Chapter 17: Restructuring of the Beijing camp

Tie Xuan was a little distracted along the way before entering the Wuying Palace, and he couldn't understand how he could enter the eyes of the current emperor if he was just a small Jinan Wei commander, and he was not the founding martial artist.

The royal prelude is right, what a great honor, the tombs of the three generations of ancestors are smoking?

"You wait here, let's go in and report."

The eunuch who led the way threw Tie Xuan outside the temple gate and asked for help, and the latter nodded his head busily, and his palms were already full of sweat.

Listening to Wei Guogong's tone before, this is a good thing for him, I heard that several of the previous callees have been promoted, will the emperor Lao Tzu also favor himself?

I'm only in my early thirties, did the honor come a little too early?

Just when Tie Xuan was still thinking nonsense, the little eunuch in front of Fang came out with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty has a meeting, General Tie please." ”

Tie Xuan hurriedly straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, lowered his head and walked into the Wuying Palace, and he didn't dare to look around along the way, so he lowered his head deeply, and roughly felt that there was a person sitting behind the imperial case at the top of the head with his residual vision, and immediately knelt down, "Minister, Jinan Wei commands Tie Xuan, long live my emperor, long live." ”

"Give a seat, serve tea."

Zhu Yunwen was busy rechecking the plan in his hand, and he didn't have time to look up at him, so he said casually.

Tie Xuan thanked him, tremblingly found a seat to sit down and pull his ass, the whole person was tense, where did he dare to drink tea.

"I've heard you're quite familiar with military affairs?"

"The minister is ashamed, and he only knows a thing or two."

"You have to answer my questions truthfully."

"Yes."

"How is my Ming army?"

"The army of kings, a strong army in a hundred battles."

Zhu Yunwen put down the notebook and looked at Tie Xuan, "How are the soldiers of the Beijing camp compared to the army of the Nine Sides?" ”

Tie Xuan was stunned, and after a short pause, he gave up his hand, "The minister doesn't dare to bully the king, it's slightly inferior." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "Why?" ”

"The army of the nine sides, several battles a year, the survivors are all elite, although the Beijing camp is well-equipped, but the good and the bad coexist, uneven, if the battle formation, can not last for a long time."

Tie Hyun is referring to the army's willpower, which is the so-called acceptance of the casualty rate.

When the number of dead and wounded in an army reaches a certain proportion of the whole army, the army will collapse, and the so-called defeat is like a mountain, and this is what it says.

This ratio is high and low, and the more miscellaneous the army, the easier it is to break up, and the first is the Fu Jian Qin army in the Battle of Weishui.

The 800,000 miscellaneous troops threw their whips and cut off the stream, and they scattered in a hurry just because the crossing of the river was blocked, which frightened all the grass and trees, which can be called a joke of the army.

The same was true of the army in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when 500,000 troops equipped with the best equipment in the world at that time scattered and fled because the emperor was captured.

After that, it was even more common for more than 100,000 troops to defeat only a few thousand Jurchens in field battles, so that they boasted that "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and if they are full of 10,000, they are invincible." ”

As everyone knows, even the Mongolian cavalry left by Genghis Khan to conquer half of the world was beaten by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun in the form of field battles in the land of Hebei, like a lost dog.

And those who do not retreat in the fight to the death also abound, the earliest such as Xiang Yu's Chu Xiang, broke the cauldron and sank the boat, and 10,000 people shook Zhang Han's army of more than 200,000 people, and won a complete victory.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, he was in battle and ascended first.

The Southern Song Dynasty also still had the Yue family army.

However, everyone can find that these strong soldiers whose will is like steel, and who can do the death of the whole army without retreating, are often extremely rare in number.

There were only two armies in later generations: the Red Korean People's Liberation Army and the Soviet Red Army in Stalin's defense.

That's a real iron will.

If you want to train this kind of soldier, do you use sophisticated equipment, super high salaries, and generous food?

Armed with faith!

It is an honor that cannot be seen or touched, but has magical magic hanging in front.

The bald army is well-equipped and well-paid, and in the war of liberation, hundreds of thousands of people are often defeated and surrendered, why, because their soldiers only think that being a soldier is a job.

Being a soldier is just food, and there is no need to sell your life.

The ideological gap directly leads to the fact that the performance on the battlefield is not something that can be compensated by equipment.

In the ancient army, the equipment gap was not as big as that of the small pistols fighting aircraft and tanks in later generations, and in the era of cold weapons, the iron shovels used for farming in the fields were no worse than the steel knives of a hundred steels, which were all good things for killing.

So, there are often miraculous battles in which tens of thousands of people defeat hundreds of thousands.

