Nie Shicheng’s colleagues did not forget to excavate themselves in congratulations. Zhang Yizheng pushed them out again. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is what I want to introduce to you-Zhang Yi, a rising star of the Huai Army. Thanks to this guy, I trained a tough team three months ago, which was stronger than a good soldier’s surprise attack on Yashan, and a fire at the Japanese station burned all the trench of the Japanese army; When the Japanese army besieged Nandaying, it was he who led the Cang Lang battalion to retreat the strong enemy; When our department retreated to Kaicheng, it was he who led dozens of departments to pester the Japanese main force for nearly two days; This time, during the Kaesong War, he led the troops alone to guard Maoershan for three days and three nights, and 600 troops withstood the onslaught of three or four thousand Japanese troops. Finally, he managed to capture ōshima Yoshimasa alive, causing the leader of the Japanese army to be defeated by our army! Zhang Yi, the great victory of our army, is really responsible. He is a wise man I should be ashamed of! "
These late Qing heavyweights listened to Nie Shicheng’s introduction and repeatedly marveled at the fact that this young man is only twenty years old and can have such talent. Time is definitely the future Qing Optimus Prime Stone!
Zuo Baogui laughed. "Gong Ting insulted me in troubled times more than 30 years ago. Fortunately, Wen Zhenggong and Wen Xianggong Li Zhongtang were born one after another, and Ma Zhijun and Ma Zhishi were able to stabilize the situation. After 30 years of Tongguang Zhongxing, Wen Zhenggong and Wen Xianggong died now, and old nave is over the age of ancient Qing. I didn’t expect to be a genius. This is a great blessing!"
Zuo Baogui’s position is that Su Zhong is the best among the later generals of the Huai Army, and Nie Shicheng now speaks with considerable weight, and his three adults have also responded.
Zhang Yi repeatedly thanked Zhang Yi, "You adults have praised Zhang Yi, and you are too generous to win such a big victory. All the officers and men are well-dispatched. How dare Zhang Yi be greedy …"
Everyone is polite.
Zuo Baogui took the lead in asking, "Brother Gong Ting, now the Japanese army is temporarily withdrawing troops from Kaesong. I don’t know if our army will come and stop? Also ask for instructions "
Nie Shicheng mused, "Guan Ting brothers, although the Japanese army has temporarily withdrawn, the situation in North Korea has not eased much. For example, today, the North Korean garrison is close to 30,000 people and Chinese reinforcements are still being transported to Busan by warships. According to the current trend, the Japanese army may have 50,000 elite troops in North Korea before October. To be honest, my Japanese army has been an eye-opener for the Japanese elite. My Lutai Huai Army is also known as the elite of the Huai Army, which is not inferior to the various departments of the Huai Army. However, I have to admit that the Japanese military strength is indeed that our army can win the
Wei Rugui took a slight breath of air conditioning and exclaimed, "Brother Gong Ting, is the Japanese army really so powerful?"
Nie Shicheng sighed lightly, "That’s true. If we are far away from the soil logistics, it should be inconvenient to dispatch troops. Once the Japanese main force comes to our army again, the pressure will suddenly increase. We must not take it lightly."
Ma Yukun smiled and replied, "Brother Gong Ting doesn’t have to wait for the Japanese invaders to destroy our prestige. Let’s follow nave’s adult’s expedition to the North. It’s also a battle-hardened day. It’s also a long journey across the ocean. Materials need to be dispatched from China as much as I do in Qing Dynasty. We have won the battle, but I am very interested in Zhang Yi’s training of a new army. Brother Gong Ting is so impressed that he wants to appreciate the style of a new army in your department."
Zuo Baogui should and said, "yeah! You are patronizing the praise, and we have to see this new army. "
Nie Shicheng gave a smile, "Don’t worry, don’t worry, it’s getting late today. We’ll look at the victory in Kaesong early in the morning. I also want to urge the court to continue to dispatch reinforcements. At the same time, relying on our current 30 battalions is far from enough to fight against the future 50 thousand Japanese elite. We still need to ask the emperor and the queen mother to continue to transfer troops to support North Korea in this battle. Once we lose the cession of the Great Qing Dynasty, the indemnity will be followed by the great powers, and the 40 million Li people in the Qing Dynasty will be even more miserable."
Zuo Baogui primly said, "Brother Gong Ting’s words are far-sighted. We are not waiting for us. We are willing to jointly name and play the court together, and at the same time tell nave’s adult to ask him to prepare for the big change as soon as possible."
