Chapter 454: Juncheng
Since the [Red Blood Gong] was taught to the armies, Wang Guangyun came back with the powerful weapons of the [Thousand Machine Pavilion], and the military discipline in the entire military camp was completely on track.
The soldiers first practiced health exercises every day, and then practiced [Red Blood Exercises], and their strength entered a period of rapid improvement.
In just three months, the overall quality of the soldiers has increased greatly, and with the strength of the weakest soldier comparable to that of a third-rate warrior, Li Ming's army can be regarded as a preliminary success.
At this point, it is also autumn.
With the passage of time, the movements of the troops and horses of the [Great Qian] and the [Xiongnu] became more and more frequent, and they had reached a situation where they were almost ready to make it clear that they were going to war.
And in the past three months, with Li Ming providing ideas and the joint efforts of a group of grandmasters of [Thousand Machine Pavilion], new weapons have been born.
"After several tests, the power of this special weapon is indeed extraordinary, although it is not as powerful as our top secret weapons, but if it is processed according to your requirements, it may really be able to arm the whole army!"
On this day, the [Thousand Machine Pavilion] casting master Zong Bo looked excited to bring Li Ming a newly improved 'iron pipe' weapon again, and said to Li Ming: "This time, the latest improved material can fire 3,000 rounds in a row and continue to operate normally, and whether it is in the rain, or buried in the mud, gravel, smoke, rain and other environments, it can be used intact, even if it is a certain degree of collision damage to some structures, it can also shoot bullets!" ”
"Oh? The effect is so good, what material is used this time? ”
Li Ming raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"It is smelted with cold iron and pine crystals, which is extremely strong, resilient, and extremely resistant to gunpowder inside!"
Zong Bo said excitedly: "Commander Zhao and Commander Wang have used their mana together to completely change the machinery, once the machinery is started, it can produce 500 [Li Jiatong] per day, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition, the quality of each gun can be guaranteed to be consistent, this gun is one of the many firearms produced in the machine!" ”
"Well, show me it."
Hearing this, a glimmer flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and then he took the [Li Jiatong] in Zong Bo's hand, loaded the magazine, and came to shoot outside the barracks.
"Sudden ......"
A series of fires were generated, Li Ming pulled the trigger and did not move, shooting out the thirty bullets in the magazine in one go, and shattering a piece of bluestone in front of him into powder.
It was only when Li Ming's fingers were released that this attack stopped.
Moreover, Li Ming could clearly feel that the recoil of this gun was not high...... At the very least, even the weakest soldier in the battalion can handle it properly!
"Okay, good, immediately mass produce this gun and bullets, and equip it for every soldier!"
Li Ming handed the firearm to Zong Bo with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then his eyes were blazing: "The firearm is equipped, how is the cannon you studied?" ”
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Zong Bo quickly handed over the firearm to the deputy beside him, and then looked at Li Ming and said solemnly: "Everything is going well in the research of the cannon, but there is still one last difficulty, and within ten days at the latest, we will be able to get the best cannon for you!" ”
"Okay, in that case, I'll wait for your good news."
Li Ming nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and returned to the barracks, and gave an order: "All soldiers, together with the reserves, must be equipped with firearms, and from now on, start firearms training after daily exercise training, and be sure to achieve 100 shots within 200 steps!" ”
Two hundred steps is a very long distance for ordinary people, but for Li Ming's soldiers, who are third-rate masters, it is not that far, and they are fully capable of hitting objects at this distance.
"At the same time, the second generation of health exercises will be issued, and the proportion of health exercises practiced in the future will be slightly increased."
Li Ming followed closely as he spoke, and in an instant, with the voice of the herald, the entire military camp moved, and Li Ming nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on his face.
In the past three months, it has been in vain that he has drawn drawings and made requests, sifting through all kinds of magical materials that exist in this world to manufacture and optimize firearms.
He found that under all kinds of magical materials in this world, firearms can reach a very strong point without much effort, so naturally it is gratifying, and after three months in a row, he finally used the magical properties of mana to develop a manufacturing machine and a firearm that is satisfactory enough.
At this moment, the combat effectiveness of Li Ming's entire army will be greatly increased!
At this thought, Li Ming couldn't help but feel more happy, but then he sank into his own cultivation even more.
He knew that no matter how powerful these weapons were, they were only external objects, and only their own cultivation was fundamental, so they would naturally not abandon their roots.
Even the stronger these weapons are, the harder he will cultivate, because no matter how powerful the weapons are, they are controlled by people, and if he holds such a good weapon, if his own cultivation is not at home, it is likely to become a reason for others to destroy you.
