Chapter 126 Musketeers! Han Liner died in battle(1/4)
In fact, it is not something that ordinary people can sit up as the position of the new army's logistics chief.
"The logistics supply of the Xinjun must be completed according to the standards I set, and please do not make any mistakes."
As Zhu Han said, he handed over the new army logistics system he had formulated to Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang took it and looked at it carefully. However, he became more and more frightened when he looked at it. He couldn't help but say before he even finished reading it: "Deputy Commander, this new army's logistics is so luxurious!"
"Mr. Li, you might as well speak out." Zhu Han said with a smile.
"Deputy Commander, your new army's logistics is a big deal. I have never seen such a high configuration. Just military rations alone, it costs 100,000 taels of silver! And there is another 100,000 taels of meat and vegetables here. Oh, and there are also regular emergency rations for each soldier. This is simply better than the food of our Wu Wangfu personal guards! Isn't such a high supply too much?"
Li Shanchang couldn't help but sigh.
"This is formulated to train the new army. The combat effectiveness of the new army will be in line with the personal guards of the King of Wu's mansion in the future!" Zhu Han said,
Zhu Han set strict standards for the supply of the new army. Each soldier could get one and a half pounds of staple food, about half a pound of vegetables and meat, and even one or two taels of candied rice fruits every day. This made Li Shanchang look so eye-catching. A group of rough men who served in the army could eat so well every day. Ordinary landlords and old money were not so generous to eat and drink!
"Deputy Commander, even if that's the case, that's too much. In my opinion, even if it's cut by half, it's still very wealthy. For example, changing meat and vegetables to meals every three days is also a good idea." Li Shanchang was in charge of the logistics of the Red Turban Army, so he naturally knew what standard the ordinary Red Turban Army soldiers were eating.
An ordinary Red Turban soldier can eat staple food every day, but the fish, meat, meat, and fish are all improved every three days. If you follow the auxiliary soldiers' standards, it will take five or six days to have a meal.
"No, sir, you may not know that my new army needs to be trained every day, and you cannot hold on without meat or fish." Zhu Han shook his head and said.
"What? Deputy Commander, do you think the new army needs to practice every day?" Li Shanchang was shocked again.
There are ordinary troops who practice every ten days, but they practice every five days, but they are considered elite.
Zhu Han is so good that it is absolutely unheard of Li Shanchang.
"That's right, it's just practice every day!" Zhu Han repeated with a smile.
"Deputy Commander, practice every day. What a powerful formation is this?" Li Shanchang couldn't help asking.
Zhu Han shook his head, "Actually, there is not a very powerful formation. The purpose is to cultivate their temperament and turn them into soldiers who unconditionally execute military orders on the battlefield!"
The high-intensity training of soldiers naturally requires some special means, which will inevitably have higher requirements for the physique of these soldiers.
Although Li Shanchang felt that this method might not be too good, he did not dare to refute it.
"Deputy Commander, can such a new army develop a combat power within one year?" Li Shanchang couldn't help asking.
When Zhu Han heard Li Shanchang's question, he couldn't help but smile and said, "One year? That's too long. To be honest, according to my method, it only takes three months to train and keep strengthening the army!"
"What? Is the deputy coach true?" Li Shanchang was shocked again.
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to Mr. Li?" Zhu Han said with a smile.
"That's great, deputy commander, if the new army can reach this level, that's great!" Li Shanchang said while recording it on paper.
"Mr. Li, don't worry, this matter will be left to you to handle. No matter what, it must meet the military needs." Zhu Han said.
"Yes, the lower official will go back and sort out a detailed charter and report it to the deputy commander." Li Shanchang said.
Zhu Han nodded, gave a few more words of advice, and then let Li Shanchang leave.
Not long after, Zhu Han was very satisfied with the plan for the logistics supply of the new army written by Li Shanchang, so he was not worried at all.
As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will go first. Now that the food and grass problem has been solved, the next step is naturally the training problem.
"Chang Yuchun, you all train the new army with peace of mind and strive to train these new army into elites in the shortest time!" Zhu Han ordered.
