Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 842 Different Army

After drinking for three rounds, everyone slowly let go, and what they said was less restrained.

Guan Shigu said: "We have seen your army in the past few days. To be honest, there are many differences. Some we can understand, some can't understand. Especially what your army has been saying all the time, the army is organized, What is compared is comprehensive combat power, not individual bravery. What is organized? Why doesn’t the army talk about individual bravery? After much deliberation, I can’t think of a reason.”

Liu Qi said: "If it wasn't for the battle of Dantouzhai, you wiped out the Jin army with only 3000 people, we would just take it as a joke."

Jiang Min thought for a while, and said: "If you really want to talk about the organizational ability of the army, it will be very complicated and unclear. All in all, the command, logistics, and morale of the army are all part of it. It’s not comprehensive. When teaching in a military academy, no matter how clear the teacher is, the students still don’t know and feel that they can’t understand. When I lead the soldiers myself in the future, I will gradually deepen my understanding. After leading the soldiers for a while, I will understand.”

Wu Jie and Liu Qi looked at each other and nodded secretly.

They are all generals who lead their own troops, so of course they have their own understanding.It's just that I've never said it like this before, and I don't know what it's talking about, so I feel confused.These days in the Wang Xiao hunting army, visiting, communicating, and learning, I slowly feel it.

Is personal bravery useful?Of course it works.A fierce general is equivalent to several opponents, and the benefits are visible to the naked eye.However, for an army, thousands or even tens of thousands of people, how useful is one person's bravery?
Personal bravery, I feel that it is not as good as the individual training in Wang Xiao's hunting army.Standard combat actions, uniform, sophisticated equipment, so that the combat effectiveness displayed will be greater.Is this personal bravery?It seems to be, but it's not only that.

Maybe it's organization?At least it should be part of the organizational strength.

Several people discussed for a while and shook their heads.

Jiang Min and the others didn't say much.Can't say much.The term organizational strength is far beyond this world.Even if Wang Xiaolie, even if it was clearly proposed, still went through several armies and repeated iterations until Jiang Min was barely satisfied.How can you explain it clearly to someone who has never been in touch with it?

Liu Qi said: "I feel that the Taiwei's army is completely different from ours. What we think is important, the Taiwei thinks it is not important. What we think is not important, the Taiwei attaches great importance to it. However, the Taiwei won consecutive battles. , making people very suspicious."

Wu Jie and Guan Shigu nodded, feeling a little depressed.

Wang Xiaolie has won consecutive battles and almost never lost, which is what makes people frustrating.I don't even want to find an excuse for myself.

Recognizing that the combat effectiveness of the army mainly comes from organizational capabilities is a leap forward in military understanding, and this progress cannot be overstated.Since then, the military has become a science, not just experience and genius.

This is the same as the national army during the Anti-Japanese War.There are also many top generals, including middle-level generals, who are loyal to the country.However, their efforts looked tragic and helpless in front of the Japanese army.Even when World War II was about to end, the whole world was counterattacking against Fass, and the national army and Henan, Hunan, and Guangxi were defeated.People often talk about the tragic history of the Sichuan army going out of Sichuan to fight against Japan, but few people analyze how many of Sichuan's strong men went to the anti-Japanese battlefield and how many died on the road.

This systemic and institutional backwardness is the root cause of military backwardness.The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not weaker than those of the Jin Dynasty.The weapons of the Song Dynasty were not weaker than those of the Jin Army.The logistics of the Song Dynasty did not lag behind that of the Jin Dynasty.However, the organization of the Song Dynasty army lagged far behind that of the Jin army.

The advancement of the Jin army is not institutional, but just because of the early Jin Dynasty, its army happened to have such a performance.When the Song Dynasty army was integrated, it was not weaker than the Jin Dynasty army, and even won the battle.

When studying military issues, it is wrong to only study a few famous generals. It is necessary to examine the organization and system of the army.At this time, except for a very small number of troops, most of the Song army did not have the advantage over the Jin army.

Wu Jie, Liu Qi, and Guan Shigu could only tell that Wang Xiaolie's army was different from his own.They still don't understand why there are these differences and what effect these differences have on the combat effectiveness of the army.

After drinking for a while, Guan Shigu said: "People often say that fighting is fighting for money and food. There is no money in the waist, and it is difficult for a hero. But I see that in your army, the soldiers' salaries are not high, and the rewards are not generous. How do they Are you willing to risk your life?"

Jiang Min said: "Of course they are working for the country, not for the money. Besides, although the salary is not rich, it is not bad."

In the Song Dynasty, the military salary of the general forbidden army was five hundred cash per month, and the monthly ration was two stones and five buckets.Of course, the salaries of different armies are different now, and the price of goods has risen by an unknown amount, so there is no uniform standard.The soldiers of Wang Xiaohun's army are five hundred Wen, and eight hundred Wen for more than one year, until they retire.The effect is three to ten, divided into five levels.The food is served in the military cafeteria, and there is no monthly food.

Although it is said that soldiers are serving in the army, Wang Xiaolie did not withhold their salaries, and even increased them.It's just that the monthly rations are not distributed, and it has been changed to a military canteen.For the soldiers, since their family members do not join the army, all their food, clothing and housing are in the army, and their real income has also increased.

Compared with the armies of Wu Jie, Liu Qi, and Guan Shigu, only the rewards for killing enemies are relatively small, but fair.

Wu Jie said: "I heard that Wang Taiwei made some meritorious officials. If the soldiers really kill the enemy and make meritorious service, they will be rewarded. However, soldiers fight for money. Are these useful? Not to mention, many people simply look for No more family members."

Jiang Min said: "If you really can't find your family members, naturally the army will arrange it on your behalf, and you will not miss the sacrifice. Whether it will be useful or not, it has just been implemented now, so it is hard to say. After a long time, I will naturally know."

Guan Shigu shook his head slightly, apparently not approving this approach.

When soldiers eat food, money is the most affordable, how can soldiers be willing if they don't take money out?

Looking at the looks of several people, Zhang Jun obviously disagreed.Dao: "The reason why Xuan Fu did this is because he thinks that the soldiers fight not only for rewards, but also because they have a heart to serve the country. Now in the mountains in the north, there are many rebels. These people don't talk about rewards, and they can't even eat. What are they for?"

Wu Jie and the others were stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Zhang Jundao: "The reason why there are honors and meritorious officials is because Xuanfu believes that rewards are not enough for their meritorious deeds, and other things are needed. So even if it is just a soldier who has truly made meritorious service to the country, he will enjoy sacrifices after death. For example, in the Battle of Dantouzhai, there was a soldier Mengdu who killed many enemies and was awarded the honor of guarding the army. After his body returned to his hometown, Zhizhou personally buried him and set up a temple to worship at four o'clock. People have a heart of honor and disgrace, so they naturally know what to do That kind of people."

Liu Qi nodded silently, knowing what Zhang Jun meant.

But this method cannot be learned by other armies, at least not in the short term.The systems in the army are different, especially the atmosphere is different, and more importantly, the local officials may not cooperate.Zhizhou funeral, who cares about you?
To learn from Wang Xiaolie's army, it is necessary to completely change the army's system and the corresponding political system.Instead of scales and claws, a little here, a little there.It is impossible for the army of the Song Dynasty not to undergo a complete overhaul.

(I have something to do in the past two days, the update is unstable, sorry. If possible, I will make it up in a few days.)
