Chapter 488: Ma Yuanwu

On the night of May, the weather was pleasant, Li Chen was busy running on both sides, and he first talked to the elders of Longxi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This time I went to Beijing, there is Zhang Yichao's brother, Zhang Yitan, who was awarded the post of General Jin Wuwei, and will stay in Beijing after that. In addition, there are some local clans and famous people in the family who entered Beijing together.

On the one hand, they came to see the court, and they also had the intention of being hostages in Chang'an, like Zhang Yichao, who was appointed as the defense envoy of the sandbank, such a high-ranking official, naturally needed a personal hostage in Beijing, this is a common practice, and it is inevitable. And those families in Longxi who have made meritorious contributions in this return to righteousness have also been rewarded without waiting, so they naturally have to send hostages over.

However, it is not all hostages, some young people, such as Zhang Yichao's son-in-law, Li Mingzhen, went to Beijing to report on their work. His elder brother, Li Mingda, was appointed as the governor of the Hexi Jiedu and the superintendent of the imperial history.

He himself was also appointed as the Liangzhou Sima Inspection School Guozi Sacrificial Wine and the Imperial History Zhongcheng. After going back that time, Zhang Yichao immediately asked him to marry Zhang Huaiyuan, and he was also a double happiness.

After seeing these outstanding people on the sandbank, Li Chen rushed to another palace, a banquet was set up in the square in front of the palace, three thousand soldiers represented their comrades, and were invited by the emperor to a banquet.

Of course, other soldiers who are far away in Longxi cannot eat the royal feast, and they also have their own rewards. The war is not over yet, and it is not yet possible to return to the DPRK. However, there will be opportunities in the future, although it will not be like the heads of state in later generations, take the line of being close to the people, Li Chen's emphasis on the essence of the army will not change, and there will continue to be outstanding sergeants with outstanding performance who will accept Li Chen's "touch on the head".

According to the routine, Li Chen spoke, and naturally there was a representative of the soldiers to make a speech, well, of course, it is a modern routine. However, it is also quite popular in the Shence army, not because of bureaucracy, but when a soldier makes a mistake, he needs to write a review to review what he is wrong with.

Although not everyone can write, but it is always okay to speak, report it yourself, what is wrong with you, seriously speaking, this is more hated by the soldiers than the military stick, and it will be over after two times of pain with the military stick, self-examination? This is the second most annoying punishment after the little black room.

There is a review, so it is natural to express my feelings. Gao Biao, on behalf of the soldiers of the Left Army of Shence, made a speech, the content of which was also very simple, that is, to thank the emperor for his reward, and in the future, he would be more conscientious in his duties, for the country and the people, and he would work hard all night to be lazy. This made Gao Biao excited for a long time, although it was just a sentiment, but it was a very honorable thing to show his face in front of the emperor. What made him feel even more honored was that the next day, Li Chen also summoned him in the Ayaqi Palace.

Gao Yu looked nervous and followed a healthy woman and walked up the corridor. He was worried in his heart, he didn't know what Li Chen summoned him to do, but after looking left and right, there were still a few officers with him, all of whom were officers of Zuo Yuhou of the Shence Left Army. When it came to military affairs, he thought that there was nothing wrong with him, so the tension in his heart eased a little.

When I arrived at the Ayaqi Palace, it was still the conference room, and there were not only Li Chen, but also Li Deyu, as well as Wei Fu, the squire of the military department, Cui Yuanshi, and a veteran, Shi Xiong.

I didn't see another side of the old general, Liu Wei, because at the beginning of the year, he passed away and died at the age of sixty-seven. Originally, he was not young, and his long-term military career fell ill and he had already retired. After Li Chen ascended the throne, he was interested in side affairs, and constantly sent Fengyu to diagnose and treat him, so he continued his life so far, but finally at the end of last year, he couldn't hold on.

After several people sat down nervously, Li Deyu asked about the Battle of Hehuang. Hearing this question, Gao Biao became more relaxed, and began to explain in detail the process of their march, including how to intersperse, from Yuanzhou to Huizhou, and then how to learn about the atrocities of Phobia in Longxi, how the whole army was angry, and decided that the whole army sought a battle with Phobia.

The focus is still on that battle, in this battle, all the officers and men of the Shence Left Army showed amazing patience, perseverance, and fighting spirit.

Strict training, adequate nutrition, and perfect logistics allow them to maintain their combat strength after traveling thousands of miles. How to retreat without chaos under the oppression of the enemy, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, and finally lure the Tibetan army into an ambush.

