The military exercise on the grassland has come to an end.
It took six months from the time of sending troops to Liaoxi.
It was a hot summer day when we left, and it was covered with snow when we returned.
Of course, the Liaodong Army took the Wuhuan route on their way back.
Thanks to the work of Wuhuan's massive workers, roads extending in all directions connect the surrounding areas of Wuhuan.
As for who won the battle in the end?
Zhang Qi from the Captain's Mansion looked at the last letter sent back here with a smile.
The Liaodong Army won.
At the tragic cost of surviving 1,200 men, the formation killed the current general of the Huben Army, Liu Ze.
Of course, this is also a result achieved when the strengths of both sides are equal.
Moreover, this was a drill, and the soldiers were not too afraid of death. Except for the surprise attack they encountered on the first day, which caused a large number of defeats, they fought hard to the end in the subsequent battles.
"Look, I guessed wrong. Wang Li really won."
Zhang Qi handed the letter to Bai Xing, who took it: "Hu Ben only has two thousand people, and the rest are militiamen. This is unfair to General Liu."
"Ha ha."
Zhang Qi laughed.
In fact, Wuhuan's militiamen train three days a month and only train one day every nine days. Naturally, they cannot compare with the completely off-duty soldiers of the Liaodong Army.
And judging from Wang Li's tactics, he used Duizi tactics to crazily weaken the number of Huben troops from the beginning, and then concentrated all his efforts and launched a decisive battle.
After the decisive battle, the Liaodong Army won a narrow victory. Subsequently, several more legion battles were held until the snow fell on the grassland, and the military exercise ended completely.
After all, all living beings are equal under the heavy snow, so Wang Li and Liu Ze chose to return to the city after a while.
After these few months of exercises, both the Liaodong Army and the Huben Army have achieved something.
Huben had more experience with the Han army's military formations.
The Liaodong Army also tested some visible combat capabilities through this exercise.
Compared with Zhang Qi's three absolute elites, this army is indeed a bit mediocre, but among the Han armies, the performance of the Liaodong Army can already be regarded as elite.
at least.
They have a 'military spirit'.
The love of the general, the kindness of the general, these are the foundations that build the soul of the Liaodong Army.
After Zhang Qi reveals his identity in the future, he can also instill some thoughts of loyalty to the emperor.
By then, the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army will be improved.
It's enough to be able to figure this out. After all, it's just a military exercise.
Zhang Qi smiled slightly and stood up: "The effect of this exercise is not bad. By the way, Bai Xing, how much baggage did we get from the Han army?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the food and grass alone exceeds 200,000 stones (60 kilograms). Other weapons include 40,000 ring-headed knives, 20,000 spears, 30,000 strong bows, and 10,000 powerful crossbows. , one million bows and 700,000 crossbows. As we report, food, grass and weapons are still being delivered."
As he spoke, Bai Xing couldn't help but want to laugh.
The Han Dynasty was really rich. Every time he sent a relief letter, he always wondered whether it was too much, but every time the Bohai side would send it on time.
Rich and wealthy.
Bai Xing suppressed his laughter, but Zhang Qike had no worries and burst into laughter again.
"Hahaha, it's a pity that the horses let me figure it out on my own. Otherwise, I really wanted to consume all the Han Dynasty's war horses in advance. They only have so many horses in total, but they will be gone after a few more uses. It's such a pity."
Zhang Qi felt a little regretful.
Bai Xing asked aloud: "Then Your Majesty, should we continue to ask for reinforcements?"
"Keep going, why stop? As long as they pay back, don't stop. We can't fight in the winter, but my people still have to eat. Keep asking for it, and wait until we eat public food for a few months."
"promise!"
Bai Xing suppressed a smile and held back his hand.
Zhang Qi stretched his muscles and returned to the chair to continue reading.
The sub-base ports on Ryukyu Island have been completed, and there are two of them.
In order to avoid extreme weather, Liu Perun built docks at the same time on Tsushima Island and Shimane, which is not yet called Shimane County.
Shimane is naturally the location of Iwami Ginzan. The wharf was built there to mine silver mines. As for the wharf on Tsushima Island, it was built for convenient supply and appeal reasons.
Currently, manpower has been deployed in Tsushima and Shimane, with 800 people in each place, the number of one school.
There is everything that should be available in the port, including food, grass, weapons, ballistas, and medical supplies, which are rotated every three months.
Eight hundred people are really more than enough to suppress these two places. If it weren't for Zhang Qichui, in this era, Huaxia is just a boss-level monster, and the combat power of the surrounding small countries is really inconspicuous.
Also accompanying the navy was a team of thirty prospecting craftsmen. Zhang Qi only knew that Iwami Ginzan was in Shimane, but he really didn't know the specific location and could only wait for news from the prospecting craftsmen.
Now that he has started taking action on Ryukyu Island, Zhang Qi will naturally not forget his overseas granary, the Hokkaido fishery.
The fishing team has already begun to be formed in Wuhuan. After spring, when a new batch of hundreds of sailboats are launched, they will go there to conduct trial fishing.
Test the distribution of fish schools, the return journey, and the number of catches each time to facilitate the improvement of the ship's fishing net.
In fact, the current Hokkaido fisheries are of little use in Zhang Qi's eyes. His current population has not exceeded two million. The catches in several northeastern river basins alone are enough to meet his needs. However, since the Navy has begun to control Ishimi When Yinshan takes action, it should be used to train sea fishing personnel and naval escort capabilities in advance.
After all, several rivers in the Northeast also have fishing moratoriums. Zhang Qi understands the principle of not exhausting the lake for fishing.
It’s snowing in autumn and winter again, and Zhang Qi has been in this world for four years. All the habits of modern people have disappeared with the passage of time. Except for the occasional modern vocabulary that people can’t understand, Zhang Qi They are no different from the ancients in this world.
"What time is it?"
Zhang Qi, who was reading in a chair, stretched himself out and asked.
Bai Xing stood up and looked at the water clock and replied: "Your Majesty, it's the end of the Xu period."
"Uh-huh - it's so late. I'm going to rest. You should also rest after you finish writing the battle report to the Han Dynasty."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
Bai Xing nodded and continued writing at his desk.
There still needs to be a battle report, otherwise how would Liu Che know the situation here.
In fact, Zhang Qi took advantage. He sent troops so fast that the Han Dynasty did not have time to send out supervisory troops.
But even if the supervisor army really comes, Zhang Qi still has a way to make the supervisor army his own. After all, he already has a spy who he developed into a counter-insurgent, right?
Moreover, it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows on the battlefield. If this supervisor is a pedantic and loyal person, then Zhang Qi would not mind if the Han Dynasty sends more supervisors.
After all, the level of trust between the two parties is already as high as the goddess's half-undressed panties, which is no different from whether she is wearing them or not.
