Jiugong has already returned to Tumenji. Well, it is the large original site outside the Tumenji Fort, and those houses and yards that are still intact are neat, this is the Tumenji.

Comrade Chen Guang, the head of the intelligence system of the Chen family who is now outside, is Chen Ming's good twelfth uncle, and that is the son of the Ninth Duke. At the beginning, Chen Guang left Lushan early, and after Zhoujiakou and Eighth Uncle Chen Liang dealt with the Chen family's big mess there, Chen Liang went to be responsible for arranging and contacting many of the Chen family's fugitives, and Chen Guang concentrated on taking care of the intelligence system. By the time Chen Liang finished dealing with the mess at hand, he had to pinch his nose and recognize Chen Guang's number one position at work.

[Actually, I wrote Chen Guang and Chen Liang away. /(愒o愒)/~~怑

Therefore, Jiugong's sense of existence is much lower than that of Qigong, Qigong and his son are the main persons in charge of the ornetics, but the weight of Jiugong is not worse than Qigong.

Chen Hui, Chen Ming, father and son are very troubled by this. Chen Hui, in particular, himself knew how much strength and how long it would take to overcome his fears of the Manchu court, and he himself was a good example. From Chen Ming revealing his tone to him, to completing the transformation of his thinking, he has been sleepless for many nights, and there are N more gray hairs on his head.

Thankfully, it doesn't have to be done right away, and there's still time to buffer. The biggest thing for the Chen family now is to kill the upcoming offensive of Guide Town and Yunyang Town. The former has already converged with the follow-up soldiers and horses in Chenzhou, and the latter has also detoured to Wusheng Pass, and now has arrived at Ruyang, the capital of Runing Mansion, and there is more than a hundred miles to Yuncheng.

The green battalions on both sides each dispatched more than 3,000 people, plus the militia groups assembled in Guide, Chenzhou, Runing, Gwangju and other places, and the requisitioned civilian laborers, there were more than 6,000 people on each side. This together is 12,000 bases, 13,400 people.

Chen Ming planned to take 4,000 people to meet the enemy, leaving 2,000 people to watch Lushan, Baofeng and other places. He took the main force to attack Yuncheng directly, and he couldn't wait for the Qing army to take the initiative to fight, if the Qing army relied on its own strong troops, divided its troops to take Wuyang, Yexian, Jiaxian, and even attacked Baofeng from Xiangxian, then the Chen army would be in trouble.

Yuncheng is located in the south-central part of Henan, belongs to the Huaihe River Basin, the middle reaches of the Dasha River Plain area, bordering Chenzhou Mansion in the east, bordering the Shahe River in the south, bordering Runing Mansion in the south, and Xuzhou [Xuchang] in the north, which can be said to be located at the junction of the state capitals.

The rapid expansion of the Chen family's army also seriously tested the Chen family's ordnance system. Fortunately, the Chen family's ordnance system has not slackened since retreating into Funiu Mountain, although their number is very small, but there is a water conservancy forging hammer and animal power forging hammer as helpers, and the efficiency is really very high.

When was the last time Chen Jiajun reorganized his team? It's only been a few days?

The Chen family's army of 2,000 people became 6,000 people. The musket corps was expanded into a battalion, the cavalry corps into a battalion, and the mine guard team into a battalion, although there was a serious gap in the formation of the mine guard. The tank team was brought out by Chen Ming, and the personal guard battalion changed from one to two, one for Chen Hui and Chen Ming. The gendarmerie was also raised separately, and unlike the tank corps, which was full, the gendarmerie became a gendarmerie battalion, and the number was expanded to three teams.

There are also reconnaissance teams, medical teams, and artillery teams, all of which have been promoted to battalion ranks, regardless of the real number of people. Only the sniper team has not changed much, but the specs have also been improved. Moreover, Chen Hui took the initiative to call for logistics, and then carefully made a few rifled guns. The shot that Chen Zhongda shot to kill Baoning was too important, and it directly changed the fate of Chen Jiajun!

