Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 255 Can Be Trained Properly
Zhao Kuangyin has experienced hundreds of battles and is familiar with military affairs, military affairs, and training matters. He can see at a glance where the 800-meter obstacle training of later generations of special forces is really used.Ye Chen originally wanted to express his own opinion, but now it is obvious that there is no need to say it again, but he said sincerely: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and this is what I thought when I came up with this training method."

Zhao Kuangyin directly said to the left and right little yellow gates: "Write another order to the Privy Council, and ask the imperial army to send people over to learn from the special training ground of Huaxia Weifu. Let the spies in the army train according to this method, Ordinary soldiers and the commanders of each army can handle it by themselves, and they can be properly trained."

After a little Huangmen quickly wrote it down, he quickly left.

Ye Chen entered Kaifeng City with the guard of honor of the emperor, and left halfway, returning to his home.

Han Ke'er, Shui'er, and Kou Zhun were waiting at the gate of Ye Mansion early on, followed by all the servants and guards led by Ma Gangzi.Now with the establishment of the Huaxia Weifu, Ye Chen has his own soldiers to act as guards, and the guards in the mansion no longer need to follow Ye Chen.

Han Ke'er has been pregnant for more than three months, and her stomach is slightly bulging, which can't be seen unless she looks carefully. When Ye Chen came back, her eyes were red, and her face was full of joy and happiness.

Shui'er and Kou Zhun were also very happy, and ran up to salute Ye Chen respectfully.Shui'er originally wanted to follow her on this trip to the northwest, but Ye Chen didn't let her go. At that time, the little girl was still arguing for several days.

Because Ye Chen went to the Huaxia Weifu first, Yu Qingyan came back long before Ye Chen, took the black spring water brought from Heiquan Town, entered the maze, and started research with the ghost doctor.

In addition, Ye Chen gave her a new task on the road a few days ago.

Because the south is generally humid and hot, in this era, sanitary conditions are poor, mosquitoes are everywhere, and people have not been vaccinated. Therefore, when northerners go to the south, most of them will be unaccustomed to the water and soil.Some people who are in poor health go to the south once, and even die in the south after falling ill, which is nothing more than normal in this era.And this is one of the reasons why most officials in ancient times were unwilling to go to the south to serve as officials.

Some time ago, Ye Chen deliberately studied the military affairs of the past dynasties, and found that since ancient times, when the northern army went to the south to fight, the biggest enemy was the climate and weather in the south. Often, the war had not started yet, and the soldiers and horses had been reduced due to non-combat due to unacceptable conditions. Quite a few, and morale was greatly affected.

In addition, various crossbow arrows, catapults and other equipment are easily damaged due to moisture.Iron weapons are also more likely to rust.

However, because most of the southern soldiers are unfit for battle, even if the northern troops lose a lot of non-combat personnel, the southern troops are often still not opponents.

For this reason, Ye Chen discussed with Yu Qingyan, a well-known doctor who had received the ghost doctor's true biography, on the way, and came up with some measures.

For example, insist on drinking boiled water every day.The so-called disease enters from the mouth. Many diseases are caused by drinking water that is not clean.And as far as Ye Chen knows, affected by the climate, the number and types of parasites in the water in the south are a hundred times or even a thousand times that in the north. From this, he speculates that the ancient northerners often went to the south because they were not acclimatized. One of the main reasons is that the ancient common people Accustomed to drinking unboiled water.

The second point is to prevent mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are the main carriers and disseminators of diseases. Later generations have many kinds of vaccines, plus various powerful methods of killing mosquitoes and mosquitoes. The chance of getting sick from mosquitoes is very small.But it is different in this era.Therefore, anti-mosquitoes will be another focus of Ye Chen's attack on the Southern Han Dynasty to prevent non-combat attrition due to acclimatization.

For this reason, Ye Chen sent someone to inform Bai Yikun and Tian Ming of the Imperial Army Hospital to purchase large quantities of pitcher plants, mint, star anise, white orchids, and wormwood.These are herbs that Ye Chen knows can repel mosquitoes either by placing them or lighting them.

However, these herbs can be used when the troops camp.But it is inconvenient to use when marching on the road.Therefore, Ye Chen still needs to get something like cool oil and toilet water for later generations.Ye Chen told Yu Qingyan some formulas of these two things that he knew, and then handed over the matter to her.Ye Chen is not very worried about this, because even if Yu Qingyan can't figure it out, there is still a ghost doctor behind her who regards her as her own daughter.

Yu Qingyan only has one week, because there will be time left for the Ye family's workshops to produce mosquito repellent plasters that can be used by [-] troops.

The members of the Privy Council sent the transfer and promotion orders of Wang Chao, Yang Yanping, and Zhan Xiongwu to Ye Chen. I don't know if the members of the Privy Council knew what was going on, or Cao Bin deliberately arranged it.

Ye Chen sent someone to call Wang Chao and Yang Yanping, and personally invited Zhan Xiongwu, and handed over the order of the three to the three. The four talked in secret for nearly an hour before Ye Chen asked the three to go to the Privy Council to respond. Go to the yamen to go through the formalities and get official seals, official uniforms, confessions and other supporting things.

After a series of procedures were completed, they each went to receive the troops assigned to them by the Privy Council.

