"Qi Jiajun's training mainly uses formations. This kind of training is very effective in improving the cohesion and obedience of the army!" Sun Chuanting affirmed Gu Heng's use of Qi Jiajun's training model.

This made Gu Heng even more confident! The reason why Gu Heng did not use the modern military training model was because there were still only a few literate scholars in the late Ming Dynasty, and there were not so many powerful weapons.

Gu Heng believed that the training model of Qi Jiajun was more suitable for the late Ming Dynasty, and then based on the actual situation, he would refer to the modern army training model.

Now Sun Chuanting, who is familiar with military affairs, directly supports it, and Hong Chengchou has no objection, so this new army should not be too bad after it is trained.

So Gu Heng continued: "We can also establish a staff department at the Royal Military Academy to train specialized command talents down to the grassroots level of the army. Such an army will be better able to win wars."

"This method is not bad. But how can there be so many people who are literate, capable of fighting and willing to fight to come to the Royal Military Academy for training?" Sun Chuanting asked doubtfully.

"This depends on your Majesty! Your Majesty can write an imperial edict to inform the world: analyze the world situation, encourage the world to worry about the Ming Dynasty, and hope that scholars who are loyal to the emperor and serve the country will abandon their pens and join the army, come to the Royal Military Academy to receive training, and become the emperor's disciples."

"Secondly, tell these scholars that all admitted scholars will receive five taels of silver per month during training, and the Royal Military Academy will be responsible for all food and accommodation during the training period."

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he said: "Princess, this is a good idea. Those scholars whose families are wealthy but who are loyal to the emperor and willing to serve the Ming Dynasty will sign up, and those students from poor families will also sign up. After all, the monthly salary is already five times that of a normal soldier."

Already."

Chongzhen also said: "This method is indeed good, just like my sworn sister! How should ordinary soldiers be trained?"

"As for ordinary soldiers, I think the Royal Military Academy still needs to train technical soldiers and demonstration soldiers." Gu Heng replied.

"What do these soldiers do?" Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou looked at each other and asked at the same time.

"Technical soldiers, Master Hong has actually seen them before, they are soldiers who can master the use of various new weapons proficiently."

"Having said this, I sincerely request your Majesty to approve my "Industrial Villa" to continue to invent and manufacture various new weapons. I also acknowledge that the Industrial Villa is a new department of the imperial court that manufactures weapons, but it is independent of the six ministries and directly takes orders from your Majesty and your Majesty.

Sister. At the same time, the Industrial Villa is allowed to recruit military craftsmen."

The reason why Gu Heng requested this was because he first wanted to legalize the Industrial Villa so that Bo Jue and others in the Industrial Villa could get an official position in the imperial court. This was still a good idea for those scholars who still wanted to honor their ancestors by becoming officials.

Will be very happy.

Secondly, if military craftsmen can be recruited openly, some military craftsmen still have very good skills in manufacturing weapons, which can also improve the overall level of the industrial village.

After hearing Gu Heng's words, Chongzhen was a little confused and said, "Why would my sworn sister do this? Isn't there an Ordnance Bureau and a Warfare Bureau for manufacturing weapons?"

"Your Majesty, the Ordnance Bureau and the Military Warfare Bureau can continue to manufacture the firearms they were familiar with in the past, and the people in my industrial village can produce more and newer powerful weapons, and the management system is also consistent with the Imperial Court's Ordnance Bureau and Warfare Bureau.

different."

"Furthermore, if Your Majesty were to reform the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau, it would probably be very difficult due to the various interests involved. It would be better to create a new department to meet the needs of manufacturing powerful weapons."

After hearing what Gu Heng said, Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I agree with the princess's idea. The weapons manufactured by the princess's Industrial Villa are indeed powerful. The Battle of Songjin is proof. If the weapons of the Industrial Villa are provided for the military use of the court, our Ming army will be even more powerful."

Invincible!"

Seeing that Hong Chengchou also agreed with Gu Heng's idea, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Okay, I will agree to this request of my sworn sister. But what is the demonstration soldier that my sworn sister said?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, so that I can implement a system of pay-per-piece, standardized assembly line production and individual responsibilities in the Industrial Villa. Once there is a quality problem with weapons and equipment, everyone from the supervisor to the quality inspector to the craftsman himself will be involved. Weapons

The confidentiality aspect will be better."