The battalion under Chen Erbao was also completely filled, with four full teams, one of which was a spear team, with sixty muskets, a gun crew of thirty people and ten fast cavalry scouts, plus the logistics team, and Chen Erbao's personal soldiers, the number was straight to five hundred!

Chen Wenzan, Chen Jianbai, Chen Hongtao, Huang An, Gao Jinghui, Lu Long and others also became battalion officers, but the troops under their command were as fully equipped as Chen Erbao, and they still had a long way to go.

Therefore, in Chen Ming's eyes, if Chen Jiajun wants to be invincible to the Qing army, there is still a long, long way to go. Because even Chen Erbao, the head of the first-class main battalion of the Chen Jiajun, is only equipped with a sharp team, not to mention the quality of muskets and shotguns, the firearms of the Chen Jiajun are far lower than those of the Qing soldiers.

Don't think that the green battalion soldiers at this time are all armed with knives, although the quality of the Qing army's shotguns is declining year by year, but the proportion of shotguns in the army is increasing year by year. Half of the Green Battalion soldiers have shotguns.

If we want to talk about why the Manchus were so defeated when they fought against a crow, a very important problem is that the nationalized firearms manufacturing system is too corrupt, and the quality of all kinds of firearms has plummeted by 3,000 feet. In this regard, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was like the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the corruption of its own people disintegrated the foundation of its own army. [At least one of the problems]

Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom together, with a bird gun in their hands that was not even as good as a burning stick, and in the face of the Taiping army who dared to fight and kill with knives, they immediately softened their feet.

This is the biggest difference between China and Western society. In the Western society where the power of capital has developed, although the manufacture and casting of guns and cannons are partly held by the state, the power of capital is also deeply involved. They can ensure the quality of their weapons and, to a certain extent, the combat effectiveness of their own army.

If at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the weapons of the Ming army could reach the standards of the early Ming Dynasty, would the Manchu Qing Dynasty still be able to really rise in the Northeast? won again and again, and the spirit of the Ming army was not beaten at all.

Chen Ming can pack tickets to everyone, his own flintlock shotgun is definitely better than the arquebus shotgun opposite. But the number is too small, and Chen Jiajun still has to rely on the knife in his hand and the iron armor on his body to fight the world now. How can you get close to the opponent in the war, you can't count on all the shield cars, and there are still brains that Chen Ming has to burn.

The entire Chen family army was divided into four ranks, the slave laborers rescued from Ruzhou City, Yiyang, and Jiaxian, and the ruffians and hooligans who took refuge in all places, etc., wore rattan armor; The slave laborers rescued from Baofeng, Yexian, and Wuyang and the peasants who took refuge in various counties wore light armor; Some of the Chen family's arsenals are iron armor, and they can't be worn casually. Then came the second round of expansion of the troops-that is, the slave laborers rescued by Chen Ming from Lushan and Baofeng after the destruction of Baoning, as well as the mountain people recruited in the mountains with money and grain, these people were all veterans, and they were all approved for cuirasses; Finally, there is the Chen family's basic troops, the absolute descendant troops, all wearing iron armor. This so-called iron armor is the rattan armor on the back of the cuirass, the arms and the hem, and the rattan is nailed with iron pieces and leather.

The formation and expansion of the musket battalion, artillery battalion, gendarmerie battalion, cavalry battalion and left and right guard battalions naturally strengthened the descendant strength in the hands of Chen Hui and Chen Ming's father and son, but it also used too much manpower of the Chen family, so that the proportion of the Chen family's children and soldiers in the rest of the Chen family's army fell sharply. Chen Ming controls the troops, so he has a headache......

……

It's really going to die. The main station is six frequencies.,Just add such a little collection.,This result is not an ordinary shiver/(愒o愒)/~~

It's a shame that I still think I have a good recommendation this time, and I can quickly push the collection up to 4000.