And the sergeant Ruth who was in charge of cutting off the Tibetans, how to persevere, even if he suffered heavy injuries, he was still indomitable, ensuring to complete the order, and in the end he tried to escape for his life, and he collapsed in despair.

In this battle, the biggest loss is the broken rear army, and the biggest losses are generated in close combat. Our army's long-range firepower is sharp, and the power of strong crossbows is incomparable, if our army's strong crossbows can spread throughout the whole army, I am afraid that the Tubo people would have collapsed long ago. Gao Biao said.

This is also the reason why Li Chen decided to mass-produce muskets, and it has been proven that there is absolutely no mistake in suppressing with long-range fire. If this time the Shence army had enough muskets or crossbows, I am afraid that the Tubo people would have died in front of the position.

In addition, Gao Biao also reported some other problems. For example, in a melee, what if the commander dies and the replacement is a problem?

The Shence Army emphasizes discipline, and there is originally a setting, if the leader of a team dies, who will replace him. However, in the melee, it is difficult to decide who will be the replacement immediately. Sometimes, in the midst of chaos, the ranks are scattered, and the soldiers have to fight on their own.

Because almost all of them are newly recruited soldiers, and there is no too strict class division among soldiers, it is easy to appear that no one is convinced and everyone gets it. This is very detrimental to chaotic warfare.

However, it is best not to get caught up in a chaotic battle, the biggest casualties of the Shence army are all generated here, although the training is strict, but in terms of martial arts, it is still slightly inferior.

'Our army is scattered and invincible with strict and orderly attacks, and with crossbow arrows and thunderbolts, it can often easily defeat the enemy. If you can, strengthen the configuration of crossbow arrows, if you can have one in your hand, with a spear, the army of the dynasty will not be able to control it. ’

'How, guys?' After listening to Gao Yu's words, Li Chen asked Li Deyu and Wei Fu, as well as Cui Yuanshi and Shi Xiong.

'You can give it a try. Shi Xiong spoke first. Then, let's first organize and train an army, and then talk about it. Li Deyu also spoke, Wei Fu repeated, and Cui Yuanshi nodded. Seeing that several people agreed, Li Chen turned his head and said to Gao Yu, "I'll show you something first." ’。 I left the conference room first.

Gao Yu was inexplicable, they spoke very clearly, but he heard it very vaguely. But somehow you have to follow. He and a group of colleagues, followed by several prime ministers, and left the Ayaki Palace.

This walk, I walked to the edge of the liquid pool. A gust of breeze blows from the lake, sparkling on the surface of the lake, which makes people feel refreshed, and the willow branches by the lake swing, as if they are beautiful and graceful, Gao Biao wants to say this. He would rather look at the lake willows than the healthy women in the palace.

I really don't know what the emperor thinks, the palace people who serve the palace are actually gradually released, and now they are replaced by sturdy women, who are ugly, and they are also agile when they reach out, and they are white when they look at it, but the problem is that they are really not eye-catching, and they are not as good as a few of his concubines.

Soon, he didn't have much to think about, and a roar caught his attention. He had set up a few targets on the shore of the lake, and two guards were holding a device he had never seen before, thundering loudly, abusing them.

It was a weapon he hadn't seen before, it was supposed to be similar to a bow and crossbow, and it could be fired. Not to mention that the rate of fire is not inferior to that of bows and arrows, the range is also very long, and the power is also quite good. The important thing is that I couldn't see the arrow at all, so I heard a loud bang, and then in the distance, a large hole appeared on the humanoid target that pierced the Wenshan armor.

This firearm was really too sharp, Gao Yu couldn't take his eyes off it, and carefully stared at the operation of a few guards. The principle of this weapon should be the same as that of the Thunderbolt, but I didn't expect that the Thunderbolt could have such power by concentrating it in this small tube.

This weapon has the potential to replace the strong crossbow currently used, and the crossbow arrow can also resist, this kind of weapon that comes and goes without a trace, only thunder is left, and it is not human to resist.

'How?' Li Chen turned his head and asked Gao Yu, "Miaoa." Gao Biao gave a high-five, "This kind of weapon is very good, if it can be promoted by the whole army, who in the world can resist my Tang Xiongshi." ’

This kind of weapon, if it can be popularized in the whole army, is even more powerful than a strong crossbow, and the crossbow arrows can also be blocked, and the arrows can be seen. You can even dodge and parry, this kind of weapon, it's impossible to even dodge.

'I don't know what it is?' Gao Yu boldly asked, "Musket, you know the principle, the official name is the Zhongsi Musket." Li Chen said as he motioned to present the things that he had seen outside.

