The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

The Gushan Camp is a camp for recruit training, and when Zhang Yun was not there, Qin Haoming left the Governor's Mansion and moved here to eat and live with the soldiers.

In troubled times, he understands the importance of military power.

Different from the cavalry officers of the Tianxiong Army in the Hongtang battalion, they have already fought with him in bloody battles and lived and died together, and the generals and colonels are all in charge of the personal guards around them, which can be said to be very tightly controlled, and their loyalty is absolutely guaranteed.

The Gushan battalion is all recruits, and the generals and colonels are temporarily designated, and they are still in the run-in period.

In this world, no one is born to die for whom he is loyal, even if it is a high-ranking family, it takes several years or even longer to be a monk, in exchange for sincerity, life and death.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Haoming was still asleep when he was awakened by the sound of gongs and drums outside the camp tent.

He walked out of the barracks in his clothes, and saw that the east was just showing white, and the men in the camp were already lined up, each with his own tools, and continued to build the barracks under the leadership of the craftsman.

The officer's training battalion was also mounted on horseback, standing in the camp waiting for the sergeants to assemble.

Yesterday, the military was discussed too late, although it was only a light nap for a while, but everyone was still in good spirits at this moment, and seeing Qin Haoming standing in front of the barracks, he looked more and more energetic.

Not long after, more than 1,000 sergeants in several phalanxes had already assembled, with embroidered spring knives hanging on their waists, a huge bamboo basket on their shoulders, and bamboo guns in their hands.

Qin Haoming looked at the direction of the sergeants for a long time, Yan Yingyuan had already gotten up at this time, and walked over wearing a short robe with sleeves, while walking, he looked left and right at the camp, and said with a smile:

"The general of the teaching battalion has been trained by Qin Governor, and he does have the talent to do anything, and he can command clearly and orderly, and he can already be called a knowing soldier."

Qin Haoming smiled smugly, understanding that it was not easy for people to do the order and prohibit it, and not be timid in battle.

The meaning of the existence of the army is to wipe out the characteristics of the individual to the incalculable, and to make thousands and thousands of people work with one heart and one heart to fight for only one goal, that is, victory!

Each general has his own unique set of training and commanding methods. Some people are good at killing people, and some people are known for loving soldiers.

Qin Haoming himself doesn't have any special experience, and all he can think of is nothing more than rewarding and punishing people, increasing people's sense of honor, and maintaining a good atmosphere of active competition internally.

The best army not only has abundant physical strength and excellent rations, but also has its soul.

It is necessary to set a lofty goal for people who are willing to fight for, so that everyone understands what they are fighting for and what they can get from their efforts.

This question seemed very simple, but Qin Haoming thought about it for a long time.

At this turning point for a nation, nationalism is, of course, an unshakable foundation. But for ordinary soldiers, this argument is inevitably a bit grandiose, and there is no personal experience.

Most of those who can join the army are from poor families. It was not only the slaves and traitors who made their lives miserable and persecuted them.

Moreover, even if they fight hard and slaughter the Jiannu, they may not be able to obtain a good life with certainty.

At least in the current era, the contradiction between Daming and Jiannu has not intensified to the extent of life and death, and for many people, surrendering Jiannu is not a difficult opportunity to choose.

However, they don't know that Jiannu is a complete demon, waiting to be devoured by someone who is dormant and waiting to be devoured! And once they choose, they won't even have a chance to struggle!

In this world, life and death are the fairest, whether it is a noble family or a humble pawn, death will be over.

Those who are born rich and noble may not be valuable when they die. Han Ling has lived for half a life, only one death is moving, and it can also surpass the world a lot, and the bones are strong.

Some people are willing to entrust life and death to righteousness, kill themselves to become benevolent, and sacrifice their lives for righteousness, although tens of millions of people have gone to me.

Some people are willing to entrust their life and death to the benefactor, and the king treats me as a national soldier, and he should repay him with a national soldier. Of course, most people may not have such strong and fierce high-pitched feelings, but they know their own feelings.

The Ming Dynasty's long-term worship of literature and suppression of martial arts, coupled with various social problems, has been scattered for a long time, and it is not an overnight achievement to regain it.

Qin Haoming has been thinking about this problem when he was recruiting troops everywhere. As for the combat effectiveness of the army, he was not overly worried.

Practice has proved that although Jiannu is fierce, it is by no means invincible in the world.

Even now, without cheating, two armies with equal numbers will face each other, as long as they are properly dispatched, and the logistics are worry-free.

Fighting each other, the Ming army may not be completely powerless, even if it can't be destroyed and won't win, it will definitely not be defeated.