In addition, only if you are stronger, you can better control the weapon, and you can get it for a longer time, so no matter what, cultivation is the most important.
“……”
Under Li Ming's order, the entire barracks was up and running rapidly, and in just ten days, all the soldiers were equipped with this new weapon and began shooting training.
At the same time, a cannon that surprised Li Ming was delivered to his eyes.
"This cannon only needs the strength of a man to pull, even in the mud, in the grass can be easily moved, can even be pulled to the mountains, across rivers, rocks, and, just need to turn this turntable, the shells can be fired continuously, can fire 500 shells in one breath without damaging the barrel."
Zong Ze pointed to the cannon with a turntable behind him and spoke to Li Ming.
"Originally, this cannon could have been handed over to you ten days ago, but it was only due to the problem of movement and the speed of the cannon that it has been delayed until today, and it has finally been solved."
Zong Ze smiled brightly, Li Ming pursed his lips, let people test the power of the cannon, and found that it was bigger than he imagined, so he couldn't help but nod immediately: "Since this is the case, then, such cannons make 1,000 cannons and 100,000 shells, and specially train artillery to use!" ”
"Yes!"
With Li Ming's excited voice, the entire military camp began to change vigorously again.
Of course, even so, their cultivation did not fall behind.
In the blink of an eye, another two months passed, and the soldiers under Li Ming's command were familiar with the new weapons, and he knew that his troops had become!
What kind of troops are considered good troops?
During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Lu of Wu wanted to try Sun Wu's military training skills, and asked Sun Wu to train hundreds of palace maids and his two concubines into an army.
At the beginning, King Wu's concubines and palace maids wore armor, held weapons, laughed and played, staggered, Sun Wu saw this and first let the two concubines be captains, and announced the order, everyone heard the sound and moved, one drum turned right, two drums turned left, continuous drumming forward, Ming Jin retreated, and those who did not obey the military order were immediately beheaded.
Sun Wu ordered the drumming, but the palace maids in the audience were still laughing and playing, not taking Sun Wu's words to heart at all, and the two concubines were even more laughing and leaning forwards and backwards, Sun Wu repeatedly stated that the palace maids in the audience were even more playful and playful, ignoring Sun Wu.
Sun Wu immediately ordered the two concubines to be beheaded according to military law, and when the bloody heads were placed in front of the palace maids, the palace maids were frightened, Sun Wu ordered the drums again, and the palace maids all walked neatly, and the order was forbidden, as if it had become a real army.
Some people may say that Sun Wu was too cruel and did not take human life seriously, but in fact, strict military law can train a qualified army. It is the commander's fault that the soldiers cannot carry out the military orders due to the lack of clarity of the commander's military orders; It is the soldier's fault that the commander has clearly issued a military order, but the soldier does not carry it out.
People are afraid of death, and beheading those who do not obey military orders can often serve as an example to others.
In ancient times, the army also had a system of continuous sitting, during the service, the soldiers ran away and beheaded the captain, and the commander ran away and beheaded the chief; The chief fled and beheaded the chief; Bai Chang fled and beheaded the general; The commander was dead, and his guards were all killed; In this way, the constraints of military orders on the army are passed down from level to level, and every level from the commander to the soldier is effectively managed.
In order for soldiers to obey military orders, it is necessary to cultivate the habit of obeying military orders.
The army's daily queue training, turning left, right, and backward, you may think it is strange, what is the use of going around all day?
In fact, this is to cultivate our habit of listening to orders, and in order to maintain the corresponding formation in battle, we must train soldiers to listen to orders, and to listen to orders when they get up, eat, train, wash, and sleep, and this is to integrate listening to orders into their daily life, so that they can form muscle memory and habits, and turn the execution after listening to orders into subconscious actions, which are completely integrated into the blood of soldiers.
A strong army cannot just be able to fight, but it is necessary to establish a good atmosphere of the army, and the atmosphere is also combat effectiveness, which is also the difference between the army and bandits.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuejia army made repeated achievements on the battlefield of resistance to Jin, and even the general of the Jin State sighed: shaking the mountain, shaking the Yuejia army, the Yuejia army is strictly disciplined, "freezing to death does not demolish the house, starving to death does not plunder", which foot of the soldier stepped into the people's house will cut off which foot; It is precisely because of the good military atmosphere of the Yuejia army that it can win the support of the people, ensure its combat effectiveness, and be invincible.
If an army wants to win a war, it must have strong morale, and clear rewards and punishments are the best way to boost morale.
