Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 523
Those who sit here and discuss are all witnesses of the war. Everyone has seen that under the impact of the cavalry, the infantry has no means of pursuit and killing except for strictly guarding the formation and resisting the enemy's cavalry impact and bows and arrows. Most of the enemies killed were the spears that the Tartars collided with when charging into the battle.

Although the firecrackers only have [-] shots, they have maintained their external killing output from the beginning to the end, killing the enemy all the time, and the generals also noticed that dozens of archers also fought the whole process. After the battle, their shoulders could not Lift it up, and calculate it to shoot ten to eleven arrows, but the firecrackers generally fired fifteen rounds. In the end, they couldn't fire because the firecrackers were overheated and the ammunition they carried was limited.

Not to mention, if the enemy is hit by an arrow, if he is not shot at a vital point, he can still fight, but if he is hit by a firecracker, needless to say, he will be killed. up.

Comparing all aspects, it has become everyone's consensus to increase the number and proportion of firecrackers in the infantry regiment.

After discussing a few words, everyone recalled and began to calculate how many firecrackers are suitable. Some people also suggested that the spearmen were forced to be immobilized in this field battle with the Tartar cavalry. If pawns confront each other, spearmen will be able to exert great strength, but after deduction, it is found that in the infantry-to-infantry state, increasing the number of musketeers will have a greater advantage, and this is what everyone agrees on.

The discussion was very boring, and it was very clear how the firecrackers fought. All they wanted to talk about was the ratio and arrangement of the firecrackers and spearmen in a regiment.

A regiment of 600 people and eight battalions remains unchanged, but the original [-] firecrackers in each regiment will be increased to [-] in each regiment, that is, three battalions.

Originally, the plan was to have four battalions per regiment, that is to say, the proportion of firearms and cold weapons was equal, but the manufacture and training of firecrackers may not be able to keep up, so this number was set.

The firecrackers are paid more than the spearmen, and the firecrackers must be filled by the best soldiers. No one has any objection to this. In the battle on the grassland outside the Great Wall, although the firecrackers don’t need to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, But they are the first to encounter the enemy, and there is no shelter. After shooting a round, they have to go back to form in the face of the danger of being chased and slashed by the enemy, reload the ammunition and continue to fight. They kill the most enemies, and their self-defense is not as good as the firecrackers. The best units must have enough courage and excellent and skilled combat skills.

The change of the infantry regiment's military system set the tone, and Ma Sanbiao, the commander of the cavalry, also expressed his thoughts:

"My lords, everyone, our cavalry fights against the Tartars on the grasslands. One-on-one is far inferior to the Tartars' cavalry. We can fight in formations, but we don't suffer much. The cavalry wears iron armor, and the horses are covered with felt. Charged next to the formation, but the Tartars were directly dispersed, and the soldiers from Jizhen and Xuanfu hadn't come over at that time, they were still in chaos!"

Seeing everyone's fascination, Ma Sanbiao said again:

"The cavalry of the Huwei Army is not good at all. Except for dozens of equestrians who are good at equestrianism, the rest of them have only cultivated their skills in the cavalry. They are not comparable to those who have been riding horses for generations in the frontier army, let alone those who grow on horseback on the grassland. Tartar, but we also have advantages. Others don’t have our iron armor, nor are we as rich. The subordinates thought, let’s work hard on this armored cavalry. People wear iron armor, horses wear leather pockets, and we are not afraid of him. Bows and arrows, rush all the way to the front and crash in!"

"Practice two hundred rides first!"

To this proposal, Wang Tong immediately replied, what Ma Sanbiao said was the way of heavy cavalry, it would indeed be very useful, you can try it.

"I remember it was said in the martial arts hall that this seems to be the way Zong Bi kidnapped a horse during the war between Song and Jin Dynasties."

Next, Sun Xin murmured, everyone nodded, and Mu En stood beside him, seeing everyone thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said loudly:
"My lord, this subordinate also has something to say!"

Compared with these people in the house, Mu En has no qualifications, and now he is only a hundred households, so he is naturally respectful, Wang Tong nodded, and Mu En said:
"My lord, for this battle, the cannon is the most powerful, but it can be reloaded slowly. It didn't do enough damage to the Tartars. Instead, it was shot a few times, which did a lot of damage. My subordinates thought, can you ask the workshop to cast short cannons, specially loaded with shotguns, and wait The enemy army rushes in and fires, although it is inconvenient to load, but the damage is equivalent to a volley of firecrackers."

After pondering for a while, Wang Tong said in a deep voice:

"That's right. Let's place tiger squatting cannons on the outside of the car camp and bombard them with iron sand. This is the same reason. General Tan, you, Tan Huo and Mu En, go to the sub-craftsman's workshop and talk about this request. It should not be difficult to cast in a craftsman's workshop."

Tan Jiang, who was standing by the side, quickly nodded in response. Speaking of artillery, Wang Tong said again:
"Zhang Wu, the artillery general banner that day, was usually very honest and friendly, but he couldn't see that he was so fierce!"

