In the evening, the baggage camp stopped first.

A pond horse with a small red flag on his back came far to the front of the baggage camp, and then he pulled out his horse and turned his head, leading the way in front of the baggage camp, under the sunset, the baggage camp composed of dozens of carts turned first, and there was a fork in the mountain road in front of it, and from the fork road was a very small village, and they did not enter the village, but prepared an open space for camping on the flat ground on the periphery of the village.

The headquarters is also located here, and Tangma also leads Zhang Han and others into the pre-designated area.

At this time everyone dismounted or stopped, and they began to lay stakes and javelins on the perimeter to form a perimeter fortification, and in the camp also to drive piles, tie ropes, and pull tents, all of which were trained, and all of them did it quickly.

Except for Zhang Han, almost no one can stand still.

The baggage camp is simpler, people use large carts to form a car formation, spread tarpaulins on the inside or under the carriages, cover them with military blankets to sleep, even if there is exposure or rain, the eaves and body of the car will block the rain.

At this time, Zhang Han realized that he still lacked engineers, whether it was combat engineers or engineering engineers. These things will not be perceived if they are not really carried out to the point of war...... In the previous training, everyone had the intention of returning in one night, and they did not pay much attention to defense and fortifications, and at this time, in the face of the real threat of war, these things became rigorous...... The people who were slacking off before also included Zhang Han, he felt that he was serious enough, and only then did he know that there were still many omissions and defects.

The whole stretch of several miles is full of pond horses leading the way, they are the vanguard troops, find out the road and whether there is an enemy situation in advance, and then stipulate the camping points for each department and each bureau, and at the same time the two divisions in the command headquarters and Zhang Han are meeting, they have to decide on tonight's night garrison troops, in addition to the sequence of troops when they leave in the morning, the rotation of cavalry troops, and the password for night duty, etc.

At this time, Zhang Han felt that it was not so simple to send troops to fight, there were only more than 1,000 people in front of him, from military orders to military politics, daily management, logistics and supply, battlefield sequences, columns, these are all preparations in advance, and when he really arrives on the battlefield, he has to command on the spot, and there is still a big mess to deal with after the war, and then he knows that being a general is not easy and simple.

"Grandpa Qi is really not simple, which ......" At this time, Zhang Han remembered Qi Jiguang, Zhang Han has a team to help himself, this team he has led for almost two years, from teaching them to read and learn words to do things, and then change the way of thinking logic in their minds, now Sun Jingting and Li Dongxue and others have been very helpful, Qi Jiguang has no way to raise a team, he does everything himself, and then understands everything, everything is understood, this all-round general is really a legend, he is a peak of Ming Dynasty generals, unprecedented, there is no successor.

"Xiaozheng, you have to teach them how to do things, not how to do it all the time." Zhang Han still has time to discuss with Sun Jingting the method of cultivating his subordinates, a few Shuqi are writing or recording military orders, they are also about twenty young people, they began to enter this team two years ago, and then Zhang Han stayed by his side, and what they are doing now is just in contact with them in the past few months, fortunately, their minds are very fast, and they have done a good job.

"Wenlan, I feel that it is necessary to set up a new department, connecting the upper and lower levels, lest everything need to be run over by officers of all sizes, and you will be tired, and others will also be tired." After Sun Jingting finished explaining the matter, he said to Zhang Hanzhengse: "In fact, it is better to have a department in charge of these daily things. ”

"I have also considered what Xiao Zheng said, this time to send troops, I feel that there is a need for a special military order department, military judges and quartermasters can be under the jurisdiction or coordination of the military order department, and there must also be a military and political department, responsible for the implementation of benefits and punishments, resettlement of discharge, pensions for wounded or battle-dead soldiers, as well as records of merit and promotion of officers, selection and further study of outstanding soldiers, and so on."

Sun Jingting said: "If you believe Wenlan, I can manage the military order, and the military government needs you to find a suitable candidate." ”

Zhang Han was overjoyed and said: "I don't dare to invite you, I didn't expect you to be happy to be filial piety." ”

Sun Jingting said: "I've helped you do a lot of things recently, and I still feel that this kind of thing is the most suitable." ”

Zhang Han said: "Yes, it is very suitable, this position, you can only be Chang Wei, but Chang Wei I still need him to run outside for the time being, you are willing." In addition to the Military Orders Department and the Military Administration Department, we will also need the Engineer Bureau, and there may be more things, which we will need to discuss slowly. ”

At this time, the smell of rice came, and the people at the headquarters began to heat the rice, because the garrison line was spread, and they were not worried about being attacked by the enemy, so they could open the fire after setting up camp, and by tomorrow they would almost have to come into contact with the enemy, and then they could only eat dry food.

