Chapter 55 Li Zicheng

Hearing Wan Jun suddenly calling him, Li Yongwang and Chang Hong stood up and said, "Here you are!"

Wan Jun said, "Your two regiments have not been trained by the Chinese Army. I am afraid that they are not strong enough to compete in future wars. I am going to let Gui Dongliang, the officer of the Military Education Corps, conduct training. What do you think?"

Li Yong was shocked, he was trying to seize military power. After all, these people from other counties could not trust him.

Wang Changhong said, "If you want to take these soldiers and horses, you can take them. I have no intention of doing so."

Li Yong was originally planning to make a false move, but after hearing Wang Changhong's words, he felt secretly resentful. He could only grit his teeth and said, "I have no objection, they are all your lord's soldiers and horses!"

Wan Jun saw Li Yong's hesitation, "Don't worry, you two, as the commanders of our Chinese Army, you will never be suspicious and excluded for no reason. I will send you to the military academy."

Wang Changhong said, "I will do whatever you say. The Chinese Army is good to the people, so I am willing to follow you. I, Mr. Wang, don't even know my own name. It's a good thing to learn some words."

Wan Jun smiled and said, "You can't wait until the military academy to learn writing. You have to start learning to read now."

Then he turned to Zhang Wuyang and said, "You can't do this well. You must not let go of the commander's cultural knowledge study. You will be responsible for Li Yong and Chang Hong's literary study."

Zhang Wuyang said, "Take the order."

Cui Ziyi secretly admired in his heart that Mr. Wan really handles political affairs with ease, but a matter of literacy not only defeated Zhang Wuyang, but also restrained the two generals Danfeng, which was really high.

Wan Jun never thought about these details, and continued to arrange, "Gui Dongliang will be responsible for organizing the training of two militia groups in Danfeng County. In addition, all the hungry and cold refugees in Danfeng County will be recruited without limit. How many regiments can be formed?"

Just form a few regiments and all receive training from the Chinese Army."

Then he arranged, "Wang Lihui and Nian Liming, take all the people you bring to Caichuan Town to investigate, and choose a place to build the 'China's Second Arsenal' as soon as possible."

Nian Liming was angry because he was robbed of the No. 1 brand. He brought people to Danfeng. After hearing the name of the second arsenal for many days, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He could only nod his head and talk to Wang Lihui.

Take orders together.

After everything was arranged, Wan Jun took Cui Ziyi and Zhang Wuyang out of the city to appease the people.

Danfeng is located in a valley between mountains. Most of the villages are in the nearby low mountains, and those further away are powerless.

Even so, corpses of people who died of cold and starvation can be seen on the side of the road from time to time.

Many people had frostbite, their skin and flesh cracked, and their bones exposed.

Wan Jun ordered people to give them the old clothes replaced by the Hua Xia Army, and they knelt in the snow and cried and thanked them, "Thank you so much, General Zhang. General Zhang is a good man."

Zhang Wuyang's face turned red after hearing this, and his attitude became even more humble, "I was sent by Master Wan, and the things I gave you all belong to Master Wan. If you want to thank me, thank Master Wan!"

The common people kowtowed to the army together, saying, "Ten thousand lords will raise their lords to ten thousand generations."

"Everyone has a long life"

"Ten thousand men have many wives and concubines, and many children and grandchildren."

The more Wan Jun listened, the more he realized what these people were talking about, so he left his men behind to continue dividing clothes, and led his troops towards Dihua Town.

Horses were riding in the flying snow, and Wan Jun looked at the depressing scenes everywhere and said, "The life of the people here is much more difficult than that in Lucheng County!"

Cui Ziyi said, "The people in Lucheng County have been favored by adults for a longer period of time, and naturally their lives will be much happier."

Wan Jun said, "I think it's time to print and distribute food stamps in Danfeng, and then bring the weaving company and several other big shops to Danfeng to open a branch, mobilize the people, and allow them to make a living."

.”

