Zhao Bing knew that the new army equipped with firearms could not defeat the army that used cold weapons. There are many such cases, but it is also true that the extremely advantage of hot weapons will eventually replace cold weapons. But there is also a premise, either a musket or a warrior. It is difficult for an army without strict training to win even if they are given an atomic bomb.

It is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. Therefore, such people must be formed into a force that can be shot in a queue, requiring soldiers to be arranged in neat rows under the rain of bullets in the green forest. No counterattack is allowed without the commander's order, and only volleys are launched under the command of the commander. This inhumane requirement is by no means a few slogans, a few preachings, or even money can change people's nature.

If you want to require all soldiers to fully obey combat commands and to maximize the courage and discipline of soldiers in the war mode, you must have strict discipline, so that the movements of the queue must be uniform and consistent. A neat queue can also make the commander clear at a glance. Whoever is afraid of fighting or wants to escape? Once such signs appear, battlefield discipline will be implemented immediately to stop the wavering of the array. Because if a few soldiers, even some people, retreat or escape in the face of the enemy's muzzle, there will be a group effect, shake the array, and even trigger the collapse of the entire array.

However, if soldiers are afraid of military discipline, they are more afraid of death and enemies. The cultivation of strict discipline depends on formal education and long-term training. In order to achieve uniform results, the troops are required to conduct hard training and implement strict discipline. The training method of obeying orders is penetrated into all levels and details of daily life, such as eating, sleeping, dressing, etiquette, walking, etc., are included in the examination scope. If they violate it, they will be punished by sticks and other corporal punishment.

Today, many people think that the queue training during military training has no practical significance, but in the era of flintlock, it was trained completely from the perspective of practical combat, and neatness is the combat effectiveness. The earliest source of some of our current queue training and some military living habits is also this. It is difficult for modern people to understand, such as folding quilts into tofu blocks, and queue training, they believe that these have no effect on combat effectiveness and are doing useless work.

However, these seemingly useless details are the main factors that determine the combat effectiveness of the army. The purpose is to force soldiers to regard obeying orders as an instinct under such long-term high pressure. Even when facing bullets and their partners are hit and fall down one by one, you must strictly abide by the commander's orders, keep the queue, and be able to load and shoot quickly to face death - move forward slowly.

This kind of exercise from standing attentively, resting, walking in unison, turning left to right, to holding a gun and shooting, the soldiers repeatedly practiced until they reached a uniform effect of a hundred people and a thousand people. It mainly requires the soldiers to advance in a row and shoot in a coordinated manner. Because horizontal combat does not require you to have any combat skills, but requires you to be able to strictly abide by discipline. This strict discipline also takes a lot of time. A basically qualified soldier needs at least half a year of training, and an elite veteran needs at least three to five years of cultivation.

"Liu Ling, who will be the first to take the imperial court today?" Zhao Bing said with a frown after reading the draft of the military law compiled by the Third Room.

"The official family is the two chief officials, Cai Ruoshui and Chen Shishi!" Liu Ling thought for a moment and asked.

"Go and invite them over!" Zhao Bing nodded.

"The official family is already in the hour of the year. Let's take a break early. I will accompany the queen mother to burn incense tomorrow!" Su Lan looked at the mouth and said.

"Yes, it will take more than half a day to accompany the Empress Dowager to burn incense, eat vegetarian food, and listen to the scriptures tomorrow. But I won't explain it tonight, and I will delay another one day tomorrow. Go and call!" Zhao Bing stretched and said with a wry smile.

Su Lan did not persuade him again, but sighed softly, took a jacket and put it on His Majesty, changed the candle, and turned on the lamp. He added some silver charcoal to the tea stove, scooped up new water to prepare tea, and took a look at the little emperor. He began to draw on the textbook again, adding comments from time to time. His original chubby little face had obviously become thinner, revealing his pointed chin, his eyes were red, and he yawned from time to time, which made people feel distressed.

"See Your Majesty!" Not long after, Cai Ruoshui and Chen Shishi arrived and bowed to His Majesty.

