"There are also fifty long slings, ten bows, twenty large horizontal swords, ten shields, and ten armors." Zhang Junxu smiled and said, "These are in the baggage camp. You all have such numbers, but if you fight hard and hard battles, of course you can still apply for more payments."

Lu Wenluo nodded, his face very serious.

As a martial artist and a warrior, of course, he hopes to fight more tough battles, the better. As a military officer, he also hopes to make more military achievements.

For example, when you are pulling the city, climbing first is the first merit, and there is nothing else to say.

Nine out of ten people will die, and those with excellent martial arts and excellent skills must have luck to survive on the city. After breaking the city, their military achievements will be the first.

If it comes from the perspective of brothers in robe, Lu Wenluo certainly does not want his brothers to experience a life-long war.

This is a contradiction and dilemma, and it is also a necessary path for a soldier to become an officer.

Zhang Junxu didn't understand these things very well, and just said casually, and then continued: "One hundred whetstones, one hundred small knives, one hundred wraps, one hundred spare water bags, one hundred grain stones, one thousand smoked fish, one thousand kilograms of meat, three thousand canned food. These are also in the baggage camp, so we won't issue them first, but you have to sign and enter the account."

At this time, all military supplies, including leggings, have been calculated clearly. Horses and carriages, and many tools have been distributed directly or used. More grains, such as Qianshi grain, are actually stewed and refined grains, which can be eaten as long as they are slightly heated or boiled with water. After many processes, the rice is steamed and dried and dehydrated, and it is not prone to rot and deterioration. Qianshi refined grains, the grain that more than 100 people need to eat every day is set as three pounds of staple food, half a pound in the morning and two pounds at noon. For the middle-aged men in the past, this quantity is actually relatively low.

During the busy farming period, it is normal for farmers to eat four to five kilograms of staple food a day.

The quantification of the soldiers of the government army is relatively low because there is a lot of meat. Each meal is full of morning and evening. The daily quantity is four taels of meat, and a small spoon of oil is also a fixed quantity of oil. If the oil and water and meat are sufficient, the intake of staple food can naturally be reduced.

"All received." Lu Wenluo smiled and signed. Of course, his handwriting was erratic and inconsistent. However, the military man could read and write because of the literacy class run by the army. Many people originally couldn't read a few big words, let alone write.

"I don't know when the troops will be started?" Zhang Juncheng said in a hurry. This is the most common sentence in the army recently. After saying that, without waiting for Lu Wenluo to respond, he bowed with fists and smiled: "The first city has been handed over, and the second city has to go to the third city, all of which are the duties of the subordinates."

"Brother Zhang, go and do your business." Lu Wenluo returned the salute with his fists and watched the quarantine leave in a hurry.

Behind Luwenluo is a capital's territory, covering an area of ​​about ten acres, most of which are fenced stables.

Sixty miscellaneous horses are really as the military officer named Zhang said. Most of them are young and strong horses around five or six years old, and there are miscellaneous horses in their teens. They are still in their prime, and it will take a few more years to be considered old horses.

The age of a horse is mainly based on the mouth, the wear of teeth, and the details, and it is easy to see the age of a horse.

On both sides of the horse bar are vertical tents, made of cowhide or deer skin, most of which are deer skin.

There were more than 110 people in each of them, but there were more than 20 tents. In addition to the tents where people lived, various iron tools, grain, meat, fish, canned food, military weapons, and these materials were also placed in the tents.

When camping, first build the stable, at least a wooden fence is used to form a space with a grate and a tart cloth is used. This is the simplest stable.

Then pull and spread the cloth manger, pour the essence into the horse.

More than 60 mixed horses, of different colors, stood quietly in the horse pen. They knew the time to start their meal, and it was not yet time, so they were not in a hurry.

The manger is unfolded and some hay is placed. The horses have a lot of time to eat every day. They eat hay slowly, as if they are killing time.

War horses are precious, and the value of miscellaneous horses is only one-tenth of that of war horses, but raising them is also quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.

You need to feed essence. In addition to feeding, you also have to feed a few eggs every day.

Otherwise, if you pull a cart and walk every day, you don’t have enough feeding and eat well, you will start to lose weight after a few days, and if you get a miscellaneous horse, you will start to die after ten days.

Even if you eat well, as long as you use it hard, the miscellaneous horses will die.

For example, if you fight a battle of more than ten days, and travel a thousand miles, you may die a few horses.

If you are traveling thousands of miles, such as from Fujian Road to the capital, you will fight all the way, and after half a year, these sixty horses will survive half of them, even if you have raised them, you will have a very good grade.

Usually, you have to polish your hooves to remove impurities from your horse's hooves and wash them with clean water. Otherwise, the horse will easily get sick. These things must be done with the chores of the camp. The soldiers will rest when they have time, polish weapons, test bow strength, practice archery, or equipment pairs. It is good to lie down and maintain their strength.

Horses were neighing around, and donkeys were raising their thunder.

