Chapter 111 The situation of the parties
The next step is mountaineering with heavy loads.

At first, everyone just ran to the top of the mountain along the rugged and steep mountain road with ten kilograms of sand or dirt on their backs.Afterwards, it became heavier and heavier, and after a month, almost everyone had to carry [-] kilograms of dirt on their backs and carry their own weapons to climb up.

Sometimes I climb after eating, and sometimes I start climbing early in the morning on an empty stomach.

However, at any time, when climbing to the top of the mountain, everyone feels dizzy, feels that the sky is spinning, and the whole body seems to be paralyzed.

This time it was a lot of trouble for the soldiers.

"We are obviously cavalry, why do we practice these weight-bearing events?" Someone really couldn't figure it out.

"In order for everyone to survive in the future." Ren Ning said succinctly.

The southern border is full of mountains and dense forests, and the roads are narrow.

The role of mounts is still powerful when personnel are transferred, but the role of mounts has been endlessly compressed when used for collective attacks.

Everyone must be ready to dismount or abandon their horses to fight on the mountain at any time.

So you have to practice.

Ren Ning is also a member of the mountaineering with heavy loads, and every time he takes the lead in climbing the mountain, he never complains of suffering or tiredness.

Qian Chang took the lead to set an example, and the other soldiers had to follow no matter how much they complained.

After training day after day, and another month later, the fifth battalion finally made up a thousand soldiers.

Within the limited time, with sixty kilograms of soil, everyone was able to easily climb to the top of the mountain behind the camp.I no longer started to vomit halfway up the climb like before, or collapsed on the ground after struggling to climb to the top of the mountain and couldn't get up again.

"It turns out that apart from Qian Chang who can't die when crawling," someone sighed repeatedly, "We can do it too."

"Indeed. Two months ago, who dared to say that he could climb to the top of Yingshan Mountain with a load of more than 60 kilograms on his back. I would think this person was bragging. Looking at it now, it's nothing more than that."

……

Ren Ning didn't know this.

While training with weights, he was also teaching other things.

"Come down, I will teach you how to rescue or save yourself if you are injured." Ren Ning still didn't say much: "The injury is terrible, but if you rescue or save yourself correctly and in time, you are likely to survive."

"So everyone must study hard!"

After finishing speaking, he personally went out to teach his subordinate soldiers how to rescue or save themselves when they were injured on the battlefield, and demonstrated how to bandage the wound to stop the bleeding.Then let the minions practice with each other.

Ren Ning even went to a nearby village and invited some old people to tell them which plants or minerals nearby can stop bleeding, heal wounds or detoxify.

This kind of training that cares about their wealth and life, the soldiers learn willingly, learn carefully one by one with their eyes wide open, watch carefully and remember firmly.

After a certain exercise, some soldiers went around the neighborhood, only to find that other brother battalions did not have such training.After they came back, they passed each other, and everyone in the Fifth Battalion looked closer at Ren Ning.The later training was even more serious and assiduous.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since the Starfall Legion switched defenses to Zhennan Pass.

Perhaps the small country in the south was intimidated by the name of the Starfall Legion, so it has been keeping its own place, and the border is also rarely peaceful.

In the blink of an eye, it is the 25th year of Yongxing, late November.

Although it was approaching the twelfth lunar month of winter, the south was still extremely hot, and there was no smell of winter at all.

On this day, Yingshan Daying is full of red and colorful decorations, and it is very lively.

Has been busy with training, Ren Ning didn't know what happened, so he went to the main account.

It turns out that the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday is approaching, and the whole country celebrates it.

The major legions of the prefectures from all over the country have long sent people to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays.

The news spread to the distant town of Zhennan Pass, and Yingshan Daying would also like to celebrate here.

The barracks celebration is fairly simple.Today and tomorrow, the soldiers can rest and suspend training, and an extra month of military noon will be issued.In addition, there are big fish and meat to eat and take as you please.

This is the south and near the sea, not a fortress in the wild west.As long as there is silver, whether it is fish or meat, there is a lot.

In the forward's main tent, Guan Luping asked Ren Ning about the training situation of the Fifth Battalion, and nodded with satisfaction.

