Everyone who sat here and talked about it was a first-hand witness of the war, and everyone saw that under the onslaught of the cavalry, the foot soldiers had no means of pursuing and killing except to strictly hold the formation, and resist the enemy's horse attack and bows and arrows, and most of the enemies killed were struck by spears when the Tartars rushed into the formation.

Although there are only 400 arrows, they can always maintain an external lethal output from beginning to end, and they have been killing and injuring the enemy, and the generals also noticed that dozens of archers also fought the whole battle, and after the battle, their shoulders could not be raised, and it was calculated that they shot ten to eleven arrows, but the firecrackers generally fought fifteen, and in the end they could not shoot because the guns were overheated and carried limited ammunition.

Not to mention, if the enemy is hit by an arrow, if he is not shot at the vital point, he can still fight, and if he is hit by a firecracker, it is needless to say that he is killed, even if he hits the limbs, it is not rubbed, then ten ** will also cripple people.

In all respects, it has become a consensus to increase the number and proportion of firearms in infantry regiments.

After a few words, everyone began to calculate while recalling, how many firecrackers are suitable, and some people also proposed that this time with the cavalry of the Tartars in a field battle, so the spearmen were forced to move, if the two armies are infantry soldiers, the spearmen can make a big effort, but after the deduction, now in the state of infantry against infantry, increasing the number of firecrackers will have a greater advantage, this is the consensus of everyone.

The discussion was very boring, and it was very clear how the musketeers fought, and all that was to be said was what ratio and how to arrange a regiment of musketeers and spearmen.

The establishment of 1,600 men and eight battalions of a regiment will not be changed, but it will be increased from the original 200 musketeers per regiment to 600 men per regiment, that is, three battalions.

Originally, it was planned that there would be four battalions per regiment, that is, half of the ratio of firearms and half of the ratio of cold weapons, but the manufacture and training of firearms could not keep up, so this number was set.

The salary of the firecrackers is higher than that of the spearmen, and the firecrackers should be filled by the best soldiers, and there is no objection to this, in the battle of the grassland outside the Saiwai, although the firecrackers do not need to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy, but they are the first to encounter the enemy, there is no cover, after shooting, they have to go back to the formation with the danger of being caught up by the enemy and slashed, load ammunition and continue to fight, they kill and injure the enemy the most, and self-protection is not as good as the firecrackers, such a class of troops must have enough courage and sophisticated and skilled combat skills.

The change in the military system of the infantry regiment set the tone, and Ma Sanbiao, the commander of the horse team, also said his thoughts:

"My lord, everyone, our horse team is fighting with the Tartars on the grassland, one-on-one is far inferior to the cavalry of the Tartars, but we can fight in formation, but we don't suffer any losses, the cavalry is wearing iron armor, the horses are covered with felt, and they charge next to each other, but the Tartars were directly scattered, at that time, the soldiers of Jizhen and Xuanfu had not yet come, and they were not in chaos!"

Seeing that everyone was fascinated by what they heard, Ma Sanbiao said again:

"The cavalry of the Huwei Army is not good, except for dozens of good equestrians, the rest of the people are only trained in the horse team, compared to those who have been riding horses for generations in the border army, not to mention the Tartars who grow on horseback on the grassland, but we also have strengths, others don't have our kind of iron armor, and we are not so rich, my subordinates thought, let's work this iron armor cavalry, people wear iron armor, horses wear leather pockets, and they are not afraid of his bow and arrows or something, all the way to the front and crash in!"

"Practice 200 rides first!"

Wang Tong immediately replied to this proposal, what Ma Sanbiao said was the way of heavy cavalry, which would indeed be very useful, and he could try to take it.

"I remember that it was said in the martial arts hall that this seems to be the number of roads that Zong Bi used to kidnap horses when Song and Jin were fighting."

Below, Sun Xin said in a deep voice, everyone nodded, and Mu En on the side was always standing, seeing that everyone was pondering, he opened his mouth and said loudly:

"My lord, my subordinates also have something to say!"

Compared with these people in the house, Mu En has no qualifications, and now he is only a hundred households, so he is naturally respectful, Wang Tong nodded, and Mu En said:

"My lord, this battle, the artillery is the most powerful, it can be loaded slowly, and it is not enough to kill the Tartars, but it is a few shotguns, which are very lethal, and the subordinates thought, can you ask the craftsman to cast a short cannon, specially load the shotguns, and wait for the enemy to rush in and shoot back, although it is inconvenient to load, but the damage is equivalent to a salvo of firearms."

Wang Tong pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice:

"That's right, let's place a tiger squat cannon on the outside of the car camp, loaded with iron sand to bombard, and this is a reason, Tan Jiang, you and Tan Huo and Mu En go to the sub-craftsman together, talk about this requirement, let the craftsman cast, this should not be difficult."

