Everyone saw that He Yingguan's eyes were full of excited tears, but they were embarrassed to squeeze him. Such an honest man who desperately moves forward in battle and does not fight or grab awards when evaluating merits, who is embarrassed to ridicule him at this time? However, many people stepped forward and whispered hello to him.

"Lao He, the lord has handed over this important task to you, you must be good at managing your life, don't break the lord's love for you, and also lose our water master."

As the Admiral of the Water Division, Zheng Zhilong naturally wanted to encourage He Yingguan a few words, although he couldn't remember the name of this guy surnamed He at this time.

"It is related to hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the whole army, and it is even more related to the great cause of the lord, you must not be sloppy!"

Shi Lang, as Lao He's direct commander, naturally spoke in a different tone. However, he was sure that this idea of He Yingguan really came from more than a dozen battles with Liao thieves.

At that time, one of the field tactics of the Liao thieves was to send a small number of men and horses to harass them with firearms or bows and arrows to lure the Ming army to fire first, and wait until the Ming army's firearms fired a round of fire, and then the Qing demon brigade charged or fired, and generally played like this, the Ming army was bound to collapse.

For this tactic of the Liao thief, the Ming army also felt pain to the bone marrow and hated it. It is reflected in the notes and letters of various Ming people. "In the early years of Dongnu, I also used firearms, often luring me with false guns, and after our real guns, the thieves and slaves took the opportunity to rush up. However, the soldiers and birds have already fired, and they are reloaded, and they are inevitably in a hurry. The slaves and thieves were attacked with large groups of iron horses, spears and halberds, and our army was often defeated. ”

Although the discipline and training level of the Nanyue army determined that they would not be lured by this trick of the Liao thieves and open fire casually, in the battle on the Liaodong Peninsula, the harassment of the Nanyue army by the stragglers of the Qing army of all sizes also made Shi Lang very annoying. It caused great trouble to the march of the brigade, and other adverse effects were not to mention for the time being, and the brigade stopped advancing. Hold a large number of personnel in the middle, and then find a way to get rid of those pesky guys before you can move on. In this way, the loss of time in the ice and snow is not only great, but also the consumption of morale and body.

As a battalion officer thinks, he can make a gun that can shoot continuously like a Franc machine. Even if it is only equipped in a small number of troops. In this case, if there is a similar surprise attack mission, which is used to deal with a small group of Liao thieves attacking and harassing the team, or encountering the Liao thief cavalry on the plains and wilderness, at this time, this kind of Franc machine gun (Shi Daguan couldn't think of how to name this new type of fire gun that was about to be developed and manufactured, so he had to call it Franc machine gun. Just in handy.

"In the future, even if there is only one sentry in each battalion in the land camp equipped with such a firearm, Lao Tzu will use them to deal with the harassment of the Liao thieves, anyway, there are not many people in one sentry, even if they fire indiscriminately, it will have no impact on the overall situation, and they are easy to load!"

Shi Lang's mind thought about the impact of weapon innovation on his troops for a while. and the possible tactical changes, in this short period of time, as the leader of the tea party, Li Shouhan's topic went to a deeper level again.

In this moment, Li Shouhan has introduced the topic to today's meeting.

"In the Battle of Tashan, the Guards Brigade has basically broken through the defensive front of the Liao thieves, why was Li Huamei's handsome banner hit by a stray bullet of the Liao thieves because of a very accidental incident? Could it be said. The military brigade of our Nanyue Army, like those officers and soldiers in the interior, can only complete the combat mission by relying on the commander and commander to charge forward with a small number of elite backbones?!"

Li Shouhan had a calm face. When Rin said this, the faces of the officers of the Guards Brigade instantly turned red as blood.

"My lord! Categorically not! ”

"Lord, we were just worried about the safety of the eldest lady at that time!"

The generals of the Guards Brigade, from the brigade commander Mo Yu down to the ordinary battalion officers, if it weren't for the fact that Li Shouhan was not presumptuous, I was afraid that they would have jumped up and debated with each other with their fists.

