Wang Yuan is a half-ass, since he is ordered to train soldiers, he must read military books.

"The Art of War" is too old, and it is mainly based on military theory, and the content of this ancient military book is similar, and it is not of substantial help to Wang Yuan's military training.

Wenyuan Pavilion has a large collection of books, and Wang Yuan searched for two or three days, only to find Jiao Yu's "Fire Dragon Artifact Formation".

As for Liu Bowen's "A Hundred Battles" and "The Heart of the Art of War", they had not yet come out at this time, and they were fake books made by later generations under his name.

A series of military books of the Ming Dynasty, such as "Martial Arts", "Strategy", "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", "Actual Record of Military Training", "Military Moderation", "Coastal Defense Diagram", etc., were mainly written in the Jiajing period, and a few were written in the Wanli period, which were all summed up in the actual war.

Wang Yuan went to the military department to inquire again, but there were only various Ming military systems and formation diagrams, and he couldn't find relevant books as a reference for military training.

This thing belongs to the secret that is not passed down, and it is all in the hands of hereditary generals, and different generals have different training skills. Wang Yangming's method of training soldiers when he repaired Wang Yue's tomb was summed up by Uncle Wang by referring to ancient military books.

In the Ming Dynasty, there is still a lack of an infantry drill code that can be used throughout the country!

Wang Yuan first found Zhu Zhi, who was fighting together, and asked, "How does the Ming army fight?" ”

Zhu Zhi has been in the border town for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with this, and he recounted in detail:

"The crossbowman was in the back, and he threw it from a hundred paces away. The firecrackers are on the side, and sixty paces away are the same medicine. ”

"The knife player is in the front, holding two javelins and wearing a waist knife. First, raise a shield to defend against the enemy's bow and crossbow, 30 steps to bid a spear to choke the enemy's edge, and draw a sword to meet the enemy in close combat. ”

"The pikemen followed, and the players marched in a team of ten, all armed with waist knives and a javelin. If you are far away, you will bid for a spear, and if you are near, you will stab with a spear. If the spear gets stuck, immediately draw your sword and kill the enemy. ”

"Crossbowmen and firecrackers often hide behind gunners, and when they meet the enemy, they can also abandon their bows and firearms, and draw their swords to kill the enemy with the players and gunners."

"The cavalry mainly sweeps the formation, covers the killing, and pursues, and rarely participates in the charging formation, and our 200 heavy cavalry is a special case."

"There is also a chariot formation, which is dedicated to defending against enemy cavalry......"

Zhu Zhi said a lot, all of which were the most basic border army tactics, and they were also the most commonly used composite formations in the Ming Dynasty army.

Generally speaking, those who can make good use of this composite formation are already good generals and elite soldiers, and they dare not use it when facing the enemy's formation, because they may collapse on their own if they change.

Wang Yuan asked again about the method of military training, and Zhu Zhi told him the truth and did not hide any reservations.

Two days later, Zhang Yong threw 6,000 soldiers to Wang Yuan, all of which he picked and leftover, but they did not belong to the weakest category.

Wang Yuan did not train immediately, but first went to observe Zhang Yong's training.

Zhang Yong attached great importance to this training and had to go to the school every day, but the actual training was left to the specific general school for operation.

The content of the training is roughly as follows: first set the roster, assign waist cards, and facilitate the counting of troops. Secondly, learn military salutes, recognize the military flag, practice simple arrays, and learn to recognize the military flag and act. Secondly, the arms are different, and the actual practice of swordsmanship, marksmanship, archery, cards and so on.

Zhang Yong's 6,000 regular soldiers were trained rigorously, and they also had to practice running, and they ran with their calves wrapped around sandbags. It is also necessary to engage in weight-bearing training, hang all kinds of heavy objects on the body, and carry out daily array exercises. He also trained his arm strength, held a weapon heavier than the actual weapon, and conducted professional training every day.

These 6,000 regular soldiers, who train for half a day every day, are considered very diligent in ancient times, and the devil knows how long they can hold out.

The remaining 30,000 strange soldiers, a small training in three days, and a major training in ten days, fooled things casually, and it is estimated that the battle will only make up a number.

After watching for a few days, Wang Yuan still did not train immediately, but according to various phenomena of stealing and cheating, he nested in the house to formulate corresponding punishment regulations, and by the way, compiled a military regulation during the exercise.

