"Puff"

As soon as Yang Yunnong crossed the threshold of Chen Xin's office, he knelt on the ground and walked all the way over.

Yang Yunnong knelt on the ground and said as he walked: "Lord Chen, Xiaguan thinks about it day and night, asks God and worships Buddha at home every day, and finally gets what he wants. ”

Chen Xin hurriedly helped him up and said, "Thanks to Commander Yang's intention, it seems that the gods and Buddhas of the heavens must have been moved by Lord Yang to let the official return safely." ”

Yang Yunnong heard his tone a little strange, and hurriedly changed his words: "The adults are serious, they are all the adults themselves who are blessed with the sky, in short, the adults are fine, and the lower officials are satisfied. ”

Chen Xin invited him to sit down, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "Weihai, Chengshan, and Jinghai are now one with the Wendeng camp, and Commander Yang can also be regarded as the person of my Wendeng camp." ”

Although Yang Yunnong is not in the flow of war, but the political consciousness is quite high, Chen Xin is now promoted several levels, Wendeng Ying has obtained the right to evaluate the performance of the three guards, it is clear that he is in charge now, so as soon as he received the news of Chen Xin's return, he first brought gifts and came to visit. The original subordinate changed to a superior, and his title was immediately changed, and there was no stiffness.

Yang Yunnong was full of approval, and after some flattery, he said seriously: "Lord Chen, the palm print commanders of Chengshan and Jinghai also came here a few days ago, and now they are still waiting in the Acropolis, and the villain will inform him that the two of them will come to meet the adults tomorrow." ”

Chen Xin said with a smile: "It's troublesome for Commander Yang over there, Lord Yang is enthusiastic about doing things." I heard that when I went on the expedition, I often came to Mazidun to inquire about the news, which can be seen. ”

Yang Yunnong coughed dryly, he thought that Chen Xin would definitely die, thinking about annexing Mazi Erdun, he also did a little more publicity, and now Chen Xin's tone is not good. Yang Yunnong was afraid that he would announce his personal vendetta.

"The lower officials are all here to see if there is anyone who can help, Lord Chen has entered the king of Jingqin, and he can't contribute. Do your best to help adults solve some worries, and the lower officials can still do it. In the future, where adults can use it, it must follow the wishes of adults. No compromises. ”

Chen Xin glanced at this fat man a few times, now this grade of guard officer has no threat to Chen Xin, he doesn't plan to waste too much time with this person, and said directly: "Then the official will thank Lord Yang for his support, there is also an important matter here, I have to tell Lord Yang first, the Wendeng battalion has a number of three thousand five soldiers, and the imperial court does not have that much salary, let my Wendeng camp clean up the wasteland of Wendeng, and there is no military field or civilian land in Wendeng County." We all know that Weihaiwei's fields are not fertilized or sown before June, they are all wasteland, and then we must ask Commander Yang and Wang Tongzhi to hand over them in person. ”

"It must be there. It must be there, and adults just need to let me know. Yang Yunnong didn't bargain at all, and promised to come down, Chen Xin only cleared the wasteland now, if he went to fight for it, then Chen Xinqiang asked them to spit out the hidden field. It's a big loss.

Yang Yunnong smiled flatteringly, "There are adults pointing out, our Weihaiwei will definitely get better and better, but adults don't just pay attention to the outside of the city, there are also so many soldiers and civilians in Weihai City, and you should also ask the adults to bother more, especially the business in the city is withering, yesterday there happened to be two tenants who quit the official shop, and they couldn't find a business for a while. ”

Chen Xin didn't refuse, anyway, Yang Yunnong came to give gifts, and the store must continue, since Yang Yunnong is so sensible, he will let him go if he invades Weihaiwei's hidden field.

"Well, it just so happens that someone on Mr. Liu's side wants to open a shop, just fill this gap, don't delay the livelihood of the people."

On the third day after returning to Weihai, the two led the soldiers and some people in Weihai to the cemetery to pay respects to the fallen soldiers. The ceremony has been customized, the officers at all levels of the Wendeng battalion and the management personnel of the civil affairs system have to carry the coffin, the memorial process is simple and solemn, and the army ranks to fire guns instead of firecrackers, making the funeral more military characteristics.

