I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

November 5th, Suzhou.

Both Wuxi and Jiaxing had already captured and sent troops to garrison. The Qing army in Nanjing and Hangzhou had no troops to attack for the time being. Wu Changqing and the others were given a chance to breathe temporarily.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, Wu Changqing summoned the main generals and announced the reform of the military system.

"Congratulations to Brother Liu for taking Wuxi and killing thousands of enemies."

Many generals gathered together and exchanged greetings with each other.

"I don't dare to compare with Brother Li. Brother Li won Jiaxing without a bloodbath."

Liu Hansan replied with a favor.

"I heard that the general is going to reorganize the army, I don't know what Brother Liu thinks?"

Li Shaobin asked.

"Of course this is a good thing. The general said last time that the current military system is inconvenient for command and coordination. I think it makes sense. If the flintlocks can be distributed equally, then a single unit can have a good reputation. Combat power."

"Wrong, wrong, terribly wrong, both the flintlock unit and the flamingo army need to be used intensively to be powerful."

Wang Dayong has different opinions.

"If the firecrackers become an army alone, how to deal with enemy cavalry? How to deal with being ambushed close?"

Liu Hansan said, what he said, in fact, the main thing is that he hopes that the flintlocks will be separated and he can have a flintlocks army.

Just as they were discussing intensely, there was a general coming from outside, and everyone shut their mouths.

"Everyone sit down."

Wu Changqing sat down in the main seat, and then the generals took their seats one after another. In this era, these etiquettes are still very important.

In the later generations, leaders do not take their subordinates to sit first, and at most make the leaders feel unhappy, and they may be put on shoes in the future. But in this era, if Wu Changqing did not sit down, whoever was below would take the seat first, then everyone would doubt his loyalty and use this as an excuse to attack.

Losing one's official position should be the least serious consequence, and if it is serious, one's life will not be saved.

After sitting down, Wu Changqing said: "The combat effectiveness of the army comes from many aspects, and reasonable configuration is one of them. According to the characteristics of our army, we can no longer maintain the original Ming military system, which will affect the combat effectiveness of our army. Regarding the current military system, please mention it if you have any opinions, and then discuss it together."

In fact, Wu Changqing already had a case in his heart, but he had to give his subordinates some power to make suggestions, and he couldn't be too arbitrary.

The reform of the military system still has a great influence on the power of the opponent's generals, and if you are not careful, your subordinates may feel dissatisfied.

The seemingly simple reform of the military system has a lot of knowledge in it.

Wu Changqing also studied for two nights, and finally came up with a relatively good plan.

Afterwards, several generals started a discussion. The main ones who spoke were Liu Hansan and other veterans who had started in Jiading. They followed Wu Changqing for the longest time, had the most prestige, and had the right to speak.

And like Dong Tianbao, he closed his mouth and watched quietly. Anyway, how Wu Changqing wants to change, he is now unable to resist.

Of course, Wu Changqing couldn't hold him at will, and if he was in a hurry, he could also bring his men to join the Qing army, or become a rogue.

Dai Zhijun occasionally interjected a few words, but Wu Yi was as silent as Dong Tianbao. His strength was the weakest among the crowd, so he naturally chose to keep a low profile.

After some discussion, Wu Changqing spoke: "After combining your opinions, I already have a preliminary plan."

Wu Changqing began announcing his military system reforms, the most convenient of which is the cavalry, which is an independent unit.

Currently Wu Changqing has 1,300 cavalry and more than 2,500 horses.

Cavalry does not mean that one person only has one horse, and the minimum configuration must be one person and two horses.

One of the horses is used to fight and charge, and the other is used to drive the road and carry supplies.

After all, horses are creatures, not machines, they are tired.

The real cavalry fighting is definitely not like in the film and television drama, riding a horse for thousands of miles, it is impossible. When the real cavalry fights, most of them are on foot and lead the horse on foot, and they will only ride on before the battle begins.

One is to save the horse's physical strength, and the other is to protect the life of the horse. Riding on a horse all day long, it is estimated that the horse will lose more than half of its life.