As a general who participated in the Battle of Tower Hill who was present at the time. Now that he is Li Huamei's husband again, Shi Lang has the obligation to come out and explain a few words to the generals of the Guards Brigade from any angle. Before Zheng Zhilong could give him a hint, Shi Lang had already gotten up and left his seat and knelt down in front of Li Shouhan.

"Father, if you want to blame the generals of the Guards Brigade. Erchen thinks that there is some unfairness! Inadvertently, Shi Lang trespassed again. You must know that Li Shouhan at this time is just a black prince. Although the imperial court issued a decree to canonize him as the Duke of the Kingdom, because he disliked the title of Ning Guogong was a bit taboo, Li Shouhan resigned. Now the new title has not yet come down. Moreover, even if he is a serious prince, as Shi Lang, he must not call himself a son!

Although there were many people in the courtyard, it was a little noisy, and the generals of the Guards Brigade who were excited and enthusiastic couldn't care about the loopholes in Shi Lang's words for a while, Zheng Zhilong heard it clearly, and Zheng Sen, who was under him, was even more happy when he heard this.

"On the day of the rout of Tashan, Erchen was also on the battlefield. The responsibility is not for the Guards Brigade and the Marine Division. On the contrary, when our army spread rumors about the Liao thief incident and shouted the rumors of the death of the county lord on the entire battlefield, we still struggled to reorganize the battalion and wave the division to attack. If it weren't for the fact that the various departments of the Liaodong official family that were part of our army's attack were panicked and collapsed first, I was afraid that Dolgon might not be able to get benefits. Qiu Minyang took the lead in gathering his own Fubiao battalion and led the entire battlefield to be chaotic, affecting the flanks of our army. If you don't withdraw, you will inevitably be surrounded and defeated by the rebel army and thieves. The county lord decided to retreat at this time, and there was no merit. The Guards Brigade and the various units of the Army Battalion of our Naval Division are also meritorious and without fault. ”

"At that time, the county lord had the right time, the Guards Brigade attacked violently and continuously, and the front collapsed under Hongluo Mountain, but Jiannu was not with him, and they quickly brought in reinforcements to stabilize the front, which avoided the immediate collapse. At that time, Uchiko judged that the enemy army was at the end of its strong crossbow, and only needed to take advantage of the gap to attack, and the enemy army would not be able to support it. So Uchiko ordered Shuai Qi to move forward, on the one hand, to facilitate close command, and on the other hand, to boost morale. The Guards Brigade was also greatly excited to see that Uchiko was in command, and the whole army rushed bravely with bayonets, according to the confession of the captured prisoner, there was no way for Jiannu at that time, and it turned out that Uchiko's judgment was completely correct. And the onslaught of the Guards Brigade also dealt a very fatal blow to it. ”

And after the county commander's flag was broken, the Guards Brigade did not lose its fighting spirit, but launched a more violent impact under the leadership of Lu Yunsheng. If it were not for the collapse of the Ming front, and we would have to protect our own security on the one hand, and cover the retreat of friendly forces on the other. Tens of thousands of Dolgon's horses will surely be surrounded by us by the sea. What awaits them will also be the fate of total annihilation. ”

Seeing that Shi Lang was methodically whitewashing himself, the officers of the Guards Brigade and the Marine Division Army Battalion didn't take the opportunity to express themselves at this time, so there was no need to mix!

