It seems that the Zhejiang army is indeed different from the officers and soldiers of the garrison. In terms of military discipline and combat power, they are beyond the comparison of the officers and soldiers of the garrison.
Chen Dacheng had to face it seriously, put away his expression, and asked Zhu Ping'an seriously, "I wonder what the conditions are for recruiting soldiers? Your army is for group training. If you apply to join the army, what is your future?"
After hearing Chen Dacheng's inquiry, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but feel happy. Chen Daneng asked about the conditions for recruiting soldiers and their future after joining the army. Naturally, he was already inclined to agree to the clan members and villagers recruiting to join the army.
"As long as they are young and strong local farmers, miners, or have brothers to support the elderly, they can come and sign up, and the best ones can be recruited. Although our Zhejiang Army conducts group training, the soldiers' pay is much higher than that of the guards' officers and soldiers. Every month
Soldiers are paid one and a half taels of silver. If they perform well in the performance appraisal, they can get silver rewards and promotion opportunities. Killing a Japanese pirate on the battlefield will reward you with 0 taels of silver. The more you kill, the higher the reward. You can also be promoted for your merits and be granted the title of wife.
.In addition, our Zhejiang Army is a regiment training army. It is not a hereditary military status, but a civilian status. You can retire when the time comes, and it will not affect your engagement in industry and commerce or your participation in imperial examinations."
Zhu Ping'an briefly introduced the conditions for recruiting soldiers, focusing on the treatment and promotion space of the Zhejiang Army. He also emphasized that joining the Zhejiang Army is not a hereditary military membership. There are no disadvantages of being a military household, and you can retire.
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, sir. I have another question. I wonder how you will train your troops after you recruit them?" Chen Dacheng asked again.
Zhu Ping'an felt even happier after hearing Chen Dacheng's questions. The more detailed and in-depth Chen Dacheng asked, and the more he wanted to know, the more it showed that he was inclined to agree with the clan members and villagers to enlist in the army.
Regarding Chen Dacheng's question, Zhu Ping'an replied with a serious face: "The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you will bleed in war. After I recruit soldiers, I naturally have to drill rigorously, but what is different from other people's training is that I train soldiers with a heavy military discipline
, double thoughts, triple firearms.”
"Your Excellency attaches great importance to military discipline, and ordinary people understand it, but what is this idea?" Chen Dacheng asked doubtfully.
"The so-called ideology refers to ideological education. Simply put, it is to improve the ideological awareness of soldiers, let them understand who they are fighting for and why they are fighting, and concentrate on cultivating their faith. An army with faith and discipline will never
They are a ragtag group of people whose iron will creates an iron army."
Zhu Ping'an's doubts about Chen Dacheng were not surprising. Even Zhang Jing was puzzled by this, let alone him. It would take hundreds of years for the importance of ideological education to be valued and discovered, and it would become the key to military construction.
A great weapon.
An iron will creates an iron army... Hearing this, Chen Dacheng felt uneasy.
"Sir, ordinary people also have a certain understanding of military affairs. Firearms have always played a auxiliary role in our army. "Ming Dynasty Records" records: 'For every one hundred households, there are ten gunmen, twenty swordsmen, and archers.
Thirty, and forty gunners. Only one-tenth of the army's gunsmiths use firearms, and they are in a auxiliary position. Your Excellency attaches great importance to firearms, and it seems that there is some reversal of priorities." Chen Dacheng raised a question.
"Does Patriarch Chen know about Shenji Camp?" Zhu Ping'an asked.
"The common people know." Chen Dacheng replied.
"History is moving forward, and everything is developing, and firearms are no exception. "Records of the Ming Dynasty" comes from the Hongwu period, and gunmen accounted for one-tenth. By the Yongle period, Emperor Yongle built the Shenji Camp, a specialized firearms unit.
The more attention we pay to firearms. Firearms are ten times more powerful and a hundred times more powerful than cold weapons. Whoever can effectively use firearms will be able to control the outcome of the war." Zhu Pingan said to Chen Dacheng with a confident look on his face.
