Chapter 158 Full Armor 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.

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

However, Wei Yuan did it.

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.

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

But I saw that he was just waving the command flag gently.

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

They bowed to Wei Yuan one after another again,

"promise!"

After one word, they began to continue practicing.

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

This is the spirit of military morale.

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."

"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."

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

"."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 to inspect 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 frontier 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, "Commander Wei, please rest assured."

In the military, 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 Tigers and Guards Army under the command of Daniel must not only practice riding and shooting well, but also train some special skills. They don't want to be perfect, but they must 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 the Manjia Battalion."

"The three hundred thousand taels of silver I brought today is the money to prepare brand new armor and weapons for them."

"I request that all the three hundred officers and soldiers of 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 create 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 camps, 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.

For example, building his own heavy cavalry.

But because he wanted to have a large and well-organized heavy armored corps at the beginning, he encountered many problems, such as lack of money and horses, and finally he could only let it go.

Later, he changed his strategy and vigorously developed chariot soldiers to fight heavy cavalry with chariots. Although there was an effect, it was not obvious.

What Wei Yuan has to do now is to train the new army into elite soldiers that will scare the world, and the full armor camp is the elite of the elite soldiers.

He fully learned from Zhang Fu's lessons and started with the first 300 people.

"In late March or early April after the New Year, we may take the new recruits to the south to fight Japanese pirates."

"This matter has not been formally discussed yet. It's okay for us to talk about it behind closed doors, but we still need to wait for the final result."

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

Send troops to the south in March or April next year.

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

Before that, Wei Yuan wants to establish 300 guards.

The money has been obtained, but I feel uncomfortable if I don't spend it.

——

While Wei Yuan was inspecting the barracks.

Minglan took the invitation to the Duke of Ying's Mansion and told Zhang Guifen what Rong Feiyan meant.

The latter said unhappily: "She wanted to invite me to go, let her deliver the invitation herself."

"Now you are asked to deliver it, what's the point?"

"How can my niece Zhang Guifen run errands for her?"

To be honest, if it weren't for the favored Rong Fei, the family background of Fuchang Bo would be far inferior to that of the Duke of Ying's Mansion.

Fuchang Bo is at best the commander of the guards.

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

Although it is a formal emperor's personal army, it is nothing compared to the military power in Zhang Fu's hands.

Logically speaking, Rong Fei was the emperor's woman, and Fu Chang Bo was a relative, and could not control such an important army.

But in order to show his favor to Rong Fei, Zhao Zhen let Fu Chang Bo sit in that position.

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

But now even if Fu Chang Bo has Rong Fei's support, their family can't compare with the Duke of Ying's Mansion.

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

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

"Besides, I miss you, aunt."

Zhang Guifen pinched Minglan's nose playfully,

"Finally, I didn't love you in vain."

"Well, since you are here to send the invitation in person, I will go anyway."

Minglan smiled and took Zhang Guifen's arm, saying:

"I heard that Fanlou has a new dish, let's go and try it?"

Zhang Guifen smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and then gently touched Minglan's forehead with her finger,

"Little foodie."
