Chapter 285: The border town had to be torn down and restarted
Ordinary haggis, big white flour steamed buns, these down-to-earth foods, Zhu Changhao and others eat a mouth full of oil, besides, when the spring is cold, eating these things can also make the body warm, and the high heat of mutton is simply a pleasure in such weather.

Zhu Changhao and the others were eating haggis, but the people outside the street, who were still in the sheltered corner under the eaves, put their hands in their sleeves, looking at some dried beans or dried radishes in front of them in a daze. Maybe these dried beans and dried radishes in front of you are exchanged for copper and silver coins, and then you go to the rice store to exchange for a few catties of white flour with bran and millet, which is a delicacy.
After all, at a time like this, it is the season of spring and yellow, and even if you go to the field outside, you can't dig out anything that can fill your stomach.
Maybe there are carp and other aquatic products in the Yellow River in front of us, but who can go fishing or fishing?
General Military Office.
When he returned to the General Soldier's Mansion in the afternoon, Luo Qianqiu was already waiting in front of the door, and when he saw Zhu Changhao and others coming, he hurriedly leaned over to see.
After the etiquette was over, Zhu Changhao let him into the study. As a result, Luo Qianqiu brought a stack of papers, on which were the martial arts exercises of the border soldiers over the years.
Zhu Changhao looked at it roughly, and then threw the paper to Luo Qianqiu.
"Luo Zongbing, this king came to watch the martial arts exercise this time, these projects above you, you won't watch it alone, when you perform martial arts, this king will put forward some requirements by himself and let the border soldiers complete it. This thing on your paper is to fool those civilian officials who don't know about military affairs. The real battlefield, the fighter planes are changing rapidly, and the people who lead the troops must have a keen sense of smell, and they may be of some use to these military exercises you have set up, but at present, with the large-scale application of firearms in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, these projects, these projects, we must also take corresponding changes. ”
Zhu Changhao's bitter explanation also made Luo Qianqiu realize that with the arrival of the Northern Economic Envoy, after the nine sides, it is estimated that it will become hot, but it will also make people bleed and sacrifice, but the final result is a curse or a blessing, that still has to wait.
Luo Qianqiu, who left the palace, almost concentrated more than 12,000 border soldiers, and the food in the barracks, after the soldiers gathered, the food has also improved to a certain extent, and it is no longer two tons of porridge a day.
Big white flour cakes, millet porridge, and some mutton and other foods. After the soldiers ate the cakes, their waists could be straightened, and they drank a little mutton soup, which also made them feel a trace of life energy, and their faces naturally became rosy.
This may be the meaning of Luo Qianqiu's sharpening of his sword, but Zhu Changhao has no intention of being in a hurry, waiting for tomorrow's martial arts.
The day before the martial arts performance, Zhu Changhao was in the Governor's Mansion all day, he didn't go out at all, and he didn't have too much thought about the living conditions of the hungry people outside.
The night sky was torn apart by the morning sun, and today, Zhu Changhao was conducting a martial arts exercise on the tidal flats on the bank of the Yellow River.
On the twenty-mile tidal flat on the bank of the Yellow River, Luo Qianqiu had already set up the platform. Zhu Changhao once asked Liu Zheng to take out a clairvoyant mirror made of five sets of brass, and he was going to use this thing for today's martial arts exercise.
After the sound of the three drums, the border soldiers of Ningxia Wei rode thousands of war horses, but the war horses were skinny and seemed to fall in the next second. Looking at the weapons in their hands, most of them were holding long-handled knives, spears, short-handled long knives, waist knives, and various miscellaneous weapons such as palladium, horse forks, wolf swords, and so on. Looking at these various cold weapons, Zhu Changhao took a look again, how many firearms are there in this 10,000 people, probably more than 100 wing rockets, and more than 300 firearms, and the tiger squat cannon is about ten, the most important thing is that there is rust on it, and it is estimated that some of the barrels have been eaten by rust.
Once the rust eats through the barrel of the cannon, or the barrel of the firebolt, it becomes a weapon to kill your own people. The current Great Feat is filled not with projectiles, but also with sand, iron dust, and some metal scrap.
Once the gunpowder is ignited, these things are sprayed out from the rusty place, and it is basically hopeless, because the rusty iron dust, and some debris, will bring some viruses into your body, what tetanus, what bacilli, in this world without antibiotics, if you have these diseases, if you don't have a good doctor to save you, it is basically waiting for death.
Ordnance and equipment are not good, so let's look at the age of these border soldiers, sixty percent of them are over fifty years old, and in terms of physical strength and pace, there is basically not much combat power. There are about 10 percent, probably fifteen or sixteen-year-olds.
"My God, if they are all such border soldiers, pull out of the city to fight against the cavalry of Tumut, even if they form a military formation, they will also be broken through by the other side, once the cavalry breaks through the military formation of the foot soldiers, in the absence of firearms, it will be a one-sided massacre. Alas, this Ningxia Wei seems to be hopeless. ”
When Zhu Changhao saw this scene, he had already sentenced this border soldier to death in his heart, but the martial arts exercise still had to be carried out.
