Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2900 Seek from the top, get from the middle

  Tai Shici blushed.

   Not shame, but anger.

Tai Shici immediately pleaded guilty to Fei Qian, and then ran down the general platform angrily, while ordering people to catch the frightened horses while hopping, he ordered his subordinates to hold down those who made the horses accidentally escape. Before the battle, whip the whip.

  Not many, three lashes per person.

   There is nothing wrong with war horses being animals, but humans are not animals, and the responsibility cannot be shifted to instinct.

  War horses can be frightened and run away without thinking, but people cannot relax their vigilance on the battlefield and let their war horses collide with the formation and disrupt the formation.

  Among the army, it was originally the place that was the most unreasonable and could only talk about military law. Because when the profession of soldiers starts, what they face is the most unreasonable world, life or death.

  Animals cannot speak the law, but people must speak the law. It's not about excuses, it's about results.

  Military law is also a kind of law.

  Like soldiers, the affairs Fei Qian faced could not be excused, only the result. Yes is yes, no is no. If yes, why, and how to make it better, if not, where is the mistake, and how can it become yes. It's not that you can just shirk and give all kinds of excuses, and everything will be fine and easy.

  This is the case in the Western Regions, and so is the artillery.

  The craftsman stepped forward to check the condition of the cannon, measured the temperature and deformation of the cannon body, observed the gunpowder residue in the cannon, and the cleaning condition...

  Yes, the current artillery must be cleaned.

After firing five times in a row, the soldiers will poke a cloth stick soaked in water into the cannon, and then wipe out the gunpowder residue as much as possible, otherwise these carbides and sulfides due to incomplete combustion of the gunpowder will be destroyed. It will gradually affect the next gunpowder combustion, and eventually lead to uneven force inside the gun body, resulting in a result.

   Bomb blast.

   Yellow sand flying.

  Blue smoke lingers.

  The soldiers who measure the range of the shells are very busy, and the soldiers who rearrange new targets are also busy.

  The same is true for the artisans, arguing and calculating with each other, talking and gesticulating.

  The soldiers under the high platform are also busy, either whispering to each other, or comforting the big guy with long neck and long legs beside him.

  The only one who is still calm is Fei Qian on the high platform.

   Fei Qian pinched his beard, watched and thought.

  Tai Shici is now showing some anger beyond the usual value...

   This is a bit unusual.

  Fei Qian's gaze followed Tai Shici for a while, and he probably understood Tai Shici's thoughts in his heart.

  Tai Shici is relatively more inclined to generals, and his thoughts are relatively obvious.

  If it is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, what about when a soldier becomes a general?

  Tai Shici naturally also wanted to go further. Perhaps in Tai Shici's eyes, coming to the Western Regions this time means that he is likely to become the next chief protector.

   Indeed it is.

   Just…

   It's not that Fei Qian has any prejudice against Tai Shici, or that he is unwilling to give Tai Shici the position, but that Tai Shici doesn't seem to understand at the moment, what does it mean to be the Protector of the Western Regions?

  Before Tai Shici can understand the truth, giving Tai Shici this position at will will only make Tai Shici the next Lu Bu, instead of making new progress, new development, and new changes...

   Need to talk to him sometime.

  Since Feiqian has the opportunity to come here and come to Dahan, he cannot say that he should follow the old ideas, old methods, and old habits to do things. If everything is done in the old way, then what's the use of Fei Qian, a time traveler? Without Feiqian, the Three Kingdoms were ruled by warlords, fighting among each other. After having Feiqian, they would still be ruled by warlords, still fighting in melee?

  Fei Qian wants to become the hot and dirty woman who walks in the forefront of all the big men.

  This is the meaning of Feiqian itself.

  Every step you take is a new step for Huaxia!

   One more step forward is one more step in the expansion of China's territory!

   It's like the cannon in front of you, and it's also a new step, one more step, after Fei Qian came.

