Xiangshan wilderness, military field.

Ten hundred households were stationed in the garrison formation, and some people who had no time to return and did not want to come back tomorrow at night, some stayed in military tents, and some stayed beside the road.

The guards did not set up camps, but only lit up the perimeter very brightly.

The nights of this era were too dark, and many people were blindfolded, which is commonly known as night blindness, and bonfires were not built to guard against impossible enemies, but to guard against wild beasts and snakes that haunted at night.

Chen Mu's small tent with the army was crowded with four or five people, and the officials and soldiers who followed Zhang Han and Yu Dayou were all outside, and there were two accompanying scribes inside.

The two old men sat on the upper seat, and Chen Mu sat below, reporting to them about the occupation of the military land by the Six Banyan Temple, Zhang Han listened to it with relish, but Yu Dayou was not interested.

After he finished speaking, Yu Dayou waved his hand and said: "Chen Qianhu can make his own decisions about these things, and the general Tian Mintian can take it back, and there is no need to make a big move." It is difficult to travel at night, so I will transfer the soldiers back tomorrow and let Tianshi go to the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees to explain to the abbot. ”

"No one cares about you, and you still have to lead the troops to demolish the Six Banyan Temple?"

Of course Chen Mu didn't have this idea, hearing Yu Dayou say this, he laughed lightly, and hurriedly said: "How dare you dare to be lowly, but I am afraid that the flag army will come and clash with the monks, so I brought the troops over, and I only used it for training." ”

This old soldier has a relationship with the Zen Academy, once a stick hit Shaolin, but also passed back to the southern Shaolin martial arts in Fujian, and now the monks of the Six Banyan Temple occupy the Mintian military field, he is not interested, as long as there is no more conflict.

Not to mention the monks...... What qualifications do the flag armies have to start a conflict?

In his opinion, Chen Mu only needs to send someone to say a word to take back the land, and let the monk send tenant farmers to plant rice for half a year, and then take the land back.

It's a bit cloudy.

"Training?"

Yu Dayou had never heard of this word, but he could understand it only literally, and then asked what he was interested in, and said, "You let the flag army carry so many things, what's the matter?" ”

Hearing Yu Dayou ask this, Governor Zhang Han also showed a little curiosity.

They came all the way from Zhaoqing and inspected one guard and seven institutes, only Chen Mu had the most soldiers, and he looked more presentable. But the things on the Xiangshan Banner Army are not available to all soldiers, whether it is the flag army, battalion soldiers, or recruits.

"It's a little idea from the humble post some time ago, the two adults will wait for a while."

Chen Mu said that he went out of the tent, shouted Qi Zhengyan to call a well-armed bird handman to come over, brought it into the tent and said, "Unload all the armaments on your body and put them in place." ”

Where have the little bird gunners seen the governor and the chief soldier, that is, when Chen Mu was the chief banner, he couldn't see Yu Dayou on the battlefield of Xinjiang, and he was already trembling when he entered the account, and when he heard the order, he hurriedly untied all the drapes on his body.

Taking advantage of this, Chen Mu said to the two: "Some time ago, the Xiangshan Zhou County Decree informed the lowly Huangliang Du Lao Anshan that there was a group of thieves in Xu Laoqi, who often crossed the border by boat and attacked Xinhui. ”

"The flag army is all newly recruited, and it is inevitable to suffer casualties against the bandits attacking the mountain, and it is impossible to send two or three hundred people to transport the baggage, so I want the flag army to bring as many things as possible to save the baggage."

"You go out and wait." Seeing that the bird gun took off his leather armor and stood aside, he asked him to go out first, pointed to the things one by one and said: "This is the weapon of the bird gun, which is different from the rest of the foot soldiers." ”

"A wide girdle and a thick cloth belt, a waist knife, twenty bamboo medicine pots in the front and back, the left side of the bird gun damaged and repaired accessories, and the right side with three lead rods for replenishing lead pills when stationed in the camp."

