Cheng Yue didn't know about the Yuan army's grand plans to deal with him. He was busy writing cavalry drills. There were many officers of all ranks in the tent who were looking at his pen and notebook and swallowing saliva, and they had come to ask questions.

Cheng Yue wrote one, and then stopped to ask their opinions. These people are all battle-hardened, so they naturally know where to work hard, coupled with Cheng Yue's experience from later generations, the infantry drill has been completed, and only the last few strokes of the cavalry are left. Cheng Yue also had to compile the drill manuals for the engineering troops, artillery troops, reconnaissance troops, logistics troops, and so on, and he still had 20,000 recruits in Pingjiang, which he had to complete as soon as possible.

Seeing that Cheng Yue finally stopped his pen and asked, "Childe, can you play live ammunition tomorrow?" ”

Cheng Yue looked up at him and said, "Not yet, but soon." This is also because you are skilled in archery, and your progress is very fast, and ordinary people are even slower. What's more, I'm going to give Boyan a false impression that those stupid birds are useful, and I'll talk about it when they can't stand it anymore. Moreover, I am still waiting for a group of people, a group of people who will definitely appear, and when they come, it is time for you to do it, and you must practice seriously in the past few days, and you must not slack off. I have to check before shooting, and whoever is not qualified will hand over the gun, and I don't want people who don't have perseverance and perseverance. You get the idea, right? ”

Zhang Guidao: "Childe is waiting for reinforcements from the Yuan army?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "It's okay." I was also inspired by it. Guess if these monks and Taoists can't hold on, who will make up for it? ”

"Lama!" Duan Liansheng's eyes lit up.

"Yes, since Kublai Khan was empowered, these lamas have become more and more arrogant, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil. I'm just going to wait for them to come, and let them all die here. You say that these monks and Taoists are fine, but these lamas are dead, what will happen? ”

Duan Liansheng said: "It is said that the Yuan Dynasty once organized a great debate on Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism was defeated, and more than a dozen Taoist priests were shaved on the spot. Childe is going to provoke them to fight again? ”

"Yes, to destroy a country, or a people, and above all to destroy his faith. Many Yuan soldiers now believe in Lamaism, often regardless of life and death in pursuit of the afterlife. I just want to fight it with Taoism and Buddhism in the south, so that the aura of Lamaism disappears and makes it worthless. In this way, the internal fighting in the Yuan Dynasty will intensify, the soldiers will be confused, and our chances will be greater. ”

The people in the tent gasped, and Zhang Gui said with admiration: "This is a desperate plan." ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said: "That's right, but there is a more interesting name, psychological warfare." ”

"Psychological warfare?"

"Yes, in war, we must be good at using all methods that may harm the enemy and save ourselves, and psychological warfare is one of them. In fact, you also have a lot of applications. For example, shouting loudly on the battlefield is a way to deter the enemy. By the way, you have been practicing empty guns for me these days, and you don't have to make sure that the barrel does not move when you pull the trigger. In this way, when those lamas arrive, you can blow their heads at a distance, and it is too difficult, and you can also have chests. The guards do not practice this, and tomorrow they will start practicing ambushes in the field and long-term training with guns. ”

A sergeant entered the tent and said, "Childe, he has simply made 15,000 pairs of gloves that you asked Li Shixiu to make, and he has sent someone to send them." ”

"Oh, well, that's a good thing, brothers don't have to let their hands freeze anymore. Take off, you send it down immediately. ”

"Yes."

After a while, there was a tumultuous cheer and lively discussion in the barracks. The people in the tent were expecting, and they walked in with dozens of gloves that had just been delivered.

Everyone gathered around and screamed for a while.

The gloves are made of coarse cloth. It's very simple, it's also very rough, and it's not too good to do it in a hurry, but for everyone, it's still a fresh product that has never been seen before. What's more, it's very practical.

Tokh took a pair that he had carefully selected and sent it to Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue smiled, patted his hand and said, "You use this, I have it." As he spoke, he took out the gloves he had been carrying in his pocket and put them on.

Only then did everyone know that Cheng Yue had gloves early on, and they were so exquisite, but everyone didn't wear them, and Cheng Yue didn't wear them either. I couldn't help but be deeply moved.

Cheng Yue waved his hand and signaled everyone to stop talking, before he said, "With gloves, we have another chance of winning." You don't have to suffer like that. That's all for today. Zhang Gui, you have taken them to insist on training these days, and I have to concentrate on finishing the drill manuals of other arms, and time waits for no one. Without being summoned, don't come here to disturb me, if there is anything to find Totoku and Zhang Gui, stay in the camp, don't let Boyan take advantage of the loophole. Go ahead. ”

And they were commanded to go out of their tents.

Zhang Gui stayed and said, "Liu Shun has been waiting there, and the things have been loaded." ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "The big camp will be handed over to you, if Boyan dares to rush out, use the machine gun I gave you to strafe and beat them back." I'll talk about it when I get back. I wrote the drill manual, you have to practice during this time, and I will come back and tell me how it is. ”

"Yes. You also have to be careful. ”

"Got it."

