Chief of Staff and Marching Sima Zhang Yingchen frowned tightly, and a pimple almost twisted into his eyebrows. He had been staring at an arithmetic problem drawn on the sand table for more than ten minutes, the standard calculation formula had been written on paper, and the problem was quite simple, it was a problem for calculating time. Zhang Yingchen only needs to find the side length of a triangle according to the angle, and then divide the side length by degrees, and use division to calculate a time.

The entire operational strategy was formulated by the Military Committee, whose members were Wei Ze and Zhang Yingchen, four brigade commanders, and officers from several key departments. And the formulation of the battle plan is the job of the General Staff. Zhang Yingchen has now become chief of staff from deputy chief of staff to chief of staff because of his outstanding appearance.

Now the new chief of staff is imitating the calculations made by the former chief of staff, Wees, many times, to deduce the basic steps of the battle. When watching Wei Ze make plans, Zhang Yingchen felt that he had learned. When it came to the actual operation, he realized that he had not learned at all, and many things he still had no concept in his mind.

Now, after two months of surprise study, Zhang Yingchen is not the only one who participates in the study. Those who can work in the staff have at least received training. What Zhang Yingchen did, the staff officers in the staff department probably knew. The staff officers are not even as good as Zhang Yingchen, they don't know what it is, and they don't know why. Five or six selected people, one holding a sand table, some of them were anxious, and they bit the bamboo sticks that were used as pens in their mouths, and the hard signatures were all bitten full of gaps.

The arithmetic and geometry problems could not be solved, Zhang Yingchen changed to another sand table, and he began to try to solve another problem with coordinates. After frowning at the coordinate system for a long time, Zhang Yingchen suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up, and he said excitedly as he walked: "I see!" I see! ”

The staff officers of the General Staff Department looked at each other one by one, not knowing what Chief of Staff Zhang had figured out. However, everyone was embarrassed enough at this time, and there was such an opportunity, the staff officers put down their work at hand and asked Zhang Yingchen.

"Chief of Staff Zhang, what did you understand?" "Tell me, tell me. I don't understand what's going on! ”

Zhang Yingchen didn't answer, his arms were hugged in front of his chest, he lowered his head in contemplation for a while, and raised his head and closed his eyes for a while. After a long while, Zhang Yingchen opened his eyes excitedly, let go of his arm and said: "The problem is like fighting, don't think that it will move, in fact, it will not move, no matter how the person moves, the picture will not move." What's this called......"

As he spoke, he grabbed a piece of paper, and Zhang Yingchen read: "Origin! That's the origin! ”

The staff officers originally wanted to learn something from Chief of Staff Zhang Yingchen, but the more they listened, the more confused they became. Zhang Yingchen solved his own problem, he ran back to the sand table, and after some calculations, he calculated the final result.

Zhang Yingchen is determined to learn Wei Ze's ability, and in the past two months, he has learned from Wei Ze how to write and recognize four or five hundred characters in the southeast, northwest, up and down, left and right. And it's hard to connect these words with reality. In addition to learning to establish the concept of connection between words and reality, Zhang Yingchen also learned basic mathematical and geometric concepts from Wei Ze.

For example, the concept of 36o degrees, which could only be expressed by east-southeast or south-southeast, can now even vaguely establish the concept of describing the direction of the march from angles. Let him count from o to 36o in one breath, Zhang Yingchen can already do it. The problem is that when he says 359 degrees, Zhang Yingchen will first make a rough estimate clockwise in his mind, and there is no way to directly come up with one degree counterclockwise from the o degree.

As a genius who discerns direction, Zhang Yingchen can easily recall and construct a picture in his mind. Now Zhang Yingchen suddenly understands that for him, this picture is too real and too vivid. As the chief of staff, Zhang Yingchen first had to construct a very simple model in his mind, which was not three-dimensional, but just a simple plane. Regardless of the topography, the march was completely reduced to a model composed of lines and moving points.

After establishing such a simple model, Zhang Yingchen suddenly became enlightened. The things that originally bothered him have now become extremely simple, and it is Zhang Yingchen who thinks things too complicated. No matter how our army or the enemy moves, a qiē movement has an origin on this map. Zhang Yingchen has now found his own cognition of the origin.

The staff officers around him are far inferior to Zhang Yingchen's talent, and it is already very difficult for them to construct a picture of movement in their minds, let alone simplify from complex. After listening to Zhang Yingchen's experience for a while, the staff officers seemed to understand. And Zhang Yingchen's perception was not practical for them, the work was urgent, and everyone went back to their places and began to gnaw on bamboo sticks and continue to try to solve the problem.

After the battle plan drawn up by the General Staff finally reached the various units, the units also felt a headache. The battle plan is quite detailed, where to come from, what road to take, and even what steps to march, the degree of march, this qiē is reflected in the battle plan.

