"That's all?"

After listening to Wei Wu's explanation, Yang Meng was noncommittal, he still wanted to hear the following!

"That's all for now."

"That's not good! That's all there is to the establishment of the first army, how to pull out the army to fight? Where does the heavy food come from? How are firearms and ammunition built?

A team of 5,000 people, people eat horses and feed, all kinds of wear and tear, do you want me, the battalion officer, to do it? With such a team, who will you fight with? Who did you beat? ”

The two of them made up too rough a fabrication, just separating the people and horses, and they can solve it in a few words, it seems that these two are busy in vain!

"My lord, what are your requirements? Can you tell us about it? ”

Ge Shiyang is not as gloomy as Wei Wu, he says everything on his face, and this time he also relieved Wei Wu.

"Good! Let's talk about it, as the so-called soldiers and horses go first before moving grain and grass, where is the logistics of these 5,000 men and horses?

There are a lot of logistics things, the head of the army is on the word nourishment, what to eat in the camp in peacetime, what to eat when going out to fight, have you ever thought about these?

Yunnan has many mountains and rivers, and the mountains open the road and the water to build a bridge, where do you get the household goods and materials for the road and bridge?

The new army is all muskets, how to supply this ammunition, do these things have to be carried by the soldiers themselves?

The military curtain I asked you to build, there is no in this establishment, and the craftsmen you asked to hire are still not in this establishment, there is nothing, what kind of establishment is this? Tell me about this kind of preparation, what is the good? How can I say yes? ”

Most of Yang Meng's words were aimed at Wei Wu, the matter of the new army. I explained it myself a few days ago. It's not this old traitor who is sloppy. Want to stumble on yourself?

Ge Shiyang is the same everywhere, this foreign revolutionary party, even if he has never eaten pork, he should have seen a pig run, isn't it nonsense to take out such a compilation? I don't even have this little thing in my stomach, how can I call it in the future?

"Third master, Wei Wu did a bad job in this matter, I thought you were talking about that. I have to listen to orders under your account, and Master Ge mentioned this stubble, and I uncovered it. ”

This time, Wei Wuzhen was not stumbling, but thought that Yang Meng had a plan, and he and Ge Shiyang simply divided the five thousand men into small teams.

"Didn't the horses that were sent to Wei Huozi in the early stage have a thousand and a half? Why did this cavalry only build one flood? Where are the 500 Tibetan horses? ”

The speed of the cavalry is fast, and the Yang family has just opened up the situation now, and a cavalry that can react quickly is the best choice. These two people cut the number of cavalry, which also made Yang Meng a little dissatisfied.

"Third master. This is Master Ge's suggestion, our artillery is light, in order to build an artillery that can fight quickly, five hundred Tibetan horses were given to them, and three cavalry sentinels were prepared to be built, so the number of horse troops was reduced by five hundred.

The artillery of the green battalion is mostly thousands of catties, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and the fort has to be built when it arrives at the place. ”

Whose responsibility is whose responsibility is his, Wei Wu didn't think about framing him in the matter of horses, and took the initiative to take the responsibility.

"Ready-made forts? Could it be that the artillery of this green battalion is so different from the artillery of foreigners? ”

Speaking of the artillery of the Green Battalion, Yang Meng also remembered that there are still dozens of artillery pieces in western Yunnan! I thought about pulling it back and using it, but I didn't expect that the artillery of the Qing Dynasty was also something that was useless.

"I also have a vague impression of this, mainly because the iron cannon is too heavy, the gun truck is overwhelmed, and if you fire a gun on the gun car, the gun truck will fall apart after one or two clicks."

Wei Wu also had a rough impression of this matter, but Ge Shiyang's idea was really good, and Wei Wu felt that the five hundred Tibetan horses should be allocated to the artillery.

"Master Ge, do the large artillery in Europe also need to build a fort?"

This is an important matter, we have to ask it to understand it, and see what the problem is? If it can be improved, it should be improved.

