Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty - Vol 2 Chapter 2115

Chapter 2174 Rub meat, signal soldier!

Li Zexuan still respects Duan Zhixuan.

Regardless of the rank relationship, Duan Zhixuan led the Xuan Jia army to fight with Li Ernan in the Northern War and defeated the King of the Eighteenth Route. Later, he fought against the Turkic wolf riders many times. Among them, I don’t know how many times they have created miracles of winning more with less. It also made a worldly feat for the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the world’s Chengping. Based on this alone, Duan Zhixuan and some veterans in the Xuan Jia army are worthy of Li Zexuan’s respect!

It is the same reason that he respects Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others.

In addition, after being in the Xuanjia Army for so long, Li Zexuan has basically figured out the doorway (factional relationship) in it. Although he hates forming cliques, although he came to the barracks to do a real career, he does not provoke him. Others do not mean that others will not provoke him, such as Qiu Xinggong. Qiu Xinggong is an old man in the Xuanjia Army, and in terms of qualification ranking, he is not much different from Duan Zhixuan. He, Li Zexuan, a newcomer who has just entered the Xuanjia Army, would definitely not be able to face it head-on with Qiu Xinggong.

Fortunately, Duan Zhixuan has always been on his side, and whether in the open or in the dark, Duan Zhixuan did not know how much trouble he helped him, so from this point, Li Zexuan was still grateful to Duan Zhixuan.

He is not good at faction struggle. Fortunately, with the old section “covered”, he can spend most of his energy on studying how to train and how to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

Although he is a traverser, Li Zexuan was still a high-achieving student who had received nearly two decades of modern education (elementary school plus preschool for seven years, junior high school three years, high school three years, undergraduate four years, and graduate students three years. Isn’t it more than 20 years, compared to the ten years of hard work that the ancient scholars said, modern students have actually experienced no less than the ancient scholars), but he has not served as a soldier, let alone a leader. This is the first time for a military officer to train soldiers. He is crossing the river by feeling the stones, so he needs a lot of time to research and experiment.

Fortunately, at the military level, he has the guidance of the Great Tang Army God Li Jing on the theoretical level; and on the practical level, now has the Xuanjia army general Duan Zhixuan personally check it out. It is based on this that Li Zexuan has the confidence to serve as the Xuanjia Join the army, and promote and improve his new style of exercises!

“General, haven’t the reward rules for the fighting competition been set before? The top five teams, the members of their team can get seven days of unlimited meat supply, the first place in the fighting competition, all the soldiers in their camp, You can enjoy a one-day unlimited supply of meat, and the members of the team they are in will remember the third-class merit once!

The second team of E-battalion won the first place in the fighting competition. All the soldiers of E-battalion should enjoy the treatment of an unlimited supply of meat for one day. The next thing is to ask the quartermaster for forty pigs, but as long as the soldiers are If you can eat these forty live pigs without wasting, then there is no violation of military regulations, and no one can blame it! ”

Li Zexuan led Duan Zhixuan to a shed to the west of the house. It was a hot day, and it was somewhat cooler under the shed. He sat on a simple bench with Duan Zhixuan and then spoke.

A battalion eats forty pigs per meal, this sounds a bit too much at first glance, but all this is in line with the rules and is not a violation of military regulations, so even if Qiu Xinggong is dissatisfied with it, Li Zexuan is not worth it.

Duan Zhixuan nodded when he heard this, and said, “This is indeed the truth, but Xinggong told the old man earlier that if the Wu character battalion took the bad head, in the future fighting competitions, if the other battalions won first place, it must be. There will be a way to learn that a meal will only consume more pork than you do now, but not less. If things go on like this, the monthly depletion of our Xuan Jia army’s military supplies will probably make some officials in the DPRK criticize!”

This is the main reason Duan Zhixuan came to Li Zexuan.

If it was simply Qiu Xinggong’s complaint, Duan Zhixuan would not take it to heart, let alone come here in person, because Li Zexuan’s actions did not violate the military regulations, and no one could pick out a thorn, but Qiu Xinggong has one sentence. Speaking of the point, it is that the munitions consumption of the Xuan Jia army will increase in the long run, especially the consumption of meat.

Among the major battalion guards in the capital, the Xuanjia Army, as the trump card heavy cavalry of the Tang Empire, has always been the best among all the battalion guards, whether they eat, drink, wear, or use. The monthly expenditure of the Xuanjia Army’s military supplies, placed among other battalions and guards, is enough to meet the consumption of three or four thousand soldiers in other battalions!

