Originally Yang Zhen had no intention of annexing them, so after listening to Xu Changyong's words, he nodded and then looked at Zu Keyong.

I saw Zu Keyong saying: "This time, Zu was ordered to follow Yang Xie to the north. He should obey the order and obey the command! It's just that the heavy cavalry of the commander-in-chief led by Zu was ordered by the commander-in-chief to follow Wu Sangui and Wu Xie.

The subordinates of the town have made temporary arrangements. At the end of this trip, everyone will also have to return to their headquarters! This situation needs to be explained in advance to avoid misunderstandings when we arrive!"

The conflict between Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong left Yang Zhen helpless.

Yang Zhen knew in his heart that these two people had misunderstood him.

Therefore, as soon as Zu Keyong finished speaking, Yang Zhen immediately said with a smile: "Brother Xu! Brother Zu! You two really misunderstood! Brother, I asked the governor to write a handwritten flag today, just to unify the orders and facilitate the command! There is absolutely no difference.

Meaning!"

After saying this, Yang Zhen looked at the two people who were still doubtful and continued: "On the way north in the future, the war will be fierce and dangerous! We, a group of about 600 people, boarded the ship, marched, stationed, supplied, scouted and prepared for war.

, it’s impossible to have no rules! Today’s rearrangement is just for the convenience of marching and combat command! Temporary arrangement, that’s what it means. When the mission comes in the future, naturally everyone will go back to his own home and find his own mother! How can brothers dare to say anything?

!?"

After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he laughed along with them, looked at Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong, and swore that he had no other intentions.

Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong looked at each other again, clasped their fists at Yang Zhen and said, "In that case, I would like to hear the details!"

Seeing this, Yang Zhen quickly said: "Brother Xu and the ancestors are all cavalry now. Naturally, they are still cavalry in our advance camp, and they are still cavalry!

"However, the Mongolian soldiers under Brother Xu's command are all light cavalry. They come and go like the wind and are the most swift. Brothers mean to organize them into an advance battalion and forward sentry cavalry. Of course, they are still commanded by Brother Xu!

"As for the commander-in-chief of the central army led by Brother Zu, they are all armored and heavily cavalry, equipped with strong armor and strong-willed. They are best at overcoming difficulties and charging into battle. They should prepare cavalry for the Chinese army! They are still commanded by Brother Zu!"

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen sighed in his heart. The troops Zu Dashou allocated to him were actually for him to go to Jinzhou Songshan for rescue, and Yang Zhen was not consulted at all.

At that time, Yang Zhen's own ideas were not mature enough, and he did not dare to reject Zu Dashou's arrangement on the spot in public.

If he had been able to make his own decision at that time and choose to allocate troops to the north, he would definitely not have wanted these people.

Because for him, infantry gunners or gunmen were the most suitable personnel to carry out his plan to go north by sea, but cavalry was troublesome.

However, now that the matter has come to this, he can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor and make do with it.

When Yang Zhen said this, Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong looked at each other again, with smiles on their faces. They were relieved to know that the so-called "temporary arrangement" in Yang Zhen's mouth turned out to be this.

After talking about the arrangements for Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong, the remaining Zhang Degui and Li Lu are our own people, so they can make any arrangements they want.

Just listen to Yang Zhen say: "Zhang Degui, Li Lu! Before sunset today, you two are going to divide the 180 or so people in the old camp into three groups and select forty people who are proficient in shotguns and firecrackers.

, form an advance battalion musketry team, and centrally distribute the Rumi guns brought by the ancestor brothers to them, under my direct command!

"Then, we will select those who are familiar with the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the Folang Machine, or the Nine-Headed Bird. Two people will have one Nine-Headed Bird, three people will have one Tiger Crouching Cannon, and four people will have one Folang Machine. Eighty people will be selected.

People are organized into the advance battalion artillery team! They don't care about anything and are only responsible for firing artillery! They are commanded by Zhang Degui!

"In the end, the sixty or so people left formed a team of their own and were unified into the grenadiers of the advance battalion! In addition to retaining bows and knives for self-protection, the grenadiers are specialized in throwing gunpowder bombs! You must try your best, as soon as possible, to

Collect all the tens of thousands of enemies, dragon king cannons, and thunderous cannons that can be found in Ningyuan City! Let them use them! All grenadiers will be under the command of Li Lu!"

Having said this, Yang Zhen did not wait for others to react, and said to Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong: "Brother Xu! Brother Zu! Today, brothers have requested military orders. At dusk on the fourth day of March, we will start from

Depart from the east gate and head to the mouth of the Ningyuan River, where you can board a boat and head north!

"So, starting from today, for as little as ten days or as many as more than a month, Yang and Brother Xu will truly be in the same boat! If we win, we will all be happy; if we lose, we will die without a burial place! We are one

All suffer loss! One glory, all glory!

"The things that Yang just mentioned, such as muskets, artillery, and gunpowder bombs, are really a big help for the six hundred or so of us to survive from death!

