After changing pure infantry to dragoons on a large scale, they faced a shortage of artillery and bayonets, and of course there was also a shortage of armor. The aftermath of the expansion of the army has not yet passed. The weapons and armor battles have been done their best, but without a large-scale increase in funding, they still have about 40% of the lack of armor to the extreme. Fortunately, there are very few shortages for long spearmen and heavy armor warriors. As for lancers, they have always been the focus of support, and they have not even lacked armor.

"We also hope to try our best to survive this period of time." Zhou Yao looked behind him, and the middle-level staff of several military training departments stood straight, and he said, "Sir, their eyes are all black."

"That's true." Zhang Han laughed: "I will tell the attendant later that the Military Training Department will need to add some benefits in the near future."

"Thank you, sir." Zhou Yao stood up and said, "The morale of the lower head is even more strong. Recently, we have run one regiment after another, and we have organized training plans one regiment after another. Everyone has worked very hard. In addition to the dragon cavalry, the hunting cavalry and the lancers have also made some adjustments. The artillery regiment and the artillery cavalry companies that accompany the army are also there. We have also followed up with various detailed plans and reactions, including physical, mental, technical and tactical changes, and almost cut one person into three parts..."

Zhang Han said: "Based on the reactions below to you, I absolutely believe that what you are telling the truth."

This was a cold joke, but everyone present laughed.

Zhou Yao himself laughed. He was probably the one with the worst popularity in the Hutchison Merchant Army. Except for the veteran Lancers who were brought out by him, no one liked him. Even if he made a list of the Shang Army, such as the ranking of officers that soldiers hated the most, or the ranking of officers who wanted to shoot black guns the most, Zhou Yao was definitely the well-deserved champion. I don’t know who the second place would be, but everyone knows that it must be him.

The Military Training Department squeezed out almost all the potential of people. The soldiers, including officers, had to overload marching and training. Often, people lie on the ground and don’t even want to move their fingers. After a short while, the new order from the Military Training Department came down again. After a few months, everyone realized that their potential was really unlimited. Every time they thought they had reached a limit, Zhou Yao’s new plan would break everyone’s fantasy, and it turned out that the new training plan was even more difficult.

For six consecutive days, soldiers worked hard every day.

The seventh day is still the case.

This cycle is repeated and no one has the opportunity to rest. Now is an extraordinary time. Although there are complaints, the smallest mutiny has never happened.

Compared with the Jiajing year to Wanli and then to Tianqi, the Ming border army's mutiny due to various reasons, the Shang army's military had never had a mutiny under the training of this intensity. It was really a miracle.

"By the way," Zhang Han finally made up his mind when Zhou Yao and others said goodbye: "About the military training department sending people to Taiwan, if Zhou Yao, you can send some good players to set off with Sun Xiaozheng."

"ah?"

Even though Zhou Yao rarely showed emotional things, the news at this time still surprised him.

"Don't worry." Zhang Han smiled and said, "I'm not going to be exiled to him because I was angry, but it's not because of his status or my close friend. I'm just a uncle and a master. The important thing is that it's not because of a quarrel, but because of the senior management of the military department is going to face up to the situation in Taiwan. I originally planned to go there once, but the business city is not able to escape from the center in the short term, and I can't stay away from the center for a few months, so I just met a pillow when I was sleeping. If I hadn't had such a quarrel, I would be embarrassed to send Sun Xiaozheng to Taiwan. This time I went to you to inspect. He just had eyes and ears. You can summarize while watching, and finally see how you practice there. You are the head of the military training department, and you have to listen to you when they train."

Zhou Yao smiled and said, "It is a great honor to say that my subordinates can sail with Zhengshi Sun. In addition, the soldiers of Pidao themselves have been trained very well. They have fought with Jianlu and knew how big the gap is, so they practiced very hard. Unlike the grassland, there are signs of arrogant soldiers, which were not good before. Taiwan has been fighting with the natives. I feel that their combat readiness and physical training will not be bad, but the next thing is to know about the Spanish and Dutch people. I have learned about the missionaries that these two countries are small countries in Thailand, and they are only one or two or three provinces in China. But these two countries have sailed thousands of miles and opened up countless powerful countries, so they cannot be taken lightly. Both countries have

We have ambitions, all the elite soldiers with rich experience in fighting at sea, and we must not underestimate them. As far as we know, the cast guns of various countries in Thailand were much stronger than us earlier. The Flang machine of the Ming Dynasty was a Portuguese artillery that was imitated more than a hundred years ago. Later, we took out red cannons to imitate them. This shows that people can not only travel thousands of miles to our side, but also have better cast guns. If we were to have been in Hutchison for so many years, we would have realized that those who can do these things must have surpassed our Ming Dynasty in all aspects, let alone Hutchison is just a company in the Ming Dynasty.”