The soldiers of the Nine Sides, fighting with the Mongols on the steppe every year, died a batch to replenish a batch, and most of the veterans have long been accustomed to death, even if half of their comrades are killed in a battle, they will not panic and collapse because of this.

In the 31 years of the world, the vast majority of the Beijing camp were recruited recruits, and they trained, ate, and slept every day, and went to the city to visit a green house and play gambling stalls when they received a monthly salary and sent home or stayed on annual leave.

They lived with wine, prostitutes, and gambling paraphernalia, but there was no killing.

When a war starts, the brothers who are with them day and night die in front of them, and when the number of deaths is large, their will will collapse, they will be afraid, and they will flee.

If one person escapes, hundreds of people will flee, and the whole army will collapse in a matter of days.

Therefore, those who know the soldiers often say that attacking the heart is the top, this is the so-called art of war, the soldier immortal Han Xin to deal with a Xiang Yu who is even at the end of the road, he has to set up an ambush on ten sides with the soldiers of the world, and deal with Xiang Yu with hundreds of thousands of troops Chu Xiang's personal soldiers, and also use Chu Ge to move the army's heart, and he was still killed by Xiang Yu out of the encirclement, if he really wants to be upright in the field, Han Xin is also afraid that hundreds of thousands of people can't beat it!

Liu Bangke had a precedent of a 500,000 coalition army being killed by Xiang Yu's 10,000 troops in Pengcheng!

Zhu Yunwen summoned Tie Xuan and led the latter to the side hall, where there was a huge sand table, marked with Shandong, Beizhili and the nine-sided landforms, Zhu Yunwen picked up a small flag and handed it to Tie Xuan, "If the Beijing camp is against the army of the nine sides, how can it win." ”

Tie Xuan trembled in his heart, startled, and heard Zhu Yunwen say, "Don't think about it, just reply." ”

Tie Xuan swallowed his spit, "Dare to ask the emperor, where are you fighting?" ”

"Right here!"

Zhu Yunwen pointed at the Hebei Plain with one hand, "Dignified and upright, the two armies are fighting in the field!" ”

Tie Xuan held the flag in one hand, and said on the other hand, "The front army dug more tunnels, concocted horse traps, prevented the nine-sided cavalry from advancing sharply, built camps on both wings, and defended the Chinese army's Shenji battalion. ”

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, "If the nine sides do not retreat, they are desperate, resist the casualties and forcibly charge into battle, at that time, the front army and the army of the nine sides fought together, and the artillery was dumb, how about it?" ”

The strong soldiers of the Nine Sides will not be frightened by paying a part of the casualties first.

Tie Xuan pulled out the flag, "The Shenji battalion retreats, the premise of the rear army, the law enforcement team is established, and once the front army is defeated, it will be diverted to the two wings for repair, and the army formation must not be disturbed." At that time, the battle situation was separated, and the Shenji Battalion formed a formation in situ, and then activated the firer.

At this time, if the nine sides continue to advance, the two wings will be outflanked, and the nine sides will be surrounded by a strong crossbow, once they are encircled, they can be accomplished. ”

Zhu Yunwen bowed his head slightly, "There are still two brushes." ”

He took out the notebook from his sleeve and handed it to Tie Hyun, "Take a look." ”

Tie Xuan respectfully took it and opened it, "This is, the method of military training written by His Majesty?" ”

The emperor will also train soldiers?

What the hell is going on? What is a queue exercise? What is ideological counseling? Political commissars? Staff officer? When did this kind of position exist in the military? Isn't it all the commander who makes one person say how to fight, and the deputy general will go down to everyone to handle the knife?

Good guys, the chief officer is responsible for directing the battle at the front, and the political commissar boosts morale at the grassroots level?

It's a novelty.

Zhu Yunwen must be added to the political work, the ancient soldiers said something unpleasant, if there is milk, it is a mother, and Zhu Ming's orthodoxy not only rules them in righteousness, but also because they can eat enough and get salary.

If we don't strengthen ideological work, will we be like the soldiers of the fifth generation, who are fighting and managing the rear while asking for silver?

Tie Xuan was confused and puzzled, so he listened to Zhu Yunwen speak.

"From today onwards, the general officer of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies of Ru will be promoted to the rank of Hussar General, who will be in charge of the training of the new army, from the Beijing camp, over the age of 16 and under the age of 40 will join the new army, and the generals of the Governor's Office of the five armies, you can choose to join the army by yourself, and copy this volume, the military system of the new army, there are notes in the book, and the officers and above are all in their hands."

The chief of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies? doesn't have this official title, it doesn't matter, Tie Xuan only knows that he is now a member of the second grade! Or a hussar general! Glory to the ancestors, one step to the sky!
