On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Su Tiancheng, Qu Qingze and Xiong Zijian came to the barracks of the Inspection Division on the outskirts of the city.

The barracks were newly built, surrounded by forbidden areas, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach.

There were not many sergeants in the city, and every day there were sergeants who took turns guarding the city gates and patrolling the streets, and the rest of the sergeants were all trained in the barracks.

The system in the barracks was decided after Sun Yuankun and everyone discussed, Su Tiancheng inquired, and made changes to cancel the tunjun, so that the sergeant of the inspection department became a professional soldier.

As for the military household system, it still exists, but a lot of changes have been made, the inheritance system has been canceled, and the concept of Lao Tzu as a hero and a hero does not exist.

The sergeants of the inspection department belong to the nature of the local militia group, and they are not yet the regular army of the imperial court, and the five thousand sergeants, the supreme commander Sun Yuankun, is just the inspection of the nine products, and the following settings naturally have to make some changes.

Five thousand sergeants, set up into five battalions of 1,000 men each, including two cavalry battalions, one Shenji battalion, and two infantry battalions.

Each battalion has five flags, and each flag has 200 men.

There are five teams for each flag, and each team has 40 people.

From the battalion to the team, the setting of the commander is the same, one positive and two deputies.

The most important revision is the treatment of non-commissioned officers, which is paid 200 taels of silver per month for the battalion commander, 180 taels of silver per month for the deputy battalion commander, 100 taels of silver per month for the flag commander, 80 taels of silver per month for the deputy flag commander, 50 taels of silver per month for the captain, 40 taels of silver per month for the deputy captain, and 5 taels of silver per month for ordinary sergeants.

Such a system of stipends has already begun to be implemented.

It's a heavy burden, and one that must be endured. According to this system, the annual need for 5,000 soldiers was close to 600,000 taels of silver, and the total amount of silver needed was 700,000 taels of silver.

With such a high salary, it is impossible for Jiangning County to maintain a huge army.

Su Tiancheng's thoughts are the same. The army does not need too many people, at most 30,000 people, the emphasis is on the quality of the sergeants. Moreover, there is also a clear difference in the treatment of sergeants, and it is impossible to be exactly the same.

In the army, corruption is absolutely not allowed, and there are special sergeants in each battalion, flag, and team who are responsible for supervision. If there is any behavior of embezzlement of ink, report it immediately, and once it is verified and implemented, it will be severely punished.

After the treatment of the soldiers was implemented, the degree of self-discipline of the sergeants of the Inspection Division was incredible, especially the 3,000 sergeants from Mount Emei, whose families also went to Jiangning County. With his own income, he can fully support his family.

Sergeant of the Inspection Division. It has become the envy of the people of Jiangning County.

Many young people in Jiangning County want to be able to enter the Inspection Division, but unfortunately they have no chance for the time being.

Su Tiancheng, Qu Qingze and Xiong Zijian arrived at the door of the barracks.

Whoever arrives at the camp gate must dismount.

The three dismounted and tied the reins to the stakes outside the barracks. Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang, Luo Chang, Liu Tiehan, Ma Huabiao and others greeted them outside the barracks.

The sergeant standing at the door of the barracks, like a stake, did not move.

"My subordinates meet your lordship."

Sun Yuankun and others, in accordance with the etiquette of the army. Kneel on one knee and salute Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng returned the salute with a fist.

All the sergeants stood in formation, and the horses were by their master's side, as if they understood that the situation was different today, and seemed very quiet.

Although there are only 5,000 people, the momentum shown by these people is as if thousands of troops are waiting for the battlefield to be ordered.

Su Tiancheng looked at it at a glance and felt an unusual momentum, which was very terrifying. Everyone did not move, and if they did not get the military order, even if they were swords in the sky, no one would dodge.

To produce such an effect, the focus is still on the usual training.

This is hundreds of years later, the training method of special forces, the first is to run with weights, carrying a 20-pound stone, running 5 kilometers a day, the second is the training of stable body shape, every day to hold a spear, in front of the spear, hanging a stone, motionless for an hour, the third is the training of knife and marksmanship and fighting, daily training, is also an hour, the fourth is the training of horsemanship, every day is an hour.

Su Tiancheng can't remember the training method of the special forces so clearly, but he still knows the general idea, this kind of training is called devil training, and the sergeants who can be boiled out through training are all one hundred.

The purpose of Su Tiancheng is to train an invincible special forces force, charge into battle, bravely kill the enemy, sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime, which is an unbreakable truth.

Now it is still the era of cold weapons, the restrictions of firearms are very large, shotguns and three-eyed guns, the time to charge gunpowder is long, the firing speed is slow, the accuracy is not high, it is greatly affected by rainy days, and the speed and impact of the cavalry are not very large, once the cavalry rushes to the front, only the part of the slaughter.

