3rd * Preliminary Training * (*)
After thinking about this problem, Duan Xing then turned his attention to the training of the army, and with yesterday's experience, Duan Xing remembered that when he was a student in his previous life, he had seen the relevant introduction in the book, explaining how the army, especially the local army, was vulnerable, and even, some experts who studied the history of the Ming Dynasty explained that the dynasty was actually the third north-south dynasty in Chinese history, that is, the era of the division of the north and the south. At that time, Duan Xing didn't think so, but now he saw with his own eyes that the soldiers looked listless, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and couldn't even stand in line, he couldn't help but be startled, and thought: What the expert said is really true, with such military appearance and military discipline, how can he go to war. It is no wonder that the combat effectiveness is so low that it is about to collapse at the touch of a button, and it is no wonder that Qi Jiguang, a famous general in this period, wanted to form a new army composed of Yiwu farmers and miners to resist the Japanese and build the Great Wall. Of course, this is not the fault of the soldiers, because in the early years of Hongwu, a large number of warlike generals were involved in the unjust cases of Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu and were beaten into tricks, so that they died unjustly. Coupled with the Yongle Dynasty's large-scale purge, reinforcing and massacring the former ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had the problem of incompetent generals since the founding of the country, and the armament and non-commissioned officer training were gradually abolished.
How can we change the current situation? Duan Xing was speechless about this. But he didn't say anything. He knew that in this era, the hereditary military households and the long-term absence of war caused the soldiers to neglect training, resulting in fewer and fewer soldiers with combat effectiveness, and the salaries, uniforms and other materials could not be distributed on time, which made the soldiers dissatisfied. At the same time, there are often cases where local officials deduct military salaries, military rations, and bereavement expenses. Thinking of this, Duan Xing used his original memory to learn that his remote 100 households had not been paid enough food and military uniforms for several years, and the soldiers complained, Duan Xing was also very unhappy in his heart, and secretly scolded the officials in charge of military supplies. Duan Xing complained in his heart, and then thought: "Since the military salary cannot be solved for a while, let's solve the problem of training first." To be honest, although Duan Xing received military training in later generations, he knew almost nothing about how to train soldiers and arrange troops in ancient times. However, when he was in school in later life, he liked history the most, and of course he knew that the army paid attention to the implementation of orders and prohibitions, and the unity of orders, in order to win wars. Thinking of this, Duan Xing couldn't help but feel a headache, and complained in his heart. But thinking of his responsibility, Duan Xing still held back, but his brows still furrowed. When the soldiers in the audience saw Duan Xing not saying a word, frowning, they suddenly showed fear on their faces, and they didn't know where they had provoked this adult, and suddenly, Duan Xing seemed to think of something, slowly raised his head, and said to the soldiers very majestically: "Listen down, everyone is scattered in place and stand straight." As soon as the words fell, the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stood up one by one in a panic.
Duan Xing looked at the crooked and various postures of the soldiers in the audience, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head and sigh, feeling very worried. I thought to myself: Can I take on the responsibility of training a strong army? How can you survive better in this era full of sorrows? However, this is not the most important thing now, at present, all his military rations, clothing and other materials are in short supply, and the military discipline of the non-commissioned officers is lax and vulnerable. As a hundred, I should train them well. Duan Xing understood that in this era when the imperial examination was supreme and only high in reading, those who served as soldiers were even more despised than later generations, and most of the soldiers were born poor and illiterate. Even the officers are not much better, although he is a military attache of the sixth grade, but his actual status is not as good as a county commander of the seventh grade, it seems that he must do everything in his power to train these soldiers, so as to gradually change the original bad image of the soldiers, so that his people can grow.
In later generations, although Duan Xing was just an ordinary middle school student, he had also read a lot of military and martial arts books, and he was also involved in training the army. A realistic outline of military discipline was quickly formed in my mind: Since military discipline is so poor, let's start with military discipline. Duan Xing thought. I quickly wrote out the outline of military discipline, looked at it, and fell asleep.
The next morning, Duan Xing got up, he called Zhang Yi first, and said to him: "Go and call the brothers to gather, I have something important to announce." Zhang Yi saw Duan Xing like this, and was suspicious, but he still didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed, so he went to call the rest of the soldiers to gather in the courtyard, and after a while, the soldiers ran out of the room one after another. After a period of confusion, the formation was over. Duan Xing looked at the soldiers who were standing crookedly and sleepy-eyed, and he secretly laughed in his heart, but he thought that after all, he had just started training strictly, so he didn't think so. After the soldiers reported the number, Duan Xing took out the military discipline outline that had been prepared long ago, stood on the stage of the martial arts exercise and read it out in public.
In addition to not harassing the people and prohibiting it, Duan Xing also formulated military discipline in accordance with the military discipline requirements of the army in later generations. The following are the main elements of military discipline.
"Article 1, whoever fights or retreats without an order during the battle shall be beheaded."
Article 2 Whoever trespasses into a people's house while stationing in a village or city or takes people's property without permission shall be beheaded."
"Article 3, in wartime, those who do not obey military orders, act slowly and delay fighters, and those who are surrounded and cannot help friendly troops shall be beheaded."
"Article 4, kill the people, fake the war exploits, behead."
"Article 5: Those who kill prisoners without authorization or intercept and capture them without permission shall be beheaded. ”
"Article 6, those who molest or rape * women shall be beheaded."
After Duan Xing announced these six important military disciplines, he particularly emphasized the importance of military discipline, and some officers and soldiers did not understand this, so Duan Xing patiently explained to them the importance of abiding by military discipline and getting the support of the common people. In the end, Duan Xing also led the soldiers to take the initiative to help nearby residents carry water and cultivate in addition to training. It is forbidden to buy and sell.
Duan Xing knew that after affirming military discipline, the next step was training. After Duan Xing knew where the school field was from Zhang Yi's mouth, he asked the soldiers to bring weapons and line up to the school field. As he walked, he said to Zhang Yi, who was following: "You can tell me more about the situation on the school field."