Nie Shicheng laughed. "So good, please ask your adults to help us to work out the article together, and please ask the court’s nave adults to cut it."
They sat around and talked about it until the middle of the night, and then they dispersed the paper and handed it over to the court.
On the second day, everyone got up early. Zuo Baogui and others were anxious and wanted to see the new army for a long time. In recent years, the Qing army has been clamoring for reform and imitating the West for quite a while. It’s always thunder and rain, but it’s not as real as today’s coercion. It’s so hard to force the new army out. Although the scale is still small, it’s much easier to train the new army later.
They came to teach the martial arts field and ten Cang Lang players, Zhang Yihu, led by them, were all in place.
Zhang Yi came to Nie Shicheng and bowed down and said, "Please show me that the Cang Lang drill personnel are in place."
Nie Shicheng nodded and smiled. "Let’s get started."
Zhang Yi had ordered people to get the exercise equipment ready last night, with a length of 500 feet and a width of 300 feet. He set up three obstacle walls and pulled up a barbed wire fence to teach the martial arts field. Ten mobile gun targets were placed side by side at the front.
Zhang Yi said to the crowd, "In this exercise, the Cang Lang players will climb over three obstacle walls with guns and five kilograms of weight in five minutes, then climb over the front barbed wire to reach the designated place 150 steps away to shoot their respective moving targets. Five bullets each, please review them!"
After that, Zhang Yi turned to Zhang Yihu and shouted, "Zhang Yihu will start the exercise immediately!"
Zhang Yihu roared "Yes!"
Zhang Yihu shouted "Ready to start!"
See ten Cang Lang players flew out in an instant and came to the front of the barrier wall. Cang Lang’s door jumped up straight, and his arm had already climbed over the edge of the barrier wall without any sloppiness. Then he came to the front of the barbed wire and climbed over the barbed wire to the front of the designated position. The gun target began to shake. The players stood together and shot blink of an eye, and five rounds were ejected from Mao Se’s rifle.
Nie Shicheng stood up with a smile and said, "My lords, why don’t we just go over there and have a look?"
Zuo Baogui Gongyi replied, "The guard is so better. We are about to open our eyes."
Chapter 53 God’s skill
Nie Shicheng collaborative people came to the front of the gun target a few people have picked up the gun target to watch.
Psst! They don’t breath a mouthful of air conditioning to see the gun target all bullet holes tribe bull’s-eye. This is a moving target and it’s too much for the players to shoot while marching. Five shots are all nine rings, and five or six targets are all perfect defects in ten ring’s hit!
"God on technology on technology! Brother Gong Ting’s marksmanship is rare in the world. Don’t say that even the military elites of western powers in Qing Dynasty may not have such a high standard! " Zuo Baogui changed four or five gun targets in a row, and his company commanders were amazed with disbelief. At the same time, he looked at Nie Shicheng with envy and jealousy. This is a godsend, and he has such a fierce hand. Which company commanders are not thirsty?
Zhang Yi and Nie Shicheng have repeatedly praised and thanked each other.
They returned to their mansion, Nie Shicheng, and said, "Brother Guan Ting, my lords, although the military quality of the Japanese army today is not comparable to that of the Cang Lang Brigade, it is a little higher than our training level in Qing Dynasty. We will be better than the arduous Japanese soldiers in the Sino-Japanese War. You have not seen it for some time, so naturally you know that we must not be careless."
After all, Nie Shicheng’s successive victories have lowered their evaluation of the Japanese army by several levels, which is far less shocking than that of western powers.
When Nie Shicheng saw it, he knew that the company commanders were a little angry and a little perfunctory and sighed, "Do you know that there are so few Qing cavalry in our department?"
Zuo Baogui laughed and said, "I would like to hear more."
Nie Shicheng said with a sigh, "You were defeated and killed in the Battle of Yashan, Ye Zhichao, and the camp at the northern foot of the mountain was beaten out of the water. Most of the strength was damaged. However, our department made arrangements to wipe out the incoming enemy because of the Japanese night attack. At that time, nearly 3,000 people in the Japanese mountain were surrounded by our army halfway up the mountain. When our army broke through, we sent Japanese cavalry to rush to my former camp. I ordered the cavalry battalion to engage in battle for just over ten minutes, and more than 300 people in my cavalry battalion were killed. We should know that at that time, our army was still not a
Zuo Baogui and others can’t help but look at each other. The Huai army in Lutai, Nie Shicheng is famous for being able to fight and be good at hard fighting. In the battle of Zhennan, Nie Shicheng led his French army to take over the battle, but now the cavalry actually lost to the Japanese cavalry in the attack. People don’t pay attention to it.