During the Warring States Period, Shang Ying implemented the reform with the support of Xiaogong, the most important of which was to reward military merits, and the soldiers cut off the enemy's head, which was military merit, and there was a knighthood after establishing military merit.
Therefore, the Qin army was happy when it heard the battle, and there is a most accurate statement, the Qin army soldier hung an enemy soldier's head on his waist, grabbed the prisoner in one hand, and rushed forward with a weapon in the other, and the Qin army's strong combat effectiveness was also because of this.
In the Ming Dynasty's famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiajun, military discipline is strict.
Those who lie about illness in battle will be beheaded, those who abandon ordnance in battle will be beheaded, and those who cannot afford to meet the enemy or get up early will be beheaded. During the Ming Dynasty, firearms had become popular, and there were chong teams in the army, and there were specific military disciplines as firearms teams. As a bird, the one who shoots the early is chopped; When the Bird's Hammer is dead, the soldiers guarding the Bird's Hammer are beheaded; The captain found that those who violated discipline were not high-rated; One person retreats and beheads the other, and the whole team retreats and beheads the captain; The captain was killed in battle, and the whole team was beheaded; Surrendering in battle, raping women, etc., are even more unforgiving. In the military discipline of the Qi family, beheading is a common means of punishment, and the punishment second only to beheading is cutting off the ear.
Those who retreat from the battle are allowed to cut off the ears of the soldiers, the captain of the armor to cut the ears of the captain, the captain of the sentry to cut the ears of the captain, and the chief of the sentry to cut the ears of the chief of the sentry. At the end of the First World War, all those who found that they had no ears were killed in public. Those who leave the group to urinate on the march cut off their ears; The noisy ones are tied up 40, and the rumors are cut off by the rebels; Small talk causes nostalgia for the staff 20. During the whole march and battle, except for the unified singing of military songs, there were no other entertainment activities, and it was not allowed to gather people to drink and accept banquets from the people.
The harsh military law is not only unique to the Qi family's army, but also the invincible army from ancient times to the present day has strict military law. During the Warring States Period, there was also a military book about the heavy punishment of the army, "Wei Yuzi", which recorded: "Those who make good use of soldiers can kill half of the soldiers, then kill the thirteenth, and kill the eleventh." The "pawn" here does not mean killing the enemy but killing one's own soldiers, and for the start-up army that wants to shock the world, at least half of the soldiers should be killed. The Qi family army started from scratch, and finally came to Megatron, there were very few soldiers left in the first batch, and I am afraid that half of the people who violated discipline were killed.
In history, there are many armies known for their strong combat effectiveness, such as Sun Tzu, Wu Qi, Tian Sui Tho, Han Xin, Zhou Yafu, Zhao Chongguo, Yang Su, Yue Fei, Xu Da, Nian Qianyao, etc., all of whom have strict military discipline without exception. Taking Yue Jiajun as an example, Yue Fei's true record of beheading his uncle is in the "Three Dynasties and Northern Alliances" compiled by Xu Mengxin of the Song Dynasty. Someone complained that Yue Fei's uncle Yao was harassing the people, Yue Fei was a dutiful son, he first told his mother, punished Yao and said: "What my uncle did involved me, if I commit it again, I can tolerate it, I am afraid that military law will not tolerate it." Unexpectedly, a few days later, Yue Fei and his generals rode horses, and Yao also walked with them, and the resentful Yao galloped forward dozens of steps, suddenly pulled up the full bow, turned around and faced Yue Fei is arrow, but fortunately missed. Yue Fei urged the horse to go over and capture him, "ordered Wang Gui Zhang Xian to catch his hand, take his own saber and cut his heart, and then cut it into pieces"
It is absolutely impossible to become a famous general by killing alone, killing is the means of governing the army, and strict military discipline is the final result. Qi Jiguang is not a general who kills indiscriminately, and his love and recommendation of his generals are almost comparable to the harsh military law. After Qi Jiguang's war, the first thing he did was to sit in the big tent and write a list of meritorious personnel and ask for merit from his superiors and the imperial court. For example, in a letter to the emperor after the war, he said that he was uneasy: "There are still many people who are unbearable for their merits and those who are not rewarded for their merits, and those who have not been compensated for the deceased, although they have won the rewards of the ministers and rewarded the loyal souls, they are still in the dark." The ministers will have to eat the meat of the prancing horse, and the buds of the soldiers will be arched."
Li Ming's soldiers must have combat effectiveness and discipline, and they can already be regarded as successful! (End of chapter)
