Chapter 12 Military Training

"Fifth Master!" Cezanne called Guo Xinga a little apprehensively.

"Ahh Oh! Goxinga also found himself a little emotional.

"What Xian Ye also said is also true, at the moment the military heart is a little fluctuating, and please ask the fifth master to stabilize the military heart!" Seishan's attitude was somewhat ambiguous.

"What Elder Xian said makes sense, everyone talks about it. It was my first time hosting a meeting with everyone, and I was a little nervous. Showing old age, I'm sorry just now! Guo Xing'a also felt that he was a little too excited just now, and apologized to Xiande on the steps of Saishan'a. also gave Xiande the title of old man.

"The big girl gets on the sedan chair, it's inevitable! Hahaha! Xiande got off the donkey, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"The training of the fifth master is still very effective, everyone look at the guards in this hall. Everyone knows these people, and after the fifth master's hand is so practiced, they have been reborn! Everyone is an old man left behind by Lao Zuoling, and the fifth master will not be surprised if what he says is right or wrong. Everyone can rest assured and boldly talk about it, just look at what the fifth master should pay attention to when training soldiers. "Everyone never expected that the first person to come out to help Guoxinga was neither Actun, who was valued by Guoxinga, nor Saishan, Fengshenga and others who came back with Guoxinga. is actually Mu Shun, who has always been not very good with Guo Xing'a, and has repeatedly despised Guo Xing's training methods in private. And this can no longer be regarded as a help, Mu Shun directly affirmed that Guoxing'a should train the army, but he just asked everyone to give their opinions.

"Yes, yes, yes! The fifth master is brave, and then train the soldiers led by us, and lead everyone to make contributions in the future! Ha ha! Xishou also ignored his lack of position, and hurriedly consolidated the tone of Guoxing's reorganization and training. But the words obviously didn't think much about it, and the sycophants were not even filmed.

"The fifth master can lead everyone to win the battle, and this time he has to reorganize and train the troops, and it is also for everyone to win the battle in the future. The elder and several adults are old, and they help the five masters plan more. This training will inevitably be successful, and everyone will be able to return home in the future with victory! Acton repeated the meaning of happy life again, and followed Guoxing Ah to call Xiande "show old age".

"Well said! Look old, that's what I mean! You need to come up with more ideas for this training! Goxinga turned to Xiande.

"The fifth master is too modest, and he is old!" Xiande was a little helpless, after all, it was not a peaceful season. At present, the war is tight, and even Mu Shun, the first combat force of the leader, supports Guoxing's reorganization and training, and Xiande has no room for argument.

"The fifth master is not strange, and the old man will rely on the old and sell the old. If you are thoughtful, please correct yourself. Xiande first arched his hand to Guoxing'a, and then made a circle.

"The old man is not as good as the fifth master and you, not the people who can lead the troops to fight in front of the two armies, so they are just so old. How the fifth master's military training is, there is no part of the old decay interfering, but the old decay is at this age, and the people's hearts and minds still know it. At present, the morale of the army, the five masters gather a small group of people, and it may be useful to practice some elites, but if you want to train all the leaders, I am afraid that you can't. "What Xiande said was categorical.

"Why?" Guo Xinga is a little weak-hearted, and he is far from fully controlling the whole team.

"Alas! Fifth master, we are stationed in the Eight Banners! Xiande let out a long sigh and sat back in his seat.

"Thoughtful! Alas! The two old men, Saishana and Guiwu, also nodded and sighed.

"Uncle Sai?" After Guo Xing'a knew the actual age of Saishan'a, he changed Uncle Sai to Uncle Sai.

"Fifth master, we have difficulties in garrisoning the Eight Banners!" It was as if Cézanne had been swept away at once.

"Don't babble, have something to say!" Guo Xing'a is a little anxious, is there still a rule, the garrison is not allowed to reorganize and train troops.

"Fifth Master, although our leader is under the jurisdiction of the Eight Banners of the Gyeonggi Garrison, it is not the Beijing Banner after all. is the same as the children of the Eight Banners, and the same is the person under its umbrella, there is a world of difference between the word garrison! Jingqi is the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, with sufficient food and well-equipped equipment. Let's garrison the Eight Banners, and the armament is not as good as the Beijing Banner. But this salary is also insufficient all year round! At the age of seven, Jingqi can count Ding and receive half a salary. Our garrisoned Cheng Ding can barely get sixty percent of the ring. When Qianlong was a master, there were already garrison flags to fend for themselves. Our assistant commander is stationed in Gyeonggi, and the situation is better than below, and we can barely survive. But since the long-haired chaos, the court has been sad day by day, and the food and salary of its people have been much worse than before. Jingqi can still eat grain, but the garrison has already eaten all the grain, and there are banner people on the Shandong road who starved to death. Lao Zuo Ling took the initiative to ask Ying to send troops, just to ask for food and salary for everyone. This time, so many people came to Baoyi Yuding, firstly, to run for a future, and secondly, to give the provincial rations to his family. When he said this, he was very much like a begging for food.