"Lord, it's not that we are unfavorable in battle, but I really 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 200,000 stones, grain, grass and a large number of weapons and baggage, but as a result, our men were taken by Liao thieves as soon as they left their guards. What is even more unexpected is that these Liao thieves who escorted grain and grass to Tashan at the behesitation of Huang Taiji have become the last new force in the hands of Na Dolgon! ”

"My lord. If there is a mistake in the battle of Tashan, the county lord, it is that he does not have enough knowledge of the situation of the various armies in Liaodong, and he never thought that this generation would be so corrupt! I just thought that the officers and soldiers of Liaodong might collapse, and made preparations for the collapse of some battalions and even mutiny and surrender to the enemy before the battle, but I never thought that they would run back with tens of thousands of people shouting and brushing back! ”

"If you have to be held accountable for the defeat of the Battle of Liaodong, then ask your father for forgiveness first, I think the biggest responsibility is yours. This time, the king of Qinwang in the north will talk about the wave battle of the light enemy. The responsibility of the father is the first, because the first two victories of King Qin came easily. It is determined that this is also the case. But I forgot that this Liaodong war, for the Liao thieves, was not compared to entering the customs and looting, but gambling on the life and death battle of the national fortune! Affected by this situation, our Southern Yue Army went north to Qinwang's army and tens of thousands of horses from top to bottom. Everyone thinks that the thieves are just a disease of scabies, a group of clowns who jump off the beam! But I forgot that this group of Liao thieves has gone through several dynasties since the Wanli period, causing the Ming court to lose its teachers and land repeatedly. The consumption of tens of millions of salaries and losses of hundreds of thousands of officers and men. ”

"The fault of the father is that the father is just a person, a mortal person. If it is God, he has infinite energy, infinite wisdom, can think about everything, and will not miss anything. But the problem is that you are not, so as long as the father is still a person and still has to do everything, then mistakes are inevitable. ”

"Since Liaodong and General Wu returned to the division, Erchen has been struggling with why the battle was lost. On the way back from the south, there is time to calm down and think about it, in fact, my father is also a fan of the authorities. My father had actively promoted the combination of two services, one reform, and three in the past, and in fact, the military should also promote it in this way. ”

"My father has always said that those who are officials and commanders should not learn Zhuge Liang. That kind of hands-on approach is the most unacceptable. Even a person covered in iron, how many nails can he make? The key to the combination of two participations, one change and three changes for many years is to let more people participate in the work, work together, and gather the strength of everyone to do one thing. In this case, why should the father bow down to everything. The son is dull, but he has the courage to speak, and the father will mainly be in charge of decision-making in the future, and the details will be handed over to an exclusive division to be responsible. For example, if the battle of King Qinwang is fought again, the father only has to decide whether to fight or not, and after the decision is made, the department is immediately responsible for drawing up plans for how to ensure logistics, recruit soldiers, plan ships, mobilize people, etc. Once these plans have been drawn up, it is up to the Father to decide which plan to adopt. In this way, the father can be relieved of a lot of heavy work, and his subordinates can also be trained, and since they only have the right to make plans, not the right to command, they do not have to worry about the tail being too big. ”

Shi Lang's tirade made everyone present happy but also broke out in a cold sweat. Happily, Shi Lang's words praised the troops and horses of all departments, and analyzed the responsibility for the defeat of Tashan and the loss of tens of thousands of officials and troops in Liaodong, and cleared everyone's responsibility. However, Shi Lang's words are like a cannon, and the responsibility is directly thrown on Li Shouhan's head, even if you are the new aunt of the lord, the popular fried chicken, this kind of approach, do you Shi Lang think that you are too comfortable?

However, Shi Lang's general expression, many years later, was questioned by researchers that it was the pair of Weng sons-in-law who colluded in advance, at least there was a tacit understanding!

It was at this time that although Li Shouhan's face was sinking like water, his heart was ecstatic. "Good! This is a good son-in-law! ”

Shi Lang's expression is precisely to pave the way and mobilize for one thing Li Shouhan is about to do!

The progress in many directions of King Qinwang in the north this time was frustrated, far from the invincible scenery that he had when he went north to King Qinwang twice before, and this scene made Li Shouhan very painful to discover. I have changed the enemy and the Ming army has made great progress in combat effectiveness with the support and help of the Nanyue Army at all costs, but, in the same way, the Liao thieves have also trained the Eight Banners Han Army for a long time in advance, and at the same time. The Armor Gun Team, which had never appeared in history, also appeared, using a copycat version of the Nanzhong Fire Gun, using the tactics of Fuhu to open the mountain, to strike at the Nanyue Army and the Ming Army.

