Chapter Fifty-Six: Change
However, Guo Ye now has no energy to take care of the strength of Shangbaoding Town, a firearms battalion is enough for him to be busy, if you want to train the firearms battalion into a truly world-class force, it is definitely not achieved overnight, without 100% effort, it is simply impossible! The military quality of the Qing army is too far from the world level, and the gap is in all directions, and it is not limited to just one place!
Guo Ye's mind had already flown to Tongzhou, and after bidding farewell to Emperor Xianfeng, Guo Ye jumped on his war horse and ran towards the firearms battalion in Tongxian, originally thinking that he would leave for half a month, but it turned out to be a month's time, which was really uneasy.
Fortunately, when Guo Ye rushed back to the firearms battalion, all the training was within Guo Ye's expectations, Chen Hai and the others did not relax at all, in a month's time, the appearance of the entire firearms battalion has undergone a lot of changes, all the firearms battalion soldiers are no longer as tired, lazy, and casual as when they first arrived, and they have at least shown high morale, and in the face of the enemy's foreign guns and artillery, they can at least stabilize their positions.
Guo Ye looked at Chen Hai and Gao Qi beside him, and said with a smile: "Okay, yes, you have worked hard during this time, you must have the appearance of training soldiers, you must endure hard work, sweat, and offend, so that you can gallop on the battlefield and be invincible!" ”
Gao Qi smiled: "Boss, you can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, Haizi will be in a hurry......
Guo Ye was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter, Xiaohai?" Something? ”
Chen Hai smiled embarrassedly and said: "Brother Ye, that's the case, I'm only a person in the capital, my home is near Beiyuan in Tong County, since I joined the army, it has been more than half a year, and I have never been back, a few days ago, a brother took the opportunity to buy armaments, went to my house to see it, and a letter will come later, saying that my father is not in good health and wants me to go back......
Guo Ye was slightly surprised, and said: "Good boy, I have never heard of it, you are actually a person from this neighborhood, haha, in the future, you will be a living guide, take some time in the future, take a few brothers, and give me all the boundaries within a hundred miles of this county, I want you to draw a fine military map, just like we taught you some time ago!" Well, as for the matter of going home, this is easy to do, our own brothers, regardless of each other, your parents are just like my parents, bring two brothers, you are now a good seven-grade general, it won't be long before Lao Tzu will mention you to the position of the general manager of Yingqian, and the brocade will not return to the hometown, just like the brocade night walk! Go, greet my uncle and aunt on my behalf, and I will visit you in person when I have the opportunity in the future! ”
Chen Hai was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Brother Ye!" No, it's the Commander! I'll go back and get ready, and I'll be sure to report back to you tomorrow afternoon before sunset! ”
Guo Ye hurriedly replied: "Also, it's not okay to go back like this, you kid, I know that you have good land at home, and your life is okay, but you must do your filial piety as a junior, give it to you, this is fifty taels of silver, bring it yourself, it is my congratulations to the two old people, go!" ”
Chen Hai is also not polite, anyway, his life is handed over to Brother Ye, take him a little silver, what else should you not do?
After packing up, Chen Hai took a brother from Xunnei, rode on a war horse, and galloped towards Tongzhou Beiyuan, from the garrison to Tongzhou Beiyuan, it was only a few tens of miles away, and it didn't take long to ride a fast horse to arrive, and he would return the next afternoon, and he could also take a night and a half a day at home.
Guo Ye saw that the sky was still dark, and there was still a period of time, so he could take this opportunity to pull the team out and see the real effect of the training for a month.
Guo Ye said to Gao Qi: "Gao Qi, go and pass on my military order, the brothers in the whole battalion will gather immediately, and at the time of a stick of incense, you must bring all the equipment, arrive at the martial arts arena, violate the military order, and serve the military law!" ”
Gao Qi shouted: "Yes, Lord Junmen!" ”
It didn't take long for all the 800 Ming and Qing troops to be pulled out, and when they heard that their generals were going to test the results of the training, they were naturally shocked, and they couldn't wait to show all their skills!
The current leader is no longer a leader, and in just one month, he has been promoted two levels in a row, from a leader to a military gate! If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that it won't take a few years to be able to ascend to the position of governor, that is, a very human minister, with such a general to fight, can you not come to the spirit, do a good job in the future, it is impossible to serve as a military gate as a succession, but it is still very possible to be a thousand generals, generals, or even guerrilla generals or something, and the top priority now is to please the military lords!
The whole team pulled out, the action was still very fast, a stick of incense, all the eight hundred Qing troops stood in line, one by one holding steel guns, full of energy!
Guo Ye looked at it and nodded secretly, but there was no relaxation among them, a Xun man was good-looking and easy to do, but it was not easy to be so energetic for the soldiers of the eight Xun now.
Gao Qi saw that the team had been assembled, and he was very satisfied, and stood in front of Guo Ye with several other leaders!
Gao Qi ran over and hit a thousand with one leg: "Lord Junmen, the first battalion of the firearms battalion is organized into eight hundred and fourteen people, and there should be eight hundred and fourteen people, but there are eight hundred and two people, one of them is sick, two are on leave, and nine people go out to purchase military supplies, please give instructions to Lord Junmen!" ”
Guo Ye nodded and said, "Okay, Gao Qi, get up, but there is such a strong spirit, immediately organize all the floods to shoot live ammunition, I want to see how your shooting practice is!" ”
Gao Qi immediately began to organize eight Xun troops for shooting training, although the marksmanship still needs to be improved, but it still has that appearance, no longer like when he first got the gun, he can't even use it!
Guo Ye was in a happy mood, and praised Gao Qi and several other backbones like flowers!
However, things in the firearms battalion are normal and go according to plan, but Chen Hai and others have changed.
Guo Ye waited until dusk the next afternoon, Chen Hai and the others had not returned to the team on time, Guo Ye's heart sank slightly, Chen Hai had a good temperament, he was very smart, he was the right-hand man he chose, he would definitely not be confused in such a matter as military discipline, at this time, there was no shadow, it wouldn't be something, right?
Gao Qi on the side saw through Guo Ye's thoughts, and said: "Lord Junmen, it's better to take a few people to look in the direction of Beiyuan, what trouble have the two of them encountered......?"