If Jiannu is really brave enough to be like a heavenly soldier, then the nine towns of the border pass will not be as stable as a rock, and the Ming Dynasty will not last so long.

In the final analysis, it is the Han people themselves who have problems, and the long-standing cohesion of the strong Han inheritance has been broken up, and the Tartars who are not Jiannu are really invincible.

The problem we are facing now is that if the generals do not have the courage to fight and the determination to fight for the kings, then the soldiers will naturally have no confidence to win.

As a matter of fact, in this era, due to the excessively complex composition of the Jiannu army, there was no lack of corruption in military discipline, and the war was mostly fought with ruthless spirit.

What bullshit is full of people who can't be defeated, that's just boasting and hitting the morale of the Ming soldiers.

In fact, in Qin Haoming's opinion, even if the combat effectiveness of Jiannu is at its strongest now, it is definitely not comparable to the Mongol light cavalry.

It's just that the Mongolian Tatars, like the Ming Dynasty, formed Monan, Mobei, and Moxi Mongolia fought with each other more than once, so that they were picked up by Jiannu.

In addition, the enemy chieftain Taiji has good means, and through marriage and Tatar sharing benefits, let the Mongolian elite soldiers be used for their own use, so as to form a strong combat effectiveness.

In view of this, Qin Haoming has made all kinds of arrangements.

Outside, he used opium differentiation to win over the Mongol tribes and prevent them from having one mind.

Internally, hard work to practice internal skills, such as the disabled must be raised, the dead must be buried, etc., to add a layer of follow-up protection to the soldiers, so that they have no worries.

Although this will increase the cost of warfare, if you can buy back the hearts and minds of the people with money, why bother to defend yourself, you can't win the war, and no matter how much money and food you accumulate, it's just a capital for Jiannu.

Moreover, there is no need for these logistical guarantees to be borne by the imperial court, and they can be handed over to the people.

At present, the imperial court lacks authority and resources, but as long as it opens an opening in policy, it will naturally attract people to flock to it.

Rather than cherishing the privileged policies of those imperial courts for the private use of the Gungun, it is better to tear this hole wider and face more people.

Let those poor families go from being able to follow behind the courtiers to pick up one or two favors, so that they can obtain privileges in more ways and become competitors of the courtiers.

And military families are undoubtedly the first beneficiaries of Qin Haoming's plan.

Cement factories, textile mills, salt works, and a series of various workshops in the future must be given priority to the families of military personnel, and then to the various displaced and disaster victims.

Of course, there are people from all walks of life who are willing to follow him.

In order to attract talents, it is natural to need the guarantee of strong force to give people a sense of security.

Through frequent outward expansion, we will plunder more manpower and material resources and open up more space. Therefore, he must establish a number of logistics supply bases to support the large-scale expansion of the army, and Xu Tu to the north.

Therefore, in the next few years, taking advantage of the fact that Jiannu did not have the conditions for a large-scale southward raid, it was a good opportunity for Qin Haoming to develop in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, there are still some tangled points in his heart now, that is, how to deal with the rebels in the northwest?

The day before yesterday, when he received the news that Zhang Yun had discovered a thief in Guangzhou, this problem was really in front of him and could not be ignored.

Survival is the most fundamental and simple need of people, but in this troubled world, survival has become a luxury, which brings a kind of tragic feelings.

If you can't beg for life, then you might as well fight to the death! If you win, you live, if you lose, you will die, and the two results of life and death will urge people to do their best!

In such an army, even if it is a little sheep, if you stay for a long time, you will be contaminated with anger and turn into a warrior who dares to fight.

But traitors have one of the biggest problems, that is, their bottom line is too low, and in order to survive, they can do everything they can, regardless of right and wrong, do not distinguish between good and evil, and tend to act instinctively.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the need for survival, but the problem is that once it is abused, it is difficult to have effective restraints, and the generals are all influenced and coerced by the rebels, so there is no talk of building a higher level.

Unable to form their own political program, nor to build their own superstructure, killing is the only way for them to manifest their worth.

Now, their only purpose is to cut off the Ming Dynasty and make the place chaotic, so that they can take the corn from the fire.

Therefore, Zhang Yun found out about the movements of the rebels in Guangdong, and Qin Haoming felt that it was not surprising.

Wherever there is chaos and natural disasters, the rebels will send a few people to instigate rebellion, and then coerce the people, forming a spark that can start a prairie fire, which is all a routine of anti-thieves.

As far as they are concerned, there is no national concept at all, there is no concept of the people, just like the saying, after I die, who cares if he floods?

