Ming politicians

() On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Tiancheng, Qu Qingze, and Xiong Zijian arrived at the military camp of the Inspection Department on the outskirts of the city.

The military camp is newly built, surrounded by restricted areas, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach.

There are not many sergeants in the city. Every day, there are sergeants who take turns guarding the city gates and patrolling the streets. The rest of the sergeants are all trained in the barracks.

The system in the barracks was decided by Sun Yuankun after discussing with everyone. Su Tiancheng intervened and made amendments, canceling the garrison. In this way, the sergeants of the inspection department became professional soldiers.

As for the military household system, it still exists, but great changes have been made. The inheritance system has been abolished.

The sergeants of the inspection department belonged to the nature of the local militia, and they were not the regular army of the imperial court. The [-] sergeants, the supreme commander Sun Yuankun, were just the patrol officers of the ninth rank. Naturally, some changes had to be made to the following settings.

Five thousand sergeants are divided into five battalions, each with 1000 people, including two cavalry battalions, one Shenji battalion, and two infantry battalions.

Each battalion has five banners, each with 200 people.

Each banner has five teams, each with 40 people.

From the battalion to the team, the setting of the chief is the same, one officer and two officers.

最为重大的修改,是关于军士的待遇问题,营长每月俸禄200两银子,副营长每月俸禄180两银子,旗长每月俸禄100两银子,副旗长每月俸禄80两银子,队长每月的俸禄50两银子,副队长每月俸禄40两银子。普通军士,每月俸禄五两银子。

Such a salary system.Already implemented.

This is a heavy burden, and it is a burden that must be borne. According to this system, five thousand soldiers will need close to 60 taels of silver a year in salary, plus the daily expenses, a total of 70 taels of silver will be needed.

With such a high salary, it is impossible for Jiangning County to maintain a huge army.

Su Tiancheng thought the same way.The army does not need too many people, at most 3, the key lies in the quality of the sergeants.Moreover, there are obvious differences in the treatment of sergeants, and it is impossible to be exactly the same.

In the army, corruption is absolutely not allowed, in every battalion, banner, and team.There are special sergeants who are responsible for supervision, and if they find any behavior of corrupting ink, they will report it immediately, and once it is verified and implemented, they will be severely punished.

After the treatment of soldiers is implemented.The degree of self-discipline of the sergeants of the inspection department is unbelievable, especially the [-] sergeants who came from Mount Emei, their families also went to Jiangning County, and their own salaries.Totally able to feed the family.

The sergeants of the inspection department have become the envy of the people of Jiangning County.

There are quite a few young and strong people in Jiangning County.They all wanted to enter the inspection department, but unfortunately they didn't have the chance for the time being.

Su Tiancheng, Qu Qingze and Xiong Zijian arrived at the gate of the barracks.

No matter who it is, they must dismount when they arrive at the gate of the camp.

The three dismounted and tied the reins to the horse posts outside the barracks. Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang, Luo Chang, Liu Tiehan, Ma Huabiao and others greeted them outside the barracks.

The sergeant standing at the gate of the barracks was as motionless as a wooden stake.

"My subordinates meet the adults."

Sun Yuankun and the others, according to the etiquette of the army, knelt down on one knee and saluted Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng cupped his fists in return.

All the sergeants stood in line, the horse was beside its owner, and seemed to understand that the situation was different today, and it seemed very quiet.

Although there are only 5000 people, the momentum shown by these people seems to be that there are thousands of troops waiting for soldiers on the battlefield.

As soon as Su Tiancheng looked over, he felt an unusual aura, which was very frightening.Everyone remained motionless, without a military order, no one would evade even if knives were thrown from the sky.

To produce such an effect, the key lies in the usual training.

The training plan of the sergeants of the Inspection Department is unbelievable to most people. This is the training method of the special forces hundreds of years later. The first is to run with a heavy load. The second is the training of stable body shape, holding a spear every day, hanging a stone in front of the spear, and staying motionless for an hour, the third is the training of knife skills, marksmanship and fighting, the training every day is also an hour, the first is The fourth is riding training, every day is an hour.

It is impossible for Su Tiancheng to remember the training methods of the special forces so clearly, but he still knows the general idea. This kind of training is called devil training, and the sergeants who can survive the training are all equal to a hundred. .

These trainings are very specific. Su Tiancheng's goal is to train an invincible special force that will charge forward, fight the enemy bravely, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime. This is an undeniable truth .

Today is still an era dominated by cold weapons, and the limitations of firearms are very large. Shotguns and three-eyed blunderbuss take a long time to load gunpowder, the firing speed is slow, and the accuracy is not high. They are greatly affected by rainy weather. The speed and impact of the cavalry are not very important. Once the cavalry rushes to the front, they will only be slaughtered.

