Nie Shicheng paused slightly, and then said, "Now tell me what kind of help you need me to provide you?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "My lord, I need you to equip me with a few cavalrymen in the early stage to go to the overseers and supervise their training; In the later stages, I need you to provide me with a sufficient number of guns and ammunition. ”

Nie Shicheng replied: "Okay, as long as you can really train an elite soldier, no matter what you ask, as long as the old man can do his best, he will meet you." With that, he shouted outside the tent, "Someone! ”

One of the soldiers immediately entered the tent and said, "What do you command?" ”

Nie Shicheng said: "Pass my general's order, and order Zhao Shixiao, the battalion manager before the training army, and Feng He, the quartermaster commander, to see you immediately!" ”

The soldier replied, "Wow! "Turn around and go out to give orders.

In about a quarter of an hour, the two generals walked into the big tent and saw Nie Shicheng.

Nie Shicheng said: "Today I decided that Zhang Yi will organize and train a new army, with an establishment of 200 people, and the new soldiers and horses will be selected from the three battalions on the right before and after the training, Zhang Yi has the right to choose people, Zhao Shixiao, you need to cooperate closely and not delay!" Feng He, the equipment, ammunition, and logistical supplies needed for the formation and training of the new army will be given priority and must not be delayed! ”

The two looked at each other, unclear.

Nie Shicheng frowned and snorted angrily.

The two of them saw that Nie Shicheng's face had changed, and hurriedly claimed that Nie Shicheng's military law was strict, but the whole Qing Dynasty was famous, and the two of them did not dare to touch the moldy head.

Zhang Yi replied on the side: "My lord, the soldiers are not too expensive. The establishment of 200 people is too much, one of them is afraid that his power will not be enough, and the other will also waste his military strength. I propose that 50 people be selected from the training army to form a new army, and after special training, about 100 people will be eliminated, and about 30 people will be left in the end, and these 30 people will be a sharp knife of the Qing Dynasty in the future, and they will be invincible. ”

Nie Shicheng frowned, and said suspiciously: "Thirty people? What role can only thirty people play on the battlefield? ”

Zhang Yi replied: "My lord, this army will mainly carry out special military affairs, and will not appear on the frontal battlefield, and their tasks will be based on reconnaissance, reconnaissance, assassination, fixed-point clean-up, etc., through point strikes, destroy the key nodes of the enemy army, the goal is to destroy the enemy's command system, make the enemy's army malfunction, and change the balance of strength between the enemy and us through this means." If you want to train a large number of new troops, this is not a task that can be achieved in a short period of time, and it will take several years for an army to be formed, form combat strength, and condense the soul of the army before it can be successfully run-in. ”

Nie Shicheng nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied: "What you said is true, but the number of thirty people is too small, once there is a loss, it is not easy to replenish personnel, you can keep twenty people among the eliminated personnel, and replenish the battle damage at any time." ”

Zhang Yi nodded yes.

Nie Shicheng said: "Without further ado, this afternoon, Zhang Yi will return to the camp with Zhao Shixiao to select personnel, and Zhao Guandao can also recommend according to your understanding of your subordinates." ”

Zhang Yi originally belonged to the training sequence, but now he wants the management of the third battalion of the training army to cooperate with him, a subordinate, to select and train soldiers, Zhao Shixiao is really a little angry, and he doesn't have the face to see all the colleagues in the training army when he goes back, let alone look up among his colleagues in the future, and he won't be laughed at to death.

Nie Shicheng led this male army to fight in the south and the north, he was a lion in a hundred battles, and the generals under his hands were also accustomed to flying and arrogant, so let them cooperate with a recruit to train in this way, no matter what, they would not be convinced, Zhao Shixiao was full of fire, and Feng He's face was not good.

