Although the frost-free period here in Mobei is only more than 100 days, and it will be winter in the autumn of the Han region, and it will snow almost every day in the winter for a month or two, but Hutchison still has to try to raise chickens and ducks, and the dilemma is the problem of wintering, there are hundreds of species of birds in the big lake, and whenever people approach, the birds fly to cover the sky and the sun, as if to cover the mountains around the city of Kulen, but in autumn, these birds will fly southward, and at the same time there are flocks of birds flying from the further north, and they will continue to fly south, until the warm south, where they overwinter and breed their offspring until the birds can travel far away and fly back.

Winter can be a headache and mean building shelters for the winter, as well as preparing hay and fodder for the winter, but the abundance of fish in these rivers and especially lakes is quite satisfying to the duck herders, who feed on the endless lakes of fish and shrimp and mud snails in the spring and autumn, and the ducks eat fat and lay eggs in large quantities.

After all, this lake is the largest lake in Inner Mongolia except for Hanhai, those seas in Monan are very small, small means the limit of the scale of stocking, here, you can easily put the number of more than one million, unlike in Lizhuang along the Baiyang River to consider the impact on fisheries and agriculture. Here, the number of ducks will reach quite a terrifying number, and the two treasurers and their subordinates feel that the lake alone can provide all the necessary eggs and more than half of the meat for the hundreds of thousands of troops, and if it goes well, the impact of the army and merchants, including immigrants, on Mobei will not be too violent.

Zhang Han appreciated the work of these two shopkeepers and strongly supported them, and the manpower and financial allocation they needed were not very large, but they solved quite a big problem.

There may be people who don't like duck meat, but Zhang Han doesn't care about it, and no one cares at all.

All kinds of military personnel have tasks to do, in fact, some people don't have to see Zhang Han, but if there is a little opportunity, they are still willing to come and meet the big boss, and it is good to leave a little impression.

Zhang Han may meet these people, and he may ask them to run for nothing, everything depends on time or mood.

Several Taiji from the three divisions of Mobei came over every day, and they would come to report on some of the movements of the Mongols and listen to some briefings from Hutchison, which was required by Hutchison, and of course the Mongols would not have this kind of advanced consciousness.

At this time, Zhang Han saw a smiling middle-aged man in the crowd, slowly walking over the crowd to this side, he was ordinary-looking, medium-sized, and his pace was not in a hurry. However, many people in the military took the lead to avoid it, and the military personnel were not very nervous, after all, this middle-aged man was wearing a military uniform, and some of them were curious, and they didn't know why the military people were so nervous, but when they saw another person as an accompaniment, when they saw the familiar gloomy face, the people in the military department were also unlucky, and many people dodged away.

The two of them didn't wait for the report, and walked directly to the door of the courtyard where Zhang Han was.

However, the two high-ranking and powerful officials were still blocked by Wu Qi in front of the door, and Wu Qi said politely: "Please wait a while, I will go and ask the lord." ”

Zhou Rui and the others originally wanted to get out of the way directly, but they came to their senses when they heard Wu Qi's words.

Jiang Yi had been arranging duty, and at this time he smiled coldly in his heart, and did not arrange for the special service personnel to exempt the two attachés from searching.

Prior to this, below the high-level, even Zhang Ziming had to be searched in advance when he entered the courtyard, and no one could make an exception.

This is the dead rule set by the secret guards, in order to prevent assassination, anyone who talks with Zhang Han at close range must be searched, and outsiders are searched more strictly, only when Zhang Han went to visit a few Mongolian living Buddhas, the guards just stood around and stood guards, and did not search the bodies of those living Buddhas, which was a special preferential treatment.

Originally, the secret service also had plans to search the high-level officials, but Zhang Han stopped it, if he had to take such precautions against his cronies' henchmen and high-level subordinates, then his boss would be too much of a failure.

If you get closer, you can notice the indifference under Zhou Yao's smiling face, and his eyes are really cold.

Yang Qiu's gaze was very flexible, he looked left and right, he had just arrived last night to bring some of the latest military intelligence reports.

"I've seen adults."

In front of Zhang Han, the two high-level executives with indifferent expressions were trying to put up smiles, but Zhou Yao's smile was quite stiff, as miserable as his smile, while Yang Qiu was more and more gloomy the more he smiled, like a ghost crawling out of the ground.

"Come on." Zhang Han said to Yang Qiu with some impatience: "I put on a gloomy face every day to scare people, and I can't laugh." ”

Yang Qiu said quite embarrassedly: "Actually, the subordinates are gentle and generous, but there is no way to do this job......"

Zhang Han nodded, not too embarrassed by this subordinate.

The deeds done by the Military Intelligence Department are all unseemly, and even the things that kidnap tickets have to be done, and the drugs are monitored and tracked under the pry door and lock, these things are all internal affairs, sending intelligence to receive intelligence, and buying off enemy personnel, all of which are shady deeds, and they have been doing these things for a long time, and all the leaders are subordinates who have done unsightly deeds, and only they are more gloomy when they want to live in the town, in Yang Qiu's words to Zhang Han, every day before going to bed, you have to think about whether you are showing your cowardice in front of your subordinates, this kind of life has been too long, and it is difficult not to be gloomy.

