Chapter 2901 Seek it from the top and get it from the middle
Taishi Ci's face turned red.
Not ashamed, but angry.
Taishi Ci immediately apologized to Fei Qian, and then angrily ran off the general platform. He jumped on his feet and asked people to catch the frightened horses. At the same time, he ordered his men to pin down those who let the horses escape accidentally.
Crack the whip before going into battle.
Not many, three lashes per person.
There is nothing wrong with war horses being beasts, but humans are not beasts, and the responsibility cannot be passed on to instinct.
War horses can be frightened and run away without thinking, but people cannot relax their vigilance on the battlefield and let their horses collide with the array and disrupt the formation.
The army is originally the most unreasonable place and can only deal with military law. Because when soldiers start their career, they face the most unreasonable world, life or death.
Animals cannot talk about laws, people must talk about laws. It is not about excuses, but about results.
Military law is also a kind of law.
Like the soldiers, Fei Qian also cannot give excuses for the matters he faces, only the results. If there is, there is, and if there is not, there is not. If there is, why is there, and how can it be better? If not,
Where is the mistake and how can it be corrected? It is not about giving various excuses and everything will be fine and easy.
This is true in the Western Regions, and so is artillery.
The craftsmen came forward to check the condition of the artillery, measure the temperature and deformation of the artillery body, observe the gunpowder residue in the artillery, and the cleaning situation...
Yes, today's artillery must be cleaned.
After firing five times in a row, the soldiers would stick a cloth stick soaked with water into the artillery, and then wipe out as much of the gunpowder residue as possible. Otherwise, the carbides and sulfides due to incomplete combustion of the gunpowder would be destroyed.
It will gradually affect the next gunpowder combustion, which will eventually lead to uneven stress inside the gun body and produce a result.
Exploded chamber.
Yellow sand is flying.
Green smoke lingers.
The soldiers measuring the range of cannonballs were busy, and the soldiers rearranging new targets were also busy.
The same goes for the craftsmen, who are arguing, calculating, and gesticulating with each other.
The soldiers under the high platform were also busy, whispering to each other in low voices, or comforting the big guys with long necks and long legs around them.
The only one who remained calm was Fei Qian on the high platform.
Fei Qian pinched his beard, looked at it, and thought.
Taishi Ci showed some anger beyond the ordinary level at the moment...
This is somewhat unusual.
Fei Qian's eyes followed Taishi Ci for a while, and he probably understood what Taishi Ci was thinking.
Relatively speaking, Taishi Ci still prefers the general type, and his thoughts are relatively obvious.
If a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, then what happens when a soldier becomes a general?
Taishi Ci naturally also wanted to go further. Perhaps in Taishi Ci's eyes, this visit to the Western Regions meant that he was likely to become the next Great Protector.
This is indeed the case.
only……
It's not that Fei Qian had any prejudice against Tai Shi Ci, or that he was unwilling to give Tai Shi Ci this position, but Tai Shi Ci didn't seem to understand what it meant to be the Protector of the Western Regions at the moment.
Before Taishi Ci could understand the truth, giving Taishi Ci this position at will would only make Taishi Ci become the next Lu Bu, instead of making new progress, new development, and new changes...
I need to find time to chat with him.
Now that Fei Qian has the opportunity to come here, to Dahan, he cannot say that he should do things according to the old concepts, old methods, and old habits. If everything is done according to the old ways, then Fei Qian must do this
What is the use of a time traveler? Without Fei Qian, the Three Kingdoms were ruled by warlords and each had a melee. With Fei Qian, it would still be a warlord rule and a melee.
Fei Qian wants to be the hot and horny guy who walks at the forefront of all the big men.
This is the meaning of Feiqian itself.
Every step taken is a new step for China!
Every step forward is one more step towards the expansion of China's territory!
Just like the artillery in front of you, it is also a new step, one more step taken by Fei Qian after he came.
Judging from the five rapid fires of the artillery, the bronze cannon is relatively more stable. After all, it has been developed and tested for a long time. The artillery is relatively consistent in terms of range and rate of fire, while the cast iron cannon is more stable.
