As soon as Ren Siqi looked at the booklet, he saw a few handsome characters written on the cover: "Daishan Army Infantry Training Drill Manual". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Brother Hiko's good calligraphy!" Ren Siqi sighed in admiration and continued to read.

Li Yanzhi's booklet mainly writes about the infantry training regulations he drafted, which have been added and modified on the basis of the original Daishan Army training regulations.

Originally, the Daishan Army's training regulations focused on arrays, requiring that arrays must be neat at all times. On the contrary, little attention is paid to the training of soldiers' individual skills.

This kind of training focuses on cooperation, and can train a strong army. However, it also has its own limitations. For example, when the army is in a chaotic battle, when it is too late to put on a strict formation, the soldiers will appear at a loss and their combat effectiveness will be reduced.

You must know that the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the terrain is also varied, and it is not always time to fight to get you in order.

In the past, the Daishan Army did not pay too much attention to the training of individual combat skills, which led to heavy losses in the Battle of Jiaozhou.

Li Yanzhi revised the training regulations and added individual skill training to the array training.

Li Yanzhi stipulated that during the training period for recruits, in addition to training arrays, all soldiers should march 20 miles with heavy loads every morning and conduct individual combat skills training in the afternoon.

Musketeers practiced firing speed accuracy, although the musket bullets of this era were round, there was no rifling, the hit rate was very low, and the shot was not guaranteed beyond twenty paces, and the enemy could only be killed in the form of a platoon of guns.

Li Yanzhi stipulated that the target should be placed 20 paces away during the training of the musketeers, and let the musketeers practice shooting.

The pikemen trained them in strength and precision. In the battle between Jiaozhou and the Manchu soldiers, many soldiers obviously stabbed the Manchu soldiers, but they could not pierce the three-layer armor of the Manchu soldiers, which was the lack of strength.

Of course, to practice good marksmanship, it is not enough to work behind closed doors, but also to master the way to shoot the gun, a good marksman can pierce a hard tree with a shot, but often more powerful than him can not do this.

For this reason, Li Yanzhi found a real good hand with a gun, Yang Bin, a native of Cangzhou, according to legend, is a descendant of the Yang family general of the Song Dynasty, making it a good gun, "King Ji" Zhu Shuaiwei raised troops against Shun, Yang Bin joined the Ming army, and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Zhu Shuaiwei surrendered under the persuasion of Wang Aoyong and others, and surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty. Many people in the army were unwilling to surrender, and fought a battle with the Qing soldiers, but they were defeated, and the army was scattered. Yang Bin went to his relatives in Jiaozhou, and his relatives happened to be Li Yanzhi's neighbors. Later, Yang Bin defected to Daishan with his relatives.

After Li Yanzhi recommended Yang Bin to Ren Siqi, Ren Siqi specially asked Yang Bin to show his skills, and sure enough, the pikemen of a small flag were not Yang Bin's opponents at all. Yang Bin's marksmanship is not only stable and ruthless, but also extremely powerful, can easily pierce the trunk of the tree without damage to the spear, and the big gun will rise, and can shake up three bowls of gun flowers.

Before Yang Bin, the person with the highest martial arts that Ren Siqi had ever seen was Huang Fengwu, but now in Ren Siqi's opinion, the three Huang Fengwu together may not be Yang Bin's opponent.

After seeing Yang Bin's martial arts, Ren Siqi was overjoyed, and immediately crowned Yang Bin as the general flag and served as the gun instructor of the recruits. Yang Bin was asked to teach the soldiers the skills of using the gun, and to teach some gunning skills suitable for the battle formation.

Yang Bin is a real farmer, and after being entrusted with the post of general banner, he was immediately overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed to Ren Siqi, saying that he would do his best to teach the soldiers marksmanship and never hide his selfishness.

After a few days of thinking, Yang Bin summed up a few styles of spear skills suitable for use in the battle array, and after performing in front of Ren Siqi and Li Yanzhi, Ren Siqi simplified the complexity and asked him to teach only one type of straight stabbing spear skills.

"General, I'm afraid it's not enough to just practice the spear skills of this type of attack." Yang Bin said honestly.

"If five soldiers attack you at the same time, and everyone is well trained, can you block it?" Ren Siqi asked lightly.

Yang Bin thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't stop it, but I can dodge it." ”

"There's very little room to toss and turn above the battle array, where is there a place for you to hide? Even this trick is enough. ”

Since Ren Siqi said so, Yang Bin could only take the order, but he still pondered this trick repeatedly in private, in order to achieve the greatest power.

After pondering for a few days, he finally got something, and made a humanoid wooden rake with his own hands, and installed wooden balls on the important positions of the wooden rake, so that soldiers could stab at the wooden balls when they practiced straight stabs, so that they could practice both gunmanship and the accuracy of assassination. And turn this spear technique into a stab at different angles.

And Li Yanzhi compiled new regulations on the basis of his professor. Yang Bin loaded a total of nine wooden balls on the vital parts of the humanoid target, and Li Yan directly stipulated that the spearmen would be assessed after the training of the recruit period, sprint to the wooden rake from 20 steps away, stab at the wooden balls on the wooden rake, and return to 20 steps away to sprint again after stabbing.

It is stipulated that if nine stabs can hit nine wooden balls in a row, it is a first-class skill, eight stabs are first-class skills, and seven consecutive stabs are first-class skills. By analogy, those who stab four to six wooden balls are considered second-class, lower, intermediate, and upper skills, and those who stab one to three wooden balls in a row are considered third-class lower, intermediate, and upper skills.

A first-class skilled person is a first-class soldier, a second-class skilled person is a second-class soldier, and a third-class skilled person is a third-class soldier.

Li Yanzhi stipulated that all pikemen were divided into three classes according to their skills, and those who could not be stabbed with a single ball would be kicked out of the army, and soldiers of different ranks enjoyed different treatment. For example, a first-class soldier enjoys the same treatment as a general flag officer, and he does not need to kneel when he sees any superior officer, and he can serve as a low-level officer such as the captain and the small banner, and he will be given priority in promotion.

All soldiers are given a waist badge with their name number written on it, and to show the difference in status, the 1st class soldier's waist card is purple, the 2nd class's waist card is blue, and the 3rd class's waist card is black.

The monthly salary of a first-class soldier is two taels of silver, which is the same as that of a ninth-class staff, and the salary of a second-class soldier is one or five taels of silver, and the salary of a third-class soldier is only one tael.

In addition to the different salaries, the food was also different, the first class soldier had meat for every meal, the second class soldier ate one meat every two days, and the third class soldier could only eat meat every five days.

Li Yanzhi also stipulated that an assessment would be conducted every two months to redetermine the rank of soldiers, and those whose skills improved would be rewarded, and those whose skills would be punished.

This is a pikeman, for the musketeers, Li Yanzhi took the same method, but from the bayonet gun to shoot at the target, twenty paces away can shoot seven to nine targets in a row for the first class, four to six targets for the second class, and shoot one to three targets for the third class.

After reading Li Yanzhi's infantry training drill, Ren Siqi praised it greatly, and if he trained according to this drill, he would definitely be able to train a real elite soldier in less than a year. (To be continued.) )