"My subordinates hope to unload this burden as soon as possible." Yang Qiu said with a sincere face: "Even if you are an attendant officer for your lord, it is much more comfortable than now." ”

"Well, I'll think about it, and now call your men in." Zhang Han turned to Zhou Yao and said, "You report first." ”

Both of them brought the latest information, Zhou Yao took the information handed over by his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, now our army is organized into eight dragoon battalions, including the third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh, each regiment has three brigades, each brigade has three battalions, and each battalion has four companies, which used to be overstaffed battalions, and now we cancel the number of the two shelf regiments that we built last year, and compile the redundant officers and personnel into each dragoon regiment, so that each battalion has a cavalry company, and the regiment has a cavalry artillery battalion directly under it, plus a combat engineer battalion, The regiment directly under the Chrysper Company, the Guards Company, and the Herald Company, each regiment has 41 companies, nearly 5,800 people, compared with the previous regiments, the newly formed regiments of our Military Training Department have about 1,500 more people, so that each regiment has its own combat effectiveness, and both mobility and firepower output are quite strong. The first, second, fourth, and twelfth regiments are still infantry battalions, which belong to the garrison forces in various places, and they also have a small number of cavalry companies, but more war horses have been adjusted to dragoon regiments, even so, the shortage of war horses in all dragoon regiments is about fifteen companies, that is, each regiment lacks 2,000 horses, and we hope to replenish 20,000 qualified war horses to each regiment within three months, otherwise it will affect the next step of the training plan...... If all goes well, the Military Training Department hopes to preliminarily complete the training of each regiment by the end of this year, and will be able to gradually discover and correct problems during the training, and eventually form a fairly mature training discipline. ”

Zhang Han didn't say a word when Zhou Yao spoke, and even he lit a cigarette, and the rest of the people did the same, lit a cigarette and began to smoke, and soon the layers were filled with smoke.

"In addition to the shortage of horses," Zhang Han said after listening, "I'm afraid the artillery is also insufficient, right?" ”

"So we used a lot of Tiger Squat and Mouth Guns instead of three- and four-pounder guns." Zhou Yao explained: "The military department's storage of this kind of small artillery is still quite sufficient, and we can secretly buy it from the border army, of course, what we want to buy is a very well-made production around the middle of Wanli, and we would rather spend effort to rearrange and repair it than buy the production from the late Wanli period to the Apocalypse...... That thing is not qualified to set off fireworks for children, it is too easy to blow up. ”

"There is no way to do this about artillery for the time being." Zhang Han said: "Everything is based on Taiwan. ”

"Yes." Zhou Yaodao: "The next step we want to do is to assist Taiwan in training jumping gang battles and broadside battles, but the military division is all northerners, what I think is that it is best for me to go and feel it on the spot, otherwise it will be a blind man touching an elephant, and there will be no way, and it will take a detour." ”

Zhang Han glanced at Zhou Yao with appreciation, this subordinate is not only very different from the pattern of the small border army back then, but even surpasses most of the senior generals in the military, so he is relieved to hand over hundreds of thousands of subordinates to this person for training, and under Zhou Yao's training, he will only become stronger, and will not disturb.

"Taiwan is not in a hurry, they have practiced very well...... I heard that you read until midnight every night? Zhang Han suddenly changed the topic and said to Zhou Yao: "Don't be too late, it hurts your eyes and your eyes." ”

Zhou Yao said in a grateful tone: "Thank you for your concern, but your subordinates have a thin foundation, and if you don't catch up, you won't be able to comprehend many of your measures, let alone be able to help." ”

"This is too, but in the end, you have to protect your body." Zhang Han said again: "Bayonets, short knives, daggers, short guns, are these all missing?" ”

"There is a shortage of all, at least about 20% of the shortage, and the most lacking is the bayonet."

"Cold weapons are easy to handle," Zhang Han pondered: "There is still no way to use bayonets, we have increased the number of manpower as much as possible, but in recent years, financial constraints have constrained our pace of expansion, but fortunately, this is a matter that can be completely solved in about half a year." After this adaptation, the rest is piecemeal, but there will be a large-scale conversion of pikemen to dragoons. ”

Since the beginning of emphasizing the output of firepower, that is, the aggressiveness of the troops, and the appearance of bayonets, everyone found that Zhang Han's assertion was right, the hollow phalanx composed of bayonets had a unique feature in defending against cavalry and infantry attacks, and the sharp bayonets had enough length after the fire gun casing, and the fire guns added bayonets to protect themselves under the enemy's cavalry formation, which was much more mobile and powerful than the mode of relying solely on the pikemen to only manage the fire output, and the number of pikemen was reduced by three to four percent, Each platoon of the queue is to increase the number of musketeers, which means that the firepower output has also increased a lot, and there are many troops that have been composed of pure musketeers, carrying sabers and bayonets, and have the ability to attack and protect themselves when encountering the enemy, plus the cavalry artillery formation, the firepower output is already much stronger than that of pure infantry regiments.
