Chapter 388: Puzzle

The book is always shallow, in other words, practice brings true knowledge, this is not wrong at all, in the face of the problem of the reform of the firearms battalion, Yinzuo is worried, eager to drill a wormhole in time and space, and run back to the original time and space to kidnap a few officers to help him reorganize the army, of course, it can only be a beautiful fantasy. You can think about it, but things can't be done blindly, the command of the firearms unit and the era of cold weapons are completely different two systems, although Yinzuo has all kinds of regulations in his mind, command art and the like, but when Yinzuo wants to put these things on the expanded firearms battalion, he finds that it is not the case at all.

With people, more than 10,000 carefully selected soldiers mobilized from the Fengtai Battalion, Xishan Jianrui Battalion, Shandong Admiral Yamen and other troops are naturally strong and strong; Guns and ammunition are also available, but in addition to sending guns and ammunition to the firearms operation in an endless stream, the Tianjin Gun and Artillery Bureau, which is focusing on production, also has a lot of guns, cannons, ** and other surplus materials that are constantly mobilized to the Xi'an forward supply base; There was no shortage of horses, and a whole cavalry brigade of 3,000 men was drawn from the banner battalions; The basic training in the use of firearms is not a big problem, and there are a large group of veterans who have been trained for nearly a year, and they can barely make do; There is a shortage of officers at all levels, so there is no way to do this, so he can only pull out the general among the dwarves, and let Liao Hua be a pioneer; Commissar? Hey, the last thing Yinzuo lacks is this thing, and there are still a lot of "dark arrow" personnel waiting to be on duty. In this way, it shouldn't be a big problem to reorganize a modern army, right? Unfortunately, in fact, the opposite is true, the problem is just too big!

In this era, whether it is a front-loading gun or a more advanced rear-loading gun, its rate of fire is not fast enough, just take the rear-loading needle pistol made by Yinzuo, a well-trained shooter, can shoot fifteen to twenty rounds per minute is already a qualified soldier, if it cannot form an effective continuous fire, how can it block the impact of the cold-weapon cavalry, if there is a close combat, the spear equipped with a bayonet is not much better than a burning stick. A small team of 1,000 people is easy to solve, but the big deal is to divide into a dozen or so phalanxes like the original exercise, and command them by the sound of drums, but what about when it comes to the scale of 10,000 people? Divided into more than 100 phalanxes? Hey, that's, of course! In fact, the more modern the army, the more it pays attention to coordination, and it is a good thing that it has strong firepower, but if it is not well coordinated, it will inevitably bombard its own infantry with its own artillery, and the target of its own infantry is its own cavalry.

Obviously, the command mechanism of the cold weapon era is completely inapplicable at this point, and the old command mechanism with ten, hundred, and thousand personnel must be eliminated and replaced by three or three establishments, and the establishment of squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, divisions, and armies will naturally have to be introduced; although there is still a lack of a large number of staff officers, and there is also a lack of high-quality senior commanders, we must first put up the shelves before we talk about it, and in this way, the problem arises -- the reform of the military system is not something that the emperor can count on alone, that is to pass the court, and you have to pass the head of the Eight Banners, the ancestral system is there.

It's a big problem this time, isn't it? The big war is about to begin, and the time left for Yinzuo to train the army is only about half a year, and by the middle of October, whether Seryov has been dispatched or not, Yinzuo has to lead the army to set off, it takes time to train recruits, it takes time to drill infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and it takes time to train officers, although the gang of "dark arrows" personnel are very dedicated, but the problem is that they themselves are novices, can there be less trouble encountered in training? And in this era, only Yinzuo, a theoretical half-bucket water expert, can still come in handy, and spending a lot of time to help the "dark arrow" personnel has become Yinzuo's daily homework, in addition, normal court affairs are enough for Yinzuo to be busy, and he has to be carefully deployed to dig a good grave for the old eight, so many affairs are entangled, how can Yinzuo have time to toss and persuade the eight banners to be stubborn - Yinzuo has not tried, but the eight banners magnates are unwilling to let go of this mouth this time, And Yinzuo didn't want to force the Eight Banners to give in without solving the old eight, so that the possibility of solving the problem of the command system from the surface would be in vain.

