Xiao Xuan didn't understand why the Shaanxi merchants, who were not good at business and lacked sufficient status in the imperial examination officialdom, could be like a fish in water in this guest land far from their hometown, and even in the historical struggle ten days before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Yangzhou, they obviously had the upper hand over the Hui merchants. It has monopolized interests in the salt industry for two or three hundred years. However, when I was in Yangzhou, I learned a lot of things from the intelligence stations inside and outside the army, and I only understood a thing or two.

Based on Xiao Xuan's experience as a monarch in the past few years, even if the so-called "system" army operates many profitable businesses, it has obvious improvements in many aspects compared with the old interest groups. To say the least, there is at least about 50% waste. Of course, this is not entirely because of the greed for ink at the middle and upper executive levels, but also because of the fact that at the lower levels, the matter of staining relatives and friends is also deeply rooted in the Chinese cultural tradition of this era.

In the past few years of the expedition, the actual cost of grain and grass supply and transportation in the rear was only three or four percent more than the cost of theoretical calculations, which has to be said to be a miracle. It also made Xiao Xuan look at these "outsiders" in Yangzhou with admiration.

"In the days since the expedition of the great army, although the main force has often captured something in the local area during the battle, it has been able to feed the enemy. However, the security war within thousands of miles from Hezhong to the east of Taixi can be carried out vividly, without causing too much chaos, and your contribution is indispensable. In the future, in fact, not only at home, but also from outside the territory of the salt political interests, there will be a piece of the pie... Xiao Xuan said as he looked at the Tian family, the Ren family and others who came to the Shaanxi Guild Hall.

What surprised Xiao Xuan was that these people didn't behave like wealthy businessmen who had experienced decent scenes and had a certain status. Although there is no legendary "high-soled naan shoes stepping on mud, flat-headed robes with heels." Chong people are full of onions and peppers, and they don't wait to hear the sound of Lao Xi's "When he entered the door, there were no footprints left by the "big man with mud legs", and when he met the king, he didn't forget to take a shower and rinse his mouth, but the clothes on his body looked obviously too large and didn't fit well. It's not very natural to see someone like yourself.

It wasn't until a moment later that someone came back to their senses from the excitement and politely replied in a fairly standard new official dialect: "Thank you, Shengshanglongen。。。 I really don't know how to reciprocate ... ”

Obviously, although the Shanshan merchant gang, who were not very well-informed, had dealt with the army for a long time, they did not seem to understand that some of the rules had changed at this time.

Xiao Xuan didn't go around in circles too much, and said bluntly at this time: "Although the interests of the salt industry are very large, for the sake of the stability of the world, the price of salt in the sea will not be able to maintain the scale of two or three hundred yuan forever. I also hope that you can make a difference in stationery, publishing, and many other aspects. This expedition has not only gained gold and silver and chassis, but also a lot of Tessie's talent and technology, and I hope you can develop in new fields as well. The population of the world, at best, can only be doubled by a jiazi, but with the improvement of the economy and agricultural trade, when most places in the whole country can also be like the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas, half of the residents are out of production to seek other industrial and commercial livelihoods, the changes brought about by the population growth, the potential for benefits is more than ten times... ”

"Holy rest assured! What are the arrangements for the future of the saint, we Shaanxi Hall dare not obey... Although the words are still not very appropriate, seeing that Xiao Xuan is different from the imaginary emperor, but very approachable, a person in the Ren family who seems to have some status is also quite bold at this time.

The performance of the Shaanxi Merchant Gang made Xiao Xuan feel a rustic atmosphere from the inside out, and the heart that was once hanging was also put down a lot. A rich person with a good status does not seem to care about his words and deeds, even his external appearance and even his way of behaving in the world, there are roughly two possibilities. One is the lawless earth tyrant, and the other is not relying on his own interests in his contacts and even in his relationship with the government. There is no doubt that such a force can be saved in Xiao Xuan's opinion.

After a pause, seeing that these people didn't seem to have any reaction, Xiao Xuan said: "The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years, and the officers and soldiers who returned from this expedition are our heroes." But many people still don't have a home, and I hope that those who have retired from the army can finally have peace of mind in the Jiangnan area... ”

Everyone didn't know why Xiao Xuan said this at this time, in the eyes of many people in these Shaanxi guild halls, a son of heaven with real power, it shouldn't be a problem at all to solve this matter? At least a lot of things are easier than housing the people along the canal. Therefore, just one of the leaders of the Ren family pressed step by step: "Oh, the Holy One can rest assured. It is said that there are few beautiful women in the northwest and few virtuous wives, but that is the prejudice of outsiders, and I don't understand that just like the men's behavior and even the folk customs, the women in our area... It was only when the head of the Ren family saw that someone made a look, that he felt that he seemed to have said too much.

: Carry a logistics vehicle. The Korean War proved that horses were the most vulnerable link under the deterrence of air power, and the loss rate of horses in the Korean War was two-thirds. And the rate of loss of people or vehicles is much smaller than this percentage. It is estimated that the high rate of capture under the normal engagement between the German army and the Allies on the Western Front in World War II \ The problems of the Japanese army in Operation No. 1 and the Philippine battlefield in 1944 are also related to this.

Therefore, we should learn from the ROK and Taiwan militaries in the early days of the Cold War. The role of all-wheel drive off-road jeeps as a substitute for horses, and the whole division is equipped with at least 600 off-road jeeps and 200 trucks (the all-vehicle version of the infantry division of the Soviet Army's establishment table) If it is only for carrying logistics and fuel logistics, it should also save more than mule and horse logistics. It is not necessarily more difficult to scout than the thousand horses per division during the original historical sports warfare. Referring to some armored jeeps, all-wheel drive off-road vehicles should have been produced in the USSR in the thirties, and at the end of the 40s it should not have been a problem.

2: Light weapons and heavy weapons will be greatly curbed, and it is necessary to strengthen the capabilities of light weapons. Therefore, the RPD light machine gun was popularized in advance to the infantry squad, and the DP46 general-purpose machine gun was popularized to the infantry company. Full company RPD light machine gun *12 (platoon machine gun squad and squad machine gun coexist) universal machine gun 4; Battalion machine gun company 12 (historically, until the Battle of Jincheng, most of the infantry divisions of the TG were still at the level of German armor division with 9 light aircraft and 6 heavy aircraft in the battalion)

The original bolt-action rifle system SKS-45 semi-automatic rifle and submachine gun for infantry were replaced with STG44 (the early AK47 seemed to be too bad, and TG itself was not satisfied)

Consider the infantry company in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China as a large company and a large battalion
