Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 963 Internal and External Training (2)

If you want to eradicate the hidden dregs, there is no other way but to physically eliminate them, so an army that is absolutely obedient is particularly important.

sunset.

The sky was densely packed with fiery clouds.

Suburbs of Beijing.

Fengtai Camp.

"Hurry up and wash up!!"

"Today there is stew!"

"If it's too late, you won't even be able to grab the meat!"

In one part of the military camp, hundreds of army soldiers gathered, standing upright like mud monkeys, their officers glaring and shouting.

The exhausted soldiers' eyes lit up and their spirits instantly lifted when they heard that there was stewed meat to eat. Since the camp was closed for reorganization, although they were completely isolated from the outside world and all units had started reorganization and training, they were really tiring, but they could eat meat every now and then, and some of them with outstanding performance could even stop training for half a day to a day to rest at their discretion. This was the best thing for the grassroots soldiers.

"hurry up!"

"Come on!"

As the order to disband was given, the soldiers rushed forward like wolves, each carrying their toiletries, and ran towards the bathroom in front.

"These guys~"

When Zhao Chuanhai saw this scene, he couldn't help but curse. As a captain of the newly formed First Army, he was under a lot of pressure.

The Beijing Army garrisoning the capital city and its environs must be closed for reorganization in accordance with imperial orders. This requires a lot of adjustments, and the military systems at all levels must be streamlined and improved.

The lower-level soldiers have their things to do, and the officers and generals at all levels have their things to do. The emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and no one dares to slack off or neglect it.

"Old Five, come and try the cigarettes from the First Association."

While Zhao Chuanhai was sighing with emotion, Zheng Ba, a captain from the same band, came up to him mysteriously. Under Zhao Chuanhai's puzzled gaze, he took out a white paper bag and a box of matches from his arms.

"Damn it, how come you have this rare thing?"

When Zhao Chuanhai saw it, he looked at Zheng Ba with shining eyes and said excitedly: "Isn't this thing... specially supplied to those standard troops?"

"Keep your fucking voice down."

Zheng Ba glared and scolded, then looked around and saw that there was no one around. He tore open the package, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Zhao Chuanhai, "Want one?"

"Then we must have some!"

Zhao Chuanhai grinned and said, "Damn it, I've been craving this for a long time."

As he said that, he took the cigarette in front of him, snatched the matchbox from Zheng Ba's hand, took out a match, struck it lightly, and quickly lit the cigarette.

"The cigarettes produced by the cigarette factory under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu are really enjoyable to smoke." After puffing away for a while, Zhao Chuanhai sighed.

"After a tiring day, taking a puff is really a relief. After all, it's a special supply, and it's different from the ones sold in our military camp."

"That's for sure."

Zheng Ba said proudly, "If it wasn't a special supply, I would have lost face and asked my fellow villager for a pack. Damn, the treatment of the standard soldiers is good."

"indeed."

Zhao Chuanhai sighed, "Let's not talk about these things. Just the complete set of standard muskets and artillery, I have been coveting them for a long time." "I can't help but accept it."

"Which of the troops designated as standard troops by the military is just average? Whether it's coordinated combat or individual soldier quality, they are all the strongest."

"What I envy the most is the new military uniforms they are distributing. Damn, those are what people wear, especially the officers. The long leather boots they wear, I want to get a pair of them to wear."

"Haha~"

After hearing this, Zheng Ba couldn't help but burst out laughing.

With the issuance of the decree for reorganization and training, the Beijing Army, which guards the capital and its surrounding areas, underwent a comprehensive adjustment, which was a thorough reform of the system.

In order to enable the First to Eighth Army to be reorganized as quickly as possible, Zhu Youxiao used the most direct stimulation method and spent a huge amount of money to arm a group of pure firearms troops, which would be the mainstream equipment of the Ming Army in the future.

No one knows better than Zhu Youxiao the main development of future wars: the era of cold weapons will surely become a thing of the past, and the era of hot weapons will become the foundation.

The large-scale deployment of firearms has caused the army to develop in this direction, which is an irreversible trend. Of course, some cold weapons need to be improved to a higher level and installed as one of the alternative armaments, which also needs to be taken into account, but firearms are bound to be the larger ones.

As this trend becomes more and more obvious, both the bulky armor and the clearer command system must be eliminated and improved.

"I have something to tell you."

Zheng Ba smiled, then his expression turned serious. He said to Zhao Chuanhai, "I heard that the military is planning to draft a few more standard armies to speed up the reorganization of our First Army. I don't care whether they smoke or not, but I have been eyeing the idea of ​​all the soldiers being equipped with firearms for a long time."

"Damn it, think about it. The cavalry under my command are all equipped with Yongle-style cavalry rifles and even dozens of light artillery pieces. If we want to go to the battlefield, then..."

"Is this true?"

Zhao Chuanhai widened his eyes and looked at Zheng Badao in astonishment.

"I've heard it all."

Zheng Ba took the last puff of his cigarette, then threw the butt onto the ground and stepped on it. "As for whether it's true or not, that depends on what you think. I've told you this, but don't let me outsmart you. Let's go. We've been tired all day, and it's time to take a hot bath. You won't be able to grab any meat later."

Zhao Chuanhai stood there, watching Zheng Ba's departing back, and ripples began to form in his heart.

If that's what you say, then it must be true.

If that's the case, he must fight for it! !
Damn it! As a graduate of the Royal Military Academy, in the previous competition, the battalion he led was only a few points behind the last-placed armies.

Otherwise, his battalion school would also be able to be included in the standard army sequence.

Because of this incident, he trained his soldiers very hard.

"grass!"

Zhao Chuanhai, who was thinking about these things, was burned by the burning cigarette, so he quickly threw away the cigarette in his hand. After stepping on the cigarette, Zhao Chuanhai quickly walked towards Zheng Ba.

"Old Zheng, wait for me!"

Zhao Chuan ran to the beach and shouted, "Today I will treat you to meat and make sure you are full!!"

Such important news would be kept secret by anyone who has some thoughts about it, and only those who are really interested in it would speak out about it.

After all, the more people know, the greater the uncertainty.

The Standard Army is a very special existence in the newly formed army. Since it is to motivate the army soldiers, Zhu Youxiao must do his best.

According to Zhu Youxiao's idea, the future Ming army will inevitably move towards this model. As for the huge military expenditure, it can be transferred through external expansion and external rule. Of course, this is inseparable from the coordination between land and sea. After all, in this period, the real treasure house is the ocean, especially maritime trade. Whoever can control the important sea routes will control a steady stream of financial resources! !
