Chapter 43: Go home, click the general to parade (3)

August 9, 1590 AD. Early morning.

The Wuzhai Fort is located about 300 meters outside the fort. The martial arts hall, watchtower and teaching ground are mixed in. Usually, this is the place where the Wuzhai Fort Guard will meet in autumn every year.

However, in recent years, the garrisons were corrupt. In addition to some servants of the Huang family who came to practice, the soldiers in the fort usually had a rare opportunity to come here. In addition to the annual autumn training, this place has become a playground for children in the Wuzhaibao for most of the year.

However, today, all the children who were playing here were driven away because the Qianhu of Huang Laifu was going to raise the flag and arrange generals here today and practice military horses.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the trumpet drummer on the court was already blowing loudly. The Qing Dao soldiers, holding a big banner, opened the road in front. Huang Laifu was wearing iron-leaf armor, surrounded by the servants, rode a horse, stern reins in his hands, and carried a knife bag on his waist, and entered the court with high spirits from the horse road.

When entering the Martial Arts Hall, the flag secretary, drummer, and other officers were already serving outside the Martial Arts Hall. He Chaoxun, He Deputy Thousand Houses, Jiang Yongsheng, Jiang Baijia, Yang Anzhang, Yang Baijia, Li An, Li Cheng, Han Bing and other officers were already clean and clean, standing aside, waiting for Huang Laifu to get promoted to the tent.

Huang Laifu walked in, and everyone knelt on one knee, bowed to Huang Laifu with fists. Huang Laifu nodded slightly and sat down in the middle. The officers stood up and sat down in the east and west walls.

As soon as Huang Laifu sat down, his armor leaves sounded. Today he wore a six-petal bright iron helmet, a rubbing knife, and a set of bright armor passed down from the ancestors of the Huang family. It was made of pure iron and weighed 57 kilograms.

Fortunately, Huang Laifu is strong, so he feels light when wearing it, and he doesn't feel anything. If someone else had changed, the iron armor alone would be unbearable.

The Ming Dynasty's armor has always been heavy, often 50 kilograms and 60 kilograms. Nine years later, the Ming Dynasty reformed the armor. It reduced its weight, but a pair of armor still generally had 35 kilograms.

After the Hongzhi year, all the six-petal bright helmets equipped by the generals of the various garrisons were replaced with eight-petal hat helmets. However, because it was inherited by the ancestral tradition, Huang Laifu still wore 57 kilogram armor and six-petal bright iron helmets.

Today is a military parade of thousands of households, so naturally everyone has to wear armor. However, in the Wuzhai Fort, there are armor on their bodies.

Apart from Huang Laifu, there were only a few hundred officers, even the general flags and small flags, and there were no armor, let alone ordinary flag soldiers.

At this time, He Chaoxun, He Deputy Qianhu and several hundred households were all equipped with vermilion target hobs. They were either wearing lock mail, or wearing blue cloth lace armor and leather helmets. The grade of the armor was much lower than that of Huang Laifu.

In addition, several general flags also wore red patent leather helmets on their heads and some iron mesh skirts and mesh pants on their bodies.

As for the ordinary flag soldiers on the field, they were all without armor. They were all wearing a fat jacket dress of the Ming Dynasty soldiers. The fat jacket was knee-length, narrow sleeves, cotton inside, and red on the outside.

This kind of military uniform is scientifically called Yuanyang Zhanlu. The nickname is Hongfa Pao. In addition to the redfa Pao, the soldiers also wore military shoes called Pangmao pants and shoes. These military shoes are usually given a pair for three years.

After Huang Laifu's lecture, the exercise began. In addition to Sun Gui, Han Ming's two poliests, He Chaoxun and He Deputy Qian, some of the Huang family's servants stood at the scene, and each hundred households returned to their own queues in the competition.

Urge the soldiers to arrange their formations.

The flag soldiers in the comparison field are now basically working in various farms of Wuzhai Fort. These soldiers have sufficient food in various farms of Wuzhai Fort.

During the hard work of the farm, their physical condition is now better than before, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. Moreover, their daily collective labor on the farm is also more disciplined than before.

From hard days to good days, all these flag soldiers were grateful to Huang Laifu.

But to be honest, Huang Laifu found that there were many people here who could work on the farm, but as soldiers, they couldn't. After a long time, they were still noisy below and couldn't line up.

In addition, although they worked on the farm, they could eat and drink enough now, since Huang Laifu had not replaced his post in the past, except for the Huang family's servants, the military uniforms and weapons of the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort had never been replaced, and they looked worn out and did not look like a soldier at all.

But it is no wonder that they are the main forces in the battles outside. The main forces of the battle are all battalions from various towns. The guards are now just guarding the city and garrisoning the fields. In terms of operation, it is rare to use two or three times a year. Therefore, the messy situation at this time is understandable.

After finally waiting for the soldiers to set up their formation, Huang Laifu looked down from the Martial Arts Hall and saw various flags flying in the field, including blue flags, red flags, yellow flags, black flags, etc., which made him dazzled.

