Chapter 987: In the Snow

The two young women looked at each other, both seeing the look of shock in each other's eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Yu Niang bit her lip and said: "In the past, my father and eldest brother also trained in the Lingqiu mine, and the miners in the mine also had regimental training, which was claimed to be more powerful than the border army, and today I know that the real army turned out to be like this......"

Chang Ning said: "Let's go down in a while, arrange for people to boil a few more pots of ginger soup, on such a day, there will definitely be many soldiers who suffer from the cold, and it is good for them to go to the cold." ”

Zhang Han smiled slightly, and did not stop his wife's kindness.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, but a group of cavalry came out of the small barracks in the city in the wind and snow, originally gray military robes and big hats, and after walking in the wind and snow for a while, they were already snow-white.

Zhang Bin, who was in Zhang Han's arms, exclaimed: "Daddy, these people are so powerful, they dare to ride horses in the snow......"

Chang Ning was also a little surprised, and said, "In this kind of weather, do you still want to go on an expedition?" ”

Zhang Han looked at it and said, "This is Ma Wu, they have been training and resting in Qingcheng so far, and they have been ordered to form a dragoon battalion. ”

Ma Wu was originally a company-level military attachΓ©, and he returned to the merchant army after fighting thousands of miles, and the military secretary did not give them a promotion, but only recorded the merits according to the rules, but Ma Wu and Lin Nanxing were both awarded first-class medals, and they were also rare winners of several first-class medals in the military system of the merchant regiment of Heyusheng, with great merit records and medals, everyone knew that their future was extremely bright. Zhang Han personally met these young officers many times when he was in Qingcheng, and the Military Training Department also had these officers, including several infantry officers transferred back from the Thirteen Mountains, as well as some officers who were also transferred back after the cavalry battle of the Bahrain Department a while ago, and they worked together to conduct technical and tactical training according to the characteristics of the Eastern Captives...... Everything is carried out in an orderly manner, Zhang Han himself, including Zhang Han and the officers of the Staff Department of the Military Training Department, are quite calm and calm about the threat to Donglu, maybe Donglu is the most vicious enemy of the Shangtuan Army, or maybe it is other forces, Zhang Han did not deliberately influence his subordinates with the historical process he knew, and the officers and soldiers of the Shangtuan Army did not feel afraid because of Donglu's achievements in Liaodong...... Speaking of the sky, isn't Donglu still a barbarian? That is, he has learned a few tricks with Liaozhen, the fierce training of the soldiers, the battles are more, the armor is better than the Ming border army and the northern captives, the bow and arrow are more accurate, and the strength is greater, in the final analysis, it is just a bow and arrow cavalry and then a battle.

These things should also be done by qualified Ming border troops, there is nothing unusual!

Attaching importance to tactics and despising strategically is also the attitude of the high-level leaders of the Shangtuan Army towards the Eastern Prisoners.

In the battle of the Thirteen Mountains, the heavy armored infantry can frustrate the edge of Jianlu, and the Bahrain cavalry battle, at least both sides retreated, each with different losses, and the cavalry regiment was only a slight setback, if it were not for the inherent arrogance of the Shang regiment army, with the loss of three or four hundred people, in exchange for the battle loss of more than 80 white armor of the Jurchens, in fact, it was a tie seriously.

Of course, the tactics do need to be changed, in recent months, the branch division of Qingcheng has been working on this matter, after Zhou Yao took over the military training department, he acted very decisively, and he was also resolute, and he has been focusing on the formation of the dragoon regiment and the preparation of a new training program...... The name of King Zhou Yan is known even to many Mongols.

Zhang Han was curious and said, "I'm going to the Military Training Department to see what kind of fame Zhou Yao is doing for a while!" ”

"Judge Zhou is not in the city." Chang Ning saw Zhang Han's anxious appearance, and suddenly remembered what he looked like when he saw Zhang Han a few years ago. At that time, Zhang Han was just his cousin, and when they met, he looked like Zhizhu, who had been in the upper position for a long time, and he looked like he was calm about everything, but when he was assassinated that night, he rescued himself and held him in his arms, only to hear his fierce heartbeat, which made Chang Ning feel that Zhang Han was still a normal young man after all.

After so many years, Zhang Han's breathless monkey anxious appearance, but I haven't seen it for a long time.

Fortunately, this expression is not stunning to any woman, but thinking of a murderous man with a full face and beard, Chang Ning doesn't know whether he is angry or funny?

"Li Zhuang Government School has moved over." Chang Ning explained: "More than 300 students were taken out of the city by Master Zhou for training. Before going out of the city, the clouds were dense, and people persuaded Zhou to look at the sky after a while, and then talk about it, and Brother Wang also meant this, but Zhou said with a straight face at that time: If you are captured, you will fight, do you still consider the time of day? Usually I am afraid of bad weather when I train, and God will arrange sunny days and rain and snow according to your wishes during the war? With such a top, even Brother Wang can't say anything, let him take those boys out of the city, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a lot in this ice and snow......"

"Zhou Yao did the right thing." Zhang Han said disapprenously: "What he said is good, I am afraid of rain and snow in training, what should I do when I fight?" Wang Changfu was born in the border army, everything is good, and Zhou Yao is inferior to him in terms of practical ability. But when it comes to war training, Wang Changfu is behind him, why? It's not because he's too soft-hearted! Ci is not in charge of the army, this is not nonsense! ”

Zhang Han said abruptly, both his wife and his concubine were shocked by his attitude, but fortunately, in the end, Zhang Han himself woke up...... This is at home, not leading people in meetings.

