Chapter 459: Xiang Gong calms his anger
"Student Lu Huiqing, I have seen my teacher."
Lao Lu is still so exaggerated, when Wang Yan entered the county office, he immediately came over to salute him, and sat down affectionately holding hands.
It is foreseeable that in the future, when Wang Yan worships the prime minister, he will be called "Enxiang", which will become a situation of sitting between those traitorous ministers in history.
Before Wang Anshi and Wang Yan were cold, he would always call him a teacher. If there is a change, such as Wang Anshi is cold, and for example, the person who Queen Cao likes has ascended the throne, it is predictable that this turtle son will start jumping because it is difficult to say.
Of course, none of that matters now.
Sitting down, it can be easier to talk to him, Wang Yan cut in directly: "Lu Huiqing, don't think about it, I'm not here to find fault with you this time." You know the situation in the Hehuang area, and I know it well, there is no reason to withdraw the army now, I came here to receive a secret order from Prime Minister Han Qi, so I put down the matter of the Industrial Bureau and went west to standby, and I may be pulled to the front line at any time. ”
Lu Huiqing is smarter than anyone else, she knew that he was coming, and it has been a few days since Weifu made a private visit, and she also knew his intention.
Originally, he should have cried bitterly and said that he couldn't go to the front line in danger, but now that he heard that it was Han Qi's secret order, Lao Lu hugged his fists and said: "In this case, there should be no turnaround, and the students wish Xianggong a victory." We will not slack off in carrying out your and Han Qigong's instructions, and if you have any instructions, say them now, and the students will prepare immediately. ”
"I believe that." Wang Yan nodded, "Soon, after Han Qi's coordination, the Northwest Transfer Division will delegate some authority to Funing County, and concentrate some grain in Funing County." Hedong also has the capacity to compress military rations, but the efficiency is too low and the distance is too far. In my vision, there are no good supply lines for the time being, and military rations must be compressed under the difficulty of transportation. Therefore, you Funing County need to take on the task of producing compressed military rations. ”
"Of course it's no problem, manufacturing, thanks to the blessing of Xianggong, the foundation you have laid, now production is not a problem at all, I just hate that there is only one railway now, otherwise it will be more efficient." Lu Huiqing said.
Wang Yan said: "Don't think about what you don't have." The supply from Funing County is also very inefficient, but there is no way, Qinfeng Road is even more backward, thousands of miles of red land, in addition to unstable food, manufacturing and quality are also unstable. Therefore, the military supply of our volunteer army needs to be fully undertaken by Funing County, organize sufficient transportation capacity, and reach the Suide Army through the railway completed in the first phase, and then enter Qinfeng Road through the river to reach the front line of Longxi. Since then, it can no longer be transported by the Yellow River, and the junction between the Great Song Dynasty and the Hehuang region is the Yellow River. From the front line of Longxi, it is necessary to use a new type of transport vehicle from Funing County to bypass by land, and finally take the front line of Gonghe and Huangyuan in the Tubo region to transport military supplies into Xining Prefecture. ”
Lu Huiqing got up, looked at the area map, frowned slightly, and said: "Since the Western Xia army is pressing, the internal tribes of Tubo are likely to move, and taking the Huangyuan line by land is inefficient and risky. Judging from the current situation, the students thought that the Western Xia army would not attack the border of the Yellow River, and it was best to take the waterway. ”
"No, by land." Wang Yan got up and said: "Low efficiency is low efficiency, safety is the most important, there is a certain risk from the Jishi Military District to enter the territory of the Republic, but the Republic and Huangyuan are still in the radiation range of the cavalry in Xining Prefecture, that is to say, there may be casualties, but they can be controlled." In the event of casualties, there is still room for maneuver in the territory of Tibet, and it is not difficult to deal with it. But if we really take the Yellow River water transport, although I also confirm that there is a high probability that it will not be attacked by the Zhuo Luolan Department, I mean, in case whoever slips and loses control, once my Yellow River fleet is attacked by the Western Xia army, it means that my Great Song border is attacked, then war will definitely be declared. ”
After a pause, he said, "In other words, taking the Yellow River water transportation may turn a controlled local war into a complex, multi-fronted all-out national war." I can't accept this, and now Da Song can't afford it, so this is a red line. I'm putting my words here, the volunteer army policy is indeed what I'm promoting, but I just want to fight a controlled local war, who dares to mess around, and now drag the Great Song into a full-scale irregular war, I will make his family regret being a man. ”
Lu Huiqing suddenly sweated, and hurriedly said: "Xianggong is angry, it is indeed the student's inconsiderate thought. The students promised that no matter how great the sacrifice was or how difficult it was, I swore to protect the logistics channel to Xining Prefecture in Funing County. ”
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you." After saying this, the big goose got up and left.
