Chapter 883
At the end of last year, the cabinet decided to expand the navy and horse army, and the council and Gao Yihuan both nodded in agreement.

The navy came down to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, while the horse army came to sweep the north.

Of course, the horse army cannot be trained in a short period of time, and the reason why the horse army is difficult to train is not how difficult the horse is to ride. Anyone who has learned how to ride a horse knows that a fast person takes a morning, and a stupid person takes a day or two You can also run on horseback. The difficult part of Majun is that after you get on the horseback, you still need to fight, ride and shoot.

In order to make the horse army quickly form combat power, the Wei army selected [-] infantry to form dragon cavalry and musketeer cavalry.

In this way, there is no need for the soldiers to have high riding and shooting abilities. Dragon riders are infantry on horseback. They just use horses instead of walking to enhance their mobility. Nearly seven months are enough for these infantry to learn how to ride horses.

In fact, they can not only ride horses, but also wield sabers and slash, and some cavalry who are outstanding and can shoot guns on horseback are incorporated into musket cavalry.

At this time, these soldiers and horses were concentrated in Guanzhong for training, and the tents of nearly [-] troops spread for more than ten miles.

After hearing what Xu Heihu and others said, Gao Yihuan saw that they were quite confident, so he raised his head, glanced at the nearby camps, ordered one at random, raised his whip and smiled, "Let's go to that camp!"

Gao Yihuan spot-checked one of them to prevent the general from engaging in superficial kung fu.

A group of people rode their horses and galloped past, only to see the large tents neatly and orderly. When Gao Yihuan entered the camp, thousands of soldiers and generals came up to greet him. The atmosphere was very enthusiastic, and they all said, "Your Majesty!"

Gao Yihuan looked at the soldiers who were staring at him and waved his hands, and the crowd fell silent immediately.

"Soldiers and soldiers, I have come here today because I have a heavy responsibility for you!" Gao Yihuan said loudly, attracting everyone's attention, and then changed the topic, "However, this task is relatively difficult. You have only trained for half a year. The Lonely King doesn't know if everyone has developed their skills, and he hesitates whether to entrust the important task to you?"

"Brothers, show the king what you are capable of!" Xu Heihu immediately raised his arms and shouted.

It was noon at this time, and the soldiers had just finished their training, but after hearing this, they immediately brought their horses and turned on their feet.

"My lord, this way please!" As soon as Wu Guozhu stretched out his hand, the generals surrounded Gao Yihuan and came to the school grounds.

Not long after, more than 3000 Wei soldiers stationed on the school grounds on horseback, and demonstrated to Gao Yihuan the most basic cavalry abilities such as rushing up steep slopes, jumping trenches, and galloping on horseback.

The Ministry of War did not choose the Guanzhong Plain as the training ground, but the relatively complex terrain at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, because the cavalry can run horses here, so it is easy to gallop on the plains and grasslands.

Gao Yihuan nodded in satisfaction when he saw the cavalry galloping like a dragon, raising billows of yellow dust.

At this time, after more than 3000 cavalrymen practiced their basic skills, the cavalrymen with muskets on their backs suddenly reined in their horses, drew out their sabers in unison, and galloped towards the human-shaped target area in the distance. .

"That's right, you can ride and slash!" Gao Yihuan praised.

"I have practiced for seven months, and I still feel like a bird. I think it is too far away." Xu Heihu said the most modest words in the most complacent tone.

While talking, the cavalry practiced riding and chopping, and then began to practice firing the gun immediately. The cavalry galloped fifty paces away from the target, reined in their horses and fired a shot.

It can be seen that it is indeed a little short of fire, but in terms of training time, it is already quite good.

At this moment, Gao Yihuan turned his head and asked Chen Mingxia who was beside him, "Is there any clue about the rifle made by the Ministry of Industry?"

Chen Mingxia was slightly taken aback, thought for a while, and then remembered what happened, and hurriedly said: "The sample gun has been made, and the officials of the Ministry of War test said that the effect is good, but the Ministry of Industry said that it is troublesome to drill the spiral rifling in the barrel. Mass production is temporarily not possible."

The current flintlock guns are not very accurate. If rifled guns come out, the Wei army will basically be invincible in the world.

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and then said to the generals: "Very good, you have practiced well! Hei Hu, Wu Guozhu, you two go back to Wang Jing to discuss matters."

At that moment, Gao Yihuan asked Xu Heihu to call back the cavalry from the drill, and then gave another lecture, "The lonely king watched your drill and knew that you were not lazy, and you have already practiced your skills. The lonely king is very pleased, and can safely entrust you with important tasks gone."

All the soldiers raised their weapons high and cheered, "Your Majesty! Long live!"

Amidst the cheers, Gao Yihuan led people to inspect several camps, and left Zhongnan Mountain in the afternoon and returned to Wangjing.

At the end of July, Gao Yihuan summoned the generals to discuss the current situation in Wang Jing's five-army governor's mansion.

At this time, he was standing in front of the sand table, several governors, and a group of soldiers surrounded the sand table.

Gao Yihuan looked around the crowd and said: "According to reliable news, Dorgon wants to exchange Huaibei to Nanjing in exchange for a batch of grain and supplies. There are many fertile fields in Huaibei, which are convenient for irrigation. Dorgon is willing to give up Huaibei, which shows that he has made up his mind to withdraw outside the pass. In order to prevent it, the Qing army slipped away after harvesting the wheat, and the lonely king decided to launch a war against the Qing!"

At this time, Jin Shenghuan said: "Your Majesty, I ask for orders to attack Luoyang. Within a month, the entire territory of Henan will definitely be recovered."

Gao Yihuan cast a glance at Jin Shenghuan, he was a little anxious recently.It turned out that Jin Shenghuan was the number one general under Gao Yihuan, but now his position was replaced by Xu Heihu. In addition, Li Dingguo, Zhao Daxian, and Hu Dawei were all approaching in front of him, making him eager to make contributions.

He had already been investigated by people. Most of the Qing army in Luoyang had withdrawn. At the end of the year, he was going to fight down, but was held down by Gao Yihuan. Now, taking this opportunity, he brought up the old story again, hoping to gain the merits of taking Luoyang .

Gao Yihuan saw Jin Shenghuan's anxious face, and thought that Lao Jin hadn't had a chance to show his face since the Battle of Southern Henan, so he was really anxious.

"The attack on Luoyang is none other than the Huchen!" Gao Yihuan smiled slightly.

Jin Shenghuan was overjoyed, as he was waiting for an opportunity, but just as he was about to accept the order, Gao Yihuan waved his hand and changed the topic, "But Luoyang can't start the war first, the lonely king is going to close the door and beat the dog this time!"

Gao Yihuan glanced at everyone, picked up the wooden pole and pointed at the sand table and said: "Now there is civil strife in Moxi, my Great Wei has controlled Hetao, and Mobei has no strength to attack Dawei. From Datong to Guihua City, after passing through Chahar to There are no obstacles on the road in western Liaoning."

Gao Yihuan pointed the wooden pole to the west of Liaoxi, and said in a solemn voice, "Xuan Yiwei beat the newspaper, Hong Chengchou, an old thief, is building cities in Jinzhou, Songshan, and Daling River. The thief will come to the siege of Songshan again to see if the old thief can die of embarrassment!"
