Since the Battle of Dark Island, the people of Dengzhou have almost taken a 180-degree turn in their views on the Shenji Battalion, and from time to time there will be businessmen from Dengzhou who go to visit Yurou and Li Guangzhong's command mansion, and there are people who send clothes, money, and food, and the house of the command embassy and the Ling family of the Dengzhou Guard, which was originally very cold, will often be visited, and no one will go to the command embassy to say anything about disturbing the people of the Shenji Battalion.

I have always lived in the station of the Shenji Battalion, not because it is a training need, but because I want to avoid the Ling sisters, I seem to have developed an unusual feeling for this sister, I have to try to understand this feeling as much as possible as the kind of emotion of ordinary friendship, so as not to get involved in a state of inseparability in this era, you must know that if there is a convulsion that day, I will return to the modern era, then I will have to bear double the loneliness and pain.

Although I said that, the more I didn't want to think about it, the easier it was to think that it was nothing to usually be in the barracks with Reska, but at night, when I was about to fall asleep, there were many scenes in my mind, and Yurou and Yuruo's faces would appear in front of me one by one.

It's been almost half a month! I finally couldn't help but roll over and sit up from that hard bed, it's been about half a month since the Ling family returned to the barracks! I usually didn't feel anything at all in the barracks for half a month, but this time, my heart was a mess, and I couldn't calm down no matter what.

Anyway, if the rain didn't come to the Shenji camp again in the past half a month, she came once on the day I came, but she never came after that, and when I was usually in the barracks, I often heard this little girl chattering around, and it was suddenly so quiet, I really couldn't stand it, and I don't know what this little girl is doing at home now?

Oops, what was I thinking? What was I thinking? I slammed my hand on my head twice, saying that I didn't want to think about it anymore, and I was still thinking here, what am I? Is it cheap? I let out a long sigh and lay on my back on my cot.

Or think about something else?

Since the Shenji Battalion has gone through the Battle of the Dark Island, its self-confidence has become more and more high, you must know that in the past, to deal with this kind of Japanese Bandits, the Weisuo Army had to pay at least several times more than the other party to win, and sometimes it was even impossible to win, but this battle was beyond the expectations of all the soldiers, and the overwhelming advantage made the Japanese Bandits have no power to fight back, and the first and second battalions that participated in the battle told their combat experience to the other soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and everyone was very happy, and they worked harder in training. Especially the gunners of the artillery regiment, they doubled the amount of training, and although they were eventually banned by me and Reska because they were too overloaded, they already felt their weight and their strength.

It should be said that these 4,000 people are very combat-effective troops, unlike some of the guards I saw, not like the Ming soldiers I read about in the history books, they are brave, good at fighting, and not afraid of death, this is the basis of a strong army, if you are like those guards who have no pursuit, you give him the Gundam and he can't exert his combat effectiveness, but in the dark island I saw their fearlessness, advancing under artillery fire, in a neat formation, and with clear orders, so it was not so much that I won the battle, It was their courage to win that battle.

Since I came back, I asked Lao Wan to personally bring people to various guards to recruit new recruits to form a new spear regiment and train them, and the rest were slowly recruited from Dengzhou, and the whole training lasted for more than half a month, and finally gathered two battalions of troops, which were allocated to the first regiment and the second regiment for combat training in new formations, according to my assumption, the spear regiment is different from the musket regiment, this regiment has a total of four battalions, according to the current statement, it is the so-called reinforced regiment, and when fighting, each musket regiment will be covered by a spear battalion, that is, in addition to the three platoons of a battalion, there will be an additional platoon of spear units to provide close protection.

As for the construction of the cavalry regiment, it is troublesome, first of all, the problem of personnel and horses, although Li Guangzhong transferred a battalion of personnel from the Guanliao Iron Cavalry in his hands to let me organize the first battalion, hoping that I will use this as the basis to train the next cavalry regiment, but it is too troublesome to train the cavalry, first of all, it is very troublesome to find someone who can ride a horse, and secondly, the horses are too expensive, although Yurou has tried to obtain very strong Mongolian horses from the border and the Mongolian trade market through various means, but it is far from quenching the thirst of the near. The first batch of 500 Mongolian horses as war horses ordered by Yurou will not be delivered until a month later, and the horses I have now in my hands are only about eight to nine hundred horses except for the first battalion of the first regiment, and it is not enough to make a reserve for those 500 Mongolian war horses.

