Song Meng's archery skills were very powerful, and his cavalry was practiced by Zhu Gaoxu according to the requirements of the sentry cavalry.

It is said that Zhu Gaoxu talked with Song Meng for a few days and taught him how to practice sentry riding.

Of course, half of Zhu Gaoxu's experience was learned from Zhu Gaochu before, and half of it was learned from the Internet, and he didn't dare to say whether it was useful or not.

Most of the people in Song Meng's team are veterans, and when Chen Wen passed by, he could clearly see that these veterans had superb archery skills and were not bad at riding and archery.

In fact, the infantry of the Ming Dynasty is quite strong now, and there are many infantry used in large-scale wars, Chen Wen does not understand why the king of Gaoyang County asked his subordinates to practice archery.

Moreover, many generals in the Yan Wang's army knew about this, and it is said that some people privately said that the king of Gaoyang County was grinding his guns in battle, which was a stupid performance.

However, Chen Wen remembered what Zhu Gaoxu said, if everyone thinks he is stupid, this is actually a good thing.

When Chen Wen arrived at Zhu Gaoxu's camp, there were only 1,000 households in it, Xu Xiang, and Wang Bin and Song Meng, two hundred households, and the general banners had not yet arrived.

According to the current establishment of the Ming Dynasty, one hundred households governs two general flags, and each general flag governs five small flags.

There are ten people in the small flag, fifty people in the general flag, and a total of 113 people in one hundred households (one hundred soldiers, one in another hundred households, two in the general flag, and ten small flags.) ）

The number of Zhu Gaoxu's 500-member team varied, with the largest small flag having 13 members and the largest total flag having 60 people.

But the overall is still according to this establishment, so the general flag and the hundred households are fixed.

In this way, under Zhu Gaoxu's command, there are a total of ten hundred households and twenty general banners.

Seeing Chen Wen come in, Zhu Gaoxu greeted him warmly and motioned for him to sit down and take a sip of cold water first.

"It's really hot." After Chen Wen saluted, he hurriedly stepped forward to drink water.

Zhu Gaoxu was about to say something, but after hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Fortunately, you reminded me, this king almost forgot, the weather is so hot, tell the brothers not to practice first, pay attention to rest, and hydrate more." ”

"Your Highness, the last general doesn't mean that?" Chen Wen was also stunned, he just said casually, but he didn't expect about military training.

He immediately said: "If it's hot, you have to fight, and it won't be because of the heat, the court won't send troops." ”

"Let them go to the forest in front of them, cut down some trees, and practice foot archery first." Xu Xiang said at this time: "It's cool in the forest. ”

"Yes." Zhu Gaoxu is a person who knows that he will change his mistakes, and he will not feel that he will damage his majesty.

Chen Wen nodded secretly again, if Yan Wangjue's self was wrong, would he change it?

After he drank a few sips of water, he heard Wang Zheng of Gaoyang County talking about the cavalry shooting of the Yuan army with Xu Xiang, Wang Bin, and Song Meng.

No, it should be talking about Mongol cavalry tactics.

King Gaoyang believes that the Mongolian cavalry at its peak is still quite powerful, even if the elite of the Ming Dynasty is defeated against the remnants of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, they usually have to form a suppression with several times the strength of the army.

Chen Wen immediately understood what the king of Gaoyang County meant, and wanted to train his soldiers and horses like the Mongolian cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and he could shoot in advance and retreat.

"It's not something that can be done overnight." Chen Wen carefully reminded that the Mongolian cavalry at its peak was trained on horseback since childhood.

"This king doesn't need to train to the level of Mengcai, he can fight the southern army." Zhu Gaoxu remained silent.

Don't look at the Ming Dynasty is very good now, if you use the elite soldiers and horses of Lao Zhu Liguo and the Mongols at their peak, they will definitely not be able to beat.

