Chapter 60 Before the War Part 2 Although it has many flaws, the Huaiyang General Manager's Office is still much more efficient than other bureaucracies of this era.
On the morning of the meeting, enough new muskets and one hundred upgraded muskets to equip an entire regiment, along with the corresponding ammunition, were allocated to the Fifth Army.
At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, Wu Liangmou, commander of the Fifth Army, also hurriedly appeared in the study of the Grand Controller's Mansion.
"I think the four-stack horizontal formation you summarized last time is very good.
So as soon as the new Thunder Gun and Divine Machine Gun were created this time, I immediately thought of the Fifth Army.
Here are all the further steps I can think of.
The direction of tactical improvement may not be correct , you can take it for reference."
After the two parties sat down respectively, they said a few words about the situation.
Zhu Chongjiu then picked up a stack of prepared information and handed it to Wu Liangmou, who looked slightly nervous, with a smile, "I don't ask for this battle.
You conquer the city , mainly to test the power of new firearms and perfect new tactics.
Qizhou faces the river to the south, is close to the water to the west, and has two mountains behind it.
It should not be too difficult to defend, but what needs to be watched out for are the friendly forces.
The traitor, Ni Wenjun is God after all The left prime minister of the imperial court has a deep roots.
The conflict between him and Xu Shouhui is not entirely his fault.
Therefore, it is inevitable that some people in Qizhou City will sympathize with him or be desperate for Xu Shouhui and prepare to hand over the city in exchange for their own family. way to survive” "Yes, I will definitely keep the governor's teachings in mind."
Wu Liangmou stood up, saluted, and took the information with both hands.
"Sit down, there are no outsiders, don't be so restrained."
Zhu Chongjiu raised his hand and returned Wu Liangmou's gift, adding with a smile, "Because we are not going to let you attack the city and seize territory, our Huai'an army is not going to station in Qizhou after the war.
So. this time you You can only bring some of the elite soldiers of the Fifth Army, but you have to negotiate with the Navy.
First, it must meet the strategic goal of defending Qizhou and repel the enemy.
Second, it is a long way. , separated by Zhu Chongba and Peng Yingyu's territory, so you must carefully consider the supply of food and supplies, lest the Navy is unable to deliver supplies to you due to any unexpected or weather reasons, and you will be cut off immediately.
Consider the issue of casualties, because this battle is not at home, nor is it for ourselves.
If there are too many casualties, the morale of the brothers will definitely be affected.
As a coach, you must consider everything and not just be greedy for credit."
"The general will understand."
Wu Liangmou thought for a while and nodded vigorously.
"In the end, the general is going to adopt the technique of round-robin warfare.
He will first bring two brigades there.
Then every half a month, another brigade will be transported from the water to replace one of them.
In this way, there will be two brigades of soldiers in Qizhou City at any time.
Defense.
The replaced brigade can return to Yangzhou to continue resting and sum up combat experience."
"It's a good idea."
Zhu Chongjiu nodded approvingly, "I guess you have seen the appearance of the new Thunder Gun and the new Magic Gun.
The biggest change is to change the match ignition to flint firing.
The speed has increased a lot, but the misfire rate has also increased.
Especially for novices who have insufficient training, misfires may occur during battle.
I'm afraid it will exceed 30%.
In addition, the service life of the flint wheel and trigger can only be guaranteed to be more than 400 firings.
Therefore, the daily maintenance and maintenance of the musket will require special training for you and Huanwu.
You are very thoughtful, I hope that after this battle, you can come up with a relatively complete training plan for me."
"The general knows that the general will live up to the commander's expectations."
Wu Liangmou thought for a while and nodded vigorously again.
"Other trivial matters have been written down on the paper.
You can take it back and read it slowly.

