The generals and expedition troops are determined.
Considering that the next step for the expeditionary force was to cross the sea and take a warship sooner or later, Zhang Yi ordered targeted training.
The soldiers built a wooden frame and hung coarse cloth or rope nets on it. The personnel stayed on it all day long, including eating and drinking.
Those who cannot adapt to long-term turbulence will be excluded from the expeditionary force.
From the 40,000 wolf cavalry of the Eastern Military Region and the Southern Military Region, 20,000 were selected after testing.
The Mopan City Iron Army are all warriors with super strong wills, and they all passed the test. Of course, the training is carried out non-stop, and willpower alone cannot sustain them. They must completely adapt to the bumpy state.
Later, even the war horses going out were put on training equipment.
Zhang Yi dispatched troops and generals, sending Zhou Rui to replace Niu Ben as the commander of the Eastern Military Region, and Jiang Hua to replace Shi Gandang as the commander of the Southern Military Region.
The handover between the old and the new was smooth. Brothers Zhang Yi always pioneered at the front, and then handed over the work to the generals and told them what to do.
Now, we are just waiting for the reply from Greater China and Little China. Both companies have to hold meetings to discuss, so we need to wait patiently.
In the palace garden, two large iron frames were set up with cloth beds hanging on them. These were Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu's training equipment.
Jueying and Feihuang also need to be pulled up to adapt to the bumps.
Feeling dizzy.
The training was fine on the first day, but Xiaoliu vomited on the second day.
On the third day, Zhang Yi vomited.
A whole day of training is really unbearable.
"Brother Yi, isn't there ever a time when the sea is calm?" Xiao Liu shouted.
"No, during the Yuan Dynasty, more than 100,000 troops went on an expedition to Japan. They encountered a huge typhoon and lost most of them. The Mongolian, Korean and Jiangnan armies were either killed or captured," Zhang Yi said.
"It's really unlucky. I hope we don't encounter a typhoon." Xiaoliu prayed.
In the event of a typhoon, even steel battleships will turn into duckweeds in the vast ocean. The bumps and undulations are astonishing.
There were no life jackets in ancient times.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi immediately sent an order to Xianyang Rubber Factory to design and manufacture life jackets, life buoys and life rafts.
In this way, even if the ship capsizes, many people can escape.
Xiaoliu's five sisters also wanted to go together. The girls were so dizzy during the training that they all burst into tears.
"Otherwise, don't go." Xiaoliu said angrily, "The war hasn't started yet, and if you cry, it will affect the morale of the army!"
When she said this, the girls gritted their teeth and held back. They had grown up with Xiao Liu and were as close as sisters. How could they not go?
It is said that the youngest girl, Xiao An, had a relationship with Shi Gandang. Shi Gandang came to the palace whenever he had nothing to do and encouraged Xiao An and other girls.
Even though Shi Gandang is fat, he is extremely adaptable and can stand steadily on the shaking equipment. He can also gnaw on chicken drumsticks, which are delicious.
"How on earth did you do it, little fat man?" Xiao Liu said enviously.
"Well, I don't know either, sister-in-law." Shi Gandang's answer almost made Xiao Liu angry.
"You're looking for a beating, Xiao An, go beat him up!" Xiao Liu said angrily.
Xiao An rushed up and started hitting him, his little fists banging on his body.
Everyone laughed so hard that Xiao Liu deliberately helped the two of them and brought them closer together.
"Liu'er, don't be jealous of Xiaoshi," Zhang Yi laughed, "He is heartless and doesn't think about anything. He just lets himself go with the flow, and it will be fine."
Don't tell me, this is really a trick.
Shi Gandang, Niu Ben and Xiao Han are all fine.
Especially Xiao Han, even Shi Gandang envied him. He not only stood firm, but also felt that sleeping in this bumpy state felt extremely comfortable, just like lying in a cradle.
Xiao Liu was completely speechless, Xiao Han was like a light leaf, able to take it calmly wherever it fell.
With role models, everyone can learn from experience.
Don't resist, don't overthink it.
Simply let go of yourself and remain hollow, and the situation will gradually improve.
After seven or eight days of training, Zhang Yi, Xiao Liu and the sisters were able to adapt.
Anu and Yue Yaer have been encouraging from the side, and the two pregnant women are running around, serving everyone. They want to endure the hardship, but no one will agree.
At night, Xiao Liu and Zhang Yi slept in the hammock, rocking back and forth. Not to mention, it really felt like returning to the cradle.
…
Half a month later, the two countries responded and agreed to attack South Korea's Bangzi and Ryukyu Islands.
As Zhang Yi expected, the two countries were very cautious when it came to their respective interests. They were worried that Zhang Yi's army would have other intentions if it penetrated deep into the country's hinterland.
"I'm so angry. They don't want to judge the heart of a gentleman with the belly of a villain," Xiaoliu jumped from the training equipment to the ground angrily, "We trained so hard and suffered so much just to solve the problem of China." We are enemies, they are on guard against us at every turn!"
"Sister-in-law, please calm down." Chen Yiyi apologized. When no one from Xiaozhonghua was present, he would call Xiaoliu "sister-in-law." "I didn't expect that this would be the case. I seriously doubt that it was poured into their minds. It’s sea water.”
Only when he was angry would Chen Yiyi say such words.
Everyone laughed, and Xiaoliu's anger disappeared.
"Oh, it's nothing to do with Brother Chen, you're just spreading the word in the middle," Xiao Liu said, "Anyway, this road is finally open. South Korea, Liu Jing, and Japanese pirates, haha, we will soon come to the city and kill them. A person who has thrown away his armor!"
"Greater China plans to dispatch 100,000 troops, sister-in-law, and sworn brother," Chen Yiyi stood next to the training equipment and continued, "The leadership meeting decided that General Du Lin will serve as the commander, and Vice Premier Sun will serve as the military governor..."
What?
Zhang Yi jumped off the training equipment. He believed that wherever Vice Premier Sun appeared, nothing good would happen.
"Brother Chen, how come there is such an appointment?" Zhang Yi asked in surprise, "Shouldn't it be Marshal Zhu Hao who is in command? When the army goes out for an expedition, what is the purpose of appointing a governor?"
"Brother Yi, please understand that I am far away in Chang'an and am not very clear about the changes in the domestic political situation," Chen Yiyi said helplessly, "I feel that Marshal Zhu has become less vocal recently, and General Du Lin's status has increased. The military governor is The inherent positions in the Greater China Army can even suppress the commander in some cases."
Alas, Zhang Yi was speechless.
This means that he has to deal with that guy, Vice Premier Sun.
how so?
A big country can always make small people gain power, but upright soldiers like Marshal Zhu Hao and Chen Yiyi are often marginalized.
Zhang Yi had to seriously consider the expedition. Vice Premier Sun would definitely steal the credit. Zhang Yi didn't care about this very much. He would not end well if he gave random orders.
I was afraid that Vice Premier Sun was causing trouble behind his back, especially after Zhang Yi showed off new weapons such as artillery and armored vehicles, what would Vice Premier Sun think?
Driven by jealousy and greed, he can do any bad thing!
