"Lao San, you said that if I were to lead the expedition myself...?"

On the general stage of the Yulin Guard School, looking at the Yulin Guards who were practicing in full swing, the little fat man suddenly asked Wang Bing.

"What? A personal conquest by the charioteer? No, no, I haven't married yet. Do you want me to be beaten to death too?"

As soon as Wang Bing heard that the little fat man proposed to lead a personal expedition, Wang Bing jumped up as if someone had stepped on his tail.

Learning from the past, he didn’t want the Ming Dynasty to produce a second ‘Ming Dynasty God of War’, nor did he want to become the second unlucky guy to be beaten to death.

"The late emperor did not understand military affairs and sent troops in a hurry, which led to the capture of the deceased. Do you think I am the same as the late emperor? Or do you think you are a traitor like Wang Zhen?"

Pointing at the Yulin Guards sergeants who were practicing on the school grounds, the little fat man spoke with confidence.

Indeed, compared to the 'Ming God of War', the little fat man's military attainments are at least countless times better than him.

You know, although Wang Bing is leading the training of the Yulin Guards most of the time, the little fat man, the general of the Yulin Guards, is really capable of commanding the Yulin Guards skillfully.

Especially after receiving the guidance of famous generals like Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang, it can be said that his command level is not inferior to most generals of the Ming Dynasty. This was learned by Wang Bing after privately asking Ma Fang and Qi Jiguang.

However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and even a general like Qi Jiguang who has never lost a battle in his life does not dare to guarantee victory in the next war.

Therefore, even if there was only a chance, after the emperor was captured once, it was impossible for the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to agree to the little fat man's personal expedition.

"Brother-in-law, don't ever think about the imperial commander's personal expedition in your life! Not to mention the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, we are the soldiers of the Yulin Guard. Just ask, do you think they will answer?"

"Well, I also know that it is difficult for the imperial commander to personally conquer the army. I am unwilling to do so! Look at what the Liaodong Army has done this year."

It turns out that starting from the first month of the ninth year of Wanli, the barbarian Tatars invaded the border several times. First, Jinzhou guerrilla Zhou Zhiwang was defeated and killed, and later the deputy commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army was defeated and died.

Coupled with the recent tumultuous invasion of Guangning and Yizhou by 100,000 cavalrymen, they were only repelled by the Liaodong Army. It can be said that in the ninth year of Wanli, they have been at a disadvantage in foreign wars!

"Your Majesty, apart from occasionally going to the grassland for 'hunting', the Yulin Guards have not really fought a single battle since they became an army. This time, let the general lead the Yulin Guards to get this place back! Anyway, this Yulin Guards is also your Majesty.

Those who have been trained are almost the same as those trained by the imperial commander in person!"

Seeing the aggrieved look on the little fat man's face, Wang Bing immediately opened his mouth to fight.

"Well, forget it, let's talk about it next year! You are getting married in half a month. If I ask you to lead the army now, won't your eldest sister blame me to death?"

Looking at Wang Bing with a fighting spirit on his face, the little fat man quickly waved his hand and refused.

"What kind of business is this? It's not a gentleman to not avenge a grudge! You can get married later, but how can you postpone this year's grudge until next year? Don't worry, Your Majesty, you will definitely lead the Habayashi Guards to present a big gift to the year-end court meeting.

Congratulations!"

Regardless of the little fat man's objections, Wang Bing resolutely asked for a fight.

"Well, when you come back, my little sister and I will personally host your wedding!"

With a hard slap on the thigh, the little fat man finally couldn't resist the temptation of the 'gift' at the year-end court meeting, and agreed to Wang Bing's request to lead the Yulin Guards on an expedition.

…

"Li Chengming, take people to the War Bureau to collect ammunition. The paper shells will be collected in five basic quantities per person in the army. The grenades will be collected in two basic quantities. In addition..."

After the little fat man announced that the Yulin Guards would take the initiative to conquer the Tuman tribe, Wang Bing began to make preparations for the expedition that night.

For the Habayashi Guards who are fully equipped with firearms, this ammunition is naturally the top priority.

"Third brother, isn't it too much? The ammunition alone weighs almost sixty kilograms. If we add in the weight of food and baggage, it will affect our marching speed!"

Before Wang Bing could finish speaking, Li Chengming, the person in charge of the army's logistics, began to object.

You must know that all the Habayashi Guards are now equipped with straight-rifled flintlock bird muskets, and the cone-shaped bullets they use are much heavier than the original spherical lead bullets. Add in the gunpowder, and the total is one paper-cased bullet.

They weigh almost eight coins.

According to Habayashi Guard's standards, one base number of paper-cased bullets has one hundred rounds. If the ammunition amount is carried according to five base numbers, the paper-cased bullets alone weigh more than 40 kilograms. If two base numbers are added,

That is the weight of twenty grenades. The ammunition alone weighs sixty or seventy kilograms.

"Hey, I don't plan to bring food baggage. I just need to bring a tea brick and some salt for each flag. Then we will eat Tatar cattle and sheep!"

"Can the sergeants get used to this...?"

Hearing that Wang Bing was going to "eat the enemy", Li Chengming couldn't help but asked with some worry.

"What's wrong with bringing them meat? It's decided! Each person only needs to bring three days of solid food after leaving the customs! In addition, each brother will be given half a year's military pay in advance, and tell the brothers that we will pay for it later.

After winning back, Your Majesty will give you another reward!"

Although the morale of the Habayashi Guards does not need this money to boost them, the rules they should have are still indispensable.

…

"Third brother, we are going to leave tomorrow. Why don't you go and say goodbye to the eldest sister? The eldest sister doesn't know that we are going to leave yet!"

The day before departure, Qi Panzong suddenly found Wang Bing and wanted him to meet his eldest sister before leaving.

"You think I don't want to go? Qi Shuai said that I'm not allowed to see your eldest sister before we get married. What can I do?"

In fact, Qi Jiguang's obstruction was just an excuse. The real reason was that Wang Bing didn't want the 'female instructor' to worry. After all, the 'female instructor' had just experienced this kind of thing three years ago, so Wang Bing planned to wait until he left.

Let your eldest sister tell her.

"No, you have to go see eldest sister today! Otherwise... in short, you have to go today!"

Qi Panzong couldn't give any reason, so in the end he gave up all reasons.

"Third brother, go meet Sister Qi, otherwise Sister Qi will definitely have a washboard in her dowry in the future, hahahaha!"

No one believed the reason Wang Bing gave.

"Brother Qi, how about tomorrow? Look, it's almost dark today. Come over now and Qi Shuai won't treat me like a thief and beat me up!"

"We've already set off tomorrow, how can you see my eldest sister? No, you can go back with us now!"