The border soldiers gathered under the general's platform, Zhu Changhao was dressed in military uniform, and said with a cold face, "Today, this king will gather all the soldiers here to perform martial arts, that is, to see the real situation of our Ningxia military town." Therefore, today's martial arts, everything will be done according to the requirements of this king. The most important thing is to do the order from the prohibition, maybe there will be deaths in the middle, but the number will not be too much, because I am waiting to see your actual combat drills, if someone unfortunately dies in battle, this king will give his family a full pension, everyone rest assured! ”
As soon as Zhu Changhao finished his words on the stage, the soldiers below were already stunned, how could they still die when they performed martial arts?
As soldiers, they are all fifty or sixty years old now, and if they say that they will die, there will not be too many people, and they are basically Mengren. How many people died is a small number? 10,000 people, 2,000 dead, that's not a lot, but it's a pity that I'm afraid that among these 2,000 people, there is myself!
Ignoring everyone's cold reactions, Zhu Changhao handed over this martial arts exercise directly to Sun Chuanting.
After Sun Chuanting came on the field, he didn't say much, "Follow the orders of the Northern Kingdom, the foot soldiers, and the cavalry obey the order, and run slowly five miles ahead!" ”
With the sound of a gong, the soldiers of this side ran like piglets out of the pigsty, and the team ran towards the front in a scattered manner. In less than half an hour, the soldiers who returned to the point general platform fell to the ground in all directions, gasping for air.
About five minutes after he fell to the ground, the drums began to beat again.
Sun Chuanting ran to the front again, "According to the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", or the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", all the soldiers will go three miles ahead. ”
This time, the artillerymen also pushed the tiger squat cannon on the ox cart and slowly moved forward.
It took about two quarters of an hour for the infantry artillery to arrive at the designated place, "Obey our military orders, more than 1,000 cavalry, march three miles to the east." All foot soldiers and artillerymen, musketeers, formed an army formation to defend themselves against the cavalry charge. ”
There was probably a cup of tea time, "The charge begins!" ”
The drums of the point general's platform were bursting, and the five-pay clairvoyant mirror was already in Luo Qianqiu's hands, and there was a deputy commander-in-chief, Zhu Changhao, Sun Chuanting, and Liu Zheng here.
The sound of horses' hooves on the hard river beach, from far to near, in the military formation there, some of the musketeers had already shot dozens of times before the cavalry arrived, because they were nervous.
There are also those gunners of the tiger squatting cannons, on the ox carts, also firing cannons, one of which exploded the bore, and one of the cannons, because it was eaten by rust, the iron filings and sand that rushed out of the barrel made three gunners die.
On the side of the military formation, before encountering the "enemy," the door was not red.
The cavalry who rushed into the formation were also shot and killed by those spears, tiger squatting cannons, and fire guns, and almost thirty cavalrymen, but at this time the military formation had already dispersed.
Because the army formation dispersed, the cavalry began to chase the foot soldiers to the north, and on the opposite point general's platform, the sound of gold sounded, and these cavalry, who had been suppressed for many years, did not even hear the sound of the gong, and were slashing the sabers in their hands towards the running foot soldiers.
Zhu Changhao looked at it and said to Sun Chuanting, "You go and lead the king's personal guards to stop it, those who are obsessed and still attack their own people, they will be treated directly as enemies, presumably the Yakexi war knife in the hands of this king's personal guard is rusty!" ”
Sun Chuanting led the eight hundred guards to rush out like a gust of wind, and in ten minutes, the cavalry who slashed their sabers above their heads in order to release the evil thoughts in their hearts were directly split in half.
This martial arts exercise lasted less than an hour, and such a thing happened, which scared Luo Qianqiu into a cold sweat.
In this drill, Ningxia Wei killed and injured a total of 576 people, looking at the wounded who were still moaning on the ground, this time let the soldiers come forward to treat them.
For the soldiers who died in this exercise, their families were given sixty silver dollars. For those cavalrymen who did not obey military orders, there was not a penny.
The martial arts exercise ended in this way, and Zhu Changhao decided to place the training location of Fu Zonglong, the chief soldier of the regimental training, in Ningxiawei. Because the top of Ningxia Wei is just the south of the Saiwai Jiangnan - the Hetao Plain.
Presumably, with the expansion of the scale of military training in the future, this Hetao Plain will eventually return to the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and deter and supervise the border troops of the two towns of Gansu Town and Guyuan Town.
At the summary meeting of the military exercise that night, Zhu Changhao, as the envoy of the Northern Kingdom, asked Luo Qianqiu to be the deputy chief soldier of the regiment training and assist Fu Zonglong in training troops here.
Zhu Changhao, who was depressed, led everyone to Guyuan Town to see what the situation of the border soldiers there was, but Zhu Changhao also knew that the situation in Guyuan Town was similar to that of Ningxia, but Zhu Changhao did not give up!
