The first general in the Ming Dynasty to pay attention to firearms can be traced back to Mu Ying of the Taizu Dynasty. His contribution was not only to invent the low-content tactic of three-stage shooting, but to concentrate on the use of firearms to make up for the defects of the musket surname with high density. The establishment of the Shenji Camp during the Chengzu period set up a precedent for the use of firearms in the large army.

During the Jiajing Dynasty, various Western firearms were introduced to China. The domestic scholars and officials did not reject it. Instead, they fully studied and copied it, which finally made the missionaries admired with conscientiousness: This copycat is much better than the original ones.

Qi Jiguang, a generation of military god, also said that firearms will surely prosper the world. When Li Rusong quelled the Japanese turmoil in Korea, he even used three-eyed guns, Francs, and red barbarian cannons to blew the horn of the gunpowder war.

Even if Zhu Cilang was a native of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he had some knowledge, he would know the important surname of firearms. Since its establishment, the Eastern Palace Guard Camp established a firearms bureau, hoping to find a tactical route to centrally use firearms. However, technical defects made this idea impossible to implement.

First of all, the bird gun has complicated work and long training time. The gun safety is poor. When encountering strong winds and light rain, it cannot be used. Secondly, once you fight in close combat, the musketman must withdraw from the battle in time, otherwise it will be one-sided torture.

If there is one to two years of safe development, Zhu Cixuan believes that he can overcome these problems, at least he will not make the firearm less powerful than the Qi family army. However, what he lacks most now is time. In order to save time, maximize the advantage of the East Palace defense, and concentrate on melee combat, the benefits obtained are the greatest.

However, today's battle also made Zhu Cixuan clearly see the disadvantages of the Eastern Palace in long-range strikes and mobile names. Moreover, the lethality of the Manchu cavalry to the infantry also made Zhu Cixuan feel a sense of crisis for the replenishment of soldiers.

"In this way, the main force will still be supplemented by the same battalion." Zhu Cixuan finally gritted his teeth and said: "Non-main force can choose those who pass the assessment from the auxiliary force to the combat soldiers, but they can only enjoy 80% of the combat soldiers' treatment, and they can only become regular after completing all the new recruits' assessments."

Each battalion is relatively relaxed in recruiting auxiliary soldiers. Excellent civil servants stay in the teaching team for twenty days and master various basic military orders can be converted into auxiliary soldiers. This has already been considered a big hole.

"Your Highness, Luxi should also set up a reserve battalion to facilitate the replenishment of soldiers nearby." Li Changling said.

"The General Staff communicates with Min Zhanlian to see if he can split his manpower." Zhu Cixuan said: "The training of the local gangsters must be regular and fixed. In addition, they must implement voluntary measures to avoid the people saying that we were exempted from labor service in the past, and now we have made a clever name to arrest the people."

"If they really want to arrest Ding, they can catch them even if they are not a local hero." Li Changling said: "It's not that all fools understand this principle, but they are afraid that someone will fan the flames in the dark."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said in his heart: I'm not afraid of this.

Although the Eastern Palace restored the Three Elders system of Taizu on the surface, it was actually resurrected by corpses.

Emperor Taizu Gao established the three elders, one was to follow the old system of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the other was to avoid county officials going to the countryside and harming the countryside. Although this idea of ​​"imperial power does not go to the countryside" was able to rest with the people during the recovery period and villagers were independent and self-governed, it also led to the decline of the state's mobilization ability and the loss of control of resources.

Now the three elders appointed by the government are already considered the most grassroots political organization. Whether anyone realizes that the three elders in each village, the village elders and the farmers always report to the county government office and receive instructions. The instructor is directly ordered by the county magistrate, which belongs to the line of the Ministry of War. Combining these three things, it is precisely the imperial power that brought into the countryside.

As for the rejection of outsiders by the large clans in the villages, the urgent surnames of each county to demolish villages and merge villages, and quickly broke the cornerstone of the patriarchal society. If you want to blow out evil wind from the grassroots level, you can be said to be hit by the knife.

...

"Run! Run! Run!" The instructor waved the willow whip and made a loud bang in the air.

Zhang Ergou ran away as if he was panting, wishing he could lie on the ground and die. However, whenever he was slowing down and wanted to take a breath, the instructor's whip could always hit him as soon as possible. The willow whip was whipped with a red mark, which hurt like a needle, but it would not damage the person. He could not find an excuse to be lazy.

