I saw someone say that the Tianwu military establishment in this book is a modern establishment, and I don't like Chongyang, and I'm not interested in many things in foreign countries, so it doesn't exist.

Let's briefly talk about China's military formation.

Divisions and brigades were already formally established as early as the Xia Dynasty in China, but the number of personnel was not fixed.

"Zhou Li, Xia Guan, Preface Official": "All the army: 10,000 people are 2,500 people...... There are 500 of the 2,000 people as teachers, and the teachers and commanders are all middle doctors; Five hundred people are the brigade, and the brigade commanders are all doctors. ”

"Zhou Li, Xia Guan, Sima": "Where the army is controlled, there are 2,500 people as an army, the sixth army of the king, the third army of a large country, the second army of a sub-country, and the first army of a small country. ”

The army of the Xia Dynasty consisted of the royal army and the Fang ** team, with the army as the highest unit at that time, and the commander seemed to be called a general.

By the time of the Shang Dynasty, the establishment of the Shang army, with the division as the highest unit, Wang ** (equivalent to the Central Army) set up three divisions on the left, the center and the right, each division was about 10,000 people, a total of 30,000 people, and later expanded to 6 divisions.

The division has brigades, each brigade has jurisdiction over 1,000 people, and the party is stationed in various border areas, divided into right, middle, and left. The Shang king was able to mobilize the troops of the royal family, as well as the troops of the vassal states and nobles.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the development of the army was great, especially in terms of quantity, the army directly under the jurisdiction of Zhou Tianzi had 6 divisions of Zongzhou, stationed in Haojing (Zhou Capital, now Xi'anxi, Shaanxi), 8 divisions of Chengzhou, stationed in Chengzhou City (also known as Luoyi, now Luoyangdong, Henan), a total of 14 divisions, each division of about 10,000 people, is the basic armed force of the Zhou royal family.

The vassal states had about 8 divisions, that is, the Western Zhou Dynasty had a total of about 22 divisions and more than 200,000 standing troops.

In addition, Zhou Tianzi also had a tiger ben to protect the king of Zhou-the Praetorian Guard.

The largest formation of the Western Zhou army is also a division, below the division is a brigade, below the brigade is a hundred, and then below is the pawn, two, and army.

One of the highlights of the Western Zhou army is the establishment of the post of Sima in the army, the big Sima is the highest military position, and there are military Sima, Du Sima, and family Sima in the following levels.

Sima at all levels did not directly lead the troops, but was in charge of military affairs such as army establishment, weapons and equipment, military training, military endowment and military discipline, and was controlled by the king of Zhou.

Finally, let's talk about the Mandarin Duck Array, many people don't have any feelings about the Mandarin Duck Array of the Qi Family, in fact, I didn't have much feeling about the Qi Family's Army before I wrote this book, and I felt average, and then I took a closer look at the information and realized how awesome they were.

Since the Qi family army became an army, there has been no defeat in hundreds of battles, and the battle loss ratio of many battles is amazing, among which the Taizhou victory in the 40th year of Jiajing (1561), 13 battles and 13 victories in a month, annihilated more than 5,500 Japanese robbers in one fell swoop, and 20 Qi family soldiers died.

In the forty-first year of Jiajing, in the Battle of Hengyu, 6,000 Qijia troops forcibly landed on the island, annihilated all the Japanese on the island, and beheaded more than 2,600 Japanese soldiers.

In the forty-second year of Jiajing, he fought four battles and four victories in Pinghaiwei, killing more than 20,000 Japanese pirates, and Fujian Japanese pirates were swept away.

Subsequently, more than 30,000 pirates who colluded with the Japanese pirates were exterminated in Guangdong.

In the first year of Longqing, Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army into the Beijing Division, supervised Jiliao, began to train troops and established a musket cavalry team.

In the second year of Longqing, 30,000 Mongolian cavalry entered the Kou, and Qi Jiguang led 8,000 musketeers of Qi's army to raid the Mongolian chieftain's tooth tent, breaking 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry.

In the third year of Wanli (1575), Chang Bald led 50,000 Wuliang Ha iron cavalry into the Kou, and Qi Jiguang led the musket cavalry team out of the fortress to outflank, defeated 50,000 Mongolian cavalry in one go, and captured Chang Bald alive.

From the 38th year of Jiajing (1559) to the 11th year of Wanli (1583), Qi Jiguang left office, and the total number of enemy troops defeated by Qi's army exceeded 150,000.

Moreover, none of the opponents of the Qi family army were good at stubble, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese in the Ming Dynasty was recognized, and they made a fuss for decades, beating the guards of all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the situation of 72 Japanese soldiers besieging Nanjing.

In the Qi family's army, the mandarin duck formation is the basic tactical cultivation of individuals and units of infantry, which is not a very mysterious gossip array, but a real combat application formation, which is small for individuals and marching troops, and suitable for 10,000 people.

The Qi family army often used the mandarin duck array to kill 1,000 enemies and damage three people, as if kicking the proverb "killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself" into the garbage can.
