Listening to Shi Quanbin talking about the general trend of the world and the current situation in the court, the generals listened with relish. These were not known to them. The military camp was very closed and the news was very closed. Even if there was a railway, it was still very far away.

Shisanlang said to Yao Shouxin beside him: "I didn't expect that there would be so many big things in the world. The Nong Zhigao Rebellion was nothing. We were young, and in a few years, we might encounter the fight against the Khitan and Dangxiang. That was the time for a good man to make achievements!"

Yao Shouxin shook his head slightly: "We are just generals in the wing army, what do we want to do."

Shisanlang was brought out by Du Zhongxiao. He had been to Hedong Road and had fought with the Khitan, but he didn't think so. Now the court regards going south to Pingnong Zhigao as such a great thing. But what Shi Quanbin said, in the eyes of the court, the Khitan and Dangxiang are the real enemies.

After talking about the general trend, Shi Quanbin talked about some things in the court. These topics involved too much. Shi Quanbin talked very roughly. He was not a person who was very familiar with the government, so he could not help but be confused. The further he got to the back, the more he became, the more he became less interested and was a little drowsy.

Seeing the human emotions, Shi Quanbin stopped talking. Just as the wine and meat came up, they ate meat and drank together, and drank wine and drank.

In the next few days, Shi Quanbin was in the artillery barracks, carefully watching how artillery was trained and built. The more he looked, the more he felt that this was not simple. Artillery was trained in military conduct and discipline like other troops, and his professional knowledge was all based on learning. This kind of learning is not fighting, killing, as long as the soldiers obey orders under the stick, and they could obey orders on the battlefield, and be able to assassinate and kill. To be a good artillery, the content learned is very wide. Compared with this era, mathematics must be good, and the gunners can also calculate ballistics. Except for a very small number, almost all soldiers are literate and have a lot of records on the table, which is not well done by ordinary people.

The imperial guards and the wing army have always had a system of elimination. It is easy for them to choose people with qualified health, but it is difficult to use artillery technical troops. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even many commanders are not qualified and cannot meet the basic requirements of artillery. The more they look at Shi Quanbin, the more they feel, compared with the imperial guards, the more they use artillery so well, it is not impossible to use the artillery artillery so well. No wonder many of the imperial guards reject new firearms. What should they do if they promote them?

Five days later, Shi Quanbin left the artillery camp and returned to Du Zhongxiao's yamen.

After the guest and the host and the guest were seated, Du Zhongxiao asked, "The group training has been watching the army in the artillery camp these days. How do you feel?"

"It's not easy, it's not easy. It's not easy to use cannons, and using cannons is a lesson!" Shi Quanbin sighed repeatedly. "Before I came, I really didn't know that using cannons was so difficult. I thought it was like a bed crossbow in the army. As long as I pulled the string and put the arrow on the string and set the place to shoot it. After watching in the army for a few days, I realized that it was far from this. Like a bed crossbow, what's the use of cannons? As for the same artillery, the generals of the Imperial Guard can only use cannons to attack the city. Only when the Imperial Guard can use cannons to attack the city. If the Imperial Guard selects generals, those who can command the gunners to knock out the siege equipment will be good at defending, and they can be promoted to the border to become the leader of the military camp. Those who can use cannons to knock out the guardians on the city when siege are good at attacking, and the superiors can also be promoted more than they can be promoted. When they see the artillery battalion, they will not be qualified to be a gunner. No wonder most of the envoys in the artillery battalion are useful."

Du Zhongxiao said: "The rules of the Yingtianxiang Army must have a skill whenever the envoys are effective. All officers must be able to command troops and command operations. This cannot be done. No matter how great the military achievements are, they cannot lead troops."

After hearing this, Shi Quanbin said strangely: "So what should I do when fighting against the enemy, if there are soldiers who are extremely brave and make great contributions?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "If you have merits, you will be rewarded. If you have a skill or the ability to command troops, you will be an officer. If you really can't be a brave man who can't be an officer, there is no way, you can only do it. If you remember the military merits there, you won't treat them unfairly."

Shi Quanbin thought for a while and said, "The promotion of the army is the top priority for persuading the army. If this is not the case, it will not stimulate morale and let the soldiers fight to the death. If this is done, who will strive to be the first in the war?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The most important thing for the army to train in a group is to win a war. The military merits of an officer are to win a war. If you win, then the size of the merits will be determined. If you are invincible and have to fight, you must first look at the merits and demerits. If you are wrong in command, you must hold the commander accountable, and then the merits and demerits of the subordinates. If the information is wrong and you are ambushed by the enemy, then you must investigate the information. In a war, victory or defeat is the first, and merit and demerits are the second. This cannot be careless. Fighting bravely is a matter of the effectiveness of soldiers and envoys, and the commanders above the squad have nothing to do with this. The morale in the army is low, even if the officers at the level of the squad are at fault, let alone during the war?"

Shi Quanbin nodded, not knowing what he said, and felt that his ideas from Du Zhongxiao were too different. It was a long tradition of the army to record merits with his head and promote merits with his military merits. Speaking of strengthening the army, everyone praised Qin's army to destroy the six countries, which was to count merits with his head and give me titles and honors. How could Du Zhongxiao say that no matter how many enemies killed in front of the formation, he was still soldiers. This is how the officers saw it?

In fact, if you use the head to remember merits, not to mention whether it is the full picture of the Qin army, at least this era is no longer in line with the actual situation of the war. The imperial guards felt that it was unreasonable in the northwest, and began to try to implement military merits of the head to the head, and there was a certain reform.

The direct purpose of war is not to kill the enemy, but to win. Killing the enemy is just a means of victory. Using the head as a means of merit, letting the soldiers go to battle and kill the enemy as their goal. They often forget that their mission is to win the battle. The entire army, morale and style will be affected.

After talking about his thoughts over the past few days, Shi Quanbin was still amazed. Such artillery must have a special school, otherwise qualified soldiers will not be able to be trained at all. Because the literacy rate is too low and education is not popular, the military starts with basic education, and cannot reach the level of artillery selection after training after the popularization of education in later generations. The requirements for soldiers are such, and schools are necessary.

After drinking tea for a while, Shi Quanbin said: "What the officials and the two ministers value most is the artillery here. I have been in the military camp with my intentions for a few more days. I will take a day off tomorrow and go around to see the customs and customs under Tiju's rule. The day after tomorrow I will go to the cavalry camp and observe the cavalry. The Tianxiang Army of Tiju's camp, the most precious artillery and cavalry are the ones who eat well, have enough money and food, and have more usefulness to the envoys."

Du Zhongxiao said: "The team training is up to your own wishes, and I will arrange the cavalry to prepare. By the way, I will take a rest tomorrow. Should I train alone or do I need someone to accompany you? I have nothing to do in the past few days. I can accompany the team training around."

Shi Quanbin said: "No need, just walk around by myself. I'm still afraid of being uncomfortable under the rule of the government?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "In this way, the group training will be fully enjoyed. If necessary, please let me know..."

Shi Quanbin turned his mind and asked Du Zhongxiao: "I heard that the lord of the cavalry is a servant who has been with him all year round?"

Du Zhongxiao said, "It's one of my followers. When I saw him in Bozhou, because he was tall and had a match for others, he could not get close to him, so he kept him with him. Although he followed me, he had no body contract and could not be considered a servant."

Shi Quanbin nodded: "So that's it. It seems that he is a talented man. Seeing that he is brave, he can't bear to be buried. What's the special thing about this man is that he becomes the leader of the cavalry? According to Tiju, the Yingtianxiang Army cannot be an officer without a talented man in command."
