King Gustav II of Sweden, who died in the fifth year of Chongzhen, made the combat effectiveness of the Swedish army soar due to military reforms.

They defeated the Holy Roman Empire led by Tire's army at the Battle of Brydenfeld and were given the title of "Lions of the North".

In fact, Gustav II's reforms were the basis for the formation of the army in later generations, which was nothing more than the implementation of universal conscription, the establishment of a standing army with strong combat effectiveness, the streamlining of the army establishment, the improvement of weapons and equipment, the transformation of artillery into an independent branch of the army, and the close coordination of infantry, cavalry, and logistics troops, and the adoption of flexible line tactics, and so on.

Huang Sheng has long cultivated a new generation of knowledgeable young soldiers in a modern model, not only to implement universal conscription, but also to select the best of the best, and the quality of the army can be proud of the world.

This time, the expansion of grass-roots troop units is also aimed at keeping pace with the times, and each battalion has a 1,000-general corps of musket infantry, a mixed corps of cavalry, artillery, and grenadiers, and a 1,000-general corps of auxiliaries and supplementary troops.

The battalion headquarters is directly under the jurisdiction of a propaganda corps with 100 generals, a scout general, and a guard general, and a battalion head has a basic quota of 4,000 regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, plus an irregular number of field hospitals and a number of supporting doctors and nurses.

Each battalion is named after their station, such as the "New Suzhou" battalion, the Zhongming Fort battalion, etc., and Huang Sheng's own guards are called the Guards Battalion or the Pro-Soldier Battalion.

In order to prevent the generals from becoming militarized, the troops did not need to be expanded after they had grown to a guerrilla battalion of 4,000 men.

In conventional combat, a battalion of 4,000 firearms troops is enough to wipe out a small cold-armed nation.

This is not boasting, Xiyi's combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the "Nanming" fighters, and when they carried out colonial invasions, they participated in landing operations with dozens or hundreds of combat units, and more than one or two thousand was a big war.

"Nanming" launched a large-scale battle, proposed by the General Staff, Huang Sheng appointed the chief general, deputy general, and chief town officer, which battalions were transferred to participate in the battle, and according to the General Staff combined with intelligence to carry out war games to formulate a plan for implementation.

This kind of deployment also means that the guerrilla generals who have actual military power in their hands can only mobilize 4,000 men and horses, and the generals sitting on one side are all on temporary combat missions.

The mobilization of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses must be uniformly deployed by the General Staff, which is the royal power directly under the central power and in the hands of Huang Sheng, so that scientific management can better prevent the emergence of warlords and always maintain the command of the "Nanming" government headed by Huang Sheng.

The generals will not know that the soldiers will appear among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness of each battalion of the Huang family will be clear at a glance, because there will be assessments and rankings every year, and the staff will always grasp the actual combat effectiveness of the troops.

Those who assess and inspect the troops are senior generals at the level of staff officers and chief officers, and even those who have been knighted, who are not responsible for military training, but only inspect the results of the training of guerrilla generals from all walks of life.

The main general is responsible for commanding the battle, and the combat effectiveness of the battalion under his command is about equal to a mold casting, even if it is a little long, the difference will not be too big.

Because the General Staff will investigate the generals' inspection opinions and find that the battalion that is seriously lagging behind will cause the partisan generals in charge to be laid off, and if the whole team is not good, it will be broken up and reorganized.

There are too many reserve soldiers of the Huang family, and it takes fierce competition to get the treatment of regular soldiers, so of course it is still to adopt the method of rewarding attendance and punishing laziness, and the capable live in the way to manage the troops.

It was difficult for Daming to recruit soldiers, but Nanming had to turn away too many enthusiastic young people who had signed up for the army, and he had to select the best from the first-class township warriors who enthusiastically signed up, and make a judgment.

This is not boasting, the overall mobilization of a country depends on who is managing it.

In the past many years, the dynasty has never worried about the source of soldiers, and the glory of a soldier and the whole family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially before the 80s, almost every young man of school age accepted the selection of the motherland and was eager to join the army.

Huang Sheng's management of the country has always adopted the idea of the first army, and the preferential treatment of soldiers and military families is better than that of the national dynasty, and the soldiers will also have the opportunity to be promoted and finally crowned as a wife and son, of course, they are even more sought after.

Huang Sheng is ready to knight the generals with outstanding merits, and he is also like the Ming Dynasty with the third rank of duke, marquis, and earl, but there is a difference, the third-class title is divided into nine levels, and the hereditary replacement is reduced to three levels at one time.

It also means that the son of the second-class duke, he has no merit himself, he has become a second-class earl all thanks to Zuyin, and the title of Nanming is different from that of Daming, and other treatments are available, there is no fief, which is equivalent to only a level salary.

It is the pursuit of everyone in the feudal dynasty to seal the wife and son, Huang Sheng can't let everyone have no hope, so he doesn't give him treatment and land, and he can't let his children and grandchildren eat their old books.

Even if it is a first-class duke, it is not interesting to inherit it for several generations. Unless they carry forward the fine traditions of their ancestors and continue to expand their territory for the country and win military merits.

"Nanming" founded the country, Huang Sheng convened a meeting of "Nanming" civil and military officials, which must have made everyone full of expectations, which is understandable, people will always look forward to high-ranking officials.

The army of the "God of War" marched south on December 1, and the people who were reluctant to leave their homeland sent them one ride after another, and finally shed tears and regretted ...... farewell.

The cavalry of Zhongming Fort went back to 2,400 horses, which was exactly two thousand in total, Han Kuan and Zhen Siming followed the head of the family to kill Zhang Xianzhong, and Ma Zhannu depressedly took the men and horses north to Zhongming Fort to continue to fight hard.

The infantry of Zhongming Fort was led by Gu Shanhe to participate in the suppression of the Kou, and Cao Hucheng reluctantly led the two thousand generals back to defend Zhongming Fort.

However, these two men soon became happy, because they wanted to recruit first-class village warriors on the basis of the existing number to form two battalions, namely the "Zhongmingbao Battalion" and the "Gaotaibao Battalion", and they were the first batch of appointed "Nanming" Kingdom actual third-grade guerrilla generals.

Knowing that the king of the south went to suppress the Kou, the generals of the Ming Dynasty and the army wrote letters asking to participate in the operation, and the enthusiasm for killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions was unprecedented, which made Zhang Fengyi, who returned to Beijing to continue to serve as the secretary of the military department, cry and laugh.

This time, King Qin fought a bloody battle to build slaves and Tartars, and participated in negotiations to peacefully solve the big problem of the southern king's soldiers in the city, Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong made great contributions, and many officials in the court such as Gao Di, Wang Zhichen, Wu Xiang, etc. have worked hard.

Many ministers in the court and the central government were praised, or promoted to knighthood or received a number of rewards. Liang Tingdong returned to the center, and he succeeded Yang Sichang, who was on leave to recuperate, as one of the cabinet ministers.

Shoufu Wen Tiren got into trouble, he calculated that Qian Qianyi would not be counterattacked, lost the emperor's heart, wrote a resignation to test the emperor's attitude and was self-defeating, and was directly sent back to his hometown by Chongzhen.

Later, this conspirator who only played with people and did not do things died soon after, and I don't know whether he died or was retaliated against by the enemy, but he died anyway.
