Chapter 64 Whole Army

In fact, there is one thing that Lu Qiang has not been thorough with his brother, that is, he knows that after his brother returns to Jiankang, he will definitely be pushed to the throne by Liu Yu and others.

Because this is a court in which powerful ministers are in power, and if powerful ministers want to gain power, they must have a self-selected spokesperson. Now the brother returns to Jiankang and holds the jade seal he got from Huan Xuan in his hand, so he is undoubtedly the best candidate for emperor.

But Lu Qiang also believes that his brother should be able to think of this, but it's hard to ask clearly. After all, the throne is his own, and the two also agreed that he just supported himself first.

After getting along with each other in the past few days, Lu Qiang knew that the brother was a person who spoiled Buddhism. He was peaceful and loyal, and had no ambition. Although that position is very attractive, I believe he knows better that without himself, he will still be someone else's puppet.

Once he has the strength to return to Jiankang, he just can't give up his position.

I can't help looking up to the sky and taking a breath, strength, strength! When will I have such strength?

Lu Qiang knows very well that no matter what kind of revenge he has, he must have strong military support.

There were originally 10,000 horses in Jiangling, but he did not leave all these horses behind, but left the strong and weak in the process of distributing land and let the old and weak go home to farm. In this way, there are only a little more than 6,000 left for 10,000 horses.

In addition to the three thousand he brought, the number of people in Jiangling will now be enough, but this 10,000 horses can be called elite. Qing Yishui is strong, and through continuous brainwashing, he has become more and more loyal to Lu Qiang.

Originally, Lu Qiang was only available by Zhou Kui, but now it is different. With the addition of Tan Daoji and Zhao Lunwen, it undoubtedly added some confidence to him.

In the next few days, Lu Qiang divided this 10,000 horses into three parts, the former army Zhou Kui 3,000, the left army Tan Daoji, the right army Zhao Lunwen 2,000 each, and the remaining 3,000 as the Chinese army, under his own command.

Although 10,000 horses are not enough to do anything, for now, there should be no problem guarding Jiangling.

Jiangling, as the government office of Jingzhou, used to be Huan Xuan's nest and accumulated a large amount of money and grain materials. Originally, it could be used to recruit troops, but spring ploughing has begun. At this time, conscription may not be effective. If it is a strong expedition, it is bound to make him lose the hearts of the people of Jingzhou, thus making him unable to gain a foothold in Jingzhou.

Lu Qiang has a hunch that the Huan family will not lose so easily. Maybe they will gather people secretly in an attempt to retake Jiangling, but the scout horses have spread a lot, but so far, no useful clues have been sent back.

So all he can do now is to grasp the tens of thousands of people and strengthen training to deal with possible wars at any time.

What makes Lu Qiang regret is that the navy is not strong. Jiangling originally had a navy, but with Huan Xuan's defeat, many navy generals took warships and soldiers to other states and counties.

Although Lu Qiang now has more than a dozen warships abducted from Liu Yu, these warships are not enough to do anything, and he does not have a navy general.

The water army is not strong, which is undoubtedly a major weakness of the strong road in the Jiangnan region with many rivers and lakes.

However, this kind of thing is urgent. He can only hurry up to recruit sailors while looking for navy generals who are willing to serve him.

As predicted, although Jiangling is the seat of Jingzhou, since it was occupied by Lu Qiang, the counties in Jingzhou have cut off their ties with Jiangling, not to mention the decree issued by Lu Qiang.

Lu Qiang can't do anything about this situation. After all, he doesn't have the strength to fight against them now. Fortunately, Jiangling's own savings of grain and fodder were enough for him to cope with for a while, otherwise he could not support these tens of thousands of horses.

A few days later, Luo Song, who recovered from his injury, escorted Chunlan and Dongmei. What Lu Qiang didn't expect most was that Liu Sinu came with his mountain leopard.

Surprised and asked the reason, it turned out that Liu Sinu's encounter was similar to Lu Qiang. At that time, he only knew how to fight with Lu Qiang. After arriving at the river, when he saw that Lu Qiang had lost his trace, he simply closed his eyes and jumped into the rolling river. In his imagination, it is better than dying at the hands of the enemy.

Liu's daughter was also rescued by fishermen. After recovering from her injury, she returned to the camp. Just as Lu Qiang sent to find Luo Song, she followed her together.

Just as they were preparing to leave by boat, Lu Qiang's pet mountain leopard ran out of nowhere. It seemed that he was also looking for its owner, so he was brought here by Luo Song and others.

I haven't seen him for many days, and the mountain leopard has grown much taller. When he first saw Lu Qiang, he jumped on Lu Qiang and almost knocked him down.

The intimation of one person and one leopard made Chunlan and the two maids a little jealous.

The arrival of these people undoubtedly gave Lu Qiang a lot of comfort. First of all, there is no need to think about the two girls.

In addition, Luo Song came from a scout. With him around him to pick up the heavy responsibility of detecting the surrounding movements, it can also reassure Lu Qiang.

As for Liu's daughter, Lu Qiang didn't expect to arrange any position for him for the time being. The boy was a little feminine and not suitable for leading soldiers, so he still asked him to follow him and take care of the mountain leopard.

And the war flag embroidered with a black panther finally floated at the head of Jiangling City. At first, the soldiers and civilians in Jiangling did not know the meaning of this flag, because there were many flying dragon flags, flying tiger flags and flying leopard flags in the army, but after a closer look, they found that this flag was different from the ordinary flying leopard flag. The black panther on this flag Larger and more vivid embroidery.

