Minister of League Training? Guan Tianpei was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but say: "There is an official position of the Minister of League Training in the locality?" ”

Now is not the time when the minister of regimental training in the Xianfeng period is all over the place, it is not easy to want the title of the minister of regimental training, easy to know that this is to give Guan Tianpei a blow first, after all, it is more logical for Guan Tianpei to come forward than he himself to go into battle shirtless, however, this is not to be said in detail without a few words, the surrender ceremony is being held at the moment, and his two chief officials are naturally not always talking to each other, muttering, he immediately said softly: "Let's talk about it when we enter the city." ”

After collecting all the weapons of the British army, and simply comforting the officers of the British army, the sailors and Tuanyong escorted the British prisoners of war into the city and imprisoned them in the original barracks of the British army.

The entire Dinghai county has been completely taken over by the Yuanqi regiment, although it is an empty city, but from the south gate to the county office, along the way, the Yuanqi regiment is brave with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, a scene of slaughter.

Guan Tianpei and Yi Zhifen entered the city gate side by side, Yi Zhifen was not arrogant, a little behind half a step, the proper etiquette and rules should still be paid attention to, although Yuan Qi can now say that his wings are a little hard, but Yi Zhifen is unwilling to stiffen the relationship with the civil and military officials in Guangzhou.

After entering the city, he saw the energetic, upright regimental warriors standing like two ink lines, Guan Tianpei couldn't help but sigh secretly, in just half a year, it is really not easy to train the Yuanqi regiment to this extent, and he also felt for the first time that the military appearance of the Yuanqi regimental warrior was better than that of the green battalion soldiers.

Yan Yangtian followed behind Yi Zhizhi step by step, and said softly: "Headmaster, the British army surrendered today and successfully recovered Dinghai, will you be rewarded at night?" ”

"Dinghai is an empty city, and the British army is short of fresh meat and vegetables, how to treat it?" Yi Zhizu groaned: "Tell the following, go back to Guangzhou, and treat them well." ”

"Yes." Yan Yangtian hurriedly responded.

With a slight groan, Yi Zhizhi then ordered: "Internal and external vigilance, as always, must not be slackened, in addition, from the squad to the regiment, all levels must do a good job of post-war discussions and summaries, as well as comments on war exploits, and make records, I will check." ”

"Yes."

Guan Tianpei listened to it freshly, and couldn't help but say: "Post-war discussion and summary? What can those creeps discuss and summarize? ”

"Yuanqi regiment training start-up, without any experience, every battle is a valuable experience." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "The little soldiers are on the front line, their feelings and thoughts are the most important, how can you not pay attention to them. ”

Having said that, in fact, Yi Zhi's intention to formulate this rule is far more than that, Yuanqi group training is not only discussed after the war, Pingrangli training, but also regular discussion, and the discussion records at all levels are to be signed, that is, the discussion of each class, every soldier must participate, every soldier who speaks must register his name, even if he does not speak, he must sign the record, one proves that he participated in the discussion, and the other is to prove the authenticity of the record.

Doing so will not only help officers at all levels discover and promote talents, but also let all regimental warriors know that they are highly valued, and this will help them bring into play their subjective enthusiasm, integrate them into the Yuanqi regimental training, and strengthen the cohesion of the Yuanqi regimental training.

Of course, these things, Yi Zhixiang didn't have the heart to explain them to Guan Tianpei, no matter how good the system and rules are, in the hands of the green camp, they can only be mere formalities, and the green camp has rotted from the roots.

Entering the county office, Guan Tianpei asked someone to buy a table of wine and food, and then asked people to invite Yi Zhicontent, not long after, with a bare head and a long shirt, Yi Zhizhi came slowly with a folding fan, and saw a table of sumptuous dishes, he smiled: "Where did you get the ingredients from the military gate?" ”

"Sit." Guan Tianpei said that he sat down at the table casually, and personally poured a glass of wine for the two of them, and then said: "The people below bought it nearby, Yingyi can't buy it, and our court officers and soldiers can't buy it?" ”

God knows if you bought it or robbed it? Easy to be content and not broken, so as not to be disappointed, starting from Guangzhou, basically never had a good meal, he was not polite, raised a glass and saluted, dried it in one bite, and then feasted.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Guan Tianpei put down his chopsticks and said: "There is a Yuanqi group practicing in Guangzhou, and the old man doesn't need to worry anymore." ”

Yi Zhixiang rinsed his mouth with tea, and then said: "I'm afraid that the British army may not let the military sit back and relax." ”

"What, contentment has no faith?"

