Datang all-rounder

Chapter 169

In order to avoid the female generals at home asking him to make delicious snacks all day long, Wang Ke decided to go out and wander around. In his opinion, as long as he doesn’t have to hang around in front of their eyes all the time, at least it will reduce the amount of food. With this possibility, as long as there is something to do, this kind of day will definitely end.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that Wang Ke was going out, they all pursed their lips so that they could hang a soy sauce bottle.The meaning was obvious, they just didn't want Wang Ke to leave, but wanted him to stay at home every day and cook for them.

Wang Ke quickly explained with a smile: "Look, I haven't been to various departments for such a long time, and the emperor was considerate of us and didn't rush me to go. We should be conscious. If others have something to say, then Wouldn't it be bad?"

Thanks to Nanping being sensible, when he heard what Wang Ke said, he helped Wang Ke persuade Lanling and Dongyue to let Wang Ke get away.

Wang Ke walked forward all the way, and he didn't know where he should go. Anyway, what he thought was, he would go in for a stroll whenever he encountered something, do something if he had something to do, and go to the next place if he had nothing to do.Anyway, he can take care of everything now, and don't care about anything. Others still have nothing to do with him, because his current title is Assistant to the Emperor, and everyone he sees is a senior official, which is very powerful!
After walking through several departments, Wang Ke didn't encounter anything to do, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If it was like this everywhere, he would have to go home and stay.If that was the case, Wang Ke knew that what was waiting for him would be nothing more than racking his brains to make something to satisfy the three wives at home.

Wang Ke's heart began to be a little bit drummed, but there was nothing to do and there was nothing to do. We couldn't let others find trouble for nothing.Wang Ke had no choice but to keep going until he came to Li Jing.

Walking into Li Jing's office, Wang Ke felt that the atmosphere was not right. Several veterans were sitting here, all of them had unkind expressions on their faces.

Wang Ke saw that these people were silent, and that he was no longer enthusiastic about coming in. He guessed that these old killers were arguing about something just now, so he said haha: "Why is it such a coincidence today? Uncles are all here, and it saves my nephew from going to visit Ai from room to room."

As he said that, he just bowed in a circle, which was regarded as a salute to several old killers.

At this moment, Cheng Zhijie said to Wang Ke angrily: "The boy from the Wang family came just in time, tell me, let's see who of us is right!"

Wang Ke sat down on a chair by himself, and said with a smile: "What can my nephew say? My nephew has just arrived, and I don't know what the uncles are talking about. Besides, which uncle is better than my nephew? I have fought more battles than my nephew has ever heard of, so what can my nephew say!"

Hearing what Wang Ke said, Li Jing said, "We're not talking about war. Isn't this a batch of artillery from the Third Highness's place? Your uncle Chai and this old man Cheng came to find the old man and you Li Uncle discussed how to equip it. According to the old man's opinion, a professional artillery unit should be established in each team so that the lethality of this team can be better used in battle."

When Li Jing said this, he glanced at Cheng Zhijie with dissatisfaction and said: "Who knows that this old man said that all these artillery should be gathered together and form a separate team, otherwise it will not be able to play its role! But he didn't even think about it. He said to do it this way, if there is a war, how should the team be commanded and who will be in command! Just like that, a quarrel started. Calling your Uncle Yuchi and Uncle Qin also have their own reasons, and so far there has been no Come up with a unified opinion."

Wang Ke didn't express his thoughts immediately after hearing this, but asked Chai Shao, "Excuse me, Uncle Chai, how many cannons did His Highness send over this time?"

Chai Shao looked at the list in his hand and said, "There are [-] small artillery pieces and [-] large artillery pieces."

Wang Ke was stunned.The mortar itself knew that it could be manufactured a long time ago. What I didn't expect was that Li Ke could even manufacture large-caliber artillery now, and this one made [-] pieces. It seems that the craftsmen at Li Ke are now The skill has been improved.

Seeing that Wang Ke didn't speak, Cheng Zhijie yelled to himself: "It's what it is. If it's just this little thing, if it's distributed, how much each team can get, it's not enough to fill the gap between the teeth, and it might be a battalion of people." If you can only get one or two cannons, what effect will that have?"

As soon as Li Jing heard Cheng Zhijie's words, he immediately retorted: "You old man, I've already told you, you can't divide it according to what you said, of course it will be less if you divide it like this, how can this work."

Cheng Zhijie was very excited, stood up and said loudly: "Then you said how to divide, and you can't come up with a certain number, what should we do for our equipment department?"

Wang Ke frowned unconsciously, he knew that it would be fruitless to continue talking like this.Maybe the gang of veterans will quarrel again, and maybe in the end, they will compete with each other and listen to whoever has the best fists.

