Under the rule of the Yang family, there are only two kinds of people who can eat well openly, one is the reader, which refers to the dolls in the Yang family's school and the students of Xishan and Minghu; This second is the new army and the people of Wuzhuang.

Other people, including workers in major factories and mines, and ordinary people farming in various localities, mostly rely on stored and stale grain in terms of grain supply.

Food supply, the Yang family is not open, to ensure that the people under the rule do not starve to death is the premise, reserve grain will not be used lightly, when the food is not enough, except for the scholars and the new army, everyone else must be rationed with certain substitutes, such as wild vegetables, leaves, etc.

Although there are almost no starving people in Yunnan-Guichuan now, there are still a large number of people who are eating vegetables, but even so, the three provinces of Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan are also the identity of the richest food supply.

Although the food of the new army is coarse food such as cornmeal nests, it is full, and there are some bone broth, porridge and other meals, and this kind of treatment is very good even in Beijing.

Milliken's corn is very good, suitable for planting in many places in the Qing Dynasty, and cornmeal is almost as hungry as white flour, which is much stronger than in the north before, eating vegetable gang, sugar beet, sorghum rice gnocchi soup, how much vegetable gang eats, sugar beet ordinary people can't eat, sorghum rice gnocchi soup is the ration of the middle and upper people, these are much worse than the real cornmeal nest.

Eat vegetables to help five meals a day, but also look back and be hungry, eat cornmeal nest, two meals a day, can withstand it!

Ate five nests in a wounded camp. After drinking two bowls of broth. Yang Meng also hiccuped beautifully. If someone else doesn't eat or drink and freezes for a day, that's all there is to it! After the broth is in the stomach, the whole body is warm and comfortable!

"Master, can you get used to eating?"

Wei Huozi's head was a little sweaty, and he got a large table of meat and vegetables, but the third master ran to the wounded barracks, and the food in this camp was better except for the officers. Everyone else is the same, and it's not nice to talk about it!

"Camel, are you still used to eating this cornmeal nest? In Yunnan, this is a good thing! ”

didn't answer Wei Huozi's question, Yang Meng just asked rhetorically, when Wei Huozi was a knife hand in Yang's house, he ate cornmeal nests for a while! At that time, it was for the vast majority of people in Yunnan to eat this. They are all extremely happy.

"Eat it! According to the teachings of the Lord, a month. The camel shall eat in a big pot for twenty days in the barracks. ”

"You're good, you've had a hard life, what about the officers? In the future, in this military camp, those who do not do strength training and do not enter the school field for drills will be one nest at a time!

It's good to be hungry! Save their tails up!

Look at this hour, the whole battalion is almost ready, give you a quarter of an hour, the whole army is in line, and before going to sleep, stand for two quarters of an hour! ”

Wearing the cotton robe of the army, revealing his oily head, he walked a few steps in the camp, and the little hot breath he had just eaten was blown away by the cold wind that called for it.

What would it be like to be curled up in the field without cover if there was a war in the future? It seems that the conditions in the camp are somewhat superior, but I am afraid that the new army will be comfortable and accustomed to the suffering of the wilderness!

Every time he took a step, Yang Meng had more questions in his heart, the big war was coming, and Yang Meng, as the commander-in-chief, was also a little nervous!

With Wei Huozi's order, more than 100,000 people in the whole camp were placed in the camp within a radius of several miles, the cold wind of this night, even more cold, similar to Yang Meng, came out for a quarter of an hour, just ate the hot air in the stomach was blown away by the wind, although wearing cotton robes, but there was no cotton hat and cotton shoes, in the cold wind, staying for a quarter of an hour is a sin, this quarter of an hour is enough to freeze you stiff.

"Master, two quarters of an hour is here!"

"Hmmm! Let's disperse! Sleep, let's go on patrol! ”

Although he changed the cotton robe in the army, Yang Meng's feet were still wearing riding boots, which did not feel anything indoors, and when he stepped on the hard frozen soil in the north, he became not so thick, even if he was constantly walking, Yang Meng still felt that his toes were a little wooden, and his hands did not dare to stretch out of his sleeves.

