The special forces are a certain prince's trump card in the future and can be used as a death squad, but a certain prince will not treat luxury goods as disposable consumables unless it is absolutely necessary.
Due to different purposes, the special forces should be small but refined in the early stages of their establishment. They should be able to surprise the enemy and kill with one strike at any time and in any place, and then carry out large-scale expansion in the future.
The death squads are an attack force, equivalent to armored soldiers with braids, and this unit cannot be measured literally. If everyone dies as soon as they go up, it will not be able to play an important role in attacking the enemy.
Those who can be a suicide squad must have absolute loyalty, extremely tenacious perseverance and determination, and an indomitable spiritual quality. The physical requirements are not too high, but the main thing is to have a coherent mind.
Looking at the various ministries, even the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion could not meet such high requirements. A certain prince could only find another way and recruit some child soldiers, ranging from seven to fifteen years old, totaling no less than five thousand people.
Gather them all into the camp of the East Palace Guards for training and training, and carry out continuous brain-milling. When these people grow up, they will reach the point where they have no distractions. This is an armed force more terrifying than the special forces.
A certain prince just wants them to believe and blindly obey. As long as he gives an order, there will be mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, and they will move forward indomitably. Only in this way can the troops with a heart of stone be able to face hard steel and pure braids on the battlefield.
The braided armored soldiers are not afraid of death, but a certain prince's death squad is afraid of death. This is the scariest part. It can really frighten the enemy, because if they rush forward, they will die with you. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Forget about dozens or hundreds. If thousands of people do this, I'm afraid that 7,500 people and horses under one banner will be wiped out in a stick of incense...
The children adopted by a certain prince were either orphaned because of their pigtails and were robbed, or they were famine-stricken and abandoned by their parents. In short, they were all children begging and about to starve to death.
In this era of war and chaos, no matter how old you are, what your gender is, or how you die, you will die, and few people will pity or sympathize with you.
A certain prince was so kind-hearted, so naturally he couldn't turn a blind eye and watch these hungry children starve to death.
Those who can support themselves can catch locusts in exchange for copper coins, and those who are willing to eat the royal rations are naturally better off. No matter how much more than 5,000 child soldiers can eat, they can't eat up a certain prince who is rich and wealthy.
A certain prince came today and took a look at the condition of these "little legs". They seemed to be in good condition. At least they were all living well thanks to his own luck.
The little ones with injuries and illnesses have received timely treatment, and those whose treatment failed have long since died. Now they are all alive and kicking with great vitality.
Those who can't bear the pain of training and those who don't obey the discipline can leave on their own and go through the waves. Of course, those who stay are those who are willing to repay the prince for saving his life.
In their view, the Crown Prince is their hope, their sustenance, and their backer. Their lives were saved by the Crown Prince, and they will live for the Crown Prince from now on.
"Very good! I am very pleased to see you with a new look and your actions so quickly. Some people have disliked you before, abandoned you, regarded you as a burden and avoided you, but I don't think so. You are the hope for the future of our Ming Dynasty. As long as you obey orders and train hard, you will definitely become a talented person and have a time to feel proud. I am even more optimistic about you and will lead you to the southern expedition in the next few years. In the Northern War, we have made glorious military exploits, so that you will no longer suffer from the feeling of being useless and suffering from hunger and cold! Are you willing???"
The results of the militarized training of these child soldiers are obvious. The speed and orderliness of the formation are not inferior to those of adults.
Although only those who are over twelve or thirteen years old and have a certain level of physical development can meet the requirements. The number is only a thousand, but it is already a big gain.
Including those who were reviewed, all the child soldiers would not feel full after eating four or five steamed buns when they were growing up. It would take three or four years for them to become talents.
If they have to be sent to the battlefield, it's not impossible, but corresponding tactics must be developed for them, and adults' gameplay cannot be used. Otherwise, ten child soldiers may not be able to beat an adult armored braid.
"willing!"
"willing!"
"willing!"
The original intention of many child soldiers joining the team is to keep themselves fed and clothed and find an ideal place to stay, so that they no longer have to worry about food and clothing in the future.
But as the instructor instilled more and more knowledge into them, after digestion and absorption, the idea of repaying the prince's kindness became stronger.
Being able to follow the prince on the battlefield and defeat the enemy is a matter that can bring glory to their ancestors, and it is a great honor for them.
