Chapter 30: The New Law Training, the Dragon and Tiger Legion (2)
Last time, it was said that Zhu Jian wanted to form a new army, and his name was called: Dragon and Tiger Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Outside the camp, the weather was already a little clear, but Zhu Jian and the others had already come out of the barracks.
"Jiandou, how is the formation of the new army, but I want to hear what you see?"
Zhu Jian said with a warm face.
Hearing Zhu Jian's words, Lu Xiangsheng's face tightened, but it was the truth.
"Your Majesty, the establishment of my Ming army is controlled by Emperor Taizu, but Weichen does not dare to comment on it."
Hearing what Lu Xiangsheng said, Zhu Jian smiled bitterly.
"Jiandou, I heard that the reason is impermanent, it is impermanent, Jiandou does not need to be so restrained, but Jiandou, "Zhou Li" said, poor will change, change will be passed, general will be long, Jiandou, now my Daming Weisu system has long existed in name only, it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, revitalize my Daming country, although the rise of recruitment, whether it is the Qi family army, or the Li family army, it is one after another, but I lack a pro-army of the Son of Heaven in my hands!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Jian sighed heavily, and his eyes seemed to be a little helpless.
"Your Majesty, Weichen."
For a while, Lu Xiangsheng was speechless.
What the emperor said, he heard it really, and he understood it clearly, now in this world, there are Liaodong Jiannu tiger ends, although there is Yuan Chonghuan Supervisor outside, Liaodong Iron Cavalry is also strong and strong, but after all, it is not the emperor's own soldiers, it can be said that it is the soldiers of the Yuan family, although Yuan Chonghuan is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, brave and loyal, heaven and earth can be learned, but the Guanning army is a private soldier after all, and the Qi family army of the year, Li Chengliang's Li family army is average.
In recent years, there have been bandits in this pass, and the soldiers of the guards in various places have long been overwhelmed, and most of the deployments used in various places are also deployed by local generals, and even some are regimental training of local gentry.
As for the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, although they inherited the emperor's order, they were the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but the situation in front of Lu Xiangsheng was already in his eyes, but from the inside and outside, it had already been decayed.
The enemy is outside, but it is a wild night!
Lu Xiangsheng understood that what His Majesty in front of him needed was that he trained not only an elite soldier for him, but also a pro-army that belonged to the Son of Heaven.
A warrior who is commanded by the emperor's order and daring to fight!
"Your Majesty, I am willing to smear your Majesty's liver and brain!"
The emperor can be regarded as a grace to himself, the so-called scholar dies for his confidant, not to mention that he appreciates himself in front of him is still the current saint, Lu Xiangsheng can't help but die for it.
"Jiandou is serious, get up quickly."
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng like this, Zhu Jian smiled and helped him up.
"Jiandou, the Dragon and Tiger Legion I gave you training, but I am relieved, but on the issue of the army structure, I think that the system of the guard station is not feasible, and the system of the three battalions is too cumbersome, but I have a heart, I wonder if Jiandou can listen to me?"
"Your Majesty, please speak, Weichen listens."
"Jiandou, I have heard that there are 2,500 people in the "Zhou Li, Xia Guan, and Preface Officer", and I heard that "Zhou Li, Xiao Situ" said that the five brigades are divisions, and the five divisions are armies, so I think that among the Dragon and Tiger Legions, there can be armies, divisions, and brigades, and I choose the word battalion commonly used in the army, and under the brigade, I take the company and team as the followers, each team has 20 people, five teams are a company, each company has 100 people, and the five companies are a battalion, and in turn, there are more than 60,000 people in an army, and each army is formed by two armies, but it is more than 120,000 people, and the fight is built, In your opinion, how? ”
"Your Majesty, this, I'm afraid it is."
Hearing that the number of Zhu Jian's new army was as high as 120,000, Lu Xiangsheng was a little unbelievable for a while, because the army of 120,000 was the sum of the number of more than 12 battalions in the Ming Dynasty, and the total strength of the three major battalions today is only more than 60,000 people.
With so many people, where did they gather at once, this is exactly what Lu Xiangsheng was worried about.
Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng had some concerns, Zhu Jian smiled and said.
"Jiandou, this matter will take time, and now I can only give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, half cavalry, half infantry, no matter how much, I can't take it!"
What Zhu Jian said is also true, firstly, now that Jiannu is forced to pass, there are not so many remaining troops, and secondly, it takes a lot of money to raise soldiers, Zhu Jian is poor, naturally he can't raise so many soldiers at once, and now these 5,000 soldiers and horses have reached Zhu Jian's limit.
Hearing Zhu Jian's words, Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said.
"Your Majesty is serious, the so-called Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, how can it be said that the Son of Heaven has no soldiers, and our courtiers are all His Majesty's soldiers, not to mention the number of five thousand, Weichen is also the first time, if there are more, I am afraid that there is a mistake in the emperor's grace."
Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, Zhu Jian smiled and said.
