Chapter 5 Rebuilding Daling River City

Updated: 2012-09-22

After preparing the cotton armor and playing cards for the six hundred Changping soldiers, it was already the end of March.Apart from transporting grain to Jinzhou twice, there was basically nothing to do, which gave Shi Dayong enough time to train his troops.

During the period of waiting for the cotton armor and shields to arrive, Shi Dayong divided the [-] Changping soldiers into six teams and two battalions, and the two battalions were named "Yongzi Battalion" and "Wuzi Battalion".

Huang An, the commander-in-chief of the Yongzi Battalion, leads the three teams of A, B and C. The leaders of the three teams are Ma Zhong, Guo Er, and Shi Hai.

Shao Wu, the general manager of Wuzi Yingqian, led the three teams of Ding Wuji, and the leaders of the three teams were Zhao Kegang, Lu Jiang, and Wang Zhengqi. [

The three hundred cavalry were combined into one battalion, Jiang Wanli was still in charge of the general, and Wu Tieshan, Sun Youjin, and Li Changhe were the generals of the three teams.

There are five small flags under each arm, and a small flag leads twenty soldiers.

Shi Dayong originally had a personal army of 13 people, and he drew 37 people from each battalion to form his own personal army, with Guo Yi as the captain.

Although I don't understand why the garrison lord disrupted the original organization and formed a new battalion, none of the generals had any objections.After all, after the establishment of the new battalion, the top and bottom are much clearer.In the past, some generals had four or fifty people under their command, while others had only two or thirty people.With this change now, everyone has the same strength, so there is no complaint.

.........

After the adaptation was completed, Shi Dayong invited Governor Qiu Hejialing to requisition [-] young men from the people who sent food from Ningyuan to form the Songshan supply camp.In peacetime, he is responsible for the management and escort of the civilian husbands, and in wartime, he acts as an auxiliary soldier.Chief Qian of the supply battalion was Li Dashan, the former captain of the personal army, and the general and Xiaoqi of each team were directly appointed from among the young and strong.

Ningyuan was quite dissatisfied with Songshan's arbitrarily detaining three hundred young men, and wrote a letter to the governor's office in Jinzhou, but was suppressed by Qiu Hejia.Afterwards, the attention of the entire Liaodong was attracted by a major event, that is, Sun Chengzong's order to hang the seal of the striker general, and Zu Dashou, the striker general of Liaodong, led [-] troops, and [-] civilians went to Jinzhou three miles away. The Daling River, which is more than ten miles away, built the city.

This is the third time that Dalinghe City has been rebuilt. Forty to fifty thousand soldiers and civilians were used, which was almost the main force of the Ming army on the front line of Jinzhou, and it cost a lot of money.Under Sun Chengzong's strict order, from the governor's yamen in Liaodong to the guards in various places, they all devoted themselves to the task of building the city of Daling River.However, these things that happened in Songshan were no longer noticed.

The fortification of Daling River began on the third day of April. From that day on, Shi Dayong's task became onerous.In the past, he transported the grain accumulated in Songshan to Jinzhou, and the journey was only more than 20 miles, but now he has to transport it to the Daling River, which is almost [-] miles away. Needless to say, it is difficult.

Fortunately, after more than two months of transportation, nothing happened. The Houjin side seemed to be deaf, and ignored the Ming army rebuilding Dalinghe City under their noses, except occasionally some Houjin cavalry came to scout Outside, there was no more movement.

The officials who were very worried that Houjin would send troops to prevent the Ming army from rebuilding Dalinghe City were all relieved.Zu Dashou reported that according to the current progress of the project, the construction of Daling River City will be completed by the end of August. At that time, the front line of Ming Dynasty in Liaodong will be transformed from Jinzhou to Daling River City. "Recovering more than [-] miles of lost land", this is undoubtedly a great joy for Emperor Chongzhen, who is eagerly looking forward to the improvement of Liao affairs.Under the joy of Longyan, the civil servants and generals in Liaodong will naturally feel the mighty grace of the emperor.

