Of course, in addition to cultivating the soldiers' sense of honor, it is also very necessary to formulate strict military rules and regulations.

The soldiers must be made clear from the bottom of their heart that they are not just a joke when they join the army and fight, and war is not a joke.

What they shoulder is the responsibility of defending their country, and their words and deeds represent the Ming Dynasty.

The situation of soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty was not as good as bandits and looting the people could never appear in the new army.

As for the types of soldiers in the Prussian Legion, Zhu Youlang felt that there was no need to copy them.

But some very distinctive types of troops can be retained.

For example, a grenade.

Grenadiers are organized separately, and soldiers need to be responsible for throwing grenades, so they must ensure that the soldiers grow Kong Wu is strong and have enough strength to throw.

As for musketeers, there is no need to mention artillery soldiers.

In addition, Zhu Youlang decided to draw a flintlock rifle regiment from the elite New Army.

Judging from the current situation, most soldiers still have to be equipped with a mezzanine, and according to Francisco's feedback, the deresert needle gun is very difficult to imitate and is easy to encounter technical bottlenecks, so they can basically give up.

On the contrary, the flintlock rifle is likely to be successfully copied.

If it goes well, the flintlock rifle can be equipped with about a thousand people.

This number is not too large, nor is it too small.

It has an elite flintlock rifle with a thousand-person flintlock rifle, which can carry out effective strikes on the enemy's main force at any time.

The scene of queuing up to shoot the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, think about it, don’t be too beautiful.

Of course, it takes a lot of time to completely imitate a thousand flintlock rifles, which Zhu Youlang needs to fight for.

There is no doubt that the function of the flintlock spearmen is to attack in line, cooperate with the cavalry and artillery to implement firepower suppression. This is the elite among the elite, and resources must be tilted to ensure.

In addition, Zhu Youlang is also preparing to set up a hunting team.

Their main function is to detect, which is similar to that of scouts and whistle cavalry.

Hunter is a real warrior and needs to face many special situations alone, so it must be energetic, have a strong heart and endurance.

Finally, there is the Free Camp.

The number of soldiers in a fully-organized Prussian Free Battalion was between 500 and 700. Zhu Youlang could adjust according to the situation of the New Army of the Southern Ming Dynasty, slightly increasing the number to 1,000.

The free camp pursues mobility, and only tents and light guns can be used as much as possible, so that it can support friendly forces at any time.

In other words, it serves as a filler.

He will appear wherever he needs it.

In addition, Zhu Youlang also prepared to equip the smoothbore flintlock rifle with bayonets. Although this will add a lot of weight to the flintlock rifle, the role of the bayonet during hand-to-hand combat is self-evident when necessary.

Compared with French firearms, the biggest feature of Prussian firearms is the pursuit of fire rate rather than accuracy.

In other words, the martial arts in the world are only fast and not broken.

As long as you play faster than your opponent, you will take the lead.

As for the accuracy issue, it can be compensated by density and quantity.

Isn’t this what you do when line arrays and line-up shooting?

In the daily training of soldiers, volleys are the most important ones!

Only by practicing the volley can the flintlock spearmen exert their maximum power.

The platoon of line infantry is very particular.

Generally speaking, the right hand of a soldier in the early line array must be placed behind the left hand of the soldier holding a smoothbore flintlock rifle on his right, which has the problem that it will appear very crowded.

Zhu Youlang decided to make a little adjustment and turned the distance between the soldiers into the width of the connection between the elbows, which is about half a meter.

This is also to adapt to the characteristics of the flintlock rifle.

Relatively speaking, the formation of the smoothbore flintlock rifle array does not need to be too tight, and the relatively scattered formation will easily exert its power.

The entire flintlock rifle array is in three rows, and the three rows of horizontal lines not only ensure sufficient firepower, but also guarantee subsequent strength, which is the best of both worlds.

Of course, this requires a lot of training to prevent the soldiers behind from being blocked by the soldiers in front.

There are also strict requirements for the marching speed of line infantry.

Generally speaking, you first sprint at about ninety steps per minute and slowly slow down to seventy steps.

Even when transporting supplies during rest, you must march at this speed.

This regulation seems a bit strict, but in fact it is to cultivate the execution ability of soldiers.

After all, the horizontal and vertical teams must maintain a constant speed, otherwise it is likely to cause serious gaps in the queue to affect the overall marching.

Since ancient times, the square formation has been a killing weapon against cavalry.

The Modao Formation in the Tang Dynasty and the Macedonian Formation in Europe have this principle.

The same is true in the era of alternating hot and cold weapons. The cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty was more of a horse-riding infantry than a cavalry.

Their combat method is not as harassing as the Mongolian cavalry, but rather the attack method of heavy cavalry.

The best way to deal with this kind of cavalry is to use a chronic regiment square array to achieve horizontal and vertical transformation from the flank to the center.

There are many types of specific marching methods that can be flexibly used according to the situation on the field.

But the basic types of soldiers need to be mastered, so that they will not lose their composure when facing emergencies.

As for the loading of flintlock rifles, it also requires training.

Compared with the ignition rate of about 50% of the ignition rate of the flintlock gun, the ignition rate of more than 85% of the ignition rate of the flintlock gun is extremely efficient.

The fixed-packing of paper-shell gunpowder also greatly improves the firing rate of flintlock rifle, but it still requires proficiency even if it is simplified.

Only after a lot of daily training can the soldiers form a kind of muscle memory, can they be at ease on the battlefield without making mistakes.

Overall, quantitative training is the key to cultivating new troops.

All Zhu Youlang can do is write a tutorial. As for the specific implementation, it depends on the instructors at the first level.

However, Zhu Youlang is still a little worried about the instructor's quality.

After all, most of these instructors were veterans in the Ming army in the past, and they were taught more by experience.

To truly realize the new military model in its mind, a group of new military officers need to be trained.

It seems that the establishment of the Imperial Ming Military Academy is urgent.

Zhu Youlang wrote more than a thousand words in a casual manner. Just as he was about to take a break, the eunuch Han Miao reported to Wen Anzhi for a request for a visit.

Zhu Youlang quickly summoned him.

But Wen'an Zhi entered the house in a blatant manner, bowed to Zhu Youlang and said, "Your Majesty, it's a great joy."

Seeing his abnormal look, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but feel a little curious.

What kind of joy is it that makes the always steady and steady Supervisor Wen happy like this?

"Oh? Why are you happy?"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Huangyan, Zheng Chenggong's troops withdrew from the Yangtze River and captured the Zhoushan Islands, and now they have a foothold."

Zhu Youlang was also surprised when he heard this.

It turned out that after Zheng Chenggong failed to attack Nanjing, he did not retreat directly like in history, but instead met with Zhang Huangyan and killed one and took down the Zhoushan Islands.

Perhaps it was Zhu Youlang's letter that reminded him that it made Zheng Chenggong's main force not suffer as serious as in history. If you have the capital to attack the Zhoushan Islands again!
