His adjutant asked, "Drills, right?" ”

"Drill a bird. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Ren Jing glared and said: "I just entered the door and said that I wanted to fight, I don't understand, do you?" Listen to me, in addition to the convening of officers above the battalion level, there are two officers on duty in the military order department, ten secretaries, twenty heralds, twenty staff officers, and ten logistics quartermasters, all of whom have transferred the best manpower from various departments, and the military commander is the daily officer, and the management staff officer, the military and political quartermaster logistics personnel, the soldiers, the engineers, and the artillery, all the departments have sent the military order secretary and the daily liaison herald to come, within an hour, all the personnel are in place, and the location is at the regiment headquarters, this time not only our ninth regiment is out, but also the people of the third dragoon regiment, the second battalion of the chasseurs, The cavalry artillery battalion and the lancers seem to have a company, and each part belongs to a different formation, and it is unified under the headquarters of the Western Expedition...... If you don't hurry up, all departments have to run to urge the personnel to be in place! ”

"Yes, subordinates go immediately!"

The adjutant was also trained by Ren Jing, and he had a good style of vigorous and resolute action, and when he heard about so many things, his scalp was numb, but he didn't complain bitterly, but after saluting, he immediately took someone to do something.

Xia Xiping also finished eating, drinking tea and smiling at the scene in front of him.

This is the daily life in the merchant army, explain the good things, give the overall goal of the war, and then the staff department draws up a plan, according to the enemy situation learned, and then according to the map and sand table deduction, taking into account the surrounding geography and the combat power of each tribe, draw up the final battle plan, and then the military order is issued, involving the unified deployment and command of all branches of the military and each department, it is like the present, each ministry sends the commander and secretary, staff officer, and quartermaster officer to join the command together to coordinate the unified action of the various departments, and Ren Jing is only responsible for the overall military order as the supreme commander, and will not command very specific and detailed.

In this era, there is no way to convey information too directly and finely, the battle system of the merchant army has been relatively very advanced, compared to the Ming army, the governor and governor as the commander-in-chief, relying on the staff around to do things, whether it is to the emperor and the military department above, or the commander below is to communicate and give command to civilian staff, the overall command of the various departments is also quite large, even rough and absurd, Yang Hao's command of the battle of Salhu is a very obvious example, It took half a year from the pre-war mobilization to the arrival of troops, and then the cooperation between the logistics system and the troops, which were honed in the continuous dispatch of troops to fight wars and large-scale military training in peacetime, quite efficient and stable, like the Ming army, which was covered by the local government and the government, there was no food to eat on the same day, and there was no food to eat on the third day, and the logistics system that was opened on the third day and had no food to eat was only cited as a joke in the merchant army, and some missionaries were shocked when they heard about it, even if Europe is not strong now, But the logistical supply of such a tragic Middle Ages as the Ming Dynasty is indeed a wonder in the world.

Xia Xiping nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied.

Ren Jing is also the head of the old army, Wanli forty-six years ago followed Wang Changfu to serve, starting from the dart division all the way over, first fighting in groups, and then exterminating bandits and horse thieves, and then fighting with the north, in six or seven years there was almost no idleness, and unlike the generals of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the senior generals of the merchant group officials have a very high level of education, even if they were old and coarse who did not know a big word before this, under so many years of continuous high-intensity learning, they also made up for the lesson of culture.

The rules set by Zhang Han are so simple, what kind of cultural level can be reached, what level of officer can be achieved, and there are other standards, such as physical fitness, combat skills, military merits, and qualifications, but after these are all achieved, you have to talk about cultural standards, you can't pass the officer test, and Tianwang Laozi is also in vain, don't want to be an officer in the merchant army.

With rich experience, a fairly high standard of military science, and a fairly tacit understanding between various military departments, a fairly lean and reasonably configured headquarters was set up under the organization and command of experienced senior officers.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there are already officers from the regimental headquarters with soldiers to start tidying up the room, of course, there is no need to bother too much, according to Ren Jing's deployment is the day after tomorrow, mainly the ninth regiment and the cavalry battalion stationed in the city, lancers and chasseurs, and dragoons are stationed on a hundreds of miles long front, if you want the departments to coordinate together, it will take at least three days to converge together, it will take about seven to ten days, of course, it is not a straight-line activity of the various departments, according to Ren Jing's planning and coordination, of course, there is also the help of the sand table map, The routes of the various divisions were different, and it should have been almost possible to converge near enemy territory after ten days, rather than ten days for the divisions to converge near Kulen.

"How to fight this battle appropriately, Brother Xia, tell me about it?"

In less than half an hour, the simple combat conference room had been arranged, and the officers were all ordered to arrive, a pair of riding boots stood shiny in the room, there were no chairs in the room, the officers were all standing straight, only Ren Jing, Xia Xiping, and Li Anping could sit down.

Looking at this style in front of him, Xia Xiping was in his heart, sure enough, each chief officer has a different style, Yang Sisun is fine and gentle, Zhou Yao Zhou Yan Wang, Li Zhiye Mian hides needles, Wang Yikui has rich experience in warfare, some don't pay much attention to small sections, Li Laibin is a little mediocre and lacks characteristics, Li Shouxin is cautious and old-fashioned, one step at a time...... Ren Jing is brave and daring to fight, similar to Duo'er, but Duo'er doesn't talk about pomp, when she is happy, she eats mutton in a pot with the soldiers, and she scolds her mother when she is unhappy, and there is no shelf, the two are completely different in this regard.

"The commander is polite, and I don't dare to be under it." Recently, it has been rumored that Li Yao will be transferred to the political officer of the Phi Dao Marching Division, once Li Yao, a cautious and veteran chief of staff, leaves, Xia Xiping will be the successor, and he will be the chief officer, especially the officers of several important divisions, and his status is naturally above the regimental command.

However, Xia Xiping is a junior in the final analysis, when Ren Jing was already a military attache at the general level, Xia Xiping, Li Gui and others were still underage students, and seniority was still useful in the army, Xia Xiping showed his respect for his predecessors as much as possible.

Ren Jing looked rude, but in fact, his eyes were indifferent, he was very satisfied with Xia Xiping's attitude, nodded slightly, and said: "Officer Xia doesn't have to be polite, let's go straight to the military style." ”

"Okay." Xia Xiping stood up, pointed to a large ellipse circled with a red pen on the map, and said, "How to fight?" There are two methods, one is to go straight from the north along the Seleng River, and then rush straight to the south, burn, kill and loot, and beat his mother, so that the people of this tribe will no longer dare to fight their wings. Another way is to divide the troops and make dumplings. ”

Ren Jing was silent, and the commander of a brigade said to Xia Xiping: "What does Xia Siguan mean is that the north road will take the Selenga River, and the south road will take the Halatai River, and the two roads will attack, forming a pincer attack, and enveloping the Chotu River?" ”

"Yes!" Xia Xiping said: "If you rush over directly, it will be difficult to achieve the strategic goal of annihilating this department and deterring most of the Tangnu Wulianghai tribe as required by the adults. As you know, we fought very smoothly in Mobei, and the chaser battalion seriously deterred the high-level of the various departments in Mobei, but when we allied with the Three Khans, there were still quite a few Taiji who were not convinced, which made the three departments of Mobei have to carry out a small-scale purge internally. If it had been a great war like the one in Tumut, the change of hearts would have been very different. But the Tu Khan Department, the strength of the various departments in Mobei is quite strong, it can be said that it is not much worse than the three tribes of Mobei, take them away, only let them run all the way to Qinghai, Hetao, continue to cause chaos for us, if you can annihilate most of it, even if the Tu Khan and the nobles run away, it doesn't matter, their pastures can be distributed to the small tribes that surrender to us, in addition to the Zasaktu Department has contact, there are quite a lot of small tribes, to support, at least in the north can bury a nail, This makes it easier for us to implement our strategy in the future to the Western Regions and Qinghai......"

"This is Lord Zhang's consideration for the next ten or even twenty years...... Ren Jing said coldly: "When we are soldiers, we think about how to fight the war, according to the meaning of Officer Xia, we must allocate troops when we march, and we will face greater pressure on supplies and liaison with various departments...... But I mean the same as Judge Xia......"

Ren Jing punched the table and said angrily: "If you want to do it, you have to do it big, and you have to do it beautifully, I mean that you want to fight according to the strategy that Xia Siguan said!" ”

……

It was late at night, and light rain fell from time to time.

This grassland is a dense area of seas, and large and small seas are like blue bubbles, falling on this endless land.

Knee-length meadows, dense water nets, dark and unpredictable fronts open and endless, the sky occasionally swept by lightning, and in the mud and icy rain, a gray-robed army struggled ahead, like a long snake that snaked its way forward.

A military officer led a horse like a soldier, his face was covered with rain, but fortunately he was dressed in oil clothes like a soldier, and he still maintained the most basic dryness, and this military officer roared loudly: "What is the name of your battalion?" ”

"Dragoons!"

More than seven hundred soldiers replied together, their voices dull and penetrating in the rain, piercing through the dark firmament and into the far distance.

"What are dragoons?"

"Iron horses gallop, meet the enemy like a dragon!"

"How do dragoons fight?"

"The battle must be won, and the attack must be overcome!"

"What's the matter with a man joining the army?"

"Defend the family and the country!"

"Good!" The military and political officer was greatly satisfied, and shouted: "The dragoons and lancers are all brothers, and the brothers of the dragoons are also good. ”

"Serve the adults!"

This time, not only the dragoons shouted, but another team of about 300 people marching on the side also shouted.

This time the military officer finally stopped, he went back and forth to encourage morale, because the march was difficult, the military and political officer had to pay more toil, the lightning and thunder in the distance did not stop, and the electric light pierced the sky, very conspicuous.