In this case, if the military consumption of the Xuanjia Army is increased, it may indeed cause dissatisfaction among some people in the court!

“General!”

At this moment, Sun Zhiping walked in with a large bowl of steaming meat in his hand. He first nodded to Li Zexuan, and then arched his body to Duan Zhixuan, which was regarded as a salute.

Li Zexuan hurriedly got up and said: “The general is coming at this time, and he will definitely have time to eat in the future. It just happens to be a rare feast in the Wuzi camp today. It is better for the general to eat here. Let’s talk while eating!”

Duan Zhixuan did not have lunch before he came here, because Qiu Xinggong happened to be looking for him when he was about to eat, and when he finished sending Qiu Xinggong, he came directly to Wuziying and looked at Sun Zhiping’s hands. Qiu Xinggong turned his head to look at Li Zexuan with the big bowl of meat he was holding, jokingly:

“Haha! It seems that the old man came here to eat the meat!”

Li Zexuan hurriedly said, “What did the general say? You, as the commander of the first army, came to inspect the Wu Zi camp. Just in time for the meal, you stayed here and had a casual meal. It’s a normal thing, how can you? Say it’s eating meat?”

Sun Zhiping also hurriedly echoed: “Exactly! General, you can eat!”

“Haha! Good! That old man is also in the light of the soldiers in the Wuzi camp today, and a good meal!”

Duan Zhixuan smiled, and without politeness, he directly reached out to take over the rice bowl in Sun Zhiping’s hand, and said with a smile.

In other words, since the Xuanjia Army closed the training camp, Duan Zhixuan has almost always stayed in the barracks, except for a few times when he went to the palace to find Li Er because of things. It’s an improvement in food!

“The general’s previous worry is actually not unreasonable!”

Li Zexuan saw Duan Zhixuan pick up the bowl and start to eat meat. He said at this moment: “However, the final general is that three days ago, the general was worried about this, but now, the general does not need to be so worried. !”

“Oh? Why did Li Canjun say this?”

Duan Zhixuan raised his head and asked while eating the meat.

In fact, the food in the Wu-shaped camp was much better than other camps. He came over for a meal today, and it was not a loss.

Li Zexuan smiled and said: “Three days ago, the court was still worrying about the food and grass of the army of the Northern Expedition. On the big locust, your majesty is sympathetic to the people, and has reduced taxes in many places. As a result, the household department can become more and more stretched!

But three days ago, the fundraising conference held in Lantian County raised a total of 428,500 guns for the imperial court. With this money, the imperial court will be able to expedition to the north. I guess no one will care about it! Believe that the saint will not be so stingy!

Moreover, the fighting contest of the Xuan Jia Army is held every seven days, and it is almost four times a month when it is full. Even if a battalion eats forty pigs at one meal, the Xuan Jia Army will consume more than 300 pigs in one month. ! The imperial court is now preparing for the Northern Expedition, and with the more than 400,000 guns raised in the fundraising meeting, the Ministry of Defense will definitely not be short of money! ”

Duan Zhixuan couldn’t help being slightly surprised when he heard the words: “The fundraising meeting? This Rao Shizi fundraising meeting actually raised so much money for the court? How is this possible?”

In the past half month, Duan Zhixuan has almost lived in the barracks. Although he went to the barracks twice to report to Li Er in the palace, he went straight back to the barracks when he came out of the palace. He did not spend much time outside. Long, naturally I don’t know the specific situation of the fundraising conference.

Li Zexuan smiled and replied: “Three days ago, the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce held a fundraising meeting in Lantian County. Not only the wealthy and gentry near Chang’an City, the seven great families, oh no, the five great families and the princes of the Manchus also secretly participated in this. In this fundraising meeting, with the financial resources of these people, it was not difficult to raise more than 400,000 coins!”

Duan Zhixuan couldn’t help but wonder: “Li Canjun is in the barracks, but the news is so clear, I admire him!”

He knew that Li Zexuan had never left the barracks since he entered the barracks, but Li Zexuan knew much more from the outside world than he did. Even Li Zexuan knew the news that Li Tai was abducted by the Turks in Taiyuan City. This made Duan Zhixuan know. Have to admire.