"Sit!" Zhao Bing didn't raise his head and let them sit down opposite the book, and pushed the revised document to Cai Ruoshuidao, "Junping, this military law chapter is generally OK, but the internal affairs regulations are not detailed enough, and they still need to be refined."

"Your Majesty, it's really difficult for me to go further. Please give me a hint." Cai Ruoshui bowed and smiled bitterly. He had been revising the new military law chapter he presided over and revised by His Majesty three times, but His Majesty was still not satisfied and repeatedly asked for refinement. He felt that he was unable to do it.

"Junping, we have been in charge of the army three times since we formed an army. You have participated as a senator. You should know the importance of military discipline and go deep into all aspects to develop the habit of being instinctively obeying when you hear orders during war!" Zhao Bing looked up at his words.

"Your Majesty said it is right, but my subordinates have already finished all the troops. I really can't think of any omissions." Cai Ruoshui said in embarrassment.

"Do you still remember when our army was started?" Zhao Bing put down his pen and looked at Cai Ruoshui and asked.

"This starts with the implementation of the iron law of the General Administration!" Cai Ruoshui replied immediately.

"No!" Zhao Bing shook his head and said.

"Oh, by the way! It is strictly forbidden to start urinating or defecation everywhere." Cai Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, then replied after thinking for a moment.

"So what's the effect?" Zhao Bing asked again with a smile.

"At that time, the General Administration had just been established, with a large number of personnel and each had its own ways of coming from, and people often violated the ban. Since Your Majesty issued this order and severely punished those who violated the violation, no incidents of drowning in the entire mansion have happened everywhere, and even now the old subordinates of the General Administration have strictly abide by this order. And since then, all the General Administration has issued laws and regulations, making the government orders accessible!" Cai Ruoshui replied.

"Yes, at that time, some people said that I was too polite and had to set rules when I shit and fart. It was really troublesome and I had a lot of complaints!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"At that time, the people in the mansion could not understand the profound meaning of Your Majesty. Now they all admire Your Majesty's wisdom!" Cai Ruoshui said with a blushing face.

"Your Majesty said that this regulation is not detailed enough. Does it mean that it cannot involve the subtleties of military soldiers, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation?" Chen Shishi interrupted at this time.

"Yes, food, clothing, housing, transportation, sitting, lying and standing seem to be trivial matters, but to make the military generals strictly observe military discipline, they have to start with these inconspicuous and small things, gradually develop the habit of obeying the orders of superiors unconditionally, and dare not retreat even if they have no orders!" Zhao Bing said.

"Well, I have made strict regulations on standing, squatting, steps and distances to walk, etc., I think this is the same!" Chen Shishi said suddenly.

"Minwu is only half right. If thousands of troops on the battlefield are in a coordinated manner, if they want to be in a consistent manner, they must train them rigorously, so that they can fly across the arrows, and change formations in the conflict between enemy cavalry, so that they will not be confused, and they can do the same whether they attack or retreat. These all require daily development, but they cannot be achieved overnight." Zhao Bing said.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are dull, but they still don't understand the mystery!" Chen Shishi said in a daze after hearing this.

"Okay, you guys read it!" Zhao Bing pointed to his own book and said, "Su Lan will arrange the submitted official documents in order of urgent matters, government affairs, military affairs and intelligence every day. I can get it with just one hand. Looking at this tea cup, it will also be placed in a fixed position. Even if I don't read it, I will get it, but I won't flip the cup. This is the habit I have developed!"

"Similarly, if soldiers in the army place their clothes, boots, shoes, and weapons in a fixed position before going to bed every day, and develop the habit, regardless of whether the light is turned on, they can accurately touch their clothes, get their weapons, and quickly gather without causing chaos."

"Oh, I understand. The boat is narrow and the space is cramped. Those sailors can still come and go freely in the wind and waves. The gunners can accurately run and enter the combat state. That's the reason!" Cai Ruoshui said.

"For example, in the regulations, I stipulate that soldiers have a fixed posture when sitting and lying down. Not just for the sake of good looks, the army is in line with weapons. If one person steps in the wrong way, he may fall, which will cause chaos, or even accidentally injured, which will affect the entire formation!" Zhao Bing further explained his intentions.

