The key is to build it quickly and it is cheap! The craftsmen in the military can build it by themselves according to the drawings. They are similar to pine cannons and elm sprays, and can equip the troops in a short time.

Moreover, the combination of grenade vehicles and sky-blasting thunder, coupled with the advantage of quantity, is quite powerful.

It was directly blown to death, and the arms and legs were flying randomly, probably not so sharp; but it was not difficult to hurt the blow.

You can imagine the scene of a dark thunder falling into the sky, exploding on the ground, shooting out countless pieces of broken pottery and iron sand.

Xiong Tingbi led everyone to patrol and comment and give advice. He imagined how the enemy attacked, how his side defended, and improved various tactical styles.

When the inspection was completed, when Xiong Tingbi and others returned to the city, they met a general who had been waiting for him for a long time at the city gate.

"Master Jinglei." Huang Degong bowed respectfully.

Xiong Tingbi asked with a slight look on his head, "Are you ready to go to the capital to enter martial arts?"

Huang Degong was so sad that he said, "The general felt that there was nothing to learn about fighting in the battle formation, so he wanted to ask for adults..."

"Nonsense." Xiong Tingbi glared at him and scolded: "It is a long time to raise the warrior. You should clean up quickly and rush to the capital tomorrow."

After saying that, Xiong Tingbi pulled out his horse's head and entered the city directly, leaving Huang Degong there.

He Kegang saw Huang Degong standing there stupidly, and he turned over and got off the horse, walked to Huang Degong's side, and said, "Huang Chuangzi, it is a good thing to go to martial arts. If others want to go, they can't go!"

Seeing Huang Degong looking up at him, He Kegang reached out and patted his arm, and said, "Long live the martial arts, it is important to pay great attention to martial arts. In the future, if a general wants to be promoted, he must be from martial arts or have studied martial arts."

"Can you?" Huang Degong blinked his eyes and said, "I will not be rewarded for promotion when I fight bravely and kill the enemy and make achievements?"

"Look, you still don't understand." He Kegang smiled and said, "If you make great contributions in the battle formation, or recommend it to Master Rui, or long live Jianba, you will always have to go to martial arts."

Huang Degong scratched his head and thought for a while, and seemed to be a little enlightened, and asked, "If you don't enter martial arts, will you be worried and will not trust and use it?"

He Kegang grinned and did not dare to draw a conclusion. He smiled helplessly. He patted Huang Degong again, turned around and left.

"It seems that I guessed it right." Huang Degong's big eyes turned and shrugged helplessly, "I have to go sooner or later, so there is no need to delay. I'll just set off tomorrow."

In fact, Zhu Youxiao's goal of constantly changing generals through martial arts further study, including Xiong Tingbi and He Kegang, can see clearly and clearly.

This is the emperor who was seizing military power and controlling the Ming army.

Through martial arts, conduct investigations, training, selection, and at the same time replace or install capable generals you trust, gradually taking over the military power in various places.

If you perform well and get the emperor's approval, you will naturally be able to lead troops to become officials, or even be promoted; if you are unbearable, then martial arts is the end of some people's military careers.

First, the capital city, and then the northern border towns will be expanded to the mainland and the south in the future. This step-by-step procedure is not hidden and difficult to guess.

To put it bluntly, if you don’t pass the martial arts level, you will basically have no hope of gaining the trust and value of the emperor in the future, and wanting to regain military power and get promoted.

But the emperor's thoughts are so speculative. Who dares to say it out loud and who dares to resist?

……………………

Pi Island.

Mao Wenlong, who knew the emperor's thoughts, was scolding his adopted son Mao Chenglu in the tent.

"This matter will never be mentioned again in the future."

Mao Wenlong stared at Mao Chenglu who was kicked in the head by a donkey. Seeing his stupid look, he simply said it clearly, "Martial arts are a way to choose generals, and it comes from martial arts, which means the emperor's disciple."

Mao Chenglu blinked his eyes and understood. A cold sweat suddenly popped out of his back and kowtowed, "It was the child who was confused and almost harmed his father."

Mao Wenlong snorted, sat in the chair and slowly waved his hand and said, "It's good to understand. I have no outsiders, otherwise..."

Shaking his head vigorously, Mao Wenlong didn't say anything, and his tone eased a little, "Get up!"

Mao Chenglu stood up, stood aside with his head drooping, and secretly regretted: Why can’t you figure this out, and you still want to improve your efficiency, and build a school similar to martial arts in Dongjiang Town to train low-level officers on the spot?

"Martial arts also involves military system reform, and we cannot be involved." Mao Wenlong warned again and then explained: "The training of the Dongjiang Army must be accelerated. In more than a month, we will send troops to fight."

Mao Chenglu hurriedly bowed and replied: "In another month, the Four Associations of Dongjiang will have musket battalions, supplemented by grenadiers and other artillery, which is enough to launch a large-scale attack on the Dongliu."

Mao Wenlong did not comment, pondered for a while, and said, "Our army was newly built, and most officers and soldiers were not suitable for fighting with the Donglu before they had been through battle. First, choose a weak place for the enemy to attack, and use war instead of training, and can also boost morale with small victory."

"Then send more people to spy on the enemy's situation." Mao Chenglu said: "I'll ask my father and commander to let my child fight this battle, and he will definitely win in return."

"Don't be called father and son in the army." Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "How can I not know your desire to achieve success? Let's practice your troops diligently to win the first battle."

Mao Chenglu bowed and bowed and left.

When Mao Wenlong waited for his adopted son to leave the tent, he leaned on the map on the table, frowned slightly to look for loopholes in the enemy.

Now, the Dongjiang Army has expanded to more than 20,000 people, with each 5,000 troops stationed in Pi Island, Guanglu Island, Changshan Island, Ludao, Zhanzidao and other places.

It can be said that the deployment of the Dongjiang Army has been almost completed, spreading along the coastal islands in Liaodong and southern Liaoning, forming a strategic siege.

In the process of completing the strategic encirclement, the Dongjiang Army also took advantage of the navy to seize or destroy all the coastal ships, causing the Later Jin Dynasty to lose its ability to go to sea to fight.

Of course, there were no big ships in the Later Jin Dynasty and no navy, so it was easier to prevent them from going into the sea.

In other words, it is quite convenient for the Dongjiang Army to harass land from the sea. After all, the coastline is so long that the Later Jin Dynasty cannot set up defenses everywhere.

However, Mao Wenlong also wanted to continue reconnaissance and spy over more than a month of training to find the best attack point.

Moreover, the Ming army in western Liaoning abandoned Guangning, and the main force retreated straight to Ningyuan, leaving a large blank space. If the Later Jin sent troops to occupy it, it would be an easier opportunity for the Dongjiang army to succeed.

The Later Jin Dynasty had so many troops, and the wider the land it occupied, the more scattered it was. This is the reason why the division of troops was weak.

However, the Later Jin Dynasty obviously realized this problem and did not dispatch it, and even Guangning City did not send troops in.
