Xinshun 1730

Chapter 180
This can be regarded as a characteristic of adapting measures to local conditions.

The Junggar Department does not have well-trained line infantry, and the number of skirmishers harassing and pinning down in the front row does not need to be too large. It is enough to rely on your own line infantry to fight.

If they fight Junggar, the imperial court will definitely dispatch cavalry from the north, and the Qingzhou Army does not need to organize and train cavalry by itself, but only leaves a company of heavy cavalry as seeds.

Junggar has a city, so it needs a dedicated engineering unit.

Considering the Junggar cavalry, it is also necessary for each battalion to provide light artillery for supporting firepower.

With the organizational strength at this time, the smallest company can be used as a combat unit, which is far ahead of the times.

The premise is that you need to have enough officers. For the infantry in the formation system alone, there are nearly two to three hundred officers at the first level of the company.

As for the heavy cavalry company as the seed, eight officers were directly stuffed in.

Such a proportion of trained officers is the source of Liu Yu's self-confidence, and of course it is also the bait for the emperor to open up Liangjiazi education and establish more basic education schools in the future.

As trainee military officers, some of them are dropouts from Wude Palace, and some of them are sons of good families who have received the most basic education.

As for the cavalry, there is no other way.

The military salary given by the imperial court is not enough, and there is no money to train a regular cavalry unit.

A regular cavalry unit doesn't need soldiers from the Songhuajiang Mansion who know how to ride a horse since they were young. They can be trained by catching a group of people who have never ridden a horse.

The thinking of the imperial court is still the thinking of the previous dynasty. The various ministries gather and send special leaders to pinch them together.

This cooperation, although there will definitely be problems.But considering the level of Junggar, this problem is not too big.

The compromise idea is to adopt a new tactical system, emphasizing the mobility and speed of infantry changes, and relying on infantry to conquer the world, instead of relying on the cavalry drawn by the court to make good cooperation.

The role of the staff is to draw up various tactical plans and make adequate preparations.With Dashun's stature, undefeated is victory.

Liu Yu doesn't care much about various training arrangements.

The students in this batch of staff class inherited his tactical thinking and explained the truth. The specific training plan is formulated by them, and they can just follow the steps.

After Liu Yu asked about the specific situation of the training, he asked, "Before autumn, do you think it is possible to make the Qingzhou Army look like a battle-ready soldier?"

Wu Fangrui thought about it for a while and said: "No problem. My lord, what needs to be solved right now is the details of the formation, and the time for the formation is still a bit slow now. Even if there are factors that are not enough drills, there are also some drills that are not very good. Right place."

"Ah."

Liu Yu knocked on the training log they wrote on the table and said: "If there is anything wrong, just bring it up for discussion and research. Three cobblers, the best Zhuge Liang. The chief officers of each company and battalion, you also Ask more. Discuss and research together. I just know the general idea, have ideas, and understand the general idea. I can use this tactical system as the yardstick to measure right and wrong; but you let me write everything out, That would be difficult."

Wu Fangrui nodded and said: "My lord is right. This kind of thing is very complicated, so there are more than [-] people in the staff department, and they are also researching it. According to my lord's request, there should be no problem in autumn. Next spring, it should be possible Carry out the long-distance marching training of the Qingzhou Army. The key is that the guns are often damaged now, which is not enough, and if it is damaged, it will be even more insufficient."

"One more thing, the lack of guns is still a trivial matter, and I think the adults can solve it. But the issue of the reserve soldiers, the adults should also write to His Majesty."

"Now that there are 9000 people, one dies and one less. The way adults train soldiers is to pass on. Ordinarily, there are 9000 people now, and some recruits should be arranged among them, so that the flow can continue. Otherwise, how can these people be replenished after they are defeated?" member?"

What he said hit the point, and Liu Yu was quite helpless about it.

There is a big problem with the military system of the imperial court, and it costs money to raise soldiers.

Train some reserve soldiers on weekdays... With the organizational strength at this time, the good family members can also be organized.Let's talk about some tenants, food is a problem, and asking them to give up their farm work for training is tantamount to ruining their families.

Owner farmers are better, but the number of owner farmers is a problem.

It has its own national conditions here.

The best way is to recruit victims of disasters as soldiers.There are famines every year, and we are not afraid that there will be no victims.

The question is whether the imperial court can come up with this money?
Dashun's financial revenue and expenditure can be said to be stretched. The huge country simply does not have much money left, especially for disaster relief.

There is no solution to this matter for the time being, Liu Yu had no choice but to say: "If this matter is to be resolved, it depends on how the fight will be in the future. If you fight well, whatever you say is right. Well, that is rhetoric, talking on paper. People, especially the ministers of the DPRK and China, are extremely realistic."

Liu Yu had his own ideas about this matter, but in the end it was the same sentence, there was a problem with Dashun's military system, and it was the entire military system that needed to be changed, not just a Qingzhou soldier.

Dashun neither needs the conscription system, nor does it have the grassroots control of the conscription system, nor does it have the material conditions for the conscription system.

Instead, what is needed is the Xiang Army of the Song Dynasty.

The country is vast, and there are disasters every year. If there are only [-] or [-] victims in one year, you can go to the Temple of Heaven to say "good weather".

Select the young and strong among the victims, each of them will pay a lower military salary, and do some basic training such as queuing and firing guns.Once the war starts, people will be picked from here to supplement, and the number of soldiers is not a problem at all.

