Chapter 1424 Grenadier Regiment

Han Yu thought about it in his mind. The flying thunder cannon and palm thunder were relatively safe against Wu Sangui.

As for the subsequent encirclement and suppression by the Qing court, he could expand the size of his troops and advance steadily.

The Tianping Heavenly Kingdom was able to sweep Jiangnan back then, so there is no reason why he couldn't.

Moreover, he has the blessing of these two advanced weapons, so there is no reason why he cannot win.

As for how to attract people to join him, he already has a way. He can only use it after defeating Wu Sangui and occupying Yunnan Province.

"By the way, with the new weapons, the organization of the new unit also needs to be changed. The minimum unit is a squad, ten people, one commander, three thunder cannons, three gunners, three loaders, and three liquidators The commander is responsible for commanding each person. Each person is issued with a steel sword, a leather cane shield, and ten palm thunders. "

"Ten teams form a squadron, with one member per household, and each household has 10 soldiers."

"Ten squadrons form a brigade, with one member from a thousand households, and a thousand households have 30 soldiers."

"Several brigades form a legion, the specific number depends on the situation."

"In addition, a logistics team is specially organized and trained to be responsible for escorting food and materials, and there are also dedicated foremen and doctors."

Han Yu explained the organizational structure he envisioned.

"This method is very good."

Mu Tianbo imagined that if he could command such a team, he could capture the Burmese King alive at Cursed Water Beach.

"Your Highness, please name the new army." Mu Tianbo said.

"Let's call it the Grenadiers. The first one formed will be called the First Grenadier Corps. In order to show its honor, the word "Guard" is added in front, which means the emperor's personal army. The first regiment commander is you, by the way. , this is your son Mu Jiansheng, let him learn by your side, expand the team in the future, and he will be promoted as he gains experience. "

Han Yu said.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

When Mu Tianbo heard what Han Yu said, he immediately understood that there would definitely not be only such a legion in the future, but would also be expanded into a second legion and a third legion.

His son is studying next to him, and he will definitely be on the same level as a legion commander in the future.

Commanding an army of ten thousand people was at least a general level in the Ming Dynasty.

The Mu family is going to be prosperous in this generation.

"I'll leave it to you to select the best and train the soldiers. The first batch of people are more valuable than the more skilled ones. Cultivate them with experience first, and then use these people as seeds to slowly cultivate them."

"In addition, the crafting of weapons must not be left behind. We must ensure quality while rushing to work. Each flying thunder cannon is engraved with the names of the manufacturing craftsmen and the acceptance craftsmen. If there is a problem on the battlefield, ask these craftsmen for questioning."

Han Yu said.

"yes."

Mu Tianbo arranged these.

Han Yu thought for a while and then said: "By the way, tell those craftsmen that after conquering Dian Province, His Highness will start to abolish the craftsmanship status so that their descendants can freely choose their profession and do not have to continue to be craftsmen, but the premise is that His Highness can Yunnan Province must gain a firm foothold, otherwise, everything will be a mirror image.”

Han Yu felt that after the slap, he would also give him a sweet date.

For Ming Dynasty, household registration was a huge problem.

This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the household registration itself, but that the household registration in the Ming Dynasty fixed people's occupations.

If you have military status, you can only join the army, and if you have craftsman status, you can only be a craftsman. You can't change your destiny in your life.

Zhu Yuanzhang's starting point was good, so that when he hired people, he could clearly know how many craftsmen, how many military households, and how many farmers there were in the country.

But for an individual, it is extremely unfriendly and can only waste time in a career that I don't like.

Damn if you can be motivated.

If Han Yu wanted to rebuild the Ming Dynasty, the first step was to abolish the unreasonable household registration system.

"Okay, I'll tell them now. I believe they will work harder after hearing the news."

Mu Tianbo arranged the news.

When the craftsmen heard this, they were naturally happy and worked even harder.

Tin buckets and carts were manufactured one after another.

The young people in the village were organized by Mu Tianbo, and two thousand people who were shrewd, strong, agile, and clever in mind were selected and began to train according to the training methods given by Han Yu.

The most important thing in military training is to enforce orders and prohibitions.

Therefore, Mu Tianbo began to follow Han Yu's request and asked these recruits to start standing in military postures and practice walking in unison. This was to subtly make everyone get used to orders and prohibitions.

Otherwise, facing the enemy's overwhelming attack, you will become timid first, turn around and run away, and all weapons given to you will be in vain.

Han Yu organized the doctors in the village and started simple training for barefoot doctors.

Fortunately, these doctors have experience and it is relatively easy to accept it.

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed.

The first batch of flying thunder cannons and palm mines have been produced. After test firing one by one, they all met the acceptance standards.

Han Yu was very satisfied and asked Mu Tianbo to kill two pigs to reward the craftsmen.

Those young people have also been organized into two brigades, and have completed basic formation training. They have also mastered the firing steps of the thunder cannon. Basically, everyone can complete their work with their eyes closed.

Han Yu was very satisfied with the progress of these people. According to the progress of these people, the training would be completed in a few days.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report outside the village.

"My lord, something happened, something happened!"

"Why are you so nervous?"

Mu Tianbo asked.

"A clear demon appears outside the village!"

shouted the reporter.

"How could it be?" Mu Tianbo frowned. His village was very secretive, so it stands to reason that he would not be found.

"There are clear demons? This is a good thing. It just allows the first legion to see blood. If you haven't seen blood, no matter how much you train, you will always miss something. We still have the fortifications of the stockade to rely on. This is a good thing that comes to our doorstep."

Han Yu stood up.

Even if the Qing army doesn't come to the door, he still has to find an opportunity to take the team out to practice. Now that the enemy comes to the door on his own, he saves this step.

"That's the only way. Send the order and all the first legion will assemble and go up to the wall."

When everyone in the First Legion heard that there was going to be a war, they were both excited and scared, and many of their hands were shaking.

"I know that many of your family members were killed by Qing Yao. Now, Qing Yao is outside. The time has come to avenge your family. As long as you follow the usual training, you will definitely be able to kill Qing Yao. Avenge your family!"

Han Yu boosted morale.

"Revenge! Revenge!"

The people below shouted.

Most people here have a blood feud with the Manchus. The mention of revenge for their families instantly arouses their fighting spirit.

Everyone climbed up to the wall of the village according to the formation, set up the flying thunder cannon, and they were ready. Today, they would make those who committed the crime of clearing demons pay their blood debt with blood.