Horses are more expensive these days. Soldiers who the general hates carry horses on their backs. It is impossible to allow soldiers to ride horses as mounts.

One thousand three hundred cavalry was organized into a cavalry regiment, and Chen Shichang was the commander of the cavalry regiment.

And a cavalry regiment is divided into three cavalry battalions, each battalion about 400 people.

In general small-scale battles, it is enough to support a cavalry battalion. Unless it is a big battle, it is impossible for the entire cavalry regiment to run around to support it.

Still the same sentence, the horse is noble, and the general is willing to take the life of the soldier to fill it, and he is not willing to use the cavalry excessively.

After the cavalry, there are artillery. At present, they are very few. There are only 20 cannons, of which 15 are red cannons, and the other five are small cannons.

The artillery was organized into a battalion, under the command of Zhang Xuanyi, as the artillery battalion commander.

Zhang Xuanyi was also an old man who followed during the Jiading Uprising, and he had read a lot of books before, and he was more educated, so Wu Changqing promoted him.

Artillery belongs to the technical arms. As artillery becomes more and more complex in the future, the knowledge required will become more and more profound. Calculating curves, angles, and charges are not things that illiterate people can handle.

Artillery is also a type of decisive battle. Unless it is a defensive battle or a decisive battle, it is impossible to use them in small-scale battles in peacetime.

The next is the main event, the Fire Guns, which are divided into flintlocks and fire guns. Flintlocks are infinitely powerful, while the Fire Guns are so-so, and cold weapons have a slight advantage over the strategy, but the advantage is not big. Anyway, at most one round of volley, the enemy can rush in front of them to start a melee fight.

Of course, one round of volley and one round of grenade throws can still consume 10 to 20% of the enemy's strength before hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, their firecrackers are also the main force, very powerful.

There were a total of 3,500 people in the flintlocks. Wu Changqing divided them into three regiments, each of which was a little over 1,000. Wu Changqing personally commanded this unit.

This unit is mainly used for support at ordinary times. It supports a regiment as appropriate and is under the command of the regimental commander. In the big battle, he personally directed it and used it intensively.

The ordinary firecrackers had more than 2,500 people, and they were organized into two regiments.

The remaining archers have a thousand people and are organized into a regiment.

There are also a thousand naval forces stationed in Taihu Lake, and Wu Yi is the commander of the naval forces.

Finally, there is the Cold Weapon Unit, which currently has a total of 12 thousand and is divided into three brigades.

Among them, the first brigade has 3,000 people, accompanied by 1,000 archers, and Wang Dayong is the brigade commander who is responsible for garrisoning the Jiaxing area.

The second brigade has 4,000 people, accompanied by a 2,500 firecracker army, with Liu Hansan as the brigade commander, who is responsible for garrisoning the Wuxi area.

The third brigade has five thousand cold weapon units, with Dong Tianbao as the brigade commander.

The fourth brigade is a flintlock unit, with Li Shaobin as the brigade commander.

Among them, the third and fourth brigade, together with the cavalry regiment, and the artillery battalion formed the first division, with Wu Changqing as the division commander, personally commanding it, and stationed in Suzhou. This force is their core main force and will be transferred wherever there is a decisive battle.

Dai Zhijun no longer leads troops. As a military division, he sits in the Central Army and is responsible for strategic planning, overall scheduling, and logistical supply. Although he no longer leads soldiers, his power has not become smaller, but has grown a bit bigger instead.

In the entire adaptation plan, most people are satisfied.

Li Shaobin took charge of the most elite army, Wang Dayong led the army alone, and Liu Hansan also had his favorite firearms. Although it is not a flintlock unit, it is also a blunderbuss at any rate, and they are all guns.

All three of his veterans have benefited greatly.

As for Dong Tianbao, who had the most troops, he still has the same troops now, which is acceptable. After all, he is a surrender.

For him, the only regrettable thing is that he will be directed by Wu Changqing in the future, without the power of independent command, not as free as Liu Hansan and the others.

The only depressed person is Wu Yi. Although he has returned to his old navy, his strength has been greatly reduced.
