Chapter 763 The Beginning of Military Reform
Both Zhang Fu and Meng Ying were very serious, and Zhu Gaochi said, "Dehua, Jubaoshan Guard has made great achievements. I want to hear your views on the Ming army. Be more casual and say whatever you think."
Fang Xing saw Zhu Zhanji sitting upright on the side as if he was a student, and said, "This topic is a bit big, so I will talk about it in a mess. If you say it wrong, please forgive me."
Liang Zhong hung a map on the wall, Fang Xing walked over and looked at it, and then said, "Since we talked about the changes in the Ming army, it must be targeted, so we must first look at our potential enemies."
"Arutai, the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the grassland at this time was Arutai."
Fang Xingdian Tatar's territory and said: "The characteristic of grassland cavalry is that they come and go like the wind, have strong impact, and are good at suppressing their opponents with bows and arrows."
"In the past, the Ming Dynasty used cavalry against cavalry. Although it had Shenji Camp, it was only an auxiliary role and did not serve as the main force."
Meng Ying nodded and said, "Although the Shenji Camp is very powerful, it is inconvenient to move, so after a few rounds, you have to change to the infantry and cavalry."
Fang Xing said with a nod, "With the cavalry that was attacking at high speed, not only Shenji Camp, but also Jubaoshan Guards cannot completely block the opponent's route with firepower, so they suffered a great loss during the Northern Expedition and almost wiped out the entire army. So after I came back, I learned from the pain and asked Zhu Fang and others to build bronze cannons."
"With the bronze cannon, you can first break up the opponent's dense formation at a long distance and reduce the impact."
Fang Xing asked someone to bring a bunch of teacups and teapots. He placed the teapots behind him and said, "The cannons are placed behind the musketeers to attack the opponents at a long range. When the enemy's distance is closer, the formation will inevitably be chaotic. At this time, the musketeers can play a role and directly block the enemy's assault route."
The teacups were lined up in several rows, Fang Xing randomly changed a formation, and then said: "With the development of artillery, we will definitely participate in the entire battle in the future. When the flowering bullets develop in the future, no one in the Ming Dynasty will be afraid of me."
"Blossom Bullet? What is it?"
Zhu Gaochi asked with great interest.
"Uh..." Fang Xing thought for a while: "Your Highness, the shells used for artillery are iron bombs at this time, and the lethality is on the route of the shells. The flowering shells are filled with gunpowder and explode when they land."
Zhang Fu asked, "But it's similar to the kind of grenade you use?"
Fang Xing nodded and said, "It can be said that, but the power is incomparable, and the range is even more different."
Zhang Fu said clearly: "That is to use artillery to strike long-range and short-range muskets to block the enemy."
Fang Xing smiled: "This is just a preliminary tactic. The specific one has to rely on the Ministry of War or the people from the Governor's Office of the Five Army to explore it themselves."
Fang Xing didn’t want to be an instructor, that was limiting his future path and it was also fearful.
Co-existing that you have trained the Ming army. Damn, when you go up and call, can you change the dynasty?
Meng Ying frowned and said, "Can't Xinghe Bo say more details?"
If Alutai wins a complete victory, it will inevitably expand in the future. Provoking the Ming Dynasty will become his only option. So everyone has a sense of urgency and wants to defeat Alutai again in the next northern expedition.
Fang Xing smiled and said, "For example, the cooperation between several sergeants will have a great effect in small-scale combat, especially in street fighting. This model will reduce a lot of casualties and advance much faster."
Meng Ying said she didn't understand, and Zhang Fu also signaled Fang Xing to explain it clearly.
Fang Xing said helplessly: "For example, a small flag team can practice this kind of cooperation. Whoever monitors and covers the situation on the spot, takes the opportunity to move forward, and then covers the brothers behind him, and in this way, they will force the enemy into a desperate situation step by step."
Zhang Fu said: "This kind of tactic must have the same equipment as Jubaoshanwei, otherwise it will be of little use."
Meng Ying nodded and said, "Well, I heard that the Jubaoshan Guard's muskets have a long range and are accurate. If they can be equipped with the same equipment, the Ming army will be invincible!"
This sentence represents Meng Ying's recognition. Zhang Fu hesitated and said, "This matter needs to be cautious. Otherwise, please ask Your Majesty to make a decision."
Fang Xing smiled. This was just an excuse, and the purpose was to give Zhu Di a step forward.
As a horse emperor, Zhu Di must be eager for unfamiliar tactics, but because of his identity, he needs a roundabout way.
...
The military camp of Jubaoshan Guard welcomed the inspection team today, and the commander was His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhu Di looked at the training facilities such as ditches and single-plank bridges and asked about the purpose.
As soon as Fang Xing waved his hand, a soldier from the small flag team began to practice.
First, he ran wildly at a high speed of 100 meters, and then he dived and drilled forward from under a barbed wire.
Fang Xing introduced: "These are mainly fighting in the city. As for field battles, our army can naturally use artillery and muskets to defend the enemy, and can also use bayonets in close combat."
Zhu Di nodded and watched the sergeant rush towards a large wooden sign.
"good!"
Seeing the first sergeant holding a gun in one hand, he took a big wooden sign in one step, and then flipped over easily, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but shout.
The next step was to cross the single-plank bridge, which was very smooth. Zhu Di asked, "But you often practice this?"
Fang Xing said without any modesty: "I have only started practicing recently, but the ones below are tightly controlled, so it's okay."
Meng Ying said: "Your Majesty, everyone in the Baoshan Guards is good. According to my opinion, any one you go out can teach a hundred households."
"hehe!"
Fang Xing would not accept such flattery with traps, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's just a practice of tactics that make perfect. Discipline is the first priority. If the military discipline is not strict, it will be useless even if you give him one cannon."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "The Ming Dynasty can sweep the Mongolian Yuan because of military discipline. If the military discipline is in chaos, let alone the Mongolian Yuan people, just a few people can..."
Zhu Zhanji gave Fang Xing a wink, allowing him to get out of the topic.
The rebellion in Shandong made Zhu Di a little angry. On the one hand, it was for the sake of officials and officials forced the people to rebel, while on the other hand, it was the destruction of the garrison.
"Your Majesty, let's take a look at the live ammunition exercise."
Sure enough, this topic attracted Zhu Di's attention.
So Lin Qun'an took people to set up the target, and Wang He came over happily and introduced: "Your Majesty, the small flag team that was performed this time was just picked out casually. I dare to guarantee that there will be no fraud."
Zhu Di glanced at Wang He, then turned his eyes to the small flag department that was preparing.
Wang He was so excited that his whole body was numb when he saw it.
Fang Xing was worried that this guy would do something when he was excited, so he quickly took Zhu Di to the platform.
On the high platform, Fang Xing arranged several shield players. These shields were all steel, so it was no problem to defend against lead bullets.
But when the small flag team started the offensive exercise, Zhu Di couldn't help but get up and escaped from the shield's protection, which made Song Jianran a little confused.
"Big and Bitch!"
The smoke of gunpowder rose and the grenade was thrown over immediately.
"Boom boom boom!"
When Zhu Di's eyes lit up when he saw the soldiers getting up from the ground and then bent down and rushed forward.
"Big and Bitch!"
The sergeant in front immediately fired a gun to cover it, and threw out the grenade again.
"good."
Zhu Di nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "This tactic is quite useful in the wild."
The aliens on the grassland live by grass, so of course there will be no street fighting.
But during field battles, this kind of tactic can still be used in small combat.8)