At this time, most of the military camp exercises in the Ming Dynasty were the ancient eight formations, or the Triassic formations and the Four-Sected Arrays. After Qi Jiguang's military training methods emerged, many generals and officials from the border town also switched to Qi's military training techniques.

However, most of the garrisons still follow the ancient formations, and the same is true for the Five Village Forts.

The exercise started, and the drums were sounding and the flags were flying. The soldiers below walked around, mixed and shouted loudly, which was quite beautiful. Huang Laifu was as big as a fight. This was the result of the hard work of He Chaoxun and Deputy He Qianhou.

In the entire Wuzhai Fort, in addition to He Chaoxun and He Deputy Qian outdoors, each hundred household flag can also understand some of the use of golden drum instruments. As for the various flags, they are completely unaware of them.

All everyone can do is to train themselves to be strong and then take a team of servants to rush forward. If these people are allowed to command, it will be difficult for them.

Looking at the situation below, He Vice Qianhu stood tall next to Huang Laifu with a lustful face. It was already very good to be able to be so good at acting.

To be honest, the current Wuzhai Fort soldiers are already very good in various garrisons, at least in terms of discipline and physical condition.

Huang Laifu rubbed the handle of the knife with his hands, and kept silent. The situation in front of him was obviously too far from what he expected in his heart. His future army would not only be strong, but also bend forward when he went into battle and scattered when he retreated, nor would it be used only to defend the city.

The following soldiers were performing the situation, with flags flying, and walking around. The colorful colors were very colorful. However, according to Qi Jiguang's actual military training, how could the murder be used to look good? This situation is just a typical mob.

Huang Laifu thought deeply, and it seemed that the organization of the Wuzhai Fort flag soldiers would be brought down and started over.

After letting the generals disperse, it was a fact that they would train again. After returning to Qianhu House, Huang Laifu had been considering which training method he should choose.

Huang Laifu came from later generations and was influenced by his knowledge. He naturally had a little knowledge of the training methods of China and foreign countries in ancient times. There were also some training methods of modern China and foreign countries in his computer.

After careful consideration, Huang Laifu finally had two choices: training and Spanish phalanx.

In modern times, there were two methods of training in China and abroad, which were famous. One was General Qi Jiguang's training record in the Ming Dynasty, and the other was the Spanish square formation in the West.

Both of these can be said to be awesome. The Spanish phalanx has been in the West without rivals from the 16th to the mid-17th century.

Similarly, Qi Jiguang of his contemporaries had no rivals in the entire East.

During the era when Qi Jiguang led his troops, he often won more than one hundred, but he suffered very little casualties. For example, in the 40th year of Jiajing, the Qi family army killed more than 1,000 Japanese pirates, and only three casualties were killed or killed in his own family.

During the Battle of Taizhou, the Qi family army killed more than 5,500 Japanese pirates, and the total casualties of their own were less than 20. Even in the north, when facing the Tatar cavalry, they often defeated the few, which can be said to be invincible.

Both methods are good military training methods, but which one is more suitable for you? In the end, Huang Laifu decided to focus on military training.

The main reason is that this method is more suitable for the situation of the Ming sergeants. After all, the Qi family army has a good method here, and the good results are also here.

After the Spanish phalanx is formed, will it become something with Chinese characteristics, and finally change its flavor and reverse effect?

On the one hand, the grinding of ideological conflicts and tempering is also the limitations of actual conditions that Huang Laifu had to choose to train in the military first.

What are the conditions? It is firearms. The Spanish phalanx requires a large number of firearms and a large number of cannons, which is something that Huang Laifu currently does not have.

At this time of the Ming Dynasty, many of the firearms were of poor quality, and the other was that the state was managed strictly. In the fifth year of Xuande, there was an imperial edict: "The magic gun is valued by the state. It is in Biandun Fort, and it is given as a force to strengthen the army's power. Do not give it lightly.

"In the sixth year of Zhengtong, the border general Huang Zhen and Yang Hong set up the Divine Gun Bureau in Xuanfu Dushi. The emperor used firearms to build firearms, but he was ordered to stop them. It was not until the 36th year of Jiajing that he was asked to set up quick guns, lead bullets and gunpowder for the host and guest officers and soldiers.

Generally, when the firearms are produced, they must be approved by the court, and only some hand-knit guns with the font size "王" are built. For example, the magic guns such as the characters "王", "天" and "天" can only be manufactured by military battles.

The management of firearms is so strict and the quality is not good. Huang Laifu went there all at once to find so many excellent firearms? So the Spanish phalanx can only get aside at the moment.

In fact, according to Huang Laifu's view, in this era, as long as you strictly follow Qi Jiguang's training methods, have strict discipline, and sufficient food and excellent weapons, you will be invincible in this eastern world.

Of course, some good things in the army in modern and later generations can be improved and integrated into the war after they become familiar with the training. At present, it is better to strictly follow Qi Jiguang's training methods first.

There is a saying that you learn to walk first, then you will run away, you will run away, and then you will fly later.