The three of them were naturally overjoyed, Wang Chao didn't say much, he wouldn't be unhappy after being promoted to a higher level, but he and Ye Chen were life and death brothers, so there was no need to say polite words.However, Yang Yanping and Zhan Xiongwu directly became officers from white bodies, but they were very grateful to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had only one requirement for the three of them in the conversation just now, to control the troops assigned to them by the imperial court as soon as possible, not to mention that the commanders and capitals under his command have become confidantes, but at least they must be as commanding as they are on the battlefield.

Wang Chao was originally a member of the Forbidden Army system. The 500 people under his command still followed him, and the 500 people added to him were also from the same team. Steady, he is well-known among the soldiers below.In addition, he has followed Cao Bin for many years, and has been taught by his precepts and deeds, and his ability to lead troops to fight and train troops will certainly not be bad.So Ye Chen on Wang Chao's side is not worried at all.

But Yang Yanping and Zhan Xiongwu have no foundation in the army, and they don't even have a single acquaintance. It is still very difficult to command with the arm.

Ye Chen originally wanted to personally send the two of them to the post, and use his prestige to help them borrow some strength, but they both refused without hesitation.Both of them are people with real abilities, and both have led soldiers to fight in battles, each has its own pride, and each has its own set of methods.

Seeing that the two of them were full of confidence, Ye Chen no longer worried. He also had a lot of things to do as the expedition was imminent.

The so-called "know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles", Ye Chen is well aware of this, so he has already sent a large number of people from the Intelligence Department of the Huaxia Weifu to sneak into the Southern Han Dynasty, and even set up strongholds in some important military officials.It was chaired by Xu Fangyi, deputy envoy of the Intelligence Department.

It is also the so-called 'everything is forewarned, and if not forewarned, it will be abandoned'.What Ye Chen needs to do now is to determine the specific marching route, strategic plan, combat plan, etc. based on the various information provided by the intelligence department.

The Song court began to operate at high speed from top to bottom, preparing food and grass, replenishing weapons, building siege equipment, deploying soldiers and training for battle.A large number of soldiers and labor services were transported from the local area.Up to the important officials of the imperial court and the government, down to the officials of the prefectures and counties, most of the energy is devoted to this matter.

According to the arrangement of Zhao Kuangyin and the important ministers of the two governments, the [-] army of the Southern Expedition to the Southern Han Dynasty consisted of two parts, of which [-] were drawn from the elite forbidden troops of the capital, and the other [-] were composed of local forbidden troops.Of the [-] troops that belonged to Ye Chen, [-] were from the Jingshi Forbidden Army, and [-] were from the Jingnan Forbidden Army.

For busy people, time often flies, and January is approaching in a blink of an eye.

night.

Gently tucking in the quilt covering Han Ke'er's body, Ye Chen straightened up.

The face in front of her, which was rounded due to pregnancy and taking more supplements every day, was falling into a deep sleep at this time.The breathing is light and thin with a steady rhythm, which shows that he slept very deeply.Between the eyebrows, there was a slight change in his expression, and he didn't know what he saw in his sleep.

In her sleep, Han Keer's lips moved. Ye Chen didn't hear what she was muttering clearly, but from the happy smile on her face, it could be seen that she was having a sweet dream, so she frowned in a blink of an eye, as if she was dreaming. Something frightened him, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Ye Chen felt pity in his heart, raised his hand to wipe away the warm tears on Han Ke'er's cheeks, raised his hand to tidy up the bedding again, and then ordered a few personal maids and mother-in-law in the room to take care of him. Quietly out of the room.

After breakfast, Ye Chen, Han Ke'er, Shui'er, Kou Zhun, and Yu Qingyan all came over and sat together. Han Ke'er, a pregnant woman, received the greatest care.

Han Ke'er caressed her slightly protruding belly, her face was full of maternal brilliance.She was originally a slender physique, so it would be a little worrying when she gave birth. For this reason, Ye Chen specially emphasized not to make up too much, so as not to over nourish and make it difficult to have children.You must know that with the level of midwifery in ancient times, the survival rate of a woman's first child was even less than 50.00%.

Looking at Han Ke'er and several other men and women who are not relatives, but who are already like relatives, listening to their gossip, and feeling their worries about his upcoming expedition, he feels peace and joy in his heart, which has a special feeling.

"Alang, you have to be careful when you go to the south to fight. When you go to battle, stand back. Anyway, you are a general along the way, so don't rush to the front." Han Ke'er said with some worry.

Ye Chen gave a wry smile. Han Keer had said something like this many times these days, but the pregnant woman had to take care of her mood. With a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Don't worry Keer, as you said I will He is a general along the way, so there is no need to go into battle in person! You just need to strategize in the back."

Han Ke'er's expression relaxed, but then he frowned again, and said: "But that Taiyi monster has been trying to capture you and eat you, you went to their territory, but you must Be careful, when I was in the Southern Tang Dynasty, I heard that the leader of Taiyi Dao can call wind and rain, very powerful."

Since the Southern Han Mission proposed to exchange half of the Southern Han Dynasty for Ye Chen at the Zhengdan Great Court Meeting during the Chinese New Year, although Ye Chen used the fake Tianxing jade pendant to divert the attention of the world, Chen Jingyuan, the leader of the Tianyi Dao, did not want to practice evil. There has always been a saying that people want to eat Ye Chen to live forever.Han Ke'er also hears a lot about her family, Alang.
