Everything, when it is necessary to speed up, Li Xiu, the helmsman, can only personally control every detail.

He is like a sculptor, instilling his ideas into this army bit by bit, polishing and carving this army into the shape he needs bit by bit.

Time passed bit by bit in Li Xiu's carving and polishing.

This army, which has grown to more than [-] in number, is also changing bit by bit in the passage of time, slowly moving towards the most perfect army in his mind.

On this day, Zhending City, which was waiting to be rebuilt, has returned to its noisy appearance, but today, the east gate of Zhendingfu City, where people come and go in the past, is filled with chilling silence.

Outside the city gate, the army gathered.

If you are not in this era, it is hard to imagine what a shocking scene it would be to gather an army with tens of thousands of soldiers and a complete system.

The battle flag is unfurled, and the Sen Han soldiers are shining coldly under the scorching sun. At a glance, they are mighty and mighty, spreading to the sky!

On the tower, Li Xiu was also dressed in military uniform, holding a sword in his hand, and his blood-colored cloak fluttered. Behind him, Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of Zhending, also stood back half a step. At this moment, he was looking at the scene of the army standing in front of him. , is also flushed, the excitement is uncontrollable!

At this moment, Li Xiu looked at the army lined up under the tower, and his heart was also surging. This is the army he has poured countless efforts into!

It is also him, based on the foundation of this era, and the only reliance to realize what he wants!

Up to now, this army is no longer a newborn calf. From the beginning when Wei Zhongxian arranged to suppress the bandits in Beijing, to this time, after several months of uninterrupted conquests, iron and blood have already infiltrated this army unconsciously. among the army.

In other words, the Yongwei Battalion has already grown up. Although it is still far away from Li Xiu's request, such a military might, in the eyes of anyone, has to be shocked by it.

After all, in this era, just being able to thoroughly implement the discipline and military regulations can already disdain most of the army in this era.

He looked around the army, but finally fixed on the cavalry on the side of the army.

In the past few months, apart from the auxiliary soldiers, this cavalry has cost Li Xiu the most effort.

Whether it's collecting horses, expanding the cavalry, or training in battle formations, Li Xiu is almost unshakable in his daily supervision.

Up to now, with one man and two horses, this cavalry battalion has expanded from more than 2000 troops to [-] troops.

As for the combat power, although it is still immature, it has grown a lot compared to before!

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, Li Xiu took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and slowly uttered a few words: "Command, the drill begins!"

When the military order was issued, the messengers around him immediately moved for it, the drums rang suddenly, and the standard bearers waved the letter flag, and the general's order was clearly transmitted to the assembled army of the Yongwei Battalion.

"kill!"

There was a sudden sound of shouting and killing like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and the majestic army formation also moved with it!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Between the sound of orderly war drums, like an army array advancing, swords and guns lined up everywhere, and a strong sense of killing swept across the entire plain.

Although there is no single enemy, but at this moment, it seems that there are thousands of troops charging ahead.

Move like a mountain, move like a thunder!

This iron-blooded army, which Li Xiu had placed high hopes on since its birth, is not weak in the slightest. Military orders have been issued layer by layer. Tens of thousands of soldiers are integrated into one body, each formation evolves, and each tactics are assaulted!

Since becoming an army, all the achievements are displayed at this moment!

Be dazzled and amazed!

If you don't break the enemy army, you will never return!

The majestic and majestic scene, amidst the battle drums and gunpowder smoke, is enough to make any bloody person intoxicated by it!

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng beside Li Xiu is the best proof.

Judging by his appearance, he was completely intoxicated by the fighting and gunpowder, and after several months of getting along, Li Xiu had no doubts about Lu Xiangsheng's love for military affairs.

What's more, in Li Xiu's view, this Lu Xiangsheng, no matter in character or appearance, has nothing to do with civil servants. To say that he is a fierce general who charges into the battle is more worthy of the name.

"Such a large army, I'm afraid it can only be seen under the command of General Li!"

It wasn't until the rehearsal was almost over that Lu Xiangsheng sighed reluctantly.

"Aren't you also training the army in Jiantai? How effective are you?"

Li Xiu smiled, turned his gaze, and looked at the unmoved army formation on the side of the army. If he remembered correctly, it was the result of Lu Xiangsheng's military rectification in the past few months. He specially brought it here to watch the drill this time.

"The army of the guard, what effect can it have!"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head, looked at the army formation as well, and said helplessly: "There are too many involved, and the whole army is only on the surface, so it is difficult to achieve much!"

