“Whose food do we eat?”
"We eat the food of Ming Dynasty!"
“Who do we contribute to?”
"We will help His Majesty!"
“Who do we serve?”
"We serve the people!"
"Very good, sing with me, unity is strength, this strength is iron, this strength is steel..."
On the beach in the west of Xinxiang City, a group of soldiers wearing new black dragon-patterned military uniforms, helmets and half-cloaks were walking on the wet beach carrying a log, leaving a long series of deep footprints on the beach.
They were the newly formed Ming Army, and the Ming Navy was heading to Luzon at this time, preparing to purchase the population in Guangdong and Guangxi through Spanish hands.
Zhu Zaiming also trains with the team. If you want to have a career, you must have a good body.
What's more, Lao Zhu's family is about to conquer the world. Apart from a certain "God of War", Taizu's reputation as a team is pretty good.
A soldier needs to know the general, and even more so he needs to know the emperor.
It's impossible that the country that he worked so hard to win would suddenly be taken over by some general in yellow robes. Then there would be no place to cry.
Therefore, it is necessary to train a new army and reform the military system.
Previously, the Ming Dynasty followed the six-ministry system of the cabinet, but Zhu Zaiming separated the Ministry of War and formed the General's Office, which was only responsible to the emperor.
According to Zhu Zaiming's future adaptation plan, the new Ming Army will have 12 standing divisions, each with 32,000 troops, one armored brigade, one infantry fighting vehicle assault brigade, two motorized infantry brigades, and one heavy artillery brigade.
Zhu Zaiming's standing division's flag has been bought, with black borders on the top and bottom, and a golden dragon on a red background.
It's just that standing divisions currently only exist in imagination. The entire Ming Dynasty's army totals only 2,500 people, including 1,500 people in a regiment of the army and 1,000 people in the navy.
There is no way, this is the dilemma of underpopulation.
However, an army that can arm a regiment to fight a battle is sufficient in Australia.
…
"Unite with His Majesty."
"Down with the British colonists and the Manchu slave gangs!"
Every time General Kong Er shouted something, the soldiers repeated it hoarsely.
I saw some soldiers shouting incorrectly, or their training was not in place.
As soon as Kong Er pulled out the stick, he began to inject his spirit.
But the soldiers had no complaints.
Not only did Kong Er hold back his strength to avoid pain, but it was also because of the soldiers' high treatment.
Zhu Zaiming discovered that the system mall can not only recharge, but also withdraw cash. Although the gold and silver recharged will shrink to a certain extent due to purity issues.
But the silver and gold coins that were withdrawn were very beautiful.
The pure silver coin is surrounded by a brass ring. On the front is the number "1" and exquisite patterns. On the back is a five-clawed golden dragon holding the sun and moon in its mouth.
The same goes for gold coins.
Therefore, Zhu Zaiming put all the krypton from the treasury into the system, and then took out 20 million silver coins for treasury expenditures.
With a wave of his hand, Zhu Zaiming allocated 5 million and deposited it into the General's Mansion for military expenses.
Soldiers of the Ming Standing Division were paid 2 silver coins per month, which was equivalent to 2 taels of silver. However, the Ming silver coins had extremely high purchasing power due to their high purity and good craftsmanship.
At the same time, from the moment they step into the military camp, the soldiers' food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical care, and elderly care are all taken care of by the General's Office, including military family members who receive certain discounts in education and medical care.
In order for the soldiers to survive the high-intensity training, Zhu Zaiming spent 500,000 silver coins to purchase various foods and raw materials to provide the soldiers with sufficient calories and protein.
Thinking back to today's breakfast, the soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
There are enough self-heating rice tubes, and each person can get two of various cans. Those pudding cakes, black tea milk tea, hard candies and soft candies that are said to be only enjoyed by Victorian aristocrats... Now they, the bottom soldiers, can enjoy them.
Coupled with this complete set of clothing, including three sets of military uniforms for each season, uniforms, military coats, and various underwear, even the large wardrobe in the military camp can hardly fit in them.
Arm belt, kettle, three-layer metal lunch box, multi-function dagger, windproof lighter, pocket watch, tent sleeping bag, small assembled stove, folding pony...
I heard that every holiday, the General's Mansion spends a lot of money to purchase supplies for the soldiers to take back and live a good life.
God knows how much these cost.
The soldiers felt that they used to be soldiers so that they would not starve to death and reduce the burden on their families, but now they are soldiers so that the whole family can live a good life.
Therefore, the soldiers burst out with unparalleled enthusiasm. No matter how hard and tired they were, they did not complain. They were only afraid that they would fail the training and be dismissed.
In the morning, there was a 5-kilometer cross-country course with heavy loads and a military stance.
After the difficult training in the morning was completed, it was lunch time.
The soldiers, led by their respective officers, lined up in a neat line and took meals one by one.
Today's lunch is canned beef, one large meatball and one vegetarian meatball, fried chicken steak, spicy cabbage, seaweed and egg drop soup, as well as the after-dinner snack cream cake and a small bottle of yogurt.
Kong Er took a big meatball in one mouthful, and then took a sip of egg drop soup. His empty stomach immediately felt very comfortable.
Previously, the staple food of Ming Dynasty was rice and dried fish. After so many years, they have long been tired of eating it. Occasionally, they bought some coffee and brown sugar as a snack.
It's not like now, when we have three meals a day for a month without any repetition, and there are surprises every day.
Today's surprise is yogurt, which is as small as a palm and comes in a transparent glass bottle. It is sour and sweet. Kong Er fell in love with it after just one sip.
I didn’t want to throw away the glass bottle after I finished eating, but saved it to make tea later.
Burnt glass was put into large-scale production during the Song Dynasty. Although there are many colors, it is not a rare thing.
But this is the first time I have seen something so clean and transparent.
After lunch, the soldiers took a brief rest and then it was time to stand in military posture again.
What's the use of standing in a military posture?
As the saying goes, a soldier who obeys orders and prohibitions is a good soldier. Kong Er naturally understood this truth.
It's a bit strict, but the effect is really good.
The simplest posture is to stand upright for an hour or two. You can't rub your eyes, you can't whisper, and you can't move even if an insect crawls into your mouth.
This training alone would make soldiers of this era stunned.
Although this is not the first time I have seen it.
When the British lobster soldiers in Sydney stood upright at the foot of Xinxiang City, they shocked the Ming army at that time.
Those lobster soldiers stood there for two hours, looking like statues, which left a deep impression on the Ming army.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I also practiced standing motionless like this.
To be honest, Zhu Zaiming didn't know much about how to train the army.
In the end, I bought a militia manual in the system mall and built the training framework.
At this time, Zhu Zaiming realized that soldiers are not trained blindly. Soldiers can be trained as strong as the logistics are strong. What period of time should be trained. This has been clearly summarized in the war years of the previous life.
Zhu Zaiming is not a certain principal who likes to play micro-management.
As for the training manual, there is no showy operation such as the team moving five meters laterally, but some modifications have been made to the slogan.
Nowadays, these trainings are to train them to obey orders and obey them absolutely.
Zhu Zaiming positioned himself as an immediate emperor, an emperor who conquered the world.
The constitutional monarchy and separation of powers are still too heretical for the current centralized rule in the Eastern world.
Therefore, whether it is the requirements of the times or the particularity of Eastern civilization, imperial power is currently the best choice.
As for the future, let future generations have a headache.
