August 9, 1590 AD. Early in the morning.

The Wuzhai Fort is located about 300 meters outside the fort. The martial arts hall, watchtower and teaching ground are mixed in. Usually, this is the place where the Wuzhai Fort Guard will meet in autumn every year.

However, in recent years, the garrisons were corrupt. In addition to some servants of the Huang family who came to practice, the soldiers in the fort usually had a rare opportunity to come here. In addition to the annual autumn training, this place has become a playground for children in the Wuzhaibao for most of the year.

However, today, all the children who were playing here were driven away because the Qianhu of Huang Laifu was going to raise the flag and arrange generals here today and practice military horses.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the trumpet drummer on the court was already blowing loudly. The Qing Dao soldiers, holding a big banner, opened the road in front. Huang Laifu was wearing iron-leaf armor, surrounded by the servants, rode a horse, stern reins in his hands, and carried a knife bag on his waist, and entered the court with high spirits from the horse road.

When entering the Martial Arts Hall, the flag secretary, drummer, and other officers were already serving outside the Martial Arts Hall. He Chaoxun, He Deputy Thousand Houses, Jiang Yongsheng, Jiang Baijia, Yang Anzhang, Yang Baijia, Li An, Li Cheng, Han Bing and other officers were already clean and clean, standing aside, waiting for Huang Laifu to get promoted to the tent.

Huang Laifu walked in, and everyone knelt on one knee, bowed to Huang Laifu with fists. Huang Laifu nodded slightly and sat down in the middle. The officers stood up and sat down in the east and west walls.

As soon as Huang Laifu sat down, his armor leaves sounded. Today he wore a six-petal bright iron helmet, a stroking knife, and a set of bright armor passed down from the ancestors of the Huang family. It was made of pure iron and weighed 57 kilograms. Fortunately, Huang Laifu was strong, so he felt light and had no feeling when he was wearing it. If it were someone else, the iron armor alone would be unbearable.

The armor of the Ming Dynasty has always been heavy, often 50 kilograms and 60 kilograms. After the Hongzhi year, the Ming Dynasty reformed the armor and reduced its weight. However, a pair of armor still generally had 35 kilograms. After the Hongzhi year, the six-petal bright helmets equipped by the generals of the various guards were replaced with eight-petal hat helmets. However, because it was inherited by the ancestors, Huang Laifu still wore 57 kilograms of armor and six-petal bright iron helmets.

Today is a military parade of thousands of households, so naturally everyone has to wear armor. However, among the five villages, there are only a few hundred households with armor, except Huang Laifu, and even the general flags and small flags, there are no armor, let alone ordinary flag soldiers.

At this time, He Chaoxun, He and several hundred households were wearing vermilion target hobs, either wearing lock mail, or wearing blue cloth lace armor, and wearing leather helmets. The grade of the armor was much lower than that of Huang Laifu. In addition, several general flags also wore red patent leather helmets on their heads, and some iron mesh skirts and mesh pants on their bodies.

As for the ordinary flag soldiers on the field, they were all without armor. They were all wearing a fat jacket dress from the Ming Dynasty soldiers. The fat jacket was knee-length, narrow sleeves, cotton inside, and red on the outside. This military uniform is scientifically called the Yuanyang Zhanlu, and its nickname is the Red Fat Jacket. In addition to the red Fat Jacket, the soldiers also wore a military shoe called Fat Jacket and pants on their feet. These military shoes are usually given a pair for three years.

After Huang Laifu's lecture, the exercise began. In addition to Sun Gui, Han Ming's two poliests, He Chaoxun and He Deputy Qian, some servants of the Huang family stood at the scene. Each hundred households returned to their own queues and urged their soldiers to arrange their formations.

The flag soldiers in the comparison field are basically working in various farms of Wuzhaibao. These soldiers, under the sufficient food and hard farm work in various farms of Wuzhaibao, are now in physical condition compared to the previous year. Moreover, their daily collective labor on the farm is better than before. From hard days to good days, these flag soldiers are all grateful to Huang Laifu.

But to be honest, Huang Laifu found that there were many people here who could work on the farm, but as soldiers, they were not. After a long time, they were still noisy below and could not form a formation. In addition, although they worked on the farm, they could eat and drink enough now, but since Huang Laifu had not replaced his post in the past, except for the Huang family's servants, the military uniforms and weapons of the soldiers of Wuzhaibao had never been replaced, and they looked worn out and did not look like a soldier at all.

But it is no wonder that they are the main forces fighting outside now, all the battalions of the towns are the soldiers of the towns. The guards are now just guarding the city and garrisoning the farms. In terms of operation, it is rare to use two or three times a year. Therefore, the messy situation at this time is understandable.

After finally waiting for the soldiers to set up their formation, Huang Laifu looked down from the Martial Arts Hall and saw various flags flying in the field, including blue flags, red flags, yellow flags, black flags, etc., which made him dazzled. At this time, the military camp practice methods of the Ming Dynasty were mostly ancient eight formations, or triassic formations and four-gate square camp methods. After Qi Jiguang's training methods emerged, many generals and officials from border towns also switched to Qi's training methods. However, most of the various garrisons still followed the ancient formations, and the same was true for the Five Village Forts.

