Guangzhou, early in the morning

Shi Tianyu came to greet Huang Naiming in a military uniform, and gave each other a warm hug as soon as they met: "Brother is really free, what?" Don't you want you to be by your side to help? ”

"Just let me come to Guangzhou to see military affairs," Huang Naiming was kicked out of his home by his father to inspect the territory of Nanming after a few days of rest in Fujian, and Huang Naiming will first go to the rear of Guangdong to see the military construction, and then go deep into Guangxi, and finally go to the front line in Jiangxi to meet with Liu Xiang.

As soon as the three-year exemption policy ended, Sun Kewang went back to the fiefdom of Shaanxi to open his shogunate, and listened to Liu Shuai say that Sun Kewang took away tens of thousands of horses, and the car pulling things could not be seen at a glance. In the past, he helped Li Chengdong to work hard in Huguang Latin, but now he went to the vassal country to take office and scraped the ground again, and I heard that Huguang's father is now complaining. Shi Tianyu and Huang Naiming walked all the way, chatting about Huguang's movements all the way: "I heard that General Huguang Jieduyu appointed by Li Shun has arrived, and he was General Xu's right and left hand back then, do you think Li Shun will take Huguang as the main attack route this time?" ”

"Probably not, Huguang has been scraped by Sun Kewang and Li Chengdong for so long, I guess I don't want to send troops from here to attack us for a while, Li Shun is probably still worried that we will go out of Huguang." As Dashun's three-year policy of exemption from levy is coming to an end, Nanming's vigilance is also increasing day by day: "How is Guangdong's military affairs? I've heard you're all majors. ”

"Yes, the deputy commander of the major," the Nanming army has now also used the rank system, and the army has long heard that Dashun's rank system was learned by Xu Ping from Huangshi: "But the formation is our turn to steal the division, your father ordered to copy General Xu's grassroots establishment in its entirety, from the fruit to the squad, the team to the wing, how General Xu is organized, we will compile it." ”

Huang Shi felt that Xu Ping had summed up several years of experience on the battlefield, so he didn't have to spend time and blood to explore, Shi Tianyu told Huang Naiming that this regiment was basically equivalent to the wing of the Shun army: "But we have more than 3,000 people in an infantry regiment, because we equip the regiment with our own artillery, and there are some other subsidiary units." The battalion above is no longer called the battalion, and your father intends to use the title of the town, but I prefer the other name he gave me: Division. ”

In the past few years, when the Shun army had no time to look south, Huangshi completely overthrew the military system of the Southern Ming Dynasty and rebuilt it, and the town that had to take into account both military training and reclamation in the past no longer exists, and now each province has a military region with the same name, and the army within this military region has also been completely changed into a full-time army that eats imperial grain, and no longer has administrative power and does not need to consider the problem of production. Nanming's military department was also reorganized by Huangshi as the Ministry of National Defense, Shi Ce was appointed as the first Minister of Defense, and the materials needed by each military region were also procured by this department, and this ministry was nominally responsible for the Qi State Mansion, and Huang Shi said that in the future, it would be controlled by the Shoufu and the Guoqing Yuan, and now since there is no one, it is still directly under the jurisdiction of the Qi State Mansion for the time being. Because of Huangshi's deep-seated uneasiness about the right not to supervise, the power of the Ministry of Defense is quite small at present, and most of the power is delegated to the defense departments of the provinces, whose financial situation can be supervised by the provincial secretaries.

"How many people are there in a full division?"

"Of 13,000 people, one battalion of Li Shun has two wings, and one of our divisions has three infantry regiments, and the artillery, vehicles, and horses attached to our division are not comparable to Li Shun's battalion." Shi Tianyu's tone was full of pride, and he told Huang Naiming that in the future, if the situation permitted, the size of the division might be further expanded, and more independent units would be strengthened for it.

"It's useless to just have equipment." In Fujian, Huang Naiming was very concerned about army building, but Huang Shi let him see it for himself, and Huang Naiming still remembered the fiasco of the first battle in Hangzhou.

