Guo Ye said with a smile: "Big brother, little brother is just a few jokes, I can't take it seriously, I haven't been in the army for a few days, where can I lead any army......"

He Zhengqing said with a straight face: "Yezi, this is a bad statement, if a person wants to be promising, first look at his knowledge, how high his knowledge is, how high his achievements will be, this is what Lord Admiral once taught me, the eldest brother is like this in this life, at most he is a general soldier, and it depends on his luck; You are different, you have extraordinary knowledge, you just joined the army and became a blockbuster, you have been appreciated by adults, plus your unique skills, there is absolutely no problem! Do you think that a person can rely on a few words to make the Admiral feel at ease and boldly take charge of the training of a military fortress like the North Battery? In other divisions, an army of less than 500 people, at most, is led by a battalion officer who does not enter the stream, but now I am a staff general in charge, and its weight can be seen! ”

Guo Ye nodded, high position and low allocation, whether it is in the political or military circles in the future, such things have happened repeatedly, and they have appeared in key positions, and the Dagukou Fort can be said to be the top priority.

He Zhengqing continued: "Okay, brother, since you have already planned, then handle it according to your opinion, just be responsible for training, and I will support you in all other things, don't worry about anything, this is the first task given to you by Lord Admiral, you must do it well!" ”

He Zhengqing is indeed an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, and he doesn't pay any attention to Guo Ye's victory over himself and loss of face, and every sentence is heartfelt, which makes Guo Ye's heart also hot.

Guo Ye replied: "Okay, big brother, don't worry, I will never let you down!" First, select 40 people from the army, 20 veterans, 20 recruits, all of whom must be under the age of 25, and those who are old are not old. You are most familiar with the people in the barracks, you must take care of it, you must be a real man! Second, drive all the soldiers who smoke big cigarettes out of the barracks, I don't want any of them! This is my first move of discipline! ”

He Zhengqing was taken aback and drove out of the barracks? This is not a trivial matter, you must know that now there are five thousand presidents under him, and two thousand generals are smoking opium, and as for the soldiers below, there are even more, and everyone is added together, I am afraid that there are no less than seventy or eighty people! All of them were expelled from the barracks, and there was no way to make a mutiny!

He Zhengqing hesitated: "Yezi, don't be such a heavy hand, after all, they are all old brothers, and the North Fort is a military fortress, and the soldiers are all double-paid, and many of them are sent in through relationships!" We're all expelled from the barracks, that will cause big trouble, and the strong dragon is crushing the head snake in the south, I'm afraid that we won't be able to move an inch in the army in the future......"

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Big brother, there are no rules, there is no square circle, opium has devoured all the spirit and spirit of these people, not to mention charging into battle, they are facing foreign devils, it is good to be able to not scatter their legs, it is already regarded as burning high incense, once more than a dozen people have a rout, then we will not be able to suppress the formation at all, rout, can only be our only ending, those who are sluggish, greedy for life and afraid of death, resolutely can't stay, a rat poop will destroy our pot of good soup!" ”

This one......

He Zhengqing was really embarrassed this time, if he said that he could expel one or two people, such a thing, he could do it, but to expel all the opium smokers, it was seventy or eighty people! The responsibility is too great, even if he is a general, he definitely does not have such great power to make such a decision!

Seeing that He Zhengqing was so embarrassed, Guo Ye sighed lightly and said softly: "In that case, eldest brother, why don't we write to ask Lord Admiral......

"What do you think?"

Monk Lingqin asked, holding the letter in his hand.

Shi Rongchun replied: "Monk King, let's not talk about the South Fort, only the North Fort, He Zhengqing's troops are nearly 1,000 people, a total of ten Xun, among which opium smokers, there should be no less than 100 people, accounting for 10%, some of them are recommended by some of the following generals or sent in through the back door, if they are all driven out of the barracks, I am afraid, those people will definitely make a fuss, and even sweep the face of those people behind, it is really difficult to be caught off guard......

Hum!

Monk Greenqin snorted coldly and replied: "Lin Wenzhong had already pointed out the danger of opium, destroying the human body and destroying the spirit of the people, and there was no one else who could do it, this opium should have been banned a long time ago, but unfortunately the imperial court was weak, and the Western soldiers were strong, so they couldn't be caught off guard, but we couldn't organize foreigners to sell it, so couldn't we organize the people to smoke?" Guo Ye is reasonable, Dagukou is an important place for national coastal defense, and there must not be a group of big smokers guarding it, since he wants to use the knife, let him move! ”

After receiving the military order from Monk Greenqin, He Zhengqing was happy when he boarded, and the old prince really gave face.

He Zhengqing said with a smile: "Boy, now that the problem is all solved, the rest of the matter is to see how you train, this time it has alarmed the old prince, your face is big enough, if you can't do a good job, none of us brothers will have a better life!" ”

Guo Ye replied: "Don't worry, big brother, I had a plan." The first step is to take military discipline seriously! I have already written a small excerpt on the training methods for this period of time, let's follow this rule, anyone who violates military discipline will be severely punished, and in the shortest possible time, the military discipline will be brought over to me, and it will only harm the common people's soldiers, and they are not worthy of being called soldiers! The second step is to train their courage, if the soldiers want to be truly courageous, they must be built on discipline, and without the restraint of discipline, that is, the guerrillas are scattered and brave, and the rabble! Our firearms are too different from those of foreigners, and if we want to win in battle, we need to be courageous! Unrelenting fighting spirit, big brother, if you can give me three months, I will let you see a completely different army! ”

In three months, the army can be transformed?

He Zhengqing really didn't believe that he had a deep understanding of the formation of the army's combat strength for many years! In three months, only the recruits can be trained decently, and as for the veterans, the problems of that body may not be able to be corrected! Those people are all thorns, this guy imagines things too simple!

He Zhengqing was a little unconvinced, and replied: "Brother, don't be too ambitious, three months, for an army, you can't do anything in three months!" If you say it, there's no room for maneuver! He Zhengqing replied: "Brother, in your opinion, how long will it take for these people to reach the standard of the brave division in your mind?" ”

Guo Ye pondered for a moment and replied: "In a year's time, you can definitely become a strong army, even the most elite army of the Qing Dynasty, it is nothing more than that!" It's a pity that we don't even have half a year, two or three months at most......"