"No! Even the super-large fortress guns have mobile gun trucks, which may be a problem with the gun trucks! ”

Large artillery, Ge Shiyang has still seen it, and temporary forts are also built in Europe, but unlike the artillery of the Qing Dynasty, every time there is a war, a fort must be built.

"Hmmm! So be it! The issue of the mounted artillery post will be put on hold for the time being. I got a batch of iron cannons from the green battalion in western Yunnan, and I will let them be transported over there, and see what the specific situation is, and then we will make a decision.

The cavalry can't be reduced, fifteen hundred hidden horses, let's give it to the cavalry! The horses of this horse sentry will be discussed later, and there is no major problem with the formation of the army. Let's get the three of us together!

There is also the issue of official positions, the matter of donating officials has also stopped, it is enough to have a Wei camel, let's donate too many official positions in the green camp, I am afraid that people will pay attention. ”

The cavalry is to be of great use, no way is to protect the caravan or deter Yunnan, the speed of the cavalry is the fastest, and no one can cut the cavalry, this is a bottom line.

"Third master, should this logistics and military curtain be compiled together?"

Wei Wu is not very clear about the military system, and it is still good to read with books, so it will be difficult for him to innovate.

"Nope! The military curtain is the military curtain, and logistics is logistics, and logistics must also be subdivided. Even if this military curtain is a separate establishment, the military curtain will be added to the army in the future, and Mr. Wei will also pay attention to this talent in the future.

Logistics should also be refined, when the army is stationed, there must be a special cook, a team of 5,000 people, how many people are needed, you two sort it out, this team of men should not be too large, but it should be divided carefully. When the army is dispatched, it will also be assigned to the various flood posts. The cavalry also had to add grooms and veterinarians.

When it comes to this veterinarian, have you chosen a good selection among the 5,000 horsemen? ”

Picking up these miscellaneous things again, Yang Meng's thinking was not very clear, and he could only think of where to say it.

"I have already asked Liu Yijiao to handle it, but this Langzhong, who is good at healing, is not easy to find, and the number is far from enough.

Wei Wu, the old traitor, has a good brain, and he can come up to him correctly when he asks anything.

"I'm going to have to trouble Master Ge about this, aren't there a few doctors who came with you! Set up a medical hall that combines Chinese and Western culture. For the treatment of trauma. And some good stuff from Western medicine. We also have to learn.

As for Lang Zhong who is with the army, he can be rough, he doesn't need to be skilled in medicine, he can use it if he learns to heal and stop bleeding, as soon as this condition comes out, Liu Yi sticks it there, gives him half a year, and he must let each team. There is a Lang Zhong who is with the army.

The Lang who accompanied the army did not make too many requirements in terms of medical skills, but these 5,000 people still need a medical hall, and the Lang Zhong in this must be skilled in medicine, and build this medical hall first.

After the military medical hall is built, it will also be open to the people when there is no war. By the way, the combination of the two, the medical hall is open here to teach apprentices, and those who learn well are good. Let them go to the military medical hall and continue to study with those good doctors.

That's all for the medical center. Where did I just go? ”

Yang Meng has a lot of ideas, but he is still a little worse in the overall situation, mainly because of his lack of experience, he is a man in two lives, and he can't catch up with Wei Wu, an old traitor.

"The firehead of logistics."

Wei Wu's answer is neat, and he never forgets and does not miss his ears, which is the ability he has practiced all his life.

"The Huotou Army is finished, it is clothes, shoes and socks, I have a special shoe factory in Kunming, you can do this, Master Ge, you also mention the European method, let the manager of the shoe factory refer to it, you come up with a charter, what machine skills are missing, and directly place an order for Taichen."

Then there is the ammunition workshop that I asked Master Ge to be in charge of, Mr. Wei also has to worry more about this matter, there are a group of craftsmen in Xishan, Kunming, who can repair firearms, and build an ordnance shop together with the ammunition workshop!

This ordnance institute is now mainly engaged in the manufacture of ammunition and the repair of guns, and in the future, it will have to develop its own guns and ships and manufacture guns and ships, which will require the joint efforts of Master Ge and Mr. Wei.

