The coldness of winter is still there, and it will take more than a month to smell the breath of spring. The training of the Ming army in the Ming Dynasty was in full swing, and more than 10,000 Liao people were building houses and settling down.

In addition to the islands, Luda is already the most stable area occupied by Dongjiang Town. It is almost impossible for Jiannu to break the trenches in Nanguan, with dense fortifications and heavy troops to defend.

Not only Zhang Pan, but Kong Youde had such confidence, Mao Wenlong also felt very stable. Therefore, the Liao people from Dongjiang were moved to a large group of hiding groups. According to the emperor's wishes, it is best for Liao people to be placed on the spot.

If it is possible to resettle 50,000 to 60,000 or even more than 100,000 people in the large area according to the size and carrying capacity.

Although the amount of arable land is not enough to support so many people, transporting grain by sea, coupled with other side businesses, is always easier and more convenient than moving to the mainland to resettle.

Moreover, these Liao people who were resettled on the spot will also provide Dongjiang Town with a steady stream of troops, putting increasing pressure on Jiannu.

Now, the abandoned villages have been rebuilt and built, and the land has been divided. The arrival of a large number of immigrants has increased the popularity of the large-scale areas and is gradually getting rid of the desolate scenes destroyed by the war.

"Open the hammer until the charge state."

"Prepare the pot!"

"Get the medicine bag!"

“Flip the medicine bag!”

"Finger sticking medicine!"

"Bit the medicine bag!"

"Put the medicine!"

"Close the fire door cover!"

………………………….

With the officer's loud command, the soldiers kept repeating, mastering the steps of charging and filling ammunition that were much easier than before.

Simplification is simplification, but previous actions have formed memory, and it will take a process to correct them.

Zhang Pan walked away without notice, avoiding the smoke emitted by Kong Youde and Youxi, and continued to concentrate on watching the soldiers' training.

The long-term plan of the court was not something he could guess, just like this dress-up training.

This was a temporary decision that had been arranged long ago, not because of Ningyuan's great victory. In that case, it would definitely be too late to go in terms of time.

In other words, the process of the war was well controlled by the court, or the emperor at the strategic level. At least until now, everything seems to be going on in an orderly manner.

"See?" A smell of smoke came. Kong Youde came over without any wits and pointed, "This new musket is much faster than the old one. It can stand close between soldiers, so the firepower is more than twice as strong!"

Zhang Pan nodded and said, "This is a conclusion drawn by martial arts research, Jingying through practical training. More importantly, it can be used on ordinary rainy and snowy days, which can solve the big problem."

"That's right, that's right." Kong Youde nodded repeatedly and said, "In this way, you don't have to worry too much about the impact of the weather. You dare to fight Jiannu for a long time in the wild."

Zhang Pan smiled and said, "If we can change all the clothes within half a year, we will launch the offensive this fall and winter, right?"

Kong Youde blinked and said, "Even if only half of the troops change their clothes, I think they can launch an attack. This autumn, before the autumn harvest, even if you cannot re-create slaves and try to burn all the crops of the three guards in southern Liaoning, it will be difficult for Jiannu to survive the winter."

"This is a good idea." Zhang Pan praised: "The siege and blockade means that Jiannu is scarce and difficult to grow. Burning fields and food is equivalent to snatching food from Jiannu, which makes it more effective."

After pausing, Zhang Pan shook his head helplessly and said, "It's just that the Liao people under the rule of Jiannu are going to endure hardships."

Kong Youde glanced at Zhang Pan, complaining about his soft heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

In order to change the topic, Kong Youde smiled and patted the short gun on his waist, saying, "If you have time, let's try it out. Whose marksmanship is better?"

Zhang Pan smiled and loved the short flintlock gun he gave very much, especially the "loyalty and courage" and "fairness" engraved on both sides of the handle of the short gun, which was not his ambition and ambition.

"These guys--" Kong Youde suddenly turned his eyes and cursed with a smile: "Are you here to say goodbye? It's their luck to do this kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law."

The redistribution of military officers into martial arts is an important means for the emperor to control the army. Only intermediate officers, or subordinate officers with particularly outstanding performance, will have this opportunity and treatment.