"As long as there is an effect, take it slowly, and there will always be a day of success!"

Li Xiu replied irrefutably, the local guards involved too much and too much, even if he was allowed to go, it would be difficult to achieve results in a short time.

For recruiting soldiers, there is no imperial order, not to mention the magistrate, even the governor, the governor, recruiting soldiers privately is a serious crime of copying the nine clans!

In his opinion, if Lu Xiangsheng wants to show his ambitions, he may have to wait until Houjin breaks through and threatens the capital, and then the emperor orders all regions to serve the king. He may take this opportunity to recruit troops to serve the king and achieve his wish!

The famous Tianxiong Army in history, King Lu Yan, probably will not be able to show its first trace until then!

Chapter 1 Thirty: Preparation for the Award

"Hey, it's rare to be happy, not to talk about these disappointing things!"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head:

"It's been so long since I've been here in Zhending Mansion, and I haven't entertained you yet. Tomorrow you're going to lead an army. I've prepared food and drinks here. Let's have a good drink, so that you won't say that I don't treat guests well!"

"Farewell wine, it must be good wine, otherwise, I won't drink it!"

It was also rare for Li Xiu to make a joke.

"Then don't worry, it's naturally good wine. I've kept it for a long time. If it's someone else, I'd be reluctant to give it to him!"

After joking around a few words, Lu Xiangsheng walked down the tower. At this time, the army had also finished its drill and was already gathering.

Naturally, a huge rehearsal is not simply going through the motions, just to have a good time.

Finding and solving problems is the ultimate goal of the exercise.

A military order was issued, and all the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion assembled.

Li Xiu never liked any long speeches. In his opinion, if a problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who cannot solve the problem!

In this era, there are not so many restrictions, and there is no reason to speak in the army.

Commanding the army to treat illnesses for so long, the officers and men of the Yongwei Battalion obviously knew very well about Li Xiu, the general's temperament.

The order is issued, and there is no nonsense at all.

An impromptu meeting was held for more than an hour before it could barely come to an end.

Some people are happy, and naturally others are worried.

Of course, the joy is to reward meritorious deeds. Yes, even though Li Xiu’s so-called “rewards” for the Shaanxi General Soldier and the General Conquering Captives were sent over by the imperial court long ago, the military merit rewards for all the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion are not It was only after a few months that it was long overdue.

There is nothing deducted from the rewards, except for the promotion of the military rank, there are only some pitiful silver taels, wine and meat.

Li Xiu was so stingy with goods that Li Xiu couldn't stand it, so he deliberately moved some from Yongweiying's family property and added them in.

What is worrying is naturally a series of personnel changes.

And Li Xiu's rule has always been that the capable go up and the mediocre go down. His control over the Yongwei Battalion is sufficient to implement this rule, and no one can hinder him.

The entire reward summary lasted for more than two hours before it was finally over. The worries of a few individuals naturally did not affect the joy of the vast majority of soldiers. It's enough to make people's blood spurt and go crazy.

"General, General!"

As soon as he returned to the handsome tent, Erwazi rushed in.

"Ok?"

Seeing the change in Li Xiu's expression, Er Wazi also subconsciously stopped, and said with a flattering smile: "Brother Xiu, I don't know cavalry, wouldn't it delay the cavalry camp if I go to the cavalry camp!"

"If you don't know how to learn, what a big deal."

Li Xiu waved his hand indifferently.

"But I feel that the infantry army is quite suitable for us. Brother Xiu, look, this time I lead the troops to go out, and there is nothing wrong with it. Brother Xiu, I have completed everything you told me!"

Erwazi was rambling on, but Li Xiu was rummaging through the bookshelf on his own. After a while, a stack of books was placed on the table.

"Take these military books and take a good look. They are all about cavalry warfare. If you don't understand anything, just ask me, Yan Shun for advice."

"I have promised Yan Shun that after three months, he will be transferred from the cavalry to the infantry. When the time comes, you will lead the cavalry battalion."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiu raised his head to look at the helpless Erwazi, and added: "Yan Shun's temper is not suitable for cavalry, and I can't find a suitable candidate now, please help me lead the cavalry battalion first, learn more It's good to have something."

Having said all of this, Er Wazi was reluctant to say anything more, so he walked forward slowly and hugged the stack of military books in his arms.

Turning around, it can be said to look back three times at a step, hoping that Li Xiu will change his mind...

