readx; "What? Don't even know the word 'country'? Liu Quanzhong said loudly to the black and oppressive recruits in the audience, "This word reads the country, the country of the country!" See, there is a box on the outside, and the word on the inside is the abbreviation of the word "domain" in "region". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info 'domain' is the place, that is, the land under our feet, there is a frame outside the territory, this is called the country! What is this box? It is the border of our Ming Dynasty, if we don't keep the border, wouldn't our 'country' leak everywhere, so can we still live in people? ”

All the recruits laughed, and they were all attracted by Liu Quanzhong's simple and vivid explanation. Liu Quanzhong continued: "The second question, what is 'the country', who knows? ”

Seeing that no one dared to answer, Liu Quanzhong explained: "You all know home, everyone has their own home. The country is made up of small families, which can also be seen as one big family. This time the imperial court conscription, Ben will know that many people are reluctant, they feel that they are just a small people, they just want to live their own small life, and fighting is a matter of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with themselves. Do you think so? ”

He really spoke out to many people, and many people echoed it. Liu Quanzhong immediately said solemnly: "But I am going to tell you that the country is home, and home is the country." If the Tartars break through the Jingshi and the country is gone, do you still want to preserve your little family? I don't need to tell you that you should have heard of the evil deeds of the Tartars burning, killing, looting, and 'raping' silver, 'women' and 'women'. Now that the Tartars are coming to the capital, as a dignified seven-foot man, if you are willing to be a shrunken turtle and not resist, the same bad luck will soon befall your family! ”

After Liu Quanzhong finished speaking, the audience fell silent, and every recruit was thinking seriously. In the past, when the government sent servants, they either did not give reasons, or only said "to serve the imperial court and contribute to long live", so the common people naturally thought that the conscription did not benefit them at all, and it was completely for the emperor's old son to work for nothing. This military service can also be regarded as a kind of conscription, and if it is not done well, it will cost death, and of course the common people will avoid it.

However, Liu Quanzhong's words made them realize that being a soldier is not only for the court and the emperor, but also to defend themselves and their families. Some of the young and vigorous recruits shouted: "General, we are not a bad breed, we are not turtles with shrunken heads!" If the Tartars come, we'll play with the dogs! ”

Everyone laughed, and Liu Quanzhong also laughed: "Good guy, there is really a kind!" But you can't just dare to play with your life, the Tartars are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind on horses, you are still eight feet away from others, and people will 'shoot' you down with an arrow, you can't even touch the corners of other people's clothes, how can you play with your life? Besides, the Tartars are an army of more than 100,000, even if you take one as ten, how many Tartars can you kill? ”

Seeing that everyone was thinking carefully, Liu Quanzhong gave the answer: "That's why the Holy Lord wants to form a new military camp and recruit you into the army." If you were a finger before enlistment, then after enlistment, you are an iron fist, and you can beat the tartar with a clenched fist! In the barracks, you will be taught how to kill the enemy and how to protect yourself, and if you master these skills, you will be able to better defend your country and your family! This time, you know why you joined the army! ”

Everyone agreed with a bang, and many recruits who were forcibly arrested heard these words, and their resistance was dispelled a lot. Zhu Youzhen was also very satisfied with Liu Quanzhong's speech, this set of "ideological and political work" is the heirloom of Qin Bing, and of course it was also borrowed by him from his previous life, and it seems that Xie Sheng has consciously applied this set to the three major battalions.

At this time, many recruits who were in a 'sexual hurry' asked to receive weapons and participate in training immediately. Liu Quanzhong said sharply: "Once you enter the barracks, you must abide by military regulations." There are no rules, there are no rules. From now on, you are no longer an ordinary person, you must restrain yourself with the higher requirements of the military, otherwise you will get out of here as soon as possible! My Ming military regulations have seventeen laws and fifty-four slashes, and all of you will have to memorize them in the future. Now Ben will tell you the three most important military regulations: first, strictly abide by military orders, and prohibit them; Second, do not bully the people and rob property; Third, all seizures shall be 'handed over' and shall not be 'privately' hidden! ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed secretly after hearing this, in fact, these three were the "three disciplines" of our army in the previous life, and they were also moved by him as they were, but they were replaced by the words of this era.

Next, Liu Quanzhong began specific training for the new military camp. First of all, it is necessary to establish an establishment, because there is not a single original Ming army general in the new military camp, which is equivalent to a blank piece of paper, and the establishment problem is easier to solve.

The new military camp roughly refers to the establishment of the Qin soldiers, with ten people as a squad, three squads as a platoon, followed by companies, battalions, regiments, and divisions, which are also roughly three or three. In the end, the new military camp was organized into five divisions, named the New First Division, the New Second Division, and the New Fifth Division, with 10,000 men each; The division has three regiments, each with more than 3,000 people; The regiment has battalions, each with about 1,000 people. Therefore, the "new barracks" is only an external name, and the internal is already a standard modern establishment.

Of course, the establishment of the new military camp is not exactly the same as that of the Qin soldiers, there are no cavalry, artillery and other arms, and all the 'colors' are infantry. First, Zhu Youzhen does not have so many resources to form more cavalry and artillery units, and second, the recruits are not yet completely combative, and they are even more incompetent for such high-level arms as cavalry and artillery.

In the next training, Zhu Youzhen didn't have time to watch. In fact, he didn't expect these recruits to fight in the defense of the Beijing Division, because an army composed entirely of recruits would have to 'spend' at least a few months to start fighting at the end of the war. Zhu Youzhen's establishment of a new military camp was, on the one hand, a reserve unit used as a reserve force, which would not be used until it was absolutely necessary; On the other hand, it took the opportunity of the invasion of the Later Jin Army to begin the overall reform of the Ming army.

As for the real defense of the city, it has to rely on the victorious Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion. In these three days, Xie Sheng completed a task that was crucial to defending the city, that is, to reconnect the Tonghui River, which had been repaired and completed, with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal before the Later Jin army occupied Tongzhou, and at the same time diverted the water of the Yongding River to fill the moat outside the outer city of Beijing.

Now the moat of Jingshi is no longer appropriate to describe it with the word "river". Because the water surface is as wide as 50 zhang, it is wider than the average northern river; The depth is also up to four feet, and it is completely impossible for the enemy to wade across the river or cross the river on horseback, so they can only swim or row over, which is much slower.

However, this moat is not completely closed, and there is a gap about one mile wide in each of the four main 'gates' of the outer city, Yongding 'Gate', Taiping 'Gate', Kunlun 'Gate' and North Pole 'Gate'. At the time of construction, the Ministry of Works strongly opposed this plan, believing that the opening was too wide, and the enemy army could swarm in from here, and it would be meaningless to dig such a wide moat.

However, Zhu Youzhen insisted on his own design on the grounds that "the city defense must take into account the convenience of the people's travel", and did not explain too much.

When the rolling clear 'waves' filled the wide moat, Zhu Youzhen stood at the head of the Taiping 'Gate' and looked eastward, and at the same time silently said in his heart: Huang Taiji, I am ready, you should also come!
