Please ask me to be the emperor

Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a long time after hearing this, and couldn't help but bowed and said: "How dare you disobey your orders!"

"It's just that as the saying goes, 'It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.' Although Xiang Sheng is brave, he will be exhausted even if he tries to kill dozens of people."

"Now that King Shun has entrusted me with military affairs, I dare not slack off. Please allow me to select and train elite soldiers to prepare for emergencies. I can kill the enemy and perform meritorious service to serve King Shun!"

What is called a person who does things is a person who does things.

Since he accepted Zhang Shun's appointment, Lu Xiangsheng did not avoid suspicion and immediately asked for military training.

"Of course it is. Does Jiandou have any plans for this matter?" Zhang Shun nodded, not feeling too taboo about this person in his heart.

Nowadays, the rebel army has strong soldiers and horses, and there are many talents. Zhang Shun's men are not limited to his own battalion. Now that Lu Xiangsheng has defected to the rebel army, is there any reason to be suspicious?

"I have two strategies, please choose King Shun!" Lu Xiangsheng heard the words and bowed, "One is like other generals of the rebel army, and they also train three thousand regular soldiers into a battalion, equipped with men, horses, bows and arrows, armor, muskets, and artillery. It will be completed in March.”

"If you attack like this, you will conquer, and if you fight, you will win, just like other generals. But if it is like this, King Shun must have no shortage of such a battalion under his command."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun was very interested when he heard this and couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that Jiandou has other ideas?"

"In the matter before Meng Chen's constitution, it is very important to use troops as expected. To suppress the enemy, it is better to attack at night. The thieves, officers and soldiers, and the Tartars will plunder and kill during the day, and their strength will be exhausted."

"Every time at the third or fourth watch, he is soundly asleep and unable to wake up. Sincere soldiers are brave, strong in body, nimble in movement, good at climbing heights and risking dangers, galloping, riding and shooting, and hiding in day and night."

"Sneaking into their camp at night and killing them with all their strength, or secretly taking their horses, bows and arrows, setting fire to their camp and their supplies, or making endless noises and disrupting the morale of the troops. This is a good strategy to control the enemy, and you must be prepared for it!"

"But how can such soldiers be so successful?"

"You must always choose a coach, make sure your hands and feet are handy, your courage is sufficient, your mind is strong, and your breathing is responsive, so that it can be used when the time comes."

"I want to set up a battalion, one from a hundred miles, all with elite cavalry, about a thousand people in total, and call it: Qi Army."

"Those who are younger than fourteen will not be used, and those who are older than forty will not be used. Those who are strong and strong but have dull eyes will be eliminated; those who are tall and bloated will be eliminated; those who are blindfolded will be eliminated 'If you have tinnitus, we will eliminate it; if you have tinnitus and deafness, we will also eliminate it."

"Make sure everyone dares to fight, and the orders are consistent. If you mount your horse, you will rush left and right, unstoppable; if you dismount, you will climb over the mountains and ridges, as if walking on flat ground; if you go out at night, there will be no sound, and it will be as light as a cat; if you lie down during the day, you will be like a tiger lying on a barren hill, lurking its claws and claws. Waiting for prey.”

When Zhang Shun heard this, he thought, isn't this the special forces? I didn’t expect you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so thoughtful.

Later generations of special operations forces were first established during World War II. They mainly temporarily selected or recruited outstanding officers and soldiers from combat forces to form small-scale assault forces to carry out reconnaissance, sabotage, harassment, kidnapping and assassination activities against the enemy.

Of course, if that's all, there's nothing special about this special forces unit.

China has had a tradition of selecting elite troops since the Warring States Period. Sun Tzu once said in "The Art of War": A general cannot predict the enemy and unite the masses with a small number. The army has no choice of front, and it is said to be in the north.

North means defeat. It can be seen that at least during the Warring States Period, generals who were good at using troops had the habit of selecting elites and conducting surprise attacks on key parts of the enemy.

So what is the difference between special operations forces and "selected fronts"? That is the special operations forces of later generations. Based on the combat objectives, they will conduct strict special operations training, manufacture and issue special operations weapons, and form specific combat tasks and fixed corresponding establishments.

Lu Xiangsheng's suggestion of "building a surprise army" this time is quite similar to the strategy of "selecting frontmen" and "housekeepers". In fact, upon closer inspection, it is clear that it is already a strategy with the specific purpose of attacking camps, night battles and surprise attacks. Special operations thinking.

He couldn't help but smile and said: "Jiandou's thoughts are higher than others, it is really amazing."