"Anyway, let them be idle, and it is better to practice archery and riding than to stay in the battalion, many recruits, they still have to practice more." Xu Xiang said at this time.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"The most important thing in an army is discipline." Zhu Gaoxu was thoughtful at this time.

The strongest in the history of the Ming Dynasty should be the Zhejiang army, the battle of the Hunhe River and the elite of the Later Jin Dynasty are difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, and that is still the Zhejiang army that has passed its peak.

Half of the reason why the Zhejiang army is so strong is because of the strict discipline during training.

But now Zhu Gaoxu definitely can't train with queues, and strictly train these soldiers and horses.

Only after the victory of Jingjing can we have a lot of time to practice.

"The main purpose of our military training is not to lag behind, my father is very good at using soldiers, if it is a tough battle, he will definitely be elite." Zhu Gaoxu said at this time.

That's right, his current military training is just to put on a show and show everyone.

He just needs to ensure that he will not drag his feet in the Jingjing tribulation and not affect Zhu Di.

A small half of his subordinates surrendered troops, a small half of recruits, and it is estimated that these soldiers and horses will not be needed in a real tough battle.

Several people drank herbal tea and talked in Zhu Gaoxu's camp, and when they approached the end of the day, hundreds of households in each camp and general flags came one after another.

In the camp, Zhu Gaoxu's personal soldiers prepared cold water and herbal tea, and those who came in washed their faces first, and then sat on a stool to drink herbal tea.

On such a hot day, after everyone ran here, they instantly felt a lot more refreshed, and the key was that the king of Gaoyang County was so intimate, everyone was happy.

After everyone came, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the hundreds of households in the house, the general flags, and he couldn't name many of the general flags.

"Come, starting with Wang Bin, let's introduce myself to this king, and everyone will see how to introduce it." Zhu Gaoxu nodded to Wang Bin.

Wang Bin stood up with a smile and hugged his fists to everyone: "Brothers, Your Highness, I am Wang Bin, my hometown is Shandong, I am twenty-six years old this year, a team of 100 households, I only know a few words, it is my name, hehe." ”

Zhu Gaoxu organized his soldiers and horses into a team of about 100 people, a total of 10 teams.

Then the second team of Wei Da got up, Wei Da said a lot, starting from his own small soldiers, talking about the first time he went out with the king of Gaoyang County, and then Zhu Gaoxu was named the king of Gaoyang County, so he defected to his command, Wei Da knew some words, but he didn't know much.

Then there is the third team Chen Wen, the fourth team Song Meng, and the fifth team Zhou Hu.

Sheng Jian of the sixth team, Wang You of the seventh team, Zhang Jie of the eighth team, Zheng Xing of the ninth team, and Yang Yun of the tenth team.

Qianhu Xu Xiang sat next to Zhu Gaoxu. He was still stunned after listening to everyone's self-introduction.

Because Chen Wen, Zhou Hu, and Song Meng are all literate, and three of the ten hundred households under them are literate, which is still rare in the current Ming Dynasty.

The key three are all from Jiangzhou.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang was called the emperor, and the capital was Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), and two years later, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiangzhou and renamed it Jiujiang.

The three of them all said that they were from Jiangzhou, and if there were civil officials of the imperial court present, their faces might change slightly, and now they are Daming, why did you use the previous title?

Xu Xiang knew that these three people were Zhu Gaoxu who was following halfway, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Because Xu Xiang was also Zhu Yuanzhang who surrendered in Jiangzhou.

That's right, Xu Xiang used to be Chen Youliang's person.

However, people like him who surrendered are basically not good now, as the oldest deputy Qianhu of the Northern Guards of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiang is only a deputy of Qianhu in his sixties, so he still has some ideas in his heart, otherwise, he would not have followed King Yan to raise troops.

And he was only a deputy thousand households before he started the army, and after he fought together, King Yan immediately promoted him to a thousand households.

The world has to be chaotic, and only when we are chaotic will we have a chance, Xu Xiang thought silently in his heart at this time.
