The court thought Li Hongzhang had a lot of military equipment. In fact, embezzlement of military expenditure was deceived from top to bottom, and it had a long tradition. Therefore, the Qing army's insufficient ammunition was really not completely blamed on Cixi. Cixi thought that the soldiers under her were full of food!

Cixi thought there was a 100,000 army, but in fact it was only 50,000. Cixi thought there was a 50,000 army, and it was likely that there was less than 25,000 army. This made it easy to understand many ridiculous things. Please read the book WｗＷｗＷＷ．

The cute CEO was too lazy to explain to Xuan Zonglu, so he comforted him with a few words of kindness, then said goodbye to Xuan Zonglu and immediately drove to Benxi.

The war between President Meng can be regarded as the first real war of combining infantry and artillery in Chinese history. Although it was the first time, there was the chief teacher of the 6th Army of Albert Kirschbach who participated in the Franco-Prussian War and the Chief of Staff of the US Chief of Staff of Rob Chris who participated in the Civil War.

Although the three hundred Krupp howitzers in the Artillery Brigade did not reach the power of modern warfare, they were definitely at the dominant level in this era. In addition, they had time to build artillery positions and infantry positions, as well as grenades, the cute president was confident in defending Benxi city.

The setting of artillery positions depends on the situation. Not everyone likes to place them on high ground. The main purpose of the high ground is not to stand high and shoot far.

Generally, the high ground is less than a few hundred meters high, and the range of the extra hundreds of meters is nothing for a cannon of more than ten kilometers. Please read the book Wｗ∮ﷷΩ.

It is easy for infantry to climb a mountain, but it is very difficult to drag a few tons of cannons up the mountain, except for light artillery such as mortars and mountain cannons.

Other howitzers and cannons are generally not troublesome to send to the mountain.

The advantage of going up the mountain is that it can improve the shooting range, but this factor rarely works.

Most of the time, going up the mountain is to use the back slope of the mountain to arrange artillery positions to prevent enemy artillery attacks.

When your position is on the back of the mountain, enemy rocket launchers and cannons with low ballistic ballistics will be difficult to hit the back of the mountain.

In fact, during combat, large artillery can't go up the mountain, and positions are all arranged at the foot of the mountain.

Chief of Staff of RobChris and Big Albert Kirschbach helped the cute president choose the artillery position, and Chief of Staff of RobChris personally guided the artillery.

Strictly speaking, there is no artillery soldier of the cute president, but he only supports the 300 artillery pieces and has more than 60 foreign instructors.

Moreover, many of these more than 60 foreign instructors were ordinary soldiers, but they all became instructors when they came to Danzhou. In this era, excellent artillery commanders are very scarce. Please read the book Wｗ∮Ｗ∮.

President Meng stayed in the artillery position for two more days, systematically listening to many of the two people's opinions, and he was constantly learning. President Meng originally wanted to go to Germany to study for a while, but later changed this idea and felt that it was unnecessary. He bought more talents by himself and studied at home the same time.

Moreover, many talents cannot be bought and must be cultivated by themselves. In the process of training, aren’t they also making progress?

The Second Regiment is mainly responsible for supporting tasks, and the First Regiment is the cute president's guards, and will be tested more.

Benxi's defense mission also mainly fell on the first regiment.

While actively preparing fortifications, the troops also need to train intensively, which is also strange enough. An army consists of hot weapons recruits.

Although the training method of the Huai Army was outdated and was not suitable for the requirements of hot weapons combat, the combat effectiveness of the Huai Army was indeed very strong. After fighting the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and fighting the Nian Army, it has basically never stopped in the past ten years. They are all veterans who are good at fighting. The cute president repeatedly warned the people below to pay attention.

The explosion radius of the grenade is about 25 meters, so the troops require it to be more than 30 meters, otherwise they will have to blow themselves to death.

The bomb drop training and stair training have never stopped. The German training is huge and pays attention to details. It starts with soldiers sitting, standing, and walking. It steps 106-112 steps per minute, 110-116 steps per minute, and runs 17-18 steps per minute. There are also requirements for strides, which can be accurate to centimeters. Anyway, it is the so-called science. (Hehe.)

During the recruit period, the main adjustment of training items include individual queue movements, including three major steps training, class, company queue training, salute and other subjects, including individual tactical movements, including lying down, crawling forward (low position, side low position, high position, side high position), jumping forward, rolling forward and other physical training includes five kilometers, 100 meters or 50 meters sprint running, equipment practice (single and parallel bars), push-ups, sit-ups, and belly-end physical training includes one to three sets of military fist, shovel technique, stick technique, dagger exercise, bare-hand exercise, etc. These subjects are also trained according to the different troops. However, this recruit is also in the division.

Some practice and some do not practice. They gather urgently and organize housework, which is basically nothing. The recruit stage mainly brings you a soldier habit. Usually, they mainly fold quilts (tofu blocks) to organize housework, learn rules, and political education.

First practice team training, organize internal affairs, and then some military technical training. After 3 months, the troops begin to assess and select personnel, and then enter the regular business. Infantry practices assassination, shooting, bomb dropping, blasting, and earthwork operations.

Benxi has almost become a large training ground.

Zhao Qingluo also dispatched a propaganda team to help promote, mainly to promote the mountain people along the way, as well as the residents of the towns in Benxi and Caohekou, so that everyone gradually relaxed their vigilance against this army wearing all dresses.

The propaganda work should have been solved by the army itself, but the cute president has a small number of troops, coupled with heavy training tasks, and digging trenches.

Benxi was preparing in a intensive manner, but the entire Qing Dynasty court was in a panic state, and was under intense discussions from top to bottom.

Li Hongzhang was urgently transferred to the capital to participate in the discussions of the Military Affairs Office.

Li Hongzhang himself also serves as the Minister of Military Affairs.

Li Hongzao and Li Hongzhang have a hard time. These two brothers whose names are only one word apart are not related at all. Moreover, because of their political disagreement, they are still against each other and have no personal relationship at all. Now, for the sake of Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Yuemeng, they have become brothers and brothers.

Because Xuan Yuemeng was originally sponsored by Li Hongzhang, she later became Li Hongzao's disciple and lived in the Forbidden City for half a year. She can also be regarded as the adopted son of the two empress dowagers. Emperor Tongzhi also gave him the origin of a juren.

Now it seems that it has become a huge joke. This time, it not only slapped the two empress dowagers and the emperor in the face, but also slapped the two grand slaughters in the face.