Weihai's martyrs' shrine is built next to the cemetery, funded by the civil administration, and the tunhu contributes to the construction, which is full of the spirit cards of the soldiers who died in this battle, and the incense smoke lingers inside, Liu Minyou specially hired some elderly military households, cleaning the cemetery and the martyrs' shrine every day, offering daily incense. Some family members worship inside every day, and lately they have been crying incessantly.

This time, King Qin lost a total of more than 500 people, accounting for 20% of the total establishment of the Wendeng battalion, especially the killer team suffered most casualties. Many of the Dongjiang soldiers who came to Weihai last year were especially heroic in battle, killing the most and suffering the most casualties.

Among the wounded, more than 70 people can not continue to serve, and more than 100 people who can return to the team after recovery, these wounded soldiers are precious resources, some of them will enter schools after training, and military training will be conducted for students over 10 years old, and the other part will enter the tunpu and take up the post of tunpu.

Liu Minyou also agreed with him on this point, because these wounded soldiers were disciplined and obedient, and they were good candidates for the cantonment commander when they took a crash course in literacy, and they also knew some military affairs and could assist the instructors in training. Without guaranteeing their power, the power of cultivating cattle, seeds, and land distribution in the tunpu were all in their hands, and with the current composition of the tunhu in the Wendeng camp, there was no clan power that could compete with them.

According to Chen Xin's plan, some veterans will be trained and then sent to various new tunpu to train peasant soldiers, the phalanx of peasant soldiers is a mixture of spears and firearms, mainly imitating the Gustav phalanx, and even smaller, more flexible mobilization, the depth is shallower than Maurice's Dutch phalanx, and the stability is not as good as the thick Spanish and Swiss phalanx, Gustav's solution is to have two rows of phalanxes in the front and rear, strengthen the company's artillery firepower, and then match a certain amount of cavalry.

The ability of the Swedish well-trained musketeers to rotate their reload shots as they advanced to cover the spearmen's attacks made Gustav's spearmen no longer a purely defensive force. However, the mobility of the phalanx was naturally insufficient, and it was still more important to defend than to attack. Without a highly mobile cavalry, it is impossible to achieve a decisive victory, especially in the face of a criminal gang like the Rogue and Jiannu, which is easy to defeat but difficult to annihilate.

Each fort consisted of ninety-six spearmen and ninety-six musketeers, in four or six rows deep, with an additional musket detachment of fifty men. Together with the commander, drummer, standard-bearer, trumpeter, and personal soldiers, a total of 250 people were organized into a company. This kind of establishment is more focused on firepower output, and Chen Xin plans to match it with the bronze cannon or tiger squat cannon used by the company in the future, and the frontal firepower will be very powerful. The spearmen will face an enemy that will be greatly weakened and stunned by firearms.

The training of musketeers is simpler than that of cold weapons, and the requirements for the use of firearms are not as high as those of cold weapons, and the single class of troops can quickly gather a huge army, and they can be used as regular troops for a period of time with artillery and cavalry for a short period of time.

If Wendeng can build 70 cantons, 30,000 households can piece together 15,000 basic soldiers. In peacetime, it can defend the locality, and in wartime, it can quickly replenish the losses of the soldiers. As long as the sea route is unobstructed, with such a force fighting on the inner line of Wendeng's dunker system, there is really no need to be afraid of anyone. As for the Wendeng Battle Barracks, Chen Xin intends to still use the current model. Auxiliary units have been added to improve mobility on land and at sea.

The first batch of veterans to be transferred are all at or above the rank of corps commander, and they will first be transferred to the training team, and they will first be tested in the dungeon fort in Weihai to explore the training methods and combat modes of the phalanx, and after forming regulations, they will be extended to other military cantonments in the Wendeng garrison. For the time being, the peasant soldiers are in the nature of a militia. However, they were a reserve for the later flintlock infantry, as the Gustav phalanx was closer to the line, so they could quickly adapt to the new flintlock tactics.

