Standing on a small mound, looking at the vast flat land around. The wheat has been cut and most of them have not grown any more crops. In just a few days, the grass in the ground has grown and lush. There are flocks of sheep eating leisurely in the ground, and occasionally a few old oxen.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "Cutting wheat is a good pasture. In the countryside here, you can actually raise more sheep and sell it for money. Otherwise, letting the grass grow empty, will it waste the ground power in vain?"

Li Yanxian said: "This matter is not that easy. It takes money to buy lambs and people to herd sheep. The land is all one piece at a time. If you are not careful, you will go to other people's fields. Not to mention that in winter, it is not easy to find forage. In addition, it is not easy to raise wheat for several months."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "These are not unsolvable difficulties. After all, it is the people who do not have the habit of raising sheep. This time, let the people in the yamen think of ways. A set of regulations can be drawn up so that the people can do it accordingly."

In the Central Plains, sheep raised in addition to rivers and ditches, there are also open spaces after harvesting crops. The land here is fertile, with sufficient rainfall, and natural conditions are incomparable to the northern grassland areas. If you make full use of it, you can raise much more sheep than grassland areas.

Zhang Chi on the side said, "There is another point. The sheep raised in the north are not smelly. The ones we raise here are all goats, which have a smell of mutton. Many people avoid this smell of mutton, and the meat is not easy to sell."

Wang Xiaoli smiled and said, "This is a good thing. I don't like the smell of goats. It's not that they are well-made, but the smell is light. Ordinary goat meat is not eaten. This depends on the chefs to come up with good methods. For example, the mutton soup learned from Baisha Town, there is no smell of smell. Not only do people in the army like it, but they sell well everywhere."

Li Yanxian said: "What the polite is saying is that as long as there is a good way, who wouldn't like mutton? After all, it's meat!"

Wang Xiaoli said with some emotion: "The rural areas not only have land, but also various resources. In addition to the busy farming season, there is also sufficient manpower. It can be said that there are treasures everywhere. If the yamen is well done, let the people have work and income, and live a better life. It is not right to promote corvee labor, but it is not right to let the people be idle at home every day. If the people have work to do, they can make money."

After saying that, Wang Xiaoli looked around and felt open-minded.

This area has a fertile land of thousands of miles and has been a prosperous place since ancient times. As long as the people are allowed to recuperate, society will soon prosper.

After seeing the scenery around, Wang Xiaolei said, "Today I'll come to you, just take a look around. In the next three months, the three of you will initially organize artillery here. This is the initial plan. The division level is under the jurisdiction of an artillery regiment, mainly artillery battalion, mainly medium artillery. How many artillery do the artillery regiment and artillery battalion need? You need to find out the number in practice."

Li Yanxian and the other two sang promised with their hands crossed.

Wang Xiaolei said: "In the future war, artillery will be an important role. How to use artillery is a major issue. From the manufacturing, maintenance, transportation, and use of artillery on the battlefield, a lot of knowledge is something we need to explore and learn."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoli looked at the three people and said, "Lu Shidi was originally from Zezhou. He followed Li Xing south the year before yesterday. After entering the army, he studied mathematics very well and was proficient in arithmetic. The use of artillery involved a large number of mathematical problems. You were the commander of the artillery regiment of the Central Army. Together with Li Dutong and Zhang Tong, you worked here for several months."

Gu Bao

Lu Shidi crossed his hands and said yes.

Among Wang Xiaoliu's army, Lu Shidi naturally was not the best in mathematics, but could only be considered excellent. However, based on all aspects, he was the most suitable candidate for the artillery regiment commander. Zhang Chi was not bad at math and was appointed as the commander of the first central army regiment. The two of them came here with Li Yanxian to explore the organization and use of artillery. Only when they did well could they promote it to the entire army.

After Li Xing returned to the south, people who were not suitable for joining the army were placed in the Tangzhou area. Some of the people with suitable age and physical conditions were selected as officers by the military academy, and most of them entered the recruit camp. After systematic training, Li Xing was now hunting down the commander-in-chief of the rear army for Wang Xiao.

Now Wang Xiaoli's army, division and regiment are numbered in a unified manner, different from other armies. The central army that Li Yanxian also served is the First Division, from the first regiment of the central army, in order to the Fifth regiment. The front army is the Second Division, commanding Cao Zhiyan, the third division of the left army, commanding Shaoxing, and the fourth division of the right army, commanding Jie Linong. The rear army is the Fifth division, commanding Li Xing. The regiment number is the Central Army of the First Division is Zhang Chi's First regiment. According to the division numbering method, until the rear army of the rear army is the 25th regiment. There is no separate number.

The artillery regiments, cavalry regiments, baggage regiments, etc. under the division do not participate in the numbering because they are not separate combat units.

According to the customs of the Song Dynasty, the right army was the front. A normal vanguard, except for the front army, should be the right army. During combat, the right Yuhou should be the vanguard troops. Wang Xiaoliu's army turned upside down, the left army was the vanguard, and the left Yuhou was the vanguard. It was mainly because of Wang Xiaoliu's habit, left east, right west on the map became a routine. At first, someone pointed it out, but later, the number of times was more, and the same was true in the army.

Compared with other armies, the names of Wang Xiaoliu’s army are reversed, but in fact they are the same. It is also a feature.

Following the field path, the group walked forward. The flowers on the grass beside the road had already faded, with all kinds of fruits. There were birds flying around among the trees, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. There were few farmhouses in this area, and the fields seemed very empty.

After walking for a while, Wang Xiaolei said: "Although artillery has been made now, there is a lack of tests for field marching. You should pay attention to this matter. Not only do you need to test artillery, but you also need to test artillery vehicles and other supporting facilities. An artillery must not only adapt to the battlefield, but also adapt to long-distance transportation."

Li Yanxian said: "The cannon is extremely heavy, and it is impossible to walk on ordinary fields."

Wang Xiaolei said: "Yes. Cannons and cannons cannot be used by any army, nor can they be used in any battlefield. You must summarize it. What kind of road is needed to transport cannons? The road is blocked, and what methods can they be transported? Cannons cannons cannot be used, so what about cannons? What about cannons? These must have corresponding regulations."

Li Yanxian said it was.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "After organizing artillery, don't think that there are a few more artillery in the army. If that happens, the role of artillery will be greatly limited. You must be clear that with artillery, it will be a major reform for the army. From the earliest choice of soldiers to the training and training of the army behind, the change of organizational structure, a few steps involve all aspects. Within one or two years, there will be no major wars around. We must seize the opportunity to truly integrate artillery into our army. If we miss the opportunity, we will pay more in the future."

Li Yanxian said: "Liu Yuxinli, I think he has to show his might. It is hard to say that he will not attack us within one or two years."
