Zhang Yue led his troops to leave Tokyo, and arrived at Zhongmu in Zhengzhou at noon the next day, and the soldiers were stationed in the camp for half a day to rest, while Zhang Yue took Feng Qianhou to the southwest of the county to see his four granges, with a total of more than 200 acres of fields, all of which were rented by tenants. The housekeeper of the family only needs to send someone to collect the rent in summer and autumn, which is a large income.

That is, to take a look at the way, you can change to other industries in the future, and then set off the next day to speed up the march, maintain forty miles a day, and occasionally train the troops to run forward, which can reach fifty or sixty miles, which is quite amazing, you must know that the marching speed of the army in this year is generally maintained at thirty miles a day.

The army's marching training is a very important subject, and in this era of backward transportation, most of the time the expedition is on the march, and the combat time accounts for less than half.

During the first half of his year in Tokyo, although he also participated in training, the overall quality of the soldiers was still much worse, and he walked quite quickly, but when he returned to Jincheng County in Yanzhou, it lasted more than half a month and nearly 20 days, and the time was already the sixth day of the first month of September.

On the way, I heard that Xue Juzheng, Dong Guangmai and others had returned south from Shuofang, and were currently in Yongxing Military City, preparing to return to Tokyo. In the afternoon when they arrived in the southern suburbs of Jincheng County, Han Sheng, Li Duojin, Xuan Chongwen, Li Chuyun, Zong Jingcheng, Xue Wenqian, and other staff and officers who were in charge of staying behind came to greet them. Zhang Yue didn't bring his family this time, and directly led his troops into the barracks.

After a short rest, he summoned his staff and commanding the first-class officers, a total of more than 20 people, to the Luoshui Restaurant in the city, and asked for a larger private room on the second floor to set up a banquet.

Several nearby houses were cleared by the pro-soldiers, guarding the intersection, and the wine and food had not yet come up, and everyone was talking to each other. Zhang Yue picked up the chopsticks and tapped the cups and plates, and everyone sat upright and looked at them together.

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now the eight commanders have gathered, a total of 4,300 people, and they are still stationed in Jincheng County, but they must step up their training. The southern part of Huiju is mountainous terrain, and there are large plains in the north, and this one has a detailed map and will be deployed before the war. There are more than 4,000 people in our army, and there are currently three, six, and eight battalions of cavalry, accounting for a small half of the whole army, and the proportion of war horses is not common in the forbidden army, so it is likely to be transferred to Shuofang and fight with Feng Jiye. However, the matter of combat is ever-changing, and it is very likely that we will encounter mountainous areas, so we should strengthen training in mountain operations, and the commanders and envoys of various battalions should also be mobilized. ”

"It's good to fight with Feng Jiye, the main opponent is the wild resignation party, where the terrain is flat, and the frontal battle is stable." Quan Daojin has been to Shuofang and can't help but smile and say.

"That's not necessarily, the Noji clan can't find allies, and besides, they will wait for the will of the DPRK and China to make corresponding deployments. Therefore, strengthening mistraining to respond to all bends is the best response at present. "Feng Qianhou is not very comfortable with military strategies, but he reacts quickly and is calm and calm.

Zhang Yue's face was solemn, and then said, "Not bad! At present, it is good to prepare for war, and the appointment of the officers should be handed in first, and everyone should remember it by themselves, and go back to the camp in the evening to find Mr. Feng to complete the formalities.

The third battalion is the envoy Xuan Chongwen, who was promoted to the official position, and was promoted to the deputy envoy of the commander of the front division of the palace, and temporarily led the platoon envoy; Zong Jingcheng of the first battalion was promoted to the rank of scattered member of the capital of Yuhou, and Xue Wenqian was promoted to deputy capital of Yuhou; Li Chuyun of the 7th Battalion was the military yatui, and he was also the deputy envoy of the platoon temporarily.

