Chapter Seventy-Four: The New Army
"The new army, the new army I want must not be the same as the previous guard!"
Chongzhen feels that the health center system has a good side, but there are also many problems.
Emperor Taizu Hongwu not only wanted to prevent the situation of secession of feudal towns in the former Tang Dynasty, but also wanted to solve the disadvantages of the lack of combat power of the army in the Song Dynasty, so he created the guard system.
During the reign of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Chengzu, it was these soldiers of the guards who chased the north all the way, pressing the empire as strong as Mengyuan under their feet.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty who messed up good things was once again reflected in the guard system - the guard system was eroded all the way, and in the period of Emperor Yingzong, even the Beijing division was almost lost, and even Emperor Yingzong was taken to the grassland by the Wara Department on the grassland.
In the Chongzhen period, even if the current guards are stronger than the double spearmen of Mites, I am afraid that they are only limited.
Nowadays, the guards of the Ming Dynasty are not like professional soldiers, but more like farmers who farm the land, or tenants of the generals of the guards.
In comparison, what Chongzhen admires most is the professional army of the rabbit family turtle army, which was later known as the quilt army.
Although the army of the turtle that planted the flower family in later generations was ridiculed by the rabbits of their own family as a turtle without soil, with a combat effectiveness of five, it has always appeared in people's field of vision as the image of the soil slag, but the combat effectiveness of the turtle is not underestimated - at least as one of the five hooligans, it is just over the other four big hooligans.
The only time in history that the United Nations dispatched the so-called United Nations troops was in the hands of this turtle army, which was still millet and rifles at that time. After the First World War in Korea, the embarrassed United Nations army simply changed its name to the peacekeeping force, and the so-called United Nations army has never appeared since.
Far away, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the turtle army rabbit, from the perspective of its military and civilian fish and water conditions alone, it is also not to kill the armies of other countries.
Whether it is a flood or an earthquake, as long as there is danger, there will inevitably be a camouflage green with slag on the body, and the reaction of the people is, lying down, the army rabbit is coming, you can rest assured - the people of the rabbit family never have to worry about someone driving five pairs of wheels and coming to the disaster with live ammunition when there is a flood and earthquake.
Of course, this is the military rabbit of the flower grower in later generations, but what about the Ming Dynasty?
"Run, hide it! The army is coming! "It's just fucking like a devil entering the village.
At that time, or before the turtle army, it was not a joke to be like a comb and a soldier to be like a grate, especially the guest army.
The local army still takes into account a trace of the incense of the villagers or the rabbit has the habit of not eating the grass by the nest, although it will also be a disaster to the local people, but the foreign guest army Qiu Ba does not have this scruples, and the local disaster is even more ruthless.
Since Chongzhen knows how awesome the combat effectiveness of the army is in the later generations, his goal is very clear, what he wants is this kind of army that cannot be dragged down, cannot be defeated, and can be integrated with the people.
In Chongzhen's eyes, the army should be an efficient killing machine, a violent institution in the imperial system that is responsible for dealing with all unstable factors, and farming is a joke in itself. An army that is not a professional soldier cannot be called an army at all, and it is more appropriate to call it regimental training or village bravery.
Therefore, Chongzhen said to Liu Xingzuo: "I have limited knowledge about military affairs, but I still have to make a few requests.
First, they will not rob food if they starve to death, they will not demolish their houses if they freeze to death, and they will not take a stitch from the people.
Throughout the history books, the army of Wei Yue Wumu can be called a hundred victories, and I think that its military discipline must have its merits.
Being a soldier is not only to eat the emperor's food, but also to protect the family and the country, and to protect the parents, wives and children after resting, so this military discipline must be vigorously grasped.
Second, it is still military discipline. As the saying goes, military orders are like mountains, and once the military orders come out, no matter what is in front of you, you have to go to the place. As long as there is no order to withdraw troops from the rear, it is to fight to the last man, and it is not allowed to take half a step back.
In this way, it is the kind of strong army that I want in my heart that cannot be dragged down or defeated. ”
Liu Xingzuo heard the words and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true. The art of war is cloudy, aggression is like fire, and immobility is like a mountain, which is what we are talking about is this military discipline. On the battle array, the drums were heard, and Mingjin retreated. If you are a finger, you can win all battles.
It's just that the minister still has some questions. If you abandon the sword and rely on the musket alone, I am afraid that it will still be difficult to defeat the enemy. After all, the speed of the Jiannu cavalry is extremely fast, and if Jiannu rushes into the military formation, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Chongzhen smiled and said, "In addition to guns, aren't there still cannons?"
In addition to the cannon, wouldn't it be nice to study some that are closer than muskets, but also have stronger lethality?
What's more, on top of this musket, it is still possible to add a short-edged bayonet, and if there is an enemy in close quarters, you can also fight the enemy with a bayonet, right?
Qing Ke went to find Ji Xiao's new book to see, and there are many methods for the application of firearms in battle formations, and I also think it is true.
I thought that as long as the logistics could keep up, there was nothing to worry about.
However, you have to deal with Xu Aiqing well, and your equipment in the future will be developed by their Royal Academy. ”
After laughing, Chongzhen continued: "In addition, in this new army, only good families are recruited.
Anyone who has a person in the family who is in business, someone in the family who is an official, and who has experience as a official, will not be accepted.
All those who are admitted must be checked for three generations, and they must be the children of innocent farmers who have cultivated for three generations before they can be admitted.
As for the investigation of the three generations, Liu Aiqing can find Jinyi Weitian Ergeng for help, and he must take care of it. ”
"As the saying goes, a soldier is a bear, and a nest of bears will be bearish, I entrust the affairs of this new army to Liu Aiqing, Liu Aiqing must not let me down."
When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he knelt down on one knee and said in the middle of the march: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations, once there is a bad pool, the minister is willing to come to see him!" ”
When Liu Xingzuo and Xu Guangqi left the palace, Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The things in his mind were almost exhausted, and he even broke the national flag class and the military parade with Liu Xingzuo and talked about it in pieces.
There are more things, where do you know so much as a programming ape, and you are not a national defense graduate.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen's life is really not good, or this Ming scholar is really not a little worry-free.
The news from Jinyiwei's Tian Er Cultivation Department made Emperor Chongzhen furious again, and he raised the butcher knife in his hand again.
It's just that this time the butcher's knife is aimed at those scholars in Jiangnan.