As for the cannons, they are all solid shells, and the lethality is not very large.

The real flintlock pistol has not yet been developed, according to historical records, the flintlock pistol was invented in the eighth year of the right attendant of the household department in Nanjing, Bi Maokang Chongzhen, and now it is the end of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the household department of Nanjing, there is no such person.

If you can find Bi Maokang, the flintlock pistol developed, then the meaning is completely different, the flintlock pistol is fired by impact, after pulling the trigger, the faucet is pressed down, because of the effect of the spring, and the flint friction fire, resulting in an impact, shooting out of the iron bullet, the biggest benefit of the flintlock pistol is to overcome the difficulties caused by wind and rain to shoot, and do not press the faucet with your hands, aiming is more accurate, in various situations, you can fire, the disadvantage is the firing speed and reloading, including the problem of exploding the chamber, There is still no solution that can be solved very well.

Su Tiancheng knew that he could not completely rely on the role of firearms, what he needed to rely on was still an invincible team of cold weapons, think about the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and rely on the cavalry to seize the world. He is not a firearms dealer, and it is impossible for a civil servant to have access to firearms, let alone explain the construction principle, but he accurately knows the role of firearms, and once the opportunity arises, he will seize it desperately, invest a lot of gold and silver, and constantly improve it.

Is there a temporary review stand, it has already been set up, and those who can go to the review stand are Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze.

Su Tiancheng did not go to the review stand first, but walked in front of each sergeant and looked at everyone, despite the harsh winter season, despite the cold weather, the sergeant standing on the playground straightened his body and did not move.

This is a unit that he painstakingly built, and it is also a unit that is absolutely loyal to himself, and he is grateful to every sergeant, and he needs to rely on these sergeants to turn things around and rewrite history.

Qu Qingze was shocked, unable to describe it in words, when he entered the barracks, he felt a breath of slaughter, every sergeant was so strong, standing motionless, revealing a kind of momentum that gave up on me.

He has seen a lot of troops, but his feelings today are completely different, this is a completely different army.

Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze slowly walked onto the review stand.

"My lord, the five thousand soldiers of the Inspection Division, the queue is complete, please review it."

"Let's get started."

The scene changed instantly, Sun Yuankun pulled out the steel knife and raised it to the sky, the cold and shining steel knife was the order.

The cavalry battalion passed through the reviewing stand first, all with machetes, and the horses were under the control of the sergeants, in unison.

Then there was the Shenji Battalion, and at the end of the Infantry Battalion.

After the queue had all walked past the review stand, the dizzying drill began.

The cavalry battalion came out with two groups of 50 men each.

Liu Shiliang led a team, and Luo Chang led a team. Everyone was armed with wooden knives, and the wooden knives were wrapped in cloth, and they began to catch and kill each other according to the requirements of their usual training, and this kind of fighting required tactics, such as dividing troops into encirclement, charging in formation, and destroying the remnants of the enemy.

Then there was the shooting of the Shenji battalion, there was a stake in the distance, and they were going to shoot the stake.

The last is the catch-and-fight of the infantry battalion, which is also the most wonderful and brutal fight.

Su Tiancheng's expression was as usual, and Qu Qingze and Xiong Zijian's faces changed, and they were a little pale.

Some of the sergeants fell off their horses and fell heavily to the ground, but they did not say a word, and quickly stood up and led their horses to the side, and some of the sergeants could see blood on their hands.

The wooden knife wrapped in thick cloth could be heard when it was slashed on the body, the neighing of the horses, the roar of the sergeant, the shadow of the sword, but there was no moaning scream.

An hour later, the drill ended. Whether it was cavalry, the Shenji battalion, or the infantry, in the process of fighting hard, the two sides implemented a concept that when they did not receive the order to retreat, even if they fought to the bottom of the battle, they could not retreat.

Su Tiancheng clasped his hands into fists, bent down and bowed, and saluted all the sergeants on the playground.

"I want to thank you, let me see self-confidence, see honor, an army, what is the most important thing, is the soul of the army, is the belief of invincibility, when our homeland is about to be invaded, when our relatives are about to be slaughtered, when our family is about to be humiliated, what we need to do is to take the steel knife and spear in our hands, unceremoniously cut at the other party's head, our muzzle and cannon, to roar at the enemy, to make our opponent tremble, tremble, let them kneel in front of us and beg for mercyI believe that your brothers can do it, and we are an invincible army. ”

"We must swear allegiance to the Lord and swear allegiance to the Ming Dynasty......"

Sun Yuankun took the lead in saying the slogan, and everyone shouted it out, the voice was deafening, and there was enough momentum.

After the exercise, the banquet has been set up, and today is special, you can drink alcohol in the barracks.

Su Tiancheng was in high spirits, picked up the big bowl, and toasted the many sergeants, this time, he was drunk. (To be continued.) )
