Back in Qingzhou, it was already the middle of March of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. Something happened in between. Zhang Xianzhong conquered Shucheng. Shucheng did not have a county order, and the general Kong Tingxun and Hu Shouheng led the people to defend it. After the court trained and surrendered, it was to teach the enemy to use the car cave city, the city wore several places, and the people were kept and supplemented. Zhang Xianzhong shot a book to make him surrender, and burned his book in the city.

When Li Long returned to Qingzhou, Zeng Hualong, the governor of Shandong, sent a message to Beijing on Pegasus to report the victory, and at the same time truthfully reported Li Long's military exploits. When Chongzhen saw such a great good news, he was overjoyed, and the holy decree was immediately issued. Canonized Li Long, Shandong General Army. The official was promoted to two levels, the generals under his command, the garrison Zhang Cheng, and Chen Jixiang were promoted to two levels as a general. Liu Shupei, the former garrison of Qingzhou City, was also meritorious, and he was promoted to two levels as a general. The other five thousand commanders were promoted to one level as garrisons......

After returning to the garrison in Qingzhou, Li Long also rewarded his soldiers separately, according to the number of heads killed, and a population of ten taels of silver. Take heads in exchange for money. The pillar was treated as a special treat, and let him be the commander of the fire gun.

The official position of the chief soldier is much higher than that of the general. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the general military officer was originally the name of the dispatch, no grade, in case of war, the general soldier Pei will be printed to fight, and the matter will be returned, and then gradually become a resident military attaché. But the current general army is different from that of the early Ming Dynasty, and the generals are beginning to be popular. Therefore, the general soldier also has a grade, which is the second grade.

The general army of Shandong can be the governor of all military affairs in Shandong, and the governor Zeng Hualong is on an equal footing. Zeng Hualong wrote to ask if he wanted to move the Yamen of the General Army to Yanzhou, the capital of Shandong. Li Long refused, he knew that if he moved to Yanzhou, he would not be able to make his own decisions about many things. And in Qingzhou, he is the biggest, not to mention that he can control the entire Shandong in Qingzhou.

Li Long called Xiang Ming early the next morning, and when he asked about the land reclamation, he also called Zhao Zichong and asked about the mining operation. Now that the whole of Shandong is under the jurisdiction of Li Long, he told Wang Ming to look farther. Laizhou, Dengzhou, Wuding, Caozhou, Dongchang, Jinan and other places have been reclaimed for land. Strive to attract more people. Zhao Zichong is the same, the minerals of the entire Shandong are mined by you. But be sure to give me results within half a year.

Li Long was about to rest, when suddenly Wang Guangfu pushed the door in and said, "Lord Commander, I have brought the treasure of Mount Tai, a total of seventeen million taels of silver, and another great surprise."

Seventeen million taels of silver is enough for Li Long's surprise, and there are even bigger surprises. It's really shit luck today. Hurriedly asked: "Wang Shoubei, tell me what the surprise is?"

Wang Guangfu said mysteriously: "When people come, you will know."

"Come in," Wang Guangfu commanded

At this time, three people walked in, yes, it was the resurrected Mr. Xu, Mr. Li and Mr. Wang.

Xu Guangqi took the lead and said: "Congratulations to the general on his promotion to the general soldier, and once again made a miraculous feat, which is really admirable to the old man."

"A certain Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao and Wang Zheng have seen the Shandong General Soldier," Xu Guangqi said and knelt down. ，

After Li Long heard the names of Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, and Wang Zheng, his eyes lit up. Heart: My grandfather, what's going on today, good things come out one after another, but it's a pity that there is no ** lottery now, otherwise it will definitely be in the middle of five million. Li Long is really familiar with Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, and Wang Zheng in the Ming Dynasty.

Lee Ryong is wearing a collar and a hat. Get off the desk. personally helped the three of them and said cordially: "The three contemporary Confucians can come to the Humble House, it really makes the Humble House shine, please take a seat, come here, and serve tea!" ”

After Li Long waited for Xu Guangqi and the others to sit down, he asked someone to bring a small bench and sit under Xu Guangqi. Show respect for Elder Xu.

Xu Lao took a sip of tea and praised it. Li Long smiled: "Old Xu, you are so free to come to Qingzhou.?" ”

Xu Guangqi told Li Long about what happened that day, and then said that the three of them were willing to stay in Qingzhou to help.

This good news made Li Long overjoyed, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Guangqi and the others. Xu Guangqi was taken aback, the dignified chief soldier, how can you kowtow to me, a person who has been removed from official positions...... The two sides returned the salute......

Li Long expressed his idea that he wanted to set up a science club, a school, and a military academy...... All three units are located in Qingzhou. The Science Club is managed by Xu Guangqi. and formed his own shogunate...... These matters will be discussed tomorrow at the Yamen of the General Army......

