Chapter Eighty-Five: Annihilation or Defeat
The butt of the gun needs to be produced separately by each carpenter according to the barrel, and each piece of the product of the handicraft workshop has errors, so it can be said that the parts of each gun are made separately, and there is no possibility of interchangeable parts.
If there is a problem with the gun, it also requires the blacksmith to make parts separately from scratch, so the production of the butt is also a carpenter's responsibility for the whole process, and there is no assembly line operation.
Li Qingyuan now wants to solve the problem of existence and then think about higher efficiency, so even if there are many problems like this, Li Qingyuan does not plan to change it in the short term.
And the second question, Li Qingyuan is not worried about the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, but is thinking about what kind of result should be given to this group of Qing troops, is it annihilation? Or is it a rout? Or just hang and drag?
Annihilation is the most worry-free and can also deter the enemy, but the result will be that the enemy you face will become stronger and stronger in the future.
If you want to say that the Qing army doesn't have a long memory, didn't it kill a team of this scale last time? Coming back this time? Maybe the Qing army thinks that these people won by sneak attacks, and this time it's okay to be careful~
For example, the Ming army in those years was like when dealing with the Jurchens, but when dealing with the peasant army, the weak often defeated the strong, and tens of thousands of people dealt with hundreds of thousands of them easily.
Presumably the Qing army thinks the same way, right? Therefore, Li Qingyuan planned to take this group of Qing troops around the mountains first, and this task would be handed over to the Fifth Battalion with the Tianli Council.
And Li Qingyuan had to deal with Fan Wei's problem, as Li Qingyuan expected, Fan Wei couldn't hold on and made a fuss.
Li Qingyuan originally thought that these people should not be able to persist after not studying for two days, but he didn't expect these people to persist for a few more days.
However, it was only a few days, and what Li Qingyuan didn't expect was that it was not those trained soldiers who made trouble first, but Fan Wei, the big boss. When Li Qingyuan arrived at the place, all the training stopped, and the soldiers were drinking and gambling and basking in the sun.
This wine was sold to them by Li Qingyuan, and the first thing Fan Wei said when he saw Li Qingyuan was: "Did we bring our guns?" ”
Li Qingyuan smiled and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to get a gun?" Are you training? ”
Fan Wei pouted and said: "You soldiers let them leave for a while, and sometimes let them stand and not move, isn't this a game?" I said that the church should shoot guns, but they did say that it is useless to practice the queue first, and it is useless not to practice the queue gun, isn't this! ”
Li Qingyuan said with a smile: "They are all trained like this, and letting your soldiers practice like this also proves that they are not hiding their secrets~"
Fan Wei said disdainfully: "Whoever likes to practice practice, my brother doesn't want to practice......"
Li Qingyuan waved his hand to make everyone else retreat, leaving Fan Wei himself to smile and ask him, "Are you stupid?" ”
"You!" Fan Weiqi's face turned red, and he waved his sleeves and said, "You are too much!" If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not done with you! ”
Li Qingyuan patted him and asked, "First, this training is tired, what does it matter to you?" Did you practice? ”
Fan Wei said: "My brother doesn't want to practice! ”
Li Qingyuan shook his head and pointed to his troops and asked, "You have also been with my soldiers for a while, how are my soldiers?" ”
Fan Wei nodded enviously and asked suspiciously, "Are they really practicing too?" ”
Li Qingyuan smiled: "You are with them every day, don't you see that they still practice queues every day, are they idle?" Which one put the gun? ”
Fan Wei recalled for a moment and said: "Then teach us how to put the gun first, why don't you put the gun and take the weapon?" ”
Li Qingyuan rubbed his head and asked, "Don't you want your soldiers to be as powerful as my subordinates, you fight with the Qing army, don't the Qing army musketeers also line up to fight guns?" ”
Fan Wei agreed in his heart, but said: "But this training is too tiring, my brother ......"
Li Qingyuan looked at him: "Don't want your brother first, let me ask you, as the leader, do you want to lead a group of rabble or a group of elite soldiers?" Didn't you see that I used only three battalions to defeat more than 2,000 Qing troops, and six battalions to wipe out 4,000 Qing troops? Now you are given such an opportunity, don't you want it? ”
Fan Wei was still hesitating, Li Qingyuan grabbed him and said: "Let me tell you something from my heart, you see that my soldier training is more tired than your soldiers, but I never feel distressed, when they are tired, you will have elite soldiers, and if you win the war, it is not our benefit?" These people can't just coax them. ”
Fan Wei nodded: "Okay, I'll let them practice, but can't you teach shooting first?" How long do you have to practice? ”
Li Qingyuan patted him with a smile: "Okay!" Learn to shoot first! I've been training for two or three months, and you're ......."
Fan Wei shook his head and said anxiously: "No, three months is too long, can't it be faster?" ”
Li Qingyuan frowned and thought for a while, he had no choice about this kind of mud that couldn't support the wall: "It's not that you have to train for so long, you can be dragged to fight after a month of training, and then you can practice slowly while fighting." ”
Fan Wei nodded when he heard this, he felt that a month was barely acceptable, if he didn't talk about his subordinates for a long time, he wouldn't be able to hold it back.
Fan Wei asked curiously: "Why have you been hiding in the mountains and not going out?" In his opinion, Li Qingyuan has such a strong strength, and it is very strange that he does not hide and does not show his head, like a turtle with a shrunken head.
Li Qingyuan sighed and said: "Originally, I planned to wait for a big one after the summer harvest, and there will be guys who can rob it at that time, this is not to save you from being exposed in advance, but now that I am being targeted by the Qing army, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of it in a short time." ”
After speaking, Li Qingyuan remembered one more thing and said: "By the way, you also have to be careful, although Sanniang helped you lure away the Qing army, as long as you show up, it is estimated that the Qing army will come back to chase you......"
Fan Wei heard this, and gradually took off a little guard in his heart, people were indeed unlucky to save him, thinking about the last time they also relied on the other party to save him, these two life-saving graces, did he do too much, Fan Wei hesitated and asked: "What do you think I should do next?" ”
Li Qingyuan said with a smile: "I heard that there is a drought on the other side of Weishan Lake, and the lake has shrunk by half......"
Fan Wei nodded: "In that case, you can't go there, there's no oil and water......"
Li Qingyuan rolled his eyes angrily, this IQ is still rebellious! No wonder he died so quickly!
Li Qingyuan induced: "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the red land of the world were not happy, and the king Li Zicheng started from the northwest, and the people of the world responded one after another, and millions of people could often gather in ten months, do you know why?" ”
Fan Wei frowned and thought for a long time, and finally suddenly realized: "Oh! You mean that King Chuang has a great reputation! So everybody is willing to follow him......"
