Chapter 4: New Peach (1)
Recommend a work with the same theme of Nanming - "Rebirth of Nanming as an Emperor".
The protagonist's soul wears Zhu Youlang, the son of Yongli, and when Zhu Ran can't run anymore, he confronts the Manchu Qing Dynasty while integrating the interior, and the story of this Han family's son fighting back in a desperate situation begins.
………………
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month of the fifth year of Yongli, tomorrow will be the night of Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, but even at this time, Chen Wen, who was hanging one arm, was still busy in front of the case, and Wu Dengke, Yin Yue, Li Ruixin, Lou Jiye, Gu Shouli, Qi Xiufeng, the two civilian officials who first served in his army, were preparing for the reorganization that began after the year.
Relying on the armor, the injury on the arm is just a bone crack, but according to Lu Lao Langzhong and other military doctors, if the bone crack is not taken seriously, even if the wound is healed, it will easily lead to the re-displacement of the crack fracture, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time.
As a result, Chen Wen had to solemnly go up to the splint, hanging like this every day to deal with official business, even if he was sleeping, he couldn't take it off, which was really awkward to a certain extent. Just when it comes to his own body, he doesn't dare to take it lightly, the military doctors in the camp except for Lu Laolang also come to see it almost every day, and Zhang Jun, who is the captain of the pro-soldiers, is waiting with a few new pro-soldiers in front of the saddle, as if he is waiting for the critical illness notice in the intensive care unit.
Accepting the treatment of the cadre ward in feudal society, although it is far from the standard, at least there is no maid to serve, but such a day makes Chen Wen feel a little unreal. Because from a geographical point of view, the two main forces of the Qing army in Zhejiang are now part of Hangzhou and the other part in Quzhou, and Ma Jinbao, who was driven to Quzhou, has enough strength to wait for his return to take revenge.
When the threat is so close at hand, is it time to rest easy?!
It's just that after occupying this base area, the problem of money and food is very serious, especially after the Spring Festival reward has just been issued. In Sun Yu's words, the rats in the warehouse have begun to move. Fortunately, Chen Wen already has a way to deal with this problem temporarily, but once it is implemented, the resistance will not be too small, so he still needs to have a final discussion with Sun Yu.
In addition to money and food, the establishment and training of the army also need to be put on the agenda. The first thing to bear the brunt of is the kind of organization based on the same township and clan that was used in a hurry to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, which can indeed quickly form a cohesive force, but the sequelae are too great. Therefore, Chen Wen decided to re-plan all the troops involved on the grounds of promotion of military merits. And this matter has been handed over to Gu Shouli to do, thinking that this experienced old boy should not let him down.
This issue is relatively simple, and even Chen Wen's plan to set up the three battle barracks of Nantang, Yiwu, and Dongyang is to thoroughly reorganize the rest of the troops into local garrison units and station them in some important places to achieve actual military control. However, relatively speaking, the issue of the operational establishment of the army is far from being so simple.
Last year, due to the lack of long-range troops in the process of confrontation between the old Nantang battalion and the standard battalion in the battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace, it was difficult to effectively destroy the formation of the Qing army before the hand-to-hand combat began. Fortunately, the power of the Mandarin Duck Array in that terrain was really amazing, and it successfully crushed the Qing army through the amazing exchange ratio in hand-to-hand combat.
So it's this year. Chen Wen changed the establishment to the kind of mandarin duck array killer team and an infantry team that Qi Jiguang combined into an infantry team when he was guarding the border in the north, but due to the lack of cavalry, he still continued to use the 44 system. The initial effect of this establishment was very good, and the battle could only be described as crushing when facing the remaining troops of the Qing army in superior strength, but when facing such an elite as the superintendent battalion, the problem of the thinness of this hand-to-hand combat unit was revealed.
And there are still two key problems here, one is the artillery of the Qing army, and the other is the kind of extra-long spear that the Qing army took out in order to reduce the pressure effect of the wolf squirt.
Although these two issues are not fatal to Chen Wen, who uses the Mandarin Duck Array, they are also worthy of his attention. Because of the advantage of the mandarin duck formation he used on the battlefield in the face of wide terrain, once the Qing army could not quickly break through the formation of the Qing army, it was very easy to be consumed by the Qing army. Especially when it was learned that Wang Sheng was already starting to copy his formation. The problem is even more serious.
For this problem, Chen Wen did not envision using the Spanish phalanx to deal with it, but in Zhejiang, the Spanish phalanx was used to deal with the Qing army, and the army was too limited by the terrain. Whether it is a mountainous area, or a basin and plain crisscrossed by a network of water, the Spanish phalanx is too bloated. It is far less flexible than the Mandarin Duck Array.
Therefore, Chen Wen still planned to modify the Mandarin Duck Formation on the basis of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and the first step was to solve the problem that the Qing army's spearmen had more wolf fighters than the Mandarin Duck Formation in the unit terrain.
The spearmen arrayed by the Qing army to reduce the pressure effect of the wolf's sword, the idea is very good, and the effect is also very good. But the Qing army obviously did not adapt to this style of play. There was still a certain distance between each spearman, not only out of habit, but also for the sword and shield soldiers in the back row to switch to the front row at any time to deal with the advance of the Ming army's longcard and rattan players and pikemen.
Chen Wen felt that this kind of discomfort might not last long, and sooner or later the Qing army would think of the kind of big shield hand that completely gave up the assault attack used by Yu Guowang on the battlefield in Taizhou, especially Ma Jinbao, who had fought with Yu Guowang. But at the same time, through reasoning, Chen Wen felt that Ma Jinbao might not be able to concentrate the formation, after all, Yu Guowang's semi-finished Spanish phalanx was completely shattered by artillery, and the Ming army also came up with a similar method during the battle of Xiaoshun Town.
