"Oh?" Guan Zhuofan smiled, "How can you see it?" ”

Tian Yongmin's eyes burned: "Today's Taixi powerhouses, the two armies are facing each other, and they are still lined up in a long snake horizontal formation, called 'line infantry', shooting at each other, until death!" I think this is a ...... Ignorant of the general trend, ignorant of flexibility, and complacent! Compared with the breech gun, the rate of fire of the breech gun is greatly accelerated, and the range and accuracy are not inferior. Within the effective range of breech guns, the 'line infantry' is nothing more than a flesh target! ”

"As for some people who are in the dark, they still think that breech guns are better than breech guns, which is really stupid! This kind of person, sooner or later...... It hurts the head and bleeds, and even the bones and tendons are broken! ”

The more Tian Yongmin said, the more excited he became: "The whole army of the Xuan Army, abolishing the 'line infantry', practicing 'straggler tactics', humbly thinking that this is the whole world is drunk and I am sober!" If there is a war today, that is, with the strength of Britain and France, if we use the 'line infantry' to our 'skirmishment tactics', we will also ...... Go north! ”

When he said these words, Tian Yongmin's eyes lit up, and the hesitation and panic on his face had been swept away.

Looking at this little man who "entered the state", Guan Zhuofan sighed secretly in his heart.

Since the crossing, in front of Guan Zhuofan, Tian Yongmin has been the first to comprehensively deny the "line infantry" and advocate the "straggler tactics" without reservation.

I know that breech-loading guns will replace breech-loading guns, and I know that "skirmisher tactics" are superior to "line infantry", these 68 are all taking advantage of the traverser, but Tian Yongmin is not a traverser, right? His insight and judgment are entirely based on his own keen insight.

In fact, in the era of Tamanagatoshi's "Masajiro Omura". Based on the "Odd Soldiers" and other "teams", the Choshu Domain Army was comprehensively restructured by his own hands. The primitive skirmish tactics have been adopted. In front of this new type of army. The decrepit shogunate and the princes who were close to the shogunate collapsed at the first touch.

In addition to his incisive views on the "art of technical warfare," Tian Yongmin's understanding of the relationship between officers and soldiers and the cultural level of the Xuan Army is also to the point -- these three points are indeed the greatest advantages of the Xuan Army, the place where the Xuan Army is most ahead of the times, and the place where Guan Zhuofan is most devoted to the Xuan Army.

Ta Naga Toshi - Masajiro Omura. Indeed, one of the greatest military geniuses of our time.

Tian Yongmin also said: "Our army's 'three-three system' is particularly exquisite!" In the past, I thought that when attacking, the soldiers would just disperse, but I didn't think that they could cooperate with each other like this! ”

Speaking of which, I suddenly realized that I had been talking at length all along, and I was simply talking. In the meantime, King Xuanjun only said "Oh." How so? ”

couldn't help but feel slightly confused, and said: "I have a shallow view of my humble position, and I don't know if I am Chinese or not?" Uh, please ...... Teachings. ”

Guan Zhuofan didn't answer, he poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip of it, put down the wine glass, exhaled softly, and then said: "I am very clear for Mr.'s words!" ”

Tian Yongmin's eyes, Huo's jump.

Guan Zhuofan said slowly: "Since there are these differences between the army and the navy, then there should be a difference between the army school and the naval academy. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Zhuofan stopped and looked at Tian Yongmin with a smile.

King Xuanjun's thoughts, Tian Yongmin already fully understood, he said: "What the prince said is that to run an army school, foreign teachers and foreign books must be invited, but it must be based on me!" You can't drum up, and you can't go back! ”

"Good!"

Guan Zhuofan gently tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand and said: "'Take me as the main' - these are the four words!" It should be for these four words, and then float a big white! ”

After a pause, he said: "I'll send Mr. eight more words, 'Go to the turnips and keep the essence, and bring forth the new'!" ”

Removing the chaff and reserving the new, bringing forth the new, with me as the mainstay.