Relatively speaking, it's a little worse, but it's really only a little bit. Compared with the high price of bronze cannons, it doesn't seem unacceptable that cast iron cannons are so slightly worse.
As for the wrought iron cannon, because it is small, has a short range, and has less powder, it shoots faster. But now this wrought iron cannon is a little awkward. If the rate of fire cannot go up, it may not be as accurate as a ballista, and
Not as convenient as a catapult...
New technology always lags behind old technology at the beginning, just like the steam train was not as fast as the horse-drawn carriage at the beginning, and it was also less safe and convenient.
But now, Fei Qian is undoubtedly certain that cast iron cannons will quickly replace bronze cannons, and wrought iron cannons must be developed again, which will force the improvement of metallurgical forging technology, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will change to the direction of iron alloys.
If ferroalloys want to develop, they must also pull up materials science, basic physics, basic chemistry, and even some side subjects, such as basic mineralogy, etc.
Taishi Ci suppressed his anger in the audience, and once again stood in front of the battle formation, explaining with a serious face that he asked his soldiers to control themselves, and he must also control his big partners around him!
Taishi Ci knew that this was a rehearsal before the war. In other words, if these soldiers and horses could not get used to the roar of artillery fire, then they might not get used to it when they actually go to the battlefield, and it would even cause worse effects.
It can be solved by three lashes.
Taishi Ci hasn't been out for a walk in a long time. He doesn't want to be kicked back soon after he goes out to have fun!
Taishi Ci rectified the formation and boosted his morale. Every time he said something, his private soldiers shouted in response, and then all the soldiers also shouted in unison. For a time, the people on the Gobi Desert were thundering, which was like the previous artillery.
The sound overwhelmed the momentum.
The military system needs reform, not only for the soldiers, but also for the generals.
In the current general system of the Han Dynasty, the private soldiers actually play a very important role. They are not only powerful means on the battlefield, guarding the generals, weapons to break formations, and advance troops, but they are also liaison soldiers and messengers on the battlefield.
, as well as supervising the battle team, and even serving as a training instructor and patrolling military police on the battlefield...
The concentration of so many functions is indeed conducive to the Han general's convenience in commanding the troops, but it also makes the general's authority too large and complicated, so that the requirements for the position of general are actually very high.
The gap between the upper and lower limits is really too big. A strong general can make full use of these things, but a weak general can only drag down the three armies.
Does this problem only exist now?
No, otherwise people wouldn't often lament that the incompetence of one general exhausted the entire army.
So if there is a problem, why don’t you want to fix it?
This again involves vested interests.
Besides, people are accustomed to thinking that the people in the past are not good, that is because the people in the past were not good, but I can do it. But when I took over, I hurriedly discovered that the reality is more skinny than imagined.
Therefore, just like the division of local administrative power, the military power of the Han Dynasty also needed to be refined and divided.
The refinement and division of military power requires professional soldiers, that is, people who regard military affairs as a job. Civil servants and soldiers have some similarities, but they are different in subtle ways, just like artillery.
The tolerance of artillery shells may not be a problem at first, but after being used too much, various problems will occur, and eventually the chamber will explode.
Feiqian had previously promoted the professionalization of military personnel, and now it has slowly accumulated a lot of serving and retired military personnel. Now taking advantage of the turmoil in the Western Region, it is impossible to take steps to climb this technological route.
The artillery roared again, this time it was not rapid fire, but the maximum charge to test the longest range.
The bronze cannon once again took the lead, while the cast iron cannon fell far behind.
Craftsmen said that the craftsmanship of bronze cannons is more mature and the inside of the cannon body is smoother, while the cast iron cannons are relatively inferior.
Fei Qian can probably understand that the potholes and unevenness in the cannon body, which appear to be insignificant to the naked eye, will cause the forces generated by the gunpowder explosion to conflict and offset each other, and will not fully act on the cannonball. This may require the improvement of mold technology and
Improve.
Every technological development is a fork in the technology tree. If it goes wrong, it will go wrong. Maybe there will be a chance to correct it again, but maybe there will be no second chance...
