The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 383 Sand Table Military Exercise
As soon as the words of corruption and pleasure came out, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became a little stiff.

Even the sound of breathing was restrained as much as possible, for fear of attracting His Majesty's attention.

Some behaviors in the army are even more outrageous than some officials. If they are strictly investigated, few can escape.

Civil servants, you can live with a breeze in your sleeves.

But military generals, if they don’t eat it themselves, the brothers under their command must eat it, so they have to try their best to make money in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

Even Feng Sheng, who is known as benevolence and righteousness, cannot say that there is no problem at all, at least according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it has not been investigated.

However, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the wind of Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment of corruption has never blown into the army.

Just mentioning such a word today made everyone feel sorry for him.

For the people who lowered their heads slightly, Zhu Ying had a strange expression on his face.

In other words, when the old man asked where the map came from, his expression had already started to look a little strange.

At this point, even more so.

Seeing that the eldest grandson hadn't spoken for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help turning his head to look.

Sensing the old man's gaze, Zhu Ying also knew that it was impossible to shirk, so he had no choice but to explain: "The place on this map is where Suner deliberately imitated military formations and tactics in many places from the classics of military strategists, and then combined them with some famous historical records. The battle is a patchwork."

"Sun'er's idea is that in the process of deduction, there can be a richer process in terms of tactics, and it can also allow soldiers to go to the battlefield later and quickly familiarize themselves with various environments."

Zhu Yuanzhang:
Everyone: .
We have been guessing about the relationship for so long, and our brains were broken, and His Majesty reprimanded us a lot. In the end, grandson, you said that this map is made up of pieces?
This, wrong!

"His Royal Highness really has a whimsical idea and thoughtful considerations. How can ordinary people think of such a method."

"If you take a certain place as an example, the soldiers will inevitably be limited, so and so, wonderful! Great!"

Feng Sheng was the first to react, and then he immediately got rid of the awkward atmosphere and praised lavishly.

Or how to say that reading more is good. Although Feng Sheng was honored with military achievements, his family was not poor since he was a child. Over the years, he has always loved reading.

Because there is no need for imperial examinations, Feng Sheng has read a wide range of books. In terms of real materials, it is difficult for ordinary Jinshi to match.

Following Feng Sheng's opening, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, Cao Zhen and the others were also noisy, praising as if they had suddenly realized, as if what His Majesty said just now had never happened.

Who doesn't know that His Majesty is small-minded, if he is missed, life will be difficult in the future.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang, it was not a big deal.

Instead, he carefully looked at the sand table map and said: "Dasun's map should not be simple. We looked at the many small squares on it and wondered what they meant. Did they mean distance? "

Sure enough, it had to be the old man, and he discovered the mystery all at once.

"Grandpa is amazing, and he discovered it right away. This sand table map can not only be used as a military deduction, but also like Go, with the world as the board and soldiers as the chess board."

While talking, Zhu Ying opened the drawer hidden under the desk.

Inside the drawer were stacks of small blue flags with the word infantry on them.

Zhu Ying motioned to the surrounding generals to open the drawers below them.

It was a five-color flag of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, and each flag had a mark on it.

Cavalry, artillery, chariots, and infantry make up four arms.

After taking them all out, Zhu Ying didn't hesitate, and directly started to talk about the rules.

The gameplay of this sand table military flag is actually similar to the military chess of later generations, mainly used for some arrangements when marching.

For example, under the referee, one day counts, cavalry can move four squares, chariots three squares, chariots two squares, and infantry one square.

In different areas, such as jungle, flat land, mountain forest, the speed will also be different.

For the generals here, the rules are still a big deal.

But Zhu Yuanzhang quickly understood the meaning, and his eyes lit up.

The second person who understood was Feng Sheng.

In Zhu Ying's detailed narration, many people also began to have a vague concept.

Feng Sheng frowned and said: "This kind of sand table military chess is very good, I am afraid that it is an ordinary soldier, even the rules are extremely difficult to understand, and a lot of calculations are involved in it. If one step is wrong, the whole game will be lost."

Zhu Ying replied with a smile: "Song Guogong is right, that's why I want to establish a military academy."

"If every hundred households in the guard can understand arithmetic, tactics, and formation of troops, then what kind of effect will be achieved in a battle involving tens of thousands of people? There should be a few."

"It's just like the Xuanjiawei army exercise just now, although the place is not too big, and it can't be like a real battle, but the hundreds of households and the general banner linked up and down in it played an extremely important role in changing the entire army formation and facing the enemy. Good effect."

"Only in this way can we accurately convey the meaning of the commander to the hearts of every soldier, thus forming a strong cooperative combat capability."

Zhu Ying's narration is to convey a key message, that is, the key training objects are not generals, let alone thousands of households, commanders.

It was Baihu, Zongqi, and even middle- and low-level officers like Xiaoqi.

In Zhu Ying's view, the most important thing for an army to be effective is not the commander, but these seemingly insignificant hundreds of households and the general banner are the key.

When their military literacy is high enough, a team's combat effectiveness will be extremely solidified and powerful.

"Your Highness is a great talent. I just realized this matter. Why do you want to build a military academy and pass it on like the Imperial Academy?"

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. However, His Royal Highness sees it more deeply, because even if the leading general has high talents, it is useless if he cannot really control the army."

"The minister has been fighting in the south and the north for many years. Regarding this point, he feels powerless. Every time he trains the new army, it is because of this."

Feng Sheng said as if enlightened.

Everyone felt the same when they heard it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were even brighter.

For the generals, leading the army is even easier.

But for the royal family, the role of generals is greatly weakened, which is very conducive to the stability of the imperial power.

Because most of the current soldiers are fellow soldiers, and the leading general and the soldiers under his command have a very close relationship.

For example, if the generals in the north lead the soldiers in the south, the general's talent will be reduced by three points, and the combat power of the soldiers will drop even more.

If the training is carried out according to Zhu Ying's method, then this close connection will be severed to a large extent.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying hit the rails while it was hot: "Grandpa, now that the military academy has just been established, my grandson thinks that all generals can be admitted to the academy as teachers."
