Chapter 110 [Thunder Team]
After the Liu Dahulu incident, all the surrendered soldiers of the new army were frightened and completely calm. After more than ten days of screening, a total of 257 people passed the verification and were all incorporated into the Polu camp. In this way, Zhao Lie had 500 battle soldiers. The remaining nearly 1,000 surrendered soldiers were half of the auxiliary soldiers, and half of them were servants, and all of them were filled in the Dragon Que Army. According to the military strength of this era, Zhao Lie had more than 1,500 soldiers.
More than 1,200 people passed the final pass only a fraction of the time. The careful identification and strict verification can be imagined.
After occupying the Wan'an army and annihilated Ma Fuji, the Longque Army would face large-scale attack and retaliation of the Yuan army at any time. Zhao Lie's current top priority is to build a city, train troops, and manufacture weapons.
There are a number of famous craftsmen in manufacturing weapons. If you leave professional matters to professionals, Zhao Lie can let go.
The city was built mainly by auxiliary soldiers, servants and recruiting local people at that time. The total area of the military city was only thirteen acres, equivalent to the size of a standard football field in later generations. The city was 1 zhang and 3 feet wide and 1 zhang and 5 feet high. There was sand and gravel on the beach, and clay and lime around the mountains around Wan'an Army, which was easy to use and transport. The general supervisor Guo Chenggui expected to be completed in two months.
In this way, only Zhao Lie needs to do it himself, that is, training troops.
There is a constitution for training. In the past, Zhao Lie had only 100 soldiers, but nearly half of them were brought by several generals who surrendered. In addition, time hastily and environmental restrictions, it was mostly simple training. It was mainly familiar with firearms, basically mastering loading ammunition and firing, and achieving the goal of fighting.
At present, Zhao Lie has more than 500 soldiers alone, and no less than 300 auxiliary soldiers. These soldiers must be included in the training plan, which requires regulations and detailed training regulations, reward and punishment mechanisms and lifting systems. Only in this way can they be an upward regular army rather than a grass-head army.
The Song army had very detailed plans for selecting soldiers, training, platoons and military systems, and Jiang Fenglie, who was born as a child, explained to Zhao Lie one by one.
"One of the soldiers was selected, and the imperial guards in this dynasty (Northern Song Dynasty) were the most severe. At that time, the army was fighting in the army, with bows and crossbows as the first priority. Infantrymen had to open one stone and five dou bows (equivalent to 122 kilograms), and the crossbows had to open seven stones before they could be selected. This was the strong force."
"There is also divided into three levels of upper, middle and final grades according to the art of shooting. A small number of war horses are equipped for the upper-class soldiers. The lower-level imperial guards are even responsible for miscellaneous tasks. Six-step long-shot piles, the six-arrow three-shot one is the best, the materials are 1,000 yuan, and the war horses are 1, and the six-arrow two-shot one is the second level, and the materials are 700 yuan, and the materials are 100 yuan, and the materials are 100 yuan, and the materials are 100 yuan, and the services are 1, and the soldiers are 1, and the performance is excellent...."
"At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty (Southern Song Dynasty), brave men were recruited to serve as envoys, and their effectiveness was also divided into three levels: "The first step was to shoot a bow with one stone and one dou, and the horse shot nine dou, and the material was a thousand dollars; the second step was to shoot a bow with one stone and eight dou, and the material was a hundred dollars; the third step was to shoot a bow with nine dou, and the horse shot seven dou, and the material was a five hundred dollars. The material was equivalent to the upper and middle commanders of the imperial guards."
Zhao Lie was shocked when he heard this. He was so obedient that he drove more than 100 kilograms of bows, shot eighty or ninety meters, and hit a shooting rate of fifty%. It was strong enough!
However, Jiang Fenglie then explained that most of the above are special practice bows for selection. People are afraid that the bow is not strong and they are rushing to use heavy bows, which is already the upper limit of the bow power. However, when fighting, such a heavy bow is not used. They will probably drop by two to three buckets on this basis.
Zhao Lie thought about it, he only shot six arrows in the game, and he shot straw targets. He did not have the psychological pressure to fight, and it was normal to perform normally or even extraordinary. If he really went to the battlefield, shooting thirty or forty is common. It would be strange if he took a strong bow with the upper limit of his physical strength.
After listening to Jiang Fenglie's story, Zhao Lie was surprised. He didn't expect that the Song Dynasty had such an advanced selection and incentive mechanism, and even the last-place elimination system commonly used by later enterprises. Since this is the case, there is no need to worry about it too much. If there is any ready-made one, use it. Of course, you have to add some of your own characteristics.
