Chapter 25 How to train troops?

(Signed, added more)

Majiazhai, Chengcheng, Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, the Ming Dynasty, where the Pingchuan River meets.

"Does anyone know how to train troops?" Liu Ze asked the people around him, everyone shook their heads in confusion, and only Lao Kong replied: "I have read the new book of Ji Xiao written by Qi Nantang. It has a lot of merits with the car camp!"

Liu Ze also agreed: "I have also read Ji Xiao's new book, and I deeply feel its practicality. For example, the mandarin duck formation is most suitable for rugged roads, coastal mountains and swampy areas, and it is easiest to use small troops in close combat. The chariot battalion is designed to restrain cavalry. In wartime, the chariot battalion formed a phalanx, and the horse infantry used the chariot as a cover. When encountering the enemy, they first attacked the enemy from a long distance with muskets and artillery. Then use cavalry to pursue it. The method is a good method, but considering our current conditions, it is difficult to copy them all. We don’t even have a few weapons at hand, let alone armor, firearms, chariots and cavalry.”

Hearing what Liu Ze said, several people around him sighed, and even Lao Kong stroked his beard in thought, not knowing what to say.

"Don't be discouraged, we don't have anything now, but our hundreds of people are the greatest wealth. Let's pick the soft persimmons around us and expand our strength step by step. If there are no guns or cannons, I will find a way to find a blacksmith to make them!" Liu Ze patted his chest and encouraged everyone.

Liu Ze continued to ask: "Do you have any suggestions? What should we do first? What should we do next?"

Several other people shook their heads because they knew nothing about the military. Only Lao Kong knew a little bit, but Lao Kong also shook his head and said: "I think we all know nothing about military affairs, and I only know about Qi Nantang's selection and formation of troops. , The method of training soldiers, but it is only on paper!"

"Although we don't have any weapons and equipment, we can't just wait. Let's train our troops first, and then we can use them directly when we have the equipment!" Liu Ze continued to encourage, "If we don't know how to learn slowly, study slowly, step by step Come, one day we can build a strong army!"

Seeing that everyone else just nodded and couldn't express any opinions, Lao Kong asked Liu Ze, "Muzhi, how do you want to train soldiers? How do you study? Soldiers are a major issue for the country, it's not a child's play!"

Liu Ze spread his hands and said, "Old Kong, I know what you mean, but we can't quit. Besides, I understand a little bit. Now that we are weak, let's fight and train!"

Holding the handle of the knife, Liu Ze stood up and faced the subordinates who were eating in the field, and said, "I want to turn these people into the seeds of our army, and I want to teach everyone to read and write! Old Kong, from now on you will How about being a teacher of literacy for us people?"

"There is no class in teaching, and I am not without teaching!" Seeing Liu Ze's solemnity, Lao Kong also stood up and said with fists in his hands.

"I also have my own ideas about what they learn and how to teach them in the future. You should listen to me. This is very important!"

Old Kong also nodded. In his heart, he thought that what Liu Ze wanted to teach was to teach some loyalty, but he never expected that Liu Ze would not teach the words of a sage, and only taught common words, and even sacrificed some words to reduce the difficulty. Things like punctuation marks, Arabic numerals and Chinese Pinyin.

In fact, Liu Ze is still very confident in training a strong army, because in Liu Ze's heart, a strong army can be compared. Maybe now compared with the elite frontier army, this new army is a beggar army, but Compared with those landlords' family guards, the new army of these beggars is crushing.

The war on the ancient battlefield is not one-on-one fighting alone in the movie. The real situation is that the guns are poked and the guns are poked. Individual bravery has no resistance in front of the group. The organization of the army is the most important thing. The most important link, if the organization is full, instead of collapsing after a loss of [-]% or [-]% like most ancient armies, then even a weaker individual soldier is enough to fight against a strong army.

Liu Ze simply divided the armed forces of the army into: one-star army, two-star army and three-star army.

The classification criterion is internal organization rather than the use of weapons.For example, the veteran soldiers in Saudi Arabia are a typical one-star army. No matter how modern their weapons and establishment are, they cannot defeat the Houthi armed forces whose core is a two-star army mixed with a three-star army.

Even in modern times, our army is the only standard three-star army on earth!In the civil war, the national army of the two-star army with no generation of weapons is called abuse!In the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the U.S. military, whose equipment was higher than one level and armed to the teeth with two-star and three-star troops, was able to fight back and forth without falling behind!
First, let’s talk about Liu Ze’s classification criteria:

One-star army: Its combat effectiveness varies greatly. The main body has no desire to fight and can only improve its combat level through generals. It itself is an armed force that exists to satisfy the selfish desires of its controllers.Many times it will collapse if it suffers 10% casualties!
Two-star army: Armed with a small number of officers as the core and a large number of soldiers as consumables.Know what to fight for and act with that conviction.This belief can be animalistic desire, religiousism or nationalism and so on.But its disadvantage is that it is rigid and dogmatic, and it is easy to have a group death charge on the Somme and similar situations.

