People close to him know that Li Hongzhang is really angry this time.

The military attache reacted quickly enough, and without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Yang Hao and was about to kowtow.

Yang Hao's eyes quickly pressed his shoulder: "Slow, I can't stand this head!" ”

"Hmph, count you kid acquaintance! There are few people in the world who can afford Lao Tzu's head! ”

The military attache pouted and snorted coldly and was about to get up, but was forced back by Yang Hao's hand. He was shocked and shouted angrily: "You dare?!" ”

Yang Hao was condescending, his eyes were like knives looking at him, and he said awe-inspiringly: "I said that I can't stand it, because your head shouldn't have kowtowed to me, you have to kowtow to those division commanders and brother Pao Ze who once took you to fight as a soldier and taught you how to be a qualified soldier!" Because you forgot your roots! ”

"Why did Lao Tzu forget his roots?! You kid make it clear! ”

People in these years are most afraid of being labeled like this, which means that this person must have betrayed his brother and betrayed his teacher. No one wants to accept such a person, let alone reuse and promote. If Li Hongzhang believes Yang Hao's words, then his future may end here!

The military attache rushed up violently, but it was difficult to shake the suppression of Yang Hao's arm at all. At this time, he suddenly discovered that Yang Hao was not only tall and decent, but his own strength was not inferior to that of ordinary martial arts practitioners.

This guy, where is just a businessman, he is simply a master of civil and military all-rounders!

This scene also made the people around him look secretly astonished. Even if the guy who is held down is no longer successful, he is still a martial artist, and he has to boil his body every once in a while. Otherwise, you won't even be able to ride a horse.

is such a body that once followed Li Hongzhang from birth to death, and fought in the south and the north. was actually pressed by Yang Hao's one hand. Hey, he's not usual!

Li Hongzhang was interested in Yang Hao's words, and stroked his beard to see how he said from the side.

Yang Hao swept his eyes at everyone and said loudly: "If an army wants to be like an arm and a finger, and orders and prohibitions are enforced, it must strictly require the discipline and obedience of every soldier. It is necessary to ensure that they do not flee in battle, and that they are always united in the face of danger together. They must be required to develop teamwork on a daily basis and always keep the sense of collective honor in mind. ”

"Tidying up housekeeping is to implement the above ideas in daily walking, sitting, lying down, and every move, and strict and meticulous training makes them accustomed to nature, and finally becomes an instinct that can be made without thinking. In this way, an army can dare to fight in the face of the enemy, not afraid of danger, not defeated if seriously wounded, and invincible! ”

"You've also come from fighting with an old-fashioned smoothbore gun, when we were firing at each other in a face-to-face formation within a stone's throw away. If there is no such discipline. How can they be allowed to face a storm of guns and ammunition and hold on to the moment of bayonet fighting? Rely only on your authority. And the Warlord behind it? ”

In the era of "queuing up to shoot," the troops on both sides lined up face to face with snare drums, and the distance between them was within 100 meters. What's worse is that the left and right rear are all their own people, and there is nowhere to hide, so they can only fight for luck.

Only an army trained under coercion can compete with the fanatical believers who have been brainwashed by religion. Thinking about the Huai army at the beginning, although it relied on the maintenance of township relations during the war, it was easy for the troops to be grouped. In fact, what Yang Hao said is just a different form.

After listening to this, Hannagan praised it from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Yang has broken the difference between the old army and the modern army. One is passive obedience, and the object of obedience is only one's own commander. One is conscious devotion and understanding of fighting for the country. The difference between the two determines the victory and defeat on the battlefield. ”

A large group of officials suddenly understood, no wonder the army in front of them was not badly equipped and there were many people, but they couldn't beat the Japanese army who couldn't eat enough. No matter how much they are like a modern army, the Qing army is still in the same state as it was 20 years ago, and its training and will to fight have declined greatly. It is reasonable to suffer defeat.