Li Zexuan said lightly: “When the telegraph relay station in the north is completed, each battalion will be equipped with a telegraph machine. By then, some soldiers in the Xuanjia army may choose to learn how to use the telegraph machine, and they will be in charge of the telegraph machine. , I call them communication soldiers.

With the communicator and telegraph, we will attack the grassland in the future. No matter where we are, we can receive news and orders from Chang’an and the Chinese army camp at any time. At that time, the general will be as well informed as the end general! ”

Duan Zhixuan was very interested in this. He swallowed the meat in his mouth, and then solemnly said to Li Zexuan: “Okay! This telegraph machine is definitely a good thing for people who are marching and fighting! You must know that the battlefield situation is changing rapidly. If a soldier can know the situation and intelligence everywhere on the battlefield at any time, he can make correct and appropriate tactical arrangements at the first time, and he can completely lead the enemy’s nose to fight and **** him!”

Li Zexuan nodded and said: “Exactly!”

This was also the main reason why he wanted to establish a telegraph relay station in the north.

Duan Zhixuan continued: “Li Cengjun, our Xuanjia army can’t wait until the telegraph relay station is built before preparing for the telegraph you mentioned. What the old man thinks is that you will pick up some good seedlings from the battalions in the past few days, and then You can teach them how to use the telegraph! You may not know that there are many illiterate bosses in the barracks. If you want them to learn to use the telegraph, it would be impossible without a month or two!

In the Northern War, the Xuanjia Army, as the only heavy cavalry in His Majesty’s hand, may be sent to the north to be the vanguard in advance, so we have to prepare ahead of time for this communication soldier! ”

Duan Zhixuan is also a man who has experienced hundreds of battles. He understands more than Li Zexuan the important role of the telegraph, which can transmit messages over long distances in an instant, for the army. When he and Li Ernan fought in the Northern War, he did not eat less “information”. “Asymmetric” losses, for example, sometimes receive news that there is a small army in the south, but when they receive the news and lead their troops to encircle, the enemy will have gone far!

Therefore, Duan Zhixuan is more urgent than Li Zexuan to prepare for the establishment of a signal soldier!

If this process goes smoothly, the Xuanjia Army will become the first army in Datang to have a communicator and also the first army to have informationized combat capabilities!

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, and said: “What the general said is not unreasonable. In this way, after the big comparison between the W-character battalion and the B-character battalion, the end general will begin to plan for the correspondent!”

Duan Zhixuan’s eyes flashed when he heard the words, and after a moment he nodded and said: “That’s also good! Then wait for the big comparison between Wuziying and Yiziying!”

In fact, there are some careful thoughts of Duan Zhixuan. Two days later, there is a big comparison between the E-character battalion and the B-character battalion. ?

Qiu Xinggong’s short-sightedness only saw his own interests, so he saw Li Zexuan not pleasing to his eyes, and he did not deal with Li Zexuan everywhere, but Duan Zhixuan is not such a short-sighted person, he can see the great value of Li Zexuan, although Li Zexuan is the head I joined the army once, but the new style of tactics, even a man who has been a soldier for more than ten years, could not help but shine, not to mention that Li Zexuan was able to form a communications squad for the Xuanjia Army!

Such talents must stay in the Xuanjia Army!

Duan Zhixuan said with emotion in his heart.

“The last general will lead!”

Li Zexuan hugged his fist, saying ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although he didn’t know Duan Zhixuan’s little abacus, he could feel the kindness released by Duan Zhixuan.

Duan Zhixuan put down the meat bowl in his hand and stood up and said, “Okay! I have eaten this meat, and the matter is clear. The old man will not stay here any more! I hope that after the next fighting competition, the old man can come to Wu Zi camp. Eat it!”

It took such a short while, Duan Zhixuan finished eating a large bowl of meat. The men in the army were so bold, all of them could eat meat and drink from a large bowl without any pretentiousness. As for Duan Zhixuan’s last talk about the meal, of course it was a joke, but Duan Zhixuan hopes that the Wu Zi Camp will win the first place in the next fighting competition!

“Hey! General Cheng’s auspicious words! Well, the general won’t have a bowl again?”

Li Zexuan smiled, half joking.

“Ahem! Nothing, no more! The old man still has some military affairs to deal with, so let’s go one step ahead!”

Duan Zhixuan’s mouth twitched, and he waved his hand quickly.

Just kidding, another bowl? If he had another bowl, wouldn’t he really come over and eat it? Is he a shameless general of the Xuanjia Army?