Wang Yi had already caught Zhang Ergou for a while. When he ran behind Zhang Ergou, he reached out and pushed Zhang Ergou's back: "One, two, three, exhale; one, two, three, suck."

Zhang Ergou swallowed uncontrolled saliva and tried hard to mobilize his breathing rhythm. Finally, with Wang Yi's help, he rushed over and his steps became steady again.

Bang!

The whip hit Wang Yi, and the instructor shouted: "Run! This is physical training! You don't need to help your comrades!"

Zhang Ergou glanced at the table in the middle of the running field with resentment. There was still a half of the hourglass on it to leak out. Run as much as possible during the specified time, record the length of each run. Progressives will be rewarded, and those who regress will have to practice more. This is the long-distance running training that people hate.

When the hourglass finally leaked, everyone untied their belts and threw them on the ground, indicating their distance.

"Get up! Get around!" The instructor waved the willow whip and drove the recruits who had just finished running to recover. The instructor on the side quickly stepped forward, flipped over the belt, and recorded the number of feet running for each person according to the number above.

"I can't do it anymore, I'm going to die..." Zhang Ergou leaned against Wang Yi's shoulder, his face covered with tears and snot. He cried, "I want to go home, I won't join the army."

"I have to pay 50 taels of silver to go back now. What's your family going to accompany you?" Wang Yi quickly adjusted his breathing and seemed at ease. He was still a little lucky when he saw the stupid big man in front of him running as tired as a dog.

When he had just taken the recruit flag team, no one knew that someone had recorded data secretly and ran very freely. People who like to show off like a silly man who wanted to be the sergeant and even the captain rushed forward desperately. Wang Yi happened to have diarrhea in those days because he couldn't get used to the fishy gas and diarrhea, and his performance was extremely poor. When the teaching team collected enough data and started playing the "reward, punishment and retreat", all the people who ran away at the beginning cried.

"I can't leave when I really go to the battle camp," Ergou gasped heavily, "I dared to retreat and behead him... I was wrong, Fuchen, Brother Yi, let's go."

"If you can't afford to pay the money, you can only go to the hard labor camp. That's even harder than here." Wang Yi pulled Ergou a few steps, letting him recover, and said, "I dare not go. Besides, you'd rather lead me here. What should I do if you leave?"

Ergou was about to speak, but he couldn't help but churning inside his abdomen, so he ran to the side of the road to vomit water.

Wang Yi shook his head helplessly and thought that the two dogs were a little too careless.

Soon, the instructor looked at the physical performance and blew the whistle. Those slow-moving people, such as Zhang Ergou, were beaten again, and their bodies were sore.

After the instructor announced the list of fines and runs, he reported the person who met the reward standards. After reading the name "Wang Yi", the instructor said: "Wang Yi deliberately preserved his physical strength and did not run away without having enough energy, and the reward would be eliminated!"

The reward is two very affordable egg tickets, each ticket can receive a boiled egg. This even became a hard currency in the preparation camp, and the recruits also used it as a bargaining chip when they rested.

Zhang Ergou lowered his head, feeling that he had made Wang Yi suffer.

However, Wang Yi stood up straight without any resentment.

The instructor looked at Wang Yi with satisfaction and announced: "The first phase of acceptance and assessment will begin the day after tomorrow. Those who pass the assessment will enter the second phase of training. Those who fail the assessment can only be sent to each battalion to become auxiliary soldiers. I don't need to say more about what auxiliary soldiers are, right? Those who are poor in physical fitness should hurry up and make up for it. Otherwise, study hard and get a high degree and transfer to the staff team." The instructor said, and glanced at the guys hanging their tails in the team, naturally Zhang Ergou.

Zhang Ergou suddenly felt as if he was beaten by frost.

What are the auxiliary soldiers? I heard that they got up earlier than chickens, slept later than dogs, ate worse than pigs, and worked harder than cows, and received only half of the salary of the war soldiers. After entering the auxiliary soldiers, the family's land tax could only be exempted from 30% and 20% less than the war soldiers. Also injured, the medical team had the unspoken rules to rescue the war soldiers first. Fortunately, the pension silver was the same after the death of the battle, but I would definitely not be able to use it at that time.

"I don't want to go to the auxiliary barracks..." Zhang Ergou cried.
Chapter completed!