If the ordnance is lacking, give me the list directly, and I will only count it after I have passed here. There is also the artillery truck, after the green battalion artillery in western Yunnan comes, according to this Milican artillery truck transformation, see if there is any improvement, if not, we will not need the artillery of the Qing Dynasty.

Is there anything difficult for the two of you? If there is something, bring it up directly. ”

Yang Meng felt that these were enough for the two of them to be busy, and some things were waiting for his private curtain to be built, and he had to get a more systematic charter.

"Third master, this idea of riding a cannon post is good, I still think I should give up some horses."

The strong ships and sharp cannons of the foreigners hurt the Qing Dynasty, and Wei Wu was also a little persistent about the foreign cannons.

"Hmmm! Isn't this a way for you to train some veterinarians? We are very short of horses, let's build horse farms all over Yunnan! Seed. I let Kunming get the horse, this man Mr. Wei and Taichen discussed, in the future, the use of this horse is not small, the more the horse farm is built, the better, just so that the veterinarian has a place to show his skills. ”

There are too many things, Yang Meng is now aware of the role of the staff, if there are a few suitable people, he only needs to give orders, and he will be tired of death!

"My lord, is Yunnan the copper base of the Qing Kingdom?"

Ge Shiyang's question surprised Yang Meng and Wei Wu, Wei Wu's old eyes kept turning, and Yang Meng's eyes also oozing cold light.

"Master Ge, why do you ask this?"

Yang Meng didn't look up, but asked with drooping eyelids.

"That's right, didn't you ask me about mining coal, iron and copper? I watched those Millican's three-pounder guns last night, and I thought it would be okay for us to forge some of them ourselves. I know very well the proportion of cast cannons, but I am afraid that the raw materials will be insufficient, and there will be a problem with smelting techniques. ”

It turned out that he leaked this matter, but Yang Meng couldn't remember when he had told Ge Shiyang about this, and this foreign master should also take good care of him, and he couldn't let him run around, at least before his family arrived, he couldn't indulge him too much.

"Mr. Wei, at the end of the year, didn't the academy get a batch of books on shipbuilding and cannon casting? Do you have any rules for this? ”

Yang Meng used Pan Shicheng to get a large number of books from the imperial court, mainly about cannon casting and shipbuilding, and now it is time to use them.

"There is a way to cast a cannon, we mainly used clay molds and wax molds before Gengzi, but this is a slow way to cast cannons, and then there are too many flaws, ten cannons, three or two can be used, even if it is a national player."

However, when Gengzi, there was a capable man Gong Zhenlin in Zhejiang, who was a master of casting guns, he created the iron mold casting cannon method, and the efficiency of casting cannons was extremely fast, but the gap between his cast iron cannons and foreign cannons was not small, otherwise how could Gengzi be defeated? Let's listen to what Master Ge has to say! ”

For the artillery of the Qing Dynasty, Wei Wu really didn't like it, and he didn't know what the proprietor thought.

"My lord, the European cannon casting technique is similar, but the error of the wax model is very small when the machine makes it, and the cannon made is also smooth, as long as the smelting technique is in place, it should not be a big problem to make the copper cannon.

It's just that this time will be longer, and the error rate will be larger, and in the next few days, Mr. Wei and I, will integrate it again, and if it is feasible, we will come up with a charter. ”

As soon as Ge Shiyang said this, Yang Meng's heart was less vigilant, and it seemed that this mention of copper mines was also because he wanted to make meritorious contributions.

"Hmmm! That's it! If the two of you cooperate again, I have also said the way of the establishment of the new army, and the manufacturing method of artillery can be delayed, but now the main thing is to take out the establishment. After three or five days, you will have to integrate the new army, how to train the new army, and you will also come up with a charter. ”

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the affairs of this new army are so scratching their heads, and it seems that their own private scenes must be built as soon as possible, otherwise there will be too many loopholes to deal with these things by themselves. (To be continued......)
