Another 4,000 words, haha, can be considered a different kind of addition.

My friends also voted very hard. I have always been in the eleventh place these two days. I am only a few votes away from being in the top ten.

For students who don’t have monthly tickets, recommended tickets are fine. It’s almost 200,000. If you don’t have anything, just give a few more and click to collect.

"This is nothing more than the South Army acting independently. You don't need to make a fuss."

——This was originally what Zhu Dadian said to deal with Gao Qiqian that night, but in the following days, it became a mantra that Ming armies at all levels would use to appease their subordinates in the future. Sometimes I just couldn't stand it and went to the superior to complain. But most of them are responses like this.

The problem is... there must be too many unique things about his grandmother's southern army - in the past ten days or so, almost all the Ming army generals who had met Qiong Haijun were secretly cursing in their hearts.

Since the arrival of military rations, Qiong Haijun has basically returned to the normal work and rest system - the so-called normal work and rest system is based on the Northern Latitude's concept of "Don't let the soldiers be idle, otherwise they will cause trouble", and they are drilled every day until they are exhausted.

Of course, we can't completely relax here. Each company has to take turns to be on guard, so the amount of training is only half of the normal situation, but that's enough. Anyway, in the eyes of the Ming army outside, the behavior of this short-haired army has already greatly exceeded theirs. scope of understanding.

——Every morning, when the entire Ming army camp was still silent, several sharp bugles were heard from the short-haired army camp. Only a moment later, these short-haired soldiers were neatly dressed and lined up in two rows to march from the army. People came out of the camp, all well-armed and looking like they were looking for trouble.

For the first time, both the Sichuan Army next door and the Liao Army on the opposite side were startled. Could it be that these green-skinned gangs were too angry and wanted to fight with others? They all got up in a panic and swarmed up the wall to prepare for defense. , but I saw that the group of people just ran in circles around the hillside, and after running for about two or three miles, they returned to the camp. The troops here, who had been tense for a while, naturally started to curse again.

It was like this for one day, like this for two days... As time went by, each army gradually adapted to it. After the two sides became familiar with each other, someone ran to ask, why are you so tormented every morning? The answer was very simple - exercise early.

Is it necessary to carry so many things to exercise early? - Of course, which soldier is not fully armed when he goes to the battlefield? Even if he has to run for his life, it is safer to carry weapons and equipment.

After hearing this answer, the Ming army generals thought it made sense, and many of them planned to implement this method in their own armies. However, this method sounds simple, but when it is implemented for a long time, it is found to be very difficult-occasionally It's okay to run like this, but you have to keep up with the soldiers' food supplies, otherwise you won't be able to run with an empty stomach no matter how hard you try.

Moreover, with such armed and forced marching every day, the equipment itself wears out quickly, especially the shoes... Many officers and soldiers had to give up after trying it once or twice. Some who wanted to persist went to Xie Xun to increase logistics as requested by adults. The supply of materials resulted in...

——Of course, he was scolded by the angry Xie Sanbao. Mr. Xie has been going crazy recently. He has explained to the officers at all levels who came to ask for more supplies many times: The Qiong Navy’s baggage supplies are all in full. They are responsible for it themselves and have nothing to do with the camp. Their level cannot be used as the standard for the Ming army.

…………

However, the Qiongzhou Navy's uniqueness goes far beyond this. Unlike the Ming Dynasty Army, which was used to drills every three or five days, the Qiongzhou Army's daily schedule of activities was very full, and there was no time to spare at all.

Every morning, this is the only quiet time for the Qiongzhou Army. Except for foreign affairs and sentry duties, most soldiers stay in the camp. However, the generals of the Ming Army who came to peep at the Qiongzhou Army quietly stepped into the Sichuan Army Camp.

Watchtower, when they look towards the military camp over there, they are often startled.

——I saw short-haired soldiers divided into several groups, sitting neatly on the ground, holding small branches in their hands and drawing on the ground, while the officers were scribbling and teaching on the small blackboard in front... This was teaching.

They read and read

The entire army in Qionghai Town was literate. Realizing this really surprised Ming officers at all levels - you must know that even many senior generals in the Ming army may not be literate. Generally, middle and lower-level officers and even ordinary soldiers

Not to mention.

