Chapter 135: Arms Expansion (3)
Once there is a war, it can fully reflect the superiority of the armor protection system, which can enable Zhu Ao to grasp the population resources of the whole country, and stimulate the country's maximum potential to deal with the enemy army at any time, instead of the population and land falling into the hands of local tyrants like in the last years of the Han Dynasty.
According to Zhu Ao's decree, Su Guo can also recruit another 42,000 soldiers, plus the previous more than 98,000 people, Su Guo's strength can instantly reach more than 140,000 people, plus Hami's coalition army, it is enough to fight against the Uighurs.
Ten households out of two people in the army and one person to repair the wall is Zhu Ao after careful consideration of the decision, more familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty he knows that at the end of the Ming Dynasty when Sun Chuanting served as the governor of Shaanxi, in order to deal with the growing people's army, once ordered three households in Shaanxi to join the army, although the people of Shaanxi at that time had grievances, but there was no rebellion, it can be seen that this is within their range of bearing.
When Zhuge Liang governed Shu, there were more than 900,000 people in Shu, but he was able to launch a northern expedition of more than 100,000 people, using Zhu Ao's method. Before Liu Bei died, he asked his son to read more books of the Legalists, saying that it could increase people's intelligence, which was not unreasonable.
As for the matter of repairing the border wall, Zhu Ao does not plan to wait any longer, if he delays the agricultural time, he will delay the agricultural time, won't he waste some grain, anyway, there is a lot of grain in the country's warehouse, and the safety issue is the most important thing. If, during the war with the Uighurs, Warat suddenly led his troops to attack the flanks of the Su, and the Sue did not have any defenses, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
As soon as this order came out, Su Guo suddenly entered the war mode, everyone was serving the future war, the farmers worked hard to cultivate the land and collect food, the soldiers worked hard to practice their skills, and even the women were working hard to produce grain for the soldiers. The whole country is in full swing again.
Zhu Ao ordered that the selection of the first batch of noncommissioned officers should be speeded up, and the time was set for the second half of March, so as to train backbone personnel for future wars as soon as possible.
According to Zhu Hao's estimate, the number of people who can meet the conditions set by Su Guo should be about 8,000 to 10,000, and although these 10,000 people are gathered together, although they are a sharp knife that can penetrate the enemy's heart at a critical moment, Zhu Hao has other uses for them.
According to Zhu Ao's plan, the non-commissioned officers trained were not used centrally, but were delegated to the newly recruited troops to serve as the backbone of the battle.
Zhu Ao's idea was inspired by the PLA's three-three system, the so-called three-three system is a set of effective tactics summed up by the Northeast Field Army in actual combat, specifically a squad of 10 people, divided into three combat groups, led by squad leaders and two veterans.
There are only three to four people in each combat team, and the team leader is responsible for the high-tech work of grasping the rhythm, awareness, and positioning, and the remaining two or three recruits are responsible for hiding behind the team leader and firing their guns, which helps to improve the overall combat effectiveness.
It's like when you are playing the glory of the king, there is a person in the team who is a great god, so the rhythm, consciousness, movement and other aspects of the matter are naturally responsible for him, you just need to hide behind and put the skills, there is a great god with it, the combat effectiveness of the whole team will be improved, this is the truth that has been confirmed by many practices.
The advantage of the three-three system is that it can not only command each recruit and improve the overall combat effectiveness of the army, but also prevent the enemy from concentrating firepower to bombard a large area, because under the three-three system, soldiers are scattered in groups of three or four people to attack, and there will be no scene of a bunch of people crowding together to charge.
Zhu Ao from later generations knew that there was a big drawback in ancient wars, that is, the decisive factor of the main general for a battle was too great, not to mention, let's just say that in the past battle of Jiuquan, the reason why Zhu Ao was able to defeat the 40,000 Hami army with a force of 10,000 was to kill the banner of the king of Hami with one shot, which led to the leader of the Hami army and the collapse of the army's morale.
If you can do this yourself, others can do this, if one day your banner is knocked down, or if you are unlucky enough to be blown away by the wind, will the army on your side also fall into chaos and be slaughtered by others? The answer is yes, an army without a command is a flock of sheep, whether it is the Hami army or the Ming army, they cannot escape this truth.
In order to avoid chaos in future battles, Zhu decided to introduce the military rank system of later generations. The rank system was first invented by the Spaniards in order to allow someone to continue to command the battle if the troops were scattered.
After having a military rank, when your troops are disrupted and you can't find your commander, don't worry, just turn your head and look at the people around you, and listen to whoever has the highest rank. After all, a person with a high military rank has either made great contributions or has more combat experience, so it is safer to listen to him after all.
In this way, all the soldiers can be quickly combined on the battlefield into an effective combat whole, and there will be no leaderless and chaotic scenes, which can effectively improve the army's ability to resist attacks.
As for the level of military ranks, Zhu Ao did not want to innovate, and directly copied the military rank system of the People's Liberation Army. The first class is the rank of general, which is divided into general, lieutenant general, and major general, and the epaulette is marked by one ear of wheat three to one star; The second class is the school title, which is divided into colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major, and the epaulette is marked by two bars and four to one star; The third class is the rank of lieutenant, which is divided into captain, lieutenant, and second lieutenant, and the epaulette is marked by a bar of three to one star.
The highest-ranking general is naturally received by Qu Neng and other generals of the five generals' mansions, and so on, to the level of 100 households, the rank of captain is generally awarded, the deputy 100 households are awarded the rank of lieutenant, the chief flag officer is awarded the rank of second lieutenant, the small flag officer is awarded the rank of sergeant, and the combat leader of the group is awarded the rank of sergeant and corporal, and below the corporal is the small soldier.
In this way, the Su army will not worry about not being able to find its own commander when fighting, and if it sees a higher rank than itself, it can obey his orders.
After the outline of the armament war has been decided, it is time to investigate and hold accountable for the major incident of King Su's disappearance. As the chief of the guard at that time, Zhang Long's responsibility for the commander of the left guard of the palace must not be able to escape, originally with the seriousness of this matter, Zhang Long's official hat must not be kept, and he will be in prison if he doesn't do it, but Zhu Aonian had a meritorious service in the battle against Hami before him, and he was also responsible for risking himself this time, so he was given a punishment of dismissal and retention, so that he could make meritorious contributions.
Zhang Long was naturally grateful for this, and Dade pointed to the sky and vowed to work hard to repay Zhu Ao in the future. As for the old Han family who saved his life, Zhu Ao did not hesitate to reward, and he personally wrote down his will: give the old Han family 200 acres of fertile land, 50 servants, 2,000 stone of grain, and exempt from taxes and forced labor for generations.
The grace of saving lives must be rewarded.