Whether the emperor's grace is mighty or not, for Xiaoxiaosongshan's defense, it's hard to tell.

Shi Dayong was preoccupied with his affairs.

Transporting food is a major event, and training troops is even more important.

The construction of Dalinghe City is in full swing, and Shi Dayong's military training is also in full swing.

Although the Great Leap Forward revolution in weapons and equipment using the knowledge of later generations failed, the military training methods of later generations can still be adopted.

For a month, Shi Dayong tirelessly taught the soldiers of the Wu and Yong Battalions to distinguish between left and right and line up training every day, roughly enabling them to reach the level of university military training in later generations. Although they are not satisfied, they can achieve such achievements. Shi Dayong was quite proud.

Formation training is boring and seemingly useless, but it allows soldiers to find a sense of belonging to the group, which is especially useful in wartime. [

An army that is easily disintegrated cannot become a strong army in any case.

The weapons and equipment of the Wu and Yong Battalions are still the old blunderbuss, which is the standard weapon of the Ming army. Although Shi Dayong knows that this kind of blunderbuss has no effect, even if he uses the three-stage shooting method, the lethality is extremely limited.But if they are not allowed to use the bird gun, he will not have any good weapons to provide them for a while.Therefore, the soldiers can only continue to use the bird guns, but at the same time Shi Dayong emphasized the importance of the sword and the spear, and hinted to the generals that the bird guns are only auxiliary weapons, and the key is to rely on the sword and spear.

Under Shi Dayong's constant indoctrination of "the theory of bayonet decisive victory", all the generals generally have a clear understanding. Combined with the previous battle against Jiannu, they all agree with the viewpoint of the defender.

Of course, it is not Shi Dayong's style to know the disadvantages and not do anything, let alone a gambler's style.With an ugly hand, the most sensible way is to give up, instead of pretending to be a big hand and trying to "steal chicken" to win.

On the battlefield, strength always determines everything, and the behavior of "stealing chickens" has only one consequence, and that is the place of death.

If you want to win, you have to have a big card. The truth on the gambling table is used on the battlefield-the battle is not sure.

It doesn't matter if the bird gun is useless, as long as the array can be kept from being overwhelmed by the Eight Banners cavalry, the fire stick can always have some effect.But to keep the array from being overwhelmed by the cavalry, it is definitely not possible to rely on bird guns.

On April [-], Shi Dayong ordered all the Wuzi camp and the supply camp to go to the nearby mountains to cut down birch trees. There was only one requirement for the felled birch trees: neither too thin nor too short.

The standard is one foot, and the thickness must be more than half a foot. Using the measurement method of later generations, the length must be three and a half meters, and the width must be more than twenty centimeters.

Birch wood is the hardest, not easy to break, and can withstand gravity. Therefore, after experimenting with more than a dozen tree types, Shi Dayong set his sights on birch.

The subordinates were baffled by the garrison's order to cut down the birches, but the military order must not be violated. Three days later, according to Shi Dayong's request, a hundred birches that met the standard were neatly placed in the camp.

After inspecting these birch trees one by one, Yuan Dahai gave an order: "Sharpen all these trees!"

Hearing the order, Qianzong Huang An had no choice but to order his subordinates to lead the general to sharpen the birch.

A piece of birch that is more than three meters long and over twenty centimeters thick is still very heavy. It is a bit difficult for one person to hold it, but it is just right for two people to hold it, but Shi Dayong asked three people to hold one piece.

After ordering all three soldiers in Wuziying to hold a birch with their right hand and a shield with their left, Shi Dayong climbed to a high platform, waved the command flag, and ordered the soldiers to advance or retreat according to the command flag.

When marching, it is required to carry the wood forward; when stopping, it is required to place the birch with its tip facing outwards and lay it flat on the ground;

"Enter!"

"stop!"

"vertical!"

After doing this exercise no less than a hundred times, the soldiers were so tired that their mouths were parched. When everyone looked bitter, Shi Dayong nodded in satisfaction, indicating that today's exercise is over and will continue tomorrow.

The next day, he practiced like this again for three days in a row. [