Although the writing these people learned from Short-haired soldiers is very crude and simple, and many characters with slightly more complicated strokes cannot be written, they can understand it without any problem. Moreover, the Short-haired soldiers learned not only the writing, but also the mathematics.

They have very strong technical abilities - this was only discovered after they had more contact with each other. Qiong Haijun's counting ability is not bad for any soldier, and his judgment is very strong when interacting with outsiders. Whether dealing with things or buying and selling things, he is very capable.

Few people can fool them.

Study literature in the morning and practice martial arts in the afternoon - every afternoon is when the Qiongzhou Army practices martial arts, and it is only at this time that their behavior can be slightly understood by the surrounding Ming Army. Compared with the traditional formations of the Ming Army, and various

Complex equipment training. The training of the Qiongzhou Army is quite simple - the soldiers only practice stabbing with wooden sticks, and the requirements for formation are not strict. At most, they only practice small cooperation between three to five people.

It seems that there is no basic rule of "fighting after formation" in their art of war.

Moreover, martial arts does not play a major role in Qiong Haijun's training. The content of their training is more extensive - for example, in an open space, it is combined with a large number of wooden piles, wooden boards, earth pits, trenches, low walls and other elements.

Set up simulated positions for soldiers to quickly cross while carrying heavy loads of simulated equipment to train their athletic abilities.

The generals of the Ming Army did not attach much importance to this kind of training at first, but when they discovered that part of the simulated positions created by the Qiongzhou Army was actually exactly the same as the sheep and horse wall set up by the rebels under the county seat of Huangxian County, at the end of it

After they also built a high wall with adobe bricks, which was similar to the county seat of Huang County, they immediately paid attention to it.

The Qiongzhou Army only made a small 1:1 city wall model to train infantry in the skills of quickly climbing and climbing over such positions, but the training intensity was not very high - because they would definitely not use all of it if they really wanted to attack the city.

The infantry charged hard. But the Ming army was different. They wanted to play hard, and they would be able to use it immediately.

Camp Commander Zhu Dadian, Supervisor Gao Qiqian and others came over to watch the training in person - of course it was only from a distance, they still refused to have any substantive contact with Qiong Haijun - and after returning they ordered the mobilization of the brigade

The men and horses quickly built a replica of the same Huangxian city wall, including the sheep and horse wall defense line under the city wall.

It is easier to do things when there are more people. Thousands of people built a simulated city wall several feet long in a short time. After that, all the troops in the Ming army who were preparing to attack the city were brought in to conduct an siege drill.

, together with the siege equipment that had already been built, were also used to test the effects in order to improve at any time. They even assigned some people to act as city defenders, and used this terrain to conduct several confrontational exercises to improve them.

Siege tactics.

From then on, more and more generals of the Ming army came to watch the daily training of the Qiongzhou Army. Unlike before, they were just the Sichuan Army who was forced to be neighbors and the Liao Army opposite who had surveillance responsibilities. Military aspect

The intelligence of the Qiongzhou Army has always attracted the most attention. The various unique behaviors of the Qiongzhou Army were regarded as novel and eccentric, but when it came to these real military training subjects, the experienced Ming Army generals immediately realized its practicality. Naturally,

Want to know more.

They were not disappointed. A few days later, the Qiongzhou Army conducted another drill that shocked them all - live rifle shooting.

…………

"Pah...pah..."

Clear gunshots filled the air below the hillside, and this place has been set up as a shooting range. Because it was just an ordinary shooting exercise, it did not involve many subjects, only the Qionghai Rifle’s calibrated range of 400 meters and 250 meters.

Some human-shaped targets were placed at the actual combat distance, allowing each company to practice their hands separately in order to maintain the gun feel they had finally gained from actual combat.

After shooting at a living person, the experience of facing a human-sized target is indeed completely different. Many veterans no longer simply pursue beautiful results as they did before, aiming for difficult targets such as heads, but are very pragmatic.

Aiming the muzzle of the gun at the torso, make sure it is safe first. But even so, their shooting range has generally improved a lot, and their movements have become more proficient and faster - the troops after actual combat are indeed very different from rookies.

On the periphery, almost all the generals of the Ming Army who were camped in Shandong, excluding those responsible for vigilance around Huang County, gathered here. Those who had telescopes held up telescopes, and those who did not have telescopes put up tents.

