Chapter 125 Prologue
In front of Changlin Temple, a square formation stood. Chen Kai nodded, and the selected and reorganized small force disbanded and returned to camp.
Compared with half a year ago, Changlin Temple is still Changlin Temple, and the small temple still looks the same. Chen Kai has actually transported a batch of food and a batch of weapons in the past six months. The scene just now has obviously reflected
On that small army.
"According to the instructions of joining the army, we selected more than two hundred people from the volunteers who stayed behind, and taught them spears, foot bows and swords. In the past few months, we have been practicing the formation, and now we have achieved some success. It's just that
…”
Speaking of this, Lu Ruoji seemed a little hesitant, but Chen Kai had a good reputation and was a scholar highly respected by his brother. He also admired his political skills, but this was military training after all. In the Ming Dynasty, it was mostly
As for the work of a military general, civilian officials occasionally wrote some military art, but the actual effect could not be confirmed. As a general who had been a guerrilla general in the Longwu Dynasty and was responsible for guarding a pass, he was also unavoidable in the past few months.
There will be some hesitation.
"It's just that the phalanx is dense, but the training does not emphasize individual martial arts. Is this putting the cart before the horse? What I said is correct, right?"
"If you join the army, you will see thousands of miles."
Sure enough, Chen Kai shook his head and smiled. Such doubts had been raised by Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang before, so they were no stranger to him. However, Lu Ruoji was not a boss like Zheng Chenggong, let alone a competitor like Shi Lang.
Different, many things will be different.
"At that time, Qi Shaobao's Yuanyang Formation was unrivaled on the southeastern coast. Although the "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training" describe martial arts, the real emphasis is on coordination. And this square formation is based on a simpler
way to emphasize the importance of collaboration.”
It doesn't matter whether Lu Ruoji can understand it, because Chen Kai is a first-level official in Zhangzhou Prefecture, and these people from Changlin Temple are just local volunteers and have no affiliation with Yujun Town. Even Lu Ruoji is still just the Longwu
The guerrilla generals of the North Korea were also undercover under Zheng Chenggong. Even because of the relationship between the Wan family brothers, Lu Ruoji was not a real leader here.
"Eat first, and talk about anything after dinner."
Despite the usual vigorous and decisive approach, a new atmosphere came to Changlin Temple. After dinner, Chen Kai finished his dinner in a hurry. He just waited for a moment to digest it, or in other words, when everyone else had finished eating, Chen Kai started to talk one by one.
"Reported to join the army, I arrived at Changlin Temple four months and three days ago. Lu Youyi and the Wan family brothers cooperated very well with the selection of personnel and various trainings. However, I was stupid and failed to understand the essence, so that I still can't form an army.
, please join the army for punishment."
Lin Dezhong came with that batch of weapons, and the jungle of spears was already displayed in front of him when he went up the mountain. Originally, Chen Kai planned to send a batch of muskets, but the regular army in Chaozhou was not satisfied yet, let alone
It is said that they are the volunteers of Zhangzhou and formed a militia. With weapons and supporting tactics, he taught Lin Dezhong early, and Lin Dezhong was responsible for the training. The results are currently slow, but no one can blame him. Apart from others, even Chen Kai
I have never seen the real Spanish phalanx, I have only seen movies and texts at most.
After helping Lin Dezhong up, Chen Kai pushed him down on his seat: "It's already pretty good. At least I ask myself how much better I can do. I can see that you have tried your best." After that,
Chen Kai patted Lin Dezhong on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Your parents and in-laws are very good. Dexiao is now able to shoulder the responsibility of the Ordnance Bureau's guard. Your wife is pregnant now and is probably divorced.
Childbirth may not be far away. After this battle, I will go back to South Australia to rest for a few days. It will be a good thing for mother and son to have you by my side."
"It's a humble job. It's a humble job. Thank you for your understanding."
After hearing these words, Lin Dezhong already had tears in his eyes. In response, Chen Kai just shook his head and smiled, and began to ask him about the details of the training, and the former quickly returned to his normal state.
.
After the inquiry was over, Chen Kai had a rough outline of the matter, and then he found Monk Daozong. The last information about the conflict between Yang Zuo and Wang Qifeng was sent by Daozong, but it was not
It was done on purpose, but Daozong did have connections in Zhangpu, and the news reached his ears through various means.
Although this information did not have much practical effect, information is like knowing people. Not everyone can become friends, or even confidants or lovers, but some of them exist in themselves.
A fate.
After a few words of appreciation, Daozong mentioned some news he had recently obtained. Chen Kai listened to it, but none of it was of great value. The only one that was of some significance was that after Wang Qifeng fled, Zhangpu
The defense is even tighter, and even several neighboring counties and even Zhangzhou Prefecture seem to have a feeling of turmoil.
"This is not good news."
Daozong could also understand Chen Kai's mumbling. At this time last year, the Wan brothers failed to complete their attack on Zhangpu. The result was that they were able to scare the snake away, making it difficult to have a suitable opportunity for a long time.
This episode is nothing more than changing the protagonist, and the result is also not optimistic.
"Guo Xing will not stop here. Recently, Master Daozong may need to visit Chaozhou Fucheng more."
"Don't worry about joining the army, I will set off early tomorrow morning."
Chen Kai's eyes showed a cold look, and Dao Zong was also agitated. Early the next morning, Dao Zong set off in a hurry, while Chen Kai started further observation and training of this small unit.
In front of Changlin Temple, this small force of about 200 people formed a square formation like a knife and axe, marching in neat steps. Marching, forming, engaging in battle, pursuing, and simulating battlefield conditions were far from simple.
The array was advanced so skillfully. Chen Kai didn't know exactly where the problem was. He could only practice and observe little by little, hoping to find out the problem and the solution as quickly as possible, so that he could
The actual combat capabilities of the phalanx have been improved.
For a whole day, except for lunch, Chen Kai's eyes never left the soldiers. Until the end of the training, he went back to rest. Halfway through the walk, Chen Kai suddenly remembered a question and asked Lu Ruoji beside him:
"General Lu, is there any necessary route from Zhangpu County to Yunxiao Town?"
Lu Ruoji was from Kinmen, but before contacting the Wan brothers to attack Zhangpu, he also had a certain understanding of this place. At this moment, Chen Kai asked, Lu Ruoji frowned and thought for a while, and then gave an answer: "Pantuoling
!If you want to go from Zhangpu County to Yunxiao Town by land, that is the only way to go."
"Pantuoling." Reciting the place name, Chen Kai nodded, and then said: "This year, maybe we will perform a big show in such a place, maybe."
"May I ask if you join the army and sing, um, what kind of show do you sing?"
