Chapter 5 Cavalry is no exception

Life can't sit and wait, you can't wait for that unknown future, just for that clear present.

Young Master Zhou began to train the troops, and in another memory, Zhou Huchen knew that the training methods of the Ming army were unscientific, and he could only learn from a part, and he needed a new training method.

Although this era is backward, there is one thing that makes Zhou Huchen very gratifying, the obedience of the soldiers is too good, as long as you order, they will do it. This was an era when soldiers were coming, and these soldiers relied on their superiors, their salaries, their jobs came from their superiors, and the control of the imperial court over them was limited to the hands of the officers. It was for this reason that the military town and the Jiangmen system came into being at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and this military system obviously had great drawbacks.

But for Zhou Huchen, this is a gospel, Zhou Yuji is undoubtedly an incorruptible general who leads by example, he will not withhold military salaries and grain, and his soldiers are obviously very cohesive, as long as you give an order, they will do it, without any perfunctory elements. Zhou Huchen participated in the training, and those generals had no resistance, because these soldiers belonged to Zhou Yuji, and Zhou Huchen was Zhou Yuji's successor, and they had no reason to resist.

Mo Xiancheng and other generals have nothing to say, here Zhou Yuji has the final say, as Zhou Huchen's eldest son, Zhou Huchen helps train the troops as a matter of course. However, some people do not see it that way, not because they do not agree with the training, but because of other reasons.

This person who has an opinion is Master Gao, Master Gao's name is Gao Linsheng, the word Bo Yong, he is Zhou Yuji's staff, a personal staff, and the reason why he gave Zhou Huchen advice is very clear, he wants to think about his own owner.

"Young master, you can't practice like this! Soldiers practice like this, the physical consumption is huge, and they have to be full, add food, how much food do you have to eat, you should be leisurely! These soldiers are recruits! One more loss, one less of our reserves! ”

"Recruitment! Are these all conscriptions?! ”

Master Gao respectfully began to explain in detail: "Of course, it's recruitment!" Young master, you still don't understand, these foods, weapons and equipment have to be supplied by the imperial court, and the amount supplied by the imperial court is limited, soldiers generally have two meals, and you are now implementing three meals, which will consume a lot of food! It's not wartime, you have to save if you can, so you have to be more modest! ”

Zhou Huchen is too excited, this recruitment is too good, although it cannot be said to be equivalent to private soldiers, but Zhou Huchen will have the opportunity to take them away in the future, it will not be all, but Zhou Huchen can take some of it, and this is enough.

"Is it because the food is unsustainable?"

"That's not it! But we can't waste food like that! ”

"That's good! Master Gao, don't worry about it, I have my own measure! ”

"It's the young master!"

Master Gao had no choice about Zhou Huchen, he made a suggestion, as for whether to adopt it or not, it was Zhou Huchen's own business, in the future, he could explain it to Zhou Yuji.

Young Master Zhou is tired of training these foot soldiers all day long, but fortunately, he is full, and the soldiers have nothing to say.

After dealing with these foot soldiers, Zhou Huchen quickly fell in love with the more than 2,000 cavalry under Zhou Yuji, and during this time, they have been gloating over the destruction of these foot soldiers. Now, Young Master Zhou began to target them.

These cavalry were under the control of the guerrilla general Wang Deyong, and it would be easier for Zhou Huchen to deal with these cavalry, because Wang Deyong was Zhou Huchen's cousin, and he was the old lady's family.

Cavalry is a proud class, horses and various equipment are the most expensive in the army, and these strong cavalry have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they don't think that Zhou Huchen can take out anything new.

For only half a day, these cavalrymen were no longer in the mood to gloat.

Zhou Huchen ordered the foot soldiers to widen the ditch in the farmland to the south of the school field. The training was simple, the cavalry had to constantly cross the ditches that were constantly appearing, and behind the ditches, the cavalry had to cut down the imaginary enemy that was made of straw.

The training was fresh, the soldiers were curious, it was not difficult to cut down such an imaginary enemy, but the cavalry quickly learned the difficulty. These ditches have different widths, different depths, uncertain distances, and time limits. The horses galloped, and after a day of training, the horses and soldiers were inevitably injured, which made Wang Deyong heartbroken.

Fortunately, Young Master Zhou led by example, his equestrian teachers were all the best in the army, and his riding skills were naturally good, so these cavalrymen had nothing to say.

The horses and personnel kept being injured, but Young Master Zhou didn't care, and the next day, more difficult training began.

This time, Young Master Zhou was even more yin, he asked the pawn to put firewood in the ditch, pour vegetable oil, and then set it on fire.

Horses can gallop on flat ground and run like thunder, however, horses are actually timid animals that do not actively attack dangerous targets. What Zhou Huchen needs is this effect, once he enters the actual battle, the smoke of the battlefield and the discharge of firearms will have an impact on the horses, and all Zhou Huchen has to do is to prevent it from happening.

Seeing the blazing fire ditch, Wang Deyong finally couldn't help it: "Huzi, this can't be done!" Do you know how precious a cavalryman and a horse are? If there is a large number of injuries and illnesses, how can I explain to your father! ”

"Uncle Cousin, don't worry! You see, both the soldier and the horse will be safe, definitely safer than yesterday, the rate of injuries will be lower, you have to believe in the potential! Both humans and horses have potential! That's training potential! Just take a look! ”

Wang Deyong frowned, this nephew is really a bit of a fool, he has never heard of this training method. As for the effect, it seems that if it is successful, it should have a great effect, just like Zhou Huchen said, it will enhance the courage of the horse, yes, that is called potential!

Horses do not take the initiative to attack a wall of fire, and in the initial training, the horses will always stop in front of the fire ditch for a moment, and the result will also cause the cavalry to fall off their horses, which makes these bruised and swollen cavalrymen feel guilty in their hearts.

But no one can change the order of the eldest young master Zhou, the cavalry can only express their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and no one dares to say anything on the surface, because now they all know that this eldest young master is too damaged, and there are many tricks! offended him, and he didn't know what was waiting for him in the back, so he was more realistic obediently.

When finally a cavalry successfully crossed the fire ditch, the horses finally understood that this fire ditch was not a threat at all, and that there would be countless horses when one horse succeeded, and when all the horses formed a habit, the fire ditch was not an obstacle at all.

Sure enough, Zhou Huchen's statement is very correct, it only took one day, almost all the horses have adapted to the fire ditch, and the success rate is almost 100%, few horses will make mistakes, this potential is really good! This made Wang Deyong pleasantly surprised.

Yue Huogou succeeded, but Young Master Zhou's subsequent words made Wang Deyong break out in a cold sweat.

"Although this kind of training is good, but the real battlefield will not be exactly like this, in two days, I will go to get some gunpowder, we will light gunpowder in the ditch, so the effect will be better! That's right! You can also get the foot soldiers involved and let them attack the cavalry with dirt blocks, which can effectively train the cavalry and horses to concentrate on combat! ”
