Chapter 233: Spring Offensive

The two Hans and Mongolian mixed -races of Poklane and Akilan lived comfortably after becoming Huang Yi's servant.

They have selected more than 300 women who ride riding to participate in the training.

A few days ago, more than a dozen women couldn't stand the suffering of practicing riding and shrank.

The military law of the base is relatively harsh on men, and emphasizing that the revolution is not invited to dinner and wants to come and leave.

The militia dare to be punished for negative military training, supplemented by soldiers.

But it is relatively loose to female militia, and basically take the principle of conscious and voluntary.

Not only do you not be able to take back and shrink, but also take the initiative to persuade too stupid, how can you learn how to learn.

The final result was half eliminated, and the remaining 160 were older in the age of 16 to 25. They looked strong.

The 160 female cavalry Mercedes -Benz is also out of date. It is not bad to look at it. It should have some combat effectiveness.

But who knows! It is not sure without actual combat inspection.

Both Akidor and Paulelle hoped to go with Huang Yi, but unfortunately Huang Yi resolutely disagreed, no matter how they begged, they would not be loose.

The task handed over to them is to patrol the territory every day to identify the whistle to explore the arrest.

The bases include Wang Baishan, Zhang's, Qi Dashan, Lan Jinkui, etc. Civils are not a matter, only the military is almost hard.

Therefore, Huang Yi also left Huang Dazhi and Huang Daquan in charge of defense, guiding the auxiliary soldiers and militia to participate in training.

They must have hoped to follow Huang Yi to fight, and they were unwilling to stay, but they all knew that soldiers had to obey the command and listened to the command, and they dare not objection.

Huang Yi told them that at the end of the year, all the auxiliary soldiers had to be turned into the right soldiers.

The two immediately understood, and they stirred up and stated loudly. During the days when the large troops led, they must train the auxiliary soldiers with the request of the soldiers and train the militia with the request of the auxiliary soldiers.

Could it be that the requirements are too strict?

It should not, the base is the military management, the military first.

Moreover, the slogan of the current base is the most glorious of the soldiers. As long as it is a soldier, you can get one or two five dollars of silver every month on time.

The treatment of cavalry soldiers is higher than the horse riding infantry.

The treatment of artillery is the same as the cavalry.

Become a soldier warrior, not only the whole family can get respect, the good work in the base is preferred to choose.

The promotion of civil officers is also as possible to choose the children as possible.

However, the soldiers soldiers were selected from the auxiliary soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers were selected from the militia.

Therefore, even if the militia participating in training can only receive the food subsidies that can only receive the three buckets of miscellaneous grains for a month, the young adults with no skills in the base are still actively registered.

The reason is very simple. The one with a skill is the craftsman.

Moreover, the same preferential treatment craftsman, the name of the working class, is a class group that can lead all.

Whether the army can win depends on how many clothes, steel, gunpowder, how many muskets, artillery can be created by the working class.

Women in the base are not only weaving sweaters, but also woven wool felt, wool fabrics.

This fall, the outer layer of wool cloth inner cotton cloth material, lining duck down or cotton coat can be equipped with all the main soldiers, supplemented by soldiers.

There is no cotton grown in the base area, and the land is not suitable for growing cotton. The Li family business sells it from within the pass.

Today's base city, oh no, the base city has a name - Xinghe City.

There was no need for Huang Yi to argue with Governor Xuanda, his future father-in-law, over something as innocuous as naming.

Not only did he approve the naming of Geng Ruqi, but he also sent Wang Baishan to Xuanfu on official business, presented a gold monocular telescope that he personally participated in making to express his gratitude, and asked Governor Xuanda to write the three characters "Xinghe City".

Geng Ruqi was very happy to learn that Huang Yi was going to carve his words on the four gates of Xinghe City, so he actually took a bath and changed clothes before doing so.

In total, only ten eight-power monocular telescopes were made, and only one was made of pure gold, which was a gift to Governor Xuanda.

The other two were made of silver and were given to Geng Zhanghua and Geng Zhangguang respectively.

The seven reserved for military use were all made of brass, and one was given to Hu Xiaochuan, who was the first to follow Huang Yi.

One was given to Bi Daxi, who often participated in setting ambushes to capture enemy sentries.

One was given to Li Wanquan, the chief instructor of the artillery and the commander-in-chief of the town. The remaining four were not distributed and were kept by Bao Zhide, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army Guard.

These four monocular telescopes can only be obtained through registration.

There is no way, the telescopes are too important and the quantity is too small, so they can only be given priority to officers performing tasks.

Huang Yi did not bring three fixed telescopes with him when he went on the expedition. These telescopes were placed in the fortress to observe familiar locations more efficiently.

The four gate towers in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Xinghe City have been completed.

Under normal circumstances, two fixed telescopes are installed on the watchtower on the highest floor of the city gate building to observe the northwest, due north, and northeast.

There is also one located at Beishankou, thirty miles away from Xinghe City. A watchtower-style beacon tower has been built here, and a hundred auxiliary troops are stationed in rotation all year round.

Being able to send auxiliary soldiers to garrison the Beishan Beacon Tower means that they can be converted into regular soldiers in as little as three months and as long as six months.

Therefore, the auxiliary soldiers were all eager to get this mission and enthusiastically signed up for selection.

Huang Yi's soldiers, even the auxiliary soldiers, were all cavalry or mounted infantry. Their garrison was not about hiding in watchtowers and watching the stars every day.

They are constantly patrolled by units of two small flags and twenty cavalry.

With fixed telescopes, it was possible to establish dozens of observation points marked by quicklime that had been explored by the cavalry.

The telescope is a sacred tool in everyone's mind. The governor is responsible for using the telescope for observation, as well as for its safekeeping and maintenance.

When a critical moment comes, it is also up to the governor to decide whether to smash the telescope to prevent it from being captured by the enemy.

With the reference object in hand, the governor only needs to use a telescope to observe the eye-catching marks several times a day to determine whether he is being attacked by cavalry.

It's very simple. How can a circle drawn with quicklime on the ground withstand the trampling of dozens or hundreds of war horses? The disappearance of the circle is enough to prove that an enemy horse has passed through.

This is because our own cavalry are careful to go around the circle. If they cannot get around, they will repair the circle after trampling on them.

Anyway, practice has proven that a mounted fixed telescope can not only observe whether a large group of cavalry appears within seventy or eighty miles outside the mountain, but can also communicate with Xinghe City using semaphores.

As long as it's not foggy, snowy or rainy, we can communicate with you at Beishankou and Chengmen Tower, day or night.
