Section 637 New cavalry development
Zu Dashou said a truth!
In the Ming Dynasty, in order to avoid being unloaded by the imperial court to kill donkeys and "flying birds, good bows hidden, cunning rabbits died, lackeys cooked", often "raise Kou self-respect", the most obvious example is Liaodong Li Chengliang, when the old wild boar skin was just the Li family's groom!
Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong for 30 years, and successively won ten great victories, whether it was Mongolia or Jurchen, they were all crushed by him.
But such a fierce man, such a border guard boss who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, is an excellent "target" for the officials, saliva and hidden arrows in a volley, in the nineteenth year of Wanli, finally shot Li Chengliang off the horse, the reason is "extremely expensive and arrogant, extravagant". In fact, as a warlord, Li Chengliang is not the most extravagant, compared to Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng of the same era, he can only be a small thing, but the tradition of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty is "I can be insatiable, but you have to be honest like water".
Later, Li Chengliang was reinstated, what else could he do?
He can only raise his own respect, as long as he reports to the court that the border is safe and sound, the imperial edict will arrive next month, politely invite him to the wilderness, and unceremoniously ask him to leave the nest and go to the capital to confront him--- and his bullet is as high as his!
But in the southeast mansion, it is different, in Sun Chengzong's evaluation of the leader: "It is like Yongle!" ”
It means that the leader is like Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, and Zhu Di is a son of heaven, he is the country's largest military leader, and under his rule, there is no such thing as civilian officials bullying military generals.
In fact, from Zhu Chongba's time until the Tumubao Change, during this period, there has been no such thing as civilian officials overriding military generals.
The new reincarnation has arrived, and now the southeast government uses the "rule of law" instead of speaking officials, the personnel and financial rights of the army are under the direct control of the leader, and the strategic decisions are planned by the professional staff rather than the civil ministers, and the spring of the military generals has arrived.
For military generals, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you don't seize this opportunity to turn your family into a generational hairpin family, you will be a fool!
In accordance with the principle of the Southeast Military Prefecture, all officers and soldiers must take the examination every time they enter, and all officers and soldiers will study for three months, so the military camp is directly used as a school, and the Army Academy of the Southeast Military Government sends teachers to the military camp to teach the officers and men of the new cavalry division to carry out various studies.
Including literacy, which is a must, all people learn simplified Chinese.
Like a soldier, shave the unique head of the Southeast Army!
The spirit of the board and the head of the board is not easy to smell when there is a lot of sweat, and it is not easy to get infected if it is injured, and it is also easy to heal.
This is nothing for the soldiers in the southeast, but it is really something for the soldiers in the north.
They have been educated to "be the hair and skin of the body, and the parents who receive it, dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety!" ”
Zu Dashou, He Kegang and other officers took the lead in shaving their heads!
The officers and soldiers saw the bare heads of the two revered commanders, hehe.
Zu Dashou said: "We are soldiers in the Southeast Mansion, this shaving is not for nothing, it is to save life, life is the most important, better than other things!" ”
At the sound of an order, all the officers and men of the cavalry division got a haircut, and they became short-haired, flat-headed, flat-headed, or bald-headed.
In the army, you can have short hair, but you can't have long hair, and all troops who go to the battlefield have shaved their heads!
Housekeeping, making the beds, and neatly folding the military quilts issued are not a problem for soldiers, but a problem for officers.
According to the military system, middle and low-level officers no longer have orderlies to serve them, and senior officers still have orderlies, but even high-ranking officers fold quilts by themselves!
Then carry out formation and queue training, standing in a military posture, this is the compulsory training content of the Southeast Army, whether it is infantry, cavalry, navy, marines, all have a part, according to the leader, a soldier must look like a soldier!
This is also a big challenge for the officers and men of the cavalry division!
Seeing the pacesetters of a platoon who came to demonstrate, standing in a horizontal line, vertically in a line, and diagonally in a line, the officers and men of the cavalry division were stunned!
No need to say, practice!
The training subjects officially began, including physical training, equipment training, battlefield first aid, ordnance training, and cavalry combat training.
Among them, the cavalry training program was compiled while training, and was jointly compiled by the four division commanders Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zhou Quanbin, and Robni.
Including the domestication of war horses, cavalry slashing training, cavalry marching training, cavalry combat training, etc., the tactics of cavalry are also being perfected.
The officers of the Jinzhou Army have made great efforts in the compilation of this textbook, and they are the experts!
"To fight a cavalry, you must first be able to ride a horse, obey discipline in formation, charge, and cut people, which is the primary task of cavalry!"
"Bow and arrow shooting is about speed, so practice it often!" Zu Dashou said, the bow and hitting three hearts!
"Our army's standard bow is good!" Zu Dashou said that now the Southeast Army has also included bows and arrows in the military procurement project, but only cavalry use them, and the rest still use back guns.
Everyone envied Zu Dashou's good level of bows and arrows, but Zu Dashou said: "Using bows and arrows is an emergency, and the tactical research of dragoons against enemy cavalry should be strengthened!" ”
The dragoons faced the enemy cavalry, and the response was to dismount and line up in a spear formation, and if the enemy cavalry dared to formally attack, there was a great possibility of defeat.
Because the range of the smoothbore gun is much longer than that of the bow and arrow, and the archer will be soft if he shoots multiple arrows, while the musketeer will not have a problem reloading.
It is important that the dragoons accompanied them often with marching guns!
These are mass killers, they can fire shotguns, and can severely destroy the dense formations of cavalry charges.
The horses sent by the southeast province were not very satisfactory, they were relatively short, and they were barely used.
Of course, not every day they are on the training ground, but they also have to conduct political study, so that the officers and men can know the nature, purpose, and tasks of the Southeast Army, and understand the reason for whom to resist guns; in the years to come, everyone will understand how "political study" is a torturous thing, and it is also necessary to learn legal knowledge, protect themselves with the law, abide by the law, and not violate the law.
The "Anti-Secession Law of the Southeast Province" is a key point of study, and all public officials have the obligation and responsibility to maintain the unity of the Southeast Province.
"In other words, if you find anyone who conducts separatist propaganda, you have the right to arrest him, and this is the right given to everyone by the leader, otherwise, any public official who conducts separatist propaganda and activities will be dismissed from public office and held legally responsible!" So said the instructor.
"Respect the leader and his family, the leader is sacrosanct, whoever dares to violate the dignity of the leader, you have to arrest whom, after all, your bowl of rice is given to you by the leader, whoever gives you food, we will listen to whom!" The instructor's reasoning is explained to everyone as soon as it is said.
Singing is to be carried out at night, and the loud and loud military songs are a major feature of the Southeast Mansion, such as "Jing Loyal to the Country" is often sung, and "Killing the Tartars" is also sung by the cavalry division.
After three months of training, the officers and men of the cavalry division were reborn and initially formed a situation of moving closer to the southeast province, so the leader Yan Changwu appeared and held a grand ceremony to present the military flag, announcing that the 2nd and 3rd cavalry divisions had become an army!
