Chapter 126: The Black Flag Army of the Great Song Dynasty

The so-called army, the so-called soldier is the most important thing is to obey the military order, and the strong soldier is to be able to be ten on the battlefield, the general is united, the city is united, the battle must be overcome, the attack must be taken, the brave and good at fighting, the battle is invincible, fast as the wind, as fierce as fire, all actions obey the military order, the military order is like a mountain.

"Strict military discipline, clear rewards and punishments, this is the ancient way of governing the army." In a barracks outside Quanzhou City, Li Sanjian said to the newly recruited Quanzhou soldiers: "If you violate military law, you will inevitably be punished, and no one, including this officer, will be exempt." If there is a punishment, there will be a reward, you want glory, money, food, land, and even women, in my Quanzhou, this official will do my best to satisfy you, but there is no free food in the world, these things, you must exchange for war achievements. ”

Li Sanjian then looked at the people standing solemnly, and then instructed Shankui and Xu Biao: "Please military flags." ”

Hearing this, Shan Kui, Xu Biao and others held out a black military flag and hung it high on the flagpole.

Embroidered on top of the black military flag was a huge blood-red wolf head, which opened its bloody mouth, revealing two rows of terrifying sharp teeth.

The black wolf flag is in the sea breeze, waving in the wind, and the red wolf on the flag is like a living, moving with the wind.

Li Sanjian pressed his sword and walked to the flag, and the red cloak behind him fluttered slightly in the sea breeze.

"This flag is the 'Black Wolf Flag'... Li Sanjian looked up at the black wolf flag, stroked the horn of the flag, as if stroking his own woman, and said: "The dog travels thousands of miles to eat, the wolf travels thousands of miles to eat meat, brothers, are you willing to eat meat or?" ”

"Haha, of course we are willing to eat meat, who is willing to eat?"

"Meat, eat meat! The meat is fragrant and delicious... ”

Everyone laughed wildly.

"If you want to eat meat, you have to show the ability to eat meat, otherwise you will eat, or be eaten as meat." Li Sanjian also laughed and said: "If you want not to be eaten, you must first turn into a wolf, sons, we must be like a hungry wolf, swallow the opponent in one bite, brothers, pick up your war knife, step on your war horse, let the enemy tremble under our horses' hooves and steel knives, let the enemy's women cry in front of us, and let their wealth become your bag." Let the Quanzhou pirates become the first fragrant piece of meat in our mouths, brothers, do you want to? ”

"Haha, yes, yes!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”

Everyone shouted loudly together.

Li Sanjian then waved his hand while the iron was hot and said loudly: "From now on, my Quanzhou Army is called the Black Flag Army, the Black Flag Army of the Great Song Dynasty. From now on, this black wolf flag is the soul of our army, and the wolf is the embodiment of us, one day, I will plant the black wolf flag in the north, so that the name of my Great Song Black Flag Army will be resounded all over the country, so that the enemy army will be frightened when they see this wolf flag, and you will be proud to be a member of our Black Flag Army. ”

There are many armies in the Song Dynasty, all of which have various banners or numbers, such as the forbidden army's Xiaocai, Invincible, Zhongrui, Weibian, Kerong, Victory, Dinggong, Pinghai, etc., and each ministry has its own banner, and there are all kinds of patterns on the banner, jackals, tigers and leopards, dragons, turtles, snakes, pythons, and so on.

When going into battle, the banner of the word "Song" will be played, followed by the banner of each department's own special use

Therefore, at this time, Li Sanjian named the newly recruited Quanzhou Army as the "Black Flag Army" and used the wolf's head as the symbol of the Black Flag Army, which is nothing new.

At the same time, as soon as the banner of Quanzhou's "Black Flag Army" came out, it caused ridicule or ridicule from all departments of the Song Army. But after a few years, they couldn't laugh anymore.

This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”

All the soldiers shouted together.

"Li Wenwen, read out the military order of my Black Flag Army." Li Sanjian then instructed Li Gangdao.

When Li Gang heard this, he stepped forward and loudly announced the military law of the Black Flag Army.

"Escapees, slash!"

"Abandon the weapon, slash!"

"Kill the good and the impostor, behead!"

"Those who don't listen to orders, behead!"

。。。。。

There are a total of 18 laws and 58 beheadings and some punishment regulations, mainly including the advance and retreat of the army, combat instructions, etc., and there are also about deserters, such as one person retreats and one person is beheaded when facing the battle, the whole team retreats, the team will be beheaded, etc., and then there are prohibitions on camping and camping, such as once the large military camp is safe, it is like the courtyard of an ordinary person's house, and there is no window to climb the wall. Therefore, officers and soldiers can only enter and exit through the camp gate, whether they are generals or ordinary soldiers. You have to say slogans and go to the main gate, and you can only let you enter and exit with the slogans, and it is strictly forbidden to walk around the camp at will. In addition, when you are in a hurry, you must not let the troops or ordinary people from different places act together with your own army, once the enemy army pretends to be, it is easy to be disrupted in formation.

Li Sanjian listened expressionlessly as Li Gang announced the military law.

In fact, throughout the ages, the reason why the invincible army is invincible is nothing more than a word "kill", the ancient good use of soldiers, can kill half of the pawn, followed by the thirteenth, the eleventh one. Those who can kill half of it, Weigahaine; Kill the thirteen, and force the princes; Kill the eleven, and order the soldiers.

