"That's not the main reason!"

When the words of the Metropolitan Governor fell, Liang Yuqiu, who also wore the word "learning", looked at the Metropolitan Governor, this was the first time he heard the Metropolitan Governor's instructions so closely, although the Metropolitan Governor, as the principal, had gone to the Martial Arts Academy more than once, but it was a speech on the podium, which was completely different from the current occasion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Listening to the instructions of the Grand Governor, when Liang Yuqiu looked at those soldiers, he couldn't help but think in his heart, maybe these soldiers didn't know how lucky they were to be able to serve under the Metropolitan Governor, although the Metropolitan Governor's words said "silver", but his words did not hide his concern for the lives of the soldiers.

"Why are our soldiers not afraid of war now? Why are our soldiers so brave on the battlefield? Just because of the bereavement? ”

Shaking his head, Zhu Yifeng pointed at the soldiers below with the binoculars in his hand and said.

"Of course not, the reason why they dare to fight is because they know that the enemy is not their opponent, this belief in winning a hundred battles is the key to their courage to fight, is the source of their courage, and it is also the honor of soldiers, victory brings honor and courage to soldiers, but it brings arrogance to some people! But it is arrogant, but it does not know the height of the sky! ”

When he looked around at the dozen or so regiment commanders around him with cold eyes, Zhu Yifeng turned his attention to those officers and students with the word "learning" on their leaders, in the next few years, these officers who received eight months of training in the Armed Forces Academy will inevitably replace the old officers like Ding Lao Liu in front of him.

"Some people always think that the Qing army is holding a big knife, and always think that they can defeat them with only a row of guns and a bayonet charge, so we can also use red tassel guns, use red tassel guns to bayonet charge, after expanding the army by more than 100,000, we can fight whoever we want, no one has to be afraid, and the troops will not be overstretched, but can we be defeated?"

Can you afford to lose?

Liang Yuqiu looked at the Metropolitan Governor in surprise, and he looked at the classmates around him, their eyes were filled with some doubts. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, what can you not afford to lose?

Yes, what can't be defeated, not only Liang Yuqiu thinks like this, but others also think like this.

"See that chimney?"

Pointing to the chimney of the steam engine in the distance, Zhu Yifeng took a few steps forward.

"We are now building a factory in Wuchang, using a large number of steam ships, and then we will build a telegraph line from Guangzhou to Wuchang, and we will also build a railway, do you think there is no local resistance? Of course! ”

There may be no permanent conservatives in the world, and perhaps the most of them are speculators, but there is opposition to any reform, and tradition still influences the thinking of many people, and they will stubbornly oppose change until they really enjoy the convenience of modern technology.

"It's just that they don't dare to object, they don't dare to object, not because of Bendu's support for all this, but because there are guns behind Bendu, and the righteous army behind Bendu, a hundred battles are victorious, no one is invincible, today Bendu is based on Huguang, and he can take the world with this one day, so they don't dare!"

This was the fundamental reason why the Viceroyalty carried out the changes without being resisted, and the determination was partly due to the fact that, on the other hand, in the eyes of the local gentry, they could see the rise of a new dynasty, and at this time they had to take sides. Trying to maintain one's place in the new dynasty and not become a stepping stone to the new dynasty. This is precisely the fundamental reason why the gentry are now silent, not because they are not conservative, but because they are waiting! It is precisely because they are watching that they cannot afford to lose, and the rebels must win! Because for those people, they will always only follow the winner!

"Today's people, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty enslaved the foolish people to rule for more than 200 years, the backbone of China is almost completely lost, today's people are afraid of power but not virtue, so that men are ruthless, women are unrighteous, greedy for money, afraid of death, good face, so all kinds of deficiencies, all for the Manchu foolish people, this governor intends to recast the concept of the people, the morality, want to reopen my Chinese sun, moon and sky, must have the support of the gentry, today's gentry and ordinary people are no different, afraid of power but not virtue, blindly with virtue, will only be eaten by it, so, this governor can only rule the country by law, Educate the people with the law, and the gentry are not afraid of the official authority and the legal authority, but the military prestige of the governor. Therefore, they did not dare, but if the righteous army was defeated repeatedly, who would fear the might of the governor again? ”

Sober awareness!

Compared with the somewhat frivolous minds of others who are confused by the victory in front of them, Zhu Yifeng is undoubtedly clearer, he knows very well that he cannot be defeated, and he cannot afford to lose, and the consequences of any contempt for the enemy will be catastrophic. It is precisely because of this that he will beat the side drum for these officers and beat them, after all, Zhu Yifeng knows very well that the current rebel army seems to be caused by the front and is unstoppable, but in fact, the rebel army is still far from the standing army of the imperial powers.

If his army in the Manchu Qing Dynasty also adopted Western-style training and all used Western-style firearms, where would the advantage of the righteous army be at that time? If you are so arrogant now, then what is the difference between it and the Xianghuai Army in another time and space? I always thought that there was no rival in the country, but when I arrived in North Korea, I showed my prototype!

