Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 186 Who doesn’t like it?
Artillery still needs to be operated by professional gunners. Lu Tang and the others were from the Ordnance Bureau and were proficient in operating these artillery pieces, so they were most suitable as gunners.

But the other three guards disagreed.

"How can that be done? It's all for you, what should we use?" Du Yuan objected on the spot.

"That's right, if you ask me, it's better to split it equally!"

"Yes, yes, it's best to split it equally!"

Zuo Wei, Yang Dayong and others also objected, and even the two newly promoted commanders, Tongzhi Gongxi and Shi Jin, couldn't help but agree.

Sharp weapons like cannons are directly related to their military achievements and the lives of their soldiers. Just like last time, hundreds of flying thunder cannons directly stunned the red cavalry. They didn't waste any time. They won this battle with little effort. Without those flying thunder cannons, even if they could win, they would suffer heavy casualties, and it would be impossible to achieve the miracle of zero deaths.

"Why not? Can you use this cannon for you? It's like a flying thunder cannon. It would be a waste to let you guys take it away!"

Sun Lei shouted at the top of his lungs that he wished he could replace all the guards with artillery. However, since the expansion of the Shenji Battalion, a lot of flying thunder cannons have been distributed, allowing him to "bomb his mother with artillery with the whole army" The idea was shattered. Now the Admiral has returned and finally brought new artillery. Now he has to take it down no matter what!

"If you say so, then I will agree to transfer Lu Tang and the others to our guard."

Song Zhong couldn't help but join in the fight.

"Not bad, he should be transferred to our guard..."

Others' eyes lit up after hearing this, and they immediately agreed. The scope of the competition also increased from the artillery to including the gunners.

Li Wei frowned slightly as he watched them noisy. He glanced around and saw that only Jiang Long was silent and looking thoughtful. Li Wei couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing!"

Li Wei raised his hand and pressed down, and the generals gradually became quiet, all looking at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

Li Wei did not directly say how to distribute, but turned his attention to Jiang Long: "Jiang Long, how do you think it should be distributed?"

Jiang Long was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that this was a test for him. He immediately straightened up and said seriously: "Sir, I think the artillery must be concentrated to exert its power. If it is distributed evenly, it may not be appropriate. This..."

Jiang Long first expressed his concerns, but in the end he did not provide a solution. After all, if most of the artillery were concentrated into one guard, no matter who it was given to, the other three guards would not be happy.

Li Wei saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he didn't care. He nodded slightly and said, "Jiang Long is right. Only when these cannons are concentrated can they maximize their firepower advantage. I want to build a firepower by myself outside the four guards." Most of the artillery units directly under the Artillery Unit will be concentrated in this unit. Of course, I will also allocate some artillery pieces to you, don’t worry about this!"

Li Wei had no intention of dividing these artillery pieces. Of course, the greatest firepower was in his own hands!

Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this, but after thinking about it for a moment, they felt that this arrangement was reasonable.

Jiang Long was moved after hearing this, and he agreed with his arrangement.

Song Zhong, Jianglong and others looked at each other and said in unison:
"It's up to the adults to decide!"

Seeing that they did not object, Li Wei was relieved.

Although he still has the final say in the Shenji Camp, it would be very difficult for him if all his subordinates objected.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

Although Song Zhong and others also wanted artillery, they themselves knew that if there were no good gunners, these artillery would be a waste for them, so it was not difficult to accept Li Wei's arrangement.

But that was not the case for Sun Lei. Seeing these cannons slip away from his eyes was as uncomfortable as marrying an older girl home but not letting him enter the bridal chamber.

After frowning for a moment, Sun Lei suddenly felt something in his heart. He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I would like to ask you to transfer me into this army. Please allow me!"

Li Wei was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Du Yuan next to him heard his request for transfer, and his eyes lit up. If Sun Lei was really transferred, the commanding position would be vacant, and then he would have a chance!

"Do you want to join this army?" Li Wei asked softly

"Yeah!" Sun Lei nodded heavily.

