"He Aiqing, what do you think about the current war, but it doesn't hurt to say it; I have a lot of troops in the Qing Dynasty, and the guns are also sharp, why are the troops being defeated and retreating from all walks of life? ”

Guangxu asked this sentence because he really wanted to hear He Changying's opinion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Until now, Guangxu still doesn't understand, it stands to reason that the land of the Qing Dynasty is one hundred and ten times that of the small Oriental, and the population is seven or eight times that of the Oriental.

There is a standing army of one million, which is five or six times that of the Orient.

In particular, the Beiyang Army used imported Mauser guns and Krupp guns.

Of course, the imperial court was also richer than the Oriental.

Guangxu also heard a joke that in order to buy back the Yoshino ship, Toyo even their king Muhito was hungry and only ate one meal a day.

For the Qing Dynasty, it is to buy ten ships, spend 20 million taels, and there is no need to go hungry and eat only one meal a day.

So Guangxu didn't understand very much, you are so poor in the East, it's not good to farm and cultivate at home, and you are still going around with military force.

You must know that fighting a war is the most money-spending, and you can't eat well with this money, and you can't afford to be blind all day long.

Could it be that the king of the East is not in his right mind?

And what makes Guangxu even more unacceptable is that such a small country, a group of poor ghosts, fought from Seoul to Pyongyang, and then defeated the Daqingshui Division in Dadonggou and the elite of the Qing Army at the Yalu River.

He directly captured 4,000 Ming soldiers and Admiral Liu Shengxiu alive.

Then Phoenix, Xiuyan, Jinzhou, Yingkou, Haicheng, and all the cities fell, and now they have defeated Fengtian!

Why did you lose this battle so ugly?

Guangxu is really puzzled.

The ministers in the hall all pricked up their ears to hear the opinion of this little general.

He Changying thought about it and felt that it was okay to talk about some things, in history, it was because the Japanese army defeated the Qing Dynasty that the Qing Dynasty began to train troops at a small station, and practiced the six towns of Beiyang where the Qing Dynasty was buried.

"Now the imperial court is in Liaodong, and it is said that there are fifty or sixty thousand troops, which are roughly the same as the Japanese army, but most of them are new soldiers, basically useless waste snacks, and a thousand people cannot stop a charge of a 200-man squadron of the Japanese army; It's those veterans, who don't train well on weekdays, and many of them are cramming temporarily, pointing at these soldiers and ruffians to fight a good fight, and if there is a little adversity, they either run away or make an uproar. ”

He Changying's words were straightforward and ugly, but Guangxu listened very attentively, and felt that what He Aiqing said was exactly what he thought in private.

What is the use of temporary recruitment of new recruits except for filling the head? In the midst of a flock of sheep, a hungry wolf rushed in, and the flock was scattered.

As for those veterans, of course, they have been peaceful for a long time in recent years, and the Huai generals, under the protection of Li Hongzhang, are all lascivious and lascivious, and they eat empty salaries and slack training soldiers, so the army has no combat strength.

The soldiers have become ruffians who regard being soldiers as a breadwinner and mix silver.

"In this way, in the Liaoyang defense circle, the overall combat strength ratio of our Qing Dynasty and the Japanese army is roughly one to three, or even more! Therefore, Song Junmen and General Nie have been passively defending step by step, and they are unable to counterattack. ”

He Changying's words were very unpleasant, Guangxu, and the group of military planes kneeling below were all a little discolored.

One to three, isn't this clearly saying that the Liaoyang defense line may collapse at any time?

"He Aiqing is right."

Guangxu's heart was as uncomfortable as a fire, and he was full of hatred for the incompetent Li Hongzhang and a group of garbage generals under him.

"After talking about the individual combat strength of soldiers, let's talk about the joint combat between armies; A division of the Japanese army had about 20,000 troops during the war, and the two divisions formed an army. And our three or two thousand soldiers in the Qing Dynasty are under the command of one commander, and tens of thousands of troops can have more than a dozen general soldiers, with military orders and countermeasures, each doing its own thing; How to go undefeated? ”

With He Changying's sentence 'how to be undefeated', it made the study quiet and scary.