Wei Ze supplemented the cultural knowledge of the troops, and one of the key points was simplified Chinese and vernacular. The main point of classical Chinese is that almost every word has its own independent meaning, and the key point of learning classical Chinese is to know how to organize these meanings reasonably. The vernacular text is more standardized, and Wei Ze believes that the vernacular text is a tool, according to the subject-verb-object-subordinate model, a series of nouns with clear meanings are concatenated, and the steps to be completed in detail are pointed out. From a literary point of view, there is nothing subtle about Weeser's approach. It has nothing to do with the subtle words and righteousness, and what is lifelike. But Weser is quite proud to believe that this is the basis of the new world he wants to create. In the Taiping Army, where the literacy rate was less than 10%, Wei Ze wanted everyone to be able to write. The ability to read and write official commands, and the ability to communicate through words is the progress of the times.

Of course, two months could not complete Weese's grand blueprint, and at least a small number of commanders who had mastered 3oo to 5oo words finally began to approach Weeser's standard. After reading the battle plan that the staff had painstakingly written, the officers below began to scratch their heads.

The road of marching relied on the mode of guidance, and each unit had a special guide for the march. Many of the commanders still can't read the map, the map is more precious, and no one can scribble on it, so many road names on the simple map made by Zhang Yingchen before the war are incomprehensible. It's not that the cultural instructors of the army didn't teach, but that everyone didn't have a concept and couldn't remember.

In these years, there were no clocks and watches, and it was impossible to train the frequency of marching troops in two months, and without this foundation, the degree of marching became empty talk. The four brigade commanders in Weeser's unit agreed that the staff was talking nonsense.

Weeser put forward the organizational concept of "three determinations". Determine the position, the establishment, and the responsibility. Under such a clear system, the efficiency of the work in the army has been greatly improved.

As the commander of the most elite First Brigade, Wei Changrong also served as the task of combat training. Unlike Wei Ze's vicious and accurate marksmanship, which takes some talent to practice, Wei Changrong's marksmanship is simple and straightforward, and it is used roughly, which is most suitable for inexperienced warriors to master quickly.

Hu Chenghe, the commander of the Second Brigade, most of his subordinates were from the Heaven and Earth Society, and he also served as the liaison with the local Heaven and Earth Society. The actual command was basically carried out by his deputy, Zhou Shengde.

Lin Asheng, the commander of the Third Brigade, is mainly in charge of logistics.

The Fourth Brigade is an exclusively female unit, and combat training is under the unified command of the Combat Training Service. Ke Gongyu became the brigade commander of this brigade and had four pawns under his command. The first two pawns were a fully loaded musket team, and the last two pawns were basically old and weak, mainly responsible for cooking and washing clothes.

Except for Ke Gongyu, who was laughed at as a well-intentioned commander of a bunch of women as an old man, the other commanders were all well-known figures in Wei Ze's army. Even Ke Gongyu, a man in his thirties, has something unique, Ke Gongyu's appearance and temperament give people a very reassuring feeling, if someone else is the brigade commander of this female unit, everyone will inevitably talk about it, Ke Gongyu became a brigade commander, everyone laughed at most that he led a group of women, but no one ever considered the peach aspect.

Although the four brigade commanders were able to command their troops very effectively, none of the brigades had established a staff department. After a large number of recruits joined, the primary training could not be completed, and many advanced courses were only heard of, like the standard marching degree, even the veterans had not been trained a few times, let alone the recruits.

Therefore, Zhang Yingchen worked hard to formulate the battle plan according to the standards, which was unanimously opposed by the entire army. The lawsuit went to Weizer.

In the face of the unanimous criticism and opposition of the comrades, Zhang Yingchen, who was not so easy to convince himself, was rarely shut up this time. His level of understanding has risen greatly, and he has figured out a lot of things that he didn't understand before, and in this happy mood, Zhang Yingchen came up with this battle plan according to his own ideas in accordance with the many regulations compiled by Wei Ze. When the excitement subsided a little, Zhang Yingchen also knew that this plan was rather nonsense.

Wei Ze did not criticize Zhang Yingchen, nor did he criticize the brigade commanders' agitated attitude. He waited for his voice to fall slightly, and then asked, "Do you think you can't do what is stipulated in this battle plan, or do you not understand this battle plan?" ”

After asking these questions, several brigade commanders immediately shut up for the time being. Wei Changrong was the most straightforward, he was silent for only a moment before he spoke: "Wei Checkpoint, this plan was also discussed by all of us. To do it, naturally, you have to do it. It's just that this military training has just begun, and many places can't do it in such detail. ”

Wei Changrong expressed his position, and the other three brigade commanders also expressed such thoughts. Wei Ze smiled: "You can do as much as you can." The members of our Central Military Commission determine the operational strategy, and the General Staff draws up the operational plan. Each unit is responsible for carrying it out, and if everyone thinks that Chief of Staff Zhang's plan violates the operational strategy, if not, then it is a matter for everyone to carry it out. ”

Seeing that Wei Ze's attitude was so clear, the front-line commanders in the military committee finally let go of the accusations against Zhang Yingchen and began to think about how to implement this seemingly cloudy military plan.
