"Although the Xuan army has entered the city and the palace," Liu Baodi said, "but only the so-called 'Guards Regiment' has come in, with a total of only three or four thousand people, and the Shenji Battalion, more than thirty thousand, ten times as much!" ”

King Alcohol perked up, "Not bad! ”

After a moment's hesitation, "But—"

"The prince thinks that Xuan Jun has taken the 'first hand'", Liu Baodi said, "Actually, in the opinion of students, this 'first move' is better not to take it!" ”

"How?"

"Lord Wang, please think about it," Liu Baodi said, "How did they take advantage of their 'first move'?" ”

After a slight pause, "One in the Forbidden City, nine gates in the inner city, Dongzhi, Chaoyang, Chongwen, Zhengyang, Xuanwu, Fucheng, Xizhi, Desheng, Anding, one each, one in the north inner street, what is the 'Songjiang Legion General Grain Table' in the inner street of Chaoyangmen...... The Beijing Office's one, and in addition—"

After another pause, "Lifanyuan Hutong and Xiaosuzhou Hutong have each put one - especially Lifanyuan Hutong, which is heavily guarded, and has caught up with the north street of Chaonei!" ”

"Oh?" King Alcohol pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Lifan Yuan Hutong - not strange!" ”

Speaking of this, he smiled faintly, "There, but the Emperor's 'Hidden Mansion'!" You can't afford to make the slightest mistake! ”

"Yes!" Liu Baodi said, "Let's bend our fingers - these three or four thousand soldiers are divided into thirteen branches, each one, how many soldiers can there be?" That is, the one in the Forbidden City, a little more numerous—but even this one is scattered across the gates and halls of the Forbidden City, and the Forbidden City is so big that it's like pepper noodles! Need to know - the force is weak! ”

King Alcohol's eyes lit up, slapped his thigh, and said, "What Mr. said is extremely true! The strength is weak, and the soldiers are taboo! Guan Yixuan is still leading the troops-ridiculous! ”

Liu Baodi smiled coldly, "The soldiers who lead the soldiers don't know the soldiers, they are everywhere!" Guan Yixuan's fame, in fact, it is difficult to deserve! ”

Although the alcohol king was confused, he didn't think that Guan Zhuofan "didn't know soldiers", he smiled and said: "A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there will be a mistake in the end, not strange, not strange!" ”

"It can also be seen from this," Liu Baodi said, "that the other party did not expect that the prince would make a sharp decision on the 'Qingjun side' - he didn't take corresponding precautions at all!" Our thunderous blow will be fully rewarded! ”

The Alcohol King nodded, "Not bad!" ”

"Also," Liu Baodi twisted his goatee, "these thirteen troops are sprinkled with the entire city of Beijing, southeast, northwest, and central -- the city of Beijing is so big, how do they echo each other when something happens?" said that Guan Yixuan 'doesn't know soldiers', I think, there is nothing wrong with him! ”

This time, although the alcohol king did not open his mouth to praise, he nodded slightly.

"Lord Wang, let's fight one out of ten, fist to finger - each break! Coupled with the surprise and unpreparedness, is there any reason why a major event cannot be done? ”

"Well, that makes sense, that makes sense!"

The Alcohol King nodded repeatedly.

He pondered slightly, "However, the Xuan army is still quite powerful in the end, so we can't be careless." ”

"Lord Wang, please rest assured, if it is a field battle, guns and artillery fire each other, the Xuan army may be able to compete with the Shenji Battalion, but this battle on the 'Qingjun side' is a melee battle and a street battle - Lord Wang, this melee battle and street battle is the director of the Shenji Battalion!"

King Alcohol's eyes lit up again, "Mr. is right!" Melee combat, street fighting - it is indeed the strength of the Divine Machine Battalion! ”

Ladies and gentlemen, please pay special attention to this paragraph - King Alcohol and Liu Baodi, why are they so confident in the melee and street battles of the Shenji Battalion?

As mentioned above, the training method of the Shenji Battalion is extremely strange - the confidence of King Alcohol and Liu Baodi comes from this strange training method.

In the eleventh year of Xianfeng, the Shenji Battalion was created, with a total of eight articles of statute, which were drafted by the seventh brother of the "Zhibing" entrusted by King Gong, the first of which was to require the "skills" such as swords, spears, and rattan cards to be added to the spear carrying team of the forward battalion - which was the first batch of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

King Alcohol thinks, "Once there is skill, that is, everyone is brave, and their spirit is strong."

When Wen Xiang presided over the Shenji Battalion, the training of this "skill" was just "Guwen", and he never took it seriously. In addition to swords and spears, rattan cards, as well as "giant axes", as well as various "unpredictable" "formations" - when the drill is performed, the advance and retreat tend to turn, and it is very good-looking.

