Chapter 298: Wooing
Only then did I see that the clouds at the head of the ridge were like covers, and the snow was like dust on the rocks.
Thousands of peaks, bamboo shoots, stones, thousands of jade, ten thousand trees, pineapples, and ten thousand silver.
The cold wind is bitter, the rain and snow are bone-chilling, and the rain and snow have begun to fall in Hanzhong Mansion in November.
The howling north wind blew over the mountains into Hanzhong Mansion, bringing the wind and snow of the northern country into this former land of abundance.
Tiny snowflakes slowly fell down from the sky, and many of them were swept away by the cold wind blowing from the valley floor in the mountains before they reached the ground.
When it was the end of the month, there were several heavy snowfalls outside Xing'an City, and the four fields on the outskirts of Xing'an City were also paved with silver white.
In the south of Xing'an City, the ground in the Hanzhong military camp is still clean and not covered with snow like the outside suburbs.
Every few hours, a special soldier is responsible for clearing the falling rain and snow to ensure that the camp is clean.
The barracks are no different from other places, and it is natural to ensure that they are clean and tidy.
And these are the requirements written into the "Code of Conduct", and they are also the requirements for the garrison in the military regulations.
In non-wartime camps, the soldiers in the camp can move freely, but the scope of activities is limited, and it is generally within the scope of the Bureau.
However, the interior is relaxed, but the external is not much more vigilant.
Even if it was outside the city of Xing'an, in the hinterland, the guards of the Hanzhong army outside the camp were still vigilantly scanning the outside of the camp, watching everything go vigilously.
Every half hour, a squad of sentry horsemen galloped back to the camp from a distance to report on the surrounding situation.
On the school grounds, there used to be various kinds of training conducted by troops every day.
Today's Hanzhong Army has recruited a lot of recruits, and it is natural that training and running-in are needed to improve the degree of organization and training that has been reduced due to the absorption of new soldiers.
But today, the school field is quite deserted, there are no golden drums and orders that continue to echo, and there are no soldiers who are constantly walking back and forth, changing the queue and military formation.
At the edge of the school grounds, there were only a few scattered flags fluttering in the north wind.
Chen Wang wore a jade crown on his head, a bullfighting suit inside, a hood armor on the outside, and a red cotton coat, and stood in the southwest of the school yard with a knife.
A group of robes and belts, and the guards with armor and armor stood around Chen Wang like stars holding the moon.
Behind Chen Wang, all the generals and colonels of the Hanzhong Army stood with their hands tied, waiting for the military order.
Hu Zhiyi and Hu Zhili, who often follow Chen Wang's side, are not here today, and Chen Gong is also not here.
Standing beside Chen Wang were Zhang Ling and two Tujia generals.
On the school ground, different military orders began to sound, and more and more flags began to appear in everyone's field of vision.
The soldiers in the camp began to pour into the school grounds.
Zhang Ling stood beside Chen Wang, he was wearing a square scarf on his head and a blue coat, with a lot of clothes inside, and no armor.
After all, Zhang Ling is old, and now that it is freezing today, he is not disobedient to old age, and he wears more than Chen Wang.
Seeing the neat formations of the Hanzhong Army, the soldiers of the Hanzhong Army, who were walking vigorously and neatly dressed, Zhang Ling's heart couldn't help but be moved.
Even if I saw the drills of the Hanzhong Army every day during this time, I saw it again, and I was still unconsciously stunned.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of queues alone, the queue of the Hanzhong Army is the most neat army Zhang Ling has ever seen.
During this period of time, the Hanzhong Army was organized and trained, and Zhang Ling was actually observing.
Zhang Ling wanted to see how this general soldier, who was praised by the emperor as the champion of the three armies and had the full strength of Qi Shaobao's training of soldiers, was trained.
If he knew the method, he would also train his troops like this, and he would be able to train a strong army to protect the safety of Kawauchi.
But after observing the past month, Zhang Ling didn't see much of the trick.
Because of the past month, most of the time of the Hanzhong Army has been in the training queue, in addition to the training queue, it is practicing spear assassination, these most basic things.
Zhang Ling felt very puzzled because of this, in his opinion, this kind of training is the most basic thing, but these trainings can't train any strong army.
Just when he was puzzled, Chen Wang sent him an invitation and asked him to come to watch the martial arts performance today.
Zhang Ling was full of doubts in his heart, and naturally agreed to such an invitation.
"I have long heard that Chen Shuai's soldiers are strong and strong, and the firearms are sharp, I don't want to be lucky enough to be able to observe the town's military exercises today."
Zhang Ling looked at the soldiers who were entering in front of him, and smiled and complimented.
"Today's decay is going to take a long time."
The sedan chair lifts people high, and the words of flattery come out, even if they know that it is flattery, the hearts of those who still listen are quite comfortable.
