Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Chapter 455 Joining the Army

Although he was scolded by Ning Fan, Chen Yuanqing didn't care at all. He shook his head towards Ning Fan and said: "Your Majesty, brothers are all rough people. They don't know a lot of Chinese characters. They usually only need to eat well and drink well to help Your Majesty." Just fight, why do you think so much?"

"That's not okay. We must pay attention to the neatness of the military appearance, especially the soldiers. They must be disciplined and restrained and cannot be casual."

Ning Fan said with a serious look this time.

As a professional soldier from a modern civilized society, Ning Fan's understanding of the military far exceeds that of anyone in this era.

Standing in a military posture, walking forward, and folding tofu cubes, in fact, this is not to torment the soldiers, but to create an atmosphere of orders and prohibitions, so that no matter what these soldiers do, the orders will always linger in their minds, as long as As soon as you hear the command, execute it immediately to form a conditioned reflex.

Even if a team that is usually undisciplined has a strong combat effectiveness, at critical moments, such a team can easily be broken up and fail.

"Do you think that the Dragon Scale Army only needs to work hard to practice fighting bravely in daily training, and as for discipline and restraint, it is all red tape and useless, right?"

Ning Fan glanced at Chen Yuanqing. He felt that today was an opportunity for him to teach Chen Yuanqing another lesson.

"Isn't it like this? As long as the brothers work hard and kill people on the battlefield, what else does Your Majesty ask of them? If they are asked to be careful in their words and deeds every day and not smile, then what's the point of living?"

Chen Yuanqing looked at Ning Fan with confusion on his face.

"The logic doesn't make sense to you. It seems that when you were studying in the martial arts hall, you were in vain. It went in one ear and out the other."

Ning Fan looked like he was too lazy to speak.

When Chen Yuanqing heard what Ning Fan said, he couldn't help but giggle. Ning Fan took advantage of this opportunity and said to Chen Yuanqing: "Well, it's not a good thing that your team has a lack of military discipline. I'll send it to you in a few days." Ask someone to join the army to help you train the discipline of the team. He is only in charge of the discipline in the team, and you are only in charge of military command. The two of you will not interfere with each other, but you must remember that you and he have equal status. Don't Feel free to command others as you please.”

Hearing what Ning Fan said, Chen Yuanqing realized something, but the expression on his face did not change. First, he strictly obeyed Ning Fan, and he would do whatever Ning Fan asked him to do.

Secondly, Ning Fan also said that the military affairs will be under his command, which means that he, the general, is still the general and there will be no changes.

"In fact, it is appropriate for Your Majesty to do this. After all, military orders abroad will be subject to certain restrictions. If there is no one close to Your Majesty in a team, then the team will easily get out of control."

Chen Yuanqing is both rough and subtle. He immediately saw Ning Fan's purpose and pointed it out. This shows that he has a straightforward personality and does not like to hide things.

"I am not targeting you alone. In the future, all legions will promote a soldier. On the one hand, this soldier will be responsible for the logistics and discipline of the entire army. On the other hand, he can also share the pressure of the general. The general only needs to focus on the battlefield. Just make the decision.”

Not to mention Ning Fan's eloquence, he could explain the matter so perfectly in just a few sentences that even Chen Yuanqing couldn't find any reason to refute.

"Your Majesty, I remember that when you ordered the Dragon Scale Army to farm, you only asked us to farm and not do anything else. I asked my brothers to plant some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks. No, Do you know if this violates the laws of the court?"

Chen Yuanqing looked at Ning Fan carefully and said.

Ning Fan waved his hand and did not answer Chen Yuanqing's question, but looked at Chen Yuanqing: "You have to pay attention to the sea to the south. There may be enemies landing on the sea in the future. At that time, the main energy of your Dragon Scale Army will be defense. Enemies at sea."

Ning Fan suddenly thought of the Japanese pirates who had been a serious problem in all dynasties. Before, Jiangnan was in an extremely underdeveloped situation. Even if the Japanese pirates landed, it would be unprofitable. But now Jiangnan has developed greatly and has become the richest place in Dakang. So, then Japanese pirates are very likely to plunder Jiangnan from the sea.

"Your Majesty is talking about the Japanese people at sea. These Japanese people are good at building small boats to move freely on the sea. They usually hide on the small islands in the sea. They usually come ashore to rob our fishermen on the seashore of food. It's true. hateful."

When Chen Yuanqing heard what Ning Fan said, he immediately knew that Ning Fan was talking about Japanese pirates.

"Yes, don't underestimate these Japanese pirates running rampant at sea. If Jiangnan develops in the future, these Japanese pirates will form a group and form a strong fighting force. They will form a group to rob our things, rob our people, and rob our money."

Ning Fan wanted to give Chen Yuanqing a warning first, that is, don't be blindly arrogant about these Japanese pirates from the sea. Their fighting power is extremely strong.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. These Japanese are short and ugly and are no match for our Dakang soldiers."

"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that Jiangzhou has made a new batch of flintlock guns. Can these guns be equipped for our Dragon Scale Army?"

Chen Yuanqing took the opportunity to look at Ning Fan and ask for benefits.

With the advent of the flintlock musket, the Dakang army under Ning Fan was also undergoing an upgrade to modern firearms, and ordinary soldiers had begun to slowly become familiar with the combat capabilities of this firearm.

The era of cold weapons is about to pass, and the future will be the era of muskets. As muskets are constantly updated and iterated, new forms of combat will be displayed on the battlefield in the future.

"Before I return to the capital, I must go to Jiangzhou to have a look. Can you calculate how many guns are needed? I will have someone distribute them to you then."

Naturally, Ning Fan showed no mercy towards his direct team. As long as Chen Yuanqing opened his mouth and extended his hand, Ning Fan would give them with a stroke of his pen.

"At least two firearms battalions need to be equipped. Although the combat effectiveness of the flintlock is not satisfactory, the sound is very loud. When fighting the Huns, it can easily disturb the Huns' horses."

Chen Yuanqing didn't seem to have a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the musket. He only thought that it was a trivial thing. To really kill the enemy on the battlefield, you still had to rely on the knife in your hand.

"If you come into contact with a flintlock gun in the future, you will know how powerful it is. It can penetrate the deck within fifty steps with ease. Moreover, if a soldier undergoes one to two months of training, his accuracy will increase. To a certain extent.”

Ning Fan shook his head. He felt that Chen Yuanqing's thinking was still too conservative.

"Your Majesty, the Huns' cavalry is very fast. If there is no time to replace the projectiles after a volley, the Huns' cavalry will rush forward. At that time, the firearms camp will be the target of the Huns' butcher's knives."

It's not that Chen Yuanqing didn't realize the power of firearms, he just didn't have a clear understanding of the firing speed of firearms.
