Chapter 444: The Law of Military Training

Since coming over, I have been understanding the problem, and the final harvest is huge, unconsciously, it is getting late, and the officers who came from Baozhou, after introducing Di Qing and Miaojiazhuang, left a few attachés, and then went back.

Di Qing didn't care about this, and even refused the hospitality of the group trainers in the evening.

When I came here, I have gained a lot of money, and I have learned a lot of key things about the fortress, and these things, even if a fortress is placed in front of me, it is not something that can be studied in a short period of time.

One or two meals of wine and meat, for these high-ranking generals, they don't care at all, and in this poor and remote place, there is no way to gain more, such as delicacies from the mountains and seas.

They took the initiative to pay for some of the food and drinks, and after a simple little food, they continued their research.

From the group training, all the important things of the fortress have been understood, and the rest will be integrated.

Di Qing did the opposite, in the evening, he specially entertained the militia captains, after he was full of wine and food, he took the initiative to ask another question, the question of the longbow.

The things of the fortress have been obtained too much from Miaojiazhuang, and many things, and even these militia groups do not know much about all this, so it is better to study them carefully.

Miaojiazhuang is a magical place, in Di Qing's opinion, unless you go to Dinghai and see Dinghaihou, you can gain more.

Dinghai is a border military state, or a different place from ordinary border military states, where is close to the sea, and other borders in the past, it is different.

Such a very special place, the smart Di Qing knew very well that he would not easily come into contact with the Dinghai Navy, so it was the most suitable choice to get enough experience from Miaojiazhuang.

Di Qing's purpose is very simple, the longbow and the fortress are the cornerstones that support the border defense of the Northern Song Dynasty, but once the Privy Council decides to attack the Liao State, these generals will lead troops to attack the Liao State.

Then the longbow is the core thing in it, which can be seen from the training of the militia group, but Di Qing is worried, will this training give full play to the role of the longbow?

Although a person does not know how high the grade is, but for the militia group, he is also a very high official, but he is kind to them, this kind of kindness is simply the grace of acquaintance for ordinary people.

Of course, they have to do everything they can to tell everything they know.

With previous experience, Di Qing also knew that it was better to let them summarize and say, and let them narrate, from the very beginning of training to the final formation, to tell a little.

Di Qing faintly felt that in the longbow, there should be some secrets, these were told by Dinghai Hou, but because of the training and dissemination, what was missed, this is what he was looking for.

I have to say that Di Qing's opportunity to seize is very good, 2 of the 5 captains are from the very beginning, 800 group training, the earliest families, all of them are the children of the Miao family, and they are directly taken out, that is, they follow Zhao Xin, of course they can't leave Zhao Xin and stay in Miaojiazhuang.

The original 800 is already the earliest, and there is also a captain among them, the old man of Miaojiazhuang, who has been watching since Zhao Xin and their arrival and the initial training, and under the confirmation of the two, they actually said it very clearly.

When he really looked back, Di Qing realized where he had missed something.

Since Di Qing came into contact with the longbow, he has been thinking about what the training of the longbow is like.

The advantage of the longbow is that it has less strength, to the extent of an ordinary hard bow, in this case, it can be selected with a wider face, and for the Praetorian army, it can be quickly formed.

In the same way, after a brief look, he knew that the most important thing for a longbow was quantity, and sufficient quantity was enough to produce power.

But now, after listening to the story of the leader of the civil team, he realized that he was really wrong.

Yes, quantity is important, but quantity is only a foundation, it is something else.

I am afraid that even Han Qi may not find out about this, because the longbow training of the Privy Council is in the same vein as Han Qi, and the training method of the militia is completely different from what he understands.

Since the time of the construction of the Miaojiazhuang regiment, all the recruit training was not trained according to the method of conduct in the Northern Song Dynasty, but a relatively special method, a method that Di Qing had never heard of.

The military training of the Northern Song Dynasty, on time countless generals, and even after the experience was handed down, what was summed up, he had a heritage, practical, even Di Qing, he could add his own experience to the training, add some emphasis, but the changes from beginning to end, I am afraid he also needed a long time of research to be able to make them, otherwise, rash changes will be chaotic, and it is easy to shake the combat effectiveness.

But this completely strange method, some of which, it seems, has nothing to do with the training of the army, has trained a group of peasants to the present level.

Once, what the militia was like during the Battle of Baozhou, Han Qi couldn't see it, but in the accounts of these militia elders, he knew that the combat effectiveness of the 800 regiments was far higher than what they were now, which was not an exaggeration, but a real data proof.

Now that the team training can ensure the basic 5 breaths and one arrow, it is already good, but in the era of 800 group training, basically, it will reach the speed of 3 breaths.

Of course, the group training didn't know that part of the reason why the group training was so powerful was because of the several resident cards in Zhao Xin's hands, which could improve the strength of the archers, but for another reason, Zhao Xin taught him hand in hand.

In this era, even now, for the understanding of the longbow and the longbow army, Zhao Xin is still the strongest in the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

It is precisely because he has an intuitive awareness of the combat effectiveness of the group training that Di Qing attaches more importance to the original training method, and maybe he can find the secret of the strength of the team training from the middle.

In the process of changing from peasants to soldiers, Miaojiazhuang's regimental training was far faster than that of ordinary forbidden troops.

Except at the beginning, at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, direct conscription into the forbidden army, and later, there was a selection of the forbidden army every year, but in this selection, there were very few direct entry into the forbidden army, most of them were trained and exercised in other troops, and then entered the forbidden army.