"And whatever!" Goxinga was a little incomprehensible.

"Fifth master! Old-fashioned! Although the flag people are obedient and obedient, they have their own plans in their hearts. At present, the battle of the commander has been lost, and it has been delayed for a long time, and the morale of the army has been depressed. Some of the minions are homesick and have no fighting spirit, and they want to save their lives and return to their hometowns. The old leader was killed, and the fifth master recently took over the leader, and at this time, the reorganization and training of the troops will shock the army's heart and stir up changes! "Sezanne was quite tactful.

Guo Xing'a also probably understood what Sai Shang'a meant, that is, the gang under his command originally estimated that the Taiping Army was a waste of dim sum, and wanted to fight the Taiping Army to brush up on military merits in exchange for food. As a result, I realized that I was a waste snack. The huge gap in their hearts has dispelled the fear of death for these guys, and they would rather not earn food than go home with their lives. At present, these people are quite honest. But if Guo Xing'a suddenly conducts training, it is difficult to guarantee that these people will not bully Guo Xing'a's new arrival. In case they don't dare to play with the Taiping army, but dare to make trouble with Guoxing'a, Guoxing'a's new leader will be in trouble.

"Hmmm! I know. Anything else? Goxinga swept his gaze to everyone.

"It's gone! Gone! Everyone shook their heads.

"That's it! Easy to do! It is better to starve to death when you go home than to die in a war. It's not a problem! Guo Xing'a stood up with a goose feather knife.

"Fifth Master ......" Sai Shang'a, Xiande, and Guiwu felt that Guo Xing'a was going to go his own way.

"Acton, Hatan, Hiju!" Goxinga began to point to the general.

"The subordinates are here!" All three were on call at the same time.

"Find a few reliable brothers, tomorrow you will play the scene, if there is a crime, the military law will serve!" Goxinga seems to be as casual as arranging duty.

"Huh!" The three of them bowed down to receive the order.

"Fifth master, don't be hasty!" Sezanne had already pulled Gohinga's sleeve.

"I know, don't worry!" Gohinga stretched out his hand to block Seishan.

"Changlu, Fuquan!" Goxinga almost roared out this time.

"Here!" Changlu and Fuquan also showed the difference after training.

"The guard squad and sniper squad will all be distributed with live ammunition tomorrow and will be responsible for the training and vigilance tasks. If there is a roaring riot and those who take the opportunity to flee, they will be punished according to battlefield disobedience and killed on the spot! "Guoxing, who has died several times and killed many people, is no longer Yeguo.

"Huh!" Changlu and Fuquan were like two flesh and blood puppets, answering Guo Xing's voice, making the others hear the smell of bloody ice ballast.

"Fengsheng!" Guo Xing'a, who gave a few orders, finally tasted the taste of power, and he couldn't wait.

"Ahh Subordinates are here! "Hearing the exit of Guoxing's killing word, Fengsheng'a was as petrified as Saishan'a, Xiande and others. I can't believe that the young man in front of me is Guoxing, who has grown up since he was a child.

"The whole army was ordered to assemble in the open space in front of the temple at the beginning of tomorrow morning, and the whole army was organized and trained. Those who do not arrive at the time of expiration will be counted as killed, and if they are later found to have survived, they will be punished according to the punishment of escaping from the battle, and they will be killed on the spot. Goxinga sat back in his seat, biting his lower lip.

"Hum ......" Feng Shen'a was a little depressed.

"Regarding the reorganization of the team, I have a charter, and I have a staff officer. The whole team is dominated by me, and Uncle Sai, Elder Xian, and Uncle Gui serve as the staff officers of the assistant leader, and follow me to command the whole team. There are 10 members of the Changlu sniper team directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Zuo Ling, 15 members of the Fuquan guard squad, and the Xishou miscellaneous team. The miscellaneous team is in charge of the chores of the whole team, and the number of people depends on the actual situation! Guo Xing'a outlined his personal team. Cezanne and the other three old men, the position of this staff officer is not easy to say. Needless to say, Changlu and Fu Almighty led a team of themselves, and they were also overjoyed to be included in the miscellaneous team.

