"Oh? Is it as straightforward as that? Ye Fu asked rhetorically.

Trinidad laughed: "Naturally not! However, we have our solution, and please rest assured that it is. In short, we'll let you see the results you expect, and at the same time, you won't be embarrassed. ”

"That's good." Ye Fu smiled and nodded, also stood up, and said to Ma Denglong, "Arrange for Mr. Trinidad and them to rest, dinner is prepared more sumptuously, and I will accompany the gentlemen to dinner." In addition, you should go to Wang Shi now, and tell him that you should take a part of the profits of the merchant house, and give this year's remuneration to Mr. Trinidad and them first, and do not delay. ”

"Yes, obedience." Ma Denglong agreed, stretched out his hand to Trinidad and said, "Sir, please." ”

Trinidad smiled at Ma Denglong, turned around and bowed to Ye Fu, and only after receiving the signal did he leave with Ma Denglong.

Facing the other party's back, Ye Fu breathed a long sigh of relief.

In Ye Fu's army, there are a group of foreigners who point fingers every day. And the appearance of these people soon caused all kinds of dissatisfaction among Ye Fu's subordinates.

The initial contradiction appeared in the re-change of the organization and weapons.

You must know that Ye Fu's subordinates have not been reorganized for a long time, and the new establishment has just adapted to it. Weapons are not something that can be changed overnight. It's going to be changed again, and it's still a big change, which makes it a little unacceptable to anyone.

But what Ye Fu is determined to support is not something that the people below can object to at will. Therefore, this evil fire has been suppressed in everyone's hearts and has not erupted for the time being.

And the final outbreak of these fires was more than three months later.

It was October, and the autumn was crisp, and an application submitted by the advisory group completely pierced the hornet's nest.

~~

"My lord! You can't let them do it anymore! ”

In the second hall, in Ye Fu's signing room, Xu Gaozhuo rarely shouted directly at Ye Fu so angrily, which made Ye Fu stunned.

He put down the pen in his hand, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Gaozhuo didn't answer, and stared at Trinida, the head of the military advisory group, who was standing on the other side of Ye Fu's desk. It seems that if Ye Fu was not here, he would have been eager to pounce on him and tear this guy alive.

Ye Fu glanced at Trinida, thought back to his recent proposal, and understood Xu Gaozhuo's intention.

You must know that since the establishment of the Martial Arts School, it has been Xu Gaozhuo's top friend.

At that time, Geng Zhongming wanted to pick someone from among them, and he came to have a big fight with Ye Fu, and at this time, Trinidad had just proposed to let the first batch of cadets graduate early, so of course he came over to oppose it again.

Ye Fu was a little helpless, and said to Xu Gaozhuo: "The matter of learning soldiers is what I mean~~"

"Your Excellency!" Xu Gaozhuo was so emotional that he didn't want to listen to Ye Fu's explanation at all, he said, "Don't excuse these people anymore!" According to the students, they don't have any good intentions! The students of the martial arts hall are the cornerstone of the army for adults, and the course arrangements are orderly, how can you say that you will graduate after graduation! ”

Trinidad has good Chinese, and immediately understood that Xu Gaozhuo was coming at him, and stood up and said: "This gentleman, you are afraid that you have misunderstood." Under this reintegration programme, we lack a large number of junior officers. So~~"

"Anyway, you can't move!" Xu Gaozhuo began to yell at Ye Fudu, and he was even less good-tempered with Trinidad. Not scolding is already a manifestation of his cultivation as a literati, and if Trinidad dares to say more than half a word, he is afraid that he will have to do it.

When Ye Fu saw it, he hurriedly pulled the fight, "Okay, okay, what kind of system is it to be noisy?" Say less! ”

Xu Gaozhuo and Trinidad had to shut up, but the atmosphere between the two was still tense.

Ye Fu said to Xu Gaozhuo: "The reorganization plan this time has been passed to the camp office, has Mr. Xu seen it?" Do you have any ideas for new solutions, i.e., those that will be used for a long time? ”

In fact, the new restructuring programme only sounds like a lot of change, but in practice it has not changed too much. Originally, Xu Gaozhuo didn't have much opinion on this. If it weren't for Trinidad to use the army, he would have done what Trinidad wanted.

What's more, he also knew that for the sake of this reorganization, Ye Fu had made a bloody investment. The money has been spent, and it is impossible for anyone to persuade him.

Among them, the biggest change is the renewal of armaments at the grassroots level.

Originally, the equipment in the squad was relatively primitive, but this time it was rectified, but advanced Western flintlock pistols were introduced. The squad consisted of thirteen men, including the captain, of which nine infantrymen were all equipped with newly introduced flintlock muskets, while the remaining four were gunners, carrying light small cannons.

There are still sentry posts above the team, including the sentry headquarters, three squads, and an eight-man artillery team equipped with two light cannons. A battalion was set up above the outpost, including a battalion headquarters, three outposts, and a twelve-man artillery team equipped with two Franco.

As a result, updating equipment and teaching soldiers to use new equipment is a great challenge for the junior officers below.

But if this is all there is to it, it should only be the lower-level officers who oppose it, but in fact, although there are still brigades above the middle battalion level in the new establishment, the change at the brigade level is the largest, and it is also the largest shortage.

One of the most obvious differences is that in addition to the 10 battalions directly under the brigade, there are also many other units with different functions.

Each brigade has a brigade headquarters, of which the officers include: one member of the commander, one member of the deputy commander, one member of the battalion supervisor, one member of the chief instructor and training, and there are subordinate departments such as the battalion supervision office, the teaching and training office, the clerical office, the military medical office, the food and salary office, the ordnance department, the military justice office, and the brigade guard.

At the same time, it is equipped with a civilian team responsible for transportation and gang leaders, an artillery team equipped with eight large-caliber Franc cannons, a herald team, and a battlefield ambulance team. In addition, there is also a cavalry reconnaissance battalion of 200 people directly under it, and an engineering battalion of the same 200 people.

Such a change, with the cooperation of multiple arms, was made by Trinidad after carefully studying the various types of equipment purchased by Ye Fu today, and then proposing improvements in light of the existing war situation.

In this way, it is indeed necessary for a large number of outstanding grassroots personnel to be immediately replenished into the troops.

can let the students of the martial arts academy graduate early, but this is unacceptable to Xu Gaozhuo.

It's hard~~

Ye Fu had to follow Trinida's advice in this matter, but he didn't want to leave a pimple here in Xu Gaozhuo, and for a while, he was stumped.

After pondering for a long time, suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "That's it, it's not that this batch of cadets must graduate early. I said that I will graduate in February next year, and the duration of my study will be one year. At this stage, there are still more than four months left. I suggest that theory and practice be combined, and that in the near future, we should organize and send cadets to various grass-roots posts for a four-month internship. During this time, they remained cadets. The specific details of the internship will be arranged by the school and the advisory group. Here in the school, Mr. Xu, you will take the lead. On the advisory side, Mr. Trinidad, I'll leave it to you. ”
