Win the Ding 1617

Everyone saw He Yingguan's eyes filled with tears of excitement, but they were too embarrassed to run on him.Such an honest man who goes forward desperately in every battle, but does not fight or snatch awards when evaluating merits, who has the nerve to tease him at this time?On the contrary, many people stepped forward to congratulate him in a low voice.

"Old He, the lord entrusts you with this important task, you must handle it well, don't lose the lord's great love for you, and also lose our sailors."

As the admiral of the navy, Zheng Zhilong naturally encouraged He Yingguan a few words, even though he couldn't remember the name of this guy named He at this time.

"It's about hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the entire army, and it's even more about the great cause of the Lord, so you must not be careless!"

As Lao He's direct supervisor, Shi Lang naturally spoke in a different tone.However, he was sure that He Yingguan's idea really came from dozens of battles with the Liao thieves.

One of the field tactics of the Liao thieves at that time was to send a small number of troops to harass with firearms or bows and arrows during the battle, luring the Ming army's firearms to fire first, and wait until the Ming army's firearms fired a round, and then the Qing demon brigade charged or opened fire , Generally speaking, the Ming army will definitely collapse if you play like this.

For this tactic of the Liao thieves, the Ming army also felt pain and hatred to the bone.It is reflected in the notes and letters of various Ming people. "In the early years of Dongnu, he also used fire blunderbuss. He often lured me with false blunderbusses. After our real blunderbusses were fired, the thief slaves took the opportunity to rush up. However, the soldiers fired the blunderbusses and reloaded them again. Unavoidably, they were in a hurry. The slave thieves attacked with a large group of iron cavalry. , spears and halberds, our army is often defeated."

Although the discipline and training level of the Southern Guangdong Army determined that they would not be lured by the Liao thieves to open fire casually, but in the battle on the Liaodong Peninsula, the harassment of the Southern Guangdong Army by the scattered soldiers of the Qing army, large and small, made Shi Lang overwhelmed. bother.It caused a lot of trouble to the march of the brigade, not to mention other bad effects, the brigade stopped advancing.Guard a large number of people in the middle, and then find a way to get rid of those annoying guys before moving on.In this way, not only time is lost in the ice and snow, but also the consumption of morale and physical strength is huge.

If it's really the same as the battalion officer's idea, it can manufacture and equip firecrackers that can shoot continuously like a Francophone.Even if it is only equipped in a few troops.In this case, if there is another similar surprise attack mission to deal with a small group of Liao thieves harassing the team, or to encounter Liao thieves cavalry in the plains and wilderness, at this time, this kind of Flang machine gun (Shi Daguan couldn't think of it for a while) How to name this new type of gun that is about to be developed and manufactured has to be called the Frang machine gun.) It just came in handy.

"In the future, even if there is only one sentry in each battalion in the Lu camp equipped with such firecrackers, I will use them to deal with the harassing troops of the Liao thieves. Anyway, there are not many people in the first sentry, and even if they fire randomly, it will have no effect on the overall situation, and they Easy to fill up!"

Shi Lang pondered for a while the impact of weapon innovation on his troops.In this short period of time, as the leader of the tea party, Li Shouhan's topic went deeper.

Just at this moment, Li Shouhan has brought the topic to today's meeting place.

"In the Battle of Tashan, the Guards Brigade basically broke through the Liao bandits' defensive line. Why did Li Huamei's commander-in-chief flag be hit by stray bullets from the Liao bandits due to a very accidental incident? Could it be that our Nanyue Army's brigade Like those officers and rogues in the interior, can they only rely on the commanders and commanders to charge forward with a small number of elite backbones to complete combat missions?!"

Li Shouhan had a calm face.Lin Sheng said these words, and the faces of the officers of the Guards Brigade instantly turned blood red.

"My lord! Absolutely not!"

"My lord, we were only worried about the safety of the eldest lady!"

