Three days was enough time for the five battalions outside the city and the cavalry troops of Seng Lingqin, sorted out an approximate shoe and hat size, and sent these to the Yang family steward in the northwest and Zhiluyu, and handed over these tasks to the people in the northwest and Zhiluyu.

Although a month is not a long time, but for the people of five or six provinces, it is more than enough to get more than one million sets of gloves, cotton shoes, hoods, and cloth socks, as long as there is no delay on the road, a month later, the 600,000 troops outside the Beijing division will have a batch of belated winter materials, although it is a little late, but the end of the year is the coldest time, at this time to start a war, these materials are still very useful.

Three days is enough time for Wei Huozi to organize a military exercise, bringing Yu Biao who hurried from Jiangnan, and Yang Meng also took the men and horses and went straight to the Jiangnan militia of five boats.

"Third master, Jiangnan's military affairs, it's okay to hand them over to Ding Taichen, right?"

Yu Biao was hurriedly transferred to Beijing, and Yang Meng wanted him to also participate in the upcoming war, but Yu Biao was still a little worried about the military affairs in Jiangnan.

"It doesn't matter! Maybe Taichen has nothing to show for himself in the local war, but he has enough ability to control the overall situation of Jiangnan, and there is basically no big war in Jiangnan after that, except for Dinghai, the British and French forces should not attack other commercial ports or sea areas.

They are different from us, the British and French forces need to take into account the balance of power in Europe and the international situation, and the containment of Germany and the United States seems to be sufficient now, you and the camel, as well as Shi Dakai in Jiangnan, the main purpose is to learn how to fight.

Most of the training of the new army is still on paper, and this time Lao Tzu planned the Beijing-Tianjin battle. Even if it is a test and training of the new army. It is also a great opportunity for us to test the combat power of Europe.

If it is available to the new army. Europe is not strong enough to fight, so we should fight back in this war, and let them also taste what it is like to be in dire straits!

If we are defeated, we will have no future, and if we are undefeated and invincible, it means that the new army still needs to be tempered, and it also means that the war will continue for a long time. Now the best result for us is to win, but the world is impermanent, no one can say for sure whether we win or lose, and the next Beijing and Tianjin are the boundaries of life! ”

The weather was not very good, the dark clouds were gloomy and the wind was angry, even if he was wearing a mink fur, Yang Meng could still feel the biting cold, and he was not adapted to the cold in the north. It's not just the militia that almost wraps itself into a fur ball. Yang Meng still felt cold.

"Got it! The third master looked for such a weather, but he wanted to see how the combat power and adaptability of Wei Huozi's people were? ”

nodded, Yu Biao also had a heavy face, the third master's gamble this time was a bit big, the previous Anglo-French alliance was almost forty or fifty thousand, and the upcoming one might be more than 100,000, maybe more than 200,000, whether he could stop these foreign devils, although Yu Biao was confident, he was not completely sure.

"It's just just catching up, this day was set before, who the knew it was so cold to walk in the wind! If it is possible, Lao Tzu would like to choose a good weather with a mild sunshine! ”

Spit out a breath of mist, Yang Meng was also a little helpless, he had stayed too long in the warm house of the southwest, Jiangnan and Jingshi, he was obviously a little uncomfortable with the cold in the north, it seemed that it was time to sharpen and sharpen himself, this year, the battle situation is not easy to predict, who knows if he will run away?

"Huh...... What ...... said"

Yu Biao smiled lightly, but the expression on his face was still calm, the third master's words were good! But the start of the war is unsatisfactory, not only is the third master not adapted to the weather in the north, but Yu Biao is the same, from the hot Jiangnan to the cold north, he has been trembling for more than two days.

The people and horses of the Yang family, except for the Tibetan army, I am afraid that many people can't adapt to it, such a cold, this is a big drain on combat power, and the fingers are so cold that they are wooden, how can they still carry knives and guns?

Facing the cold wind of winter, after walking for more than an hour, Yang Meng's men and horses arrived in Wei Huozi's army, and did not enter the camp with charcoal basins.

"Master, the weather is not good, why don't you go to the camp to drink some wine to warm up?"

Unlike Yang Meng and Yu Biao, Wei Huozi stayed in Tibet, the cold in the north is a little pediatric compared to Tibet, looking at the third master with fur, and Yu Biao with a blue face, Wei Huozi thinks that today's big event is to make the third master warm and warm.

"Damn! It's a cold day! But it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since you have bumped into it, let's watch the drill!

We can choose any day for the show, but we can't fight a war! When this battle starts, the cold wind roars, maybe it's still a good day!

It's been nearly three months, and there has been no snow in the suburbs of Beijing, and I'm afraid there will be heavy snow before and after this year! And this year before and after the year is almost the time for war, this cold is nothing compared to leaning in the snow day and night.

General Camel, what are you going to show us? ”

Since calling Jingshi, Yang Meng is also meeting Wei Huozi for the first time, too busy! Many things can only be connected with military orders, looking at Wei Camel, Yang Meng is also somewhat envious, this cold day is in the cold wind, wearing only a thick robe, looking at his dark face, thick muscles and bones, Yang Meng knows that over the years, this camel has not practiced himself.

"It's done! Since you want to watch the drill, let's start with a gun! It looks more lively, it's a little hot, maybe it's not cold! ”

Although it is a joke, shooting guns is indeed the key to testing whether the new army is good or not, and no matter how well other things are trained, if they can't shoot accurately, everything will be in vain.

"That's right! Basic training, let's go, let's go see? ”

"It's done! The boys are ready. ”

When he arrived at the school yard of Wei Huozi's camp, Yang Meng did not let Wei Huozi order the drill at the first time, and after he circled around the group of new soldiers who were ready to shoot a few times, he found Yu Biao and whispered a few words.

