Cutting 1719

Chapter 85
With the arrival of November, it was winter in a blink of an eye. At this time, the Fuhan army was in full swing, and recruits continued to join in, so that the shouts in the barracks became louder day by day.

The governor’s money flowed out like water. In addition to rushing to build flintlock guns and cannons, he also temporarily made a batch of bayonet shields. These so-called shields are actually relatively simple, just cut from a large wooden board. With glitches, for temporary use only.

The bayonet is improved based on the style drawn by Ning Yu before. It is about one foot long and can be used on the waist in normal times, and can be hung on the muzzle in wartime. Compared with the previous bayonet, the material used is tougher, so in It is more difficult to break in battle.

Especially with the arrival of winter, the Zhengshitang also sent people to buy cotton clothes at high prices from the people, and hired women from all over Wuchang City to sew military uniforms for the Fuhan Army. During these days, the entire Fuhan Army seemed to be crazy In general, he tried to use all his strength to enhance even the slightest chance of victory.

Whether it is inside or outside the city, crowds and carts are coming and going everywhere, and all kinds of supplies are rushed to Wuchang City. After all, after a while, this place may become the front line of the war.Both the Qing army and the Fuhan army are racing against time.

Ning Zhongyuan was not idle either. He took Ning Zhongjing, Cui Wancai and others to the barracks every day. One was to check the preparations of the Fuhan Army, and the other was to motivate the fighting spirit. Don't look at this At that time, there were more than 2 people in the Fuhan Army, but the situation was much more complicated than when it was thousands of people before. Many people were directly converted from the green camp prisoners. Although these people all had their braids cut, their loyalty was not It's hard to guarantee.

Ning Yu also had no better solution. He could only assign the original soldiers of the Young Eagle Battalion to each battalion to take up important positions, and also appropriated the entire system of the original Young Eagle Battalion, setting up staff offices, teaching offices and other departments. , can not only boost morale on weekdays, but also monitor the changes of each battalion to prevent them from harboring ill intentions.

Except in terms of equipment and systems, Ning Yu was able to introduce some new things, but he was blind in war command, although Ning Yu had fought several battles before.But strictly speaking, those few battles were not regular large army battles, but were mainly surprise attacks. If it was really a war of the [-]th century, Ning Yu's current capabilities were not enough.

Fortunately for Ning Yu, the Ning family was originally a family of military and military heirs, and actually had a lot of experience in war commanding. Otherwise, with his personal ability, he would have no way to deal with today's war mode, because the current war mode There is a large-scale cold weapon war, and some firearms are mixed in. Not to mention Ning Yu, a later generation, even many people who are familiar with military books in this era are still pitch-black on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Ning Yu has a good father. He is a rare general in this era. He knows that he must start step by step, so let Ning Yu have the opportunity to practice his skills at Taohua Mountain, and then Wuchang City. Ye Hao, let Ning Yu try his best to practice by himself, so Ning Yu has the opportunity to learn from the battlefield.

In the review field of Wuchang City, Ning Zhongyuan was wearing armor and standing in the center, with Ning Zhongjing, Cui Wancai, and Ning Zhongxin standing on the side respectively. They are all civilians at present, so they are wearing long gowns. As for Ning Yu and Ning Zhongyi, the same is true. Wearing armor, he stood aside, and some elders of the Cheng family and Zheng family also stood on the high platform.

And in the open space below them is the Fuhan Army after the reorganization is completely completed, with a total of 5000 people, and a full 120 artillery pieces are placed in front of the formation, all of which are the latest thunder-type cannons, which can be called magnificent.

In a sense, this review is not only a preparation before the expedition, but also to reassure other big families that the Ning family is reliable in their affairs and it is right to follow the Fuhan army.

This is a miracle. It only took two months to initially integrate a large army with basically complete equipment. This is not the same as those peasant uprising armies in the past. They are more like the regular army than the green battalion of the Qing army.Of course, in this process, the Ning, Cheng, and Zheng families almost did their best, so this time's performance is also an explanation for them.

The 5000 Fu-Han soldiers are wearing red military uniforms, belts around their waists, and leggings created by Ning Yu on their legs. Like a group of flames, it is not only majestic, but also full of momentum.

Cui Wancai said with a smile: "My Han family originally belonged to the virtue of fire. Now the lord has raised troops in Chu, and he regards fire as the celestial phenomenon. It is really the destiny. The Qing court went down to the Central Plains from the north. It is the virtue of water. Now The reincarnation of the law of heaven should be overcome by our Chu army."

Regardless of whether these words made sense or not, Ning Zhongyuan smiled and said: "Now that there is such a powerful army, what are these tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers? Just relying on those old soldiers? Or What about the Eight Banners of Jingzhou who can hardly even ride a horse?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing, but the soldiers in the audience straightened their chests even more, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly.

Ning Yu also had a slight look of color on his face, looked at the elders of Ning, Cheng, Zheng and others beside him, and said with a smile: "The Fuhan Army currently has a full staff of 5000, organized into three divisions. With 120 artillery pieces, if tens of thousands of Qing troops come to attack, they will all be wiped out!"

"The prosperity of martial arts, nothing beats this!" Cheng Yuanzhi also had a wrinkled face with a smile. Although the old man was a villain in his heart, he knew that he would basically live and die together when he boarded the Ning family's boat, but after all, he still I'm playing drums, what if I can't resist?Seeing this mighty teacher now, he naturally let go of half of his heart.At least in Mr. Cheng's heart, he was infinitely stronger than the weak Green Camp.

Ning Yu continued to introduce, "Among the three divisions, I personally serve as the commander of the first division, Cheng Zhien, the chief of staff of the division, the fourth uncle Ning Zhongyi as the commander of the second division, Zheng Hongen as the chief of staff of the division, and Cheng Ming as the commander of the third division. , the chief of staff is Ning Zuyi."

Immediately, a few men came out, each of them was full of energy, with bright eyes, and they were all men who had been polished in the army for a long time.Among them, Zheng Hongen, Cheng Ming, and Ning Zuyi are the backbone of these companies. As for the backbone of the original Young Eagle Camp and the backbone of Hanyang Camp, the highest is currently only a regiment leader.

This is not Ning Yu's nepotism, but an act of desperation at the moment.Before the establishment of a real professional officer system, Ning Yu had no choice but to guarantee the absolute loyalty of the Fuhan Army.
