The rules in the barracks are very strict, and alcohol is strictly prohibited, even the 100 general level does not dare to drink secretly.

Many people have to crawl out of the wine bugs, and this time they enjoy a pot of wine, and the happiest thing is naturally the group of people who drink on weekdays.

Good wine and meat, a day off, for the banner army who usually train extremely hard, this is really an imperial amnesty.

In addition, there was a large amount of food distributed as a pickaxe, which made everyone rejoice.

"At the end of this battle, the fight was good, but there were not many problems exposed."

After returning to the official hall, Min Yuanqi sat beside him all the military attachés above the deputy hundred generals, including Min Qiande, Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding, etc., in addition to Min Qiande's calm demeanor, the two foreign hundred households were a little uneasy.

This is the first time that they have been brought with them a little bit.

"You don't have to be upset." Min Yuanqi said a word first, and then turned his head to the two hundred households and said: "After this battle, if the Nanjing Military Department, the Governor of Fengyang, the Governor, and Huaiyang Dao, regardless of which layer I am promoted, these brothers at the bottom must also be hundreds of households, try hundreds of households, and the most unfortunate is also the general banner, and then they will be colleagues with the two uncles." ”

Only then did Li Dingguo and Wang Sanyi vaguely understand...... The person in front of me is afraid that the entire Cloud Ladder Pass will be cleaned next.

The clansmen of the Li family, irrelevant, uninteresting, I am afraid that they will have to be cleaned for a round, and the entire Dahewei has more than 10,000 people and 5,000 households, and the Min family and Min Yuanqi can't eat it all at once, but first eat the Yunti Pass, with the strength of Min Yuanqi in his hands now, whether it is prestige or officialdom connections, or the strength and financial resources in his hands, it is enough.

I am afraid that most of the ten hundred households in Yunti Pass will be cleaned, leaving Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding, of course, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, at least not to sweep away all the old people in a short period of time.

It's not impossible to do this, whether it's the high-level of Dahewei, or Huaiyangdao, or the left and right governors of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, Tongzhi, no one wants to pay attention to such a thing at this moment, and Min Yuanqi will not let go of it, and no one will come to take advantage of him and the Min family.

It can only be said that the Min family acts, after all, it is a family that has been inherited for more than 200 years, and if it is time to make a move, it should be left with one step, and it is still necessary to leave one step after all.

Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding were fortunate at this time, but they were also a little afraid, and they were faintly afraid.

Prior to this, they exchanged their official positions and the banner army of hundreds of households under their command for certain benefits in the hands of Min Yuanqi. On the construction site, their rights were gradually deprived, whether it was the trained flag army or the salt workers in the salt pond, or the handymen on the construction site, technically Liu De and others were in charge, and the work and salary counting, including daily management, were the business of Zhuwen and others.

Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding originally secretly complained, and even secretly calculated a few times, intending to mention it to Min Yuanqi and take back some power.

Now it seems that the two of them are too naïve after all.

Min Yuanqi simply explained two sentences, whether it is a hundred households, a hundred households, or a chief flag officer, in fact, it can be regarded as a reward and encouragement for the soldiers under his command, it is not of much significance, after all, it still depends on the performance in the barracks.

And the strength of the flag army is the cornerstone for Min Yuanqi and the military attaches under his command to continue to rise.

"Tell everybody." Min Yuanqi already had quite a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't rush to say it, but looked at everyone with encouraging eyes.

"Then I'll start with that." Min Yuan said bluntly: "We can see the power of the cavalry assault today, whether it is the threat of flanking and disturbing the enemy's position, so that the enemy has to spend a lot of energy and manpower to defend the flank with the threat of cavalry, or rushing to kill the enemy, chasing the fleeing enemy, and breaking up the enemy's array, the cavalry is incomparable. Our thousand headquarters can be composed of eight infantry and three cavalry, so that the infantry and cavalry can almost cooperate and coordinate, and the entire thousand headquarters has the strength to fight against tens of thousands of rogue troops! ”

I have to say that Min Yuanzhi is worthy of being a general of the family, and his study as a teenager did not make him ignorant of military affairs, and he has been exposed to military affairs since he was a child, and he has participated in a real battle in a short time in the camp for a short time, and he has his own clear opinions and views on the coordination and composition of the troops.

To Min Yuanzhi's words, everyone nodded slightly, and everyone could see the power of the cavalry, if it was said that if it was necessary to form a thousand headquarters with a complete battle sequence, it was not necessary to learn from Qi Jiguang or a thousand generals of the northern border army, and there was no need to stick to the rules. Moreover, the composition of the thousand headquarters is not completely consistent, some thousand headquarters are about 1,100 to 300 people, some of the thousand generals from big families, there may be two or three hundred people in the family alone, and some thousand headquarters, even the family Ding with battalion soldiers is only three or four hundred, so it really does not have to abide by the original battalion system.

Even Min Yuanqi also feels quite reasonable, if according to Min Yuanzhi's suggestion, the cavalry reaches between 360 and 400 people, plus eight infantry with a total of more than 1,000 people, and there are also the herald flag team, the direct guard flag team or the guard general, as well as the Zhenfu flag team and the baggage general, the number of a thousand headquarters may be about 1,600 to 1,800 people, which is almost enough to carry out independent combat tasks.