The continuous expansion of the scale of the war, the emergence of various new tactics one after another, and the intricate relations between the various armies and units of our friends and foes made Li Shouhan feel that the existing weapons and command system of the Nanyue Army were not sufficient to face the current form of war.

It is still a little difficult to deal with Abatai, who is traveling thousands of miles in Shandong, Zhili and other places, so if he encounters the army of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others who are more good at mobile warfare in the future. And how?

Therefore, Li Shouhan plans to upgrade and sort out the current military institutions such as the battalion office and the military division.

In his mind, the reform of the above-mentioned military structure of the Nanyue Army should be divided into operational command departments and military orders, military training, and military quartermaster ordnance departments.

His eyes were full of satisfied smiles, and he originally planned to coordinate this matter of military reform with the generals in the army, after all, this is a matter that touches the interests and habits of the army. If you don't do it well. It's just that it's not just combat power that's being lost. But now he didn't have to think about it.

Shi Lang's understanding was clearly to protect the generals in the army, and secretly accused Li Shouhan. In fact, he helped him to do a tirade of 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! In front of the lord, how can you be so arrogant!? Dumbfounded after listening to Shi Lang's words, it took a long time before Mo Yu reacted. You can't let Li Shouhan deal with Shi Lang first, in that case, Shi Lang is afraid that he will die ugly!

"Someone!" Mo Yuqiao roared loudly, "Take down this kid who is acting recklessly in front of the lord and escort him to the back hall." Wait for the Lord to leave! ”

Several pro-soldiers also understood what Lord Mo Yu meant, so they rushed to Shi Lang and shouted loudly, preparing to escort Shi Lang to the back hall, but the shouting voice was loud and the steps were small.

"You guys also slow down, wait for my father to finish his plan, and then see what this kid should do!" Li Shouhan couldn't stop sneering in his heart, since it's time for the show, let's see whose acting skills are good enough to hold the little golden man!

Someone handed Li Shouhan a stack of papers, but Li Shouhan didn't want to look at it, so he just handed it to Mo Yu, "Mo Er, you come to read it to everyone!" Let this kid see if his old Tarzan is old and confused! ”

Mo Yu took the document with some confusion, ""Minutes of Military System Reform"? "It turns out that the lord has already made a fortune in his chest, but he hasn't released it yet! If it weren't for the fact that Shi Lang jumped out to accuse the lord in order to clear everyone's guilt today, I'm afraid that the lord won't take out this article for a while!

All the generals present listened silently to Mo Yu's major event and read this article.

“…… There are headquarters offices under each town. The department has a member of the General Staff, Zanzo Order, a staff officer of the second class, two staff officers of the second class, who are assigned to the planning of various affairs with the General Staff Officer, a member of the assistant leader of the artillery team, and a member of the artillery corps to supervise the affairs of the artillery corps.

Opened a martial arts hall to train officers. Talented people from various armies were selected to serve as staff officers.

Mo Yu read it for half an hour before finishing it, only the corners of his mouth were full of foam, and everyone listened to it as if they were drunk. If this strategy of the lord is implemented, not only is it unlikely that it will form a feudal town or a mountain, but I am afraid that if the generals plan to turn against the water, they will be immediately tied up by their subordinates and sent to the military justice department.

"If you want to spend a penny in the future, you have to get the approval of the manager!" Some people are bitter in their hearts.

"My lord, I just heard what was said in this summary, if the towns and departments want to replenish soldiers and horses in the future, they must be approved by the military and political secretary before it can be feasible. Then, the subordinates don't know, where does this reserve soldier and horse belong to? Who is in charge? “

"The reserve soldiers and horses everywhere, like the military and political departments and other yamen, are directly under the direct command of the father! Commanded by this father! Do you understand?! (To be continued......)
