Chapter 636 Change

With the common sense of modern people, the two armies hedge after meeting, and emerged through the formation, robbed the flag and seized the commander as a powerful general, and used this as a symbol of victory. In fact, when Zhao Bing came here, he realized that everyone was deceived by the storyteller. But the retreating cavalry that truly reflects the quality of a cavalry are often able to quickly find their commanders and military flags, complete the reorganization and re-enter the battle in a very short time.
Now Zhao Bing understands that the storyteller cannot be trusted, and some of the words of "populist" big names are worth pondering. On the contrary, the posts that are always criticized during the debate are close to the truth. However, it broadened his horizons in the squirting and allowed him to look at war with a prudent perspective. This can be said to be a careless way to plant willows. Who would have thought that the boring "not doing his job" that day would give him the foundation of his life in the world, at least grasp the trend of history, and be able to choose the most appropriate means.
In fact, in recent wars, European countries such as Britain and France had conflicts with nomadic peoples in their battle for colonies. Although there were victories and losses, the final result was the victory of the colonists. But some people would say that they used muskets, artillery, rather than swords and horses to ride and shoot. In fact, this was not the case with cavalry.
The tough opponents that France encountered in the colonial war were mainly in the Mediterranean region, while North Africa and the Near East were traditionally famous for their cavalry. At the Battle of Abukiir Gulf, Napoleon's French infantry and a large number of Ottoman Turkish troops were in a stalemate. At this time, General Murah led the French cavalry reserves to charge across the board. The Turkish army collapsed, and the French cavalry waved their sabers to drive the Turkish infantry and cavalry into the sea.
In the history of colonial expansion, European powers defeated all ancient nations with advanced weapons, but their cavalry, like their defeated opponents, used cold weapons rather than guns and cannons. Why did modern European cavalry take swords and swords with firearms? Marx once said: Gunpowder shattered the knight class. However, the cavalry did not disappear because of gunpowder weapons, but became increasingly the backbone of the assault forces on the battlefield.
In the early modern cavalry, the musket tactics called "semi-rotating" were also popular, but soon the firearms became auxiliary weapons. During the Napoleonic Wars, the French cavalry repeatedly dug out guns and fired to try to stop the charge of the opposite regular cavalry, and most of them were still overturned. Actual combat proved that compared with unreliable muskets, swords were the decisive weapon for the cavalry.
The cavalry defeated by European powers are usually far more skilled in the horse movement than the European cavalry, but their horse killing skills rely on generations to advance and self-exploration. However, the combat movements of modern European cavalry rely on the combination of practical experience and calculations, constantly rationalizing and standardizing, and eliminate all unnecessary movements. If someone thinks that the defeat of the Mongolian cavalry by the British and French cavalry was just a coincidence, and the Mongolian cavalry in the Genghis Khan era would not be like this, then he must study Chairman Mao’s quotations: “An army without culture is a stupid army, and a stupid army cannot defeat the enemy…”
Zhao Bing understands the truth, but how to operate it is, he is a little better than the two people on the other side, and he is also crossing the river by feeling the stones. However, he cannot show it yet, but it has nothing to do with face. If he doesn't have confidence, the people below will be more negative. So despite lack of confidence, Zhao Bing must bulge his stomach, not to worry about whether it is a treasure or a shit inside.
Now that the topic has begun, Zhao Bing will try to tell these two people about his ideas and purpose. What makes him embarrassed is that there is a generation gap between him and them for nearly a thousand years. It is really difficult to use the current language to explain it clearly. If he doesn't do it well, he has to regard himself as a monster. So he can only change his thinking, change his time and space, and use the "present" as ancient times. The war examples took place on another continent tens of thousands of miles away from the Song Dynasty. Anyway, no one in the Song Dynasty has been that far away. The content is the classic war examples in the colonial wars of modern countries such as Britain and France and the war ideas of famous generals, in order to broaden their thinking...
Zhao Bing talked about the fighting style and literacy of modern cavalry and nomadic cavalry. Napoleon encountered the famous Mamruk cavalry in the war invading Egypt. He admitted that a French cavalry would definitely not be able to defeat a Mamruk cavalry, but he said the following words: Three French cavalry can draw with three Mamruk cavalry, one hundred French cavalry can completely defeat one hundred Mamruk cavalry, and one thousand French cavalry can completely defeat two thousand Mamruk cavalry in one fell swoop.
