Chapter 214: Going out to practice
Moreover, Li Ran is not untargeted, and there are models for both ideas to refer to...... The former was the Napoleonic Guards during the French Revolution, while the latter was a foot soldier in the Great Song Dynasty.
There are not too many soldiers for both kinds, more than 10,000 people are enough, and they are mainly used for foreign operations and dealing with sudden rebellions in various places.
As for the maintenance of law and order in peacetime, ordinary soldiers are fine.
"Then, what about Feng Changqing?" , Pei Min could only keep the question in his heart, Li Ran didn't say it, he didn't ask.
"He also has a very important task...... Don't you think that the cavalry and foot soldiers are a little monotonous? ”
Li Ran smiled, "Datang, you need a professional navy...... Not only can you walk on the river, but you can even go to sea! ”
Pei Min was stunned for a moment, this out-of-the-box thinking was worthy of being a Tang Dynasty Immortal Master.
He can still understand the navy, after all, as early as when Wu Yue was fighting for hegemony, there was a saying of fighting boats, and during the Three Kingdoms period, the Sun family relied on the ship to conquer Yizhou.
But the Navy ...... What the hell?
For a ranger who grew up in Biansai and traveled through most of the Tang Dynasty, the sea is too unfamiliar.
"Look at your ignorant eyes, under Baekje Silla, there is the sea, and there is a thing called Wa Kingdom in the east, if we don't develop some navy, we can't clean them up in the future."
As a traverser, Li Ran certainly knew the meaning of a century-old navy.
Hundreds of years later, it is precisely because of the loss of sea control that the Chinese civilization almost came to a halving, and now it is necessary to do something to take precautions.
"Let's go, let's go...... Return to Liangzhou. ”
Li Ran got into the carriage and posed as Ge You lying down.
"Don't be in a hurry, go slowly, and check the factories and tax bureaus around the country along the way, after all, this is our work on the surface, and we should also use dim sum."
Pei Min nodded and praised his hard-working attitude...... Although he instinctively felt that Li Ran wanted to fake the public and help himself.
He clearly heard that when he was leaving, the Tang Dynasty immortal master said to his little daughter-in-law that he would scrape a sum of oil and water to make up for the debt to his family caused by going out on official business.
All the way to the west, the first stop, Chang'an.
In fact, there is nothing to be desired, but it is just a routine walk around the factory, instructing the operation of the workers, and then going to the tax bureau to fight the autumn breeze.
Then the money fell into his pocket.
What, where did the silver come from?
Filial piety, of course...... Most of these factory managers and tax bureau officials have been replaced by professionals elected from the working class, and no matter how poor they are, they are all from trade unions, and they are not all their own disciples.
Besides, the training courses held in Luoyang City are not a joke.
Li Ran's level in the working class is that of the godfather level...... Proper peach and plum all over the world.
So, it's normal to have a meal, mentor the former apprentices again, and then accept their gifts with peace of mind.
Who dares to say that the master pretends to accept bribes for private purposes, beware of the master taking a shot from the head to "justice from heaven".
Soon, Pei Min became numb to see it, and he didn't even have much interest in Li Ran putting away his belongings by himself.
After all, he just audited the accounts or something...... After attracting enough eyeballs in Chang'an, he finally set off and went straight to the outside of the country.
Liangzhou City.
To be exact, it is a barren land in Baiyuli outside Liangzhou City.
"The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and my heart is uneven. Yazhang resigned from the phoenix, the iron rode around the dragon city, the snow withered the flag painting, and the wind was mixed with the sound of drums. Rather be a centurion than a scholar...... You say, is this poem beautifully written? ”
Standing on the earthen wall of the Victory Fort, Li Ran looked at the sweaty cavalry outside the fort, and was in a happy mood.
Pei Min looked helpless...... For Li Ran, who is full of poetry, he has no temper.
As a ranger, of course he knew the meaning of Yang Jiong's military march, which described a war in the ninth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.
