Father can be an enemy to the country

So the soldiers on Puding Fort were surprised to find that the Yuan army, which had been about to withdraw, suddenly stopped leaving.

To be precise, half stayed and half left. Moreover, the part that left did not return to the west, but set off to the east.

This made them a little uneasy. They were worried that because the Yuan army could not capture Puding Fort, they were going to attack Guizhou to take away their home base?

But Mu Ying told them that there was no need to worry at all. The imperial reinforcements had already arrived in Guizhou and were heading towards Puding Fort at this time.

Therefore, the Yuan army was to stop the Ming army, not to seek death in Guizhou, which was more than 200 miles away.

When they heard that the Ming army was coming, the soldiers felt relieved. There are also many Mu Kui who are very excited, clamoring to take the initiative to attack when the time comes, to engage in an internal and external attack with the official army, and to destroy the Yuan army!

But Mu Ying said deliberately: "No, you are too weak. You are so stretched when defending a city, and you still want to fight in the field?"

When Amang and others heard this, their faces were a little confused, but compared with the Ming army, they were indeed good at it, so they had nothing to say.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu happened to be nearby. When he saw this, he interceded for them and said: "Hey, Marquis Xiping, don't be too harsh on others. I see that the soldiers from the east and west of the river are brave in fighting and obeying orders and prohibitions. They are all the same good men. "

"Yes, yes, your highness is right." Zhong Mukui hurriedly agreed: "We warriors from the east and west of the water are no worse than anyone else, but we have not fought many battles, so we are a little in a hurry."

"Once it's raw, then it's familiar again. If you hit it again, it won't get messy."

"Yes, what you said is correct, but fighting in the field is different from defending the city. It is still the first time for you." Mu Ying softened her attitude, but still did not let go.

"We often fight in the field, not Brother Chu." Amang and others seemed to have been greatly insulted, and argued with their necks straight: "We have rich field experience."

"You guys swarmed up to start the movie. That's called a clan fight, not a field battle." Mu Ying said lightly: "A real field battle between two armies requires formation of troops and understanding of command orders. When one enters, the other will advance." , when those who retreat retreat, can you do it?"

"We..." Amang and others were about to say that they could, but they had to rely on their fortunes to make this bullshit, so they hesitated for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "You can learn it."

"That's right, defending the city is so complicated, haven't we all learned it?" All the Mu Kui nodded.

"Really want to learn?" This is what Mu Ying was waiting for.

"I want to learn, I want to learn, of course I want to learn." Zhong Mukui nodded quickly.

"Then we have to make a three-part agreement. Only if you agree can we teach."

"Promise, promise, we all agree!" All the Mu Kui nodded like pecking rice, they really wanted to imitate.

The fighting qualities and fighting methods displayed by the Ming army opened their eyes and made them realize how capable they were. Of course I want to learn from the Ming army, and whatever I learn is my own.

Mu Ying also really wanted to teach them, so the two sides hit it off.

~~

There was no fighting for the next few days, and the two sides entered a strange stalemate.

The Yuan army besieged Puding Fort but did not attack it. Instead, they ran to the mouth of the canyon in the east, dug trenches, built strongholds, and carried out extensive construction work.

The Ming army in the fort also "did not hear what was going on outside the window and concentrated on training Luo Luo soldiers."

The biggest problem for the local soldiers in the east and west of Shui is that they are scattered. There are more than 20 armies led by more than 20 Mu Kui. They are not subordinate to each other. They have many orders and each has his own thoughts. How can a joint force be formed?

What's even more outrageous is that many Mu Kui are facing the same dilemma. They can't control Mu Zhuo under them, and they are in disarray.

Therefore, Mu Ying reorganized them according to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, with two Ju Mu serving as the chief and deputy commanders, with Mu Kui as a thousand households and Mu Zhuo as a hundred households.

The grassroots general flag officers and small flag officers are served by soldiers of the Ming army. They are responsible for the daily training of the native soldiers and teach them military regulations, military discipline, and military orders.

Seeing the rapid transformation of their own soldiers, Mu Kui was so happy that he couldn't help but hand over the troops to Mu Ying for training.

"Oh, these idiots are still helping count the money after being sold..." Standing on the wall of the fort, looking at the heated training scene, Liu couldn't help but complain.

"Don't say that. How can they understand His Highness's foresight?" Shexiang chuckled.

They knew that Zhu Zhen was helping them concentrate their military power. After this reorganization, the troops in Shuidong and Shuixi had a new organization and a new military order system, and they could directly command the grassroots troops without Mu Kui.

There will no longer be the embarrassing situation of ‘my army is not my army’.

In this way, those unruly Mu Kui would no longer be able to challenge them.

"Don't be too superstitious about the system." Zhu Zhen was also there. He smiled and said to the two girls: "No matter how good the system is, it must be able to be implemented. Therefore, if people are not good enough, no matter how good the system is, it will be in vain."

"Then your Highness, do you think we can do it?" Liu Shuzhu covered her mouth and smiled, with a hint of charm in her smile.

"Haha, I have been optimistic about you from the beginning." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "But the distance will tell you the horse power, and the time will tell the people's hearts. Whether it will work or not, you will know after you have done it."

"Your Highness, is it appropriate to do this kind of thing now?" Shexiang asked softly.

"You have to take advantage of now, the extraordinary period to do extraordinary things." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "If you don't take advantage of this moment to firmly grasp the military power, when the war is over and the army withdraws, who will support you? ?”

"I understand." The two women nodded.

"Of course, don't move for the next few days. When the army arrives and they are completely honest, it will not be too late to establish rules." Zhu Zhen warned again.

He was really worried about these two little widows.

"Yes." Shexiang responded and asked, "When will the army arrive?"

"Counting the days, it's almost here." Zhu Zhen looked towards the mouth of the canyon and said slowly.

~~

Mu Ying calculated the date, so there would be no difference.

From the moment he decided to attack Puding Fort, he sent a messenger to contact the Marquis of Yingchuan. Naturally, the approximate date of arrival of the army can be estimated.

The Marquis of Yingchuan did not keep His Highness and the Marquis of Xiping waiting. After receiving the news, he personally led 30,000 front troops and rushed to Guizhou with light equipment.

In Guizhou, as soon as Shexiang took over as Ju Mu, he immediately sent Along back to deliver the order, ordering the ministries not to obstruct the government troops and to try their best to provide support to the government troops.

Now that most of the men in the tribe are fighting in Pudingbao, the tribesmen who are left behind still hope that the officers and soldiers will rush to support the front line, so naturally they are working extra hard. Men, women, old and young went into battle to open roads, build bridges and deliver water and food for the officers and soldiers.

In this way, the Marquis of Yingchuan could lead his army deep into Wumeng Mountain in a short period of time and reach Puding.

Watching the army, with the help of local people, trekking through mountains and rivers and passing through maze-like mountains and forests, Marquis Yingchuan couldn't help but secretly appreciate the contributions made by His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Marquis Xiping.

If they hadn't taken down the Guizhou side first and forced the army to break through Wumeng Mountain, he would definitely have to repeat the difficult situation that King Ning He found when he penetrated into Kunlun Mountain.

"General, Puding is just ahead." Just as he was sighing, he saw Aron pointing to the mountains in the distance and saying, "Puding Fort is in those mountains."
