Chapter 109: Changning Fort Training
When he arrived, he found that it was Zhou Daqi and Ding Bi who were beating and scolding their soldiers, and Ziren hurriedly stopped him when he saw this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After some inquiry, I learned that the two were training recruits, but these soldiers were negligent in the past, standing up in line and staggering, and many of them couldn't even tell the difference between left and right. The two were anxious for a moment, and punished them on the spot according to the custom in the barracks.
After learning the details, Ziren couldn't help but feel difficult in his heart, if he wanted to train into an elite soldier, there was no other way than strict training. However, blindly punishing soldiers cannot solve practical problems, and it is easy to turn the hearts of subordinates away from them over time. Ziren thought hard about this all night, and the next day called everyone to the school and announced several new policies on the spot.
The families brought from Liaoyang City have now moved to Changningbao with their families to settle down, and each male can get at least 50 acres of good military land on average. And the generals who followed Ziren, now the lowest official positions are all flag officers, and they can receive Yulu, and there is no need for Ziren to pay any more money. In order to treat everyone equally, Ziren announced the abolition of the family system. Ma Shinan did not dare to disobey Ziren's order, and also handed over his family to Ziren, and the food and salary were allocated by Ziren.
Subsequently, the soldiers in the fort were divided into three categories: infantry, cavalry, and firearms.
The number of foot soldiers was set at fifty, and the military system and equipment were the same as those of the previous family. In order to avoid too much impact on the tuntian, the training was ten days a month, and it was rotated every three months, and two hundred foot soldiers could be rotated in the fort in a year.
The drill is divided into three parts, and the first month is a queue training. The soldiers couldn't tell the difference between left and right, so Ziren asked him to find some pebbles the size of a fingernail from the river and put them in the shoes of each person's right foot. The soldiers are separated from each other, and they naturally remember the painful legs, and they will not make mistakes again after three or five days. If you really encounter someone who is born dull, you can't tell the difference between left and right for a day, and you are not allowed to take out the pebbles for a day.
In the second month, according to the different weapons handled by individuals, they are divided into three categories: firearms, long soldiers, and short soldiers. In the third month, the basic battle formations and banners are taught. During the exercise, the foot soldiers were given a monthly salary of one stone and five silver coins to supplement their physical fitness and subsidize the clothing worn out during training.
The cavalry has ten people in each team, and the original team brought by Ma Shinan is not collected at night. In daily life, he is responsible for going out to patrol the sentry, and he wears cotton armor to face the enemy as a horse archer.
The other is the iron cavalry, who chooses great strength and good fights, and is commanded by the king. On weekdays, he stayed in the fort, and when he was about to fight, he wore double armor inside and outside iron, and followed Ziren to charge into battle.
The cavalry is permanent, and the daily training is in charge of Wang Mingqiang and Ma Shinan. The monthly salary is one or two and a half yuan, one stone of grain, and one stone of horse feed.
The firearms corps is divided into two teams, artillery and birds, each team of 12 people, the artillery team is led by Lei Zhenwei, and the bird team is led by Lei Tiedan, all of whom are dressed in cotton armor.
Firearms officers are full-time and do not rotate, but they still need to be trained for three months a year, in much the same time and in the same way as foot soldiers. During the firearms training, the firearms soldiers were given one stone of food and five coins of silver.
Except for the cavalry, most of the soldiers in the fort were unpaid on weekdays. However, Ziren and the people were allocated a lot of military land according to their positions, and the taxes in Changning Fort were extremely low, and Ziren never withheld the monthly salary from the guards, so his life was much better than that of other guards.
(The soldiers of the Ming Guard have a salary of silver, and the highest commander makes the monthly branch of the natural color of rice three stones, and another two taels of silver and one cent.) The lowest soldier is one stone per month. )
If there are still people who do not want to make progress and do not contribute to the work during training, they will be punished for standing by the latrine for half an hour for the first time, the whole month's money and food will be punished for the second time, and the third time they will start to subtract 10 mu of military land each time.
After listening to this, the generals felt that this method was good, there were rewards and punishments, and they immediately implemented it, but they did not expect that the results achieved in a few days were good. Ziren also selected some excerpts from Qi Shaobao's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Records of Military Training", and summoned the captains of the fort and the officers above the general flag to teach them carefully.
Li Yongfang was quite motivated, and came to eavesdrop from time to time, and after being noticed by Ziren, he memorized him for a few paragraphs, and found that this kid could actually memorize a lot. Thinking that this was something to be made, I asked him to join in.
Although the operation of Changning Fort is gradually on the right track, it will take some time to form combat effectiveness. In order to guard against the large-scale invasion of Mengnu, Ziren sent Ma Shinan to lead the night to go out of the side wall for ten miles to investigate and inspect every other day, as a warning for sentry horses.
As the drill continued, Ziren saw that most of the mandarin duck jackets of the soldiers in the fort were in tatters. In addition, in the previous war, all kinds of ordnance were seriously damaged, and many of them could not be manufactured for a while. So he took Ding Youcai, Ding Shoutie, and ten soldiers to Liaoyang City to ask Yang Shaoxun to allocate some.
Ziren first stuffed Yang Shaoxun with fifty taels of silver, Yang Shaoxun saw that Ziren was his own and was so polite, of course he was embarrassed to refuse, and immediately sent someone to take Ziren to the arsenal to collect it. After arriving at the arsenal, Ziren gave a lot of benefits to the officials guarding the place.
Smoothly received it, 50 mandarin duck jackets and 100 pairs of iron mesh shoes. At the same time, Ziren saw that there were a lot of idle materials in the warehouse, so he privately purchased a Furlong cannon and five rounds of guns, 50 swords, and 20 rattan cards and 20 cards at a price of 100 taels. There are five pairs of wolf's tooth paddles, wooden skewers, and brick skewers, and they are equipped with two winches. plus 50 catties of gunpowder and iron, and 20 catties of lead.
After a busy time, it was already time to eat, and Ziren saw that everyone was in a hurry, so he found a restaurant to eat. As soon as he sat down, he saw a Jurchen Tartar carrying a birdcage and combing a money rattail pigtail walk in.
Wolf Tooth Shoot:
A kind of defensive weapon made of rectangular elm, which is equipped with thousands of wolf-tooth-shaped iron nails about five inches long, iron rings at the front and back, and tied with thick hemp rope. Drop from the walls and kill and wound enemies who climb the walls. Can be retracted with a tether and used repeatedly. Throwing heavy objects from the walls was a tactic that was often used in order to destroy siege weapons on the walls and repel enemy soldiers who climbed the walls.
Wooden Rafts:
It's a log that has been skinned. Of course, it is necessary to take as heavy and hard wood as possible to make long cylindrical garden rollers, and in order to improve the lethality, many nail-like protrusions are fixed on them. The mud is made into a garden cylinder, mixed with pig and horse mane, and then tamped, heated, and dried.
Bricks:
The cross-section is a gear-shaped rod, and the clay is sintered into bricks to form a cylindrical shape. Most of these rollers are disposable and cannot be used repeatedly to defend the city. The raw material is mud or clay that can be obtained locally, and the manufacturing process is simple, so it can be produced even if the city is besieged by enemy forces.
After these weapons are dropped, it is difficult to recover them. Therefore, there is a winch that can be retracted and reused with a thick rope.
(Tomorrow I have to work overtime, I may break the change, and everyone will bear with me at the end of the year, so I will be rewarded with two recommended votes, thank you.) )