Famous generals throughout the ages, Sun Tzu, Wu Qi, Tian Sui Tho, Han Xin, Zhou Yafu, Zhao Chongguo, Yang Su, Yue Fei, Xu Da, Qi Jiguang, Nian Qianyao, etc., without exception, are all harsh in military discipline, Li Sanjian just wants these people to know what military discipline is and what the army is.

There are heavy penalties and heavy rewards, even if Li Sanjian smashes the pot and sells iron, he must also reward those who have made meritorious contributions.

Of course, it is not enough to have clear rewards and punishments, but simple rewards and punishments, so that the soldiers can simply carry out the order, it is possible to turn the soldiers into like the walking dead, since Pangu opened the world, the three emperors and five emperors have been spanning 90,000 miles, up and down for 5,000 years, who has ever seen the walking dead group defeat a strong enemy? An army that is well driven can only bully the weak and fear the hard, and once it encounters a hard stubble, this set of military discipline and strict rewards and punishments will not be good.

No matter how severe the killing order is, as long as the danger to the lives of those who hold on to the spot is obviously greater than that of "those who retreat, behead!" "Your life is in danger, you "retreater, slash!" "It's a stinking fart!

Isn't it just "Retreater, slash!" "What? Mess with Lao Tzu, I'll slaughter your team first! Do you have a murder knife? Lao Tzu also has a murder knife! It's not okay to kill the enemy with a murder knife in Lao Tzu's hand, but it still works to kill your team!

This is also the main reason why Li Sanjian gave them the belief to protect their families and protect their families.

"In the end, what I want to say is... After the military law was read out, Li Sanjian looked at the people with serious expressions and smiled slightly: "The generals of my Great Song Black Flag Army currently only have the commander of the military capital, the commander of the army, the commander of the army, etc., and the rest are not placed, and the army cannot be without generals, so where will it come from?" It will be chosen from among you, depending on the situation. ”

Who is he? Or what kind of person is he? After Li Sanjian left, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army looked at the back of Li Sanjian leaving, and they all said secretly in their hearts.

A scholar, supposedly, looks weak and polite, but Li Sanjian's words and deeds reveal murder, iron blood, blood, and brutality...

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Shuxing, it's not easy to build an army, and it's even more difficult to govern an army, what difficulties do you have, although it is." Li Sanjian, who was riding on a horse, said to Yao Yu, the first commander of the Black Flag Army.

"Uncle Shi, what is most lacking at present is still people, bows, crossbows, armor and other ordnance, more than 1,000 people, how can you talk about being an army? And the ordnance is even more scarce, not to mention the bow and crossbow and other ordnance, even the protruding spear cannot guarantee a handle. Yao Yu said when he heard this.

Yao Yu's word "uncle" is called unusually respectful, this is probably the first time Yao Yu has so willingly called Li Sanjian "uncle"...

"The most urgent need is a bow and crossbow?" Li Sanjian nodded and asked.

"Exactly!" Yao Yu nodded and said: "The soldiers in my army, the crossbows, ten are four or five, the bowers are two or three out of ten, and the bows and crossbows are seven or eight out of ten, and only two or three are guns, knives, and shields, so the most lacking is the bow and crossbow." ”

The Song Dynasty had cavalry, but one was that it was small in number, and the other was that it was not as strong as the northern captives, so it could only use heavy infantry and bows and crossbows to resist strong enemies in the north, especially with bows and crossbows.

The Great Song bow and crossbow are unparalleled in the world!

"There's only so much people can give you." Li Sanjian muttered when he heard this: "Bows, crossbows, armor and other ordnance are built with all their might, but these all require money, hey, what this official lacks most at present is money." ”

The cost of raising soldiers in the Song Dynasty is about 50 yuan a year for raising a forbidden army, and about 30 yuan a year for raising a box army, which does not include rewards, horse breeding, casualty pensions and other expenses.

According to Li Sanjian's idea, the Quanzhou army should refer to the standard of the forbidden army everywhere, so the annual cost of 1,000 people is about 50,000 yuan, and the annual cost of the Quanzhou boat division is even higher, the reason is that the boat division has to build ships.

At this time, Quanzhou was plagued by bandits, and the imperial court may allow Quanzhou to intercept more taxes, but it was not enough, so Li Sanjian had to find a way to solve the cost of raising troops in Quanzhou.

In addition, at this time, in addition to the thousand black flag troops in Quanzhou, there were also township soldiers, native soldiers, and Fan soldiers, who were half-peasants and half-soldiers, although they cost less, but they also cost money.

It is no wonder that many local garrisons sell alcohol and other business activities... The military sells liquor is what Li Sanjian saw with his own eyes in Lingshan County in the past.

Military business is a way, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, but he can only do business with miscellaneous soldiers such as township soldiers, native soldiers, and Fan soldiers, but more than 1,000 Black Flag troops cannot do business, and can only do things such as teaching and fighting.

However, even if Li Sanjian had enough money to raise soldiers, he did not dare to raise too many soldiers, and the reason was self-evident.

Therefore, the thousands of soldiers and horses of the Black Flag Army are almost the limit.

"Master Yao!" At this time, Zhang Kan suddenly spoke: "If almost all the crossbowmen in the army are crossbowmen, what if they are in danger and wait for the bow and crossbow to be used?" ”

"In close combat, only the sword and axe win." Yao Yu replied.
