Chapter XXXVII
After the education of later generations, Ning Yu naturally understood that if he only had near-modern weapons, but did not have near-modern military organizational capabilities, then his combat capability would not be much higher.
Therefore, in view of the current development of the Eagle Battalion, Ning Yu chose to divide all the current cadets into four companies, with the company as the basic combat unit, each company has a chief and deputy company commander, an instructor, and two snare drummers, while children under the age of 10 are the boy company, about 100 people, and teenagers under the age of 14 are the reserve company. Only the remaining 200 cadets over the age of 14 formed a formal company, the first company and the second company.
In addition, in view of artillery construction, Ning Yu plans to form an artillery company directly under the battalion, consisting of six six-pound guns and two twelve-pound guns.
In Ning Yu's vision, the future Eagle Battalion will become a similar existence to a military academy, from which more troops will continue to be hatched, from companies to battalions, from battalions to regiments to divisions. As for the combat effectiveness of this army, Ning Yu has never been bad, and with this kind of army that has been educated and trained for up to ten hours a day, to deal with the Manchu Green Battalion, which is a five-day drill and a ten-day drill, is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
As for the Eight Banners Force, Ning Yu has never been worried, because there is nothing at all, why worry?
In Ning Yu's plan, in the next six months to one year, the two combat companies in the Eagle Battalion will be expanded to the size of a full battalion, that is, about 550 people, and four infantry companies will be set up, each with about 120 people, and then add an artillery company of about 50 people, a logistics squad of about 10 people, and the remaining personnel will be the commanders in the battalion.
Such a comprehensive infantry battalion has no problem dealing with 3,000 Qing soldiers, and the infantry regiment composed of five such infantry battalions, Ning Yu believes that it will be able to defeat Wuchang, and the infantry division composed of three infantry regiments will not be difficult to defeat Hubei.
At this point, Ning Yu feels that his little bit of operation has finally achieved results, although it is only in the bud at present, but the future is very promising.
A few days later, Ning Yu came to Hanyang City again, and he was determined to deal with the current situation and follow his teacher Cui Wan. From the very beginning, Ning Yu knew that this teacher had hidden deep dissatisfaction with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the last conversation exposed his thoughts even more nakedly: Good apprentice, the master supports your great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Ning Yu never suspected that Cui Wancai would leak secrets or even sue him, but he just couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. In order to ensure peace of mind, Ning Yu made a special trip to force the palace to come, firstly, to completely put Cui Wancai on the thief ship, and secondly, to better ask the other party what to do in the future.
Cui Wancai didn't seem to be surprised by Ning Yu's arrival at all, and he still prepared the camellia and the piano sounded long.
Ning Yu was very dissatisfied, this old man always got a tune to play the piano, but he never really introduced it to him, it was too old-fashioned.
In fact, this wronged Cui Wancai, because it was not that Cui Wancai did not arrange for Cui Xi to see him, but that Cui Ji herself was unwilling to come out to see him now, she needed to investigate, and she, the future husband, could not afford her trust.
Yes, in Cui Wancai and Cui Xi's opinion, Cui Xi was designated to marry Ning Yu in the future, and as for other factors, they never considered it, or they didn't need to consider it.
Ning Yu held the tea and looked at Cui Wancai face to face, and had a lot of things to say in his heart, but when it came to the end, he didn't know where to start. Because whatever he does is too bizarre in this day and age.
Cui Wancai spoke first: "Looking at you like this, it is very different from when I first saw you. ”
Ning Yu looked at this teacher curiously, and said in his heart, will he still look at his face? That's a lot of knowledge.
"I wonder what's changed? Please also ask the teacher to give advice! No matter how much slander he felt in his heart, Ning Yu never let go of the etiquette on his face.
Cui Wancai smiled: "Now I see that there is a lot less depression between your eyebrows, but a little more free." If you have heard the teachings of the previous two times, then this time you will have more confidence as a teacher, and you can continue to speak deeply. ”
Ning Yu hurriedly said: "Please also ask the teacher to teach." ”
Cui Wancai blew off the floating leaves on the tea surface and said with a smile: "What I said earlier is potential, but it is not enough to have potential, you also need to have skills." ”
The words were light and light, but Ning Yu felt the power of Wan Jun, and the sound of the piano at this time was slightly faster.
"This remark is not a Legalist's magic power, but you don't want to think nonsense. The so-called imperial technique, in the end, also falls on the technique, and only when the technique is completed can it be long. ”
After listening to Ning Yu's heart, this is finally about the meat.
"The rule of China can be divided into two major stages, the first major stage, starting from the pre-Qin period, and finally the Wei and Jin dynasties, throughout the entire Han Dynasty, the so-called central idea is the outer Confucianism and the internal law. However, when the momentum was exhausted, it declined, and finally fell apart, and then it led to the disaster of five nonsense. ”
"The second big stage, starting from the Sui and Tang dynasties, has not really ended until today, and now there has been a big change in the external Confucianism and internal law, especially since the Qing Dynasty, the prosperity of the emperor's authority can be described as unprecedented, this is because the Manchu emperor saw through the essence of Confucianism, and he no longer made it for it, which is the foundation of imperial art, jumping out of Confucianism, and becoming a family of its own."
These words were hearty and hearty, and they went to the bone.
Cui Wancai sighed again: "If you want to jump out of the circle of Confucianism, you need to come up with something that is cohesive enough, otherwise it will only make the huge country fall apart, so the emperors since the Sui and Tang dynasties, no matter how genius they are, are difficult to completely get rid of the restrictions of Confucianism, but in this way, the country can be unified, but it can't really last long." ”
"Even with the talent of Emperor Hongwu, he formulated a law for the people, pinned on the household registration system and the health system, and wanted to achieve long-term peace and stability, but the people died and the world was even more unpredictable, and it fell apart in just two hundred years. This is the power and importance of Confucianism, if there is no strong sustenance, it will not last long. ”
Ning Yu pondered for a while and said, "If you wait until the future, this Manchu trend may last for a long time?" ”
Cui Wancai chuckled: "Although the Manchu Emperor has achieved great achievements in imperial art, he is naturally limited by his own identity, and can only maintain his rule through the art of Shang Jun, but once it is invincible to the outside world, even if it lasts for a long time, it will eventually perish." ”
Ning Yu recalled the history of later generations, and was all guessed by this teacher, and the admiration in his heart was even more.