Tian Yongmin read it silently in his heart, nodded and said, "Yes, Yongmin remembers it in his heart." ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "However, these twelve words can only be put on the infantry, and for others - such as artillery, we still have to be honest students." ”

Tian Yongmin said: "Yes, I understand. ”

After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Speaking of artillery, Jiaxing already has an artillery school, this, I don't know if the prince has any special plans?" ”

Guan Zhuofan pondered for a moment and said, "It's irrelevant, everyone does their own thing." Napoleon I said that artillery is the god of war; I thought that within 50 years, artillery would be the first weapon of war. Our cannons are far from enough, and there are even fewer good gunners; Moreover, new artillery and new artillery skills will inevitably emerge one after another in the future -- an artillery department and an artillery school, taken together, may not be able to meet the needs. ”

"Yes!"

Guan Zhuofan frowned slightly, and said, "There is a point, you have to prepare in advance." ”

"The artillery school was taught in Prussia - and the artillery was also Prussian; But our artillery divisions, from division commanders to artillery, are all American. American artillery, learned from France, is somewhat different from that of Prussia. There's a question of mutual integration. That's it, the real question is-"

He paused and said: "I thought that at the time of Napoleon I, the French artillery was invincible in the world, but now - the French are a little old!" Prussia has caught up and seen the heads of the French! In particular, the Prussian 'Krupp gun', made of stainless steel, breech loading, French guns, British guns, can't compare, let alone American guns! I have already decided that the artillery division of the Xuan Army will be equipped with 'Krupp guns'! ”

Anderson agrees with this. Well, the first order for fifty doors has already been placed! ”

Tian Yongmin smacked his tongue secretly: All the staff change their clothes? What a big deal!

And I thought: what kind of "Krupp cannon" in Prussia, is it really so good?

However, he did not say this question.

Artillery is Tian Yongmin's shortcoming, and his understanding is quite limited. When he presided over the military administration of the Choshu Domain, he did not have a decent cannon in his hand. Otherwise, with the ability of Masajiro Omura, against the Xuan army, he may not lose so badly - he will not be able to climb up after a complete defeat.

Besides, he now admires this young prince very much, although the "Krupp Cannon" is not famous, but King Xuanjun must have his reason for saying so.

He thought for a moment and said: "In this case, should the artillery department of the army school also follow the example of the artillery school, and ask the Prussian to teach and practice the Prussian law?" ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "Exactly!" Not only should the artillery department of the army school practice the 'popular' law, but the artillery division should also change from 'American' to 'universal'! As soon as the new artillery arrived, it began to be transferred, and as many new artillery pieces were transferred as many 'general' -- this year, the first batch of graduates of the artillery school entered service, which was just right! By the time all the cannons have been replaced with 'Krupp guns', this 'beauty' will be turned into 'popular', and it will be about the same as ten. By that time, the first batch of artillery students of the Army School should almost graduate, and the 'seamless connection' is just right! ”

"Seamless"? Another fresh statement.

Tian Yongmin thought about it, understood the meaning of these four words, conspired for a moment, and said, "It's really appropriate." ”

He suddenly thought of a question and said, "That...... What should we do with the cannons that we replaced? Two hundred, dozens of doors! ”

Guan Zhuofan laughed and said, "Sir, are you afraid that they will not be wasted?" Sell! Not everyone knows the benefits of Prussia's 'Krupp guns', how many people still regard this old cannon as a treasure! Hehe, don't worry about not being able to sell for a good price! ”

Tian Yongmin sneered: Why can't you think about this?

Suddenly woke up: the reason why I can't think of this is because I am the person who "doesn't know the benefits of Prussia's 'Krupp cannon'" in the mouth of King Xuanjun, so he will regard the old cannon as a "treasure", and he will cherish the broom, so naturally he will not have the idea of selling it.

He couldn't help but sweat slightly: the so-called school, the study of knowledge, whether it is art or Taoism, should be a place where new things sprout and gather, and since he has received the important task of establishing a military school, this brain cannot rest on his laurels! Otherwise, one step is wrong, one step is wrong!

He said solemnly: "Yongmin is ashamed! The prince is in front of him, Yongmin is trying his best to follow, and he doesn't dare to fall behind! ”

Guan Zhuofan's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised in his heart: Okay, it's really a little clear!
