Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 21 Western Land Art of War
After the oath of the Linjiang Alliance, Bai Mingxiu began to lead the Fuguo Army into intense training and deployment.

The Fuguo Army already had the prototype of a modern army, and even the rank and organization of the army were changed.Bai Mingxiu directly appointed Jin Wang Li Dingguo and Gongchang Wang Bai Wen as generals in the name of Prince Jian Guo, and they were the only two generals in the Restoration Army.The rest of the important generals such as Jin Tongwu were only awarded the rank of major general, but in fact they only led an infantry regiment.

Li Dingguo served as the commander-in-chief of the Fuguo Army, that is, the commander-in-chief; Bai Wen was selected as the deputy commander-in-chief, that is, the deputy commander-in-chief.It's just that Bai Wenxuan's current position is somewhat embarrassing, which is equivalent to being emptied. In fact, Bai Wenxuan is serving as the commander of two heavy infantry regiments as the deputy commander.

Among Bai Mingxiu's direct descendants, Zhao Xu was still the commander of the guard company, but he was also the chief instructor of the National Restoration Army, supervising the training of the National Restoration Army.Lin Zhengze from Iron Cannon Ashgaru served as the head of the first regiment of the line infantry, and the other two regiments were headed by Li Dingguo's general Jin Tongwu and former guard Deng Kai.

Bai Mingxiu conveniently exchanged money in the system for a cavalry expert named Qi Erfang. Although he was much worse than an A-level talent like Wu Min, he was only an E-level talent, but the cost was not much, only 500 coins .Bai Mingxiu appointed Qi Erfang as the commander of the second regiment of the Rangers.The head of the first regiment of the Rangers was Li Sixing, the son of Li Dingguo.

As for the two mountain infantry regiments, they are both based on Bai Mingxiu's barbarian soldiers, and the two regiment leaders are Shan Yi and Hong Mian respectively.

The training of the Restoration Army is in full swing. It is not an easy task to turn the Ming Army, which does not have much tactical awareness of the modern army, into a mighty army on the battlefield.

Bai Mingxiu exchanged some materials in the system, one of which was called "Western Land Art of War", which was originally a non-existent book. Its materials were drawn from a wide range of Western military battles and theories. Lausewitz's On War.It's just that "On War" was written in the 19th century, and many important battle cases in it were during the Napoleonic Wars.

This book "The Art of War in the West" summarizes some military battles in Europe from the 15th century to the first half of the 17th century, and even predicts and prepares for the "future" military development with the Spring and Autumn style of writing.Compared with traditional Chinese books on the art of war, this book rarely involves strategy, and more details about training, types of arms, weapons, logistics and other extremely detailed things.

In particular, this book gives a detailed and vivid description of the armies of several major European countries so far, explaining their organization and combat mode.Comments on the military reforms of Gustav II and the military development of European countries.

When Bai Mingxiu exchanged 800 coins for this book, he also hesitated.However, after browsing through it in general, he felt that this time the exchange was actually a profit.

Falsely claiming that it was written by a strange person in Australia after traveling to European countries, Bai Mingxiu presented "Western Land Art of War" to Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo was shocked when he got this book for the first time. After reading it for several days, he felt like he had found a treasure.He even read and deduced all night, almost unable to sleep at night.

In the end, Bai Mingxiu simply found Zhao Xu, who was also good at military theory, to sort out the "Western Land Art of War", and directly set up a military officer school to train these new officers of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Li Dingguo is the head coach of the National Restoration Army, in fact Bai Mingxiu himself intervenes a lot in military affairs, and many policies are even from his hands.

Bai Mingxiu even compiled the training manual for the Restoration Army and arranged the training schedule for each unit.Not only did the army have morning exercises and evening exercises, but Bai Mingxiu also arranged ideological and political courses for the Nationalist Army with the characteristics of later generations, and the content was compiled by himself.In short, the purpose of his ideological and political courses is very clear, to let the soldiers know who the enemy is and why they want to fight this enemy, and to enhance the soldiers' ideological awareness and political nature, and at the same time enhance their cohesion.

In order to boost morale and unity, Bai Mingxiu also arranged some recreational activities for the Restoration Army.He invited talented entertainers among the refugees to tell stories and sing operas for the National Restoration Army, and let the National Restoration Army carry out cultural and sports activities by themselves.Cuju quickly became popular in the military, and the rules are naturally the rules of modern football.

Li Dingguo was also quite surprised, why the young crown prince was so omnipotent, and even arranged for such a large restoration army in less than a month, and everyone returned to his heart. Shame on me.

The officers of the Restoration Army will be a little tired at this stage. They have to organize soldiers to train during the day, and they have to accept lectures from the chief instructor Zhao Xu from afternoon to night.Officers often learned what they learned the night before and applied it to soldiers the next day.

The queue training of the Ming army gradually took shape.The first and second regiments equipped with flintlock guns can initially use the "three-stage strike", that is, the shooting technique of half-round.

The third regiment, equipped with matchlock guns, cooperated with the spearmen to train the improved version of the Spanish phalanx "Morris phalanx".

At this time, the generals of the Ming Dynasty did not exist, like some people in later generations, who argued that China's tactics and technology were the best, and that foreigners were inferior to China in every way.Li Dingguo and the others are very flexible and naturally absorbing achievements from the West and other countries.At this time, Mingren was not complacent to that perverted level.

Dare to accept the reality of being inferior to others, and be able to learn with an open mind, which in itself is a manifestation of the strength of a culture and a nation.

That is to say, under such circumstances, Bai Mingxiu was training his troops while doing construction in Myanmar, and at the same time he kept sending spies to the Yunnan-Myanmar border to investigate.

In the training team, there were no barbarians of his.Because unlike other troops, Bai Mingxiu's barbarian soldiers are already very mature mountain troops.The barbarian soldiers haunt the mountains and forests, with strong concealment.Bai Mingxiu specially dispatched two mountain infantry regiments to operate on the plateau in northern Myanmar.

One after another, news about the movements of the Qing army came, and Bai Mingxiu had already found out that Wu Sangui and Aixing Aguo really divided into two groups, a total of [-] troops set off from Yunnan and went straight to Burma.According to this speed, the Qing army would arrive in Ava at the end of November. Bai Mingxiu had two choices: defend Ava city and fight a defensive battle; or take the initiative to attack and wipe out the enemy in a field battle.

When he learned that the Qing army was coming, Bai Mingxiu was not shocked. On the contrary, some officials and relatives of the Ming Dynasty became scared. Even Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang sent an order to summon the Prince Jian Guo to discuss the holy order. The matter of relocation.
