Chapter 126 The first loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty
Bai Yunqi's few words set off a wave of everyone exposing each other's shortcomings!
Soon someone said: The heavy armor, sword and shield soldiers led by Butcher Chen took too long to prepare. By the time they finished donning their armor and rushed forward, the Ming army would have already fled.
Butcher Chen wanted to vomit blood after hearing this. It must take time for them to put on armor before the battle. Is it possible that they can run around wearing dozens of kilograms of armor all day long? No one can bear it.
Even a tough man like him, Butcher Chen, can't stand it!
After a while, someone else said: The archer's accuracy is really weak!
During the day today, the archers actually shot a wave. Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and many of the archers were unqualified. Not only did they have no accuracy, but they didn't even have the range, so they didn't shoot at that time.
That wave of arrows didn't even hurt half of the Ming army's hair!
But in this regard, the team of two archers said that I was also wronged! We are not willing to do it either!
There are only a few qualified archers under their command, and most of them are unqualified according to strict military standards, but what can they do?
They can't conjure up a lot of qualified archers out of thin air!
Besides, it would be nice to have such a group of archers who can barely shoot to provide you with long-range firepower. What else do you want?
After talking about the archers, someone else criticized the musketeers of the Guards, saying that they fired from too far away. They should wait until the enemy is within ten steps before shooting. That way the hit rate will be higher, ensuring that every shot will hit the target with one fell swoop.
Defeat the enemy.
But soon some members of the Guards responded: After our musketeers fire, they still have to fix their bayonets. This takes time. If they shoot too late, they won’t have enough time to fix their bayonets. You guys?
The old antique who is still playing with cold weapons knows nothing about musket combat.
If you have time to talk nonsense, why not practice with our musketeers? I want to see if you are more powerful than the previous Ming troops and can withstand my musketeers!
There were more than twenty people in this room looking for each other, and it didn't take long for it to turn into a rant, with all kinds of classic, vulgar and national curses constantly being heard!
Especially the officers and men on both sides of the Standing Army and the Guards were at odds with each other. You said I was short, and I said you had no endurance.
I just had to take off my pants and compete on the spot to see who peed further!
Facts have proved that Li Xuan's meeting was wrong, and he should have established meeting discipline in advance!
But now, a good post-war summary meeting has turned into a scolding battle in the market! And looking at the people below who are getting more and more excited, the people on both sides of the Guards and the Standing Army seem to be rolling up their sleeves and fighting.
The tendency to get up!
Damn it, I'm sitting up here, and you guys start fighting, where do you want me, the emperor of the valley, to put my face!
Li Xuan's face looked ugly at the top. Naturally, some of the important officials from the Tang Dynasty below reacted quickly. Among them, Wang Wenhua was still the fastest reacter. He came out of the queue, with one hand on his hip and one finger pointing at Fang Dongquan and others who were arguing with each other.
, took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "You are all important ministers of the Tang Dynasty. How can you be so impolite in front of the emperor?"
Wang Wenhua's loud shout made Li Xuan, who was sitting above, quite satisfied. This Wang Wenhua was indeed the number one flatterer in the Tang Dynasty. His ability to observe words and emotions was indeed outstanding. He just showed a look of dissatisfaction. This person was the observer.
He arrived and immediately gathered them up to reprimand everyone.
This kind of heart to relieve your worries is really rare. I am a rare loyal minister in the Tang Dynasty!
This guy is not bad. I will give him a promotion in the future and reward him with a title or something like that!
When Fang Dongquan and others heard Wang Wenhua's words, they were a little dazed at first, especially Butcher Chen, who had always looked down on Wang Wenhua. When they heard that he pointed at his nose and scolded them for their crimes, they immediately became angry.
Fuck your mother, I have a damn fault, and you, a soft-footed shrimp who only knows how to flatter others, are also guilty.
Being glared at by Butcher Chen's sharp gaze, Wang Wenhua unconsciously took half a step back. Butcher Chen's look was so scary, as if he wanted to draw a knife and kill him on the spot.
But after Butcher Chen glared at Wang Wenhua, he suddenly found that the tent had suddenly become quiet. He found that everyone had stopped arguing and closed their mouths.
Turning his head slightly, he saw that Li Xuan, who was sitting at the top, had a calm expression, but was frowning slightly.
Seeing this scene, he just closed his mouth like everyone else and didn't even look at Wang Wenhua.
Seeing Butcher Chen shrinking back, Wang Wenhua's slightly bent waist straightened up again, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he also let out a snort.
This look made Li Xuan, who was above him, want to cover his face. Wang Wenhua's current look was the classic look of a villain who succeeds. He was afraid that Butcher Chen would not be able to bear it and go up to him directly. One punch.
Butcher Chen seemed to be irritated, his face turned red, as if he couldn't help but punch Wang Wenhua in the next moment.
In order to bring this post-war summary meeting, which had turned into a market scolding, back on track, and at the same time to protect Wang Wenhua, a loyal minister, Li Xuan spoke:
"I have listened to what you all have said, but there is some noise and I can't hear you clearly. Please don't make any noise while all the dear ones take turns to speak!"
When he said this, Li Xuan also glanced at Wang Danxu and Chen Tufu, the two people who had been arguing the most fiercely just now!
Li Xuan set the tone, and others naturally had to give him this face. Although Li Xuan had no actual power in Huangzhu Mountain in the past, as time went by, Li Xuan's power was growing day by day.
Previously, because of the support of a standing army under Bai Yunqi's command and the Guards under Wang Danxu's command, Li Xuan had gradually escaped the fate of a puppet emperor.
And when the Guards won a complete victory today and showed a combat effectiveness that far exceeded that of the standing army, Li Xuan, who single-handedly created the Guards, also had a greatly enhanced prestige.
From today on, even Fang Dongquan no longer dares to regard Li Xuan as a puppet emperor who can be manipulated at will!
As his prestige and power increased, the weight of Li Xuan's words naturally became more and more important. After these words were spoken, the subsequent post-war summary meeting finally lost the chaotic appearance before.
This time Fang Dongquan was the first to speak, followed by Huang Xueren, Chen Tufu, and Bai Yunqi, who also spoke one after another, summarizing the many problems of the standing army, but they were all too vague and did not mention some practical issues.
On the other hand, the officers of several units of the Standing Army were at the grassroots level, so I don't know if they were stimulated by the Guards. Most of the problems they mentioned were insufficient training, insufficient discipline, etc.
After the Standing Army started talking, the Guards also started!
The first thing Wang Danxu said was: "Our Guards has a lot of problems, but the biggest problem now is that there are not enough people in our Guards and there are too few muskets!" js3v3
