Chapter 13 - Iron Armor
From the moment Zhang Yun decided to teach and all the company-level officers learned simplified Chinese, everything in the army was already on the right track.
All the training work has been handed over to the grassroots officers......
As for the tens of thousands of veterans who have been acting in front of the recruits. was also unceremoniously used up by Zhang Yun and thrown away!
Directly sent all of them, and the newly established arsenals went to work as coolies!
In this way, another month passed quickly, and Li Chuan, who was originally assigned by Zhang Yun on this day, suddenly came to the door again......
"Dao Chief, if you don't issue armor to those hundreds of thousands of recruits, all the pig iron is used to cast steel knives and muskets, as well as the so-called bayonets, Li has no opinion."
"But now you have suddenly decided that the soldiers and horses under Li are not allowed to wear the existing armor, what is the reason?"
"Don't you know that when you start a battle, whether you have armor or not is a very important decisive factor!"
Zhang Yun looked at Li Chuan, who was blushing and thick-necked, and said in a deep voice: "Poor Dao also knows that sending tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under your command, who are known as elites, to the arsenal has caused you Li Chuan to be resentful. ”
"But you shouldn't turn right and wrong upside down in front of the poor road, how powerful is the musket? Especially the power of queuing to shoot, you saw it with your own eyes the other day. ”
"What do you think is going to happen to you with the power of that musket volley, even if you are put on three layers of iron armor?"
"But they are too slow to fire, and they don't have any accuracy, they are simply worse than bows and arrows, even if you put a so-called bayonet on a musket, it is not much better than a spear......" Li Chuan still did not give up!
Zhang Yun was not deceived by his superficial kung fu, in fact, Zhang Yun's heart was clear at this moment, because in the past month, with the training of the recruits on the right track.
Tens of thousands of useless veterans were sent to the arsenal by themselves. With the coal and iron transported from Panzhihua, he did hard work. In Li Chuan's heart, because he no longer has great power, he can't be greedy for the huge amount of food expenses, and he has been holding his breath in his heart.
Originally, Zhang Yun thought that Li Chuan would jump out soon, but he didn't expect him to endure it for so long. I thought I had caught my sore foot. Use this armor to tell the story!
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun decided to appease him for the time being.
After all, the new-style army has not yet been reorganized, and the nearly 500,000-plus troops are only in the state of a company, and there is not even a single battalion or regiment-level unit......
At this time, the 50,000 veterans under Li Chuan still have a certain deterrent effect. It's not suitable to turn his face with him at this time, as for the future, hehe!
"General Li, you must know that the place where Poor Dao is going to take them is a tropical rainforest, or in your understanding, it is a place like a deep mountain and an old forest."
"In that kind of place, there is definitely no way to spread out all the hundreds of thousands of troops, that is to say, it is necessary to spread the troops and attack others in the form of small forces."
"In this case, the logistical pressure will be very huge, and there will be no way to give all kinds of support to the small forces scattered all over the place!"
"So those small units will need to carry a lot more than normal combat, and in this case, you also need them to carry iron armor, isn't it a bit too much?"
"In the same way, King Li also promised to hand over your 50,000 soldiers and horses to Poor Dao for command and use, which means that you also have to follow Poor Dao there, do you Li Chuan want your soldiers and horses to carry weapons and dry food in addition to carrying weapons and dry food, and then wear an iron armor?"
Li Chuan's brain teaser found that he was speechless about Zhang Yun's words.
But he was unwilling to leave, and in the past month, he had been in power for a month, and now he was a recruit. He even dared to turn a deaf ear to his own requests, even a man couldn't bear this feeling of losing power!
The most important thing is this operation, Zhang Yun is the main one, and he follows it, if he doesn't try his best to fight for it, I'm afraid this marginalized state will never change.
Therefore, Li Chuan, who was unwilling, decided to continue to argue, "Okay, Li really doesn't know what kind of form the south is, so he won't argue with you about this." ”
"But Li did not agree with what you said to the Taoist Chief, let the whole army use muskets, and Li also made a notice to the Sichuan side about it......
Looking at Li Chuan, Zhang Yun also had a headache.
After pondering for a while, he spoke: "In this way, General Li, the promotion and use of a new weapon definitely needs people to experiment, and you want your soldiers and horses to do this experiment, and Poor Dao understands this, so Poor Dao decided to continue to use broadswords and spears for the 50,000 soldiers and horses under your command, so that you can rest assured!" ”
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he saw that Li Chuan was still entangled, so he immediately picked up a long knife and dropped a sentence, "Poor Dao is going to patrol the camp." Immediately, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet......
Looking at Zhang Yun's back in a blink of an eye, he only achieved one goal, and Li Chuan, who still had a lot of words to say, could only be left for later!
As for going to the recruit camp with Zhang Yun, Li Chuan didn't have this idea, as long as he thought of the attitude of those recruits, especially those newly promoted grassroots officers, to himself, Li Chuan couldn't help but be angry......
……
"One, two......"
Walking alone in the big playground, looking at the hot training scene, Zhang Yun slowly smiled.
So far, he has spent tens of millions of taels of silver to arm these peasants who have just laid down their hoes.
If these people don't take advantage of the opportunity to train hard. Zhang Yun didn't mind, let them know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye had!
Soon Zhang Yun turned the entire playground, and saw that all kinds of training were on the right track, and those company-level officers didn't have to go to cultural classes during the day, all of them were here in the big playground, so Zhang Yun found that he was here, and it seemed a little redundant, and he slowly didn't want to stay here anymore!
Just as Zhang Yun estimated that the annoying Li Chuan had already left, he was about to turn back and go back.
didn't know that when he first came to the playground, he was already looked at by someone with a heart......
Therefore, Zhang Yun felt a little strange about the small soldier who dared to suddenly break away from the training team and appear in front of him!
"Zhang Daochang, the little one has a sentence that has been held back for a long time, and when General Li Chuan Li was in charge, the little one didn't dare to say it. Now that a month has passed, the little one can be regarded as understanding the temperament of the Taoist, so he wants to ask. ”
"There are still tens of thousands of waste people lying in the tent area over there, and there are tens of thousands of dead people, is there no other way to say anything other than the one hundred taels of silver?"
