Chapter Seventy-Nine: Breaking the Game (Part II)
Yang Bo said: "Everyone knows that we are in difficulty, and the Tatar slaves are also difficult, they occupy so many places in Liaodong, not only do they not get any benefits, but they have to divide troops everywhere to defend, and they also have to mention the resistance of the Han people in Liaodong under the prevention and control, poisoning, fleeing, and assassinating officers......"
Yang Bo clenched his fist with one hand and said: "It's like this is a dough cake, we and the Tatar slaves have to grab this dough cake to eat, the dough is just that, whoever grabs it fast and eats more will be stronger, who can defeat the other party more easily, and grab the rest, now do you understand this truth?" ”
A loud answer rang out from the audience: "Understood"
Yang Bo raised his hands weakly, and the audience returned to quiet, he continued: "The defeat of the Daling River, the 50,000 horses and horses of the Guanning army were wiped out, and the Tartar slaves were full, so they want to lie down quietly and rest, and when they are rested, they will be stronger, shall we give them this chance?" ”
"Don't give it!"
"That's right! If you don't give them a chance to rest, how many people are there in the Eight Banners of Tatar? Let's kill him 300 today, kill him 500 tomorrow, after all, one day, we will kill all the Tar slaves, let's fight all the way to the north and south, fight pirates, exterminate bandits, kill Tartars, let's talk about it, how are we better than Guanning military horses? Yang Bo asked loudly.
"Guan Ningjun counts as a ball!"
There was a contemptuous laugh from the audience.
"No. 1 in the world!"
Yang Bo said sharply: "We are the first in the world!" Guan Ningjun beat the Tartars like dogs, let's beat the Tartars like dogs! Who is the number one in the world? ”
"We are the best in the world! No. 1 in the world! ”
"Thunder Brigade! Thunder Brigade! ”
"We don't count it yet, we won't really count it until this big defeat of the Tartars,"
Yang Bo saw that everyone's morale was boosted, so he said: "Those turtles who will only shrink into the city can't believe that there are still troops in this world who dare to go out of the city and fight the Tatars, they think they can't do it, and there is no one else in the world who can do it, do we want to make them sober?" ”
"Yes!"
Seeing the angry appearance of everyone in the audience, Yang Bo suddenly laughed: "In order to disgust and disgust them, the slogan of our battle this time is to avenge the Guanning military horses, how about it?" ”
"Good!"
There was laughter in the audience again, and the laughter was full of disdain for Guan Ningjun.
Yang Bo nodded, and his face gradually became serious: "Some of you think that we have occupied Lushun, with men and territory, your mind has begun to relax, and you have become disgusted with the battle, and you want to return to the field to enjoy Qingfu from now on, then I tell you, if you think like this, sooner or later you will be eliminated by our team, and we will definitely not stop waiting for you!" ”
Yang Bo's voice was slow but firm: "...... The situation is changing rapidly, we have only taken the first step, there will be more battles in the future, if you don't have this psychological preparation, I will let him retire early, is there any? ”
Yang Bo's sharp eyes swept the audience several times, and everyone was silent.
"Is there any? Didn't you? Well, let's see for ourselves and see where we stand! ”
Yang Bo waved his hand, several staff officers hurriedly ran up and planted small red flags on the map, Yang Bo pointed at Liaodong with a whip, the place occupied by the Tatar slaves was full of dense red flags, and the blue flag representing Lushun had only one root, and it occupied the most corner of the lower abdomen of Liaodong alone.
Everyone in the audience felt a little heavy when they saw such a balance of power......
Tie Niu stood up: "Now, if there are any difficulties, we will try to solve them one by one, if we don't bring it up now, you don't need to make excuses if you can't complete the order in the future, the responsibility is to resist yourself!" ”
As soon as Tie Niu's words were finished, Hu Mazi stood up and said loudly: "Soldiers, the Liaodong Battalion has only recruited a platoon for so many days, and it only takes a month, even if it is full, we still have to train, what should we do?" ”
Yang Bo nodded and said: "This is the most urgent problem, I already have a solution, let's talk about the problem of personnel replenishment first"
“…… Not only the Liaodong battalion, but also all other battalions are like this, Bingyuan Dengzhou can't solve it, and Liaodong can't solve it, but have you forgotten? Didn't the imperial court give me the right to transfer the military households of the guards from the four guards and six guards? ”
“…… I plan to send people to the Siwei Liusu Institute to recruit troops, although the combat effectiveness of the military households is not high, at least it is much better than the homeless, the Siwei Liusu Institute is our base camp, there is no problem in recruiting people, however, in order to make them more willing, I am ready to give them a promise! ”
"Everybody can get land in Liaodong"
Yang Bo looked at the quiet crowd in the audience again: "A hundred acres of jump!" ”
"How much?"