Chen Wang smiled indifferently, the main purpose of this military exercise is to declare military strength, and secondly, it is to get closer to Zhang Ling and the Tujia generals, so naturally he will not hold a shelf and said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang praised it, I once led the troops into Sichuan to fight, fought in coordination with Mr. Hou, and I have seen the bravery of the Sichuan soldiers, in fact, I want you to ask for advice on how to train."
"After all, it is not advisable to work behind closed doors, and in the end, we must exchange experiences in training and combat with each other, and then use actual combat to prove that we can make progress."
Chen Wang turned his head, looked at the other two native generals standing beside him, and said.
"The white pole soldiers are famous, the battle of Banzhou, the rebellion of Lu'an is famous, and the reputation is all over the world, especially good at fighting between the mountains and forests, most of my subordinates are northern soldiers, and ten percent of the ability between the mountains and forests can not play fifty percent, and I also want to ask one or two."
One of the two generals of the native soldiers, one of whom was tall and slightly dark-skinned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and short hair, was about thirty years old, when he was in the prime of life.
He was draped in a green cotton coat, with armor underneath and a net scarf on his head, and he did not wear the kind of thorny scarf that most native soldiers often wear.
The other person is thinner and smaller, with a relatively white complexion, bright eyes and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and a handsome appearance.
It doesn't look very old, but it doesn't have a beard, which is quite strange, but it may be the custom of the natives.
So Chen Wang didn't care too much.
Both of them were born in the Shizhu Propaganda Division, they are locals, and they both have guerrilla titles.
The older general is called Ma Yuanshan, and the younger one is called Ma Yuying, a member of the Shizhu Ma clan of the two.
Shizhu Ma is a Tusi family, which has been passed down from generation to generation since the Song Dynasty.
The Propaganda Department such as Shi Zhu, and the officials and generals under the division are basically appointed by the Tusi, so they are naturally the children of their own clan who are in charge of local affairs.
The Imperial Court would add titles to them according to their positions in the Propaganda Division.
Hearing Chen Wang's words, a slight smile appeared on Ma Yuanshan's face and he said.
"Chen Shuai's words are serious, when I came, Qin Shuai had already instructed, Chen Shuaiwu was overlooked, the rewards and punishments were clear, the army was marching and fighting, everything should be Chen Shuai's first look."
Qin Shuai in Ma Yuan Pass naturally refers to Qin Liangyu, the stone pillar consolation envoy who is now leading the stone pillar and other six major consolation divisions.
"If Chen Shuai is interested in our method of military training, we will naturally not hide our secrets, what Chen Shuai asks, we know everything."
The Tujia people were not called Tujia at this time, they called themselves "Bizka", "Mikika" or "Beijinka", and the Ming Dynasty government also used their titles.
The Tujia people have long lived in mixed with the Han people, and many customs and habits are the same as those of the Han people, and even the clothing is very similar.
According to his genealogy, the ancestral home of Shizhu Tusima is Fufeng, Shaanxi, and he is a descendant of Ma Dinghu, the 39th grandson of Ma Yuan, the general of Han Fubo.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Ma Dinghu entered the country because of Pingwuxi, and was appeased by the stone pillar because of his merit, and the official position was inherited from generation to generation, and he was able to guard the stone pillar for the world.
Shizhu Ma clan has a long heritage, the clan has a clan study, and the scale is quite large, the children of the clan have to practice Chinese and local dialect at the same time since childhood, but also learn poetry and songs, Confucian classics.
Therefore, most of the Ma clan people not only speak Chinese, but also have certain literary skills.
Chen Wang's eyes lit up slightly, what he wanted was to have a good relationship with these native soldiers, Ma Yuanshan clearly said that Qin Liangyu ordered them to cooperate as much as possible, which was the kindness conveyed by Qin Liangyu.
"After that, I'm afraid I won't have to bother one or two."
Chen Wang hugged his fists and smiled.
"Chen Shuai is serious."
Seeing this, Ma Yuanshan and Ma Yuying also hugged their fists in return.
"Let's watch the martial arts first, and if you say anything else, put it on the table later."
During the conversation, on the school ground, a group of soldiers were already standing.
On the school ground, more than 3,000 soldiers stood in three arrays, standing in the westernmost part of the school field, directly in front of the high platform they were on.
In the far north were more than 1,000 Sichuan troops under Zhang Ling's command, all of whom were wearing dark blue cloth iron armor and helmets, or carrying bird guns or spears on their shoulders.
The momentum can be called majestic and murderous.
In the central area, there are thousands of native soldiers, and there are very few in armor, less than half, and many people do not even have helmets on their heads, and they are wrapped in thorny scarves.
Their weapons were much more chaotic than those of the Sichuan soldiers, some of them carrying a strange kind of waist knives, others carrying spears on their shoulders, which were mostly white poles.
