Chapter 115: The Weakness of the Regiment Training Camp

In Tongzhou, a spoils sharing meeting is underway. Chen Xie is willing to take out a great credit and sell silver, this matter is only known to the three adults for the time being, and they were happy to patronize it before, and when they sat together to discuss, they felt that things were not so simple.

How do you write this memoir? Do you want to completely wipe out the Dengzhou regimental training camp?

After some discussion, the final conclusion was that the Dengzhou camp could not be erased, and artistic techniques could be adopted to express it. Finally, there is such a text in this recital: On the afternoon of the 20th, the Jianbu returned, the siege was urgent, the governor explained the scriptures, and the imperial history Fang Daren ascended the city, personally risking arrows and stones, encouraging the thieves to kill the ,......, Dengzhou battalion banner came from the south, and the Jianbu saw that it could not win, fearing that its flanks would be hit, and the corpse was abandoned.

After the cultural people play with the pen and the head is called a slip, focusing on the role of the two civil officials in the city, the others are all foils.

Chen Xie sold the credit, but there was no psychological pressure at all. In these days, there is no silver in anything. Besides, you can't cheapen the Dengzhou camp for nothing, Chen Xie didn't feel at ease about any merit and promotion.

The meeting was held in the evening to summarize the gains and losses of the day's battles, and also made some summaries of the gains and losses of the Jiannu battles.

Chen Xie sat on the side holding a teacup and did not speak, mainly Wang Qinian, He Xian, Zhang Biao, Ding Zixiong, Weng Zhengqing and other officers, as well as a group of young staff officers and cadets were discussing.

This meeting is absolutely free to speak, you can say whatever you want, but you have to say something, and if you talk nonsense, you will do it at your own risk. Wang Qinian, as the actual supreme commander of this team, did not stand at the forefront like Chen Xie in the battle, so he had a relatively clear understanding of the entire battle situation. As for why he didn't stop Chen Xie from standing in the first place. Does this need to be explained? The first article of the military regulations of the regimental training camp, a qiē action obeys the command!

Wang Qinian stood up and spoke: "The war formation of Jiannu is accustomed to taking the people and servants as the forerunner. It must be seen that there are many lucks in today's war. Our equipment is all firearms. If the slaves drive out the people as the first drive, followed by the servants, how will they deal with it? This is a question that must be prepared so as not to be caught off guard. ”

This problem is very acute, and the biggest weakness of the Dengzhou regimental training camp was clearly pointed out by Wang Qinian. The flintlock pistol has a fatal weakness, that is, after firing more than ten rounds in a row, the barrel is hot. The temperature in the powder pool was enough to ignite the powder poured into it in an instant. If Jiannu really did what Wang Qinian said, even if he disregarded the life and death of these people and shot at them, it would also lead to the problem of insufficient firepower density after the musket was heated.

Throwing out this question, everyone quickly began to discuss, some thought that the people should not be shot, and some thought that shooting was necessary, and the people should not be allowed to disrupt the formation. This linear formation of the regimental training camp. Once they are scattered, they fall into a situation of fighting on their own, and there is no advantage at all.

How to solve the problem of barrel heating was hotly discussed. In the end, a solution that was agreed to be feasible was to increase the depth of the queue. In the run-up to battle, it is necessary to ensure sufficient reserves. Once the barrel is heated and cannot continue, immediately go up and rotate.

Hear here. Chen Xie coughed, and everyone paid attention. Chen Xiecai spoke: "I think everyone has overlooked a problem, that is, pre-war reconnaissance. We only have more than 2,000 people, and if we are surrounded by them, the consequences will be unimaginable. Today's battles do not have much to learn from future operations, for the simple reason that we are superior forces. In the future, it will be difficult for us to encounter such a good thing. Then everyone should take the combat of inferior forces as the main direction of discussion, and if I am not mistaken, among the training subjects, there is a course of rapid construction of the breastwork. Haven't you thought about how to give full play to this subject in combat? I didn't think about it, but now I think about it. ”

Saying that, Chen Xie stood up and said to Wang Qinian: "You preside over the meeting, and I'll go out for a walk." ”

Looking at Chen Xie's back, everyone was a little ashamed, and there was no doubt that Fang Cai's words expressed Chen Xie's dissatisfaction.

"Okay, everyone, don't hang your head, turn your brain around for me, say whatever comes to mind, and look at the summary when you look back. Don't be able to say anything at that time, eat the master's hanging. Wang Qinian knocked on the table, and secretly expressed his respect for the master's vision in his heart. There was an engineer corps in the Dengzhou regimental training camp, which carried a large number of sacks. The soldiers each carried a small shovel on their backs, and the purpose was to build an earthen wall with sacks of earth in a very short time in the event of an attack by an advantageous enemy. The purpose is clear, to slow down the enemy's advance and give full play to the power of the musket.

Digging a ditch, setting up a sack-filled low wall behind the ditch, and then lining up a few meters behind the wall can ensure the maximum fire and damage of the muskets.