Facts proved that Napoleon was right. Since the 19th century, Britain and France have been fighting for colonies around the world. Almost all the armies famous for cavalry have fought against cavalry. The cavalry has countless combat power against cavalry, and the British and French cavalry have shown obvious advantages over traditional cavalry. Why can they do it? Because they discovered that what can truly reflect the tactical qualities of cavalry are mainly the rapid transformation of the formation in the war; the short-term recovery after the collapse, the entire team, and the superb infantry, cavalry and artillery coordination capabilities, etc.
What is the root of the control of modern European cavalry? The comparison between the two cavalry, the most eye-catching performances in the colonial war, may be the best key to unlocking the control and combat effectiveness of cavalry. During the Napoleonic Wars, the famous British general Wellington once said: "One of our (cavalry) squadrons can match the two of France, but the four squadrons are less than their four, and the more they are, the less they can compare." The British cavalry has always been famous in Europe for their excellent horses and superb personal skills, but it is not as good as the French army when it rises to a certain scale, which is due to the gap in the control of cavalry between the two sides.
At that time, the entire French cavalry squadron was firmly controlled by a large number of officers and non-commissioned officers, and was divided into three parts: front-row command, squadron main body and rank of officers. The four parts of the squadron main body each had officers controlling the front row, and the two wings also had their own non-commissioned officers to ensure the control of the flanks. The formation was used as a cage, the officers and non-commissioned officers were locked, which effectively prevented the dispersion and escape of soldiers in combat.
The British cavalry also had a large number of officers, non-commissioned officers and guard ranks on both wings of the squadron, but the front command of the squadron was only one squadron leader. Will this cause the weak command of the front row? The large number of battle examples in the Napoleonic Wars prove this point-the British cavalry could not stop once the charge. They could rely on charges to defeat the French cavalry of multiple squadrons in many battles, but then almost without exception fell out of control. The soldiers charged and chased them desperately, and the order was dispersed, which was jointly massacred by the French cavalry reserves and the reorganized cavalry after the collapse.
From this we can infer that the number and position of officers and non-commissioned officers directly determine the strength of the control of modern cavalry and maintain the discipline and morale of the team. The stable and efficient training of officers and non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers benefited from modern European military education and military practices, which set them apart from the military heads of the traditional army and the sergeant commander in terms of military quality. Since the Renaissance Age, the non-commissioned officers level needs to understand a certain degree of mathematical knowledge in order to master the calculation ruler and change the formation according to the battlefield situation.
During the Napoleonic War, in the British cavalry practice, the queue transformation operation of four squadrons of a cavalry regiment that changed directions by about 45 degrees was stipulated that the entire operation required about thirty-two separate language instructions. In addition to riding and swordsmanship practice, officers should regularly practice formation transformations, or coordinated training on a larger scale with the assistance of non-commissioned officers.
Modern cavalry can ensure the full development of squadron and regiment-level coordinated training to cultivate organizational coordination and organizational control capabilities. For war, this is much more important than the so-called "riding from childhood" and personal martial arts. Systematic tactical training based on modern scientific computing to form timely and powerful control is an insurmountable "generation gap" between traditional cavalry and modern cavalry...
"Your Majesty wants to rebuild the army of the Song Dynasty based on the new army?" Lin Zhiwu listened for a long time. Although he didn't understand everything about His Majesty, he also understood that His Majesty wanted to play bigger this time.
"Well, I mean that's exactly what I mean!" Seeing that they finally got enlightened, I didn't say for a long time in vain, so I nodded and said seriously.
"Your Majesty, if this army is trained, it will definitely be invincible in the world, sweep all over the world, and achieve great achievements!" Chen Shishi said excitedly after hearing it for a long time.
"Yes, but this requires the joint efforts of our monarch and ministers. This is an unprecedented feat. It will create a new history of the Song Dynasty and reshape the country. You will definitely live in history forever!" Zhao Bing said with great enthusiasm. He knew that young people need not only praise, but also passion. Although the pie is painted a bit big, it is also necessary. This always makes them unable to see much better hope.
