"As long as we train our soldiers well, in this world, I won't let me take them!"

It only took a few days for this sentence to spread throughout the Righteous Army, and for the commanders of the eleven regiments of the Righteous Army, the words of the Metropolitan Governor made each of them feel agitated, and they were even more riveted and redoubled their training of the soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In their opinion, this sentence is undoubtedly the ambition of the Grand Governor, for these regimental and battalion commanders whose net worth and lives have been completely tied to the righteous army, if the Grand Governor can take over the world in the future, then they will undoubtedly be the ministers of the dragon one by one, and there will be no shortage of glory and wealth at that time.

What should I do if I take over the world?

Just like the Metropolitan Governor said - train the troops! Only by training the soldiers well can we win the world!

Daily drills!

For the Chinese army in 1853, it was extremely new, after all, even if they were "hereditary soldiers" like the Eight Banners, at most they were almost every three days, and as for the drills, they were only occasional, and as for the green battalion soldiers, it was even more rare to practice for three or four days in a month, and even only had to pay a few hundred wen to pay free money, so that they could continue to do their business and support their families.

In short, whether it is the Eight Banners or the Green Battalion, the drill is not even superficial for them, but almost no drills, and the battle is all based on a momentary blood bravery.

However, for the Han Rebels, who occupied half of Hubei, this drill was an indispensable part of the day, with daytime drills and even night drills at night. When the soldiers open their eyes every day, they need to run more than ten miles to "keep their muscles alive". Then what awaits them is a day of drills, which are nothing else, except for physical training, which is an extremely boring queue.

This is true for musketeers and tasselmen.

In short, after a day's training, these "Qiu Ba" will no longer have the slightest energy to cause trouble, and one by one they will lie down and sleep with their heads covered, and there is still the slightest energy to go out of the camp. However, because of this, the military reputation of the righteous army has always been quite good, and the military discipline is strict, even if they are let out of the camp now, they are afraid that they will not have the energy to cause trouble. Naturally, he also won the praise of the people.

But this more training than usual, on the one hand, exhausted the soldiers' energy, but also forced some soldiers who were originally paid lightly to become deserters. It's just a few days' work, and in the Wuchang camp, which is only 10,000 people, nearly 200 people have become deserters, and to some extent, this is far beyond everyone's expectations.

After all, in everyone's opinion, this rebel army is well paid, and it stands to reason that there should be no deserters, but there are not only deserters, but also many escapers!

"Calculate the proportion, but 2% of people are deserters, which is the case in normal times, if it is wartime, they will not escape by two or three percent!"

If it was only thirty or forty people, maybe Zhu Yifeng would not care, but now 2% of the people are deserters, but he has to take this matter seriously, even when he was in Huangzhou, there were not so many deserters.

"Governor Dadu, the ones who fled are some recruits, and most of the veterans are in the camp, besides, in a few days, thousands of recruits will come over to Anlu, and hundreds of people will escape, what's the big deal!"

Everyone, including Wang Fu, did not realize the seriousness of the large-scale appearance of deserters, but Zhu Yifeng had a clear understanding of this problem.

"No big deal?"

His brows furrowed suddenly, and Zhu Yifeng said coldly.

"If you can escape two hundred now, and in the future, you will be able to escape thousands of people on the battlefield, if you don't stop the signs of desertion now, what if they are used to fleeing on the battlefield in the future?"

This...... When everyone heard this, their faces were all tense, but isn't it, if there are thousands of deserters coming out during the war, do you still need to fight the battle? When the time comes, everyone's heads will be wiped out by these people!

When everyone looked at each other, Zhu Yifeng looked at Li Ziyuan, Lin Zhiping, Wang Fu and others and asked.

"Okay, now that the question arises, what do you think we should do?"

"The Metropolitan Governor, immediately order the local government to find the deserter, one rate to arrest it, and after the arrest, one rate in the camp in front of the public beheading!"

This is the most common practice, and there is nothing new at all.

"This method treats the symptoms but not the root cause!"

Li Ziyuan shook his head.

"Catching the deserter now doesn't mean that you don't cut off your head, but you should run away or run away!"

"Then, then reduce training, after all, ......"

"You can't train less, if you don't run out of energy, they'll use it elsewhere!"

Without waiting for Cui Lao Liu to finish speaking, Zhu Yifeng immediately interrupted him, the reason why the modern army committed crimes is that in addition to strict military discipline, the more important point is that it has exhausted the soldiers' physical strength through training, resulting in no energy to go out of the camp to commit crimes.

Just when everyone was talking word by word, Lin Zhiping, who had been silent, spoke.

