
Hearing what his brother said, Zhang Yun had no choice but to give up.
But there is one thing he still can't figure out, that is, I have heard my brother talk about it several times, but it seems that the current situation seems to be good.
Needless to say, Jiannu defeated his brother twice, and even the rebels in the northwest did not hear any bad news, and everything seemed to be going in a smooth direction.
"Brother, since there is the Dingnan Army, is there still the Dingbei Army or the Dingxi Army?"
Zhang Yun didn't ask directly, but asked on the side.
"If we dare to create an army of the east, west, north and south, won't the Son of Heaven immediately skin us?"
Qin Haoming glanced at Zhang Yun, his face was serious, "Pay attention in the future, the specific soldiers of the Dingnan Army can only be known by a limited number of people."
Anyway, our army is a conscription system, and the military department does not have a roster, so it is difficult to check. ”10
