Although Mei Zhihuan generously sponsored Liu Jun and a batch of firearms, in the end Liu Jun decided not to change the original establishment and equipment allocation plan. The original six-team combat establishment of the left and right flags, as well as the weapon configuration of each squad, remained unchanged, except that an artillery team was added to the left and right flags.

The artillery team is under the direct jurisdiction of each flag and banner, but fortunately, this kind of tiger squat cannon is very light, and the operation is also convenient, and only two people can operate a cannon. Therefore, Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang finally divided three tiger squat guns and set up a new artillery group under their banner, which happened to form a team directly under the banner with the original four family members.

Two soldier flags, one flag has three war teams, plus one flag directly under the team. Each of the three warbands was still twelve men, one team leader, armed with a flag gun, a waist knife, and a small bow. Then there are four archers, armed with long knives and small bows. Then there are the four bird guns, with bird guns and long knives. There were two hookgunners left, armed with hook scythes and thirty rockets.

This kind of rocket does not use a bow, there is a gunpowder paper tube tied to the arrow, when facing the enemy, the hook gun is flat, and then the rocket is placed flat on the hook gun, directly ignite the rocket, and fire at the enemy, completely relying on the boost of gunpowder instead of firing with a bow. Although the accuracy of this rocket is very low, the range is very long, and when facing the enemy, the rocket rushes into the enemy's formation and runs around, and the enemy does not know who this rocket is going to shoot, which is a good equipment for creating a riot.

The last fireman, who is responsible for cooking, picks some baggage, and returns to the direct command of the team, and the other soldiers have no right to command.

Of course, they were still a horse team, so each soldier was accompanied by a horse.

In addition, each flag also has three tiger squat cannons, and four family members directly belong to the flag president.

The weapons and equipment had already been sent, but Liu Jun did not plan to let them start training in birds, bows and arrows, and horseback riding right away. Qi Shaobao also said that to train soldiers, you must first train your strength and courage, and then you must practice their skills.

Liu Jun served as a soldier in his later life, and he had to enter the recruit company for three months of intensive training before joining the army. The purpose of living and training together is to enable the recruits to quickly adapt to the process of civilian transfer, understand the normal order of life in the troops, and lay a foundation for the recruits to become soldiers through study and basic quality training.

Liu Jun felt that this process was necessary.

These monks, hunters, post soldiers, farmers, craftsmen, scholars, and so on recruited from all walks of life come from all walks of life, and they must first be boiled into a whole before they can talk about military training and formation.

"Jiye, what do you think is the most basic thing in military training?" Li Chunjiang asked.

"Orders forbidden." Liu Jun replied without hesitation. If the order can be carried out, then an army can be considered trained. It is said that Qi Shaobao was transferred to Jizhen to train troops, he took the Zhejiang soldiers to the north, and the soldiers and horses of Jizhou lined up to meet him that day, but it rained heavily halfway. The soldiers of Jizhou suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, but only the Zhejiang soldiers brought by Qi Jiguang were as immobile as mountains in the rain. When the soldiers in the north saw this, they were truly convinced of the prestige of the Qi family's army.

However, Liu Jun also knows how difficult it is to achieve the order and prohibition, and it is estimated that more than ninety percent of the army of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to do the order and prohibition.

"What does Jiye think is the first thing to train soldiers?" Li Chunjiang also knew that it was difficult to prohibit it, so he asked again.

Liu Jun smiled, "It is said that the emperor and the ministers in the court played against each other, and this issue was also discussed. Some ministers replied that the foot soldiers are fully paid and trained, and then they can become elite soldiers and be able to fight with Jianyu. Compared with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, our horse team can be said to have a great advantage, you see that we have more than 100 soldiers of three banners in one game, which can be described as foot soldiers. Moreover, each of our soldiers has a basic salary of two taels of silver, compared with the annual salary of many border troops of less than ten taels, we can be called a full salary. The only thing we lack now is foot practice. ”

"Then how is Jiye going to train the army?"

"Three months of basic training are carried out first, and the first month is only training for the queue, physical fitness, and the banner and golden drum order. From the second month, the training in various subjects such as riding, archery, swords, guns, and birds and guns will be increased. In the third month, the training of the array battle method began. ”

Li Chunjiang listened to what Liu Jun said seemed to be very reasonable, so he said, "You draw up a training plan, and I will leave all the training matters to you, you are the head coach of our horse team, and my family members, they have all fought with the Tartars in Liaodong, if necessary, I can also let them assist you in training." In addition, Mei Gong also sent a few gunners and gunners, and they could also help train the gunners and gunners. ”

"Don't rush first, let's do a month of basic training first, and then talk about anything else."

"Listen to you, these days I will be in charge of investigating the traces of the gang of thieves near Queen City." Li Chunjiang is very concerned about this and will never forget it.

"Be careful yourself."

With the support of Li Chunjiang, Liu Jun also officially became the head coach of the nine-headed bird team. His training method is basically based on Qi Shaobao's new book of discipline and effectiveness, combined with the actual record of military training, as well as his own experience in the army and his experience in martial arts.

Liu Jun issued the equipment to the villagers, asked them to take good care of the ordnance and armor, and even asked them to take care of the war horses themselves, feed and wash the war horses every day. However, there are strict rules that do not allow them to ride war horses, nor do they allow them to shoot arrows with bows at will, let alone fire cannons.

He put away the arrows and gunpowder and lead and locked them in the warehouse.