Li Xiu naturally chose to ignore this guy's appearance, pretending to look down at the file on the table, until the second child walked out of the tent, Li Xiu raised his head somewhat helplessly.

There is no way to drive the ducks to the shelves.

The cavalry is too important for the brave guard battalion.

And Yan Shun, a thorough infantry general, laid the foundation for the cavalry battalion when he was first established, and it was okay to implement discipline. After the cavalry army was formed, it would be a bit so-so to let him lead the cavalry to fight.

From this exercise, it can be clearly seen from the performance of the cavalry that they followed the rules and did not make any mistakes, but they did not have the slightest outstanding performance.

But for a cavalry army, the most important thing is to use its terrifying maneuverability to cope with the battlefield, and even determine the outcome.

Following the rules will undoubtedly fail to achieve what Li Xiu wants, and Yan Shun himself obviously has self-knowledge, so he took the initiative to find him before the rehearsal.

But looking at the entire Brave Guard Battalion, there is no doubt that there is no one who can reassure Li Xiu and take on this important task.

That being the case, then choose the taller out of the shorter ones, and this second child who has been carefully taught by him is all just trying to drive ducks to the shelves.

After all, Jin Yiwei, this kid is doing well, he can do well in the personal guard battalion, and he is quite good at leading the army alone, so let's change to the cavalry battalion and try his skills.

If it doesn't work, Yan Shun can only continue to bear the burden. As for the so-called three-month period, it is naturally fabricated by fooling Erwazi...

Thinking of the reluctance of the second child, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile, stood up, and fixed his eyes on the vivid sand table in front of him.

For several months, although he never led the army into Shaanxi under the repeated urging of the court, it does not mean that he did nothing.

There is a saying in the art of war, the soldiers and horses are not moved, but the food and grass go first.

But just as important as food and grass is the grasp of enemy situation intelligence.

In a few months, besides the source of information from Dongchang, he himself also sent a large number of scouts to infiltrate into Shaanxi to inquire about the current situation in Shaanxi.

And all the information is finally summarized and presented on the sand table in front of you.

The Butterfly Effect has already changed the face of this era, and the civil unrest in Shaanxi that directly led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty in history has also changed beyond recognition.

Although the current Shaanxi has not yet reached the peak of the outbreak of civil unrest in history, it is so. Today, the corruption of Shaanxi is also unprecedented in the history of this dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that although no important towns have fallen in Shaanxi today, it can be said that bandits are everywhere!

Most of the once glorious rebel leaders in history, such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, have also appeared on the stage, but now, most of them are still unknown. Under the butterfly effect, can they still reach the historical heights? Still unknown.

Chapter 131 Another Assassination

Of course, for Li Xiu, the civil unrest in Shaanxi is not the current focus

After all, the imperial court had already transferred Yang He to serve as the governor of the three sides, and presided over the suppression of thieves and rebellion.

In other words, the battle against rebellion has already started in Shaanxi.

And it was undoubtedly extremely embarrassing for him to lead the army into Shaanxi.

He didn't know exactly how Zhu Youjian fought with the court officials, but according to the original court order, his department seemed to be under the jurisdiction of the three governors.

But in fact, as the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, as well as the most important name of the imperial court's general who conquered captives, and the emperor's pro-army, no one can tell if he is not the governor of the three sides.

But you don't need to think about it, no matter whether it is public or private, the governors of the three sides will naturally not allow the Yongwei Battalion to be out of their sphere of influence under the overall situation of suppressing thieves.

In this way, how to grasp the balance and lead the army to fight the counter-insurgency battle while blocking the open and hidden arrows is what Li Xiu needs to consider.

"Come on!"

After thinking for a long time, Li Xiu looked outside the tent.

"The end is here!"

"Send people to the three-sided governor's mansion, and say that the general will go out in a few days, um...that's all, let's go!"

"The last will obey!"

The general retreated, Li Xiu looked around at the sand table in front of him, pondered for a while, then took a step, and after leaving the tent, he went straight to Zhending City.

It has been several months since the battle against the thieves, and I have to say that Lu Xiangsheng's ability is still good. In a few months, this Zhending Mansion already has a sense of peace.

The tens of thousands of disaster victims who were captured at the beginning have been resettled. Of course, the conditions are naturally not good. However, for the people of this era, the requirements are really not high. There is hope of survival. Even if they have a little hope, they will Honestly carry everything down, working day after day and year after year.