Many people say that as long as they train well, they can join the Crown Prince's imperial army in the future and then protect the Crown Prince. This is a rumor that is based on rumors, but it also reveals the aspirations of a large number of people.
The prince, who is similar in age to them, or even a few years younger, is their backbone. Without the prince, these poor children will become lonely ghosts again.
There was no other reason. The prince gave them food to prevent them from starving to death, sent doctors to treat them, and gave them new clothes to wear. They could also eat meat from time to time. Even their biological parents were not so kind to them.
The thinking of these child soldiers is very simple. The prince treats them so kindly because they are their reborn parents and the best people in the world. No matter who they are, even the most vicious Tatars, they will never touch the prince.
A soldier dies for his bosom friend, and the prince with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness saves everyone's lives. He is everyone's benefactor. Whatever the prince tells them to do, they will do it. From now on, they will go through fire and water without hesitation.
Don't say it!
It feels so good to be the king of children!
No wonder Old Fart Zheng was the king of children when he was young.
A certain prince was very proud to enjoy the shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami. From the eyes of every child soldier, there was a burning desire. This was the result that a certain prince wanted to see.
Basically, as long as you have access to a musket and have undergone long-term training, the bullets fired from the hands of child soldiers are not much different from the bullets fired by adult soldiers, and they can kill the most vicious pigtails.
Child soldiers are easier to command and manage than adult soldiers. The difference is in strength and experience, which will never be made up for in a while.
But when these child soldiers come of age, after ten years of fighting, those who survive in the end are undoubtedly the elite soldiers selected from a hundred.
Now, a certain prince has no need for these young suicide squads yet. Their main task is to eat well and train well. Only when the body grows up can they give Braid a big surprise.
If there are ten thousand death squads on the battlefield, it is really a trump card. Whether it is Huang Taiji's two yellow flags or Dorgon's two white flags, it will take a long time to eat such a big lump of frozen food. !
Regarding these child soldiers, a certain prince does not need to waste his words. Although many of them have entered a sensible age, they are still more or less unable to remember things. It is inevitable that things go in one ear and come out the other.
After talking so much, they all have to eat in the end, so just a few words of encouragement are enough. Talking more is useless and wastes your precious time. Rewarding each person with a fish is more valuable than any kind words.
When a certain prince goes out for a trip, including the attendants such as chamberlains, factory guards, and Han generals, he will have to send out thousands of people. However, it is considered to be an army and a large number of people, and it is quite expensive.
This is still a scale that has been reduced. If it were a scapegoat, it would start with 3,000 people. If the scale is too small, there is a fear that some generals with ulterior motives will lead their troops to rob and kill them halfway.
As soon as a certain prince withdrew with his entourage, Zhou Yuji and other generals breathed a sigh of relief. The prince seemed to be quite satisfied with the results of his work, and there were no big mistakes below.
The remaining thing is to arrange a holiday for the more than 10,000 people in the first phase, but the camp will not become empty. There are still 28,000 people in the second and third phases combined.
In addition to the 2,000 people from the Yongwei camp, the 1,000 people sent by Zheng Zhiwan, more than 5,000 child soldiers, and the 100 people under Li Chengdong's command, it was still very lively.
The first-term officers and soldiers who received their pay and bonuses were naturally extremely happy. They had silver dollars in their pockets and had three days of vacation. They were all in high spirits and in high spirits.
He changed out of his camouflage military uniform, put on civilian plain clothes, put his soldier ID, put all the silver coins in a package and tied it to his chest, so that he could leave the camp and go home.
After having silver coins in hand, even a helpless orphan who has met a group of relatively reliable brothers can go shopping in the capital with them.
After coming out of the camp in Jingying, you have to walk almost a mile to find a bus stop, because stations are not allowed to be set up around Jingying to prevent those who have been bribed by braids from getting close to snoop on the situation in the camp.
There are horse and infantry patrols around the camp 24 hours a day. If someone keeps shouting and insists on approaching, and cannot produce valid credentials, they will release arrows first and then shoot.
Senior industry insiders all know the rules. As long as the inspection is completed, you can naturally enter the camp. For those who don’t understand, don’t blame them for being blind...
The bus station here is the terminal, so there are shuttle buses waiting to depart at any time. However, with so many waiting passengers, the bus owner can't help but feel happy, but also frowning.