……

The military regulations were not compiled, but Song Ling'er came, took Wang Yuan's hand and said, "Who do you think is coming?" ”

Wang Yuan looked outside the door and saw Li Ying standing with a smile, still holding a cat cage in his hand.

"Haha, Li Sanlang!" Wang Yuan laughed and greeted him out.

Li Ying also rushed in, put down the three leopard cats, and gave Wang Yuan a bear hug: "If you are empty, you are really powerful." Not only did he take the first place in the exam, but he also killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions to break through a great prestige, and I heard the news that you beheaded Liu Liu and Liu Qi halfway through. ”

"It's just a fluke," Wang Yuan asked, "have you gone to see your husband?" ”

Li Ying smiled and said, "It's from Mr.'s side, if it weren't for Ling'er to lead the way, I wouldn't be able to find where you live." ”

The two talked about the old days, and Wang Yuan opened the cat cage. Tumu Sanjie immediately pounced at Wang Yuan's feet and licked wildly, and Fu roared at Li Ying, as if blaming him for locking himself up for too long.

Song Ling'er picked up the wood and stroked her neck hair, and said, "When I went to my husband's house for dinner tonight, I asked the blacksmith to make a copper pot, which will be used to eat a warm pot in the future." ”

Li Sanlang immediately echoed: "This is good, I still remember the warm pot I ate on Longgang Mountain." ”

Wang Yuan beckoned Zhou Chong to follow, and took the three leopard cats to Wang Yangming's house.

Halfway through, Wang Yuan casually asked, "What is the situation in Guizhou?" ”

Li Ying replied: "When I left Guizhou, the official army was under the command of the governor of Wei, and they fought successively. And you originally designed to promote that the rebels were supported by An Guirong, which is actually true. Chief Miao took the initiative to write to the imperial court, saying that they were provoked by An Guirong and hoped to be recruited by the imperial court. ”

"Ann Fat Man is so bad!" Song Linger gritted her teeth.

"An Guirong is not dead yet?" Wang Yuan was surprised.

Li Ying smiled bitterly: "After lying in bed for two years, I actually recovered." After the matter was revealed, he personally led his troops and horses to cooperate with the officials and soldiers to kill the thieves, and at the same time asked Zhishi to let his eldest son inherit his position as Tusi. ”

Wang Yuan asked again: "What about the Song family?" ”

Li Ying glanced at Song Ling'er: "Everything is as it is." ”

Wang Yuan asked, "Have you gone to Jinyiwei to report?" ”

Li Ying shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

Wang Yuan said, "Tomorrow I will go and ask Your Majesty to borrow you as my military judge." ”

"Judge?" Li Ying didn't understand.

Wang Yuan explained: "Your Majesty asked me to train my troops. ”

Li Ying could only sigh with emotion, last year's village boy is already a favorite of the Son of Heaven this year. You can see the Son of Heaven casually, and you can also ask the Son of Heaven to borrow someone from Jinyiwei to train the army, and in the past, Li Ying never dreamed that his friend could be so majestic.

When he came to Wang Yangming's house, Wang Xiang was already cooking hot pot and bought a lot of condiments to make dipping dishes.

Seeing the students in Guizhou again, Wang Yangming was very happy, deliberately took out a few earthen bowls, and said with a smile: "This is a bowl played in Guizhou, I have carried it all the way, and I am usually reluctant to take it out." ”

"Sir misses the old man so much." Wang Yuan said.

Wang Yangming said with emotion: "I only stayed in Guizhou for one year and nine months, but I will never forget it, you students, are my family. ”

Uncle Wang asked about his old friends and students in Guizhou again, and Li Ying answered the recent situation one by one, recalling the past with great embarrassment.

After a hot pot, Wang Yuan took out his unfinished military regulations: "Please correct Mr." ”

Wang Yangming glanced at it and reminded: "Military training is not only about discipline, martial arts, and body, but more importantly, about training military spirit. Your military regulations, the content is too harsh, and the rewards are especially insufficient, you may be able to train strong soldiers, but it is also easy to train resentful troops. When you are brave and good at fighting, when you are not discouraged. Remember, rewards and punishments are separated, and training is the best! ”

"Thank you, sir, for your teachings!" Wang Yuan woke up.

Wang Yuan was too wary of those Jingyouzi, and wanted to train soldiers as machines, ignoring people's subjective initiative.

Then correct it, slightly reduce some daily punishments, increase various incentives, and introduce a set of incentive elimination system.
