Chapter 146: A New Book of Performance

At the right time, Chongzhen finally ordered to camp.

By this time the heavy rain had already stopped, but the ground was still wet and muddy, and then the soldiers could no longer care about this, hastily propped up their tents, and lay down one by one.

Within moments, thunderous snoring sounded in the camp.

Misty Lake slept for less than three hours.

Before dawn, the swan sound suddenly sounded.

The sleeping scholar was immediately awakened, and his mind was blank at first, which was a normal physiological reaction after the human body was overtired, and the scholars reacted after a few seconds.

"Get up, hurry up, make a fire and cook, hurry up!"

The voice of the chief soldier sounded, and the scholars who were in a state of distraction sat up in shock.

Including Gu Gao and Wu Yingji, the children of these families began to get busy, this was the first night they embarked on the journey north, but it was not the first time they camped.

I had already camped a few times when I was still in Nanjing.

But at that time, the furthest was to stay in Purple Mountain for two nights.

Those few camping trips left only good memories for the scholars, but now they have become nightmares.

Soon, a mouthful of iron pots was set up, and each group of scholars who took turns to cook began to fetch water for cooking.

However, before the water could boil, Yiding, who had been relegated from a "friendly ally" to a "fierce god" by the soldiers, galloped on horseback, and the whip rained down.

"The Holy Command is not to light fire."

"There is an order from the Holy Father, not to make fires and make food!"

"Huh? Is this asking us to eat cold rice? "The hearts of the scholars are bitter.

There was no way, and the leaders of each group divided the cold rice left over from yesterday, and each person was given a piece of salt, a small oil and hemp ball was considered a condiment, and a dried black plum quenched his thirst.

But where is this cold rice? Plugging between your teeth is not enough.

However, the military order is like a mountain, and no matter how hungry you are, you can only endure it.

The hardest of them is the group of sentinels on duty.

The other Qinwang soldiers sat and did not move, so this group of outpost soldiers set off in advance and were responsible for exploring the way.

Soon, the second swan sound sounded again, and the resting scholar hurriedly packed up and straightened out the flag armor.

When the swan sound sounded for the third time, they all set off on the road.

Maybe it's because they have recovered a lot of physical strength after a night's rest, or maybe they have other plans, Gu Gao, Wu Yingji and other children of the family no longer make trouble and start to practice the army.

But how could Chongzhen let the scholars stop?

Soon, Zheng Sen and other sergeants were summoned to the Chinese army.

When Zheng Sen returned from the Chinese army, he had an extra bundle of pamphlets in his arms.

"Gu Gao, Wu Yingji and Fang Yizhi, you come over and help me distribute it." Zheng Sen said.

Gu Gao stood still, but Wu Yingji stepped forward and asked, "What is this?" Could it be a book of war? ”

"That's right, it's the Book of War." Zheng Sen responded loudly, "Qi Shaobao's new book on performance was also deleted and revised by the saint himself. ”

"A new book on performance?" Gu Gao looked disdainful, and said suddenly, "This son only reads Sun Tzu's Art of War, and doesn't read the new bullshit books made up by those pickled soldiers." ”

Although Qi Jiguang is a famous general in the world, he is not treated well by the civilian group.

Gu Gao grew up in a family of eunuchs, and he also inherited the contempt of the civil official group for military generals, so he didn't look down on the new performance book written by Qi Jiguang at all.

"Zifang, you don't have to say a word."

Wu Yingji whispered to persuade Gu Gao, lest he annoy Zheng Sen.

Fortunately, Zheng Sen was busy distributing books and didn't have time to pay attention to Gu Gao.

Wu Yingji gave a new book of performance to each of his sons, and gave the last one to Gu Gao, and kindly reminded Gu Gao: "Let's make a show." ”

However, Gu Gao didn't even want to make a show.

Gu Gao was already disappointed in this trip to the north.

So he didn't even want to do superficial work, and even faintly hoped in his heart that it would be best to anger Chongzhen, and then drive him back to Nanjing, so that he could go back naturally.

So Gu Gao directly threw the new performance book on the ground.

This scene happened to be seen by Zheng Sen, who had finished distributing the books.

Zheng Sen's face instantly fell, and he walked up to Gu Gao and said, "Pick up the book!" ”

"If I don't pick it up, what are you going to do?" Gu Gao seemed to be out of the way this time, and looked at Zheng Sen coldly.

"Gu Zifang, I'll warn you one last time, hurry up and pick up the book!" At this time, Zheng Sen was only in his early twenties after all, let alone let him kill his classmates and whip him.

"Brother Damu, Zifang is joking with you, don't mind."

In the end, it was Fang Yizhi who wiped Gu Gao's buttocks, bent down and picked up the book.

Zheng Sen breathed a sigh of relief, looked around and shouted: "There is an order from the Holy Authority that the new book of performance must be memorized, and within three days, it is necessary to memorize the first volume of the bundle chapter. ”

"After three days, the Holy Lord will personally conduct a spot check."

"If you find someone who can't recite, whip twenty!"

After speaking, Zheng Sen glared at Gu Gao fiercely.

Fang Yizhi hurriedly stuffed the new performance book into Gu Gao's hand.

Wu Yingji, who was next to him, also persuaded: "Let's deal with it casually." ”

"Yes, just deal with it." Fang Yizhi also said, "Brother Fang, your talent and memory, memorizing the new book of performance is not a piece of cake, right, hehehe." ”

However, Gu Gao was just silent.

