Chapter Eighty-Three: Winter Training
Just after Meng Li and his entourage returned to Yangping City, the capital of Yannan Province, it snowed heavily on this piece of land in Yannan Province. Let his group have to sigh their luck! Traveling on a road that is mostly mud and flat, snow will affect traffic, not to mention some roads that are not roads at all. The snow is rapid and heavy, and there is a feeling of thousands of miles of frozen snow drifting.
Almost all people love spring because it's the season of rejuvenation. Han Yu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote: "The light rain in the heavenly street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass color is close but there is nothing." Meng Li does not deny the beauty of spring, but he still prefers winter, especially the snow scene in Yannan does have a different scenery for Meng Li to praise!
In the snowy winter, almost everyone huddled at home, and they got together to chat with them for warmth; Unconditionally, the family got into a quilt together, staring at the small snowflakes that kept leaking through the holes in the roof, and shivered.
In the hall of the Yannan Hou Mansion, almost all the generals were already seated except for those who had to stay in other places, and they gathered together happily to talk about interesting anecdotes from all over the world.
And Meng Li took Guo Jia to seem to be discussing something in his study~
"My lord? Is that good? ”
Guo Jia rarely questioned Meng Li's decision, because he understood the truth of the monarch and his ministers, and the role of a qualified and excellent advisor was to improve the lord's plan and make up for the lord's omissions, but now he was a little skeptical.
"Fengxiao, it is imperative to train the troops in winter, even if the batch of grain and grass that is escorted back with us must be carried out!"
Meng Li, who was reborn from the Chinese Continent, knew that there was an ancient saying called winter practice Sanjiu, summer practice Sanfu. That kind of army is a force made of stainless steel, and it is an indomitable army. Although this year's tax revenue in Yannan Province is not enough to support such a huge consumption, Meng Li believes that he wants to move the new army food and salary that he escorted can be used to support the continuation of this winter training plan.
In this era, there are no examples of large-scale battles in winter, but Meng Li, who is from China, knows that this winter is really a season that can be used wonderfully. All kinds of schemes start in winter, and it's not too late!
Although it is said that none of today's soldiers are physically strong enough to come down for a winter training, it is better to let the soldiers practice for a while in the winter, so that the financial burden can be lightened a little, and a good foundation can be laid for next year's large-scale and long-term training.
"Lord, in that case, which army will be the main force for training in winter?"
Seeing that his lord said quite firmly, Guo Jia, who no longer had a chance to allow himself to change, shifted his thoughts, began to ask Meng Li's ideas, and then formulated his own strategy.
"This question is still about to let Fengxiao think about it~"
Of course, Meng Li only has a general idea, and the specific implementation still depends on the planning of the people below. So for Guo Jia's inquiry, Meng Li still replied very indifferently.
"Ask me again?" In Guo Jia's heart, Guo Jia, who was helpless and bitter for a while, shook his head and thought: "There is such a lord who trusts his subordinates very much, and I don't know if it is my Guo Fengxiao's luck or misfortune~"
"Lord, I heard that General Wen Yuan was able to train the wolf cavalry he brought at the beginning?"
In this case, let's think about the lord. In other words, Guo Jia's impression of the hundred wolf cavalry is very deep, and the combat effectiveness of the group is quite powerful, if there can be a large-scale wolf cavalry, I believe that no matter how risky the plan is, they can help themselves to complete it.
"Yes, then what does Feng Xiao mean to train the recruits that Wen Yuan is preparing to train first?"
It is said that Meng Li's original intention was to train the military horses of various departments, but the consumption in winter is too large, and now the logistics cannot keep up, so he can only consider training elite soldiers and horses.
"Yes, if General Wen Yuan's wolf cavalry is cold-resistant, our army can completely allow them to attack the grassland in winter and reduce the pressure on our Northern Expedition."