The next day. Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Wang Zheng, Zhao Zichong, Wang Ming. Pillars, staff generals Zhang Cheng, Chen Jixiang, Liu Shuyuan. Garrison Zhang Songsong, Fan Qing, Zhu Fulei, Wang Guangfu, Yin Tuokun five people. and Yang Dali, the commander of the guard platoon, all came to the Yamen of the General Army. The chief soldier Li Long has been waiting for a long time, and the personnel have finished taking their seats...... The deliberations began......

Li Long took the lead and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to establish a science club, a school, and a military academy...... To improve the military strength of Shandong, how do you think these three departments should be divided? ”

Seeing that no one spoke, he stood up and said: "Lord Commander, three gentlemen, I think the strength of the current military is the morale and training of the soldiers on the one hand, and the quality of weapons and equipment on the other hand. Artillery is one of the most powerful weapons now, but unfortunately the cost is too expensive, the production cycle is too long, I heard that the casting of a captive cannon from the beginning of the mold, to the iron casting has to wait half a year,,,,,"

Before he finished speaking, Li Long interrupted him and hurriedly said: "Half a year is too long, look at the current momentum, the Qing army has conquered Songshan outside the pass, and the Ming army is retreating one after another, I estimate that the Qing army will be killed in Shandong in less than half a year." At that time, our cannons will still be modeled in the dirt, how to fight,......? ”

"So you have to find another way" Wang Guangfu received、、

Everyone thought for a while, and Li Long suddenly said: "First set up a ballista factory, and then upgrade the city wall defense of each province in Shandong to a stone wall"

Xu Guangqi touched his beard and exclaimed: "Yes, even the most basic siege ballista needs a special ballista workshop to make large crossbows to increase the power of firing, the ballistas need to be assembled in the factories, but the ballista troops need to be trained in the barracks, because only the barracks can provide enough open space to realize the training of crossbows...... You must know that a powerful crossbow arrow can snipe enemy generals among thousands of troops, which is a good choice...... But I didn't know the design of the ballista, how to design it? ”

Li Long remembered that his laptop had never been useful, it contained encyclopedias and design drawings of various weapons, as long as he opened the computer and found the design drawings of various weapons, he could let several great scientists make weapons. So he said: "I'll solve this problem, I will provide the drawings of any weapon, and I'll find someone to send it to you at noon tomorrow......"

Li Long said again: "The ballista factory will be managed by the Academy of Sciences, and the president, Mr. Xu. How is it? “

Xu Guangqi said: "Dare not obey your fate"

The pillar seemed to think of something at this time, and he was eager to say. But I didn't dare to ...... Secretly look at Li Long. Li Long had already seen the pillar's eyes looking at him. Hand Yi asked: "Brother Zhuzi, if you have any good ideas, just say it"

Then the pillar stood up and said, "Build the road."

Li Long was also shocked and asked, "Build the road, how to build the road, build the road there?" ”

The pillar replied, "Build a stone road to connect all the provinces, prefectures, and counties of Shandong Province." In this way, there are smooth roads, which have many benefits for Shandong, which has a large area, such as making trade and transportation more convenient. It can quickly improve Shandong's economic strength. And a good road can quickly mobilize the army, if Wuding Mansion is attacked by the Qing soldiers, it only takes one day for our army to send troops from Qingzhou, and it can be killed...... In addition, I think it is necessary to improve the defense of the city wall of the capital city of Shandong Prefecture and erect an arrow tower on the city wall."

Li Long thought about it, felt that it made sense, and said: "This idea is good, you are ruthless and smart, and I will now announce that you have been promoted from President Qian to General Travelogeon,"

"Yes, the walls of Gundam, the gates of steel, can make siege vehicles useless, and the height of the ladder cannot reach the top of the wall, only the siege towers can get close to the walls, but the siege towers are very bulky and move slowly. If you erect an arrow tower on the city wall, you can shoot the siege soldiers intensively, because of the threat of the arrow tower, the attacking troops have to be forced to deploy outside the range of the arrow tower, oh, by the way, I think we should use the Franc cannon in the arrow tower, so that the arrow tower can be upgraded to a turret. , so that you can concentrate your fire on the enemy's siege towers and kill the enemy with dense firepower. Li Long added

"Regarding the defense of the city wall, I will hand it over to Senior Li to deal with, and the General Military Office will allocate 200,000 taels of silver to buy stones to repair the defensive city wall and turrets," Li Long commanded

"Yes, General Zun," Li Zhizao replied

"Anyone else you'd like to add?" Li Long continued to ask, he didn't want to discuss one ballista and one city wall this time.

