King's Landing in France

An Ning took the letter of introduction, tore it open and glanced at it.

Robespierre wrote a big pile of eloquence, and the general content was to introduce how excellent Lazar Cano was as a military engineer and officer, and he would definitely play a major role in Anning.

An Ning read the introduction letter in a serious manner, and then said to Lazarcano: "I don't need military engineers here yet—don't worry, I don't need engineers, but I really need experienced officers, especially those who can The kind that organizes and trains troops."

Lazar Kano put his feet together and said to An Ning: "I also have some experience in this area, and I should be able to help you!"

Chapter 114 Pressing the line ah ah ah ah ah

An Ning nodded again and again: "Okay! You are very good at coming! From today on, you will be the head of the training department of my army! You are responsible for the reorganization and training of the army!"

Lazar Kano was a little taken aback: "Uh, don't you need to give me a company to see how my training is going?"

"No, I trust the person recommended by Robespierre." An Ning waved his hand, "But this responsibility is very important, our small army is very short of officers, I wonder if you can find some officers for me? "

Lazar Kano said with a smile: "Officers can be recruited. With your reputation now, if you use the banner of recruiting officers, a large number of officers will come here soon."

An Ning: "That's true, but many officers should already have military positions. Can they change jobs at will?"

"I just turned down the original appointment and came to rely on you." Lazarcano said, "There must be many people like me who will come here because of your reputation. If you think this is not enough, just add one , declaring that your army will not be paid in vouchers."

An Ning frowned: "This is not good. Supporting the referee is a patriotic expression. Those who do not support the referee in Paris will be labeled as traitors."

"Who dares to say that you are a traitor?" Lazarcano asked rhetorically.

An Ning scratched her head.

Kano continued: "And now the parliament is constantly issuing referral coupons. They seem to think that this thing can be printed indefinitely, but if this continues, there will be problems. It's like using the printed paper to steal it."

An Ning: "Is the situation so critical now?""

Kano: "Yes, the black market in Paris does not support coupons at all. Everyone uses the old coins to trade. Many shops in Paris support coupons on the surface, but when they sell things with coupons They will make various excuses and say that they are out of stock.

"Fortunately, this year's grain harvest is bumper, so everyone can still buy bread at a reasonable price on the black market. If there is another bad harvest, the situation will be very dangerous.

"Mr. Frost, you should suggest that the council stop issuing certificates indiscriminately, and find a way to stabilize the value of the certificates. Since the council has confiscated so many church properties, it is entirely possible to use the property of the church to support the value of the certificates."

An Ning: "Well... you may not know that I rarely put forward proposals in parliament... and most importantly, I don't understand these financial matters."

What An Ning said was true. As a programmer, he bought funds in his previous life, but he was locked up and suffered a big loss.

Lazar Cano sighed: "I don't know much about this, forget it, anyway, I will leave Paris with you soon. When are you going to leave for Konta?"

An Ning: "At the end of this month, there are still about two weeks. I have to wait for the first batch of artillery bought in Paris to be ready, and then go back with the artillery and other military supplies purchased."

Kano: "That's right."

An Ning: "Are any of your classmates in the Military Engineering College in Paris? How about writing to them and asking them to join me?"

"It's okay, I'll give it a try." Kano replied.

An Ning nodded, and then said: "It's getting late today, it's time to rest."

He rang the bell on the table, and Fanny opened the door and came in: "You called me?"

An Ning: "Take this Mr. Kano to the guest room to rest."

"Mr. Kano, this way please." Fanny said respectfully.

Kano was a little surprised: "Don't you have a housekeeper?"

"Not yet, but my head maid is very capable, and I don't really need a housekeeper," An Ning said.

Kano: "Then, I will take my leave, and you can rest well."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you tomorrow." An Ning nodded, watching Fanny lead Kano out of the room.

After An Ning was left alone in the study, he sat down, leaned back on the back of the chair, and smiled involuntarily.

Lazar Cano!The victorious organizer!With him, the expansion of his troops will definitely go smoothly.

If you are strong and strong, you can sit back and relax in the coming chaos.

At this time, An Ning suddenly heard a voice in the back of his mind saying that he was already the highest military officer in Konta, and that the local National Assembly was also supported by himself, and that he said what he said in Konta.

Is it possible to carry out some reforms in Konta?

