Zhang Han changed the topic and asked Tang Ruowang, "Have the results of the calculation of the twelve-pounder cannon come out?" ”

"The most detailed results are not yet available. "Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tang Ruowang said energetically: "But there are preliminary results, on the normal road, the march can reach forty miles a day, the horses and personnel will not be too tired, if you want to march quickly, you can be faster." On dilapidated official roads or narrow roads, the maximum number of marches per day is twenty miles, and if you are walking on the muddy wasteland in front of you, ten to fifteen miles a day is the limit. ”

Zhang Han nodded thoughtfully, the situation in the northern grassland is definitely stronger than the current one, but it seems that it is the level of fifteen to twenty miles of marching in a day.

Relatively speaking, this speed is about the same as the speed of the Ming army's march, that is, the heavy artillery team walks as fast as the ordinary infantry, and even the artillery team is faster than the Ming infantry.

He Yusheng's infantry march required forty miles a day, a rapid march was sixty miles a day, and a forced march was eighty miles a day.

There were once troops who reached the level of one hundred and twenty miles a day, but Zhang Han did not encourage it, this level of marching would cause the troops to lose their physical strength and spirit in the next few days, which could only affect the next step of the battle.

The next step was to ration and draw up some training plans according to the speed of the artillery, Zhang Han nodded to the group of missionaries, and at the same time told Zhang Shixiong his thoughts, as a military attaché, Zhang Shixiong was responsible for daily recording of Zhang Han's instructions and ideas related to the army, and then handed them over to the military department and the army to execute.

……

Zhang Han returned to the signing room and began to deal with official business, and several attendants kept taking the official documents and then handed them over to Zhang Han for processing.

All military divisions will directly deal with some official business that follows the process, but Zhang Han still has a lot of things on his desk.

After the daily official business was approved, more than an hour passed.

Wu Qi, the attendant, brought in the food box and said with a smile: "When the adults missed the meal today, Mrs. sent someone to bring the food boxes, saying that they are all dishes that adults love to use, and the person who came also said that Mrs. was not very happy......

Zhang Han was happy and a little worried.

It seems that Chang Ning's pregnancy reaction has been a little serious recently, and he seems to be nagging more than before, and this time he must be talking non-stop, making his head big.

"Over there in Taiwan, there is just an urgent ...... coming" Wu Qi hesitated and said: "It's a trivial matter, saying that although the weather is warm over there, it has been raining for months recently, and it is too time-consuming for big wood to dry naturally, if you can, you need to build some drying rooms to dry wood, and the wood that is dried out will save a considerable amount of time than natural drying, and it will cost a lot of ......."

Speaking of this, Wu Qi also stretched out his head and looked outside, Tian Jitang's financial department had a signing room in the left wing room outside the house, and the Finance Bureau was originally part of the Attendant Division, Wu Qi was very afraid that Tian Jitang would come to Zhang Han to say something nervous about money with a straight face.

Zhang Han first looked at the plate in front of him, it was indeed what he liked to eat, they were all exquisite side dishes, Zhang Han was eating, and said to Wu Qi who stretched out his head to probe his brain: "Lao Tian will not look for trouble, he is in a good mood now." ”

Wu Qi didn't go out with him in the morning, when another attendant told him about the morning with a smile.

"I see." Wu Qi's white face was also full of smiles, and he said: "As soon as I heard that I can earn a lot more money in a year, Uncle Tian may not be happy." ”

"I'll approve the matter of the drying room in a while." Zhang Han ate noodles in a hurry, ate side dishes, and said with a smile: "The necessary investment cannot be savory." ”

Wu Qi laughed and said, "Zhou Da said that if the adults are free, see him ......."

"Uncle Zhou?" Zhang Han stopped his chopsticks and said in surprise: "He was there on the day Yu Niangsheng was the boss, is this from Xinpingbao to Lizhuang again?" ”

Zhang Han frowned again and said, "Uncle Zhou is not busy, and he won't come here if he has nothing to do." ”

The Chamber of Commerce and Yusheng Commercial Bank merged and restructured into a company, the original directors of some chambers of commerce were directly appointed as directors, the original commercial bank is still called a commercial bank, under the company's business, Zhou Fengji also became a director of the company, but according to the distribution or management and Yusheng Commercial Bank, and other local chambers of commerce set up branches, completely merge the original business with Yusheng, and then in the form of branches to carry out business operations around the country, and even the division will have military and intelligence departments, but separate from the pure commercial department.

Before the complete merger, Zhou Fengji still has to manage the business of the firm with Yusheng, this part of the matter is not too much, the firm is only responsible for buying and selling, which is much simpler than the business of the entire company, but even so, Zhou Fengji will not be idle enough to run to Li Zhuang when he has nothing to do.

"I don't know much about that." Wu Qi said apologetically: "The subordinates didn't ask clearly." ”

"How many days have you been?"

"It's been two or three days, and this application is pressed on the General Affairs Bureau, and I saw it today and returned it to the adults."

"Oh, got it." Zhang Han thought for a while and asked, "How many people are there who want to see me?" ”

"It's too much." Wu Qi said: "The military department can only be arranged according to the importance of distant relatives and the company, some guests have been here for seven or eight days, and some are not qualified to meet at all, but there are also those who are persuaded not to be far away, and there are many who live here for ten days and a half to see if there is no hope to leave." ”

There are a lot of inexplicable people who come to see Zhang Han, and there are quite a few people who can't play with each other and come to ask to see, and they don't want to leave if they don't see it, at the beginning, the military department still entertained these people with good food and drink, and later found out that there are quite a few bold lords among them, and some of them are charlatans, seeing Zhang Han's great cause here and wanting to run to cheat a few flowers, these people are generally beaten away, and those inexplicable people were originally entertained with meals, and then it was a cup of tea every day, the tea is not changed, and the tea can be continued, Some people spend a day with a cup of tea, and they don't know what to do.