There are more than 60 horses in each, plus a large number of mixed horses from the baggage engineering barracks. Even if the Zhongshan Palace in the Dongfan has been buying war horses and mixed horses, the number of horses is quite insufficient.

In addition, there are a large number of miscellaneous horses used to cultivate the land, which can only be called part of them and cannot be brought into the army.

Purchasing oxen is not easy. At the beginning of Zheng's development, he wanted to buy a large number of oxen, but found that he could not buy much even if he had money.

.The number of ox plowing in the north is far higher than that in the south. At that time, there were no thousands of cows in Fujian. If you have money, you will be helpless.

The purchase plan of the Dongfan was due to the smooth sea routes and the prosperous trade. From the north, Liangzhe, Jinghu and north, Jinghu, and from all over the country, plus the large number of war horses purchased from the north, as well as the heavenly species and horses, this is why the current prosperity is now.

Even so, there were more than 60 mixed horses in Yidu, and the war horses used to report and send commands, there were still a lot of gaps. Mules or donkeys had to be replaced. The first was the most elite, and there were many strong people like Lu Wenluo, so the rations were not only all horses, but also all mixed horses with strong mouths.

Lu Wenluo glanced around and felt quite satisfied.

Mixed horses are very useful. Everyone's personal belongings, food, weapons, miscellaneous items, and tents are placed on large horse-drawn carts. There are some weapons that can be used for use, such as long scepters, arrows, and archers. There is no war, but when marching, it is too burdensome to carry on the body and has sufficient transportation capacity. Some items are placed on the carriage, some items are held on the horse-drawn carriage, and some are held on the horse-drawn carriage. It is quite suitable to place two horses in a team of weapons.

With these miscellaneous horses, everyone can save their physical strength when marching, and their condition will be better when they go to the battlefield!

In addition, when someone is injured, each city, the ward and team have medicines to carry with him. The first step of debridement and bleeding can be treated first without waiting for the medical officer to arrive. If you have some injuries, you can treat them a few minutes early, and the final result may be completely different.

After the test was completed, Lu Wenluo also sighed and reached out and pressed his face.

This kind of thing makes him feel tired than wearing armor and killing ten or eight enemies.

"Finally, it's done." Lu Wenluo had to be responsible for distributing the materials. First, he had his own military officers, and he also signed and distributed the files with Lu Wenluo. The whistlemen at the bottom also signed and collected the items. After the calculation was made, all kinds of military rations and equipment would be distributed in place.

"We are all fastest in the first place." A whistleman smiled and said, "Lu Dutou, this is also your reputation, so the military officers in the camp are particularly taking care of. Not only are there enough horses, but they are all young and strong, and all kinds of utensils and military rations are sufficient."

Lu Wenluo stared and said, "Nothing else is enough?"

“Not all are in place yet.”

"The bosses and prostitutes are doing things very quickly, and they should be all in one or two days at most."

Lu Wenluo nodded slightly. Among the cardinal bosses such as Li Yi, the one who the soldiers admired and trusted the most was of course Qin Dongyang, the representative of the military, and the commander of the current First Army.

All standards for the preparation for the military are based on the highest level. In addition to the horses, mules and donkeys issued to each capital, there are also various equipment, and military ration reserves are prepared at the highest level.

The various equipment, medicinal materials, grain and reserves carried by the engineering and supplies battalion are also extremely abundant. The minimum standard is for the army to be self-sufficient for about three months.

If the war continues, it is quite normal to fight for two or three months. After one and a half months, the Dongfan will continue to provide assistance and maintain the reserves of military rations and equipment on a certain basic line.

This is also the difference between the Zhongshan Palace and the Imperial Army and the Xiang Army.

The barracks were full of neighing and shouting from mules, horses and donkeys, and there were also people walking around. There were the bases of the Second and Third Army not far away, and the general situation was similar.

The entire Dongfan seemed to be moving, making final preparations for the infantry of the three armies before going to the battlefield.

Lu Wenluo clenched his fists, and the crackling sound came from his knuckles. He smiled and said to everyone around him: "If you stay idle, your bones will rust. Hurry up and send troops, so you can fight happily!"

Everyone around them all felt the same. Anyway, they had to go to war, so waiting would make it even more difficult. Moreover, after going into battle, they would have military achievements and gain a better position after expanding the army.

Now he is the sentry officer, and he may be the Dutou in a few months. Now he is the Dutou. He may be the battalion commander or even the regiment commander at the end of the year!

Military merits are the first, and generous treatment is the first. Everything in front of you is more generous than that of the imperial guards. Everything in the Dongfan is provided to soldiers. In the words of the King of Zhongshan, it is the responsibility of the people to raise their soldiers. The soldiers fight on the battlefield, protect the country and protect the people. Since this is the case, go into battle earlier and fight with the thief, which is worth the hard work of life!

"The King of Zhao is about to send troops." The military officer of the First Capital smiled and said, "Maybe the thieves will be settled, and we will waste our efforts."

