Lord of Ming Dynasty

This is really embarrassing thing.

Why did the road go so fast, in such a hurry, and into a dead end?

At this time, the attendant ran over and whispered to Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "This is really good news, Du Ge actually hanged Zhang Huangyan, and Zhang Huangyan followed him all the way, and he will arrive soon Changsha Mansion."

Zhang Qiang really wanted to see how capable Zhang Huangyan was. He could not only manage the state affairs, but also command the army to fight.

Zhang Qiang smiled and said to the attendants beside him: "This Du Ge didn't have the patience to stay in the Baozhong Mansion, and he wanted to make contributions like Xuanyuan Longfei, get promoted and make a fortune, so I threw him to the center and gave him a high-ranking official. As a result, He has been idle for a few months, but he still hasn't tempered his mind, and he actually wants to stop Zhang Huangyan. This is asking me for credit, and he is also telling me, look, he can do it!"

Zhang Qiang touched the beard growing under his chin. In order to fit the aesthetics of people of this era, Zhang Qiang also grew a goatee-like beard, which made his already fat face a little thinner and more beautiful.

"In this case, let him handle foreign affairs with Zhang Liang, and transfer him to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a servant. Let him suffer." After speaking, Zhang Qiang laughed.

He also figured it out, since there is no way to continue the fight, let's face it first, and solve the trouble in the other direction first, Zhang Huangyan is here, listen to his views on Nanming, maybe Zhang Huangyan can solve Li Dingguo's problem.

Chapter 5 Improving the Quality of Soldiers

"This is the letterhead sent by someone from Li Dingguo. He hopes to get your advice and help." Gu Yuesheng said to Zhang Qiang holding a copy of letterhead from Li Dingguo in Yunnan Province that was transferred through the Ministry of Military Intelligence.

At this time, Zhang Qiang had moved Xingyuan from Changsha Mansion to Wuhan Mansion, and the First Guards Brigade of the Guards Division who followed him to the north and south returned to the central Jinhua Mansion to garrison, and all the troops stationed in Jinhua Mansion were moved to Dongyang Town University. The battalion was intensively trained. This time, an elite battalion of all the field brigades was transferred. This elite battalion is also a battalion composed of elite soldiers and officers from each field brigade.

These field brigades from various states of the Huaxia Army stationed, defended, and attacked have gathered more than 30 battalions for the center. Each battalion is an elite-level soldier or a grassroots officer. Thirty, in addition to the elite soldiers and grassroots officers of the various garrison regiments, the elite garrison, the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief, there are a total of [-] of these people, from several states, almost half of the garrison regiments of the Ming territory There are more than [-] officers in it, which is more than rubbish.It came together without much effort.

In addition, [-] low-level officers and well-performing officers from each guard brigade gathered together, and a battalion of elite soldiers gathered together.

What are these for?

Zhang Qiang prepares to open the military academy.

In the past, the Huaxia Army learned from the army of the Beiyang period. In fact, they ran a military school, but the cultivation of talents in that way was too unsystematic and too low-level. Most of the talents trained were veterans of the former army. They went to night school and learned a few words , Can understand orders, know the semaphore, trumpet sound, contact method in the army, know how to train soldiers to walk in the queue, and then follow the above meaning, dogma, rigidly execute orders, have no own thoughts, just crude semi-finished products.

Such grassroots officers have been naturally eliminated over the years.

Some died in the battle, some were injured and retired in the battle, some violated military regulations and were forced to retire, or were thrown into prisoner camps for reform, and some grew into more senior grassroots Officers became the elite of the militia, and were selected to serve as company commanders in the garrison company. After that, they would be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the garrison battalion, or the commander-in-chief of the garrison. The head of the garrison regiment, either became an elite soldier of the field brigade, or became a grassroots officer of the field brigade, an excellent officer, and his status was at least the commander of a thousand battalion of the field brigade.

Well-developed people entered the new barracks and were reworked, but in fact it was just a solid foundation, or they became more biased and developed in another direction.

Since the new barracks, there have been slightly advanced military academies for training, but these military academies are at most inheriting the experience of veterans, learning the experience of some well-known generals, and not learning more from the overall situation or from the level of the Huaxia Army. Systematically, improve yourself in terms of ideology, skills, command operations, or your own development.

Due to the frequent wars and the economic and political aspects of the Huaxia Army territory, Zhang Qiang did not go to the real and serious establishment of a military academy, a regular and systematic military academy that the Huaxia Army officers and men would yearn for. So Zhang Qiang is now going to set up such a military academy.

