This Qing is wrong

Chapter 70 Crazy Plan

After finishing Hao Zhongcheng, Li Changqing looked at Yan Dingjun again, and said earnestly: "When I leave, all the burdens of the Qing army will be on your shoulders.

Don't let them do other time-wasting things for the expanded guard battalion. They are all the best young soldiers, just provide them with enough weapons and train hard.

We are short of horses here, so it is unrealistic to train the guard battalion into cavalry, but at least we must train in the direction of elite soldiers for three battles.

I hope that when I return, all the soldiers of the Guards Battalion will be able to fight with blunderbuss, long spears and waist knives proficiently.

It can be fought in formation or in melee.

If the Qing army besieges Chaoyang County before I come back, you can judge for yourself.

If you can hold it, you will defend it, if you can't hold it, leave the main force of the Qing army behind the Chaoyang County Palace, and leave with the personal guard battalion.

You have to remember that the Qing army is just a banner. As long as I am alive, no matter how many times the Qing army is destroyed, it will not really disappear.

But the soldiers of the Guards Battalion have been blessed by my secret method, and they are loyal to me and will never betray them. These people are our core team in the future against the Qing Dynasty, and we must do our best to keep them.

If I knew that Chaoyang County was besieged by the Qing army and I could get back, I would try my best to come back to help you. "

Yan Dingjun nodded heavily, and just like Hao Zhongcheng, he suddenly stood up straight, raised his head and saluted Li Changqing with a standard salute.

Li Changqing also had his reasons for making such an arrangement.

Because Li Changqing is well aware of his biggest flaw - he can't lead troops to fight!
That's right, although Li Changqing witnessed several battles with his own eyes, it was precisely because of this that Li Changqing clearly realized how big the gap was between the "Four Art of War" he was familiar with and real command operations.

Just the simplest one - when fighting in an formation, how much is the distance between each soldier, how far should the different arms be separated, how many layers should be in the array, and how far between the layers...

Li Changqing didn't know any of these hard data standards!
Because it involves factors such as physical strength, running speed, and psychological endurance during combat between different soldiers.

There are a lot of particularities in it, and the distances between different battlefields are different, and there is no way to apply a fixed template.

Just the right distance can not only prevent the different arms from interfering with each other, but also replenish them in time.

The green battalion veterans of the Qing army have done a good job. Under the command of military attaches at all levels, facing the onslaught of the system enemy army, they can always let the gunners shoot volleys to kill the enemy just right, and they can also attack the system enemy army. When coming up, complete the formation change between pikemen and blunderbusses.

If the blunderbuss soldiers were still entangled with the pikemen when the system enemy army rushed up, the entire phalanx would not have the ability to resist the system enemy force at all, and would definitely be crushed!

Now Li Changqing understands why in his previous life, the modern West fanatically advocated the tactic of queuing up and shooting.

This is not only because of the power of dense volleys of guns, but also because of the single simplified arms, which are easier to operate when commanding operations.

The infantry are all fusiliers. When fighting, everyone walks forward shoulder to shoulder, and then shoots in platoon. There is no need to consider the problem of changing formations between different arms.

In the history of Li Changqing's previous life, when he faced the armies of Western powers, he was repeatedly defeated in formations, because the formation of the Qing army was too complicated.

The tactics of nine advances and ten serials sounds very high-level, but it is easy to make the soldiers and military officers of the Qing army scramble when it is operated.

It would be fine if all the soldiers of the Qing army were fighters with faith, but the soldiers of the Qing army did not meet the standard of elite soldiers to undertake complex tactics.

The Western soldiers who landed at that time may not have much better individual quality than the Qing army, and their beliefs may not be so firm.

It is said that you can see God after death, but how many people are willing to see God?
Simple tactics not only make it easier for soldiers to change formations, but also make it easier for officers to command.

Looking at the tactics of the era of queuing and shooting, the arms can be simplified to only cavalry, artillery, and infantry!
The infantry is all musketeers, skirmishers and line infantry can be transformed into each other, the only difference is that one does not form an array and the other does not need to distinguish the arms.

With such a simple armament configuration, it is naturally very simple when fighting. The artillery bombards first, the infantry is then charged, and the cavalry is the last to finish or maneuver to harass or even raid during the period.

The formation of infantry is nothing more than two categories: horizontal formation and column formation.

This is the way to simplicity!

It is also the reason why Li Changqing has been committed to training the new soldiers in his hands in the direction of musketeers.

Since he couldn't command troops with a complex mix of hot and cold weapons, he simply trained according to the simple queuing and shooting of the troops of the era.

This is also the reason why Li Changqing didn't care about the main forces of the Qing army trained according to the Qing army model. After all, in Li Changqing's mind, these old-style troops would be eliminated sooner or later.

Li Changqing knew the secret that the enemy army he summoned was against him, and he couldn't keep it hidden forever. He wanted to expand the army as much as possible while the enemy didn't know him well enough!

After working out the details of the plan, Hao Zhongzhong went down to prepare the living supplies for the three of them to go on a long journey, and Zhang Jianfei continued to act as Li Changqing's personal bodyguard.

Li Changqing's mind control quota has been exhausted, and his sense of security has plummeted. Naturally, he has to resume the rhythm of life that is inseparable from his bodyguards.

It's not that Li Changqing doesn't want to find a middle-rank or even high-rank martial artist to control his mind, but that after reaching the middle-rank realm, a martial artist becomes a "rare animal" in the Jianghu, which is hard to see.

Even if it is the Zhenwusi of the Qing court, it will not put a few middle-grade martial arts in a province.

As for the high-grade warriors of the Zhenwu Division, according to Zhang Jianfei's complaint, all the high-quality warriors of the Zhenwu Division are concentrated in the important areas of the capital.

Just the news of a high-quality martial artist popping up in the rivers and lakes is all earth-shattering news.

The only information that Li Changqing knows about Zhongpin Wufu is the name of his immediate boss provided by Zhang Jianfei.

Zhang Jianfei's immediate boss was nominally the manager of the Wusi yamen in the five prefectures including Chaozhou. In fact, he had never been in the yamen of the Wusi towns in the local capitals, and had always lived in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province.

These mid-level warriors in the town's Wusi Yamen have no work pressure, and often choose to settle in more prosperous and safer capital cities, and the Qing court will not blame them.

The operation of Zhenwusi's yamen will be in charge of the low-ranking Wufu who is the internal affairs officer.

Only when the Wusi yamen of the local towns encountered difficulties that could not be solved would they notify those mid-level warriors who received high salaries all day long but did not do business.

Li Changqing stayed in Chaoyang County for another day, and used up all the training places for soldiers. After watching the training of the personal guard camp on track, he took Zhang Jianfei and Hao Zhongcheng to Chaozhou Prefecture on six horses.

This horse is naturally a trophy from the Qing army!