Now that the National Assembly is tossing around like this, there are problems everywhere. Can I make some improvements in Konta?

An Ning stroked her chin, thinking about this matter.

Although he doesn't know anything about social reforms, he can appoint some capable people. Lazar Kano has arrived. This guy is the core figure of the reform of the French military. Sufficient sources of troops, one hit the whole of Europe.

Kano can be appointed as the Minister of Military Organization in the Konta area, and let him try reforms in Konta first.

Bring in some economically capable people and carry out a wave of economic reforms in Konta.

Then An Ning began to wonder, in the era of the Revolutionary Law, what kind of economic giants are there.

So he suddenly discovered that from the Great Revolution to the Napoleonic Wars, he did not have such an economic genius in his impression.

At least An Ning didn't remember it.

An Ning Fu forehead: "It turns out that there is a reason for the chaos of the reform era!"

An Ning began to think about whether to transfer some successful practices from other eras to the present.

As he was thinking, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"Come in." An Ning said.

Fanny opened the door and came in: "I've already arranged a place for Mr. Lazarcano."

"Oh, good, you go to rest too."

After the words fell, Fanny stood still.

An Ning asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"I can't rest until you sleep and rest. I'm a servant." Fanny replied.

An Ning stood up: "Alright, I'll go take a shower and go to sleep."

Fanny: "If you want to take a bath, there is freshly boiled hot water."

"Oh, there's hot water, okay, then I'll take a shower before going to bed." An Ning stretched her waist and then yawned long.

Fanny opened the door and waited by it.

After a while, An Ning arrived in the bathroom, and the warm breath rising from the bath was mixed with the smell of essence.

An Ning took off her clothes under Fanny's service, and then walked into the bath.

The temperature of the hot water was adjusted just right, and he comfortably immersed his whole body in the water, relaxing his body.

Fanny used a small spoon beside her to scoop up water on An Ning's bare shoulders, and asked while doing it, "You are in a good mood today."

"That's right, I met two very talented people today." An Ning almost wanted to say "two celebrities", but changed her words when she came to her mouth.

Neither Beethoven nor Lazarcano are very famous these days.

Fanny: "So, can these two be used by you?"

"Yes, I can use them all."

"That's really worth celebrating, our strength has grown stronger." Fanny said.

An Ning: "You speak like this, as if I am some kind of careerist."

"Isn't it? Everyone in Paris said that you are in Conta to manage your own power." Fanny responded.

An Ning frowned.

"I didn't... Forget it, everything will be fine." An Ning gave up, so let's just say yes.

Chapter 115 Who says women are inferior to men

After Lazar Cano joined, he immediately set about improving the training of An Ning's current company.

After a morning's practice, Kano found An Ning's study room: "It's amazing, your troops can't even move in line! How did you win so many rebels with such troops?"

An Ning sat behind the desk, put down the artillery list he just got, and looked up at Kano: "First of all, there are not as many rebels as the Parisians said. I have corrected it many times, but it is useless. The rebels The total number is about 9000 people.

"As for how I defeated them... the three thousand rebels I met at the beginning had no cannons or cavalry, so I caught them by surprise in the wilderness, and took advantage of our full range of troops to defeat the enemy.

"In the second battle, I made an ambush and used a bush to ambush the enemy."

An Ning carefully introduced the situation of the second ambush, including how he threw the luggage on the road, which caused the enemy's misunderstanding, and how he completely defeated the enemy with a platoon of guns and a charge while the enemy underestimated the enemy.

Lazar Kano's eyes were straightened: "With an army of this level of training, you defeated the enemy with a bayonet charge?"

An Ning: "The enemy is almost this kind of mob. And it's just a bayonet charge. Just charge out of the hedge."

"Even so, it is a remarkable achievement. What a military genius you are."

An Ning was speechless, and he himself began to have some doubts: Could it be that I really have some talent in this area?It doesn't make sense, anyone who played RTS (real-time strategy) in my era can probably fight this kind of battle.Could it be that people who liked to play RTS in my era were great military strategists per capita in ancient times?

So did RTS games make humans evolve?

Kano continued: "It turns out that this is the case. You know that your army is not capable of launching a normal march. This army will be dispersed within 100 meters of formation, so you chose to ambush at the hedge. High, It's really high!"

An Ning: Yes, from now on, that's what I think!