But finally did not throw away the new book of performance.

It's very indifferent to hold the book in your hand.

……

Zhu Cijiong is younger than Gu Gao and has a more noble background, but Zhu Cijiong has no contempt for Qi Jiguang in his heart, and at this time he has been immersed in the new book of performance.

“…… The first class of usable people is just honest people in the countryside. ”

"The so-called honest people in the countryside are big and stout, and they can endure hardship."

"Those who have solid skin and flesh on their hands and have the color of clay are the first."

Reading this, Zhu Cijiong suddenly closed the page of the book and asked Chongzhen: "Father, Qi Shaobao organized and trained Zhejiang soldiers back then, and the soldiers recruited were such honest people in the countryside?" ”

"Yes." Chongzhen nodded in response, "That's it." ”

Zhu Cijiong said: "But father, in the past month, I have traveled with the princes of Qinwang, and I learned from them that most of the honest adults in the countryside are cowardly, and such cowardly people are really worthy of being soldiers?" ”

Chongzhen said: "This is a big fallacy, but it is not true. ”

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "Honest people in the countryside are actually not cowardly, but the reason why they give the impression of cowardice to the scholars of that generation is because they are in awe of scholars!" Or rather, the court behind the reverence of the scholars! If you face craftsmen and merchants, or face barbarians outside the country, these honest people in the countryside are not cowardly! ”

"It is said that the Liao soldiers are the elite of the world, but in fact, the Zhejiang soldiers are more brave and good at fighting than the Liao soldiers."

"In the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, 3,000 white pole soldiers and 4,000 Zhejiang soldiers successively faced tens of thousands of Jiannu iron cavalry, and the fierce battle was fierce, not only did they fall behind, but they killed more than 3,000 Jiannu! It can be seen that it is sharp! ”

"This Cheng is the elite of the team!" Zhu Cijiong listened leisurely.

Speaking of this, Zhu Cijiong asked in a low voice: "Father, there is something unknown about the sons. ”

Chongzhen asked rhetorically: "Do you want to ask me, why don't you directly recruit honest people from the countryside in eastern Sichuan and western Zhejiang to form a new army?" Instead, you have to spend more time recruiting the prince of Qin? ”

"Yes." Zhu Cijiong said, "Please also ask my father to solve his doubts." ”

Chongzhen pointed to the new performance book in Zhu Cijiong's hand and said, "The answer is in the book." ”

"A: In this book?" Zhu Cijiong picked up the new book of performance again in a daze.

After a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhu Cijiong's mind, and he immediately said excitedly: "Father, the son understands it, the son understands what you mean, the father." ”

"Oh, really?" Chongzhen smiled, "You can talk about it." ”

Zhu Cijiong said: "It is not known how the sons of the white pole soldiers in eastern Sichuan are trained for the time being, but the secret of Qi Shaobao's training of Zhejiang soldiers is this new book of performance. ”

"The first volume of the bundle of troops is about how to select soldiers."

"The second volume of the trumpet chapter is about the trumpets and drums in the army."

"The third volume of military law is about military law regulations."

"The fourth volume of rewards and punishments is about the purpose of rewards and punishments."

"The fifth volume of the camp chapter is about the march and the camp."

"The sixth volume of weapons is about the handling of firearms."

Speaking of this, Zhu Cijiong continued: "As long as you write down this new performance book and train honest people in the countryside according to the content contained in the book, you can get an elite division!" ”

"But Father, you are only one person, and you will train a team of 100 people for half a year."

"That's why my father wants to recruit scholars, because scholars are literate, and they can write down the entire content of the new book of performance in a short time, and then train according to the content of the book, so that 6,000 scholars can train 600,000 people within half a year!"

"It's really teachable." Chongzhen affectionately touched Zhu Cijiong's little head, this kid's political sensitivity is far inferior to Zhu Cihong, but his military understanding is far better than that of his brother.

Zhu Cijiong's words are to the point, this is the power of student soldiers.

Because of their literacy and education, student soldiers not only grow up quickly, but also grow much faster, because every student soldier can serve as a grassroots officer.

With a little tempering, he will be able to serve as the chief officer.

Let's just say that the six thousand diligent princes in front of him.

Roll a few times in the blood of the Xuzhou battlefield, as long as you survive 3,000 soldiers, and then scatter them back to their hometown to recruit troops, and when they gather troops again, it will be an army of 300,000!

These 300,000 people may not be as good as the Zhejiang soldiers and the white pole soldiers, but they will never be too bad.

Supplemented by a large number of artillery and muskets, he had the confidence to engage in field battles with Jiannu.

At that time, the Ming army no longer had to shrink on the Huanghuai defense line and blindly be beaten passively, but could launch a fierce counterattack against Jiannu more actively.

In this sense, the new book of performance is a treasure!

Of course, the new performance book issued by Chongzhen to Qinwang Shizi is no longer the original new performance book.

On the basis of Qi Jiguang, Chongzhen deleted the long soldiers and short soldiers, the short soldiers and the long use, and the archery fist through the Putrajaya weapons, etc., and also made a lot of streamlining of the military law and rewards and punishments, but its essence was retained.

Finally, a chapter on firearm control was added, with a total of more than 10,000 words in six volumes.
