Chapter 19 Strategies for Troop Training

 Tao Ying did not expect the few people in front of him to put forward constructive opinions, so he simply told all the methods of army construction that he had seen and heard from later generations.

If he didn't have to explain for a long time, Tao Ying would have wanted to directly use the organizational model of army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon and squad for his army system.

"The Xuanjia Army has a team of five people, with a captain; a team of ten people, with a captain, and a deputy captain; a team of fifty people, with a captain, with a deputy captain; a group of 100 people, with a captain, with a deputy captain; two

For a hundred people, one song is assigned as the chief, and the deputy commander is the commander; for one thousand people, one is assigned as the chief, and the deputy commander-in-chief."

There are examples of these army formations in this dynasty and the pre-Qin Dynasty, so Tao Ying does not need to bother to explain them. The generals can understand them in one point.

"However, you do not have a Sima in your army for the time being. Those who can be a Sima must have military exploits."

Tao Ying glanced at everyone, seeing their eagerness for knowledge, and nodded secretly in his heart.

"The history is famous, but they are not stupid idiots!"

The team at the start-up is very important. Improper employment may bring disaster to the business.

Fortunately, Tao Ying is a "prophet", so there is no need to bother checking everyone's ability and loyalty.

"The six of you have gone to various places to recruit troops, with a temporary quota of 10,000 for each one. Of course, even if the recruitment is not enough at the moment, you cannot make up for it, and you must rather be short than overfilled."

"So, here comes the problem again, how to solve it for middle- and lower-level officers?"

Here, Tao Ying wanted to test his teachings.

"Competition and promotion."

Looking at Tao Ying's gaze, Ji Ling thought for a moment and came up with his own strategy.

"Fu Yi is right."

Tao Ying nodded with satisfaction and gave Ji Ling a thumbs up.

"The first is recruitment at the local level, and the second is selection through competitions in the military."

"With this benefit, the selected lower-level officers are easily accepted and convinced by the soldiers; at the same time, it can also arouse the soldiers' enthusiasm for training. Through hard training, they can challenge their superiors step by step and be promoted."

Tao Ying's innovative selection system impressed everyone, and Wu Dun couldn't help but ask a question on behalf of the losers.

"My lord, if you are defeated by a soldier, what will your officer do?"

Hearing this, Tao Ying rolled his eyes.

"If he is provoked by his subordinates, the corps commander will become a soldier, the commander will be demoted one level, and so on."

If you can't even handle your own men, why should you lead a team? Naturally, you have to vacate the cage and change the position.

Of course, when you meet muscular men like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, you can easily defeat handsome men like Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, but Dian Wei and his like are by no means the material to lead an army.

It's not that Tao Ying didn't expect this, but he doesn't have high expectations for the quality of his current sources of troops.

"Muscular men have the benefits of muscular men, at least they won't be timid when going into battle."

After Tao Ying told everyone how to use formation training as a method of practicing discipline and cooperation in later generations, he mentioned an allusion from the Han Dynasty.

"In the early years of the former Han Dynasty, there was a Xiongnu prince named Maodun. In order to practice discipline, he fired the Dysprosium. When the Dysprosium shot was fired, any subordinates who did not shoot were beheaded. After several years of practice, they drove the troops to use their fingers like arms."

Ji Ling and everyone looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

"Xi Zhan?"

It's not that Ji Ling can't do it, but that it feels inappropriate to do so.

"You are training soldiers to go into battle to kill the enemy, how can you have the kindness of women?"

Seeing that Ji Ling and others were hesitant, Tao Ying looked a little worried.

"If two armies are fighting against each other, and suddenly the soldiers retreat, causing a defeat, not only will the army be lost, but the city and the territory will be lost, what will be done?"

Tao Ying's questioning made Ji Ling, Sun Guan and others suffocate, and then showed a look of shame.

"Fortunately, I got the advice from my lord, I'll keep it in mind."

Ji Ling, Sun Guan and others all stood up, bowed to Tao Ying, and accepted the correction with sincerity.

"Of course, training is different from war. You must grasp the balance between training and not be bloodthirsty. You must give them a chance to correct themselves. As for those who are stubborn and stubborn, you must not tolerate them and let a mouse ruin a pot of soup.