"Do you need to say that?" Shi Tianyu had a proud expression on his face, he had been staying in Guangdong for the past few years, first receiving training at the military academy, then teaching others, and finally coming out to lead the troops, he asked rhetorically: "Which army is the most effective in the north?" ”

"The Guards Battalion, this battalion was trained by General Xu, and he taught this battalion almost everything he learned at the New Army Military Academy, and I calculated that the average training time of the officers and men in this battalion is four to five months, which is already longer than the training time of the New Army back then. After so many years of fighting on the battlefield, the people inside have mastered what they learned from General Xu back then. ”

"What a new army, that group of broken ***." Shi Tianyu was disdainful of the kind of troops of the New Army that had been trained for three or four months: "Now all the soldiers in Guangdong have to stay on the training ground for 18 months, and we have already trained three batches of 25,000 soldiers, and there will be a batch of soldiers trained in two months and eight months later." ”

Huang Naiming whistled lightly: "Spent a lot of money, right?" ”

"Of course, at first, the Guangdong Provincial Secretary was reluctant to give money, but since the defeat of the Beiyu, the wind direction has changed, and the doctors began not to mention the issue of tax cuts. At the beginning of the year, hey, since Li Shun said that he would resume taxation, and now when the Guangdong Defense Department went to ask the Provincial Secretary for money, they not only gave enough, but also took the initiative to ask the Defense Department if they needed more money. This kind of weather made the morale of the Ming army officers high, and seeing the soldiers being trained in batches, young officers like Shi Tianyu had a sense of impatience: "In addition to the guard battalion, Li Shun also has that strong army?" ”

"And their armored battalion is not bad, the western battalion under General Li has been trained for more than three months on average, and the others are much worse, Li Shun counts down from the eleventh infantry wing, there is only about a month of training time, and the next twenty or so have basically not been trained, it is completely an old-style army, just a name."

"When fighting against the Beiyu, those outstanding troops, didn't Li Shun pull them back for training for a few months?"

"Li Shun didn't do this, as far as I know, it's just to replenish the soldiers, I guess they don't have that much money at all."

"That's just a fish belly, as long as you don't train your troops seriously, you won't be able to fight any elite troops just by fighting, even if you are stronger than other armies, you are limited, and you can't afford to lose a battle, and you will be completely defeated in a battle." Shi Tianyu believes that training is like going to school, reading and reading, and fighting a war is actual training, although the combat effectiveness of an army that has not really fought in training alone may not be comparable to that of an army that has seen the battlefield but has never trained seriously, but the combat effectiveness of an army that has been trained for a long time will improve rapidly, and they will soon be able to truly master what they have learned: "It is best that before meeting Li Shun's main battalions, our sons and daughters have the opportunity to fight with the enemy army somewhere, even if it is a civilian training." ”

"Brother Shi wants to strike first?"

"Of course." Fujian has also used the past few years to train tens of thousands of soldiers, and many officers there have the same idea as Shi Tianyu, wanting to take the initiative to train the troops, just like Huangshi did in Changsheng Island back then, and let them go to the battlefield in time to gain experience after training the soldiers.

"This is impossible, I'll secretly tell Brother Shi the bottom of it, Jia Yan must let Li Shun shoot the first shot."

"Why? If we encounter Li Shun's main battalions as soon as we come up, we will lose a lot. ”

"Because even the people training on Li Shun's side are also us Chinese, our compatriots and brothers, and when we recover the north in the future, we will still be a family, so we cannot sneak attack them, let alone use them as targets for military training." Huang Naiming is not an officer like Shi Tianyu, under the influence of his father, he realized that sometimes the military has to make way for politics, Huang Shi intends to implement an electoral system such as the Provincial Secretary Yuan after recovering other provinces, if it creates a lot of unnecessary hatred, this may lead to long-term people's hearts and regions. On the opposite side of waging a war, Huang Shi also knows very well that *** government will have more concerns, compared to *** government will be much more constrained, and this is still a civil war, so it is even more necessary to consider the impact on the future: "As for Li Shun's main battalions, Brother Shi doesn't have to worry, do you think we will take the initiative to attack them as soon as we come up?" After Li Shun fired the first shot, of course we would first take a defensive position against these elites. Anyway, there are just a few, Li Shun has millions of soldiers, and more than 900,000 are all about the same tattered as the army in the hands of the first emperor. ”

Unconsciously, the two of them walked to the door of the Guangdong Provincial Academy, and Shi Tianyu asked: "Today is the consultation day in Guangdong, after my brother returned to Fujian, have you watched the debate of the Academy?" ”

"I came out before the consultation day in Fujian." The so-called consultation day is the day when the chief executive of each province receives questions from the court, and it is also one of the systems pursued by each province.

