Chapter 225: The Western Expedition (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Battalion Commander Xian is the one who has been in charge of staying in the Panshi Camp for a long time, and he has reached the level of battalion commander step by step in the Hongjun by virtue of his meritorious service of sacrificing granular gunpowder.
It's just that the name of the battalion commander is a bit weird, but now the Hongjun is still a system where subordinates obey their superiors, no matter how weird this name is, but it represents a fact: he has now become one of the top people in the entire Hongjun!
Therefore, his mental state is very good, and as soon as he entered the door, he gave Liu Chang a military salute: bolt point, camp camp wash and salute! ”
Liu Chang was eating breakfast, but now he stood up and returned a military salute, and then asked Xina to sit down and talk: Let's eat together! ”
He didn't ask if he had breakfast, he immediately sat down very solemnly, and Liu Chang then asked: How is it over there in Panshi Village? ”
Everything went well, the two-pounder and four-pounder guns ordered for Ye Niangniang have been made, and we also trial-produced a twelve-pounder Karen gun, Duncan is going to make a few rifled guns, saying that the twelve-pounder Napoleon gun is too heavy, and it costs more than eight hundred dollars, and the twelve-pounder rifled gun is only one hundred and eighty dollars, and it is light and flexible! ”
The team that made the cannon came out of the door," Liu Chang put down his chopsticks and asked: That's good? ”
After exercising, now we take sulfuric acid according to Deng Yangren's method, that is, what kind of lead chamber method, we have done a good job, and we have already made sulfuric acid, and the next step is to find a way to make a fire cap. ”
As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his body, and read the data while flipping through the notebook, saying how much sulfuric acid, how many artillery, and how much black powder were produced this month, and the report was very detailed, and there were thirty or forty numbers alone.
The technician has this problem, Liu Chang waited for him to finish reading the number, and then asked: That Panshizhai is on the right track, right? ”
We're on track! "Cena said with confidence: give us a few more months, and we will be able to make our own flintlock pistols, well, the firing pistols should also be able to be changed, and it will not be difficult, but we will need to purchase more machinery, and in addition, in order to make cannons, we should also make our own reverberatory furnaces...".
Of course, this has Duncan's merit, but Liu Chang shook his head and said: I am looking for you now, I just want to ask you, are you willing to come to Linhai? ”
Linhai County Gate "Wash and take a startle: come to the sea gate"
He immediately thought of Linhai Zhixian, and now this position is concurrently held by Gao Liangcai, as soon as he thought that he could be in charge of a county, he immediately replied: I am willing to come! ”
That's for the best! Liu Chang smiled: Our Hongjun will soon go west to conquer the two prefectures of Jinhua, the seven counties of the state capital, including Panshi Village, there must be a person who is responsible for the overall responsibility, and I have decided that you will be responsible!"
Ye Niangzi then understood why Liu Chang brought the wash to enjoy breakfast together, and introduced the next Taizhou left-behind guard to her, so she smiled and said: Wash and stay, congratulations! ”
Xina was knocked out by the pie that fell from the world, he reacted after a while, hurriedly put the meat bun in his hand aside, stood up and saluted Liu Chang: I am willing to die for the inspection! ”
Sit down, sit down! Liu Chang said with a smile: It's not an important position, but just the left-behind commander of Taizhou will shock you to this extent, I will tell you a few words."
It's not an important job. "It is definitely the most important position, in addition to the commanders of the two infantry regiments of the Dragon Lance Regiment and the Panshi Regiment, the position of the remaining commander in Taizhou is the most prominent, counting the strength of the commander, even more than an ordinary infantry regiment. …,
Including the mixed battalion temporarily assigned to the Taizhou side, there are three battalions of the infantry battalion alone, in addition to the Panshi Village is under the jurisdiction of Zena, in addition, the township soldiers and militia of the seven counties of Taizhou are under the jurisdiction of Zena.
Of course, the power of this left-behind commander is much smaller, and he knows that he only has command and guidance power over the various infantry battalions and companies under his jurisdiction, but has no personnel and financial power, and he still has to consult Liu Chang of the Western Expedition for major personnel appointments and decisions.
But this qualification alone can make Xi Na satisfied, he sat down and listened to Liu Chang's instructions: Xi Liu, your responsibility is very heavy, our troops in Taizhou Mansion, in addition to Panshi Village, have a total of three battalions, thirteen infantry companies, five artillery companies, and thousands of township warriors, township soldiers and militia, there are Ye Niangniang's sailors on land, it seems that there are a lot, but the Qing Demon is never willing to fail, and will be ready to make a comeback at any time, so your responsibility is not to let Taizhou Mansion have a little accident. ”
This is the reason why he picked the Na, although the actual combat experience of the Chaina is less, and he lacks the command experience at the battalion and regiment levels, but his role in the Taizhou Mansion is to take on the garrison task, and Liu Chang does not expect the Zena to take the Taizhou Mansion alone.
