It is naturally excellent to have this kind of spirit, but if it is too much, it is easy to go wrong and make mistakes. Dong Ce looked for this reason and knocked two sentences, which also cooled down their feverish minds a little.

The two hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, but Dong Ce didn't say anything more, just gently lifted the matter over. Whether they can understand their intentions depends on their own talents, and when it comes to this, it is enough.

Dong Ce pointed to the stack of booklets in front of him, and said, "This official has long known that you don't have this mind, so he has prepared it with you a long time ago." Later, everyone will come to me and receive three books, namely "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", "Practical Records of Military Training", and "Miscellaneous Collection of Military Training". Take it back and think about it carefully, it is best to put forward some opinions and suggestions, if it is good, this officer will not only inform the whole army, but also greatly reward! ”

Naturally, the crowd responded.

In fact, Dong Ce said the same thing, and he didn't expect them to come up with any good improvement and prevention. These three are the essence of Qi Jiguang's lifelong training and leading troops, condensing the lifelong efforts of this old general, and it can even be said that it is the culmination of the entire Ming Dynasty's training and leading methods. Such a masterpiece, extremely refined, incisive, a sentence is worth pondering for a long time, it can really be described as a whip and a mark, a slap and a palm of blood, where can it be improved at will?

Books are not difficult to buy, in fact, at this time, Qi Jiguang's military books have a very large circulation, basically officers of more than 100 households, even if they are for the sake of appearance, they will buy these three children's books and put them at home. Of course, the vast majority of generals are illiterate, and it is possible that these books will never be read in their lifetime. In fact, they are guarding the mountain of gold without knowing it. You don't need to have any talent, you just need to follow the steps and do things according to the rules to train a magic book that will not be bad, and search all over the world, where to find it? If it was in Europe at this time, it would definitely be regarded as a treasure, but in Daming, it would be sunk and buried.

These books were bought back by Dong Cetuo Zhao Assembly, and Zhao's shopkeeper also confiscated the money, in fact, he often did some similar actions during this time. But if Dong Ce or Li Gui asked him to buy some small things that were not very valuable, they would not be cashiered. As the so-called benefit without expense, it is a good way to connect feelings and enhance friendship. Dong Ce naturally knows all these things, but he doesn't care about it. If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no fugitives, as long as it is not a big mistake, there is no need to worry too much. He doesn't want saints, and most of the sour Confucian students who claim to be saints and disciples are dragging their feet when they start doing things.

In these books, there was no miscellaneous collection of military training, and in fact, Dong Ce only recently started reading this book. The new book of training and recording is very famous, and he has heard about it more than once in later generations, so he asked someone to buy it early. After reading it for the first time, it was true, and later I learned that there was also a miscellaneous book of military training.

As a matter of fact, the correct name of the miscellaneous collection of military training should be "Actual Records of Military Training -- Miscellaneous Collections", which is a collection of nine volumes and six volumes of miscellaneous collections. Qi Jiguang's military training began in the second year of Longqing, and the actual time when the training was written was at the end of the fourth year of Longqing or the beginning of the fifth year of Longqing. The six volumes of "Miscellaneous Collections" were written from the Longqing period to the early years of Wanli, and they were included in the "Actual Record of Military Training" in the Wanli period.

This book is an important supplement to the new book on military training and discipline, and it even has illustrations. Moreover, in terms of establishment, considerable improvements have been made to the actual record of military training, and some of the improvements are even epoch-making in Dong Ce's view.

For example, in "The Actual Record of Military Training", the formation of the infantry battalions in the three northern towns is very similar to the mixed grouping mode of the Qijia army and the horse battalion, but the explanation of the infantry battalion in the later part of the "Miscellaneous Collection of Military Training" is a new epoch-making grouping method. The hot and cold weapons are separated separately, unlike the horse battalion in the middle of the light cavalry unit of the unit to separate the hot and cold weapons, the other left and right parts are still a mixture of cold and hot weapons, while the infantry battalion is the left, middle and right three teams from the grassroots level to separate the cold and hot weapons, still based on the three or three formations of the horse battalion, and the standard mandarin duck formation mode of the original formation of the Qi family army is used as the basic tactical application.

Then Dong Ce explained the mandarin duck array to everyone.

He still has a very thorough understanding of this, and during these days, the three military books have basically been turned over by him, and he is from the afterlife after all, and he has his own unique views on many things, and there are many things to be improved. I have written a lot about my experience, and of course, it is still in the stage of talking on paper. If you really want to improve, you have to practice watching it, and then talk about it.

The mandarin duck formation is a killer team with twelve people as a team of presidents, and there are two teams under it, and each team has a team leader. The first is the team leader, holding a flag gun, thinking that the command, the second two hold a long card, a rattan card, the long player holds a long shield to block the arrows and spears of the Japanese Kou, the rattan hand holds a light rattan shield and has a javelin, waist knife, the long player and the rattan player mainly cover the rear team forward, and the rattan player can also fight with the enemy in close combat in addition to covering.

The other two are wolf wrestlers and hold wolf whives. The wolf is made of large bamboo, like holding a small tree, and the branches attached to the four sides are cut off, and the branches are knotted. It can be two inches thick, five or six feet long, people cover the whole body with gestures, swords and guns are stabbed, and they must not enter, so people are bold and arrogant, and they are used as the forefront, which is a sharp weapon for killing Japanese in the south. The Wolf Shooter uses the blade at the tip of the Wolf Whip to stab the enemy to cover the shield player's advance and the spearman's attack behind. Then there were four spearmen with spears, two on the left and two on the right, and the shieldmen and wolf-bearers on the left and right in front of them.

Finally, two soldiers armed with "boring palladium" were followed up to serve as guards and supporters. The last one is the man, who uses a sharpened iron pole with two sharp ends, and is responsible for carrying heavy loads, lighting fires and cooking, and at the same time fighting.

The "Mandarin Duck Array" not only closely combines the spear and the shield, the long and the short, giving full play to the effectiveness of various weapons, but also changing the formation flexibly. According to the situation and operational needs, the column can be changed into a horizontal formation, and a formation can be changed into two small formations on the left and right, or three small formations on the left, center, and right. When it becomes two small formations, it is called "two talent formations", and the left and right shield players are accompanied by the left and right wolf hand, spearman and short soldier respectively, to guard its attack; When it becomes a three-small formation, it is called the "three-talent array", and at this time, the wolf hand, the pikeman and the short soldier are in the center. Shield-bearers are guarded on the left and right sides. This changed formation is also known as the "Mandarin Duck Formation". If the enemy attacks in a roundabout way, the short soldier will rush forward with a short knife to slash the enemy. The division of labor of various weapons is clear, and as long as each person is proficient in his own kind of operation, the key to effective killing of the enemy lies in overall cooperation and prohibition. The use of this formation was flexible and maneuverable, which just suppressed the play of the advantage of the Japanese invaders.

Qi Jiguang led the Qi family's army, using the mandarin duck array, and the battle with the Japanese invaders, and every battle was successful.

Later, he moved to Jizhen and trained soldiers and horses to defend against Mongolia, because the geography, temperature, and even products in the north were different from those in the south, so he made some improvements.

In terms of the basic tactics of the infantry, the infantry battalion of the three towns in the north that Qi Jiguang had just begun to organize was different from the Qi family army in the south. The southern Qi family army is the player and the rattan player as the captain, and the north has joined the southern Qi army Mandarin Duck Formation basic formation does not have the hot weapon bird gun hand as the captain, the second soldier is also the southern Qi army does not have the hot weapon fast gunner, the third soldier is the rattan player, the fourth soldier is the wolf hand, and the fifth soldier is the palladium hand. The title of the squad leader is the same as that of the horse battalion, and it is renamed the team leader, plus the team leader directly under the firefighters, a total of 12 people are a team.

The bird guns to which the Qi family army belonged in the south were concentrated in the infantry battalion and were not dispersed to the basic combat team, while the infantry battalion in the three northern towns was organized at the beginning, and Qi Jiguang mixed the cold and hot weapons into one basic combat unit. At this time, the formation of the infantry battalion of the three towns in the north was a mixture of cold and hot weapons, and the later formation was to separate the bird guns from other cold weapons and form an army individually.

The weapon configuration of the infantry battalion in the early stage was similar to that of the southern Qijia army, except that some adjustments were made in order to adapt to the weapon usage habits of the northern troops and the acquisition of materials. For example, rattan and bamboo are not produced in the north, and rattan cards are changed to wooden round cards, and wolf rafts are changed to spears. The hot weapon fast gun used in the north is different from the bird gun in the south, so in addition to the two bird guns, two other fast guns are also compiled. When the mandarin duck array is opened, the first layer is the rattan player, the second layer is the wolf hand, the third layer is the palladium hand, the fourth layer is the bird hand, at this time the bird hand is changed to a long knife, the fifth layer is the fast gunner, and the fast gun head is equipped with a short blade and is a knife stick.

The so-called long knife is a kind of large knife held by both hands similar to the shape of the Japanese knife, because it needs to hold the knife in both hands, so it is also called a two-handed knife, in fact, it is an enlarged version of the Qi family knife, and the long knife is very different from the waist knife type system of the Ming Dynasty official system.

In fact, the Mandarin Duck Formation is by no means the kind of powerful and invincible tactics that many people in later generations boasted of, and the essence of Qi Jiguang's three military books is not in a Mandarin Duck Formation, but a method of leading troops to train soldiers. He taught the generals of mediocre qualifications how to forge a group of peasants and miners into an iron army that was forbidden by order. It can be said that Qi Jiguang's understanding of people's hearts is very thorough. The Mandarin Duck Array is just one of them. In all fairness, the Mandarin Duck Formation has a way to crack it, and it is not suitable for large corps operations. And the problem is that Dong Ce just doesn't need a large army to fight, he is self-aware, he knows that with his current ability and strength, he doesn't want to participate in large-scale battles at all, if he really gets involved, he will only be crushed to pieces. The Mandarin Duck Formation is flexible, changeable, suitable for various terrains, and is most suitable for small-scale wars with a small number of people, which is exactly what Dong Ce wants.
