After such a thing just now, although these soldiers may not accept him, they don't hate him in their bones, and seeing him swing his hands, they stop the noise very face-saving. 79 free to read
"If you want to become an immortal bird, in addition to going through the baptism of war, what you have to do is training?" Yang Zheng said in a deep voice: "As a soldier, as long as your martial arts are high, you will kill the thief, how can the thief kill you? Therefore, our training is to practice martial arts, not to engage in fist embroidery. It is better to learn more about knives, guns, sticks, and sticks, and to train more on weekdays than to be killed by the enemy on the battlefield!" After a pause, he continued: "From today onwards, the army will stipulate the methods of using all kinds of weapons, and all kinds of officers and men will be trained in combination with formations, and they will be evaluated, and the good will be rewarded and the bad will be punished, so that everyone will concentrate on training martial arts and everyone will have the ability to fight in actual combat." ”
Zhang Yi originally looked down on him a little, but when he heard him say the truth, he couldn't help but nod secretly: "People can't be good-looking, the sea can't fight, this General Yang is so young and so proficient in military affairs, it's not easy!"
Yang Zheng has stipulated that soldiers should be trained to obey orders, and has formulated various regulations, from marching and lodging to training in military formation, killing the enemy and capturing thieves, there are extremely detailed and clear regulations, requiring officers and men to "memorize and familiarize" these orders and strictly abide by them, so that this army can truly prohibit the army in this trip.
arranged again, issued various instructions repeatedly, several hundred households, and the ten captains did not dare to slack off, and recorded what Yang Zheng said one by one, and then let the soldiers start to arrange.
Gao Hang obeyed the orders and trained these soldiers who were usually arrogant and domineering, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "This Lord Yang is young and knows how to train soldiers, does Lord Shangshu value him so much?"
Zhang Yi and Jin Yixiao, as thousands of households, had no reason not to go to training, and they were just about to turn around, when they suddenly heard Yang Zheng shouting to the two: "General Jin, General Zhang go slowly!"
Jin Yixiao, Zhang Yi turned around and hugged his fists and said, "Is there anything else with the general?"
Yang Zheng nodded and said, "There are indeed some small things that need to bother the two generals?"
Zhang Yi was young and gentle to Yang Zheng, not only had good ball skills, but also punished him, and also achieved clear rewards and punishments, but also had a very good set of training soldiers, and greatly appreciated him, listening to his words, he hurriedly said: "General Yang doesn't have to be polite, just say it!"
Yang Zheng nodded and said: "That's the case, some time ago, I heard Yang Shiqi's old man say that there are two artillery pieces in the city, I don't know where they are now, I want to ask the two generals to take me to have a look?"
Jin Yixiao and Zhang Yi were extremely satisfied with the new general, and nodded hurriedly when they heard the words: "It should be, it should be!"
If the application of China's firearms on the battlefield was embryonic in the Song Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty was an era of great development, and the emergence of this shape is closely related to Zhu Yuanzhang's development process.
Zhu Yuanzhang started near the Yangtze River, and at the beginning of his development, a person named Jiao Yu presented the firearms he developed, so Zhu Yuanzhang's team became the only rebel army in the Jiangnan rebel army that could be said to be the only firearm that became the standard equipment. The water network in the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with Liu Futong's Northern Expedition, the cavalry team that the Mongols were proud of could not exert its due power, so Zhu Yuanzhang, who had firearms, quickly tasted the sweetness. In a series of battles with Chen Youliang, firearms played an extremely important role. In the offensive and defensive battle of Nanchang, Chen Youliang waved an army of 600,000 to besiege Nanchang, but the Zhu army in Nanchang was unable to attack Chen Youliang for a long time with the help of firearms. In the subsequent Battle of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang's army gave full play to the power of firearms, using the most advanced firearms in China at that time, such as "artillery, fire milling, rockets, thistles, large and small muskets, large and small general barrels, large and small iron cannons, and divine machine arrows", creating a precedent for bombarding enemy ships with "naval artillery" in water warfare.
Since then, the invention and production of firearms in the Ming Dynasty has been in the leading position in the world. However, with the passage of peace, the development of firearms began to lag and was gradually surpassed by Western countries. After Jiajing, there were Japanese in the south, Tatar and Houjin in the north, internal and external troubles were strict, and the military struggle was very fierce, which prompted the continued development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, people of insight proposed that "if there are elite soldiers but no elite weapons to help them, it is said to be strong"; If someone has no weapons, then they are not my own", this group of people has vigorously promoted the development of firearms technology. During the period from Jiajing to Wanli, the Ming people mainly learned and improved all kinds of firearms introduced from the West, among which the Franc machine and the bird mill were transformed and perfected by the Ming army and equipped the army in large quantities, making firearms indispensable weapons in the war in the late Ming Dynasty.
The two cannons sent by Yang Shiqi were placed on the wall of the ancient city, more than two miles away from here, and the group walked towards the ancient city headed by Jin Yixiao.
Yang Zheng was quite interested in Jin Yixiao's ability to use various formations, and couldn't help but ask, "Where is General Jin from?"
Jin Yixiao hurriedly said: "The last general of the Hui Yu was originally from Fujian, and his family has been farming for generations, and after I was admitted to Xiucai, I was also admitted to the exam, and I didn't bother to wait for the official to do it, plus I was interested in the army, so I joined the army with a few children in my hometown?"