Some of the soldiers also had short bows hanging from their waists, and some of the soldiers had these iron-like throwing weapons hanging from their waists.
At first glance, it may seem cluttered, but it doesn't conjure up words like rabble.
The ferocious momentum of these native soldiers was something that Chen Wang had never seen in any army.
Such a soldier, if he can be well trained, equipped with excellent armor and soldiers, will definitely be invincible on the battlefield.
Chen Wang looked at these native soldiers standing under the stage, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot.
If he can make the six major Xuanfu soldiers use it for his own use, it will be enough to help him collect all the three southwestern provinces!
Chen Wang closed his eyes, although he was eager in his heart, he also knew that it was still too early for all this, and it was not appropriate to reveal the ambition in his heart too early.
When he opened his eyes again, Chen Wang's eyes regained his calm, and he looked at the audience again.
The closest place to stand on the high platform is naturally a military formation composed of more than 1,000 soldiers of the Hanzhong Army.
These more than 1,000 soldiers of the Hanzhong Army, without exception, are all wearing peaked iron helmets, ring iron arm armor on their arms, and spurs with spurs, which are majestic.
Wearing a crimson cloth iron armor on the outside and a dark red cotton military uniform inside, one bright and one dark, the armor is distinct, and the lining is extraordinary.
The soldiers of the Hanzhong Army all carried a sea oath that was more than 1.6 meters long on their shoulders.
They held the bottom of the butt of the oath with their hands, turned their backs to the front, and used their shoulders as the fulcrum of the belly of the oath gun, supporting the gun to stand up at a slight angle.
The total length of the sea oath is more than five feet, the length is more than one meter six, and the total length is close to two meters with one foot of thorns.
At this time, they were resisted on the shoulders of a group of soldiers, and thousands of spurs were densely packed like sisal in the ground, and like a jungle full of thorns.
The cold sunlight shone into the battle, and there were countless cold and cold rays.
The uniform dress and uniform weapons formed a strong contrast with the native soldiers and the Sichuan soldiers.
On the high platform, whether it was Zhang Ling, Ma Yuanshan and Ma Yuying, they all looked at the Hanzhong army below with solemn expressions.
Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly, and he took in the expressions of the three of them.
I also have a basic concept in mind.
The opening scene arranged by Chen Wang was not the more than 1,000 soldiers who were fully armed and equipped with new-style firearms.
Rather, more than thirty cannons were now displayed in front of the high platform where they were,
These cannons that are now placed on the school field are all the artillery under Chen Wang's command now.
Twenty-two three-pound guns, seven five-pound guns, and two seven-pound guns, for a total of thirty-one guns.
Originally, there should have been a total of forty-one artillery pieces, but when he left the Beijing Division, Sun Chuanting took a thousand cloth iron armor with enough material and exchanged it for ten three-pound cannons in his battalion.
When he first took office as the governor of Shaanxi, in the Battle of Heishuiyu, Sun Chuanting used the cannon to seize the high point and attack the army.
And in this battle of King Qin, Jinan and Qingshan Pass, the performance of the new artillery is too eye-catching.
Sun Chuanting was naturally aware of the impact of such artillery on the war, so he also wanted to leave a certain number of artillery pieces and form an artillery team equipped with new artillery in his pacesetter battalion.
Sun Chuanting was quite kind, and used his power to transfer a batch of ordnance in exchange.
1,200 collar cloth and iron armor for ten three-pound cannons, this business is not a loss, but after careful calculation, Chen Wang still made a lot of money.
After all, there are more than 300 three-catty cannons, and ten guns are only 3,000 taels, and if a thousand cloth-faced iron armor is produced by the Hanzhong Guard Weapons Bureau itself, it will cost nearly 10,000 taels of silver.
Although these are all public things, Sun Chuanting is so generous, naturally it is not just for the exchange of armaments.
The extra iron armor is actually Sun Chuanting's compensation for the victory of Qingshan Pass and King Qin this time.
In this battle of King Qin, Chen Wang's soldiers and horses were damaged by more than 30%, and almost all of the 3,000 headquarters were disabled, leaving only 2,000 soldiers and horses.
In addition to the iron armor that made up 1,000 collars, Sun Chuanting gave Chen Wang a lot of armaments, chain mail, helmets, and ring iron arm armor.
Among them, the ring iron arm armor is the most, and more than 2,000 pairs have been replenished, plus the inventory of Hanzhong Mansion now, if it is concentrated, Chen Wang can completely let the entire army in the main barracks be equipped with ring iron arm armor.
The number of chain mails is also large enough to be issued to officers at the rank of the team, and all of them are made to wear double armor.
The heroine will come out soon, Chen Wang, as the leader of the power, must have an heir, don't worry.
I know your concerns, but everything must be realistic.
The original owner is a master, he joined the army when he was young, Chen Wang has only been in the army for four years, and he has been fighting all the way to the north and south, and he has no time
