Chapter 315: The Secret of the Front Army Scouting Department

Lu Yunyi was the only one left in the conference room, and everything fell completely silent.

The sunlight streamed in through the open door, making the house warm.

The winter in Kunming is so mild, much better than the harsh winter in Gyeongju.

Lu Yunyi sat comfortably in the chair, his smile slowly faded, his face became calm, and his thoughts were undisguised in his eyes.

"Han Yike, Han Yike."

He had no recollection of what this famous official did in Yunnan.

He also underestimated the way Xiping Hou would deal with such things, and he actually took the initiative.

As expected of a governor in charge of a region, Lu Yunyi decided to learn more.

This cleverly used the fact that the impeachment memorials of the Censor-in-Chief could not be sent through the military's 800-li express channel.
You can only use ordinary land post.

In this way, half a year has passed all together.

During this period, he was still the commander of the front army scout department.
He just lost his reputation, but was able to cope with the next war.

As for the impact of killing prisoners, time is the greatest weapon.

Once the Luchuan war officially begins, more than five thousand people will die every day, and everyone will gradually forget about it.

The only thing Lu Yunyi was unsure about was Ying Tian's punishment.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi relaxed his frown, smiled, and stopped thinking about such troubles.

I picked up the exploration booklet beside me and looked at it carefully.
Soon, a smile appeared on his face.

The soldiers became more efficient in their work.

The book not only has categories of people such as common people, merchants, peddlers, clerks, and officials, but also
It is also divided into government offices, military camps, temples, academies, markets, taverns, inns and other places.

This will be more detailed and will allow for more precise control over public opinion in Kunming city.

However, the news of stopping the investigation has not yet spread completely, so no comparison can be made and it can only serve as a preliminary reference.

After reading all the records from the morning, he called Feng Yunfang over.

"Sir, you called me?"

Lu Yunyi nodded slightly and handed the booklet over:

"After the afternoon news is summarized, it is recorded separately from the morning news, and the changes are distinguished.
Starting from tomorrow, summarize every day and every three days to detect the trend. "

Feng Yunfang's face showed deep doubts.
Lu Yunyi suddenly paused and laughed:

"Just tell Black Hawk what he said. He knows what to do."

"Yes!"

Lu Yunyi nodded and waved at him. Feng Yunfang approached, and Lu Yunyi lowered his voice and said:
"The supervision of Liu Changshi in the prison can be relaxed appropriately, but it must be kept tight.
If someone wants to harm him, don't stop him. If he dies, he dies. Just record it secretly.
Don't act rashly and alert the enemy, let Wu Fuliu handle it."

Feng Yunfang looked solemn and nodded gently: "Yes."

Lu Yunyi looked thoughtful, and after a moment he continued:

"Have the saddles in the army been worn out after all this traveling?
If there is wear, replace it immediately.
It's rare for a warhorse to have some free time, so take this time to fatten it up, and don't be stingy with your money."

Feng Yun showed hesitation. Now that the commander was gone, could these things still be done?

Lu Yunyi laughed, knowing that he was confused, and explained:

"I am now the son-in-law of Marquis Xiping. If I change the military funds at will, I am sure there will be gossip.

Now that I have left the military, some things are easier to do. I don't have to be shy about it.

Tell the quartermaster Jiang Feng that he can ask for anything he needs without hesitation."

Feng Yunfang thought about it and seemed to be correct, so he nodded repeatedly.

Lu Yunyi continued, "The original plan was to change the standard for replacing military equipment.
All long swords that have experienced more than three battles and bows and crossbows that can fire more than fifty arrows must be replaced. Don't be careless.

Firearms also need to be replenished, and the original scale will be expanded three times.
The number of muskets was increased from 200 to 1,000. Please ask Xu Zengshou for the specific list required.

Some tactical backpacks also needed to be repaired. If they could not be repaired, they would be remade by the workshops in Kunming.
By the way, leave the production process and drawings in the workshop, if they need to use them in the future, they can do it."

"Did you remember it?"

"I've got it!" Feng Yunfang nodded like pecking at rice.

"There is one more thing. The brothers have become anxious after winning so many games.

