Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A series of firing guns rang out.And Ye Chengmin, who was looking at the billowing white smoke, was also very satisfied and said to Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang, Ding Qirui, Ye Chuchun and other gentry: "This is the Western big gun!"
What do you think of the red-haired people?
The firearms used by Zhu Youxiao's Yulin Guards are not inferior to them, and it took a lot of money to purchase this batch of firearms!
”Hong Chengchou nodded: "It's more powerful than the bird gun and the combined machine gun!"
”As he spoke, Hong Chengchou looked at Ye Chuchun with deep eyes: "Chu Yuan, when you raised troops with King Fu, when you saw the Yulin guards of the imperial court, what kind of firearms did they have, but they had such power." ”Ye Chuchun pretended to be excited and pointed to the Western firecrackers purchased by the reactionary gentry: "From Ye's point of view, the power of this firearm is even worse than that of the Yulin guards, and the firerope will burn faster!"
”Here, Ye Chengmin, who was also listening carefully, laughed first: "I'll just say, he, Zhu Youxiao, can buy a firearm from the West, can't we, and he can buy a better firearm than him, with this gun, coupled with Qi Gong's mandarin duck array training technique, I don't have to worry about overthrowing the tyrant's government!"
”Hong Chengchou continued to ask Ye Chuchun: "Chu Yuan, I still have a question, the Yulin guards you saw at that time, but they also used this kind of combat method to fight, swords and shields, spears, firearms, and wolf swords, combined together?"
”Ye Chuchun nodded: "It is also the method of the Mandarin Duck Formation." ”As an undercover agent, he knew that if he wanted to gain the trust of Hong Chengchou and other reactionary gentry, he could not hide it when the other party asked him with information that could find others to ask for the same information, otherwise, it would be easy to be questioned, so he answered truthfully.Hong Chengchou stretched his brows with a little reassurance, and said, "As long as it's still a mandarin duck array, I'm afraid that the imperial court will use a new tactic now!"
However, some things are difficult to determine, Brother Wen, now in the court, can we have our eyeliner?
”Yang Sichang said helplessly: "No!
The current court, it can be said that the needle can't be pricked, the water can't be splashed, the iron bucket is general, the East Factory is staring closely, I heard that there is also a Xingming Society, to unify the concept of governing the country, otherwise it will be criticized and marginalized, and therefore, it is difficult for us to know what the imperial court is thinking now, and what Zhu Youxiao wants to do next!
”Hong Chengchou nodded and smiled bitterly: "Well, if the court can be so good at inserting eyeliner now, why do you want to come to exile here, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven has already changed!"
”Hong Chengchou said and looked at Yang Sichang again, and said: "However, Brother Wen, even if it is difficult for the court to install people, we have to install them, knowing ourselves and knowing that the other side will win all battles, otherwise, it will be easy to suffer a big loss!"
”Yang Sichang replied: "I'll let them do their best!"
”"Although Zhu Youxiao is brutal, his insight is very human, almost demonic, and we can't take it lightly."
Hong Chengchou said again.Yang Sichang laughed and said: "Hong Gong doesn't have to be too ambitious and destroy his own prestige, now we also have Western firearms, and the support of the Japanese Shogunate, Li Dan brought news from there, the Shogunate Matsuura Domain has persuaded the shogun to agree to cooperate with us, and said that he will fund one million stone grain to us, because last time the imperial court forcibly borrowed seven million stone grain from the shogunate, but it made the shogunate very unhappy, and also gave us the name of the Shogunate Cooperative Army, in short, the Shogunate Army, We, the Shogunate, can stay, live, trade, and fight piracy in the Nagasaki and Herado areas. ”"The Shogunate?"
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but say: "In order to save some money and food, you would rather cooperate with the Japanese slaves now!"
