Chapter 390 We Don't Want to Wash Stinky Feet

Shi Chuan looked at Zhang Zhao - something abnormal happens and will be a monster. The new Da Yin is so easy to talk and has a conspiracy.

Shi Chuan immediately stood up and tentatively said, "Da Yin, our team training is entirely supported by gunpowder. The amount of gunpowder consumes in each battle. It is extremely dangerous to transport gunpowder, so I hope: After our team training, the transport of gunpowder will be borne by professionals - the Batou Shui Army. As for the Jiangning Mansion, the imperial team... can we not go to Jiangning Mansion, because I plan to log in directly near Hangzhou.

Dayin, our army stores a large amount of gunpowder, and it is too dangerous to transport it, and it is mixed with other troops. If something happens, what accident will happen... Sir, I am not saying that accidents will happen, because our firearm army has many taboos, such as not being able to raise fires, etc. I can restrain my own army, but I can't control others, so I am with other troops. Those so-called friendly troops are more dangerous to us than the enemy, and the supply required by our army is too large. After entering southern Jiangsu, the gunpowder will be transported every step of the way, which is difficult."

This is a bit different from the battle plan of the court. The court hopes that after everyone meets, the wise commander will be the most likely to command and destroy the Tong Envoys under his subordinates, and designate the order, formation, and even formation... But the problems listed by Shi Chuan do exist. The generals that Jiangning Prefecture will gather are all the arrogant soldiers and soldiers of Tong Guan in Shaanxi, so that they can listen to the constraints of a little master... Cough cough, it is Zhang Zhao's important task now to coax Shi Chuan away. As for the battle field... Haha, then Shi Chuan must obey the constraints of battlefield discipline.

Zhang Zhao nodded and asked without comment: "How many group training will Changqing take away?"

Shi Chuan bowed and replied: "The officials took away a thousand team members, plus the supply personnel, a total of more than 3,000 people."

A team of more than a thousand people had to go deep into the beach near Hangzhou to land. It doesn't matter if Shi Chuan went to seek death by himself. It delayed the task of monitoring the heroes of Liangshan. Then it would be meaningless to transfer this group to fight. It cost huge costs and delayed the matter... Zhang Zhao shook his head: "Although gunpowder transportation is indeed a problem, the imperial court gathered troops in Jiangning. If you landed on the coast and missed the time for the imperial court to select generals, it would be inappropriate, so I'd better discuss it again."

Zhang Zhao first dealt with Shi Chuan, but he didn't know that Shi Chuan was best at bluffing and beating rabbits. Seeing Zhang Zhao refused, Shi Chuan immediately retreated: "Since that's the case, I'll ask for a small town or water village on the edge of the Yangtze River to hoard my supplies and divide my troops to garrison there. Adults, those are gunpowder. It will be safer and more convenient for me to transport gunpowder from the water."

In fact, Shi Chuan requires the latter - not to meet with Tong Guan and independently command his own troops. Zhang Zhao deliberately pretended not to understand, but Shi Chuan did not agree to the request at all, which seemed unkind. If Shi Chuan annoyed Shi Chuan and the other party refused to fight, all plans would fail. So Zhang Zhao replied in a difficult manner: "In this way, I will go to know that there will be a department (related aspects). As for specific matters, you should negotiate with the local government. I will prepare the corresponding official documents for you. As long as you finally arrive in Jiangning Yingmao, I will not interfere with what to do."

I still have to listen to the eunuch Tong Guan. It seems that this cannot be changed.

According to legend, Tong Guan likes to make people he trusts to wash his feet, so washing Tong Guan's feet is a great honor in the army, thus leaving behind the saying "smelling feet" - although this saying is likely to be fabricated by people in the Ming Dynasty, because sweaty feet (commonly known as Hong Kong feet) were introduced to China from the West in the Ming Dynasty, and syphilis was also introduced. However, the disease of "sweat feet" was not yet available in the Song Dynasty, but Shi Chuan really didn't want to bow to a eunuch and wash his feet.

Zhang Zhao had already ordered people to send Erchen Tang, which meant to send guests off. Shi Chuan retreated from the state yard and saw Ling Fei waiting at the door. When he got on the horse, he asked, "Is there any news about Fang La's naval army?"