During this period of time, we must practice rigorously, give more money when it is necessary, buy more food when it is necessary,
In short, let the brothers eat and drink well, train hard, and also take this time to calm down and reflect. "

As he spoke, Lu Yunyi remembered something, then laughed and emphasized:

"One last thing."

Feng Yunfang was already used to this kind of thing and nodded repeatedly:

"Your command, my lord."

"Order Zhang Yu to summarize the battles he has experienced in recent days, find out the omissions, and propose ways to improve them.

The propaganda should be spread to all the military units and departments, down to the level of a small flag team of ten people.

This matter is particularly important, so let him take it seriously.”

"Yes!"

Lu Yunyi thought about it carefully, and found that there was nothing else missing, so he waved his hand:
"Okay, let's go!"

"Yes!"

"and many more!"

Feng Yunfang seemed to be prepared and deliberately slowed down his pace. After hearing the sound, he stopped and hurried back.

Lu Yunyi smiled somewhat embarrassedly and emphasized:
"One last thing!!"

"Uh-huh."

"Tell Qian Hong to compile a list of all the unmarried men in the army, and to distinguish whether they are the only son in the family or not."

Feng Yunfang nodded repeatedly: "Sir, I'll remember that."

The footsteps came from near and then faded away, and Feng Yunfang left quickly.

Lu Yunyi looked at the time and it was almost noon.
He stood up and walked towards the main room.

After a long walk, he returned to the main house while admiring the scenery of the house.

At this moment, the door was wide open and six maids were standing at the door.

Seeing him coming, they all bowed and called out softly and tenderly:

"Master~"

Lu Yunyi felt his hair stand on end and got goose bumps.
But his expression remained unmoved and he nodded slightly.

When he walked through the door, he could clearly sense some passionate gazes and could not help but quicken his pace.

When I entered the house, the bright red decorations were still there, and they looked even more dazzling under the sunlight.

On the bed, Mu Chuting had already stood up.
He was sitting opposite Xiaohong, with their heads put together, as if they were muttering something.

Lu Yunyi walked over and asked:
"What are you doing?"

As soon as the words fell, both of them were startled, raised their heads in fear and looked at the person who came.

Then, their cheeks turned red in an instant.

Xiao Hong quickly stood up and blocked the bed, hesitatingly speaking:
"Master, it's nothing."

Lu Yunyi looked suspiciously, and Xiaohong also tilted her body to try to stop him.

But her height of just over 1.6 meters could not stop him.
His sight passed Xiaohong and soon he saw the rags on the bed.
There was also a piece of red cloth stained with red blood in Mu Chuting's hand.

Suddenly, a look of enlightenment appeared on his face. It turned out that he was trimming the "fallen red cloth".

In the Ming Dynasty, the red cloth was usually used to prove a woman's chastity.

It will be shown to the elders of the husband’s family to maintain the reputation of both families.

Seeing him looking at her without any resistance, Mu Chuting's blush on her cheeks became even more intense.
He quickly put the scissors and the red cloth behind him and murmured:
"Husband~"

She immediately saw Xiao Hong still trying to cover herself up, and immediately scolded:

"Xiaohong, stop blocking it. Your husband is so tall, how can you block it?"

Eh? Xiaohong looked up blankly.
I saw a wall in front of me, and at the top was the young face of the master with a smile on his face.
In an instant, Xiaohong's cheeks turned red and her breathing became rapid. "Ahem."

Noticing her unscrupulous gaze and the random thoughts in her eyes, Lu Yunyi coughed lightly to wake her up.

Xiao Hong was startled, and quickly stood aside, begging for mercy in a low voice:
"Master, it's Xiaohong's fault."

Lu Yunyi waved his hand: "You go out first."

"Yes~" Xiaohong was a little disappointed and walked out quickly.

After she left, Lu Yunyi walked to the bed and slowly sat down, staring at Mu Chuting who was still wearing silk pajamas.

Compared with her previous coldness, there was now more charm of a married woman between her brows, and a hint of coquettishness was revealed when she blinked her eyes.

"Why does my husband look at me like this?"

The voice became much softer, and even had a hint of hoarseness from just waking up.

"Of course it looks good."

"Give it here, I'll help you cut it. You've never touched a pair of scissors at home, right? The posture is wrong."

