At two quarters of noon,
Several carriages slowly stopped at the gate of Qin Mansion.
Qin Ming jumped off the carriage, walked to the generals, pointed at the gate of Qin Mansion and said:
"Uncles, this is my nephew's residence."
After saying that, Qin Ming led everyone towards the door with a chuckle.
Wei Guogong Li Jing and Hejian County Prince glanced at both sides of the street, and there was a hint of weirdness in their eyes.
【What a coincidence? This kid actually became a neighbor with that guy! 】
Thinking like this, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and then followed everyone into the Qin Mansion.
Not long after Qin Ming led everyone to sit down in the front hall, Xiao Changxi led Mei Xin into the front hall after receiving the news.
Qin Mingchao said to Xiao Changxi:
"Xi'er, go and inform the kitchen that there will be a banquet for distinguished guests at noon. Ask them to cook more of their specialty dishes, and have someone bring some refreshments first."
Xiao Changxi smiled and nodded, and then left the front hall.
A few moments,
Then the maid from the house placed cakes and tea on everyone's tables.
Prince Hejian smiled and picked up a piece of pastry, then said to Li Jing:
"Gong Wei, it's your first time to be a guest at Qin Ming's place. I'm afraid you don't know that the food in this boy's house is excellent, right?"
The others also agreed after hearing this, and then each reached out to pick up the cakes and started eating them.
"Then I want to have a good taste!"
After saying that, Li Jing picked up a piece of donkey roll, examined it briefly, and then threw it into his mouth. Then Li Jing's eyes lit up and he said to Qin Ming:
"My dear nephew, the pastries in your house really have a unique flavor. I like them very much. I wonder if you can give me a box later?"
Qin Ming smiled and nodded and said:
"Since uncle likes it, my nephew will tell the people in the house to make more in a moment. When uncles leave, you can take a few boxes with you."
Li Jing took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"Thank you so much, nephew."
While everyone else was eating pastries, Duan Zhixuan suddenly asked Qin Ming:
"My dear nephew, I remember that you once said in the palace that when the defenses compete, they can use offensive and defensive battles or field battles. I am more interested in this. Can you tell me your thoughts in detail?"
As soon as these words came out, needles could be heard in the front hall, and everyone looked at Qin Ming.
When Qin Ming heard this, he put down the cake in his hand and lowered his head in thought.
As a half-hearted military fan, in his previous life, he watched war movies and some military programs, and was interested in all kinds of modern weapons and equipment.
He likes tanks, airplanes, cannons, warships, and submarines, and even bought many models.
I have also paid attention to some domestic and foreign military exercises.
So he thought for a moment and said:
“In fact, the format of this competition can directly simulate actual battlefield conditions.
Among them, offensive and defensive warfare is the most basic form, where one side defends the city and the other sieges the city, or both sides have cities. "
Duan Zhixuan frowned and thought for a while and said:
"Even if there is a siege, if the number of people is too small, how can we attack the city? Besides, many of the means of defending the city are not easy to show in the competition. After all, means such as throwing stones and bricks are not used!"
He followed up and said:
"There's no need to splash gold juice either!"
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong twisted a piece of pastry and said while eating:
"This is not simple. We can use water with pigments as gold juice. As long as the soldiers are contaminated in many places, they will be considered to have lost their combat effectiveness."
"As for the stones? We can replace them with other items and put paint on them. That's it. Then we can allocate a corresponding number of defensive and siege items according to the number of people participating in the competition. .”
Qin Ming couldn't help but extend his thumb to Li Xiaogong after hearing this.
"Uncle Li is right. Since it is a simulated actual battle, in addition to weapons and equipment, we can also transform a venue specifically for the competition based on the actual terrain and buildings of the battlefield."
"The city inside can also be built according to the number of people. In addition, if it is a field battle, similar terrain can be specially selected near Chang'an City as a test site."
Everyone present fell into deep thought after hearing this.
After a while, everyone started discussing in the hall. Later, when everyone got excited about it, they asked Qin Ming to find paper and pen. A group of people gathered around the round table for eating and drew various actual terrain maps. .
The discussion lasted for a full hour and a half before it ended. During this period, Xiao Changxi came over no less than three or four times, but every time she saw everyone interested in chatting, she did not interrupt.
Qinfu Restaurant,
Perhaps that discussion consumed too many brain cells, and everyone's eyes glowed green as soon as they got to the dinner table.
One by one, they all rounded their arms and started feasting.
Of course, how could we miss out on drinks when dining with these big bosses?
As the master of Qin Mansion and the youngest person present, Qin Ming naturally became the target of public criticism.
Especially that fool Xue Wanche, who drank three bowls from Qin Ming under the guise of treating his injuries.
As a result, Qin Ming became a little drunk within a quarter of an hour after the banquet started.
Li Jing hasn't seen a young man like Qin Ming in many years, so he rarely drinks alcohol, but he drank a lot today.
He stretched out his hand to touch the pieces of paper covered with topographic maps in his arms, and his mood became better and better.
If the Sixteen Guards Competition can be completed, it will become an important means for the Tang Dynasty to improve the combat power of each team.
Since the fourth year of Zhenguan, when his army destroyed the Eastern Turks, how to maintain or even improve the morale and combat effectiveness of his soldiers has become his biggest concern.
After all, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to destroy the East Turks four years after the Weishui Alliance was largely because the East Turks, as the largest nomadic regime in the north of the Tang Dynasty, were like a knife across the neck of the Tang Dynasty. on the knife.
It no longer threatens Datang's life all the time.
But after the sword was broken in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the threat from the Tang Dynasty suddenly disappeared.
This also directly caused the combat power of the Sixteenth Guards to decline year by year.
Ordinary soldiers and generals may not have noticed this, but Li Jing has led the army in southern and northern wars for many years, and his eyesight is naturally not comparable to theirs.
The simplest example is that before the destruction of the Eastern Turks, the Sixteenth Guards of the Tang Dynasty had at least three hours of daily training during non-busy farming seasons. However, as far as he understood, some had no less than three hours, and the daily training time was no longer enough. An hour.
Can the combat effectiveness of the army not be reduced?
So now, with the method proposed by Qin Ming, he is the happiest person present!
[This kid is good, he is spiritual! 】
