Chapter 66: Nothing
Chen Mu could feel that whether it was him as the general flag at the time, or the small wooden tube that wasted gunpowder, it was not enough for Wang Rulong to raise his interest and make a special trip to say a few words and turn his head and leave.
There was something else or something that attracted Wang Rulong, maybe it was the wooden tube hanging from Wei Suo's bird hand that reminded him of the eventful years when he was conquering the Japanese from Qi Shuai, or maybe he remembered something else, so he wanted to meet this person.
There is no doubt that Chen Mu, who commanded the flag army to set up camp, did not meet Wang Rulong's expectations.
However, his words brought great help to Chen Zongqi.
Bamboo.
The inner wall of the bamboo is smooth, unlike hand-cut wood, which requires the discarding of two parts of gunpowder to ensure that the amount of gunpowder poured into the gun tube is sufficient.
This problem is harmless in the eyes of Chen Zongqi now, but if he has a hundred bird guns, this problem will be a big problem, a round of salvo fires consumes two taels of gunpowder, and ten guns a day wastes more than a catty.
The arrival of Wang Rulong not only saved the lives of the guards and battalion soldiers, but also took over all the rights and obligations of Xinjiang Town. Even the garrison does not need their assistance.
In fact, Bai Yuanjie's guards and Deng Zilong's battalion did not have the strength to fight again in a short time, although they won several rebel shock battles and achieved the mission of the chief military officer Yu Dayou to garrison Xinjiang Town, but the two armies of 1,000 people have been disabled.
Deng Zilong's army, which was the most damaged, had only 100 people left, and was almost wiped out; Seventy percent of the soldiers of Bai Yuanjie's barbarian battalion were killed and wounded, and the empty warships were dragged to the shore to build a camp; As for Chen Muqi, who originally replenished the strength of the township warriors to reach 200 people, there were only eighty-one people left.
This is also because in the most tragic battles, they only participated in the end and were responsible for supervising the army.
Of course, there is also the leader of Wu Duanwu, he didn't even have to participate in the recuperation of Xinjiang Town, and there were only more than 700 left in the most tragic battle of Xinjiang Bridge for more than 3,000 people, and even Wu Duan himself was injured in the battle, and doctors were mobilized to be sent to Yingde County for recuperation. The remaining soldiers were brought to the place where he raised troops by Wang Shiqiao, a general under Wu Duan, and returned to Fujian to recruit the old troops.
Chen Mu heard in the camp that this battle won Wu Duan the official position of general of the South Guangxi Road, and allowed his subordinates to post 3,000 posts, and after recovering from his injuries, he was transferred to Guangxi - the reason is very simple, there was a Tusi rebellion in Guangxi.
Although it has only been a year since he came to this era, he can't be called integrated, but Chen Mu has a clear view of the true colors of the martial artists in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
In July, with Wang Rulong leading more than 2,000 Qijia troops to garrison the Xinjiang Bridge, Li Yayuan failed to attack the bridge twice, and the troops changed from offensive to defensive, and the strategic Xinjiang Town was completely under the control of the Ming army.
The weather has also entered the hottest time, the shade of the trees can be full of sweat, and the cicadas are upset, but Chen Mu can only train hard.
Because Bai Yuanjie said that the iron should be struck while it is hot.
The battle of Xinjiang Town destroyed the flag army that Chen Mu had worked hard to train for half a year, and the old faces of Qingyuanwei in the flag army were only a dozen old soldiers except for the small flag officers.
Although cruel, this is a good thing for Mr. Chen.
The survivors have seen Chen Mu kill the fugitive Yan Ming military law, and everyone has also fought side by side with Chen Mu, maybe the faith is not enough, but the majesty has been established.
Similarly, each of them experienced a tragic battlefield that the Qingyuan Guard Banner Army might not have experienced in their lifetime, neither was they killed by the enemy, nor were they executed by Chen Mu as a fugitive, and they lived strong to the end.