Judging from the five rapid-fire cannons, the bronze cannon is relatively more stable. After all, it has been developed and tested for a long time. The cannon is relatively consistent in terms of range and rate of fire, while the cast iron cannon is relatively stable. Relatively speaking, it is a little worse, but it is indeed only a little bit. Compared with the high price of the bronze cannon, the cast iron cannon is so little worse, it seems not unacceptable.

  As for the wrought iron cannon, because of its small size, short range, and less charge, it shoots faster. It’s just that the wrought iron cannon is a little embarrassing now. If the rate of fire can’t increase, it’s not as accurate as the ballista, and it’s not as convenient as the catapult...

  New technology, at the beginning, always lags behind the old technology, just like steam trains are not as fast as horse-drawn carriages at the beginning, and they are also less safe and convenient.

   But at the moment, Fei Qian can undoubtedly confirm that cast iron cannons will quickly replace bronze cannons, and wrought iron cannons must be developed again to counter the improvement of metallurgical forging technology, and when the accumulation reaches a certain level, it will switch to iron alloys. However, if ferroalloys want to develop, they must also pull materials science, basic physics and basic chemistry, and even some partial subjects, such as basic mineralogy, to climb up together.

  Under the stage, Tai Shici suppressed his anger, and once again stood in front of the battle formation, confessing with a serious face, asking his soldiers to control themselves, and also to control the big partners around them!

Tai Shici knew that this was a rehearsal before the battle, that is to say, if these soldiers and horses could not get used to the roar of artillery fire, they might not get used to it when they actually went to the battlefield, and even cause even worse effects. It can be solved with three whips.

  Tai Shici hasn't come out for a walk for a long time, he doesn't want to be sent back soon after going out to have fun!

Tai Shici rectified the formation and boosted morale. Every time he said a word, his private soldiers shouted, and then all the soldiers also shouted in unison. The voice overwhelmed the momentum.

  The military system needs to be reformed, not only for soldiers, but also for generals.

In the current general system of the Han Dynasty, the private soldiers actually play a very important role. They are not only powerful means on the battlefield, guarding the generals, weapons for breaking the formation, and first boarding troops, etc., but also liaison soldiers and messengers on the battlefield. , and the supervisory team, and even the training instructor under the battlefield, patrolling the military police...

The concentration of so many functions is indeed conducive to the convenience of the generals in commanding the troops, but at the same time it also leads to the overly large and complicated authority of the generals, so that the requirements for the position of generals are actually very high. The gap between upper and lower limits is really too big. Strong generals can use these things to the fullest, while weak generals can only drag down the three armies.

  Is this problem only now?

   No, otherwise, people would not often lament that the general is incompetent and exhausts the entire army.

   Then there is a problem, why don't you want to change it?

   This again involves vested interests.

  Besides, people are used to thinking that the previous people are not good, because the previous people are not very good, but let me do it. But when I took over, I was in a hurry and found that the reality was more skinny than I imagined.

  So, just like cutting local administrative power, the military power of the Han Dynasty also needs to be refined and cut.

  The refinement and division of military power requires professional soldiers, that is, people who regard military affairs as a job. There are some similarities between civil servants and soldiers, but there are some differences in subtleties, just like the tolerance of artillery shells. Maybe there is no problem at the beginning, but after using it too much, various problems will appear, and eventually the bomb will explode.

  Fei Qian promoted the professionalization of soldiers before, and now he has gradually accumulated a lot of serving and retired soldiers. Now, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Western Regions, he may not be able to take the step of climbing this technological route.

  The artillery roared again, this time it was not rapid fire, but the maximum charge to test the longest range.

   The bronze cannon took the lead again, while the cast iron cannon fell behind a lot.

  The craftsman said that the bronze cannon is more mature in craftsmanship and the inside of the cannon body is smoother, while the cast iron cannon is relatively inferior.

  Fei Qian can probably understand that the potholes and unevenness in the gun body that look the same to the naked eye will cause the forces generated by the gunpowder explosion to conflict and cancel each other, and cannot fully act on the shell. This may require the improvement and improvement of mold technology.

