Chapter 337

The most untechnical place is often the most difficult place to accumulate.

The saying "10 years of the army, 100 years of the navy" is often used to say, because the time required for naval shipbuilding and the relatively high scientific and technological content are high, and the army casually acquires equipment and trains for three or five years, and its combat effectiveness will rise.

However, Yang Shangjing said that this is purely a special bullshit.

This is because the core combat strength of any army is definitely not some tall modern equipment, but the military soul composed of a series of things such as spirit, spirit, military discipline, and so on, and the reason why an army with fine traditions is treasured and valued is because it comes with the kind of soil that cultivates heroes, and it is the wealth left by a generation or even several generations, and other armies cannot learn it if they want to.

Of course, this is definitely not to say that equipment is not important, there is a serious generation gap in equipment, and there is no way to transcend the shackles of material, and the Baturu who charged at the British and French troops who were in line to shoot have explained a lot of problems.

At present, there is no irreparable generation gap between the Ming Dynasty and the naval army and the foreign army, even if the Europeans play with flowers in artillery, limited by the garbage-like materialology of the fifteenth century, the Kou Feilin cannon that is popular there is not much more advanced than the artillery of the Ming army, and the existing artillery of the Ming army is enough to beat other small countries around it.

Therefore, Yang Shangjing is now training soldiers, and the main focus is on the construction of military discipline and military regulations, and the traditional Chinese military law of "Seventeen Forbidden Laws and Fifty-four Beheadings" is actually quite good, concise and concise, but the soldiers at the bottom are illiterate and illiterate, and even with a serious lack of vitamin A intake, one or two are especially night blindness patients, and the coverage of illiteracy plus night blindness basically covers the range of ordinary soldiers and soldiers to 100 households, so this set of military regulations is basically restricted to officers above the level of 100 households. Many general flags looked at the military regulations, and they had to ask at a loss, "What is this special writing?" with a confused face.

Yang Shangjing's ultimate pursuit is that "the party branch is built on the company", in other words, under the command of an officer at the level of a general flag, there must be a few literate propagandists to help him carry out literacy education and patriotic education, of course, the current patriotic teachings should be put on a layer of "loyalty and patriotism" skin, His Majesty the Emperor is very good, His Majesty the Emperor is also very good, what "Emperor Taizu expelled the Tartars from the Northern Expedition of the Heavens, and Emperor Taizong was difficult to protect the country and protect the people", everything that can be given to him is rectified, Summarize a textbook again, and smash it directly on the case of the bigwigs of the Nanjing Military Department, disgusting all the way, who wouldn't be able to block people!

As for any materialist dialectics and the like, the simplified version can't be done, it involves atheism, and the scholars who call for "respecting ghosts and gods and staying away" can jump out and directly beat him to a half-body, after all, the vast majority of scholars still count on the saying "respecting heaven and law" to eat, but in private, he plays with the concept of "nationalization of the army", preaches "the proletariat of the whole Ming Dynasty unites", and propagates the relevant ideas of "class struggle" in the real henchman army. Knock directly on the corner of Ming imperialism, that is no pressure.

Therefore, in the past few days, the artisan households with a little disability and the poor and sour landlords in the countryside are unwilling to enjoy food, and the scholars hired as teachers have been drawn up and thrown into the army, and their only common denominator is that they are "poor", and they are simply the norm of these people, and in the past living conditions, they are not much better than ordinary guards, so they will soon be able to get along with the same hard-pressed soldiers.

Of course, at this stage, their textbook is still a "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", just be literate and literate, Yang Shangjing doesn't want to use things like "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text" in this kind of place to leave a handle for the idle Qingliu, as for the rest, let's talk about it after recognizing all the words.

However, it is still the same sentence, the construction of spiritual civilization and the construction of material civilization must be grasped with both hands, both hands must be hard, and walking with a limp leg will not go far, so at the same time as the subordinates to whom the patrol and defense thousand households belong are carrying out literacy education, Yang Shangjing also began the road of reaching out for money by himself.

The first is the water army.

Now the Qianhu Naval Army of Taizhou Mansion has been directly separated from the Taizhou Guard, and directly transferred to the Bei Yamen, the commander of the Taizhou Wei originally wanted to struggle, but think about An Yucheng, the commander of the Haimen Guard who retired from illness in the south, and He Youcai, the commander of the Pan Shiwei who was directly chopped off his head, he was forced and directly accepted his fate, so Yang Shangjing reorganized the original batch of sailors, engaged in queue training and literacy education, and at the same time, he gave a note to the Nanjing Military Department. Summed up in two words, it is "asking for money".

The biggest head is the bow and arrow, the artillery is there in the navy, but after all, it is too sensitive, Yang Shangjing has to go step by step, and the current battle at sea is still based on bows and arrows, and arrows are consumables, which are not cheap, he asked the Nanjing Military Department for 300,000 at one time, and the price is all over the place to pay back, even if the old men of the Nanjing Military Department directly give a discount, as far as the specifications of more than 1,000 people under his hands, even if everyone walks away with a bow, 60 arrows per person, it is enough to train for several months.

What's more, when it comes to the ship, the soldiers who can shoot arrows can't even account for half of the whole crew.

Then there is the army patrolling thousands of households, or the marines, Yang Shangjing directly to the military households in Taizhou, Wenzhou, and Ningbo clicked on the recruitment switch, the quota of 800 people, the supporting armor and weapons are all three, everyone wears armor is the basic routine, the bow and crossbow are directly according to the 50% equipment rate to hit the budget table, what you want is a "luxury configuration", 100% armor rate, just ask if you are afraid? Afraid?!

In the end, it is the needs of the rest of the guards, and there is no problem at all with the meat eaten by the troops of their own descendants, that is, the patrol of thousands of households, and everyone understands it very well, but if the rest of the guards can't even drink the soup, it will be too much, so Yang Shangjing pondered for a while, and directly made a report to the bigwigs of the Nanjing Military Department in accordance with his own kinship, and there is no luxury of the army under his command, but it is no problem to change the equipment to the personal soldiers of the commanders of each guard.
