Somewhat unexpectedly, the title of Chinese New Army was actually fully approved. Maybe some people really think that this title is good. But more people may be because this title was submitted by Shi Lei himself.
What was even more unexpected to Shi Lei was that everyone asked him to be the leader. This should be something they had jointly discussed in the past few days.
Because the vote passed unanimously, Shi Lei finally took the position of agent. Of course, the word agent was added by Shi Lei himself because he felt that this official position would start on the day when a new government was established.
The territory is not large, and the officials are not bloated. Moreover, Shi Lei and the others have complete control over the direction of public opinion, so it is very easy to change. In just one month, everything was arranged properly.
Why are changes in ancient times so difficult to achieve? The people are ignorant, and the right to speak is in the hands of the aristocrats. Good reforms will basically offend the interests of the aristocrats. Then the aristocrats will benefit from the so-called ancient system, and then manipulate the ignorant psychology of the people to carry out the changes.
Heavy obstacles.
Of course, most reforms that are unpopular will end in failure. As a modern person, Shi Lei knows this deeply. So it is easy to handle, first grasp the direction of public opinion. Tell the people that the benefits of doing so are better than the previous benefits. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read.
, someone read it to them.
Once the people realize the benefits of this, they will naturally support the change vigorously.
"Brother Lei, we have a strong army now. But why can't we send troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty court?"
Shi Lei looked up at Mu Nianci and asked, "Has someone asked you this question?"
Mu Nianci shook his head: "I heard my father say this before, and I also heard people below and people at school discussing this matter. They all think that we are fully capable of attacking Song Dynasty."
Shi Lei thought for a while: "Go and call the director of the Information Agency. I'd rather tell the world about this matter than tell you directly."
After a while, the director of the Information Department arrived and bowed to Shi Lei respectfully: "My lord, students, I'm here to greet you."
“What’s the news this month?”
Director Luo said: "Of course it's about reform and teachers. This matter is definitely good news."
Shi Lei nodded: "Remember, I am an agent. I also need to add a few words."
"Teacher, just ask."
"Now the Chinese New Army has the ability to overthrow the decadent regime of the Southern Song Dynasty. It has the ability to fully take over the Southern Song Dynasty. The two hundred thousand Chinese New Army are always ready. But the purpose of our army is to protect the people. In the event of civil war, the Jin Kingdom will definitely take advantage of it. Our army
They would definitely take action against the Southern Song Dynasty court only if they could ensure that they could expel or even destroy the Jin army.
This is the bottom line of our army. War is a matter for soldiers. I hope that the Southern Song Dynasty court will not involve the people, and I also hope that the people themselves can have a clear understanding and do not help the evildoers. We are the Chinese army, and our purpose is to protect the Chinese people. The people can completely put down those things that they do not want.
Necessary worries.”
After Shi Lei finished speaking, and after watching the director of the Information Agency record all these words, Shi Lei nodded: "Go ahead."
"Yes, students are resigning."
As soon as the news came out, it once again caused waves. The words "China's new army and new government" were widely circulated. And the words about the new government were even more widely circulated.
Look at people, they have the ability to hit you, but they don’t come to fight you. Why? Because they want to prevent the Jin army from taking advantage of the situation. People have to ensure that they can expel or even eliminate the Jin army before they start fighting among themselves. So.
noble.
Three months later, the development of trigger ammunition was completed. The first cannon appeared, followed by the first howitzer and then the first mortar. After all tests were successful, it was immediately put into production.
Of course, such a cannon is very primitive, and its effective range is only three kilometers. It is incomparable with the range of tens, hundreds or hundreds of kilometers in later generations. Such a cannon is not difficult. With Shi Lei as a dragon soul
Captain, it is not difficult to build such a cannon. What’s more, it has been developed for so many years.
You must know that the effective range of the Hongyi cannon during the Ming Dynasty has reached 1.5 kilometers.
Three months later, the first rifle appeared. Shi Lei personally supervised the work and designed it, with the Mauser 98k shape.
One year later, the 50,000-strong rifle army was equipped with 50 cannons, 200 howitzers, and 500 mortars.
It's time.
Through the Information Agency, the world was notified that the new Chinese army had been dispatched and was heading directly to the Song Dynasty court.
Suddenly the world was shaken. Some people were looking forward to it, some were nervous, some were panicked, and so on. But the Southern Song Dynasty court was in a state of explosion. It was at a loss.
Some people advocate fighting to the end. Some people advocate making peace. Some people ask the emperor to confer a royal title on Shi Lei. Some people want the emperor to move the capital. There is endless noise in the court.
The army gathered towards Yangzhou. It weighed one hundred thousand, and the riflemen dispatched 20,000. There were ten cannons, fifty howitzers, and Shi Lei brought a full three hundred mortars.
In front of the army, Shi Lei said to Yang Tiexin: "Uncle Yang, go and defend Xiangyang now. The Jin people will definitely take this opportunity to attack in a big way. If they dare to come, give me a hard beating!"
"Don't worry, our army has long been separated from the ordinary army. Thirty thousand riflemen are dispersedly deployed, and there are at least 10,000 riflemen. Without a variety of artillery, when they come, they can be beaten back directly by us, and even
There’s no going back.”
Shi Lei smiled and nodded: "Let's go!"
The army set out. The two guards beside Shi Lei turned out to be Huang Rong and Mu Nianci. Half a year ago, for some unknown reason, the two of them suddenly wanted to join the army.
Shi Lei didn't care. The others had nothing to object to. They couldn't win. Only Yang Tiexin firmly opposed it, but was convinced later.
The two women joined the army, naturally because of their martial arts skills, which were difficult to rival in the army. Instead, they became two beautiful overlords in the army. They were even smart people, and they ranked among the best in an officer assessment.
Someone proposed that they should be army commanders. However, it did not pass the vote. After all, this era was still ancient. The reason why these two girls could join the army was because of the relationship between Shi Lei and Yang Tiexin. If they were allowed to be army commanders, this would be a good idea.
A little too much.
So Shi Lei simply transferred the two of them to his side as guards. This way they can also enter the combat conference room, put forward their own opinions, and use their talents.
Although he is a guard, he is a guard. Even if he puts forward his opinions in the conference room, others will not say anything.
In the following war, Shi Lei had no interest in fighting. The gap was too big. Regular troops were almost not used, artillery bombing, and 20,000 riflemen opened fire directly.