Ling Fei thought for a while and replied: "There are rumors that 100,000 shipbuilders captured by Fang La gathered them to build loach ships on the north bank of Jiangning Prefecture. Fang La has been rebelling for more than half a year. Now he must have built more than a thousand warships. This kind of loach ship has no sails, and it depends on the paddles on both sides of the hull. The cabin is loaded with hundreds of soldiers, and the paddles are pedaling, moving forward and retreating like flying."

Shi Chuan said immediately: "I am ready to attack along the water so that I can advance and retreat freely. Therefore, our army would better occupy the north or south bank of the Yangtze River and build a supply camp. The water network in Hangzhou is dense. In this case, we also need the Neihu navy that competes with the loach boat. Fortunately, Yizhang Zhang Heng is here. You should go to the shipyard to order the loach.

Well, our loach boat does not require a size, as long as it is fast enough... Fang La's loach boat must not have a 'difference wheel' device. Our loach boat should try to use iron as a keel, the ribs are hardwood, and the bow and stern are equipped with two small cannons. Adding the sailor's thunder bullets, it should be enough to deal with Fang La's mortise and tenon boat."

Ling Fei opened his mouth wide: "But, Master, we will have to send troops in at most one month. Now we have only placed an order. How many can we build? Fang La has built a ship for half a year..."

"You don't understand, mortise and tenon boats are most afraid of wind and waves and collisions. When driving in rivers, Fang La's old-fashioned man will definitely make the boat tall and large. If this is very majestic, we will do the opposite, pursuing the strength and flexibility of the ship and the fierce firepower, so that the old farmer Fang La knows that sailing is not as good as hoeing the ground, and it is absolutely impossible to be big without being used - so we don't pursue quantity either."

"One month... that's too...Okay, Master, I'll go to the shipyard to place an order. The master needs to take out the design drawings quickly. It's only one month, so it can't be delayed."

After saying that, Ling Fei ran towards his carriage, and went the opposite way with Shi Chuan, and rushed towards the shipyard. Shi Chuan stood at the entrance of the state yamen, thought for a moment, looked up at the bell and drum tower, and was stunned for a while, urging his followers to leave the city and run towards Cuizhuang.

At noon, Cuizhuang's group training was still training on the stadium. More than a thousand group training teams filled the playground. Lin Chong, the new Haizhou group training commander, stood on the podium and strictly commanded the group training formation. Shi Chuan went straight to the group training headquarters. Now he looked at the training at the door for a while and walked over to ask Lin Chong: "How is the team? Can you pull it on the battlefield?"

Lin Chong knew what this sentence meant, and nodded, exclaiming: "The imperial guards of the court only had one exercise every three days, and our group training here was a lot of exercise every day - according to what you said, their "physical energy" was beyond words. If the most elite soldiers in the court could fight for one hour in a row, I think these people could fight for at least one day in a row, and purely using physical energy would also drag down their opponents.

We, not to mention the neat queues, strict commands, and equipment... Cough cough, especially the equipment, can't be described as "excellent". It's a kind of luxury, so luxurious that it's so high... Unfortunately, these people are not good enough to fight... Lord Chief Corner, for the first time you start a war, you'd better choose some weak enemies and let the children practice their skills first."

Shi Chuan immediately replied: "I don't plan to go to Jiangning to obey Tong Guan's orders. I plan to seize a small county town at the estuary of the Yangtze River or the Qiantang River on the edge of Hangzhou, and then attack and advance alone and move closer to the court army. In this way, the control of the battlefield is in our hands. We will decide what we want to fight.

What I am hesitating now is whether we landed at the estuary of the Yangtze River or at the estuary of Qiantang River. The Tongzhou patrol naval army at the estuary of the Yangtze River, Mr. Shi Junjian and I have an old age. Oh, there is a bit of a relative relationship. We can use the ready-made military camp of Shi Junjian, but the difficulty is that we must cross the entire Jiangnan by land in the future..."

When asked Lin Chong for his ideas, what he got was naturally the safest way. Lin Chong indeed replied: "It is better to land in Tongzhou. In this way, the adults will take care of the officialdom, and we set out from Tongzhou to the assembly place of the government army. No matter how fast or slow we walked, we could cover it up, and no one could pick it up.

