Chapter 98: The joy after drinking, the words after drinking
In order to adapt to firearms tactics, these newly formed troops will be organized into battalions, with each battalion having six hundred people, equipped with five rapid-fire Franchise machines, five sky-blasting cannons, and composed of one hundred spearmen and three hundred musketeers.
It consists of one hundred artillerymen, fifty bombardiers, and fifty baggage soldiers. This organization makes the battalion a unit that can fight independently, thereby realizing the change from a dense square formation to a small formation, and possessing the characteristics of modern firearms and skirmishers.
The nature of tactics.
The three battalions form a regiment, and a heavy artillery company is added, equipped with six six-pound guns and six Tianwei cannons; a cavalry company, a musket guard company, and an ammunition and baggage company; the whole regiment has a total of more than 2,500 people.
Well, the plan is very good, it has been researched very carefully, and the equipment is quite reasonable, but Zhu Yongxing cannot afford to equip too many troops. According to the weapons currently equipped in the army and the financial resources of the government, he can only start with the troops led by Ma Bao
Create a group first among the Guangxi team.
The rest of the fusiliers can only be distributed to various war zones, and trained officers can be dispatched to first form musketeers in companies or small flags. After actual combat drills, when they are expanded into battalions or regiments in the future, they will no longer be able to use them.
There will be a shortage of qualified soldiers.
This will be the first modern military unit to be formed that is different from the previous Ming army in terms of organization and tactics. Zhu Yongxing sent out almost all the officers who graduated from the martial arts hall in two semesters. Not only to control the army, but also to learn from actual combat and
After improving tactics, these people will be like seeds, taking root in various theaters and training battalions and regiments with the significance of modern coordinated operations.
In the future, the army will spend more money and require better logistical support, but the total number of personnel will be reduced. Regularization, professionalization, and elite military... The goals are very advanced, but they cannot be achieved overnight.
Sitting in the room, Zhu Yongxing inspected several pairs of trendy metal-framed sunglasses. He put them on and looked in the mirror from time to time, and glanced at the door opposite. Obviously, his attention was not all on these newly developed products.
superior.
Being able to blow glass, in addition to making mirrors, it is natural to launch other products. Even colored glass, if it is very pure, can be transformed into a high-end and elegant treasure. The key is ideas and innovation, and Zhu Yongxing obviously has no shortage of them.
This ability.
The door opened, and Long Er and a maid sent out an old man with gray hair and a boyish face. Looking at the smile, Zhu Yongxing stood up suddenly, forgetting to take off the sunglasses on his face, and rushed out.
"Old sir, how about this -" Zhu Yongxing held the old man's hand and smiled very ambiguously.
The old man was obviously frightened by Zhu Yongxing's appearance. He hesitated for a while and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness——"
"Haha, no courtesy." Zhu Yongxing held the old man's arm with one hand and took off his glasses with the other hand and handed them to Long Er.
"Congratulations, Your Highness." Long Er curled his lips, then bowed and saluted, and said crisply.
"Yes. Yes, congratulations to Your Highness. It's a great honor for me to be able to take the pulse of the Crown Princess..." The old man knew that he was lucky this time and smiled happily.
"Reward, big reward. Long'er will send Mr. home for me." Zhu Yongxing no longer had to listen anymore. After giving the instructions loudly, he turned around and ran into the room in three steps at a time.
Mengzhu was half-leaning on the bed, stroking her belly with no bulge in contentment. The discomfort of being happy was swept away, and she smiled at Zhu Yongxing and raised her eyebrows.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, but I will not get up to greet you."
"Haha, I forgive you." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand happily. He came to the bed and sat down in the place Mengzhu gave up. He put his arm around his shoulders and gently stroked Mengzhu's abdomen with the other hand, as if he was trying to feel a little
The restlessness of new life.
"It's best to be a boy." Mengzhu felt Zhu Yongxing's warmth and joy, and said quietly after a long while: "Be as heroic as His Highness and make everyone look up to you."
Zhu Yongxing kissed Mengzhu's cheek and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's a girl, she's as beautiful as you."
"First a boy, and then a girl." Mengzhu insisted a little stubbornly: "If His Highness has a new love, he will not look down upon the beauty of my body -"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Yongxing pulled Mengzhu's catkin, brought it to his mouth, took a bite, and said: "Don't just think about it. From now on, we will grow old together. Well, believe it or not, I can
Let your stomach be empty? For boys and girls, let him pick up Liu'er."
Giggles, Mengzhu smiled happily and buried her head in Zhu Yongxing's arms. After a while, she raised her head and said, "Long'er is very proud now. I can't stand the fatigue of a saddle horse, nor can I serve His Highness. Well, I heard that His Highness
We’re going out for a while, which beach?”
"It's Ha Long." Zhu Yongxing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't take her there, because the tan will kill her."
"What are you afraid of if you get a tan? Your Highness, do you dare to make a bet with me to see if she is willing to go?" Mengzhu raised her chin playfully.
Zhu Yongxing did not answer, but held up Mengzhu's chin with his fingers, lowered his head, and kissed her moist and fragrant red lips.

After leaving Chuxiong, walking along Shuangbai, and boarding a boat along the Yuanjiang River, King Li Dingguo of Jin came down the river with more than a dozen soldiers and his staff Gao Yinglei. It could be said that they were in a hurry.
