It is difficult for people in later generations to understand the thinking of people in this era, and what seems to be extremely simple and natural in later generations has often undergone such arduous and long evolutions in history.

In the early days, the simple firecrackers could not play a decisive role in the entire tactical system, so there were phalanx tactics that combined firearms and cold weapons in actual combat, the Spanish phalanx in the west, and the mandarin duck formation of the Qijia army in the east, all of which were tactics that military strategists had to adopt in the early firearms era.

The "all-firearms" tactic shocked the officers who came to inspect it, and before that, the officers of this era could not even imagine how an army could fight without cold weapons.

No one in this era could see the future, and before the appearance of the line infantry, no one knew what the tactics of the real flintlock age were, and when Li Zhe showed all this in front of the officers, this transformation brought a huge psychological impact to these people.

If this can be done, no one will dare to say that Li Zhe is a scholar who does not know the military, no matter how specific and practical the gun array Li Zhe puts out is on the battlefield, just this array is displayed, and Li Zhe's military quality can definitely be recognized by most people.

"What kind of gun are you using?" Shi Xiu, the commander of the second regiment, couldn't wait to rush up to take a gun from the soldiers, he went to grab the gun, and the soldier was in the middle of the exercise, when he suddenly ran into a person rushing up, and almost didn't shoot the projectile in the gun in Shi Xiu's face.

Shi Xiu grabbed the soldier's flintlock pistol, but the soldier instinctively held his firearm tightly, the army's teaching to the firecracker is that the gun is in the person, and the gun is destroyed and killed, so although the soldier knew that this was the officer who came down to inspect from above, he also held his gun tightly from instinct, and refused to let go.

Shi Xiu rashly grabbed the gun, but ended up in a stalemate with a soldier in the queue.

When Li Zhe saw it, he couldn't help but laugh.

My God, these officers in the Japanese army are so virtuous.

In the end, Ma Zhong stood up and stopped the drill, ordered the soldiers to let go of the gun in their hands, and handed the gun to Shi Xiu. But Ma Zhongna is also a sincere person, and he is not polite to Shi Xiu with a black face.

"Sir! Although you have come down to inspect, you must not rush into the ranks, and if you interrupt the ongoing drill without authorization, you shall be punished with caning according to military law! ”

Ha, Li Zhe really obeyed this Ma Zhong, he didn't have to come forward here at all, Ma Zhong did all the things that offended people.

Lu Xuan and his party were all pale when they were made by Ma Zhong. But there is no way, the military is strictly disciplined, and it is taboo to rush into the army, even if Lu Xuan comes in person, he can't say that what Ma Zhong said is wrong.

However, this group of people are all high-ranking officers, especially Shi Xiu, who is still the commander of the regiment, which is a lot higher than Li Zhe and Ma Zhong, and if the commander of the regiment is punished in front of everyone, it will be a loss of the boss.

What's more, this is still the person he Lu Xuan brought, if this punishment is really executed, it won't be a whip on his Lu Xuan's face!

Lu Xuan's face was dark, and his eyes were so wide that he wanted to burn Li Zhe to ashes. All the officers felt that their faces were gloomy, but the person concerned, Shi Xiu, felt that it was nothing!

"Hey! You Ma Zhong, you don't even give me face! But today you are right, there is strict discipline in the barracks, and what should be punished is to be punished. ”

Shi Xiu looked at Ma Zhong as if he had seen the right eye.

Let a group of people be speechless.

Li Zhe finally found a chance to speak,

"I said, there is strict military discipline, but the regimental commander is not intended to offend, today's occasion is not appropriate, I think this flogging will be written down for the time being, how about it."

When Shi Xiu heard this, he immediately felt that Li Zhe's words were good, and successfully helped him to bring the words back.

"Boy, then you are Li Zhe, hehe! Yes, yes, I, Shi Xiu, remember your feelings. ”

As soon as these words came out, this group of officers felt that Li Zhe was good, and Li Zhe helped Shi Xiu save face, that is, he helped everyone present save face. How could such an informed and interesting person be such a domineering son of a gentleman who some people say.

Some people are a little too out of the ordinary!

On the balance in the hearts of the officers, the weight was another layer to Li Zhe's side.

Lu Xuan looked at Li Zhe being a good person there, and he was even more angry in his heart, and shouted:

"Li Zhe, Li Yuhou!"

"In!"

Li Zhe hurriedly responded.

"I said, who told you to change the guns of your subordinates without permission? Where did all your guns come from, after a division or not, you changed guns without verification, without audit, such a military heavy weapon, without the approval of your boss, if something happens, who will bear the responsibility? ”

Lu Xuan scolded Li Zhe with his head and face.

Li Zhe couldn't change the gun without authorization, and it was not approved.

This is indeed a taboo in the current army, you must know that he is not in someone's private army, but in the official army of the imperial court, the equipment of the official army, all of which have passed the verification and audit of the department for many years, and I don't know how many procedures have been gone through before they can finally enter the army and become a standard weapon.

It is impossible for anyone to come up with any weapon that can be used by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and the standard weapons used by the officers and soldiers are the first consideration of stability, efficiency, and the logistical efficiency of the imperial army.

The era of bringing their own guns and equipping them with horses and following their lords to fight on the grassland is over, and the current court officials and soldiers have strict rules and regulations, and the pursuit of standardization can ensure that the Song army is always the elite of this era.

Although Li Zhe's move may really improve his combat effectiveness, it is not advisable to praise the Japanese army.

At this time, Shi Xiu, who had been holding the snatched gun and kept silent, suddenly interjected:

"However, it has been 30 years since I held the last time the Japanese army changed guns, and since I entered the army, this gun has not been changed, and now the new guns outside have already improved a lot, far better than our standard guns, just like the guns in my hand, the design is exquisite, and the end is a good gun. I think it's pretty good, and it's worth considering changing it. ”

"What?"

Lu Xuan was not afraid that Shi Xiu would stand up and say such things, this Shi Xiu, standing up at this time, did he want to speak for that Li Zhe?

Lu Xuan looked at Shi Xiu fiercely, but Shi Xiu didn't seem to care when he saw it.

"You have also seen the power of this firearm just now, and I think it is also necessary to study and study this new formation used in the Wudu exercise, not to mention anything else, just abolishing the spearmen and replacing all the firearms, I think it is a good initiative. I think we should let the generals also come and see if we can try it, and if it really works, then it will be great to be able to improve the combat effectiveness of our army. ”

Shi Xiu spoke to himself, but he didn't see that Lu Xuan, who was standing opposite him, was already pale, and before he finished speaking,

"No! Absolutely not! It's nonsense! ”
