163 artillery battery

The military pays attention to orders and prohibitions, and in the words of later generations, it means that soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty.

In order to achieve this goal, Hu Guang further explained: "In the future, people in combat units must salute when they encounter leaders of higher rank than themselves. Here's how to salute......"

When Hu Guang said this, he stood up and made a demonstration, and then said: "The army is mainly simple, clear and convenient, so the kneeling salute is abolished, and the fist is bowed, and it will only be this way of saluting in the future!" ”

Needless to say, as long as there is something in one hand, it is inconvenient to hold a fist and bow to the hand, so Hu Guang also abolished this at the same time.

With that, he sat back down and looked around the leaders in the hall. He was afraid that these peasants and low-level soldiers would not be able to accept so many things, so he didn't talk about it for now.

After waiting for a while, after they were all thinking in their minds, Hu Guangcai continued: "If you have any opinions, you can mention them casually now, and once you walk out of this door, you must implement them seriously." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks for a while.

"Okay, so who else has anything to add that will help us prevent it from happening?" Hu Guang asked again.

Still no one answered, Hu Guang's face became serious, and he emphasized again: "In the future, all leaders will have markings, and they will also be supervised while clarifying their authority." If there is anything wrong, don't think that you can hide it from me, there will be many eyes watching. I don't want the day when I punish you. ”

After speaking, he announced the adjournment of the meeting, but Hu Kuan, Liu Daneng and Hu Hansan stayed.

Seeing the three of them looking at him with a confused expression, Hu Guang showed a wry smile and said: "I took it for granted before, the main thing proposed at that time was firearms, at least in the short term, I'm afraid it won't work." It would take several days for the artisan battalion to produce samples of flintlock pistols, and there was still a serious shortage of manpower, so it was obviously impossible to get a large amount of equipment. Moreover, most of the existing arquebuses also have quality problems, so in the short term, if the enemy comes to attack, it is still necessary to use cold weapons to fight. ”

When Hu Kuan and the three of them heard this, they didn't mind. The three of them, all from the army, have always been accustomed to fighting with cold weapons.

They actually scoff at firearms in the army. However, they are indeed a little curious about the flintlock pistol that Hu Guang said. But before I saw it with my own eyes, I can't say how good it was.

"Second brother, it's okay, in fact, fighting a war is just a matter of who is not afraid of death, and what weapon to use is secondary." Hu Kuan smiled and comforted Hu Guangdao.

When Hu Hansan heard this, he also echoed: "That's right, that afternoon, You Shilu's men and horses were much better equipped than us, and they were not also forced to flee by us. Childe, don't worry, don't dare to say it, no one dares not to work hard now! ”

Liu Daneng had just become the commander of the cavalry company, and he also wanted to talk about it, but unexpectedly, Hu Guang spoke first, only to see him shake his head and say: "Morale is one aspect, it is true that you can fight with cold weapons, after all, you will kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred." The situation is even more aggravated when encountering a disciplined army. We have few people, and we can't afford to lose! ”

When Liu Daneng heard this, he finally seized the opportunity, and hurriedly interjected: "Don't worry, even if it is the elite of the border army, in fact, it is only those families who dare to fight." If you want to say that you are disciplined, apart from the previous Qi family army, you really haven't heard of anything else? ”

"What about Liaodong Jianyu?" When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately asked rhetorically.

"Huh?" When Hu Kuan and the three of them heard this, they expressed their surprise in unison, how could they have something to do with Liaodong Jianyu, who was far away in the world?

When Hu Guang saw it, he immediately explained: "As long as we have a strong day, we will inevitably have the opportunity to meet Jianyu." Don't think they're in Liaodong, it doesn't seem like it's our business. In addition, there are some generals of the Ming army, who are also much stronger than You Shilu. Therefore, since we have embarked on this path, we must go in the strongest direction. I hope that most of our brothers will live to a peaceful and prosperous day. ”

Hearing Hu Guang say this, the three of them were silent, feeling that they didn't think as far as Hu Guang.

Of course, compared with Hu Guang, their lack of vision is inevitable. At this time, they are only around them in their eyes, at most some elites in the border army. But Hu Guang is different, he knows what powerful generals there are in the Ming Dynasty, he also knows about the construction of Liaodong, and even knows some situations in the Western world.

Hu Guang also knew this, so he patiently continued: "Brother, the three of you are the ones we call the Heavenly Army who know the most about fighting. I know you're saying this to comfort me. But what I want to tell you is that the use of cold weapons is a last resort, so I have two thoughts to make in order to adapt to the current situation. ”

"Well, you say." Hu Kuan represented the other two and nodded.

"Big brother, if you choose a company here, you will train it according to the cold weapon combat method, and the weapons will be optional, and you must train the kind that can resist fighting on the front line."

Hearing his younger brother's request, Hu Kuan nodded and said, "This is no problem, eldest brother knows." ”

Hu Guang smiled when he heard this, and then said to the three of them: "The second is to select people from the three of you who are flexible in their minds and who accept new things, such as those with strong learning ability, and I am ready to form an artillery company to strongly support your battle." ”

"Artillery battery?" Hu Kuan was puzzled when he heard this, and subconsciously asked.

For them, cannons are all used for defense at the head of the city. A big general's cannon requires many people to serve, is the establishment of a company enough?

Hu Guang nodded after hearing the question, and explained: "Yes, it's the artillery company." When the time comes, if we go out of the city to fight, we must use the fire of the artillery company to hit and bombard the enemy's trump card, so that your losses can be reduced. ”

"What? Out of town for a field fight? Can the cannon move? Hu Hansan was a little out of shape when he heard this, and exclaimed in surprise.

The other two are similar, they think Hu Guang's words are incredible, is there something wrong?

Among them, Hu Kuan's knowledge is broader, and he has only heard that Qi Dashuai seems to have a car battalion to go out to fight in the field, but how much manpower and material resources are needed, and he doesn't have that strength at all!

When Hu Guang heard this, he laughed, waved his hand to Hu Hansan and said, "You think about it, how can you use those bulky cannons in field battles!" ”

When the three of them heard this, it turned out that Hu Guang knew this, so it was okay.

"The artillery of this artillery company, I plan to use the Franc machine, the tiger squat cannon and the unconscionable cannon as the main ......"

When Hu Guang began to say the name of the cannon, the three of them were still nodding, but when they heard the end, they were surprised again, Hu Kuan first interrupted his younger brother's speech, and asked curiously: "What is the conscienceless cannon?" What a strange name! ”

P.S. There is a temporary socialization today, so the update is late, and this rarely happens in general.