The reason why the imperial court is divided into many large and small commanders and general soldiers is that the purpose is clear.

Hearing that He Changying actually directly broke this matter, Guangxu's eyes couldn't help but stare slightly, looking at He Changying, who was honestly pouting his ass and lying on the futon.

"Is it a great loyalty, or a great traitor?"

Guangxu thought to himself in his heart, and asked cautiously: "Does Aiqing have a good plan?" ”

Lian Shun and Xu Bangdao, who were kneeling beside He Changying, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and prayed in their hearts that this young master would stop talking nonsense.

The two of them have already been labeled as He Changying, it can be said that they are both prosperous and lossy, if He Changying loses power this time, the two of them will have to go home to hug their grandson.

"You can learn from Germany, and first organize and train six to seven elite soldiers, each with a force of 12,300 troops; Strict training on weekdays, these 70,000 or 80,000 elite soldiers in wartime, two of which form a combat corps, are enough to resist the ambitions of various countries. ”

He Changying's words couldn't help but make Guangxu a little moved, and he asked quietly: "But whenever you train troops, there must always be a general who takes the gang to preside, does He Aiqing have a suitable candidate in her heart?" ”

In the upper study, everyone held their breath, even if a needle fell on the ground, they could hear it.

He Changying didn't seem to be aware of it, and continued to say loudly: "The person in chief, you don't need a general, as long as you choose a capable minister; The commander of the rest of the armies was appointed by the emperor himself, and the first army was dominated by the Eight Banners, guarding the Beijing Division, and the army commander could choose the imperial family to take charge of the army. ”

When I heard He Changying say, 'If you can choose a capable minister, you can do it', the atmosphere in the study suddenly relaxed.

And He Changying said, 'The Imperial Family is in charge of the army', and even Guangxu's face showed a heart-warming smile.

This He Aiqing is really a great loyal minister!

Otherwise, it will propose that the royal family is in charge of the army, this is a great way?

By the way, in his book, doesn't it already mention that Germany became a European power in one fell swoop because the imperial family was in charge of the army.

I shouldn't have doubted such a loyal servant!

For a while, Guangxu looked at He Changying, who was kneeling below, with gentle eyes, and his heart was full of apologies.

Guangxu smiled and said, "He Aiqing has been in Tongzhi for nine years, right?" One year older than me. ”

"Your Majesty, I didn't pay attention to this."

He Changying had no choice but to tell the truth, otherwise if Guangxu remembered wrongly, he would be stupid and should be turned out in the future, wouldn't it become a crime of bullying the king.

That's what a wrongful death!

The hall was full of surprise, and even Guangxu laughed 'haha': "He Aiqing is bent on killing enemies for the imperial court, and he has put everything he has out of the way, good, good!" ”

Guangxu is this slotted egg character, look at who is pleasing to the eye, no matter what the other party says, it feels very pleasing to the eye.

"You and I are young; Let's be a monarch and a minister, we must deal with it well, you will not live up to me, and I will never live up to Aiqing, and after a hundred years, I will also leave a good story for the world. ”

Guangxu looked at He Changying, who looked tall and burly and masculine even if he was kneeling, and he was almost moved by his own words.

"The emperor is wise!"

Suddenly, the palace was like a cloud.

After a while, the monarch and the ministers played right, and the tired He Changying sweated, but the sky was pitiful, Guangxu saw that the time was not early, and finally stopped the interrogation with great interest, and gave the banquet to the Renge.

As soon as Guangxu's holy mouth came out, not to mention Xu Bangdao, who was crying with excitement, Lian Shun and the two of them, that is, the military minister kneeling below, were all surprised and envious.

Even Emperor Weng Tongyi couldn't help but sneak a glance at He Changying.

This kid is younger than my eldest grandson!

Weng Tong sighed in his heart: "Looking at his words and deeds, it seems that he is a loyal person, if he can be a good blade in the emperor's hands in the future, it is worth making good friends and cultivating." ”
