Wang Junwan was from Ningyuan, Qinzhou. He served as the commander of Qin Feng as a palace attendant.

Wang Shao opened the border, and Yu Longke, the chief of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, returned to his country, but he did not leave the Qiang and Xinluo alone.

Wang Junwan pretended to go on a hunting trip and entered Xinluo Jie's territory, and then invited Xinluo Jie to hunt with him. "He rode on the mountain, fell off his horse, beheaded him and galloped back to offer him a sacrifice."

When Wang Shao was dinging the river Huang, Wang Junwan came out of Nanshan and took a dangerous route. A Qiang chieftain was lurking in the valley. He suddenly jumped out and stabbed him with his spear.

Wang Junwan turned sideways to avoid it, turned around and struck hard, and cut off the chieftain's horse with one sword. The crowd screamed and obeyed. It turned out that the person killed by Wang Junwan was Yao Sibu, the chieftain of Hehuang.

After that, he broke through Beiguan, Nanshi, and solved the siege of Hezhou. He accumulated the most achievements and was awarded 500 pieces of silk by the imperial court. Now he is under the jurisdiction of Xihe Road, and the Dazhou regiment is trained as an envoy.

No wonder a bunch of boys are obedient to him, this one is already a general!

Qian Gu cupped his hands and said, "Qian Zirong, the master of the family, has met all brothers and Wang Qianjia."

Wang Junwan smiled and said: "It turns out to be Xiaohou Ye, but you can't call me like that here. They are all Pao Ze. You should call me squad leader. Isn't the Qian family a scholarly family? Why did you let me join the army?"

Qian Gu also sighed: "Isn't this the power of Nanyang Navy's gunboats, and the battle between hundreds and thousands of people after Cao Liu left, which made my father's blood boil for a while..."

Wang Junwan couldn't be happier: "The bloody boss is trying to attack his son?"

Qian Gu shook his head: "I can't help it. I am the only one in my family who can't hope to become a Jinshi. I have been training myself as a merchant since I was a child. I just want to eat, drink and have fun under the shadow of my father and brother all my life."

"Who would have thought that doing business now requires being able to fire cannons? Those envoys from the South China Sea, tsk, tsk, tsk... By the way, Brother Wang, aren't you already a member of the Yizhou Regiment?"

Wang Junwan said: "Hey, don't mention it. I was training the new army with Uncle Gao Guo. When the college sent a letter asking the army to recommend cadets, Wang Chudao gave Uncle Gao Guo a bad idea and asked him to send me here."

After saying that, he pulled Qian Gu to sit down: "Brother, let me hear what you said, that...cannon, is it really powerful? Also, that magical gun, is it also a divine weapon?"

Qian Gu suddenly became excited: "That's right! We came to the artillery squad to make a profit. Brother, aren't you training the new army? Why haven't you... stood up! Salute!"

Everyone stood up and saluted with their chests raised.

Zhong Ji walked in wearing the summer uniform of the New Army, with a gloomy face: "What are you fishing for? Ridiculous! Do you think this is a market exchange?"

Wang Junwan quickly explained: "Captain, we are joking, don't be angry."

Zhong Ji said to Wang Junwan: "This killer class may not be easy to lead. You have to show them to death. I will polish off all those dandy habits on your body. If they can't be polished off, just keep them here."

Here, until the grinding is finished!”

After speaking, he said to several people: "Your father and brother are both generals in the Western Army with outstanding achievements. I don't ask you to come here to embarrass them!"

"What do you know? Cavalry, archery, and plundering. These things are not easy to use in the new army. Everything has to be built from scratch! Boy from the Zhe family, your grandfather just gave me the whip, saying that if I don't succeed, I will use the whip.

Cut it off and then patch it up!"

Zhe Keda shuddered when he heard this.

Wang Junwan said: "Chief, my brothers have all come from the battlefield. Battle training is nothing for them, but this calculation skill..."

Zhong Ji said: "Isn't this just for you to find talented people from the Qian family? I have no other requirements. The third artillery class must be a model class for me in the college. All studies must be excellent. Three words, it means the appearance of a person."

!We cannot lose the prestige of the Western Army!"

If the king stands at attention, he will definitely live up to his command!

Zhong Ji then glanced around: "Have you read the "Cavalry Training Code"? What are your thoughts?"

Wang Junwan smiled bitterly: "It's too detailed and complicated. From the vertical and horizontal changes of the saber squad, to the five-step march, to the brigade level, to the gun squad suppression... There are also sleeping horses to hide, encirclement and cutting, etc. I think if my subordinates can have

With a team of 5,000 that can handle everything at once, why should we guard Xiaoguan? We can just go out and level the river!"

The "Code of Conduct" is very detailed, and even has strict regulations on the cavalry steps of marching and charging, the marching distance and rest time.

For example, the definition of saber platoon is as follows: "A saber platoon is usually composed of five groups and fifteen corps, divided into three squads. If the number of people in the platoon cannot form a corps, there will be a lack of a second squad and a second corps in the saber squad, such as a platoon

If the number of people is less than four groups, the first class and the second group will be missing, but the gun class is not allowed to be missing."