As he spoke, Lu Yunyi pulled her hand out from behind her back.

He took the scissors and the red cloth and started cutting carefully.
While cutting, he said, "It's past noon now, are you going home or not?"

Mu Chuting blushed, glanced at Lu Yunyi with some resentment, and muttered:

"My husband doesn't even call me a slave. On the first day of marriage, I slept until noon.

If my parents knew about this, they would definitely scold Ting'er."

"Why not? Sleeping until you wake up naturally is the dream of many people. Now that we have this condition, why can't we enjoy it more?"

Mu Chuting smiled and moved her body.
He came to sit next to Lu Yunyi and spoke in a low voice:
"My dear husband, I have many sisters who are getting married.

I heard there are too many rules, which makes people uncomfortable. You are different, I feel sorry for Ting'er."

As she spoke, Mu Chuting had already laid on Lu Yunyi's shoulder.
Blowing gently on his earlobe, the warm breath began to linger around his neck.
This gave Lu Yunyi even more goosebumps.

"My husband's family~Yesterday Aunt Chang told me,
Women will be extremely nervous when they first experience sex, which makes men less nervous. "

Lu Yunyi stopped scissors, blinked slightly, and looked sideways at the bright weather outside.
"What do you want to do, madam?"

Mu Chuting's eyes were charming, her rosy lips were gently pursed, and her head lowered a little bit, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Lu Yunyi quickly thought of her appearance as a cool fairy in a fluttering white dress.

It's so different from now, my heart beats fast.

Without hesitation, he put the scissors and the red cloth aside and turned to shout at the door:
"Xiaohong, close the door."

Xiaohong immediately poked her head in, with an incredible look on her face. Her face was as red as the sun above her head, but she still quickly closed the door.

Faintly, she could be heard instructing the maids at the door:

"Go, go, go."

At the front scout camp, Duke Cao Li Jinglong did not return to the house arranged by the military commander.
Instead, he returned to the camp and planned to rest in the tent.

Because of his arrival, the uneasy atmosphere in the camp eased somewhat, and the soldiers were relieved.

Along the way, due to the rush,

He did not rest well and had not rested for two or three days. He was extremely tired at this moment.

At this time, Li Jinglong was tossing and turning on the bed, covering his head with the quilt to avoid the sunlight.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the sleepiness in my mind seemed to disappear.

What came up were the many affairs in the military and things that might happen in the future.

What followed was the immense pressure that made it impossible for him to fall asleep no matter what.

But he was still very sleepy, which made him extremely miserable.

Li Jinglong took off the blanket covering his head in annoyance, feeling the light outside.
His bloodshot eyes looked around and soon he saw the many documents that had just been delivered on the long table.
Above are the military affairs that have piled up in the past two days.

He rolled his eyes, sat up, walked to the desk, picked up a document and started reading.

Then, the sleepiness and fatigue in his eyes turned into a deep confusion.
"What is all this?"

[Report to the General.]

I, the lowest general, Wang Bochao, am honored to be the commander-in-chief of the eighth team under General Wu of the Vanguard Army's scout department. I would like to write this letter to express my feelings to my subordinates.

Thinking back to half a month ago, my unit occasionally made mistakes while carrying out reconnaissance and raiding tasks.
Upon closer inspection, it was found that the soldiers' ability to identify directions and conduct long-distance raids was still lacking. Four of the ten teams in our army were

This is no trivial matter; it concerns the subtleties of the war situation and must not be overlooked.

I would like to speak so boldly and hope that the general will listen to me.

First, the lack of direction identification is due to the negligence and haste in daily training.

I earnestly request that we add a course on topography so that the soldiers can understand the trends of mountains and rivers and learn from nature.
And distribute more detailed maps and telescopes in case of emergency.

Secondly, when rushing, it is a big taboo to run out of physical strength and slow down.

I think we should strengthen physical training, not just limited to daily horse racing and weightlifting.
It is more appropriate to incorporate practical exercises such as tactical raids and mountain climbing to improve endurance.

I know that military affairs are very busy, and these trivial matters may be annoying, but the truth is revealed in the details.
I hope the general will not take my words lightly, but will consider them carefully to make the great cause prosperous.