Cheng Yue trained Zhang Gui to operate the machine gun alone, except that he did not shoot live ammunition, there was no big problem, and Zhang Gui saw that the process was more and more to operate the machine gun. At worst, it was easy to guard the camp. For the sake of the action he had already planned, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that those lamas had not yet come, and sailed north to save some people.

Cheng Yue brought his own equipment, put on the wig he had just made, and when it was dark, under the cover of Zhang Gui, he quietly slipped out of the barracks, accompanied by fifty trained guards. A small group of people finally arrived at a very quiet shallow bay by the river. There were dozens of cargo ships waiting for him.

Cheng Yue's weird clothes are the best pass. The boat put the board down, Cheng Yue boarded the boat, and Liu Shun was already waiting for him on the boat.

As soon as Liu Shun saw Cheng Yue, he immediately grabbed his hand and said, "I have mastered the astrological technique that Gongzi taught me last time, it is really useful." There is also the world map that Childe gave me, I have been studying it for a long time, and I am preparing for a long voyage, Childe will come to see my plan and teach me some more. ”

Cheng Yue was pulled into the cabin by him, changed his clothes, and hid his weapon in the mezzanine under the ship's plank. The ship has gone upstream.

Liu Shun took out a copy of the plan he had written, and Cheng Yue looked at it carefully. While watching, I thought, and I wrote and drew on it.

After a while, Cheng Yue finally stopped and said, "I heard that there is a man named Zhang Xuan in the open sea, there are more than 500 boats, and he is also familiar with the sea, you have to go and surrender him." Occupy the Ryukyus first, manage it well, and then wait for me to build a large number of guns, take Mayi and Malacca, and then try to move westward. That's the order. I know you'd love to get to Europe right away, but you can't rush it. I'm going to build the guns first, so we can dominate the rivers, the seas, and the whole world. What's more, you're going to build a sea ship. I have the drawings here, you ask Li Shixiu for money and people, and let him start building them now, so that he can sail away. I still have plans to conquer Japan, and I can't do without sea ships. ”

Speaking of this, he stopped and smiled, patted Liu Shun on the shoulder and said, "Japan has Iwami Silver Mountain, and it also produces gold, copper and iron. With that, everything we want to do is ready to go. Kublai Khan's stupid pig used a Goryeo man-made river boat to fight at sea, and of course the whole army would be wiped out. The Mongols are just uneducated barbarians, we are different, we have won. ”

Liu Shun's eyes were so happy that he said, "Childe, I'll go back and make arrangements." He shouted outside again: "Wang Shiyuan, come here." ”

A dark-faced, strong-looking young man walked in and bowed.

Liu Shun pointed at him and said, "Xiaguan's face, I know too many people, so let him accompany Gongzi this time." He was my brother-in-law, and although he was skilled in both water and land warfare, he had returned home since he heard that I had surrendered to the Mongols. This time, I specially came to him, just to let him make some contributions under the command of Gongzi. ”

Wang Shiyuan was just about to pay a big salute, but Cheng Yue had already helped him and said, "I, I don't talk about so many rules, if you do it well, the big gift will be waived, and you won't need it in the future." Soldiers, how can they kneel down casually? ”

Wang Shiyuan was excited when he heard this, and said: "When my brother-in-law just told me that he had demoted Cheng Gongzi, I was still a little unimpressed, thinking that Cheng Gongzi is so young, what big thing can he achieve?" But when I saw it today, I really saw extraordinary things, and great things can be expected. ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said: "Big things, it's still to come, you follow me, you won't be bored." Liu Shun, you go back, train the soldiers, and build a warship. Did you start building the blast furnace I asked you to build for steelmaking? ”

"According to the drawings drawn by Childe, it has already begun. On one of the islands, it was surrounded by our navy, and high walls were built around it. The craftsmen are also starting to gather, and the molds that Childe is going to make are also working, but the money that Childe gave me last time was almost spent. ”

"Oh, I've got a lot of possessions along the way, and you need to get rid of it, it's a big deal, and you can't delay it, and don't let people get into it. Let the navy be a little restless, as long as the concoction is made, the world is at my disposal. Also, wait for my order in a few days, and I will give you great credit. ”

"Yes." Liu Shun gave a salute, took the drawings in Cheng Yue's hand, got off the boat and took another boat, and went back along the river.

There were already many merchant ships coming and going on the Yangtze River, especially now that it was during the war, there were the most grain ships, and the grain merchants made a lot of money.

Whether it was the Yuan Dynasty, the Song Dynasty or Dali, it was the time when the grain merchants were needed, so when the Yuan army saw the grain ship that Cheng Yue was on, they did not stop it, and they went on the ship to check and draw some taxes and let it go.

Cheng Yue has been moving upstream, and the place he is going to is Tanzhou.