Lu Huiqing bent down to send him off.
However, after taking two steps, Da Yan turned back and said: "By the way, by the way, according to Han Qi's secret order, from this quarter of an hour onwards, the Funing Army will be under my control, and you will no longer be in charge of military affairs." ”
Lu Huiqing hurriedly said: "That's natural. ”
Wang Yan nodded, and turned to leave again.
However, this time he took three steps and turned back, and Lu Huiqing was depressed for a while.
Da Yan pointed to the desk and said, "That's mine, I said I would take it away, but the solid wood is too heavy, and I don't have an army, so I left it, and now return it to me." At that time, I commanded the Battle of Funing County, which was almost lost by you, and now I will take it to Xining Prefecture and command the Battle of Hehuang at this table. ”
Lu Huiqing thinks he is simply a ringing horse, it is a government asset. But after thinking about it, if he really entered Hehuang to command the battle, it would also be the behavior of the Great Song Dynasty's official mansion, let's ...... Fu Ningjun's office utensils.
"The students will take care of it." Having said that, Lao Lu actually likes this rustic, solid, simple, antique and old-fashioned desk, and raised his hand to touch it gently.
"Touch what, it's my concubine." Wang Yan said and left.
Lu Huiqing was so frightened that she retracted her hand, very worried about the discipline of the Great Demon King......
It rained again the next day, but fortunately it didn't rain much.
Very early, Lu Huiqing took the tolerance of the county government and accompanied Wang Yan to the military academy early.
On the school ground, the commander-in-chief Ma Jinxi stood in front, and there were eight integrated battalions lined up in the rear, all of which were second-generation flintlock pistol troops. In addition to this, they wore new cuirass produced in Funing County. It was designed by the Funing County Machinery Factory under the point of view put forward by Dayan.
In addition, the standard military uniform and military cap have also been changed. This is the so-called new army, which needs to be different from other forbidden armies in some details, at that time, armor was one of the most sensitive armaments, and it needed to be approved by Han Qi and Wang Anshi, so Da Yan simply applied for the standard military uniform of the new army and was approved.
Otherwise, the original thing is very inapplicable, the felt hat is exaggerated, big, like a kite, is it blown away by the wind and still has to pick it up? Do you still care about the shade after all the blood and war?
In addition, there are a lot of red backgrounds in the original standard military uniforms, which is not conducive to concealment, too conspicuous, and it is not to go to bullfighting, what kind of system does it look like a red envelope? Based on these considerations, Wang Yan personally designed the current tactical helmet, vest cuirass, and short clothing suitable for concealment in war-based colors.
The criticism is that the old horses feel that both the standard and the color are too earthy. If the battle is won in the future, this army will definitely be embarrassed to enter Bianjing for a military parade, and it will be regarded as a turtle.
Originally, there were some suggestions to build full-body armor or even heavy riding.
However, Wang Yan did not agree, the heavy cavalry did have a special use, but the horse quality of the Song people, as well as the horseman's equestrian skills, always had shortcomings compared with nomadism. Since the flintlock pistol route of long-range strikes has been taken, the hand-to-hand combat in which the Song army participates and can be seen in the future cannot be said to be completely avoided, but it will be greatly reduced.
is still based on kite flying tactics, and then relies on the range advantage of flintlock pistols, which means that there will only be some opponent's bow and arrow threats.
If this tactical idea is combined with too heavy full-body armor, in addition to affecting the flexibility of the sergeant, it also increases the physical exertion and limits the efficiency of cavalry mobility. Therefore, according to the new situation of the war in the future, the Great Goose at that time only asked the machine factory to develop a new helmet and a vest with bows and arrows as the main function.
After getting the main score of protection, combined with some basic skills such as temporary trauma treatment on the battlefield and hemostatic rescue, it should be possible to effectively control battle damage.
When Wang Yan left, the Funing Army was reorganized into seven battalions, but now it has only expanded by one, with eight battalions and 2,000 men. The scale is not large, the reason is that there are not enough war horses, and the investment in raising war horses and training war horses is not low.