Another example: "Turn within a row, divided into rows, columns, groups, and singles. When stopping, use slow steps, and when moving, use walking steps. If the terrain is not narrow or short distances can be passed quickly, turn left in rows."

"When turning more than half a circle, you need to go back a quarter circle first, then stop and then proceed to the next quarter circle."

For another example, a special word is designed for marching in the training code, pace, which is the ratio of the total riding time to the fast walking time. For example, during the march, walking slowly for 40 minutes and walking fast for 20 minutes becomes one-third.

pace.

There are strict regulations on how far to march, how to march, and what pace to use depending on the military situation.

In addition, the daily march speed is 45 to 55 kilometers, and the emergency march is 80 to 100 kilometers per day. However, the emergency march cannot be used continuously, and it must be repaired for more than eight hours. Even ordinary marches are not allowed to be continuous.

The march lasted for more than three days.

The many regulations and regulations are extremely detailed.

Zhongjie said with an expressionless face: "Surrounded by a hundred cavalry, it can cover thousands of people; spread out by a thousand cavalry, it can cover hundreds of miles."

"But we are different from the Xia people. Now that we have the power of firearms, our army's attack range is far longer than that of the Xia people."

"Shaobao mentioned a tactic that I think is very advisable, that is, our cavalry should always attack the enemy outside the killing range of the enemy's formation. We can hit them, but they will never be able to reach us."

All the boys got excited after hearing this. This idea was a bit wicked.

Zhong Ji looked at the group of juniors in front of him: "The prerequisite for the implementation of this tactic is that our horses can run faster than the Xia people, our weapons have a farther range than the Xia people, our discipline is better than the Xia people, and our formations are more flexible than the Xia people. We must do it.

Gather and disperse as you please, and return to the world as you wish."

"Your Majesty has allocated a large reward, and Shaobao has brought good horses and sharp weapons. If we miss the mark on the word 'human', how dare we be worthy of the word 'royal' in front of the military academy?!"

"Three months later, there will still be an assessment waiting for you. If you fail to win the formula, I will have to get out! You can't even touch the magical gun and thunder cannon, do you understand?!"

Everyone finally became honest: "I understand!"

…

Luoyang, at the former site of Xingluocang by the Luoshui River, Shen Kuo and Wu Anchi stood on a high loess hill and were saying goodbye.

Shen Kuo had excellent performance due to his contribution to the South China Sea. He was recommended by Lu Huiqing and should join the imperial court.

Cai Que wrote again, accusing Shen Kuo of being "capricious and attached to ministers. He is not worthy of promotion and should not be promoted."

Su You then wrote a letter, saying that the so-called repetition was just because Shen Kuo put forward some suggestions for improving the new law when Wu Chong was the prime minister.

Now Wu Chong has been away for several years, and Shen Kuo has gained 100,000 hectares of land in the South China Sea and settled hundreds of thousands of people. He should be promoted both emotionally and rationally.

If the imperial court feels that it is not appropriate to join the imperial court, then it is better to order him to revive Luocang and conduct another inspection. If he succeeds, he will be credited with both merits. If he fails, he will be punished with both crimes.

So Shen Kuo was finally able to return to the mainland from the South China Sea.

When passing through Huangzhou, he also brought a piece of Nanhai coal essence to Dasu to express his apology. Afterwards, he entered the Han River from Huangzhou, went all the way north, took the imperial road of the Tang Dynasty, and entered Shaanxi.

This waterway was explored by Dong Fei when Su You was in Weizhou, and now it has become the main road from Jianghuai to Luoyang.

"Boom——"

On the loess plateau on the mountainside, an explosion sounded, and then an earth cave appeared in the smoke.

The bronze whistle sounded, and a team of construction corpsmen wearing work clothes popular from the South China Sea drove an ox cart to the entrance of the cave and began to pull loess onto the cart.

Wu Anzhi raised his hand to Shen Kuo and said, "With Cunzhong's advice, I have made up my mind. It turns out that this explosive is so powerful. Within a year, I will be able to fulfill the sacred mandate and connect to Luoban!"

Shen Kuo also cupped his hands and said, "Brother Fool will respectfully send you off to Brother Xian for this great achievement."

Wu Anchi looked at the rail winch road built from the pier to the mountainside: "I have never seen the Kuizhou Railway. Compared with the railway here, is it bigger over there?"

Shen Kuo was also proud in his heart: "The Xingluo Railway uses wire rope traction, and the load of a car can reach four tons."

"In addition to greater functions, wider rails, and greater load-bearing capacity, check piles are also installed on the ramps, and there are check bolts on the vehicle to prevent major accidents."

"The project is divided into three sections, with a length of 1.5 kilometers, a climbing slope of 30 degrees, and flag pavilions at the top and bottom for communication. It can lift materials from Luoshui Wharf to Banshanyao City for storage."