Yang Zheng nodded, and in the Ming Dynasty, he was also called filial piety. The township test is held once every three years, and it is also called autumn because it is in autumn. The township examination is conducted by officials from various ministries or Hanlin who are from Jinshi, and the provincial administrators serve as invigilators. Candidates who take the township examination must be Xiucai, and the location is in the Gongyuan of each province.
The township test is divided into three sessions, and the content is eight strands of text, test post poems, tables, judgments, theories, strategies, and so on. The examination papers should be transcribed by someone before being handed to the examiner to prevent cheating. After determining the list of passes, the list was posted in front of the governor's yamen, which was the time when the osmanthus was fragrant, so this list was also called the laurel list. Winning the lifting also means that one foot has stepped into the official career, even if you fail to pass the test in the future, you will have the opportunity to be a school official and a county magistrate, but you need to wait for the assignment, and the later Qing Dynasty official Hai Rui is an official as a lifter.

"No wonder I saw General Jin use the formation freely just now, it seems that he has a lot of research on weekdays?"
Although Jin Yixiao was born, he had no background in his family, and he was not reused in the army, even some of Zhang Yi's generals also looked down on him as a weak scholar, and when he heard Yang Zheng's words at this time, he undoubtedly had a sense of bosom friend, and said with a slight smile: "The general has won the award, and the last general likes these things on weekdays, so I found a few books on the art of war and read it?"
Yang Zheng said: "This is not something that can be seen by looking at a few books of the art of war, just now all kinds of formations, I saw that General Jin used them skillfully, and I can see that there is no less practice on weekdays?"
Jin smiled and said, "Are the brothers willing to follow me and toss around?"
Yang Zheng was about to speak, but suddenly Zhang Yi on the side snorted, and said: "What's the use of studying these broken formations all day long, when you go to the battlefield, the two sides fight, I'm afraid that before you put out this formation, those Tartar cavalry will rush up and kill them, I see, training is to let the soldiers practice fighting more, learn the ability to fight, and go to the battlefield to call him a Tartar, or Maitreya teaches to kill one by one, to kill a pair, and kill all the best?"
Jin Yixiao and Zhang Yi don't deal with each other on weekdays, and after hearing this, they didn't shy away from Yang Zheng on the side, and snorted: "I want you to only know how to train every day." Kill in the morning, kill at night, only know how to fight on the battlefield, if the enemy is a martial artist like you, it's okay, if you are a military general who is familiar with the art of war, hum, it seems that you rely on brute strength, and when you go to the battlefield, you are afraid that it will be a stepping stone for others to become famous?"
"You're amazing, but I didn't see how capable you are!" Zhang Yi immediately counterattacked: "Besides, knowing the art of war, knowing the formation may not be enough, Zhao Kuo in the past is powerful, even if his father talks about the art of war, the practice of formation is not as good as him, what will happen in the end, in the first battle of Changping, the 400,000 army was not killed by the Qin general Bai Qi, what about 400,000?
Yang Zheng didn't expect Zhang Yi to seem rude, but he still knew this, and he couldn't help but be impressed by this person.
Jin Yi smiled and said: "That was Zhao Kuo's blind talk on paper, so he fell for Bai Qi's scheme?
After a pause, he said: "Don't talk about the side, let's just say that in my dynasty, Generalissimo Xu Da didn't defeat Wang Baobao again and again by familiarizing himself with "The Art of War". ”
"Hmph, it's true that Marshal Xu is familiar with the art of war, but I haven't read it to General Chaochang, and he still defeated the Tartars, and his achievements are not less than those of General Xu?" Zhang Yi did not back down.
"You, you're making sense!" Jin Yi said angrily.
"Okay, the two generals don't have to quarrel?" Zhang Yi was about to speak, and suddenly heard Yang Zheng shouting, for this smiling general, the two of them were still a little afraid in their hearts, not to mention anything else, it was the method of training soldiers, the two of them had been doing thousands of households for many years, and they couldn't think of it, and the two of them didn't dare to be presumptuous based on this.
"What's going on with this Daming, it's all this time, and it's still this kind of specialty!"
Yang Zheng sighed, glanced at the two of them, and said, "As a thousand households, don't you know the truth of harmony?"
The story of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru has been spread for thousands of years, not only ordinary people, but also ordinary soldiers have heard it, how can Zhang Yi and Jin Yixiao not know? Seeing Yang Zheng's gloomy face, the two did not dare to say more, but they still snorted at each other.
Yang Zheng suddenly felt a big headache, shook his head and said, "General Zhang-?"
"Here!" Zhang Yi hurriedly responded with a fist clenched.
"Let me ask you, what are the benefits of training soldiers in tactics, do you know?"
This Zhang Yi is quite good at training soldiers on weekdays, but he never uses any tactics, just lets the soldiers practice fighting, so the soldiers under him are all very murderous, no worse than the Tartar soldiers in the past, but he really doesn't know how this tactics are.
Seeing that he was silent, Yang Zheng knew that he didn't know, so he turned his head to Jin and smiled and asked, "What does General Jin think is the benefit of training soldiers in tactics?"
