Chapter 24 Ready to go

The Ice and Snow Island is in the ice sea aged, and Weihai City, nearly 600 kilometers away from its west, is also covered with ice and snow.

The ice and snow in the north come very fast and violently. The day before, I could only feel a biting north wind, and the next day it was already full of wind and snow.

In such weather, the war between the Ice and Snow Kingdom and the Beihan Kingdom was naturally pressed. So, the Beihan Kingdom could still be sent by Xia Kingdom to the Ice and Snow Kingdom to participate in the coronation ceremony.

Although the ice and snow islands of the Ice and Snow Kingdom have entered the ice sea age, there is no sign of ice overseas in Weihai City. According to scholars from Xia Kingdom, this is caused by warm currents from the south.

The tail of part of the warm current from the southern equator is located near the sea of ​​Weihai City, and the rest of the current is changed from south to north to from south to north to north.

However, the cold current from the north goes straight south from the north of the Ice and Snow Island. This is why the Ice and Snow Island enters the ice sea aging early every year as soon as the cold season enters the cold season, and it is still within such a short one or two days.

Therefore, Weihai City is completely covered with snow and ice, and there is no way to fight the battle, but Li Bao and Xiang Chen are not without anything.

After nearly a month of forced enlistment and the reorganization of the captives captured before the reorganization, the knights of the Ice and Snow Kingdom finally expanded to 50,000.

According to the agreement, Xia Guo will be responsible for the training of these 50,000 people, and provide them with a full set of weapons and equipment. Of course, Xia Guo provides all cold weapons.

Originally, Yang Song had thought about handing over the front-mounted smooth-bore flintlock rifle that Xia Guo soldier Tao had replaced to the Ice and Snow Kingdom, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Because if an old flintlock rifle is provided for it, it must provide ammunition, which will inevitably lead to the exposure of gunpowder.

The reason why Yang Song had this idea was because he thought it further. In the future, with the exchanges between the Xia Kingdom and the Ice and Snow Kingdom, whether it is private or official, the relevant scientific knowledge will inevitably be known to outsiders.

You should know that in the Xia State's education system, as long as you enter secondary and higher education, you will learn science knowledge in chemistry, physics and other sciences. As the knowledge of the people in Xia State increases, the exchange between the two countries will make this knowledge impossible to keep.

But this is a long time later. Even if outsiders gain this knowledge and develop their scientific system, it will be a longer time. Not to mention that Yang Song has been asking the Foreign Information Department to pay attention to this information.

In short, after the excellent weapons and equipment from the Xia Kingdom were taken over by the army of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, no one was dissatisfied with the knights or ordinary soldiers.

Don’t be dissatisfied with such excellent equipment. They have never seen such excellent equipment before. The sword and spear are all much better than Baijing Steel. When compared with their previous equipment, it is rubbish iron.

After discussing the subsequent organizational issues, Li Bao and Xiang Chen discussed that because the quality of the Ice and Snow Kingdom army was low, they were trained according to the previous organization of the Xia Kingdom's vassal army.

Ten people are a small team, hundreds are a squadron, thousands are a large team, ten thousand people are a 10,000 people are a 10,000 people are a 10,000 people, and the 10,000 people are led by the big and small knights of the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

After such a simple piece of work, I started practicing in this ice and snow.

At first, due to the weather, neither the knights of the Ice and Snow Kingdom nor ordinary soldiers were willing to do it. However, compared with the example of the Marine Brigade of the Xia Kingdom, they had to start practicing in the face of the wind and snow.

After all, the power of comparison is still very large, not to mention the problem of face. If the Xia Kingdom's army was training hard in the cold weather, while the soldiers of their Ice and Snow Kingdom were lazy and sleeping, it would be a bit unpleasant.

However, due to the bad weather, you can only do training without any field, such as rank and military posture. Even if you train in the wild, you will find it difficult to train these routine physical fitness.

Fortunately, there is no war until next summer begins, which means that there is still more than half a year to train slowly.

Seeing that there was no Xia army in the north, Li Bao asked Yang Song for advice in letters and agreed, he transferred most of the naval brigades back to the country.

Only one battalion of infantry was left to train the army of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, and several warships were stationed near the sea of ​​Weihai City, and the rest returned to Xia Kingdom.

At this point, the support of Xia Kingdom to the Ice and Snow Kingdom was the most important step and the initial step. Only part of the subsequent support plan was military supplies.

...

The six months of the Ice and Snow Kingdom were spent in the midst of wind and snow. For locals who are used to it, these wind and snow are their daily lives.

But for the people of Xia, who are in the south, the wind and snow here are particularly biting, and the wind and snow that lasts for half a year are simply torment. I guess after Li Bao, Xiang Chen and the soldiers who stayed behind return to Xia, they will not want to see the wind and snow for a long time in the future.

Fortunately, this kind of scenery with only a vast white area in front of me is about to pass, as long as they complete the last task.

"General, April is coming soon, we can all go back." Xiang Chen rushed to Weihai City after finishing his domestic rest.

In the past six months, not only Li Bao and Xiang Chen took turns returning to the country for rest, but also the soldiers from a battalion who were left behind also went through two rotations.

Although the weather in Weihai City is bad, it is also a good place to train the will of the army, so Xiang Chen also rotated the soldiers left behind.

Li Bao nodded in agreement with Xiang Chen's words, and replied: "Yes, the results of the past six months are about to be tested."

"By the way." Li Bao said this, as if he suddenly thought of something and ordered Xiang Chen: "Go and tell the people of the Ice and Snow Kingdom that at the end of May or early June, these 50,000 troops will have the power to fight."

"Yes, general." Xiang Chen clasped his fists and saluted and went to do things.

In the remaining month, Li Bao was preparing to take advantage of the warmer weather to strengthen the military's combat training and hold a military exercise to test the results of the training.

At that time, the senior executives of the Ice and Snow Kingdom will definitely come to observe the military exercises. Li Bao doesn’t want to lose Xia’s face - he is still very confident in this regard.

The fifty thousand people in the Ice and Snow Kingdom are no longer the same as before. Their resolute expressions, strong bodies, and orderly discipline are enough to prove their elite level.

If I hadn't known the origin of these people, no one would have thought that these 50,000 people would have been so incredible half a year ago.