As for the cannons, they are all solid shells, which are not very lethal.

The real flintlock gun has not yet been developed. According to historical records, the flintlock gun was invented by Bi Maokang, the right servant of the Nanjing Department in the eighth year of Chongzhen. Now it is the end of the fifth year of Chongzhen, and there is no such person in the Ministry of Households in Nanjing.

If you can find Bi Maokang and develop a flintlock gun, the meaning will be completely different. The flintlock gun is fired by impact. After the trigger is pulled, the tap is pressed down. Due to the action of the spring, it rubs against the flint and ignites, resulting in a fire. Impact force, shot out of the iron bullet, the biggest advantage of the flintlock gun is that it overcomes the difficulties caused by wind and rain to the shot, and you don't need to press the tap with your hand, the aim is more accurate, and you can fire the shot in various situations. The problem is the launch speed and reloading, including the problem of bombing, which has not been well resolved.

Su Tiancheng knew that he could not completely rely on the function of firearms. What he needed to rely on was still an invincible cold weapon team. Thinking about the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, what he relied on was the cavalry to seize the world.He is not a dealer in firearms, and it is impossible for civil servants to come into contact with firearms, let alone explain the mechanism of construction, but he knows the function of firearms accurately, and when he catches an opportunity, he will desperately seize it and invest a lot of gold and silver. continuously improved.

The temporary reviewing stand? It has been set up long ago, and those who can go to the reviewing stand are Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze.

Su Tiancheng didn't go up to the reviewing platform first, but walked past every sergeant, looking at everyone, even though it was severe winter, despite the cold weather, the sergeant standing on the field straightened his body and remained motionless .

This is a unit he has painstakingly built, and it is also a unit that is absolutely loyal to him. He is grateful to every sergeant. He needs to rely on these sergeants to turn things around and rewrite history.

The shock that Qu Qingze received cannot be described in words. After entering the barracks, he felt a killing atmosphere. Every sergeant was so sturdy. Whose momentum.

He has seen many armies, but today's feeling is completely different, this is a completely different army.

Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze walked up to the reviewing stand slowly.

"My lord, five thousand officers and soldiers from the Inspection Department have completed their formation, please review your lord."

"start."

The scene changed in an instant, Sun Yuankun pulled out the steel saber and raised it to the sky, the gleaming steel saber was an order.

The cavalry battalion passed the reviewing stand first, everyone was holding a machete, and the horses were under the control of the sergeant, walking in unison.

Then came the Shenji Battalion, and finally the Infantry Battalion.

After the queue had all passed the reviewing stand, the dazzling rehearsal began.

Two groups of soldiers came out from the cavalry battalion, each with 50 soldiers.

Liu Shiliang leads a team, Luo Chang leads a team.Everyone held wooden knives, and the wooden knives were wrapped in cloth. They began to fight against each other according to the usual training requirements. This kind of fighting requires careful tactics.

Then came the shooting of Shenji Battalion. There was a wooden stake in the distance, and they wanted to shoot the wooden stake.

In the end, it was the fight of the infantry battalion, which was also the most exciting and cruel fight.

Su Tiancheng's expression remained the same, while Qu Qingze's and Xiong Zijian's expressions changed, including Xiaobai.

Some sergeants fell off their horses and fell heavily on the ground, but without saying a word, they quickly stood up and led the horses to the side. Some sergeants could even see blood on their hands.

When the wooden knife wrapped in a thick cloth was cut on the body, the sound could be heard, the neighing of the horse, the roar of the sergeant, the shadow of the sword, but there was no groaning and screaming.

An hour later, the drill ended.Whether it is the cavalry, the Shenji Battalion, or the infantry, the two sides have implemented a concept in the process of fighting. When they have not received an order to retreat, even if they are the last one in the battle, they cannot retreat.

Su Tiancheng cupped his fists, bowed his waist, and saluted all the soldiers on the battlefield.

"I want to thank you, let me see self-confidence, see honor, an army, what is the most important thing, is the soul of the army, is the belief of invincibility, when our homeland is about to be invaded, when our relatives We are about to be slaughtered, when our family members are about to be insulted, what we need to do is to pick up the steel knife and spear in our hands, and unceremoniously chop off at the opponent's head, our muzzle and cannon, we must attack the enemy Roaring, making our opponents tremble and tremble, making them kneel before us and begging for mercy, I believe that brothers and sisters can do it, we are an invincible army."

"I will swear my allegiance to your lord, and my allegiance to Daming..."

Sun Yuankun took the lead in uttering the slogan, and everyone roared out, the voice was deafening and full of momentum.

After the drill, the banquet has been set up, today is special, you can drink in the barracks.

Su Tiancheng was in high spirits, picked up a big bowl, and toasted many soldiers. This time, he was drunk. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