But if we land at the Qiantang River estuary, although we can directly attack the rebel bandits' hearts, we may be suspected of not following the order. If the child envoy is angry and does not hurry to meet with us, we are deeply trapped in the enemy's siege, as long as he sits and watches us fight alone, he will extricate all his anger. As for us, on the one hand, we must be poor at dealing with the continuous attacks of the rebel bandits, and on the other hand, the official army can take advantage of the rebel bandits' chaos, form a formation to advance steadily, and take full advantage of the bandits' suppression."

"Then it's decided... What else is there in our equipment that hasn't been fully received?"

Lin Chong thought for a while and replied: "Chief, in my opinion, many of the equipment trained in the regiment are a bit inexplicable. It may be useless to go to the battlefield - now the soldiers have guns, armor, and helmets in their heads. They seem to have everything they should have, and the others are all burdens."

Lin Chong is safe in his work, but Lin Chong, who was born in the 11th century, had no idea how to fight the firearm war in the 18th century, nor did he know the supplies required by the modern army. A modern army that is good at fighting, should take into account psychology, epidemic prevention, nutrition and other contents. The purpose of this is to make the blood of the army flow into battle as much as possible, rather than consumed outside the battlefield.

However, Shi Chuan didn't want to explain it too much. Lin Chong was a good person. Even if he had any dissatisfaction or did not understand, he would strictly follow the orders. So Shi Chuan just simply said: "The new magistrate is urging us tightly. We will set off next month... In just a few days. When Xu Ning of the Golden Spear Team arrived, we will have a logistics officer. At that time, you will be in command of the left wing, and I will command the right wing, and the artillery team will be in command, Xu Ning will be in charge of the logistics team, and Sun Li will be in charge of the cavalry team. Let's go south to suppress the bandits together."

Lin Chong thought for a while and jumped up: "In this way, we need to step up the training."

Lin Chong, who jumped out of his mind, brought his helmet, which was a commander's helmet. There was a high red tassel floating on the top of the helmet, like a lightning rod. The red tassel dyed bright red from the boar's bristle, and was woven on several iron wires, like a brush brushing a test tube, eye-catching and eye-catching.

This lightning rod-type helmet tassel was not the standard equipment of the Song Dynasty army. In this era, it was unique to Cuizhuang. However, when the former instructor Lin Chong saw this helmet tassel, he praised it loudly. In the era of cold weapons, communication was basically roaring. The commander had to let the soldiers recognize it at a glance on the battlefield so that the soldiers could know where to gather and who to fight with. This eye-catching helmet tassel was the best marker.

Unlike Lin Chong's helmet tassel, the helmet tassel worn at the time is pure white, and is also standing on the top of the leather helmet like a lightning rod - and the white helmet tassel is the only one in Cuizhuang's group training.

Lin Chong tied his helmet and walked towards the soldiers with a very eye-catching tassel. The team of soldiers also wore helmets, and there were tassels on the top of the helmets, but their tassels were shaped like horse mane - that is, brush-shaped.

Shanghong of the Song Dynasty, the helmets of this team of soldiers were also red. Lin Chong was heading towards a team of gunmen. In addition to a four- or five-meter-long spear in his hand, these people were also wearing plate-type breastplates, with wide arm bracelets and arm hoops on their left and right arms, leather pants on their lower bodies, and thick-soled leather boots.

Lin Chong shook a whip in his hand and shouted loudly: "Get ready, push the gun, stab the front."

With the "fore stab" order, a small group of children ran out and threw the mud and donkey dung eggs in their hands. Most of the mud soldiers looked straight and turned slightly, stabbing a shot to the front of the right. Several mud soldiers subconsciously avoided the mud and donkey dung eggs. Their hands were slower. Lin Chong looked sharp and quickly, and went up and whipped the slacking men with a few whips and shouted loudly: "Don't block, tell you not to block - remember to me: your guns are longer than the opponent; your armor is stronger than the opponent's bow and arrows; and our musketeers shoot farther than the opponent's bow and arrow. Change one shot, and change one knife, and you will not suffer any loss, so you are not allowed to block.

...You coward, coward, fearful... Remember me, you are not allowed to block this. This is an order. After the order is issued, the soldiers are not allowed to think, just do as they do. You must engrave this in my heart and in my bones - do not block, no, allow, allow, allow, block,"

Lin Chong jumped up and down and roared, with a bit of the modern devil chief coach's style.

