Chapter 41 Killing the Power Stick
Although Mei Zhihuan generously sponsored a batch of firearms among Liu Jun, Liu Jun finally decided not to change the original organization and equipment configuration plan. The original six teams of the left and right flags and the weapons configurations of the warriors of each team remained unchanged, but one artillery team was added to each of the left and right flags.
The artillery team is directly under the jurisdiction of each flag and flag. Fortunately, this kind of tiger squat cannon is very light and convenient to operate. One shot can only be operated by two people. Therefore, Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang finally divided three tiger squat cannons one by one, and a new artillery group was set up under the banner, and together with the original four servants, they formed a flag-level team.
There are two warrior flags, one flag has three warrior teams, plus one flag-level team. Each of the three warrior teams is still twelve people, one team leader, equipped with flag guns, waist knives and a small-shot bow. Then there are four bow knives, equipped with long swords and small-shot bows. Then there are four bird gunners, equipped with bird guns and long swords. The remaining two hook gunners, equipped with hook sickle guns and thirty rockets.
This kind of rocket does not need a bow. It has a gunpowder paper tube tied to the arrow. When facing the enemy, put the hook gun flat, then place the rocket flat on the hook gun flat, ignite the rocket directly, and launches it at the enemy. It relies entirely on the boost of gunpowder instead of launching it with the bow. Although this kind of rocket has very low accuracy, its range is very long. When facing the enemy, the rockets rush into the enemy formation and run around. The enemy has no idea who the rocket is going to shoot, and it is a good equipment to create riots.
The last fire soldier was responsible for cooking, and he also picked up some other supplies. The team leader directly commanded the command, while other soldiers had no right to instruct.
Of course, they were still a horse team, so each soldier was equipped with a horse.
In addition, each flag also has three tiger squat cannons, and four servants directly belong to the flag chief.
The weapons and equipment have been sent, but Liu Jun does not intend to let them start training bird guns, bows and horse riding immediately. Qi Shaobao also said that first you have to practice your strength and courage in training troops, and then you can practice their skills.
Liu Jun was a soldier in his later generations and had to join the army for three months of training. He had to concentrate on living and training together. The purpose was to enable the recruits who were recruited to quickly adapt to the process of civilian transfer, understand the normal living order of the troops, and through learning and basic quality training, the recruits lay the foundation and transform them into a soldier.
Liu Jun felt that this process was very necessary.
These monks, hunters, postmen, farmers, craftsmen, scholars, etc. who were recruited by the people came from all walks of life and had to build them into a whole before they could talk about training troops.
"Jiye, what do you think is the most basic thing in training?" Li Chunjiang asked.
"Orders are forbidden." Liu Jun replied without hesitation. If orders are forbidden, then an army would be trained. It is said that when Qi Shaobao was transferred to Jizhen to train troops, he led the Zhejiang soldiers north. That day, the troops from Jizhou were greeted, but it rained heavily halfway. The soldiers in Jizhou suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, but only the Zhejiang soldiers brought by Qi Jiguang remained motionless in the rain as if they were like a mountain. Seeing this, the soldiers in the north truly believed in the reputation of the Qi family army.
However, Liu Jun also knew how difficult it was to implement orders. More than 90% of the Ming Dynasty's army would probably not implement orders.
"Jiye thought what is the primary focus of training?" Li Chunjiang also knew that it was difficult to enforce orders, so he asked again.
Liu Jun smiled, "It is said that the emperor and the ministers in the court have also discussed this issue. Some ministers replied that enough soldiers and enough wages can be made into elite soldiers and can fight Jianlu. Our cavalry team has a great advantage compared to the military and horses of the court. You see, we have more than 100 soldiers in three flags in one game, which can be said to be full soldiers. Moreover, each of our soldiers has a basic salary of two taels of silver. Compared with many border soldiers, we can be called full salary. The only thing we lack now is enough training."
"Then how Jiye plans to train his troops?"
"First carry out three months of basic training. In the first month, only the queue, physical fitness, and flag, golden drum orders are trained. Start the second month, increase training in various subjects such as riding, archery, swords and guns. In the third month, start training in array tactics."
Li Chunjiang heard what Liu Jun said seem to make sense, and then said, "If you draw up a training plan, I will leave all the training matters to you. You are the head coach of our cavalry team. In addition, my servants have fought with the Tartars in Liaodong. If you need it, I can ask them to assist you in training. In addition, Mei Gong also sent a few gunners and gunners, and they can also help train the bird gunners and gunners."
"No hurry, do a month of basic training before talking about other things."
"I've listened to you. These days I'm responsible for checking the traces of the thieves that were everywhere near the Queen's City." Li Chunjiang was very concerned about this and was obsessed with it.
"Be careful."
With the support of Li Chunjiang, Liu Jun officially became the head coach of the Jiutou Horse Team. His training method is basically based on Qi Shaobao's new book, the actual military training record, his own experience in the army and his experience in martial arts.
Liu Jun distributed the equipment to the village warriors, asking them to take good care of the armor, and even asked them to take care of the war horses themselves, feed and wash the war horses every day. However, they were strictly regulated and were not allowed to ride war horses, nor were they allowed to shoot arrows at will, nor were they allowed to fire guns and cannons.
He put away the arrows and gunpowder lead and locked them in the warehouse.
In the morning, the sky was lightly dawn, and the number rang when the wake-up call rang, and then the number was played. If one of the township heroes of each team was late by mistake, the whole team had to be punished together. They were punished to run, push-ups, and jumping, but they were not punished to lose food. They were punished, and the food was still very good every day, with big white rice full and a meal of meat every day.