Cui Ziyi said, "I think we should

We should do this, especially food stamps, as soon as possible. In the future, when we occupy other places, we will also implement this set of measures, which can help us quickly stabilize the local people's hearts and spread our influence locally. As long as we have control of the local resources,

Once we have appeased the people, we will take down the roots, otherwise we will be just like Li Zicheng, who will always be a rootless root."

Wan Jun and Cui Ziyi discussed as they walked, and when they made up their minds, they asked Zhang Wuyang to send a messenger to Lucheng County to deliver a message to Zhao Boyuan.

When everyone arrived at Dihua Town and crossed the Songjin Bridge, Zhang Wuyang became more humble because of what happened just now. He pointed to the front and said, "Sir, this is our blocking position."

The position was lined up fifty meters behind the rocky valley. Wan Jun looked up and down and saw that Zhang Wuyang had built an earth wall in the narrowest place here. There were three wooden fences built in front of the earth wall. Wan Jun faced Zhang Wuyang.

He said, "Can your position stop the Shun army and the barbarians?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wuyang hurriedly said, "I saw that the military camp was like this in the past, so I copied it and asked for your advice."

Wan Jun took Cui Ziyi and Zhang Wuyang together to climb Daluoyu Valley to check, and then climbed to the four mountains in the north to see the situation everywhere. After asking about the situation, Wan Jun led everyone back to the camp, holding a piece of paper.

After writing and drawing in silence for a while, Wan Jun said, "It's done."

Then Wan Jun asked the generals to sit down, and combined with the military knowledge of later generations, he taught Zhang Wuyang and other generals how to build positions.

A large piece of paper was thrown in the middle. Wan Jun pointed at the lines and ink dots on the paper and said, "Wu Yang, if your position is connected with weapons and weapons, there is nothing wrong with it. But now we have to use firearms to attack the enemy. Then our muskets

How many soldiers can be placed in the narrowest place?"

Zhang Wuyang thought for a while, "There is not much space in a narrow place, but there are also few enemies to face head-on."

Wan Jun drew a few strokes on the paper with a pen, and Zhang Wuyang suddenly realized, "I understand, if we put a few hundred meters behind the narrowest place, the number of enemies who can pass through the narrowest place will be so many, but we can put down the musketeers

There will be more.”

Wan Jun said, "Wu Yang has a good understanding. This is the truth. The position should be placed behind the narrowest place. If the enemy passes through the narrow place, our firearms soldiers can concentrate more firepower to kill the enemy."

Then Wan Jun pointed to the two ink lines and said to the crowd, "Look, everyone, this is the four mountain ridges. The mountains extend forward into the valley. The northern position is based on the commanding heights. If the enemy occupies this place, they can clearly see it from a high position.

The movements of our troops and horses, and the details of the layout of various battlefields. If conditions permit, the enemy can transport a few cannons in the snow, and the firepower can cover one kilometer behind our position."

"Immediately send people to build a wooden fence along the ridgeline of the Four Mountains, prepare more rolling wood and gravel, cut down the grass and trees on the hillside facing the enemy, clear away large and small stones, and then pour water on it, so that the enemy cannot even move forward. In front of the wooden fence

An earth wall is built thirty meters in front to prevent enemy artillery bombardment. A battalion of musketeers is stationed here, and the firepower can cover most of the battlefield in front and behind the rock pit. "

"This is the mountain on the east side of Daluoyu Valley. An earthen wall and wooden fence are built along the steepest part of the mountainside. A battalion of musketeers can be stationed here, responsible for covering the left half of the position with fire. When the enemy attacks, they must withstand the front, right and

Firepower from three directions behind the left side."

"The main position should be set back three hundred meters. The position should be built into a thick earth wall to protect against enemy artillery fire. There should be staggered trenches dug at the narrowest point of the rocky depression to prevent enemy cavalry from attacking. The enemy cavalry should go around

To pass through the rocky depression, we can only go around the foot of Daluoyu Valley. The cavalry cannot increase their speed, so our army can fight calmly!"

Such a way of building a stronghold and formation made everyone stunned on the spot. Cui Ziyi asked curiously, "My lord, what is the use of so many low-height earthen walls?"