General Tan, who was standing on the side, hurriedly nodded in response, and when it came to artillery, Wang Tong spoke again:

"Zhang Wu, the chief flag of the artillery that day, was very honest and close to Pingsuli, but he couldn't see that he was so ruthless!"

On the battlefield, the commander-in-chief of the artillery team was red-eyed, and dared to light the artillery when the Tartars had already rushed to the artillery array, and those few shotguns not only killed a lot, but also played a great role in stabilizing the situation.

Tan Huo below said with a smile:

"Adults don't know, Zhang Wu is usually honest, as soon as he smells the smell of gunsmoke, his eyes are red, like crazy, but he is a good hand on the battlefield!"

Wang Tong nodded and said:

"This person also has great merit, and he has such guts, there is a special team of shotgun cannons, so leave it to him to do it!!"

Tan Huo and Mu En got up to receive the order, Wang Tong walked a few steps in the room, and listened to the command in front of the table:

"Cai Jianjun, this recruit recruitment and selection is divided into two batches, one group is selected from the security army, and the other group is the children of craftsmen and young people in our Tianjin Wei Craftsman Workshop, and they naturally don't want to have skills, but they are only there to help, and they can't learn any skills, they can be called to be soldiers!"

Cai Nan got up and agreed, there are a lot of young and strong domestic helpers in the official and private workshops, some people are there to help apprentices, and they can also learn a craft and become craftsmen, but some people are there to work hard to earn food.

The former should be left to the craftsman, but the latter can be replenished at any time, the young and strong people who were born in the land, the concept of collectivity and discipline are very weak, and in the workshop for a period of time, the workshop is a rudimentary industry, which has constraints on apprentices and helpers, and has labor discipline and the concept of collectivity.

Such young people are the best source of soldiers when they are added to the army, and they can become qualified soldiers faster than those who are born in farmers.

One thing after another, one suggestion after another was put forward, in the barracks on the edge of the martial arts arena, everyone was talking very enthusiastically, and Cai Nan on the side was flying there to record, what he said today must be done as soon as possible.

In the end, Wang Tong swept the list of records and said:

"You have worked hard, it's a new year, Tianjin Wei, Huwei Army, and you have to be diligent in your work!!"

Everyone stood up, bowed with their fists in unison, and said:

"I am willing to serve my lord, work diligently, and dare not slack off!"

This is all a stylized response routine, after saying this, it is time to disperse dinner and rest, Wang Tong said in a solemn voice:

"The day after tomorrow, the public memorial to the martyrs who died in battle, everyone remember!"

The crowd was stunned.

“…… The martyr's pension is 150 taels of silver, the family supports 15 taels of silver every year, the martyrs' parents and their families are tax-free for life, and the children of the relatives are given priority in the Tianjin Wei Army......"

The loud soldiers read aloud on the wooden platform, and the battalions of the Huwei Army stood solemnly below, while the martyrs who had died of their children howled heart-rending below.

After reading the treatment of the martyrs and their families, the person above handed it to the people below, took the proclamation with a big seal, and walked down the stage to show them to the martyrs.

At this time, who still has the heart to read this notice, but once it is publicized, it is also a procedure, and everyone believes in the credit of Wang Tong and Hu Weijun very much, and there will be no doubts.

“…… If the disabled person is unable to work, the person and his family will be supported by the Huwei Army for a lifetime, and they will be a soldier of the Huwei Army for life, and their family members will be the family members of the Huwei Army for life......

The families of seriously wounded soldiers are even more troublesome than the families of the war dead, and this family member who has no ability to work is a burden, and his family will be affected if he does not live well, but this practice of Huwei Army has helped them a lot.

Unlike those heart-rending and howling martyrs, after hearing this, the families of the disabled soldiers were stunned, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to thank them for their gratitude.

Such a ceremony costs a lot, and the subsidy for the families of martyrs and disabled soldiers in the future is also a lot of expenses, but Wang Tong knows that it is worth it, and it must be done, so that the soldiers of the Huwei Army know that they don't have to worry about their families if they are killed or injured in battle, which is also a certain degree of worry-free, which can make their soldiers more loyal and move forward bravely on the battlefield.

After saying the treatment, Wang Tong walked to the stage, and it was quiet all around, Wang Tong glanced at it, and said loudly:

"Die for the Ming Dynasty, die for the Ming Dynasty, they die gloriously, I will remember them, the Huwei Army will remember them, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will remember them!!"

After Wang Tong finished speaking, there was silence on the school ground, and after a while, the crying sounded again, I don't know who took the lead, and the soldiers yelled one after another:

"Huwei is undefeated, fighting for the Ming Dynasty!!"

Sixteen cowhide drums beat rhythmically, and from the east side of the school grounds, every six soldiers carried a coffin, each coffin covered with a flag of the Tiger Army.

Wang Tong stood upright on the wooden platform suddenly, his right fist was placed horizontally on his chest, and the whole army saluted in unison, and the audience was solemn......