Everyone stared at the shooting range with wide eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

"You're lying, right? Can their fire cannons hit that far?"

"It must be fake to scare people when they see us coming. Who wouldn't know how to put up a few wooden signs in the distance?"

A small number of die-hards still refused to believe it, but most people were silent. The position they were currently standing in was close to the target area - except for those civil servants who were short-sighted in reading, generals who could command troops had little ability.

, always has a pair of sharp eyes. So at this moment, he can clearly see: as the white smoke comes out from the guns in the hands of the Confederate soldiers, the wooden targets here and the broken earth slopes below are scattered everywhere.

Fei, he was clearly hit by a bullet, how could he fake it?

Are we looking for a few people to hide nearby, and every time we fire over there, there is also fire here? But there is no hiding place around under the blue sky and white sun. If someone is really hiding, so many pairs of eyes would have seen it.

One guy actually asked his own soldiers to go to the target area to see if Shorthair was hiding someone under the mound. Qiong Haijun's sentry stopped him several times but didn't stop him, so he just ignored him. The training on the other side continued as usual.

When the volley of gunfire came over, the soldier's hat was knocked off, and he was so frightened that he crawled away and wet his pants - they were obviously merciful and didn't hit his head.

Now no one dares to say anything false. The Qiongzhou Army's fire cannons can really hit that far and are extremely powerful. Those generals with telescopes can see clearly. The wooden targets used here are quite thick, but

Each shot will create many holes in it. This force is enough to break through armor, and even metal helmets or goggles may not be able to block it.

"The rumors are indeed true..."

Since arriving in Shandong, rumors about the invincibility of Qiongzhou's weapons have been circulating among the generals in the camp, and the captured rebel prisoners also confirmed this. But most people don't believe in evil, and they don't have to see it with their own eyes.

Before seeing it, most Ming army generals were still dubious about it—until today.

Countless pairs of scorching eyes immediately cast towards the direction of the Qiongzhou Army. Of course, they wanted to get such a sharp firearm and study it carefully. However, the generals present were very smart, and although they were eager, no one took the initiative to step out of that place.

One step - Zhu Futai, that's all. The livid-faced senior supervisor was also present.

The heroic words of the leader of the Qiongzhou Army's liberation army had spread throughout the entire Ming Army camp - he actually went to the Chinese army's tent of the Ming Dynasty's counter-rebellion troops and said that his army did not belong to the Ming Dynasty? - This short-haired soldier

The boss is so crazy that he is simply seeking death. Many Ming army generals once thought that before attacking Huang County, they would first be asked to wipe out the more than two thousand Qiongzhou army as an appetizer, and they also served as an appetizer.

This is ready.

However, the order to exterminate has not yet been issued. Instead, the superiors asked them to try their best to restrain their subordinates and not to provoke the short-haired gang. It seems that the civil servants do not want to cause trouble at the moment, which is not surprising to the generals. Let's start with the betrayal in front of them.

The army will clean it up and then settle the accounts with the short-haired Qiu Hou. They are no strangers to this trick.

Therefore, although the two sides are not hostile at the moment, there is no telling when a decree from the capital will come down and the short-haired group will become enemies again. Therefore, even if they have the intention of making friends at this time, they dare not rush forward, for fear that in the future

Being caught and accused of being a gangster - judging from the look on Eunuch Gao's face, this is very possible.

Many people want to get closer to the Qiongzhou Army position, even if they want to take a closer look at the model and usage of their powerful fire guns, but they are worried that they will be remembered by the eunuchs of the supervising army. They may be in trouble in the future, and the atmosphere at the scene

It was a little weird for a while.

But in the Ming Dynasty's military system, there are still people who don't care about eunuchs causing trouble - the Liaodong Army, which has almost formed its own system, is one of them. After a moment of silence, only one person walked out of the Liaodong Army generals, and he didn't care.

Gao Qiqian, whose face was almost as dark as the bottom of a pot, walked straight to the Qiongzhou Army's training area.

Before the guard sentry came to stop him, he clasped his fists and said hello loudly and openly towards the direction where Hu Kai and several other officers of the North Latitude were:
Chapter completed!