"A hundred acres?"
"My lord seems to be talking about a hundred acres, yes."
"What do you mean by jumping?"
"It's the least it means."
"Oh my God......"
Yang Bo's bombshell blinded everyone, and the audience roared.
"Your Excellency!" Xiao Mochou, who had been silent, suddenly stood up
Yang Bo nodded: "You say." ”
"If the new recruits are a hundred acres each, what will happen to those veterans?" Xiao Mochou's words attracted everyone's attention, and his question also asked their thoughts.
"As I said earlier, 100 acres is not only a benefit for recruits, what are you worried about? In addition to the land and salt ponds of Shijiu and Jimo, you veterans will also have at least 100 acres of land in Liaodong! After this campaign, the military merit evaluation system will be tied to welfare, that is, the greater the merit you make, the more land you get, and the specific terms are still being planned, but it will definitely not be disadvantaged to any department or person, that's it. ”
"Your Excellency?" Liu Lao Donkey timidly raised his hand, and the people around him laughed when they saw his obscene appearance.
Yang Bo knew what he wanted to say, and Wen Yan encouraged: "Liu Laohan, do you have any questions and say it boldly."
"Our craftsman battalion, well, that, that land......" Liu Lao Donkey swallowed, his eyes full of envy
"The army must have more land than other departments, do you agree with this?" Yang Bo looked around at the personnel of the logistics, education, and staff departments, and his eyes swept over Wang Xiaoyu, Chen Jianghu, Han Er's aunt, and Han Yan'er one by one.
"Those soldiers are fighting with the Tatar slaves, and we naturally have no complaints...... "Liu Lao Donkey said with a dry laugh, Yang Bo didn't let him sit, he could only continue to stand.
"Standards for other sectors are still being developed,"
Yang Bo waved his hand at Liu Lao Donkey and said: "Although the land allocated to you is not as direct as that of soldiers, but rest assured, generally speaking, there are several aspects of the land assessment, such as length of service, meritorious service, position, etc., these are the criteria for division, and when the standards come out, let's sum it up well, you old brothers, old sisters have been with me for so long, I can still make you suffer?" ”
Yang Bo's words made everyone laugh, and Han Erjia's heart warmed, remembering the past when Yang Bo stood up for her and swept away Jingbiantun.
"Excluding other departments, the 3,500 people of the Thunder Brigade need 350,000 mu of land, and if you count them all, I estimate that at least 1 million mu of land will be enough!"
Xiao Mochou continued to ask, "Lushun plus the newly opened land is only 50,000 acres, what do we give them land?" ”
Yang Bo smiled, pointed to the map with his whip, and drew a large circle on Liaodong: "How much land is here?" Is it enough? Not enough yet! ”
Yang Bo continued to draw to the west, the Jianzhou of the Tatar slaves, the west of the Tieling Kaiyuan, the Khalkha Department of Mongolia, the Korqin Department, the Naiman, Ao Han and other large areas in the west!
"But, but these lands are not ours, not ......" Xiucai was stunned by the pie painted by Yang Bo.
"yes? When recruiting soldiers, you can't always say, we don't have land yet, and we'll give you points when the time comes, right? Liu Manzi also nodded in agreement
"My promise!"
Yang Bo replied categorically: "I don't know about other places, but in the Four Guards and Six Institutes, my promise to Yang is still worth a few dollars!" ”
Zhang Shixiong stood up and said loudly: "With the promise of adults, we can recruit soldiers, and with soldiers, we can conquer Jinzhou, how can we get more than one million acres of land?" If it weren't for the lack of manpower last time, Golden State would already be ours! If Fuzhou is defeated, not to mention more than 3,000 horses in the Thunder Brigade, even 30,000 horses and horses will be enough to divide the land, what are you worried about? ”
Everyone in the audience saw a large area on the map, but there was no intuitive concept of how much land there was in place, and now when they heard the words of Zhang Shixiong, a native of Liaodong, everyone nodded frequently.
