Su He worked hard for two days and finally finished dividing the land in Sujia Village.
The villagers were allotted their own land, and some people laid straw mats directly on their land to sleep here.
You have to guard your land day and night, lest it be taken away by others.
Some of them took their families to plow the ground, waiting for it to rain, and planted some radishes and cabbages so that they could have some vegetables in the winter.
Su He frowned as he looked at this piece of land. It had been drought for many years. It had not rained for a long time this year, and the land had become hardened.
The small river passing through the village has long since stopped flowing. There is no silt at the bottom of the river, only gullies remain.
If it weren't for the ancient well in Sujia Village, it would be difficult for the villagers to drink water.
Natural disasters occurred frequently during the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty, but he believed that he could lead the people through it.
After finishing the matter of dividing the fields, Su He rushed back to Sujiacun and devoted himself to another more important matter - troop training.
On that day, more than 430 soldiers were recruited in Sujia Village, bringing the total strength of the team to more than 520.
In the past two days, Su He has been thinking about the military system of the army, whether to use the Ming military system or the modern military system.
After two days of careful thinking, he chose the three-three system that he was most familiar with.
The Militia Military Training Manual introduces in detail the role of each unit of the military division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and platoon.
All you need to do is change the skirmish line tactics to the line-up and kill tactics.
The methods of training militiamen can be perfectly transplanted to the young people of the late Ming Dynasty, allowing the army to quickly form combat effectiveness.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the military system was too complicated, and the generals were governed by culture but did not know how to fight.
Military leaders only train servants, causing the army to become a warlord.
The guard station has positions such as small flag, general flag, hundred households, thousand households, guard commander, and general commander.
The battalion military system has positions such as commander, captain, sentry, commander, garrison, commander, guerrilla, staff general, deputy commander, commander, etc.
This is just a confusion of official positions. What is even more frightening is that they are both general soldiers, but the number of troops is very different.
Small-scale wars can still be won by the outstanding performance of generals.
The large corps assembled for war, and their performance was directly defeated.
The modern military system has developed and matured through thousands of large-scale wars, and the command system is simple and efficient.
Su He came to the open space on the left side of Sujiazhuang, where Su Xiong was leading his troops in a military posture.
Standing in a military posture is the basis of the queue, and the queue is the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the queue.
Most of the young people in Sujia Village were malnourished. In the first two days, they mainly ate a full meal. They also ate a big fat pig to replenish their fat and water.
Start training intensively today.
Su He stood in front of the queue. When he saw the neatly arranged team, he felt very satisfied. It looked like an army.
"Brothers, I am your Commander Su.
From now on, you must exercise more.
I will promote some people to become officers based on your performance.
Now everyone is on the same starting line. If you don’t want to be surpassed by others, then train hard.
As long as you become an officer, you have priority in dating.
If you want to marry a wife, you have to train hard."
Su He led the army and began to engage in high-intensity training.
Every day I start with a five-kilometer long run, then stand for two hours, and then do queue training.
There are also interspersed with marching in line with spears and stone ball throwing competitions.
"Turn right, whichever side is right, the side with the red cloth strip is right."
…
"Let's go together, one two one, one two one."
…
Su He trained his troops to increase their combat effectiveness, and he was not worried at all about the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers attacking.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, various chaos arose, among which officials deceived the superiors and concealed the truth.
The peasant uprising army in Shaanxi broke into the county seat and killed several county magistrates. Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty did not even know that there was a rebellion.
As long as Suhe does not attack the county seat, he will not alert the Fengxiang Mansion's troops.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the household soldiers in the guard station had lost their combat effectiveness and were just a group of peasants armed with swords and guns.
The guards in Baoji County only have a small number of servants capable of fighting.
The only Ming army with any combat effectiveness near Baoji County was the Dashan Pass garrison.
Dashan Pass guarded Baoji County and could not move, so there was no threat to them for the time being.
Another seven days have passed, and after daily high-intensity training, the army can perfectly execute basic orders.
Su He held a flag with a red background and a golden Great Wall embroidered on it. This was a military flag.
He raised the flag in his hand and walked in front of the queue, the flag fluttering in the wind.
All the troops also put on new clothes. The earthy yellow linen clothes are also an excellent camouflage color on the loess soil of Shaanxi.
Earthy yellow is the natural color of linen fiber, and undyed linen is the lowest cost.
"Brothers, after several days of training, the training results are obvious to all.
This is our military flag.
Our ideal is to protect, protect our wives and children, protect our land, and protect everything we own.
I hope that in the future we will be like the Great Wall protecting the land of China."
After Su He finished speaking, he placed the flag in his hand on the flagpole in front of him.
It fluttered in the wind, watching this new army.
Su He knew that these recruits were illiterate and could not understand what he was saying.
But an army with ideals and an army without ideals will suffer battle losses completely differently.
I only hope that in the tempering of blood and fire, and passed down from generation to generation, a military soul belonging to it can be condensed.
The military system adopts the three-three system.
11 people form a class and elect a class leader and deputy class leader.
Three squads form a platoon, and the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader are elected.
Three platoons form a company, and the company commander, company staff officer and deputy company commander are elected.
Three companies form a battalion and elect a battalion commander, battalion staff officer and deputy battalion commander.
The current strength is only one regular battalion and two reinforced platoons, a reconnaissance platoon and a grenadier platoon.
Su He announced the main officers of the army: "I am the battalion commander, and the staff officers are all vacant. If qualified candidates are available, they will be appointed again."
Su Xiong serves as the deputy battalion commander, mainly responsible for commanding troops in combat.
Su Ying serves as deputy battalion commander, mainly responsible for military law.
Su Hu is appointed as the commander of the first company, and Su Shi is appointed as the deputy commander of the first company.
Su Shan was appointed as the commander of the second company, and Wang Monk was appointed as the deputy commander of the second company.
Li Qingmu is appointed as the commander of the third company, and Su Li is appointed as the deputy commander of the third company.
Su Ergou is appointed as the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon, and Su Zhuang is appointed as the platoon leader of the grenadier platoon...
Su Yan, squad leader of the third battalion and company three, and deputy squad leader Zhou Kai."
Su He announced the appointment of officers. Based on the training of the past few days, he selected and promoted people who were flexible, trained hard, and obeyed discipline.
Monk Wang didn't expect that he would be appointed deputy company commander, which is a big official.
He had lived in the temple since he was a child. The temple was destroyed due to the war. He and his master begged all the way. He heard that Mrs. Su Juren believed in Buddhism and stayed here to make a living.
Sujiazhuang was captured and without a livelihood, he had no choice but to return to secular life and enlist in the army.
When Li Qingmu heard about the appointment, he burst into tears with excitement.
A few days ago, when I was working as a servant for Su Juren, I almost got chopped with a knife.
He was a deserter from the guard station. Seeing that Suhe's recruitment conditions were very attractive, he signed up to join the army.
Unexpectedly, he became the deputy company commander and was in charge of more than 120 people, the same level as the hundreds of families who destroyed his family.
Su Yan gritted her teeth and saw that her eldest brother Su Ying was already the deputy battalion commander, and he was just a small squad leader.
You must make some achievements, strictly enforce military discipline, and cannot lag too far behind your elder brother.
"Each company and platoon leader will lead his troops and strengthen training.
The war is very close to us, the more we sweat in training, the less we bleed in war."
"yes."
Su He continued to train the army, and with officers at all levels executing orders, the army mobilized more smoothly.
