As Zheng Chenggong said, this army has indeed made great progress in the past two years, but huge problems in the ratio of arms still exist. Especially the cavalry, not only the quantity is very small, but also the quality

It was really ugly. Not only did he see this, but all the generals under his command saw it clearly, so that when Wang Qifeng returned to the military station, the generals looked at this new arrival again.

The gaze of the surrendered general was completely different.

"Wang Shuai is good at what he does. From now on, this cavalry town will depend on Wang Shuai."

"The general will do his best in the end, please rest assured."

Wang Qifeng knelt down and prostrated, and Zheng Chenggong helped him up with both hands. The Zheng Group was originally a maritime merchant and pirate group. The navy was the best in the China Sea, but the land division was dwarfed by it. Among them,

The infantry and artillery are okay, at least one is used by southern soldiers, and the other can simply draw artillery crews from sea ships, but cavalry, whether it is Jiangsu, Zhejiang, or Fujian and Guangdong, the prosperous land on the southeast coast, has never been

It is not a place where horses are produced, and even Yunnan horses, which are more suitable for carrying goods, are not found here.

However, on the battlefield, the cavalry's powerful maneuverability and huge momentum often have the final say. Zheng Chenggong needs experienced cavalry generals to improve the combat capabilities of his cavalry. This is why Chen Kai recognized Shi Lang's advice.

The reason why it was not accepted by Zheng Chenggong was because although Wang Qifeng was originally just a guard, he happened to be a cavalry commander and had some experience in training cavalry.

"The cavalry is no better than the majestic formation of the infantry. It is a clutch of soldiers. The so-called clutch of soldiers, to put it bluntly, when it is necessary to attack together, it must be gathered into one body at the fastest speed and in the most appropriate way; it needs to be dispersed

When you come, you must disperse at the fastest speed and in the most appropriate way without any hesitation."

"Then what kind of choices need to be made at what time, and in what way do they need to be done?"

"This cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. But from today on, killing the enemy's horses and cutting off the horses' ears will be the same as beheading!"

Tieqi Town started training on Dongshan Island. Some of Zheng Chenggong's troops stayed on Dongshan Island, while others returned to Nan'ao Island. With naval contacts, it is very simple for the army to regroup. What is left now

It's nothing more than an opportunity.

On Nan'ao Island, the original headquarters barracks in the city and the original Guangdong and Fujian camps were once again filled with troops. Even the outside of the city, which had been abandoned for a long time, was originally the three towns of Zhongchong Town, Zuochong Town and Youchong Town.

The place used by the soldiers and horses when the town was first built was also reorganized, but only one camp head in Zhongchong Town and Zuochong Town lived in it, because that camp was originally designed for only 1,500 people.

Used by soldiers.

The Ke brothers returned to Nan'ao, visited their parents, and reunited with their wives and children. In the evening, Ke Chenshu tested Ke Ping's knowledge. After a while, it seemed that the level of Confucianism had not improved beyond his expectation. Eight-legged stereotypes

Wen seems to have made no progress at all, just no regression, but compared to the last time he took the test, his mind is obviously much more flexible, not as strict as before, and he has a bit of pedantry at such a young age.

"Whoever you study with will determine what you will learn. It will work, it will work. When my son grows up, the world will probably be peaceful, but he will have to take the imperial examination in a serious way. I really don't know, this

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to leave it to you to preach and receive responsibilities?"

Ke Chenshu smiled and said to himself, if it was a bad thing, he didn't really think so. Apart from other things, Ke Ping, Hong Xu and Chen Yonghua learned a lot from Chen Kai. Hong Xu and Chen

Dingdu has praised me on different occasions. A more active mind will benefit me throughout my life. It is always more beneficial than studying hard for the imperial examination.

Here Ke Chenshu asked Ke Ping with great interest what Chen Kai had taught them on weekdays. He kept thinking about it and suddenly realized it again. But Chen Kai, the instigator, was not in Nan'ao at all.

island.

"Joining the army, the wind in the mountains is cool, you'd better rest in the tent."

Cai Qiao was a tall and thick-set man, but his heart was as delicate as his name. Under the protection of Zheng Chenggong's personal bodyguard, Chen Kai set out from Dongshan Island and landed in the Xinwei area on the other side, and then headed north all the way.

Heading to Guanpi Town in the Second Capital of Zhao'an. Perhaps the destination of Chen Kai's trip is the Changlin Temple he visited last year.

"It's okay, it's not cold at all. It seems like someone is talking about me."

"Is it possible that a young lady from some family has fallen in love with joining the army and is looking forward to joining the army and going to her house to propose marriage?"

"Yes, joining the army is of noble character, good looks, and talented. Even the surnamed father of the country praised him highly. What young lady wouldn't fall in love with him when he sees him?"

The two soldiers who were also gathered around the campfire were joking. Cai Qiao, on the other hand, turned around and glared at them. They were so frightened that they didn't even dare to cook on the fire. They hurriedly hesitated to go to patrol the sentry and ran away.

He jumped so fast that his shadow disappeared.

"These guys are not talking about anything big or small. I hope that the army will forgive me. If they do something like this, they will be severely punished for their humble position."

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't care about red tape. Besides, what they said is right. I, Chen Kai, have always been so good. If any young lady is interested in me, she can't tell.

It’s still a good marriage.”

Chen Kai has a good temper, and he has no airs with the guards and soldiers. They all watched it all the way. If it were other people, they would never dare to make such a joke, but following Chen Kai

Kai, I will always feel more relaxed, and I will gradually relax a lot.

In comparison, Cai Qiao has always followed Zheng Chenggong. His coach has strict military laws, is merciless, and does everything strictly. Of course, habit is one thing, and more importantly, he is a personal bodyguard.

I also know more about the inside story - the Chen Canjun in front of me looks amiable, but in fact he is not really good-tempered. I think of the relative who captured Hong Xu when they met, and the man in Chaozhou Fucheng.

In the General Military Mansion, there was a sudden revolt and a life-threatening figure. Thinking of the figure who dared to point his finger at the leader of a large army with a small size like Shi Lang, the more he dared not slack off in the slightest.

In September, in late autumn in southern Fujian, the temperature is getting cooler. Indeed, as Cai Qiao said, the deeper the night is, the colder the mountain wind becomes in the clothes.

After chatting for a while as usual, Chen Kai returned to the tent to rest. After walking for a few days, the distance between Dongshan Island and Guanpi Town was only about a hundred miles, but over the mountains and ridges, relying on the

The guide is familiar with the road. Although he takes shortcuts, he actually spends many days on the road.

I came to this mountain col to take shelter from the wind today, and I was greedy for itinerary. But tomorrow, I will not only arrive at Guanpi Town to rest, but also directly arrive at the final destination of Changlin Temple, but not without the mountain breeze this night.

. Sure enough, by noon of the next day, they really passed by Guanpi Town, and by the afternoon they had arrived at Changlin Temple.

There, Lu Ruoteng's younger brother Lu Ruoji, Monk Daozong and several other brothers from the Wan family, as well as Lin Dezhong, who had been sent here by Chen Kai for four or five months, had all received the news and were specially waiting at the mountain gate.

And a moment later, in the open space in front of Changlin Temple, a forest of spears pointed straight into the sky. Under the setting sun, even though the scale was pitifully small, the determination like the mountains of southern Fujian that surrounded them was still present.