  Every technological development is a fork in the technology tree. If you go wrong, it will be crooked. Maybe there is a chance to correct it again, maybe there will be no second chance...

Just like the development of artillery in the history of China, when it developed from bronze to cast iron, the problems of these cast iron cannons were not followed up in time technically, but became a sharp weapon to suppress opponents politically, and a tool for personal gain. In the end, the Ming Dynasty lost the last chance to develop artillery, and handed over the money to Xiyang, allowing Xiyang to have more capital, more experiments, and greater technological development. In the end, in the Qing Dynasty, it was directly used by the West. The gate of the country was blasted open.

   This is not washing the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing Dynasty is indeed useless, and there is no need to wash it at all.

  After foreigners invaded China, they did not treat Chinese people as adults. This was the case in the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Look at Ah San again. Every time the natives were invaded, they were downgraded, and they have not been able to change until later generations.

   In fact, not only the nomads do not regard the Chinese people as human beings, but the children of the gentry in the Central Plains also do the same? It's just a little more concealed, and I won't talk about the two-legged sheep in front of my face, and cook it and eat it.

   Therefore, when Fei Qian saw on the Internet that some ordinary people openly expressed their admiration for those elder brothers and wanted to give birth to monkeys for a certain elder brother in order to publicize the Qing Dynasty, he thought it was incredible. Are these people naturally empathizing with capital and dancing with class? If the remnants of the original big braids are used to put oil on the braids and arrange flowers, then it is understandable. Why should a commoner pity the capital and sympathize with the former rulers? Based on what their ancestors ate and suffered?

Fei potential future generations have seen some people say that the Qing Dynasty made improvements in ten areas, such as land and territory, cultural development, agricultural technology, etc., or it is called contribution, or it is like the old man Shiquan who wiped out the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, if you think about it carefully Think, it's all nonsense.

  The territory itself is the most basic foundation of the country. If even the country cannot expand when it is strong, can it be used to add credit to the face? Didn't the Han Dynasty expand, didn't the Tang Dynasty expand? Why did it suddenly become the Qing Dynasty's contribution to the great unification?

  Agricultural population or something, that is because of sweet potatoes.

  As for the culture of the Qing Dynasty, it is a joke. How many old books were burned in the Siku Quanshu, and how many people were killed in the Literary Prison? Then it became a cultural heritage in the mouths of some people? Not only that, but some people said that the Qing Dynasty had made outstanding contributions to the military. They kept silent about the corruption of the Eight Banners, the incompetence of the Green Camp, and the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

  Even the people of later generations will be blinded by some short-term and one-sided stimulation in terms of ideology and public wisdom.

   So what about the big man?

  How difficult it is to let the people understand things and understand the truth!

  The army is relatively closed and the environment is simpler. Fei Qian is also doing it, but the same is not easy.

  The reform of the military system cannot be achieved overnight, and only by seeking knowledge from above can it be obtained from within. Whether it is a military ideological guidance commissioner or a military official, it is actually a double-edged sword, and it does not mean that if you pretend to be brainless, you will be able to play well.

  Fei Qian has considered this issue deeply before, and finally decided to implement it in a limited way, or even put it on hold temporarily, waiting for the change of the environment and the right opportunity.

  Fei Qian received a report from Dali Temple Minister Sima Yi, saying that a retired soldier committed a crime in the countryside, and asked Fei Qian for instructions on how to deal with it...

  The case is similarly simple.

   When the retired soldiers returned to their hometowns, they found that they were not returning home as they had imagined, but were still under the oppression of the squires. In addition, this **** is relatively honest, and all kinds of people think he is easy to bully. At the beginning, this **** still insisted on taking a step back for a while, but he didn't expect that the more he backed down, the more others thought him good. Bully.

  Finally, the contradictions accumulated to a certain extent, and the honest man broke out.

  The killing skills learned in the military are not for nothing. Once you see blood, you can't hold back...