Tens of thousands of people were suddenly released from the camp, and they were not even wearing military uniforms. Is this a sign of dispersing?
After inquiring, many car owners found out that it was the Crown Prince who gave the officers and soldiers of the East Palace Guard a holiday.
There are not only buses here, but also private cars waiting to pull jobs.
The difference is that the bus fare is cheaper, but the departure time is fixed, so you have to wait patiently.
The cost of taking a private car is relatively high, about twice as expensive, but as long as the car owner agrees, the ride can be started immediately.
Today's situation is obviously not suitable for bus owners to obey the rules anymore, because the bus is already full and there is no room for even one passenger to wait any longer, so the bus starts immediately.
Not only the two buses here, but fifteen private cars were also packed to the brim. There was almost no room for a dog, and it was extremely difficult for the natural engine to pull it up.
Even so, there are still a huge number of people who are unable to take the bus. A dozen or so rickshaw drivers who came to pick up the work after hearing the news were immediately surrounded by buyers when they arrived at the scene of the incident. The situation is still in short supply.
There are no rickshaws here, and it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to have their own horses. In addition, it is a sunny day and there is nothing but hot weather, so most people decide to walk to the city to spend money.
Almost everyone carried the "three things on the road", which were bamboo tubes for water, dry food and food. The latter was now silver dollars, so that they could eat while walking. If their legs were agile, they could reach the city gate in an hour.
Most people's homes are outside the city, but before going home, they can't go empty-handed. Although they haven't made any military exploits at the moment and it's not a return home in glory, they still have to bring some gifts when they go back to visit their parents.
In the army, even if nothing else has been learned, being civilized and polite has been learned by many rough people, because even the superiors do not beat or scold them. If the offense is not serious, they will be warned. If the offense is serious or if they are violated again, they will be directly detained. It's a dark room.
One of the "good manners" is to be filial to your parents. Now that you have silver dollars in your hand, even if you bring home a roast duck, a few kilograms of cakes, and a bag of rice, it is still a very honorable thing.
Even the guy who spent all his money every month now got next month's salary in advance. He had been holding it back for a long time and didn't eat or drink much when he went into the city. He felt sorry for his mouth.
I also want to take advantage of the opportunity to check out the store that sells novel items opened by the prince. There are so many treasures in it that I have never heard of.
With the usual 20 lire training every week as a preparation, despite the scorching sun, everyone was in an extremely happy mood and strode towards the city, seemingly walking effortlessly.
"Bachelor, you are walking very fast, no one is trying to grab you!"
A strong man was also on his way, but he was walking a little faster than the large army. The person in front of him looked familiar. Although he was not in the same class, he usually looked up without looking down, so he said hello first.
"Zhulu, you don't understand this. If you go to play, I'm afraid that all the good things in Chengli will be bought up by those idiots, hehe!"
The man who was talking to him kept his legs idle as he talked, and he still wouldn't slow down, as if he had to maintain his lead.
"Haha, you are really thoughtful~!"
This man tasted what the other party said, and it seemed that it was indeed the case. There were at least hundreds of rich guys in their pockets now. If they were to get the upper hand, he wouldn't be able to buy anything.
His name was Che Yuan, and his original name was "Che Yuan". Because he couldn't write his own name as "Che Yuan", he pretended to be a scholar when registering, but the clerk asked him to write his own name.
The guy got nervous and began to think that the characters for "Che" and "Shen" were similar, but he couldn't remember how to write the character "Shen", so he wrote "口".
Then, I couldn't even make up the word "试", so I thought it was a wheel, which should be round, so I just drew an "O"!
This guy's name became "口O"!
The clerk was stunned for a long time and was speechless. He was probably shocked by this guy's imagination. After comparing it with his real name, he finally understood.
After joining the army, I felt that the word "蕕" was too difficult to write, so with the permission of my superior, I changed it to a homonym for myself and changed it to "Che Yuan".
After writing it hundreds of times, I finally learned how to write my own name, but my nickname remained the same as "Che Luo"...
The man who spoke to him was Xu Guang. His legs and feet were extremely fast, and he was among the best in any training event involving foot strength. He was nicknamed "Yi Liuyan", but when greeting him, most people still called him the inherent nickname "Bachelor". ".