"Camel, you have to be prepared for the next war, Lao Tzu feels that it will not be good if half of the 100,000 new army can come down after the first battle!"

"Master, is the British and French alliance really so powerful?"

"It's not very powerful, I don't know, but the previous Anglo-French coalition army, the advance and retreat are extremely strict, this is the inheritance, after all, the British and French powers are veterans of firearms warfare for nearly a hundred years, for such a war, they are much more familiar than us!

Moreover, in this war, there are also old Maozi from the north to participate, and that group of people is a polar bear who is not afraid of the cold! Put it right with Lao Maozi in the cold night, even if there are winter materials in the future, we will not have an advantage in the sky!

This battle is a tough battle, as the commander of the army, you must have the consciousness of exchanging life for life!

Lao Tzu tried his best to ensure that our soldiers would not die in terms of materials! In terms of the means of war, Lao Tzu basically told you all the problems that can be found today, and the next success or failure, there is nothing to do with Lao Tzu, it depends on your Wei Huozi's ability. ”

Between the generals and commanders, if there is also some confession, Yang Meng is optimistic about the overall situation of the war, but for the initial battle situation, Yang Meng is also not optimistic, although it is to defend the territory, although there is a backer behind it, but it is not a strong dragon but not the river, not to mention a strong dragon across the sea?

In terms of soldiers and tactics, Yang Meng did not dare to admit that his skills were superior, an era has an era of tactics, in this era, Britain and France are undoubtedly the pinnacle countries on the battlefield, Yang Meng's new army trained by Yang Meng, although it is superior in the concept of war, but whether it is superior in technology, this still needs actual combat and time to test and sharpen.

If you can train casually for a few years, you will not be able to train the world's strongest army, then there will not be so many countries in the world that have been invaded.

"Master, it's not like we haven't fought this Anglo-French coalition, it's not too strong! Except for the artillery battle at Bali Bridge, which was a little stronger. If you change the Tibetan army, go up. The Anglo-French alliance is not necessarily our opponent! ”

For war. Wei Huozi also has his own opinions, he is not the first to fight the Anglo-French coalition, but he is the first to start a large-scale war with the Anglo-French coalition army, and he is not frightened by the Anglo-French coalition army!

"The battle of Bali Bridge was fought with reaction speed, and our number far exceeded that of the British and French forces, plus the delay of Seng Lingqin and Su Shun. We have an absolute advantage!

Bali Bridge is also a rapid battle, this short confrontation, our new army is no worse than the British and French coalition army, and even surpassed, but what about a long battle? What about the resilience of the military?

For us, the enduring combat capability and resilience of the new army are unknown, and these things need to be tested by war, what if the endurance and resilience of the new army are insufficient? That long battle will bring down the new army.

It's about the same time. It's time to wake up at night, half an hour tonight. Let the new army get up once, stand for two quarters of an hour and then go to sleep! In the early hours of the morning, find two teams and try their accuracy and reaction speed.

In the next twenty days, just do it, and when the war starts in the future, I am afraid that the army will have to stay in the field day and night! ”

The resilience of the army is an elusive thing, this thing Yang Meng has seen in the Taiping Army, and he has also seen it in the Anglo-French Army, but the officers and troops of the Qing Dynasty do not have this kind of resilience, whether their own new army has it, Yang Meng dare not say, this thing can only be tested through guò actual combat, tossing the new army, Yang Meng just wants them to adapt to the battlefield in advance.

"Got it!"

Wei Huozi's answer was surprisingly concise, and the pressure of the third master really pressed on his shoulders, and it was a little more heavy than he imagined.

"It's good to know! When the war starts, others can go to the front line, but you Wei Huozi can't do it, you are the right-hand man of the master, your life and death are not in your hands now, Lao Tzu let you die, you can die!

