Qianlong nodded secretly, he still had a considerable understanding of the urine nature of the officials below: "According to what you say, there is no way to suppress this bandit?"

"That's not it," Fang Xiaoyu replied, "As long as the measures are in place and the planning is appropriate, let alone suppressing the bandits, it is not impossible to have zero casualties." ”

"Zero casualties?"

Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Prince Shuo, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but swallow the tea and coughed incessantly.

Although he knew that this kid could blow, but this kid was too good at blowing, and even said zero casualties, as we all know, since ancient times, this war is destined to die, killing 10,000 people and losing 3,000, this sentence is not just talking.

"Zero casualties, do you really dare to say?" Qianlong couldn't help but be happy: " As long as it is a war, it is going to die, that is, if you win, it is also 10,000 wounded enemies, 8,000 self-losses, usually the battle damage can be controlled in the enemy's casualties of 30%, then it is already a big victory, if you want not to die a person, it is simply impossible, if you can really control the war damage in 30%, uncle, I will ask someone to ask for credit to the court for you, although your uncle and I are just a businessman, but in the court still think that many court members, to say a word, it is still very effective. ”

Fang Xiaoyu suddenly smiled: "According to what you say, uncle, I should not kill this bandit!"

"What do you mean?" Qianlong was really a little puzzled by Fang Xiaoyu's words.

"What do you mean?" Fang Xiaoyu listened and rolled his eyelids upward: "Isn't this obvious?" The biggest reason why I only took my brothers to suppress bandits this time is to exercise the strength and ability of my brothers, although their skills are passable, but the actual combat ability is too poor, but the problem is that the master can pass on your skills, but the actual combat experience is to be accumulated by yourself in actual combat, otherwise when you meet a real master, that is the goods that are killed in seconds, but now it is the prosperous era of Qianlong, even if there is a real combat master, people should not fight with you, you must know that this punch and foot is eyeless, and if you kill someone, you will have to die, but there is no actual combat, your martial arts are practiced well, and it is only a boxing technique on the dojo, which is used to perform, entertainment is OK, but if you meet a real combat master, then you are looking for death, but it is different from those bandits and robbers, these robbers and bandits are not Jiangyang thieves, or bandits who rob homes and houses, kidnap and extort for ransom, many people are important criminals in the imperial court, we don't break the law by beating them, even if we beat them to death, it is also to serve the imperial court, and ask for the lives of the people, in addition, please get a reward from the imperial court. ”

"Is that right?"

Qianlong also deeply agreed with this.

"Look at the people who Lord Shuo invited to join me to suppress the bandits this time, they are all nobles among the eight surnames of the Manchu Dynasty, the old and the young, and all of them are either rich or expensive, their ancestors are the same as the Taizu, If they really want to lose 30% according to what your uncle said, then their family will not eat me alive, if I want to live a stable life in the future, then I have to ensure that these people are safe and all the best, otherwise it is better to wipe their necks with a knife first. ”

"That's just as well!"

Qianlong couldn't help but nodded. In fact, he is also very headache for the descendants of these Eight Banners, although these people's ability is not big, but the ability to cause trouble is not small, those imperial historians in the court can impeach these people more than once, but he can only press, put aside, you must know that behind these people represent a very strong force, this force even as a monarch He can not be offended.

"And how do you make sure they're thorough?"

Fang Xiaoyu replied: "I plan to divide the bandit team into two parts, one is the main force of my brothers and the masters of the palace, specializing in the suppression of bandits. ”

"Logistics?"

Fang Xiaoyu explained: "That is, the team responsible for clearing the spoils of the bandits, I am ready to let Prince Shuo and Fu Jin be responsible for this team, I think only Wang Ye and Fu Jin can suppress these people." ”

Qianlong nodded, Fang Xiaoyu's arrangement was indeed very proper, but who knew that He Shen said at this time: "Even if you put them into the logistics, it may not be able to guarantee their safety, maybe somehow they will meet the robbers who broke through?"

"Lack of strength, can only be made up for by tactics, I am ready to equip them with Zhuge crossbow, Zhuge crossbow is the king of long-range attacks on the battlefield in ancient times, after the transformation of the craftsmen of the past dynasties, its range and lethality, have been greatly improved, and his use of personnel is not so strict, unlike bows and arrows that require a long time of training, if it is combined with three-stage shooting, not to mention those bandits, it is more than a dozen masters of the rivers and lakes, then they all have to lie down. ”

"Not bad!"

Qianlong still knew the power of the repeater.

He Shen said at this time: "But the problem is that the repeater is a controlled weapon in the imperial army. ”

"I know this," Fang Xiaoyu pouted, "But do you think a few crossbows can stump these masters behind us?"

"That's just as well!"

It was Qianlong who said this, and he turned his gaze to the old Niu Colu clan: "I know that you have a few clothed minions in charge of supplies in the army, and even the matter of the crossbow will be handed over to you. ”

"If you want me to say, this is simply redundant," Prince Shuo said with disdain: "We are all people who grew up on horseback, and it is our own housekeeping ability to wield a knife and cut people, and a few little thieves can still hurt us. ”

Fang Xiaoyu listened to it and his head hurt: "So, Lord Wang, as soon as you see Tufei, you are going to go under the knife?"