"If you don't say anything, I'll say a few words," Li Long said, "we should rest our barracks and train a special forces, which are the troops of some countries in the world that are responsible for destroying the enemy's important political, economic, and military targets and carrying out other special tasks." In general, it is under the direct command and leadership of the highest military command organ, and in a few countries, it is led by the Ministry of Defence or the armed services. It has the characteristics of flexible establishment, capable personnel, excellent equipment, rapid mobility, well-trained, and strong combat effectiveness. Its main tasks are: raiding and sabotage, assassination and kidnapping, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, stealing intelligence, psychological warfare propaganda, special security, as well as anti-subversion, anti-agent, anti-sneak attack and anti-hijacking. Personnel with strong physique, resourcefulness and bravery, a high level of education, a spirit of dedication, and a certain degree of combat experience are generally selected from reconnaissance units and airborne units. Li Long said endlessly

Everyone seemed to understand, and they nodded one by one. "Leave the matter of selecting special forces to me, and I will complete the task to the fullest," General Zhang volunteered

"How to select special forces, maybe you don't know much about it, I will personally select this matter" Li Long rejected Zhang Cheng's proposal and gave himself a step down...... After all, the selection of special forces is very strict, and Li Long does not want Zhang Cheng to select some relatives and soldiers, relational soldiers, and old soldiers......

"In addition, the ballista workshop has to be upgraded from time to time, and it is necessary to create trebuchets, stone throwing vehicles and catapults...... In the future, when the conditions are good, I will also make exterminating artillery, siege artillery, and long-barreled cannons, and I will provide these drawings to the Academy of Sciences one by one, and the General Military Office will allocate 500,000 taels of silver to the ballista factory. Li Long continued

Although everyone didn't understand what Li Long said about these advanced weapons, everyone admired him, felt that his knowledge was also outstanding, and they were even more obedient to his arrangements......

"Offensive weapons alone are not enough, our army should have defensive weapons, such as armor to be strengthened" The person who said this was Chen Jixiang. He had a deep understanding of the armor's defense when he commanded the phalanx of super-long spears, and the attack power of super-long spears in narrow areas was really powerful, especially after forming a phalanx. However, in the last battle of the Yanzhou city wall, because the super-long spear was wearing thin clothes and no armor, thirty-three people died. The main cause of death was arrow wounds.

The powerful spear phalanx could not resist the fire of dense bows and arrows, so Chen Jixiang proposed to increase the defensive power of our army's armor...... Now that you have money, anything can be promoted.

Li Long also knew that the casualties of the pikemen were caused by the lack of armor, so he readily agreed to build an armor factory and find 500 workers...... Blacksmith preferred. Mainly used to craft armor......

Li Long said: "The full-body plate armor created by the outstanding armor master is not only used but also beautiful, and each part of the armor is specially created with a certain arc to cut through the enemy's attack, and each armor master tries his best to create beautiful armor...... The armor factory is the last barrier to protect the life of every soldier, so I will also invest the most money in the armor factory, and the general military government will allocate two million silver. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "I know the plate armor, in the early years when I was playing in the Franc machine, I saw the plate armor worn by Westerners...... Plate armor is a type of armor made of large, plate-shaped metal that has been shaped, as opposed to scale armor and armor made of chain mail made of a large number of tiny metal rings and small metal sheets. Early arquebuses, swords, spears, axes, and ancient bows and crossbows were not effective against plate armor. This ushered in a new period in history, in which experts worked day and night to develop a large number of strange new weapons. Only a smoothbore gun can resist plate armor...... But plate armor is particularly expensive......"

Li Long smiled: "How much money you want, I will pay ...... First, take 2 million taels of silver to build plate armor...... The drawings of the plate armor will also be given to you,......, in addition to the plate armor, we also need to create some ordinary fish scale armor, etc., for the general soldier to use. Try to make a thousand sets of plate armor first. I want to form a force that is strong on foot. When we have Western war horses, we have to build a powerful iron horse...... Wear plate armor along with the warhorse. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "At that time, a soldier in plate armor in our army and the Qing soldiers cut each other, and the Qing soldiers could not hurt our army, and our army could easily kill the enemy...... The expulsion of the Tartars is hopeful" Xu Guangqi looked worried about the country and the people, and felt that following Li Long was the right person.

Li Long thought about the school's affairs and said, "Mr. Li (Li Zhizao), as the principal of the school, Mr. Wang Zhengwang will follow Mr. Xu to develop new armor and new weapons...... The school was officially named Shandong Military School, what do you think?"

