Chapter 81: Yongnu Island
This spy reported that although it is an island, there is no shortage of water on this island. There is a dense forest in the middle of the www.biquge.info island, and there is a small lake next to it, the water of the lake is crystal clear.
The rivers were overjoyed, and they were ordered to camp by the lake today. Although the island was not large, the carriage of the river traveled very slowly on the road, and by the time he reached the lake, it was already dark.
Some soldiers have already set up the camp tent, and the river marched into the camp tent, called Wu Han into the camp tent, and retreated left and right.
Wu Han picked the curtain and walked in, the lights were bright, and Jiang Hexing was bowing his head to write something. Wu Han announced, Jiang Hexing raised his head and asked him to sit across from him.
Wu Han sat down, and Jiang Hexing put down the pen and paper. looked at Wu Han and said, "Senior Commander Wu, can you investigate all of this Yongnu Island?" ”
Wu Han shook his head and said: "Hewang, although the island is not big, I just arrived today, the road is very unfamiliar, there are no roads at all in some places, and it will take two days to investigate clearly." ”
Jiang Hexing said: "That's also, there are two main things I asked you to come, one is to ask you about the survey of this island, and the key is whether there is enough water source." Second, I want to explain to you the tasks in the future. ”
Wu Han looked at Jiang Hexing's serious face, and did not dare to slack off. After walking two steps in a row, he walked to the front of the river and replied, "King He, there is no shortage of water on this island now." Now there is a lake next to our barracks, and according to the spies, there are two other small lakes in the southeast, which should be enough for us. ”
Jiang Hexing saw that he was a little restrained, smiled, and waved at Wu Han: "Wu Han, come here, sit here and say." As he spoke, he gestured in front of him.
Wu Han moved a chair and sat in front of Jiang Hexing.
Jiang Hexing said: "The two points I just said are actually connected, and there is enough water to bring more people to this island." I've given you the task of raising more people here.
Quanzhou is southwest of Yongnu, which is the focus of our future trade. So, what does Yongnu do? One is salt, drying salt, and hoarding salt. Second, train in private. Third, hoard military supplies for the future. In short, in a word, this is the logistics base of our future army, as well as our salt drying base. ”
Wu Han asked, "King He, how many centaurs do you plan to put on this island?" ”
Jiang Hedao: "This depends on whether the water source is sufficient, if the water source is sufficient, there will be less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and if more, there will be 30,000 soldiers and horses." ”
Wu Han immediately stood up, and saluted the river: "Xie and Wang trust, Wu Han will definitely live up to his mission." ”
Wu Han knew that the one who could be in charge of 10,000 soldiers and horses was the army commander, and his status was much higher all of a sudden. In addition, he has always had less military achievements, and he has always felt ashamed, but he didn't expect Jiang Hexing to trust him so much.
Jiang Hexing nodded and said, "If you do a good job here, it will be a great achievement in the future." Once there is a change in the future, I will hand it over to you in Youzhou and Jizhou. When Yongnu was training, he had to prepare to deal with Youzhou and Jizhou, understand? ”
The reason why Jiang Hexing put his hope on Wu Han, Wu Han had been selling horses in Yuyang County before, and he was very familiar with Yuyang County. Yuyang County belongs to the Youzhou Thorn History Department, and the Jizhou Thorn History Department is not far from here, so I will first give Wu Han a message. Let him prepare in advance, privately send people to communicate with important local people, understand the local city defense layout, and understand the local terrain.
Once the situation in the world changes greatly, there is a hidden elite army here, and it knows the enemy very well, and can quickly pacify Youzhou, Jizhou and other places.
Wu Han heard that Jiang Hexing had such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he had mixed feelings, and he couldn't wait to take out his heart immediately.
Wu Han immediately knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head, banging non-stop.
Jiang Hexing hurriedly stood up, walked in front of Wu Han in a few steps, picked up Wu Han, pulled him to his seat, and pressed him to the chair.
Jiang Hexing said: "Yongnu has tens of thousands of troops, it can't be too obvious, and it can't be discovered by Yuyang County. Do you have any good ideas? ”
Wu Han thought for a while and said: "Tens of thousands of troops, people eat horses and feed, and this consumption alone is incredible." It seems that this deserted island is not yet able to be cultivated, and all supplies must rely on Pingzhou. There were often ships to replenish them, and it was difficult to hide the whereabouts of the army. My suggestion is to divide this island into two, and select a part of the place for commercial use, preferably as a stock base. Our military can also put something in it, and it will not be conspicuous.
Also, there are not many of us here now, and even if they know about the new dynasty, it will not be a big problem, and if tens of thousands of troops are hoarded here in the future, I don't think it is appropriate. We can practice elite soldiers here, and each soldier will be required by the standard requirements of the squad leader, and if there are conditions in the future, the team will be directly expanded. With 5,000 elite soldiers here, in three months, the army can be expanded by 30,000 to 50,000. In addition, there are many people, and there are many war horses, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to raise so many war horses here.
Therefore, I suggest that troops can be stationed here, trained as officers, and trained in a targeted manner. For example, how to train troops, they are soldiers on the one hand, and future officers on the other, so we must teach them how to train and how to manage soldiers while training.
It is also necessary to conduct targeted drills for the terrain of Youzhou and Jizhou, the terrain and landform, the mountains and rivers of the city, and the situation of the people in various places to understand. It is necessary to be able to fight wars and stabilize order.
Also, since we are doing salt drying here, I suggest that we build a city in the southeast corner of the island, near the sea. This city is built by me, planned by me, built by me. The city was built to hoard salt and hoard all kinds of war materials. This city is not open to the outside world, and it should be built according to the characteristics of the city in Youzhou and Jizhou, so that the troops are familiar with the siege battle, how to break the city, how to defend the city, and use this city to achieve. ”
Jiang Hexing nodded and said, "You have so many ideas, I'm relieved." You can do it boldly. ”
Wu Han was very moved, and wanted to give a salute again, Jiang Hexing hurriedly stopped him, and told him how to cooperate with Chen Gang, and it would be impossible to transport troops in the future without the support of the water division.
The two talked until late, especially the arrangements for Yongnu Island, as well as what needs to be done to communicate with the surrounding states and counties, and the two discussed together until they talked thoroughly about all aspects of the situation.
The next day, Jiang Hexing and Wu Han surveyed the terrain on the island. Happily, there is a lot of water. Because there is no one living here, swamps, reed beaches, sandy beaches, hares, wild birds can be seen everywhere.
Jiang Hexing, together with Wu Han, was optimistic about the place where the city was built, and planned a beach for drying salt. The beach is huge, more than 10 times larger than on Phoenix Island.
After three days, Jiang Hexing basically finished explaining, Wu Han worked very hard, and Jiang Hexing also said his future plans, and he was also very hardworking. Jiang Hexing was relieved, left Wu Han in Yongnu, and went to Quanzhou by boat. (To be continued.) )