But even the minimum military pay has to be enough to feed people.

Most of them must have no wives and children, but they didn't jump out of the cracks in the rocks, and they had to raise parents.

If even father and mother are not allowed to be raised by soldiers, then such soldiers can't be said to have any combat effectiveness. They can't all be like what Liu Yu did in Shandong, and the family's death is the priority.

This requires a complete change in the military system, abolishing a group of useless troops, and freeing up military pay to support them.

There is no rush for this matter, and it is useless to think about it now, so he said: "You can consider this matter, but you should still focus on training troops."

"I still say that words are useful only if you can fight. For such important military affairs, you will think about it after you are promoted. As for whether you can be promoted, it depends on how well the soldiers train."

"The opportunity is rare, you have to seize it. It's not for me, it's for yourselves. You know, you are still only candidate officers and have not yet become full-time officers. Do you understand?"

All the staff officers stood up and said, "Understood."

"Okay, since you understand, then continue training. If you have any problems, come to me. The reason for the monsoon, the French will come again in three to five months. I need to let them know that we are a meaningful ally. Hurry up."

"Yes!"

After they dispersed, Liu Yu didn't go to see the army's training.This is a slow process of integration. It only takes a few months from being full to training. It will take some time before we can see whether we can fight. There is no need to look for problems now.

He still went to see the navy that he was most concerned about first, even though the navy didn't even have a warship at this time.

On the beach, a group of shirtless soldiers were practicing rope climbing on the ropes and net ropes placed on the beach, and the officers shouted loudly from below.

On the sea in the distance, several training ships were full of people, who were getting familiar with seasickness.

On some small boats, rowing is being practiced.

Most of the sailors are landlubbers. Even if they can swim, it may be the first time to board a ship.But fortunately, most of the alternate officers were landlubbers before, and they were full of patience for these soldiers who were not good at all.

The proportion of candidate officers is very high, and the ratio of the number of sailors to the military training method of mentoring and mentoring makes each candidate officer and candidate non-commissioned officer only need to train a dozen people.

Most of the alternate officers are waiting eagerly, waiting for the real battleship to arrive.

On the beach not far away, a group of sailors were taking a short rest. They were tired and tired, and the weather was still cold, but they were lying on the beach unwilling to move.

Liu Yu walked over, and even though the sailors were reluctant, they all quickly got up and saluted.

Among the crowd, Liu Yu saw a sailor he recognized, and he changed his name, and shouted, "Zhang Erbiao, come here."

Zhang Erbiao, who changed his name from Zhang Hu to Zhang Erbiao, ran over when he heard that Liu Yu still remembered his name.

After saluting, he called out to his lord.

"How is it, how do you feel?"

"Go back to the adults, eat enough, and dress warmly. Although the daily training is a little tiring, I am no longer seasick, and I can climb ropes."

"Well, it's good. I remember that several of your brothers and sisters are here, right?"

"Yes. It was chosen by Mr. Mi Gao. The elder brother Da Biao was not in the army, but chose to go to Vladivostok; the younger brother San Biao was a drummer in the Qingzhou Army; the fourth sister is now in Yixue School. I met a few days ago and can already write names. gone."

Speaking of his younger sister's ability to write her name, Zhang Erbiao naturally showed a happy expression on his face. Although he didn't know the words at all, when he saw his younger sister scratching out some words with a wooden stick on the beach, he felt so happy. This kind of mysterious feeling is really indescribable.

The less I can read, the more I feel that there is infinite magic in the words.

At first, she was worried that her sister would be sold to the bustard, but unexpectedly, she actually learned to read.The only thing that makes him feel a little awkward is that boys and girls study together, which makes him feel weird.

But it's hard to say anything, I just think that I'm still young anyway, and when I grow up in the future, maybe I will study separately.

Now the third brother is working as a drummer in the army, and the younger sister is also studying on the island, but the eldest brother is going to Vladivostok, which he has never heard of before.

He was already a bit courageous, seeing that Liu Yu still remembered his name, he boldly asked, "My lord, where is this Vladivostok? Will I still see my brother in my life?"

The policy is all set by Liu Yu, and he didn't answer the question directly, but asked with a smile: "Have you seen your sister-in-law?"

"seen."

All those who went to open up wasteland were married here.It's similar to breeding animals. Number the recruited female disaster victims, draw lots, and whoever gets the land reclamation will be the one.

In the frontier, there are more men than women.If they immigrated normally, women would definitely choose those local land households first, rather than those who went to reclaim wasteland.

The soldiers on the other side of the Songhua River offered a very high price. A woman could be exchanged for a horse, and a young and strong long-term worker could be exchanged for a cow.

Liu Yu is quite satisfied with this price, after all, in a famine year, one person may be worth four or five corn pancakes.

He helped some people, and it didn't cost much at all. He arranged for people to open up the grain storage and immigration lines from Vladivostok to the Songhua River and the mouth of Heilongjiang River. There was a shortage of large animals.One person trades one cow, and he is still responsible for transporting the cows and horses to the designated place, which is a huge profit.

Zhang Erbiao felt that Liu Yuxing was benevolent and he was really a good official.

It was almost a dream to ask for a wife in their capacity, but I didn't expect my cousin to draw a lottery, and the age was just right, and he seemed to be fertile and able to work.

Speaking of this, he felt a little grateful in his heart, but after all he still cared about his cousin's whereabouts, waiting for Liu Yu to tell him where Vladivostok was.
