Chapter Eighty-Nine: Training Outline

There are not many ancient poems that Yang He can recite, but there are many poets and lyricists who know it. In fact, as long as you are Chinese, you can call someone out at will, and you can name several poets and lyricists.

In Yang He's impression, Li Qingzhao and Lu You and Xin Qiji belong to the same era of poetry, and are known as the first talented women in the ages. (Note: Li Qingzhao was born more than 30 years earlier than Lu You, and more than 50 years earlier than Xin Qiji, not a generation.) )

Such a talented woman will naturally be admired by countless descendants, Yang He does not think that Miss Liu likes to read Li Qingzhao's poetry and anthology to be called a talented woman.

However, Yang He will not argue with Zhao Liangsong about whether Miss Liu is a talented girl, not to mention that Miss Liu will hear it next door, even if she can't hear it, Yang He will not be so boring.

Pointing to the desk, Yang He smiled and said, "Come, help me write something." I'll just say what you mean, and you can use your own words. ”

Zhao Liangsong nodded: "Students understand." ”

After that, he sat down at the table and picked up his pen.

Yang He paced a few steps in the tent, and then said:

"1. It is planned to recruit 800 township soldiers, who are 15 to 20 years old, and whose service period is 15 to 20 years. The first three years of service are the period of recruitment, and each person is tentatively paid seven cents per month, and if there is war during the recruit, the salary is doubled, and there is a silver reward. At the end of the three-year recruit period, they will be evaluated, and the rank of the soldier will be assessed according to the results.

There are four grades:

The fourth class is the treatment of ordinary soldiers in the border army, with a monthly military salary of one or two or three yuan per person, and subsidies such as rice, flour, and oilcloth.

The third class is the treatment of elite soldiers, with a monthly salary of one or two or eight yuan per person, and subsidies such as rice, flour, and oilcloth.

The second class is the treatment of family soldiers, with a monthly military salary of two or three cents per person, and subsidies such as rice, flour, and oilcloth.

The first class was promoted to an officer, and the military salary was compared with the rank of the imperial court officer.

Second, recruit 20 to 30 teachers to teach the recruits to read and write, and each of them will be paid three taels of silver per month, and there will be subsidies such as rice, flour, and oilcloth. If the professor's students have good grades, there will be a silver prize.

3. Forty soldiers of the Guards Battalion were selected to serve as recruit instructors, of whom eight were sentinels and thirty-two were appointed as chief and deputy officers, with 50 recruits in each team. ”

After speaking, Yang He said to Zhao Liangsong: "That's what it means, you polish it, and I'll discuss it with Zhang Zhixian when I go back." ”

Zhao Liangsong nodded, and reformulated the words according to what Yang He said.

After writing, Yang He took it and looked at it, there were a few words that he didn't know, and after asking Zhao Liangsong, he learned a few more words.

Yang He folded the paper and put it in his arms, then pointed to the table and said, "Go on." ”

Zhao Liangsong nodded and listened carefully.

Immediately, Yang He slowly talked about the training methods of later generations of soldiers combined with some of the methods he used in his previous training.

Yang He summarized the methods of physical training and strength training.

After the bloody battle of Quang Ninh City, Yang He knew the importance of physical fitness to an army.

In fact, the most basic thing in training soldiers has been the same from ancient times to the present, that is, physical fitness and strength, and then combat skills and coordination of arms.

The soldiers of any army are not good if they do not have sufficient physical fitness, especially in cold weapon combat, which requires super physical strength to maintain continuous combat.

You must know that the battle between the two armies is a fight to the death of the enemy, if you can't kill the enemy soldiers, you may be the one who dies, so every knife and every shot that the soldier throws must go all out.

And a fight like this requires a lot of physical strength.

If you can't understand how much physical strength is consumed in cold weapon combat, you can take a look at the boxing match, two boxers only fight for three minutes in a round and sweat is pouring rain, you can imagine how much physical strength the boxers consume in these three minutes.

When the two armies fought, although the frequency of soldiers swinging knives and guns was not as fast as that of boxers, every knife and every shot was equivalent to a boxer making a heavy punch.

The boxer can rest for one minute after three minutes, and the battle between the two armies is a life-and-death contest, so you can't cut a few knives and say to the enemy, let's rest and continue to cut.

Therefore, physical fitness is crucial to soldiers, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a matter of life and death.

Although the Ming army also attached great importance to physical training, the method was very different from that of later generations, mainly using the method of lifting stone locks and slashing stabbing spears in array.

In Yang's view, this kind of training is more about building strength than endurance.

The army built by Yang He not only requires soldiers to have strength, but also the ability to fight for a long time, and training like the Ming army cannot meet Yang He's requirements.

Therefore, Yang He adopted the training methods of later generations of soldiers, combined with the methods he used in the previous training of physical fitness.

The method is very simple, in fact, it is to move and be still, and train for a long time.

The so-called one movement is long-distance running training, five, ten, twenty kilometers, constantly increasing the weight, and then weight-bearing running, with sandbags tied to the calves for long-distance running training.

Yang He's highest record was a 10-kilogram sandbag tied to each leg and 80 kilometers with 30-kilogram equipment on his back.