So at the suggestion of Zhao Lie, the generals discussed and approved it, and the Dragon Que Army was also the third grade of the upper, middle and lower grade.
Taking Musketeers as an example, they are divided into three grades according to their training scores: sixty-step half-body targets, ten shots are the best, wearing a round copper medal with a single round copper medal with a material cost of 500; ten shots are the medium medal with a second-class iron medal with a material cost of 300; ten shots are the third grade, and there is no pendant medal with a material cost of 100.
Due to the slow firing rate of muskets, it is good to defend the city, and you can lean against the wall to defend. If you encounter an enemy in the wild, you need to protect the enemy. At this time, the Song Dynasty's melee infantry was mainly gun-card players, holding a long spear in one hand and a side card in the infantry (a trapezoidal shield with wide top and a sharp bottom). When fighting with the enemy, you either use a short spear as a bracket and hold it behind the side card to resist the impact of enemy soldiers, assassinate the enemy soldiers with guns, or hold a gun with a card to block the enemy with a gun, and stab the enemy with a gun. Similar to the Spartans' gun-shield joint attack technique.
After watching, Zhao Lieguan also felt that it was good, so he decided to set up half of the musketeers and half of the gun players in each team. Such a "gun and shield joint attack technique" is considered invincible in this era.
The assessment of the gun player is similar to that of the musketeers. The number of key times of sprinting outside twenty steps is determined by sprinting the enemy soldiers. The top-level number of times of 10 spears is the best, the top-level number of 10 spears is the medium, and the top-level number of 10 spears is the third-level number of 10 spears is the lowest-level number of 10 spears is the treatment of 30 spears.
Soldiers of all levels are not static. They are assessed every two months. Those who fail the qualification will be re-examination once, but are still unqualified and are directly demoted to auxiliary soldiers. Those who have improved their grades can apply or recommend to join the special forces "Thunder Team". Only those who pass the strict examination (culture, loyalty, political review) will be qualified to join the team. This will form a healthy competition mechanism. As for the assessment and promotion of officers, it is not yet time to improve them slowly.
The Thunder Team is a fully breeched gun unit formed by Zhao Lixin. After Guo Dajiang and many craftsmen's research on the day and night, after the double-bar hunting rifle, the revolver has already been sampled. After further improvement, mass production is just around the corner. With the efforts of these top craftsmen in the Song Dynasty, I believe that in the near future, three consecutive shotguns and the May 4th pistols will appear one by one.
The Yuan army was rampant, the Song Dynasty was weaker, and the Jedi counterattacked, and time was too late. Zhao Lie could not only rely on a group of young men who had not yet grown up. He had to form another fully breeched gun unit. This unit must be the elite of the entire army. Due to the limitation of raw materials, the scale of this unit could not be too large, at most it could only be a few hundred people, so it was necessary to choose the best from the best, rather than be too little.
The first group of members of the Thunder Team have been in place, with fewer people than the Young Team, with only twelve people, including Jueyuan, Yang Zheng and others, five of the twenty-three righteous brothers who followed Chen Jizhou to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. They all came from the Zhongshun Team. The White Guard was Jiang Fenglie's personal guard, but the Zhongshun Army was not. They were just the warriors recruited and were not loyal to the main general. Of course, to join the Thunder Team, they had to swear allegiance to Zhao Lie. This was a hard rule and there was no room for negotiation.
There were hundreds of people in the Poulu camp, and only five were selected. The surrendered soldiers of the new affiliated army were not qualified to apply.
Zhao Lie was not in a hurry. Anyway, his guns had not been developed yet, so he could do it while researching and assessing them, so he would take his time.
Shi Yang agreed with Zhao Lie's new military training charter, but he was doubtful about one of them: "Why is it so low that the money is so small? The top-class soldiers are not as good as the second-class? I am so afraid that I can't recruit heroes!"
Zhao Lie asked back: "Did the Yuanlu pay the monthly salary for the new affiliated army?"
Shi Yang shook his head.
"Our court paid monthly salary, why did the officers and soldiers defeat the Shangyuan Army repeatedly? After surrendering to the Yuan army, the new affiliated army changed their appearance and showed their nature as a tiger and wolf?"
Shi Yang didn't think about it: "Of course it was because the war rewards were generous..."
"Yes! How can you get more money for the dead salary?" Zhao Lie blurted out and said the truth of the future generations that the generals present were completely confused, stood up and made a sound. "So, our army must also implement the system of military rewards. Is it a good man or a bad man, want to eat meat or drink soup, and the truth will be seen on the battlefield!"
