When the firearms unit was really trained, this kind of troops in the cold weapon era was like delivering food in front of him.

Just like when the Taiping Army was just emerging, a few thousand people could defeat tens of thousands of Qing troops, tens of thousands of people could fight to Nanjing, and finally conquer most of the south of the Yangtze River.

However, in the later period, hundreds of thousands of people were often pressed and beaten by tens of thousands or even thousands of Qing troops.

Some people said that it was because the old troops died in the later period, and the newcomers had no blood, and some people said that it should be for the rise of all kinds of military training and perfect training.

In fact, everyone often deliberately ignores a problem, that is, the equipment of foreign guns, at the beginning, they simply organized a foreign gun team, and when the Hunan army, Huai army, etc., saw that it was easy to use, they also bought it, so the combat effectiveness will soar.

History textbooks always like to tell these histories separately, but they are indeed parallel lines, interconnected and intertwined, just like the Westernization Movement was also the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom during this time, so the role of firearms in it has been forgotten.

Just like now, Li Qingyuan used 2,000 people to drive more than 10,000 Qing troops down the Yellow River like ducks, and Gu Shun on the other side of the river would only write on the chapter how heroic he was, how cunning the bandits were, and how they attacked half-crossing, etc., and then said who did not listen to the command, who was negligent in taking precautions, and so on, and then simply mentioned that the firearms of the bandits were sharp, or they did not mention the sharpness of the firearms of the bandits at all.

In any case, Li Qingyuan achieved his goal of fighting and blocked the Qing army in Hexi, and then Gu Shun's army estimated that it would not be able to attack Li Qingyuan's side in a short time, so it would take at least a month for Qianlong to transfer troops from other places.

With this month, Li Qingyuan's musket also arrived, the recruits were trained, and the most important thing was that the land was also divided, and the Qing army would not face these two thousand people at that time.

It is useless to say more, the most important thing for Li Qingyuan now is to establish his own ruling system, all the fields cannot be divided by Li Qingyuan himself, Li Qingyuan needs to arrange officials at all levels.

Moreover, these officials can't keep the original ones, otherwise these people will definitely read Li Qingyuan's scriptures crookedly.

There are four parts of the selection of officials, the first is the disabled soldiers, and there are very few in Li Qingyuan's regular army in this part, but there are indeed many Tianli and Freemasonry.

Many times, human life is just a number for the current Li Qingyuan, but these are still real people in the final analysis.

Sometimes Li Qingyuan looked through the report on the causes of their disabilities, and he couldn't help but sigh and cry.

Everyone has their own story, and Li Qingyuan can't go to each one to understand it in detail, but for those who have shed blood for their careers, Li Qingyuan always has to give them an explanation and an explanation.

Although these people have not been soldiers for a long time, most of them have only experienced two or three months of recruit training, not to mention the military temperament integrated into their bones, even the military habits are not much.

But this still does not affect Li Qingyuan to rely on them as his own, these people are Li Qingyuan's natural supporters, and it is appropriate to put them in the local area.

The second part is the people in the Celestial Council and Freemasonry who are gifted in this field, who are extremely gifted for political work and management positions, or who have their own desire to do so.

Being an official is the expectation of the people of the country for generations, even if it is just a village head, it can still satisfy the official addiction of many people, so they are not afraid of finding no one.

The third part is the officers and logistics personnel of the various units in Li Qingyuan's hands, these people can effectively restrain those who have crooked thoughts when placed in the localities, and can also manage the localities well for Li Qingyuan and ensure Li Qingyuan's control over the localities.

The fourth part is the upright and famous people in the locality, and it is impossible for all of them to come out of the army, so it is difficult to integrate into the masses without intersecting with the locality.

And don't think that there are not many people, Li Qingyuan has calculated, just count 500 people in a village, and a village must have a village head, an account office, and a militia captain, and these three people are necessary. In such a county of 120,000 people, there are nearly 1,000 people at the grassroots level alone.

If Li Qingyuan wanted to divide the land among the five counties under the control of Lu Liang, then he would have to prepare five or six thousand grassroots personnel.

Li Qingyuan himself can draw 1,89 of these people from various units, and the rest can only be found from the local area, especially the account office, which is a professional, fortunately, there are such people in every village who are familiar with land measurement.

Li Qingyuan arranged for the grassroots village officials to accept their fate, and at the same time trained the recruits, and the fire was finally delivered the day after Li Qingyuan returned from the Yellow River.

Li Qingyuan was immediately relieved, with this batch of muskets, Li Qingyuan could organize ten battalions to replace the troops by the Yellow River.

In the final analysis, no matter how good the grassroots configuration is, in the end, it still needs the gun in Li Qingyuan's hand to carry it out.

Just as Li Qingyuan was about to distribute the muskets, Hou Zheng brought Zeng Alu, looking at this silent man, Li Qingyuan couldn't tell which hero could kill more than ten Qing soldiers.

Originally, Li Qingyuan thought that he had met the kind of man in the water in the Water Margin, but now that he is watching, he is indeed just an ordinary boatman.

Hou Zheng quietly told Li Qingyuan what happened to the other party, and Li Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh, and asked with concern: "Then did you find his mother-in-law?" ”

Hou Zheng shook his head embarrassedly: "This, there are not many people in Hexi, and most of them are paying attention to the movements of the Qing army, why don't I send someone to find out?" ”

Li Qingyuan waved his hand: "I just said, you don't have to care, now it is still based on the movements of the Qing army, and everything else can be put aside, so to speak, this Zeng Alu is very ordinary..."

Hou Zheng thought carefully for a while and nodded and said: "It is estimated that it is also urgent, people say that rabbits bite when they are in a hurry!" You look at a good home and say no, it's gone. ”

Li Qingyuan looked at Zeng Alu, who was a little sluggish, sighed and asked: "We are very sympathetic to your experience, and we will also pay attention to your family, thank you for your feat in the water that day, just because you were a man that time, I will give you a hundred taels of silver, you go back and live a good life." ”

Zeng Alu looked at the official of this sect bandit, not as described by the Qing court, he was very young and kind, but Zeng Alu still didn't have the courage to speak after muttering for a long time.

Li Qingyuan looked at him and asked, "What are your requirements, see if we can help you." ”

Zeng Aru looked up and said, "I... I want to be a soldier and fight with you! Beat the dogs! ”

Li Qingyuan looked at this forty or fifty-year-old man, and wanted to refuse, but the other party really had no home, and there was nothing to go back except to be sad.

Li Qingyuan nodded: "Okay!" Then you go to the navy, we are short of a good sailor like you! ”