Just like the development of artillery in Chinese history, when it developed from bronze to cast iron, the problems of these cast iron cannons were not followed up in a timely manner technically. Instead, they became a weapon to suppress opponents politically and for personal gain.
In the end, the Ming Dynasty lost the last chance to develop artillery and handed over its money to the West, allowing the West to have more capital, more experiments, and greater technological development. In the end, during the Qing Dynasty, the West was directly
The country's gates were opened.
This is not to cleanse the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing Dynasty is indeed worthless and does not need to be cleansed at all.
After foreigners invaded China, they did not regard the Chinese as human beings. This was true for the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Looking at Asan, the indigenous people downgraded their status every time they were invaded, and they were not able to change until later generations.
In fact, it is not only the nomadic people who do not regard the Chinese people as human beings, but also the children of the gentry in the Central Plains. They are just more hidden, and will not talk about two-legged sheep in front of their faces, cook them and eat them.
Therefore, when Fei Qianqian saw on the Internet that some ordinary people were making public claims for the Qing Dynasty, and even openly expressed envy of those elder brothers, and would always give birth to monkeys for a certain elder brother, he felt very incredible. Is it natural for these common people to do so?
Empathize with capital and dance with class? If it is a remnant of the original big braid, just to oil the braid and arrange flowers, it would be excusable. Why should an ordinary person pity capital and sympathize with the former rulers? With their ancestors eating
How painful is the suffering?
In later generations, Fei Qian saw someone saying that the Qing Dynasty had made ten improvements in territory, cultural development, agricultural science and technology, etc., or it could be called contributions, or it could be like the old man Shiquan who was trying to polish the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, if you think about it carefully,
Thinking about it, it's all nonsense.
Territory itself is the most basic foundation of the country. If the territory cannot be expanded when it is strong, how can it be used to add glory to the face? Didn't the Han Dynasty expand? Didn't the Tang Dynasty expand? Why did the Qing Dynasty suddenly become the most powerful?
What contribution has the unity made?
The agricultural population and so on are all supported by sweet potatoes.
As for the culture of the Qing Dynasty, it is a joke. How many old books were burned in Sikuquanshu, and how many people were killed in the literary inquisition? Then it became the inheritance of culture in the mouths of some people? Not only that, some people said that the Qing Dynasty was in the military
He made outstanding contributions to the Qing Dynasty, but kept silent about the corruption of the Eight Banners, the incompetence of the Green Camp, and the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Instead, he talked about the unification of the Birds, saying that this was the great merit of the Qing Dynasty...
Even people of later generations will be blinded by some short-term and one-sided stimulation in their thoughts and wisdom.
So what about the current situation of Dahan?
How difficult it is to make people understand things and understand the truth!
In the army, it is relatively closed and the environment is simple. Fei Qian is also doing it, but the same is not easy.
The reform of the military system cannot be achieved overnight. It can only be obtained by seeking knowledge from above. Whether it is the ideological guidance specialist in the military or the military officials, it is actually a double-edged sword, and it is not something to be installed without thinking.
Once you do it, you can have fun.
Fei Qian had considered this issue deeply before, and finally decided to implement it to a limited extent, or even put it on hold temporarily, waiting for changes in the environment and suitable opportunities.
Fei Qian received a report from Sima Yi, the minister of Dali Temple, saying that a retired soldier had committed a crime in the countryside and asked Fei Qian for instructions on what to do...
The software is also very simple.
When a retired soldier returned to his hometown, he found that he was not returning home in glory as he had imagined, but was still under the oppression of the squires. In addition, this soldier was relatively honest, and various people thought he was easy to bully. At the beginning, this soldier was still
He kept enduring the calm for a while and took a step back to open up the world. But he didn't expect that the more he gave in, the more others thought he was easy to bully.
Eventually the conflicts accumulated to a certain extent, and the honest man broke out.
The killing skills learned in the military are not learned in vain. Once you see blood, you can't hold back...
And it's not just this case.