After Yang Hao finished speaking, he let go of his hand and let the other party kneel on the ground, and turned around and hugged his fist at Li Hongzhang: "Lord Zhongtang, Yang Hao is acting on his behalf, and he is abrupt." ”

Li Hongzhang's face was not ugly, and he stroked his beard and nodded lightly: "Your words are not wrong." ”

The military attache was stunned on the ground for a long time, and he didn't know if he really understood, so he crawled in front of Li Hongzhang with his hands and feet, and jumped up and down three times.

Li Hongzhang swept his sleeves: "Pick off the official uniform and go to the new army to be a messenger." When do you figure it out, come and see the old man again! ”

The military attache wept bitterly, his head touched the ground, and he shouted loudly: "Thank you for your great grace!" ”

Yang Hao had to write a big word in his heart, looking at the means of the old man Li to pay people's hearts down, and his backhand made an unruly subordinate grateful. By the way, he also gave the new army a bright and honest ear and eye, and no one could say anything!

Although the whole process was very unsuccessful, Li Hongzhang still continued to inspect and review the next calmly.

At noon, he had dinner with a group of officials in the barracks, and when he saw that the food of ordinary soldiers was actually white flour steamed buns plus four dishes and one soup, he asked Yang Hao in surprise: "You give your soldiers such meals every day?" ”

The four dishes are all ordinary Chinese cabbage, potatoes, eggplant, celery, mushrooms, etc., and there are nothing rare. But these dishes all have one thing in common, there is meat in them, and there are plenty of fatty meats!

Another soup is a thick bone broth, as well as optional sea fish and canned meat.

Yang Hao nodded disapprenosingly: "Yes, this is still going to war, and the logistics can't keep up, so there can only be a few tricks." If the training is hard in normal times, then you have to give them extra meals. ”

Looking at the soldiers holding three or more big steamed buns in their hands, they were sweet and sweet, but none of them were special, and it was really commonplace. Li Hongzhang stroked his beard for a long time and couldn't say a word.

The accompanying officials were different, and they exchanged words one after another: "Eat big fish and meat all at once, is this still the appearance of being a soldier?" ”

"It's extravagant. Even if he is a rich man in the country. I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to do it so badly. The surname Yang is really rich, how can he spend it? ”

"Hmph. Eating like this, don't the soldiers have to get used to it? Who will go up to fight in the future? I think it's just for you to show the scene. ”

"Not really, look at these soldiers, all of them are fat and strong. If you don't feed yourself all day with fish, how can you be so strong? It's just that this kind of consumption...... I'm afraid that the amount of money will be exhausted! ”

"Oh, it takes thousands of troops to fight a war, and a few thousand people can still raise a law like this. Later. See how he copes. ”

Whispering, buzzing as if in the venue.

Li Hongzhang coughed suddenly, and said in a manly voice: "Shut up, how about tasting the food of the new army together." ”

The officials were speechless for a moment, took a stainless steel plate, learned from Yang Hao to line up at the officer's window, and got a little food according to their preferences. They don't want much, one is that they don't look down on the big pot of food for the big soldiers; The second is clearly written in front of it, "The food on the plate must be eaten up, and there must be no leftovers." They don't want to suffer that sin.

Li Hongzhang loves to eat fish, so he made a special one today, and his appearance is naturally not as exquisite as his chef. The taste is not bad.

This is equivalent to the prime minister of a country coming down to observe the people's feelings, and the officials and soldiers occupy a separate restaurant. Divide them out and start with a complete set of stainless steel cutlery. When this was eaten in their mouths, the officials were surprised to find that the taste was not as bad as they imagined!

A veteran of the Huai Army stuffed half of the steamed bun in his mouth, and after swallowing it with a chirp, he sighed: "I think back then, we fought the Taiping Army in Jiangnan, if there was this bite in front of the battle, the soldiers would not rush to death?" ”

"What is said is that if there is meat in the sky, this day is like a god in the sky. I can't think of it at that time, hey, don't talk about him. ”

They have all endured hardships and fought bloodily, and there is also a period of unbearable past.

