Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 158 Manjia Camp

"Unbeatable Zhongyongbo!"

"See Commander Wei!"

"."

The rising and falling sounds are still ringing.

Wei Yuan looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him, his thoughts racing.

After him, the Wei family will always maintain a kind of prestige in the army of Zhou Dynasty.

Like 'General Yang'.

Then, Wei Yuan raised his hand and closed his fingers to signal the soldiers to be silent.

Even some nobles, such as Qin Zhen, Xu Changzhi and others, are standing here.

Just when Yang Huairen and others thought that he would speak impassioned words to encourage the soldiers to train.

A full attack, but only four fingers, Zhang Fu, Gu Yankai, and Wei Yuan, the frontier army leader who faced Xixia.

Yang Huairen, Chen Yuanzhi, Lin Zhaoyuan and others were all shocked at this moment.
"Commander Wei, you didn't say anything. Just standing here, the morale of the soldiers has reached its peak. It's really admirable."

This is the spirit of military morale.

"."

"promise!"

Anyone else would be surprised to see the scene just now.

They bowed to Wei Yuan one after another again,

Just waving the command flag, the originally noisy environment quickly fell silent, and then got back on track.

"The commander-in-chief rarely comes to the camp, but every time he comes, he always makes the soldiers extremely excited."

For example, Duke Fu, Duke An, etc., it's okay to tie them together, but it's almost meaningless to pick them out individually.

However, Wei Yuan did it.

For a moment, the soldiers standing on the school field felt as if they had been given a shot of blood.

His enthusiasm for training is much higher than before Wei Yuan's future.

Throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were very few generals who could do this.

After one word, they began to continue practicing.

"People say that a weak soldier will weaken a whole group of soldiers. These Paoze brothers trained with General Wei, and they are unparalleled in their bravery."

But I saw that he was just waving the flag lightly.

The moment he raised his hand, more and more soldiers lined up in formation with solemn expressions and remained silent, looking at him with great interest.

I dare not say that with just one action, the noisy army was quickly silenced.

Without saying anything, he mobilized the morale and ambition of the soldiers.

It can be said without any hesitation that if one day, the family and country are in turmoil, the country is unrest, and the emperor is killed.

Wei Yuan relied on the reputation of himself and his master to be able to pull out a king's division who were willing to follow him to the death.

If the prestige was higher, it would be possible even without using the name of the Emperor.

Of course, this is something.

Later, Wei Yuan took some of his confidants and inspected the entire barracks before asking about some things.
"According to the previous plan, new recruits and veterans are trained separately. Do the soldiers have any objections to this?"

Yang Huairen responded: "When I return to the Commander-in-Chief, I have never heard of any objections. On the contrary, veterans and new recruits often compete in martial arts to encourage each other."

Wei Yuan said: "Litigation is a tradition of the Daizhou border army. Now we are training new soldiers for the officials. The tradition cannot be forgotten."

"Yu Ming, please note that in a few days, the establishment of the lawsuit committee will be put on the agenda, and you will be in charge of this company."

Xiao Yuming bowed solemnly and said, "Commander Wei, please rest assured."

In the army, no matter how close you are to Wei Yuan, you only call him 'General' or 'Wei Commander' and a series of official titles.

This is also Wei Yuan's rule for running the army.

"Training for various arms to cooperate in combat operations must also be put on the agenda."

"For example, the Tiger Army under the command of Daniel not only needs to be good at riding and shooting, but also needs to train some special skills. They don't need to be perfect, but they need to be proficient."

"For example, in a group of cavalry, there must be someone who can form a shield formation, someone who can temporarily serve as a scout, and someone who is familiar with simple bandaging and first aid techniques."

"Like soldiers in a scout camp, they must not slack off in their fighting skills."

"For the rest, just practice according to the military training methods written by this commander."

If someone else in the army called Chen Yuanzhi a great man, he would probably fall out.

But only Wei Yuan and Xu Changzhi can.

Chen Yuanzhi and others all bowed and said, "No."

Wei Yuan added a few more points,
"After the new year, there will be a competition between new and old soldiers."

"Select three hundred outstanding people to form a full armor battalion." "The three hundred thousand taels of silver I brought today is the silver to prepare brand new armor and weapons for them."

