When the weather cleared up after the rain, Wan Lei left the city of Beiping early and led important officials from the military and political parties to Changping, an important town in the northwest of Beiping. First, he was to inspect military training; second, he was
Pay homage to the heroes who died in the Battle of Peiping.
After discussions with the elders, Wan Lei finally decided to find an auspicious site near Changping County, the headquarters of the Second Army Division, as a collective cemetery for the sacrificed soldiers. Not only would there be dedicated personnel to maintain it, but in the spring and autumn, personnel would be organized to carry out memorial sweeps. As a "
"Patriotic" education base.
The cemetery is located in Tianshou Mountain in the north of Changping City. Wan Lei remembers that this should be the family tomb of Zhu Laosi. However, Zhu Laosi was not lucky enough and went to the Hall of the King of Hell to become the King of Yan. This is unclaimed land and can be used as a burial place.
The Feng Shui of the Martyrs Cemetery is many times better than that of other places with seven treasures and eight treasures in later generations.
Changping is the north gate of Peiping, with dangerous passes such as Juyong Pass and Longhu Terrace. It is connected to Badaling in the northwest. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Therefore, the Peking Army has "heavy troops" stationed here, with a total of 30,000 people. See
It's not much, but it's already half the strength of the Peking Army. If we defend the Juyong Pass, there shouldn't be any problems.
Tianshou Mountain is directly north of Changping County, facing the dangers of Yanshan Mountain in the north. It has only a small entrance, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the Martyrs Cemetery is full of neat military graves, but there are no funerary objects in them. The most valuable ones
It’s the marble tombstones on the head of the tomb. They are carefully engraved with the tomb owner’s name, birth and death, and major deeds for future generations to mourn. Without valuable things, it will not attract those gold-touching schools.
Lieutenant.
On a hillside, tens of thousands of tombstones are neatly lined up. Wan Lei and others pay homage all the way from the beginning, bowing three times before each row of tombstones, and the accompanying tombkeepers will also fire guns in sacrifice. In this solemn way
On this occasion, everyone present shed tears. The bloody battle scenes in the defense of Peiping were replayed in everyone's minds. It was the tens of thousands of soldiers lying here that made Shuntian Prefecture what it is today.
Originally, Wan Lei wanted to bring people here on Qingming Day, but unfortunately the cemetery was not repaired at that time, so he could only come as late as now. In the future, Shuntian Prefecture will form a custom and send officials to visit the cemetery twice on Qingming Festival and Chongyang Festival.
It is open to the public at ordinary times, and soldiers and civilians can come to worship at any time.
After visiting the cemetery, it was already noon. Wan Lei had a camp meal with the officers and soldiers in the Changping garrison camp. In the afternoon, he held a pre-war mobilization meeting and announced that the Peking Army would begin rotation training.
The so-called rotation training is actual combat training in turns. From the 50,000 garrison outside Peking City, 5,000 people are selected every month to form elite cavalry, responsible for mopping up all bandits and road tyrants in Shuntian Prefecture. At the same time as the actual combat training, they are also in Bao Beiping City.
Peace, we must use iron and blood to tell the world that Shuntian Mansion is not a paradise for bandits and bullies.
From now on, regardless of whether you are a refugee or a refugee, if you want to enter Shuntian Prefecture, you have to go to Beiping City to register for residence, become a second-class resident, and are subject to the Baojia Law. Those who do not come voluntarily will be regarded as bandits, and they will be captured alive if they can.
Those who came back to work as slave labor and resisted would be killed directly.
In order to encourage the army to actively carry out training, Wan Lei also set an incentive measure, which is to reward prisoners and heads, with twenty taels for each prisoner and five taels for each head. At the same time, some restrictions must be announced and regulations for combat operations
The scope is only in Shuntian Prefecture. It is strictly forbidden for the rotation training troops to go to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to engage in terrorist activities, otherwise it will be inappropriate to anger the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the captured prisoners must be authenticated and confirmed to be refugees. Only then can rewards be given, so as to prevent officers and soldiers from killing good people and taking credit for their reward. Wan Lei will not be lenient to those who kill good people and take credit for their service, because Peiping
The army is the disciples of Shuntian Prefecture. They eat military food and get military pay, so they should behave like disciples.
While issuing three orders and five orders to the army to strengthen military training and ideological education, Wan Lei also announced that an officer academy will be opened in the near future to teach military affairs and train mid-level and senior officers.
In fact, if an army wants to be invincible, in addition to advanced weapons and fearless soldiers, it must also have high-quality commanders at all levels. Especially in the thermal weapon wars of later generations.
, the role of middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers is even more obvious.
Because, in addition to large-scale battles, there are more often small-scale raids. At this time, high-quality lower-level non-commissioned officers must be available to lead small-group combat units such as special forces. In view of this, Wan Lei will
After the preparations for the establishment of primary and secondary schools were left to the elders, they began to focus on the establishment of military schools.
Wan Lei considers himself not a military strategist, but he knows that practice leads to true knowledge. While training soldiers, officers who have participated in rotation training will also have officers who have participated in rotation training to talk about combat experience in the school. Everyone participates in discussions and constantly combines new theories with actual combat.
From war to war, summarizing and exploring, eliminating the false and retaining the true, this can also cultivate military masters.
Of course, this group is not the other group, but a group of non-commissioned officers at all levels. There are brave soldiers who are not afraid of death, advanced weapons, coupled with high-quality officers and sophisticated tactics, with matching software and hardware.
This is how an army wins.
In addition, opening an officer academy can not only train officers, but also maintain the "purity" of the army, forming a consensus from top to bottom: the Peiping Army is the army of the people of Shuntian Prefecture, not an army of officers alone. It has a certain nature, even if the upper-level officers are corrupt
Once you have fallen, you will still be monolithic underneath and will not fall with you.
As soon as the mobilization meeting ended, the rotation training army, under the leadership of Commander Zhou Dingbian, set out from the military camp to conduct a month-long rotation training. The main combat goal of this month was to clear out the prisoners who had been "released" by Wan Lei.
, there are about two thousand people, no more, no less, they are considered good training targets.
Wan Lei will not sympathize with such repeating villains. After all, they have been given a chance to reform once and will not be given a second time. If these people are caught, they will definitely be dragged away.
They go down into coal mines to dig coal. As for whether they can see the light of day again, in addition to whether they have a heart of repentance, it also depends on whether their lives are long enough.
"My dear nephew, our Peking Army is not only short of war horses, but also of weapons, especially firearms and gunpowder, which must be solved as soon as possible." Tie Xuan also came out together, and on the way back to the city, he reminded with some worry.
.As an administrator, he can solve the problem of military rations, but he does not have the ability to create weapons and equipment.
"We are still not capable of producing muskets. It is possible to produce artillery, but gunpowder is more difficult. For the time being, we can only train cavalry and archery. If we can equip artillery in the future, we can train artillery and cavalry combined tactics.
, in short, there is no need to rush." Wan Lei also frowned.
"Oh, we have to be anxious. The imperial court is always on guard against us. We have Bei Yuan and Duoyan Sanwei in the northeast. Even if we can stabilize the imperial court and Beiyuan, there is no guarantee when Duoyan Sanwei will come again. This time
It’s really unsettling.”
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the soil. The three guards of Duoyan will definitely come, most likely after the autumn harvest, to go south to grab grain. We have a few months to prepare properly."
"Hey, it's hard to survive in the cracks!"
"We have no choice but to make the best of the situation and respond proactively."
