Chapter 241 Surprised to see Sun Cannon
Everyone close to you know that Li Hongzhang is really angry this time.=
The military officer reacted quickly enough. Without saying a word, he knelt in front of Yang Hao and kowtowed.
Yang Hao quickly pressed his shoulder with quick eyes and hands: "Slow down, I can't bear this head!"
"Hmph, you kid knows the truth! There are not many people in my world who can bear it!"
The military officer snorted coldly and was about to get up, but Yang Hao pressed him back with force. He was shocked and angrily shouted: "Do you dare?!"
Yang Hao looked at him with a look of a knife and said sternly: "I said I can't bear it because your head shouldn't have kowtowed to me. You want to kowtow to those division commanders and brothers who once took you to war and teach you how to be a qualified soldier! Because you forgot your roots!"
"Why did I forget my roots?! You guys make it clear!"
People these days are most afraid of labeling like this, which means that this person must have done the act of betraying his brothers and betraying his teacher. No one is willing to accept such a person, let alone pay attention to promotion. If Li Hongzhang believed Yang Hao, his future might end here!
The military officer rushed up vigorously, but it was difficult to shake the suppression of Yang Hao's arm at all. Only then did he suddenly realize that Yang Hao was not only tall and tall, but his strength was no less than that of ordinary martial arts practitioners.
This guy is not just a businessman, he is simply a master with all the talents of civil and military talents!
This scene also made the people around him secretly shocked. Even if the guy who was held down was not good, he was still a warrior. He had to fight every now and then every now and then. Otherwise, he would not even be able to ride a horse.
He looked like he had been fighting through life and death with Li Hongzhang. He was unable to be suppressed by Yang Hao with one hand. Hiss----, this is unusual!
However, Li Hongzhang was attracted by Yang Hao's words, and stroked his beard and watched from the side how he said it.
Yang Hao glanced at everyone and said loudly: "If an army wants to do what it means and obey orders, it must strictly require the discipline and obedience of each soldier. It is necessary to ensure that they do not escape in battle, always unite and face danger together. They must be required to develop teamwork on weekdays and always keep a sense of collective honor in their hearts."
"Correction of internal affairs is to implement the above ideas in daily walking, sitting and lying down, and every move. Strict and meticulous training makes them get used to it and eventually become an instinct that can be made without thinking. In this way, an army can dare to fight when encountering the enemy, not be afraid of danger, not be seriously injured, and be invincible!"
"You also came from operating old-fashioned smoothbore guns to fight. At that time, the enemy and us were shooting each other face to face in an arrow. If there was no such discipline, how could they face the storm-like guns, ammunition, and the moment when the bayonets fought? Relying on your authority and the supervisory team behind?"
In the era of "queuing and shooting", the troops of both sides beat the snare drums and lined up in a row face to face, with the distance between them within a hundred meters. When the fire was opened, the smoke filled the guns, and the cannons were blowing into a flesh-and-blood alley. The fatal thing is that the left and right backs are all their own people, and there is no place to hide, so they can only bite the bullet and fight for luck.
Only the army trained under the pressure can compete with the fanatical believers who were brainwashed by religion. Thinking about the Huai Army, when fighting, relied heavily on the maintenance of village relations, making it easier for the troops to join forces. In fact, what Yang Hao said was just a different form.
After hearing this, Hannagan praised sincerely: "Mr. Yang's words broke the difference between the old-style army and the modern army. One was passive obedience, and the object of obedience was only his commander. The other was consciously devoted to fighting for the country. The difference between the two determines the performance and victory on the battlefield."
A large group of officials suddenly realized that no wonder the troops in front of them were not bad, with a large number of people, but they could not even get enough to eat. No matter how they were, they were still in the modern army, but the Qing army remained in the state twenty years ago, and their training and fighting will have greatly decreased. It is reasonable to lose.
After Yang Hao finished speaking, he let go of his hand and let the other party kneel on the ground, turned around and clasped his fists at Li Hongzhang: "Master Zhongtang, Yang Hao is over the business, and he is abrupt."
Li Hongzhang's face was not ugly, and he nodded lightly while stroking his beard: "Your words are not wrong."
The military officer was stunned on the ground for a while, and didn't know if he really understood it. He climbed in front of Li Hongzhang with his hands and feet, and kowtowed three times in a row.
Li Hongzhang swept his sleeves: "Take off the official uniform and get out of the new army to be a sirens. When will I figure it out and see me again!"
The military officer cried bitterly, his head hit the ground and shouted loudly, "Thank you, Grandpa Fu!"
Yang Hao had to write a big word for surrender in his heart. Looking at the way Old Man Li paid the people's hearts down, he made a rebellious subordinate gratefully and devoted himself. By the way, he also stuffed it into the new army openly, and no one could say anything!
Although the whole process was very disappointing, Li Hongzhang still continued to inspect and review in an extremely calm manner.
At noon, he and a group of officials were having dinner in the military camp. When he saw the food of ordinary soldiers, they actually had white flour steamed buns and four dishes and one soup, he asked Yang Hao in surprise: "Do you give your soldiers this meal every day?"
The four dishes are ordinary cabbage, potatoes, eggplant, celery, mushrooms, etc., and there is nothing rare. But these dishes have one common feature, which contains meat and fatty meat that is very large!
Another soup is also a thick bone soup, and there are optional sea fish and canned meat.
Yang Hao nodded disregardly: "Yes, this is still going to war. Logistics transfer cannot keep up, so there are only a few tricks to make do. If training is hard in normal times, then you have to give them extra meals."