After going out, two entourages followed, one was Mengzi and the other was Cui Xin. Although this kid has just blended into the revolutionary ranks, he knows which thigh is the thickest, and after getting the name given by Chen Xie, he considers himself a slave everywhere. Chen Xie did not deny his words and deeds, and others would not say anything, usually with a fierce son, but now there is one more Cui Xin.

Chen Xie didn't think that he would be unfavorable to him, but he was used to being a slave on the Liaodong side, and he would look at people's faces.

At the gate of the courtyard of the West Wing, there were two soldiers on duty, who saw Chen Xie coming, and immediately held their guns and shouted: "Password!" ”

Even if you know Chen Xie, you must ask this password, this is Chen Xie's rule. Chen Xie replied: "Get rid of evil!" The sentry replied, "Meritorious." "After the password is given, the sentry carries the gun on his back, and the daily password is improvised, and outsiders can't understand it when they come in. This is also a rule unique to Chen Xie's regimental training camp.

"Where's Captain Hongguo? Let her come out for a while. Chen Xie didn't go in, and asked the sentry to call Hongguo.

Soon the red fruit came out, and behind the curtain that was lifted, there were many eyes staring at Chen Xie.

"Sister Qingqing, this is the master?" Xiaolan turned back to Qingqing, who was braiding herself, and Qingqing smiled: "Yes, he is the master, and his heart is as good as a bodhisattva." ”

A few hours later, the women all showered and changed into new clothes. It turned out that the clothes I was wearing were burned, and lice were one of the biggest problems in hygiene. It is very troublesome to get rid of lice for these people, and the health team has a mature plan, and it is just implemented. Spray the potion on the head, wrap it in a towel for half an hour, and then wash it with water. After a while, the basin of washing hair was densely covered with lice, and the lower body had to be cleaned with a solution diluted with potassium permanganate. After tossing for four or five hours, these people can be considered to have a basically clean body, and this work is not a matter of one or two days. It will continue tomorrow, and it will not be finished in three or five days.

After putting so much effort into cleaning up these women, it is nothing more than considering the source of the nurses. These women who have been defiled can only live like individuals under the protection of the Dengzhou regimental training camp in the future. This is a concept that has been instilled in female medical soldiers. To put it another way, "brainwashing".

"At dinner, it was almost calm. Several women shed tears while holding steamed buns while eating. Alas, this is a sin, these women, the death of their parents and their families, and the arrest of them. The body is not clean, and I don't want to go to my relatives. If it's not for the lord to take it in, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people looking for death. Hongguo shed tears as she reported. This woman is a good-hearted woman, and it is uncomfortable to mention this. Those who have experienced despair will cherish the life full of hope in front of them.

Chen Xie is the spiritual pillar of the female medical soldiers, and the object of their collective allegiance.

"They are all hard-working people, Hongguo, you have to appease them all, the supplement of the medical staff, give priority to them." Chen Xie still appeared as a kind-hearted master, Hongguo didn't doubt it at all, and nodded vigorously: "Master, just rest assured." ”

Chen Xie continued to inspect the village, and when Hongguo returned, he was immediately surrounded by a group of sisters. "What did the master say?" That's the problem, the female doctors and nurses didn't come up with a smile, Hongguo said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, I just asked everyone how they settled down?" Sisters, we were even more pitiful than you at the beginning, and when the master took us in, he didn't say that he didn't look down on us at all. In the eyes of the master, there is no high or low, only the diligent and the lazy. Do things well, you can learn slowly if you don't know how to do things, and if you don't do things well, you won't want to stay if you want to. ”

When Chen Xie returned, the meeting had already ended. Wang Qinian and others were making a summary report, and saw Chen Xie come in and stand up and salute collectively. Chen Xie hurriedly replied: "Leave the summary report, go back and rest early." ”

"There seem to be more and more things that need to be guarded." Chen Xie said to himself, what happened today, the war is not what Chen Xie is most impressed by, but the people and survivors who died. A question that Chen Xie has been trying to avoid, and he has to face it seriously at this time.

The knock on the door interrupted Chen Xie's unstarted thoughts, and it was a young logistics staff officer who came in, saluted and reported to the direction, and turned to go out. Chen Xie picked up the report and took a look, and today's harvest results were counted. There was not much food, only 30 carts, and the rest were all looted by Jiannu, cloth, salt, gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings.

According to the military order, these things are kept in a unified manner, and individuals are not allowed to retain them without authorization, and once they are discovered, they will be resolutely dealt with, and dismissal is the minimum. This military order was carried out most thoroughly, but fortunately, no one was found to have intercepted and seized it today.

There is an estimated figure in the statistical results, and the value of these things is about 80,000 taels of silver, which shows that in the Ming Dynasty, robbery was the fastest shortcut to get rich. As for this robbery target, Chen Xie was of course determined to be Jiannu. The harvest can be said to be huge, plus the heads and seized trades, and in a day and a half, 140,000 taels of silver were harvested. Among them, thirty percent of the harvest will be distributed as a battle reward, which everyone knows, so there will be no phenomenon of private interception. (To be continued......)