Wang Ke coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, everyone is thinking about our Tang army, there is no need to do this. Let my nephew say a few words, uncles, what do you think?"

Cheng Zhi sat down angrily, pointed at Wang Ke and said, "Okay! I'll just listen to you and see what you can say."

Wang Ke didn't pay attention to Mr. Cheng Shacai, and he didn't dare to pay attention to it. If he talked to him now, he would be the one who suffered in the end. Wang Ke knew this very well.

Wang Ke said slowly: "As for the issue of how to assign the artillery, my nephew doesn't think it is the most urgent issue. As long as the size and organizational system of the team are determined first, this issue will naturally be solved."

When Wang Ke said this, Li Jing interjected, "Isn't the current system right?"

Wang Ke shook his head and said: "My nephew is not saying that the current organizational system is wrong, but that the current organizational system is no longer suitable for the needs of our Datang army. There was no problem when we used knives and guns before, but now we have Start using firearms, as well as grenades, landmines and other extremely lethal weapons. In the future, it is possible to manufacture shooting firearms for individual soldiers. In this way, the previous organizational system is not suitable. We should think further, We can't wait for new weapons to come out before thinking about how to change them. There will be no development. We'd better be able to do it in one step and wait for the weapons to be manufactured and distributed to everyone, rather than waiting for weapons Come out and adapt to the needs of weapons!"

As soon as Wang Ke said this, the faces of all the veterans in the room changed immediately.They did not expect that Wang Ke actually had the idea of ​​making shooting firearms for individual soldiers.

For them, the artillery they saw had already shocked them. If there were firearms used by individual soldiers again, what would happen to the entire Tang Dynasty army? They really couldn't imagine it!

Wang Ke knew that what he said would surprise them, so he ignored it, and continued: "In the memorial that my nephew gave to the emperor before, my nephew wrote about the military system as long as I remembered it. It's just that all the firearms at that time None of them came out, so I didn’t rush to do this thing. Now this matter is imminent, so we should sort out this problem first before we can do anything else.”

Hearing what Wang Ke said, Li stood up, walked to the cabinet where the materials were stored, opened the cabinet, found the memorial written by Wang Ke, and handed it to Li Jing.

Li Jing opened it and looked it over carefully before he said: "Yes, it was mentioned in it, and now I don't read it anymore, let my nephew take into account the current situation and consider the problems that will arise in the future, and explain it in detail together. Come out."

Wang Ke nodded and said: "My nephew's idea is somewhat the same as the current organizational system, but there are also some differences. Specifically, my nephew's idea is this: according to the army, division, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, squad The sequence of the squad is rearranged. Each squad is still organized according to the current Shi Shi. Now each Shi has eight soldiers and a Shi leader, but the squad needs to have one more deputy squad leader. This can also share some of the duties of the squad leader. When going to kill the enemy, once The squad leader is sacrificed, and the deputy squad leader will lead, and he will not mess up because the dragons have no leader."

Hearing this, several veteran killers nodded.

Li Jing asked: "Then who are the squad leader and deputy squad leader? Are they also officers?"

Wang Ke shook his head: "No, these two positions can be held by soldiers with the rank of sergeant. When they have made great achievements and need to promote officers, they can be promoted from these people who serve as squad leaders and deputy squad leaders. Part of it will be served by students who have achieved academic success in specialized military schools. This will also give soldiers an upward motivation and be able to kill the enemy more bravely on the battlefield!"

Wang Ke's explanation shocked these veterans again.

They couldn't figure out where these weird ideas came from Wang Ke's mind, but they were so useful.Everything seems to be said casually, but it feels like it has been carefully thought out.

In fact, what Wang Ke has said and what has not been said are all known when he stayed in the army of later generations.These things are very simple things for him. He doesn't need to think about them at all, and he doesn't need to study them.

Wang Ke shook his hand and said, "Let's put the matter of the military school aside for now, and let's talk about it after clarifying the army's organizational system. At that time, we have to ask all the uncles to work together."

The veterans only heard Wang Ke talking about the establishment of the army, and they were very excited. Seeing Wang Ke talking about the military school again, they felt a little anxious.

Cheng Zhijie said even more impatiently: "Let's not talk about the military school, just follow up with what you just said."

Wang Ke smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Every three squads form a platoon, the platoon leader is a second lieutenant or lieutenant, and the deputy platoon leader of each platoon is a sergeant who has just been promoted or just graduated from a military school. This will also allow them to learn how to lead troops, so that they can better exercise their power when they lead a platoon alone in the future."

Hearing this, Li Jing couldn't help but nodded and said: "This is not bad, the connection is tight, and it will allow newcomers to learn a lot of skills in leading troops. It's a good way!"
