Nie Shicheng and everyone came to the gun target, and several people picked up the gun target to watch.

"Shhh Everyone gasped. I saw that on the gun target, all the bullet holes fell on the bull's-eye, this is a moving target, and it is still a team member in the march to shoot, too powerful, five shots in a row, all of them are above the nine rings, and even five or six targets are all hit by ten rings, flawless!

"It's amazing, it's amazing! Brother Gongting, such marksmanship is rare in the world, covering the world, not to mention the Qing Dynasty, even the military quality of the elite of the armies of the Western powers may not have such a high level! Zuo Guigui changed four or five targets in a row, his face was incredulous, he was amazed again and again, and the other general soldiers were also amazed, and at the same time looked at Nie Shicheng's eyes full of envy and jealousy, this is a godsend, there are such fierce generals under his command, which general soldier is not thirsty?

Zhang Yi and Nie Shicheng faced repeated praise and thanked them repeatedly.

Everyone returned to the mansion, Nie Shicheng said: "Brother Guanting, my lords, although the military quality of the Japanese army is not as good as the blue wolf brigade, but compared with the training level of our Qing Dynasty, it is undoubtedly higher. ”

All the generals nodded yes, but there was a flicker between the words, after all, Nie Shicheng's successive victories had lowered their evaluation of the Japanese army by several levels, far less shocking than the Western powers.

Seeing this, Nie Shicheng knew that the general soldiers of all the families were a little unconvinced, a little perfunctory, and sighed helplessly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why our Qing army has so few cavalry?" ”

Zuo Guigui smiled: "I want to hear about it." ”

Nie Shicheng sighed lightly and said: "Everyone, in the first battle of Ashan, Ye Zhichao was defeated and died, and the camp at the northern foot was defeated, and most of his strength was lost. However, because our unit detected the Japanese night attack in advance, it was ready to make arrangements to wipe out the attacking enemy troops. At that time, the Japanese army was surrounded by our army in the middle of the mountainside of Asan Mountain, our army was condescending, besieging the Japanese army, Shanyi in order to break through, sent the Japanese cavalry to rush my front camp, I ordered the cavalry battalion to engage in battle, only ten minutes, more than 300 people in my cavalry battalion, more than half of them were killed, you know, at that time, our army was from the mountain to charge and attack, occupy a favorable position, still not the opponent of the Japanese cavalry, now, you know the Japanese army's toughness, right? ”

Zuo Guigui and other faces can't help but look at each other, Nie Shicheng's Lutai training army is well-known in the Huai army to be able to fight, and good at fighting hard battles, when the battle of Zhennan Pass, Nie Shicheng led the department, and the French army engaged, did not fall behind, and now the cavalry actually lost to the Japanese cavalry in the attack, and everyone couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Zuo Guigui hesitated: "In this way, the attack power of the Japanese army should not be underestimated?" ”

Nie Shicheng nodded.

Wei Rugui asked: "Then according to the opinion of the handsome, how should I deal with it next?" ”

Nie Shicheng replied: "At the beginning of Zhang Yi's military training, I had already appointed Zhang Yi as the chief instructor of the Korean armies, and asked him to take full responsibility for the training of the army. Now that the Japanese army is resting and preparing for war, I plan to temporarily appoint Zhang Yi as the chief instructor of the whole army, with full responsibility for the training of various departments, and try to improve the combat strength of our army before the war between the two armies, so as to prepare for the unexpected! ”

Zuo Guigui said with a smile: "Brother Gongting, Zhang Yi is a great talent, if it can unify the training of our and other departments, I think that the combat strength of the Qing army will inevitably improve, and the chances of victory in the face of the Japanese army will be increased." ”

Feng Sheng'a hesitated: "In this way, this is not in accordance with the rules, the armies were not subordinate to each other, but the war was imminent, and the imperial court ordered the unified dispatch of Nie Junmen, and the training was still controlled by the commanders of the various departments." Now that he has carte blanche to Zhang Yi on this matter, one has too much authority, and he doesn't know if Zhang Guandao can be promoted, and the other is that he has made a private decision without asking for a decree, which is not in line with the etiquette system, and he is afraid that he will be criticized by the imperial court. ”

Fengsheng Anai is a Manchu minister, and the Qing army under his command is also dominated by the Eight Banners, and his combat power is low, but it can also be said that it is the only few troops in the Eight Banners that can be handled. Let Zhang Yi, the newly debuted Hanchen, take over the training power of the department, and he can't help but hesitate in his heart, if this is known by the imperial court, it will be difficult for Lafayette to explain.

Zuo Guigui said: "Commander Fengsheng, there is a saying in the Han family that 'the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected,' now we are far away in North Korea, and the battlefield information is changing, and we will suffer a big loss if we do not adapt to the times." What's more, in the edicts of the imperial court and the lord of Zhongtang, it has been made very clear that the Korean war is all taken by Gongting and has the right to deal with it on the spot. The matter of training is exactly the matter of the Gong Pavilion, and there will be no dissatisfaction from the imperial court. Moreover, the matter of training was only an expedient measure, and once the war was over and the various ministries were reorganized, the matter would naturally be stopped. ”

Wei Rugui and Ma Yukun also responded.

Fengsheng Aben disagreed, but it was difficult to disobey the will of the public, and Zuo Guigui was reasonable, so he had to nod his head and agree.

Zhang Yi interjected on the side: "Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Yi has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Nie Shicheng said: "Zhang Yi, if you have anything to say, just talk about it, let's listen to it first." ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Ladies and gentlemen, when I was training the army, the Admiral ordered me to train at least 400 people to form an army, but I only promised to form an army of only 100 people, and the reason for this is that time is urgent, and it is difficult for me to do it alone. The same is true for training today. The Japanese army will soon come back, and it will not leave us too long, and I have limited energy alone, so it is really difficult to train too many men. Therefore, I intend to act in this way, and send thirty members of the Blue Wolf Brigade in groups of six to enter the camp of all the adults, and conduct strict training for the soldiers of each department to improve their combat effectiveness. I myself led ten team members to go to each department of your lords, select some elites, and personally train a group of blue wolf elites. The rest of the team members were led by the detachment leader under my command to go south to spy on the enemy situation and convey information about the Japanese army. ”

Wei Rugui frowned and said: "The rest of the things are easy to handle, but the only thing is to transfer personnel from various ministries and reorganize the blue wolf, this involves the issue of the establishment of various ministries......

Zhang Yi replied: "Lord Wei, the future Sino-Japanese war will not be limited to the battle of a few thousand people, now the Japanese garrison in Korea has approached 30,000, and is still increasing the number of troops, subordinates expect that within two months, the Japanese garrison in the DPRK may exceed 50,000, and after half a year, if we do not restrict the Japanese Navy in the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan, the Japanese army may increase its troops by 100,000. The total strength of the Sino-Japanese war will definitely exceed 100,000, or even more, close to 200,000. In such a large-scale war, the Blue Wolf Brigade, which is now less than sixty people, can play a smaller and smaller role, and the containment of the enemy army is becoming less and less obvious. If we want the Blue Wolf Brigade to exert its maximum combat effectiveness and be able to influence the Sino-Japanese war situation, we must expand it, knowing that it will be expanded to more than 1,000 people. At this stage, there should be at least 200 people! ”

"Two hundred thousand!" When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, this is an unprecedented war, if it really reaches that scale, then the current Korean army is afraid that it is only the role of cannon fodder, and the role that more than 10,000 people can play in a war of 200,000 is also very limited.
