Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the golden autumn of October, the soldiers and horses of Ningshao Junzhen assembled in the Guanhaiwei Plain.
The flag is waving, the drums are shaking the sky, and the sailor and the foot soldier are still in the same place.
In addition to Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo, Feng Qin, Meng Kang, Bao Guang, Che Feng, Li Zhi'an and Yuan Qizhou, there were also sailors guerrilla Zhang Cheng, Wen Linzhu and Chen Huwei, as well as Yuan Shipu guerrilla Zhang Mingzhen.
On the high ground, the general platform is majestic, the "Ming" character flag and the "Zhai" character flag are planted on both sides, the soldiers are neatly arranged and mighty, and the posture of the cavalry is murderous.
Zhai Zhe's armor was distinct, the new leather boots under his feet were shiny, and the generals were separated on both sides, he picked up the folded long strip of paperwork and announced: "After the governor accepted the letter to the military department, Ningshao Military Town has good news again. ”
"Shipu guerrilla Zhang Mingzhen promoted the deputy general of Ningshao Town, stationed in Shipu."
"Li Zhi'an, the former general of the Xuan University, was appointed as the general of Ningshao Town, Wen Linzhu was appointed as the commander of Ningshao Town, and Chen Huwei was appointed as the commander of Ningshao Town."
"Congratulations to the generals!" Zhai Zhe put away the Chinese book in his hand and congratulated him.
Zhang Mingzhen's promotion to Ning Shao's deputy general had already been announced as early as the governor's yamen, and this time it was to show it in front of the generals. When Zhang Mingzhen got the news that he had been promoted to deputy general, even he was surprised. His fame is very loud in the Donglin Party, but he has always been shy and has no money to find a way. The promotion to deputy general this time is, of course, inseparable from Zhai Zhe's contributions.
Zhai Zhe and his subordinates were all from the north, and Yuan Qizhou, the only one who was familiar with Jiangnan, was about to break his leg. He wooed Zhang Mingzhen to value him for two points, one is that Zhang Mingzhen is divided and guards himself, and he has not racked his brains to expand his strength in Shipu in the past half a year, and the other is that Zhang Mingzhen is powerful in commanding the army, and the Shipu garrison is well-disciplined and well-trained.
"Congratulations to Deputy General Zhang, congratulations to General Li, congratulations to Wen Garrison and Chen Garrison, I hope that all the generals will fight bravely to kill the enemy and live up to the emperor's grace."
Zhai Zhe stepped down from the podium and congratulated everyone separately.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhai!" Zhang Mingzhen smiled reservedly and saluted as before, he was a person who had seen the world, so he would not die for Zhai Zhe. The previous Shipu guerrillas were also guerrilla generals with independent leadership rights, and they did not need to be attached to Zhai Zhe.
Zhai Zhe walked in front of Li Zhi'an and Wen Linzhu and stood in front of Chen Huwei.
"Chen Shoubei, when you go ashore, you have to forget all the bad habits of being a Haikou in the past, my Ningshao Town has strict military discipline, you don't want to be an officer and soldier of the imperial court, and you will be beheaded."
"The villain knows!" Chen Huwei grinned, "The villain has been ashore for a few months, eating fragrantly, sleeping steadily, and thinking of those days in the sea in the past, it is really better to be a pig and a dog, under the command of Zhai Zongbing, the villain must fight with his life." ”
He was wearing the armor of the imperial court, and he looked dignified.
"You lead your subordinates to station in Taizhou Mansion Haimen, listen to Taizhou General Zuo Ruo's order, if there is chaos in Taizhou Hai, only you ask."
"Yes!" Chen Huwei puffed up his chest, and his shining eyes hid the fierce light.
Putting Chen Huwei under Zuo Ruo's command was a decision made by Zhai Zhe after weighing it for a long time. The wicked still need the wicked to grind, and only a harsh general like Zuo Ruo can make Chen Huwei angry.
After announcing these things, Zhai Zhe returned to the point of the general, and the generals naturally quieted down, the sea breeze blew the flags on both sides and waved and fell, and the thousands of troops and horses were silent.
