A good military song means as much to the army as ten divisions.
Therefore, the army of the Restoration Empire had ten songs, equivalent to one hundred divisions.
The composers are all Zhu Boge, and there are several lyricists.
The content of the ten military songs covers almost everything about the army.
For example, there are military training songs for military training, marching songs for marching, eating songs for meals, spy songs for spies, battle songs for battles, charging songs for charging, and pay collection songs.
These songs are unified and compiled into the "Anthology of Army War Songs", which requires each unit to focus on sentries (platoons) and must organize officers and soldiers to learn and sing.
Even reciting military songs is regarded as the same assessment method as military skills. Those who pass will be rewarded, and those who fail will be punished.
Composing so many military songs and conducting assessments with great fanfare is not out of any vulgar taste of Jia and Liu, nor is it to increase the burden on the troops, but out of the practical needs of training and marching.
You must know that the illiteracy rate of the four integrated armies of the Reform Court was as high as 95%.
Therefore, when officers teach and train soldiers combat skills, they often exert 12% of their efforts but only receive 30% of the effect.
Asiha was afraid that His Majesty would dismiss him in anger, so he quickly explained that because the emperor had decreed that Hubei should be exempted from taxes this year, the grain and grass that should have been collected and paid by the prefectures and counties in the Qing-occupied area of Hubei this year were not in place.
The ministry has already drafted documents to allocate grain and grass to Sichuan, Henan, Zhili, Shaanxi and other provinces.
Generally speaking, it is similar to the servant model in the late Ming Dynasty.
Neither the court nor the officers would take the initiative to teach soldiers basic combat skills, and mostly let the soldiers grow up in actual combat.
Specifically, the war led to a decline in people's livelihood and economy, and the economic decline led to food shortages and market depression, which in turn caused the army to be unable to keep up with food.
It's an industry chain issue.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
It’s not that there’s no money to buy, but that the local production of pigs, chickens and ducks in Hubei has dropped significantly due to years of war, and there is simply no supply.
Shuan Zhu thought for a moment and asked A Zhongtang if he had also bought a copy of his young master's diary, and if so, from whom.
Typical cheating.
Sauron, who only had a few thousand people in total, was equivalent to the most elite servant of the Ming Dynasty army.
But this inertia cannot last long, nor can it maintain resilience.
Those who survived and had experienced many actual battles were promoted to private soldiers.
Facts have proved that Wang Fu, who was recognized by Jia Liu as an excellent office director earlier, is indeed a talent in organizational construction, while Zu Yingyuan and others are not good at construction, only good at combat.
During the process of organizing and training the new army in Zhili, Wang Fu continuously supplemented and improved the various regulations formulated by Jia Liu. He previously submitted regulations such as "Rules of Operation", "Target Shooting Procedure", "Supervision of Generals" and other regulations.
The frightened officer of the first regiment quickly explained that the meals were not distributed according to the meal standards.
However, due to the hot weather, inconvenient transportation, and the continuous delays in Shaanxi, all troops are now very short of food and fodder.
Under the influence of these songs, although the rest training level of the four newly formed armies during the Reform Dynasty did not reach the level of military training for college students, it could basically reach the level of serving the owners.
When he found that General Manager Yang was staring at him, A Zhongtang did not blush and whispered: "What Your Majesty wants is attitude. As long as I open my mouth, it means that the form is there. It doesn't matter whether there is content or not. Don't think too much, General Manager Yang."
, This is also what His Majesty often said to oppose dogmatism."
Except for Sauron, whether it is the Eight Banners or the Green Camp, the norm is that "those who flee when they hear the enemy are inferior bravery, those who flee when they see the enemy are moderately brave, and those who flee after meeting the enemy are superior bravery."
In particular, there are very few meat and vegetables.
This requires soldiers to master the most basic formations and corresponding tactical actions.
The prerequisite for ensuring a strong army is a stable and peaceful production environment.
Shuan Zhu's face turned dark: "How much did this second-rate dealer, Lao Bo, sell you?"
Not long ago, Jia Liu mentioned the idea of using songs to train troops in a letter to Asiha, the then Minister of Military Integration. After that, all troops in the army promoted the "Anthology of Imperial Army Battle Songs" on a large scale, including training, marching, fighting, and camping.
All military knowledge, tactical movements, and precautions such as facing the enemy are all taught to the soldiers in the form of songs.
Annan, North Korea is not a problem.
"What's going on? Why is the food so bad? The army food standards set by me require that lunch must include two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup. How come the soldiers only eat dry biscuits and vegetable soup!"
Without it, the food would be terrible.
Therefore, the shooting combat mode, which requires great courage and high-intensity training, naturally became Jia Liu's basic requirement for the transformation of the army.
This issue is very complex. It is a big issue at the national macro level. It did not just pop up out of thin air when Jia Liu said, "I want everyone to have meat to eat and clothing to wear."
That kind of thing can probably be written only by someone who writes novels.
Jia Liu was greatly impressed after seeing it, and ordered the Ministry of War to combine these regulations written by Wang Fu with the regulations he had formulated earlier at Xiaozhai Military Preparation School, and compiled them into the "General Code of Army Training" as a teaching material for the military preparation school.
.
