455 Ask the captives to be instructors
Li Mu and Yan Xiaowu talked for an afternoon. Yan Xiaowu also told what he saw and heard without reservation. Even the regiment commander's hobbies and the pungency of the female soldiers were spoken.
This naturally includes how the Qin army trained the new army of the Yan State. Its method opened Li Mu's eyes. From Yan Xiaowu's conversation, it was learned that the Qin State wanted to quickly cultivate the new army of the Yan State. An officer school, a non-commissioned officer school was established. The officers and non-commissioned officers of the Qin army were sent to the soldiers of the Yan State to serve as temporary instructors. Officers are responsible for how all soldiers are trained. Non-commissioned officers conduct specific training programs.
The backbone of the army are the officers who graduated from these military schools. And the non-commissioned officer wraps the backbone like the muscles of the human body. And those ordinary soldiers are like the flesh of the human body. In this way, it was put together layer by layer. Such. The Yan army can quickly form combat effectiveness.
From Yan Xiaowu, it was learned that the Qin army also specially issued a soldier's manual, an officer's manual, and a tactical manual. These manuals are required for officers. And how those soldiers trained. It is all in the manual. Of the seized supplies, there was only one soldier's manual. The rest are not seen.
At the same time, Li Mu also learned that the Qin army adopted a new organization, squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, and divisions. And it's very detailed. A non-commissioned officer accompanies each stage. Non-commissioned officers are experienced veterans. In this way, the backbone is difficult to break up. In addition, there is a detailed system of military ranks. For example, soldiers are divided into privates, privates, non-commissioned officers, corporals, sergeants, and sergeants. Sergeant majors also have first-class, second-class, and so on. The division of officers is unusually detailed. Lieutenants, colonels, generals. These sound. It's all new tricks that have never been seen before.
And that's not all. From Yan Xiaowu, he also learned about an organization that interested him very much. Staff. This is a group of middle and lower-ranking officers organized to provide marching routes for the higher officers. Logistical replenishment. So much so that they are involved in the planning of the battlefield. This is also the reason why at the beginning, Zhao Jun deliberately ambushed but failed.
After finishing the conversation with Yan Xiaowu. Li Mu summarized and sorted out what he heard from these conversations.
It was night. Li Mu couldn't sleep. He felt a lot. The reason why Yan Guo was able to change so much at once. It's all with the help of the Qin State. Li Mu didn't know what the connection was between the two. But one thing is very clear, that is, the strength of the Qin State has far surpassed the Zhao State. Even with generals like themselves. It is also difficult to resist a country with huge strength like Qin. If it is really according to what the prime minister of Qin said, the Qin State will not be able to come out for a few years, then when the time comes, all the six countries will be united, and I am afraid that they will not be the opponents of the Qin State. This is a huge disparity in strength. This gap is no longer something that a famous player can fill.
If Li Mu wants the army to keep up with the pace of the Qin army, he must have strong strength to support it. However, this is precisely Zhao Jun's current shortcoming. It is impossible for Zhao to have the strength of Qin.
If you can't keep up, you have to keep up as soon as possible. Weapons and equipment can be repeatedly pleaded with King Zhao to solve. But the training of the non-commissioned officers must also be planned in advance. Come to think of it. Li Mu decided what had to change. Think about it. Li Mu came up with a bold decision. Ask the captives to be instructors. So Li Mu ordered overnight. Capture alive more Yan Army officers, non-commissioned officers.
Let those officers. The non-commissioned officer used the results of his training from the Qin State on Zhao Jun.
In order to appease discontent in the army. Li Mu personally persuaded the disgruntled generals in the military tent.
"The day before yesterday, I interrogated the prisoners and learned that the reason why the Yan army had increased its combat strength so quickly. It was all done by the Qin army. Li Mu said slowly.
"Damn. Qin dog. The generals scolded angrily. And Li Mu just stretched out his hand to signal.
"We lost. But we really deserve to lose. This is what the captives said, and Ben will sort it out. Let's take a look. Li Mu said as he picked up a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to a general.
"The Qin army has different military schools, officers, non-commissioned officers. Is their combat power just the sharpness of those weapons? I'm afraid not. In the end, combat power still depends on people. The training methods of the Qin army and the experience of organizing the army are all worthy of our learning. The generals below listened and watched. They were shocked. In this way, Yan Jun really has something outstanding. Although the generals of the Zhao army were not convinced, they had to admit this fact in their hearts. In such a short period of time. The combat power has increased so much. Can it be said that it is by weapons? Apparently this is untenable.
"And the Qin army's set, everyone here, including the general, doesn't know at all. So, Ben will decide. Ask those prisoners to be instructors for Zhao Jun. As soon as these words came out. The generals of the Zhao army were in an uproar.
"This, isn't that a joke? Please take the captives and be our instructors. This, what is this" the generals began to complain. Ask the captives to be instructors. No one has ever done this. What kind of instructor do you want the captives to be? If you want to be an instructor, why are you a prisoner?
"Shut up. These captives are the result of our ambush, can we crush them head-on? Li Mu asked loudly.
Everyone shut up.
"What Yan Jun has learned is all from Qin Jun's experience. It is extremely valuable. Why don't we learn from it? This order was supposed to be issued to the whole army. No one shall disobey. Li Mu ordered loudly.
"The general also informed the position in advance, if anyone dares to make things difficult for the instructor. Determined to be unforgiving. Li Mu said firmly.
"Whoa." The generals stood up and obeyed.
"Let's all go down." Li Mu waved his hand.
The generals withdrew, and although they complained, they had to ask the captives to be their instructors. And it has to be respectful.
In this way, Zhao Jun began the military reform of his own army. And their learning materials turned out to come from those Yan army captives wearing different military uniforms. This has to be considered a first. This also shows Li Mu's determination to keep up with the pace of the military era. With this determination, he will boldly carry out military reform. More than just training. And weapons, systems, and so on. These were all obtained from the Qin army.
Advanced things, sometimes this is how they spread. It was in this way that Zhao Guo got the opportunity to keep up with the times.
Zhao Jun was busy catching the prisoners himself, and after catching the prisoners, he asked those prisoners to be his instructors. The South Korean side is nervously engaged in a tense negotiation.
Since Han Shu's mutiny, South Korean ministers have felt that it is inappropriate to let a woman be the king. So they secretly discussed forcing him to step down. It just so happened that Han Shu ordered the whole country to collect taxes according to the May tax case of the Qin State. The difference is that Lady Han has adjusted the tax rate. One percent, became ten percent.
This aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers. Because, before, they never had to pay taxes. Now even they have to pay, which is really unreasonable.