The military academy is divided into basic subjects such as infantry, artillery, sailors, cavalry, engineers, supplies, and ideological education of the Huaxia Army. It is aimed at elite soldiers and the training time is three months. In fact, it is a systematic analysis of what the soldiers have experienced before. One time, and then add the experience of some famous generals, and teach them to the soldiers. Every officer and soldier who is gathered must study such a basic subject seriously, and must study it.

After the basic subjects, there are professional subjects, which are divided into:

Cold weapon subjects, hand-to-hand combat, formation, queue, formation, tactics, coordination of various arms, mountain combat, individual squad combat, personal weapon selection, role in the queue, and coordination with firearms troops.

Why teach cold weapon subjects?

Because to put it bluntly, Ming was still in the middle of the feudal dynasty, and the technology was not very developed. Even though firearms had been used since the Song Dynasty, the main combat mode was cold weapon hand-to-hand combat. Firearms only changed the combat method, but cold weapon combat did not. They were not completely abandoned, so soldiers and officers of the Huaxia Army in the Ming Dynasty should strengthen their bodies and learn how to use and fight cold weapons. They should not throw away cold weapons just because the firearms are powerful, or they will suffer losses.

The Huaxia Army wants to unify the country, and the great cause of hegemony will often be fought in some places, such as the mountains of Guangxi, the uninhabited land of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Burma. Then wait until the bullets run out, wait until the shells are gone, should you surrender to the enemy?

This subject requires these soldiers to be familiar with it for one month, study for one month, and then conduct field exercises and exams for another month, three months.

Firearms subjects: the origin, history, manufacture of firearms, how to use crude firearms in a crude situation, how to fight the enemy with inferior firearms, the principle of firearms, everyone must learn to operate all kinds of low-level to various advanced Firearms, from practice to proficiency in one month.

The command of firearms troops, the establishment of troops, and how to use firearms troops to fight, the confrontation with cold weapon troops, the confrontation with firearm troops, fortified battles, field battles, pursuit battles, the role of staff officers, the role of logistics, and the role of engineers, what a commander should know Let them know that it's another month.

Then to learn culture, you need to understand more advanced commands, you need to be able to draw, measure, and read pictures, you need to know more knowledge, and at the same time teach some information acquisition, use, and impact on combat.European history, the history of the development of firearms in Western Europe, their use, Westerners' ships, literature, technology, etc.

This process takes a year. It can be said that the professional subjects are complicated but not refined, but it can greatly improve the level and awareness of the commanders. Maybe they can't learn much in a year, but it will definitely have a great impact on their own improvement, and on the Huaxia Army. Cohesion is of great help, only if they understand this, the Huaxia Army will be a united whole.

It takes one and a half years for professional subjects. The last three months are exams, drills, and drills. In the last month, they are sent to various troops for internships. After graduation, they will become military commanders at the rank of lieutenant general. After becoming an intermediate military school teacher, these people can also be transferred to civil servants after they are educated.

This is a more systematic and professional military academy than the military academy in the new barracks and the previous military academy, which is close to the level of the so-called Whampoa Military Academy of later generations.

Chapter 5 The Role of Military Academy

These people graduated from basic subjects, senior officers, such as garrison generals, etc., who fell into the newly formed field brigade from the garrison battalion to serve as officers of this level, which is equivalent to being promoted to a higher level, and they will have a share in future promotions.

Middle-level officers, grass-roots officers, and elite soldiers will enter the Guards Brigade, serve as officers and soldiers who are downgraded, and become newly formed Guards Brigades, or supplementary forces in the old Guards Brigades.

After years of development in the Guards Brigade, some unqualified soldiers and officers have been transferred in, and some things have happened to the elite. Therefore, Zhang Qiang wants to carry out a blood exchange. It will take half a year, three months to study, and three Monthly assessment and review, and then transferred to the guard brigade, all those who are unqualified, or who are not suitable to stay in the guard brigade for various reasons, are all transferred to the field brigade, garrison regiment, and garrison battalion. It is really impossible , directly retired and sent to the local government to serve as some low-level officials.

Some qualified soldiers and officials with good loyalty and ability after review will be promoted to the new liberated state to serve as some low-level officials. They are officials, not officials or officials. The head of the township at the department level, the mayor of the town, and even the county magistrate.

These people were sent in the past as a reward for them. They may not be able to adapt to the life of the army. Maybe the Huaxia Army needs them to manage the place for the Huaxia Army, guard the place, and monitor other officials.

Of course, in addition to these people, some local officials also need to be adjusted. They are all scholars from the old Ming Dynasty, capable of both literature and military affairs. Some civilian officials, these people are needed by the army.

The Huaxia Army's army is developing in an increasingly regular direction.