On the battlefield, Zhang Wu, the general banner of the artillery team, was so red-eyed that he dared to fire the cannon when the Tartars had already rushed to the artillery formation. Those few rounds not only caused great damage, but also had a great effect on stabilizing the situation.

Tan Huo below said with a smile:

"I don't know, my lord. Zhang Wu is usually honest and honest. When he smells gunpowder smoke, his eyes turn red. It's like he's crazy. He's a good fighter on the battlefield!"

Wang Tong nodded and said:
"This man has made great achievements and has such courage. Let him set up a team of shotguns!!"

Tan Huo and Mu En got up to take orders, Wang Tong walked a few steps in the room, and listened to the order in front of the table:
"Cai Jianjun, the recruitment and selection of new recruits this time will be divided into two groups. One group will be selected from the security forces, and the other group will be the children of artisans and young adults from our Tianjin Weijiang workshop. Naturally, those with skills will not be required, but Those who are only there as servants and can't learn any skills can be called to serve as soldiers!"

Cai Nan got up and agreed. There are many young and strong servants in the official and private workshops. Some of them help apprentices there, and they can learn a craft and become craftsmen, but some people work there to earn a living.

The former should be reserved for the craftsmen, but the latter will be supplemented at any time. The young and strong with farming background have a weak sense of collective and discipline. , There are restrictions on apprentices and helpers, there is labor discipline, and there is a collective concept.

Such young men are the best source of soldiers when they are added to the army, and they can become qualified soldiers faster than young men from peasant households.

One thing was explained, and one pile of suggestions was put forward. In the barracks next to the martial arts field, everyone was discussing very enthusiastically. Cai Nan on the side was there quickly recording that what was said today must be done as soon as possible.

At the end, Wang Tong scanned the list of records and said:
"Everyone has worked hard, and it's another new year. Tianjin Wei and Huwei Army need you to work hard!!"

Everyone stood up, clasped their fists together and bowed and said:
"I am willing to serve my lord, work diligently, and dare not slack off!"

These are all stylized responses. After finishing this sentence, it is time to disperse for dinner and rest. Wang Tong said in a solemn voice:
"The day after tomorrow there will be a memorial ceremony for the martyrs who died in battle, everyone, please remember!"

The crowd was in awe.

***********
"...The martyr's pension is 150 taels of silver, and the family provides 15 taels of silver every year. The parents and family members of the martyr are exempted from taxation and corvee for life. The children of relatives are given priority in being employed as errands in the Tianjin Wei army. The sign of 'Martyrs of the Ming Dynasty' is hung at the home. In case of trouble, the Huwei Army will preside over justice. Hereby Announcement..."

The soldiers with loud voices read aloud on the wooden platform, and the battalions of the Huwei army stood in silence below, while the martyrs of the children who died at home wailed heart-rendingly below.

Everyone present looked sad and solemn. After the person above finished reading the treatment of martyrs and family members, he handed it over to the people below, and walked off the stage with the stamped notice, and went to the martyrs for them to watch.

At this point, no one is still in the mood to read this notice, but it is a procedure to make it public once again. Everyone has great confidence in the credibility of Wang Tong and Hu Weijun, and there will be no doubts.

"...If a disabled person is unable to work, the person and his family will be supported by the Tiger's Prestige Army for the rest of his life. He will be a soldier of the Tiger's Prestige Army for life, and his family members will be members of the Tiger's Prestige Army for life. , as well as disability subsidies, keeping warm and full without worry..."

The families of seriously wounded soldiers are even more troublesome than the families of the war dead. The family members who are unable to work are a burden.

Unlike those martyrs who were heart-piercing and howling, the families of the disabled soldiers were stunned when they heard what was said here. They all knelt down and kowtowed to thank them. What Wang Tong did was a great merit.

This kind of ceremony costs a lot, and the subsidy for martyrs and disabled soldiers will also be a big expense in the future, but Wang Tong knows that it is worth it, and he must do it, so that the soldiers of the Huwei Army know that they don’t have to worry about their families even if they are killed or injured in battle. , This is also a certain degree of peace of mind, which can make one's soldiers more loyal and move forward bravely on the battlefield.

After talking about the benefits one by one, Wang Tong walked up to the stage, and the surroundings were quiet. Wang Tong glanced around and said loudly:

"To die for the Ming Dynasty, to die for the country and country of the Ming Dynasty, they died with honor, I will remember them, the Tiger's Mighty Army will remember them, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will remember them!!"

After Wang Tong finished speaking, the school ground was silent. After a while, the crying sounded again. I don't know who took the lead, and the soldiers shouted one after another:

"Tiger Might is undefeated, fight for Ming!!!"

Sixteen cowhide drums beat rhythmically. From the east side of the school yard, every six soldiers entered the venue carrying a coffin, and each coffin was covered with a banner of the Huwei Army.

Wang Tong suddenly stood at attention on the wooden platform, with his right fist across his chest, the whole army saluted in unison, and the audience was solemn...
