Iron Dynasty

General Luo, it's a bit rushed to attack now.

Qi Guangyi showed an embarrassed smile after Luo Quan set an offensive tone.

Looking at Qi Guangyi with a frown, Luo Quan asked, What? Do you have any other ideas?

Both Niu Ben and Luo Quan were famous generals of the Great Yu Kingdom. Qi Guangyi and the generals of the Great Yu Kingdom respected them very much. However, during the military reform process of the Great Yu Kingdom, they were more confident than these veteran generals. And some things are more thoughtful.

After hesitating for a while, he said: General, the 140,000-strong army will gather in Raozhou, and we will not be able to exert our real combat effectiveness if we act in a hurry. The last general thinks that we should let the rifle and cavalry drill together to get used to it, otherwise, mistakes will inevitably occur during the battle. Especially the 8,000 carbines allocated by the emperor this time, we need to equip them for a period of training.

This is naturally necessary. Luo Quan calmed down, what he just said meant that there was no need to fear the 260,000 cavalry of the barbarians, not to send troops immediately.

Niu Ben glanced at Qi Guangyi with admiration, and he said, Qi Guangyi is right, you must be fully prepared to fight. From now on, let the cavalry, artillery, and infantry jointly practice tactics against the barbarian cavalry.

Yes, General. Qi Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The most important thing for him is to build this Lancer while thinking about how to use the Lancer's strengths.

He was well aware that shooting on a horse would be much less accurate, but just like the flintlock pistols, they didn't need to pursue accuracy, they just needed to shoot dense bullets to destroy the enemy.

And although the range of the carbine is not as good as that of the Han-style rifle, the firing range of this kind of firing gun is still 500 meters. For the cavalry, it is an ultra-long-range weapon, which cooperates with the two short-barreled muskets that they are not equipped with now. Enough to play long-range and close-range combos.

At the same time, for him, this brand-new cavalry can also have more flexible ways of fighting. In short, horses are just tools for their riding. They can dismount and fight under certain conditions. Flexible conversion of cavalry.

After leaving the camp, Qi Guangyi immediately asked his generals to select 8,000 outstanding soldiers and formally set up the First Lancer Division.

For the next month, he borrowed some officers from the Army to train the cavalry as infantry in the morning in basic shooting skills and fighting styles.

In the afternoon, let these soldiers train shooting skills and formation combinations on the galloping horses.

In addition to the normal training of the cavalry corps, Niu Ben and Luo Quan began to cooperate with the three armies of artillery, infantry, cavalry, and lancers. For a time, Raozhou City was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

...

Qingzhou.

The books from Raozhou had already been piled high on Xiao Ming's table, and he knew all about the military training from Niu Ben and Luo Quan's arrival in Raozhou to Raozhou.

In any era, the expedition of the army abroad is a matter of great concern to the imperial court, because once the generals abroad have the intention of rebelling, it will bring great harm to the country, and even change the dynasty as a result.

However, for Xiao Ming, he is not worried. Compared with the previous information blockage, he can grasp the situation of Raozhou in time and can respond in time.

But in order to appease the cabinet, he still disclosed the news to them from time to time, and they talked about it every day in the province.

Now you should feel at ease, but this time I asked you to come and there is one important thing to discuss.

In the imperial study, Xiao Ming, Pang Yukun and Fiji said after reading the book.

Also ask the emperor to make it clear.

Pang Yukun and Fiji said at the same time.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said: These days, I have been thinking about the national title. Since I took the throne, I have promoted reforms to make the Great Yu Kingdom look brand new, and the Great Yu Kingdom's national title is still a symbol of the old power of the wealthy family, if it is completely wiped out When the traces of the past are gone, when a new country name is used to symbolize the country's elimination of the old and the welcome of the new, what do you think?

Pang Yukun laughed when he heard the words: After more than ten years, the emperor has destroyed the vassal kings, eliminated the wealthy, promoted business, and drove away the barbarians. His credit is no longer under the sages of the previous dynasties. Now, there should be a unified national title for the world.

Fiji's expression changed slightly, he said: Pang Shoufu said very much that the former Great Yu Kingdom was divided, and now the country should have a unified country name, and at the same time, the titles of Wei Di, Zhao Di, Yan Di, etc. should be cancelled. To avoid division among the people.

Xiao Ming's eyes rolled around Pang Yukun and Fiji. Pang Yukun looked happy. After all, he followed Xiao Ming to the mountains. For him, the sun and the moon in the Great Yu Kingdom had already changed. The country name is rather cumbersome.

In addition, a new dynasty was established, and those who followed Xiao Ming could also be more famous in the history books.

He could also see Fiji's hesitation, because he thought that to get rid of the old was to get rid of the gentry they once represented.

After all, the wealthy families that were wiped out were those who opposed Xiao Ming, while the wealthy families who supported Xiao Ming at the time were nowhere in sight, but they retained a relatively large amount of wealth.

These wealth gave them a great advantage in the early stage of industrial and commercial development, thus successfully turning many wealthy families into capital families.

And this point is very clear in the civil and military affairs of the court, and of course Xiao Ming is very clear, but he has no choice, the change of power is a thing that makes him very helpless.

What's more, these aristocrats are only one of the problems, and the more important problem is that the people who used to follow him to fight the country unknowingly replaced the former elites and became new elites.

Needless to say, the Luo family represented by Luo Xin, even a former wild man like Lu Fei has a bunch of relatives around him because of the growth of his power.

And this phenomenon is not uncommon in the cabinet.

Perhaps they did not deliberately allow their relatives to profit from the development of the country, but when officials learned that they were relatives of the powerful and powerful people in the dynasty, they would inevitably be distinguished from other commoners.

Therefore, the change of the country name this time is aimed at two groups of representatives from Pang Yukun and Fiji, not one of them, but Pang Yukun did not expect that Xiao Ming's thoughts were changing.

Since you all agree, the Great Yu Kingdom will officially change its name to the Chinese Empire, what do you think? Xiao Ming said loudly.

China, China, since ancient times, scholars and writers have called the Central Plains as the land of China, and most of the ancient Chinese people built their capitals in the north and south of the Yellow River, because they were in the Quartet, because they were called China, and it was also the prosperous place of the Han nationality. The territory of each dynasties is getting wider and wider, but whatever they govern is called China. Today, the emperor changed the country name to the Chinese Empire, which is in line with the current situation. Pang Yukun was very satisfied with this country name.

Fiji nodded slightly, and he could see that Xiao Ming's taking the country title as the Chinese emperor also meant awakening the national consciousness. After all, the Central Plains dynasty has been dedicated to internal fighting for a long time.

But now foreign enemies are looking around, and a unified and stable Chinese empire is needed to confront it.
