Chapter 108: Post-War Summary
"Brother Forget, do you really plan to return so many good irons to the Jin family? It's a shame. Aunt Xiu asked.
As the director of the Logistics Department, she knows that Qinjia Village lacks everything, and iron is even more scarce. Not to mention weapons, even the iron pots and kitchen knives used in daily life are not ready. Now there are five or six families sharing a kitchen knife and an iron pot, and other farm tools are also scarce, especially on Yang Da's side, cutting trees and clearing wasteland, which is labor-intensive, and also makes the tools damage very fast. And as the labor force gradually becomes richer, these tools are even more scarce.
"Aunt Xiu, that's no way. The first thing we need in Qinjia Village is food, and everything else can be leaned back. What's more, we can't eat 500,000 catties of pig iron, and we have offended too many people. Qin Forget smiled bitterly and explained to Aunt Xiu. But let's not be too honest, it's a pity that so much pig iron is put there, and it doesn't keep some for our own use. Aunt Xiu, turn around and leave 10,000 catties to hide for later use. ”
"Okay." Aunt Xiu happily agreed, "Then can we deduct some livestock or something?" Those horses and carts, it's really good. ”
Qin Forget smiled dumbly, "In this way, detain fifty carts and a hundred heavy pack horses, and those injured pack horses and damaged carts don't have to be polite." When the Jin family came, they said that it was damaged in the battle. ”
At this time, Aunt Xiu's eyes narrowed with joy, "This time I won the battle, I asked my subordinates to pack up the dozen or so dead horses, most of them were left for the wounded soldiers, and the rest of us all fought tooth sacrifices." ”
If we count the 100 pack horses and 50 carts this time, excluding the 13 war horses that were captured and did not suffer any damage, Qinjia Village has more than 130 large animals and 60 or 70 carts, and the transportation capacity has risen to a great level. 10,000 catties of pig iron is enough to solve the problem of iron difficulty in Qinjia Village, and the iron tools and farm tools in life are basically prepared for every household.
"I have gathered everyone here today mainly to hear your views on this battle." There wasn't much to discuss civilianly, but Qin Forget still talked about the military.
Everyone around you, you look at me, I look at you, all with a wry smile on their faces, and no one wants to speak first.
Yang Xuan looked at everyone's performance, and also shook his head with a wry smile, "Boss, we played extremely badly this time. ”
Qin Wangyi raised his eyebrows, "Oh, Yang Xuan, talk about it carefully." And you guys, what do you have to say? I don't mean to blame you when I ask this, I just hope that you will learn to reflect and summarize, only in this way can you not make the mistakes you have made, and only in this way can you make progress. You all have to speak later, Yang Xuan is the first to start. ”
Yang Xuan sorted out his language slightly, "First of all, it's the mistake on the request." Yang Xuan glanced at Liu Meng, who provided this information, "Brother Liu, I don't blame you, I mean we need a real intelligence department." This time, our information was really inaccurate, and we rushed to do it without understanding the situation, and the result was to grab a hot potato and come back. ”
Hearing Yang Xuan say this, Liu Meng's old face turned red, and he quickly stood up to make amends, "I'm sorry brothers, this time it's really my brother I made a mistake."
, you shouldn't trust others, and everyone will be busy in vain. ”
Qin Wu waved his hand to stop him, "Lao Liu, I don't blame you, it's that I didn't notice the importance of intelligence at all before. Besides, what the Jin family did this time was too easy to confuse others, what did they think in the year of the catastrophe? Cover pig iron with grain, aren't you afraid of disaster victims robbing? ”
As soon as Qin Forget finished saying these joking words, everyone chuckled, the atmosphere eased a lot, and Liu Meng also sat down with gratitude on his face.
"The second is the problem of our village soldiers, they have indeed trained for two years, and they seem to be very tough, but this time they performed very badly. Not only is it inferior to the other side in morale, but it is also inferior to the other side in terms of combat skills. I carefully observed the corpses of the two sides that were killed, most of our brothers were killed by the caravan guards, and the deaths of the caravan guards were very miserable, either they were dismembered by random knives, or they were stoned to death by young men with big axes or the like, and few were hit by a knife, which shows that our soldiers have too little experience in actual combat. I am also not calm enough when fighting. Yang Xuan sternly glanced at the five teams, and Ding Chen and the others who were watching lowered their heads.
