"The founding philosophy of the New Army is to eliminate all enemies at a distance and achieve zero death!"
Zhong Jinwei's voice when he said this was not as loud as before, but the effect it produced was more deafening than his previous words.
None of the people on the school field, not just the soldiers, but also the generals and Zhong Jinwei's bodyguards, had ever heard of such a thing.
In the era of cold weapons, no matter how powerful the army is, it is impossible to have zero deaths in a war. There are very few exceptions to this phenomenon.
Although the Ming Dynasty is now a time of alternating hot and cold weapons, it is still impossible to have zero deaths.
These people looked at Zhong Jinwei like a flying fairy from the sky, thinking that if Zhongxing Hou was not a god descending to earth, then he would be possessed by a fool.
Zhong Jinwei shocked them with his words, and after achieving his desired effect, he explained: "The concept of building an army is the goal of the army. I can tell you that future wars will be hot weapons, oh,
This is the world of firearms. Any army that continues to use cold weapons will be defeated by the firearms army, including Jianlu, and it is no exception."
When everyone heard this, they realized that the new army that Zhongxing Hou wanted to form turned out to be a firearms unit. But the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were obvious to all, and it was simply impossible to achieve zero death.
When a cold weapon is not against the enemy, at least there will be no casualties. But this is different with firearms. Even if it is not against the enemy, it can still blow up the chamber and kill oneself.[
When the soldiers thought of this, their faces could not help but show their disapproval. Marquis Zhongxing regarded them as children.
Zhong Jinwei obviously knew what they were thinking. He suddenly patted his chest and said: "When you are under my command, you don't have to worry about the quality of the firearms. And the firearms you use will be a new type of firearms, or they will be modified based on the current ones.
Firearms coming out. You will see them soon."
When the soldiers who joined the New Army heard this, they couldn't help but feel relieved. With Marquis Zhongxing's guarantee, there should be no problem with the firearms.
When the generals of the Fifth Army Camp heard Zhong Jinwei's words, they couldn't help but feel a little envious of the new army.
They all know how powerful firearms are. If high-quality firearms are sent to their fifth military camp, their combat power will definitely be doubled.
It's a pity that they are not the Shenji Battalion, and it is obviously impossible to issue it to them, at least for now. Every general feels regret in his heart.
"I have only one request for you!" Zhong Jinwei said loudly. After attracting everyone's attention and letting them concentrate on listening to what he was going to say next, he continued: "That is to complete the task in the shortest possible time.
Shoot out all the pills in your hands, this is one of the two major subjects you have to practice."
The soldiers are all veterans. They know that Zhongxing Hou said it is simple, but in practice it is difficult to do it. It really requires mathematical training.
"Only in this way can we ensure that our casualties are the lowest. There is a saying that goes well, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. I don't want you to regret that you didn't practice less when you get to the battlefield. You are all veterans.
, shouldn’t I need to say anything more?”
After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, no one responded. They were all accustomed to listening to the generals' lectures. This made Zhong Jinwei have questions. Could it be that his question just now was not obvious?
So, he asked again: "Do you understand? Answer me."
The voices of the five hundred soldiers sounded unevenly but not loudly: "I understand."
"yes."
"good."
""[
When Zhong Jinwei stood on the general platform at this point and trained his soldiers, he realized that some of the nonsense said by the instructors in later generations turned out to be useful, and some of the requirements that seemed to be made to show prestige were also useful.
"Are you five hundred pigs? You can't understand what I say and react so slowly?" Zhong Jinwei looked angry and yelled at them loudly.
As soon as Zhong Jinwei got angry, the school grounds suddenly seemed quiet, without a trace of sound. Even the wind seemed to have stopped, for fear of the anger of the person who held the highest power here.
"You are a whole, remember, you are a whole, a team. When you answer my words, you must be uniform. I ask you if you understand, and you must answer me loudly and uniformly. Do you understand?"
This was the first time Zhong Jinwei spoke and made demands on them, so after scolding them he explained to them again.
"Understood." The five hundred soldiers answered loudly and neatly as soon as Zhong Jinwei finished speaking. After shouting, they suddenly seemed to feel more energetic.
Zhong Jinwei nodded, indicating that he was satisfied this time, and then continued: "Okay, I hope you can always remember that you are a whole, a team. At the same time, I also ask you to have confidence in yourself and speak loudly and confidently. Do you understand?"
After all, these soldiers are veterans, and they know that Zhongxing Hou is right. In the past, the generals used sticks to beat them to keep in line, and they were not required to understand, just follow the instructions; but now Zhongxing Hou emphasizes teamwork and self-confidence to them in advance.
The importance of training tells them what their training goals are. Although the ultimate goal of these two methods is to kill the enemy, the effects are completely different.
"Understood." The answer of the five hundred people was louder and more uniform than the last time. They finally experienced the newness of the New Army from reality, and they looked forward to the realization of other new things mentioned by Zhongxing Hou.
"Today I will give you one day of activity in the camp, and there is only one requirement. In future battles, you will be in units of ten, so you are required to choose your own temporary captain, and formal training will begin tomorrow."
Zhong Jinwei's words surprised them again, and this method of selecting officials?
This time Zhong Jinwei did not explain to them and announced his disbandment. Then he turned to face the general behind him and said: "In the future, you will come here often to observe the training here. If there is anything different from before, just keep it in mind.
After a good comparison, that way is better."
Whether they were trying to flatter Marquis Zhongxing or they really thought this was a good idea, all the generals answered loudly and neatly without realizing it: "Yes."
Zhong Jinwei nodded with satisfaction. These generals were really on the right track. He continued to tell them: "I can tell you clearly that with the advancement of the times, hot weapons will inevitably eliminate cold weapons. Therefore, in the end, the fifth military camp where you are located will also inevitably change.
It is a firearms camp. However, the imperial court’s financial resources are limited and it is still difficult to produce qualified firearms for distribution to such a large-scale army.”
When these generals heard this, their faces showed joy. They understood the reason given by Zhongxing Hou, but it didn't matter. This gave them hope. At the same time, it also gave them motivation to come and see what Zhongxing Hou was practicing.
How will the firearms warfare method be different from before?
"But don't worry, you are the Beijing camp, the Royal Forest Army. Of course, you will give priority to the equipment and learn the tactics that are all firearms. It will definitely be different from the past. Whoever can understand more will win many battles in the future and stand out.
.Okay, now that I have said this, you guys should go back."
Zhong Jinwei announced the disbandment, and he still had to go to several places to inspect and accept the military uniforms that had been ordered in advance, and to inspect the manufacturing of firearms, etc. There were many things to do.
When he got off the general platform and mounted his horse, he looked around at his guards and remembered that he should take Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Li Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi with him and nurture them since they were young, hoping that they would grow into the Ming Empire.
In the future, a new generation of outstanding generals will open up and expand territory for the Ming Dynasty and severely attack the enemies of the Ming Dynasty.