"The assistant leader is divided into two companies, each company has four combat platoons and one eight-person communication squad directly under the company, and each platoon has two combat squads with 14 people in each squad. Each company squad platoon does not have a title, but is called by numbers. In terms of official titles, titles such as Xiao Cavalry School were discontinued first, and "long" was used, which was easy for officers and soldiers to understand. The company has a company commander, a platoon leader, and a squad leader. I decided on a few candidates, the first company commander Mu Shun, the second company commander Feng Sheng'a, the first company platoon commander Hatan, and the second company and one platoon leader Actun. As for the other platoon commanders and squad leaders, the two company commanders decide for themselves! Guo Xing'a barely paused, and said his plan like a bean. Fengsheng'a, Hatan, and Acton are all people who have seen blood with Goxinga, and it is needless to say that they have been reused. Mu Shun also won the high position of a company commander, which was a little eye-catching. Originally, with Mu Shun's ability, he was the first person in the leader, but just now Mu Shun was the first to jump out to support Guoxing'a, which couldn't help but make people reverie.

"Thank you for your hard work! Tomorrow I will announce this decision, and you will all draw up a draft of the candidates for each position tonight! Meeting! As he spoke, he held the hilt of his knife tightly, as if anyone dared to raise an objection and would talk to Goxinga's knife.

After everyone saluted and withdrew, Goxinga left Acton behind and went to the cellar to check the weapons. Acton has good organizational skills, and has called on a group of people to sort out all kinds of equipment.

Guo Xing'a was completely uninterested in swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and went straight to the firearms. The sixty foreign guns are all brand new, but the strange firing smoothbore design is not known to be researched by the uncle of which country. The firing pistol should be considered advanced, but in the years when Minne's bullets were flying, you played with smoothbore for a few things. There are more than 40 bird guns in the domestic muskets, which are directly classified as firewood by Guo Xing'a, and there are many strange goods such as bird guns. The advanced technology of the firing pistol was developed during the Qianlong period of China. Moreover, xanthate, white medicine, thunder silver, etc., a lot of research has been studied*. It can be applied to firearms, and it is completely unreliable. I don't know why, China's firearm design has been limited to the idea of bird guns, what is the use of firing bird guns?

The other 70 or so shots, except that the wooden part is not as delicate as the foreign goods, can be regarded as a copy of the foreign gun in front, a water-fired smoothbore gun. It looks similar to the Mine gun, and it will be strained after a dozen. The secret of rifling, the old men of the Qing Dynasty will have to wait a few years to understand it!

Forty guns were raised, all of which fired the smoothbore, and the wooden part was very finely carved. The barrel is more than three meters long, and it is the thickness of the mouth, so this thing can be considered a cannon. Guo Xing'a racked his brains to find a guy in modern firearms that could be compared to this unique Chinese firearm. But even the trenches * do not have such a large caliber. Thinking of the * Guo Xing'a, he roughly thought about the future of these guns. It has to change! There aren't so many people in Goxinga who serve these big guys.

Holding a small branch and scratching on the ground for a while, the number of guns was still not enough. The sniper squad used 10 captured rifled guns, and the guard squad was able to replace 15 flintlock guns, but had to make up for 15 firing rifles. Not counting the birds, the inside and outside are combined, and the current firearms are only enough to equip a company. Lift * to build a part, and then use the bird gun to waste, and then you can equip two more platoons if you die. That is to say, there are two more platoons, which have to rely entirely on cold weapons to fight. The cold weapon is Guoxing Abuling, so he can only leave Acton to continue to sort out the equipment and go to Mu Daxia to learn from him.

"Say hello to the fifth master!" When Guo Xing'a found Mu Daxia, Mu Shunzheng was standing on a high post with a very heroic demeanor.

"Mu Daxia, you're welcome! I'm here to ask you for advice! Goxinga regained his sly smile.

"The killing skills ordered by the fifth master, the subordinates have already taken care of it. In about three days, Changlu, Fuquan and others can be taught to practice. Mu Shun prefers Guoxing, who is seriously shouting and shouting and killing.

"It's so fast! It is worthy of being the first master of Gu'an! But looking for you today is something else! "Guo Xing'a didn't expect Mu Shun to be so efficient.

"I don't know what the fifth master commands!" Mu Shun always felt that there was something in Guo Xing's mind that was different from normal people.

"Huh! I just went to the inventory with Acton, and there weren't enough guns. Guo Xing looked at Mu Shun with a smile.

"Oh?" Mu Shun waited for the second half of Guo Xing's sentence.

"There are probably two platoons with less than sixty brothers, and they can only fight with cold weapons!" Goxinga's mood was a little sudden.

"It is the duty of the people to fight with swords on the battlefield, and it also saves the five masters from training them." Mu Shun felt that it was normal to play with a big knife.

"I still have to practice, but these sixty brothers have to practice something special." Goxinga frowned.

"What does the fifth master want them to practice?" Mu Shun felt that Guo Xing'a was going to have a bad idea.

"Mu Daxia, I don't know much about not using muskets! You say you don't need muskets, what class is the most powerful? "Guo Xing'a finally looks like a child.