In this case, the relatively dense battle formation of the Mandarin Duck Formation under the unit terrain has become more reasonable, but the kind of seven or eight-foot spear used now is not enough to complete the task of assassinating the main force of the whole team, after all, if you can't even reach the opponent, then it will be even more difficult to achieve effective killing that is enough to cause the opponent to lose the ability to fight.
So, Chen Wen decided to replace the seven- or eight-foot spear used by the pikemen with a spear of about one foot and five feet, but in this way, there were two problems, one was that the spear was the same length as the wolf's spear, so many of the wolf's moves were difficult to perform in the relatively dense mandarin duck array, and the other was that the spear was too long, which made it difficult to protect oneself once the enemy broke through.
See it here. Chen Wen had no choice but to abolish the formation of wolf warriors and change them to spearmen; At the same time, in order to better protect the spearmen, Chen Wen simply changed the rattan players in the front row to long players, and the performance of the boring palladium in the face of the assault of the Qing saber and shield soldiers was far less good than that they were used to fight against the two-handed Japanese swords in the Qi Jiguang era, so this establishment was also abolished, but what kind of troops to replace it with remains to be discussed.
Merely. As soon as this reform plan was proposed, it was fiercely opposed by Wu Dengke and Lou Jiye, and even Yin Yue looked a little speechless, only Li Ruixin still maintained the mentality of "Lao Tzu is a horseman" and sat there to listen to this question.
"Dashuai, the battle of Xiaoshun Town was won by Wang Shi, and those recruits have also seen the battlefield, and even killed the Tartars with their own hands. As long as you use this time to train the recruits thoroughly, and complete the training tasks such as the training tasks on Tiantai Mountain, the Tartars will definitely not be the opponent of the king at that time. ”
Seeing that Wu Dengke finished speaking, Lou Jiye hurriedly took over the conversation. "Great. Wang Shi is now in eastern Zhejiang, where the water network is crisscrossed, and it is best to use the mandarin duck array when Qi Shaobao fought against the Japanese in the south. The spearmen of the Tartars are nothing more than to reduce the pressure effect of the wolf squirt, as long as the wolf whizzers of the king master are more proficient, it is impossible for them to contain the power of the mandarin duck array. ”
"What General Lou said is very reasonable, marshal, the Mandarin Duck Formation is the core of the Qi Family's Army Battle Formation System, not only the infantry battalion, but also the vehicle artillery battalion and the baggage battalion are also useful for the existence of the improved Mandarin Duck Formation used on the side van. Even the cavalry battalion is based on the mandarin duck formation, except for the formation of light cavalry birds, and only fights on horseback. ”
The two of them chattered a lot. All in all, he disagrees with Chen Wen's modification of Qi Jiguang's Mandarin Duck Formation, because according to Chen Wen's modification method, it is difficult for the Mandarin Duck Formation of the infantry battalion to be called the Mandarin Duck Formation. After all, the Mandarin Duck Formation is not only a collection of long and short weapons together, but more importantly, it is a change of formation in the face of various situations on the battlefield. Once it is changed according to Chen Wen's method, many changes in the Mandarin Duck Array will be difficult to perform, and the taste of this array will completely change.
Listen to this passage. Chen Wen was quite touched, not only because of the love of these descendants of the Qi family army for the Mandarin Duck Array, but also because of some new views on Wu Dengke.
A year and a half ago, Chen Wen met Wu Dengke in the small courtyard of the Sun family, and Wu Dengke was an illiterate man with a big mouth at that time. He is a pure rough man, and he learns new knowledge at a much slower rate than his peers. However, since Chen Wen was appointed as a guerrilla in Dalanshan and Wu Dengke also received the rank of a thousand generals, he slept later than other officers almost every day, because while others were sleeping, he was still reviewing the words he had learned to write and the articles that needed to be recited.
In the past year and a half, Wu Dengke, who was originally greedy for cups, rarely drinks alcohol now, and only tastes it at the celebration banquet. This habit stems from the fact that he has plenty of time every day, even nervous, and there is no need to waste study time for drinking.
After this period of study, Wu Dengke is not only able to write some words that need to be used often as an officer, but even has read military books for a period of time, and his understanding of Qi Jiguang's battle formation system of various arms is what he pondered when he discussed with Chen Wen before, and it can be perfectly used here at this moment, which makes Chen Wen sigh very much at how great the two words dream are.
There is a saying in later generations that a person needs to have a dream, what if it comes true?
However, in Chen Wen's view, the most important thing to realize dreams is to work hard to achieve the goal, and opportunities will always be given to those who are prepared. From obtaining the official position of guerrilla general to now only resting for half a day while chatting with Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan, Chen Wen knows very well that the most important reason why he has been able to achieve today's achievements with only the concept of war expressed in film and television dramas and literary works is that he has paid far more than others, and Wu Dengke is also applicable to this principle.
However, when he was moved, he was moved, and the improvement of the Mandarin Duck Array still had to be carried out, because this was not only related to the war with the Qing army next year, but more importantly, when some people of insight in the Qing army had begun to try to copy his successful experience, he must try to restrain it, and only in this way could he eliminate more Qing troops with the least losses in the absence of strategic depth and the inevitable disadvantage of troops, and complete the mission of driving out the Tartars and recovering the old frontier of China.
Seeing this, Chen Wen once again came up with the same set of methods as facts and reasoning. When he was doing sales, he relied on this method to obtain a higher transaction rate than his peers, and after coming to this era, he also persuaded many people with this method. Civil officials like Wang Yi and Wang Jiang, or warriors like Yu Guowang have all been persuaded by his incorruptibility, and today he needs to brainwash these subordinates again, so that they can get rid of the shackles of dogmatism more quickly.