The so-called "one quiet" means standing still, standing still for two hours or four hours, and Yang He once lurked motionless in one place for two days and two nights.

As the best secret agent of the intelligence department, Yang He often carried out some assassination missions, which required him to have a high degree of patience, Yang He once ambushed for three days and three nights in order to assassinate a target, and finally completed the mission.

Of course, Yang He's previous training belonged to devil training, so naturally it could not be used on recruits, and there was no need.

Yang He's stated goal is that after three years of training, the recruits will be able to run 10 kilometers with a weight of 20 kilograms and stand still for four hours.

To be able to do this, the physical strength and endurance of the soldier are far beyond human reach.

As for strength training, Yang He felt that the current training methods of the Ming army were very good, and there was no need to engage in other tricks.

Then there is the training operation.

Yang He knows very well that the arsenal develops new weapons and then equips the troops on a large scale not in three years or two years, and cold weapons will be used during this time. (The regular army of the Ming army was not fully equipped with firearms, and it was impossible for the imperial court to equip the township soldiers, and even if they did, they would not equip the township soldiers)

And cold weapon combat, especially the battle between the two armies, when the two sides begin to engage in short-handed combat, there is no skill at all, Yang He believes that as long as you do three words, that is, fast, accurate, and ruthless.

In fact, the two armies are fighting in formation, and it is impossible for a group of soldiers to rush towards the enemy with a shout like in the film and television drama, and then the two sides mix together and ping-pong and slash.

It could never be a regular army, it could only be a rabble.

When fighting with cold weapons, the arrangement of the troops is very strict, the task of the shield soldiers is to block the rain of arrows, the pikemen are ready to assault at any time in the formation, and the archers are suppressed in the back.

When the two sides reach a certain distance and the bow and arrow are useless, it is the pikemen who decide the victory.

Imagine what would happen if a crowd of people shouted and rushed towards the pikemen who were on standby.

The front row of the enemy's spears stabbed out, and the back row of spears followed, layer upon layer, rushing up in chaos only to send them to death, even if the cavalry rushed up, they had to finish the game.

Similarly, a disciplined army would never be able to break the formation in pursuit of the enemy.

Because the formation is scattered, the troops lose their ability to attack and defend, and once they encounter an enemy ambush, they will only be slaughtered.

Therefore, when the two armies have a head-on decisive battle, it is impossible to come out with that kind of chaotic scene, and they will definitely maintain a tight and orderly formation to attack each other.

And when the pikemen on both sides begin to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the competition is who shoots faster, whose shot is accurate, and whose shot is ruthless.

If you shoot quickly, you can stab the enemy first, and if you shoot accurately, you can stab the enemy's vital parts, and if you shoot hard, you can kill with one blow.

And if you want to be fast, accurate, and ruthless, you can only practice hard.

However, when practicing, you can't practice blindly, you have to practice fast, accurate, and ruthless, and you have to know how to hold a gun and how to exert force.

When holding the gun, the barrel of the gun should be close to the body, the right arm should be clamped, and the force should be fast, quickly stabbed out, and quickly retracted. (This is the technique of holding a gun and exerting force when fighting a bayonet)

Listening to Yang He's slow narration, Li Wei's eyes widened.

After Yang He finished speaking, Li Wei exclaimed: "Big brother, no wonder you are so powerful, you can infiltrate the Jianyu camp alone and ambush sixteen Jianyu, who did you learn this from?" ”

Yang He smiled: "Do you want to learn?" ”

Li Wei nodded again and again: "I want to learn!" ”

"When you come back, I'll train you myself, but you don't have to complain." Yang He said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid of hardship." Li Weidao.

Yang He gently patted Li Wei's shoulder: "Okay, ambitious!" ”

Li Wei smiled: "Big brother, when I finish practicing, will you let me lead the troops?" ”

Yang He smiled and said, "Want to lead the troops? If you want to lead soldiers, it's not enough for you to learn these things, you also need to know how to use soldiers. ”

"I'll study hard." Li Weidao.

"Well, you study hard, and I'll give you a unit for you to command in the future." Yang He said with a smile.

Li Wei was overjoyed: "Thank you, big brother." ”

Yang He smiled: "It's too early to say thank you, let's talk about it when you finish learning." ”

Li Wei nodded emphatically.

"Okay, you go and prepare, let's go to Ganzhou tomorrow." Yang He said.

Li Wei nodded, bowed to Yang He, and turned to leave the account.

After Li Wei left, Yang He drank a cup of tea, picked up the training outline written by Zhao Liangsong and read it carefully, thought about it and said: "An army pays attention to military discipline, and a unit without military discipline cannot win a battle, do you know the military discipline of our Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhao Liangsong shook his head: "Students don't know. ”

"You're my scribe now, and these things are something you need to know." Yang He said.

"Yes, the student immediately checked the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty." Zhao Liangsong said busily.

Yang He shook his head: "You don't need to check it, you go to the scribe in the army, he has military regulations and military discipline, you go and transcribe a copy, and you will tell the newly recruited soldiers in the future." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Liangsong said busily.