In the morning, the sky is slightly bright, and the wake-up call sounds, and then the drill horn is called. If one of the villagers in each team is late by mistake, then the whole team has to love punishment together. Penalty for running, push-ups, and frog jumping, but not for not having food. Punishment is punished, the rice is still eaten, and the food is still very good every day, the big white rice is full, and there is a meal of meat every day.

Various horn sounds began to be used in the barracks to convey orders, so that the soldiers could adapt to this method of communication and order in the army.

Then the formal training begins.

More than 100 people gathered on the school grounds, and they had not yet taken off the habits of those people, and they would inevitably have to talk to each other.

On the first day of formal training, the villagers had already rushed to the playground to stand in line, but Liu Jun, the head coach, did not appear for a long time. waited until the sun had risen in mid-air, and two hours passed, but Liu Jun still did not appear.

A group of people finally got a little impatient, especially the commanders of the left banner, they were originally Li Chunjiang's family members, and they had all been soldiers and fought in Liaodong, so they inevitably had some habits of Ming soldiers, that is, loose discipline.

"Liu Qi can't oversleep, right?" Mao Gui, the head of the Left Banner A team, crossed his arms and said in a somewhat weird way.

Team B team member Qian Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead and snorted, "I think he's just playing with us." ”

"Damn, Lao Tzu won't play with him anymore, whoever likes to stand will stand there." Li Chunjiang's three family leaders finally couldn't stand it anymore, so they broke away from the team one by one and went straight to the side under the tree to enjoy the shade.

At this time, Liu Jun had actually been looking at the playground in a room not far away. There was also a cup of herbal tea in front of him, and next to him sat Li Chunjiang, who had been going out early and returning late to track down the thieves for the past few days.

"Gongji, I'll borrow a few of your family members to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys, you won't be distressed, right?" Liu Jun said with a smile.

Li Chunjiang shook his head and chuckled, "You, there are always so many crooked ideas." But as long as it can work well, it doesn't hurt. To be honest, these people, who boast of killing Tartars in Liaodong, are usually arrogant and domineering, and even I don't pay much attention to them. If it weren't for the constant request from my family to arrange for them to follow me, I wouldn't want to take them. It's better for you to kill them today. ”

"That's good, I'm going to borrow a few of them today to make an example of the monkeys, and take the discipline of training seriously."

In ancient times, there was a killing stick, and when a prisoner was arrested, he had to kill the stick first.

Now that Liu Jun wants to train the army, he also thought of an idea, he should first take the Li family members who are usually the most domineering and don't take him very seriously.

Today, he deliberately delayed showing up, and let those villagers stand there for two hours at a time, basking in the sun, because he expected that the Li family would never be so honest to be exposed to the sun there.

But these guys are not bad, and they actually stood for two hours before leaving the team. Originally, Liu Jun thought that they would rebel in half an hour.

"Let's go, kill the chicken." Liu Jun waved his hand, and the four Zhongqi military prisons and his four family members immediately followed him and strode towards the playground.

The three Li family members under the tree over there also saw Liu Jun come out, but they didn't have the slightest intention of getting up and returning to the team. Liu Jun sneered twice, a group of idiots.

"Come on, take them down!"

The four military prisons in charge of military discipline and Liu Jun's four family members pounced on them, and the Li family's family members still resisted, Liu Jun personally walked forward, punched and kicked them, knocked them to the ground, and the military prison and the family took the opportunity to step forward and tie their arms one by one with cow tendons, and then carried them to the earthen platform.

When the villagers on the stage who were already a little impatient saw this situation, they were secretly frightened, and they couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, fortunately, they didn't leave the team just now.

"The surname is Liu, why are you taking us?"

"Why? I am your head teacher. Liu Jun snorted coldly, and then waved his hand, "When you were training, you violated the military order, left the team without permission, and complained and disturbed the morale of the army. ”

"Come on, drag it down, fight!"

The three Li family members who served as the leaders of the Left Banner Team were dragged down, and they began to fight when they pulled off their pants and exposed their buttocks. Stick by stick, stick to meat.

After a while, the twenty military sticks were finished, and the three teams were basically left with only humming.

"Carry it down and let the doctor heal."

Then Liu Jun announced on the spot that the three team general positions vacated by Zuoqi were temporarily vacant, and a month later, the township brave soldiers with the best performance in Zuoqi could have the opportunity to sign up for the three team general positions and choose the best.

After cleaning up the three Li family heads, removing the three from the position of team leader, and promising Zuoqi Xiangyong that they would have the opportunity to compete for the team leader, the atmosphere on the field suddenly changed. Originally, everyone was still a little crooked, but after a military stick, even though the sun was getting hotter and hotter, everyone cheered up.

However, in Liu Jun's view, these people are still just a rabble.

You must start training from the queue.

In ancient warfare, in fact, the most relied on battle formations, and battle formations relied on strict discipline and strict queues. The queue is the basis of the battle formation, if he can't even practice the queue, what kind of battle formation is there to talk about.

Especially Qi Jiguang's art of war, he pays more attention to the formation of the formation, and his Qi family army is a tactical unit based on the team. A team of twelve people is the most standard mandarin duck battle formation.

At present, Liu Jun is still training in teams according to the team, and twelve people are a team. The first part of the training is the three steps.

Walking, walking, running.

Based on these three steps, there are also squatting, standing, standing upright, saluting and so on.

This is the most basic training subject, and it is also the first step of training.

"The team with the worst training performance of each team will stand in a military posture for a quarter of an hour!" Liu Jun loudly announced the punishment measures. Looking at the disapproving appearance of the famous team villagers, Liu Jun sneered in his heart, "It won't be long before you will know what a severe punishment it is to stand in a military posture!" ”

"Training starts now!"