For example, these officers who want to study martial arts may not return to the original troops after the semester has expired.

Through the integration of middle and lower-level officers and control of food and military laws, Zhu Youxiao was still not worried about warlords.

Zhang Pan turned his head and saw several officers coming together walking towards this side. He couldn't help but laugh and greeted Kong Youde.

Pi Island.

In the victory of Ningyuan, the headquarters of Dongjiang Town did not take much action.

In addition to Mao Chenglu leading his troops to fight together in the Belt and Road, although he had a small victory, the effect of restraint was very limited, and it could even be said that there was no.

Because Nurhaci did not receive any urgent reports, nor did he retreat because of restraint.

But this is not important. Ningyuan is extremely strong, with strong troops and horses, and its weapons and equipment are more sophisticated and sufficient than Dongjiang Town, and there is no need to restrain or support.

Zhu Youxiao was already very satisfied with being able to win a small victory while the old slave led his troops to fight and weaken Jiannu's strength. He is not very concerned about the victory now, but the combat power and mental state of the troops.

Therefore, rewards that should be rewarded and commended. Liao Town is a great contribution, and Dongjiang has not fallen behind.

Bang! With a gunshot, white smoke rose, and a hole was made into a target more than ten meters away.

"Shishou Mao is good at shooting skills." Gou Zhenhuai was the first to cheer, and the generals also shouted loudly.

Mao Wenlong waved his hand hard and said with a smile: "Where are you, if you can't hit such a distance, wouldn't you be dazzled? Is it time to go home to retire?"

Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong was still in a very happy mood. He cherished the imperial short gun and put away the imperial short gun.

Although the leaders of the League have imperial gifts and short guns, Zhang Pan and others have only slightly better patterns, but the material is still steel.

The deputy general's short gun has a silver handle, and the level of the commander-in-chief is even more inlaid with gold, and the carvings are also very exquisite.

As for the gifts given by the emperor, it does not depend on how much it is or whether it is valuable.

The emperor only admires you Zhang Dabing, which is also a great favor and can make people excited. The emperor is thinking about you, afraid that you will be hungry, and this affection is heavier than anything else!

But the levels are both important and inspiring.

How can Mao Wenlong’s golden hand gun not be enviable? Then you can do it well, and maybe you can be so glorious in the future.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Mao Wenlong summoned the generals to discuss matters. Everyone knew that this was the commander who received the emperor's will and wanted a new arrangement. They all sat down and waited for the commander to speak.

Mao Wenlong ordered his personal soldiers to bring tea, and then smiled casually: "Those who like smoke are free and do not have to be restrained. They are all soldiers, and they are arrogant, straightforward and unconcealed. This is the nature. There is not so much attention to me as a general."

The generals laughed, and when Mao Wenlong smoked cigarettes, a few smokers dared to move. After a while, smoke rose in the house.

After spitting out a puff of smoke, Mao Wenlong coughed dryly and said in a deep voice: "This year - it will be the year when the counterattack begins. The siege and blockade must be strengthened, and the battle with Jiannu must be escalated, not only to make it scarce, but also to continuously weaken its military strength."

Mao Wenlong stood up, and pointed the map spread on the table with a teaching stick, saying, "The large area of ​​Lu Da has been stable. Based on this, we can attack the three states of Fu, Hai and Cover, and strive to capture all the four or three states of Liaonan."

The teaching stick turned around and pointed it in the Zhenjiang area. Mao Wenlong continued: "The Zhenjiang area will be seized by the Dongjiang headquarters to try its best to form a horn with southern Liaoning, or even connect it."

After talking about the military goals that you should try your best to achieve, Mao Wenlong looked at the generals, sat down and smoked, and said, "What do you think, you can tell me."

Mao Chenglu looked at others and seemed to have something to say, but someone raised his eyebrows at him, as if he was asking him to start.

Tickling his head, Mao Chenglu carefully considered the words and said, "Master, the last general thinks that our army may not have enough troops, and I don't know how long it will take to change the musket."

