Ding Haijun's baggage queue stretched for a long time. The first group of civilians had already entered Liangxiang, and the queue behind them still stretched for more than ten miles.
Moreover, because Liangxiang City was repeatedly destroyed and ruins were everywhere in the city, the team of civil servants who entered the city early were busy for a while and could not free up enough space to accommodate the entire team.
A baggage team approaching Liangxiang had to stay outside the city for about two moments.
Until a knight holding a silver medal high to prove his identity came to the front of the team from a distance, then turned his horse's head and led the way in the other direction.
Dozens of large vehicles followed closely behind, turning off the main road and heading east along a fork in the deserted grassland. To the east, close to the direction of Lishigang, there was a small abandoned village. The village was overgrown with weeds and the ground was bumpy.
It's unfair, not a single person is seen.
A group of civilians who arrived early demolished two brick houses and used scattered bricks and wood to create an open space for camping on the flat land outside the village.
"Commander Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Jue's cavalry was also stationed here, and the light cavalryman holding a silver medal led him to the designated area again.
"Okay." Zhao Jue nodded.
Everyone stopped or dismounted, and some people began to lay wooden stakes and connect ropes outside the camp. Some people dragged the cart into the inside of the camp and connected it with thick ropes or iron chains. These things were done when the baggage team was marching in the past.
What we have to do every day is similar to the preparations for the army to march and camp, and everyone does it very neatly.
Guo Ning was also in the queue carrying the goods, and from him on down, no one could stand idle.
After the carts form a car formation, tents or the like are not necessary. As long as you lay a felt cloth under the carriage, you can sleep directly. Even if it rains, the car body can block the rain unless it rains heavily.
At that time, all kinds of campsites needed to be renovated, not just the car camps.
Guo Ning and a guard carried large rolls of felt cloth and distributed them as they walked along the carts.
When they set out, each cart was equipped with two rolls of felt cloth, but along the way, the wear and tear was very serious. The felt cloth could not only be used as a bedding and blanket; it could also be used to cover the car to prevent the wheels from becoming embedded
The rut marks on the road can also be folded with felt cloth as a bedding. Some even called "people's servants", who are actually soldiers of the Ding Navy, cut a strip of felt cloth edge, tied it to the top of their spears, and dipped it in
Lime powder, as a hit mark.
As a result, every once in a while, the felt cloth of a few carts is damaged and cannot be used. But when felt cloth is used on a serious battlefield, it is tied to wooden stakes outside the military formation to prevent outsiders from prying at them, and even blocks the accuracy of arrows.
Important supplies for shooting must be replenished in time. However, the surplus carried by the team is not enough to provide additional supplies to each team of soldiers.
In addition to felt cloth, there are also many oversights in materials and even task arrangements. Most of the Dinghai navy generals are of low origin. As grassroots soldiers or junior officers of the Jin army, they have enough experience and are stronger than those Jurchen generals.
A lot. However, the restrictions on their status and authority also make it inevitable for them to be negligent in commanding the military operations.
These oversights have been quickly made up with the role of the military academy. But after all, the Navy has no record of using tens of thousands of people to march long distances. The scattered experience of many large-scale military operations will not be felt unless it is actually carried out once.
.
However, the previous military operations were either in Shandong or relied on fleets, and the army was in a rush to attack. All the soldiers were thinking of making ends meet in these details, even in defense and fortifications.
Don't even care.
At this time, the team entered Zhongdu Road and would collide with the main force of the Mongolian army at any time, so these things were handled rigorously.
In just these few days, Guo Ning discovered many deficiencies in military regulations, and also supervised the slackness of many generals. In an army, if everyone feels that they are serious enough, they will not pay attention to omissions and shortcomings.
Turning a blind eye is the beginning of the decline of this army.
While Guo Ning was leading people to replenish felt cloth, messengers were riding around the entire area that stretched for several miles. They wanted to find out the surrounding camping sites before the rear team arrived, and then notify the various ministries as soon as possible.
Not long after, Zhao Jue, the leader of the Guards, arranged the manpower for the night guard tonight, the command for the change of guard posts, and the order for the rendezvous with the supporting troops and horses in Zhongdu tomorrow morning, etc.
A team of tens of thousands of people, as well as matching horses, vehicles, military supplies and grain that should be sent to the capital, from the management of the march to logistical supplies to the ad hoc command of various affairs, the officer in charge of each team
There is a lot of things to deal with, and everyone is very busy.
Fortunately, Guo Ning had a large number of military officers to assist him.
These officers were promoted by Guo Ning one after another in the past two years. Many of them studied with Guo Ning in the military academy, from reading and writing to geography and history, and then to the methods of doing things in the army.
A way of thinking for dealing with complex surfaces.
As more and more officers are able to shoulder heavy responsibilities, every day they spend in the army is also a training process for ordinary soldiers. When soldiers receive the words and deeds of officers, they have the possibility of further improvement.
For example, Dong Jin is bringing a few generals to talk with him right now.
He had not been in the army for long, and he was very young, so he especially liked to put on a majestic posture in front of the soldiers. Guo Ning listened for a moment and heard him saying to the generals: "You have to show it to them, instead of repeating it over and over again."
Talk! What’s the use of talking? Look at it once and you’ll understand everything! Do it now, I’ll watch it later!”
Several generals nodded repeatedly, bowed and left.
Dong Jin put his hands on his hips and looked at their backs, looking arrogant.
These trivial matters in the process of army building have actually been the norm since ancient times. Guo Ning has some free time these days, and he also reads a little. He remembers that the "Six Tao" said that anyone who teaches the method of war must clearly inform the officials and give repeated orders.
, teach them how to conduct troops in daily life, advance and stop, point flags at the subordinates, do not violate the rules of advance and stop, do not lose the appropriate food and drink, and have the strength of men and horses. It is a pity that many secrets and strategies of military use are not known in the Jin Kingdom.
It is in Han'er's hands, and now it has to be reorganized and enriched bit by bit.
Guo Ning once discussed with his companions whether these things could survive in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. It is said that the Song people had a strange book called "Wu Jing Zong Yao", which specifically talked about various military systems. In the future, if Zhang Kai and others have the opportunity, they will
You could try smuggling a copy to Shandong.
After the felt cloths were distributed, Guo Ning smelled the aroma of the food.
In order to get to Liangxiang County as soon as possible, neither the Meng'an Mouke Army nor the Ding Haijun team in Hebei had a meal at noon today. Now that they had successfully settled down, the soldiers began to get busy.
There was a soldier who moved quickly. He was already eating pancakes with one hand and holding his own wooden plate in his hand. He walked cautiously towards his team. When he walked not far from Guo Ning, the soup on his plate followed.
His steps kept swaying, and he was about to splash out several times. He simply stopped and drank the soup on the plate first.
A lot of salt was put into the soup, and the meat and bones were cooked together. The surface of the soup was covered with oil. The soldier drank the soup with a smile on his face and made a smacking sound.
Tomorrow, oh no, today, I have to go to the hospital. It has been almost 20 days since I became cloudy, and I still have fever from time to time, and my blood oxygen has always been below 95, which is a bit strange.