When preparing to transfer this group of veterans, Chen Xin suddenly found that there was no officer training institution, and the current training team instructors were all facing the training of new recruits, and it was obviously not appropriate to train officers, so he set aside a place in the Wei Navy Camp and held an officer training class. Therefore, Chen Xin plans to start with the officer training class and gradually improve it.

The first thing to solve is the teacher, who must have actual combat experience, and must be literate and able to express, Chen Xin couldn't find a suitable person after thinking about it, so he had to let these chief officers concurrently serve as the first officer, and let the army compile the teaching materials, he immediately recruited Dai Zhenggang, Wang Changfu, Dong Yu and others, and assigned them to write some tactical and logistics textbooks.

Dai Zhenggang and Wang Changfu are both big and coarse, although they can read and write now, but where have they written textbooks, they have no choice but to be forced by Chen Xin to be tight, as a combat task arrangement, they have to go to the subordinate general, Bai Zong to find a way to come up with ideas, and then find the training officer of the headquarters to polish, a group of officers every night to fight at night, write out a part, handed over to Chen Xin after the initial review was all beaten back and rewritten, the reason is that there are too many plagiarized combat regulations, not suitable for officer training, Chen Xin's requirements for them are to summarize some command principles from actual combat, Professors are given to officers who are to be promoted later.

When Dai Zhenggang and Wang Changfu grabbed their heads, Chen Xin did not let go of Zhu Guobin and others in Tianjin, and he also reserved topics for these chief officials, Lu Chuanzong's first part was excellent in Luanzhou, and the teaching materials arranged for him were urban street battles, and Zhu Guobin was infantry and cavalry coordination and cavalry pursuit.

At the end of June, there was another small wave of refugees in Dongjiang, and after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong last year, he had a break with the emperor and asked Dengzhou to replenish the Dongjiang military rations, and said that Dongjiang had been hungry for eight months, hoping to be faster. After the first batch of grain arrived, the bad situation of the Dongjiang River was slightly alleviated, but the consequence of the food shortage in August was that most of the Dongjiang soldiers had no combat effectiveness, before the Jiannu entered the Kou, Lord Yuan suddenly reduced the number of troops in the Dongjiang River to 18,000, and at that time Liaodong had been frozen, and the islands of the Dongjiang River did not know, and the imperial court was busy dealing with the Battle of the Four Cities after the beginning of the year, and the Dongjiang River was selectively forgotten, and the islands of Dongjiang Town were once again out of food, and under the hunger and cold, the island soldiers could no longer talk about loyalty to the imperial court, plus Liu Xingzhi rebelled, People fled from the coast of Liaodong and the islands of the Dongjiang River, because the reputation of Wendeng Camp had spread to Dongjiang Town, and Weihai became their first choice.

Mao Wenlong's painstaking Dongjiang Town fell apart, and its strength was less than half of the peak, Liang Tingdong planned to move the entire Dongjiang River to Guanning or Jizhen, but was refuted by Sun Chengzong, and calculated an account for the emperor, calculated the time of relocation, at least two or three years, the resettlement fee was even more amazing, Liang Tingdong had to dispel this idea, and someone also built a yì to let Wendeng camp move the town, but it was also refuted by Wen Tiren with similar reasons.

Due to the problem of major policies, the Dongjiang River had a famine again, Weihai still traded with them in the name of merchants as usual, exchanging grain for people, and there were some people from the original Dongjiang who accompanied the boat, and talked about the situation in Weihai, the islanders of the islands scrambled to be the first, and many people who were not selected stole the boat and fled to Weihai by themselves, although the island generals were dissatisfied, they had nothing to exchange, and the new general soldiers did not come, so they had to watch Weihai keep digging corners.

Wang Zugui and Qin Lufang began to recruit sailors among the refugees and the surrounding fishermen, Chen Xin still knows nothing about the sailor, and the level of the water camp around Liaohai is very low, including the later famous Shang Kexi, but he is a tall man among the short, so Chen Xin's positioning of the sailor division is mainly based on transportation for the time being, more like an armed merchant ship, except for the military salary and personnel, the others are determined by these two people.

Liu Minyou is also busy with civil affairs, he has enough manpower, and his deputies are all in Weihai, which is more smooth than Chen Xin's affairs. In the midst of the busyness, it was soon July.