"No faith." Yi Zhizu nodded and said: "If the British army increases its troops to attack Guangzhou, the men and horses of Yuanqi Tuanlian and Shui Shi will not be able to resist at all." After a pause, he continued: "England is the number one power in Europe, the most militarily powerful country in the world today, and the trade between the East and the West is impossible for England to give up.

Whether it is from the perspective of maintaining the country's face or from the consideration of actual interests, after suffering such a big loss, the British army will not give up and will definitely increase its troops on a large scale, and the focus of the attack will not be the Beijing Division, but Guangzhou, from now on, we must prepare well and prepare to fight one or even several tough battles. ”

Sending troops to recover Dinghai, the British army is very likely to increase its troops on a large scale, this is easy to be content and have long been analyzed, Guan Tianpei is not surprised by this, he knows that Lin Zexu originally planned to send troops to Dinghai to attract the main force of the British army back to Guangzhou, he said lightly, "The British army wants to fight, can we still beg him not to fight, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, we will accompany to the end." ”

"That's what the military gate said." Yi Zhisuff said with a smile: "We are willing to accompany to the end, but I don't know if the court will have the determination to accompany to the end." ”

Guan Tianpei smiled when he heard this, "If Yuan Qi is the main battle, the imperial court will definitely be happy." ”

"The court can't ask the horses to run fast again, and they don't want the horses to eat grass."

This is really hard to say, Yuan Qi's group training is too eye-catching, and the imperial court may not be at ease, Guan Tianpei naturally won't say it clearly, he groaned, and he changed the topic and said: "Contentment said earlier that he wanted the imperial court to grant the minister of group training, and there seems to be no precedent for setting up a minister of group training in the local area. ”

"There's always a first time for everything, doesn't it?" Yi Zhizhi said: "Having the identity of the minister of group training is equivalent to indirectly incorporating Yuanqi group training into the name of the imperial court, and if Yuanqi group training is given a name, let's help the court resist foreign insults, and don't want a penny of food from the court, isn't this title a total of one?" ”

Guan Tianpei said suspiciously: "It's that simple? ”

"How complicated could it be?" Yi Zhifen said with a smile: "The military gate doesn't want to see the Yuanqi regiment disbanded, right?" ”

"Contentment, this is to let Yuan Qi Tuanlian be included in the imperial court as a new army?"

"Isn't this a good thing for the imperial court?" Yi Zhishu looked at him and said, "The military gate will never think that Yuanqi Tuan Lian is not qualified for this, right?" ”

"How so." Guan Tianpei shook his head and said with a smile: "Today's battle, it can be regarded as a thorough understanding of the combat power of the Yuanqi regimental training, what is comparable to the Eight Banners Green Battalion, it is simply far above the Eight Banners Green Battalion, the sailor is not easy to say, land warfare, Yuanqi regimental training is enough to be one as ten." ”

After a pause, he muttered: "However, contentment has a bottom in his heart, if the imperial court incorporates Yuanqi group training into the division of the economic system, I am afraid that it will be hindered in many ways, and even directly deprive contentment of the control of Yuanqi group training." ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly and said, "If the imperial court is willing to pay the military salary, I don't mind handing over the Yuanqi group training." ”

Hearing this, Guan Tianpei said: "How much does Yuanqi Group spend for a year? No matter how poor the court is, it will not be unable to come up with this bit of silver. ”

Yi Zhizu refilled a cup of tea for him, and poured most of the cup himself, and then said: "Yuanqi group practice is like a hot potato, the court is willing to take over, fortunately in Xiale, I am afraid that the court is not willing to pay this silver, to say that the cost of Yuanqi group practice is not large, two million yuan a year can barely support it." ”

"Two million a year?" Guan Tianpei's eyes glared at the boss, "Don't deceive the old man if you are content." ”

"It's really not a scare to the army." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the musket, Citigroup's new musket, one is a hundred yuan, because it is a rifled gun, the rifling is worn out, and if you shoot two hundred times, the rifling will be completely worn, that is to say, even if you don't fight, it is basically replaced once a year to two years, and if it is a war, it will be changed more often." In addition, there is artillery, and the military gate is also a family, so it should be clear how high the cost of ammunition for a year of live-fire training is. ”

As he spoke, he sighed lightly and said, "Two million a year, it's really barely enough to support." ”

Two million a year, this is nothing to the imperial court, but if the imperial court wants to take two million a year and only raise an army of 10,000 people, this is probably impossible, Guan Tianpei is like a mirror in his heart, the imperial court cannot do things without scruples like Yuan Qi, it is very likely that it is easy to be content, let Yuan Qi continue to support Yuan Qi's group training.