Counting the maintenance of horses, forage, etc., etc., I am in front of me is a white flower of silver two flying in front of me, I can be regarded as understanding why the ancient Central Plains Dynasty will not maintain a huge heavy standing cavalry, the cost of training and maintaining cavalry is too high, and the cost of nomads to maintain cavalry is relatively much cheaper, people just live immediately, and have a vast pasture, there is no need to find a special person to raise horses, let alone configure pasture, let alone training.

Of course, it is only relative, whether it is the Central Plains Dynasty or the nomads, maintaining the heavy cavalry requires a lot of resources and funds, but the nomads have an advantage in horse production and personnel.

Seriously, enough money to train one cavalry regiment is enough for me to train two musket regiments. Although Yurou is very rich, but considering the cooperation of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce that is about to come, Resca and I are not willing to add any financial burden to this little girl, which is also for the long-term plan, because according to Yurou's plan, the share of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce is calculated according to the shares of both parties, and if you don't spend money now, you can make more money in the future.

But the reality is cruel, I can't even organize a battalion without money, but fortunately, the little salary that Li Guangzhong picked up from the military department can barely be maintained, otherwise my cavalry regiment plan is estimated to have to be delayed.

Although I said that, but now in addition to the first battalion, I am only barely enough to make up the number of the second battalion, but judging from the training situation, these people want to catch up with the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, it is still very early, especially the charge training after the three-eyed fire system is launched immediately, this group of people is simply difficult to master, I want to use high-intensity training to make up for the lack of training of these people, but the problem is that if the training intensity increases, the people in heavy armor can stand it, but the horses in heavy armor can't stand it.

For half a month, this group of cavalry did not have any combat effectiveness at all, and the anxious training officers were about to go crazy, originally I wanted to organize two cavalry regiments, but now that I think about it, I am thankful for having a cavalry regiment.

Therefore, if you want to become a qualified soldier, it is really not a very simple thing, although we did win the battle on the dark island, but after all, the scale of that battle is not large, our side not only has a military advantage but also a technical advantage, if it is a battle of tens of thousands of people, then the situation will be very different.

Fortunately, I can read books, so I moved all kinds of military books, combined with many combat examples I have seen in modern times, and studied them, hoping to improve some of my command skills.

Don't think about it! I turned over, because in my mind there was another earth-shattering decisive battle in the history books, and this decisive battle was still a year away from the era I am in, and this decisive battle was so close to me, I only hope that it will not involve me, because in this decisive battle, there will be 60,000 Ming troops and countless famous generals buried there, and I don't want me and my men to become victims of that decisive battle.

Salhu, Salhu! The three words that appeared in my mind kept swirling in my mind, yes, in the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army that had the advantage was wiped out because of the wrong tactics of dividing and attacking together, and the original strength advantage was wiped out by Houjin Nurhachi. In this battle, more than 300 officers of the Ming army were killed, including Liu Ling, a famous general who fought fiercely with Japan in Korea-Xian, and more than 60,000 soldiers and generals were killed in battle. This was the last large-scale military operation in the Wanli period, and it was also the most tragic military operation. From then on, the disastrous Ming Empire could only take defensive measures in Liaodong, while Nurhachi and his successors continued to beat the stormy Ming Empire until his final collapse.

Speaking of which, Yang Hao, the direct creator of this fiasco, should now be the left squire of the military department, and logically speaking, he is still the boss of me and Li Guangzhong, but I don't know if I can see what this commander who sent countless Ming soldiers to death is like.

Distraught, I'm now a deputy commander of Dengzhou Guard, so I shouldn't have anything to do with that big war, right? I don't want it to matter, I'm annoyed right now, but I'm not the one who jumped into it knowing it was a death trap!

It's better to be less cranky! Hurry up and go to bed! I turned over vigorously, and put the thin silk quilt on my head, which was sent by Xiao Yu a few days ago, she usually came to the barracks every ten days to help me change the quilt, every time I changed the quilt, there was always a fragrance in the quilt.

"General Qi, the girl outside the camp asks to see you!"

At that moment, the voice of the herald sounded outside the door.

Your sister, when is this? This little girl doesn't sleep at home, what is running around! I immediately turned over and got up, this little girl, running around alone so late, everyone is not worried! I ran out barefoot in a huff, this dead girl, I have to teach her a lesson today.