"Today is my Ningshao military town training, there are cavalry generals who have followed me for ten years, and there are also recruits who have just been recruited. In the past six months, you have not hesitated to sweat, practiced the army, practiced weapons, and only waited for one day to serve the imperial court on the battlefield, and asked the troops to show the results of their daily drills. ”
Zhai Zhe pressed his knife and stood up, "Please invite Vice General Xiao and Vice General Zhang to come to the stage to watch." ”
Xiao Zhiyan and Zhang Mingzhen glanced at each other, and stepped up to the stage to stand on both sides of Zhai Zhe.
The first to appear in the eyes was the scout light horseman, who led 1,300 light horsemen to sweep like birds from the flat ground under the viewing platform, and turned back at the foot of the opposite hill in two columns, the queue opened, and the four hooves of the war horse were almost suspended in the air. Don't say that Jiangnan, even the entire Ming Dynasty is rare to see such a good rider.
The light cavalry was followed by the lancers, their movements in unison, and the horses moving their front hooves almost simultaneously.
The cavalry was followed by the bird-swordsmen, and with the roar of the commanders, the whole platoon of swordsmen was cast at the same time, and the sound was like thunder.
At the end of the list are the recruits who have been trained for more than half a year, and the once loose rural atmosphere is gone, and an elite and awe-inspiring atmosphere is hidden in it.
Zhang Mingzhen on the viewing platform was dizzying, and the others went to Tianxiongjun, Li Zhi'an, and the pirate Chen Huwei secretly palpitated. Whether a strong army's training is fancy, standing in close proximity is the clearest, when the lancer pestle and gun sprinted under the viewing platform, the oncoming Chen Huwei almost couldn't even breathe.
The swarthy tip of the spear was once strung with the blood of the most elite armor warriors of the Qing Dynasty.
The drill lasted for a while, and the generals were in good spirits, and there was a naval drill the next day.
The first is to test the results of Feng Qin and Zuo Ruo's training of the new army, and secretly let the two have the idea of competing, and the other is to establish power and deter Zhang Mingzhen, Chen Huwei, and the officers and men of the naval division.
Three days after the exercise, Zhang Mingzhen, who was sent away to watch the ceremony, only the generals of Ningshao Town Headquarters remained, and Zhai Zhe came up with the long-planned military town reform plan.
"The soldiers and horses of Ningshao Military Town will be divided into four divisions from today onwards:
Xiao Zhiyan and Che Feng led 1,300 light horsemen and stationed in Haiwei;
Zuo Ruo and Yuan Qizhou led 3,000 foot soldiers, 800 cavalry, 2,000 sailors, and Chen Huwei, the commander of the sailors, was stationed in Taizhou;
Feng Qin and Meng Kang led 3,000 foot soldiers, 800 cavalry, 2,000 sailors, and the sailors commanded Wenlinzhu and stationed in Linshanwei;
The Chinese army had 6,000 foot soldiers, led by Li Zhi'an and Bao Guang, 1,000 cavalry, 2,500 sailors, and Zhang Cheng, the commander of the sailors, stationed in Dinghaiwei;
In addition, the post of the general manager of the military office was established, which was held by Zong Mao, and Ma Gui was the deputy, in charge of the money and grain distribution of various departments. ”
Ningshaojun Town has a total of 16,000 cavalry, 7,500 sailors, a total of 23,500 troops, and the remaining 6,000 old and weak have been incorporated into the baggage battalion, and it is expected to go to Lantian Tuntian in Yongquan Town, Linhai next year. ”
The generals had their own thoughts and accepted Zhai Zhe's orders.
Unlike in the past, this time each general is no longer an independent leader, but has a lieutenant general of equal status. For example, Yuan Qizhou and Meng Kang are both capable of fighting, and they are also Zhai Zhe's cronies. Li Zhi'an can serve as the chief general of the Tianxiong Army under Lu Xiangsheng, and his ability to run the army is certainly not bad, but after all, he is an outsider, and Zhai Zhe is more at ease to keep him by his side.
