Facing the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners moving south, Zhu Yongxing took a very cautious attitude and adopted what seemed to be the safest countermeasure. Although conservative, there was nothing wrong with it until all the restraining forces in the plan were fully prepared and in place.
Zhu Yongxing doesn't want such a situation to happen when he wins and collapses when he loses. Although Nanming has passed the most dangerous period and can withstand one or two defeats, he would rather win small and steady victories than take too many risks.
A huge victory, this is what Zhu Yongxing wants.
The prolongation of time has begun to benefit Nanming. Its political, economic, and military advantages will become greater and greater as time goes by. This is due to the series of policies and methods adopted by the Nanming government under the promotion of Zhu Yongxing.
A variety of ways to make money, political progress and enlightenment, changes in military equipment, morale, etc. Basically, it can be said to be the overall advantage of civilization over barbarism, advanced versus backward, and enlightened versus feudal.
Civilization is defeated by barbarism, but this does not mean that barbarism is advanced. Can a civilization that has gone astray and gone astray still be called civilization? Because of this, there are examples of barbarism defeating civilization in the world, but they are absolutely
No more than civilization defeats savagery.
"The crushing of strength——" Prince Ma Bao of Ruyang understood Zhu Yongxing's thoughts to some extent, and solemnly said to the generals: "What your Highness is pursuing and hoping for is this situation. Use artillery, muskets, bayonets, and
A brave and fearless spirit will undoubtedly win victory. In other words, strategy is indispensable, but its importance in determining victory or defeat will continue to decrease.”
"Although it is a very simple truth, it requires hard work to achieve." Wu Sansheng and Ma Bao exchanged glances and solemnly added: "It requires everyone's efforts to train troops and study battle tactics. As for equipment, Your Highness
We will make up for it, but it depends on us whether it can be worthy of His Highness's painstaking efforts and whether it can live up to His Highness's high expectations."
Zhang Guoyong and others exchanged glances with each other, and it was clear in their hearts. His Highness Min did not follow the old path of relying on large numbers of troops to win, and determined the establishment. This meant that the route of elite troops, the priority supply of weapons and equipment, and military pay rewards would also be increased accordingly.
It is to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army within this establishment. As for the garrison, it must belong to the local army. It is not only a reserve source of troops, but also responsible for maintaining social security. The treatment gap will also be wider than that of the regular army to ensure that the garrison personnel yearn for the regular army.
.
"Victory will cover up problems. Failure will expose flaws." Wu Sansheng continued: "These are the exact words of His Highness's letter. When we were in Yunnan Province, we learned our lesson and fought for our lives in a desperate manner.
The Qing army thought that victory was certain, and they were proud, relaxed, and dispersed, thus giving us opportunities to defeat each other. Now, the situation has just turned around. The continuous victories have given many people such a view.
, thinking that as long as the equipment can keep up, victory will be no problem. As everyone knows, in the final analysis, the victory or defeat of a war is determined by people. It is determined by the will and quality of the soldiers. If everyone marches forward bravely, even if they cut down trees to make soldiers, the enemy will be frightened.
.”
"Your Highness has done his best, and the status and treatment of soldiers have been improved as never before." Ma Bao's voice sounded again. It was very deep and serious, "But have we done enough? Don't talk about others, that is.
Who dares to pat his chest and say that he can defeat the regiment led by Wei Junzhong? Well. Our establishment here is determined, and it is estimated that it is the same over there. It is certain that Wei Junzhong will become the commander of the first division. The first lieutenant colonel
Well, you deserve the title, who is dissatisfied?"
Wei Junzhong, who was born in the Jiangwu Hall, is the most dazzling one. Although he was delayed for a long time in studying at the Jiangwu Hall, well, it cannot be said that he was delayed. It should be said that he was sharpening his sword and chopping firewood. After that, he took it with him
The imprint of the direct line of the Min vassal began the war with the first organic fusilier battalion, and learned lessons from actual combat, constantly changing the weapon equipment ratio of the fusilier battalion and regiment, and became the model for the current fusilier battalion and regiment.
The future is boundless, almost everyone sees it this way. The military rank marks the status and achievements of the generals who were born in the Jiangwu Hall, and also represents the degree of respect they receive from Zhu Yongxing. The highest-ranking person in the army currently is Wei Junzhong, who is led by the captain
has been promoted to lieutenant colonel; and the highest ranking officer in the navy is Duan Zhiying. In these three battles, he went to aid Jin and Xiamen, attacked the Guangnan Navy, and destroyed the Qing Army's Guangdong Navy. In these three battles, he was promoted from a trainee second lieutenant to a captain, and from a major
Just one step away.
Because the military rank system was created by Zhu Yongxing, it represents direct lineage and new forces. Therefore, although there are currently no particularly high military ranks, they have gradually become the backbone of the military. Compared with the current overflow of generals, deputy generals,
The gold content of general soldiers is much greater.
Of course, Wei Junzhong's promotion to lieutenant colonel was also due to his high starting point. And he was able to temporarily give up the opportunity to build a career, first to study gilding in the martial arts hall, and then to catch up from behind and become the commander of a division with real power, which also shows his ability.
Vision and scheming.
Alas, why didn’t you think of this earlier? Generals including Zhang Guoyong all sighed in their hearts. Of course, they may also become the beneficiaries of the established organization and directly lead a regiment or a division, but under the rotation system, Zhu Yongxing
The rotation system created means that their positions will not always be stable. But for people like Wei Junzhong, if they don't make any big mistakes, their status and positions will be quite stable and they will rise all the way.
"The top priority now is to capture Meizhou cleanly, and then to strengthen training and develop an iron army, an invincible iron army." Ma Bao's voice became passionate, "We must defeat the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia.
They come and go but never come back; Fujian Province is rebellious, we must plow up the courtyards and sweep holes, and wipe out everything; we have lost the land in the south of the Yangtze River, we must attack and plunder, and be invincible. What, but I feel guilty, but I have no confidence?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the regiment led by Wei Junzhong can be named the 'Model Regiment' by His Highness, shouldn't our army be called the 'Iron Army' by His Highness?" Zhang Guoyong was the first to express his stance, quite ambitious to compete with Wei Junzhong.
"The general is willing to work hard for this."
"The general will also wish."
…………
Zhu Yongxing expected that his awarding the title of Wei Junzhong's regiment would bring good results. The power of example is infinite. A naming represents honor, his respect and appreciation. If no one fights for it, that is abnormal.
things.
But he also knew that he could not see concrete results for the time being, and could only test them in future battles. At this time, he was in the house, looking at the treasure that had just been shipped, and he was very happy. (To be continued...)