It stands to reason that Guo Jia's idea is completely correct, but he still hasn't taken into account the issue of military talismans. Meng Li didn't know how the system was set, whether it was from ordinary people to wolf cavalry Zhang Liao could only train 150 in one quarter, or everyone to the exclusive class of wolf cavalry could only train 150 in one quarter, it seems that this question has to be asked Zhang Liao. As for Dian Wei's Tiger Guard, it is dedicated to protecting its own army, and winter training is necessary, but it is not as important as the main battle force.
"General Wen Yuan's ability to train the wolf cavalry is not very clear, but if I can give him an elite troop, I think we can improve his efficiency~"
Guo Jia's idea was for them to help Zhang Liao complete the first step of training soldiers and horses, and then hand over these trained soldiers and horses to Zhang Liao, which might improve Zhang Liao's training efficiency.
"Yes, but even if Wenyuan wants 1,000 people a year, what about the rest of the troops? You can't just train such a little bit of soldiers and horses this winter~"
Meng Li still has a knot in his mind about the large-scale winter training.
"This, then let General Boji select his soldiers and horses~"
Rubbing his temples, he didn't know why Meng Li was so keen on winter military training, and Guo Jia, who was so keen on winter training, still provided a good choice. Because although the combat effectiveness of these soldiers of the forbidden army is not strong, they are stationed in the prosperous capital, and they can definitely keep up with the food and nutrition, so it will not be a big problem for them to train in winter, and they can exercise their combat effectiveness in advance.
"Well, then Bonghyo, what about the implementation of the guidance technique?"
After choosing the troops to be trained in winter, Meng Li still turned back to this problem, if the troops who were trained could have guidance skills at the same time, the effect of training must be even better~
"This, Jia doesn't have a clue yet, after all, this ......"
Guo Jia is still very distressed about this problem, because it is certain that this guidance technique will be implemented to cause an elite army, but how to keep it secret is still very nerve-wracking, after all, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit, you can stop a betrayal of the secret and can't stop the second~
"That's it, let's go, go to the hall and meet the lonely generals~"
Seeing that Meng Li, who had nothing to discuss, was still ready to go to the hall for a meeting, there were still Xu Shu, Xie An and other wise people, maybe there would be a good plan, wouldn't it? Meng Li thought expectantly~
……
"Participate in the lord~"
After seeing Meng Li walk in from behind the screen, the generals got up and said hello.
Sitting on the only upper seat facing the door, Meng Li glanced around the talent-filled hall
"Sit, everyone, there are no more reasons to call you back today."
"One is to summarize what you have seen and learned in various places, and let us make a precise plan for the development of the next year; Second, the New Year is approaching, and everyone is spending our first memorable New Year in Yannan Road with their families; Three, that's what I've been thinking about lately. ”
"Winter training?" Hearing Meng Li say this, the generals below exclaimed.
Winter training is a tiring job, in the winter I like my wife and children to hot kang head, this training has to be blown and snowed every day, but it is really not a human being~
"Yes, since we haven't done it yet, I've decided that this training is only a small-scale training."
"Where are Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Xie Xuan, and Mo Hong?" After explaining, Meng Li named the names of the four people.
"The last general!" The four people who looked at the spiritual support given by the brothers around them stood up with a forced smile on the corner of their mouths, quite a tragic feeling that I would not go to hell and who would go to hell.
"Zhang Liao selected 1,000 people for training, and you are responsible for the specific content!"
"喏~"
"Dian Wei selects 500 people for training, and he is responsible for the specific content!"
"喏~"
"Xie Xuan and Mo Hong ordered 3,000 elite soldiers from the forbidden army to strengthen training, and grind away the temper of their old man!"
"Oh, I will live up to the trust of the lord!"
Looking at the remaining generals who were secretly happy, Meng Li also said in order to take care of the feelings of the four people: "The rest of the generals don't have fun, it is imperative to train in winter, and I am thinking about whether it will be rotated every year~"
The smiles on the faces of the generals who were secretly rejoicing at the bottom suddenly stagnated, this is not good~