These scholars, attendants, and trained officials need to undergo one-month military training after being transferred, and the remaining three months will follow the soldiers of basic subjects and the bottom-level corps leaders, chiefs, small banners, general banners, and hundreds of households. Wait for others to study. After learning, they have almost become a soldier, and then they can graduate in the fifth month, and then carry out three months of actual combat exercises with the army, or go to the battlefield to experience combat.

A total of eight months of study, training, assessment, and practice are required to graduate in basic subjects, and then enter the garrison regiment, field brigade and regiment-level unit, and serve as a soldier. Soldiers, officers, or staff officers of the Guards Brigade.

Zhang Qiang plans to use two years to upgrade, select, exchange blood, and purify the Guards Brigade, so that the Guards Brigade can become a real, elite, qualified regular army, and a modern army.

Xiao Fei was originally the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Jinhua Rebel Army. Later, he took command of the Fourth Field Brigade and was finally transferred to the Third Field Brigade. Under the command of Wei Wuji, he confronted the Qing Army along the Yangtze River for two years. When the war broke out, he was transferred to Jiujiang Mansion again, took control of the militia brigade and the garrison, formed a headquarters, and jointly commanded the No.20 Field Brigade led by Brother Zhu and the No.20 First Field Brigade led by Mei Linyu, and later joined the Tong Dawei's Fifth Cavalry Brigade and Wang Yuqun's No.19 Field Brigade commanded a huge force of nearly [-] troops.

Later, he took control of the 20th Field Brigade that came for reinforcements. Now the [-]th Field Brigade is handed over to Brother Zhu, who was once the deputy commander of the [-]th Field Brigade. Zhu Ge stepped down as the brigade commander of the [-]nd Cavalry Brigade and led the No.[-] Field Brigade , Brother Zhu is now the real brigade commander of the Seventh Field Brigade. This position will not change for a period of time, but it may change in the future.

Now Hubei Prefecture has No.20 Fourth Field Brigade, No.20 Third Field Brigade, No.20 Six Field Brigade, a total of seven or eight brigades, plus two cavalry brigades and two guard brigades.The strength of the army is almost comparable to that of the army led by Wei Wuji along the Yangtze River.

Zhang Qiang wondered if he should adjust it. After thinking about it, Zhang Qiang felt that Xuanyuan Longfei's troops and Wei Wuji's troops in the southwest should be swapped. The troops in the two places hadn't changed their commanders or pulled them down for a long time.

After thinking about it, he returned to Jingzhou Fucheng, and began to issue orders to take Jin Lin from Baozhong Mansion to Jinling Mansion to replace Wei Wuji in guarding Jinling Mansion, and confront the Lu Guoming Army led by Lu Guo and Hong Chengchou.

Wei Wuji returned to the center to sit in command. He is the largest army leader, and it is not an option to leave the center for a long time.

Transfer Du Ge to Baozhong Mansion and let him and He Jin cooperate to defend Baozhong Mansion and develop Baozhong Mansion.

The 11th, 12th, and field brigades were transferred to replace Ma Sanli's 6th field brigade, and the third field brigade, which Wei Wuji personally controlled, went to Baozhong Mansion to rest and supplement defense.

Promote Jin Lin to lead the 11th Field Brigade, Ma Sanli to lead the 12th Field Brigade, Du Ge to lead the 6rd Field Brigade, He Jin to lead the 13th Field Brigade, and the remaining Field Brigade No. 13 Field Brigade to be transferred to the southwest of Guangzhou. Ma Han took over the No.[-] field brigade, and then transferred Feng Wuyu's second field brigade to the southwest defense line, and Feng Wuyu followed to the southwest defense line to take charge of the work there.

Xuanyuan Longfei was transferred to Wuchang Mansion, and the Fifth Field Brigade still followed.

Ruan Jin took over Ma Weixing's [-]th Field Brigade and was stationed in Anqing Prefecture. The generals were changed, but the soldiers of the [-]th Field Brigade did not move, and the station did not move.

The Ninth Field Brigade did not move, and the commander was replaced by Bagyalu. The Third Cavalry Brigade was transferred to the central Jinhua Mansion, and Wei Wuji personally took charge of it.

Ma Weiren, the commander of the Ninth Field Brigade, went to take over the No.18 Field Brigade and stationed in Hanyang Prefecture.

The No.20 Sixth Field Brigade was transferred from the Hubei battlefield to defend the Southern Ming Army in Shaoguan, Guangdong.

Looking at Li Dingguo's letterhead, Zhang Qiang had a feeling of the end of a hero. If he hadn't been a time traveler, he might have been worse than Li Dingguo. Maybe he could have achieved more glory with some vague memories, but in the end, at home and abroad , monarchs, subordinates, under a series of difficult problems, were forced to collapse, or die directly.
