Regarding the training of troops, I have often heard of training the body and discipline, but this is the first time I have heard of training the faith. However, an army with faith, its spirit is indeed far from the rabble can be compared. Such a way of ideological education is unique and refreshing, and I am somewhat curious.”
Zhang Jing listened to Zhu Pingan’s explanation of ideological education, looked at Zhu Pingan with interest and said.
Ideological education was a major asset for the Republic to win, and it was by no means as simple as being refreshing.
Although Zhang Jing had noticed the role of ideological education, he was just getting started.
The potential and value of ideological education far exceeds your imagination.
However, he was also limited by the understanding of the times, and for him to be able to recognise the role of ideological education was already remarkable.
Zhu Pingan thought truthfully.
Hearing Zhang Jing say that he had become a little curious about his way of practising soldiering, Zhu Pingan took the opportunity to step forward and arch his hand to ask for help, “Your Excellency, please also give my subordinate an opportunity, I will definitely not disappoint your Excellency.”
“Soldier, the great things of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, cannot be ignored. Lord Zhu, commanding and practicing soldiers not only requires a high level of understanding of strategy, military strategy, and tactics, but also the finer details, how to set up a line, what armaments are needed for the soldiers, what rations to carry with them, how to set up camp, and how to put up a sentry post, all of these have to be clear before you can do it, or else Zhao Kuo, who is a paper soldier, would be a vivid example of what is possible.”
Although Zhang Jing had a point of intention, he still did not let up and said to Zhu Pingan with a serious face.
“Regarding the civil regiment line, my humble servant plans to have every ten people in a squad, i.e. a wu, with a standing wooden waist plate on each side. Four woods and one post, i.e., the brigade, with one side of the waist plate. Each official colour waist plate one side. Inside each should open the name, another picture in front of the card type. Still check the military law, consider the human condition, set up a number of military law, the important ones printed oil in the shade of the card; a little slower and the former order published as a general. Such as the head of a team, we must know the ten people within a poor, a rich, a strong, a weak, a in a certain way; a call between, a not to be missed; a see between, by name all know. Large and a hundred of the long, a thousand of the total, each of these tests, enough to discern the soldier’s feelings, coaching diligence and inertia. Make sure that people have the knowledge of the pipe Bao, so that we can hope that they are concentrating on the battle ……”
“Regarding armament, my humble opinion is that firearms are of vital importance ……”
……
Zhu Pingan, after Zhang Jing’s words, spoke in detail about the minutiae that Zhang Jing mentioned.
Zhu Pingan has studied so much of the art of war, especially focusing on the most relevant to this era, the most suitable for military practice, the most concerned about the minutiae of Qi Jiguang’s two books of war (at present, Qi Jiguang is still in the early stages of leading the army, these summaries of experience have not yet been formed, and have not yet put pen to paper to write the two books of war), on the minutiae of Zhang Jing’s question, not only answered the question of the tour, but also the super details.
Zhang Jing is not only a deep force, but listening to Zhu Pingan’s narration, but also could not help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, never thought that Zhu Pingan is not only the knowledge of the military so simple, but also for the minutiae of the military training are very well known, for these general generals do not necessarily grasp the details of the problem, Zhu Pingan not only answered everything, but also the operational is also super strong, can be completely recorded directly with the use of the complete.
If he didn’t know Zhu Pingan’s identity, Zhang Jing even suspected that what was standing in front of him was not a civil official who hadn’t yet reached his weak crown, but a senior general, and even a senior general might not be able to summarise to such an extent.
“Lord Zhu, how much do you wish to raise and lead the militia?”Zhang Jing asked.
“Back to your lordship, my humble servant plans for a thousand men.”Zhu Pingan replied truthfully.
“One thousand men, ah, food, pay, armaments, and consumption ……These five thousand taels of silver are far from enough.”
Zhang Jing looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes.
“Back to your lordship, everything is difficult at the beginning, with these five thousand taels of silver, the militia can be organised. In the later stages, clearing land for farming, pulling in sponsorships, and raising soldiers through war ……There are always more ways than difficulties.”
Zhu Pingan confidently returned.
“A good one is that there are always more ways than difficulties.”Zhang Jing sniffed, looked at Zhu Pingan appreciatively and nodded, then turned back to his desk, lifted his brush and dipped it full of ink, leaned over and wrote an approval note, took out the official seal and snapped it onto it, and handed it over to Zhu Pingan, “Your Excellency, Zhu go to the treasury and withdraw the food and wages.”
“Many thanks, my lord.”Zhu Pingan was overjoyed and took the approval note, arching his hand to Zhang Jing to thank him.
“I hope that Lord Zhu will not let this official down.”Zhang Jing waved his hand and said with a serious face.
“My humble servant will surely live up to Your Excellency’s expectations.”Zhu Pingan returned with a serious face.
With Zhang Jing’s approval note, Zhu Pingan smoothly withdrew 5,000 taels of rations from the Ministry of War treasury.
Facts proved that it was wise for Zhu Pingan to bring Liu Dazhou and the others, because the 5,000 taels of silver withdrawn from the Ministry of War treasury not only had silver ingots but also copper coins, a large box of silver ingots, three large boxes of copper coins, a whole wagon loaded, leaving deep ruts on the dirt road. Zhu Pingan they are not sitting empty, can only walk, of course, there is also can not sit, the horse pulling this carload of silver money, are the limit of horsepower.
With these five thousand taels of silver, the militia can be organised. Go back to the people to contact the demoness his father, with a token as well as peer credentials, so that his father will accept the recruitment of bandits to bring over.
At the same time, his own side can also start to apply for barracks residence, procurement of grain, ordnance and so on …….
On the way back, Zhu Pingan began to plan in his mind.
“Xian nephew, Xian nephew ……..”
While Zhu Pingan was planning the militia group in his mind, he heard a familiar call from behind him.
Zhu Pingan turned his head and saw Li Tingzhu, the Linhuai Marquis, who was walking out of breath, carrying his official clothes, his fat body could not stop trembling.
“Oh, it’s really virtuous nephew. Fangcai I looked at the back of your back out of the Ministry of War, it feels like you. Tried to shout out, did not think it was really virtuous nephew.”Marquis Linhuai laughed as he gasped for air.
“Greetings uncle.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand and returned the salute.
“Xian Nephew came to the Ministry of War on official business?”Marquis Linhuai asked.
“Back to uncle, Ping An is responsible for the rectification of the military, applied to the court for food and wages, today received the approval of the court, specially came to the Ministry of War to draw.”Zhu Pingan truthfully replied, this is not confidential, there is no need to hide it.
“The Ministry of War, huh, the Ministry of War is now like a brave man, with a miser like, want to draw silver from them, I do not know how difficult it is, we are the Governor’s Office several silver I do not know how hard it took to spend to ……How’s it going, have you paid for your food and wages yet? I have some friendship with Zhang Langzhong of the Ministry of War, I can help you to talk about it …….”Marquis Linhuai has a rather bad impression of the Ministry of War, and asked after belittling the Ministry of War.
“Expenses are coming.”Zhu Pingan returned.
“The Ministry of War is like this ……Ah, you spent money.”Marquis Linhuai was surprised.
Zhu Pingan nodded.
“That surname Zhang has changed his nature today?!”Marquis Lin Huai muttered to himself.