The generals of the Guards Brigade, from the brigade commander Mo Yu down to the ordinary battalion officers, if it wasn't for the fact that Li Shouhan couldn't act presumptuously in front of Li Shouhan, they might have jumped up and debated with each other with their fists.

As the general who was present at the time and participated in the Battle of Tashan.Now that he is Li Huamei's husband-in-law again, Shi Lang is obliged to come out and explain a few words for the generals of the Guards Brigade no matter what angle he looks at.Before Zheng Zhilong could give him a hint, Shi Lang got up and left his seat, and knelt down in front of Li Shouhan.

"Father commander, if you want to blame the generals of the guard brigade, I think it's a bit unfair!" Unintentionally, Shi Lang once again overstepped.You know, Li Shouhan at this time is just a black prince.Although the imperial court issued a decree to confer him the Duke of Ning, Li Shouhan resigned because he disliked the title of Duke Ning.The new title has not yet come down.What's more, even a serious Duke, with Shi Lang's status, absolutely cannot call himself a minister!

Although there were many people in the courtyard, it was noisy, and the excited generals of the guard brigade couldn't care about the loopholes in Shi Lang's words for a while, but Zheng Zhilong heard it clearly, and Zheng Sen, who was next to him, heard it even more Cheerful.

"On the day of Tashan's defeat, my ministers were also on the battlefield. The responsibility was not with the Guards Brigade and the Marine Army. On the contrary, when the Liao thieves spread rumors and shouted the rumors of the death of the princess on the entire battlefield, we still struggled to rectify them. The battalion launched a fierce attack. If it weren't for the fact that the various departments of the Liaodong government that belonged to our army were flustered and collapsed first, I am afraid that Dorgon might not be able to get the benefits. Qiu Minyang gathered his own soldiers of the Fubiao battalion first, causing confusion on the entire battlefield , affecting the flanks of our army. If we don’t withdraw, we will be surrounded and defeated by the rebels and Liao thieves. The princess decided to retreat at this time, and he deserves nothing. .”

"At that time, the princess mastered the timing precisely, the Guards Brigade attacked fiercely and continuously, and there were already corpses everywhere at the foot of Hongluo Mountain. The front line collapsed, but Jiannu was not of the same generation. They quickly dispatched reinforcements to stabilize the front line, which prevented an immediate collapse. At that time, my wife judged that the enemy army was at the end of its strength, and it was only necessary to take advantage of the gap to attack, and the enemy would not be able to support it. So my wife ordered the commander-in-chief to move forward. Commanding forward, he was also very excited. The whole army charged with bayonets bravely. According to the confession of the captured prisoners, there was no other way for Jiannu at that time. Facts have proved that his wife's judgment is completely correct. A very fatal blow."

"And after the flag of the county commander was broken, the Guards Brigade did not lose its fighting spirit. Instead, under the leadership of Lu Yunsheng, it launched a more violent attack. If it wasn't for the collapse of the Ming army, and we had to protect our own safety on the one hand, On the one hand, we must cover the retreat of friendly troops. Dorgon's tens of thousands of horses will inevitably be surrounded by us at the seaside. What awaits them will also be the fate of being completely annihilated."

Seeing that Shi Lang was cleansing himself up in an orderly manner, if the officers of the Guards Brigade and the Navy's Land Battalion don't take the opportunity to express themselves at this time, then there is no need to mess around!

"My lord, it's not that we are disadvantaged in the battle, but I never thought that the officers and soldiers of the towns in Liaodong would be so useless! During the Battle of Tashan, they were given more than 20 stones of food and grass, and a large number of weapons and supplies. As a result, our people just left. Their guards were taken over by the Liao thieves. What was even more unexpected was that these Liao thieves who had followed Huang Taiji's order to escort food and supplies to Tashan became the last force in Dorgon's hands!"

