The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 300
Only then did I see the clouds on the top of the mountain like a cover, and the snow was like dust on the rocks.

Thousands of bamboo shoots, thousands of jade trees, thousands of usneas trees and thousands of silver flowers.

The cold wind is biting and the rain and snow are biting. In November, rain and snow have already begun to fall in Hanzhong Mansion.

The howling north wind blew over the rolling mountains and into Hanzhong Mansion, bringing the wind and snow from the North into this former land of abundance.

Tiny snowflakes slowly fell down from the sky. Many of them were blown away by the cold wind blowing from the mountains and valleys before they even touched the ground.

When it entered the second half of the year, there were several heavy snowfalls outside Xing'an City, and the surrounding fields on the outskirts of Xing'an City were also covered in silvery white.

South of Xing'an City, the ground in the Hanzhong Army camp was still clean and not covered with snow like the outside countryside.

Every few hours, special soldiers are responsible for clearing away the fallen rain and snow to ensure that the camp is clean.

The barracks is no different from other places, so it is natural to keep it clean and tidy.

Moreover, these are requirements written into the "Code of Conduct" and are also requirements for garrisoning in military regulations.

When stationed in a camp during non-wartime, soldiers within the camp can move freely, but the scope of activities is limited and generally within the scope of the bureau.

However, the inside is relaxed, but the outside does not relax much vigilance.

Even outside Xing'an City, in the hinterland, the guards of the Hanzhong Army outside the camp were still vigilantly scanning the outside of the camp, watching all the disturbances.

Every half an hour, a team of sentries would gallop back to the camp from a distance to report the surrounding situation.

On the school grounds, troops are usually conducting various trainings every day.

Today's Hanzhong Army has recruited a lot of new soldiers, and it naturally needs training and running-in to improve the degree of organization and training that has been reduced due to the recruitment of new soldiers.

But today, the school grounds were quite deserted. There were no reverberating golden drums and orders, and there were no soldiers constantly walking back and forth, changing queues and formations.

At the edge of the school grounds, there were only a few scattered flags fluttering in the north wind.

Chen Wang wears a jade crown on his head, a bullfighting suit inside, a hood outside, and a red cotton cloak. He stands in the southwest of the school grounds with his sword pressed.

A group of personal guards wearing robes and belts and wearing helmets stood around Chen Wang like stars holding the moon.

Behind Chen Wang, a group of Hanzhong military generals stood with their hands tied, waiting for military orders.

Hu Zhiyi and Hu Zhili, who often followed Chen Wang, were not here today, and neither was Chen Gong.

Standing beside Chen Wang were Zhang Ling and two Tujia generals.

On the school grounds, different military orders began to sound, and more and more flags began to appear in everyone's field of vision.

Soldiers from the camp are beginning to pour into the school grounds in a steady stream.

Zhang Ling stood beside Chen Wang. He was wearing a square scarf and a blue cloak. He was wearing a lot of clothes and no armor.

Zhang Ling is getting older after all, and even though it's freezing cold today, he doesn't disapprove of his age and wears more clothes than Chen Wang.

Seeing the Hanzhong Army soldiers lined up in neat formations, with vigorous steps and neat military appearance, Zhang Ling's mind could not help but be affected by them.

Even though I have seen the Hanzhong Army training every day during this period, when I see it again, I still feel solemn and solemn unconsciously.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of queue alone, the Hanzhong Army's queue was the most organized army Zhang Ling had ever seen.

During this period of time, Zhang Ling was actually observing the reorganization and training of the Hanzhong Army.

Zhang Ling wanted to see how the commander-in-chief, who was hailed by the emperor as the bravest of the three armies and who had mastered Qi Shaobao's training skills, trained his troops.

If he knows the method and trains his troops in this way, he can train a strong army that can protect the safety of Kawauchi.

But after observing it for nearly a month, Zhang Ling didn't see many clues.

Because in the past month, the Hanzhong Army has been training the queue most of the time. Apart from the training queue, it is practicing spear assassination, these most basic things.

Zhang Ling felt very confused because of this. In his opinion, such training was the most basic thing, but it was just that these trainings could not produce a strong army.

Just when he was doubting, Chen Wang sent an invitation to him to come and observe the martial arts performance today.

Zhang Ling was filled with doubts, so he naturally agreed to such an invitation.

"I've heard that Chen Shuai's soldiers are strong, their horses are strong, and their firearms are sharp. I didn't expect that today I would be lucky enough to watch the soldiers perform martial arts."

Zhang Ling looked at the soldiers entering the scene before him and complimented them with a smile.

"I'm going to have a lot of experience today."

The sedan chair lifts people up, and when you say flattering words, even if they know it is flattery, the people who listen still feel quite comfortable.

Chen Wang smiled calmly. The main purpose of this martial arts performance was to demonstrate military strength, and the second was to close the relationship with Zhang Ling and the Tujia generals, so naturally he would not put on airs and said with a smile.