"We are full of people, but we can win the world with bows and horses, am I afraid that these little thieves will not succeed, the prince?" ”

"the knife, I think you are brain-dead at all, I'll introduce you to a doctor when I go back. Fang Xiaoyu's mouth pursed.

Prince Shuo was angry: "Boy, I know that you are very good at archery, but Lord Wang, I was also the master who could shoot a hard bow when I was young, or we would compare." ”

"Say that you are brain-dead, I know that you are very good at fighting, and maybe fighting does not mean that you are also first-class in command," Fang Xiaoyu said unceremoniously: "Besides, we suppressed bandits this time, one is to make a fortune, and the other is to fight to the death with bandits, what are you not brain-dead? Besides, can you guarantee that the descendants of the Eight Banners who went to suppress the bandits this time will be able to fight like you, if they die for half of them, their families will not eat me." ”

Prince Shuo's mouth pursed: "I don't believe that you can protect their safety with a crossbow." ”

"That's where it comes to tactics," explains Fong, "Father Tom once told us that there is a Western tactic called three-stage shooting. ”

"Three-stage shot?"

Fang Xiaoyu explained: " Three-stage shooting was originally a tactic used by foreigners on the musket, which was used to change the drawbacks of the musket charging time for a long time, we can also use it in crossbowmen and archers, and this kind of battle is not a deep mystery to put it bluntly, it is to divide the archers into three rows of front, middle and back, and shoot at the opponent in turn, the first to shoot arrows to the enemy is the front row, after shooting, immediately squat, take the arrow and take the bow, give way to the back row, prepare for the next shot, after the middle row is finished, also squat, give way to the last row, after they shoot, the front row has completed the preparation of archery, you can get up and shoot the arrow to kill the enemy, this repeated cycle, the arrows can be continuously fired at the enemies who rush up, thus changing the pattern of only three arrows in battle. ”

When Qianlong heard this, his eyes lit up, this is indeed a tactic to change the pattern of war: "It's a bit interesting, so let's use this tactic to train these uncompetitive sewing disciples first, and if it proves that it is indeed feasible, we will promote it in the army," Then he turned his gaze to Prince Shuo: "Lord Hu Tu, this time you have finally recruited a useful talent, and it can be regarded as a surprise to me."

Prince Shuo's mouth pursed: "He's just a little smart, if it weren't for this king, I wouldn't look down on him if I wanted to use him?"

The old Niu Co Lu clan immediately said: "Since you don't like it, the prince, let us Niu Co Lu Mansion." ”

Prince Shuo immediately blew his beard and glared: "Get out of the way, what's the matter with you?"

Qianlong had already stood up at this time: "Okay, okay, I won't scratch you to choose people to suppress bandits here, this kid will let him as much as he wants, when the bandits will tell me to follow Heer, and we will also have a good time." Then he took He Shen away, but he walked a few steps but stopped, patted his head, turned to everyone and said: "That's it, I don't take advantage of you, I won't take advantage of you, I will go out for you, and you will report the number when you turn around, and you will take it from Heer, and that's it." ”

After Qianlong left with the gentry, Prince Shuo turned his gaze to Fang Xiaoyu: "Boy, how do you want to choose someone?"

Fang Xiaoyu replied: "Although I didn't expect you to be able to go into battle with me to cut people, but there is one thing you should always do, if you can't beat others, you can always run, running is the only way to save your life, you look at Uncle Liu Huang in the Three Kingdoms, everyone has run out of a Shu Han, my requirements are not high, people who want to go with me to suppress bandits and make war achievements, just run twenty laps in this courtyard, and our weapons are all equipped with crossbows, and strive to knock the enemy down without contact with the enemy." ”

Prince Shuo said angrily: "Lord Wang, I will also run with them." ”

"If the prince wants to follow the bandits, then he has to run. ”

"Believe it or not, lord, I'll kick you with a big foot?"

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "I said Lord Wang, you are fat enough, you should lose weight, I estimate that your body shape is the only one among the hundred officials, but you look at the beauty of Fujin, young and beautiful, you say that you are so fat, are you worthy of others?"

Prince Shuo said angrily: "Prince, I'm afraid of what's wrong, don't forget the prince, I am the master who can get on the horse and cut people, the last time the chaotic party let this king and I cut several, I want this king to play monkey tricks to show you, there is no door." ”

"You really don't lose weight, if Fujin dislikes you in the future, don't say I didn't remind you. ”

Prince Shuo said angrily: "Even if she dislikes me again, it will be my wife, and I will also be her husband." As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his voice: "Do you think Fujin really thinks I'm fat." ”

Fang Xiaoyu gave him a big roll of his eyes: "What do you say?" ”

"Okay, then I'll lose weight!"