After returning to Tokyo, the above four people have been re-appointed, and they can take office by looking for Mr. Feng to collect them. Han Zhongming, the deputy envoy of the third command, was promoted to the fourth commander, and Zhang Congzhao was still the deputy; Hao Tianying, the head of the capital, was promoted to the deputy envoy of the third command, and the other officers remained unchanged.

In addition, with Li Duojin as the promoter, he pushed and prosecuted the prison lawsuit; Li Duoshou served as the inspector and assisted Han Sheng. The three of you stayed behind to inspect the office, responsible for the logistics of military supplies, delivered to the barracks, and received and returned to the warehouse by the chief and deputy governors, and the judges and military officials pushed for the record. ”

These were drafted on the way, Zhang Yue finished speaking in one breath, and everyone nodded again and again, so that the forbidden army of the headquarters and the inspection office were separated from each other, and there was basically no shortage of staff, and the structure was very clear.

Han Sheng said with a smile: "The military rations are stored in the warehouse in the west of the city, which was originally enough for our more than 4,000 soldiers to eat until next spring, but now I am afraid that we will have to ask for some from Suo Dashuai." ”

"This must be no problem, what are Zhang Quanxu and Liu Xiansheng doing, so that his winery can reduce the amount of food used and recover after the war. The construction of pastures and orchards continued, stallions were not bought, horse breeding was delayed, and the construction of stables was suspended, but the cattle shed could. After the official explanation, Zhang Yue remembered his own industry.

"The barn has been built, more than 150 cows, and the nearby herders have been hired to graze in the valley, and there are no stallions, so the stables have not started. Liu Xiansheng is in charge of the winery, Zhang Quanxu is in charge of the mess here, as well as the merchants of incoming and outgoing goods. I won't interfere with these now, you can find Zhang Quanxu for details. Han Sheng explained simply.

"That's it! Don't talk about that, we will start training tomorrow, and everyone will relax and relax tonight. Zhang Yue laughed, and the officers let go and began to chat with each other again.

The next day, Zhang Yue stayed in the barracks, mingled with the officers and soldiers, and personally presided over the training. The three commanders of the cavalry were presided over by Xuan Chongwen, and his riding skills were very good, but he was almost as good as archery, and he was not as good as Hao Tianying.

This guy is currently under Zhang Yue, except for Xuan Chongwen, the only cavalry general. Good marksmanship, on par with Xuan Chongwen, who is in full physical strength, slightly stronger than Zhang Yue, and the arrows are also accurate, Zhang Yue and the other four cavalry generals, archery is a grade worse.

Zhang Yue was not very proficient in cavalry training subjects, and when he was free from training, he presided over a meeting to discuss and work together. Let Xuan Chongwen and Hao Tianying draw up a "General Outline for the Training of the Ma Army", sort it out, and then order officers at all levels to copy it in the barracks at night, so that every officer at the rank of captain and above will have a copy, and finally there will be no shortage of soldiers.

It was fine for the cavalry to practice fighting under their horses and shooting on foot, but once the soldiers came out of the camp on horseback, the queue was lined up and occupied a large area. As soon as the horse team runs, it is even more unbelievable, the dust does not disperse all over the sky, and the suburbs are not big enough, and they are always spinning in place, and the war horses will be very unhappy, so they can only go to a place more than 30 miles north of the county seat to carry out field maneuver drills.

The training of cavalry, Zhang Yue only pays attention, occasionally goes to see, when interested, he will also practice with Xuan Chongwen and Hao Tianying, mainly to learn the art of foot archery and mounted archery. Hao Tianying has also gradually adapted to his current status and official position, and he gets along well with the officers, if there is nothing to do, this guy is still very easy to talk to.

The infantry of the five battalions were trained as sword and shield men, pikemen, jumpers, and archers, and every morning they pulled out of the battalion according to the formation, ran three kilometers, and gradually increased their mileage. After returning to the camp for breakfast, they were transferred from various commands according to their branches and gathered together to train them in collective combat coordination and actual combat skills. In the afternoon, he returned to the formation and trained individual combat skills. (To be continued.) )