"This is the reason why Your Majesty stipulates in the military law that if someone in the warship looks around and walks scattered, the soldiers behind him can stab him to death on the spot!" Chen Shishi nodded with some understanding.

"Minwu understands it well. This is exactly the reason why I ask the soldiers to take three people in a row even if they walk on weekdays and walk on weekdays. If they are restrained on weekdays, it is much less expensive than being stabbed to death by their companions during wartime!" Zhao Bing saw that they finally got enlightened and said with some approval.

"It is precisely in order to avoid unnecessary casualties during wartime that Your Majesty stipulates that the soldiers should always remember the military law. It seems harsh, but in fact it is a great act!" Cai Ruoshuishen thought it was authentic.

"Of course, the provisions of these regulations are not complete, and some places are even unreasonable. Therefore, we must leave room for military law when formulating military law and continuously improve and improve it in trial implementation to apply to various military groups. The punishment measures must also be further refined to seek justice and fear the law, so that they can understand why they are punished!" Zhao Bing said.

"Does Your Majesty want to use this method as well as the cavalry? The cavalry is the most difficult to control during the chaos, and it is really difficult for them to do!" Cai Ruoshui said in surprise after hearing this.

"Of course, after this method is improved, it will be gradually promoted to the entire army, not just the cavalry." Zhao Bing said, "Relatively speaking, the cavalry is more powerful than the infantry. The cavalry of the Tatars is unparalleled in the world and wins every battle. It is precisely because they have high morale and strict military discipline. If we want to defeat them, we need to have stricter military discipline and stricter battle formations than them."

Zhao Bing knew very well that it would be difficult to defeat the Mongols by relying solely on the infantry and the navy. They could not defeat the Mongols by riding and shooting, and they could run away if they could win. The infantry could not catch up with them with just two legs and could not escape. Therefore, once the battlefield was transferred to the land, they were still at a disadvantage. If they wanted to compete with the enemy on the mainland, they had to establish a cavalry that could compete with them. But he knew that this was very difficult. After all, the Mongols were a horse-stop nation and lived on horseback since childhood. They had innate advantages over the farming nation. It was almost impossible to defeat them in a single soldier.

However, the Mongols were eventually expelled from the Central Plains by Zhu Yuanzhang. In addition to being equipped with a large number of firearms, their political corruption and the incompetence of the king were also important factors. However, Zhao Bing knew that he could not wait until he was a hundred years old to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, so he could only think of another way. He learned from the experience of the "descendants" to achieve the goal of pulling the Mongols under the horse.

In the past life, people always mentioned whether modern firearms could defeat cavalry in the late Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Alliance equipped with flintlock guns and artillery battle between the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Mongolian cavalry equipped with flintlock guns and artillery and the Mongolian cavalry still equipped with cold weapons. Regardless of the detailed combat process, the Qing army only lost about a thousand people at the beginning of the Battle of Baliqiao, which was not high compared to the total strength of more than 30,000. However, after the attack on this, the Mongolian cavalry did not recover and regained combat power, but immediately scattered birds and beasts and abandoned most of the wounded.

However, in a battle during Napoleon's expedition to Russia, the French cavalry was exposed to Russian artillery fire for more than three hours due to the delay of the offensive plan. The shells were torn apart in the cavalry front, and some troops had lost more than half of the damage before they attacked. However, the French army remained motionless. Angry chief sergeant demanded to charge or retreat, and was severely scolded by the officers. These two battles showed that the world of difference in discipline and morale was the real place for European cavalry's combat effectiveness compared to traditional cavalry.

However, the British who fought with traditional cavalry in Eurasia and even African countries also admitted that even if European cavalry had scientific training, they could only draw with oriental cavalry who were skilled in their own hands, and even more often they would lose their temper. They would only show overwhelming advantages when fighting in groups. In later generations, there was a popular view that modern European cavalry defeated relatively loose traditional cavalry by relying on dense "wall charge" tactics.