Seeing the soldiers holding three or more big steamed buns in their hands, Gujiguji's food was sweet, but none of them showed specialness. As expected, Li Hongzhang couldn't say a word that had been stroking his beard for a long time.
The officials accompanying him were different, and they whispered to each other: "Eat big fish and meat every meal, is this still the way they are a soldier?"
"It's so extravagant. Even the rich man in the countryside wouldn't dare to be so cruel. What's the point of spending money on Yang's money?"
"Hmph. If you eat like this, the soldiers will have to spoil it? Who will go up to fight in the future? I see, it's just a show of the scene for the man."
"Not all, look at these soldiers, one by one, is fat and strong. If it weren't for the whole day of fish supply, how could they be so strong? But this kind of consumption... I'm afraid that it would be exhausted!"
"Oh, it takes thousands of troops to fight, and a few thousand people can still raise such a way. In the future, it depends on how he deals with it."
Whispering, buzzing as if in the venue.
Li Hongzhang suddenly coughed and said in a man's voice: "Shut up and try the food of the Xinjun together."
The officials immediately stopped talking and brought a stainless steel plate. They lined up to the officer window and made a little meal according to their preferences. They didn't want much. One reason was that they looked down on the big pot of dishes for the big head soldiers at all. The other was that they clearly said, "The food on the plate must be eaten up and there is no left." They didn't want to suffer that.
Li Hongzhang loves to eat fish, so he made one special today, and it looks naturally not as delicate as his chef. It tastes pretty good.
This is equivalent to the prime minister of a country coming to understand the people's conditions. The officials and soldiers occupied a separate restaurant. They arranged them and started with a complete set of stainless steel tableware. After eating it, the officials were surprised to find that the taste was not as bad as they imagined!
A veteran Huai Army stuffed half a steamed bun in his mouth. After swallowing it, he sighed: "I remember when we were fighting the Taiping Army in Jiangnan. If there was such a stutter in front of the formation, the soldiers would not have to rush to death?"
"What I mean is that when you really have meat every time, even if you are a god in the sky, you will never think of it at that time. Oh, I won't talk about him."
They all suffered hardships and fought hard, and there was also a past that was unbearable to review.
Li Jingfang was next to Yang Hao and asked for a plate without any disgust. He decided to go deep into the grassroots like Yang Hao and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers in the future, so he set an example from now on.
After stuffing a few bites of food, he turned to Yang Hao and asked: "Sir, they are not a problem to treat the soldiers with such preferential treatment. But I don't know how to ensure that they can be promoted and equal to the future army? This cannot be solved by money."
In this era, meat, eggs, fish oil is not cheap, and it is still okay if it is less expensive. Large-scale purchases are not enough for a small county to support it. When the army goes out, there is no place to buy it temporarily at the local level.
Yang Hao took a sip of the broth, looked at the people who were pricking their ears and laughed and said, "Warning is about fighting logistics. The battle in front of the imperial army is not good, and there is no special logistics support. This is also the difference between modern army and the past. Although the Japanese army's logistics was primitive, it has been done for several years, and the mobilization ability and support efficiency are much higher."
He pointed out another problem, and the officials were not afraid of biting if they had too many lice, so they just said that.
Yang Hao continued: "We have been preparing for the training and logistics construction first. All the meat, eggs, vegetables and oil you see are provided on time with special breeding farms and planting sites. In the future, the disability caused by the troops' wars and the families of the casualties will be placed first in the farms and breeding farms of the direct army, and will receive wages and enjoy welfare benefits."
"I see!"
Li Jingfang suddenly realized, but the group of officials were frightened.
They could imagine that Yang Hao's idea was so thorough that the soldiers would have no worries in fighting, and they would not be afraid of their family members not being able to settle down when they died in battle. This is the worst policy of the Qing army that was currently implemented by the Qing army and had no money to get. It is both extremes.
If you persist like this, basically the larger the army, the more people it involves. Farmland, breeding, fishing, processing, etc. supplied by various military supplies are formed and grouped together, which is a small kingdom that no one can get involved!
Yang Hao had only 3,000 troops, so he could not pour water on the management of several prefectures and counties in Yizhou Prefecture. If each county had such a method, how many prefectures in the country were there? I am afraid that when he organized an army of 300,000, the whole world would not have to fight, so his surname would be Yang!
I was already feeling bored, but now I feel all over my mind. The officials are even more reluctant to eat it, and I don’t know how I stuffed the rice into my stomach.
However, many military officers were moved and thought. If they could join forces to do this, would those who served in the army be afraid of the civil servants' smuggling? Wherever the man beat him, they had no choice!
After dinner, Li Hongzhang brought the troops of officials back to Tianjin, preparing to come tomorrow to fight for the troops. As for how much shock and impact this time it will bring to the court, how many intrigues will be introduced in half a day and overnight, it is still unaware of the time being.
Li Jingfang lived in the military camp and seriously followed Yang Hao and Shi Jianfei to learn management and operation. He had a sincere attitude of not being ashamed to ask. He had read the puzzled part of the book before, so he asked if he should ask.
Yang Hao and Shi Jianfei did not hide it and explained it to him one by one.
When he returned to the US Concession office in the evening, Zhou Jianhao came in and reported: "Sir, two guests have been waiting for a long time. Do you have time to meet?"
Recently, there have been more people asking for a meeting. Yang Hao didn't care and asked casually: "Oh? Did they hand over the post?"
Zhou Jianhao shook his head: "Their identities are too sensitive and it is not convenient to implicate the gentleman. He just signed up for his name. He was named Sun Wen and Lu Haodong."
"Sun Wen? Sun Dapao?!"
Yang Hao was shocked and jumped up. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