Wan Jun said, "Earth walls can protect against iron bullets from artillery. When the enemy's artillery bombards us, our troops will hide behind the wall."

You can be safe and sound."

Wang Changhong said, "Cannons can kill many people, but they are only used to attack the city!"

Wan Jun said, "The artillery is the courage of the three armies. In the future, the lethality of the artillery will be even greater. Unless the troops have very strict military discipline, morale will collapse soon under the bombardment of the artillery. The four guns we brought here this time

The cannons are placed in the formation and all are equipped with shotgun shells to prevent the enemy from using human sea tactics to fight to the death."

Li Yong said, "The weather is cold and the ground is frozen together. I'm afraid we won't be able to dig."

Wan Jun said, "I will give you two months, whether it is burning or digging, it must be completed."

Zhang Wuyang said thoughtfully, "If I have some understanding of what you have said, there are some parts that I don't quite understand. I would like to ask you to explain it in more detail."

Wan Jun smiled and said, "The method of fighting requires adaptability. Gui Dongliang is not here today, so I will use him as an example. Why did I let Dongliang be responsible for training the new army?"

"Military discipline is strict and must not change even a bit. Dongliang is a person who accepts death. As long as you tell him the standards to be followed, he can execute them accurately. But the law of war is alive, and the battlefield situation changes rapidly.

I cannot accept death, I must act in accordance with the times, and make sure that the right time and place are all to my advantage, so that I can win the battle!"

After hearing this, everyone felt enlightened, "If you move with the times, how do you know when the times are right?"

Wan Jun said, "If you can look at the military situation during a battle, follow the weather, and use the land to your advantage, you will be a famous general in the world. These experiences need to be accumulated continuously. In the future, if conditions permit, I will open an officer school. This is all I can do today."

Let’s talk about it roughly.”

Finally, Wan Jun added, "You have also seen that the world has changed. Many things are different now. The power of firearms is much greater than that of swords. No matter how brave a general is, he cannot stop a lead bullet. And

It is useless to tell you many things now. Remember to pay attention to firearms and change your thinking about combat."

After saying this, Wan Jun led his people back to Danfeng, and Li Yong and Wang Changhong began to build positions according to Wan Jun's arrangements.

Two days later, Wang Lihui and Nian Liming determined the location of a new arsenal. It was ten miles north of Danfeng County, at a mountain bay called Yuling. It was close to Caichuan in the north and entered through a mountain pass in the south. In case the enemy invaded Danfeng,

You can also hold the mountain pass and retreat northward into the mountains calmly.

Cui Ziyi proposed a work-for-relief method, calling on the people to participate in labor, so that they could have three meals a day.

Half a month later, the food stamps from Lucheng County arrived together with the textile and clothing company, and all the branches of various sizes sent manpower there. The whole Danfeng County suddenly became more lively.

There were many wastelands and uninhabited houses in the county. Wan Jun distributed them to various stores, and a large number of branches were opened, such as the Grain Supply and Marketing Branch, the Clothing Weaving Branch, the Jianglaosi Nitrate Making Branch, and the Liu Supply and Marketing Branch.

Since then, various shops have used food stamps as wages to support the livelihood of most people in the county.

In the blink of an eye, November came, and many places in the Qinling Mountains had a few feet of snow. Heavy snow began to block roads in the north, and news transmission came to a standstill.

At the end of November, Lucheng County transported more than a dozen carts of firearms and gunpowder to Danfeng. Two of the four regiments newly trained by Gui Dongliang were equipped with muskets.

As a result, among the 14 Danfeng regiments, there are five firearms regiments. Together with the rocket launchers brought in, it may not be impossible to fight against the Hu people in Danfeng County.

The time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the blocking position in Xiaoyi Town has been completed with difficulty.

The New Year will be in less than half a month. Wan Jun announced that in the three days of the New Year, the food supply will be doubled for everyone, and everyone will have a good New Year.

Where is my home in the Qinling Mountains where the clouds are crossing? The snow is holding the blue gate and the horses are unable to move forward.
