Chapter 54: Infantry Drills

Zhongshan.

Lin Mu came here directly after returning from Duanwangfu, and some time ago he bought a thousand acres of fertile land from the Wei family at the foot of the mountain, and the edge of this fertile field was a grange formed by tenants in the past.

After the children of the Lin family arrived in Jiangning, he arranged for all the soldiers of the Ning army to stay here.

"Lord Captain, it is said that Jin Bing has gone south, is this serious?" Seeing Lin Mu coming, Lu Zhen couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, Dong Haoran was killed by the golden dog, and now the Jin soldiers have surrounded Linhai." Lin Mu no longer concealed the news, and there was no need.

"It's a pity that Dong Gong is here after all, my father once said that Dong Gong is a rare upright person in the Privy Council." Lu Zhen looked regretful.

"It's a pity, now that the court is in charge, there are still a few people with a pure heart." Lin Mu sighed deeply, and then said: "King Duan and Liufu Yin said that they can only provide us with the baggage supplies needed for group training, and most of the rest need to be figured out by ourselves." ”

"What! Figure it out for yourself, what can we do! Lin Mu's voice fell, and Lu Zhen suddenly became anxious, "How can we fight with the Jin people without guns." ”

"The soldiers of the regimental training have listened to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, the military salary is self-raised, of course it is good for the imperial court to give it, and there is no way if it is not given to us, now we can only rely on ourselves." Lin Mu deliberately expounded the essence of the regimental training, so that Lu Zhen understood that Ning Jun was just his private army.

Lu Zhen is also a smart person, in fact, the generals have their own personal soldiers, these pro-soldiers are well-paid and well-equipped, but in fact, they are all private soldiers raised by the generals by means of empty salaries, and for the soldiers, they will listen to whomever they eat their food.

"It's just that the captain has a way now, I'm afraid that within March, the Jin soldiers will besiege Jiangning, and our Ning army will not be able to fight with the Jin people with sticks at that time, since the Jin people entered the customs thirty years ago, and now the Jin people have also used firearms." Lu Zhen said that the veterans he brought had fought with the Jin people and knew the situation of the Jin soldiers.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes, "You don't need to worry about money, food, and weapons, now you only need to train the Five Thousand Ning Army into a tiger and wolf army." “

After that, Lin Mu took out a copy of the "Infantry Drill Code" from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Zhen.

"Infantry drills? What is it? Lu Zhen said strangely.

"Just look at it?" Lin Mu deliberately sold a pass.

Lu Zhen opened the thick book, when he saw the content on it, his eyes suddenly released a wolf-like gaze, in this "Infantry Drill Code" clearly recorded the detailed soldier training content, which also includes combat command, attack, defense, pursuit and retreat, as well as the mutual cooperation between the arms, and even includes the training of various infantry formations, and there are pictures in many places, the content is very detailed.

"This, this is a baby." Lu Zhen clung to the infantry drill codex, as if he was afraid that Lin Mu would take it back.

Although it is only a cursory view, the training method and tactical outline in this area are much more sophisticated than the current training method of the Chinese Dynasty.

"Now that you know that this is a treasure, you will train Ning Jun according to the above training method, and from now on, every general must memorize the above content." Lin Mu admonished.

"Infantry Drill Code", also known as the Commander's Outline, is the training norm of the modern army, Lin Mu searched for a long time in the library in the space to find a 19th century German infantry training code, in order to let Lu Zhen understand, he copied it again according to the above content, but kept the original version of the picture.

In this code, the standard of training of the German army in the 19th century was the standard of the German army, which contained the basic movement standards such as standing upright, taking a break, turning forward and turning backwards, and bayonet fighting, as well as the sequence of actions for shooting and reloading, the arrangement of arrays, and the rules for attack and defense.

Using this code to train the Ning army, he naturally wanted to let the Ning army get out of the category of the feudal army and move closer to the modern army.

"Yes, Captain." Lu Zhen's eyes when he looked at Lin Mu suddenly changed, in his opinion, Lin Mu could write this code of conduct must be familiar with the code by heart, which means that the businessman in their eyes knows how to fight better than them.

The soldier's mind is simple, and whoever is powerful, they will obey.

"As for the artillery drill code, cavalry drill code, baggage drill code, etc., the book is still being written, and I will hand it over to you in a few days."

Since he is training the Ning army into a modern army, he naturally wants to change in all aspects, cavalry, artillery, and logistics are all indispensable.

Lu Zhen almost laughed stupidly when he heard this, he was still a little guilty at the beginning of joining the Ning Army, but now he won't leave even if he kills him.

"These codes of conduct should be strictly kept, they can only be borrowed, not taken out at will, if they are lost, be careful that they will take you and ask." Lin Mu's expression suddenly became serious.

Although in the nineteenth century the military practices of various countries were transparent to each other, he did not want to expose them so early.

Moreover, when he was in Duanwang's mansion, he made a decision in his heart, for him, even if Duanwang ascended the throne, he would not be able to save the Hua Dynasty, because as long as the imperial system continued, the stubborn forces of the Hua Dynasty would prevent the implementation of the reforms.

Therefore, he no longer has illusions about anyone, and the most important thing is to take this opportunity to hold the gun in his hand.

"Don't worry, Lord Captain, even if Lu Zhen loses his life, he can't lose it." Lu Zhen placed the drill on the inside of the clothes close to his chest.

Lin Mu nodded, and then he beckoned a Lin family disciple over, and said: "Lin Rui, Lu Zhen, from now on you are the right and left hands of the general, the two of you must cooperate with each other and be responsible for the training of soldiers every day. ”

Lin Rui is the small leader of the Lin family, Lu Zhen is the leader of the veterans, and the Ning Army has just been established, so he naturally can't take sides.

"Yes, Captain." Lin Rui and Lu Zhen bowed in unison.

After explaining the training, Lin Mu continued: "At the same time as the training, you still have one more thing to do, that is, to cooperate with the construction of Wubao, the construction team recruited will arrive in the next two days, and we must make this place impregnable." ”

After saying this, Lin Mu inspected the Grange and pointed out the location of Wubao to them.

At the same time, Uncle Zhang, Xiao Ke, Lin Qing, Lin Yang and others also came to the Grange with a salute.

"Second uncle, I'm going to Songjiang tomorrow, and Liufu Yin and Duanwang can't give us anything, so we can only buy it from foreigners through a foreign goods store." Lin Mu said.

This time he was indeed going to Songjiang, and he was indeed going to engage in a big trade, but his real purpose was to take out some resources from the space, and then transport them back under the pretext of trading with foreigners.

Jin Bing went south to the world in chaos, where did he go to find iron, coal and other things? Only on his own, of course, if foreigners really have these, he is willing to buy them.