"A roll of felt pads, two pieces of tent cloth, a wooden frame backpack, two ropes up and down the backpack, left and right, the felt is wrapped underneath, the tent cloth is rolled on the top, and the bag contains a pair of lead molds, three-day rations, fire sickle flint, wooden bowls and wooden chopsticks."

"The left leg is wrapped in a roll of hot linen, and the right leg is wrapped in an external wooden medicine cylinder, and the gold sore medicine is placed inside and outside."

"A small flag with a fireman, a pot on his back, and two coconut scoops."

"When you arrive at the camp, take off your backpack, cut down wood and take bamboo, you can make a tent, and you can go into battle lightly when you send troops." After Chen Mu finished speaking, he arched his hand to the two of them and said: "In this way, the thieves and bandits in Xiangshan do not need to carry a heavy load, even if they attack the fortified positions, they can only carry a few cars or a dozen carts of baggage." ”

As he spoke, Chen Mu unconsciously showed a smug look on his face, and said emphatically: "Especially when you land on the island." ”

"I have inquired about the situation of Xiangshan and Islands in Guangzhou Prefecture, and when I get on and off the ship, I can travel lightly and simply, and there is no baggage flag army that can travel sixty or seventy miles a day and still have combat strength; If you carry a baggage, it is good to travel forty miles a day. ”

The barrel theory is also applicable to the march, the simple infantry rush, the best army of this era can even travel a hundred miles a day, but it is different with baggage, the speed of baggage is slow, the speed of the army cannot go up.

What's more, Chen Mu's thousands of households have no artillery, no heavy artillery.

With heavy artillery, it is difficult for the best army to travel forty miles a day.

"Good."

If you talk about the essence of military affairs, Yu Dayou, who was known as 'Yu Long Qi Hu' at the time, is better than Qi Jiguang, he said: "The soldiers are fast, your method is very good, if the southeast guards are like this, they will be invincible." ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, the things are given to them, that one guard and seven institutes, more than thirty thousand households, which one can be like Chen Erlang? Hum! ”

Zhang Han snorted, his words were very unhappy, but he looked at Chen Mu and appreciated it more and more.

It's interesting to say, Yu Dayou is not indebted to people, not close to people, at first he wanted to repay the love of the telescope sent by Chen Mu, and the original intention was not to owe this little general flag. But later, Zhang Han said "proud protégé" in the Governor's Palace, which changed the taste.

For a while, except for Chen Mu and Yu Dayou, the two parties who knew what was going on, the whole of Guangdong thought that Chen Qianhu was Yu Zongbing's person.

Chen Mu and Zhang Han are more interesting, the sentence 'the governor's door is good to enjoy the cool', recently in the various yamen official mansions in Guangzhou Mansion after tea and dinner, it has become more and more unseemly.

Chen Qianhu seems to have a great background in the eyes of others, and Zhou Xing asked him to help him speak to the governor Yamen, probably because of these rumors.

Having a background is fake, but being appreciated is true.

The professional ability of the military attaché of the Ming Dynasty not only included fighting, but also included drilling camps and interpersonal relationships.

"You have merit in intercepting the news of Zeng. The day before yesterday, the governor of Fujian came with news that he had led more than 30 large ships and not counting small boats, and had taken advantage of the wind to harass Fujian. ”

Zhang Han's white beard was angry when he mentioned this, and he raised his hand and wanted to slap the table, only to find that Chen Mujun's tent was simple and terrible when his hand hung in the air, and he withdrew his hand and clenched it into a fist and said: "When the old man took office, the old governor specially mentioned that last year, the two provincial capitals suppressed each other, and they passed the buck to each other, so the military gate of the two provinces agreed that the thief would take charge of himself in Guang Zeguang." The thief is at his own expense! Now it's no wonder that the old man didn't add troops and ships to help! ”

"The imperial court has issued an order to supervise the construction of military ships, and no one in the Guangcheng Guard Office can do anything except Xiangshan. The old man asked you, if a thief hits Guangcheng, what can you do in Xiangshan Qianhu? ”