"Right now, Yang's camp is short of firearms and ammunition. Although we have invited Commander Zu and Fang Fuyuan to give military orders, we still need the help of these two in the Ningyuan Army!"

At this point, Yang Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up, then knelt on one knee at the head of the kang, and made a big salute to Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong with clasped fists.

After Yang Zhen knelt down on one knee to salute Zu Keyong and Xu Changyong, Zhang Degui and Li Lu naturally could not remain indifferent and could no longer sit in their original positions.

Moreover, both of them knew what Yang Zhen meant. Without Zu Keyong and Xu Changyong's help, even with Fang Yizao's order, there would probably be no big deal in Ningyuan City, which was dominated by the Zu Family Army.

use.

Therefore, the two of them immediately followed Yang Zhen and saluted Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong.

Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong were caught off guard and quickly gave way.

Xu Changyong even avoided it while waving his hands and saying: "Oh my god - Brother Yang, Brother Zhang, Brother Li, what are you doing?! Get up quickly, get up quickly! If you have something to say, let's talk! We are on the same boat.

Yes, even if Xu puts his face aside, he still has to help you get your things together!"

Zu Keyong also followed up and said: "Yang Xiezhen! Zhang Guoji! Brother Li! Please get up quickly! Since firearms are so important to Yang Xiezhen's plan, and there are military orders from the commander-in-chief, then the various firearms in Ningyuan's army,

Gunpowder and projectiles are not decided by our advance battalion! Commander-in-Chief, if you like that kind of firearm, make a list and give it to Zu!

"As for Ningyuan City, military equipment, supplies, and even food, wages, and supplies are all dispatched and supplied by Dr. Yuan. Since Yang Xiezhen has already requested military orders from the governor, there must be no problem with Dr. Yuan!"

With Xu Changyong's expression, especially Zu Keyong's statement, Yang Zhen finally felt relieved.

In order to find a way out in this era, especially at this time, Yang Zhen really couldn't think of any other better way besides improving firearms and reusing them.

By taking the sea route, you might be able to avoid encountering Tatar cavalry on the way and avoid the tragic fate of being annihilated by the Tatars.

However, when you get to the sea outside Songshan City, or to the outlet of Xiaoling River, even if you are lucky enough, you can go all the way along the Xiaoling River and reach the Empress Palace closest to Songshan City. Yang Zhen's troops want to get closer

Songshan City, you still need to go ashore.

At this time, outside Songshan and Jinzhou cities, there were heavy Tatar troops everywhere. As long as they got ashore, they would encounter the Tatars sooner or later.

Although Yang Zhen knew that the areas where the Tatars set up ambushes or deployed heavy troops at this time were mainly south and west of Songshan and around Jinzhou, they did not place the threat from the sea in an important position.

However, he could never guarantee that the Tatars had no troops stationed on the coast east of Songshan City or at the mouth of the Xiaoling River.

Therefore, in Yang Zhen's vision, once he encounters a small group of Tatars, he will use the existing firearms to try his best to win the battle in order to boost the morale of the army.

By the spring of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, in the war with the Jurchen Tatars, the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers had not won a victory for a long time.

Therefore, even a small victory will be immediately heard by the heavens. In this way, on the one hand, it can quickly make oneself famous, and on the other hand, it can also help oneself rewrite the history of the Ming Dynasty in this parallel time and space.

destiny.

Of course, if he unexpectedly encounters a large number of Tatars after landing ashore, he will definitely not choose to fight head-on. If this happens, he will leave some of the troops behind and lead the others back to the sea.

As for falling into a Tatar ambush trap after landing ashore, there is no need to say anything. We can only do our best to obey fate as in history.

In the afternoon of that day, after several people met, they initially decided on the basic composition of the "temporary Ningyuan advance camp", and then several people quickly took action according to Yang Zhen's statement.

Xu Changyong needed to place his own soldiers and servants among the three hundred Mongolian soldiers as soon as possible to serve as commanders, generals, and sentry officers in order to firmly control the three hundred Mongolian soldiers.

Therefore, after several people's discussion was over, Xu Changyong immediately left in a hurry.

Yang Zhen, on the other hand, asked someone to find pen and ink, and wrote down a pile of required firearms, ammunition and other military supplies in a crooked way, and handed it to Zu Keyong, who had promised him with a pat on his chest, and asked Zu Keyong to lead people forward immediately.

Go search.

At the same time, Yang Zhen's right-hand men, Zhang Degui and Li Lu, summoned all the soldiers of Yang Zhen's old army to gather on the small school field. According to Yang Zhen's words, they selected and assigned the musketeers, artillery teams and grenadiers.

Very busy.

When Yang Zhen went out again and went to the governor's office to ask Yuan Shu, the governor's salary officer, to allocate firearms and ammunition for military supplies, the red flag with the words "Temporary Ningyuan Advance Battalion" had been replaced by Yang Zhen's personal captain——

Chief Yang Zhan'ao built a tall flagpole and set it up in front of the gate of the courtyard where Yang Zhen lived.