"I request that all the three hundred officers and soldiers of the Manjia Battalion wear black hammer armor, and everyone wears bows and crossbows."

"There are also war horses. All Xixia horses are used, and the best Xixia horses are required."

The Black Hammer Armor is considered the best armor in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The entire body is made of black iron, making it invulnerable and expensive to build.

Generally speaking, only by becoming a Dutou can you be qualified to wear black hammer armor, but you may not be able to own it yet.

The so-called black iron is actually a kind of pitch black fine iron, which can only be made after thousands of hard work.

The special forces Wei Yuan wants to build is a heavily armored cavalry that can win every battle and can influence the outcome of the battlefield at critical moments.

The ideal staffing is around 1,000 people.

Now there are three hundred people, all testing the waters.

Because building a heavy cavalry costs a lot of money.

So far, there is no serious heavy armored cavalry in the Zhou army that can be compared with the heavy cavalry of the Liao State, the 'Tielin Army', and the Xixia heavy cavalry, the 'Iron Harrier'.

Wei Yuan wanted to change this situation, so he started from Manjia Camp.

The so-called full armor means that all the soldiers in this camp are heavily armored.

Unlike some other battalions, most soldiers can only wear simple cloth armor.

At the beginning, Zhang Fu came up with many ways to fight against the enemy's heavy cavalry.

Such as building your own heavy cavalry.

But because I wanted to have a large-scale heavy armored regiment from the beginning, I encountered many problems, such as lack of money, lack of horses, etc., and in the end I had to let it go.

Later, he changed his strategy and vigorously developed chariot troops, using chariots to fight heavy cavalry. Although the effect was effective, it was not obvious.

What Wei Yuan wants to do now is to train the new army into elite soldiers that will make everyone in the world fearful, and Manjia Battalion is the elite soldier among the elite soldiers.

He fully learned Zhang Fu's lessons and started with the initial 300 people and slowly trained and established them.

"In late March or early April next year, we will probably take new soldiers to the south to fight against Japanese pirates."

"This matter hasn't been formally discussed yet. It doesn't hurt if we close the door and talk about it, but we still have to wait for the final result."

The meaning of Wei Yuan's words was to make Yang Huairen and others feel a sense of urgency.

We will send troops to the south in March and April next year.

This means that there is not much time left for new army training.

Before that, Wei Yuan wanted to establish three hundred personal guards.

I've got all the money, but if I don't spend it, I feel bad.
-
During Wei Yuan's inspection of the barracks.

Minglan took the invitation to the British government and informed Zhang Guifen of Rong Feiyan's intention.

The latter said displeased: "She wants to invite me, so she can send the invitation herself."

"Now that I have to deliver it to you, what does this mean?"

"How can I, Zhang Guifen's niece, run errands for her?"

To be honest, if it were not for the favored concubine Rong, the family background of the wealthy Changbo would be far worse than that of the British prince.

Fu Changbo was at best the commander of the Guards.

This army is mainly responsible for many matters such as day and night patrols and vigilance in the palace and the capital.

Although he was a serious soldier of the emperor, compared with the military power held by Zhang Fu, it was simply dwarfed.

It stands to reason that Concubine Rong is the emperor's woman, and Uncle Fu Chang is a relative, so he cannot control such an important army.

But in order to show his favor to Concubine Rong, Zhao Zhen let Fu Changbo sit in that position.

At that time, it was strongly opposed by many officials.

But now even if Uncle Fu Chang has the support of his concubine, their family cannot compare to the British government.

Therefore, what Zhang Guifen said was not excessive at all.

Minglan smiled and said, "Don't be angry, aunt, I'm just sending her an invitation."

"Besides, I also miss you, aunt."

Zhang Guifen pinched Minglan's nose playfully,

"At last, my love for you was not in vain."

"Forget it, since you are delivering this invitation in person, I will always go."

Minglan playfully took Zhang Guifen's arm and said:

"I heard that there is a new cuisine in Fan Lou, shall we try it?"

Zhang Guifen covered her mouth and smiled, then gently tapped Minglan's forehead with her fingers.
"Snack food."
