"Is this a wheel cannon? There are so many! Give me half of Huizhou, and I can hit Xingqing Mansion!"
"Is this a sleeping bag? Aren't all the new armies already equipped? Shouldn't His Highness the Crown Prince want to equip all the Western armies?"
"Gunpowder bullets...hahaha, my favorite! This thing is more effective than the wheel cannon!"
"My dear, there will be no restriction on eating biscuits from now on, right? By the way, these compressed biscuits are sweeter than the food cooked by my mother-in-law. Even the governor has not allowed them to eat them, saying that they are preparing for war!"
…
It’s really a long experience.
Looking at the shipment of rail troops accompanying the vehicle, the wheels were added to the wheel cannon (that is, the tiger crouching cannon), and a baffle was added in front. The soldiers were accustomed to calling the wheel cannon, and even Zhao Xi, the namer, could not stop the name.
spread.)
From wheel cannons to muskets, from sleeping bags to biscuits, from gunpowder bombs to gunpowder, carriages entered the warehouse and empty carriages came out. The Qinzhou Station warehouse, which had been empty for a long time, was quickly filled.
"Will the rest be given to us?"
"I don't know. I'll ask the supervisor later."
"Now call the commander..."
Hahaha, the governor has become the commander, and he himself is the commander...
The military generals followed the carriage around, carrying the mountain armor with them like that. They didn't get tired of the clattering, and watched the unloading of the goods one by one.
As for the civil servants, although they also wanted to watch the excitement, they could only hold back their modesty.
"Your Highness, there are many materials, this battle could be..."
Yu Jing was older and had fewer taboos. In addition, he had interacted with His Highness the Crown Prince in Guangnan in his early years and was familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince's style, so he asked what everyone wanted to ask... Could it really be possible to formulate a plan?
Do you want to call Xingqingfu?
"Mr. Yu, I don't have much material. After sorting it, it will only be enough for this campaign."
"Wagon cannons, muskets, gunpowder, gunpowder bombs, armor, sleeping bags, military rations, alcohol for healing, linen, etc. It's really evenly divided into various categories, not much."
"Also, a few years ago, during the Southern Expedition... where were Sun Jie and Wu Kui?"
Where are Sun Jie and Wu Kuineng? Follow the orbital soldiers and watch the excitement.
Ever since the Southern Expedition, they have been envious of the equipment of the escort battalion. Now... although when the country was equipping the new army, all the commanders and envoys were issued with a full set of equipment, the generals were not included in the escort battalion.
Training, as for the generals above the commander level, they like to accompany the training, that is conscious.
Although Sun Jie and Wu Kui are self-conscious people, it can be seen that today's scene is still quite shocking.
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness, the commander-in-chief of the front line, would send people to look for them... Under the envious eyes of many generals, the two came over in a daze, and also attracted the generals.
"Sun Jie, Wu Kui, during the Southern Expedition, I, Zhao Xi, once said in front of Commander Di and all the generals: In five years, I will equip the soldiers of the country with the equipment of the guard camp."
"It's been less than five years now, but I still made a mistake! These will be the basic configuration of the future Imperial Guards. Of course, the army at that time is the basic standard for the new army now!"
Zhao Xi said it very casually, like chatting a few words, but these few words had a different taste for Sun Jie, Wu Kui, and even all the generals present.
Not to mention His Highness the Crown Prince, the future heir to the empire, and the current commander-in-chief of the front line, he is just an ordinary civil servant. Even if it is a casualty in the army, who would care about the promise made to them as soldiers, or the promise made after many years.
His Royal Highness the Prince not only remembered it, but also specifically mentioned it in front of the entire Western Army civil and military force... What an honor this was, and the key is what an encouragement it was to the entire military commander system!
For civil officials, these words are equivalent to inspiring the generals and boosting the morale of the troops...
Zhao Xi, as always, still has the habit of being vigorous and resolute. Loading and unloading are still in progress here, and he has already asked for a suitable location... Sure enough, this is about to be preached.
In the front yard of the Qinzhou government office, there were several posts surrounded by soldiers. There were neatly placed low stools in the courtyard, which gave it a unique feel. The steps of the government office were used as the rostrum, which was a bit nondescript.
He is really very familiar with Zhao Xi, and even placed a bill on the rostrum for him... I hope it's not someone's incense bill to honor their ancestors.
Behind the desk are several chairs, Taishi chairs, produced by the authentic Guard Camp workshop.
There were so many civil servants including Zhao Xi, Han Jiang, Lu Gongbi, and military commanders such as Guo Kui, Zhong E, Zhe Jizu, etc. that they almost crowded the gate of the Yamen.
"Tell me about it..."
"Shua...shua..."
There is no way, this is the characteristic of the new army, the same practices as the escort battalion, these daily routines have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, pure conditioned reflexes.
When he hears something being said, he will stand at attention autonomously.
There were only three or five of them, and they would do the same movements. They didn't feel inappropriate, but instead felt a sense of pride.
What's more, except for some guards on the track, the commanders of the entire New Army are all present at the venue, and even the security guards at the entire venue are all New Army members.
Stunned... They were all stupefied, whether civil servants or generals who had not received training, they were all a bit stupefied.
What is order and prohibition? This is order and prohibition.
Some people may think of the four words in front of the gate of the guard camp: loyalty and obedience. But now, what was once just a slogan has now become a fact.
"Please take a moment..."
This feeling was really familiar, and Zhao Xi couldn't help but feel a lot more solemn.
"Maybe people don't understand the behavior of calling everyone together at this time, but what I want to say is that this time is very important."
"I believe you have already seen the papers prepared for you on the low stool. I will not read them out specifically. I will just tell you that these are all the terms that must be implemented in this campaign. No one will be exempted, regardless of martial arts! Anyone who violates will be punished.
Kill without mercy!"
There was a noise, and Zhao Xi paused, looked at it... and became quiet. Because the new army in charge of guarding made another "swish" sound as they stood at attention.
In other words, now the frontline commander can enforce battlefield discipline.
"Second point, let's talk about the powers of each commander. I can tell you clearly that each commander has the right to make emergency decisions regarding the war in his own theater."
There was another noise, but this time it was obviously quiet before the new army could stand at attention.
Very good, strict discipline is a prerequisite for victory.
"In other words, commanders above a large scale can independently decide on the tactics of the battlefield they are on. In other words, everyone here can decide whether to fight the Western bandits on a small scale."
"But one thing must be said. There must be a rational and objective assessment of war. Because the final result will be borne by the commander who issued the order."
"Some people may think that this is no different from the past, but what I want to say is that there is a difference. The biggest difference is that no one takes credit for all the military exploits, and no one shares all the responsibilities. Whoever gives the order will enjoy and share the merits and demerits.
bearer."
"Any unit that carries out an independent battle, once its battle losses exceed 30%, sorry, it will not be allowed to participate in the final decisive battle, and it is even possible that it will be deprived of its command rights in all future wars."
