Chapter XVI, Establishment of the Army

It's just one of them, and nine times out of ten, the kingdom has an extremely rare future general, but he can't get any credit for himself. He must also be responsible for this matter; he must seriously find out whether Tong Yinxin is reliable or not.

Otherwise, if anything went wrong, his responsibility would be even greater than that of Ning Feng Town. Therefore, it makes sense that he can only give the seemingly strange order just now. In fact, he didn't believe that there would be any problems with Tong Yinxin.

First of all, Terrans do not necessarily turn into ghosts after death, and most of them will be reincarnated as usual, and secondly, becoming a low-level zombie also meets certain conditions. Therefore, the appearance of the bronze armored corpse may not be reached in 1 in 10,000 probability.

Hushanfeng soon got the order that he must thoroughly investigate the origin of Tong Yinxin, although he was a little resistant in his heart, he did not dare to slack off. After thinking about it, he decided to slowly get Tong Yinxin drunk first, then talk to him, and finally send someone to verify the authenticity.

It's not that he wants to be perfunctory, but the beasts can do this, which is already quite good.

He implemented this set very smoothly, and easily figured out Tong Yinxin's origin, and learned all the situations after his "new life" (except for the system, of course). Tong Yinxin, under the prompting of his younger brother Li Min, disguised himself very realistically.

He was "reborn" from the Black Spirit Stone Mine, and escaped by digging more than 10 kilometers of tunnels, killed a giant crocodile by brute force, dragged it to the village to be sold, ate and drank once, and then came to Ningfeng Town. To put it simply, Tong Yinxin's experience is like this, there are no twists and turns, and it is very easy to verify.

After Hushanfeng sent someone to verify the situation, he quickly reported the situation and waited for the next instructions from above.

Lieutenant Colonel Ying above carefully studied the information uploaded by Hushan Feng and was relieved, and for the sake of prudence, he still sent a special person to review it. After receiving the same reply, Ning Fengzhen was notified, and Tongyinxin was awarded the rank of lieutenant and squadron leader.

Ning Feng Town received the order, and everyone was jubilant again. People are extremely envious of Tong Yinxin's ascension, Hu Shanfeng is just a lieutenant squadron leader, and the town guard is only a captain and a captain; the town guard should be under the jurisdiction of a thousand people in name, but in fact, the sum of all kinds of personnel is not enough.

Briefly talking about the army formation, take the historic Zero Realm Terran army as an example.

Terran armies tend to have two kinds of formations, one is the establishment of peacetime organization and training, and the other is the establishment of combat troops. When it comes to forming a combat unit, it is necessary to break the original structure and reorganize the soldiers into a new combat formation.

The "Shiwu" system is the initial and most basic establishment of the ancient army of the human race.

The 5-digit and 10-digit systems were common notation methods used by the Terrans, so they were used to count and compile soldiers from an early age. The basic establishment unit of the ancient army was the 1510 "Shiwu" system. In addition, in ancient times, when the army was launched, it was often arranged into two formations, left and right, or left, center, and right, which affected the formation of the army to adopt 2-carry or 3-carry (including its multiples).

The earliest armies were based on chariots as the core, and one chariot and its accompanying infantry were collectively called "multipliers", which was the smallest establishment unit. According to the book "Sima Fa" written in the Warring States period of the legendary human race, there were 10 armor soldiers (3 on the car to fight, 7 under the car) and 20 apprentices.

However, it is also believed that only 5 of the 20 apprentices were responsible for raising horses and cooking and drinking, and the other 15 also participated in the battle.

During this period, infantry and cavalry had not yet become independent arms, and the main force of battle was charioteers. The main weapons used are swords, guns, halberds, and crossbows. The use of these weapons continued for tens of thousands of years.

During the earliest rise of the Terrans, infantry gradually became an independent branch of the army, alongside chariot soldiers. There are still charioteers in the terracotta warriors and horses pit of the mausoleum of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, which are mixed with the infantry and are still combat arms. The Western Han Dynasty also still had the establishment of "Che Shi", and there was a special "Tiger Captain" in the Northern Army directly under the imperial court, and the name of "Che Cavalry General". During the Warring States period, infantry became the main force, and the establishment of each country varied.

The basic establishment of 10 digits is adopted, with every 10 combatants plus 1 commander and 1 soldier to form a "team"; 8 teams form 1 "sentinel" with a sentry officer and a sentry commander; 4 sentry posts (front, rear, left, and right) form 1 battalion, and there are 6 teams of personal soldiers under the command of the battalion officer himself. The total number of soldiers in the battalion is 500 (336 brave, 42 brave, 32 chiefs, 20 guards, 60 soldiers, 6 commanders, and 4 sentry officers and commanders).

Another 180 long-term husbands provide logistical transportation. The battalion is the basic tactical and economic management unit. Later, a number of battalions (4 or 5) were organized into "armies" and "sub-command" commands were established, but only in a military command relationship. A number of armies then set up "commanders" as units in the direction of the campaign.