In fact, it is better to spend more money and food, directly train the soldiers, force the Japanese shogunate to give up a large island for a domain, and then in the name of returning to the hometown, call on all soldiers to bravely counterattack the mainland, who follows you out is not homesick, even the pirates are afraid that they want to return to their roots, and attack in the name of returning to their hometown, which not only boosts morale, but also makes the gentry who have not gone to sea not hostile, otherwise, if you cooperate with the Japanese shogunate, sooner or later you will be treated as a Japanese Kou, don't forget, the people of the southeast have no good impression of the Japanese Kou. ”Yang Sichang just smiled and said: "It's good to counterattack the mainland in the name of returning to the hometown, sure enough, it is Hong Gong, and when the time comes, he will attack in the name of the "Returning to the Hometown Regiment". ”"These are just minutiae, the real key is that we have to train soldiers to be able to fight against the elite of the imperial court!
However, since Chu Yuan said that the current Yulin guards of the imperial court still use the mandarin duck array, it will be much easier!
The most important thing in the training of the mandarin duck formation is to train the soldiers strictly, and during the training, those who falsely claim to be sick will be killed!
Abandon the weapon, slash!
Firearms shooters who fire early or late fire, slash!
Therefore, the first thing we need to do next is to train rigorously. ”Yang Sichang was a little embarrassed: "That being said, they are all hired for money, and it would be a pity to kill them directly, some of them are not our gentry's own people, they are the brothers of Li Dan and these pirates, it is a little difficult to train strictly, so we can only try to make them more serious!"
”......
"In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to have stricter military discipline in the Guards, and on the basis of the original requirements for military discipline, it is also necessary to require military attachés at all levels not to shield their subordinates, otherwise, in addition to those who violate discipline should be severely punished, those who shield them should be punished in two ways, depending on their severity: expulsion from Yulin Wei and direct beheading, because once they are shielded, they will inevitably be suspected of favoritism and forming a party!"
At present, there are more than 30,000 guards in the army, and there are quite a few generals at the rank of staff and guerrilla generals. ”At the court discussion on whether the next training of the guards should be improved, Lu Xiangsheng directly suggested that military discipline should be made stricter to prevent the military attachés from pulling the mountain.Zhu Youxiao, who was present at the court meeting, nodded and instructed Luo Zhijie: "Join the military discipline!"
Whoever shields his subordinates must not be spared!
”"Yes!"
Luo Zhijie immediately replied.And at this time, Zhou Yuji also said at this time: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of the minister, in addition to military discipline, the next Guards training has to make some changes, the minister has been ordered to test fire the flintlock pistol, the flintlock pistol from the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau is really better, and their new artillery, the same power of the artillery is much lighter than the original artillery, and because of what bearings are added, it is also lighter to transport, and it can completely allow more artillery to act with the infantry in the future, so, the minister thinks, The mandarin duck formation should be changed to a phalanx with infantry and artillery, artillery in front, infantry in the rear, you can defeat the enemy, spearmen and sword and shield hands or anything can be dispensed without, so that the formation of a new army can be faster, moreover, flintlock pistols and bayonets, it is rare for the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau to come up with it, when you really need to fight, you can install the bayonet as a spearman!
”Zhu Youxiao nodded after hearing this, glanced at Xiong Tingbi, and said with a smile: "You coincide with Xiong Aiqing!"
Collimate!
It was up to you to form a battalion and train it like this, and then it was named the Praetorian Guard Battalion, and the officers and soldiers were transferred by yourself, and the firearms and artillery were also provided by the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau on a priority basis!
”Zhou Yuji immediately saluted and said, "The minister obeys the order!"
”Zhu Youxiao said and asked Huang Degong and the others: "What about you, do you have any suggestions?"
”Huang Degong and the others looked at each other and did not speak.Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "That is the case, then I say, in my opinion, in the future, in addition to large-scale battle formations, we must also be prepared for small battles, and we must train a special army that can quickly solve some emergencies or special tasks, the number of this kind of army does not need to be too much, but it must be brave and good at fighting, from the soldiers to the military attachés must be strictly selected, such as the Bayala of the Eastern Prisoner, this is organized and trained by Huang Degong and Chen Xin to the whole army, Huang Degong trained the Yongwei Battalion, Chen Xin trained the Marine Battalion, Be brave in both water and land battles in order to be ready for future attacks at sea!
”"Yes!"
Huang Degong and Chen Xin immediately replied.