It is impossible not to solve the problem of the command system, and it was solved privately in the firearms battalion without the knowledge of the Eight Banners? Hey, it's beautiful, there are no doors! Many soldiers in the firearms battalion are all children of the Eight Banners, and they are mixed when they have a lot of mouths, if they are poked out, even if Yinzuo is the emperor, he is detained for a disorderly life, and he is charged with violating the ancestral system, ha, the old eight and other brothers will have to be busy, impeaching Yinzuo for a crime of disrespecting the ancestors, and it is not uncommon to encourage a referendum on the Eight Banners, even if Yinzuo can get lucky and get through the test and keep the throne, yes, his reputation is all ruined, and then Yinzuo has no idea what to change, if it is not good, he will be knocked out of power, In addition to taking advantage of the massacre of the soldiers, how can there be a second way to go, the domestic chaos is a foregone conclusion, the external enemy has not been eliminated, and his family has opened flowers, and Yinzuo's scalp is numb when he thinks about it.

What to do? The living can't be suffocated by urine, right? But Yinzuo really can't think of any good ideas for this problem, except for Fang Linggao and Lin Xuanyi among the courtiers, Yinzuo can't tell others about this, otherwise the cute "ancestor" mantra will sound, but the problem is that Fang Linggao and Lin Xuanyi don't understand military affairs, Yinzuo spent his old nose to explain for a long time, these two people still don't understand what to make a fuss about a compilation problem, and they are so angry that Yinzuo is so angry that they simply don't bother to discuss with others, and they hide in the palace of their hearts and ponder blindly.

The idea of stealing the concept, Yinzuo has not thought about it, but the problem is that the existing command mechanism can't do it by just relying on a conversion concept, just take the general, it's no problem to treat him as a company commander, but there are ten Shi commanders at the bottom, and it's good to count as squad leaders, but where is the platoon commander? There is no military attache in the middle, and it is the same when it comes to President Qian, and President Qian is also a regiment commander, anyway, they are all soldiers in charge of more than one person, but there are only ten generals at the bottom, what about the battalion commander? It is easy for a thousand commanders to command a thousand soldiers with cold weapons, but can it be done to command ten companies at the same time? There is no military attache between the general manager and the general manager, how to make a battalion level? As for the upper division, there is not much of a problem, there are so many generals, guerrilla generals, staff generals, deputy generals, and so on, and it is not a problem to fall upside down, and the bias is that the grassroots level cannot bypass it. Of course, if some idle officers in the local garrison troops, such as Wei Qianzong (from the sixth grade, the banner camp Qianzong Shi Zheng Liupin) were forced to carry into the field troops, this problem would be solved, but in this way, it would still violate the ancestral system, and there would still be a big mess.

Ancestor, ancestor! Yinzuo had a headache when he thought of the messy ancestral system, he really didn't expect to work hard to get a firearms unit, and when it came to embark on the road of regularization, he ran out of a Yinzuo originally thought that it would be easy to solve the establishment problem, and it also had a relationship with the ancestral system such a "tight spell" - those gang of Eight Banners refused to let go, to put it bluntly, it was very simple, I just didn't want to watch the advantages of the Eight Banners bow and horse being offset by firearms, although Yinzuo wanted to send troops to bomb this gang of old people to pieces, But I can only think about it in my heart, and I can't actually do it.

Sick of it! Yinzuo drank the tea in the tea bowl in one gulp with resentment, this is already the twentieth bowl of tea that Yinzuo drank in half an hour, but the solution to the problem Ziwu didn't come up with, so angry that Yinzuo wanted to scold his mother. Just as Yinzuo was about to deal with the twenty-first bowl of tea, Li Dequan tiptoed in, bowed down, and said softly: "Qiqi Sheng, the fourteenth master is here, saying that he wants to resign." ”

"Well, tell him to come in." Yinzuo just issued an edict two days ago, drove Lao Jiu back to Tangling, kicked Lao Eleven to Xining, asked Li Ke to clean up a waste warehouse, and sent Lao Shi to guard the warehouse. The old fourteenth went to the Shanghai Navigation School to inspect with Yinzuo's holy decree, but he only gave a name, but did not stipulate the time, that is to say, Yinzuo did not speak, and the old fourteen did not say that he would return to Beijing, and even Tianjin Aviation School could not return. The old fourteen is different from the two wasted talents of the ninth and tenth, Yinzuo will still use him in the future, and the dignity that should be given will naturally be given.