"The cadets of the military academy let every cadet appreciate the majesty of the military order, and the young people with potential in the army should come to the military cadets to learn the techniques of command, and at the same time let the most advanced weapons ideas be integrated into their daily lives in attack and defense, and the country must have such organs," Li Long stressed

Xu Guangqi doesn't think so, the Military Academy is a country, how can he build it as a general soldier, isn't this a rebellion...... Could it be that Li Long has another deep meaning?

"If you have any suggestions, let's talk about them," Li Long asked

Liu Shuyuan did not participate in the Yanzhou defensive battle, so he thought of the training of soldiers, and said: "Lord General Soldier, do you remember the last time you fought pirates?" ”

Li Long remembered that the last time he saved Chen Yuanyuan was a fierce battle with pirates at sea, he nodded and said: "Remember, which pirates are well-trained in water warfare, and our army has basically never participated in water warfare, if it weren't for the 95 automatic rifles in my hands, we would have been defeated."

Liu Shupei said: "We should strengthen Weihaiwei, Andongwei, and Lingshanwei. The power of the three water guards. Manufacture of large fortune ships. Train capable seamen to fight pirates, and install large guns on Daifuku ships to fight pirates."

Zhang Songsong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said: "Lord Commander, I am willing to form this navy, as long as the Lord delegates power to me, these three guards." I will definitely develop into a strong naval force in half a year."

Li Long was waiting for someone to bravely come out and take over the post of naval commander, and when he heard Zhang Songsong come out bravely, he said: "Okay, General Zhang dares to fight Kadang." I appoint you as the commander of the three guards of Weihaiwei, Lingshanwei, and Andongwei. Within our army, you are the commander of the navy, and in the court, you are the commander of the guards, and you can be fully responsible for the naval forces of the three guards, and you don't have to report to the general military office in case of trouble. Give you the right to transform and be autonomous."

Now Zhu Fulei, Fan Qing and several of their generals are red-eyed, and they know that it is better to take the position of naval commander first. The benefits are great.

"The drawings of the large fortune boat, I will ask someone to send them to you tomorrow. In addition, if you are given a map of the Japanese Kingdom, you can decide for yourself if necessary," Li Long said with a smile. It seems like to sneak up on whom.

"When I have time, I will personally go to Weihaiwei to check the construction of the ship, three guards. Two million dollars per guard and six million attacks"

"The tasks to be carried out do not have to be limited to Qingzhou City, I am the general soldier of Shandong, you are all under my control, you can go to any government in Shandong to carry it out." In addition, tomorrow he ordered the staff officers of the various provinces in Shandong to come to the General Military Mansion in Qingzhou three days later to discuss matters...... The army is about to start disarming. Li Long ordered

Eight hundred miles of fast horses, overnight notified the generals in various prefectures. Yanzhou General Liu Xiyun, Dengzhou General Zhang Lingfu, Laizhou, General Wang Zhilong and so on

On the fifth day of the first month of March, the generals of various states and prefectures all came to the Yamen of the Shandong General Army in Qingzhou Prefecture. Hearing.

The General Military Office of Qingzhou, Li Long and the generals of the state capitals were there, and Li Long first issued a notice: "Ten days later, all the states, governments, and health offices. The soldiers belonging to the official establishment must assemble in Qingzhou, and the general army must inspect the troops.

In military matters, the chief soldier has the final say in every place, so there is no need to discuss with the governor of Zenghualong at this time.

The main thing is to select excellent personnel to serve as soldiers. And not everybody...... To re-examine.

March 15. The entire Qingzhou city was crowded with soldiers. They are all in formation and waiting for the general soldiers to check it.

Li Long strode towards the rectangular platform. The snare drum beats. The generals of the provinces, the states came to the stage to report their troops.

The person in charge announced: "There are 23,000 sergeants in Dengzhou Mansion and 11,000 sergeants in Laizhou Prefecture. There are 15,000 sergeants in Qingzhou Prefecture. There are 3,000 sergeants in the Yizhou Prefecture. There are 3,500 sergeants in Yanzhou Prefecture, 4,200 sergeants in Jinan Prefecture, and 1,500 sergeants in Wuding Prefecture. There are 2,500 sergeants in Caozhou Mansion and 5,300 sergeants in Dongchang Prefecture. and the strength of the guards attacked 74,000 men. "When you finish reading, you close the notebook.

Li Long then coughed twice and said loudly: "Tomorrow, I will personally inspect every soldier in the army, and those who do not meet the requirements will be forcibly discharged from the army, and they will be given fields and silver taels. Qualified soldiers are being reorganized. The generals of all the provinces are concentrated in Qingzhou Mansion, and they will move their families to Qingzhou, and I will be responsible for paying you to build a house. The selected soldiers stayed in the barracks in Qingzhou. After three months of training, they left for the prefectures and cities. With that, he strode off the stage.