"I am willing to serve you so hard, help Your Majesty achieve success and achieve unparalleled achievements!" The two of them were originally washed by Zhao Bing for a long time, and their blood was boiling when they heard it. They stood up and saluted them together.
"Okay, let's create history!" Zhao Bing also stood up and stretched out his hands. Unfortunately, they didn't understand the meaning and had no intention of swearing with him at all, so they had to retract their hands awkwardly.
"Your Majesty, it's already three o'clock. Let's take a break soon. I'll accompany the Queen Mother to burn incense tomorrow!" Su Lan said at this time.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates will leave. The revised regulations will be submitted within three days!" Lin Zhiwu knew that he was issuing an order to expel guests, so he hurriedly said.
"Oh, there is another thing to pay attention to!" Zhao Bing stopped them who were retreating.
"What else does Your Majesty have to give?" The two of them could only stop and salute again.
"Most of the soldiers have never been to school. When writing regulations and regulations, be careful not to use sour and difficult words. They should be straightforward and easy to understand, concise and easy to remember." Zhao Bing said that he had been in this society for more than three years, but he was still not used to those who were liked and prefer plain language. The guard camp and the old camp were also influenced by him. They often used verbal language and taught in vernacular language, so that people could understand it at first glance, and it was hard for others to say.
"Your Majesty..." Su Lan said in a deep voice again.
"Okay, Sister Su is angry, I'm going to rest!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile, and quickly waved his hand to let the two of them take their leave.
After watching the two left, Zhao Bing yawned a few times before he felt tired. He wanted to spend some time in the study, but Su Lan insisted on asking him to return to the dormitory so that he would not get up and be busy with official duties again. Zhao Bing was so lazy that he was washed and changed his clothes while waiting for him. He fell asleep deeply when his head was touched by the pillow. But he didn't know how long he slept, and he was awakened by the sound of drums. After counting, it was already ugly and three hours, he had only slept for more than an hour, and he had been more than an hour before dawn.
Zhao Bing wanted to try his best to fall asleep, but no matter how he couldn't sleep, he wanted to get up and go to the study room, but opened the curtain and saw Su Lan sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed. Thinking about his busyness for a while, the servants also followed him. As a close maid, Su Lan always stayed with him. Only by resting can she sleep for a while, and then she gave up the idea of ​​getting up.
Since he couldn't fall asleep and couldn't get up, he had to lie on the bed and think about it. He suddenly felt that people were really interesting. At first, he was busy with his life, but now he won this battle and can at least maintain peace for several years. If he was lucky, he could talk to Kublai Khan about conditions and make peace with him to be an overseas vassal king and spend his life in peace. But with several victories, he became emperor, but he became restless again, thinking about restoring the glory of the Song Dynasty and returning to the Central Plains. But what if this goal is achieved? Will he have to conquer the Eurasian continent and become the emperor of the ages!
"Haha..." Zhao Bing suddenly felt a little stupid when he thought of this, and couldn't help laughing out loud. He wanted to think that in his previous life, he could do some careers all day long, realize his desire to buy a house and a car in this second-tier city, and be able to make a position in the company's senior management, and it would be best to make the first pot of gold, raise funds and start a business, and create his own world. This is very satisfying.
"His Majesty……"
Hearing Su Lan's soft cry, Zhao Bing realized that his dry laughter woke her up, so she didn't say anything, but turned over and pretended to sleep, otherwise she would have to get up to check again. After a while, she heard Su Lan snoring and then turned around and put her arms around her to join in. If she really started her own career in her previous life, would one day she would blindly expand like a "boss" when the market was good, exhausted her funds, and lost all her money when the market was in trouble?
"It will definitely happen!" After thinking for a while, Zhao Bing was sure that he could do it, because he himself did not believe that he was a saint, and desires would never be satisfied, just like the current self who saved his life, became emperor, controlled the government, but in the name of restoring the country, he thought about getting more, and could find enough reasons to support his desires. When someone made the right decision, he would try to avoid it, and even use his private rights to pursue his desires.
