After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, Li Huan, Liu Quan, and Li Jun after understanding the meaning were all a little surprised.

This is a little different from Qi Jiguang's tactics. These three people had all heard of Qi Jiguang's car formation. After all, not to mention the Japanese Kou, when Qi Jiguang was guarding Jizhen Jizhen, I didn't dare to come to attack, who in the north didn't know the might of Grandpa Qi? It was the remnants of the Zhejiang soldiers left by thousands of Qi Jiguang, who also made Jiannu suffer a lot on the battlefield in Liaodong.

When they heard that Zhu Cihong was going to see the chariot formation, they naturally quickly restored the two chariots in Qi Jiguang's army.

Seeing Zhu Cihong's denial of Qi Jiguang, Li Jun and Li Huan were a little dazed, but Zhu Cihong, as the commander-in-chief, issued an order, so they naturally didn't dare to resist: "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

Liu Quan on the side pondered bitterly, and I didn't know if I understood the meaning.

However, Xu Yanqi and Liu Sheng were quite happy. If the next battle is dominated by chariots, then there will be many changes in the fight, not to mention that it is difficult to adapt, and it means that the infantry has been weakened.

In this regard, Zhu Cihong did not explain further.

Previously, the main tactics of the army, Zhu Cihong had been pondering for a long time and had not made up his mind.

Among them, although the Spanish phalanx can be said to be a historical trend, Zhu Cihong does not have too many tendencies. Although the military training in Shandong Town has always had phalanx training, it was a kind of queue training. Platoon training is basic battle formation training. It's like a primary module, which can be assembled into a variety of things. At the same time, queue training also helps to wear out the individuality of soldiers, enhance the collective consciousness of soldiers, and deploy troops more quickly and efficiently.

What Zhu Cihong wants to build is a team that is different from the era of cold weapons. A modern army with a generational gap. But that doesn't mean the Spanish phalanx is the only way out.

Different from the generational difference army of cold weapons, this naturally refers to the trend of firearms troops.

in this regard. Zhu had a stronger advantage than any military commander of this era. This is because Zhu Cihong has begun to gradually establish and improve the army's logistics system.

Among them. There is not only the Military Affairs Department that has been continuously improved under the auspices of Chang Zhilang and Si Qi, but also the special status of the Linqing Tax Division as a support. In addition, Sheng Zhongquan of Linqing Zhizhou and local tyrant Yang Chuan also helped a lot.

All these allowed Zhu Cihong to have a relatively abundant supply of military supplies. A steady stream of military rations, meat, and meat allowed the army to be supported by high-intensity training. Expensive Lumi guns break down every day, they need to be rebuilt when they are scrapped, and daily training and even intense combat can lead to astronomical ammunition consumption. This is a terrifying thing for other officers and soldiers, but for Zhu Cihong, he only feels quite relaxed.

On the issue of military spending, Zhu Cihong had the remaining 30,000 taels of initial military spending. Later, there were more than 100,000 taxes and silver that had not yet set off for the north, and then the Dongming Dynasty won more than 100,000 yuan from Li Yan and the Red Lady in the first battle. These add up to 300,000 taels. Obviously, this has not yet calculated the subsequent tax and silver of the tax division, as well as the supplements of Henan, Shandong and other places.

Such abundant military spending allowed Zhu Cihong to improve the army's logistics system one after another in a willful manner. For example, military hospitals, such as prisoner of war camps, such as ...... On the Yellow River, hundreds of fully loaded fleets come and go between Linqing and Liuyuankou day and night.

In terms of logistics, which are ahead of the level of his contemporaries, Zhu Cihong's modernization has also progressed rapidly. This means that Zhu Cihong can control the army of Shandong Town on another level.

Because of military logistics. Even if Liu Zeqing wants to cooperate with Zhu Cihong's regime, it is absolutely impossible to maintain such a military force that consumes terror.

Coupled with Zhu Cihong's slow literacy campaign, the military academy of the Guards, and the authority of the Military Affairs Department on personnel appointments and dismissals, Zhu Cihong ensured that this army could be perfectly controlled. Strangled the hidden dangers of the soldiers in advance.

There are many such firearms. Commanding a powerful army clearly has the potential to surpass the contemporaneous armies. However, how to give full play to the potential into combat effectiveness requires a tactical thinking.

The most basic thing in tactical thinking is the battle formation.

Is to believe in Gonzalo. Morality. Cordoba. Or do you recognize Qi Jiguang more?

No, neither the Spanish Grand Phalanx nor the Mandarin Duck Car Formation is Zhu Cihong's final choice.

Now. Zhu Cihong has already made a choice.

The Spanish phalanx is in line with the historical trend, because firearms are the core of hot weapons to replace cold weapons. So. The Spanish phalanx is a highly efficient military formation that can give full play to the combat effectiveness of firearms armies.

But this does not mean that Zhu Cihong has no other choice.

Zhu Cihong knew that Qi Jiguang had never given up on the advancement of firearms. It was Qi Jiguang's status during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty that determined that the Ming court would not give a military general the power to break through the restraints.

Firearming means a huge logistical test, a huge amount of military supplies, and more importantly, the army will erode more resources.

Either way, they didn't get the support of the civilian court.

This was most evident during the War of Resistance against the Japanese, when Yu Dayou, a contemporary of Qi Jiguang, hoped to establish a firearms navy to resist the Japanese. But this means changing the structure of financial power in the Ming provinces and even in the central government. So he failed unsurprisingly.

But Zhu Cihong can obviously continue to follow Qi Jiguang's unfinished footprints. It not only promoted Qi Jiguang's attempt at firearms, but also absorbed the brilliant military strategy of improving the army's combat effectiveness under the limited use of firearms.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong absorbed Qi Jiguang's war tactics.

This meant that the weak artillery gained the strength of a frontal battle.

Of course, Qi Jiguang's tactics are not to use a tank as a tank. Qi Jiguang's tactics are the coordination of arms and weapons. In the mandarin duck formation, there are wolf warriors, pikemen, short soldiers and shield bearers. The combination of various weapons made the Japanese samurai who were strong in martial arts and fought bravely encounter a catastrophe.

Facing the Mongolian cavalry in the northern steppe, Qi Jiguang added a car battalion on the basis of the Mandarin Duck Formation. At the same time, the participation of cavalry in the army was increased.

In the end, there was a mandarin duck array in close combat, and there was a chariot battalion artillery in the long range, and the cavalry could restrain the Mongolian cavalry whether it was riding a horse as an infantry to play a mandarin duck formation or riding a horse to slash and kill.

The cooperation of the arms and weapons has made the combat effectiveness of the Qi family army vividly displayed.

This is Zhu Cihong's military thinking to promote the Che Ying.

But Zhu Cihong apparently did not forget the firearms of the Spanish phalanx. He understood the need to expand the musketeers in the Spanish phalanx. As long as Zhu Cihong insists on promoting the expansion of firearms and satisfying the logistical support for the firearms army, the length of the phalanx is no longer important.

So, whether it is the four-sided spear and four-cornered musket, or the long formation, the middle pikeman, and the two-winged musketeer have the answer. (To be continued......)
