Nanming Engineer

Chapter 151
The hearts of Ma Xintian and Zu Bian were full of enthusiasm. It turned out that Wang Huan had planned this way. The two of them vaguely understood that what Wang Huan did was not a person who was content with the status quo of Longevity Valley. Sooner or later something would happen, but they didn't understand him. How exactly?Surrounded by tyrannical powers, large and small forces dotted around, relying on the current strength, without a long-term vision to plan and plan, it is very easy to disappear in the troubled times, now Wang Huan explained his overall strategy to the two for the first time, it is feasible to think about it, let The two soldiers were excited.

People are ambitious and hope to shine under a bright master and gain wealth and glory in the future. If Wang Huan is a mediocre master who is content with a small amount of wealth, he will inevitably be disappointed.

Only a hero with great ambitions can make warriors like Zu Bian and Ma Xintian willing to work hard, and then gather talents, strengthen their momentum, and create a foundation in troubled times.

"Sir, are you saying that we should also follow the example of Zhuge Wuhou, occupy the center of Shu and look at the world, and restore our Han family's rivers and mountains?" Zubian also heard this, and stood up excitedly and shouted.

Wang Huan fiddled with the spear in his hand and glanced sideways at him: "I haven't even finished my horoscope yet. Why are you so excited? Train your soldiers first. Without good soldiers, what's the point of looking at the world?"

Zu Bian slapped his chest and said proudly: "My lord, don't worry, according to your method, this group of crops is already enough to be a soldier, and they have fought two more battles. They have seen blood kill people, and practice for a few more days. Guaranteed not to lose to any of the commander-in-chief of Ming Dynasty."

Ma Xintian also said in a deep voice: "My lord has very high requirements for soldiers, which I have rarely seen in my life. Your lord's method of training soldiers is a bit stricter than Qin Zongbing's training method, and the effect is much better. Moreover, your lord Yu Xiagang Soft and gentle, rewards and punishments are measured, soldiers and generals are very convinced, no complaints, such a strong army is enough to look down on many military towns in the imperial court."

Wang Huan put down his spear, let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "It's not enough. Compared with the Tartars, there is still a big gap."

Zu Bian and Ma Xintian were suffocated at the same time, bowed their heads and fell silent. They had seen the toughness of the Tartars before. Even Li Zicheng's battalion was defeated. It was indeed not ordinary. They chased from Beijing to Shaanxi for half a year. He copied the capital of Dashun Kingdom, chased King Li Chuang, who was about to sit on the dragon chair, to the mountain and was killed by Xiangyong.

Everyone hates the Qing army, and the objective facts must be admitted.

Wang Huan raised his head and cast his eyes on the loud shouts of the peasants on the school grounds. The peasants who were holding hoes not long ago have already lined up to shoot their guns, moving forward and retreating in unison according to the beat of the drums. How long has it been since the assassination?Two months, or three months, the days are too busy, and I have forgotten a little bit.

He cheered up, laughed and said to Zu Bian and Ma Xintian: "Why are you depressed? We at Longevity Valley have been able to train a team that has won consecutive victories in such a short period of time. We should be happy. You didn't mean it." Wrong, the Qing army is still far north of the south of the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River, and we are still far away. When they come to fight, we will not be what we used to be. In less than a year, no, half a year! Only half a year, I can let The sons grow up in the blood, use the heads of the enemy as the stepping stones for the soldiers to become stronger!"

Zu Bian and Ma Xintian's eyes lit up, they looked at each other, and laughed at the same time. Wang Huan was so confident, of course there was no problem. They thought that Longevity Valley Minzhuang would have been able to take charge of it long ago. When Wang Huan mentioned the Tartars, It made the two of them a little worried, whether Wang Huan would be afraid, since he figured it out soon, it would be great.

"Organize the newly arrived refugees to replace the 3000 people who built the city, and liberate 3000 people to serve as professional soldiers, train every day, and use the fastest speed to strive to improve as much as possible before departure in September. Combat capability, these [-] people will be paid according to the monthly money of the soldiers of Ming Dynasty, and we will be paid the pure silver produced by ourselves, and we will not be able to pay the colored silver from outside." Wang Huan stood up and said concentratingly.

Ma Xintian got up and said, "My lord, don't you want to follow the example of Tang Dynasty and set up dental soldiers and internal yamen soldiers?"