"My lord. If there is something wrong with the battle of Tashan, the princess, it is because I don't know enough about the situation of the Liaodong armies. I never thought that this generation would be so corrupt! I just thought that the Liaodong officers and soldiers might collapse, and some battalions collapsed or even collapsed." They were preparing to mutiny and join the enemy, but they never thought that tens of thousands of them would yell and run away in unison!"

"If you have to be held accountable for the defeat in the Liaodong War, then please ask the commander-in-law to forgive the crime. I think the biggest responsibility lies with you. This time he went to the north to serve as the king, and he should underestimate the enemy's wave battle. The two victories of King Qin came more easily. I decided that this time was the same. But I completely forgot that this Liaodong war, for the Liao rebels, was not like entering the pass and looting, but a life-and-death battle that bet on the fate of the country! Affected by this emotion, our southern Guangdong army went north to the north with tens of thousands of troops from top to bottom. They all thought that the Liao thieves were just scabies, a bunch of jumping clowns! But they completely forgot that this group of Liao thieves started from the Wanli period. After several dynasties, the Ming court repeatedly lost troops and land. The consumption of Liao's salary was more than tens of millions, and the loss of officers and soldiers was hundreds of thousands."

"Father Commander's fault, the fault lies in the fact that Father Commander is just a person, a human being with a mortal body. If it is God's word, he has infinite energy and infinite wisdom. He can think everything thoroughly and never miss anything. But the problem is that you are not the commander-in-chief, so as long as the commander-in-chief is still a person and still has to do everything by himself, then mistakes are inevitable."

"Since Liaodong and Wu Zongbing were on their way back to the division, I have been entangled in why this battle failed. On the way back south, I had time to calm down and think about it. In fact, my father-in-law is also a fan of the authorities. My father-in-law has actively promoted it before. The combination of two parameters, one change and three, should actually be promoted in the military as well."

"Father Marshal has always said that those who are officials and commanders should not learn from Zhuge Liang. The practice of doing everything by yourself is the worst. How many nails can a person covered in iron be able to drive? And Father Marshal has promoted two The key to the combination of participating in one reform and three is to let more people participate in the work, pool their brains and efforts, and gather the strength of everyone to do one thing. In this case, why should the father-in-law have to do everything by himself. My son is dull, but he dares to speak out. The father-in-law is mainly in charge of decision-making, and the details are handed over to a dedicated department. For example, if there is another battle of King Qin, the father-in-law just decides whether to fight or not. How to guarantee logistics, enlist soldiers, plan ships, mobilize the people, etc. After these plans are drawn up, it is up to the father-in-law to decide which plan to adopt. In this way, the father-in-chief can get rid of a lot of heavy work, and the subordinates can also gain Exercise, and since they only have the right to make plans, they don't have the right to direct, and they don't have to worry about getting too big."

After listening to Shi Lang's long speech, everyone in the room was delighted but also broke out in a cold sweat.Happily, Shi Lang praised all the troops and horses with his words, and analyzed the responsibility for the defeat of Tashan and the loss of tens of thousands of Liaodong officials and troops, clearing everyone of their guilt.However, Shi Lang's continuous remark directly put the responsibility on Li Shouhan's head. Even if you are the lord's new son-in-law and become a hot fried chicken, do you, Shi Lang, feel that you are living too comfortably?

However, Shi Lang's performance was questioned by researchers many years later. It was the Weng and his son-in-law who had colluded beforehand, at least they had a tacit understanding!

At this moment, although Li Shouhan's face was sinking like water, his heart was full of ecstasy. "Good! This is a good son-in-law!"

Shi Lang's performance just paved the way and mobilized for Li Shouhan's upcoming task!

This time, the progress in many directions of King Qin in the north was set back, which was far from the invincible scenery of the previous two times when he went north to King Qin. Li Shouhan found this scene very painful.I have changed as the enemy has changed. The Ming army has made great progress in combat effectiveness with the support and help of the Southern Guangdong Army at all costs. However, similarly, the Liao bandits also compiled and trained the Eight Banners Han Army long in advance.The blunderbuss team of the coated soldiers, which had never appeared in history, also appeared. They used the copycat version of the Nanzhong blunderbuss and used the tactics of subduing the tiger and opening the mountain to attack the Southern Guangdong Army and the Ming Army.

