After the large-scale transformation of pure infantry into dragoons, of course, the shortage of artillery and bayonets and other equipment, of course, is also lacking, the aftermath of the great expansion of the army has not yet passed, the armor battle bureau has done its best, but in the absence of a large-scale increase in appropriations, they still have about forty percent of the lack of armor, fortunately, the shortage of pikemen and heavy armor soldiers is very small, as for the lancers, it has always been the focus of support, they do not even lack a piece of armor.

"We also want to get through this period as much as we can." Zhou Yao looked at the middle-level of several military training divisions standing straight behind him, and he said, "Look, my lord, their eyes are dark. ”

"That's right." Zhang Han laughed and said, "I will tell the attendant officer in a while that the Military Training Department needs to add some benefits in the near future." ”

"Thank you, sir." Zhou Yao got up and said, "In this way, the morale of the lower head will be even more sufficient." In addition to the dragoons, the chasseurs and lancers have also made some adjustments, as have the artillery regiments and the artillery and cavalry companies accompanying the army, and we have been following up on all kinds of detailed plans and reactions, including physical and mental, technical and tactical changes, and we have been following up, almost splitting one person into three ......parts."

Zhang Han said: "Based on the reaction to you below, I absolutely believe that you are telling the truth." ”

It was a joke, but everyone in the room laughed.

Zhou Yao himself is also laughing, he is estimated to be the worst popular one within the Hutchison Merchant Army, except for those old subordinates of the lancers who were brought out by him, it is estimated that no one likes him, and even if you make a list in the Merchant Army, such as the ranking of officers hated by soldiers the most, or the ranking of officers who want to shoot black guns the most, Zhou Yao is definitely a well-deserved champion, I don't know who the second place will be, but everyone knows that the first place must be him.

The Military Training Department has squeezed out almost all the potential of people, and the soldiers, including the officers, have to overload the march and training, often people don't even want to move their fingers when they lie on the ground, and it doesn't take long for the new order of the Military Training Department to come down again, and after a few months, everyone finds that their potential is really unlimited, every time they think they have reached a limit, Zhou Yao's new plan will break everyone's illusions, and the new training plan will be even harder.

For six days, the soldiers were training hard every day.

This is still the case on the seventh day.

The cycle repeateds itself so that no one has a chance to rest, and now this is an extraordinary time, and despite the complaints, the smallest mutiny has not occurred.

Compared with the Jiajing year to Wanli and then to the apocalypse, the mutiny of the Ming border army for various reasons, the Shangtuan army did not mutiny together under this intensity of training, which is really an out-and-out miracle.

"That's right," when Zhou Yao and the others said goodbye, Zhang Han finally made up his mind: "Regarding the matter of the Military Training Department sending people to Taiwan, if Zhou Yao is willing, you can send some good hands to set off with Sun Xiaozheng." ”

"Huh?"

Rao is Zhou Yao rarely shows emotional things, and the news at this time still surprised him.

"Don't worry." Zhang Han said with a smile: "I'm not angry to send him, not to mention his status and my close friend, just an uncle and I will be so careful." The important thing is not because of the quarrel, but because I feel that the high-level military department has to face up to the situation in Taiwan, I originally planned to go once, but I can't get out of the trading city here in the short term, and I can't leave the center for a few months, so it is the pillow that sleeps, if it is not for such a quarrel, I am really embarrassed to send Sun Xiaozheng to Taiwan. This time I went to you to investigate, he just brought his eyes and ears, you can summarize while watching, and finally see how the training is there, you are the chief officer of the military training department, how they train the troops have to listen to you. ”

Zhou Yao said with a smile: "It's really an honor for my subordinates to sail with Sun Zhengguan. In addition, the soldiers on Phi Island have trained very well, they have fought with Jianyu, and they know how big the gap is, so they have practiced extremely hard. It's not like the grassland, there are some signs of arrogance, and I didn't practice well before. The Taiwanese side has been fighting with the natives, and I feel that their combat readiness and physical training will not be bad, but then to the Spaniards and the Dutch, I have learned from the missionaries, these two countries are small countries in Taixi itself, and they are only one or two or three provinces of China, but these two countries are both powerful countries that have traveled thousands of miles and opened up countless territories, so they cannot be taken lightly. Both countries have ambitions, elite soldiers with rich experience in warfare, and even more experience in naval warfare, and we must not underestimate them. As far as the subordinates know, the casting cannons and guns of the Taixi countries were much stronger than ours earlier, and the Ming Franc machine was the artillery of the Portuguese that was imitated more than a hundred years ago, and later the Hongyi cannon was imitated at sea, which shows that people can not only sail thousands of miles to our side, but also have better cannons. If before, my subordinates would have thought that this was nothing remarkable, and I didn't know after staying in Hutchison for so many years that I could do these things, and all aspects of it must have surpassed my Daming, not to mention that I am still only a company in Daming. ”

"Yes." Zhang Han said with relief: "You can think of this, those books are really not in vain." ”

"So we're fighting with it, and we're going to have to do our best." Zhou Yao said solemnly: "From the ground point of view, our army does have a considerable advantage, but no matter how strong the land is, it must be moved to the sea to fight, and it is false to win at sea, in addition, the Dutch have built a considerable castle on the island, I have seen the map, this fort is extremely difficult to attack, I am afraid that thousands of lives may not be able to fight down, if the sea does not win, there is no chance at all." ”

"Well," Zhang Han nodded and said, "After you go back, prepare and send some elite soldiers and strong generals to follow Sun Xiaozheng." ”

"Yes, sir."

