Lord of the House

"Hebei, it's almost extremely cold weather there." In the cold night, Lin Fu got into the tent wrapped in a cloak, sat by the stove, picked up the iron kettle on the stove, and poured himself a bowl of hot water. Drinking the hot air, he said while drinking, "I also need to prepare more cold clothes, especially boots. It is normal for each person to break two pairs of boots along the way."

After the winter in Jiangning, it suddenly became cold, and places like Chongzhou still looked like late autumn. Lin Mengde wrapped a cotton robe and baked a fire, and said, "It's too late to make purchases along the way. The eastern prisoners will be driven out of the border wall. When the Jiangdong Qin Wang Shi arrives, the cities in Hebei will have the possibility to be conquered. At that time, the army will be in chaos, the supplies will be extremely scarce, and the prices will soar. Now we have to choose a place in the north of Shandong. , first send someone to hoard military supplies..."

"Go to Dezhou," Lin Fu looked at the map of the county seat on the wooden platform, and pointed to the connection point between the Yellow River and the Cao Road on the northern line, "Dezhou is a big city, it won't fall so easily, and it is close to rivers, Cao roads, and supplies. Rich, it is necessary to stock up some military resources there..." Looking at Sun Jingxuan, seeing Chen Jingxuan's eyes flashing elsewhere, he did not force him, after all, it is very risky to go to Dezhou to buy military resources with thousands of taels of silver. Lin Xuhong said, "Lin Ji warehouse finds a few shopkeepers and guys who are familiar with the situation in Shandong to send to Uncle Mengde. I will pick ten soldiers to **** them there. The money is heavy and it is inconvenient to carry, so bring more gold to the ground. Then switch it up..."

Zhao Qinmin squinted at the red-burning fire. He had already handed over to Lin Fu, but he had to wait until dawn to return to Jiangning by boat.

To ensure that 3,000 inexperienced new recruits go north to King Qin as scheduled, the requirements for supplies are extremely high. Zhao Qinmin had long thought that Lin Fu wanted to transfer Lin Mengde directly to take charge of this matter, and then borrowed boats and people from Xihehui and the Lin family. Not that it is impossible.

Although the specific marching route will not be announced, Zhao Qinmin can think that Lin Fu and the others will generally follow the road, so as to reduce the pressure of supply.

At this time, Zhao Qingshan, Zhou Pu, Cao Zi'ang, Ning Zechen and others came back from patrolling the camp outside. The tent curtain was lifted, and a gust of wind rushed in, blowing a spark of sparks out of the stove. Lin Bie's hand was burned, he took Wenza to destroy the spark, and told the person next to him: "The three thousand people are all new soldiers, and they have no experience. Especially, pay attention to the fire prevention of the camp, and send a special person to watch, not in this kind of situation. Small things come out of the basket."

Zhao Qingshan took off the cloak, sat next to Lin Fu, and asked, "When will the armor be issued, and before departure?"

"The bow and crossbow will not be issued for the time being," Lin Bing said. "The sword, shield and spear will be issued tomorrow when someone wakes up, and the armor will be issued according to the temporarily assigned military duty. Walking empty-handed is very different from holding a sword, shield, and spear in your hand. Big, how to move, how to control the rhythm and intensity, you guys, you have to discuss it with me at night. You can't send troops in a mess tomorrow, and you can't run out of strength a few days ago. We are going this time. Nearly 2,000 miles, how to train the soldiers during the march, how to let the new recruits run in each other, and what kind of training to go through during the rest period, you have to discuss repeatedly and tirelessly. Today, I just gather the five of you here, and tomorrow, All the pawns below must gather and listen first, and those who can participate in the discussion must be encouraged to participate in the discussion. Then, the flag leaders must actively participate in the discussion..."

"Okay," Zhang Yubo interrupted Lin Bing, "If you don't worry about it, it's almost dawn, you have to leave some time to say goodbye to the beautiful lady..."

Lin Bie smiled, put on his riding boots, took a few guards, and rode to Chaotian Post House.

Liu Yue'er, Xiao Man and the others rushed to the north bank, and they were in the post house at this time. During the day to celebrate the flag, they could only hide in the carriage and couldn't show their faces. After the farewell officials left, Lin Fu was so busy that his buttocks were smoking, and he couldn't even find time to talk to them.

Three thousand new soldiers went on an expedition to King Qin in the north, and things could not be arranged overnight. To be mentally prepared to make up for leaks at any time, Lin Fu also put it aside for a while, and went back to the inn to have a good rest. But he was on horseback, and he was still thinking about military matters.

************

3,000 sets of winter quilts, 3,000 sets of military uniforms, 3,000 pairs of cold-proof boots, 1,000 leather-covered wooden plaques, 1,000 straight-ridge knives, 2,000 spears, 300 bows, 50 crossbows Zhang, 50 crossbows, 200 combined armors, 50 combined armors, 12 scale armors, more than 20,000 arrows of various types, 300 marching tents, 60,000 taels of silver...

These are all military materials and weapons directly allocated to the Fifth Battalion of the Left Army by the Ministry of Industry and Military Affairs of Jiangning.

In addition to the 60,000 taels of silver, other ordnance materials can be said to be obtained by Gu Wuchen personally led by the yamen who blocked the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, Ministry of War and other ministries and institutes. , the total is also worth two or three thousand taels of silver.

Can't say how generous, can't say nothing.

Even if the sword, shield, spear and spear are not particularly sophisticated, they can handle it. The key is that there are too few bows and armors.

