Chapter Seventy-Five: Dare to Be the First in the World
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on himself, Jiang Chuan said: "The concerns of the three generals are not unreasonable, and what the military advisor said is even more reasonable in training and leading troops. In order for an army to become a real elite division, a division of a hundred battles, and a division of tigers and wolves, in addition to harsh and even cruel training, as well as strict and strict military laws, the role of the commander is of course the key to the key. ”
"The three generals are worried that the combat effectiveness of these prisoners is too poor, and their integration into our army will affect the combat effectiveness of our army. In fact, we can minimize this situation in the right way.
First, we can select prisoners in batches and integrate them into the army, and gradually digest them;
Second, we can follow the method of mixed formation, with the former officers and men of our army as the main body in each military unit, supplemented by prisoners, and use veterans to lead and supervise new recruits, so as to gradually help them improve their combat effectiveness.
For example, what is the smallest unit in our army? Each tithe is ten soldiers. Then we can keep the original seven soldiers and add three captive soldiers. By analogy, the main body of the entire army is still our army's officers and soldiers, and it can also prevent these Ming prisoners from forming a separate camp and influencing each other on the battlefield to lead to a rout.
It can be said that the role of our veterans in peacetime training is to lead these captive recruits. In wartime, it acts as a warlord, and if these recruits show signs of defeat, the veteran can kill them in time to prevent the rout.
According to this configuration, these captured recruits cannot form the main body, so even if there is a rout on the battlefield, it will not affect the overall combat situation of our army. ”
Jiang Chuan's words made Ran Wu and Liu Ji think about it carefully, and looking at their expressions, they should all think that this method is feasible.
In fact, the method Jiang Chuan said was not his own idea, but mainly referred to the practice of our army converting prisoners during the Liberation War.
Of course, the People's Liberation Army also has other methods to assist it, such as remembering the bittersweet and complaining about the grievances, and Jiang Chuan is also considering whether to join.
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Jiang Chuan took a sip of the teacup in front of him and continued: "In order to integrate these captive soldiers into our army as soon as possible, we can first integrate these captive soldiers into the recruit training camp through the method of selecting them in batches.
Let them go through the two-month boot camp to re-learn our army's military regulations, military discipline, and military law, and get rid of some of the bad habits and bad habits they developed in the army when they were in the Ming army.
Pickets were set up to investigate and deal with those who had serious vices and did not abide by military rules, and according to the severity of their behavior, the military court would quickly pronounce a sentence, or reprimand, or imprison, or punish them with hard labor, or behead them for public display, so as to openly deter the captured soldiers, so that they could feel the severity and severity of military law, and dare not commit any more crimes, so as to ensure the purity of the military atmosphere.
After two months, these captives had basically gotten rid of the bad habits that had been contaminated in the Ming army. According to the results of training and assessment, they can be assigned to all battalions of our army, and they should be mixed according to the method I mentioned above, so that the old can lead the new, and the more prisoners will be less, so as to ensure that the basic combat effectiveness of our army will not drop too much. ”
There are charcoal stoves in the four corners of the conference hall, and thick animal skin curtains are hung on the door, and the whole room is as warm as spring, Jiang Chuan felt a little dry after saying all this, and took another sip of the teacup in front of him.
The plan he just mentioned also refers to the PLA's basic method of training and distributing new recruits. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) implements a two-year military service system, and every year a certain percentage of veterans are discharged from the army, and a considerable number of new recruits are also recruited. After enlisting in the army, the recruits go through three months of boot camp training, and then they are assigned to various units, basically according to the ratio of two to three recruits assigned to each squad, so that the old can lead the new, so as to ensure the basic combat effectiveness of each unit.
Qi Xuan, who was sitting at the end of the rectangular conference table, was using a goose feather pen to bow her head and write hard, recording what Jiang Chuan had just said.
Jiang Chuan took a sip of tea and moistened his mouth, looking at the others, waiting for their speeches. He believes that this set of methods can impress these people at all, after all, these methods have been tested by history and proved to be feasible.
Take many liberation soldiers who have been captured in the Liberation War, they are often at the touch of a collapse when they are the best, but after joining the People's Liberation Army, many people are brave and not afraid of sacrifice, and even many combat heroes have emerged, which is the role of the environment and the great changes brought about by the change of ideology.
Liu Ji exclaimed excitedly: "The method that the lord said is really wonderful, and I think it must be feasible." In this way, it not only avoids the large-scale rout that may be caused on the battlefield after the prisoners form a camp alone, but also does not reduce the combat effectiveness of our army too much, which is really a clever plan.
This law can become a common practice in the future, and the prisoners gained in every battle will be incorporated according to this law, and the strength of our army will continue to expand, but it can still maintain its basic combat effectiveness. After several fierce battles, these captive recruits became elites. The lord is thoughtful, this law is interlocking, step by step, Liu Ji is not as good as it. ”
Jiang Chuan smiled and said: "The military advisor is too modest, I have also obtained this after careful consideration in the past few days, and there must be many details that need to be discussed and perfected with you before they can be implemented." ”
Ran Wu also nodded and said, "The last general thinks deeply, this method is indeed feasible for the lord. These captives have been tempered by the new battalions and then assigned to the battalions, and the basic concept of military discipline and military orders has been developed. Veterans only need to help drive them to increase their killing skills, and they can also save a lot of energy, which is really a wonderful method. ”
Bai Shan also said: "This method is indeed feasible, the lord is imaginative, but meticulous, and the end will admire!" ”
Shanjia said loudly: "The lord is indeed a genius, and he can come up with such a wonderful method to collect the captives, which is unheard of by the last general. All armies have always turned prisoners into servant armies alone, serving as coolies on weekdays and cannon fodder in wartime, and no one dares to be incorporated into their own army. Only the lord has such courage, such a mind, and so courage to dare to be the world, and the five bodies admired by the mountain armor are thrown to the ground. ”
Jiang Chuan was also very happy when he saw that everyone had unified their thoughts and agreed with his method, and said with a smile: "Since the military advisor and the three generals agree with this method, then we will discuss the detailed rules for the admission of prisoners of the Ming army." In addition, this method was only suitable for the inclusion of Ming prisoners and Han Chinese prisoners in future battles. If they are foreign captives, such as Manchu Tartars, they are not among them. Notice. ”
Everyone deeply believes that in this era, there is no concept of national unification, and everyone adheres to the concept of "non-our race must have different hearts", Jiang Chuan naturally cannot risk the disapproval of the world to do this kind of thing of national equality, and there is no need to do this kind of thing.