Zhang Han also felt hungry as he spoke, clapped his hands and said, "Let's eat, let's talk while eating." ”

……

The aroma of food was everywhere, everyone took their own lunch boxes to fill the meals, each bureau had a cooking class, according to the previous establishment of the border army, each squad had a fireman, and the weapon was also a flat pole with an iron head, and the firefighter was responsible for doing some logistics work, and cooking was one of them.

Zhang Han canceled the firefighters, he felt that they were either special auxiliary personnel or soldiers, and there was a special auxiliary role in the combat squad, and he also undertook the task of doing war, which felt a little mixed, and he didn't quite understand why the role of the firefighters was, and after groping for a period of time, he simply canceled this establishment and changed it to a cooking squad system.

"I like to eat meat steamed buns."

Zhang Chunniu was holding his iron lunch box, eating steamed buns with taste, and he was full of cheeks.

There is also some soup in the lunch box, and many people drink the soup while eating the steamed buns, making a clatter sound.

Li Shouxin and Sun Yao got together to chat, one of them was the flag captain and the other was the team officer, but the food they ate was the same as all the subordinates, there was no difference.

There were still many people who had not eaten, and it was the people of the rear team, who all walked to the designated camping area one after another, and the fire was blazing on the side of the cooking class, and the aroma of vegetable soup wafted far away, and the tired people couldn't help but walk faster.

"You also have to be able to dig up the stove eye of the cooking class." Zhang Chunniu was full, and leaned over to the two bosses and said: "The inside should be round, and the ventilation holes should also be exquisite, otherwise you will be angry." ”

"You're all about to figure this out." Sun Yao said with a smile: "I'll talk to that side tomorrow, when there is a shortage of personnel, I will make up for you." ”

"Don't." Zhang Chunniu smiled and said: "I'm just casually saying it, it's better to be a soldier." ”

"Being a soldier can be dangerous." Sun Yao said: "Don't think it's a play. ”

"Captain Flag, I'm also in my twenties." Zhang Chunniu said curtly: "Don't think I'm a child." ”

Sun Yao ignored him and said to Li Shouxin: "How many miles is the march today, have you seen the map?" ”

"Yes." Calculate the distance with a ruler This is a basic officer course, Sun Yao must be fine, he has been trained for many days, Li Shouxin's study time is still short, Sun Yao is a little worried that he may not be able to master it well.

"Forty-seven miles today." Li Shouxin said: "I only set off before noon, and after more than half a day's effort, I really walked very fast. ”

Sun Yao said with a smile: "The border army goes out, an average of ten miles a day, and our half a day is the distance they can walk in more than four days, which is really good." ”

"The rules of the border army camp are also different from ours." Li Shouxin said: "According to the curriculum, the Chinese army first set up the flag, and then calculated the size of the camp according to the position of the Chinese army flag, issued the flag, and then sounded the horn and songbird gun, calculated the distance according to the sound, and then set up camp, placed javelins and other horses, and then the Chinese army flag officer pointed out the firefighters, sent out to collect firewood and fetch water, and then struck the gong along the side of the camp. ”

"Of course that's good." Sun Yao was surprised by the high degree of Li Shouxin's acceptance of the message, and was secretly happy in his heart, he explained to Li Shouxin: "But there is no need to follow the rules, these methods and rules for camping are to prevent the sergeants from slacking off and the enemy from stealing the camp, now our cavalry is far away, and the reconnaissance is done well, in addition, we usually train very well, and the defense is good, and the front department also takes into account the enemy attack when demarcating the areas of each department, and can respond quickly, and I will have to go to the military meeting of the bureau headquarters in a while, receive the password for tonight, and then determine the rotation time, before ordering the whole army to rest, Everyone is free to move around, as long as they don't leave the camping area. ”

Li Shouxin pondered: "It's better for us to follow these rules." ”

Sun Yao didn't know that Zhang Han had such a rule because his army was significantly different from the Ming army. The training of the Ming army in peacetime is very sparse, the nutrition is also poor, there are a lot of night blindness, Zhang Han's subordinates have rarely had night blindness after conditioning, the rate is very low, in addition to the training in peacetime is very strict, just to fight against the emergency assembly and simulation of night attacks have been carried out countless times, such an army is not afraid of the enemy's sneak attack, because of the strictness of peacetime, the march and garrison before the battle can be appropriately loosened, used to tell the subordinates to relax their nerves, otherwise it is easy to rebound if it collapses too tightly, and the Ming army is because of insufficient training, In the barracks of the Ming army, it is not even allowed to talk at night, let alone express cowardice or homesickness, nor are it allowed to cry, and the slightest violation may face beheading, Zhang Han believes that the more perverted and stern it is, the more it means that the control of the army is very weak, and that's it.

After a while, Sun Yao came back from participating in the military meeting at the bureau headquarters, his subordinates were walking around and laughing at will, there were originally some nervous recruits, but they gradually relaxed in such an atmosphere, after all, there were a large number of experienced officers and veterans in the army, and they could calm the emotions of the recruits.
