Chapter 222
Xu Zixian's only feeling was that the number of people in each army was too small, and the Wei system of four battalions and more than 2,000 people in one army was actually changed to six battalions per army with more than 3,000 people.
There are more than 3,000 people in each army, and if they are trained to be elite, they can take charge on the ancient battlefield, and 2,000 people, after all, is still a little little.
Or in the future, when there are cavalry, an army of 3,000 people mixed with infantry and cavalry can exert quite strong combat effectiveness.
Each compartment can be expanded from 20,000 to about 30,000 people, and an old qualified compartment is commanded by Ren Tai Lieutenant and commands two or three compartments, which is the scale of 50,000 to 100,000 people, and it can be completely independent.
It's still too early to say, and it's enough to train according to the current formation.
In each capital, there is a trumpeter, a piper, two drummers, a gong player, a standard-bearer, a doctor's name, and a medical assistant.
Originally, there were no doctors, Xu Zixian specially visited a large number of Jinchuang doctors, and now there is also a doctor in each, as well as a medical assistant.
From the army, the team, to the whistle, the capital, the battalion, the whole school field is in order, more than 3,000 people stand into three large character type, each character has a number of small arrays, long ridges, barrier knives, shields, bows and arrows, the hierarchy is clear, all after changing the green cloth jacket, the whole school field seems to be occupied by the green tide, only one by one red flag, like the embellishment in the green tide.
Chen Zhengzhi followed Xu Zi to watch it for a while, and finally said sincerely: "Mingda's ability to train soldiers far exceeds that of King Qi, not to mention King Zhao." The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has more than 100,000 troops, and if it really fights, I am afraid that it may not be the enemy of thousands of Nan'an regiments. ”
"That's going too far." Xu Zixian said with a smile: "The recruits have only just learned to stand, physical fitness, technical fighting, queues, swords, bows and arrows, horseback riding, water fighting, and it takes at least half a year to be qualified, and it is still very early." ”
The old warriors are still practicing the art of formation fighting, and Qin Dongyang and the others often have some new ideas to train the old warriors, how to assault faster, and keep the big formation in a large formation under different terrains.
How to cooperate with a large formation in a small formation, how to outflank the two wings, how to stabilize the position, how to play the crossbowmen in what kind of terrain, long-range with short-range, the timing of the white-knuckle assault, and how to coordinate the infantry and cavalry with the other two wings.
It will take quite a long time to rehearse these ideas one by one, form mature tactics, and then compile them into a book and record them to form a training outline.
For Xu Zixian, there is no magic plan to fight, what is the defeat into victory, the clumsy victory by skill, and the victory of the weak over the strong. The Nan'an regimental training in the first battle of Jiangtan was only a numerical disadvantage, and from beginning to end, Xu Zixian did not feel that he was in a position of being weak and strong.
If you put yourself in a weak position, there are so many tricks and tricks, and fighting a war is nothing more than the determination and training of soldiers, who are familiar with various geographical environments, can quickly adapt to the environment, spread out the array, and defeat the enemy with the tactics of ordinary training. As for the strategic level, it is something that Xu Zi has to consider first, and the soldiers of the regimental training are thinking about defeating the enemy with different tactics in one battle after another.
Better equipment, sharper weapons, better logistics, warmer robes, and better welfare benefits are the foundation of a strong army, and the rest is to insist on continuous tactical training every day, and the more sweat thrown, the less blood will flow on the battlefield.
Xu Zixian insisted on this truth, he didn't want to be a famous general who created miracles, what he had to do was to do the things at hand in a down-to-earth manner, and complete the goals he wanted to complete step by step.
"Time slowed down?" Chen Zhengzhi said with some concern.
"The water camp can be used, at least half a year." Xu Zixian was quite persistent, and he didn't have the desire to discuss more, he had talked too much in the past few days.
On the school field on the other side, the old warriors are training, quite clever.
In the school field, a table was built into a high platform, and a team of soldiers used their arm strength and waist strength to hold weapons lightly and skillfully, and climbed over the table more than ten meters high.
"I've been doing obstacle courses lately." Xu Zixian said to Chen Zhengzhi: "It will take two months for recruits to train in the queue, recognize the flag, and listen to the golden drum gong to identify the advance and retreat." ”
Chen Zhengzhi said with a smile: "It only takes ten days for the Xiang Army. ”
"That's why they're the rabble." Xu Zixian sneered: "Ancient and modern famous generals, unheard of and uncontrolled orders, do not use the golden drum banner to fight the winners." The order is forbidden, thousands of people advance and retreat like one person, the eyes only look at the flag, the ears only listen to the drums, and the night looks at the double lights, so that the shooting will be shot, the order will stop, and the front will have no distractions, so it can be used. The old pawn focuses on various tactical drills, big brother, can't be in a hurry. ”
Chen Zhengzhi nodded silently, planning to find a few familiar newspaper writers after returning to Fucheng, and publish Xu Zixian's words on the newspaper word for word, so as to carry out a counterattack against the recent unfavorable public opinion.
The prestige of the Changwen Marquis Mansion in the press and the gentry, and the student group, the Nan'an Marquis Mansion can't compare with the horses, and the pressure of public opinion has not been small recently, but Xu Zixian and Chen Zhengzhi don't pay much attention to it, the imperial court has its own law, and a defense envoy who has not yet taken office has not yet taken office, why should he come up to fight against thieves? is not in line with reason, public opinion only hurts Xu Zixian's reputation, which is the most worrying place.
"There's no hurry." Xu Zixian smiled and said: "As soon as the soldiers and horses are successful, the public opinion will change." The group discussion is turbulent, and it looks terrifying, but in fact, they have no brains, and people whose own brains are controlled by others are also easy to be swayed by us, and the public opinion formed by such people does not need to be too concerned. But ......"