Zuo Baogui hesitated. "So the Japanese attack power is really not underestimated?"
Nie Shicheng nodded.
Wei Rugui asked, "So what should I do when I see you coming?"
Nie Shicheng replied, "At the beginning of Zhang Yi’s training, I ordered Zhang Yi, the general instructor of North Korean armies, to ask him to be responsible for the training of the army. It is an instant training on the battlefield. Now, while the Japanese army is resting and preparing for war, I intend to temporarily appoint Zhang Yijun, the general instructor, to be responsible for the training of various ministries. Try to improve our army’s combat capability before the war between the two armies!"
Zuo Baogui said with a smile, "Brother Gong Ting, Zhang Yi is a great talent. If it can unify the training of various ministries, I think the fighting capacity of the Qing army will inevitably change, and it will increase the chances of winning in the face of the Japanese army."
O Fengsheng hesitated, "So it’s not in line with the rules, isn’t it? It’s a war that the imperial court only aims at Nie Junmen’s unified scheduling and training, but it’s still controlled by various ministries. Now it’s too heavy to entrust this matter to Zhang Yi. I wonder if Zhang Guandai can be promoted to two, but it’s not polite to discuss privately without asking for an order, and I’m afraid it will be criticized by the imperial court."
Fengsheng O is full of ministers, the Qing army is also a flag master with low combat power, but it can also be said that the flag soldiers are the only ones who can get a few troops, so that Zhang Yi, a new debut Han Chen, will not hesitate to take over the training of his men. If the court knows about Lafayette, it will be difficult to explain.
Zuo Baogui said, "There is a saying in Fengsheng’s command of the Han family that’ the life of the foreign monarch will not be affected’. Now we are waiting for the news of the Korean battlefield to change constantly. We should not make a big loss according to the times. It has been clearly stated in the imperial court’s edict that the Korean war is handled by the Gongting and the training is handled by the Gongting. There will be no dissatisfaction in the imperial court. It is natural to plan the training as soon as the war is over."
Wei Rugui Ma Yukun has also responded.
Fengsheng Adai disagreed, but it was hard to violate the will of the people, and Zuo Baogui said it with a nod.
Zhang Yi interjected, "I don’t know what to say, but I don’t know what to say."
Nie Shicheng said, "Zhang Yi has something to say. Let’s listen to it first."
Zhang Yi replied, "When your adults were training, I trained at least 400 people to become an army, but I promised to become an army. However, the reason for a hundred people is naturally urgent. Now the training is also so difficult for me. The Japanese army will come back in a few days and will not leave us too long. When I have limited energy, it is difficult to train too many people. Therefore, I intend to do this and transfer 30 members of the Cang Lang Brigade into the adult camp in groups of six to strictly train the soldiers in each department. I will lead ten members to your adults and select some elite members to train by myself.
Wei Rugui frowned and said, "Everything else is easy to handle, but the reorganization of Cang Lang from the ministries involves the establishment of ministries …"
Zhang Yi replied, "Wei’s adult, the future Sino-Japanese war will not be limited to thousands of people fighting. For example, the number of Japanese troops stationed in the DPRK is close to 30,000 today and is still increasing. It is expected that the number of Japanese troops stationed in the DPRK may exceed 50,000 in two months. After half a year, if we do not impose restrictions on the Japanese navy in the Yellow Sea, the Japanese army may increase its troops by 100,000, and the total strength of the Sino-Japanese war will definitely exceed 100,000, much more than 200,000. Now, The less obvious it is to want the Cang Lang Brigade to exert its maximum combat effectiveness, which will affect the Sino-Japanese war situation. We must know that expanding 1,000 people will require at least 200 people at this stage! "
"Two hundred thousand people!" Everyone is not horrified. This is an unprecedented war. If it really reaches that scale, then the North Korean armies are afraid of being cannon fodder. It is very limited that they can play a role in a war of more than 10,000 people and 200,000 people.
Chapter 54 The wind rises and the sea rises!
Chapter 56 The wind blows in the Yellow Sea
Zuo Baogui asked with horror, "Is Zhang Yi serious?"
They don’t change color except Nie Shicheng.
Zuo Baogui said somberly, "In that case, we must urge the imperial court to continue to dispatch army support. Now the Japanese army alone has reached 30,000, and in two months, it will be close to 50,000. If our follow-up reinforcements are late, let’s not say that we are lucky to win the battle and get away with it."