"Jiandou, hey, you!"
Suddenly, between his words, Zhu Jian said a little heavily.
"Jiandou, although there are only 5,000 soldiers, but this is about my efforts to turn the tide, Jiandou, how difficult your future is! Okay, I also know your intentions, let's go, don't talk about this, I will personally choose firearms for your dragon and tiger new army! ”
There is a firearms depot dedicated to storing firearms in the Shenji Camp.
However, it was said that the group was in the Shenji Battalion, and the spear was led by the minister, but they arrived at a relatively secluded firearms depot located outside the three countries.
"What a treasure trove!"
Entering the inner warehouse of firearms, Zhu Jian seemed to be in the hundred gardens of firearms.
There are many types of firearms, what are the marked guns, big general iron cannons, two general iron cannons, big general copper cannons, small general copper cannons, god guns, big copper Buddha guns, magic guns, flying guns, copper guns, iron guns, horse Buddha machines, magic arrows, iron Xuanfeng cannons, tassel guns, iron Buddha Lang machines, iron three guns, bowl mouth guns, small god cannons, iron thistles, new equipment is Jiulong pan gun, iron whip gun, rocket pan gun, child and mother cannon, rocket, etc.
There are partial van cars, mule drives, lookout cars, Yuan Rong cars, and drum cars. There are dozens of kinds of mines, such as stone mines, ceramic mines, and pig iron mines; Mines include underwater mines, underwater dragon king cannons and mixed river dragons.
"The wisdom of the ancestors is really not simple!"
Zhu Jian couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
Just when everyone was immersed in a kind of surprise, the gun warden on one side pointed to the firearm on the other side.
"Your Majesty, these are the most commonly used standard firearms in my Ming army, such as the Bird Gun, the Three-Eyed Gun, and the Big and Small Furlong Machine, and these ten are the ten new Hongyi cannons that have been added to the bureau recently."
Hearing this, Zhu Jian and the others noticed the neat rows of firearms on the side.
The red-clothed cannon, whether Zhu Jian is in the past life or in the present life, it is like thunder, this thing is a giant in the sixteenth and seventh centuries, with a range of up to 1.9 kilometers, Zhu Jian knew that the battle of Ningyuan that year, it was this Hongyi cannon that killed Nurhachi, so in Ningyuan City, Shanhaiguan and other important towns equipped with heavy artillery, Jiannu has not dared to attack easily, which is also the reason why Huang Taiji interspersed Xifengkou into the customs.
The Furlong machine gun, as a kind of large-scale rear-loading artillery that was transmitted to the West, was used in the Ming army on a large scale since the successful imitation in the Jiajing period, as far as the three major battalions are concerned, a battalion with 5,000 people as a standard is equipped with more than 200 guns.
Therefore, as the standard weapons of the Dragon and Tiger Legion, Zhu Jian felt that it was acceptable.
Zhu Jian understood that the battle of Sarhu and the battle of Liaoshen that year, the Ming army was defeated, to a certain extent, it was due to the use of these two individual firearms, which was mainly because the bird gun was susceptible to wind and rain when igniting the fire, and the shortcomings of retaining the fire and burning the fire rope could not be maintained for a long time, so it can be said that it is not comparable to the bow and arrow on a rainy day.
In addition, the three-eyed gun, in particular, is a relatively primitive musket, which is slightly inferior to the bird gun as an arquebus, but the difference between the north and the south, as well as the northerners are not good at the production of bird guns and the northerners are more advocating the so-called simple violence, so the three-eyed guns in the northern army are far more than the use of bird guns.
Because of these concerns, Zhu Jian was not ready to use these two as standard weapons in the newly built Dragon and Tiger Legion, but what kind of firearms did the newly built army use? Zhu Jian was a little at a loss, could it be that he couldn't use a primitive bow and arrow? For Zhu Jian, this is absolutely impossible.
Because Zhu Jian understands that the development of firearms is destined to become a trend, that is the trend of the world's progress, and that backward has replaced the advanced, even if this method will achieve certain results, it is by no means a long-term plan!
In Zhu Jian's heart, his opponent is by no means comparable to the Jiannu outside the Guan, he knows, and at the same time he firmly believes that what he has to face is destined to be the entire Age of Discovery! It's the whole world!
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Jian asked.
"Have there been any new types of firearms in the bureau lately, such as birds, that don't require an arquebus, as a firebolt for ignition weapons?"
Hearing Zhu Jian's question, the prison officer was also stunned, but after a while, he seemed to think of something, but it was the Tao.
"Your Majesty, the little slave heard that a kind of electric bolt has been made in the bureau recently, as if it is not ignited with an arquebus."
"Could it be a flintlock pistol?"
Hearing this, Zhu Jian was also shocked in his heart, although the memory from his previous life was that he knew more or less about firearms, but after all, he was not an expert in firearms, so he was also stunned when he heard what the internal officials said.
"Oh, I'm going to see it!"