However, Kano was right in one sentence. His troops were indeed launching an attack seriously, and the formation would break up after less than 100 meters.

When An Ning's troops fought against the 3000-strong enemy, it was true that the formation was about to disperse when the troops walked out about 100 meters away.Moreover, this group of people didn't stop to shoot, and rushed directly to the enemy's face.

The standard process should be to stop and salvo first, and then charge.

However, with the scattered formation at that time, it would probably be chaotic to stop and salvo, and the stray bullets might hit their own people.

An Ning: "So the task of training these troops is entrusted to you."

Kano frowned: "To train such an army, I'm afraid I can't do it alone. I think you should issue a call-up notice and recruit experienced officers and non-commissioned officers from all over Paris.

"In that case, though, there might be a problem."

An Ning: "What's the problem?"

"Your army pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, and there is no difference in rank between soldiers and non-commissioned officers," Kano paused, "but the recruited old officers may not accept it."

An Ning thought for a while, then asked: "Is it possible to do this? I will select outstanding non-commissioned officers from the army and let them form a teaching team of about 200 people. You and your classmates will teach.

"With just this few people, the conflict between the old officers and the soldiers who demand equality should not expand. Even if it expands, it will be easier to resolve in this teaching team.

"After the training of the teaching team is completed, these people will be sent down to train the soldiers. These people and the soldiers are all of the same origin, and there will be no conflicts in official ranks.

"At this time, the teaching team will change to another group of non-commissioned officers for training. In time, we will have a group of non-commissioned officers who have the same background as the soldiers, are equal to them, but have rich experience, and the troops will become well-trained."

After An Ning finished speaking, Kano stroked his beard and thought for a few seconds, nodded and said: "Well, you can try it. In this way, even the most ordinary soldiers in the army may gradually be promoted to officers. I think the army The initiative will be greatly improved."

An Ning: "You probably don't know it yet. Because the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level are patriots and citizens, the morale of my army is higher than that of the old army. They just lack training."

"An army composed of citizens, and then there is a path for promotion. Unlike the old army, which has been fighting for several years, the privates can be promoted to the upper class at most. Yes, how strong the desire to fight will be in such an army, I can't understand Imagine." Kano said with a smile, "I will start to set up a teaching company."

An Ning: "From today onwards, you will be the captain of our army's teaching brigade!"

Kano nodded, and suddenly he thought of something again, and asked, "What about the cavalry? The cavalry in the current army is only those noble ladies? Such a small cavalry unit is not enough. Do you want to choose from the infantry?" Do people learn to ride horses?"

An Ning curled her lips and sighed, "I haven't figured out where to get cavalry. Maybe after a while, I'll hire some hussars."

Kano frowned: "The military discipline of the hussars is very poor. They are proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. If they are really recruited, those noble ladies will be bullied by pigs soon. You don't want your beautiful noble ladies cavalry Group, become a military prostitute group?"

An Ning stopped talking, and Kano's words extinguished An Ning's idea of ​​hiring wild hussars.

Not only can wild hussars not be hired, but also skirmishers with poor military discipline-the French call them prancing soldiers-cannot be hired either.

But this is not a big problem, because the morale of the French citizen soldiers is high, so they can be directly used as skirmishers.

An Ning stood up and paced the room.

Suddenly, he had a brilliant idea: "Wait a minute, what do you think of us recruiting pure female soldiers to serve as cavalry?"

Lazar Kano stared at An Ning with an expression of "Do you know what the hell you're talking about?"

An Ning: "You may not have experienced the Versailles march in the past year, but I saw it with my own eyes. Women came to Versailles with guns and cannons, forcing the king to promise to give them food.

"In the skirmishers, there has long been a tradition of appointing female drinkers, who will carry wine barrels and charge behind the skirmishers.

"As for my cavalry unit, they also performed well in scouting and hunting down the enemy. I think women can be cavalrymen. This is also in line with our principle of equality for everyone. Women can hold up half the sky!"

Kano: "This... you are willing to give it a try, and I have no objection. But you can only recruit in Paris. There are many ladies in Paris who are deeply influenced by the enlightenment thought. In the countryside of Konta, there are probably not so many ladies who are willing to leave Families are out fighting."

An Ning nodded: "Okay, then I will draft a notice and post it together with the notice for recruiting officers."