"But it's not their fault, recruits are recruits, and this performance is expected." Yang Xuan didn't want to be too harsh on his brothers, and said truthfully at the moment, "The other thing is the problem of equipment, the equipment on the other side is really good, we have suffered a big loss." If we had the same equipment as them, we could have lost at least half of our men, because our strategy was perfect. It is also because of the problem of equipment that we are unable to form an effective containment of the twelve horsemen in Jinsen. To break through the cavalry, not only the courage of the soldiers, but also the equipment, heavy guns, large shields, crossbow machines, bows and arrows are all indispensable. It is really not advisable to use pikemen to deal with cavalry, especially ironclad cavalry, purely with pikemen, and this time the 12 cavalry of Jinsen will make our fifteen platoon pikemen a mess. ”
"Gone?" Seeing that Yang Xuan was no longer talking, Qin Forget asked.
"That's all I can think of for now." Yang Xuan looked at Qin Forget a little uneasily, not knowing what Qin Forget was not satisfied with.
"Ding Chen, you say." Qin forgot to call Ding Chen's name.
"Commander Yang has said most of the problems, and what I want to say is that our soldiers lack a kind of qi." Ding Chen stood up and said what he thought.
"Gas? What gas? Qin Forget asked with interest.
"A kind of indomitable, unending spirit." Ding Chen explained very seriously.
"Poof!" Su Dingnan next to him couldn't help laughing, "Nonsense, that kind of qi is the soul of the army, the soul of an army, and the unique temperament of an army." Our Qinjia Village has just been formed, and the battle has only been fought for the first time, so naturally there is none. Su Dingnan laughed at Ding Chen mercilessly.
Ding Chen blushed, glared at Su Dingnan fiercely and sat down.
Looking at these two enemies who didn't deal with each other, Qin Wangqiang couldn't help but smile, "Then Dingnan, you say, how can we cultivate our own military soul." ”
"It's simple, let them know what they're fighting for!" Su Dingnan glanced at Ding Chen proudly, "Although I told my soldiers when I was about to fight."
Why do soldiers go to fight? It is to stop starving, to survive, and it does play a certain role. But this is not enough, this idea has not yet penetrated into their bone marrow. If one day, when they pick up their swords and know what they are fighting for, then this army will still be victorious, no matter how poorly equipped and soulful it is. This is to be promoted, every day to publicize, endless propaganda, so that they are full of hope when they are poor, and do not forget their original intention when they are rich, and they will naturally remember it after a long time. ”
"Well said! That is why each army has its own military song and flag. Our Qinjia Village is not suitable to have its own flag and name for the time being, but we can't slack off in this regard. Wang Wen, you can arrange this, so that your brothers always remember that if you don't fight, you won't win, you can only starve to death! Qin Forget smashed his fist, praised Su Dingnan's words very much, and instructed Wang Wen to do it.
"Yes!" Wang Wen stood up and agreed.
"Actually, I am not satisfied with the performance of the village soldiers this time. At many critical moments, Yang Da took the young man to make meritorious contributions. Qin Forget looked at Yang Da with admiration in his eyes, "Last time in Dulong Peak and this time, the young men led by Yang Da performed very well, and even turned the tide. Yang Xuan, your brother is no worse than you, an old military brother. Qin Forget didn't forget to make fun of Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan was both happy and ashamed, and could only smile awkwardly.
Yang Da is also, this simple man who can only farm is the first to be recognized and appreciated by others, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
"In fact, against the enemy in armor, it is still easy to use heavy weapons such as axes and sledgehammers. Yang Da, you don't want to farm anymore, you select two hundred strong and healthy brothers from the original ones who cut down trees and reclaimed wasteland, and train them well. Weapons, for the time being, it's the big axe in your hand, and then one person with three small axes, that thing is easy to use as a flying axe. For the time being, it is still stationed in the monkey's nest, and now you will lead the troops specially, and it will be called the Flying Axe Team. ”
As soon as Qin Wang's words were finished, everyone shouted in surprise, Flying Axe Team, this is the first team with its own name among the soldiers in Qinjia Village, or is it a team that has not been established, such an honor is actually given to Yang Da such a guy.
At the moment, everyone was envious and ashamed, thinking about their dignified village soldiers, they were actually compared to a group of young people. Everyone is ruthless in their hearts, and they must train hard when they go back, and strive to earn a team name for themselves as soon as possible.
Yang Xuan was very happy for his eldest brother in his heart, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother who had been honest all his life was actually stronger than himself. Only Yang Da seemed to have been hit by a pie falling from the sky, and he was stunned on the spot for a while.
Qin Wang, the performance of everyone present, saw it in his eyes, and he deliberately promoted Yang Da. First, several great achievements, Yang Da is indeed worthy of praise. Second, Qin Forget realized that Qinjia Village really needed a new class of soldiers who specialized in armor. The third is to set an example and spur these subordinates.
"After everyone goes back, make up the soldiers as soon as possible, we have offended the Jin family again, and we urgently need to strengthen our strength to protect ourselves." Qin forgot to put an end to this meeting.