Arrogant!

It has always been the beginning of the decline of an army!

And Zhu Yifeng, as the leader, will never give this army a chance to be arrogant, let alone give those "veterans" any chance to "go backwards", if anyone wants to go backwards, then he will be eliminated.

Sitting in the carriage, Luo Bingzhang looked at the solemn expression of the Metropolitan Governor, and the words of the Metropolitan Governor in the camp before were ringing in his ears like thunder.

Why are you afraid of the power of the Governor anymore!

Fear of power but not virtue!

Words like these came to his mind like warnings, but he heard the Governor say as if to himself.

"Those people have to be eliminated!"

Although the words of the Metropolitan Governor were not loud, it seemed that he was talking to himself, but he heard Luo Bingzhang's heart trembling slightly, and he heard the meaning of the Metropolitan Governor's words, the people who wanted to be eliminated naturally referred to those who were slack or did not see the situation at all.

"Those who know the times are heroes, and those who change through the machine are heroes."

Those can be described as "veterans from the dragon", but because they don't know the current affairs and don't know the changes, they were eliminated by the governors, that is, the generals in the army can be eliminated because they don't know the current affairs. And what about a civilian official like him?

After thinking through all this, Luo Bingzhang finally understood that today's beating was not only beating the army, but also a government Chinese official like him, which also made him understand a truth - whoever dares to speak up, then Han Du will mercilessly take off his hat.

Those fierce generals in the army can still be like this, let alone a civilian official like him.

"It seems that when I go back this time, I have to learn foreign language and Naxi well no matter what! Learn to be thorough! ”

Thinking about it secretly in his heart, Luo Bingzhang no longer dared to be like in the past, just to know a fur, those generals in the army who would be eliminated, weren't they just because they only knew a fur, they would make such a big mistake?

The mistakes made by others must never be made again!

Zhu Yifeng didn't notice the change in Luo Bingzhang's mentality, and he also didn't realize what impact his previous beating would have on civil officials, frowning, and said to Luo Bingzhang while looking at the street scene of Wuchang outside the window.

"Ru Zhai, after returning to the mansion, you will start to formulate a preferential treatment method for military families,"

Because the army is his fundamental reliance, Zhu Yifeng will mention the preferential treatment of military families.

"Preferential treatment for military dependents?"

Looking at the Metropolitan Governor in surprise, Luo Bingzhang asked rhetorically with some confusion.

"Yes, it is preferential treatment for military families, such as exemption from military service, military families should be exempted from military service, after all, the laborers in the family have already served in the army, and if they are ordered to serve in labor again, it will be too unkind!"

In addition to taxes, the common people in China also need to serve hard labor, in addition to the repair of official roads, the repair of fields and canals, labor can be described as varied, even if the rebel army in some areas if the waterway is inconvenient, will also ask the local service to provide soldiers to ensure military needs, these labor is not only unpaid, but also need to provide their own food.

Although the common people now often pay money to be exempted from military service, and the Governor's Office has now issued an order to replace labor with exempt money in order to increase the income of the government and the government, there is still labor and it is always necessary to pay the exemption fee, and this part should naturally be exempted now.

"Well, there is also to help Bendu think of a way to improve the status of soldiers!"

When Luo Bingzhang was still surprised, Zhu Yifeng, who wanted to give preferential treatment to soldiers and improve the treatment and status of soldiers, continued.

"Can this be done, in addition to the exemption from hard labor, the tax on the acres of land in his family is also exempted? Well, military families are exempt from taxes, and if they are martyrs, they will be exempted from taxes for life, I don't know what Confucianism thinks? ”

Turning his head to look at Luo Bingzhang, Zhu Yifeng only saw that his face was full of surprise, as if he hadn't heard his words, but just looked at himself in surprise.

"Improve the status of soldiers, preferential treatment of soldiers, in the final analysis, or for the combat effectiveness of the army, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, no one knows whether this Yixun is an enterprising master, if it is really so, then I am afraid he will also use Western-style training, Western-style equipment, when the equipment can not be spelled, it can only fight training, quality, and bravery......

What do you think of this? Ruzhai? ”

Seeing that he was distracted, Zhu Yifeng asked in a louder voice.

"Ah......h

Luo Bingzhang, who was called back to his senses, was stunned at first, he immediately thought of the previous words of the Grand Governor, and quickly withdrew the meaning in his heart, and now he still tries not to challenge the idea of the Grand Governor.

"What the Metropolitan Governor said is extremely true, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty uses Western law to train troops, our righteous army can only win by strengthening training and uniting from top to bottom."

Luo Bingzhang's words were not dead, and he was even a little ambiguous, and he retreated and turned the conversation around.

"The Metropolitan Governor is worried about the capital now?"

"Worried?"

first nodded, then shook his head, and finally Zhu Yifeng sighed.

"I just don't know what Yixun thinks now?" (To be continued.) )
