533 trials

According to the records in Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations", the invincible thunderbolt fire, which is similar to an explosive pack, was also invented in the late Ming Dynasty and was mainly used to defend the city.

Now that there is a pearl called the Heavenly Army in front, the invincible thunderbolt fire is not difficult for the craftsmen of the late Ming Dynasty to transform. What they lack is just a guide, a direction.

Hu Guang finally summed up to his generals: "However, the comparison of combat power between Jianyu and Ming will not completely change because of one more weapon. If they hold on to the land of Gyeonggi, they will inevitably bring suffering to the people here. However, the land of Gyeonggi has already been plagued by Jianju once, and it is estimated that the people who can escape have fled, which is relatively light compared to the other consequence. ”

"But no matter what, we told the Celestial Army that something had to be done. Now that the Ming Kingdom is dragging it, it is impossible for Jianyu, who has been greatly injured, to pose a threat to my Heavenly Army in a short period of time. Therefore, we must take the initiative to strike further on both sides of them and save more people! ”

He had the confidence to say this. First, having just won the battle, the heavenly army no longer has the psychological burden of the enemy, and as long as it is well controlled, the cumulative victory will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the heavenly army.

Second, the trial planting of potatoes was very successful, far exceeding the yield of other crops, which surprised the people at the end of the Ming Dynasty. With this guarantee, and the Hetao Plain in hand, Hu Guang believed that even if the number of the Heavenly Army increased several times, it would be able to deal with the past. And as the planting area expands, the number of people who can feed will also increase.

After Hu Guang unified the idea of calling the Heavenly Army, he first exchanged the military merits obtained in this battle, divided the land near the original Meidaizhao, and established the first experimental village called the Heavenly Army.

The infrastructure of this experimental village is all cement construction, and everything is ready. Those who acquired the land, except those who could not leave in the field army, gradually began to transition to private ownership. Except for the labor necessary for life, they are no longer arranged to work collectively at other times to obtain work.

The head of this village is elected by all the villagers and appointed by the Heavenly Army. Its main functions are twofold. The first is to serve the villagers, and the second is to convey the instructions of the Heavenly Army and complete the assigned tasks.

The village chief's salary is divided into two parts, the most basic part of the subsistence guarantee is paid by the heavenly army, and the other part is given by the villagers. This part of the money, depending on the wealth of the villagers, is actually equivalent to the performance appraisal of future generations.

Everything in this experimental village makes the people feel very novel. Just because this is Hu Guang's decision, they are just novelty. There was no question.

In fact, don't talk about this, as far as Hu Guang's prestige is concerned, he wants to refer to the deer as a horse, even if it is a herdsman on the grassland for generations, I am afraid that he will believe it. Because they feel that the chiefs are all right, they can only have a misunderstanding before.

Having said that, although the common people are curious about everything in the experimental village, there is a lot of things in it. They don't need Hu Guang to explain, they can also explain a thing or two by themselves.

For example, the villagers elect the village chief. Similar to the village elders they are familiar with, they also need to be recognized by the government. The difference is that the Tianjun emphasizes that the village chief is for the villagers, not an official riding on the head of the villagers.

There is also the source of remuneration for the village chief, which is also different from before. In the past, the villagers were not paid. And this village chief. If you want to have more legal income, you have to find a way to increase the income of the villagers.

There is also a provision that the village chief is elected every five years, and he can only serve two terms at most. And from time to time, the heavenly army is called to inspect, and there is major dissatisfaction. May preside over a secret ballot to vote on whether the village head should stay or not.

Of course, the village chief has the right to make a complaint, and he can make it clear to the Heavenly Army. If the Celestial Army is called to inspect and approve his representation, how much time can be extended. This is the kind of reform that prevents the villagers from having no vision and obstructing the long-term benefits that can only be reaped in the long run.

Whether this kind of experimental village is good or not is suitable for the current people's conditions. Hu Guang has no bottom, just a first experiment. If it can, it will be promoted in the countryside controlled by the Heavenly Army in the future. If there is a problem, make improvements.

After the battle in Guihua City, in addition to this incident in the experimental village, Hu Guang also set up two field armies in the southeast as mentioned before.

The Eastern Field Army's main combat object, or defensive object, is Jianjiao. The station is Naturalized City, Lakshin is the brigade commander, Tana is the deputy, and the main army under his command is the second cavalry regiment of the original Uncle Mo. Most of the main force is composed of grassland herdsmen, which is suitable for galloping on the grassland.

The Southern Field Army, whose main combat targets are currently the Ming army and thieves in Shaanxi. Therefore, it was Hu Kuan who served as the brigade commander, and the main army under his command was Liu Daneng's First Cavalry Regiment and Hu Hansan's Third Cavalry Regiment.

The occupations of these two field armies were different, and the eastern part was mainly defensive, and the reconnaissance range was spread far away to guard against surprise attacks. And the south is an offensive, an offensive according to the logistical capabilities of the Celestial Army. Prepare to gain a foothold in the Guannai and provide protection for the Hetao Plain from harassment from the Ming Kingdom.

At the same time, the original reconnaissance battalion was expanded. Selected outstanding soldiers from the field army to expand into a reconnaissance group, and Cheng Mouse was the head of the regiment. However, he only brought one battalion to operate with the Southern Route Army, Kang Quanan was promoted to battalion commander to follow the Eastern Route Army, and the other battalion was responsible for reconnaissance in the western region.

The four elementary schools, who were pinned on by Hu Guang, also began different life paths. The youngest Li Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, their main task is to study and work as clerks. And Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, who looked older than their actual age, were arranged by Hu Guang to train recruits from the local army and no longer follow the troops to fight.

The nominal commander of the local army was temporarily replaced by Hu Guang, and it was Wang Heizi, the commander of the military police company, who usually handled the matter. Of course, he didn't need to contribute much, and most of the instructors were still the instructors of Tana's time.

After the establishment of the field army was completed, it did not immediately part ways, but still stayed in the Naturalization City for training and tempering the cooperation between new and old soldiers.

After about half a month, Hu Hansan, Liu Daneng and others couldn't bear it anymore, they asked Hu Kuan, but there was no answer, so they had to ask Hu Guang, wanting to know when they could open and go back to Guannei.

Hu Guang understood their feelings about officially going back to their hometown, but he didn't reply to them, just said to wait.

It wasn't until this day that he received a message from the flying pigeon, and finally waited for the news he wanted, so he immediately convened a meeting of senior generals called the Heavenly Army to announce important matters.