"Then you have to think clearly. The artillery force I established will not have too many people. At most, it will only be of the size of a thousand households. If you transfer it, I will only be able to give you an officer of a thousand households at most. You Are you willing too?" Li Wei said softly.

Now there are only a hundred new artillery pieces in total, and some will be distributed to other guards. The number of artillery pieces will not be too many in the initial stage. Each divine machine cannon can be operated by up to five people, and the more important divine cannon does not require more than ten people. people, so this artillery unit will not use too many people at the beginning. A thousand people will be enough in the early stage.

Sun Lei was stunned for a moment when he heard this and hesitated.

He is now the commander of the guards. If he goes to this artillery unit, it will be equivalent to being demoted several levels and returning to his original position.

Seeing his hesitation, Du Yuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, this artillery unit is directly under the admiral, can you be treated badly?"

Li Wei glanced at him and smiled, noncommittal.

He probably also saw Du Yuan's thoughts. He just wanted Sun Lei to leave quickly to make way for him. However, what he said was actually correct. Li Wei would not directly reduce Sun Lei to a thousand people. Huh, if the command of this artillery force is not on the same level as several of their commanders, it is not much different.

In fact, Li Wei originally wanted to promote Lu Tang directly, but Lu Tang had only been in Shenji Camp for a short time. If he came to command this artillery force, Li Wei would really only give him the position of Qianhu Officer. After all, Lu Tang had only been in the Shenji Camp for a short period of time, and he had only one hundred households. A commission for a thousand households was reasonable, but a direct commission to the commander level would be a bit excessive.

Sun Lei hesitated for a moment, then hardened his heart and said, "I do!"

"Oh why?"

Li Wei asked. Although Du Yuan comforted him, he did not say he agreed. This Sun Lei would rather be demoted than come to the artillery, which made him a little curious.

"Because I like cannons!"

Sun Lei replied without hesitation, how cool the cannon is. It roars and roars in battle, and its power is far more powerful than those flintlock guns.

Li Wei was slightly startled when he heard this. He twitched the corner of his mouth and secretly cursed in his heart. You don't have to say this. Who doesn't like it?

"Okay, now that you've decided, I'll transfer you to the artillery unit after I report it to His Majesty and adjust the organization."

"Thank you sir!"

Sun Lei smiled and thanked him roughly.

Du Yuan also expressed surprise: "Sir, who will take over the command of Sun Lei's guard?"

Li Wei glanced at him and chuckled: "Of course it's you."

Du Yuan was immediately overjoyed and couldn't hide it anymore: "Thank you for your promotion, sir. I will go through fire and water for you to repay your kindness..."

"Okay, okay, sit down."

Li Wei waved his hand impatiently.

In fact, it is reasonable to promote this position with Du Yuan. After all, they are all former Qianhu and participated in the war together. Although he is in charge of logistics, logistics is equally important. Because of this, he cannot be considered inferior to others.

After Du Yuan thanked him profusely, he sat down and looked around with satisfaction.

Look, when Mr. Li came, I was promoted immediately. I still have the most trust from Mr. Li!

Several other people ignored his gaze, only Sun Lei's current Wei Wei colleague Shi Jin congratulated him. After all, he was his future boss, so he had to give him face.

After solving the problem of artillery distribution, Li Wei talked about the adjustment of the establishment. Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to re-formulate the military system of the Shenji Battalion to adapt to the use of firearms. Li Wei had been putting off doing it for him. Now since Now that I'm back, I must do this sooner rather than later.

Zhu Yuanzhang, a bad old man, might be sent out to fight again if his brain breaks out one day. He'd better train the Shenji Battalion early to avoid rushing into it like last time.

After chatting with a few people for a while, Li Wei sent them out, and then sat alone in the camp, planning the re-division of the establishment.

In addition to the direct artillery that was to be reorganized, he also wanted to adjust the strength of the other four guards.

He plans to use the method of letting veterans lead new recruits, and disperse veterans who have participated in a war with firearms into these guards to lead other recruits, and some of them who perform well can be promoted to various low-level officers. This is also They deserve it.