Various horns were used in the military camp to convey instructions so that these soldiers could adapt to this way of contact and transmission in the army.
Then the formal training begins.
More than a hundred people gathered on the school grounds, and before they could get rid of the habits of the people, they would inevitably whisper.
On the first day of formal training, the local warriors had already rushed to the playground to take the team, but Liu Jun, the head coach, did not appear for a long time. He waited until the sun had risen to mid-air. Two hours passed, but Liu Jun still did not appear.
A group of people finally felt a little impatient to wait, especially the squad leaders of the Zuoqi team. They were originally Li Chunjiang's servants and had worked as soldiers in Liaodong to fight wars. Therefore, they inevitably had the habit of Ming soldiers, which was a loose discipline.
"Liu Qi hasn't been overslept, right?" Mao Gui, the president of the Zuoqi A team, hugged his arms and said sarcastically.
Qian Gu, the team leader of Team B, wiped the sweat from his forehead and snorted, "I think he is just playing with us."
"Damn it, I won't play with him anymore. Whoever likes to stand will stand." Li Chunjiang's three house leaders finally couldn't stand it anymore. They left the team one by one and walked straight to the tree on the side to enjoy the cool air.
At this time, Liu Jun was actually looking at the playground in a room not far away. There was a cup of herbal tea in front of him, and next to him was Li Chunjiang, who had been going out early and returning late to investigate the thieves these days.
"Public record, I will lend you a few servants to kill the chicken to warn the monkey later. You won't feel sorry for and reluctant to let go, right?" Liu Jun said with a smile.
Li Chunjiang shook his head and chuckled, "You, there are always so many bad ideas. But it doesn't matter, as long as it can play a good role, it doesn't matter. To be honest, these people claim to have killed Tartars in Liaodong, and they are always arrogant and domineering, and even I don't take it seriously. If the family had not been asking for help and arranged for them to follow me, I wouldn't be willing to take them with them. Today you can kill them."
"That's good. Today I will lend a few of them to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and to take a serious training discipline."
In ancient times, there was a killing stick. When a prisoner was arrested, he had to kill the stick first.
Now that Liu Jun is going to train troops, he also came up with an idea. He should first teach the Li family members who are the most domineering and do not take him seriously.
Today he deliberately refused to show up, and asked the village warriors to stand there for two hours at a time to bask in the sun, because he expected that the Li family would never be so honest about being sunbathed there.
But these guys are pretty good, and they stood for two hours before leaving the team. Originally, Liu Jun thought they were about to rebel in half an hour.
"Let's go, kill the chicken." Liu Jun waved his hand, and the four Zhongqi Army Prison and his four servants immediately followed him to the playground.
The three Li family members under the tree over there also saw Liu Jun coming out, but they had no intention of getting up and returning to the team. Liu Jun sneered twice, a group of idiots.
"Come, take them down!"
Four military prisons in charge of military discipline and four servants of Liu Jun rushed over. The servants of the Li family were still in resistance. Liu Jun walked up to him and punched them and knocked them to the ground. The military prison and servants took the opportunity to come forward and tied their arms one by one with cow tendons, and then carried them to the earthen platform.
The local warriors on the stage who had been a little impatient had been secretly frightened when they saw this situation, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that they had not left the team just now.
"Why are you taking us by someone surnamed Liu?"
"Why? I am your chief coach." Liu Jun snorted coldly, then waved his hand, "When you were training, you violated military orders, left the team privately, and complained, disrupting the morale of the army. Now I announce that each of you will be fined twenty military sticks and demoted to ordinary combat soldiers."
"Come on, drag it down and fight!"
Three Li Jiajiadi, who served as the head of the Left Banner Team, were dragged down, and took off his pants and exposed his butt and started to beat him up. One stick at a time, stick at a time.
After a while, after the twenty army was beaten, the three teams were basically humming.
"Carry down and let the doctor treat it."
Then Liu Jun announced on the spot that the three teams vacant from Zuoqi were temporarily vacant. One month later, the best-performing township warriors in Zuoqi could have the opportunity to sign up for the three teams to compete for the top positions and choose the best.
After dealing with the three Li family heads, dismissed the three team chief positions, and promised Zuoqi Township Yong to compete with the team chief, the atmosphere on the court changed suddenly. Originally, everyone was a little crooked, but after a military stick, even though the sun became hotter and hotter, everyone was full of energy.
However, in Liu Jun's opinion, these people are still just a mob.
Training must start from the queue.
In ancient times, the battle formations were actually the most relied on combat formations, and the battle formations depended on strict discipline and a strict queue. The queues were the basics of the battle formations. If even his team could not be trained well, what else would they talk about?
Especially Qi Jiguang's military strategy, he focused on the formation of battle formations. His Qi family army was the most basic tactical unit. A team of twelve people is the most standard battle formation.
At present, Liu Jun still conducts team training according to the team, with twelve people in a team. The first content of training is three steps.
Step forward, step in sync, run.
The main steps are these three, including squatting, standing up, standing attentively, and saluting.
This is the most basic training subject and the first step in training.
"The team with the worst training results of each team, stand in military posture for a quarter of an hour!" Liu Jun loudly announced the punishment measures. Seeing the famous team's village warriors disagreed, Liu Jun sneered in his heart, "It won't take long to know how severe the punishment is to stand in military posture!"
Chapter completed!