The continuous expansion of the scale of the war, the emergence of various new tactics, and the intricate relationship between the various armies and ministries of the enemy and our friends made Li Shouhan feel that the existing weapons and command system of the Southern Guangdong Army were not enough to face the current war situation.

It is still a bit difficult to deal with Abatai who is traveling thousands of miles in Shandong, Zhili and other places, so if he encounters Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other troops who are more good at mobile combat in the future.So what?

Therefore, Li Shouhan planned to upgrade the current military institutions such as the battalion affairs office and military department.

In his mind, the reform of the above-mentioned military organization of the Southern Guangdong Army should be divided into the command department of combat and the departments of military orders, military training, and military supplies.

His eyes were full of satisfied smiles. He originally planned to coordinate the reform of the military system with the generals in the army. After all, this was a matter that touched the interests and habits of the army.If not done well.I'm afraid it's not just combat power that's lost.But now he doesn't need to bother thinking about this approach.

Shi Lang's clarification was to protect the generals in the army, secretly accusing Li Shouhan.In fact, it was a long speech that helped him to do some ideological work for the generals of the Southern Guangdong Army, which really saved Li Shouhan a lot of heart.

"Shi Lang, don't be presumptuous! How can you be so arrogant in front of the lord!?" After listening to Shi Lang's words, it took a long time for Mo Yu to react.We can't let Li Shouhan deal with Shi Lang first, otherwise Shi Lang will die in an ugly way!

"Come here!" Mo Yuqiao roared in a pretentious manner, "Take down this brat who acted recklessly in front of the lord, and take him to the back hall. Wait for the lord to deal with him!"

The soldiers also understood Lord Mo Yu's meaning very well, they just rushed in front of Shi Lang, yelled loudly, and prepared to escort Shi Lang to the back hall, but the yelling was loud and the steps were small.

"You guys also take your time, wait for me to finish my plan, and then see what this kid will do!" Li Shouhan couldn't help sneering in his heart, since it's time for the show, let's see whose acting skills are good enough Hold up the statuette!

Someone handed Li Shouhan a stack of paper, but Li Shouhan refused to look at it, so he just handed it to Mo Yu, "Second Mo, read it to everyone! Let this kid see if his old Taishan is old?" Confused!"

Mo Yu took the document with some confusion, ""Military System Reform Minutes"?" It turns out that the lord has already made up his mind, but it has not been published!If Shi Lang hadn't jumped out to accuse the lord today in order to clear everyone's name, I'm afraid the lord wouldn't have shown this document in a while!

All the generals present, Yaque, silently listened to Mo Yu reading this document aloud.

"... Each town has a command office. In this office, there is a general staff officer, Zanzuo orders, participating in the drawing, two first-class staff officers, two second-class staff officers, and the general staff officer.

. . . . . .

It took Mo Yu a full half an hour to finish reading, and the corners of his mouth were covered with foam, and everyone was mesmerized by it.If the Lord's strategy is followed, not only will it be impossible to form feudal towns and mountain tops, but even if the generals plan to turn against the water, they will be immediately tied up by their subordinates and sent to the Military Law Office.

"In the future, if you want to spend a penny, you need the approval of the manager!" Some people complained incessantly.

"My lord, I just heard what was said in the minutes. If the towns and ministries want to replenish soldiers and horses in the future, they must obtain the approval of the Military and Political Department before it can be done. Then, I don't know where the reserve soldiers and horses will be under the jurisdiction? Who will be in charge? People rule?"

"The reserve soldiers and horses everywhere, like the military and political department and other yamen, are directly under my lord! I am in command! Do you understand?!" (To be continued...)
