Chapter 11 Military System
The next step was to start checking the literacy of the soldiers, Wang Tiqian quickly knelt down and said: "Holy Lord, the slave and maid have committed the crime of deceiving the king, please punish the Holy Lord." ”
Zhu Youxiao was very strange and asked, "What's the matter, get up and talk about it." ”
Wang Tiqian didn't dare to stand up, kowtowed and said: "Last time, Your Majesty asked each soldier for three months if it was difficult to recognize a hundred words, and the slave and maid said no, and now the slave and maid have used it for five days, and there are still many people who can't recognize two words." ”
"If you recognize one word a day, you can recognize five words in five days, how can you not recognize two words?"
"The slave maid is to let them recognize a word every day, but the next day they forget the word they knew before, many people can only recognize the word they learned that day, so they can only recognize one word in five days, and the slave and maid think that if it is ten days and a half months, I am afraid that they can only recognize one word."
"Get up, you're wrong, the more you go to the back, the easier it will be for them to read, and if three months don't come, how can you conclude that they can't read a hundred words? Besides, they can't recognize a hundred words, and they can't be counted as deceiving the king, you are estimating their level according to your own, and you don't deliberately deceive me, if you have the intention to deceive me, you are the deceitful. ”
"The saint has no saint, slave and maid thank the lord Longen!" Wang Tiqian kowtowed a few more times before standing up and brushing off the cold sweat on his head. Then he called a few who had learned better to check on the emperor.
Wang Tiqian took a few large pieces of paper, one with a word on it, and then showed them to the soldiers, who read: "one", "cut", "for", "to", "emperor", "shang", "big", "ming". This guy is a sycophant, and the first word for the soldiers to recognize is "All for the emperor, all for the Ming". This sycophant made Zhu Youxiao is dragon face happy, and Wei Zhongxian secretly gave Wang Tiqian a thumbs up.
Zhu Youxiao praised Wang Tiqian, and then said to Yang Guangkui: "You should discuss the military system together, and if there is a unanimous opinion, report it to me, and if there are different opinions, write them down one by one and then report to me, this is a new branch of the armed forces, and the military system should be formulated in combination with the characteristics of this weapon." After the completion of the basic training of soldiers, officers at all levels are selected according to their training results and cultural achievements. ”
On the third day, Yang Guangkui presented the fold. This time, there was only one opinion: a team of 11 people, a captain, a man, three teams for one flag, one flag for the flag, three flags for a division, one for the hundred general, and 20 artillery pieces, six squatting cannons with tigers, and two exterminating cannons. The three divisions are a bureau with a general officer, and the third bureau is a battalion with a thousand generals and a military judge, and there are 15 artillery officers and three heavy Francophone guns. The battalion had a total of 1,126 men.
Basically, it was based on Qi Jiguang's establishment, Zhu Youxiao didn't want such an establishment, so he found a few Yang Guangkui and put forward new requirements, and finally it became like this: a team of eleven people, a captain, three teams for one flag, one flag chief, one deputy flag chief, three flags for a division, a director, a deputy director, three military judges, and a team of ten people, a medical officer. The three divisions are one bureau, with one director and one deputy director, and the three bureaus are one battalion, with one battalion commander, one deputy battalion commander, and three signalmen, with a total of 1,100 people in one battalion.
As for the artillery, it is to build a special artillery battalion, a team of 13 people, with 30 catties of tiger squat cannons six, set up a captain, three teams for a flag, set up a flag chief, and add 100 catties of artillery to kill six guns (24 people), three flags for a division, a director, a deputy director, an instructor, and six heavy Franc cannons (36 people), three divisions for a bureau, a director, three bureaus for a battalion, a battalion commander, a deputy battalion commander, a military judge. The first battalion consisted of two thousand and eighty-five men.
As for the cavalry, cavalry battalions were also formed according to the formation of infantry.
Then there is the baggage battalion, which was not available before, but Zhu Youxiao felt that this was very important, so after selecting the young and strong people in the Beijing camp, the slightly worse physique was turned into a baggage soldier, and the establishment was very simple, a team of ten people, a captain, three teams for a flag, a flag commander, two military judges, three flags for a division, a director, three divisions for a bureau, a bureau director, three bureaus for a battalion, a battalion commander, a deputy battalion commander, a battalion for a total of nine hundred and five people. Some of the baggage battalions are assigned to artillery and cavalry, with an artillery department assigned a baggage division and a cavalry bureau assigned a baggage division. There are also baggage battalions that are separate battalions and are responsible for the transportation of ammunition and food.
Regardless of the type of troops, all soldiers must practice the use of short spears and muskets, and artillery and baggage soldiers are no exception.
The medical officers in each unit are selected by the Beijing camp, and the requirements are to be literate and flexible, and they are concentrated in the Beijing camp and the Tai Hospital selects young doctors to teach simple medical methods. As the emperor's representative, Wang Chengen served as a professor, mainly teaching the medical officer how to stop the bleeding according to the color of the blood flow, how to bandage the wound, and especially told him to use a strip of cloth that had been boiled and then dried. Then the soldiers had to bathe more, the huts had to be repaired, and the medical officers were to be responsible for drawing up the sanitary regulations. Zhu Youxiao at least knows the difference between arterial hemorrhage and venous hemorrhage, and also knows that people killed by infection should be much less than those who die directly on the battlefield, and infectious diseases are much more harmful than on the battlefield. The medical officer mastered these little common senses, and then taught them to the soldiers, and they could save many lives on the battlefield.
Zhu Youxiao is a system-only theorist, in his previous life, some people said that the system is important, but the person who implements the system is more important. He doesn't see it that way, he thinks that a good system should be a system that can ensure its continuous implementation, but at the beginning of the formulation, it can only rely on itself to ensure implementation. Finally, he made a concluding speech to the generals: "I want the soldiers to dream of coming according to the regulations, such an army is the real army that can fight." I believe that you will follow me to build such a strong teacher. ”
Everyone saluted him with a hand-turning salute and shouted: "All for the Ming Dynasty, all for the emperor." Zhu Youxiao returned the salute: "All for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Zhu Youxiao did what he said, and as soon as he had time, he would come to Beijing to watch the exercises. The soldiers have been practicing short guns, and within a month, a few have been able to shout and stab, and most of them have not been able to do it. He ordered all the soldiers who did it to be rewarded with an assassination medal of the first degree, made of iron, a small circle, in the shape of a bayonet in the center, with an Arabic numeral 1 underneath.
He also asked the decorated soldiers to tell the other soldiers how they did it and helped them improve, which worked well, and more soldiers mastered the art of assassination. Two months later, all the regular soldiers were awarded the Order of Assassination of the First Degree.
