In the past several musketeer battles, the musketeers either annihilated the enemy, or were broken through by the enemy, once the breakthrough, the musketeers had no power to fight back, and now, the birth of the military thorn will completely change the dilemma that the musketeers cannot fight hand-to-hand.

In order to overcome the drawbacks of poor communication at this time, Baili Wuji specially ordered the workshop to manufacture whistles in batches, and determined more than 20 simple whistles as tools for transmitting messages, such as whistles such as "front and back, left and right, attack and retreat" and so on.

Every soldier of the new army had to master these twenty kinds of whistles, and the commanders above the rank of the squad had more than a dozen types of whistles than the soldiers.

In this way, within a few miles, the message can be effectively conveyed to the ears of every soldier.

After more than ten years of hard work, the physique of the soldiers of the Ming army has made great progress, and there are more and more musketeers who have been reorganized, but the firepower has not reached the density required by a hundred miles of Wuji, and the production of whistles has effectively reversed the drawbacks of inconvenient command, and the soldiers can be ordered to concentrate their firepower in a certain place at any time.

In order to adapt to different combat missions, Baili Wuji also equipped each soldier with a small crossbow, this small crossbow has been modified, its bracket and open arm are made of crucible steel, although the range is not as far as the musket, but it can also reach ten zhang away.

With a whistle, the commander could command the troops as he pleased, and in view of this, Baili Wuji reduced the minimum independent combat unit of the new army to a lower level, so that it could be fought more efficiently.

In the process of training, two people entered his field of vision.

These two people were among the best in all training sections, especially in the confrontation drill between the two armies organized by Baili Wuji.

And these two people were very impressed in Baili Wuji's heart. They are Zheng Yanhua and Guo Tingwei.

The two of them were generals personally ordered by Baili Wuji, serving as captains in the special operations army, during the northland operation a few days ago. Although he did not make great contributions, his performance was also good, how could he give up his military position as a lieutenant and come to the new army as a recruit cadet?

Baili Wuji felt strange in his heart, but he didn't show his face, for these two people, he needed to take this opportunity to observe the two.

The territory of the Ming Kingdom gradually expanded. The Ming army also needs new blood, especially the generals who originally followed Baili Wuji from Padang have already defended one side, and Baili Wuji began to lack generals around him.

These two already have actual combat experience in leading troops. The most important thing is that the defense of the Jinling Academy left a deep impression on Baili Wuji, and the two had a unique view of the war. In particular, Guo Ting's strategy of fighting against Liao. In line with Baili Wuji's assumption, if there is no accident, Baili Wuji has a plan to cultivate the two well.

In fact, Zheng Yanhua and Guo Tingwei did not have any lofty ideals, the two of them were only moved by Bian Hao's sentence "At that time, I was already dead", and after the two of them defended themselves with the emperor from the academy, they were introduced as confidants, and they worked together in the special operations army. The relationship between the two gets along very well, and this time Baili Wuji transferred veterans from the special operations army. The two discussed and had the same thoughts, so they applied to Xu Shouren to leave their posts and join the new army.

Although Xu Shouren is reluctant, he has ambitions for the new army, the new army is only 8,000 people, of which 3,000 are veterans who went out from the special operations army, and the most important thing is that Baili Wuji is now going to personally train him, but it is impossible for the emperor to really lead the troops, so the belonging of the new army, in Xu Shouren's view, can be imagined.

Therefore, when Zheng Yanhua and Guo Tingwei applied to him, Xu Shouren didn't say a word, accepted it, and gave him all convenience.

Although the two of them are outstanding in martial arts, if there is no recommendation and support from the veterans of the special operations army instructed by Xu Shouren, these two people really want to mix their faces among the leaders of the 8,000 Ming Army, then I am afraid it will take a lot of energy.

There are very harsh conditions for the selection of new army soldiers, height, weight, age, and arm strength are indispensable, and there is another option that is negotiable, that is, literacy.

This is also the reason why Baili Wuji selected students from the school to join, in fact, Xu Shouren completely miscalculated, Baili Wuji trained this new army, and never attributed it to any Ming army.

Baili Wuji's intention is to create a seed army, and then let it expand and make it a new generation of Ming army.

On this day, Baili Wuji gathered all the 8,000 new troops, divided them into three teams of 2,500 people each, and conducted a field confrontation outside the city of Jiangdufu, led by Zheng Yanhua, Guo Tingwei, and Zhou Baozhong.

Zhou Baozhong is the eldest son of Zhou Xingfeng, the commander of the former forbidden army and the current Royal Forest Army, the tiger father has no dog son, Zhou Baozhong is weak in the year of the crown, inheriting his father's brave nature, selected from the academy of military science, as soon as he enters the new army, he gradually emerges, becomes the new army, and also enters the sight of Baili Wuji.

After a long period of observation, Baili Wuji found that Zhou Baozhong had a very bad habit of beating the soldiers of the New Army at every turn, which may be a problem inherited from his father.

But it is strange to say that none of the soldiers who were beaten by him came to complain, and Zhou Baozhong's team always stood out in training, even surpassing Zheng Yanhua and Guo Tingwei.

This made Baili Wuji interested, and secretly ordered the guards to investigate.

Some days later, the guards came back to report that none of Zhou Baozhong's soldiers were indignant at them, and even admired them very much.

In fact, since the dynasties and dynasties, the famous generals who have left their names in history are all from the family, and the soldiers are actually shepherds, paying attention to a method, which has always been passed down orally.

The history of wars for thousands of years is a history of shepherds, with generals shepherding soldiers and emperors shepherding people.

Military discipline has always been the harshest in the law, but if there is no trace of humanity in the harshness, you can't bring good soldiers.

The correct understanding of this thing should be bandits, and to be more precise, they are bandits with normative constraints.

A soldier who is not a bandit can never become a good soldier, and this sentence must be true at all times.

This is also the real reason why Yelu Abaoji instructed his subordinates to "not learn from the weakness of the Han'er".

A soldier who is bound by law, ethics, and morality is by no means a good soldier, and a soldier is also a murder weapon.

Soldiers come from among the people, first and foremost people.

Everyone has a problem, and that is to be cheap.

Those who can restrain themselves from being cheap are called magnanimous.

Unfortunately, there are so few of them that it's hard to find.

The soldiers, on the other hand, are magnified in the furnace of the barracks.

They like to be reprimanded by their admiring superiors, they are uncomfortable not being disciplined for a day, and they even like to be beaten.

After listening to the report of the guards, Baili Wuji had some understanding in his heart, maybe this was the ancestral method of his Zhou family. (To be continued......)
