Yu Jingning is not resolute in governing the army, which seems to be in the same vein as Yu Pu. Without asking Lin Xieyuan's opinion, he split and reorganized those Sichuan troops.

Now the soldiers in the city of Nanjing, plus those miscellaneous people, there are a total of 1120,000. Yu Jingning and the others recruited some soldiers and horses in the local area, and they were together with the original Nanjing volunteers, but after that, they didn't have to be called righteous and brave, all of them were regular troops. In this way, a total of 150,000 troops were drawn, and of these 150,000, 50,000 were divided to train the navy.

Among the 50,000 naval troops, there were not only cavalry from the Northwest Army, but also infantry from the Nanjing Army of the Sichuan Army, and even newly recruited soldiers. But Yu Jingning said that from now on, he will no longer mention the former name of the Nanjing Army of the Sichuan Army, only call it "Fujian and Zhejiang Water Division".

Nanjing is not near the sea, but along the Yangtze River, the newly built naval army is all trained in the Yangtze River - the ships are the original Nanjing Army, when the chaotic army fled from Nanjing in a hurry, they also left some ships, and the Northwest Army even requisitioned some merchant ships in the port of Nanjing as warships.

Che Si'er was originally a craftsman in the army, and took this opportunity to recruit a large number of craftsmen to collectively transform these warships and load some of the guns they pulled.

Yu Jingning is a landlubber from the north and can't swim at all, but even so, he is also training with the newly built Fujian and Zhejiang water divisions. Yu Jingning has not trained the navy much, everything has been learned from scratch, and there are still many veterans of the navy in the Nanjing army, all of whom went into battle to help Yu Jingning practice. He is better than Tan Huaijue, and he won't vomit so much when he gets on the boat, and after a few times, he will get used to it.

Of course, he has more to do every day.

From a distance, the "two armies" on the Yangtze River are facing each other, and the sound of artillery can be heard from afar. Although it was an empty cannon, it sounded huge, and it didn't take long for the winner to be decided.

A few ships began to dock, and the winner could naturally rest, and the loser had to practice more.

As soon as Yu Jingning returned to the dock from the deck, he heard Gu Cheng shouting from the boat: "The prince is so ruthless, he left me alone here to watch this group of monkey cubs practice, and I ran down!" ”

When Yu Jingning heard it, he couldn't help but be amused, and he didn't look back: "You know that you will make trouble with me, say a few more words, and be careful of military law to deal with you." ”

When Gu Cheng heard it on the boat, he laughed and passed.

Yu Jingning went ashore, picked up the pocket casually, and saw Che Si'er coming up from afar: "Lord Wang!" ”

Yu Jingning walked over in a few steps, and Che Si'er picked up his pocket and asked, "Now that there is still some time before dinner, does the prince want to rest?" ”

"Not busy." Yu Jingning walked towards his tent and said to Che Si'er, "Go back to the tent first, and discuss something with you and Gu Cheng - Mingdu!" ”

"Huh!" Mingdu ran over from the dock with a bang, shouting as he ran, "Lord Wang! The little ones are here! ”

"You go and talk to Vice General Gu, ask him to see it for a while, and then go to my tent, I have something to discuss with them." Yu Jingning put down this sentence and continued to walk forward.

Behind him, the voice of the famous capital answered: "Got it! ”

Che Si'er didn't know what Yu Jingning was going to say, but followed Yu Jingning and strode forward, and entered the camp tent after a while.

As soon as he entered the camp tent, he saw that Yu Jingning had drawn two large circles with a cinnabar pen on the map, one was Suzhou and the other was Jiaxing.

Yu Jingning stood in front of this huge map with his hands behind his back, and said to Che Si'er in a calm tone: "When I was on the boat, I had already thought about how to fight. ”

Not long after these words fell, Gu Chengcheng lifted the curtain and came in, and after saluting Yu Jingning, he remembered what happened to Fang Cai again, and smiled at Yu Jingning: "If the prince wants to call me over, Fang just called me over, why did he ask me to come over at this time." ”

Yu Jingning turned around and let them sit separately, then put a sand table in front of him, and smiled at Gu Cheng: "That's your soldiers, they lost, don't you have to be punished with others?" ”

In the past few days that Yu Jingning has been in Nanjing, his mood seems to have improved a lot, and he can no longer see the pale and skinny person who vomited three mouthfuls of blood in Beijing in a row, and sometimes he can even joke with the people below.

Gu Cheng didn't think so, but Che Si'er had been with Yu Jingning for a long time, and he always felt that there was something hidden under his current mood.

But Yu Jingning is the master after all, and he can't mention it, so he can only ask from the side sometimes. And most of Yu Jingning's answers were: "I'm fine." "Yes, on the surface, he is very good.

So Che Si'er can't help but wonder in his heart - has the prince really changed his temperament?

He raised his eyes to look at Yu Jingning again, and saw that he was setting up the sand table, and there was not much expression on his face. Che Si'er frowned and didn't say much.

"I have sorted out the news that everyone has inquired about in the past few days, and I can be sure of two things: first, the rebellious army led by Gong Laoba is mostly entrenched in Suzhou Mansion, I am afraid that we want to wait until the right time to re-attack Nanjing, and we can only defend here, not attack, which is not a way." Yu Jingning pointed to Suzhou on the sand table, and the two people next to him hurriedly stretched out their heads to look, "Second, except for the part that lent troops to the rebellious army, the rest of the Japanese have never left Zhejiang, and the nearest one is in Jiaxing." The spies under the three hands of the last car came back to report that the leader was called Ichiro Takei, and he was the leader of the Japanese who had been fighting in Fujian and Zhejiang for several years. ”

Yu Jingning said this, and glanced at the two people around him, as if he wanted the two of them to express some opinions.

Che Si'er pondered for a while, and took the lead in speaking: "I heard the third brother say that Ichiro Takei has not been in Jiaxing all the time, this is when the rebel army attacked Nanjing before, he stayed in Jiaxing in order to provide support to Gong Laoba, and I don't know when he has to leave." Therefore, his subordinates believe that this is a good opportunity to attack Ichiro Takei. ”

"Exactly." Yu Jingning nodded in approval, "Not only that, but now their main forces are still on land, and the rebel army is already a Daheng person, we naturally know what shape they are, and they must be inferior to us in land warfare." Needless to say, the Japanese were originally the overlords of the water, and our water army is still breastfeeding, how can we compare with others. So, taking advantage of the fact that they were still on land, I beat them hard. ”

He pointed twice more on the sand table: "I will lead people to Suzhou, Brother Cheng will lead people south, go to Jiaxing, if I go well, I will go to meet you." These days, those warships can't leave Che Si'er for the time being, so you stay in Nanjing City, so the troops are divided into three routes, do you two have any objections? ”

Gu Cheng and Che Si'er both expressed no objection, and the two of them clasped their fists and said in unison: "The subordinates obey the order." ”
