Chapter 68
Sure enough, there is some problem.
Zhang Ming stood on the hillside and looked at the soldiers who were slowly advancing on the rugged and difficult road under the cliff next to him, thinking.
After all, the southern border is full of mountains and ridges, and there are few people who have to bring their own dry food to march. However, this also increases the burden on the soldiers, and slows down their marching speed. Even some various accidents will occur.
"Let's go! Speed up!" Zhang Ming saw that the team had all passed by and followed the team's back, shouting loudly, his chest kept rising and falling, and a force kept surging in his chest.
His shouts also used some bursting skills of royal aura. Through this, he could enhance the mental power of the soldiers and make their will more firm. At least he would not feel resentful in his heart because of such a marching. This was the least necessary and worrying thing for Zhang Ming.
But even so, it is now the third day of their trip. They can maintain a marching speed of more than 100 miles a day in the past two days. But today, when the sun is at least 300, I have only walked less than 40 miles. It seems a bit difficult to achieve the task of marching a hundred miles today.
The main slaughter beside him saw Zhang Ming's wink, and he thought to himself and came straight to his ears. He muttered in Zhang Ming's ears for a while, but Zhang Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this.
It turned out that the main operator Fang Man gave him an idea. The current marching speed cannot keep up, mainly because the team is too large and bloated. However, if Zhang Ming wants to show off, he does not have to bring all the troops at one time to complete it. In theory, he can split hundreds of elite troops to open the way first, and then let the remaining thousands of troops walk slowly.
As long as he ensures that he can arrive in advance and is eye-catching enough, his troops only need to arrive within eight days.
This trick was ignored by Zhang Ming. He couldn't help but look at Fang Man beside him with satisfaction. This officer was the most diligent official who moved closer to him after Zhang Ming arrived in Yandang, or this was also related to his background.
His father was just a small pavilion chief under Yandang County. Compared with his colleagues and superiors, most of them were from nobles, and they had been county magistrates and even high-ranking officials at the level of county magistrates within three generations. His background can be said to be very low. It can be said that he was able to get to the position of a chief corporal officer by chance, and only with his own excellence can he do it.
Therefore, he is also the most active person in Yandang County to tie Zhang Ming, a visible backer. Everyone knows that as long as Zhang Ming does not mess up, although he is just a second son, his future prospects are limitless.
But other people naturally have their own persistence. First of all, they don’t think that a second son is not a legitimate son. Although they seem to be excellent enough to achieve the status of his father, if not, then they themselves, as children of nobles, will not be too afraid.
Of course, offending is impossible. Everyone can see that although the original owner of Zhang Ming's body made a mistake, it is obvious that there is still a lot of potential for punishment for being punished here. However, it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to get closer, unconditionally and exert all enthusiasm to complete Zhang Ming's explanation.
Fang Man was different. As soon as Zhang Ming arrived, he wanted to show his abilities and highlight Zhang Ming's cleverness. In the future, whether he went to the battle with Zhang Ming or his daily work, he was completely blameless. This was also what made Zhang Ming look at.
In short, now that Zhang Ming has given advice, he no longer thinks about leading all his soldiers to arrive together. This is obviously unlikely. Although he is not a fool, he can completely gain huge benefits that he cannot imagine by doing so, but due to the limitations of reality, he will inevitably make choices.
Zhang Ming is rational, and he can only accumulate the influence of the plot a little bit, and he still understands the principle that hasteness will not be understood.
So he immediately asked all the teams to stop completely, summon all the officers above the captain, and then asked them to start drawing troops.
It took about an hour to reorganize it on the spot, which made each team leader re-familiar with his members. At the same time, Zhang Ming also had a sufficiently elite and familiar team composed of three battalions. Most of the troops belonged to Changzheng Garrison. After all, these people are often the best soldiers.
Fortunately, Changsha's military training method does not require the power of the military formation to be under the same familiar Shangguan man. As long as Shangguan is not stupid enough, it is enough. Whether it is the various phalanxes or tactics that are usually trained, they are familiar enough to everyone. It does not require that the person around them to be able to do it.
This is like some kind of high-precision mechanical part. If one is damaged, replace it with the same type. If you want to modify the entire machine, remove or replace the corresponding parts, without any special communication between the parts, and any one can be replaced.
Since Fang Man was so sensible, Zhang Ming naturally trusted more. At this moment, he completely entrusted the remaining thousands of soldiers to Fang Man to lead troops. Of course, this is also his right to be the one who is responsible for the handling, and it is normal to be like this.
Of course, Zhang Ming also had some tricks, such as appointing the chief clerk as his deputy, which was also a talent who was actively moving towards Zhang Ming. Similarly, his origin was not very high. His grandfather had served as a county magistrate in the hinterland, but by the time his father had only served as the county magistrate. By the time he came out to be a resident, his father had already retired.
The deputy was left just to prevent the lieutenant from being a spy sent by the enemy country, and he directly kidnapped all the soldiers entrusted to him by Zhang Ming. If so, Zhang Ming would lose thousands of soldiers at once, and still lose like this. I am afraid that it would really become a joke in the middle school of the country and would never have a day to turn things around.
The soldiers did not have so many ideas. Shangguan had too many ways to deceive the soldiers. He asked them to do the wrong things first, and could only follow them and eventually turn public to private. But if there was an independent voice in the leadership, it would be difficult to do these things like this, and the chief clerk would play such a role.
After getting ready, Zhang Ming was finally able to lead his newly assigned elite soldiers to continue marching.
As expected, it was indeed very fast. After only two days, on the fifth day of Zhang Ming's army's expedition, they finally arrived at the county seat of Zhangling County, Huagou!