On the contrary, as a technician, he is meticulous and meticulous, and it is not easy to cause major problems, and he is qualified to be responsible for the defense of Taizhou Mansion: Next, you must pay attention to the two directions of Ningbo and Wenzhou, and I will give you a privilege, at a critical moment, you can carry out a decisive counterattack without asking for instructions, and if the battalion and company officers do not obey the command, they can be dismissed from their posts on the spot, and I will recognize them afterwards. ”
Although he has such a privilege, it shows that under normal circumstances, he lacks personnel and financial rights, but he is already satisfied with having a left-behind commander, not to mention the killer weapon of the health moment: Xina is grateful, please rest assured that the inspection is there, the Taizhou Mansion is here, and the inspection point is assured of the westward expedition. ”
The mixed battalion still has to be prepared for construction, so I will give you another 600 regular army establishments, and the specific formation, formation, and training are up to you! ”
This is the second unit that has captured all the real power after Panshi Village, but Xina also knows that everything is always the same, and it always does not leave the regiment, battalion, company and platoon.
All right! That's all there is to it. Liu Chang smiled: Feng Sixian has a good relationship with you."
Feng Zhixian and I have a very good relationship, even Shi Huiji's friendship with me is not bad, and there are many old comrades-in-arms in the teaching camp! ”
That's good! Liu Chang said intentionally or unintentionally: Next, you only need to cooperate with the Kochi Mansion on land!"
That's all it takes to say that, Xina naturally knows Liu Chang's subtext: cooperate with Shi Niangniang at sea! ”
The appointment has come down, while everyone is in Linhai City, hurry up and talk to everyone! ”
I see! ”
Wash Na saluted a military salute, and quickly got up to say goodbye, but as soon as he left, Ye Niangzi asked: Is it okay to wash the battalion commander?"
He can guard the rock village for me, and naturally he can also guard the Taizhou Mansion. Liu Chang said to Ye Yudie: There is no arrangement in the morning, if you want to sleep and go back to the door, I will lead the troops to the west the day after tomorrow."
Ye Yudie glanced at him, ignoring Shi Tinglan and staring at the side: Villain! Big Bad! I'm sure to bite you to death at night! ”
For the Kang Hongjun, this time the western expedition to the gold office can be said to be an unprecedented big operation.
You must know that this operation mobilized all the combat units except the left-behind troops in Taizhou, including two infantry regiments, one cavalry battalion, one punishment battalion, a six-company officer school, all field artillery and siege artillery, and most of the other special units, with a total strength of more than 5,000 people. …,
Such a lineup can only be described as luxurious, you must know that what they want to clean up is just a lost state town that has been beaten and broken by Ni Tingmo, even if the number of soldiers in Chuzhou Town is only 5,000 people, after being severely damaged by Ni Tingmo, it is still a question whether there are 3,000 existing troops.
To the two provinces of the regimental bravery, it is said that the Lanxi regiment training is the most brave, in Xianfeng three years after the establishment of the regiment, known as the strong and brave thousands of people, but the Hong army has seen a big scene, so many foreign guns and foreign artillery is by no means vegetarian, fighting regimental training and arming, a main infantry battalion at least 2,000 people.
In particular, the newly equipped 12-pounder howitzer and 9-pounder field gun, which are the standard light guns of the Western army still in active service, definitely hope to bombard the regimental training that has never been seen before engaging the enemy.
Therefore, everyone's confidence is very full, and they quietly listened to Liu Chang's shouting: My Hongjun soldiers, this inspection of this western expedition is to sweep away the demons and save the people from fire and water...",
Everyone is more concerned about what kind of harvest can be obtained from this march into Jinhua, you must know that before entering Taizhou, the Hong Army was only 2,000 people, but in less than three months, the army has expanded more than three times, many company commanders and platoon commanders at that time are now battalion commanders, the original recruits who have just enlisted in the army, have become the squad leader and platoon commander of the core of the army, and a few people have become company commanders.
More importantly, the confidence exercised in the actual combat again and again, which gives everyone absolute confidence, that is, the battle of the Rainbow Army is an invincible trump card unit, whether it is regimental training, battalion soldiers or bandits, in front of the guns and bayonets of the Rainbow Army, they are all vulnerable.
I can proudly say that no matter how many Qing demons there are in Jinhua and Chuzhou, whether it is 5,000, 50,000, or 500,000, I only have five good siblings with you, I will never leave you, and fight with the Qing demon to the end, even if he has 500,000, I can easily break it! ”
This kind of pride aroused everyone's admiration, and the officers all patted their chests to express their absolute confidence, and in their eyes, the next strategic battle in the gold department will be an unprecedented victory.
At the beginning, the Hong army was less than 2,000 people, and they could sweep away the entire Taizhou Mansion, but now they are 5,000 people, and there are Taizhou Mansions as backup, there are more foreign guns, foreign artillery, and more veterans who have been trained in actual combat.
Liu Chang said loudly to the officers and soldiers: I once said during the Spring Festival that during the Chinese New Year today, our Hong Army will develop into a large force of 40 infantry companies, do you have the confidence to break this record in advance! ”
Five thousand mouths uttered a voice: "Yes"
Thunder of cheers.
The second Sichuan is delivered, and the monthly ticket list is very critical, so I ask for a monthly pass. )
