Wang Xian spent the next eight days in the military camp. Eight days later, it was time for him to go home. It was the 20th day of the winter moon. Suddenly, an order was sent to Zhu Zhanji to attend court the next day. Zhu Zhanji did not attend court because he wanted to study in the morning. This time, the emperor issued a special order to ask him to attend court, so there were major events to be announced, and he must be in it.

After receiving the order, Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji both guessed that it should be the Northern Expedition. Sure enough, when they came back from the court, Zhu Zhanji shouted excitedly at him: "Yes, I'm going to Northern Expedition to summon all the generals as soon as possible. I want to read the imperial edict.

The drums were rumbling and ringing. After thirty breaths, the generals gathered together, standing upright, with their heads raised, silent, and a stern... Just looking at the officer's appearance, you can feel the combat effectiveness of this army. Thinking about Wang Xian's appearance when he first arrived, it was completely different. These were all tempered day after day, and there was no room for opportunism.

Accompanied by Wang Xian, Zhu Zhanji strode to the front of the hall. The generals took off their helmets, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: "Greetings to Your Highness, meet the military advisor."

"There is a will." Zhu Zhanji stood in front of the generals and said in a deep voice.

"I'll listen to the Hadith" more than a hundred voices are like one person.

"The emperor said: The remaining captains of Ola killed their masters, and also detained the court envoys, invaded the border, violated the heavens and abused people. The righteousness of the people, Farr and others prepared their horses and soldiers, made great efforts to make great achievements and achieve great success." Zhu Zhanji read out the handwritten instructions of Emperor Yongle loudly.

"Long live my emperor, I will receive the order," the generals responded loudly. Because they were prepared, no one felt suddenly, and their blood was boiling with excitement.

"Everyone," Zhu Zhanji put away the imperial edict and said in a deep voice: "A good man should gallop on the battlefield and make achievements, at this moment."

"To make achievements, it is at this moment." The generals repeated the words of His Royal Highness the Grand His Majesty, and their desire to make achievements awakens in everyone's blood.

Wang Xian looked at the war dealers who were all over the room and asked about the war, and couldn't help but sigh that the Ming Dynasty passed by the two emperors of Hongwu and Yongle, now in their youth, was full of youth. The officers and soldiers were full of passion for making achievements, and did not take the Mongolian Tartars seriously at all, nor did they take the blood and sacrifice seriously. The confidence of the empire is reflected in the confidence of the soldiers, and this is true.

In the central army tent, he was also infected by the fanatic atmosphere, and had the urge to be a good man in a horse and wrapped his body, but he calmed down as soon as he returned to the room... Damn, this is going to the battlefield. Although it should be safe to follow the grandson, the battlefield changes rapidly, who can say it correctly? Isn't it just a matter of making a living? Is it necessary to fight so hard?

But there is no regret medicine in the world. Unless he wants to be a deserter and nail his whole life to the pillar of shame, he can only walk on the ground. Adjusting his mood, Wang Xian issued an order to cancel all vacations before the New Year and the entire army entered a second-level combat readiness state.

In the young military rules designated by Wang Xian, the second-level combat readiness is second only to the state before the troops went to war. At this time, the army had five main tasks: one, conduct in-depth combat readiness mobilization, and the entire army strictly guarded its posts; two, collect intelligence and strictly grasp the enemy's movements; three, speed up the implementation of various support such as logistics and equipment; four, speed up the training of the battle; five, formulate combat plans and conduct exercises in advance.

In addition to the five items, there is another one that is not written on paper, which is to establish an independent communication system.

When formulating the regulations, no one had any objections to the five items on paper; but even the one outside the article, even wise Mo Wen, said privately that the cost of establishing and maintaining a communication system was too high. Since the court had a complete post-post, why bother to squeeze out the already tight military expenditure?

But Zhu Zhanji agreed with this one very much. He even thought that the first four articles were normal staff level, and only the fifth article could best reflect Wang Xian’s extraordinaryness and not be ruthless of his politeness to him.

However, the reason was inconvenient to everyone's generals. He just said lightly that he would pay the money at that time and he would not have to pay the military expenses, so he decided on this item.

There were certain rules long ago that he would not panic in the war. At a later meeting, Wang Xian assigned specific tasks. His Royal Highness the Grand His Majesty himself arrested the combat readiness mobilization; when collecting intelligence and combat plans were formulated, Wang Xian handed over to Mo Wen and others to Wu Juren; when the training was led by the Xue brothers; when the logistics and military supplies were supported, he handed over to Wu Wei. As for the communication system, he was personally responsible for establishing it at the instruction of Zhu Zhanji.

If the order is issued, it is enough to do its own job, but the result is that Wang Xiancheng is the most tiring, because he needs to check and summarize everything. Others only need to concentrate on one aspect, but he has to ask about everything. From morning to night, he is so busy that he doesn't even have to eat, and he sleeps for less than two hours a day.

At this time, the benefits of his young and strong strength and persistence in practicing martial arts were revealed. Although he worked hard every day, Wang Xian could still maintain his energy and use the precision of a certified public accountant to check all aspects of the lack of shortcomings, so that he could not make any mistakes in preparing for the war.