Gao Yu saw that a small dagger was attached to the tip of the musket. In the blink of an eye, a musket turned into a spear, "Wonderful, with this short dagger, I can use the musket in my entirety." ’

He couldn't help but high-five. With this short dagger, it was only possible to shoot muskets from a distance, but it was also able to fight in close combat. The biggest disadvantage of the strong crossbow is that it cannot be used in close combat, and it must be cooperated with other arms, even if it is a crossbowman with a sword on his waist, it is best to cooperate with the melee class. But with this dagger, his only concern was put aside, this musket, in all aspects, is much more perfect.

'Holy one, will you give it a try?' Gao Biao raised his hands and asked, Li Chen nodded, and Gao Biao started the first shot in his life under the guidance of the guards. He hit the target with the third shot, he has a foundation of bows and arrows, and it is not difficult to use this weapon.

Even, he was keenly aware that this weapon was even easier to train than a crossbow, he only needed to be familiar with the operation, and he could aim at the target, which was much easier than an archer.

When he finished the test firing and Li Chen asked him what he thought, he said truthfully, Li Chen nodded, glanced at Shi Xiong next to him, Shi Xiong also nodded, and Li Chen said, "I can see the potential of this weapon at once, and I trust you in vain." ’

'General I appointed General Shi as the general of the Right Army of Shence, General Gao as his deputy, and the Marquis of Zuo Yu of the Right Army of Shence, and concurrently served as the Marquis of Right Yu. Based on the Zuo Yuhou of the Left Army of the Divine Ce that you brought into Jingde this time, the team will be expanded to 6,000 within two months. ’

'General Gao, you have a great responsibility, and this is the first time that the imperial court has tried this kind of weapon, and all the details are perfected by you and General Shi, especially the use of bayonets. ''No. Gao Biao listened to the blood boiling, he couldn't imagine that he would have the opportunity to lead the army so soon, and he was trusted by the Son of Heaven and entrusted with important tasks.

However, he soon calmed down, General Shi, although his rank was one level higher than him, but his body and bones were not much better. Thinking about the new army training in the future, I am afraid that he will have to handle it single-handedly, which is not an easy matter. However, it also represents the Holy Family, which can't help but make him more motivated.

It was another spring night, and the young man, known as Dingde, continued to feast. He resisted the urge to hit people with a slingshot, put Mei Ji in his arms, and laughed and drank with the group of soldiers.

They are all under his grandfather's command, each with his own duties and generals, and they are as small as captains with a certain prestige in the army. As big as some generals with professional titles, they are all within the scope of his banquet.

The atmosphere of the banquet was warm, so that the eldest son of the handsome had a treat, and greeted everyone to have fun, and for a while there was no distinction between the upper and lower levels of respect and inferiority during the banquet, and the two cups of yellow soup were eaten down, and they became brothers to each other, whether you are a general or a captain.

However, unlike others, Ding De held a half-naked beauty in his arms, and he saw the dancing girl dancing the Heavenly Demon Dance in his eyes, but he thought that it was someone else, and he couldn't help but tighten his hand to get the jade rabbit, and almost regarded the person in his arms as her..., this night, it became deeper and deeper, and people became more and more stupid.

Finally, he let loose the woman in his arms, pressed it under him, and began to carry out the primitive movement of mankind, regardless of the other people in the hall.

Seeing this situation, the musician hurriedly opened the paper door and retreated, and the dancing girl in the lobby wanted to avoid it, but someone took the lead, and all the generals present drank high, and immediately learned.

'Shao Lang Jun has worked hard, and the soldiers in the army all say that Shao Lang Jun is the current Meng Wei and swears to support it. The next day, the hangover did not wake up, was woken up, drunk and confused, was pulled up from the pink arm jade body, hastily dressed, and got into the carriage.

He took the sobering tea, rinsed it twice, and spit it out, grumbling in his mouth, 'Why bother calling those soldiers and slaves, who else can they support besides me?' ’

In his opinion, it is really unnecessary to feast those sergeants, anyway, after he Aya's death, who else can sit in that position except him, his brothers are not very old, except for him, no one has come out to take any position, this is simply a safe thing, there is no need to win over these people at all.

It doesn't matter if he is holding the banquet, just do it with a happy and happy attitude, and the old eunuch in front of him has to instigate, otherwise he doesn't want to waste that time, and he has that time to hit people with a slingshot, which is even more painful.

'Please be patient with Shao Lang Jun, and when the great cause is completed, Shao Lang Jun will not have to endure these laymen, he can enjoy himself to his heart's content, and no one can control it. The person who spoke was Ma Yuanwu, Ma Yuanwu, who was nowhere to be found after the palace change. (To be continued.) )