"Commander Zhang, thank you for your praise. I once led troops into Sichuan and fought in coordination with Commander Hou. I have seen the bravery of the Sichuan soldiers. In fact, I also want to ask you for advice on how to train."

"After all, it is not advisable to work behind closed doors. Experiences such as training and operations must be exchanged with each other and then demonstrated in actual combat, in order to make progress."

Chen Wang turned his head, looked at the other two soldiers and generals standing beside him, and said.

"The Baigan soldiers have a great reputation. They made great achievements in the Battle of Bozhou and the Rebellion of She'an. They are famous all over the world. They are especially good at fighting in the mountains and forests. Most of my subordinates are northern soldiers. They can only use [-]% of their abilities in the mountains and forests. I also want to ask a question."

There were two generals of the local soldiers, one of whom was tall, slightly dark-skinned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a short beard. He was about thirty years old, in the prime of his life.

He was wearing a large green cotton cloak, armor underneath, and a net scarf on his head. He was not wearing the embroidered scarf that most soldiers often wore.

The other person is thinner, has a fairer complexion, has bright eyes, a tall nose, and a handsome appearance.

He doesn't look very old, but he doesn't have a beard, which is quite strange, but I think it may be the custom of the natives.

So Chen Wang didn't pay too much attention.

Both of them were born in Shizhu Xuanwei Division and were locals. They both held guerrilla titles.

The tall and older general is named Ma Yuanshan, and the younger one is named Ma Yuying. They are members of the Ma clan of Shizhu.

The Shizhu Ma family is a chieftain family and has been passed down from generation to generation since the Song Dynasty.

In the Xuanwei Division such as Shizhu, the officials and generals under the division were basically appointed by the chieftains, so those in charge of local affairs were naturally the children of the same clan.

The imperial court would add titles and official positions to them based on their positions in the Xuanwei Department.

Hearing Chen Wang's words, Ma Yuanshan said with a slight smile on his face.

"Chen Shuai's words are serious. When we arrived, Qin Shuai had already given orders. Chen Shuai is superior in martial arts and has clear rewards and punishments. When marching and fighting, only Chen Shuai should follow his lead in everything."

The Qin Shuai in Ma Yuan Pass naturally refers to Qin Liangyu, the Shizhu Xuanwei envoy who currently leads Shizhu and other six major Xuanwei departments.

"If Chen Shuai is interested in our military training methods, we will naturally not hide anything. We will tell you everything Chen Shuai asks." At this time, the Tujia people were not called Tujia people. They called themselves "Bizka" "Mijika" or "Beijinka", the Ming Dynasty officials also used their names.

The Tujia people have lived together with the Han people for a long time, and many of their customs and habits are the same as those of the Han people. Even their clothes are very similar.

According to his family tree, Shizhu chieftain Ma's ancestral home is Fufeng, Shaanxi, and he is a descendant of Ma Dinghu, the ninth generation grandson of Ma Yuan, No. 30, general of Fubo of the Han Dynasty.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Ma Dinghu suppressed the entry of Wuxi barbarians and was awarded a stone pillar to appease the envoy. The official position was passed down from generation to generation, and he was able to guard the stone pillar for the rest of his life.

The Shizhu Ma family has a long history, and the clan has a clan school, which is quite large. The children of the clan have to learn Chinese and dialects at the same time since they were young, and they also learn poetry, songs, and Confucian classics.

Therefore, most people of the Ma clan can not only speak Chinese, but also have certain literary skills.

Chen Wang's eyes brightened slightly. What he wanted was to establish a good relationship with these local soldiers. Ma Yuanshan clearly stated that Qin Liangyu ordered them to cooperate as much as possible. This was the goodwill conveyed by Qin Liangyu.

"I'm afraid I won't have to bother you a lot after that."

Chen Wang clasped his fists and smiled.

"Chen Shuai's words are serious."

When Ma Yuanshan and Ma Yuying saw this, they also clasped their fists in return.

"Let's watch the martial arts performance first, and put the rest on the table later."

During the conversation, a group of soldiers were already standing on the school field.

On the school field, more than [-] soldiers stood in three formations, standing on the westernmost side of the school field, directly in front of the high platform where they were located.

At the far north are more than 1000 Sichuan troops under Zhang Ling. These more than 1000 Sichuan troops are all wearing dark blue cloth-covered iron armor, wearing helmets, or carrying blunderbuss or long spears on their shoulders.

The momentum can be called mighty and majestic, with murderous intent.

In the central area, there is a military formation of native soldiers, there are also thousands of them, very few of them are wearing armor, less than half of them, many of them don't even have helmets on their heads, and they still have embroidered kerchiefs wrapped around them.

Their weapons were much more complicated than those of the Sichuan soldiers. Some of them were holding strange waist knives, while others were carrying long spears on their shoulders. Those long spears were basically white poles.