The matters reported by Sima Yi were already very lagging behind. He even tried his best to use relatively "safe" examples to ask for instructions. Otherwise, according to what those people from Huaxia Lezihun came up with, they would be yellow hairs, bull heads, etc.
When he returns home, the God of War recharges his wife and daughter’s money to do business...
Anyone with a little more sobriety knows what the title God of War means?
When people all over China are laughing and joking about the "God of War" and making pornographic remarks, how should the soldiers who work hard to achieve the goal of "God of War" deal with themselves?
Is this really entertaining the public?
Fei Qian thought for a long time and finally made the most basic decision to implement the law in accordance with the law, be impartial and maintain the social order.
Beyond the law, certain care was given to the family of this veteran soldier.
This is not just a matter of murderers paying for their lives, but more importantly, it reflects the problems of class contradictions, military and social differences. At this stage, Fei Qian can only make gradual progress like promoting artillery improvements.
Instead of taking something from future generations and using it directly.
What's more, some systems in later generations may not be the best, such as the Tang Dynasty's imperial soldiers, the Ming Dynasty's military offices and military households, etc.
Imagine that in the army, if Fei Qian carried out ideological counseling and strengthening according to the rigid methods of later generations, even if he could really make these soldiers understand what faith is, what hope is, what is the future, what is the country and the nation, and then they would also gain
Stronger support and combat effectiveness, but then what?
When these soldiers return home...
I was told in the army that I could make a lot of money by setting up a stall, but within three days of setting up a stall in my hometown, my stall was smashed.
In the army, it was said that hard work would lead to success, but when I arrived home, I found that hard work could only provide me with food and clothing, while those who did not have to work were riding horses, collecting rent, and enjoying endless enjoyment.
In the army, I was told that there was hope and sunshine and good days were behind me. But when I got home, I found that not only was there no one to care about me, no hope, no so-called good days, but there were also many different guys who wanted to ride on me and step on me.
So under such circumstances, what will happen to these veterans who know what faith is, what hope is, what the future is, and what the country and the nation are in the military? What will they choose to do?
One, two, three, then one year, two years, three years...
Then, if Fei Qian still preaches in the military what hope is, what is the future, what is the country and the nation, will anyone believe it? At that time, what will we do if we encounter a national crisis in that state?
The reason why this model was very useful at a certain stage in later generations was simply because the environment at that time could coordinate with each other. Military was the first priority, and only those who could win would have a future. But now Fei's potential
It means that the whole country is in full force, giving up everything to win victory? Even if it can be done, what happens after victory is won? Therefore, unless Fei Qian wants to implement a military government system throughout the Han Dynasty and implement the strategy of ruling areas, he cannot do anything
Change, otherwise...
Everyone is staring at the flower of success, thinking it is so amazing when the flower blooms, but they don't know that the roots at the bottom of the flower are soaked with blood and tears.
Therefore, when dealing with the issue of the military system, Fei Qian can still only seek for the best in order to obtain it from the middle.
The soldier system is like this, and so is the general system. It is in line with the current productivity and production technology, and combined with the environment, it not only releases some authority but also takes back some responsibilities, and it cannot become a fixed "ancestral law".
If the old method is not suitable, then improve it or even update it.
After the chaos broke out in the Western Region, some people foolishly clamored to push in. There were jingling, beatings, and explosions, and then there was a roar of surrender and beheading of those who deserved it. It was extremely lively, and blood was everywhere on the ground.
I just feel happy and relaxed.
But then what?
Will there be any changes to the Western Region system?
If Fei Qian really followed these people's ideas and went to conquer the Western Regions, it would be nothing more than a new reincarnation, and a new Protectorate, or Jiedushi, would be born, and later generations would also call him a warlord. What would it do to China?
Gain?
Taishi Ci can be the next protector of the Western Regions, but he cannot simply become the next protector.
On the Gobi Desert, artillery roared and gunpowder smoke filled the air.
The sound roared in the distance of Yumen Pass, still echoing endlessly.
The group of people stopped and looked around. This may be another battlefield, maybe there is no physical smoke, but it is equally dangerous...
