Zhu Youxiao, who announced the last early dynasty in the past ten days, didn't care about the reactions of the Donglin Party at all, and led people to start the official training of the Beijing camp.

The Beijing camp is divided into three battalions, which are basically infantry and cavalry, and among the infantry, there is a Shenji battalion, which uses firearms.

After Zhu Youxiao came to the Shenji Camp to inspect it, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The main firearm of the Shenji Battalion turned out to be the Three-Eyed Gun, which had a range of only 50 meters, and only had the ability to break armor from more than 20 meters away.

"Your Majesty, the northerners are more willing to use the three-eyed gun, and they think the bird gun is too troublesome." Sun Chuanting said to Zhu Youxiao: "In the past, Qi Jiguang once said that the northern soldiers were impatient with the drama, insisting that the three-eyed gun of the fast gun was more convenient than the bird's gun. ”

Compared to the bird's gun, the three-eyed gun is indeed a little more convenient in firing.

"These three-eyed guns must be eliminated, in the future, the Jin army will all be dressed in cotton prices, and the three-eyed guns themselves will be too powerful, and they will be even less lethal to the post-Jin army." Zhu Youxiao decided that there are many firearms in the Shenji camp, but there are very few firearms that can keep up with the times.

Among the domestic firearms, the better one should be the Tiger Squat Cannon. Other firearms, with the development of the times, have lagged behind the West and have fallen a little out of step with the times.

In terms of tactics, the Beijing battalion adopted an offensive formation with the Shenji battalion in the front, the cavalry in the center, and the infantry in the rear. First bombarded the enemy formation with the firearms of the Shenji Battalion, then the cavalry launched a charge, further disrupting the enemy formation, and finally the infantry pressed up to completely solve the battle.

Such a tactic is still very useful when the country is strong, and it is still very useful against the Mongols today.

But it is not so easy to use against wild boar skin. As soon as the offense doesn't work, the flaws will be revealed. Or be lured into a trap by a wild boar skin.

Zhu Youxiao then decided to change the offensive tactics into defensive ones, and it is clear that in this regard, the Spanish phalanx in Europe is famous.

However, the Spanish phalanx does not seem to be suitable for the use of the Ming army, although the Spanish phalanx organically combines the musketeers of long-range attack with the spearmen of close defense, but the configuration of the Spanish phalanx of evenly distributing arquebusiers around it, although it can avoid the rear flank being attacked, but if the enemy attacks from a certain direction, only less than half of the musketeers can carry out their firepower, which is a great waste of troops. Moreover, it is not easy for the Spanish phalanx to command and control, and the training is also time-consuming and laborious.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered the improved version of the Spanish phalanx - the Morris phalanx.

The biggest difference between the Maurice phalanx and the Spanish phalanx was that Maurice divided the arquebusiers in two, so that the arquebusiers could either be on either side of the pikemen's phalanx, or they could retreat to the back of the spearmen to form a new phalanx, which could also be attached to the languider's side. This increases the attack power of the front of the phalanx, so that all the soldiers can concentrate their attack on the front of the phalanx, on the front of the phalanx, the arquebusiers can unhindered their firepower, and if the enemy rushes closer, the spearmen either go forward to defend or hold on to the spot, and the arquebusiers retreat to the rear of the spear phalanx to form a new phalanx, which makes it easier to change formations.

At the same time, the Spanish phalanx was 20 columns deep, which was changed to 5 columns by Morris.

Back in the palace, Zhu Youxiao has been entangled in this problem, constantly writing and drawing on paper.

The depth of the 20 columns of pikemen in the Spanish phalanx was something that no cavalry unit could break through alone, and the depth of the 5 columns of the Maurice phalanx seemed to be too little.

"It is better to increase the depth of the Morris phalanx, which can also retain the full play of firepower, and at the same time have a strong resistance to the impact of the cavalry." Zhu Youxiao had a whim, and soon synthesized the Spanish phalanx and the Morris phalanx again, creating a new phalanx.

This new phalanx, with pikemen in the center, is a row of 50 men and 10 columns in depth. The musketeers on the left flank were in a row of 25 men and 10 columns in depth, and the same was true for the musketeers on the right flank.

One such phalanx consisted of about 1,000 people, organized into a battalion.

The main reason why Zhu Youxiao changed the Morris phalanx was that the Morris phalanx was aimed at the transformation of the battlefield shape in Europe, and it was not completely applicable to the Asian region.

Europeans have entered a period of universal firearms warfare, and the use of artillery and muskets on the battlefield is extremely common. After each other has these weapons, it is natural to extend a lot of targeted tactical systems.

The main enemy faced by the Ming Dynasty was the wild boar skin, which did not have a firearms army, but was mainly based on cavalry. In the face of such an enemy, the defensive strength of the Spanish phalanx is definitely a desperate storage for the boar skin, but the Spanish phalanx is too cumbersome and a big problem, and the long-range firepower is not enough.

The long-range firepower of the Morris phalanx is much stronger than that of the Spanish phalanx, but if the depth is too shallow, it is easy to be broken through by the boar skin.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao simply combined the advantages of the two kinds of phalanxes to deal with the wild boar skin cavalry, and then combined them, so he came up with this new phalanx that was more suitable for the Ming army.

"This phalanx is called the Apocalypse Phalanx." Zhu Youxiao was very proud. One of the advantages of this kind of phalanx is that it is relatively simple, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Qi army, but the training of the Qi family army is more troublesome, it is difficult to train the army on a large scale, and not everyone knows how to train such an army.

Compared to this simple phalanx tactic, it is very easy to learn.

The kind of army of the Qi family army is similar to the German army in World War II, and the organization and tactics are relatively sophisticated and advanced. However, in the end, they were defeated by the simple and brutal American and Soviet forces. The U.S. military used brainless bombing and firepower, and the Soviet army used brainless bombing and artillery fire, consuming the lives and deaths of the German soldiers.

The more delicate things are, the more they often can't stand the toss.

Simplicity and brutality are kings, so Zhu Youxiao did not use Qi Jiguang's training methods, after all, that kind of army is too professional, but pondered a new type of phalanx.

As long as there is money, the Ming Dynasty can pull out a large number of troops, and what is needed at this time is a simple tactic that can be quickly popularized to support the rapid explosion of troops.

"Your Majesty, this tactic is indeed relatively simple, but the specific implementation needs to be continuously improved." Sun Chuanting looked at the phalanx drawn by the emperor and the configuration of the troops written below, and was still quite optimistic about the emperor's innovative behavior. It's just that if this new tactic can really succeed, it is only a small step in front of us, and there are still very things that need to be perfected and supplemented later.

"We can take our time." Zhu Youxiao is not in a hurry. At least this tactic is no problem to train a Beijing battalion out first, and it is completely fine to deal with internal rebellion.

Immediately, Zhu Youxiao transferred a training group from the two cavalry divisions of Tengxiang and Wuxiang to devote himself to the training of the Beijing battalion.

Although the infantry was being trained this time, the cavalry division had formed a sufficiently obvious awareness in terms of discipline and training. Colonel Zhu Youxiao handed over the infantry training method to the training group and asked them to first train the infantry in Beijing in accordance with the above method.