"Yes." Zhang Han said with relief: "If you can think of this, those books are really not in vain."

"So we must do our best to fight with it." Zhou Yaosu said: "On the ground, our army is indeed quite advantageous, but no matter how strong the land is, it must be moved to the sea to fight. It is fake if it doesn't win at sea. In addition, the Dutch have built a considerable castle on the island. I have read the drawings. This castle is extremely difficult to attack. I am afraid that if it lives thousands of people, it may not be possible to fight. If it doesn't win at sea, there will be no chance."

"Well," Zhang Han nodded and said, "After you go back, prepare and send some elite soldiers and generals to follow Sun Xiaozheng."

"Yes, sir."

"By the way," Zhang Han signaled a group of escorts to go out first, then called Zhou Yao, and said with a smile: "Originally this was the highest level secret, but to you, we have people from the Military Intelligence Bureau buried stakes in Liaozhong and developed several hidden lines, one of which is your old acquaintance."

"I don't know which one it is?" Zhou Yao's face showed a rare look of excitement.

"You know." Zhang Han said: "Cheng Fang and Yang Yi are both in Shisan Mountains. Due to the rules, they cannot contact you more."

Zhou Yao's face showed a warm look. Yang Yi was his team leader back then, and Cheng Fang was his brother. They escaped from the dead in Sarhu together, and ran out from the dead in Kaiyuan together. Later, Yang Yi disappeared. He and Cheng Fang followed a group of Ming troops in Shanxi to Shanxi. Along the way, the government searched for fugitive soldiers everywhere. Many border troops chose to become bandits, and Zhou Yao, the Zhou Daniu of the past, was one of them.

Later, Zhou Yao and Cheng Fang were entrusted together, and Cheng Fang was hired by the Military Intelligence Department. Zhou Yao first continued to be a bandit to cooperate with He Yusheng. Later, when He Yusheng expanded his army, he seized the opportunity. He first brought hundreds of horse thieves to harass the Mongolian tribes everywhere. The greater the meritorious service, the more resources he was allocated to. Zhou Yao showed excellent military talents, and the honor he received and Zhang Han's appreciation made him rise all the way and eventually became the most core part of He Yusheng.

"It's Li Mingli." Zhang Han searched in his mind and said with a smile: "It's also the same team as you back then. He was captured by Jianlu and did not escape for various reasons. Now that our intelligence personnel have come back, they have become one of the hidden hidden lines."

"It's Mingli..."

Zhou Yao murmured: "He is the youngest among our group. His subordinate is over thirty years old, and he is probably only twenty-five or twenty-six years old."

"Well, so it's your little brother?"

"Yes, we took care of him as much as possible back then, but unfortunately we abandoned him on the battlefield."

Zhou Yao shed tears, but he did not ask for care. The story of Nuerhaci going crazy in Liaodong massacre of Han people has long been passed. For people like Zhou Yao who may have died in Liaodong, he has long been indifferent to life and death. He has a strong comrade-in-arms romance towards Li Mingli, but soldiers all know that they have no way to take care of the life and death of their comrades when performing missions. They can only use the right person in the right position. Even under Zhou Yao's command, Zhou Yao will not hesitate when he should charge in the battle.

The only thing Zhou Yao is worried about is that the hidden intelligence personnel are quite dangerous. Once they are discovered, they will definitely be dead. Any spy on either side is particularly cruel and ruthless, and there is almost no chance of leaving the lives of the spy who is found, including Yu Sheng.

"I hope you can meet again in the future." Zhang Han sighed: "You should be able to return to Liaodong and reunite with your family and friends."

"I'm afraid there are not many left." Zhou Yao saluted again, walked out of the door, and left with the entourage in the courtyard.

Looking at Zhou Yao's back, Zhang Han sighed: "The casual chess move I made at the beginning actually became my right hand."

He turned his head and looked at Yang Qiu who had been silent, and said, "Actually, you don't have to send a briefing every day, just ask the people below to send it."

Yang Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "If I can't meet the adults a few times a day, I feel really worried."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Zhang Han could understand Yang Qiu's thoughts. The Military Information Department is a very large department. Yang Qiu's strength is much stronger than the Inside Information Department and the Special Service. Of course, it is not comparable to the serious army. However, if these military information personnel want to do something secret, or cause a riot or assassination, they will definitely be much stronger than the serious army. With such a huge force, Yang Qiu is not afraid or worried, he will be indifferent. Other military leaders have thousands of troops, and they will still be good at eating.