"That's right," Zhang Han motioned for a group of attachés to go out first, then stopped Zhou Yao, and said with a smile: "Originally, this was the highest level secret, but I can tell you that we have people from the Military Intelligence Agency who have planted stakes in Liaozhong and developed several dark lines, one of which is your old acquaintance." ”

"I don't know which one?" Zhou Yao showed a rare look of excitement on his face.

"You know." Zhang Han said: "Cheng Fang and Yang Yi are both in the Thirteen Mountains, and because of the rules, they have no way to contact you more." ”

Zhou Yao's face showed a warm color, Yang Yi was the leader of his team that year, Cheng Fang was the Pao Ze brothers, they escaped together in the pile of dead people in Salhu, and ran out together in the pile of dead people in Kaiyuan, and then Yang Yi disappeared, he and Cheng Fang followed a group of Shanxi Ming soldiers back to Shanxi, along the way the government searched for fugitive soldiers everywhere, many border troops chose to fall into the grass for the coward, Zhou Yao, that is, Zhou Daniu was one of them.

Later, Zhou Yao and Cheng Fang were appeased together, Cheng Fang was hired by the Military Intelligence Department, Zhou Yao first continued to be a bandit to cooperate with He Yusheng, and then seized the opportunity when he and Yusheng expanded the army, first took hundreds of horse thieves everywhere to harass the Mongolian tribes, the greater the meritorious service, the more resources allocated to him, Zhou Yao showed excellent military talent, and the honor and Zhang Han's appreciation made him rise all the way, and finally became the core of He Yusheng.

"It's Li Mingli." Zhang Han searched in his mind for a while, and said with a smile: "It's also with your team back then, he was captured by Jianlu, and he didn't escape for various reasons, and now his intelligence officers have come back anyway and become one of the hidden lines." ”

"It's Mingli......"

Zhou Yao muttered: "He is the youngest of our group, his subordinate is over thirty years old, and he is estimated to be twenty-five or sixteen years old." ”

"Well, so it's your little brother?"

"Yes, we took care of him as much as we could, but it's a pity that we abandoned him on the battlefield."

Zhou Yao shed tears, but he didn't ask for care, the news of Nurhachi's madness and massacre of Han people in Liaodong had already been reported, and people like Zhou Yao, who might have died in Liaodong, had already looked down on life and death in their hearts. It is a strong affection for Li Mingli's comrades-in-arms, but the soldiers know that there is no way to take into account the life and death of their comrades-in-arms when performing tasks, and only use the right people in the right position, even if Li Mingli is under the command of Zhou Yao, Zhou Yao will not hesitate when he should be used to charge into battle.

The only thing that worries Zhou Yao is that the secret intelligence officers are quite dangerous, once they are discovered, they will definitely be a dead end, and any spy on either side is particularly ruthless, and it is almost impossible to leave the lives of the discovered spies, including He Yusheng.

"I hope you can meet again in the future." Zhang Han sighed: "You should also be able to return to Liaodong and reunite with your family and friends. ”

"I'm afraid there aren't a few left." Zhou Yao gave a military salute again, walked outside the door, and left with the attaché in the courtyard.

Looking at Zhou Yao's back, Zhang Han sighed with emotion: "The idle chess pieces that were randomly arranged at the beginning have actually become the left and right hands that I rely on. ”

He turned his head, looked at Yang Qiu, who had been silent, and said, "Actually, you don't have to send a briefing every day, just ask the people below to send it." ”

Yang Qiu smiled bitterly: "In my position, if I can't meet adults a few times a day, I feel really uneasy." ”

"Okay, it's up to you."

Zhang Han can understand Yang Qiu's thoughts, the Military Intelligence Department is a very large department, and the strength in Yang Qiu's hands is much stronger than that of the Internal Intelligence Department and the secret service, of course, it cannot be compared with the serious army, but what do these military intelligence personnel want to do secretly, or cause a riot, or assassination, it must be much stronger than the serious army, and with such a huge force, if Yang Qiu is not afraid or worried about being careless, he will have a ghost. Other military leaders have tens of thousands of troops, eat and sleep well, and live very comfortably and happily, Yang Qiu has to cross the river with his eggs, careful for fear of being targeted in front of Zhang Han, although the power he has is large, as long as he does not intend to rebel, a team of special services can arrest him, it is really embarrassing to think about it, Yang Qiu sometimes wants to immediately transfer out of the Military Intelligence Department, who loves to carry this black pot, but if Zhang Han really wants to transfer him away one day, I am afraid that he will be reluctant to ...... The little husband must not be without money, and the big husband must not be without power.