"Cavalry, naturally!" Mu Shun regretted it a little as soon as he spoke. Just like because of the different way of thinking from others, Goxinga suddenly gave up the negotiation and used power to promote military reform. Mu Shun also had a hard time understanding Guo Xing'a's train of thought, and couldn't guess what Guo Xing'a wanted to do.

"That's right! Cavalry, we have so many horses! Eight Banners Iron Rider! Yes, yes......" Guo Xinga was inspired and nodded again and again.

"Fifth master, no one in the collar understands cavalry!" Mu Shun gritted his teeth, but decided to pour some cold water on Guoxing.

"You know how to ride a horse, right? Equestrianism seems pretty good? Guo Xing'a tilted his head and looked at Mu Shun.

"Fifth Master, cavalry and fighting on horseback are not the same thing!" Mu Shun hurriedly stopped.

"I know, I know, you can teach everyone to ride horses and fight! Don't look at me I can't ride horses, cavalry, I understand! It's true! Guo Xing'a looked at Mu Shun with a sincere face.

"Fifth master, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and it is not suitable for cavalry combat!" Mu Shun couldn't tell if Guo Xing'a understood the cavalry, but instinctively wanted to stop him.

"There are only a few of us, and it is not our turn to fight the cavalry movement. Our cavalry can pass military orders, charge at short distances, and pursue the routed army! Feel relieved! I really understand! Goxinga began to dance excitedly again.

"Mu Shun obeys the orders of the fifth master!" Mu Shun also heard the legend about the immortal teaching of Guoxing Ade, and the bayonet fighting of the guard squad also conquered Mu Shun, and Mu Shun could only follow Guoxing A to gamble.

"That's it! Your company is the sharp knife company that we lead the attack! Later, the company was divided into two parts, and the first and second platoons were responsible for attacking the fortifications. I designed a new weapon for them, and it was absolutely amazing. Your communications squad also has three or four platoons, all of which are cavalry units, responsible for charging and chasing down the remnants of the enemy. Well! Well! That's it! Look for people, look for horses! It's going to be decided tomorrow morning. I'm going to Acton to get you some equipment! Guo Xing'a patted Mu Shun's broad shoulder and ran away.

"By the way, the basic cavalry training of your company, my guard squad also participates, and when you pick up horses, bring them thirty horses!" Guo Xing'a, who had run a few steps, suddenly turned around and explained.

"Huh!" Looking at the figure of Guoxing A's shepherd boy leaving, Mu Shun wanted to sigh "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided."

Goxinga, who jumped back all the way, did not go to Acton alone, but called Saishana and Xishou. And let Acton hand over the detailed list of equipment and so on to Cezanne, and the work of sorting out and repairing the equipment also belonged to the team of Xishou and several miscellaneous teams.

"Acton, I'm going to leave the company tomorrow, do a good job! Fuquan They have also been trained and you have seen, and the key is to prohibit the four words. You have to fight for it! Goxinga specially instructed when he drove Acton away.

"Fifth Master rest assured, Acton is the person promoted by the Fifth Master, and he will definitely not embarrass the Fifth Master!" Acton, who was about to have twenty-eight of his men, was also a little excited.

"Go ahead! Don't be a good person, everyone else has picked it up! Gohinga waved away Acton.

Cezanne was originally the role of the chief butler, and he was familiar with taking over the accounts and other matters. Xishou took a few acquaintances, as well as the blacksmiths and carpenters brought back from the Jiangnan camp, and according to the instructions, they were classifying and storing all kinds of equipment. The firearms and the sabers and spears of the cavalry were wiped and repaired, and they were divided according to the structure and ready for distribution. Blacksmiths and carpenters also began to re-modify and carry guns according to Goxinga's drawings.

"Xishou, has the handyman team decided?" Guo Xing'a suddenly asked.

"Back to the fifth master, not yet!" Xishou is a little weak-hearted.

"Tomorrow, all the rest will be yours!" Goxinga seems to have had a plan.

"Hey, it's all up to the fifth master!" Xishou was a little reluctant.

"Fighting! I can't give you all the ingenuity, and you have to bring out the leftovers! Guoxinga seems to have high hopes for longevity.

"Huh! We will not let the fifth master down! "Xishou hurried to show his loyalty.

"Tomorrow's military training will also participate in your miscellaneous team, and the miscellaneous staff is also a soldier!" Guo Xinga said and nodded.

"Military training?" Xishou didn't understand the meaning of military training.

"You will also lead the troops in the future!" Goxinga pursed his lips.

"Huh! Subordinates are stupid! Xishou was also a little ashamed. Leading the troops, for Xishou, is a title that can be proud for a long time. And those who lead troops do not understand what military training is, and they should indeed be ashamed.

"Military training, a soldier, a soldier, must go through the training." Goxinga straightened his back.