Li Jingfang was next to Yang Hao, and asked for a plate without disgust at all. He decided to go deep into the grassroots like Yang Hao in the future and share weal and butter with the soldiers, so he will set an example from now on.

After stuffing a few mouthfuls of food, he turned his head and asked Yang Hao: "Sir treats the sergeants so favorably, they don't have to worry about their lives." But I don't know how to ensure that it is extended and equal to the thousands of troops and horses in the future? Money is not something that can be solved. ”

In this era, the price of meat, eggs, fish and oil is not cheap, and it is okay to make do with it, and large-scale purchases cannot be supported by a small county at all. The army drove out, and there was nowhere to buy it when it went to the local area.

Yang Hao took a sip of broth, looked at the people who were all pricked up to listen, and said with a smile: "Fighting a war is fighting logistics." The army of the imperial court was not able to fight in front of it, and the lack of special logistics support was a big part of the problem, which was also the difference between the modern army and the past. Although the logistics of the Japanese army were primitive, they were also done for several years, and their mobilization capacity and support efficiency were much higher. ”

He pointed out another problem, the officials are also lice and are not afraid of bites, just listen.

Yang Hao continued: "From the beginning of our regimental training, logistics construction is put in the first place. All the meat, eggs, and vegetable oil you see are supplied on time by special farms and planting sites. In the future, the disabled soldiers who were injured in the war and the families of the casualties were given priority to be resettled on the farms and breeding farms directly under the army, where they received wages and enjoyed welfare benefits. ”

"I see!"

Li Jingfang suddenly realized, but a group of officials were shocked.

They could have imagined that Yang Hao had conceived so thoroughly, that the soldiers would have no worries about fighting, and they would not be afraid that their families would not be found if they died in battle. This is the same as the terrible policy that the Qing army is currently implementing, and there is no money for dying in battle, which can be described as two extremes in heaven and earth.

And if we persist in this way, basically the larger the size of the troops, the more people will be implicated, and the farmland, breeding, fishing, processing, etc., which will be supplied by all kinds of military supplies, will be formed and collectively grouped, and that will be a small kingdom that no one can intervene in!

Yang Hao only had a group of 3,000 people, and he couldn't pour water into the Yizhou Prefecture and several prefectures and counties. If every county is in this way, how many state capitals are there in the country? I'm afraid that when he organizes an army of 300,000, he won't even have to fight in this world, so he will be surnamed Yang!

The food was already tasteless, but now it is full of things, and the officials are even more unpleasant, and they don't know how to stuff those meals into their stomachs.

However, many military attachés moved their minds. If they can also join forces to do this, will those who will be soldiers in the future still be afraid of those civilian officials? Birds, where are you going, they have nothing to do!

After eating, Li Hongzhang took all the officials and soldiers back to Tianjin, preparing to come tomorrow to march for the troops. As for how much shock and impact it will bring to the court this time, it is not clear how many tricks will be issued in half a day and overnight.

Li Jingfang lived in the barracks and seriously followed Yang Hao and Shi Jianfei to learn management and strategy. He has a sincere attitude of not being ashamed to ask, and he has read the incomprehensible parts of the book before, so he should ask.

Yang Hao and Shi Jianfei did not hide it, and explained it to him one by one.

When he returned to the office of the American Concession in the evening, Zhou Jianhao came in and reported: "Sir, there are two guests who have been waiting for a long time, do you have time to meet?" ”

Recently, there have been more people asking to see, and Yang Hao didn't care, and asked casually: "Oh? Did they hand over the post? ”

Zhou Jianhao shook his head: "Their identities are too sensitive, and it is inconvenient to involve Mr., so they just reported their names." They are called Sun Wen and Lu Haodong. ”

"Sun Wen? Sun Cannon?! ”

Yang Hao was startled and jumped up. (To be continued......)
