Song Gang hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "Big brother, it's all Song Gang's fault, it's all my fault that I didn't bring a good brother!" Punish me. ”

Shi Jin put away his grief, helped Song Gang up, and shouted: "Brother Song, although these soldiers have had the consciousness of death since they became soldiers. But they are all the same as us, born and raised by their parents, and they cannot be disregarded for their lives because they are humble and contemptuous. Keep it in mind later! ”

Song Gang nodded again and again, "Yes, big brother." Song Gang must remember it well! ”

Telling the good soldiers to collect the ashes, Shi Jin took the group back to the lobby.

Shi Jin sat down and said, "In the future, we must develop good habits, and after each battle, we must hold such a meeting to summarize and discuss the gains and losses of the battle, so as to better improve the combat effectiveness of our army and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past." At the meeting, you don't have to worry about anything else, you can talk freely. Threesomes must have my teacher! Let's discuss and make progress together! ”

Seeing that Zhu Wu didn't dare to speak, Shi Jin said with a smile, "It seems that everyone still has a burden in their hearts, it's okay, it's difficult at the beginning!" It's good to get used to it later. I'll throw bricks and welcome the jade first, let's talk about a few points! This is the first time that the Liangshan Army has gone to war, and there are many problems. The first is that our out-range striking capabilities are too weak and we lack archers. In the battle in the woods, if there were archers, maybe we would be able to defeat those bandits as soon as the battle began. Reduce the casualties of our troops.

Zhu Wu shook his head when he heard it and said, "Big brother, Liangshan is short of iron, and even some of his subordinates still use sticks now." Bows and arrows are good, but arrows are too iron-intensive. We can't afford it! ”

Bows and arrows were a first-class weapon in ancient times, and in the era of cold weapons, if the defending side had enough bows and arrows, it was impossible for the enemy army to even attack them head-on.

But unfortunately, not to mention that a good bow is difficult to make, and more importantly, the arrow is too expensive.

Even in modern times, a bullet is very cheap, a few tens of yuan, but it can't stand up to the loss.

A regular war has the potential to consume hundreds of millions of bullets. You can imagine how much iron this bullet consumes.

Even in modern times, there are many countries that can make guns, but there are only a few that can make bullets on their own. I can't afford it, I can't afford it.

The same is true of arrows, which consume too much iron, and a battle may be thousands, and tens of thousands of pig iron will be gone.

Just like in the Red Cliff War of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu asked for 100,000 arrows when he opened his mouth. Zhuge Liang didn't even object, only asked the time. Because 100,000 arrows are used on the battlefield, which is really not much. It may be the attrition of an offensive and defensive battle.

Shi Jin waved his hand and said, "I'll figure out a way to deal with copper and iron, Zhu Gui, go and investigate, there are good craftsmen and carpenters who know how to make strong bows!" ”

Zhu Gui hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Yes, Zhu Gui Province!" ”

Shi Jin looked at Song Gang and said, "Some people are generals, but they have not fulfilled their duties as generals. went to the battlefield, but he was only concerned about rushing and killing, and forgot to command his subordinates. As a result, the subordinates went to the battlefield, which was disorganized, disorderly, disorganized, and undisciplined, and the casualties were so heavy. ”

Even if he didn't look up, Song Gang knew that the person he was talking about was himself.

Thinking about the signs he saw when he went to the wounded barracks just now, as well as the room where the corpses were placed, Song Gang bowed his head more and more when Shi Jin said.

Song Gang hurriedly shouted, "Sprinkle the family and correct it later!" ”

Glancing at Song Gang, Shi Jin inspected several people present and said: "There is also the fact that when fighting, each department does its own thing, and it is chaotic. In particular, there was one section that attacked first, did not care about cooperating with other troops, and rushed ahead alone, falling into a situation of fighting more with less. Fortunately, all we encountered was a group of bandits, and if we encountered more powerful officers and soldiers, I am afraid that we would not be able to escape the danger of annihilation! Let's talk about how to solve this problem! ”

This meeting said that it was to review the gains and losses of this operation, but Shi Jin's more important purpose was to bring back the military power.

Since ancient times, military reform has been the most dangerous and more dangerous than political reform.

In all dynasties, monarchs and emperors, and even in modern countries, they have been cautious about military changes and reforms.

I'm afraid it will cause a shock.

Political reform, if you lose, you can still go into the wilderness, and there is even a chance to start over.

However, one bad thing about military reform is that there has been a military admonition and mutiny.

In the past, the soldiers and horses up and down Liangshan were in the hands of various leaders, although Shi Jin asked himself if it was not difficult to mobilize that leader.

They will also willingly obey Shi Jin's command.

But in the final analysis, such an army is just someone's private soldiers, and it is up to the leader to beat or scold, and Shi Jin is not easy to ask.

Before Shi Jin became the lord of Liangshan, the old soldiers of Liangshan were all soldiers who had followed Song Gang for many years, in order to appease the people's hearts, Shi Jin did not take back the military power in the hands of the leaders.

It has been nearly two months since I went to Yangshan, and I have already gained a firm foothold in Yangshan. Coupled with this big victory over the bandits, it has also initially established prestige in the Liangshan army.

Shi Jin thought about bringing back the military power.

Shi Jin looked at Zhu Wu, and the meaning was obvious.

Zhu Wu saw Shi Jin's eyes, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Big brother, Zhu Wu thinks that the soldiers up and down Liangshan should be trained and commanded in a unified manner, so that orders and prohibitions can be carried out and commands can be consistent." ”

Shi Jin pretended to groan for a while, and then said to Lu Zhishen and the others, "Brother Xian also makes sense, I don't know what everyone's opinion is?" ”

Song Gang was very reluctant to hear it, and kept silent.

Seeing that Song Gang was still hesitating, Shi Jin looked at Li Zhong.

Li Zhong immediately stood up and said, "Big brother, what Brother Zhu Wu said makes sense, in order to let the brothers have less injuries and less blood, Li Zhong agrees with Brother Zhu Wu's opinion. Unified training of soldiers and unified command. ”

Seeing Li Zhongdu standing up, and then looking at Shi Jin and Zhu Wu all the time looking at him, Yang Chun also hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Yang Chun also thinks what the second brother said makes sense!" ”

Zhu Gui also hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Zhu Gui also thinks what Brother Zhu Wu said makes sense!" ”

Seeing people stand up one by one, Song Gang, who had just been blamed, could only grit his teeth and stand up and say, "Song Gang also thinks what Brother Zhu Wu said makes sense!" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile, "Since so many people agree with Brother Zhu Wu's opinion, that's good." When he returned to Liangshan, he unified the various departments into four troops, namely the cavalry battalion, the spear battalion, the sword battalion, and the sailor battalion. The cavalry battalion continued to be led by me. The spear battalion was led by Brother Lin for training, and Li Zhong served as the deputy general. The sword battalion was led by Brother Lu for training, and Song Gang and Du Qian were the deputy generals. The First Water Division Battalion was led by Chen Da and Yang Chun was the deputy general. What do you think? ”

It's just that there are no private soldiers, and when they heard that they still had positions, Song Gang's faces were a little better.

Song Gang and the others hurriedly shouted, "We agree with the eldest brother's opinion!" ”

Shi Jin laughed and said, "Come to set up a banquet, it's rare to win the battle, the brothers are happy, don't get drunk tonight!" ”

Song Gang heard the scolding secretly, "Happy fart!" ”

Shi Jin also scolded in his heart, "You little ones are waiting, let's come step by step." This time it is to collect private soldiers, next time, Lao Tzu must build a military academy, separate the combat and training of the leading troops, and further grasp the military power! ”