In that year, Tuyuhun disturbed Liangzhou, Tang Taizong Li Shimin was furious, determined to conquer Tuyuhun on a large scale, appointed the famous general Li Jing as the general manager of the Xihai Road march, and commanded Hou Junji, Li Daozong, Li Daliang, Li Daoyan, Gao Yongsheng and other people and horses, set off in the cold winter and the moon, all the way on the ice and snow, sleeping in the open air, and preparing for hardships. In leap April of the following year, the Tang Dynasty fought with Tuyuhun in Kushan and won the first battle. Next, Li Jingli disagreed with the public, divided the army into two roads, divided into two encirclements, and won several battles in Mantou Mountain, Niuxindui, Chishuiyuan and other places, and forced to the end through the source of Jishi Mountain and River, because there was no water in the desert, the soldiers all drank blood from horses, and finally caught up with the remnants of the thieves, attacked their tooth tents, annihilated thousands of people, and captured many people. Since then, the remnants of Tuyuhun have returned to the Tang Dynasty and become a subject country.
In this battle, the Tang Dynasty soldiers fought thousands of miles, killing tens of thousands of enemies, and their prestige was unrivaled for a while.
However, does this have a dime to do with the current military training?
"Immortal Master, according to your instructions, I divided the selected team into ten groups, each group is about a thousand people, called the regiment, each regiment has three battalions, and each battalion has three companies, this kind of organization seems to be more like an arm command than the current military rank, and the position of political commissar is really wonderful."
Of course, the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Compared with Wang Zhongsi, a full-time general, Pei Min's half-irrigated amateur has a little worse eyesight.
In less than two months, he has grasped the main points of the training of the new army.
Two words, innovation!
From concept to tactics to all-round innovation of training mode...... The effect seems to be very good, and the cooperation that can be seen by the naked eye can be obtained, and if you fight with traditional rangers, you can at least achieve 28 open.
So Li Ran gave Wang Zhongsi another gift.
Improved flintlock pistol!
Thanks to the progress of factories in various places, it has reached a level that can produce firing pin rifles, and there is no reason not to use such good goods.
It's a pity that the production capacity of handicraft products is not high, and in order to maintain accuracy, Li Ran only carefully selected a hundred.
However, these 100 are enough to play tricks.
"General Wang, the brothers have been practicing for so long, it's time to pull them out for actual combat, right, it's not too boring."
Li Ran smiled like a little devil, and waved his finger on the military map, focusing on an area.
"Dafeichuan! Could it be that you want to ...... immortal master"
Wang Zhongsi suddenly raised his eyebrows, in that land, the only people who can be called the opponents of the Tang Dynasty are the Tubo people!
"Otherwise, last time I was given by Wu Sansi, the Tubo people invaded the hinterland of our Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately stealing chickens and rice, not only did not get any benefits, but also lost the Qinling, and finally stopped for two years."
Li Ran smiled, and suddenly changed his words, "However, we are victims, right, as victims, if we don't get the field back, how can we be worthy of the brothers who lost in the first battle of Liangzhou City!" ”
"Yes, my lord is very right!"
Wang Zhongsi suddenly became excited, he was a witness who had personally experienced the battle of Liangzhou City.
It's just that he quickly calmed down again, frowned, and said, "But my lord, at the moment, we have no reason to take the initiative to attack Tubo." ”
"What, the reason? No, no, no, when did I say that I was going to attack Tibet, it could easily cause international disputes. ”
Li Ran continued to laugh, like an old fox, "However, if they take the initiative to provoke us, then they are justifying self-defense, right?" You might as well imagine that a caravan entered the territory of Dafeichuan, because the goods carried were too valuable, so that they were targeted by the Tibetans, they exercised banditry, but they were very unlucky, and were killed by the caravan, is it not justified at all? ”
Wang Zhongsi gasped, somewhat understanding his train of thought.