Some of the native soldiers also had short bows hanging on their waists, and some of the native soldiers had throwing weapons that looked like iron bones hanging on their waists.

Although it looks messy at first glance, it does not remind people of words such as rabble.

The ferocious aura of these soldiers was something Chen Wang had never seen in any army before.

If such soldiers can undergo good training and are equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons, they will definitely be invincible on the battlefield.

Chen Wang looked at the soldiers standing under the stage and couldn't help feeling jealous.

If the six major Xuanwei soldiers can be used by him, it will be enough to help him conquer the three southwestern provinces!

Chen Wang closed his eyes. Although he was eager in his heart, he also knew that it was still too early and it was not appropriate to reveal his ambition too early.

When he opened his eyes again, Chen Wang regained his composure and looked towards the audience again.

The closest place to the high platform was naturally a military formation composed of more than a thousand soldiers of the Hanzhong Army.

The more than a thousand soldiers of the Hanzhong Army, without exception, all wore pointed iron helmets on their heads, iron arm armor on their arms, and blunderbuss on their shoulders, looking majestic.

Wearing a red cloth-covered iron armor on the outside and a dark red cotton military uniform on the inside, one is bright and the other is dark, the clothes and armor are bright and make it even more extraordinary.

All soldiers of the Hanzhong Army were carrying sea-sworn cannons over 1.6 meters long on their shoulders.

They held the bottom of the gun butt with their hands, turned the gun back to the front, used their shoulders as the fulcrum of the belly of the gun, and supported the gun to stand up at a slight tilt.

The total length of the Oath Gun is more than five feet, and the length is more than 1.6 meters. With the one-foot thorn, the total length is close to two meters.

At this time, they were resisted on the shoulders of a group of soldiers. Thousands of muskets were densely covered with thorns, like a forest of sisal in the ground, and like a jungle full of thorns.

The cold sunlight shines into the formation, giving off countless cold and cold lights.

The uniform uniforms and uniform weapons formed a strong contrast with the native soldiers and Sichuan soldiers.

On the high platform, Zhang Ling, Ma Yuanshan and Ma Yuying all looked at the Hanzhong Army below with solemn expressions.

Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly, taking in the expressions of the three people.

I also have a basic concept in my mind.

The opening scene arranged by Chen Wang was not about these more than a thousand fully armed soldiers equipped with new types of firecrackers.

But at this time, more than thirty artillery pieces were displayed in front of the high platform where they were located.
These artillery pieces currently placed on the school grounds are all the artillery pieces under Chen Wang's command.

22 three-pound cannons, seven five-pound cannons, and two seven-pound cannons, a total of 31 artillery pieces.

There should have been a total of 41 artillery pieces, but when leaving the capital, Sun Chuanting took away a thousand cloth-covered iron armors with sufficient materials in exchange for the ten three-pound cannons in his camp.

When he first took office as governor of Shaanxi, during the Battle of Heishui Valley, Sun Chuanting used cannons to seize high ground and attack the invading army.

And in this time's King Qin, Jinan and Qingshanguan battles, the performance of the new artillery was really too eye-catching.

Sun Chuanting was naturally aware of the impact of such artillery on war, so he also wanted to keep a certain number of artillery and form an artillery team equipped with new artillery in his model battalion.

Sun Chuanting was quite kind and used his power to allocate a batch of ordnance in exchange.

1000 and two hundred pieces of cloth-covered iron armor were exchanged for ten three-pound cannons. This business was not a loss. On the contrary, Chen Wang made a lot of money.

After all, there are more than 300 three-pound cannons, and ten of them are only 3000 taels. And if the Hanzhongwei Ordnance Bureau produces a thousand cloth-covered armors, it will cost nearly 1 taels of silver.

Although these are all public property, Sun Chuanting was so generous, and naturally it was not just for the purpose of exchanging military equipment.

The extra armor was actually Sun Chuanting's compensation for the victory at Qingshan Pass and King Qin this time.

In this battle of King Qin, more than [-]% of Chen Wang's troops and horses were lost. Almost all the three thousand headquarters were disabled, leaving only two thousand troops and horses.

In addition to replenishing a thousand collars of iron armor, Sun Chuanting replenished Chen Wang with a lot of military equipment, including chainmail, helmets, and ring-iron arm armor.

Among them, the Ring Iron Arm Armor is the largest, with more than 2000 pairs being replenished. In addition to the current inventory of Hanzhong Mansion, if it is centralized, Chen Wang can equip the entire main camp with Iron Ring Arm Armor.

The number of chain mail armors is also large enough to be issued to officers at the level of team leader, so that all of them can wear double armor.

　The heroine will come out soon. As the leader of the power, Chen Wang must have an heir, so don't worry.

　　I understand the concerns of all book friends, but everything must be based on reality.

　　The original owner was a servant and joined the army when he was young. Chen Wang has only traveled through time for four years. He has been fighting all the way and has no time. During this period of time, he has grown steadily and will definitely find someone.