When Chang Yuchun and others heard this, they quickly bowed and agreed.
In fact, Chang Yuchun and the others also want to see how strong the newly formed new army is. If it can really achieve the effect Zhu Han said, it would be absolutely amazing.
Zhu Han's new army was basically based on the military reform of Gustav II of Sweden. The new army of 15,000 people was basically based on battalions and brigades. Each battalion had more than 400 people, one-third of which were spearmen, and the rest were basically musketeers, equipped with a small number of elite scattered soldiers with swords, shields and hands.
The spearmen and musketeers of the new army were also improved by Zhu Han. Among them, the spearmen's spears were cut from the usual 18 feet to 12 feet, and had better flexibility. The musketeers' musketeers also used the newly improved musketeers of the Jinling Weapons, and changed from a bulky big guy that was nearly 20 kilograms to a light musketeer of less than 10 kilograms. As for the brackets when firing, they were completely thrown away.
Zhu Han's new army organization is a Gustav phalanx that is more advanced than the Spanish phalanx, which is very suitable for rapid training of new recruits.
Of course, Zhu Han also has his own unique advantage, that is, Chang Yuchun and other powerful generals who are good at cavalry, and the cooperation between cavalry and infantry is simply no difficulty.
Zhu Han's new army was basically born for field battles, and the artillery has also been improved. The original weight of the artillery of 700 to 800 kilograms has now been modified to about 300 kilograms. This weight has no effect on ordinary infantry at all.
In addition to Chang Yuchun's attacking cavalry, Zhu Han also set up a regiment of about 500 muskets, all of which used new muskets to rush to the enemy's formation by riding a horse to launch. The fierce muskets could smash all armor and shields.
The combat method of this musket cavalry is to run away after fighting, run far away and reload the musket, and then repeat the original attack method.
Zhu Han's musket cavalry had been invented for a long time, but the previous musket was too heavy and had never been suitable for riders. This time, the Jinling Musket Workshop transformed a new musket, which made Zhu Han feel that it was the right time to train musket cavalry.
"Zhang Dingbian!"
"Qi Xiang!"
"You two will be commanding the left and right battalions of the Musketeers Regiment in the future!"
In the schoolyard outside Jinling City, Zhu Han was inspecting the newly formed New Army Muslan Cavalry Regiment.
In front of the five hundred musketeers, Zhu Han appointed commanders of the left and right battalions of the Cavalry regiment, namely Zhang Dingbian, who had met in Suzhou before. Since he joined the Red Turban Army and followed the battle, he has made a lot of contributions, and Zhu Han has admired his loyalty and righteousness.
The tactics and tactics of the muslan cavalry are a bit novel and alternative. Fierce generals such as Chang Yuchun don’t like such obscene tactics and are unwilling to be the general of the muslan cavalry regiment. Zhu Han chose Zhang Dingbian, a person with poor qualifications.
As for Qi Xiang, when the Longxing Army in Haozhou gathered in Yi, he had already joined the Red Turban Army as a refugee. He was considered to be a group of people with very old qualifications. However, Qi Xiang himself had limited qualifications and did not have much dazzling contributions. He was a group of loyal soldiers who worked hard and had no talent to command the old-style army. Zhu Han arranged Qi Xiang to serve in the Musket Cavalry Regiment.
Of course, there is another important reason that Zhu Han chose Qi Xiang, that is, Qi Xiang was unknown in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but among his descendants, a famous general who shined for thousands of years, could be half of Zhu Han's master.
Qi Xiang’s descendant is Qi Jiguang!
As Qi Jiguang's ancestor, Qi Xiang may not have high talent, but Zhu Han did not doubt his loyalty at all.
Hearing Zhu Han's appointment, Zhang Dingbian and Qi Xiang both quickly responded with military salutes.
"As for orders, deputy commander!"
Both of them performed the military salutes of the new army. They did not need to kneel down, but raised their arms in front of their chests. It was also a kind of ancient Chinese military salute.
"Has the military and horses of the Muslan Cavalry Regiment been transported?" Zhu Han asked Zhang Dingbian and Qi Xiang while patrolling.