Mao Wenlong said with a slight head, "Mr. Yuan has mobilized the troops in Dengzhen and will assist our army in defending the occupied land. In this way, the Luda, Pida, Tieshan and other places will not occupy too much of our troops."

After a pause, Mao Wenlong continued, "As for the musket change, it is not an excuse for our army to not launch an attack. We will use as much as the court pulls out. Do we dare not fight with Jiannu if we use a big sword, spear, bow and arrow?"

"I understand." Mao Chenglu was scolded by his adoptive father, and he became honest, but he glanced at the guy with an eyebrow raising and treated him as a leader, this bastard.

Deputy General Gou Zhenhuai smiled and said, "The court is working hard to build new muskets. For half a year, even if we cannot change all the clothes, at least one-third of our Dongjiang Army will use new weapons. Excluding the spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, as well as artillery, the entire army is equipped with it."

Mao Wenlong nodded, agreeing with the conclusion, and added: "The power of the old muskets is still considerable in defensive battles and can be used reasonably, and it is not all necessary to be abandoned."

"In addition--" Mao Wenlong stretched out his finger and emphasized: "In the Battle of Shiheyi, the chariot camp showed considerable power. The Ministry of War has sent a pattern to our army to build it on the spot and have a lot of equipment."

The generals whispered in a low voice, and Mao Wenlong said to himself: "The military and civilians work together to build two thousand vehicles as soon as possible. Each cooperative equipped 500 vehicles, and the rest will be reserved for backup."

"This is not difficult." Deputy General Chen Jisheng received Mao Wenlong's eyes and said with a smile: "The army should be involved in the construction. Pay attention to those who are smart and skillful. In the future, if there is a fault, they can repair it themselves, or even create and supplement it on the spot."

The chariot camp is not unfamiliar to the generals. It resists cavalry charges, cargo artillery, materials, and there are many vehicles in the army. However, now with regulations and patterns, it is more powerful and more practical.

Seeing that the generals had no objection, Mao Wenlong began to arrange the work.

In addition to these, the court ordered each officer to expand its troops by 1,000, and to draw horses and artillery to each officer to improve the maneuver and field combat capabilities of the troops.

Another big investment! The generals didn't say it, but they also understood in their hearts. With such strong support from the court, what they wanted was naturally to win more battles and kill more Jiannu.

Ningyuan.

Xiong Tingbi had played with the golden-handled flintlock hand gun, and his ideas were almost clear. He spread paper and picked up the pen, and began to write secret memorials to the emperor.

Compared with the admiration and surprise of Zhang Pan and others, Xiong Tingbi knew a lot. He didn't dare to say that the emperor knew all of the plan to Ping Liao, at least he knew about the general idea.

But Xiong Tingbi was also surprised. He was surprised that the emperor was so young and had such calmness. Nothing else, it was just that he was not anxious or impatient. Jiannu was most afraid of and most difficult to deal with.

In the latest secret memorial, the emperor agreed to Xiong Tingbi's plan to move forward and would increase 10,000 troops to Liao Town within three months. These 10,000 troops were mobilized from Jin Town, and the 6,000 Flying Cavalry Camp in Jing Camp.

Obviously, the emperor also realized that advancing to Jinzhou and Dalinghe City was no longer a narrow area of ​​the western Liaoning Corridor. When entering the Northeast Plain to fight, cavalry seemed very important.

If Mangui's naturalized cavalry camp was added, Liao Town would have nearly 10,000 cavalry. This is far beyond other northern military towns, and it is the most stable and powerful.

In addition, the emperor also told Xiong Tingbi that he would send artillery soldiers to assist in defending Jinzhou and Dalinghe City. At the same time, a group of martial arts officers would enrich Liao Town and bring more powerful defensive skills.

Jiannu's new defeat is extremely unlikely to launch an attack within three months.

Moreover, when spring is in full bloom, the rivers are thawed, and the rivers from Liaoshen to Jinzhou will also make Jiannu feel headache.

According to Xiong Tingbi's arrangement, 4,000 troops stationed in Dalinghe City were considered as the outpost of Jinzhou; 6,000 troops stationed in Jinzhou were considered as the backing of Dalinghe City.