"I don't know how to recruit its personnel, how to organize its troops, how to select and train its soldiers, how to fight the strange army, and how much money it will cost?"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard Zhang Shun's words, he immediately felt like a confidant.

Although Zhang Shun chatted a few words, each sentence was practical, but those who have not experienced it personally will not know the key points.

He couldn't help but responded quickly: "Soldiers of Qi Army, I am just about to ask for an order from King Shun. I want to select the entire rebel army. I must strive for excellence and personally examine it. I dare not slack off at all!"

"The organization of the troops is also the same as the rebel army. We dare not change it. When the soldiers are ready, I will send advance troops at night to explore the military situation. If I know that the enemy is really unprepared, I will attack them at night!"

"If you miss with one hit, you will be thousands of miles away. Wait for the next opportunity, take advantage of it, and attack again!"

"As for food and wages, I know that the rebel army is currently receiving about one tael per month, while the cavalry army is receiving more than two taels per month. I would like to add three points of silver per person per day. In total, an army will spend an extra thirty taels of silver, and an extra nine taels of silver per month. One hundred taels.”

"However, its number is only one-third of the regular camp. Calculated in terms of horse troops, it is no more than two thousand. If we add three-thirds of silver, the monthly salary of one battalion is only 2,900 taels."

"And the regular camp has seven infantry and three horses, one tael of silver for the infantry, and two taels of silver for the horse army. The total monthly salary is 3,900 taels of silver. It is more than the number of one thousand of our strange army."

It turns out that in the original history, when Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Yunyang, he commanded the guest army and defeated the peasant army many times. Later, he appealed to the imperial court and requested the establishment of a standard camp.

However, most of the battalions under his command were mainly infantry. He had to rely on frontier cavalry such as Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen to fight against the peasant army.

At that time, the peasant army company killed the Ming army generals Cao Wenzhao and Ai Wannian, and defeated You Shiwei. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, was discouraged.

Lu Xiangsheng, then Prime Minister of Jiangbei, Henan, Shandong, Huguang, and Sichuan Military Affairs, and governor of Huguang, led his officers and soldiers to defeat the peasant army in Ruzhou and in Queshan.

He killed the leader of the rebel army "Shaking the Sky" in Chuzhou, and then drove fifty miles north, filling ditches and trenches with corpses so that the Chu River could not flow.

He defeated the "crossing general" Li Zicheng again at Qiding Mountain and wiped out almost all his elite cavalry, which made him famous all over the world.

In this series of battles, the peasant army was like a lost dog and had to hide in the mountains of Jingxiang. It fully demonstrated his characteristics of pursuing and attacking fiercely and taking unexpected risks.

However, as a "firefighter" Lu Xiangsheng is almost always mobilized to "put out fires" wherever there is a difficulty.

Later, although the "Selection and Training of Strange Soldiers" was presented to Chongzhen, 1,500 "surprise soldiers" were selected from the three towns of Xuanda.

Unfortunately, they are all scattered in various guard posts and military forts, and are not organized separately.

So much so that until he was defeated and died, he still had not developed a smooth and reliable standard battalion.

Now Lu Xiang has been captured by the rebels and is trapped in prison. In his spare time, he can't help but summarize his experience in "suppressing bandits" in Yunyang. He actually put forward the "selecting and training of extraordinary soldiers" two years earlier than Zhang Shun's previous life. "Of the policy.

"Okay, very good!" Zhang Shun raised his hands and smiled after hearing this, "But Jiandou said it was easier than he said!"

"Since we have a new army, we must get rid of the old army's staleness, recruit new soldiers, reorganize and train them, and strive to be completely new!"

"What's the matter? The land under the jurisdiction of the rebel army has many foot soldiers but few cavalry troops. What can we do about it!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"What's so difficult about this? People are not born with knowledge, and even when they are born, they first crawl on all fours, and then change to walking on two legs. Only when they have oxen and horses do they know how to ride!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

"The folk customs in Lushi, Songxian, Tangxian, Dengzhou and other places are fierce and fierce, and killing people is their profession. Crossing mountains and ridges is like walking on flat ground, making use of guns, wielding sticks, shooting bows and arrows, and other things!"

"It's just that there are few horses in the land, so they can't be ridden! Why don't you use stilts to select agile and practical men, purchase war horses, and teach them how to ride, and then your army can be successful!"

"In the future, if you encounter an enemy in the plains, use his four hooves to trample his camp; if you encounter an enemy in a mountainous area, abandon your horse and climb the mountain to wait for the rest of your business. You should kill the enemy until there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Such is the way of 'King Lu Yama' Your name should be known to the world!"