Xu Zixian's eyes showed coldness, and he said slowly: "The person with a heart who fueled the troubles behind him will definitely be rewarded in the future." ”
Of course, this is talking about King Zhao, now that the Pu family has shrunk and does not care about foreign affairs, except for business dealings, there is almost nothing to show up for Pu Shougao, and the relationship with Lin Douyao also tends to ease, after all, Xu Zixian saved Han Zhong's life in Jingshi, and Han Zhong's party has no serious conflicts or interest trends, and will no longer take the initiative to embarrass Nan'an Houfu.
Prior to this, Xu Zi was a prince to be attacked, and his status was insignificant.
Now he is a powerful official with heavy troops, and he is also the Marquis of Great Wei from the second rank, and his rank and rank official positions are not low, and he is already a member of the important ministers in Fuzhou, and an important role in the clan.
If such a person is not sure of a single blow, it is better not to provoke him, so as not to invite severe retaliation.
That is, King Zhao, dare to provoke disgusting things without anything, Xu Zixian has not had much way to fight back for a while, if the counterattack is excessive, he will be accused of Xu Zixian not talking about the friendship of relatives, and the following crimes, in terms of common sense and power, Nan'an Hou Mansion is now at an absolute disadvantage.
"Forget it, forget it, that is, small means, small tricks, it is not a big use, it can be seen that King Zhao is also poor in donkey skills." Chen Zhengzhi said: "You can ask King Qi to come forward and persuade King Zhao to tell him not to go too far." Mingda, no matter what you do, you will not be forgiven by the times, so you should swallow your anger. ”
Xu Zixian's eyes showed essence, of course he didn't want to be patient, but in reality, it seems that patience is the best choice?
……
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Qi."
This time, Xu Zi arrived first, but King Qi greeted the second gate, that is, before the Yimen behind the shadow wall.
Previously, Xu Zi came to the palace of the king of Qi first, and his identity was only the prince of Nan'an, and he only had the rank number of the general, but this time he came, but he had a number of official positions on his body, including the Marquis of Great Wei, who was in charge of the political positions of the horse all the way, and his identity was different, and the etiquette of the king of Qi was of course completely different.
In addition to the king of Qi, the chief of the palace, Sima and other officials also wore official robes to greet each other, and everyone saluted each other, Xu Zixian saluted, and the king of Qi also returned half a salute.
"Mingda has done a great job in Beijing." The change in identity and status did not affect the smile on King Qi's face, it was still gentle and kind, and there was no lack of severity, he said to Xu Zixian: "It's really nonsense!" ”
"There's no way." Xu Zixian smiled with a relaxed expression: "If you find that trace of vitality in the dead game, if you don't catch it, I'm afraid there will be no chance to stand in front of His Highness now and tell the past, and the best result is also to be banned in the high wall of Jiangling." ”
"Can you honestly tie your hands down?" King Qi seemed to have a smile on his face, and said to Xu Zixian: "There is a letter from the right minister, saying that you have encouraged the king to go to the mansion of Han Xianggong, this is really a wonderful hand, which is amazing." ”
Xu Zixian felt a little embarrassed, and the worst conclusion was, of course, to follow Wang Zhi to the sea and fall into the grass, telling him to give up everything and hope in life, and wait for death in the high wall, how could it be?
Don't say that when the Great Wei was strong, the high wall was more miserable than dead, a few years later, the Donghu people entered the country, and the Great Wei clan adopted an attitude of killing everything, and the clan in the high wall could not run away, he wanted to go to the high wall of Jiangling to see the hell, counting down the days and waiting to be killed, it was really a bad brain to be caught.
King Qi didn't want to say more on this topic, everyone entered the second gate together, entered the main hall to speak, and after greeting Changshi Sima and others, they also retreated, so that the two uncles and nephews could speak more freely.
"Qizhou's upper, middle and lower three village commands, the upper village commander has gone to work, needless to say, the middle village and the lower village actually have the most garrisons, the two village commanders are all at the level of control, Zhongzhai Li Xingwu, once Zhangzhou City Garrison Commander Officer, Xia Zhai Dong Ruixiang, once Fuzhou City Defense Commander, Jiangfang Battalion Commandery, follow me for many years, can be good at fighting, but not good at flattery, more than ten years ago in charge of the capital, now it is only the capital of the system."
Xu Zixian nodded slightly and wrote down the names of the two people.
It is easy for officers in the box army system to be promoted in the early days, and the box army is also based on the team, sentinel, capital, and battalion as the basic unit.
The river defense battalions and city garrison camps everywhere are actually a collection of several box military camps, ranging in number from more than 1,000 to more than 2,000, or even more than 3,000.
The garrison of each village is also the Xiang army, such as in the defense of the Eastern Domain, Chen Duzhong, almost all of the subordinates led by the Xiang army, the command of the Xiang army in this kind of military village, the position from the capital to the system.
However, the generals of the Xiang army are basically at the end of their promotion to the command of the capital, and it is absolutely impossible to transfer to official positions such as deputy envoy of Xuanfu, deputy envoy of control, and deputy envoy of defense.
The generals of the forbidden army can go up to the top to command the envoys, deputy envoys, and all Yu Hou, all of whom are generals in charge of the army and have a high status.
Or turn to a civilian position, and go straight to the defense envoy, the propaganda envoy, and the system envoy.
No matter how much meritorious service the Xiang army has, how deep the qualifications are, it is quite difficult to transfer to civilian positions, and the military positions are in charge of the city and the battalions, and the Jiangfang battalion and other battalions are all under control, and the Xiang army is under the control of the five-grade military position, and the command of the forbidden army is that it can be hung from the second grade to manage the officer's position, or the third grade, and can also be a captain, and it is the highest military position that can faintly compete with the ruler.