Zhao Shixiao clearly saw the helplessness and ridicule in Feng He's eyes, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, so he bowed down and asked: "My lord, the formation and training of the new army is a major military event, and it is the foundation of a strong country's defense, and his subordinates naturally fully support it." It's just that such a military event, how can a recruit who has been in the army for less than half a year preside over it, isn't it a clear mistake! The humble ranks are all fought with you on the battlefield, and the time is short for more than ten years, it's not that the subordinates say a big word for their colleagues, in the Qing Dynasty, each of the pipes and bands under the adults is first-class, even if you want to train the new army, it is also our pipes to handle it for you, and the militaristic affairs are not playful! ”

Nie Shicheng's face suddenly sank after hearing this, and he said slightly angrily: "What? Do you still want you to question what the old man does! At the beginning, you just joined my command, aren't you also a rookie egg! At that time, did you know what kind of military strategy? In just three years, I promoted you to battalion deputy, and after another two years, I promoted you to battalion officer, and now you are already a guerrilla general, why? Because you are older, there are older than you, and my subordinates don't just put old fritters with seniority! ”

In the face of Nie Shicheng's anger, Zhao Shixiao's scalp tingled for a while, so he had to reply stiffly: "My lord, I don't dare to be humble, Zhang Yi is less than twenty years old, and I am afraid that his talent will not be enough to take on this important task, after all, the formation and training of the new army is a big deal, and it is not a child's play, and adults can't entrust him with such a heavy responsibility just based on a few words of joke......

Feng He, who was on the side, saw that the situation was a bit deadlocked, after all, he had been under Nie Shicheng for many years and had a deep friendship, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, what Brother Shixiao said is not unreasonable, the military affairs are not ......."

Nie Shicheng frowned slightly, a little hesitant in his heart, after all, most of the things like the formation and training of the new army will be handed over to the most important and capable generals under his command, and he will directly appoint Zhang Yi, I am afraid that regardless of Zhao Shixiao, most of the other pipe bands will not be convinced. If these people don't contribute to work at that time, they will delay things, after all, they can't always keep an eye on it. However, this Zhang Yi is indeed a rare talent, and his vision is still above himself, not to mention the generals he brought out, this is what Nie Shicheng values the most, and he can bring different things to the new army.

Over the years, these generals under his command have fought with him in the north and south, and they will win every battle, which has gradually contributed to their unseen and invincible personality, and it seems that they should be sober.

Nie Shicheng groaned a little and said, "Shixiao, I know that letting Zhang Yi train and letting you cooperate is a bit embarrassing, and I also know that your ability is not bad." Since you have doubts, then I will let you compete in the last game, if you win, then the motion just now is abandoned, but if you lose, see what else do you have to say? ”

Zhao Shixiao was overjoyed, bowed down and replied: "My lord, the humble post has not been idle for more than ten years, if the humble post loses, the humble post will no longer complain, and he is willing to give up the position of battalion official to Zhang Yi!" ”

Nie Shicheng nodded slightly, and said to Zhang Yi: "Young man, whether you can train a new army for the old man depends on your own ability, Zhao Guan's ability is also one of the few in my camp, tomorrow in the martial arts field, don't let the old man down......"

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, if he wants to show his ambitions in the army, this hurdle will be passed sooner or later. Immediately, Zhang Yi bowed down and replied: "The lowly position is willing to compete with Zhao Guandai, if the lowly position wins, as long as Zhao Guandao cooperates with the lowly job training, the lowly position will never dare to ask for it!" ”

Zhao Shixiao snorted coldly and said: "Boy, I know that you have some ability, in the future, the position of the pipe belt will definitely not be able to run, but if you want to win the pipe belt, I am afraid that you will have to practice for another ten years and eight years, and you are not enough to see it now." ”

Nie Shicheng said angrily: "Don't play tricks in front of me, who is high and who is low, tomorrow you will know the difference by teaching the military field to compete, just forget about the marching formation, governing the country, etc., Zhang Yi may not be able to win even if he is an old man in this regard, tomorrow you will judge the victory or defeat with your fists and feet." Ordered all battalions to assemble in the military field early tomorrow morning to watch the competition together, and now they all retreat. ”

When they heard this, they hurriedly bowed and bowed, and withdrew from the tent.

Outside the handsome tent, Feng He smiled at Zhang Yi and said: "Young man, I guess you also know that you Zhao Guan has the nickname of 'Crazy Tiger', this guy's eyes are red as soon as he enters the battlefield, he doesn't recognize his six relatives, and he has a kung fu of Bajiquan, and there are few opponents in the army, so you have to be careful." ”

Zhang Yi smiled indifferently and arched his hand: "Thank you Lord Feng for your care, the kid knows in his heart, and he will need more advice from Lord Zhao on the martial arts field tomorrow." ”

Zhao Shixiao shook the sleeves of his robe and snorted coldly: "Boy, don't say I didn't remind you, tomorrow's competition, I will never show mercy to my subordinates, you better do it yourself!" ”

With that, he walked away.