Seeing that several people realized their mistakes, Tao Ying stopped holding on and gave some pointers.

"As long as you are rewarded for your merits and punished for your mistakes, I believe that with the support of our various benefits, no one in the Xuanjia Army will violate discipline and fear death."

Tao Ying, who was already thirsty, felt that he had said enough, so he ended his cramming education and issued the last order.

"What I've said, you can sum it up as you think about it. From now on, which army will be equipped first, and whether it can go into battle will depend on the training results. Only the Xuanjia army with the spirit of 'use me in the first battle, and I will win' is the qualified Xuanjia army.

Army A."

"Now, there are 5,000 soldiers to be trained in Nancheng, and there are 1,000 guards coming out of Xuzhou. You six people who are passing through the place, each cavalry team is temporarily 50 cavalry, except for the 2,000 infantry left in Nancheng, the remaining 3,000 people

, each borrowed six hundred, and immediately went to divide the troops, do some training, and go to their posts early the next morning."

After a pause, Tao Ying, who had a serious face, glanced at Ji Ling, Sun Guan, and Mi Fang one by one.

"After taking office, I hope that you will calm down the place and restore order within half a month. If you can't do it, you can raise it now. If you delay later, you will be severely punished!"

Ji Ling, Mi Fang and other six people who were passing through the place also looked solemn, and they all raised their hands to accept the order.

"If we cannot pacify the place and restore order, we will put a head on the head to apologize!"

This time when we go to control the territory, we mainly focus on appeasement, supplemented by encirclement and suppression. With Tao Ying's preferential policies, there are not many people who continue to want to cause chaos.

The six of them were naturally full of confidence, and without saying a word, they went out to divide up the troops and food.

"Wen Heng, let's go out and have a look too."

Tao Ying and Yan Liang also followed out of the tent.

Looking at the ambitious generals, Tao Ying felt uncertain.

"Whether these mud-legged people can transform quickly depends on their personal understanding!"

……

The next day.

After breakfast, Tao Ying and Yan Liang arrived at the Nancheng campus. With Tao Ying's training and general selection methods, the six teams have begun their respective selection and training in full swing.

"I want to fight for the leader of a hundred-person village!"

"Forget it, it would be great if you could become the captain of fifty people!"

"Hey, my goal is Junhou!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

……

Sure enough, the promotion channels were smooth, the soldiers were enthusiastic about training, and for the first time they had military pay and job benefits, so they were even more excited about their future.

Tao Ying looked around and saw that Ji Ling and the others were performing well, so he stopped paying attention and found Tao An.

"Butler, how many skilled craftsmen did you find this time?"

Tao An took out a few bamboo slips from his sleeves and reported to Tao Ying by category.

"Three hundred and twenty carpenters, seventy-one blacksmiths, two hundred and sixty-seven stonemasons, 380 masons, one hundred and twenty-two cobblers, one hundred and seventeen felt-makers, and two hundred and ninety tailors.

People."

Looking at the bamboo slips in Tao An's hand, Tao Ying frowned.

"We must urgently solve the problem of paper. It is not only convenient for writing, but also a source of financial resources."

After listening to Tao An's report, Tao Ying was a little disappointed.

"There are a few craftsmen."

Among the 50,000 or 60,000 people brought by Zhang Kai, there were not even 1,500 skilled craftsmen. However, for Tao Ying, who was in urgent need of people, it was better than nothing.

"Is there anyone here who knows how to make paper?"

Tao An thought for a while and shook his head. He indeed did not count the craftsmen who could make paper.

"Got it."

Tao Ying just tried to ask. Even though there is "Caihou Paper" nowadays, almost no one uses it. Apart from the fact that the production process is too complicated and the materials are too weird, because the output is not high, the price is so high that even the wealthy nobles frown.

.

Of course, the most critical thing is the size of the paper, which varies in thickness and thickness and is easily broken and difficult to store.

Therefore, rich people would rather use silk than Caihou paper.

"In this way, tomorrow, you take all the blacksmiths, two hundred carpenters, stonemasons, and masons to the north with Yin Li, the magistrate of Mou County. You must protect the safety of these people. If they have family members, take them with you and give them to Mou County.

They divided their fields and houses."

Tao An didn't know what Tao Ying wanted these craftsmen to do, but he nodded anyway.