Three-Star Army: Basic combat literacy is required, and more importantly, the ability to judge right from wrong and unswerving beliefs.

The simplest source of their ability to judge right and wrong is reading and literacy, but once they have this ability, it is usually difficult to have unwavering faith.And if an armed force possesses both the ability to judge right from wrong and unwavering faith, its explosive combat effectiveness, subjective initiative and fighting will will be unparalleled!Like during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, it was not uncommon for there to be only the last person standing on the battlefield.And it has more difficult and other valuable evolutionary ability!Both tactics and organization system are extremely flexible, so this kind of armed force is the most difficult to deal with.Unless the generation difference of weapons far exceeds it, under the same circumstances, there is basically no hope of winning.

The above three classifications may appear mixed in one armed force, and may also present different states at each stage.

For example, the U.S. military in World War II is completely different from the current U.S. military. The Qi family army can be judged as a two-star army, while the veteran Saudi soldiers with modern weapons can only be a one-star army.

Generally speaking, with the same level of technology, the three-star army absolutely crushed the two-star army, and the two-star army absolutely crushed the one-star army.

And what kind of armed forces you want to build is not a simple matter of one sentence, because armed organizations are an extension of social organizations and the most efficient part of social organizations.

What kind of social production relations will have what kind of arms.

If you want to be the leader of a wealthy businessman or other dynamic organization, then the main body of your subordinates can only be one-star troops.

If you want to be emperor or president, the most you can train is a two-star army mixed with some three-star troops.

This is the reason why Liu Ze took the path of the peasants and the poor, because he wanted to change the cycle of chaos in order to change the sad history in the future.

In the afternoon, Liu Ze officially announced his army building plan.

Its organization is also named after army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad (this organization is not introduced from modern foreign countries, it is a traditional army organization in ancient China, and it was also used in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period. After Sun Yat-sen restored China, an interim presidential decree was issued, formally establishing the establishment for the purpose of restoring the traditional Chinese military establishment.)
Ten people form a squad, with a squad leader and a deputy squad leader, and they are divided into two combat teams led by the two of them respectively.

Three shifts form a platoon, with a platoon leader and a deputy platoon leader, totaling 32 people.

Three platoons form an infantry company, plus a five-person cooking squad and company headquarters. There are chief and deputy company commanders, chief and deputy instructors, and a chief of staff responsible for daily debris handling. These five people and three platoon leaders are There are 108 officers and company commanders in this company with a correspondent and part-time security guard, and an instructor with a clerk.

The squad leaders, deputy squad leaders, correspondents, and clerks here are all non-commissioned officers, and everyone else is private soldiers.

Now Liu Ze has only selected enough troops for a company from the more than [-] people, and all the other men have been assigned to the militia. The militia here is led by Lao Kong, and Liu Ze appointed himself as the commander. Company commander part-time military academy principal.

Although there are many names, in fact, the personnel are basically not completed. They just put on airs first, and even the various non-commissioned officers and officers have not been finalized, because these are prepared to be internally selected in the training by war and then Liu Ze formally appointed.

Liu Ze divides his armed forces into three parts: field troops, local troops and militia, and he is adding a military academy.

Among them, the field troops are mainly mobile troops that act as the main force. The personnel of the team are selected as young and middle-aged, and the weapons will be the best.

Now that the conditions are poor, we can only use long spears. Since there are not enough iron spear heads, we use long wooden sticks sharpened by fire knives to make do, and then make some javelins and shields for matching. Unarmored armed men are enough.

Local troops are responsible for carrying out regional military tasks, such as guarding, training militias, carrying out mass work, maintaining law and order, eliminating bandits, and guarding prisoners. Under normal circumstances, they will not fight outside the jurisdiction.During wartime, they can cooperate with field troops to fight, lead and command militia defense, etc., and can also be supplemented or changed into field troops in the future.Its personnel selection range is the same as that of field troops, but its weapons and personnel supply are ranked after field troops, and all establishments are the same as field troops.

As the name suggests, the militia is the armed forces of the masses. As a reserve force for the regular army, such as the militia organizations in various villages, etc., the mass armed organizations that do not break away from production at ordinary times can usually be counted as part of the local army.

The name of each unit starts with the first company of the People's Army, and each row is called one company and one row, one company two rows, and one company three rows.Classes are also called one row one row one class, and one row one row two classes are named with numbers.

In this way, everyone can easily know the unit to which they belong.

After the establishments are divided in the square, Lao Kong enters them into the roster one by one, and the personnel with the same establishments will be arranged to live together in the future. They will no longer cook by themselves, but the cooking team will cook collectively. Everyone will eat big pot meals .

Women and children are grouped into family camps, and the separation system is implemented on weekdays. Only during the holidays can the husband and wife reunite. This is also impossible, and the conditions are limited.

Then after simple grouping, we will officially start to borrow food and money tomorrow!