They were all good soldiers, from poor backgrounds, either military families or farmers; There was enough courage to support them to persist in fighting; What's more, when Chen Mu selected soldiers, he always selected homeless people who were young and strong and had fighting spirit to recruit into his ranks.
Maybe they are not well nourished, not strong enough, poor in combat skills, and not powerful enough, but according to Qi Jiguang's standards, they can all be selected into the Qi family army and can be trained.
This is a good seedling of elite soldiers.
"Is this just a good seedling?" Bai Yuanjie hugged his arms under the tree, and his face of defeat after the war had been easily replaced, but his inadvertent expression was a little more resolute, and he teased: "Chen Zongqi's vision is getting higher and higher, what's the matter, you also want to train a Qi family army?" ”
Chen Mu was wearing thin leather armor, wiping the sweat on his forehead, this weather was no longer suitable for wearing iron armor, and he was sweating profusely if he made a slight move.
He smiled: "Qianhu said that it was funny, it is too early to say this. The Qi family army has rules and regulations regardless of whether it is a battle or a marching sentry, without Qi Shuai's experience in exterminating the Japanese army in the past ten years, even if Chen Mou blindly arranges it, it is only in vain and meaningless, but who doesn't want to have better soldiers in their hands? ”
"Looking up, naturally the higher the vision, the better, but the feet are still on the ground, and the step is closer, so it is stable!"
This is a relief, but in fact, it is also a little unwilling.
For nearly a month, he watched Wang Rulong's subordinates' officers and soldiers from afar, and he couldn't wait to learn a few more life-saving kung fu to use on his subordinates in the future, Qi Jiguang's advanced military theories and management methods compared to this era really opened his eyes - there is a reason why the morale of the Qi family army is high.
In their spare time, each team stopped in one place, whether it was to open fire and make food, to eat and sleep, in accordance with military orders; On the night of the camp, the captain led his soldiers to preach the military law manual, let's call it the manual, Chen Mu didn't know what the military law regulations for each of Wang Rulong's ten army captains should be called; When he is not practicing or preaching military law, Qi Jiguang arranges a leisure way for the sergeant to sing.
Chen Mu heard the song of saving his life when he was fighting to the death on the bank of the Xinjiang River.
"All of us are united, and the mountains can be shaken.
Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting.
The Lord will kiss me better than my parents.
Committing military law is not free.
The order is clear, and the reward and punishment letter is written.
Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late!
Report to the Son of Heaven and save the head of Qian.
Kill all the slaves and find a marquis. ”
In addition, the battlefield is beheaded by the decapitation of the ear, the first-level merit is based on the team, the reward is never in arrears, and the folk music hooligan suona as a military horn!
An army has all the military spirit, combat skills, ideas, courage, and orders it needs.
Anyone can list the Mandarin Duck Array, but not every army has the combat power of the Qi family's army, and even the combat power is insufficient, for example, Chen Zongqi's banner army may still be able to fool the rebels, but it has to be against Yu Dayou, a veteran general?
Putting out the mandarin duck array is also in vain!
"Down-to-earth, that's a good point." Bai Yuanjie hugged his arms, he was also very happy to see that his subordinates were so conscious, and then Zhengse said: "There are two things to find you, there are General Yu and General Wang who is not welcomed, not before, whether the reward can be truthfully sent down has to be said, you must be prepared in your heart." ”
Chen Mu took a deep breath, in fact, he had this preparation in his heart, the top Wang Rulong was not welcomed, and Yu Dayou was not treated well in the court, and his future was worrying, so he took a deep breath and asked, "Even if it can't be truthful, there will always be some, right?" ”
Bai Yuanjie nodded, and then smiled at Chen Mu: "You asked Shao Mangworm to go back to Qingyuan Wei to get the silver to find Bai Qi to recruit craftsmen, what, what new ideas do you have?" ”