"In the army, half of the birds, half of the pikemen, with tiger squatting gunners and heavy armor axes. The three step soldiers will be practiced once a month to complement each other's experience. ”
Zhai Zhe decided to forcibly introduce firearms in the army. Judging from the arms exhibition, firearms have become the trend of the times, but there are still various shortcomings in firearms at present. If you can't cope with rain and snow, and your melee ability is insufficient, you must use corresponding training to solve them.
"Feng Qin and Li Zhi'an learned from Zuo Ruobu, and the foot soldier bird gun should be equipped with melee equipment such as chain mail, long axe or iron fork, and he also needs to conduct melee training on weekdays."
There was silence in the General Army's Mansion, Zhai Zhe did not reveal any words before the reform, nor did he consult with the generals in the army, all the generals were thinking about the impact of these measures on themselves.
"The sergeants and soldiers of the army should regard each other as brothers, the commander as their parents, and the people as the children of the family. The two army songs were promoted in the army, and all armies recited them in the morning and evening, so as to cultivate the spirit of loyalty and mutual assistance among the soldiers. ”
"Batch iron armor, carry a long knife. The battle with the son is long.
Fight with the enemy, die and live together. Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack.
Step on the swallow and chase the beard. Fight with the son, and sing fearlessly. ”
"Ten thousand people are single-minded, Mount Tai can be shaken!
Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting.
The Lord will kiss me more than my parents;
Committing military orders is not free.
The order is clear, the letter of reward and punishment,
Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late?
Report to the Son of Heaven and save Qian.
Kill all the Tartar slaves and find a marquis! ”
The first is the Eastern Han Dynasty military song, the heart of raising soldiers and helping each other, and the latter is the "Triumphant Song" of the Qi family army, which changed the Japanese slaves to Tatar slaves, and made them in order to meet the occasion.
All the generals in the General Military Mansion were a little stunned, Zhai Zhe's actions this time were indeed a little big, far beyond their expectations.
A strong army must not only be disciplined and brave in battle, but also have the spirit and know what to fight for. The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty looked down on the generals, for a long time, the morale of the soldiers was low, and every time they went to war, they were mostly for the purpose of taking military merits and taking property, and it was inevitable that they would kill the people.
If a person loses his heart, he can only lie on his stomach on the ground forever. The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty suppressed the military generals for many years, and in the end, the martial artists themselves looked down on themselves.
After the announcement, Zong Mao distributed the prepared documents to the commanders of the various ministries. Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo, Feng Qin, and Li Zhian took it over, and while reading it carefully, they whispered to a few people around them.
Zhai Zhe sat upright and was silent.
These reforms he implemented in the army were actually not drastic, and they took care of the interests of almost all generals. It may be that only Xiao Zhiyan has benefited the least from it, but he believes that Xiao Zhiyan is the one who understands him.
People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. He has to take precautions, not only to hold this army in his hands, but also to let this army have a soul. For example, the reason why the Qi family army and the Yue family army can remain famous through the ages is not only because they are well-trained, but also because they have souls in the army. A puppet soldier can't take on the heavy task he needs.
In the grassland, the reason why the cavalry under his command is good at fighting and not afraid of death is because half of those people are Mongol herdsmen, and half of them are refugees who have been displaced outside the Seychelles.
In Daming, it is impossible for him to repeat his past experience, and he can only use the method of daily edification.
"After the generals return, they will practice according to the paperwork, they must not be changed without authorization, they must not refuse to carry out the implementation, I will visit them one day, if they are violators of my existing yin and yang, do not blame me for not taking into account the past feelings." Zhai Zhe's voice was cold, and his expression when he spoke was like a mountain pressing down on everyone.
"Yes!" Four voices in one.
Seeing that the generals under the tent are full of talents, Zuo Ruo, Feng Qin and Li Zhi'an can all be in charge, and the cavalry and the remnants of the Tianxiong Army are all the remnants of a hundred battles, Zhai Zhe has a fearless and heroic spirit from his chest.
But 16,000 steps is still a little less.