At the moment, he laughed and threw Zhang Bin away, the frightened Changning Yuniang lost his face, Zhang Han complained a lot, he didn't refute or talk back, he smiled and hugged his son in his arms, the lanterns in the surrounding courtyards and corridors were lit, and the stars were like stars falling in the sky, Zhang Han only felt peace and joy in his heart, hugged his son, and walked down slowly.

……

When the lanterns were lit in Zhangfu, lanterns were also lit in the Khan Palace, which was not far away.

Compared with the starry Zhangfu, the number of lanterns in the Khan Palace is not much, and it seems that it is not very reluctant...... The Khan's expenses are now also financially responsible for Yusheng, and the finances have been stretched thin for the past six months, and it is good to be able to maintain the delivery of basic materials to the Mongols, and the supply is of course much thinner than last year.

Honey wax is not a cheap thing, the lanterns can't use oil lamps, they are all lit beeswax, and the priority of the military department must be Zhang Han's mansion, and then the mansions of Li Shenming and other dignitaries, as well as major branch agencies, various schools, garrisons, commercial houses, and finally the Khan Palace.

Ordinary Mongolian nobles, most of the ranch income is back to their own pasture, stay as the archway for most of the stars have been scattered, the pasture was requisitioned as arable land, the military department has not considered compensation for these people for the time being, the main reason is because of the lack of finance, of course, the apparent excuse is that these nobles support Bu Shitu Khan and Acheng Taiji to wage war with Yusheng, because of the war crimes of these people, so temporarily do not return their pastures, and do not give compensation, to wait for three to five years later, will give these Taiji material compensation, Or give a certain bonus every year.

Before that, these Taiji could only live on their own savings, and they also received a certain amount of living expenses in the military department.

Around Ombuhong, gradually gathered some unwilling Taiji and nobles, when the Zhangfu lit the lamp, they stood in front of the steps of the main hall, surrounded by Ombuhong, and looked at everything in front of them with complicated thoughts.

Qingcheng is still this Qingcheng, the city wall that stretches for more than five miles is still the same as before, or the north and south gates, or the same Khan Palace, but everyone's mood has undergone earth-shaking changes, just like the city in front of them, the appearance has not changed, and the inside has become almost unrecognizable to everyone.

"Rest the guards." Omu Buhong saw a lot of Mongolian men in robes patrolling around the palace with bows and arrows, this newly sealed King of Shunyi was a thoughtful person, and he was also very sympathetic to his subordinates, and immediately said: "On such a cold day, there will be no thieves, why bother to put on such a hard work." ”

The head of the Khan's Palace, Zhuo Bi Taitaiji, hurriedly said: "Great Khan, you look at the merchant soldiers, which one is not wearing iron armor in the snow, our Mongols may not be inferior to the Han people?" ”

Taiji Ayu said: "What the manager said is very true, we Mongolians are born and grow in the grassland, we have experienced this kind of weather since we were young, the Han people can stand it, and our Mongolian good men should also be able to withstand it." ”

"Either way, it's enough to keep a sentry." Ombuhong's face was displeased, and he said: "It is useless to put on a show, and it is a waste of manpower. ”

"Yes, Great Khan."

It is difficult for everyone to fight anymore, so they can only arrange for most of the sentry guards to be on duty.

These guards also live in the Khan's palace, now Qingcheng, except for a few lamas and Taiji who have a residence in the city, the vast majority of Mongolians live in the Khan's palace, and some of the original religious facilities in the Khan's palace have been changed into places to live, although there are nearly 500 people, but it is not very crowded.

Ah Yushi looked at Zhang's mansion again and said, "I didn't expect Lord Zhang to really come." ”

Another Taiji said dissatisfiedly: "When I heard that Master Zhang had returned, I always thought that he would come to visit the Great Khan, and I waited for him since the morning, but I didn't see him." ”

Silver Ingot had been looking at it with a smile before, he had never talked much about the internal affairs of the Khan's Palace, after all, his identity was more special, he was said to be the Taiji of the Tumut Department, in fact, everyone regarded him as the representative of the Heyusheng faction here, saying that he was the person of Heyusheng, and he was the Mongolian Taiji of Zhenggen, and both sides occupied the identity, and sometimes it was not very convenient to talk anyway.

On the contrary, in Zhang Han's place, the silver ingot can almost know everything, and the words are endless.

Hearing someone complaining, the silver ingot said lightly: "Didn't I send someone over a long time ago, which shows that Lord Zhang has never seen anyone today, and he went back to the house directly, only for the family banquet, and no outsiders went in." Wang Changfu and Zhao Shiwen are enough for their identities, didn't they go to meet either? ”

Ah Yushi heard this: "They are Lord Zhang's subordinates, and our Great Khan is still the lord of the Tumut Division, and he has a good relationship with Lord Zhang." ”

The silver ingot said unceremoniously: "You must remember that we lost the battle and were 'friendly' with others, which is different from the three Khans of Mobei, and even different from Ordos and the suit. If this is forgotten, the Mongols who died in the previous battle will die in vain. ”
