Of course, in addition to cultivating soldiers' sense of honor, it is also very necessary to formulate strict military regulations and military discipline.

It is necessary to let the soldiers know from the bottom of their hearts that being a soldier and fighting a war is not a joke, and war is not a child's play.

What they shoulder on their shoulders is the responsibility of protecting their families and defending the country, and their words and deeds represent the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the situation in which soldiers were inferior to bandits and plundered the common people must not appear in the new army.

As for the types of soldiers in the Prussian Legion, Zhu Youlang felt that there was no need to copy them.

However, some of the most distinctive class types can be retained.

Grenadier, for example.

The grenadiers are organized separately, and the soldiers are responsible for throwing grenades, so it is necessary to ensure that the soldiers grow strong and have enough strength to throw.

As for the musketeers and artillerymen, it is needless to mention.

In addition, Zhu Youlang decided to draw a flintlock corps from the elite of the new army.

Judging from the current situation, most soldiers still have to be equipped with arquebuses, and the Dreiser needle rifle is very difficult to imitate according to Francisco's feedback, and it is easy to encounter technical bottlenecks, so it can basically be abandoned.

On the contrary, there is a high probability that the flintlock imitation will succeed.

If it goes well, the flintlock pistol can be installed in a row of about 1,000 people.

That's not a lot, it's not too little.

With an elite 1,000-man flintlock pistol, it can effectively strike at the enemy's main force at any time.

The scene of queuing up to shoot the Manchu Eight Banners, think about it, it's not too beautiful.

Of course, it takes a lot of time to completely imitate a thousand flintlock pistols, which needs Zhu Youlang to fight for.

There is no doubt that the role of flintlock muskezeers is to attack in a line and cooperate with cavalry and artillery to suppress firepower.

In addition, Zhu Youlang is also preparing to set up a hunting team.

Their role is primarily reconnaissance, similar to that of Scout Sentinels.

The Hunter is a true warrior and needs to face many special situations alone, so he must be energetic, have a strong heart and endurance.

Finally, there's the Freedom Camp.

The number of soldiers in a full-fledged Prussian Free Battalion was between 500 and 700, and Zhu Youlang could adjust it according to the situation of the new army in the Southern Ming Dynasty, slightly increasing the number to 1,000.

The Freedom Battalion pursues mobility, and is equipped with only tents and light artillery as much as possible, ready to support friendly forces.

In other words, it acts as a fill-in-the-blank role.

He will be there where it is needed.

In addition, Zhu Youlang also prepared to equip the smoothbore flintlock pistol with a bayonet. Although this would add a lot of weight to the flintlock pistol, the role of the bayonet in hand-to-hand combat was self-evident when necessary.

Compared with French-style firearms, the most important feature of Prussian firearms is the pursuit of rate of fire rather than accuracy.

In other words, martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable.

As long as you play faster than your opponent, you have the upper hand.

As for the problem of accuracy, it can be compensated for by density and quantity.

Isn't that what line formations and line up to shoot are all about?

In the daily training of soldiers, a salvo is one of the most important!

Only when the salvo is practiced can the flintlock pissiers exert their maximum power.

The line infantry was very particular about the formation.

In general, the right hand of a soldier in an early line formation must be placed behind the left hand of the soldier to his right with a musket flintlock pistol, which has the problem that it will appear crowded.

Zhu Youlang decided to adjust it slightly, changing the distance between the soldiers to the width between their elbows, that is, about half a meter.

This was also to adapt to the characteristics of the flintlock pistol.

Comparatively speaking, the formation of the smoothbore flintlock pistol formation does not need to be too tight, and the more dispersed formation is easier to exert its power.

The entire flintlock array was in three rows, and the three rows of horizontal formations not only ensured sufficient firepower, but also ensured follow-up strength, which could be described as the best of both worlds.

Of course, this requires a lot of training so that the soldiers in the rear are not blocked by the soldiers in front.

There are also very strict requirements for the marching speed of the line infantry.

Generally speaking, you start by sprinting at a speed of about 90 steps per minute, and slowly slow down to 70 steps.

Even when carrying baggage during breaks, it was necessary to march at this pace.

This rule may seem a bit harsh, but it is actually to cultivate the execution of soldiers.

After all, it is necessary to maintain a constant speed when changing columns, otherwise it is likely to cause a serious gap in the queue and affect the overall march.

From time immemorial, phalanxes have been a great weapon of death against cavalry.

The Modao Formation in the Tang Dynasty and the Macedonian Phalanx in Europe are all based on this principle.

The same was true in the era of alternating hot and cold weapons, and the cavalry of the Manchu Eight Banners was more mounted infantry than cavalry.

Their mode of combat was not that of light cavalry like the Mongol cavalry, but of heavy cavalry.

The best way to deal with this kind of cavalry is to use a phalanx of regiments, from the flanks to the center to achieve horizontal and vertical transformation.

There are many variations of the specific marching style, which can be flexibly used according to the situation on the field.

But the basic types of soldiers need to be mastered. In this way, when faced with an emergency, you will not be confused.

As for the loading of the flintlock pistol, it also requires training.

Compared to the firing rate of about 50 percent of the arquebus, the firing rate of the flintlock gun of more than 85 percent can be described as extremely efficient.

The fixed paper-shell gunpowder also greatly increased the rate of fire of the flintlock pistol, but it was still necessary to have proficiency in simplifying it.

Only after a lot of daily training, so that the soldiers can form a kind of muscle memory, will they be able to make mistakes on the battlefield.

In general, quantitative training is the key to training the new army.

All Zhu Youlang can do is write a tutorial, and the specific implementation depends on the first-level instructor.

It's just that Zhu Youlang is still a little worried about the quality of the instructors.

After all, most of these instructors are veterans of the previous Ming army, and they are more taught by experience.

If it wants to truly realize the new army model it has in mind, it needs to train a group of new-style officers.

It seems that the establishment of the Huangming Military Academy is urgent.

Zhu Youlang wrote more than 1,000 words, and just wanted to take a break, the chamberlain Han Miao reported Wen Anzhi's request to see.

Zhu Youlang hurriedly summoned him.

But seeing Wen'an entering the house in a hurry, he bowed to Zhu Youlang and said, "Your Majesty, it's a great joy." ”

Seeing his unusually unusually dancing eyebrows, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but be a little curious.

What is the great joy that makes the always steady and dignified Wen Inspector happy to be like this?

"Oh? What a joy? ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong captured the Zhoushan Islands after withdrawing from the Yangtze River, and now they have a foothold."

Zhu Youlang was also taken aback when he heard this.

It turned out that after Zheng Chenggong's failed attack on Nanjing, he did not retreat directly as in history, but met with Zhang Huangyan and killed a horse gun to take the Zhoushan Islands.

Maybe it was Zhu Youlang's letter that reminded him that made the loss of Zheng Chenggong's main force not as serious as in the original history, and he had the capital to attack the Zhoushan Islands again!