"Sir, Emperor Yongle built the Divine Machine Camp to assist other military camps. Emperor Yongle proposed the combat method of 'the divine machine guns are in the front and the cavalry are in the rear'. This is still the case today. Firearms are used in front of the enemy, not
As the main weapon of war, you still have to use swords and guns to kill enemies. In addition, firearms are difficult to use on cloudy and rainy days, and gunmen need to be protected by long guns. Firearms can only play a supporting role. If adults attach great importance to firearms, isn't it a matter of priority?
"Chen Dacheng insisted and questioned.
Zhu Ping'an was not surprised when he heard this. This is a limitation of this era and a limitation of history. It is not his fault. Even Qi Jiguang, who will attach great importance to firearms in the future, is still limited in the use of firearms. Qi Jiguang also emphasized that "firearms are used before fighting the enemy."
"It cannot be relied upon as the main weapon of war." Although the firearm ratio of the Qi family's army is up to half, the standard weapons of the Qi family's army are not firearms, but cold weapons such as rattan plates, wolf swords, and Qi's sabers. The Qi family's combat methods are also cold weapons.
, the Yuanyang Formation is the main one, and firearms are only used before engaging the enemy.
But Zhu Pingan is different. Zhu Pingan has hundreds of years of historical experience that surpasses them. He knows that it is inevitable for firearms to replace cold weapons. Whoever can effectively use firearms can control the outcome of the war. It is no exaggeration to say that whoever can
Whoever uses firearms effectively will be the king of the army in this world!
To be honest, Zhu Ping'an's advantage in military training lies in firearms and his hundreds of years of experience in the development and use of firearms. Compared with this era, whether it is Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other outstanding soldiers of the Ming army or Fo Langji, England and others have begun to pay attention to firearms
All Western countries are far inferior to Zhu Pingan, and even one plus one is not as good as Zhu Pingan.
Of course, when it comes to cold weapons, no matter how many military books Zhu Pingan reads and how much experience he has, he cannot compare to Qi Jiguang and others.
The more Zhu Ping'an studied future Qi Jiguang's masterpieces "New Book of Ji Xiao", "Records of Military Training" and ancient military books such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Wei Liao Zi", the more he felt that the ancients were powerful. In terms of cold weapon warfare, Zhu Ping'an felt ashamed
Not as good as.
This is not simply what experience can make up for, but also talent. On the track of cold weapons, Zhu Pingan thought that no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up with them, nor could he do better than Qi Jiguang and others. But with firearms, Zhu Pingan had
confidence.
As long as he trains an army with firearms, Zhu Ping'an is confident that he can defeat the Japanese pirates who cannot take care of themselves and kneel down to call daddy!
In fact, Zhu Ping'an was confident enough to step on the Japanese Fusang, tie up their bullshit emperor with a long tassel, and hold the general accountable.
On the one hand, we should maximize our strengths and avoid our weaknesses; on the other hand, we should lead the military trend.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an's military training is to train an army that mainly uses firearms and equipment and uses firearms for combat.
"Clan Chief Chen, the wheel of history is rolling forward. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Although firearms have many disadvantages, they are not a problem as long as they are improved and perfected. Although I am not talented, I have great experience in firearm warfare and firearm improvement.
etc., there are unique researches, for example, I have tripled the loading efficiency of gunpowder, innovated the tactics of using firearms, etc. However, it involves military secrets, so please forgive me for not saying more."
Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly and said firmly. His eyes were like the sun, full of confidence.
Increased gunpowder reloading efficiency by three times
This means that originally only one round of firecrackers can be fired, but now three rounds of firecrackers can be fired, which increases the lethality by three times. Although I don’t know how to improve the tactics of using firearms, it seems that it should be no worse than gunpowder reloading.
.
In this way, the effectiveness of firearms has been increased by at least five or six times. It makes sense that Mr. Zhu attaches great importance to firearms.
"Caomin understands. Thank you for clarifying my doubts." Chen Dacheng clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Zhu Ping'an. (To be continued.)
