Chapter 88 Final Preparations
Xiao Ruxun looked at the generals and found that they were all solemn, so he continued to speak in satisfaction.

"However, in the heart of the governor, it is the basic expectation to eat Kato Kiyomasa's troops after cleaning up Pyongyang. Just eat the Japanese invaders in Pyongyang, and the army will surely go south to face the rest of the Japanese invaders. But at this time, Kato Kiyomasa's troops in Jizhou You can move at any time and directly threaten the rear of our army, which is where the King of Joseon is located. The strength of the Korean army is beyond expectations. The Governor has even ordered all the defeated troops to be used as civilians to carry grain and ordnance. The combat effectiveness is negligible. .

Therefore, if we want to go further south without eliminating the enemy in Jizhou, it is absolutely impossible. If we divide our forces to face the enemy in Jizhou, we will inevitably disperse our small number of troops. The governor's idea is to devise a clever plan to eat them , Eliminate these two stubborn enemies in one go, and then directly march into Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do. In this way, the Japanese invaders in Gangwon-do are not to be feared. "

"I would like to listen to the admiral's order!"

The generals can't wait to know their assigned tasks.

"For this march, the army is divided into three armies, the left, the middle, and the right. The left army is led by Ma Gui, the deputy general, with three thousand sword and shield players, three thousand gunners, and four thousand crossbowmen. The combined force is ten thousand."

Ma Gui immediately took the order: "No!"

"The right army is headed by Zhang Shijue, the deputy general, with three thousand swordsmen, three thousand gunmen, and four thousand crossbowmen. The total is [-], which is the same as the left army."

Zhang Shijue clasped his fists and went out: "No!"

"The Chinese army has [-] swordsmen and shields, [-] gunmen, [-] crossbowmen, [-] Ningxia firearms battalion, [-] Zhejiang gunners, and [-] soldiers. Merge with [-] gunners from the Zhejiang Army to form the artillery battalion, and merge [-] gunners from Ningxia with [-] Zhejiang gunmen to form the gun battalion.

"promise!"

The generals suddenly took orders.

"Admiral, then, what about the general's cavalry?"

An untimely voice sounded, and Xiao Ruxun saw that it was Nurhachi standing alone at the end of the line. He also had five thousand Jurchen cavalry under him, which Xiao Ruxun did not mention.

"Li Zongbing and General Tong's cavalry governor have other arrangements. First, they will serve as the reserve team of the Chinese army and wait for dispatch."

Nurhachi was delighted when he heard it. Generally, combat cavalry are forwards, but Xiao Ruxun actually wants cavalry to serve as a reserve team. It is indeed rare. The generals have a good understanding. They know that Li Rusong was beaten twenty army sticks for contradicting Xiao Ruxun before, and now he has no face. When I came out to see everyone, I just said I was sick, but looking at it now, Xiao Ruxun made up her mind to suppress the Liaodong faction.

They are not from the Liaodong faction either. It is not a secret that the Liaodong soldiers look down on soldiers and horses from other parts of the country. It has long been spread throughout Ming Dynasty. Benefits, on this point, no one disagreed with Xiao Ruxun.

Nurhachi was happy, but also worried. He knew Li Rusong's temperament too well, and he insisted on saving face. Once he knew that Xiao Ruxun had made the cavalry the reserve team, he didn't know what would happen. It's my own precious pimple cavalry, but what should I do?

Nurhachi was in pain and joy, thinking about how to explain to Li Rusong for a while.

After the distribution of troops has been arranged, Xiao Ruxun ordered to take a day off tomorrow. The army will rectify and salute, have a good rest, and eat something good. In the morning of the day after tomorrow, there will be a military parade for the entire army, and Admiral Xiao will review the army!
Since ancient times, generals have to inspect the army at the beginning of commanding an army, and before going out, they have to hold a swearing-in meeting to publicize the confidence of winning the battle, boost morale, and encourage the soldiers to go forward. After understanding the actual problems in North Korea, Xiao Ruxun did not allow the army Before the war, they entered North Korea to consume the small food reserves of the North Koreans, so they ate at Zhenjiang Fort instead of going to North Korea.

And Xiao Ruxun still has a lot of pre-war preparations to do.

For example, give lessons to the gunmen in Zhejiang, equip them with better quality matchlocks and gunpowder packets to facilitate their firing, and conduct three-stage shooting training, and run-in with Ningxia gunmen, etc. During the running-in of the vehicles and cannons, Wu Weizhong handled things very quickly. He said that 20 days would be 20 days, and he transformed 210 seven medium-sized artillery pieces and more than 70 small artillery pieces into vehicle cannons that could be promoted, and the mobility was greatly enhanced.

Xiao Ruxun combined the Zhejiang gunners and Ningxia gunners into a super artillery battalion of 5000 people. There are a total of more than 80.00 artillery pieces, of which 20.00% are vehicle guns, and [-]% are heavy artillery that cannot be modified on the spot.

This kind of firepower is estimated to be unavailable anywhere in the world. The 1-strong firearms unit compiled by Xiao Ruxun can be regarded as the number one firearms unit in the world at the same time. Use this unit to fight against Any firearms force in Europe at the same time will not be defeated.

After the military parade, Xiao Ruxun gave targeted guidance to the [-] Ming troops according to some problems he discovered.

For example, the drill methods of the Ningxia Firearms Battalion were carefully trained by the Zhejiang gunners and gunmen, and the old bird guns and even the Huomen guns of the Zhejiang gunmen were recycled and distributed to the latest refined bird guns, which made the Zhejiang gunmen overjoyed. They all expressed their willingness to follow Admiral Xiao's instructions, and the gunners did the same. They were given the same treatment and mixed up. Let Wang Hui teach them in a unified way, and teach them how to operate. Naturally, they can gain the morale of the army.

Let the gunners and sword and shield soldiers combine to practice a large formation, and then join the pawns and crossbowmen to form a large army formation that can be attacked, defended, attacked from a distance, and attacked from a distance. And designed the military formation, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be impossible to use it on the battlefield against the Japanese invaders.

Xiao Ruxun trained troops on the north bank, and Yuan Huang continued to supervise the work of building roads, warehouses, and grain transportation on the south bank. Because of the tight schedule, Yuan Huang directly arranged for a station to be stationed when it was completed, and someone to transport it after a warehouse was completed. As fast as possible, all those who are free will go into battle to carry food for the army to prepare for the war, and even the domestic slaves of some ministers' homes are required to participate in the carrying work.

Even so, only half of the workload has been completed now, and the time has come to October [-]th. All the military equipment, food and grass in Zhenjiang Fort have been moved to Yizhou Reserve, and there is only half an hour left before the scheduled troop dispatch date, October [-]th. In the first month of the month, Yuan Huang hurriedly arranged the manpower to speed up, personally led the supervisors, and sent all the people who could be sent up. He wished that even the eunuchs around Li Yan would be pulled up to work.

Liu Chenglong also tried his best to cooperate. All the young and strong in the areas under the control of the North Korean government were mobilized, and even healthy women and children were required to participate in the work, otherwise they would not be provided with food. This made many people unhappy. , There were many complaints, so Liu Chenglong had to use coercive means and was exhausted.

But this is what the general of the heavenly soldiers asked. The general of the heavenly soldiers has already crossed the river and returned. He said when the road is repaired and when he will send troops to cross the river, he will not waste your food or time.

If you don't give them a little pressure, they won't know how to move.

However, this is also the last preparation before the war.