Don't die for twenty years! There are too many places where Lao Tzu has to rely on you Wei Huozi! Too much! ”

Ding Taichen, Qin Ziqi, Sun Boqing, Wei Huozi, these four people plus half of Yu Biao, is Yang Meng's real reliance, from the inside to the outside, with these four and a half people, Yang Meng can control the Yang family lightly, as long as they are five and a half people, standing together for twenty or thirty years, Yang Meng has the confidence to create a great cause.

"Got it!"

After a night of tossing, the new army was a little resentful, but knowing that this was Yang Sanye's test, many people still had a smile on their faces, this kind of feeling spoiled Yang Meng's good deeds, people live by their hearts, and the new army tossed all night, relying on this spirit, they scored good results on the shooting range, and Yang Meng could only shrug his shoulders and express his helplessness.

The next day, Yang Meng left Wei Huozi's camp and began to inspect the infantry of the five battalions in the suburbs of Beijing.

The cavalry battalion of the new group is also the key to Yang Meng's inspection, the cavalry of the Twist Army, the Mongolian horse team, and the Kham Jing Cavalry, these three teams, I don't know if they can be run together?

"Don't come to the monk king?"

"Thanks to the care of the ministry, Xiao Wang is fine!"

The unruly monk Greenqin, in front of Yang Meng, has also become a little sheep, not for anything else, mainly for the emperor's letter, now Monk Greenqin, in the riding camp is a disguise, seeing the Mongolian horse team that is merging with the Twist Army and Kham Jingcai, Monk Greenqin has envy and regret in his heart, if this horse team is his own, how good?

"Monk, how is this horse team training?"

"Fabulous! The Kham elite cavalry is not weaker than the Mongolian iron cavalry, to be honest, this Kham elite cavalry pulled by the ministry, even if it is selected all over Inner and Outer Mongolia, it is difficult to find tens of thousands.

Frontal charge, no one dares to take advantage of the Kangba fine horse, the tall and strong Kangba fine cavalry can ravage any cavalry, this little king can pack a ticket!

The twisted people and horses, although the background is not good, but the march and battle, but also quite the appetite of the horse team, today's Kham Jingqi has become the commander of the horse team, the centurion, the commander of the thousand, the horse team has played a role that cannot be ignored, if it is ......"

Monk Greenqin's regret is overflowing, if Zhangjiawan fights, he has such a horse team that can use guns, and he will not be defeated and return and lose his sacred heart.

"Monk King, you still don't understand the role of this horse team!

Back then, your ancestors didn't fight hard, how did the Eight Banners come about? Out of thin air? Riding on the horse to chase the enemy, dismounting and archery, this is the Mongolian method of warfare!

Drag down the enemy first, and then let the horse team give a devastating blow at close range, this is where the horse team should be used, use the horse team to block the bullet, no matter how fast the horse runs, it is not as fast as the bullet!

Raids, sabotage raids, night raids, where should this horse team be used? Attack a word, the monk king has to think about it! Fight hard and kill, although it is domineering and heroic, but now it is useless in the face of guns! ”

Talking to Monk Greenqin about this, Yang Meng is also a little helpless, this Monk Greenqin is the flag of the Mongolians, this guise must be used well, although Kangba Jingqi said that he took Yang Meng's errand to win people's hearts, but to win the hearts of the Mongolian horse team, it is not a day or two of livelihood!

"What the ministry said is reasonable, maybe Xiao Wang used the wrong tactics, and during this time, Xiao Wang should also think about it."

Regarding Yang Laosan's statement, Seng Greenqin accepted it in his heart, but after all, he was the Prince of Horqin, and it was okay to be humble to Yang Laosan.

"That's the best! The war is coming, and the monk king is also going to use his reputation, and the number of horses in the court is still too small! Too little! If there is a team of 500,000 horses, what British, French, and foreign are not ghosts under the sword? (To be continued......)