"Third master, this ......"

"That's it, camel, arrange for someone to listen to Yu Biao's orders, it's not interesting to act like this, Lao Tzu will add some material to you!

Come on, come on, Lao Tzu will also be a small soldier under your camel general today, let's go to the school field together. Try? ”

After a few movements of the muscles. Yang Meng took off the heavy mink fur on his body. took off the fur hat to cover the wind, revealing a modified short python inside, and it was hot, and after a few quick routines on the school field, the cold wind was not as cold as before.

"Master, you take it easy, this day the water is dripping into ice, this is taking off the fur. Still not cold? ”

Seeing that the third master threw off his fur, Wei Huozi was frightened, and it seemed that there was something in his camp that made the third master dissatisfied.

"Noise! There is no distinction between this and this in the war, so it should be regarded as a military order! Walk! ”

Yang Meng pulled Wei Huozi and circled around the new army that was ready to shoot, Wei Huozi also found something wrong, these new troops were all warmed up, full of heat, and it was more conspicuous in the near distance, which warmed up in advance. But it's a bit of a fool.

"Choose another sentry and let them take off their cotton clothes. Get ready for a test launch! ”

After the warm-up, can you see how capable the new army is? Fighting a war is not training, you can participate in the war with warm hands and feet, perhaps, the first battle is a night attack!

After spending hours in the cold night, my braids were frozen straight, not to mention my fingers.

Under Yang Meng's assignment, a group of new soldiers whose hands and faces were red from the cold replaced the hot men and horses, and without waiting for Wei Huozi's order, Yu Biao took people and changed the guns for the new army.

"General Camel, is it time to start?"

Yang Meng also took over a Delaisai from Yu Biao's hands, this Wei Camel's battalion of men and horses, all of them are paper shell Delaisai, there is a big difference between having a bolt and not having a bolt, Yang Meng's first stumbling block was put on the bolt for Wei Camel.

"Let's go!"

After Yang Meng's order, Wei Huozi waved his hand and motioned for the new men and horses to shoot, but his order went down, but the men and horses of the new army did not move, and they were pulling bolts one by one!

This is the problem that Yang Meng just turned around and saw, Wei Huozi's men and horses, the maintenance of the gun has been a little excessive, and the bolt of the gun has been wiped blue, which looks clean, but it is actually a big problem.

"General Camel, this bolt is frozen, what are you doing with the foreign devils coming up?"

The people and horses below were struggling against the bolt of the gun one by one, and Wei Huozi was stunned at once, at this time, Yang Meng was also constantly adding oil and vinegar, such training is common in sand table deduction.

"Get on the bayonet! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat! ”

Although I don't know what the reason is, Wei Huozi knows that this is the third master's own ability in the school! glared at Yu Biao, who was drugged, although he was a little dazed, Wei Huozi did not hesitate, and directly gave the order to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

"General Camel, this bayonet can't be pulled out! The foreign devils are still more than 300 steps away from us, what should we do? ”

The guns and bayonets came up together, and Yu Biao didn't do anything else, but according to Yang Meng's instructions, he added some water to the bolt and the scabbard of the bayonet.

The cold water splashed on the bolt, and it froze in the blink of an eye, and the bolt was also a tight object, although there was not much water splashed, but it was not so easy to pull it away.

In this exercise, Yang Meng's test is Wei Camel's strain, these things can't be practiced in training, there are many small problems on the battlefield, and they can still be used as training subjects?

"Get some oil and start a fire!"

Yang Meng asked a question, Wei Huozi also looked at the bolt of the gun, and saw that it was frozen, and Wei Huozi also came up with his own means.

Just when the new army was about to make a fire, Yang Meng knocked out the matches in their hands one by one.

"General Camel, what should we do if we don't have a fire in our hands?"

"Take off your clothes and put the bolt in the squeak!"

"Hey, hey! General Camel, we have an idea here, this paper shell medicine and primer can bake the bolt! ”

"That's it!"

Yang Meng continued to increase the difficulties for Wei Huozi, and also gave him an idea, with Wei Huozi's order, a sentinel of the new army also began to take out their own paper shell bullets and began to pour granules on the bolt.

"Stupid! It's stained with spit, and ten is not enough to sprinkle like this! ”

Looking at the soldiers of the New Army, using their clumsy fingers that were frozen, tearing apart the paper shells one by one, Yang Meng also came up with an idea on the side, pressed the primer on the bolt, and hit it fiercely, and in a puff of smoke, the frozen bolt could be opened.

After the soldiers of the new army simply cleaned the chamber of the gun with their hands, loaded it with paper shells, and began to shoot, although the time was not long, but the new army had been a little stiff with cold hands and feet before, and after taking off the cotton robe, the arms were numb in a short time.

Eighty or so people shot together, none of the targets 50 paces away hit, 50 paces, 75 meters away, for the range of the paper shell Dresser, these 75 meters are only a quarter or one-sixth, 75 meters is the distance that soldiers can shoot accurately, none of them hit the target, this level ......

"General Camel, what should I do if my fingers are frozen?"

"Find someone to fight!"

Wei Huozi's strain was okay, and after driving Dressey onto the shoulders of the robe, the men and horses of the new army regained the accuracy of their shooting, and more than forty people, basically hit the position near the bull's-eye.

With the power of Dresser's large-caliber buckshot, if this is replaced, it will be properly hopeless.

"General Camel, the idle man, can you reload the bullet?"

The shooting did not stop, and Wei Huozi's order was also omissionary, Yang Meng pointed out, and Wei Huozi made corrections, but the head of the first general of the new army was also sweating, and he originally thought that the elite and abnormal new army, the third master turned them into waste in a few words, if such a situation is encountered on the battlefield, it will be a big trouble!
