Text Chapter 1257 Attention
As the leader of the guards, Jiang Yi's burden is the heaviest.
The attendants helped Zhang Han from various angles, for example, Li Gui focused on military and map matters, Wu Qi was military and military and political, and some focused on finance and taxation, some were military quartermasters, and some were attendants in military law.
The attendants don't need to put too much energy into protecting Zhang Han, of course, they are also the closest people to Zhang Han, and they will also be a protective barrier when there is really a police.
On the periphery were carefully selected special guards, numbering about 600 men, which was almost a full battalion, and covered almost all the arms of Hutchison, dragoons, chasseurs, lancers, and chariots equipped with thick guards, as well as small artillery to accompany them.
In such an escort force, the soldiers are all strong soldiers selected from the front troops, and they feel that it is a supreme honor to be able to serve by Zhang Han's side for a period of time.
The officers have rarely changed, they have served for many years, they are innocent, and their families are living in the Hutchison-controlled area.
With such a force to protect, even if it is traveling back and forth among the Mongolian tribes, not many people will worry about Zhang Han's safety. Even if someone can evade the reconnaissance of the Military Intelligence Department and suddenly assemble an army of more than 10,000 to besiege it, it is quite difficult to trap such an army.
Moreover, Zhang Han's route along the way was protected by soldiers and fire piers, even if there were really more than 10,000 troops coming, could he gnaw down a certain heavily guarded fire pier before the Hutchison reinforcements arrived, the answer was of course self-evident.
Jiang Yi was not too worried about the real enemy attack, but it was his responsibility to protect him, and every detail had to be considered quite thoughtfully.
When he saw a large force of cavalry coming from the Nancheng area, Jiang Yi was still relieved no matter what.
The thousands of miles between the north and the south, as well as the more than 3,000 miles from Qingcheng, were undoubtedly a torment for Jiang Yi.
Every night, after everyone had fallen asleep, they should take the guards on duty in the camp and get up as early as dawn to wait for the return of the sentry in front.
Siye is lonely, dozens of miles without people is the most stressful time, at that time the most feared is that suddenly a large force of ambush cavalry appeared on the horizon, fortunately, thank God, return to the south city of Chatu safely, and then connect with the garrison, the garrison will send a section of the journey back, and then return according to the route when it came, the convoy has followed, along the way to build forts and supply maintenance points, at least when the return trip will not be more than ten days without seeing a figure.
It was Ma Wu who came to greet him, as well as Zhang Shixiong, Xu Zhen and Lin Nanxing and other officers.
The strength of the city has been considerably strengthened, with two complete hunting battalions, a dragoon regiment, an artillery battalion, plus more than a dozen brigades of baggage troops, and the garrison and military division personnel are close to about 30,000.
Of course, it is impossible to maintain such a large number of garrisons for a long time, and the troops have been deployed elsewhere, and it should be said that there will be ten brigades of troops to carry out construction and transportation work along the line from Chatu Nancheng to Qingcheng, and if the financial situation of the military division allows in two or three years, according to Zhang Han's ambitious plan, a simple road may be built on the line from Qingcheng to Chatu Nancheng, which can make it easier and faster to pass through the carriages, so that even if this large area is really locked.
Normally, the garrison should be around 5,000 people, or 3,000 people, and this number can make the army replenish military supplies