"As for the demonstration soldiers, the Royal Military Academy recruits students from all over the world. Some of them are trained according to the model of the new army of the Emperor's Guards. Soldiers who perform very well in all aspects will be displayed in front of the new recruits. These demonstration soldiers will be

Once you get out, you can serve as a squad leader in the newly built army."

After listening to Gu Heng's words, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but said: "If I remember correctly, according to the new army plan and model you told us before, princess, there are 10-12 people in a squad, and the squad leader is an ordinary soldier. That's it.

A model soldier?"

"Yes, Mr. Sun understood it correctly." Gu Heng replied.

"Princess's new army organization is quite good. The youngest commander is the platoon leader. A platoon manages three squads, 30-40 people. Then there are three platoons in a company, 90-120 people, and three in a battalion.

Company 270-400 people.”

“A regiment with three battalions can have 900-1,000 men, a brigade with three regiments can have 3,000-4,000 men, a division with three brigades can have 10,000-12,000 men, and a corps with three divisions can have 30,000-35,000 men.

"

"The commander has jurisdiction over hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, and is actually equivalent to a general. The organization of this kind of army is not fixed, and the scale can be large or small. It can be based on the nature of the army, its campaign mission, the tasks it undertakes, the geographical environment of the war zone and the

It depends on the enemy’s army formation and other conditions. It’s really good.”

Hong Chengchou analyzed the new army plan while recalling what Gu Heng had said before. His analysis was agreed by both Emperor Chongzhen and Sun Chuanting.

After being affirmed by everyone, Gu Heng continued: "I plan to establish a brigade-level combat force training corps with students from the Royal Military Academy to form an initial combat effectiveness."

"Then when the first batch of trainees graduates, they will be used as officers to train new armies in various places, thereby establishing a truly powerful new army of the Emperor's Guards."

"As for the navy, I would like to recommend that my guard Shi Lang first go to the Royal Military Academy as an instructor to teach a group of people how to do naval warfare, and then let him and some well-trained people go to Qiongzhou Prefecture to form a navy."

After Gu Heng finished speaking, both Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting said that this method was feasible and worth a try, but Sun Chuanting also suggested: "Princess, you still need to pay attention when recruiting ordinary recruits. Different soldiers have different characteristics!"

"Thank you, Mr. Sun, for the reminder. Just like General Qi Jiguang and Qi recruited new soldiers in the past, they must be farmers who can endure hardship and have physical strength. The most important thing is to obey the management. They must also be dark, thick, muscular, and have bright eyes, because bright eyes indicate a person.

She is in good spirits."

"You can also want people who are afraid of the government and obey the management. Such people can easily be molded into elite soldiers. But we don't want people from the city who have seen the world. Such people are not very obedient to the orders of their superiors."

"Those who have served in the government are already very familiar with the Ming Dynasty's government. They can't use it even if they are full of soldiers. People over 40 years old don't want it. People with fair skin don't want it. Older people don't have enough physical strength because they have fair skin.

People generally work very little and find it difficult to endure hardship.”

"In addition, those who are particularly courageous should not be particularly courageous; those who are particularly courageous can easily go to extremes and disrupt the morale of the army."

"There are also different characteristics of soldiers in different places. For example, the Yiwu soldiers in the Qi family army fight bravely and are not afraid of death, while the Chuzhou soldiers like to talk about conditions before fighting. When the chance of winning the battle is high, they will fight hard. If they don't win, they will fight hard.

Hopefully, we will try to retreat."

"When there is no danger, the Shaoxing soldiers will do whatever they want. They will not ask for conditions like the Chuzhou soldiers, and they will do all kinds of dirty work even if they are tired. But when they go to the battlefield, they will chase the enemy even if they escape.

When the enemy comes after them, they flee."

After Gu Heng finished speaking, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou both nodded in praise. Emperor Chongzhen praised: "I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is so proficient in military affairs! I didn't choose the wrong person! I believe you can train the new army well!"

Gu Hengze sighed in his heart: This is all thanks to the fact that he liked to read the stories of Qi Jiajun in modern times, otherwise he would not know so much.

But now that Sun Chuanting and Emperor Chongzhen can rest assured that they can establish military academy training and a new army, and Emperor Chongzhen supports him in doing business to make money, it is still worth it!