The above are all the evolution of the army in the ancient history of nearly 10,000 years of internal struggle before the rise of the human race. Since then, the widespread use of thermal weapons has been called the modern era, and modern history is still full of wars. The so-called modern era that followed was the Great War, and then the new Dark Age when all the human race was enslaved.

The establishment of the army is further simplified to: divisions, regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons. I don't mention the details, they are all gone.

Today's races have neither copied the old establishment of the human race, nor completely followed the old establishment of their own race. At present, the most popular is that the lowest level is the village, and the people in the village are self-governing and do not have an army. The basic unit is the town, and the town has jurisdiction over each village (100 dozens); the principle of the town is to set up a brigade with 1,000 soldiers.

On it is the state. The state administers dozens of towns, with an army and 10,000 soldiers.

Above it is the kingdom, which governs dozens of states, and has ten armies (generally insufficient) with 100,000 soldiers.

Deficiencies are normal, the cost of raising the army is too high, where can you get so much money?

As soon as Tong Yinxin joined the army, he was suddenly promoted to lieutenant squadron leader, which is absolutely extraordinary. Taking Hushan Feng as an example, he was boiled up as an ordinary soldier in the army, and it also represents the most common situation in the army where people are lucky enough to be promoted alive.

If you start from the lowest level and rise to the first sergeant major, it normally takes 20 years, and then you can get to the rank of lieutenant, it will take at least 30 years. To put it mildly, as long as you don't die, it's okay to get promoted and get rich. However, when you go to the battlefield, you know that no one knows whether you die or not.

The most terrible thing is not death, but disability. It is widely believed that if you are severely disabled, it is worse than death.

The lieutenant squadron leader is theoretically in charge of a squadron of 100 soldiers, and there are ten squads of 10 men in each squadron.

Any ordinary squadron, is already a basic combat unit. According to the specific division of tasks, first of all, there must be a squad that is a pyrotechnic squad, which is responsible for the food of the whole squadron and manages the military rations by the way; then there is a reconnaissance squad, which was called scouts in ancient times; after that, there should also be an ordnance squad, which is responsible for all logistics other than military rations, such as bows and arrows, camp tents, and other materials. There were probably only six or seven squads that were purely in charge of the battle and nothing else.

The above is about preparing to go to the battlefield to participate in the battle, and a squadron or brigade stationed in the town has changed its tasks to trivial tasks in all aspects of the town. It is difficult to change the habit of emphasizing martial arts and ignoring literature of all ethnic groups, and they still grasp their eyebrows and mustaches.

Ningfeng Town should have nine or ten squadron leaders, but in fact there were only four, and each lieutenant squadron leader was responsible for at least two major tasks. Hushanfeng is in charge of the military, and there are fewer things in peacetime. There are also three people, who are in charge of agriculture, industry and commerce, and civil affairs, and their usual affairs are very complicated.

Tong Yinxin's appointment was issued, and the whole town was a little happy, and people's enthusiasm for joining the army suddenly rose. Tong Yinxin's situation soon spread throughout the town, and everyone rejoiced. All localities need to form their own teams to rush to the middle of the state to join forces, and people are very relieved to have Tong Yinxin as a fierce general to lead the troops.

In less than ten days, a hundred people were recruited, most of them were martial apprentice level eight or nine ranks, and more than ten people were martial arts level first and second order. The collection of military rations went more smoothly, and the people in the town generally had great confidence in the "future".

Only the weapons are slightly unsatisfactory, and most people's weapons are relatively old. It's good to be old, and many people don't have weapons at all. Even the squadron leader Tong Yinxin did not have it, and the inventory in the town's arsenal was basically close to scrap copper and rotten iron.

A small levy in two years, a big levy in five years, and over time, the town became accustomed to naturally starting to perfunctory.

This time it was different, the average quality of the soldiers far exceeded many times in the past, but the families were still reluctant to take the initiative to "bleed" too much. After the soldiers joined the army, the military rations could not be solved by themselves, but many people were often unwilling to take charge of the weapons themselves.

In desperation, Lord Ningfeng Town and his four lieutenants had no choice but to come forward in person and go door-to-door to do "ideological work" and mobilize everyone to help the town overcome difficulties. Military rations and weapons are related to the two major aspects of military merit before the expedition!

It's not just this time, it's been the rule in the past. However, the reason why people have become less and less interested in this in the past many years is that it is a matter of the upper authorities to rush from the town to the state, which is intended to be one of the important contents of actual training in battle.

Along the 180-kilometer road, it is likely that they will be attacked by bandits and small groups of wild beasts.

However, it was not often the case that the Forces nouvelles were able to overcome obstacles perfectly, and they were often pushed to the brim. When I finally arrived in the state, I was often a remnant of the defeated army, a gray-headed man who had lost his armor and abandoned his armor. In that case, the military merits that can be obtained up and down the town are naturally very meager.

Slowly it becomes a vicious circle. It can be said that military merit is related to everything, and it is more important than anything else! Spirit stones and spirit stone fragments are all distributed by the kingdom in a unified manner, and spirit stones basically have to be handed over, and spirit stone fragments are consumables used by everyone above the martial artist level for cultivation.