I am willing to dedicate my life to the country and follow the general until death.

Wang Bochao bows again and waits for the general's opinion.]

Li Jinglong frowned, looking confused. What did this say?
He continued reading and saw comments from Wu Fuliu.

[More details, including the time, location, combat mission, number of enemies, distance covered, post-battle results, casualties]
[Replying person: Wu Fuliu]
[Date: January 20, the 22nd year of Hongwu]
Li Jinglong frowned again and quickly turned the page.
I saw the reply from General Wang Bochao. This time it was much more straightforward, and it seemed more like it was spoken.

[While our centurion team was searching for the whereabouts of the Golden Tooth Guard,

Responsible for searching within a five-mile radius in the southeast direction, four teams with small flags got separated due to unclear direction.

The reason was that the map was incomplete and there was no telescope, so they were unable to find their colleagues and could only wait where they were, thus missing out on any military achievements.

During the surprise attack on the Golden Tooth Guard, he was responsible for destroying and dragging the fence No. 13 on the north side. The fence was ten feet long.

Because the soldiers were exhausted, their legs weakened and they fell to the ground.
The stone mines could not be ignited at the same time three times, resulting in some residue in the fence. The destruction was completed after the stone mines were thrown again, but the speed was slow.

After entering the fortress, they followed Lord Liu and attacked from south to north, running back and forth for nearly thirty miles. The hundred-man team killed fifty people.
The casualties included three serious injuries and fifteen minor injuries.

The three seriously injured were injured due to exhaustion, which led to them being separated from the main group and counterattacked by the enemy. The 15 lightly injured were intercepted by the enemy when they tried to return to provide support.]

[Date: January 21, the 22nd year of Hongwu]
Li Jinglong looked strange, and couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart,

In his opinion, this amount of damage and gains was as good as it could be.
Moreover, this centurion was well-organized and had a good memory. Even after so much time had passed, he could still remember everything clearly.

He turned to look at Wu Fuliu's reply.

[Reported]
[Replying person: Wu Fuliu]
[Date: January 23, the 22nd year of Hongwu]
Li Jinglong turned another page and saw what Wu Fuliu reported to Lu Yunyi.

[Your Excellency, some soldiers have reported that they need more detailed maps and tools for combat missions.
In order to identify the direction and complete the combat mission.

I think that the best soldiers should be equipped with the best weapons.
If anything is lost, just hold someone accountable.

Furthermore, I dare to propose the establishment of a "Sharp Cavalry Battalion".
Select people with excellent physical fitness and extraordinary wit,
Specializes in rapid response and deep reconnaissance, wins by surprise, serves as the vanguard of the army, and performs exclusive combat duties.

In the surprise attack on Jinchiwei, the elite hundred soldiers led by Lord Liu advanced straight in with unstoppable force, and everyone was fascinated.

The establishment of this camp can not only train elites, but also inspire the entire army.

As for the specific plan of physical training, I have already drafted a detailed plan.
Including but not limited to morning and evening exercises, load-bearing marches, night raid drills, etc.

I think that the whole army should be physically examined and each member of the army should be classified and rated.
Those with strong physiques should not perform military duties together with those with moderate physiques, as this will cause the two to become too powerful and their combat effectiveness will be damaged.]
[Reporter: Wu Fuliu]
[Date: January 23, the 22nd year of Hongwu]
Li Jinglong flipped through it again and found that it was here.
Today is the 25th and the stuff has been piling up for two days and needs to be dealt with.

However, Li Jinglong's face showed a deep confusion.

How to respond to this? How to deal with it?

Moreover, these documents seemed different from anything he had seen before.

Why is there still a matter of the general flag reporting to higher levels?

"This me?"

Li Jinglong frowned, and suddenly realized something, and his face showed excitement.
He had always known that the front army scouts were strong, but he felt that they were not that strong.

Because in war, they can always find the enemy easily, and then rush forward and easily eliminate the enemy.

It always goes so smoothly that he feels like he relies on luck.

Now, after reading this letter,
His feeling changed. The war did not depend on luck, but on a natural outcome.

What is difficult is not the fighting on the battlefield, but the military system.