After taking a sip of tea, Yi Zhizhi said: "The topic is far away, no matter what the Yuanqi group practice, you have to finish the battle with England first, this battle will not be finished in two or three years, and the outcome of the Yuanqi group practice will ultimately depend on the battle record." ”

This is the truth, if Yuan Qi Tuan Lian really wants to be invincible, he is Yingyi's nemesis, even if it is a big price, the imperial court will not hesitate to find ways to preserve, otherwise, it is difficult to say, Guan Tianpei groaned slightly, and then said: "This battle, two or three years can't be finished?" ”

Yi Zhixiang smiled and said: "The Guangdong Navy Division sharpened its sword in the first battle, and then fought in Dinghai, captured more than ten large and small warships of the British army in one fell swoop, and captured three or four thousand British soldiers, the imperial court's attitude towards Yingyi will inevitably change. ”

He didn't say this nonsense, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been a foreign land reparation, as long as it can maintain an undefeated situation, Daoguang will never compromise with England, the land reparation will not only damage the prestige of the imperial court, but also lose the hearts of the people, especially the heart of the scholars, that will shake the rule of the Manchus, Daoguang is not a faint monarch, will not see this.

As long as the Qing Dynasty does not compromise, the British army will inevitably be unwilling to return in vain, especially the trade with the Qing Dynasty, England can not give up, this war is bound to be a stop-and-stop, talk, inappropriate negotiation, and then fight the situation, if he has the opportunity to participate in the negotiations, he must also try to delay the war as much as possible, to buy enough time for Yuanqi to develop.

Yuanqi regiment trained troops to Dinghai, he was not for Lin Zexu, nor for Wu Bingjian, but to give Yuanqi time and opportunity for development, as long as the war is not over, it is impossible for the imperial court to cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, even if the Yuanqi regiment training is jealous, the imperial court will wait until the end of the war.

Originally crow. The war lasted for two years, and with him stirring up in it, delaying it for a year or two more, it shouldn't be a big problem, and in the past few years, it is enough for Yuan Qi to grow in the cracks, which is actually the same as raising bandits.

When the victory of Dinghai spread to Jiangsu and Zhejiang at the speed of the wind, the Beijing division thousands of miles away was also jubilant, Lin Zexu sharpened the red flag of the victory of the foreign victory to arrive in the Beijing division, which caused a great shock in the Beijing division, since the British fleet suddenly appeared in Tianjin, the news of the fall of Dinghai spread in one day, the atmosphere of the Beijing division became more and more tense day by day, all kinds of rumors continued, the British ships were strong and the guns were strong, and the saying that they were invincible was also spreading, and the voice of the master was rising day by day.

Now the Guangdong Navy sharpened its knives and fought a battle, encircled and annihilated the Yingyi Yuehai Fleet, and captured thousands of Yingyi, and the wind direction of the Beijing division changed.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, Xinuan Pavilion.

Daoguang swept away the decadence of the past few days, the spirit of the desk book, sharpening the knife and the great victory is nothing less than a timely rain, he is writing an edict to Qi Shan in Tianjin, the edict is written behind Lin Zexu Baojie's excerpt, with Qi Shanxu and the snake, delaying time, and at the same time its strict defense, in case Yingyi suddenly attacked, attack Tianjin.

Putting down the pen, he retreated from the eunuch in the room, and stretched his hands and feet in a comfortable mood, Lin Zexu's good news was very solid, the name of the captured Yingyi warship, the artillery position, the number of captured Yingyi, and the name of the highest leader were extremely detailed, which was very different from the previous good news.

Lin Zexu's previous successes were all vague, either Yingyi fell into the water, or he got Yingyi's hat, in short, there was no way to check, but this time it was different, the captured warships, the captured Yingyi, this is not mixed with any water, the imperial court will send a messenger to check, obviously, this time it is not adulterated, it is a real victory.

In addition to reporting the victory, Lin Zexu also mentioned in the excerpt that he had sent the Guangdong Navy Division to Dinghai, wanting to recover Dinghai in one fell swoop and combat the arrogance of Yingyi, Daoguang Qishan delayed time, hoping to win enough time for the Guangdong Navy to recover Dinghai, if the Guangdong Navy Division recovered Dinghai in one fell swoop, see what capital Yingyi still has to negotiate with the Qing Dynasty! Of course, Yingyi was also annoyed and ashamed, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry to attack Tianjin. (To be continued.) )