"The younger brother has seen the saint, long live my emperor, long live, long live." As soon as the old fourteen entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, he walked quickly to the dragon table, knelt down, and bowed very respectfully.

"Excuse me, get up." Although Yinzuo had something in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, and waved his hand, so that the old fourteen didn't have to be polite.

"Brother Xie Zhu Longen." The old fourteenth etiquette has made a full set, and his meticulous appearance makes Yinzuo feel a little useful in his heart, and he smiled and said: "Fourteenth brother, I asked you to go to Shanghai this time because I want you to learn a few tricks from Qiao Shan, and in the future, I will also make Tianjin Weihang School a naval academy, and I have high hopes for you." ”

"Yes, the younger brother must learn from Qiao Shan, and he will not disappoint the holy will." Old Fourteen replied very calmly.

"Okay, that's good, well, when does the fourteenth brother plan to leave, I will let Hongli send you on my behalf." Yinzuo nodded.

The old fourteen lowered his head and said, "Brother I don't dare, I plan to leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Tomorrow? So rushed? Oh, it's okay, go early, learn the real skills early, it's a good thing, I won't keep you much, you kneel down. Yinzuo smiled.

"Yes, the minister retired." The old fourteen kowtowed, got up, and was about to leave the room with a huff, Yinzuo suddenly thought of the preparation problem, beckoned and said: "Slow, old fourteen, I still have something to ask you, this is the case...... Do you think how to solve it? "Yinzuo actually didn't have much hope for himself, but the dead horse was treated as a live horse doctor, and he just asked casually, Yinzuo didn't think that the old fourteen really could solve this matter.

The fourteenth elder was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought about it, and suddenly said with a smile: "Qi Qi Sheng, this matter is actually not difficult, it's just that the Holy Lord wants to take out more silver." ”

"Oh?" As soon as Yinzuo heard that there was a way to solve the problem, he immediately became happy, as long as he could get things done with money, Yinzuo didn't mind paying out of his pocket, and the money in his hand was already too much to spend, so he smiled and said, "Anyway, I listen." ”

"Isn't it just a matter of rank, anyway, the firearms battalion was originally a carefully selected arrogant general, and the emperor simply issued a decree to promote everyone to a higher level of official, so that this official position will not come out, and the total number of soldiers who can be brought is still those soldiers, so that there are more officers and fewer soldiers, and the saint can issue an edict to reduce the number of soldiers under the control of officials above the guerrilla general, so that it will not be solved, even if the group of fools turn out of the ancestral system, they can't stop it." Old Fourteen said with a playful smile on his face.

Well, although this stinky boy's idea is a little rancid, it really doesn't violate the ancestral system, at least it doesn't contradict each other, and when this battle is over, let's get rid of the old eight, and there is no backbone of the trouble, go back and clean up the old stubborn ones, and let the disobedient ones go back to eat their own, change a few obedient ones to come up, clean up one by one, and see what those bastards use to fight with Lao Tzu! Hehe, at that point, what we say will become the ancestral system! Yinzuo was very happy in his heart, laughed, walked off the dragon chair, came to the side of the old fourteen, patted the old fourteen on the shoulder and said: "Okay, this idea is good, I will be approved, hahaha......"

After laughing for a while, the old fourteen bowed down and said, "Brother retired." ”

"Well, go, after some time, I will give you the will, and I will not treat my brother badly." The corners of Yinzuo's mouth hooked, revealing a mysterious smile. The old fourteen didn't dare to look more, and withdrew from the hall with his head down.

Hehe, Lao Fourteen looks a lot older, good, there is growth, well, Lao Wu's vision is really accurate, ***, it's just a personal essence, it's a pity to be crippled, alas, there are ten unsatisfactory things in life, this is everyone's life. Yinzuo thought for a while in a daze, and said loudly: "Li Dequan, pass on my will......"