Ma Yukun replied, "Although our army has just won a big victory, the overall situation has not changed. Once the enemy attacks us, the pressure is too great."
Nie Shicheng replied, "Please be a little relieved. A few days ago, I told nave’s adult that he should pay close attention to rectifying the navy and actively prepare for the war. According to Zhang Yi’s information, the Japanese army’s Beiyang Navy has already started a firefight in the past two days. I’m afraid Junbao will come to us soon. Let’s prepare for the Korean battlefield first and then talk about him. I ordered Zhang Yijun to be in charge of the training and supervision of various armies. All ministries engaged in military affairs if there are any disobedients! Everyone is in a tight situation now, please forgive me a lot! "
Zuo Baogui replied, "Brother Gong Ting, according to your words, Zhang Yi is in charge of training and supervising the strength of our army to increase our chances of winning!"
Nie Shicheng nodded and said, "Zhang Yi, I order you to select elite soldiers from various ministries and armies to expand the Cang Lang Brigade. The first battalion is fully staffed to ensure the training effect. In addition, Xu Huaijin’s talent has allowed you to dispose of 400 soldiers, and Cang Lang Brigade has been somewhat condescended. Now I have ordered Xu Huaijin to act as deputy battalion commander on behalf of the agency and concurrently participate in the army, so you can choose another team leader."
Zhang Yi gave a wry smile and nodded, saying it was Xu Huaijin. It was his right-hand man who was transferred from Nie Shicheng. It really didn’t adapt.
When people discussed the war situation, the Yellow Sea also ushered in a sunny day.
Ding Ruchang led the main force of Beiyang Navy to leave Liu Gongdao and transported more than 4,000 people from Mingzi Camp to the Korean Peninsula. Although Ding Ruchang has received Li Hongzhang’s warning and made careful arrangements for the fleet’s combat readiness, there are still some worries in his heart. After all, Beiyang Navy has never experienced a big battle since it became a military. In the past two years, due to lack of training, its fighting power has dropped, and Ding Ruchang can also hope that all the soldiers will be United before it becomes a new army. The naval fighting power of Japan is also a second knife.
Two columns of Beiyang Navy marched into the waters of Dadonggou, which has gradually approached the Korean Peninsula. There is still no sign of the Japanese army in the waters. Ding Ruchang heaved a sigh of relief to transport reinforcements to the border between China and North Korea smoothly, and the Beiyang Navy was completed.
Warships gradually landed, and several battalions of the Qing army gradually landed in Ding Ruchang to complete the handover and lead the Beiyang Navy to return.
The fleet left Bohai Bay and gradually marched towards the Yellow Sea.
At this time, a strong wind began to blow on the sea surface, and the tide surged on the flagship deck of Ding Ruchang. This time, the imperial court put more and more pressure on him. The Puritans were not as good as the North Korean Nie Shicheng, and Li Hongzhang repeatedly asked him to strictly rectify his armaments and prepare for the Japanese war. In particular, the former sent a letter to the Japanese army to attack the Beiyang Navy, which made Ding Ruchang feel that he must never sit still and take action to block the imperial court’s Puritans.
Ding Ruchang sighed lightly. First, he led the fleet to cruise out. If the Japanese really attacked him, would he be sure of winning? None of this group of clean water is a good thing. Usually, the navy is not given funds. When it comes to the war, it reminds us to meet again. Without strict training and well-equipped ammunition, can we guarantee victory even if we go to war? These people can talk about soldiers on paper, but they don’t know shit! ……
At this time, a QinBing behind him came and said, "It’s windy, Sir. Adults can take a break or put on clothes in the operation room first."
Ding Ruchang shook his head and said, "The Japanese army may appear at any time. Today’s World War I is estimated to be difficult. Where does the old man still have the mind to rest and wear orders to order the ships to move at a constant speed? Don’t keep the formation too fast and be ready to engage."
Qinbing promised to start issuing semaphore orders as soon as he got to the deck.
The Qing army, which is marching on the duty whistle of the mast building, shouted, "Sir, the Japanese ship is approaching the Woshui Division quickly in front of the Governor!"
Ding Ruchang spirit a flap holding a telescope to climb the mast building and look at the finger line of the Qing army to see the distant water-sky junction. Several warships are approaching quickly.
Ding Ruchang shouted, "Flag the ships to prepare for the battle according to the previous deployment!"
The flag officer waved the flag in his hand and handed the message to the rear ships to deploy the battle order.