The exercise started, and the drums were sounding and the flags were flying. The soldiers below walked around, mixed and shouted loudly, which was quite beautiful. Huang Laifu was as big as a fight. This was the result of the hard work of He Chaoxun and He Deputy He family.

In the entire Wuzhai Fort, in addition to He Chaoxun and He Deputy Qian outdoors, the general flags of each hundred household can also understand some of the golden drum instruments. As for the various flags, they are completely unaware of them. All everyone can do is to exercise themselves to be strong and then take a team of servants to rush forward. If these people are allowed to command, it will be difficult for them.

Looking at the situation below, Deputy Qianhu He stood beside Huang Laifu with a glamorous face. It was already very good to be able to be so good at acting. To be honest, the current soldiers of Wuzhai Fort are already very good in various garrisons, at least in terms of discipline and physical condition.

Huang Laifu rubbed the handle of the knife with his hands, and kept silent. The situation in front of him was obviously too far from what he expected in his heart. His future army would not only be strong, but also scattered when he went into battle, or scattered when he retreated, nor would it be used only to defend the city. The situations performed by the soldiers below were roaring, the flags were flying, and they were walking around. The colorful colors were very colorful. However, according to the actual practice of Qi Jiguang's military training, how could the murder be used to look good? This situation is just a typical mob.

Huang Laifu thought deeply, and it seemed that the organization of the Wuzhai Fort flag soldiers would be brought down and started over.

After letting the generals disperse, it was a fact that they trained again. After returning to Qianhu House, Huang Laifu was always thinking about which training method he should choose. Huang Laifu came from later generations and was influenced by his knowledge and naturally had a little knowledge of the training methods of ancient China and foreign countries. There were also some training methods of modern China and foreign countries in his computer.

After careful consideration, Huang Laifu finally had two choices: training and Spanish phalanx.

In modern times, two methods of training were famous. One was General Qi Jiguang's military training record in the Ming Dynasty, and the other was the Spanish phalanx in the West. Both of these can be said to be awe-inspiring world. The Spanish phalanx was not in the West from the 16th to the mid-17th century.

Similarly, Qi Jiguang, who was in the same era, had no rivals in the entire East. In the era when Qi Jiguang led his troops, he often won more than one or more, but he suffered very little casualties. For example, in the Battle of Huajie in the 40th year of Jiajing, the Qi family army killed more than one thousand Japanese pirates, and only three casualties in his own family. In the Battle of Taizhou, the Qi family army killed more than five thousand,500 Japanese pirates, and the total casualties of less than twenty. Even in the north, when facing the Tatar cavalry, he often won more than one, which can be said to be invincible by the winner.

Both methods are good military training methods, but which one is more suitable for you? In the end, Huang Laifu decided to focus on military training. The main reason is that this method is more suitable for the situation of the Ming sergeants. After all, the good methods of the Qi family army are here, and the good results are also here. After the Spanish quartet is formed, will it become something with Chinese characteristics, and finally change the flavor and turn it into a negative effect?

On the one hand, the grinding of ideological conflicts and tempering is the limitation of actual conditions that determines that Huang Laifu had to choose the actual training of troops first. What are the conditions? That is, firearms, the Spanish phalanx requires a large number of firearms and a large number of cannons, which is what Huang Laifu does not currently have.

At this time of the Ming Dynasty, many of the firearms were of poor quality, and the other was that the state was managed strictly. In the fifth year of Xuande, there was an imperial edict: "The magic guns are valued by the state. They should be given the power of the army at Biandun Fort. They should not be given lightly." In the sixth year of Zhengtong, the border generals Huang Zhen and Yang Hong established the magic gun bureau in Xuanfu. The emperor built fire weapons outside, and he was afraid that the teachings would leak, so he ordered them to stop them. It was not until the 36th year of Jiajing that Jizhen was ordered to set up quick guns, lead bullets and gunpowder for the host and guest officers and soldiers. Generally, the firearms in the Metropolitan Guards must be approved by the court when they produce firearms, and only some hand-held guns with the font size "王". Such as the characters "王", "天日", and "天" can only be made by the military battle bureau.

The management of firearms is so strict and the quality is not good. Huang Laifu went there all at once to find so many excellent firearms? So the Spanish phalanx can only get aside at the moment.

In fact, according to Huang Laifu's view, in this era, as long as you strictly follow Qi Jiguang's training methods, have strict discipline, and sufficient food and excellent weapons, you will be invincible in this eastern world.

Of course, some good things in the army in modern and later generations can be improved and integrated into the war after they become familiar with the training. At present, it is better to strictly follow Qi Jiguang's training methods first.

There is a saying that you learn to walk first, then run away, and then fly later. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in to www.qidian.com for more chapters, support the author and support genuine reading!) (To be continued)
