Chapter 81: Everyone Is Choosing (Part I)
Yang Dashuai...... Can you send troops to rescue me?! ”
It was Liu Yongfu who asked Yang Lie for help. It's not that Yang Lie recognizes Liu Yongfu's voice, but because only Liu Yongfu will ask Yang Lie for help, he will ask for help in this way.
At the beginning, on the condition of supporting Liu Yongfu's weapons and equipment, in exchange for Huang Feihong's wholehearted teaching of Yang Lie's national arts, Yang Lie sent a batch of weapons and equipment to Liu Yongfu, and as the relationship became closer and closer, Yang Lie would supplement some ammunition to Liu Yongfu from time to time.
It wasn't until the space-time wormhole was temporarily opened and the advance force of the expeditionary force arrived on this continent that Yang Lie once again sent a batch of equipment to Liu Yongfu, this time not only replenishing weapons, ammunition and other equipment, but also sending Liu Yongfu a set of communication equipment after establishing a base station.
Not only did he send Liu Yongfu communications equipment, but he also sent several soldiers of the expeditionary force to give tactical guidance, of course, only for guidance, and did not participate in any battles and commands.
In this way, Liu Yongfu relied on Yang Lie's equipment, and under the tactical guidance of the soldiers of the expeditionary force, he insisted on using tactics such as trenches and barbed wire and crossfire to fight the majority with a minority, and played a suppressive effect, so that the French army could not raise its head, and even more so that the French army was defeated and retreated.
Under the favorable situation, Liu Yongfu was somewhat complacent, and he was unwilling to let the soldiers of the expeditionary force find out too much about the military secrets of the Black Flag Army, so he simply sent the soldiers of the expeditionary force back.
Yang Lie didn't mind, he was originally doing it easily. Since the Black Flag Army doesn't need it, then it doesn't need it.
But now the situation has changed.
The French army suddenly attacked desperately, and unloaded the ship's guns, which exposed a fatal weakness of the Black Flag Army, there were no heavy weapons such as heavy artillery, and the strongest weapon was only the mortar given to them by Yang Lie.
After all, the Black Flag Army is only a feudal army, and its tactics, strategies and other ideas cannot be adapted to modern warfare at all, and even if the soldiers of the expeditionary force give tactical guidance, they are more just teaching them how to use weapons.
On the other hand, France, as one of the world's great powers, has its own set of advanced strategies and tactics. After the French army adopted inducement tactics and figured out the deployment of the Black Flag Army's mortars, round after round of heavy artillery bombardments directly smashed the Black Flag Army's mortar phalanx.
Now the French army is not only attacking desperately, but also massively increasing its forces, trying to take Annam in the fastest possible time.
Yang Lie instantly understood the strategic intent of the Gallic Rooster Land - interests. The Seven Nations Alliance came to attack Yang Lie, and in the eyes of the Gallic rooster, there was no difficulty at all, and Yang Lie was a cow and sheep to be slaughtered. The reason why the Gallic rooster wanted to take the colony of Annam so quickly was because of the land.
Later generations will know what the land of Annam is suitable for: tobacco soil. With the land of Annam, the Gallic rooster would have carved out a large number of plantations to grow tobacco soil. Moreover, Annam borders the Qing Dynasty, and the purification process obtained from Yang Lie can be made on the spot, so that the Gallic rooster will have a golden avenue of gold.
Under this strategic intention, the French army's offensive was suddenly strengthened, and Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army was defeated and retreated, even if the trench tactics were used again, but without long-range firepower, it was impossible to compete with the Gallic rooster, Liu Yongfu wanted to lead the Black Flag Army to hide in the forest, and use the superiority of light weapons such as five or six semi-automatic rifles to fight guerrilla warfare with the Gallic rooster, but he did not expect that the Gallic rooster had already laid a net and waited for the Black Flag Army.
As a result, the Black Flag Army was blocked on a lonely mountain, and the Gallic rooster laid layers of encirclement under the mountain, and it used barbed wire + trench tactics, and used heavy artillery bombardment at a long distance, so that the Black Flag Army could not rush to the front at all, let alone give full play to the advantages of light weapons.
What's more important is that the Gallic rooster will not give you a chance to fight in close combat at all, but blindly bombarded with heavy artillery and fought steadily, which made the Black Flag Army unacceptable, and when the ammunition was exhausted, Liu Yongfu was forced to have no choice but to ask Yang Lie for help.