Wang Xian's performance also fell into the eyes of Yi Yu's subordinates in the Eastern Palace, because he was worried about Zhu Zhanji and his friends. His Highness the Crown Prince sent Yang Pu and Jin Wen to assist the grandson in the camp. It should be said that Zhu Di's vision was very sharp. At least the subordinates found for the crown prince were all people with noble character and both virtue and talent. After observing for several days, Yang Pu and Jin Wen came to the same conclusion-under Wang Xian's dispatch, the young army was in good operation, and their intervention in the middle would only cause trouble.

The two of them looked at Wang Xian with admiration during military exercises. Now they have seen his work ability with their own eyes and admire him very much. There is a Taoist who respects me and I respect others one by one. Wang Xian is naturally very respectful to them and humbly ask them for advice when encountering things. The two of them are here to help, and it would be embarrassing if they can't get involved. Naturally, they are very hard-working to help him out and get along very well.

From the busy morning until after noon that the three of them had time to have lunch on the stove. Seeing Jin Wen's poor appetite, holding chopsticks in one hand and pressing his temples with the other, Wang Xian asked with concern: "Does Master Jin feel uncomfortable?"

"It's okay," Jin Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The problem that has been caused by ten years of hard work in the window will cause headaches when you are tired, so you can rest for a while."

"It's me wrong, it's so tired that Master Jin is too tired." Wang Xian said apologetically.

"Is Zhongfang ridiculed me? I just shared less than 20% of you?" Jin Wen scolded with a smile: "Don't pay attention to me, otherwise I have to find a crack in the ground to drill down."

"Haha," Wang Xian asked Yang Pu again, "Where is Master Yang?"

"I'm fine, I don't have the old problem of headaches." Yang Pu was taciturn, but he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and sometimes he would just laugh.

"That's good, but you still have to go out and breathe fresh air. It's always good to change your mind." Wang Xian smiled and said, "In the afternoon, the prince is going to go to the baggage camp to inspect some things. Why don't you just put aside the documents and come together?"

"Okay." The two of them agreed happily. After lunch, Wang Xian and the two went to find Zhu Zhanji, and then went to the baggage camp together. They saw that the generals were already there, surrounding two cars and commenting. There were also several carpenters and blacksmiths at the scene.

Seeing His Highness arrive, the generals hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Zhu Zhanji nodded and said to the two masters as if showing off: "Today, we are mainly to see the chariots improved by the craftsmen. During the last exercise, we found that the original chariots formed by the original chariots did not have enough protection for the soldiers. After returning, the military advisor and Mo Wen and others studied it for a long time, hoping to transform it into a new chariot with flexible movement and strong protection."

"What is a new method?" Jin Wen asked curiously.

"You'll know after seeing it..." Zhu Zhanji smiled and pointed at the two modified chariots, saying.

As Zhu Zhanji spoke, Wang Xian smiled at a mature young craftsman and said, "Brother Kuai has improved successfully in such a short time, which is so fast."

The craftsman was named Kuai Xiang. Among the group of craftsmen, the youngest young man was counted, but obviously he was the leader. He just said lightly: "Military Master, don't praise him first, see if you can satisfy Your Highness."

"Look, just look." Zhu Zhanji said as he got out of the field and started operating the chariots. He also explained to the two masters: The biggest improvement of this car is that each car is equipped with eight folding wooden boards, which are usually placed on the chariots, and are opened during combat, and are erected on one side to replace the chariots. After the expansion, the baffle of each car is 15 feet long and 6 feet high, which is enough to resist the arrow stones. There are rings on the edge of each car's baffle, which can connect many chariots side by side and form a round or square formation to resist the impact of enemy cavalry. Moreover, both ends of the car can be opened so that soldiers can defend behind the formation. The soldiers on the car will use long weapons and fire weapons to attack the enemy, and the enemy cavalry will retreat."

After listening to the explanation of Taisun, Jin Wen felt it was very good. Looking at Yang Pu, the latter said slowly: "I heard from Your Highness that this seems to be a specialty to restrain the Tartar cavalry, which can prevent bow and arrow shooting and cavalry conflicts, making their skills unable to be used. We can use the chariot formation to defend against the enemy with spears, bows, arrows, and muskets, right?"

"Master Yang is right." Zhu Zhanji nodded and praised. He is worthy of being a wise man. Such things that he has never been exposed to before can be easily understood.

"But what if the enemy fled far away?" Yang Pu asked.

"This..." Zhu Zhanji was a little ashamed. In fact, he also complained about this turtle tactic, but Wang Xian could convince him every time.

"This is not our duty." Wang Xian cleared the siege for the grandson: "The court has three thousand battalions and Longxiang Guards, which is what they deserve. The duty of our young army is to guard His Highness. I think it is impossible for the emperor to let His Highness charge into battle, right?"

"It makes sense." Yang Pu nodded, and he felt that Wang Xian's idea was very correct.

"There is no way, who made our young army mainly use infantry?" Zhu Zhanji felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "But there are also a few cavalry of two thousand. I picked out a thousand elite cavalry as my personal army, and I can charge for my emperor."