He said casually: "In addition to the Queen Mother's birthday, there are other news from the imperial capital."

"During the epidemic, the third prince, Chen Xiuzhu, made great contributions to appeasing the hearts of the people in Xingluo and Yunzhong counties. He was named king of Qi earlier, and his fiefdom was in Hanoi county."

Ren Ning's eyes widened, "Is the whole Hanoi County a fiefdom?"

"How is that possible." Guan Luping shook his head hahaha, "If it's an inferior county like Misty that no one wants, it's still possible for the entire county to become a fiefdom."

"Hanoi County is rich in products and is the transportation throat of the empire. It is impossible to seal it all to a prince. King Qi's fiefdom is only three counties."

Ren Ning nodded.

The prince who is a king has no right to rule in the fief, and can only collect taxes from the fief.Equivalent to an extra income.

For those princes with powerful mother clans, fiefdoms are dispensable to them.But for some princes whose mothers are humble or even have no mothers, fiefdoms are money bags, and naturally the bigger the better.

Since it was a holiday, Ren Ning simply reported it, and then left Yingshan Camp with Lei Er Xiao Gang for Nanshu City.

The little soldiers can't come out, but Ren Ning, as a mid-level general, still has this little preferential treatment.

Two months have passed, and if all goes well, Li Hezhu should have finished negotiating cooperation matters, and even returned to the Guerrilla General's Mansion.

He should go and see the situation too.

Nanshu City was not too far away, the three thousand-mile horses galloped for a day, and finally entered Tieguai Li's hometown in the evening.

Ren Ning is the grandson-in-law of the old general.As soon as the butler heard that they had arrived, he didn't dare to neglect them, and quickly put down what he was doing to greet them.

"Butler Li," Ren Ning asked bluntly as soon as he took the tea, "Is everything alright in the Guerrilla General's Mansion?"

"Thank you, Mr. Ren, for your concern. The General's Mansion remains the same." Steward Li who stood beside him hesitated for a moment: "The new wheels, rubber shoes, raincoats and various rubber products invented by you are very popular near Nanshu City. Occasionally, some Xiao Xiao crawled in to spy on the secrets, but they were all caught by the guards in the house."

Ren Ning nodded.

The guards at the guerrilla general's mansion were all wounded veterans, and the ordinary Xiao Xiao was naturally easy to catch.

And as rubber products became more and more popular, the old butler was also sensitive to the value of these things, which made the guards stare at them.Now the entire general's mansion is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the veterans stare at the mansion like an iron bucket.

As for how to deal with those Xiaoxiao, Ren Ning didn't ask.

"Miss Li is back?"

The housekeeper shook his head regretfully, "Young master, the eldest girl is still still in the imperial capital, and she hasn't set out to go south."

He glanced at Xiao Gang, "However, the eldest girl sent someone back with the guard Xiao from Zhongyong's mansion to pass on the news, and they just arrived yesterday."

Xiao Gang cheered up, "Uncle Xiao is here?"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Xiao Yongrui, who was in his early forties, strode into the main hall, and saw Xiao Gang who had been darkened several times at a glance, and almost couldn't recognize him.

After regaining his senses, he hurried forward, "I have seen the Second Young Master, Captain Ren and the Second Young Master Lei."

Several of them had met in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion before, chatting with each other haha.

Xiao Yongrui watched Xiao Gang grow up even more, seeing that his appearance had changed, he hurriedly asked about his second son's experience without caring about other things.

Just as Xiao Gang was about to speak, Butler Li had already walked over respectfully.

"Three sons, you came from Zhennan Pass, you must be hungry after driving all day. The family has prepared dinner, why don't you chat while eating?"

Several people nodded.

Now that Xiao Zheng sent someone over, it was obvious that the cooperation matters had almost been discussed, and they didn't need to rush to know the result.

At the dinner table, Xiao Gang triumphantly told what happened after the three of them left the imperial capital.

Of course, he also has a plan in his heart, and he can say what he chooses.

Xiao Gang did not mention things like being attacked by the local garrison in Baihua County.

Even so, Xiao Yongrui's face changed again and again when he heard it, and he was shocked.
