Chapter 41: Negotiating the formation of the Guards (Part 2)
Gao Mo thought for a while and asked: "These fifty people need to be divided again. Does the eldest young master have any ideas?"
"You have to score one more point." Gao pragmatically said: "You can refer to Qi Jiguang's organization arrangement. Your brigade can be divided into four or five teams, with more than ten people in each team. Don't worry about fifty people.
In terms of scale, it’s not a big problem if there are two or three less or two or three more.”
Gao Mo pondered for a moment and asked, "Are all these people equipped as soldiers? Have they included the number of cooks?"
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "It's not really a cook... There are only fifty people here. Why are we so anxious for a dedicated cook? If we need to expand the establishment in the future, we will consider this. Besides, we only have the capital to Sanshenyuan at the moment."
The road is amazing, it only takes about two days to walk, I just dealt with it casually on the way, and I brought enough dry food to eat."
Gao Mo nodded and said: "Then we will divide them into four teams, A, B, C and D. Each team has twelve people. We will think about the specific arrangements for the villains. But if we have to train them all according to Qi Jiajun's method, it will be a bit difficult... because the villains
People are not very familiar with the specific organization and drills of the Qi Army."
Qi Jiajun's Yuanyang Formation is of course famous. Gao Jingshi knows that in various time-travel novels in the late Ming Dynasty, the Yuanyang Formation has a very high chance of appearing and has been imitated countless times. However, Gao Pragmatic does not intend to completely follow the Yuanyang Formation.
Configure your own team of bodyguards and servants.
According to his thinking, in the future he will find ways to improve the advancement of Ming Dynasty's firearms as much as possible, and at the same time abandon many fancy firearms that later proved to have little practical effect, so that the development of Ming Dynasty's firearms will avoid detours, but the improvement of firearms
There must be tactical updates to adapt.
When Qi Jiguang compiled the Yuanyang Formation, the level of development of firearms was definitely not as high as Gao Pragmatic's estimate of what the Ming Dynasty would be after his "magic modifications." Therefore, although the Yuanyang Formation was powerful enough, it was not necessarily the most "advanced" in Gao Pragmatic's mind for this era.
"Army" standard look.
However, there are two problems. The first is that Gao Wuzhi’s "magic reform" character has not yet been revealed. Daming’s firearms are still at the level that Ming Dynasty should be now, and Gao Wuzhi doesn’t even know if he can equip his servants with firearms - even
We don't know whether the imperial court allows it or not, so we can't mess around with this matter. We should first equip ourselves with cold weapons like other nobles for a period of time and understand the inside story clearly.
The second is that Captain Gao Mo may not have the ability to organize and train firearms troops. Anyway, Gao Pragmatic feels that the firearms troops in his mind can only be communicated with a talented military strategist like Qi Jiguang, who has a far-sighted military vision.
Others say that a purely firearms unit may be regarded as crazy. Therefore, due to the lack of talented people under its command, the only option now is to consider equipping a guard team with cold weapons.
In this case, Gao Mo's words would be a bit difficult for Gao Pragmatic.
Gao pragmatic thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "Otherwise, gather the people together first, and don't rush into the specific training. During this period, you first teach them to line up, march, etc., and you must first implement the discipline."
.”
Just when Gao Mo was about to agree, Gao Pragmatic continued: "Don't agree yet. The formation and march I mentioned may be different from what you learned in the army."
Gao Mo was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: What difference can this make?
As if he could see the doubts in his heart, Gao Pingshi frowned and said: "This matter can't be explained clearly in a few words. Forget it, I'll work hard tonight and write an outline for you..."
"Young Master." Gao Mo looked a little embarrassed: "Young man, this one doesn't know much about literacy..."
Gao pragmatic was stunned for a moment. Sometimes he still acted according to the habits of modern people. For example, he would not subconsciously think of Gao Mo's cultural level. After all, in the era before he time traveled, except for some very old people,
Besides, it is basically impossible to find people who are illiterate.
Upon seeing this, Gao Xiaozhuang quickly stood up and volunteered: "Young master, the younger one is literate, the younger one is literate!"
But Gao Pragmatic frowned and refused to speak for a long time.
Gao Xiaozhuang felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself: It's over. My performance yesterday was too bad. I'm afraid the young master doesn't trust me anymore. How can this be a good thing?
However, he waited anxiously for a long time, and then Gao Pragmatic sighed and said: "Originally, there were other more important things arranged for you to do, but now the training of the guards can be regarded as an urgent matter. I
Now that there is a shortage of people under my command, it seems that I have to work hard for you and do an extra job."
Gao Xiaozhuang said hurriedly: "It's not hard, it's not hard. It's a small man's blessing to be able to serve the young master."
After looking at Gao Xiaozhuang carefully, Gao Pragmatic said: "My booklet is mainly to write down some rules and regulations, and you are mainly responsible for preaching these systems to the recruited bodyguards, and then supervising the implementation of these systems with Gao Mo.
Of course, we are not an army, and there are not so many punishments such as beheadings and sticks. If anyone violates the disciplines I have stipulated here, the most serious one will be expulsion, and the most common one... is
Fine, or deduction."
In his previous life, Gao Pragmatic studied law in college, but he studied economics during his further studies, so it stands to reason that law is his major, and his understanding of law has some very personal views and understandings.
For example, when dealing with the people under your command, it doesn't make much sense if you always warn them that they will be sentenced for doing something, because people themselves understand this truth, and most people will not easily test this bottom line, even if they do it.
For something serious enough to warrant a sentence, he believed in his heart that it would not be discovered, so the level of concealment was very high.
It's different for some small things. Just to use a random analogy, let's just say spitting. This matter won't be punished anywhere. If you just emphasize that spitting is not allowed, some people may not take it seriously, especially when you ask questions.
For a person with low quality to begin with, what he says is basically in vain.
But if you arrange a spitting fine, especially if the fine is not low, they may not remember it at first, but as long as they are fined once and the fine makes them feel distressed, they are basically unlikely to do it again.
For example, if a servant is paid six taels per month as a guard, and spits once, he will be fined one tael. Those who have been punished once will definitely not dare to do it again - losing one tael of silver for such a trivial matter, how stupid can you be to do it again? Don't say that.
The person who was punished did not dare to commit the crime again. Even if the people around him saw this lesson, they would always be vigilant and remind themselves not to be as stupid as him.
Gao Xiaozhuang obviously didn't know how powerful Gao Pragmatic's method was. He heard that the most stringent discipline was nothing more than expulsion, usually just a fine, so he immediately felt more at ease - he was afraid that the eldest young man was young and ignorant, and would do something to others at every turn.
Dozens of big boards or something, that thing is too offending. The eldest young master’s identity and family background are here, so there is no need to worry about retaliation, but Gao Xiaozhuang himself is just the eldest young master’s book boy, and he has offended many people.
He might be killed someday.
***The author has something to say***
Ah! Gao Pragmatic is finally starting to form his own initial personal armed forces...
