Chapter 74 The New Army

"New Army, the new army I want must not be the same as the previous garrison!"

Chongzhen felt that the ward system had a good side, but there were many problems.

Emperor Taizu Hongwu not only wanted to prevent the separatist situation of the vassal states in the former Tang Dynasty, but also wanted to solve the disadvantage of the lack of combat power in the Song Dynasty, so he established the garrison system.

When Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Chengzu were in power, the soldiers of these garrisons chased and died all the way, pressing the powerful empires like the Mongol Yuan to rub against their feet.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, which was once again reflected in the garrison system. The garrison system was decayed all the way, and by the time of Emperor Yingzong, even Emperor Yingzong was captured on the grassland by the Ola tribe on the grassland.

By the time of Chongzhen, even if the soldiers in the garrison were stronger than the double-sling soldiers of Mi Qing, they were probably limited in strength.

Nowadays, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's military garrison were not like professional soldiers, but were more like farmers who farmed, or tenants who were the generals of the military garrison.

In comparison, what Chongzhen admired the most was the professional army of the Rabbit Family Army, which was later called the Quezi Army.

Although the local army of the Hua family in later generations was teased by their own little rabbits as a local army, and its combat power was five, and they have always appeared in people's vision as a trash of soil, no one dared to underestimate the combat power of the local army - at least as one of the five major gangsters, they have fought against all the other four major gangsters.

The only time in history that the United Nations dispatched the so-called United Nations army was broken into the hands of this country army that was still millet and rifle at the time. After the Battle of North Korea, the United Nations army, which was embarrassed by the rabbit, simply changed its name to the peacekeeping force, and no so-called United Nations army ever appeared again.

If you talk too far, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the local army, just from the perspective of the military and civilian relationship, it will kill the troops of other countries.

Whether it is a flood or an earthquake, as long as there is danger, there will inevitably be a camouflage green body with a desolate body. The reaction of the people is, "Damn it, the military rabbit is here, you can rest assured-the common people of the rabbit family never have to worry about someone driving five pairs of wheels and live ammunition to rescue the disaster when there is a flood and earthquake.

Of course, this is the military rabbit from the flower planting family in later generations, and what about the Ming Dynasty?

"Run quickly, hide it! The army is coming soon!" He was just as fucked as the Japanese entering the village.

At that time or before the territorial army, bandits and soldiers were not just a joke, especially the guest army.

The local army even takes into account the incense of the villagers or the habit of not eating grass by the nest. Although it will cause trouble to the local people, the foreign guest Qiuba people have no such concern, and the disaster to the local people will be even more harsh.

Since Chongzhen knew how powerful the local army, which was a family member of the military and civilians, was, his goal was very clear. What he wanted was an army that could not be dragged down, defeated, and could integrate with the people.

In Chongzhen's eyes, the army should be an efficient killing machine, a violent institution in the imperial system that is specifically responsible for dealing with all unstable factors. Farming is a joke in itself. An army that is not a professional soldier cannot be called an army at all. It is better to call it a regiment training or a village chariot.

Therefore, Chongzhen said to Liu Xingzuo: "I know only about military affairs, but I still have to make a few requirements.

First, you will not rob food if you starve to death, you will not demolish houses if you freeze to death, and you will not take a needle or thread from the people.

Looking at the historical books, only the army generals of Yue Wumu can be said to be victorious in every battle. I think that the military discipline must have its advantages.

Being a soldier not only eats imperial food, but also protects the country, and protects the parents, wives and children behind him. Therefore, this military discipline must be strictly controlled.

The second is military discipline. As the saying goes, military orders are like mountains. Once a military order is issued, no matter whether there is a sea of ​​swords and fires in front of you, you have to travel to the ground. As long as there is no order to withdraw troops in the rear, you will not be allowed to take a step back until the last person.

This is the kind of strong army I want that cannot be dragged down or defeated.”

Liu Xingzuo heard this and said, "Your Majesty is very good. The military strategy is full of things. Invasion is like fire and not moving like a mountain. What he is talking about is this military discipline. Hearing drums on the battlefield and moving forward, and then retreating when he sounds gold. Just like using his fingers to fight, he can win every battle.

However, I still have some questions. If I abandon the sword and the musket alone, it is probably difficult to defeat the enemy. After all, the Jiannu cavalry is extremely fast, and if Jiannu rushed into the military formation, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Aren't there any cannons besides guns?

In addition to cannons, let’s study some of them are closer than muskets, but they also need to be equipped with stronger lethality?

What's more, a short-blade bayonet can be installed on this musket. If there is an enemy close to you, you can also fight against the enemy with a bayonet, right?

I went to find Ji Xiao’s new book and read it. There are many methods of using firearms to apply battle formations, and I also agree with it.

I think that as long as the logistics can keep up, a mere Jiannu will not be a concern.

However, you have to curry favor with Xu Aiqing. In the future, your equipment will be developed by their Royal Academy."

After laughing, Chongzhen continued, "In addition, only good children are recruited in this new army.

Anyone who has someone doing business in the family and someone who is an official in the family will not take any action.

All admitted people must be investigated for three generations, and they must be the children of innocent farmers who have cultivated for three generations before they can be admitted.

As for the investigation of the three generations, Liu Aiqing can seek help from Jinyiwei Tian Ergeng, and must keep a close eye on it."

"As the saying goes, if a soldier is a bear, I will entrust this new army matter to Liu Aiqing. Liu Aiqing must not let me down."

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he knelt on one knee and said in a polite manner in the march: "I will not let down Your Majesty's high expectations. If there is any mistake, I am willing to come and see you!"

When Liu Xingzuo and Xu Guangqi left the palace, Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I had almost finished all the things in my mind, and even talked about the national flag squad and military parade with Liu Xingzuo.

There are more things, no one knows so much about me, a programmer, and I am not a national defense student.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's life was indeed not very good, or the scholars of the Ming Dynasty did not worry a little.

The news from Tian Ergeng's troops of the Jinyiwei made Emperor Chongzhen furious again and raised the butcher knife in his hand again.