"Condition!" Yang Lie said in a deep voice.
"It's all for the ...... of the imperial court"
"Stop! Liu Dashuai, Ming people don't say secret words, I don't believe that Master Huang Feihong Huang didn't pass on my measures to you, and I don't believe that there are no people like you in the two thousand Black Flag Army under my command, since you know my measures, then you should know what I'm going to do, and mentioning the imperial court is not only humiliating my wisdom, but also humiliating your wisdom......" Yang Lie immediately interrupted Liu Yongfu's words.
Silent.
Liu Yongfu was silent for a long time.
"What do you want?" Liu Yongfu asked slowly.
"You understand what I want."
"You're taking advantage of someone's danger!" Liu Yongfu said angrily.
"It's you, Liu Yongfu, who doesn't know what to do! Not only did I send you new equipment, but I also sent soldiers to teach you tactics suitable for new weapons, how did you do that? With the heart of a villain, he lived in the belly of a gentleman, and guarded against my people, just let the soldiers of the expeditionary force teach you how to use weapons, and you drove them back. ”
"As a result, you didn't have the corresponding tactics at all, and you were beaten by the Gallic rooster! Now I can't beat people, and I touched my upper lip and my lower lip and asked for help with white teeth, I Yang Lie saved you with affection, and it was my duty not to save you! I, Yang Lie, have never seen such a brazen person! Yang Lie said unceremoniously.
"You!" Liu Yongfu was so angry that he wanted to smash the communication equipment, but he didn't dare to smash it, couldn't smash it, and wouldn't smash it, because Yang Lie was his last hope.
"How do you settle my men and soldiers?" Liu Yongfu took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
"The soldiers are disrupted and re-trained to adapt to the use of new weapons under the situation of modern warfare, and all the officers and generals go to the military academy for further study, and they can only be delegated to the troops after completing the subjects they have studied and passing the examination, and the generals are only in charge of the battle, and the logistics, equipment, and military salaries are distributed by me in a unified and coordinated manner."
"Hiss~" Liu Yongfu took a cold breath, Yang Lie said simply, but if he really wants to do this, he directly breaks the tradition of soldiers as generals, how can generals control the soldiers under their hands, and not use money?
It is natural to be paid as a soldier.
Yang Lie did this, directly cutting off the means of the generals to control the soldiers, and also eliminated the possibility of the generals eating empty salaries, which is definitely a good thing for the soldiers, but it is very bad for the generals. Not to mention disrupting his subordinates, he has to go to the academy to study, even if he wants to control the army again after completing his training, the control will definitely not be the same as before, after all, the money is in Yang Lie's hands.
"How do you calculate your salary?" Liu Yongfu subconsciously asked.
"Soldiers of the second type are paid eight taels of silver a month; A soldier is paid twelve taels of silver per month; Special forces are paid 20 taels of silver per month; If the general is an officer, the squad leader is twenty taels; The platoon length is forty taels; company commander sixty taels; The battalion commander is one hundred taels; The head of the regiment is five hundred taels! The premise is that you have to pass the exam! In addition, the army had three meals a day, all of which were dry and full, and there was one meal of meat every three days. Yang Lie said very directly.
"Hiss~" This time, not only Liu Yongfu took a long breath, but the surrounding generals also took a breath. There is no taboo when Liu Yongfu and Yang Lie are on the phone, in fact, there is nothing to taboo, if Yang Lie does not come to the rescue, they will all die......
"Yang Lie, what a big deal! The most elite Huai army in the Qing Dynasty, their salaries were only half of what Yang Lie paid. And Huai Jun only has two meals, but Yang Lie has three meals, and all of them are dry, and there is meat every three days......" The generals and officers glanced at each other, and they were all shocked by Yang Lie's generosity, so they still need to eat empty salaries and drink soldiers' blood?
Liu Yongfu thought deeper, there must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, under such a high salary, not to mention that his generals will go to the military academy for further study, which will form a power vacuum, and it will be easy for Yang Lie to control the army.
Taking a step back, it is not to study, it will not take three months, as long as you wait until the moment Yang Lie is paid, all the soldiers of the Black Flag Army will be grateful to Yang Lie, and in the future, only Yang Lie will be known in the army, but not Liu Yongfu.
It's not that Liu Yongfu doesn't have enough control over the Black Flag Army, it's because Liu Yongfu has no money, and the Black Flag Army has not been paid for half a year.
But......