But this is exactly what Qin Haoming cannot allow to be tolerated.

Otherwise, why should he endure moving left and right in every possible way, it is better to rebel himself, it is simpler.

It's very simple to break the jars and jars, but the damage to the Chinese culture of the Chinese nation is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses!

"Governor Qin, Xiaopang came over to pick someone."

Li Shouye, the director of the Third Department in charge of human resources, saw the fat eighth master who was about to take off his military uniform and walk into the rivers and lakes to collect protection money from a distance, and said to the silent Qin Haoming with a smile in his mouth.

"You can't call it Chubby now, you have to call it the eighth master, right?"

Facing the approaching figure, Qin Haoming teased.

"Qin Du, aren't you a villain?" The fat eighth master smiled bitterly and gave up his hand again and again, begging Qin Haoming to show mercy.

"That's it, how will you lead the gang in the future? Go ahead, and Director Li will pick out all the black sheep, they can't be soldiers, it's just right to mix the rivers and lakes. ”

The black sheep in Qin Haoming's mouth refers to some slippery people in the army, this kind of people are everywhere, and they are the most greedy for life and afraid of death in battle, which affects morale.

The two of them left at the behest of the order, and it was all a matter of discussion, just a process.

Yan Yingyuan was leisurely yearning beside him, "In this way, the rest are all the elite of the elite." ”

"It's too early to find out until after a fight."

Regarding the construction of the army, Qin Haoming can be said to have spared no effort, especially in strengthening the army.

Nowadays, the world style is to respect scholars and despise martial artists. This concept has been around for a long time, and he is difficult to shake for a while, so as to improve the overall social status of the warriors.

It is not enough to affect the overall situation, but he can concentrate on one point as a breakthrough, that is, to build an elite and strong army, the number of people does not need to be large, 350,000 people are enough.

He will do his best to provide the most adequate supplies and equipment for this army, and he will not hesitate to do his best, and he will be the strongest in the world in terms of equipment!

And to make this army have no worries at all, once you join, it is a lifelong career, even if you are not in the battle formation, old and useless, you must be dedicated for a lifetime!

Therefore, in the future, he plans to select strong men within the range of 150,000 people in the entire Dingnan Army, and once they are selected, even the taxes that their families need to bear, and even the lives of their family members, must provide them with sufficient protection.

There is only one point, that is, every battle must be rushed, and those who dare to be unmoved or injured in the back will be immediately deprived of all privileges, even if they die, they must pass on the heads of all armies to set an example!

This can be regarded as a kind of ladder construction of the army, and Qin Haoming wants to build it into a universal standard. Once you are selected into it, you will not only have no worries for your life, but also boast of the army!

When Qin Haoming talked about his idea in front of Yan Yingyuan and Hong Dixin, both of them were surprised.

It's not because of how clever Qin Haoming's idea is, in fact, similar measures are not unheard of in history, even in today's Ming court, the Imperial Forest Army around the Son of Heaven is far better than other armies.

What surprised them was that even if others had this idea, their means were not as strong as Qin Haoming's.

Moreover, showing too much favor may not be all good, and it is very likely that these sergeants will be proud of themselves and develop into deformed existences, completely loyal to the lord of personal favor.

Qin Haoming didn't care much about this, to be honest, if these elite soldiers didn't miss him as a benefactor after they became an army, then there was no need for him to form it.

And in terms of money consumption, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, his current industrial income alone is enough to maintain such an elite consumption.

He even plans that in the next few years, all his industries will be mainly used to build equipment for this army.

What's more, once an army is formed, the army itself can generate a steady stream of profits for him.

The only thing to worry about is that even a fool can see that he is running his own private army, even if the elite is cultivated, those fierce soldiers will only know the Qin Governor, not the imperial court.

Such an existence is a cancer for the imperial court, and it is impossible to allow it to exist normally.

Therefore, Qin Haoming's soldiers are distributed in a wide area, and the purpose is not to arouse the vigilance of the imperial court and achieve the effect of surprise.

Just like Zhang Yun, he is about to recruit soldiers in Guangzhou. When the opportunity comes, you can form an army in an instant!

And on the day of the formation of the army, it may face a tragic battle that shocks Huayi inside and outside.

If you can't make a name for yourself, then no matter how high the treatment of this army is, it is not an honor, but a joke.

Of course, Qin Haoming would not want to use 350,000 people to fight the world, so he had the initiative to recruit 150,000. After all, not to mention charging into battle, it takes a lot of manpower to garrison alone.

It's just that the treatment of different branches of the military is naturally different, which is also what it should mean.