Lu Wenluo glanced at the clerk and said, "If what you said is true, wait for the table at Zuixian Tower, please."

...

"There's a fucking mess again..."

Li Anyuan cursed, with a helpless expression on his face.

An aide said, "Fortunately, the rioters cannot cross the river without ships, otherwise our Qizhou will not be spared."

Due to the serious lack of military supplies and insufficient wages and equipment, the Xiang army had long been driven to camp outside Fuzhou City. Even so, there were frequent chaos. The people in the surrounding villages were not disturbed by the bandits, but were very harmful to the soldiers of the Xiang army who were responsible for defending the territory.

Originally, the Xiang army was also a passerby in Fujian, so it shouldn't have been a disaster on the road, but the Xiang army was resentful. Not only did the generals unable to suppress the rush, but they no longer had to worry about the feelings of the countryside.

Opposite Qizhou are two towns, more than 20 villages. They have been harassed by the Xiang army before. This time, in front of Li Anyuan, the soldiers of the Xiang army rushed in and drove away the strong men from the village.

Then robbed.

Any valuable items, including bedding, robes, cabinets, grain, jars, and iron utensils, are carried away.

Several buildings at the entrance of the village were lit. Most of these buildings were made of straw, rammed earth and a small amount of bricks and stone. The cost was very low. It could only be built with three main houses and two small courtyards with side rooms. It would not be as beautiful as it was, and it was very uncomfortable. Because it was low, the roof was often repaired, otherwise it would leak.

People don’t have much money at home, they only have daily living utensils, copper coins or gold and silver jewelry, which are almost impossible to see.

This is still near Fuzhou City. The people are still wealthy, and they all have their own courtyards and certain furniture items. If they have been replaced by remote places or poor places like Yunnan and Guizhou, there is almost nothing else except a thatched hut with a roof and a bed for sleeping people.

The Xiangjun lit the house, because the strong men rose up to resist, which aroused their fierceness.

A dozen corpses fell around the entrance of the village, and some blood-stained murderers lifted the corpses one by one and threw them into the fire, which was considered to be a destruction of the corpse.

These things happened in front of officials, gentry and the people. Previously, officials such as Li Anyuan and local gentry had reported to Fuzhou. Yang Shiwei of the Grand Palace ordered the suppression, but even the army guarding the city was recruited by the Grand Governor's Office, including Zheng Liqi's robbery camp, the Pacification Envoy also transferred military power. Now the King of Zhao has the final say in Fuzhou City. In order to appease the morale of the army, King of Zhao intends to indulge the lives of the people outside the city, but he has never taken the life and death of the people outside the city to heart.

"The Xiang army is short of food and wages." Another aide said to Li Anyuan: "Today's move is also a forced one. When the bandits are wiped out, the chaos will stop."

"Hmph." Li Anyuan snorted coldly and said, "From the two thieves in Luzon to the bandits, the peace they want is getting farther and farther away, and chaos comes one after another. Do you believe it or not? If you really suppress the bandits, there will be another chaos immediately!"

Everyone was silent, and Li Anyuan's words also hit the point of everyone's concern.

"Money and food are the first priority. The second is sufficient military equipment. The third is to encourage morale, appease the local area, inspire the military and civilian spirit, and fight against the enemy in unison. The fourth is to find out the enemy situation, garrison the local area and geographical environment, and then lead troops to attack the battle." Li Anyuan pointed to the place where fireworks were soaring, and said in a deep voice: "I think King Zhao is not far from being defeated... No, King Zhao is defeated!"

...

"Today, the Xiang army will go first." In the meeting hall of the royal palace, a large number of Xiang army generals gathered together. King Zhao asked the date, route, and time to join forces.

The Xiang army had about 30 troops and more than 70,000 people, mobilized from all over Fujian Road, and are now all stationed outside Fuzhou City.

From Fuzhou to Nan'an for more than 20 miles, to more than 40 miles outside Gukou, to more than 60 miles within Jianyang County, to about a hundred miles near the county town, and to Jian'an for more than 300 miles.

Liu Jie, He Deqing and others were all receiving the order, and each of them looked as usual and they obeyed the orders and refused to mention it.

"The Imperial Guards set off in the afternoon tomorrow and arrived in the Nan'an area to camp." King Zhao told Liu Guangsi, He Zhiyuan, Lin Zhien and other imperial guards: "The Imperial Guards walked along the avenue and transported supplies by ship. Hundreds of ships of various sizes have been recruited by Yang Dafu and followed the river upstream."

Liu Guangsi stroked the beard on his chin and said, "It's been a long time since we can go to the battle. However, Your Highness can only reach the water outlet, reaching Gukou, Jianyang, and Jian'an. More than 200 miles of water cannot be transported, so I'm asking for a clear statement."

"Lavzi." King Zhao said with some distraction: "At that time, the people in the towns along the way can be recruited, and cattle, horse, mules and donkeys can be recruited, so that the people can be recruited as Master, to pay off labor service, and send food and military supplies to the front of the formation."