"What a coincidence, today is Guangdong Consultation Day, brother, let's go and take a look, people from the north are very new to this, and my brother is almost a northerner now."

The two people walked to the door of the Qingyuan, the doorman checked the registration form, confirmed that there were still spectator seats vacant, and then let them in, the two people gently walked into the hall of the Qingyuan, and there were indeed many empty chairs on the spectator seats, except for many reporters from the Dibao newspaper in Guangdong, almost no people were observing.

"At first, it was always full, but after a few years, everyone went their own way, and occasionally when a caravan from the north came, most of their men would take leave to come and observe." After Shi Tianyu and Huang Naiming found a good place to sit down, the former introduced the latter.

It didn't take long for the governor of Guangdong to appear in the court with several staff and assistants, and the governor of a province was the supreme administrator of a province, and Huang Shi weighed it and felt that the governor was more powerful than the governor, so he canceled the latter.

"This is Governor Li Fengjiao, a member of the Labor Party," Shi Tianyu whispered background information to Huang Naiming, pointing to a small group of people in the distance and said: "These seem to be from the Labor Party, and they are in league with Governor Li." The small peasant party over there is an ally of the Labour Party, and has been in the same nostril as the Labour Party for more than a year. Over there is the Kuomintang, and over there is the Donglin Party......"

When Shi Tianyu introduced the various parties one by one, someone from the Labour Party stood up and asked: "Your Excellency, on the 12th of this month, you personally inspected the slums in the east of the city. ”

Li Fengjiao said with a smile on his face: "This governor is committed to benefiting the people of Guangdong, I only hate the art of no doppelganger, can not read the people's feelings, the 12th of this month happens to be my rest day, I think instead of drinking tea at home, it is better to visit the poor people of Guangzhou around me, ask them what they need, what are their dissatisfaction with the work of this governor......

Huang Naiming listened to it with relish, but Shi Tianyu next to him was a little disdainful: "What's so good about the problem of stinky feet?" ”

After the Labour Party had finished speaking, the next person who stood up to ask a question was a small peasant doctor, who asked Li Fengjiao: "Your Excellency, on the 15th of this month, you spoke to the Canton Xinbao about trying to increase the funding for the schools in the province. ”

"Ten years of trees, 100 years of people......"

When Li Fengjiao began to talk eloquently again, Shi Tianyu complained softly: "Another one with stinky feet." ”

"I have an idea......"

When Li Fengjiao was continuing to speak, a few sarcastic tones floated out from the audience:

"Ah, he said he had an idea."

"Oops, Governor Li has an idea!"

"Silence!" The Speaker snorted.

Huang Naiming saw Li Fengjiao as if he hadn't heard this voice at all, and continued to talk about his ideals without pause.

After finishing speaking, it was the turn of the Kuomintang doctor to ask questions, Huang Naiming saw that a doctor in the front row was already ready to go, and before the speaker's voice fell, he stood up on the ground: "On the first day of this month, Governor Li issued a report saying that he allocated 100,000 taels of silver to the Department of Public Health last month, but in fact it was only 10,000 taels, is this your intention to embezzle?" ”

"Of course not, how could I have such a thought?" Li Fengjiao hurriedly explained: "It is indeed 10,000 taels that are not wrong, and when I dictated to the clerk, I also said 10,000 taels, but the clerk made a mistake when recording it, and it was mistakenly recorded as 100,000 taels." This is not an account book, but a report to all of you, even if you really don't find out, I can't embezzle money because of such a report. I'm not stupid......"

"He said he wasn't stupid!"

Huang Naiming heard an evaluation voice rushing out of the group of doctors.

"Silence!" The Speaker slapped the startled wood again.

As if he hadn't heard the ridicule of the province at all, Li Fengjiao continued to explain to himself: "And this mistake was discovered immediately, and I was already aware of it when the princes of the Qing Yuan discovered this mistake, and the revised report was sent here in the afternoon of the same day, and from the perspective of time, it was obviously discovered by the Governor's Mansion itself." The Governor's Office corrected the error as quickly as possible, not only did it deliver the correct report within the allotted time, but it also did not send the error to the individual newspapers......"

This topic aroused Huang Naiming's interest, and he listened carefully.