Yang Bo is very satisfied with everyone's reaction, it can be said that as soon as this benefit is introduced, the generals under his command will think more about how to get the land, how to drive out the Tartar slaves to get these lands, and then these people will be red-eyed and screaming, and the phenomenon that they need to go into battle and agitate themselves before the battle will not happen again, and they will fight for their own interests in the future, to capture, to obtain, this is what Yang Bo wants!
"In Liaodong, as long as the land that our Thunder Brigade has stepped on is ours, no matter whose hands it is now," Yang Bo concluded: "The Thunder Brigade is still very weak, so we must be cautious in every battle, and we must not underestimate the enemy!" Now that we have solved the source of soldiers, what difficulties do we have? Think about it. ”
"The training time is too short!" Hu Mazi said loudly
Yang Bo nodded: "The time is a little shorter, the arquebus battalion is simpler, in addition to the decomposition steps is the battlefield discipline, the pikemen not only have discipline but also skills, so let's do it, I will help you set up the shelves of the Liaodong battalion, in addition to the backbone of the company platoon level, I will also transfer a hundred veterans to you, no training can compare to the battlefield, and it will grow faster on the battlefield." ”
Li Dali stood up and asked, "The flintlock pistol is still in production, can you catch up?" ”
Yang Bo looked at Chen Jianghu, and Chen Jianghu stood up: "My lord, since the flintlock machine has been stabilized, it has been mass-produced, but the most difficult thing is the gun pipe, as of yesterday, more than 100 have been made, and no matter what, 500 flintlock pistols will not be able to be driven out in a month." ”
Yang Bo said: "It doesn't matter if you can't catch up, vigorously?" ”
Li Dali stood up.
"All the arquebuses in your arquebus battalion will be handed over to the craftsman battalion, and you will make every effort to modify the flintlock machine, and you will first use the more than 100 flintlock pistols that have been built."
Yang Bo turned to Chen Jianghu again: "It's too late to transform it first, the parts of the flintlock machine are poured with molds, which is nothing more than the last polishing, and the most labor-intensive is to drill holes in the pipe, and it's no problem to drill 500 pipes a month, right?" ”
Chen Jianghu shook his head and said, "Unless the adults allocate another three hundred people to me, and some of the drilled wooden beds will have to be made in a hurry." In addition, there is a need for a group of people with carpentry skills."
Han Yan'er said: "No problem, you come to me after the meeting, and I will transfer five hundred people to help you." ”
Chen Jianghu nodded: "In this way, the little old man will have no difficulty, and five hundred modified flintlock pistols are wrapped around me." ”
Seeing Yang Bo looking at him, Liu Lao Donkey hurriedly stood up: "My lord, there is also a shortage of manpower on the villain's side, at least two hundred blacksmiths and three hundred helpers."
Yang Bo nodded, the blacksmith needed to repair the armor from the last time, and he also had to make the cover armor, and the workload was greater than that of Chen Jianghu's side.
Yang Bo also instructed Han Er's family to organize women to drive out the granular gunpowder, at least to ensure the safe stock of the warehouse, in addition to gunpowder, they should also cooperate with the craftsman battalion to produce iron shells in large quantities.
As long as the smoothbore artillery battalion ensures the supply of ammunition, there is no problem, and the number of mortar guns is sufficient, and another fifty guns can be poured out in a month. And Lu Ruohan will select a batch of small cannons captured from the Battle of Lushun, plus the small cannons sent by Yan Kunzhi in Dengzhou, to form a separate artillery team, which will be temporarily under the command of the smoothbore artillery battalion, so that Lu Ruohan will lay the foundation for the future heavy artillery battalion in advance, and the frames of those small cannons of the Furlong machine will also start to be manufactured.
Xiucai suddenly asked, "My lord?" Will the various departments of the Dongjiang River be willing to listen to our command? ”
Yang Bo glanced at Xiucai: "That's my business, you don't have to worry about it" (to be continued.) )