"Will it have anything to do with the soldiers, what if we recruit all good families?"

Good family!

Lin Zhiping's suggestion made Zhu Yifeng's eyes light up, and he immediately thought of the difference between the recruitment of the newly built army decades later, and of course, the more important thing is the recruitment method of later generations.

"Yuda, your suggestion is good! That's right, it's a good family! ”

Glancing at Lin Zhiping appreciatively, Zhu Yifeng looked at everyone and said:

"Our current recruitment, only ask whether they are healthy, not ask their background, it can be said that the sedan chair, the servants, hooligans, and beggars are all in the camp, this kind of people are not enough to build, more than destruction, if it is not for the constraints of military discipline, I am afraid I don't know how much chaos will happen......

Of course, what is more important is the deterrence of the thousands of heads hanging on Wuchang City, not only to deter them, but also to deter their own people!

“…… This is the most critical problem, he took the money and fled, we have no way of knowing anything except that he was recruited in that house, and this must be changed...... Well, I think you can think about it......"

With his eyes half-closed, thinking about the recruitment methods of the newly built army in the late Qing Dynasty and the recruitment methods of later generations, Zhu Yifeng said slowly.

"I think that in the future, there can be a clear way to recruit soldiers, that is, the state and county should find out the household registration of each village, and order the chief, the chief, and the local security public to raise a number of people to serve as soldiers. Well, also, it is necessary to formulate the law of the righteous army as soon as possible, and it is strictly forbidden to disturb the people and harm the people; If a soldier absconds, he must be closely investigated, and if he has not been found for a month, his family members will be held responsible. In this way, the army can naturally prevent the entry of the defeated and vagrants, and if someone wants to flee, they will also have some concerns......"

After a slight pause, thinking about some ways in the future, Zhu Yifeng continued.

"There is also the distribution of this military salary, I think the rate of this military salary will be made public, and in the future, the recruits will directly select personnel to go to the original place of origin of the arsenal to pay it. A notice was issued in advance informing the family members to receive their salaries in person with the same obligation as soldiers, so that the soldiers would not have to worry about the future, and that they would not have any money in their pockets and would not escape from accumulating silver......"

Of course, the more important point is that the personnel sent to the local area to pay the military pay are not once a month, but can be once every two months or once every three months, so that a lot of money can be saved. Just like the arrears of wages for migrant workers in later generations, they are only "in arrears" for several months, or they are paid once every few months.

"This method of the Metropolitan Governor is good, if the soldiers of my righteous army are all children of local good families, why should the Metropolitan Governor not be supported by the local people!"

"But no, Dashuai, if that's the case, this team will naturally be easier to discipline than it is now!"

Someone started to start, and there was a burst of sycophants here, but that round of sycophants did not make Zhu Yifeng drift, but looked at everyone and said.

"Okay, don't shoot these sycophants, now that we've said this, let's continue to think about how to improve our military system, how to fundamentally avoid desertion!"

In his opinion, with the modernization of the army, especially after the Pacific shipped weapons from the warehouses in Shanghai, along with the firearms of the righteous army, this military system must be drastically reformed, to be precise, to make it more modern.

As for the military system, whether it is Li Ziyuan or Lin Zhiping, they are all laymen without exception, as for James, at most, he told Tang Haoran that the establishment of the Anglo-Indian Legion, as for why it is so organized, it is impossible to say why, in line with the doctrine of taking, more precisely, in order to adapt to the characteristics of the musket era, the British-style establishment directly adopts the doctrine of taking, if there is any change, I am afraid that the position of squad leader has been increased.

"Hope!"

In the end, looking at everyone, Zhu Yifeng began to talk about the meaning of military rank.

"In addition to being able to distinguish officers and soldiers, the more important point of this rank is that hope can make ordinary soldiers see the hope of promotion, just like a first-class soldier can be promoted to a private, a private-class soldier can be promoted to a corporal, and a corporal can be promoted to a sergeant. Of course, it is closely related to their interests, after all, every time they compete for a higher level, the salary will be increased, and how can they get promoted? ”

Faced with the question of the Grand Governor, Wang Fu and the others hurriedly said.

"Naturally, it has something to do with peace-based training, and if you train weekdays, you can naturally get promoted!"

"And killing the enemy, fighting bravely on the battlefield, you can also be promoted......"

While everyone is talking about the benefits of military rank for soldiers, they also begin to look forward to their own rank, and there is hope for ordinary soldiers, let alone them?

"That's true, then let's think about it again, what else can be done besides using the rank to let the soldiers see hope?" (To be continued.) )