The river water has swelled a lot due to the rainy season, and the number of ships on the river has also increased day by day. Due to the elimination of too many checkpoints and the adoption of a local tax filing system, the business in Yunnan Province, which has been less exploited, has begun to show signs of recovery. The ship that Jin King Li Dingguo boarded is this.
A businessman carries one of the cargo ships transporting realgar for export from Xiaguan.
Although King Li Dingguo of Jin Dynasty strictly ordered his subordinates not to reveal their identities, merchants were the best at observing faces and distinguishing between different people. They were treated very well on the ship and spoke respectfully.
That night, after the ships docked and anchored, the captain took a few men ashore to buy some food. After cooking, he warmly invited Li Dingguo and others to have a meal together. The wine was full of wine and the conversation was lively.
"After selling out the goods this time, I have to go to Mekong Province to have a look." After a few glasses of sweet potato wine, the ship owner's face turned red and his tongue became a little big. "If His Highness Min is in power in Yunnan Province, what will happen to this Qing Dynasty?"
I'm afraid it will be difficult for the army to fight back; if His Highness Min - well, this Mekong Province seems to be the foundation and the most stable for His Highness Min in the future."
"Is that what you think?" Gao Yinglei asked a little strangely: "His Royal Highness Min is sitting in Mengzi, how could-"
"It's not that I think so, but I heard others say it, and I think it makes sense." The captain shook his head sadly and said slowly: "When I was eating in Xiaguan, I heard a guy talking nonsense, saying that His Highness Min was deviant.
Chaotic changes to the national laws will inevitably lead to anger from heaven and people. When the emperor comes back from Burma, he will put an end to the chaos, regain control of the government, and rectify the national laws. Hehe, hehe."
Li Dingguo's eyes flashed, with a hint of anger. The more the officials made a fuss, the more disadvantageous it would be to him. Prince Min is forbearing now, but that doesn't mean it will always be like this. It seems that it is necessary to go there this time to avoid talking to Prince Min.
Random suspicions allowed the overall situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty to be stabilized.
"That's right. Your Highness Min still has to listen to the emperor in the end. It's really hard to say what will happen in the future." The captain took a sip of wine and continued: "Just like Grandpa Yue, no matter how capable and how great his achievements are, he will go straight to Huanglong.
, was not recalled by the Twelve Gold Medals, and died unjustly in Fengbo Pavilion. I think about it carefully——" The captain showed a proud look, as if to say, "Look how smart I am," "Your Highness Min
Who is he? He is capable of pinching and calculating, but how can he be so cowardly? Many of these areas are occupied by overseas Tibetan countries, and His Highness Min is leaving a way out and preparing to become king overseas!"
"It makes some sense, but it's not necessarily true." Gao Yinglei was vague and really didn't know what to say.
"Regardless of whether he is true or not, ordinary people should just accept it and follow His Highness Min to live a good life." The captain was drunk and said with emotion: "I think so too. If you work hard under His Highness Min, maybe you can get something done.
Noble title, you don’t have to bow to the official, but you will be rewarded during the New Year...Tsk, tsk, that’s a lot of scenery.”
"Master, you drank too much again, and you were tricked into talking nonsense." A woman quickly walked onto the boat along the gangplank, looking smart and capable. Before anyone arrived, she was already scolding her, "What is your identity, Your Highness Min?"
How can dignity be something that we, the common people, can discuss casually?"
"The government, didn't the government say that you won't sin with words?" The captain shrank his neck and defended in a low voice.
"This is what the government of His Highness Min said. What will be the regulations of the emperor's government in the future?" The woman said with a sullen face: "That's it, that's it. After this shipment, we will move and cultivate dozens of acres in Mekong Province.
Come on, live a peaceful life. There are risks in being a merchant by boat, and we can’t care about those who are fighting for power."
"I heard that the policies for reclamation in Sichuan are more favorable." Gao Yinglei interjected tentatively.
"Sichuan?" The captain stood up unsteadily, glanced at Gao Yinglei with a sneer, and said mockingly: "Then it depends on whether he can hold it. I have little knowledge, but I also know which adults are reliable and which adults care about the common people.
Good. He talks about the great righteousness of the court and the integrity of the monarch and his ministers. If you pay attention to these and can drive away the Qing army, then the sun will have to rise from the west."
"You still say that?" The woman pushed her husband and half-supported, half-pulled the boat owner away. She could only be heard complaining and scolding the half-drunk man.
The boat became quiet, and Li Dingguo was silent for a long time before he said with concern: "If Your Highness Min really intends to abandon the country and run away, he will not be concerned about the domestic war situation. I am afraid the situation will be repeated."
Gao Yinglei thought for a while and said uncertainly: "His Royal Highness Min mobilized troops to Sichuan, which is not like what Wu Xin did at home!"
"What about the future?" Li Dingguo said with undiminished worry: "The rumors are spreading among the people, which is really disturbing. Besides, the rumors are spreading, which is not conducive to immigrating to Shu."
"It is really contradictory to immigrate to Shu and develop overseas areas. I wonder why His Highness Min is like this?" Gao Yinglei complained with some dissatisfaction and suggested to Li Dingguo: "The prince should advise His Highness Min and suspend the expansion.
Overseas, we are fully committed to the overall situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty at home."
Li Dingguo had turned his head, looking at the rushing river water, and said "hmm" vaguely, and fell into deep thought.
