Chapter 52: A Genius
Nie Shicheng did not get carried away in the congratulations of his colleagues, and solemnly pushed out the Zhang Yi he had excavated. "Everyone, this is the rising star of my Huaijun that I want to introduce to you - Zhang Yi. This Sino-Japanese battle is thanks to this young man. In three months, I trained a strong elite soldier, and when the Japanese army attacked Asan at night, they raided the Japanese garrison in Chenghuan and burned all the baggage of the Japanese army; When the Japanese army besieged Nanda Camp, it was he who led the blue wolf battalion to retreat from the strong enemy; When our troops withdrew to Kaicheng, he led dozens of troops to entangle the main force of the Japanese army for nearly two days; In this battle of Kaesong, he alone led the army to hold Maoershan for three days and three nights, withstood the strong attack of three or four thousand Japanese troops with 600 troops, and finally captured Oshima Yoshimasa with family planning, causing the Japanese army to be leaderless and defeated by our army in one fell swoop! Our army's victory, Zhang Yi, is really indispensable, he is a well-deserved reincarnation Zhuge under my command! ”
These important generals of the late Qing Dynasty listened to Nie Shicheng's introduction, and exclaimed again and again, looking at this young man, who is only twenty years old, he has such a talent, and in time, he will definitely be the Optimus Prime Stone of the future Qing Dynasty!
Zuo Guigui laughed and said: "Gongting, more than thirty years ago, the red-haired era was chaotic, and Liekou was humiliated, and I was crumbling in the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, Wen Zhenggong, Wen Xianggong and Li Zhongtang were born one after another, and they were able to stabilize the situation by ruling the army and the world from the horse, and then there were 30 years of Tongguang Zhongxing. Now that Wen Zhenggong and Wen Xianggong have passed away, the old Zhongtang is also over the age of old, and the Qing Dynasty no longer has the ability to govern the world. Unexpectedly, the genius and the Qing Dynasty are the blessings of the Qing Dynasty! ”
Zuo Guigui is a leader among the rising generals of the Huai Army, and his reputation is still above Nie Shicheng. Now that he said this, he carried a lot of weight, and the other three adults also agreed.
Zhang Yi thanked Shi Lixun again and again: "Your lords have praised it falsely, Zhang Yi is ashamed to be ashamed, such a big victory is all the commander's dispatch is well-planned, all the soldiers are working together, Zhang Yiyan dares to be greedy for the merits of the sky......"
Everyone was polite.
Zuo Guigui took the lead in asking: "Brother Gongting, now that the Japanese army has temporarily withdrawn, the city is safe. I wonder what our army will do next? Please also advise. ”
Nie Shicheng muttered: "Brother Guanting, my lords, although the Japanese army has temporarily withdrawn, the situation in Korea has not eased much. At present, the Japanese garrison in Korea is close to 30,000, and domestic reinforcements are still being transported to Pusan by its warships, according to the current trend, the Japanese army may gather 50,000 elite troops in Korea before October. To tell the truth, I have been engaged in many battles with the Japanese army, and I have been an eye-opener for the elite of the Japanese army. Our Lutai Huai Army is also known as the elite of the Huai Army, and it is not inferior to the Huai Army, but we also have to admit that the combat power of the Japanese army is indeed above our army. This time it was able to win the battle, thanks to Counselor Zhang Yi's strategy and repeated strange schemes, otherwise, the Japanese army was forced by superior forces, and it would be easier said than done to hold Kaesong. ”
Wei Rugui took a slight breath of cold air and exclaimed, "Brother Gongting, is the Japanese army's combat power really so strong? ”
Nie Shicheng sighed lightly: "That's true, plus we are far away from the mainland, the logistics supply and dispatch are inconvenient, and the troops are also in a weak position, so once the main force of the Japanese army comes again, the pressure on our army will suddenly increase, and we must not take it lightly." ”
Ma Yukun smiled slightly and replied: "Brother Gongting, you don't have to have the momentum of a long-term emperor to extinguish our prestige. We follow Lord Zhongtang to conquer the south and the north, and we have experienced a hundred battles, and Japan is also crossing the ocean, and the supply of materials needs to be dispatched from within the country like my Qing Dynasty, and we have no chance of winning this battle. However, I am very interested in the new army trained by Zhang Yi, and I am so impressed by Brother Gongting, I want to appreciate the style of your new army. ”
