Chapter 67 Qi Jin's Military Training

"I'm angry and rushing to the crown, lean on the railing! The rain stops..."

On the morning of October 14, the military songs of thousands of people sounded loudly, and the wind and snow stopped on that day.

Tens of thousands of people are training on the Yanshan Daying School.

On the high platform of the school ground, Qi Jin and Zhu Youjian sat in high positions, while the three guards of Yulin and the left guard of Tengxiang under the field were trained under the guidance of Zhejiang soldiers.

Four thousand people train 11,000 people, and the speed is very fast.

However, in three days, the Three Guards of Yulin and the Left Guard of Tengxiang have already begun to appear. Compared to three days ago, there is no such thing as one in the sky or the other underground, but it has also changed greatly.

The Ming army, which had more than 15,000 people, all replaced the brand new Yuanyang War Wo. In order to adapt to the weather in Liaodong in advance, the Zhejiang soldiers wore cotton armor, chain mail, cloth armor and arm armor inside.

.

Compared with Zhejiang soldiers, the three guards of Yulin and the left guard of Tengxiang are different.

As an imperial guard, the three guards of the Yulin looked very majestic, wearing fish scale armor, arm armor with both hands, and phoenix winged helmets on their heads.

In order to make the army uniform, Zhu Youjian asked Tengxiang left guard to wear fish scale armor.

Wearing a cotton coat inside, fish scale armor on the outside, holding a spear in his hand, a golden gourd hammer, looks very frightening, but the weight is also equal.

Nearly forty kilograms of equipment were worn on people, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Not only did they move slowly, they started to pant after running hundreds of meters. It was really hard for these "new recruits".

Zhu Youjian originally wanted to ask Tengxiang Left Guard to change his armor. After all, his armor was thick and he was a real heavy installation.

But after thinking about it, he still felt that it was unnecessary.

Just because of the physical strength of these new recruits, they can't move even if they wear armor, so it's better to wear lighter fish scale armor first.

After entering the battlefield, he replaced the fish scale armor with a triple armor of chain mail, cotton armor and cloth armor.

If Zhu Youjian remembers correctly, Nurhaci's white armored Balaya is an elite boy with a locket inside, a chain mail in the middle, a cloth armor coat, and a 70-pound armor.

In Zhu Youjian's idea, he could not require everyone to wear 70 kilograms of armor, but at least 60 kilograms are required.

In addition, according to time, Mangui should arrive at Yanshan Camp tomorrow, but he would probably be a little stunned when he arrived.

At present, there are only more than 4,000 Imperial Horse Supervisors, and all of them were assigned to the Tengxiang Left Guard by Zhu Youjian to Sun Yingyuan. There are no soldiers belonging to Man Gui.

However, Zhu Youjian was not worried. As long as he made a list, there would be a continuous stream of people coming to join the army.

Fifteen taels a year, this military pay can be said to be three taels of silver higher than the border army. However, ordinary farmers in the Ming Dynasty had three acres of land. After paying taxes for one year, they only earn less than four taels of silver.

Not to mention that there are three acres of land, they are already considered rich peasants.

The Ming Dynasty was more of a poor person who was exploited by gentry, small and medium-sized landlords, as well as vassal kings and only tenants.

Such military pay, as long as you work for one year, is equivalent to being a tenant for ten years. As long as you leave the word, some people want to be a tenant.

"Your Highness, then Sun Yingyuan is a powerful general."

Just as Zhu Youjian was thinking, Qi Jin suddenly praised Sun Yingyuan. When Zhu Youjian looked at him, he saw Sun Yingyuan wearing mountain armor patrolling with a big gun.

"How can I tell?" Zhu Youjian didn't see any name and asked curiously.

"This man is very tall and powerful. Your Highness carefully looked at it. His armor was bloated, which means that there was a heap among the mountain armor." Qi Jin explained:

"He wore two armors, but he trained with the army for two hours and never sat down."

"If you don't say anything else, just relying on this endurance is enough to be a pioneer general."

