Chapter 106 Preparations
As night falls, unlike the usual silence, the Jintaifang camp is extremely noisy at this moment.
The sound of the collision of soldiers and armor, the sound of rapid footsteps, and the sound of mixed shouts. Looking around, the entire camp could see a hot and noisy scene everywhere.
The entire Yongwei Battalion, more than 10,000 soldiers, had completely changed into a state of preparation for war with the issuance of a military order from Li Xiu.
More than ten thousand soldiers went to war, so it was not as simple as rushing out with a simple order.
As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass move first.
Nowadays, what Li Xiu can do is to transform the entire Yongwei Camp and more than 10,000 soldiers from daily training to a state where he can go on a war at any time.
This is nothing to the entire Yongwei Battalion. In all aspects, after Li Xiu was promoted to the head of Yongwei Battalion, he had already practiced many times.
Nowadays, it is just like usual, I have gone through many procedures again.
After the program is completed, you have to wait for news from the court.
Whether it is mobilizing civil servants, raising food and grass, or ordering and arrangements for counties and cities in the marching and combat areas, all of them are extremely complicated and complicated.
And all this is indispensable before an army sets off.
If one of these is missing, if you are not careful, it will lead to a global collapse.
In this Ming Dynasty, the Tumu Fort change was the best historical lesson.
The accumulation of the three generations has trembled the elites in the northern desert. Under the magical operation of Zhu Jiaomen, all the devastations were almost ruined by the state.
One of the biggest reasons is that Zhu Zhaimen's pig brain is really not good. He slapped his head and was about to go out to fight. He thought he was wise and powerful. There were hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the Beijing camp, but he was not prepared for the constitution system. Zhu Zhaimen ignored the obstruction of civil and military officials and pulled them all out!
Children are not so stupid to play house!
Nowadays, although there are only more than 10,000 soldiers in the Yongwei Camp, Li Xiu estimated that with the current officials in the court, the preparations for the Yongwei Camp's expedition will not be completed within half a month.
Although Li Xiu knew that there was still so long, he didn't plan to wait. After all, this time, he was not simply going to the expedition. He also had his own plan, which was how to effectively and concealedly expand the troops of the Yongwei Battalion.
This is actually not too difficult compared to the special nature of the Yongwei Camp.
Since the military system evolved and completed, any army in ancient and modern times has been composed of three parts during wartime.
That is the war soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and civilians.
The war soldiers are responsible for frontal combat, while the auxiliary soldiers cooperate with the war soldiers to fight. When necessary, they can also be included in the war barracks to make up for the damage to the war barracks, enrich their troops, or be responsible for the operation of the logistics system, etc.
The civil servants are recruited to transport food and grass, and do all the dirty and tiring work.
The Yongwei Battalion, due to its special status as a personal army and the original value of Emperor Tianqi, led to the entire Yongwei Battalion, with more than 10,000 soldiers, all of them were fighting soldiers, without a single auxiliary soldier.
Under such circumstances, it is not difficult for the other dynasties to interfere in the Yongwei Battalion and expand the auxiliary army.
But Li Xiu naturally did not simply want to expand a group of scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers.
This time, except for the establishment and military pay, everything else is planned to directly compete with the Yongwei Camp war soldiers.
In this way, the ordnance and armor naturally need to be prepared in advance.
This time, Li Xiu not only sent people to the military war many times to urge him to send troops, armor and weapons, but even prepared to bring all the family assets accumulated by the Yongwei Camp during this period.
Since war is inevitable, let’s make good use of the upcoming so-called battles to suppress the thieves!
Training with war.
With blood, the foundation of his brave guard camp was poured out!
The night is long.
The camp was still in full swing, and busy and orderly preparations for the pre-war were still underway. Li Xiu was dressed in military uniform and inspected every part of the camp.
Although the opponent was just a vulnerable peasant army, the famous generals' lifelong military experience clearly told Li Xiu one truth, that is, a lion fights a rabbit, and also uses all his strength!
Soldiers are no trivial matters. As long as the war is turned on, it will be bloody and storm. Any mistake will immediately affect the overall situation. If you are not careful, it will collapse on the whole line and you will be unable to make a comeback!
No matter who the opponent is, as long as he stands on the enemy, it is worth his all-out effort!
"You should do it gently! This is all gunpowder!"
"Don't be stubborn, just cover it with a tart cloth..."
In the arsenal of the Daying, there were dense rows of frames neatly arranged, hundreds of soldiers shuttled between the frames and the warehouses, and brought various types of armies onto the frames.
"The last general will meet with the general!"
Seeing Li Xiu walking along the dragon, the sound of shouting and shouting came to an abrupt end. The general ran over quickly, half-kneeled on the ground, clasped his fists and made a sound.
“How prepared?”
Li Xiu glanced at the frame that was still mostly vacant in front of him and asked casually.
"Report to the general, the loading will be completed before noon tomorrow!"
"Um."
Li Xiu nodded, lifted a piece of oil cloth and looked at the ordnance that had been loaded under the oil cloth.
The Ming army attached great importance to firearms, so the same was true for the Yongwei Camp. Even when Wei Zhongxian was in power, he attached great importance to firearms.
After Zhu Youjian ascended the throne and Li Xiu took power, his attention to firearms was further improved. However, in this era when martial arts was a reality, Li Xiu naturally would not give up on the popularization of martial arts.
Today's Yongwei Camp can be said to be a combination of firearms and martial arts.
But compared with weapons, logistical supplies, and even maintenance of firearms, it is undoubtedly much more cumbersome.
For example, in this arsenal, most of the ordnances are firearms, and these frames are naturally mainly firearms.
After glanced at the firearms neatly stacked in accordance with regulations on the frame, Li Xiu was about to put down the oil cloth, but his eyes suddenly fixed on the musket in the wooden box on one side of the frame.
At this moment, the originally serious expression suddenly became gloomy.
Seeing Li Xiu's expression change, the general standing beside Li Xiu's side also subconsciously trembled. Just as he was about to say something, Li Xiu suddenly raised his hand and lifted the oil cloth. The originally covered frame was completely revealed in front of the soldiers.
This action immediately brought the eyes of the soldiers present.
Li Xiu stepped forward and picked up a musket from the wooden box, looked at it, and when he looked up, there was a strong murderous intent between his eyebrows!
As soon as I stepped out, I heard a crisp sound of tearing and another frame full of ordnance was revealed.
"Okay, okay, brave enough, brave enough!"
Chapter completed!