There are even some Jianghu warlocks or Luotuo scholars who feel that they have learned the dragon slaying technique and the emperor technique, poor and sour talents, who come to say some proverbs and the like mysteriously, as soon as they encounter this, they will immediately be beaten in a sack, and then sent by carriage to the Lingqiu Mountain a hundred and ten miles away, and they will find a way to go home.

…… In the evening, the weather suddenly changed, and the dark clouds completely obscured the sun, and the sky was dark, and it seemed like snow was about to fall.

Zhang Han went to the barracks again before dark, and saw Wang Changfu and Liang Xing and others, Ren Jing was also there, and when he saw Zhang Han, he came forward to salute, grinning and saying: "Thank you for your trust, I will go to Xinghe Fort tomorrow morning." ”

"Liang Xing explained to you, right?"

"Liang Tou'er has explained the situation over there," Ren Jing said solemnly: "Before Xinghe Fort was Liang Tou'er and Mr. Li, even when it was the most dangerous, the northern captives did not dare to attack, if the subordinates went, they would never let Xinghe Fort lose, if there was a negative trust, take their lives to resist." ”

Zhang Han punched this person with a smile and said: "What do you want you to do, the north of Xinghe Fort is to repair Shangyi Fort and Erlonghe Fort, your task is not only to protect Xinghe Fort, but also to protect the safety of the people and soldiers who will repair the fort after the beginning of spring." In addition, the choice of the fort guard, the number of troops and the number of artillery, it is up to you to make a decision in the north according to the actual situation...... The big policy is carried out on the side of the military division, and the small fine-tuning, transfer, and small-scale encounters and sabotage battles are all your business. ”

Ren Jing has been listening silently, and only after listening to it did he say to Zhang Han: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter of fighting is to be careful in peacetime, understand the enemy's situation before the war, and in wartime, according to the enemy's situation, use my strength to attack the enemy's weakness, no matter what strategy, it is a tactical accumulation, before the big victory, there must be continuous small victories, morale is accumulated from this, the enemy is frustrated because of this, subordinates must be careful in everything, but they will not be unenterprising." ”

"Okay," Zhang Han greatly appreciated and praised: "Ren Jing is guarding the rear, and is also in charge of the military academy and the training of the new army, so it seems that he has made a lot of progress." ”

"Hehe...... Ren Jing touched his huge head and confessed: "In the last year, I learned a lot in the military academy. ”

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Xinghe Fort is responsible for Shangyi Fort and several forts in the north, the area is very large, and in the face of intact Karaqin, the pressure is greater than that of the big and small Heihe, although it faces Qingcheng and Bansheng City, and faces the Tumut Department, but everyone knows that the current Tumut is a mess of scattered sand, and it is not enough to worry at all.

However, there are several forts to be repaired in the southwest, it is estimated that it will be in the second half of this year or next year, the strength of the set over there is intact, and the cavalry of more than 100,000 people can be mobilized.

Liang Xing will be sent to Xiaohehe Fort to be responsible for the defense of the set and the offensive against the Tumut department in the second half of the year.

Wang Changfu will stay in Lizhuang and take charge of the newly established Military Training Department, which will not only be as simple as training new soldiers, but will also conduct a good job of allocating the officers of each new regiment on a daily basis, and will preside over the cooperation of the officers and sum up various experiences in the daily work, form rules and regulations, and carry out guiding work for the large-scale expansion of the army in the future.

Wang Changfu was responsible for the training of new dart divisions when he was in Xinpingbao, and he had sufficient experience, and this time he presided over the military training department was also expected, of course, his position was higher than that of ordinary officers, and the company's director position plus a large share quota should be enough to satisfy him.

When Zhang Han was talking and chatting with the officers, the school field was still in full swing, although the sky was dark, but the time had not yet come, even if it snowed, they could not be closed, the middle and lower officers were urging the sergeants, the sergeants were working hard with the recruits to practice, the new army infantry was constantly practicing various steps on the school field, the recruits of more than one month were mainly based on physical fitness, and two months were mainly based on mastering weapons and changing tactical arrays on the battlefield.

The most eye-catching thing on the school field is the cavalry training, in recent months it has been mainly to train new ironclad cavalry, they are constantly riding horses back and forth on the school field, sprinting, sprinting, detouring, marching, sprinting.

As long as there is a slight confusion in the ranks, the officers are angry, everyone must line up the ranks neatly, and each cavalry must always cooperate with the array when charging, not only each cavalry must be only one step apart in the horizontal line, and the speed of the cavalry charge should be the same, the team must always be aligned in the horizontal row, the difference can not exceed half the body of the horse, more emphasis on each other's cooperation, trust, and neat queues, the courage to face the enemy cavalry to dare to face the enemy cavalry, all of this adds up, Together with the daily riding training and saber fighting training, it is the ironclad cavalry of Yusheng who is famous and famous, and the northern captives who fled from the wind!

It will be late, the family came to report, Sun Anle, Chang Jinquan, Chang Jin has a Fuzhong, they are to visit the eldest son who has just been full moon, Chang Jin also went to the copper mine in the north after a year, and just came back after staying for more than ten days, Chang Jinquan was in his hometown in Shanxi before, and he just returned to Xinpingbao not long after.

Zhang Han didn't stay any longer when he heard the news, all of them came to be respectful, two uncles, one uncle is still a legitimate father-in-law, and half of the father-in-law and the company's directors, there is no reason to be lazy.