"But I heard that the very elite dead soldiers in the Later Jin Dynasty and the white-armored Balaya were wearing triple armor and could fight fiercely for several hours. Is it fake?" Zhu Youjian asked curiously, and Qi Jin could only smile:

"The triple armor of Jianlu and the triple armor of Beilu are often made of cotton armor, chain mail, and cloth armor layer by layer."

"If you put it in this way, the weight will be about 60 kilograms, and the so-called fierce battle..."

"The last general has read the Tangbao of the Ministry of War. Jianlu's dead soldiers often act as vanguards to tear open the gaps in our army, and then lead the subsequent Jianlu army to enter and disrupt the formation."

"I won't mention it later."

"So, from the last point of view, it is Jianlu's dead soldiers, which will only take up two quarters of an hour at most."

Speaking of this, he pointed at Sun Yingyuan again:

"The Shanwen armor weighs 30 kilograms, and the armor worn by Commander Sun must be fish scales or cloth armor, otherwise it would not be so bloated."

"In this way, with that weapon, I had nearly 70 kilograms of weapons on my body, but I was walking in the garden for two hours. Isn't this endurance rare?"

Qi Jin smiled and stroked his beard, and at the same time, Yang Lian, wearing a blue official robe, also walked into the school grounds.

When Qi Jin saw Yang Lian coming, he did not speak anymore. Yang Lian even ignored Qi Jin and sat on Zhu Youjian's left chair.

Yang Lian was very disdainful of the relationship between Qi Jin and Zhu Youjian. Perhaps in his opinion, it was really not good for the general to be so close to the prince.

Therefore, he did not go when he was greeting Qi Jin three days ago, and he has been staying in his room these days.

If he leaves the camp, he must have gone to Qingling to worship Zhu Changluo, the Ming Guangzong.

As soon as he arrived, Zhu Youjian and Qi Jin stopped talking about training, but began to discuss various key points of marching and fighting.

As a student, Zhu Youjian took the lead in asking:

"Elder General, I have watched you command the army out of the camp these days. It seems that every time you command, there are different requirements. Why is this?"

Seeing that Zhu Youjian asked about the troops again, Qi Jin explained:

"The order of the marching of the army is very important. It is normal for Your Highness to not understand it, because ordinary military books will not say this."

"In our Ming Dynasty, a complete team of troops must have five teams, including the vanguard, the left ye, the right ye, the central army, the rear army."

"If the five teams are calculated based on the first battalion of three thousand people, it will be 15,000."

"It is a technical job to command so many people to go out of the camp, and you can't be in a hurry for this technical job."

Speaking of this, Qi Jin began to preach according to the process:

"As for Your Highness's Royal Horse Superintendent, if the organization is well organized, then when fighting and camping outside, the first one to go out of the camp must be the cavalry."

"Why is this?" Zhu Youjian asked clearly, wanting to see if Qi Jin could tell any tricks.

Qi Jin explained: "This is because the cavalry is fast. After leaving the camp, they can quickly advance to two or three miles away from the camp, then stop setting up their positions, set up their queues and start alerting."

"Under their alert, the infantry units left the camp in sequence according to the distance and distance, and arranged warnings on all sides twenty steps away from the camp."

"After the infantry leaves the camp, the last one is the baggage team."

"At this time, all the troops left the camp, and the order must change again."

"The infantry gathered their formation and walked in front of the cavalry, and then the cavalry guards led the baggage team and marched two miles away from the infantry."

"If it's snowing, then the cavalry will step on the snow in front and the infantry will follow behind."

"According to the last general's organization, the front, back, left and right, and the march is also marching in sequence according to this direction."

"The vanguard is the leader, the right army is the second, the central army is the middle, the left army is the second, and the rear army is the second."

"If you encounter a three-way intersection during the march, the entire army will stop and send a raid to a high place to look."

"If you encounter a dense forest and valley, you must first send a pond cavalry to search and explore the depths, and then march after there is no abnormality."

"To be on the safe side, the main general will also set up secret codes for each department to identify the main and guest soldiers without knowing each other, and avoid disguising the enemy."

Speaking of this, Qi Jin stopped explaining, and Zhu Youjian nodded, and after thinking about it, he said:
