Tie Xuan was a little distracted on the way before entering the Wuying Palace. He couldn't understand how he could enter the eyes of the current emperor when he was just a small Jinan Guards commander and not one of the founding warriors.

.

Prelude: Yes, what an honor it is, when the graves of three generations of ancestors are covered in smoke?

"You stay here while we go in and report."

The eunuch who led the way threw Tie Xuan outside the palace gate and gave instructions. The latter nodded his head hurriedly, his hands already filled with sweat.

Listening to the tone of Wei Guogong, I think something good is about to happen. I heard that several of the people who were previously summoned have been promoted. Is it possible that the emperor will also favor me?

I, Tie Hyun, am only in my early thirties. Did the honor come too early?

Just when Tie Xuan was still thinking wildly, the little eunuch in front of him came out with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty summons you, General Tie."

Tie Xuan quickly straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, lowered his head and walked into the Wuying Hall. He didn't dare to look around along the way, so he lowered his head deeply, and with his peripheral vision, he could roughly feel the imperial court standing directly above him.

There was a man sitting behind, who immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, Jinan Guard Commander Tie Xuan, I wish you long live my emperor, long live me."

"I'll give you a seat and serve tea."

Zhu Yunwen was busy rechecking the plan in his hand, and didn't have time to look up at him, so he said casually.

Tie Xuan thanked him, and shakily found a seat to sit down and lowered his buttocks. His whole body was so tight that he dared not drink tea.

"I heard that you are quite familiar with military affairs?"

"I feel ashamed that I only know a little bit about it."

"You have to answer my questions truthfully."

"yes."

"How is our army of Ming Dynasty doing?"

"The king's division, a strong army that can fight a hundred battles."

Zhu Yunwen put down the memorial and looked at Tie Xuan, "How do the soldiers in the Beijing camp compare to the nine-sided army?"

Tie Xuan was startled and muttered for a moment before he cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to bully you, I'm just a little bit worse."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "Why?"

"The nine-sided army fights several battles a year, and those who survive are all elite. Although the Beijing camp is well-equipped, the good and the bad coexist and are uneven. If it is a battle formation, it cannot last long."

What Tie Xuan said here cannot last long refers to the willpower of the army, which is the so-called acceptance of the casualty rate.

When the number of casualties in an army reaches a certain proportion of the entire army, the army will collapse. This is the so-called defeat like a mountain.

This ratio can be high or low. The more miscellaneous the army is, the easier it is to collapse. The leader is Fu Jian's Qin army in the Battle of Feishui.

The 800,000 miscellaneous troops threw whips to cut off the flow of the river. They dispersed in a rush just because they were blocked from crossing the river. They were so frightened that all the trees and grass were turned into soldiers. It was a joke to the army.

The same was true for the army in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. During the Civil War, half a million troops equipped with the most sophisticated equipment in the world at that time fled in all directions when the emperor was captured, and the entire army was wiped out.

Later on, it was common for an army of hundreds of thousands to be unable to defeat a mere few thousand Jurchens in field battles, so much so that they boasted, "If the Jurchens are less than ten thousand, they will be invincible if they exceed ten thousand."

As everyone knows, even the Mongolian cavalry left by Genghis Khan and conquered half of the world were beaten by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun in a field battle with only tens of thousands of people in Hebei, like a lost dog.

There are many people who refuse to retreat despite fighting to the death. The first was like Xiang Yu's Chu Xiang, who broke the cauldron and sank the boat. Ten thousand people defeated Zhang Han's army of more than 200,000 and won a complete victory.

When the Han Dynasty fell into battle, it was the first to ascend.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was also the Yue Family Army.

But everyone can find that these strong soldiers who have a will like steel and can fight to the death without retreating are often extremely rare in number.

In later generations, there are only two armies that can unite the country's soldiers as one and regard death as home: the People's Liberation Army of the Red Dynasty and the Soviet Red Army in Stalin's defense war.

That's real iron will.

Do you want to train this kind of soldier with sophisticated equipment, super high pay, and generous food?

Armed with faith!

The honor that cannot be seen or touched, but has magical power, hangs in front of it.

The bald army is well-equipped and well-paid. During the Liberation War, hundreds of thousands and even millions of soldiers were often defeated and surrendered. Why, because their soldiers only thought that being a soldier was just a job.

You are just a soldier eating food, there is no need to sacrifice your life.

The ideological gap directly leads to performance on the battlefield that cannot be compensated for by equipment.

In the ancient army, the equipment gap was not as big as that of small pistols and airplanes and tanks in later generations. In the cold weapon era, the shovels used for farming in the fields were no worse than the steel-smelting knives, and they were both good tools for killing people.