If according to Min Yuanqi's conception, sooner or later in the future, artillery will have to be cast, plus a 1,000-unit artillery team, six to eight or even 10 small artillery pieces, a 1,000-based headquarters of more than 2,000 people, and a battalion of 3,000 headquarters plus directly subordinate personnel is about 7,000 to 8,000 people, this kind of battalion Min Yuanqi feels more reasonable.

There are only two or three thousand people under the command of a general soldier, and most of them are lack of training, insufficient food, and poor equipment, not to mention armor, weapons, shields, bows and arrows, etc., even the military robes are tattered battalion cannon fodder. Even if there are quite a large number of generals at the rank of deputy general of the general army, they can only engage in small-scale engagements, relying on the bravery of the cavalry to carry out the engagements.

Small-scale battles are okay, the families of several generals are together, and tens of thousands of rogues may not be opponents. For those who have believed in the Yellow Sect and the Red Sect, and have long lacked iron weapons and no sharp soldiers and heavy armor, the Ming Dynasty's Nine Sides are not bad, at least barely maintaining the stability of the border line.

Harassment is inevitable, after all, the northern captives still have the advantage of cavalry.

It was the last great khan of Chahar, Lin Dan Khan, who was driven by thousands of Jurchen cavalry to flee all over the grassland, and the cavalry composed of tens of thousands of herdsmen gathered could make the Ming army embarrassed, and the Datong and Yulin areas were harassed and attacked by the remnants of Lin Dan Khan, and the Ming army was powerless to resist.

Judging from the above situation, Min Yuanzhi's views and opinions are quite correct.

Heavy troops, heavy battalions, light soldiers, and a considerable number of cavalry must be allocated, so as to compete with the armies of the nomadic and field hunters.

Of course, Min Yuanzhi definitely didn't think about it so much and far-reaching, he just started from the reality of today's war, in fact, this summed it up quite well.

"What Yuan Zhi said is very true." Min Yuanzhong frowned and said: "It's just that we have collected a few hundred households nearby who are good at riding horses, and we haven't even let go of the mule riders." Where do we go to find a few hundred people who can ride horses? ”

Min Yuan straightened his back and said with blazing eyes: "What Brother Yuan Zhong said is, but things must have difficulties, if there are difficulties, give up, then how can we have such a big situation in front of us?" I'm still studying, Brother Yuan Qi and Han Zongqi should take turns to go north to Cao, you are either on the boat, or you are going to the nearby market towns, cities, and counties to carry jobs in this spring famine. The misery of each family is unspeakable......"

The expressions on everyone's faces became ugly, Min Yuan was telling the truth, but hearing the truth also made everyone dissatisfied.

"What I mean is ......" Min Yuanzhi had no scruples, and didn't care about other people's faces at all, and then people realized that this kid was not unscrupulously mocking everyone because of his identity as the son of a thousand households, but on a case-by-case basis.

"We can't stick to the rules, now you are all 100 presidents, deputy 100 presidents, the future is 100 households, try 100 households, the general flag, and even in the future, we adults will be promoted, everyone may be in the position of deputy thousand households, thousands of households, we can get these, and it is not the adults who fight hard to face difficulties? If you have a problem, just find a way to solve it! ”

Min Yuanqi laughed when he heard it, and the Yuan Zhi in front of him was as his name, full of sharpness, fierce and direct.

However, what he said was also reasonable, and at that moment Min Yuanqi said with a smile: "What Yuan Zhi said is very true, as long as the main purpose is right, you have to work this, and the difficulties are solved step by step." Huai'an Zhu family, I have entrusted them to buy a large number of war horses. Even if we can't buy tens of thousands of horses, buying more than 1,000 horses is enough for us to form a few cavalry generals, and I am afraid that we can still do it. In addition, there are actually a lot of war horses in Nanjing and Huguang, as long as the silver is enough, you can buy some one after another. There is no shortage of war horses, and the next step is to solve the problem of cavalry, and my idea is that it will take months or even a year to recruit people first, and then select people to train, and it will almost be able to gallop on horses and use riding spears to stab. As for the stronger cavalry, it is true that it is not something that can be trained in a year or two of hard work, so let's think about this problem more and see if we can use the cavalry better with our financial, material and human resources. ”

Everyone was in thought for a moment, but after a moment they all gave up.

The cavalry is either born in a family of generals, how to train the cavalry, how to use it, what arrays to use, what terrain and climatic conditions to use, and what equipment, these knowledge is quite complicated, you have to immerse yourself in learning from an early age, and after many actual battles, you will get some real things.

There are not many people who are good at riding and fighting.

The He family, the You family, the Ma family, including some Jiangmen families in Jizhen, are actually quite good at small-scale riding battles.

The generals of Jizhen and Liaozhen are best at taking a few hundred and one or two thousand elite cavalry to the grassland to attack thousands of miles to cut down the herdsmen.

The disadvantage is that the generals of the Ming army are only good at small-scale cavalry warfare, and in the face of large-scale battles of tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, the shortcomings of the Ming army's dispersion and lack of large-scale cavalry warfare will be exposed.

Even if it is Min Yuanzhi, a young man, and some family heritage, but with an inner town guard like Dahewei, he is afraid that only some fur will be left in the cavalry, and if he wants to really have his own things, he is afraid that he still has to go through many actual battles.
