Chapter 3 "Dongning Infantry Drill Code"

five days later

"Old Li, go and invite Mr. Chen to my house. I have something important to discuss with him." Zheng Kezang put down the quill pen in his hand, rubbed his hands, and told Eunuch Li beside him.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo, I'm going to invite Mr. Chen to come over." The voice came from the mature and steady eunuch Li Zhongjie.

Looking at the "Dongning Infantry Drill Code" written by himself on the table, the tired Zheng Kezang was very proud. He felt full of accomplishment. He never thought that a civil engineering student would one day become a military strategist.

This is not some military training code for primary school students, it is a real infantry drill. You ask Zheng Kezang how he knows such a professional thing.

Of course I bought it from the system mall!

It turned out that earlier, when he was browsing the system interface, he discovered that there was a gift package for newbies!

Once you open the novice gift pack, you will get 100 brilliant points!

There is not much time left for Zheng Kezang. He really has to wait until the Heroes Monument is completed to gain glory points. I don’t know when.

According to the routines of the senior time travellers, what should be done at this time is to train troops, make refined salt and sugar, and farm to make money to support the army.

However, he can't use military training to train soldiers. As for salt and sugar, I'm sorry, this touches the knowledge blind spot of him, a civil servant.

Good steel is used on the blade. After some study, he exchanged 30 points for the French Army's "1791 Infantry Mobility and Training Doctrine", referred to as the "1791 Drill Code", which is famous in the history of war.

He used the remaining points to exchange 15 points for the method of making simple grenades, 15 points for the formula of sweet gunpowder, 10 points for the method of making perfume, and 5 points for how to bleach sugar.

Of course, the main reason is that it is not cost-effective. The "Militia Training Manual" requires 80 Brilliance Points, so it can only be shelved for now.

I don't know why, but recently he always feels that overthrowing the Qing Dynasty is no longer a dream, and his mood is much better than before, and he is not as depressed and uneasy as before.

As a traditional Confucian scholar, Chen Yonghua was old and decent, and he did not want Zheng Kezang, the future master of the Ming Dynasty, to wield swords and guns in person to steal the generals' jobs.

For five days and five nights, he didn't know how he got here.

He chose to save the remaining 25 Brilliance Points first. "Cash is king" these days, Zheng Kezang, who is steady, chose to save some points for emergencies just in case.

When the enemy's resistance is relatively tenacious, the columns in the rear may advance and spread out into horizontal formations to fight with firepower.

These days, military generals are basically rough and tumble, especially those from the Zheng family who were born pirates. To select a military attache with a high level of education, a bamboo shoot in a ten-acre bamboo garden is extremely precious.

He had no choice but to bite it off.

Chen Yonghua took the book from Zheng Kezang's hand with suspicion. It was so bizarre that the children he had seen since childhood could actually have such an ability.

How to get more soldiers to accept ordered firing instead of free and random firing is the top priority in this era to ensure the maximum output of the troops.

In the era of queuing to kill, the firearms used by various countries were basically smoothbore guns, with extremely poor accuracy. The denser and more orderly the soldiers who fired, the greater the chance of hitting.

Zheng Kezang worked hard for his dominance. If he had this kind of motivation in the college entrance examination, he wouldn't have failed to get into the 985211 college.

This "1791 Code of Conduct" explains it very clearly. It is a summary of the war tactics of the 18th century dominated by line tactics.

Compared with the traditional Chinese art of war book, this infantry drill code compiled by Zheng Kezang is more detailed in detail about training, formations, arms types, logistics and other extremely detailed things.

He is very insecure now, and building a new army that is absolutely loyal is the foundation for him to survive in this era.

In fact, what he wanted to redeem was the "Militia Training Manual", but considering that this book was too advanced, from the most basic formation training, to infantry and tank cooperative operations, to the common sense of protection against falling atomic bombs, this book had it all

!

In actual battles, operational regulations stipulated that the French infantry usually marched in columns, and when approaching the enemy, they spread out into a formation with horizontal columns in the front and columns in the rear, that is, a mixed formation.

Half an hour later.

"Father-in-law, this is a training manual compiled by me recently after reading the works of Chinese and Western military strategists. I want to use this training manual as a basis to train a new type of firecrackers unit."

If the enemy army is already scattered under the fire of skirmishers, lines and artillery, the French army will often launch a direct bayonet charge.

Therefore, Zheng Kezang believes that in the future, the Zheng family's new army must focus on formation training and discipline development, supplemented by patriotism education. He does not believe that a modern army cannot be trained.

When Zheng Kezang got the simplified Chinese version of "1791 Exercise Code" with pictures and texts from the system, his mentality collapsed. It was a bit difficult to break it!

With two big dark circles under his eyes, Zheng Kezang happily put down the "Dongning Infantry Drill Code" in his hand.

Back to the topic.

"Father-in-law, please arrange for two teachers to be given to me. I want to set up a youth camp. In the next few days, I will ask the bodyguard Shen Cheng to go to Yongwei Town to select a few veterans to teach, while Mao Xing will go to recruit them near Dongning Mansion.

There are about 100 children from good families aged 14 to 16, and I want to train them myself." Zheng Kezang said without question.

"Jian Guo is really a genius, and this book is very suitable for promotion in our army." Chen Yonghua really liked his son-in-law more and more the more he looked at him.

After reading for a while, Chen Yonghua's eyes shone, as if he had found a treasure.

These five days of writing made him understand a lot of things. In the era of line infantry, why discipline was so important that later generations in the 21st century still attached great importance to line movements.

In order to deal a devastating blow to the enemy, the focus of almost every country's military training is on how to maintain a calm attitude and absolute obedience on the battlefield.

"Father-in-law, I need to personally feel whether the "Dongning Infantry Drill Code" is reliable. As its creator, it is my duty to do so." Zheng Kezang, who is only 15 years old, only has determination in his eyes.

The obscure French translation and the technical terminology of the infantry drill code gave him a huge headache as a layman. Fortunately, it was well illustrated with pictures and texts, so at least the military movements would not be misunderstood.

Is this what he, a person who has not even stepped into the era of queuing to be shot, dare to think?

This is his future team. The so-called youth camp is actually the future officer camp. He has to hold on to it tightly, and he won't trust it if it is handed over to others.

"Your Highness Jianguo, there is no need for Jianguo to do such menial work as military training himself, it can be left to the warriors below."

He read through the infantry drills, wrote and drew, and based on his understanding of military training in later generations, he compiled a military training manual that was in line with the Ming and Zheng Dynasties, so that the generals of the Zheng family could learn from it.

Zheng Ding, who comes from the 21st century, has completely integrated into the role. The seventeenth century is no longer history for him. He wants to create history. He wants to revive the Ming Dynasty (Zheng Ming is also a Ming Dynasty) and bury the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing this, Chen Yonghua did not continue to persuade. The communication between men is so simple, everything is kept in words, even if one is middle-aged and the other is young.

"1,000 civilian workers have been recruited to the Heroes Monument and construction will begin soon," Chen Yonghuahui reported.

Zheng Kezang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."
Chapter completed!
