Great Martial Arts Auxiliary System

Chapter 951 The Eve of Departure
After all, Shangguanxiong, the Lord of Zhen Guo, gave them promotions according to his work, although their official positions have not yet been officially conferred by the court.

However, with the prestige of Lord Zhen Guo, few people in the army dared to say anything.

Although he was transferred away, at least in the eyes of outsiders, and the soldiers at the bottom of the army, there was nothing wrong with Zhen Guogong Shangguanxiong's move.

There are only so many military positions in the Southeast Army. These people have been promoted, and if they are not transferred, is it possible to ask the people above to move them?

Moreover, this is also a common practice in the army. After all, the Yu Dynasty had a vast territory, and generals were required to be stationed in various places.

In the past, a group of generals in several major armies, after making contributions, would be sent to the local area as generals if they were not promoted in the army.

The most important reason why Zhen Guogong Shangguanxiong has a high prestige in Dayu's army is because of Shangguan's ace Northern Army.

The Northern Legion was stationed in the northern border and fought the northern captives most frequently, so there were naturally many generals who made meritorious service.

In this way, over time, those generals who were sent down by the Northern Legion to the localities will naturally attach themselves to the Shangguan family consciously.

While indirectly strengthening the power of the Shangguan family, it also gave these generals a strong guarantee.

There are people in the court who are good at being officials, and the Shangguan family supports them. These generals who have been transferred to the local areas will naturally benefit a lot.

The Shangguan family, which has absolute power in the central government, also has many supporting forces in the local area, so naturally no one can shake the Shangguan family's right to speak in the military.

This is also why the Shangguan family has such a great momentum in Dayu.

Although the transfer of this part of the generals was quite large, it did not cause the stability of the Southeast Army.

For a long time, Shangguan Xiong, Duke of Zhen Guo, has held a very high status in the hearts of soldiers at all levels.

With both kindness and power, he has never drank the blood of soldiers and withheld the merits of soldiers, so he is deeply supported by the soldiers at the bottom.

After those factors of instability were completely eradicated, the soldiers naturally settled down.

Of course, what is most needed is that most of the soldiers of the Southeast Army were born in the south, and their families have no worries. As for who they will work for, the bottom soldiers don't have much choice.

People follow the trend blindly. Generally, as long as their immediate boss is loyal to someone, most of these low-level soldiers will also obey him.

Nowadays, most of the soldiers at the bottom support and agree with the Shangguan family of Lord Zhen Guo, and the generals at all levels also tend to favor the Shangguan family, so naturally there will be no worries.

In just half a month, all the soldiers turned from being loyal to the imperial court to being loyal to the Shangguan family from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, there has not been much turmoil during this period, and even weakened the morale of half of the army.

Lu Qi, Yidao Hanxue and the others who had been following Shangguan Qiuyu's side all the time were in a cold sweat when they saw this way of turning their hands into clouds and turning their hands into rain.

Especially when they discovered that Shangguan Qiuyu seemed to have a pair of piercing eyes that could almost see through people's hearts, they not only murmured in their hearts.

As the chief arrester of the arrest department, he is cold-blooded and a leader who collects intelligence from all over the world. He knows all too well that those who were selected by Shangguan Qiuyu and then sent away are probably the eyeliners placed by various forces in the Southeast Army. and Anzi.

Some of them, even the arrest department and Zhen Guogong Shangguanxiong himself, have not seen it, but now the major general has seen through it at a glance.

For this reason, Yidao Hanxue couldn't help but consider whether it was right or wrong for him to rely on Shangguan's family.

After all, people who can easily read people's hearts are really jealous.

Everything is ready, and it is time for the rested army to leave.

After this period of accelerated training, the changes of the water bandits are beyond everyone's imagination.

Under the guidance of a group of begging guards, the water bandits who are usually gangsters have become more honest and have a bit of a soldier.

The reason why these people are so honest, except for the warships like the Kowloon battleship that brought them hope.

Thanks to Shangguan Qiuyu's initial iron-blooded means, the scene of blood-stained Bashui Lake left an indelible shadow in everyone's hearts.

Therefore, although everyone is still a little unaccustomed to the rules in the army.However, no one dared to offend easily.

After all, the military law in the army is harsh, and the low-level officers are all served by a group of begging spirit guards. If someone still does not repent, then the begging spirit guards and soldiers don't know what it means to be merciful.

With a big stick, these guys can't tolerate the stinky problems of the past.

Therefore, under the training of Shangguan Qiuyu, these water bandits who were vicious a moment ago have basically shown signs of elite teachers.

At the Fuling Ferry, hundreds of troop carriers were docked neatly on the shore at this moment, and their huge tonnage was even higher than that of the Jiulong battleship.

However, the Kowloon battleship is a battleship after all, and its configuration is far beyond that of a troop carrier, which has no combat capabilities.

However, although the troop carrier is not a combat ship, its defense is not ambiguous at all.

The surface of all troop carriers is inlaid with iron sheets, which can isolate water and fire, and the defense is only slightly worse than that of the Kowloon battleship.

In order to avoid accidents on the way, Shangguan Qiuyu specially equipped a certain proportion of archers and sailors on the troop carrier.

Finally, they saw that there were a large number of bamboo forests near the Fuling Ferry, so they ordered a large number of bamboo rafts to be placed on the boat for emergencies.

These troop carriers have a total of five floors. Although they are half shorter than the Nine Dragons in height, each floor is much more spacious than the Nine Dragons.

The entire troop carrier, in addition to being able to carry nearly ten thousand soldiers, can additionally carry the food and grass supplies that nearly ten thousand soldiers need for a month.

However, it is not easy to light a fire and cook on the boat. All kinds of dry food have been prepared a few days ago, so there is no need to put too much food and grass on the boat.

In this way, the weight of the troop carriers was reduced by half, and they could barely keep up with the speed of the warships.

In addition to these hundreds of troop carriers, there are also various small and medium-sized warships gathered at Fuling Ferry.

There are nearly [-] large and small warships in total. After all, this has almost caught up with two-thirds of the number of Nandi Navy warships.

You must know that these warships are not the broken copper and iron in the hands of the water bandits on the water in the Southland.

Many of these small and medium-sized warships almost all came from the Xiang family, one of the five surnames, although many of them were warships that had been in service for several years.

However, compared to the warships in the southern land that have not been replaced for more than ten years, the performance of these warships is absolutely nothing to say.

Moreover, most of it was produced by the Xiang family's overtime work in the past two months.

It was precisely because of this that Shangguan Qiuyu almost wanted to attack the Xiang family. After all, more than a thousand new warships could be built in such a short period of time.

This shipbuilding ability simply made Shangguan Qiuyu jealous.

Fortunately, he knows that his family is still in the other party's territory, and the five surnamed families are always in the same spirit. If his family really attacks the Xiang family, it will not be worth the loss if the other families join forces to expel them.
