Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 18 Preparation
After Zhu Jingan took over the army, the first thing he had to consider was the establishment of the Ming army.

The organization of the army is not something that the general can decide upon with a slap on the head.

Specific considerations must be made based on the relevant situations between the enemy and ourselves.

For example, the status of our army's ordnance and equipment, the strategies and tactics of both the enemy and ourselves, and the battle plans on the battlefield, etc.

The organization of an army needs to be formulated based on these, and cannot be decided by patting one's head on.

For example, if you are a pure cold weapon unit, but you insist on organizing it according to the squad, platoon, company and battalion organization of the firearms era, don't you have a serious illness?

The tactics, fighting methods, battle arrays, etc. of cold weapon troops and firearms troops are completely different.

The difference between them is huge. If they are mixed, problems will definitely occur.

The current situation of the Ming army is that almost all of its ordnance is cold weapons.

In order to adapt to the military's armament, the Ming army's wartime military formations must be dense formations most suitable for cold weapon operations.

Combining the above conditions, Zhu Jingan decided to copy the former Ming Dynasty's battalion sentry recruitment and the military system of the garrison.

Then combine the two and compile a military system suitable for the current Ming army.

It's not that Zhu Jingan acted hastily and decided the military system of the Ming army so easily, but at the moment, determining the military system is a very urgent matter for the current Ming army.

Because only by straightening out the organization of the army can we proceed with the next steps.

Regardless of whether the military system is good or bad, advanced or backward, having it is definitely better than not having it.

Of course, this is definitely not plagiarism!
After all, if the grandson copies his grandfather’s affairs, can that be called plagiarism?
That’s called inheritance, that’s called carrying forward, you know?
According to Zhu Jingan's vision, the most basic organizational structure of the Ming army was a team, with 12 people per team and team officers.

Further up, there are three teams as flags, one flag with 36 people and a small flag.

The three flags constitute a bureau. There are about 110 people in a bureau and there are hundreds of households.

The three bureaus are divided into divisions, and each division has about 350 people and a general manager.

The three divisions are divided into departments. Each department has about 1000 people and [-] households.

There are three battalions, one battalion has 3000 people and a staff general.

The three battalions form an army, which consists of ten thousand people and a general army.

For the time being, the three hundred Ming troops can be organized into a division, which has three bureaus and nine banners.

Zhu Jingan planned to directly arrange for the Zhu family's close servants to hold the official positions of Baihu and Xiaoqi officials.

The lowest-level team officers are ready to let the soldiers below make their own recommendations.

Well, Zhu Jingan learned this trick from Yuan Shikai, a friend of the Qing Dynasty.

Let the lower-level soldiers recommend junior officers themselves. The elected officers will either have outstanding abilities or high prestige.

Such people all have a unified characteristic, that is, they can convince the crowd and make the soldiers at the bottom obedient.

For an army, if the soldiers at the bottom are obedient, it means that the military orders are understood.

Whether on the training ground or during war, this is a very important thing!

In the next period of time, while Zhu Jingan focused on the formation of the army, he also began to pay close attention to training.

As for the training of the Ming army, it is currently a simple formation drill and spear assassination training.

The biggest difference between an army and a group of farmers is organization and discipline.

The main purpose of practicing formation is not to make the army look good when walking, but to engrave the army's organization, discipline and obedience in the bones of all soldiers.Let them on the battlefield, according to the muscle memory formed over a long period of time on the training ground, everyone advances and retreats together, and forms an array to fight the enemy.

The spear assassination training is because in the next period of time, the main weapon of the Ming army will be the spear.

In order to allow the Ming army to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the spear assassination training cannot be relaxed at all.

As for physical training and personal martial arts training, they have to be ranked at the back.

Don’t worry about this yet!
……

Pan Dazhu had a red cloth tied to his arm to distinguish his identity. He stood in front of his soldiers, and spoke with dignity on his face.

"Brothers, the days we lived before, to put it bluntly, were not fucking human lives."

"Those of us were kidnapped by the Yang family and tricked into using them as slaves in the mines. Every day we took the huge risk of mine collapses and death without a burial place and worked hard in the mines, but we didn't even have enough food and clothing. A luxury.”

"Even on weekdays, I am often whipped and scolded by the supervisor, and treated like an animal."

"Why can the Yang family treat us like this? To put it bluntly, it's because the Yang family is a family of officials. Some of them are officials and some are dogs for the Tatars, so the government of the dog Tatars will support them."

"And we are just a group of ordinary people. We have no power. Just because of this, we deserve to be bullied by the Tatar government and deserve to be squeezed to death by those evil gentry!"

"We deserve to be drained of our flesh and blood and fattened by those meat eaters."

"Damn it, I've had enough of this kind of life!"

"Today, here, I want to ask you, do you want to continue to be oppressed for the rest of your fucking lives, and do you want to continue to be manipulated like livestock?"

Pan Dazhu's dark face turned red from holding back, his chest heaved violently, and he kept roaring.

Originally, Pan Dazhu was somewhat resistant to having his braids cut off and being forced to join the Ming army.

But when he was promoted to an officer, he transformed from an ordinary soldier into a team officer in charge of 12 people.

He smelled so good instantly!
He, Lao Pan, had been a farmer for most of his life, and he never imagined that one day he could become an official.

Not to mention anything else, just for this point, Pan Dazhu is now a hundred loyal to Ming Dynasty.

A group of men with skin tanned by the sun in front of him heard this and shouted in unison.

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"..."

Seeing this, Pan Dazhu continued.

"Since no one is willing to continue to be humanoid beasts that can walk upright in the eyes of the officials and powerful people, we must hurry up and train hard to practice the ability to kill enemies."

"Then, we can follow His Highness the Supervisor and the Grand Governor to drive out the Tartars, restore the Ming Dynasty, overthrow the Tatar government who want to oppress the Han people in our world forever, and overthrow the bureaucrats and gentry who oppress us."

"Only in this way can we people get rid of our current status as cows and horses, become heroes of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, get rid of the shackles of the current class, and become masters who no one will dare to bully anymore."

"I hope that one day, when your children are wronged outside, they can raise their chests, point at the nose of the person who dares to bully him, and tell them that my father is so-and-so."

"Instead of being bullied, you can only suffer the injustice. As a father, you can only timidly tell your children that suffering is a blessing. We can't afford to offend each other, so we should bear with it."