The majority of the selection of the real forbidden army should be selected among the box army and the border army, rather than directly from the completely inexperienced conversion, the reason is that the training cycle is too long.

It will take at least half a year to be able to integrate into it, and there is still no combat effectiveness, and those who have not gone to the battlefield know what use it will be on the battlefield.

But this point, in the Miaojiazhuang regiment training this, there is no problem at all, only ten days, to be able to go to the battlefield, maybe in the middle, there is a reason for the fortress, but if there is no basic combat ability, even if it is a fortress, it is difficult to improve.

Not to mention, the rate of fire like 3 breaths, this is not a simple increase, 5 breaths at a time, which is probably a normal speed, like the Privy Council, from hundreds of thousands, concentrated together elite troops, you can achieve a balance of strength and speed, in ordinary troops, you can only choose one.

Even if the forbidden army is the worst, it is countless times better than the regimental training, at the very least, all the personnel of the forbidden army, at the beginning, can draw a stone bow, after the training in the army, physical exercise and food supplement, the combat effectiveness is definitely improved.

In the group training, if you want to find all the bows that can pull out half a stone, I'm afraid it's good, this is still the premise that the northern race is relatively strong, if you change to the south, it will be even worse.

However, even if such a team can still achieve a rate of fire of 3 breaths, this training method is very crucial.

Di Qing hurriedly let the militia tell from beginning to end, while he recorded it beside him.

At the beginning of Zhao Xin's training, all the peasants, after joining the militia group, the first training was queue training.

This queue training seems to have a lot of sweet memories in the heart of the leader of the civilian team, and he even talked about it with great interest, and he just joined the team training jokes.

At that time, he didn't know a single word, and he didn't know what left and right were, so such situations almost abounded.

Hearing his story, Di Qing was also deeply touched, when the forbidden army recruits were training, similar ones abounded, and this was also the most difficult to solve, could it be that Dinghaihou had any way?

As an experienced general, he has also trained many times, but he feels that the thing that is very troublesome is this, only by taking his time, making continuous mistakes, making many mistakes, and when the later training keeps up and gradually forms a reaction, can he be integrated.

But when the regimental training was finished, he was stunned, because Miaojiazhuang provided a simple method, when the recruits were training, let the recruits put on straw shoes on their left foot and cloth shoes on their right foot, and then the straw shoes and cloth shoes could be turned.

Illiterate peasants may not know what the left and right sides are, but straw sandals and cloth shoes always know, as long as this is fixed, then you can form a neat surface, and then gradually write this down.

Sure enough, Di Qing's face showed a hint of understanding, it was indeed a god man, and a simple method could solve the problems that plagued the entire forbidden army, and even the army for hundreds or thousands of years.

The army is a disciplined unit, and a simple queue turn is a method of initial integration, and as long as this integration is carried out, some training can be carried out.

After learning, with this simple method, in the future, when training, you can integrate this simple method, which will at least speed up the integration of recruits.

The first method is so amazing, which also makes Di Qing full of confidence, but the next training surprised him, it is not training, but an internal affairs inspection, this part of the inspection contains a lot of things, housekeeping, quilting, personal hygiene, and even everyone, how often to take a shower, are clearly expressed.

This may seem out of place, and in the art of war as a whole, very little attention is paid to the individual problems of the soldier. For example, some people don't like to take a bath, it's hard to let him take a bath forcibly, and some people like to take a bath, it's hard not to let him take a bath.

These are some personal problems, even in the military, some privacy issues, it is impossible to get involved too deeply, in case of some adverse effects, it will eventually affect the morale of the military.

In the group exercise, these were not shown, and this requirement, at the beginning, there were certain twists and turns, but soon, under Zhao Xin's strength, people got used to it.

Di Qing also asked a lot on this issue, and these group exercises were not clear, so he could only passively retell Zhao Xin's narration.

For example, Zhao Xin said that the discipline, from the first lesson of the army, he is different from an ordinary peasant, he is a soldier, so all-round requirements.

Whether it is queue training or housekeeping training, it seems that the focus of each is different, but this is to improve discipline from all aspects, so that a peasant, in a short period of time, from a peasant to a soldier.

Di Qing didn't understand why internal affairs were also related to discipline, these were no longer something that the militia could answer, he could only be at a loss, but the discipline of the militia was a certainty.

However, some other side explanations have made him quite insightful, and he has even gained a lot, just like the fortress, he has gained a lot.

Internal affairs, for example, have a practical role in addition to further strengthening the discipline of soldiers.

Personal hygiene is combined with the entire army health regulations, from the army as a whole, the barracks, drinking water and food, to personal hygiene, this is an overall health management, pay attention to this, for safety, epidemic disease is a huge killer of the army, these are related to sanitary conditions, as well as clean water, has a lot to do with it.

These are all things that Di Qing has never come into contact with, and in the middle, Zhao Xin also gave an example, why the miasma disease in the south is relatively high, because the south is humid, and all kinds of organisms grow more, and those things that cannot be seen by the eyes are the root cause of these epidemics.

As long as you use boiling water, and you have mastered all aspects, it is almost difficult to adapt to the water and soil in an unfamiliar place.

This is something that has not been verified, but it is a method, the Northern Song Dynasty is so big, it may not necessarily be in the north, in case it gets to the south, these may be very cumbersome, but as long as you pay attention, it should be able to be solved, which is also an unexpected gain for Di Qing.