Jia Liu was so angry that he decided that the officers of the first regiment must have deprived him of food, so he raised his hand and ordered the guards to take them away.
After the country was officially established, Wang Fu was given overall responsibility for the organization of the entire army and was awarded the rank of general.
His Majesty the Emperor sang, and the accompanying civil and military officials and guards naturally also sang along.
Myanmar, the world's largest military power, may need to practice more.
This is why the Qianlong Dynasty had the requirement that "there should be no wasteful war before Sauron arrives" in all major and minor external battles.
"Three hundred taels is not a matter of money. The main thing is that everyone is learning. If I don't learn, I might fall behind and not be able to keep up with His Majesty."
"Um?"
"The last general and others also came to the association headquarters. I asked about it at the division headquarters, and the answer was that the local government did not send food and grass as scheduled, so all the troops are cutting back on food and clothing. It is definitely not that the last general and others are depriving the officers and soldiers of food."
Jia Liu came to his old army in high spirits surrounded by civil and military personnel. He found that the officers and soldiers were eating, so he motioned to the officers and soldiers to continue eating and ignore him, but then the officers and soldiers' meals placed on the ground made him look down on the spot.
Needless to say, the effect is really great.
The officers and soldiers of the first regiment over there had already learned that His Majesty the Emperor was coming, and they quickly lined up to wait for His Majesty's review.
For an illiterate person, letting him learn something is probably more painful than not letting him sleep.
Asha is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is in charge of the allocation and distribution of food and fodder for the army.
Look carefully, good guy, A Zhongtang just opens his mouth but makes no sound.
Simply relying on fighting can also allow soldiers to develop physical inertia.
The idea is right, but there is not enough time.
Both have their own merits and one cannot exist without the other.
Educational and entertaining.
This was no problem in the old army with the green battalion system, because soldiers were consumables, and as long as they could follow the officers and rush forward, they could even run away with them.
Therefore, Jia Liu had already carried out the "Three One Project" in the army, which was to carry out a literacy campaign in the army, using "Hundred Family Surnames" as the basic teaching material, and strive to enable soldiers to read a hundred characters a year. After having the foundation,
, then study "The Thousand Character Classic", or study his diary, etc.
Those who are lucky enough to accumulate military merit and have a bright future will slowly grow into grassroots officers, and then become the backbone of the army.
If he dies, he can be summoned again. It doesn't matter if he can't be summoned.
Each person only has one piece of flatbread and a bowl of vegetable soup with a little oil floating on it.
After hearing what Wang Zheng said, Jia Liu immediately looked at Asiha unhappily: "What's going on!"
Asha, the second-ranked prime minister and deputy minister of the Ministry of War, would definitely sing along, but Shuanzhu, who was standing next to him, felt that something was wrong.
"Daily Class Schedules" were also formulated for winter, spring, summer and autumn, with clear regulations on when to practice, when to practice target shooting, when to practice marching, when to attack and defend in the field, etc.
Great progress!
Theoretically, it can sweep across the Qing armies entrenched in various provinces, as well as the armies of some countries in East Asia.
As the old man was talking, he noticed that Mr. Yang's face was extremely ugly. When asked what was going on, he didn't say anything. He felt strange.
Infected by the atmosphere at the scene, Jia Liu couldn't help but sing along: "The detectives approaching the enemy will seize the enemy's dangerous position first, and our army will fight fiercely and quickly outflank him."
This military song is mainly used to teach soldiers to familiarize themselves with military orders and regulations. It is easy to understand, simple and clear, and the rhythm, emotion, and strength of the chorus are perfect. It can be called the first war song.
"this"
The leader of the first regiment was Wang Zheng, a Han army cadet when Jia Liu founded the Xiaozhai Guerrilla School. He had participated in the campaign to suppress Manchu and Mongolian radicals in the camp, and was later transferred to Chengdu Green Camp.
The "Admiral's Military Training Song" that sounded in my ears at this time was one of the ten imperially appointed war songs.
At present, the Qing army's most powerful forces, Sauron and the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, are both in the hands of Jia Liu. With these two elite troops, he has been able to defeat the capital and change the dynasty, but these two troops are not enough to support the peace movement launched by his reform dynasty.
The old man refused to say anything at first, unable to stand up to Manager Yang who wanted to expose him without saying a word, but finally confessed that he bought it from Bo Zhongtang.
Not to mention understanding military textbooks, many soldiers can't even tell the difference between left and right, and they can't even distinguish between southeast and northwest when there is no sun.
At present, although the war in Hubei has ceased, the wounds caused by the war are too large, coupled with the inconvenience of transportation and the shortage of various resources, naturally the four armies of the Reform Dynasty in Hubei cannot be as fed and well-fed as Jia Liu imagined.
Practiced.
After realizing the problem, Jia Liuzi calmed down his anger. At the same time, he also realized that he needed to mobilize the provinces directly in order to maximize resources.
The Northern Expedition is imminent, and if he cannot effectively tap the money and food resources in the control area, he will end up in an even worse mess than now.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly walked up to the officers and soldiers, suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself twice in the mouth, and said sadly: "I used to be your admiral, and now I am your emperor. I don't want my brothers to follow me as the emperor."
I can't even eat the meat. This is my responsibility. I am here to make amends to my brothers. I will slap myself twice in the face first!"