"No, the Ya soldiers can't lose their tails, and they are easy to become soldiers. Instead, they restrain the general and gather the crowd to cause chaos. Our soldiers are called Kuizhou soldiers." The general does not belong to anyone else, the leader only leads the army, not the army, and all the food and pay are controlled by the general, so that we can avoid the mistakes of the Tang Dynasty."

Zu Bian and Ma Xintian looked at each other again, and they both saw a trace of awe in each other's eyes, then they knelt on one knee and clasped their fists together and said, "Your Excellency is far-sighted, and the general will be extremely admired. Please follow your orders!"

……

Time passed by, and Wanshou Valley ushered in September amid intense training. The weather began to slowly become cooler, and the high temperature gradually faded away. Although the autumn tiger was still raging, the vicious sun was no longer so strong.

Wang Huan's textile workshop worked overtime to make [-] sets of white robes with asbestos fibers mined in the mountains. Due to time constraints, none of them were inlaid with iron leaves, but rattan armor was abundant. Wearing a suit of armor and a white robe, wrapped in a white asbestos turban, and holding a white wax pole spear, standing in an array, they immediately transformed from a group of refugees like barbarians into a majestic and solemn army.

At the ceremony of conferring armor, Wang Huan personally distributed weapons and armor to everyone. Every time a person was distributed, Xu Tiezhu asked next to him: "Who are you? Who are you fighting for?"

Min Zhuang replied loudly: "I am a certain person from the Longevity Valley, and I will fight for Lord Wang!"

Then Wang Huan gave a few more words of encouragement, and the next one came up. In the team of 3000 people, Wang Huan met each of them once. They all remembered him, and also remembered the two sentences he yelled out.

This is what Wang Huan wanted.

Next, it's time to set up the entire army.

Before this, Wang Huan only roughly followed the regulations of the Centuries, and hundreds of people were formed into a team, which was a rough militia management method. Basically, there were no officers. Anyway, the two battles were small-scale defeat battles. Winning with a large number of people, everyone swarmed up, rushed up to punch and beat up, the enemy was panicked, and they could win by fighting wildly.

It will be different in the future. That kind of happy and simple combat method can be encountered but not sought after. There should be an effective command system from top to bottom.Referring to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Huan decided to use ten people as a team, with one team leader and one team deputy; the ten teams consisted of one hundred households, and one hundred households had one person in the general banner, also known as the captain of a hundred; ten hundred teams formed a thousand households. Let there be one chief executive and two deputy chief executives; if there are more than one chief executive, three thousand households will form a battalion, and there will be one general in the camp. At present, there are only 3000 people, so there are three officials from thousands of households and one general in the battalion.

Wang Huan led the battalion himself, and the three thousand household officials below, Zu Bian and Ma Xintian each took one, the deputy chief executive was left empty, and the remaining one chief executive, Wang Huan hesitated for a long time, and did not think of a reliable person. I have to take care of myself first.

The Centuries, which were first established, served as their own guards as a special organization. These people were trained by Wang Huan himself. They were loyal and reliable. They stayed with them as a teaching team and carefully cultivated them.

A total of 30 people are needed for the [-] households under Qian Zong, all of whom are white veterans. These people have fought with Qin Liangyu and have rich experience. They are junior officers, which is reassuring.

As for the lowest-level captain and team deputy, Wang Huan selected 300 people from among the people in advance. They fought bravely and experienced a bit in battle.

The ten-man team is the most basic combat unit. Due to the limited number of weapons, it can only be divided into card players and pikemen. Four of the ten people hold swords and shields, and six people hold ash pole spears. The mountain-destroying crossbow is also used as a crossbow and arrow soldier; the sword and shield soldier uses a wooden round shield covered with iron, and holds a waist knife.

"When we have firearms in the future, replace the sword and shield hand with the bird commander, and reduce one spearman and replace it with a large shield hand." Wang Huan looked at the neatly lined up line, and thought to himself, a clever woman can't cook without rice. It is not easy to arm the army like this.

"Order the whole army to take a three-day holiday and go back to reunite with their families. Three days later, the whole army will set off to recover Kuizhou!" Wang Huan ordered loudly, and above his head, a banner with the word "King" embroidered with Dou Da fluttered.