Lin Chong, who has a gentle personality, jumped up and down when training recruits, was also influenced by Shi Chuan. When he first came to Cuizhuang, Shi Chuan was familiar with Cuizhuang's training method. He was so angry and extremely cruel that he roared to the team at the top of his voice... It was strange that after his roar, more than 95% of the team training that made mistakes would never make another next time. The remaining people who made mistakes would be unbearable and would be kicked out of the team training team.

Cui Zhuang Tuanjian has been suffering from this kind of abuse for a long time, so after taking office, Lin Chong found that whispering was useless to them, so he simply put on a look of night-blooded face and did whatever he should vent... After he finished venting, he kicked several mistakes into the team with one kick, and continued to scream loudly: "Listen, even if someone hits lightning on the tip of your nose, you are not allowed to blink and avoid just obey the orders, front stabs, front stabs, front stabs.

Even if there are a bunch of gods and Buddhas in front of you, you will keep pricking me, pricking me.”

Near these gunmen, there are also teams of gunmen training. The gunmen are not equipped with armor, but only wear gray leather jackets and leather pants, with a simple leather helmet on their heads - their brushed helmet tassels are black. The leather jackets and leather belts on these people have many pockets, and the clothes, chests and armpits are bulging, similar to modern windbreakers. Their armed belts are also covered with various tools and capsules.

The training atmosphere of the gunners was not as serious as the gunners. Under the command of the leader, they teamed up with ten people and repeatedly trained gunpowder loading and firing movements...

Shi Chuan turned around with his hands behind his back for a few times, then turned back to the artillery team.

The artillery team was equipped with ten field guns, all with light gun cars. Except for three twelve-pound cannons, the remaining seven were all six-pound cannons with slender cannons - of course, it was claimed that they were all "fish cannons".

Since it is a "fish cannon" used to fire harpoons and catch whales on whales. Of course, the operators had to recruit from the fishermen. So more than 100 Yier soldiers who were trained in Yizhou Island were mixed into the army as "fishermen", and added some unincome fishermen recruited from Haizhou Pier - the latter could only be used as auxiliary soldiers - the two hundred and forty artillery battalions were formed. Among them, each group of nine-pound cannons was five people, and the twelve-pound cannons were equipped with ten-person cannon groups, and the auxiliary cannon is responsible for carrying shells and serving mules and horses of the cannon battalions.

The artillery battalion was not originally going to fight, Shi Chuan wanted to keep Ling Fei at home to watch the housekeeping business, but considering that the army had completed the wartime organization, just keeping the artillery team, if they need them to go to the battlefield in the future, they will stop eating, and then spending such a large price on equipment and training would seem stupid. So in the end, Shi Chuan decided to bring the artillery team.

The artillery team's training was very standardized. Shi Tong turned around and could hardly find fault. He turned back to the ranks of pike soldiers and checked Lin Chong's training. Cui Zhuang's group had been training for many years. Shi Tong was too busy before and couldn't pull away to train them himself. After Lin Chong and other officers arrived, Shi Tong's troubles were completely solved - someone stared at him every day and shouted in his ears, and the organization of the group trainers increased rapidly.

After walking around, Lin Chong also took off his command responsibility and returned to the podium. He wriggled his lips while rushing several times, and finally asked: "Sir, if Jiuwenlong Shibin wants to go with him this time..."

Shi Chuan stared at the group training exercises in a blank look and replied: "Tong Guan is in Jiangning, and I don't want to meet him. How can Shi Bin show up?"

Lin Chong nodded: "Okay, let him take a break in Cuizhuang and take care of Ruan Tong's injuries..."

"Tsk—" Shi Chuan said contemptuously: "He can take care of Ruan Tong? I saw that he was very careful in taking care of the fallen women. This guy didn't pay the bill when he had dinner, didn't pay for the show, and didn't pay for the prostitutes. I paid him a few times. No wonder the Shi family's big family business was defeated, so he had to go up the mountain to be a bandit."

In fact, Shi Chuan also had an order for the left-behind Shi tribe members, that is: after he led the team away, find a reason to kill Shi Bin.