Zuo Guigui replied: "Yes, yes! You are patronizing the praise, and we must also see the demeanor of this new army. ”
Nie Shicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's late today, let's see tomorrow morning." Now that Kaesong is victorious, I also have to report the victory to the imperial court first, and at the same time urge the imperial court to continue to send reinforcements, relying only on the strength of our current 30 battalions, which is far less than enough to fight against the 50,000 Japanese elites in the future, or to ask the emperor and the queen mother to continue to transfer troops to support Korea, this battle is related to the national fortune of our Qing Dynasty, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose, once there is a loss, the land and indemnity will follow, the great powers will also watch, and the 40,000 Li people of the Qing Dynasty will be even more distressed. ”
Zuo Guigui said: "What Brother Gongting said is extremely true, and his vision is long-term, which is beyond our reach. We are willing to jointly name and play the court together, and at the same time telegraph to Lord Zhongtang, asking him to make plans as soon as possible in preparation for great changes. ”
Nie Shicheng said with a smile: "This is very good, and I also ask you to help, we will jointly draw up a telegram, and call the imperial court and the Zhongtang lord Jun to judge respectively." ”
Everyone sat around and talked about the third watch, before they dispersed, and after the telegram was prepared, they handed over the documents and quickly called the court.
On the second day, everyone got up early, Zuo Guigui and others were anxious and wanted to see the style of the new army, this year the Qing army shouted for reform, follow the example of the West, has been for a long time, always thunder, raindrops, no real action. Now, under the pressure of Japan, the new army has been forced out in such a way, although the scale is still small, but after the formation and training of the new army, it will be much easier, and everything is difficult at the beginning.
Everyone came to the martial arts field, and the ten blue wolf team members were also in place under the leadership of Zhang Yihu.
Zhang Yi came to Nie Shicheng, bowed down and said, "Marshal, the blue wolf drill personnel are already in place, please show me." ”
Nie Shicheng nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's start." ”
Zhang Yi had already ordered people to prepare the equipment for the exercise last night, and the 500 zhang long and 300 zhang wide martial arts teaching ground had erected three obstacle walls, and a barbed wire fence had been pulled up, and at the very front of the martial arts teaching field, there were ten mobile gun targets placed side by side.
Zhang Yi said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, in this exercise, the blue wolf team members will hold guns and carry five kilograms of weight in five minutes, climb over three obstacles up to eight feet and five inches, and then climb over the barbed wire fence in front of them, arrive at the designated place, and shoot at their respective moving targets one hundred and fifty steps away, with five bullets per person, and please review them!" ”
After saying that, Zhang Yi turned around and shouted at Zhang Yihu: "Zhang Yihu, start the exercise immediately!" ”
Zhang Yihu roared: "Yes!" ”
Zhang Yihu shouted: "Ready, start!" ”
I saw ten blue wolf team members flying out, and instantly came to the obstacle wall, the blue wolf door jumped straight up, the arm was already on the edge of the obstacle wall, directly over the obstacle wall, without the slightest drag of mud and water, clean and neat. Three obstacles in a row, and then came to the iron net, the team members used their hands and feet, climbed over the barbed wire, came to the designated position, the front of the mobile gun target began to shake, the team members shot together, in the blink of an eye, five bullets sprayed out of the Mauser rifle.
Nie Shicheng stood up with a smile and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we don't need to report the target, how about just going over and take a look?" ”
Zuo Guigui arched his hand and replied: "Dashuai, it's so better, I'm about to open my eyes." ”