I won't talk to you too much today."
Zhu Chongjiu smiled, stood up and ordered, "Go down and train.
I guess Xu Shouhui's messenger won't be able to come."
So fast.
You should still have a few days to prepare for the war."
"Yes."
Wu Liangmou immediately stood up and saluted, turned around and strode out.
He crossed the threshold with one foot, but then slowly stepped back, "Lord, I will have a few words at the end, I don't know whether I should say them or not."
"Pretend, you should keep pretending.
I'll see how long you can keep pretending."
Zhu Chongjiu glared at him and curled his lips with a smile, "Get back here and let it go as soon as you can.
Don't act like a yes man, as if I'm not a good person."
Like a reasonable tyrant" "My lord, general, I know my mistake.
Please forgive me, lord."
Wu Liangmou's tense shoulders immediately relaxed, and he turned around with a sneer on his face, "General, I feel guilty, so I don't dare to make mistakes.
There is absolutely no dissatisfaction with the Lord at all.”
"If you are dissatisfied, just say it.
I don't seem to have forbidden you from talking."
Zhu Chongjiu glared at him again and ordered with a smile, "If I really wanted to punish you, I would have ordered you to seize your military power.
It won't last forever.
Wait until now” "My lord, I will never forget your kindness to each other."
Wu Liangmou quickly smiled and flattered Zhu Chongjiu, and then said sarcastically, "That guy Han Laoliu has indeed betrayed my lord's trust, and he himself regrets it.
Out of reach” "Why, do you think he was wronged?"
Zhu Chongjiu frowned, and the smile on his face slowly turned cold.
"No injustice, no injustice, he deserves it."
Wu Liangmou stood up straight and waved his hands vigorously, "The general thinks that the lord is nostalgic for his old friendship.
If the general is left to handle this matter, I will send his whole family to dig coal."
"It's surprising that you, Wu Youtu, can be so cruel."
Zhu Chongjiu smiled and shook his head disdainfully.
"Before he took action, he cried twice, and everything was probably over.
If not, you would have to apologize to him in turn."
"The last general, the last general," Wu Liangmou began to sweat on his forehead and his face turned red.
Before coming, he was indeed entrusted by Han Laoliu to test his lord's attitude.
Unexpectedly, before the goal was achieved, his true identity was revealed.
"Forget it, being kind and righteous is not a bad thing, but it's good to grasp the right balance.
After all, we are preparing to build a country, not to dominate the mountain and claim to be the king."
Seeing Wu Liangmou in such embarrassment, Zhu Chongjiu waved his hands and smiled.
He comforted him and said, "You are a good general, and you will definitely be a handsome man in the future.
But you can't be a civil servant yet, so don't worry about some things anymore."
"The last general must remember the governor's teachings."
Wu Liangmou's forehead became more sweaty, and he raised his hand to salute Zhu Chongjiu again.
Zhu Chongjiu smiled and raised his hand in return, "Go ahead and bring a message to Han Laoliu for me.
Since he likes to give favors, he will take care of all the veterans who retired due to injuries.
This is his last chance.
If he returns If you don’t know for sure, then no wonder I’m mean and unkind.

After all, I am now the general manager of Huaiyang, and every word and deed will affect the future of all of us.”
"Yes" Wu Liangmou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and left again.
"By the way, there is one more thing, please consider it at your own discretion."
Zhu Chongjiu stopped him from behind, then turned around and took out a pen, and quickly wrote a name on the palm of his hand, "Remember this person, if you find anything wrong with him Wherever there are, get rid of them immediately without considering anyone’s attitude or asking anyone for instructions.”
"Yes."
Wu Liangmou suddenly shuddered in his heart, looked at it carefully, and then promised loudly.
"The general will never betray his lord's trust."
"Go."
Zhu Chongjiu smiled and waved, walked a few steps slowly, and sent Wu Liangmou out of the study door.
The latter put the information into a leather bag, straddled it on his shoulder and hurried away.
He walked out of the chief steward's cabin in a few steps and jumped on the horse's back.
Under the escort of personal soldiers, he rode like lightning all the way.
It wasn't until he returned to the military camp that he breathed lightly into the sky, then tightened the reins of the war horse and remained silent for a long time.
"What's wrong?
The governor still refuses to forgive the six sons without begging for mercy."
Liu Kui, the deputy commander of the capital, was waiting impatiently.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside the Chinese army's tent, he quickly stood up and came out to greet them.
"My lord has never blamed him at all, so why forgive or not?"
Wu Liangmou smiled, with a hint of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.
I didn’t blame him too much, so I couldn’t forgive him.
In the eyes of his lord, Han Laoliu had long since become an ordinary civil servant.
When you deserve to be punished, you will be punished according to the rules; when you deserve to be rewarded for meritorious service, you will be promoted according to the rules.
The friendship of fighting side by side back then has long been exhausted.
"No way.
Since the lord has given him a chance to make a comeback, it means that you have not given up on him.
Have you misunderstood the lord's meaning?"
Liu Kui didn't understand what Wu Liangmou meant at all.
He opened his mouth and asked in a low voice.
"Work hard.
The Commander-in-Chief has high expectations for our Fifth Army.
From now on, you and I will just lead the troops to fight, and don't meddle in other people's business.
After all, keeping the Commander-in-Chief in power is the most important thing right now."
If you want to be in a stable position, you must have rules for everything."
Wu Liangmou glanced at him and warned loudly.
"Nana" Liu Kui still didn't understand and scratched his head anxiously.
However, the marching commander Shi Ludeshan smiled and pulled him, and whispered: "Didn't I tell you, don't worry about it.
Everyone has his own destiny.
We are generals, so we should do the things of generals.
Other matters will naturally be weighed by civil servants.
As for Han Laoliu, with his protective temper, it may not be a bad thing to be responsible for arranging wounded soldiers."
"Indeed."
Wu Liangmou nodded tiredly as he muttered a person's name silently in his mind.
If it were the governor two years ago, he would never have given himself this hint.
At that time, the governor lacked the aura of an emperor, but was as bright as the rising sun.
The governor has changed, and he is no longer the Zhu Bayi who used to fight against the enemy with a butcher's knife on the banks of the Yellow River.

However, he and many people in the General Manager's Mansion have not yet realized this change.
As for whether this change is good or bad, Wu Liangmou can't say clearly.
Perhaps this is great news for the Huai'an Army as a whole.
But for a specific person, this is not the case.
As the governor himself said, he is now the general manager of the entire Huaiyang.
And in the future, the governor will be the founding king of the country