"Report to the deputy commander, there are 1,500 horses from Danluo Island, and the last general has selected 500 of them!" Qi Xiang said.
He was originally a member of the cavalry of the Red Turban Army and was a person who knew about horses.
"Five hundred horses? Too few, how can that be?" Zhu Han shook his head.
"Ah? What does that handsome mean?" Qi Xiang was a little surprised and couldn't believe it.
How expensive are horses now, especially the exquisite war horses on Danluo Island, all of which are high-priced horses that can be bought in Jiangnan for dozens of taels of silver!
"One man and two horses, now the cavalry regiment has a small number, so it is easy to support a thousand military horses." Zhu Han said with a smile, "And, the musket cavalry needs to use musket attacks. As long as the gunpowder is loaded, it does not require much effort. It does not consume physical strength like shooting an arrow. As long as the horse has physical strength, the musket cavalry can launch an attack without restrictions!"
The innate physical fitness of not requiring strong physical strength is also a focus for Zhu Han to vigorously develop muslan cavalry.
For ordinary bows and arrows, if you want to have the lethality of armor-breaking, you either risk approaching the enemy to shoot arrows or choose a stronger bow with greater strength. No matter what, opening the bow is an extremely physically consuming way, just like an ordinary person who is desperately playing with an arm strength stick. A fifty kilogram arm strength stick can be exhausted by playing a few more times, not to mention that the power of the battle bow is far greater than a fifty kilogram arm strength stick.
The musket cavalry stretched out and wore the latest wide-eaves helmet and breastplate to protect important body parts. The musket in his hand can penetrate any armor at a distance of twenty steps, which is a perfect killing machine.
"The future combat principle of our musket cavalry regiment is to keep horsesharks, so we have to prepare more horses!" Zhu Han said at last.
"As for orders, deputy commander, finally get ready!" Qi Xiang said hurriedly.
"Deputy Commander, the soldiers in the regiment have been practicing for ten days. I wonder when I can get on the horse?" Zhang Dingbian, who was standing beside him, asked hurriedly.
The Musket Cavalry Regiment was formed for about ten days. According to Zhu Han's order, everyone had no training, just standing on the school field to train their military postures.
The base of the Musketeers belongs to an independent area, and other new military bases are actually the same. They are all training military posture queues, but the soldiers of the Musketeers do not know about it and think they have received a unique treatment.
"They can't stand it after just ten days of practice? If you want to practice on horseback, I have to see how you practice!" Zhu Han smiled slightly.
The entire new army has more than 10,000 people, and they are now in boring military training. This is the entry-level method of modern army. If you cannot practice this thing well, then the harsh military law of modern army will not have a basis for implementation.
"Don't worry, the deputy coach, brothers have already practiced well!" Zhang Dingbian immediately became energetic when he heard this.
"Then you practice it, I'll check it myself!" Zhu Han said with a serious expression.
"As for orders, deputy commander!"
Zhang Dingbian saluted and immediately pulled up his soldiers from the Zuo Camp to start a formation. The soldiers of the Zuo Camp followed the commander of the Zuo Camp and formed a uniform team.
The soldiers in Zuoying were all recruited, so the training time was not long. Now it seems that these recruits are pretty good. Although they are a bit awkward, the basic queue training has reached the standard of the general army.
"Second coach, look, their movements are so standard!" Zhang Dingbian said to Zhu Han from the side.
Zhu Han looked at the marching queue and did not speak.
"Deputy Commander, our right camp is not bad either!" Qi Xiang said on the side.
"Okay, let's take a look!"
"You listen, all of you will listen to my order!" Zhu Han walked to the reviewing stand and shouted at the soldiers in the Zuoying camp, waving the whip in his hand.
Smack
With a sound, Zhu Han's horse whip hit the ground and made a loud noise.
"Three teams become two teams!"
"The front team becomes the back team!"
"Turn left, turn right, set!"
...
Zhu Han's series of orders were all complicated orders in the teachings. After several combinations, the soldiers of the Zuoying camp, who were already orderly, were already in chaos.