The light wind blew the flag, and the panther on the flag seemed to fly out of the flag to choose food, which was very deterrent.

In this way, there are Tao Yuanming, Wang Zhen evil, and Zhou Kui, Tan Daoji, Zhao Lunwen and Luo Song. Lu Qiang's small team has also been formed.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, screaming tirelessly, as if people's hearts are about to catch fire.

In such weather, there is still a noise on the campus of the barracks, and the soldiers are training hard under the leadership of their respective officers under the scorching sun.

Of course, no one wants to come out in this kind of weather, but Lord Assassin has come out. Who dares to hide and enjoy the cool?

The soldiers were wearing thin military uniforms, but Lu Qiang stood on the high platform with armor and armor, supervising the training of the soldiers. The sweat soaked his clothes, but he didn't seem to feel it.

In the shade of the trees, the firemen were ready for the summer bean water. Only when it came to rest could the soldiers have a good drink.

Lu Qiang has never been a soldier in his previous life, but as he said, he hasn't eaten pork. Haven't you seen pigs run?

He knows that no matter what kind of army, there must be strict military discipline, and if soldiers want to abide by military discipline, officers must first lead by example.

Daily training, Lu Qiang will be the first to go to the school. Unless there is a big deal, he will train with soldiers for the rest of the time.

In ancient times, the army had its own set of training methods. After reading it again, Lu Qiang told Zhou Kui, Tan Daoji, Zhao Lunwen and others about the military knowledge he knew in later generations.

These generals are all from the grassroots level. They may not be able to talk about theory, but they all have rich practical experience. After summarizing Lu Qiang's theory, although they feel that some parts are not practical, there are also many innovations.

For example, Lu Qiang changed the original single training of soldiers and organized confrontation training with the battalion as a unit. The winning party will also receive rewards and so on.

This novel training method has undoubtedly brought great interest and enthusiasm to soldiers and officers, but the training time is still short, and nothing can be seen now.

The Jingzhou Army, like many Jiangnan armies, lacks horses and cannot form an organized cavalry team, but this does not mean that it cannot form a strong army.

Lu Qiang selected a thousand strong men out of 10,000 people to practice javelin. Although bows and arrows are the king of long-range attacks in this era, they are obviously not as strong as javelins, and as long as they are trained, the throwing distance of javells may not be closer than bows and arrows. If there is the help of war horses, the effect will be unusually good.

Although cavalry has prevailed in this era, there is a shortage of horses in the south of the Yangtze River, so many armies are still dominated by chariots.

The chariot may be very useful when it hits, but its flexibility is not good, so Lu Qiang simply abandons the chariot, so that he can barely free up more than 500 horses.

500 cavalry may be useless when fighting in large groups, but in Jiangnan, which is dominated by infantry, it can definitely have a surprising effect.

At the same time, Lu Qiang thought of the heavy armored infantry often mentioned in the novel. Unfortunately, he only has Jiangling now. No matter human, material or financial resources, he is allowed to make such expensive equipment.

So Lu Qiang wants to have an invincible army, and we have to wait.

Looking up at the sun, Lu Qiang hit the army to rest.

In the sound of the horn, the soldiers gradually gathered. Although they received the military order to rest, there was no confusion at all. They walked to the shade and shade in order before dispersing the team.

Soldiers are willing to strictly abide by military orders, not only Lu Qiang's example, clear rewards and punishments, but also greatly improved the treatment of soldiers.

The money has doubled, and there is no labor in the military family. The government has someone to help farming. If anyone has a big or small situation, the government will also take care of it.

With a complete set of policies to benefit the army, Lu Qiang stabilized the army in a short time. If it hadn't been for the farming period, the people near Jiangling would have actively signed up to join the army.

After the high platform is the Chinese army tent, but because it is in the city, the Chinese army tent is actually a wooden house that can be used to rest and hold military meetings.

When the soldiers saw Lu Qiang coming in, they helped him take off their armor, and they had already prepared small bean soup.

There was no one in the big account at this time. The Master and Liu Sinu had already come to the account and were studying the task assigned to them by Lu Qiang.

Make a model of mountains and rivers.

It turned out that after Luo Song arrived, Lu Qiang had been studying with him about making sand table. Now Luo Song is personally surveying the terrain, but he has sent back some materials one after another.

The task given to Liu Sinu and Master by Lu Qiang is to improve the sand table as soon as possible based on these materials.

Because there is no precedent, the two can be embarrassed, but in a few days, there has been no progress. With the help of Lu Qiang, at least the terrain around Jiangling has been depicted.

After following Lu Qiang, Tan Daoji and Zhao Lunwen also came in. Today, Zhou Kui took turns to guard the city.

They also knew what Lu Qiang did. At first, they didn't pay much attention to it. It was not until they saw the more and more perfect model that they marveled that this thing was simply prepared for the battlefield.

Especially after knowing that this thing was invented by Lord Assassin, the eyes of Lu Qiang were full of worship.

Although Lu Qiang doesn't want to steal the glory of his descendants, this kind of thing is not something that he can explain, so he can only bear it shamelessly.

Several people didn't have time to rest. They gathered around the sand table together and looked at it while helping to come up with ideas.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hoofs galloped from far and near.

It is not during the training period. It is against military rules to stand horses in the camp, except for one kind of people, that is, scouts.

There was not much time, so I heard soldiers shouting outside: "Your Excellency, General Luo's urgent report"

Luo Song has been appointed as a scout lieutenant by Lu Qiang. Although he is in charge of the scout, he can already be called a general.

Hearing the urgent news from Luo Song, Lu Qiang couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart.