As for the bows and arrows that had been completely eliminated by the Hunan army and the Huai army, the Xuan army was not to mention, and it had also become an important training subject for the Shenji battalion.

King Alcohol thinks that this is called "Chinese body and Western use".

That is to say, although the Shenji Battalion is the first army in China to use a new type of foreign guns, not only is its management completely the same as that of the old-style army, that is, training, but it is also sparing no effort to reverse the wheel of history.

King Alcohol prides himself on "knowing soldiers", and "knowing" is actually all the "soldiers" in ancient Chinese military books, and he doesn't know at all from beginning to end, what is modern military affairs?

Speaking of which, it must be said that after Rong Lu entered the Shenji Camp, he voted for the favor of the alcohol king, and went to a revealing post - to a large extent, Rong Zhonghua relied on this revelation to win the appreciation of the alcohol king and soar.

In this unveiling post, King Alcohol played the court in the form of "clips", so Guan Zhuofan was also able to appreciate the strange text.

Rong Lu said, "The way of the husband and the soldier, the whole noble is to fight the short with the long, and the strength is better than the skill." The Yi and others were known for their firearms, and their guns were more sophisticated than those used in China, and now China either bought them from foreign countries or imitated them with their own machines, so that they could not hunt down thieves from the mainland, but they were not enough to confront them, and even if they were made in the same way, they were only equal to them, and the outcome of the decisive battle was not yet known. ”

"Today, it is advisable to follow Qi Jiguang's 'Mandarin Duck Formation' method, select the bigged, strong, and convenient foot soldiers, take ten people as the shed, choose one of the brave among the ten people as the longest, and one person among the ten chiefs as the head of the hundred, and choose one person among the hundred chiefs as the crown of the thousands, and pay them heavily, strictly punish them, reward and punish them with faith, and unite the pawns as one heart, so that they will know that victory will be rewarded, and crimes will be punished, and there is no risk of retreating and dispersing."

After saying such a big round, although there is nothing eye-catching, it is somewhat reasonable, but what should be done after "there is no risk of retreating and dispersing"?

Please pay attention, the play meat is coming:

"Then make him master the rattan spear, the big sword and the great axe, so that he can jump away and stab, and be as swift as a bird, and destroy conflicts, and be as swift as a tiger. If he is in the middle of the battle, he will be caught off guard even if he is afraid of the essence of firearms, and he will be caught off guard by the iron horses, and the firearms will cover the attack from the side, or he can win. ”

That is to say, Rong Lu thinks that foreign guns and foreign cannons, whether they are purchased or imitated, in the final analysis, they are all from foreigners, even if we slip away from other foreigners, we can't slip away from foreigners, so at most, if we are not careful, we will lose the battle.

What to do?

Alas, we have to have our own unique skills, this, foreign guns and foreign cannons, plus our own unique skills, with two to one, foreigners are not our opponents.

This unique job is "rattan spear, big sword and giant axe". Oh, and by the way, there's also the "Iron Rider Ride".

The role of "firearms" is nothing more than "covering up the attack".

Rong Lu's unveiling post greatly praised King Alcohol and became the most important theoretical document of his "Prime Minister's Divine Machine Battalion" - at least one of them.

These all happened after the British and French domestic crimes, and at that time, what "rattan spears, big swords and giant axes", and "iron horses and vertical and horizontal anecdotes" had already been defeated at Bali Bridge.

It's really-

I don't know what to say.

Not only that, this kind of army building thinking, basically ran through the lives of King Alcohol and Rong Lu, when I thought of the supreme military leaders of the late Qing Dynasty, one after the other, they were actually two such figures, alas-

Guan Zhuofan thought at the time, Rong Zhonghua, no wonder your "Wuwei Chinese Army", at the beginning of the army, it was known for its corrupt military discipline and lack of fighting spirit.

Okay, digression again, let's get down to business.

"The Xuan army in the city," said the alcohol king, "we are sure enough, but ...... There is also the Xuan army outside the city. ”

"When the time comes," Liu Baodi said, "as long as the nine gates of the inner city are controlled, and the city gate is closed, what can the Xuan army outside the city do?" ”

"Hmm...... Also. ”

"Besides, even if you add those outside the city, the number of the Xuan army is still not as good as the Shenji Battalion."

"Hmm."

"When the time comes," Liu Baodi said, "Ju Xi will be captured, the prince will go to the top of the city, start reading the edict, and the Xuan army outside the city will naturally ...... Hehe, either look at the wind and surrender, or scatter in a hurry. ”

The alcohol king's heart was hot, "Yes, yes! ”

After a pause, "In Mr.'s opinion, how should this battle of the 'Qingjun side' be arranged?" ”

Liu Baodi stretched out two fingers, "Two - first, capture the thief and capture the king first!" Second, hehe, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! ”

King Alcohol closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he opened his eyes, nodded and said, "I have it!" I've got it! ”

After a pause, "Please sir for details." ”

"Good! Actually, these two things are one thing! ”

"Oh, one thing?"

