Borrow the day to change the day

When he asked a few questions and got answers one by one from Zhong Jinwei, Cao Wenzhao, who had been in battle for a long time, didn't quite agree.But he has never seen a pure firearms army, an army with high firepower output fighting, so he chose to remain silent.

There is only one thing, he still told Zhong Jinwei, that is the problem of the helmet.

Zhong Jinwei forgot this point, and he slapped himself on the forehead after hearing Cao Wenzhao say that he had to make special steel helmets for the new army.

Because of the problem of refractory bricks, the steel factory was unable to mass-produce steel, and the quality was not very good.But it doesn't mean that there will be no steel, and you can still have it later.

Zhong Jinwei was thinking about this, when suddenly a yamen servant from the admiral's yamen came over and told: "Gonsa, the Folangji man, came to report by order."

As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard this, he stood up and said to Cao Wenzhao: "If you have nothing to do, stay with me and watch more training of the new army. In the future, the world of firearms will be the world, and your death camp will also be adapted."

"The last general obeys orders!" Cao Wenzhao immediately agreed with clasped fists.

He is now under Zhong Jinwei's command, and the leader ordered him to obey orders even if the world is not dominated by firearms.

After Zhong Jinwei ordered Cao Wenzhao, he turned to Sun Kewang and said, "You are on duty in the barracks today, go and call the five Jinyiwei school captains to the front office."

"Decree." Sun Kewang clasped his fists in response, and then went out first.

Then Zhong Jinwei came to the front office to sit down, and sent Gongsa to come to the lobby.

Gonza has been in Daming for a long time, and he knows who the young high-ranking official of Ming was.Therefore, when he came to the hall, he followed the rules of the Ming army and knelt down to see him as the Romans did.

Zhong Jinwei smiled and asked him to stand up, and then said to him: "I transferred you from Mr. Sun, just to prepare for your promotion."

Gonsa clasped his hands and was overjoyed, he immediately clasped his fists and replied: "Please give me your orders, Lord Marquis, the general will not hesitate to do so."

Zhong Jinwei saw that the Portuguese was quite shrewd, and knew that he would not be promoted for no reason.

He smiled and said to Gonza: "I formed a new army with an artillery unit. I transferred you to be their instructor. I am satisfied with the teaching. If you want an official or money, you will be rewarded accordingly."

Gonza heard that it was his old job, and there was no difficulty, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty has an order, the last general will go up the mountain of swords, or go down into the sea of ​​fire."

I dare to say that this Westerner has been in the Ming army for a while, and he has also learned the idioms in the army.

Zhong Jinwei shook his head secretly, ignoring his sarcasm, and said to him: "I will meet with your colleagues in a while. Although their official positions are not as high as yours, except for military matters, they are still required to handle the rest of the soldiers' affairs." Management. This is the rule of the new army, understand?"

"The last will obey."

As soon as Gonsa's voice fell, the five Jinyiwei captains came to report with Sun Kewang.

Zhong Jinwei said to the unnamed Jinyiwei captain: "You priests have been able to read for a while, and each of you selects soldiers who are strong in acceptance and quick to learn things, and form an artillery team."

The five Jinyiwei school captains looked at each other for a while, and one of them asked as a representative: "Master Hou, how many soldiers do you want?"

Zhong Jinwei had thought about it beforehand, and said directly: "Ten people form a team, three teams form one banner, and three banners form one hundred. Among them, the hundred generals are assigned to another team as the artillery team. Then, the four hundred generals in charge will be combined into one hundred-man cannon. flag."

The people in the hall, including Gonza, gasped when they heard this. When did this cannon become so worthless? There are so many cannons for one master.

As for the establishment, they didn't surprise them, because the establishment mentioned by Hou Zhongxing was basically the establishment written in Qi Dashuai's military book.

That is, ten captains, 30 banners, 100 hundred, two hundred and five to 500 generals, 1000 thousand generals, and about 3000 lieutenants, generals, and guerrilla battalions.

Of course, the new army trained by Zhong Jinwei is still in the experiment. It is only 500 people, so it can only be generalized, and the higher-level organization will be discussed later.

After Cao Wenzhao was surprised on one side, he realized why Zhongxing Hou said he was not afraid of the cavalry charge.

This kind of army was created entirely with money, and it has exceeded the car camp configuration proposed by Mr. Sun Ge at the beginning.You must know that the car camp proposed by Mr. Sun Ge at the beginning could not be established in the end because there was not so much money.

However, Cao Wenzhao immediately thought that he had never heard of arrears of military pay in the past few days since he returned to the capital.Moreover, he has also heard about many things in the capital. It seems that with the efforts of Marquis Zhongxing, the imperial treasury has gained a lot of money.

But no matter what, according to the expenditure method of the new army like Marquis Zhongxing, the military expenditure will be huge, and the court may not be able to afford it!Cao Wenzhao thought silently.

"Master Hou, I'm afraid there are not so many people!" The five Jinyiwei captains looked at each other, and in the end it was the captain just now who replied Zhong Jinwei.

"Why?" Zhong Jinwei asked a little strangely.

"Master Hou, those soldiers listened with great interest to the stories told by their five subordinates, but most of them scratched their heads when teaching them to read and write, teaching them to remember only one out of ten." The captain replied with a bit of a bitter face.

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he fell silent. When he was in later generations, he seemed to have heard people say that the soldiers in the old-fashioned army could not distinguish between left and right. It seems that it is really not a rumor.

Fortunately, my sources of soldiers are all veterans, so this situation does not exist.But it is understandable that some people are stumped by letting them read and write now.

After a while, Zhong Jinwei replied to the five Jinyiwei school captains: "Pick out as many as there are, and I will transfer the remaining gaps from the Fifth Army Battalion."

"Your subordinates obey." The five Jinyiwei captains replied in unison.

Zhong Jinwei called Sun Kewang and Li Wenxiu to take Gonsa to the new camp.The captain of Jin Yiwei left on his own and transferred his soldiers.

Seeing this situation, Cao Wenzhao took the opportunity to propose to go to the new barracks to have a look.Naturally, Zhong Jinwei would not refuse, so he ordered Sun Kewang to be Cao Wenzhao's guide.

After his guards were left in the lobby, Zhong Jinwei leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.I thought in my heart to promote teaching in the current military, so that they can read and write, I am afraid it is wishful thinking.

For reading and literacy, it is better to start with a baby.But no matter what, it is one to be able to teach one.

Zhong Jinwei's closed eyes did not last long, and was interrupted by the intruding eunuch, who came to tell him to see him by order.

What a toil!Zhong Jinwei laughed at himself and rushed to the Forbidden City.

Judging from the time, it should be that the vassal king's clan is almost gathered together, Zhong Jinwei thought that this might be the case.

So, while he was on his way, he thought about all aspects of feudal overseas feudalism of the vassal king's clan, thinking that Emperor Chongzhen would ask him to let him attend the clan meeting, and explain and persuade him when necessary.

When he got to the Forbidden City and saw Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren in the Wenhua Palace, he realized that he was wrong, not this matter.