Therefore, there are often miraculous battles in which tens of thousands of people defeat hundreds of thousands of people.

The soldiers of Jiubian fought with the Mongols on the grassland every year. A group died and a group was replaced. Most of the veterans were accustomed to death. Even if half of their companions died in a battle, they would not panic because of it.

collapse.

The soldiers in the Beijing camp are not good. They are no longer the batch at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the thirty-one years of the world, most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp are recruited. They train, eat, sleep every day, and receive their monthly salary and mail.

Go home or stay in the city during the annual vacation to visit a brothel and play gambling stalls.

Their life includes fine wine, prostitutes, and gambling equipment, but there is no killing.

When a war breaks out, brothers who have been with them day and night die in front of them. When the number of deaths becomes large, their will will collapse, they will become afraid, and they will run away.

If one person flees, a hundred will flee, and the whole army will collapse in a matter of days.

Therefore, those who know military knowledge often say that attacking the heart is the most important thing. This is the so-called art of war. To deal with Xiang Yu who is at the end of his life, the military genius Han Xin must raise all the soldiers in the world to set up an ambush on all sides, and use hundreds of thousands of troops to deal with Xiang Yu's thousands of Chu Xiang relatives.

The soldiers still had to use Chu songs to inspire their troops, but Xiang Yu was able to break out of the encirclement. If he really wanted to fight openly in the field, Han Xin was afraid that hundreds of thousands of people would not be able to defeat him!

Liu Bang had a precedent in which the entire army collapsed when 500,000 allied troops were killed by 10,000 Xiang Yu in Pengcheng!

Zhu Yunwen called Tie Xuan and led the latter to the side hall. There was a huge sand table inside, marking the landforms of Shandong, Beizhili and Jiubian. Zhu Yunwen picked up a small flag and handed it to Tie Xuan, "If Jingying and Jiubian

How can we win when two armies are facing each other?"

Tie Xuan's heart trembled and he was startled, and then heard Zhu Yunwen say, "Don't think too much, just reply."

Tie Xuan swallowed, "May I ask Your Majesty, where will the battle take place?"

"Right here!"

Zhu Yunwen pointed at the Hebei Plain with one hand, "The two armies are fighting in the open field!"

Tie Xuan held a flag in one hand and said at the same time, "The front army dug many tunnels and made horse traps to block the cavalry from the nine sides. They built camps on both wings to defend the Chinese army's Shenji camp. When the war started, the Chinese army's artillery

Showing strength, the nine sides have no choice but to retreat, while our army moves forward steadily and slowly, squeezing the depths of the nine sides."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, "How about if the nine sides refused to retreat, made a desperate move, withstood the casualties and forced the charge into the formation, then the front army was fighting with the nine sides, and the cannons misfired?"

The strong soldiers of Jiubian will not be frightened just because they have to pay some casualties first.

Tie Xuan pulled out the flag, "The Shenji Battalion retreated, and the rear army took the lead and established a law enforcement team. Once the front army was defeated, it was divided into two wings for repairs, and the military formation was not disturbed. At that time, the battle situation separated, and the Shenji Battalion formed an array on the spot, and then started again

firearm.

At this time, if the nine sides continue to advance, they will be surrounded by two wings, and the nine sides will use strong crossbows to defeat them. Once the encirclement is encircled, the great success will be achieved."

Zhu Yunwen nodded lightly, "I still have two brushes."

He took out the memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Tie Xuan, "Take a look."

Tie Xuan respectfully took it and opened it, "This is the method of training soldiers written by Your Majesty?"

Will the emperor still train his troops?

What is this thing written about? What is queue training? What is ideological counseling? Political commissar? Staff officer? When did such positions exist in the army? Isn’t it always the commander who says how to fight, and the deputy general?

Are you going to take action next time?

Good guy, the chief officer is responsible for commanding the battle on the front line, and the political commissar is responsible for boosting morale at the grassroots level?

This responsibility is quite new.

Zhu Yunwen had to join in the political work. To put it bluntly, soldiers in ancient times said that if they had breasts, they would be mothers. Zhu Ming Zhengtong not only ruled them righteously, but also because he could give them enough food and pay.

If we don’t strengthen ideological work, will we be like the soldiers of the Five Dynasties, who fought in the rear and paid their bills at the same time?

Tie Xuan was confused and puzzled, then he heard Zhu Yunwen speak.

"Starting from today, you will be promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army. He will be promoted to the second rank and given the rank of hussar general. He will be responsible for the training of the new army. From the Beijing camp, everyone over the age of sixteen and under the age of forty will join the new army.

Generals from the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, you can select yourself to join the army and make a copy of this book. The new army military system will be noted in my book. Everyone above the team officer will have a copy."