"The 'King of Thieves' and the 'Son of Heaven' are actually together."

King Alcohol thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "I understand what Mr. means - 'The military plane is called', aren't the two of them together?" ”

Liu Baodi smiled "hehe": "The prince is smart!" ”

After a pause, "Therefore, the most important thing in this battle of 'Qingjun Side' is to take down the Forbidden City in one fell swoop!" ”

King Alcohol's heart pounded: "Hmm! ”

"Every ten days, the Shenji Camp will have a drill, Lord Wang, where is the school field of the Shenji Battalion?"

There are two schools in the Shenji Camp, one is on Wangfujing Street and the other is outside the Xuanwu Gate.

This time, King Alcohol's reaction was relatively fast: "Wangfujing Street!" It's close to the Forbidden City! ”

"Yes, in the name of the exercise, gather the whole battalion, this, will not attract anyone's attention and suspicion-"

The little eyes of the alcohol king let out a light: "Okay, after the assembly, we will go straight to the Forbidden City, capture the 'King of Thieves', and coerce the 'Son of Heaven'!" ”

"The prince is clever!"

The body of the alcohol king leaned back, his right hand formed a fist, and smashed it in his left palm, "If so, the big thing is decided!" ”

"Exactly!"

"I see," King Alcohol said with great interest, "This first skill will be given to Rong Zhonghua's 'Weiyuan Team'!" ”

As mentioned above, the Shenji Battalion is just a loose association, and after the training of its own "own team", each team has to return to its original battalion. After this situation lasted for a long time, up and down, he finally felt that something was wrong, so he pieced together and formed the first "team" of the Shenji Battalion - "Weiyuan Team".

This team, the son of the Shenji Battalion, has the best equipment and the highest salary, and is personally managed by Rong Lu, the number one celebrity under the King of Alcohol. The Shenji Battalion is already "the best of the best", and the "Weiyuan Team" is regarded as the "elite of the elite".

"Okay," Liu Baodi said, "Rong Zhonghua will live up to the high expectations of the prince!" ”

After a pause, "The other two battalion wing commanders, Enlupu is responsible for Lifanyuan Hutong, Xiaosuzhou Hutong, Chaonei North Street, Chaoyangmen Nei Street and Chaoyangmen, and Wenqizhong is responsible for Dongzhi, Chongwen, Zhengyang, Xuanwu, Fucheng, Xizhi, Desheng, Anding and other eight gates, so, after a morning, everything is finished!" ”

King Alcohol seriously thought about the location of the above place, and nodded again and again, "Very appropriate, very appropriate!" ”

After a pause, "The big thing has been accomplished, and Mr. should take the first credit!" ”

"Don't dare," Liu Baodi said modestly, "I'm just a fly attached to the prince's tail." ”

King Alcohol smiled, "When the time comes, Mr. will be a person, Xuan Ma will worship the prime minister, and join the direct military plane, which can be regarded as a good story for the ages." ”

Liu Baodi's eyes flashed, and then he smiled reservedly, lowered his head slightly, and said, "That's all the grace of the prince." ”

"Look," said the Alcohol King, "there is a place in Enlupu and Wenqi, and it should be given a ...... What kind of 'promise' is good? ”

"Grace comes from above," Liu Baodi said solemnly, "how dare students talk nonsense? ”

Grace from above? This tone-

"Hey," the ambitious alcohol king didn't notice anything wrong with these four words, "why don't you talk about it, why don't you talk about it!" ”

"That—" said Liu Baodi, "the students are presumptuous." ”

After a slight pause, "Enlupu has the foundation of a cabinet bachelor, so you can give a ...... Assisted? -- It just so happens that there is still a vacancy in the co-organizers; Wenqi Zhong...... The main hall of the military department, how? ”

"Hmm...... OK! ”

Neither of them seemed to remember that the co-organizer of the university who hung up was prepared for Zuo Zongtang, who was quelling the rebellion in Xinjiang; As for the "main hall of the military department", the current secretary of the military department is Cao Yuying, this guy, who was originally a person from the "Gong Department", is now an authentic "Xuan Department", and the ********'s aids are abused, how many bad ideas are from him? After the big thing is decided, it is natural to take it down!

"So, what about Rong Zhonghua?"

"The student thinks that Rong Zhonghua can enter the military plane!"

"It's what I want, it's what I want! Ha ha! ”

"Hey, hey!"

The Alcohol King raised his glass, "Come, please fill this glass!" Tonight, I will accompany my husband...... Get drunk! ”