Even the Dongcheng Yuma infantry had more than 60% of the armored infantry; the five battalions of the Left Army had 3,000 people, and the actual armor allocated was only 262 pieces, which could only meet the ration of military attachés at the grassroots level, which was really pitiful.

Good armor and strong bows are hard to find, but it is not a problem that can be solved with a lot of silver. Because the materials required for good armor and strong bows are very complex, the output is extremely limited. A pair of standard scale armor consists of more than 1,000 cold-forged steel armor pieces made of overlapping yang and yin double lines. The scale of the armor-making workshop under the jurisdiction of Weiwei Temple in Jiangning is second only to that of Yanjing. There are less than 100 pairs, and they are all monopolized by the middle and senior military attachés.

King Qin went north and arrived at Yanjing. The Donglu had already withdrawn, so naturally everyone was happy. If Yanjing and Hebei were still stuck together, Lin Fu would lead the division to the King of Diligence.

At that time, the imperial court will have a unified deployment for the troops of the King of Diligence in the world. It is not entirely up to Lin Fu to fight or not to fight.

The 3,000 soldiers of the 5th Battalion of the Left Army were all new soldiers, and if their armour was not strengthened, they would not be able to see it.

In addition to the more than 260 pairs of armor directly allocated by the Jiangning Ministry of Education, Gu Wuchen used the power in his hand to put together more than 120 pairs of armor for Lin Fuduo in Jiangning. More than 100 pieces; in addition, Lin Fu also squeezed out more than 100 pieces of armor from Xisha Island.

In addition to the 200 carts of mules and horses for transporting luggage, Zhao Qinmin, Zhang Yubo and the others also purchased 300 horses in Jiangning, and they also allowed Lin Fu to assemble a half-cavalry infantry. Most of the new soldiers were refugees from the north. Not many were skilled in horsemanship, but quite a few were able to ride horses.

With more than 200 pairs of armor and more than 300 horses, Lin Fu will focus on strengthening the first battalion of the Zuo Army, which he personally commands.

The more than 600 soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Left Army were all selected from the Xisha Island after more than a month of military training and a 500-mile journey in three days. Lin Fu asked Ao Canghai to serve as the deputy battalion commander, directly commanding the first battalion on his behalf, and then dispatched more than ten guards who had been with him for a long time to serve as the commander of the sixty-person team. Whether it is the quality of soldiers, the organization and command system, or the armor and equipment, the first battalion of the Left Army has been able to directly accept combat missions.

From Jiangning to the territory of Hebei, apart from Hongzepu Liu An'er's group, there are no other major forces entrenched along the way, but there are many small-capacity bandits, bandits, and water bandits. Lin Fu will generally advance along the Cao Road, but he will not be particularly honest. He will train on his behalf. Along the way, he will always use these small groups of bandits and water bandits to try out the new soldiers. In order to avoid accidents, there must be a barely usable and strengthened army in hand.

****************

Lin Fu rushed to the Chaotian Post House on horseback. Liu Yueer and Xiaoman had already seen through the autumn water in the yard. Hearing Lin Fu walking in with his riding boots, he was very distressed to see the stubble on his chin.

"Your leg injury is just right, you're going to leave, you won't pity yourself at all..." Liu Yueer put the cloak handed over by Lin Bie on the table first, and helped him take off the armor with Xiaoman , Seeing that the scar on his arm has not disappeared, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

Lin Fu stabbed Liu Yue'er's delicate face with the beard scum, and said with a smile, "I can do everything by myself, King Qin of the North, Li Zhuo deliberately forced me to stand up, I want to stand back, don't you think? Let him be careful? After I leave, the two of you will live in the Lin family's new house and take care of the Seventh Madam, so that I can rest assured..."

"The Seventh Madam is also at the hotel station~www.wuxiaspot.com~ said that she will stop by tomorrow to burn incense in the temple on the mountain." Liu Yueer said.

Lin Fu's heart moved, but it was almost dawn now, I don't know if she had fallen asleep, and it was not suitable for him to go to find someone.

"Come over," Liu Yue'er leaned against Lin Bie's chest, looked up at him, and whispered, "I will feel at ease when I see you, Xiaoman and I will go to bed first."

"Do you really think that others don't know," Xiaoman said coquettishly, pushing Liu Yueer's shoulder next to him, "I said a few times that the scent on his body is very different, but you still cover it up for him. Look at his eyes now. It's flashing like what? I'm not afraid to let outsiders know, cut the seventh lady with a knife-like eye..."

No matter how thick-skinned Lin Bie was, he couldn't help blushing. He stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaoman's face, and said with a shy face: "Although it's not appropriate to meet in private, many things in Hekou still have to be presided over by the Seventh Madam secretly, and I want to talk to her. Let me explain...Xiaoman accompany me over there."

"I don't want to be hated!" Xiaoman looked disdainful, not believing Lin Bie's lies, and even more trusting his own intuition.

Lin Fu, Liu Yueer and Xiaoman talked for a while by candlelight, but Liu Yueer took Xiaoman to sleep first, so he left the yard in embarrassment without hitting the lantern. In the pavilion, he walked to the small courtyard where Gu Yingxiu lived and knocked on the door.

In the Xiangnuan Yashe, Gu Yingxiu couldn't wait for the maid to bring tea to cover the door and leave, and then threw herself into Lin Fu's arms and said, "I want to give up a wish and give myself to you. You go north to King Qin, I will also Can you worry less... You are so tired these days, you lie down, I will serve you, I have asked someone to ask about this, and I know how to serve a man! "
