The key is to build it quickly and cheaply! The craftsmen in the army can build it themselves according to the drawings, and the characteristics are similar to that of pine cannons and elm sprays, and they can equip the troops in a short time.

Moreover, the combination of grenadier vehicles and thunderstorms, coupled with numerical superiority, exerts a lot of power.

directly killed and flew his arms and legs, it is estimated that he is not so sharp; But it is not difficult to get injured.

You can imagine the scene where the black thunder swept through the air and exploded on the ground, shooting out countless broken pottery shards and iron sand.

Xiong Tingbi led everyone to inspect and comment at the same time. Imagine how the enemy will attack and how your own side will defend, and perfect various tactical plays.

After the inspection was completed, when Xiong Tingbi and the others returned to the city, they met a general who had been waiting for him for a long time at the city gate.

"Lord Jinglu." Huang Degong bowed respectfully.

Xiong Tingbi bowed his head slightly, and asked, "Are you ready to go to the capital to enter the martial arts?" ”

Huang Degong's face was bitter, and he snorted: "The last general thinks that there is nothing to learn from fighting in the battle array, and wants to ask the adults to ......."

"Nonsense." Xiong Tingbi glared at him and reprimanded: "Raise the martial artist, this is the grace of long live." You hurry up and pack up, and you will rush to the capital tomorrow. ”

After speaking, Xiong Tingbi pulled the horse's head, went straight into the city, and hung Huang Degong there.

He Kegang looked at Huang Degong standing there stupidly and couldn't bear it, turned over and dismounted, walked to Huang Degong's side, and said: "Huang Chuangzi, it's a good thing to go to martial arts, but others can't go if they want to!" ”

Seeing Huang Degong raise his head to look at him, He Kegang stretched out his hand and patted his arm, and said: "Long live Yu martial arts is very important, in the future, if a martial artist wants to be promoted, he must be from a martial arts background, or have studied in martial arts." ”

"Can you?" Huang Degong blinked his eyes and said, "If I am brave in battle and have made meritorious contributions to the enemy, can't I be rewarded and promoted?" ”

"Look, you still don't get it." He Kegang said with a smile: "If you have made great contributions in the battle formation, or if you are recommended by Lord Liu, or if you are promoted by Long Live Jian, you will always have to go through the martial arts." ”

Huang Degong scratched his head and thought about it, seemed to be a little enlightened, and asked: "If you don't enter martial arts, won't Banzai be at ease and won't trust reuse?" ”

He Kegang grinned, not daring to draw conclusions. He smiled helplessly. patted Huang Degong again, turned around and got on the horse.

"Looks like I guessed right." Huang Degong's big eyes rolled, and he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I have to go sooner or later, so I don't have to procrastinate, just start tomorrow." ”

In fact, Zhu Youxiao's continuous transfer of generals through martial arts training, including Xiong Tingbi and He Kegang, and many other people, can see it very clearly.

This is the emperor grasping the military power and controlling the army of the Ming Dynasty.

Through martial arts, they will investigate, exercise, and select, and at the same time replace or install capable generals they trust, and gradually take over the military power in various places.

If you behave well and get the emperor's approval, you can naturally lead the troops to become an official, or even be promoted; If it is unbearable, then martial arts is the end of some people's military careers.

First Gyeonggi, then the northern border towns, and in the future, it will expand to the interior and the south. This step-by-step procedure is not hidden, nor is it difficult to guess.

To put it bluntly, if you don't pass the level of martial arts, if you want to get the emperor's trust and reuse in the future, and if you want to regain military power and get promoted, there is basically no hope.

But the emperor's mind is so easy to guess, who dares to say it directly, and who dares to resist?

………………

Phi Island.

Mao Wenlong, who knew the emperor's thoughts, was reprimanding his adopted son Mao Chenglu in the camp.

"Don't talk about it again."

Mao Wenlong glared at Mao Chenglu, who was kicked in the head by a donkey, and saw his stupid appearance, so he simply said it more clearly, "Martial arts is a means to select generals from long live, and what comes out of martial arts has the meaning of a protégé of the Son of Heaven." ”

Mao Chenglu blinked his eyes, understood, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and he kowtowed: "It's the child who is confused, and he almost hurt his father." ”

Mao Wenlong snorted, sat down in the chair and waved his hand, "It's good to understand." There are no outsiders at a loss, otherwise ......"

Shaking his head vigorously, Mao Wenlong didn't say any more, and his tone softened a little, "Get up!" ”

Mao Chenglu stood up, stood aside with his head bowed, and secretly regretted in his heart: Why can't he figure out this truth, and still think about improving efficiency, and building a school similar to martial arts in Dongjiang Town to train low-level officers on the spot?

"Martial arts also involves the reform of the military system, and we can't get involved in it." Mao Wenlong admonished in a deep voice before explaining: "The training of the Dongjiang Army must be accelerated, and in more than a month, troops will be sent to fight." ”

Mao Chenglu hurriedly bowed down and responded: "In another month, the Dongjiang Four Associations will have a fire battalion, supplemented by grenadiers and the rest of the artillery, which is enough to launch a large-scale attack on the Dongyu." ”

Mao Wenlong was noncommittal, pondered for a long time, and said: "Our army is newly built, and most of the officers and soldiers have not been in battle formation, so it is not suitable to fight with Dongyu. Choose the enemy's weak place to attack first, not only to train with battle, but also to boost morale with small victories. ”

"Then send more people to spy on the enemy." Mao Chenglu said: "I also asked my father to let the child fight this first battle, and he will be able to win in return." ”

"Don't be a father and son in the army." Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "How can you not know the heart of your meritorious service." And go to the training department to win the first battle. ”

Mao Chenglu bowed and bowed, and retreated.

Mao Wenlong waited for his adopted son to come out of the account, and then crouched on the map on the table, frowning slightly to find the enemy's loopholes.

At present, the Dongjiang Army has expanded to more than 20,000 people, 5,000 per association, and is stationed in Phi Dao, Guanglu Island, Daxiao Changshan Island, Kashima Island, Zhangzi Island and other places.

It can be said that the deployment of the Dongjiang Army is almost complete, spreading along the coastal islands of eastern Liaodong and southern Liaoning, forming a situation of strategic encirclement.

In the process of completing the strategic encirclement, the Dongjiang Army also took advantage of the naval division to capture or destroy all the ships along the coast, so that Houjin lost the ability to go to sea to fight.

Of course, Houjin doesn't have any big ships, and there are no sailors, so it's relatively easy for them to not go to sea.

In other words, it is relatively convenient for the Dongjiang Army to attack and harass the land from the sea. After all, the coastline is so long, and Houjin can't defend it everywhere.

It's just that Mao Wenlong still wants to continue reconnaissance and spy for more than a month of training to find the best point of attack.

Moreover, the Ming army in western Liaoning abandoned Guangning, and the main force retreated straight to Ningyuan, leaving a large blank space. If Houjin sent troops to occupy it, it would be an easier opportunity for the Dongjiang Army to succeed.

Houjin has so many troops, and the more extensive the area, the more dispersed. The so-called division of troops is weak, and this is the truth.

It's just that Houjin is obviously aware of this problem and did not dispatch, and even Quang Ninh City did not send troops to station.
