Chapter 168
"I inspected the camp alone, and found that the generals in the army are very different in ability. Although some of them are brave in battle and charge, and their martial arts are also excellent, they only care about their own bravery. They only know how to practice martial arts, and they don't know anything about leading an army."

Liu Bowen turned his head sideways and said after listening: "Since the Song Dynasty, culture has been valued more than martial arts. Killing the enemy is worse than a few flattery in the court. Literati look down on warriors, and warriors don't bother to read long-winded articles.

There are too few people capable of writing and martial arts, and such generals who lead troops in battle are very rare. "

"There are quite a few small factions in the army. They are very dissatisfied with orders and don't pay much attention to firearms. After fighting with the Yuan thieves on weekdays, they just drink and eat meat and talk about women. They don't have the splendor of an army of martial arts. The Ming army is the destiny. Mr. Liu will go down and make arrangements, and he will only give a lecture after the assembly."

Zhu Biao intends to brainwash them first, to wash away laziness and disunity.

Liu Bowen arranged for a lecture in the afternoon, and Zhu Biao was not idle. He asked Zhu Di and Li Dabangzi to replace the old military flag with the newly made Ming military flag, and prepared a lot of war drums.

As the sun set in the west, the flag of the Ming Dynasty fluttered in the wind, and more than a dozen big drums were placed neatly around the training ground.

Xu Da stood not far away watching this scene and said to Xu Miaowei: "Why didn't Dad go, do you know the reason?"

"Father, I don't know what you mean."

"Assist." Xu Da said two words and went back to the big tent: "Let me know if there is any progress."

Xu Miaowei nodded.

……

"Have you seen the big flag? This is the symbol of Ming Dynasty. If the people are alive and the flag is alive, the big Ming flag will never fall.

One chopstick is hard to break, but ten chopsticks can't be broken. Standing here today, we only have one name, Daming Army.There is only one common goal, Beiyuan!
Don't engage in any gangs from the east to the west, fish from the south and horses from the north, you must unify your goals today, have you marked it down? "

The generals said: "Remember it."

"These days, Gu sees that the brothers are practicing formations. From tomorrow onwards, we will start a new drill called Daming Special Warfare Practice. Only by doing more actual combat practice can we quickly gain combat experience.

Achieve unity of purpose, unity of command, and unity of practice.

The Guhui will divide you into two teams and conduct drills. If you win, you will eat braised pork and white steamed buns, and if you lose, you will eat cornbread and vegetable soup for Gu. "

Zhu Biao's voice was powerful and powerful, and Na Ren could hear it clearly in the iron cage. She felt that the Ming prince was very scary.

Like a stick that disturbed her restlessness.

……

"If it's like what His Highness said in the martial arts training ground just now, training soldiers all the time, practicing actual combat all the time, they are one piece, and they are only under the command of one general, and it is dangerous to control them in the future." Liu Bowen said frankly: "Since ancient times, dividing military power is something you must do. Things."

Zhu Biao knew what Liu Bowen meant. He was afraid that someone who would master and train elite soldiers would develop into usurpation of power and throne.

"Mr. Liu is kind enough to understand that Gu intends to select ten outstanding generals, train them by Gu, and then let them specialize in military training. You can first set up ten battalions with 500 people as a battalion, and train them to fight, scout, and fight against the enemy. Ability to fight armies.

When the generals leading the troops fight, when encountering emergencies, they play the role of dispatching the battlefield. Not everything has to be done in person and left to others.

In addition, even if the general is suddenly lost in battle, the soldiers can cooperate according to the battlefield situation at that time. "Zhu Biao said.

Liu Bowen understood what he meant: "This changes the saying that the king should be captured before the thief is captured. Even without the command of the general, we can still fight according to our adaptability."

"That's almost what it means," Zhu Biao nodded to Liu Bowen: "The generals who lead the troops have to study the art of war every night, and the soldiers have to be trained to be brave and good at fighting. Even if they can't find a general, they will be invincible."

He wanted to tell them some modern words in a way that Liu Bowen and the others could understand.

"Which of you has read books and knows how to read?" Liu Bowen stood by and asked the group of soldiers.

The soldiers standing in the first row and those behind shook their heads.

Zhu Biao's eyes slowly swept across the neatly standing soldiers, and seeing that no one could read and write, he said with some disappointment: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read, I can ask you to read it for you, and you must make up for it later."

Creak...creak.

The wooden cart pulls two large carts of round-headed wooden spears and wooden knives, and the wooden swords are placed in the martial arts arena, which cannot hurt anyone.

"Listen well, those with red scarves stand on the left, those with black scarves stand on the right, each chooses a special wooden spear and wooden knife, and starts actual combat drills.

I will teach you that when we go to the battlefield in the future, don't be afraid if there are many enemies, and don't be afraid if we don't have horses.

You guys, take a knife when you should hold a knife, shoot a cannon when you should light a fire, shoot arrows when you should shoot arrows, attack a city when you should attack a city, fight to the death next to you, and love your concubine, it is none of your business, do what you should made.

What you should do in the future, you will know in a while. "

Zhu Biao said seriously, and signaled them to quickly form two teams: "Eat braised pork if you win, and drink vegetable soup if you lose."

Glancing at Zhu Biao, Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand, and two rows of gang leaders set up cauldrons around the martial arts arena and lit a fire to cook.

On one table was a pig, on the other a wooden pot of wild vegetables.

All the soldiers put on their armor, and the cavalry and infantry were ready.

Zhu Biao sat on the high platform of the martial arts arena, and Chang Yuchun next to him said: "It's been a long time since I ate meat, these guys will practice desperately today."

"This effect is all that is needed."

"Li Dabangzi brings the five hundred elites here, and Liu Hu brings the elites here." Zhu Biao pointed out to Chang Yuchun: "The quality of the elites on Liu Hu's side is higher than that of Li Dabangzi."

"Then why doesn't His Highness train Liu Hu's team specifically?" Xu Miaowei said.

"The wooden barrels are of different heights, so how much water depends on which one?" Zhu Biao turned to look at her and said, "The shortest one."

"An elite army can win every battle to a large extent. It has nothing to do with the most powerful people, but depends on the whole. It depends on the weak parts that cannot be ignored.

The elite are always a minority, and most soldiers are far from meeting the requirements.The outcome depends on most of the soldiers. "

The black scarf and red scarf teams, following the method of the Northern Yuan cavalry, started actual combat. Zhu Biao simulated all possible emergencies in the grassland battle.

The firearms soldiers also stepped up their practice.

Now that the throat to the grassland in Shanxi can be broken, will the road to the heart be far away?

……

Shen knew whether he handed over Lu Yin to Xiao Lian, and sat in the carriage again: "Let's go."

"Miss." Xiao Lian was a little hesitant, she also wondered if Mu Ying would come to see her.

There are many sellers of medicinal materials and furs in the city, and there are also a lot of horse gear. On both sides are places where vendors set up small stalls to do business.

A small opera was sung on a stage not far away. It was about a general who had not yet returned from the battle, and his wife stood on the stage singing with snot and tears.

Xiao Lian was sitting in the carriage, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"What's the matter? It's not good to go back to Nanjing?" Shen Zhishi put on his veil, glanced at the overcrowded stage and said, "Instead of worrying so much, why not do something else to solve his problems."

Xiaolian nodded.

 I have the cheek to ask for a vote, thank you for your support.