   And it's not just this case.

The matter reported by Sima Yi is already very late, and he even took a relatively "safe" case as much as possible to ask for instructions. God of War at home recharges his wife and daughter for business...

  Anyone who is a little clearer knows what the title God of War means.

  When people all over China are laughing and joking about the "God of War" and playing pornographic accents, how can those soldiers who strive hard for the goal of "God of War" deal with themselves?

   Is this really entertaining the masses?

  Fei Qian thought for a long time, and finally issued an order to implement according to the law, to be impartial, and to maintain the most basic root of social order.

  Beyond the law, give the family of this veteran a certain amount of care.

   This is not just a matter of killing the murderer, but more importantly, it reflects the problems of class contradictions, military and social differences. At this stage, Fei Qian can only advance gradually like promoting the improvement of artillery, instead of directly using some things from later generations.

   What's more, some systems of later generations may not be the best, such as the government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, the military households in the Ming Dynasty, and so on.

Imagine that in the army, if Feiqian followed the rigid implementation of ideological guidance and strengthening in the later generations, even if these soldiers could really understand what is faith, what is hope, what is the future, what is the country and the nation, and then they will also gain Stronger support and fighting power, but then what?

  When these soldiers returned home...

  In the army, I said that setting up a stall can make a lot of money, but I was smashed in less than three days after setting up a stall in my hometown.

  In the army, it is said that hard work can lead to success. When I arrived in my hometown, I found that hard work can only provide food and clothing, while those who don’t work are riding horses, collecting rent, and enjoying boundless enjoyment.

  In the army, I said that there is hope and sunshine and good days are coming. When I arrived in my hometown, I found that not only are there no one to care about, there is no hope, there is no so-called good life, but there are many kinds of guys who want to ride and step on me.

  So under such circumstances, what will happen to these veterans in the military who know what faith is, what is hope, what is the future, and what is the country and nation? What will you choose to do?

  One, two, three, then one year, two years, three years...

   Then, if Fei Qian still preaches in the army what is hope, what is the future, what is the country and the nation, will anyone still believe it? At that time, what should we do if we encounter a national crisis in that state?

The reason why this set of models worked well at a certain stage in later generations was simply because the environment at that time could cooperate with each other. The military was the first, and the future would come only if it could win. But now Fiji has potential It means that the whole country is all soldiers, and they put everything down to win the victory? Even if it is possible to do so, what about after winning the victory? Therefore, unless Fei Qian wants to implement the military government system in the whole Han Dynasty, implement the strategy of ruling the area, and can't make any changes, otherwise...

  Everyone is staring at the successful flower, thinking that the blooming of the flower is so amazing, but they don't know that the root stem at the bottom of the flower is soaked with blood and tears.

   Therefore, when it comes to dealing with the military system, Fei Qian can still only seek what is above, and only then can he get what is in the middle.

  The soldier system is the same, and the general system is also the same. It fits the current productivity and production technology, combined with the environment, it not only releases part of the authority, but also takes back part of the responsibilities, and it cannot become a fixed "law of the ancestors".

  The old way is not suitable, so improve it, or even update it.

After the incident in the Western Regions became chaotic, some people foolishly clamored to push forward, jingling and banging, rumbling and bombing, and then rattled those who should surrender, and those who should be beheaded. Just feel happy and feel very comfortable.

   But then what?

  Will there be any changes to the Western Region system?

If Fei Qian really followed these people's ideas to fight the Western Regions, then it would be just a new reincarnation, and a new general guard, or Jiedushi, would be called a warlord in later generations. What would it do to Huaxia? gain?

  Tai Shici can be the next Protector of the Western Regions, but he cannot simply become the next Protector of the Western Regions.

  On the Gobi Desert, the artillery roared and the smoke filled the air.

  The sound was still echoing in the distance of Yumen Pass.

   A group of people stopped and looked, this may be another battlefield, maybe there is no real gunpowder smoke, but it is equally dangerous...
