Chapter Fifty-Eight: Motionless as a Mountain, Moving as Fire
After the banquet, Li Zhuyuan, under the leadership of Shanjia, inspected the drill of a small army of infantry, cavalry, and artillery mixed with the Jiang family's army.
In fact, this drill is a daily training subject for Jiang Jiajun, and it can be said that it is very simple, and it is not a complicated confrontation drill.
To put it simply, the infantry squad demonstrated a drill in which they quickly changed formations after receiving orders, quickly shifting from ordinary phalanxes to defensive formations.
The cavalry squad demonstrated the rapid transition from a standstill to a charge, outflanking the enemy's flanks.
The artillery squad is to practice how to accurately cover the enemy's position with a large amount of artillery fire within a stick of incense, destroy the enemy's position to the greatest extent, and hit the enemy's morale.
For the training of the army, in fact, Jiang Chuan is also considering carrying out higher-level training content such as infantry and artillery coordination.
The key problem is that he was just an otaku writer in his previous life, and he didn't know much about the training content of these modern and modern armies, but he only knew a rough idea, so he was still exploring.
There is another reason, that is, the current artillery whether it is the range or accuracy, as well as the influence of gunpowder smoke and other problems, has also increased the difficulty of training.
Although this so-called review was not specially arranged, it was just a daily training of all branches of the Jiang Army. But for Li Zhuyuan, it was indeed an eye-opener.
Although he is the secretary of the military department, many of the officials in this position in the history of the Ming Dynasty are from civilian backgrounds, and those who have led soldiers to fight like Xia Junze are rare.
Moreover, Li Zhuyuan and the others are still limited by this era, and many of the things they see when looking at an army are relatively superficial.
For example, the Qin army's sophisticated and neat equipment, the discipline like a mountain, the majestic and neat military appearance, the strength of the charge, the surging and fierce artillery fire, and the command of the arm's fingers......
Each of the above aspects is the most basic quality or ability for Qin Jun, but for Li Zhuyuan, it is extremely shocking, and he is amazed, calling this a strong army that he has only seen in his life and is rare in the world.
Moreover, during the army drill, Li Zhuyuan did not find any low morale and constant complaints that Qin Wang Jiangchuan had said before.
Puzzled, he quickly understood, and his heart was even more emotional-it turned out that the real initiator of the storm in the capital was His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and many people had become pawns in his hands, and the monarchs and ministers turned against him, but in the end, only His Royal Highness the King of Qin really benefited.
This scheming made Li Zhuyuan even more impressed. He only now understands why Shousuke-sama made up his mind so early, and that is because people look at people more accurately than him.
Thinking of this, Li Zhuyuan was deeply glad that he had come to this trip and that he had made the right choice.
For a person who aspires to ascend to the pinnacle of supremacy, strength, means, scheming, wisdom, and determination are all indispensable.
And the means and scheming do not mean that they are good at intrigues, that kind of person can only live in the dark sewers. The real means are all schemes, even if you know that it is a scheme, you have nothing to do, you can only obediently follow other people's plans.
Because the Yangmou is relying on the general trend, the general trend is the trend, and the only thing that stands in front is the end of being crushed.
And all of the above, this highness obviously has it. Maybe it's not too old and spicy, but it's already up-and-coming.
After thinking about this, and then looking at the army in front of him, which was not like a mountain, moving like a raging fire, and full of murderous spirit, Li Zhuyuan's eyes were only filled with admiration.
He thought that such a character was really born at the right time, born for this troubled era. It is lucky to be his friend or follower, but to be his enemy and opponent is only a tragedy.
The already destroyed Manchu Qing state and the defeated Dashun army that fled west are the best examples.
He couldn't think of anyone else who could be his opponent and stand in the way of his ascension to that supreme position.
After the review, on the way to follow the Shanjia Hui Jiangchuan Wang's tent, the troops I saw were all as elite and neat as the small army just now, which further showed that the elite of the Qin army was the real elite, and not relying on an elite squad to support the façade.
After returning to the king's tent and seeing Jiang Chuan again, Li Zhuyuan's eyes when he looked at His Royal Highness the King of Qin were already very different.
If he was still a little complacent before and felt that he had taken refuge, it was the blessing of his King Qin.
But now it seems that this is simply his luck. If he hadn't come today, he would have missed this great opportunity to change the fate of him and his family for the rest of his life.
"Your Highness, if Your Highness does not give up, my Li family is willing to saddle up and back for Your Highness, and I will not give up, if I violate this oath, heaven and man will be killed!"
Li Zhuyuan bowed deeply to Jiang Chuan and said solemnly.
Jiang Chuan glanced at Su Qin next to him, Su Qin also nodded to him, Jiang Chuan smiled and stepped forward to help Li Zhuyuan Zhengse and said, "It is my Jiang Chuan's luck to have a virtuous person like Lord Li to assist." Master Li can take care of each other with sincerity, and Jiang Chuan will definitely not disappoint the meritorious and loyal ministers. There is a long way to go, and we still need to forge ahead with each other and never forget our original intentions. ”
A sentence of forging ahead and not forgetting the original intention made Li Zhuyuan feel deeply excited, his eyes were hot, and he bowed deeply again.
……
Li Zhuyuan left and returned to the capital with excitement and hope.
And Jiangchuan's side also decided that tomorrow the army would pull out the camp and march to the capital.
This is his next battleground, and it is also a new test for him that he has never experienced before.
After deciding to march into the capital tomorrow, Jiang Chuan issued several orders:
First, Qi Wentai, the former deputy chief of Shanhaiguan, was promoted to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, leading 10,000 men and horses of the headquarters to guard Shanhaiguan, and the rest of the men and horses were handed over to Hu Zongxian to set off from Shanhai Port, and transported them to the coast of Qingzhou by ship to land and march to Jinan Prefecture.
Second, Di Qing's right army and Baishan's left army left a small number of troops to garrison Tianjin Wei and nearby cities, and the rest of the men and horses were led by the two of them to be transported by the main force of the water division cruising in the upper reaches of the canal to land near Jinan Mansion, and attacked Jinan City with Hu Zongxian's troops.
Let the general Qi Wentai guard the mountain pass, it is because Jiang Chuan believes that this person is not the kind of villain who is capricious in the Qin and Duchu dynasties, but a trustworthy general.
Moreover, through these several battles, the Qin army has confirmed its strong combat power, since he dares to let Qi Wentai guard the Shanhaiguan, the retreat of the Qin army, it means that Jiang Chuan is not worried that he will make trouble at all.
And as long as Qi Wentai's head doesn't cramp, he will never do that kind of stupid thing that is tantamount to suicide.
As for the attack on Jinan City, Jiang Chuan also thought that the situation was clear, and the reality was ripe, and it was time to solve the remnants of the Qingzhou Dashun Army.
As long as Qingzhou is recovered, Beizhili, Qingzhou, and Liaodong will be connected, and the strategic depth will be much greater for Jiangchuan.
Moreover, Qingzhou has a large population and is still an important northern production area, so the benefits of getting it early are huge, not only have practical benefits, but also have great significance for the improvement of their own prestige.
