Geng Zhongming was still young at this time, although he was smart and alert, he was far from the point where he was scheming later.

Naturally, I can't see the "woe" behind this grace.

Blessings and misfortunes depend, how can such a great grace of the imperial court be easily enjoyed.

"It is the practice of our dynasty to use literature to control force. Now that I have been promoted to Jinzhou Town, I will definitely re-appoint a civilian official to serve as the overseer. ”

Yang Chengying said with regret: "The imperial court will not let Fang Xun stay in Jinzhou, this is only one of them. ”

"Fang Xunji is very tolerant of generals, and as soon as he leaves, the new civilian officials may not be as tolerant as Fang Xunzhu."

Geng Zhongming frowned slightly, and began to figure out the mystery.

"Exactly. Second, according to the usual practice, a eunuch will be sent to supervise the army, do you think, Wei Zhongxian will not take the opportunity to install his own people? ”

Yang Chengying sighed and said: "There are two 'little ghosts' here, telling me how to leave Jinzhou Town for a period of time." ”

"It's tricky."

Geng Zhongming nodded.

Suddenly, he sniffed out something in Yang Chengying's words: "The general is going to leave for a while?" ”

"Go to Port Arthur to supervise the construction of a big ship and go to sea!"

Yang Chengying smiled and patted Geng Zhongming's shoulder.

There is such a thing as casting cannons, with Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi, Yang Chengying doesn't worry about it at all.

The only thing on his mind was to build a big ship and go to sea.

Open the door and send trade!

"Can you bring your subordinates?" Geng Zhongming asked excitedly.

"Take you, of course. Go out with me and see the vastness of the world, and it will definitely come in handy in the future. Yang Chengying said with a smile.

"Great." Geng Zhongming hugged his fists and said, "General Xie cultivates, and his subordinates will definitely not live up to the general's expectations." ”

"Call Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian, Jiang Chaodong, Shang Kexi, Peng Qigu, Xu Shang, and Kong Youde, and I will meet them here and explain some things."

"Yes."

Geng Zhongming exited the room and turned around to do what Yang Cheng should order.

After he left, Yingniang ordered someone to change the brazier to a larger one, and the curtain at the door was also removed and replaced with a thick curtain made of animal hair.

A few chairs were brought and placed around the brazier.

Yang Chengying didn't say a word during the whole process.

Just leave these things to Yingniang to deal with.

After a while, Fan Wencheng and others arrived one after another.

When they saw the placement of the seats, they froze for a moment and did not dare to take their seats.

"Sit, you're all my humerus. Some of them are higher than me, so they just sit down. ”

Yang Chengying raised his hand and signaled: "Let's talk together and arrange the follow-up." ”

They still didn't take their seats.

The seat, pay attention to a close distance, no one dares to sit on Yang Chengying's side rashly.

Yang Chengying realized something, got up and pulled Fan Wencheng with one hand, and Shang Kexi with the other, and sat on his left and right sides.

As a result, all the talents took their seats.

To the left of Fan Wencheng is Bao Chengxian, and to the left of Bao Chengxian is Jiang Chaodong; To the right of Shang Kexi is Xu Shang, and to the right of Xu Shang is Peng Haigu.

Kong Youde sat between Peng Haigu and Jiang Chaodong.

After everyone warmed up a little, Yang Chengying said: "A few people were invited by me, I must have already counted in my heart, after I left, Zhenyu City will rely on a few guards." ”

Everyone simply exchanged glances, and they all knew it.

Yang Chengying continued: "After I left, the government affairs were managed by Fan Wencheng, and Kong Youde assisted by him. ”

"Yes, General." Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde hugged their fists.

"Kong Youde, you have a short temper, sometimes you can't control your temper, you have to keep in mind, don't be rash." Yang Chengying specially told him.

"My subordinates have made a note of it." Kong Youde clenched his fists.

Yang Chengying said: "The military, mainly Bao Chengxian, is still happy to assist. In case of war, it is commanded by Bao Chengxian. When encountering major difficulties, he immediately asked for help from Jinzhou City. ”

"Yes, General." Monk Bao Chengxian hugged his fists.

Shang Kexi lowered his head slightly, hiding the flickering loss in his heart.

Yang Chengying keenly captured this and said with a smile: "General Shang, I have a big matter that you need to do for me." ”

"General, please command." Shang Kexi cheered up.

"I'll leave you the female soldiers, and you're going to train them for me. They are all the hope of the future women's barracks, you have to think more about it. ”

"Understand, my subordinates will do their best."

"I will arrange for people to train new firearms in Golden State City, and bring a steady stream of bird guns to you, you must understand the weight of the burden on your shoulders."

"My subordinates understand!"

The strength of Shang Kexi's sentence is much greater than that of Fang Cai.

At this time, he realized that the general attached great importance to the firearms unit, and it was necessary to have trustworthy and experienced people to command and train them.

Looking at the lieutenant general and colonel of the army, only he can do it.

Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Peng Qigu: "General Peng, the same is true for the artillery troops." When I have more money, I will form a unit dedicated to the protection of artillery units.

This force will also be handed over to you to be responsible. ”

"Yes, General. The subordinates must train seriously and live up to the general's expectations. Peng Hairpin replied.

Defending the city is a last resort, and it will definitely be a first-handed attack in the future. The offensive requires someone to protect the artillery units and not make them a living target.

Previously, the number of soldiers had been deliberately controlled, but now this idea is outdated, and as the imperial court attaches more and more importance to Jinzhou, the pressure is increasing, and it is no longer appropriate to use such a small number of soldiers.

"General Xu, the second battalion of water and fire is a barracks that I set up with my own hands. In the future, I plan to develop them into heavy infantry, and you will have to take them to exercise more so that they can get used to wearing heavy armor. ”

Yang Chengying also arranged a task for Xu Shang.

"Don't worry, general, I won't let you down."

Xu Shang patted his chest and promised: "When you come back, they will be as strong as a cow." ”

"Okay." Yang Chengying nodded with satisfaction.

Heavy infantry has existed in ancient times, and Bayala in the Later Jin Army is wearing heavy armor.

Looking at the old Manchu files and comparing the Ji Luo of the superintendent before and after, as well as some notes given by the Ministry of War, you will find that the Houjin soldiers lost less in each battle.

In addition to the fact that only the reasons for the bannermen and the first soldiers are recorded, it is also related to their heavy armor.

Several layers of heavy armor are slow, but long guns and short cannons are difficult to kill them.

Wearing heavy armor requires an excellent body, which means a lot of nutrients.

Nurhachi had to ask a family to support a banner like an ancestor, and Yang Chengying asked himself if he could do it.

Can't do it, there is no hoplite for the time being.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yang Chengying will not easily fight with the main force of Houjin in the field, and the number of troops is secondary.

"General Jiang, I originally wanted you to go south with me, but after thinking about it, I felt that you were also tired, so I stayed in Zhenyu City and trained slowly."

Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Jiang Chaodong.

The Fuzhou Army led by Jiang Chaodong was the weakest in combat effectiveness among the Jinzhou Army.

"General Xie takes care of you, and I won't let you down."

"Hmm."

Yang Chengying looked around at the generals: "After I leave, you have to perform your duties, and I will come back to test your results." ”

"Yes, General!" The generals said in unison.
