Chapter 1096: The Southern Suburbs Camp
Since Fei Qian is going to stay in Pingyang for a while, waiting for the arrival of the autumn harvest, it is necessary to have a large stationing place. The original school yard is already overwhelmed in the face of today's larger army, which is equivalent to building a new camp.
Fidive needs a large semi-permanent battalion. Not only is there a certain distance from Binh Duong, not far nor close, but also needs convenient transportation and convenient travel, so I simply found a site in the southern suburbs of Binh Duong and began to build a camp. At present, Binh Duong has a lot of industries, and there is no shortage of manpower and craftsmen, so after the decision was made, it can be regarded as the start of construction, and the flowing water like materials are concentrated from everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, it has become a large construction site in the southern suburbs of Binh Duong.
This place is not far from Fenshui, it is convenient to get water, and not far away is the official road, whether it is to the south or north, it can be quickly dispatched, and it is important to isolate the army from ordinary soldiers, which is convenient for restraint and training, and it can also be regarded as a satellite town attached to Binh Duong.
At this time, in addition to routine patrols and training, most of the soldiers also participated in the labor, clearing vegetation, tamping the ground, tidying up ditches, excavating earth, etc., and everywhere you looked, there were sweaty and shirtless men everywhere.
If there is no war going on, the most important thing in the day is training, training and training, so even the heavy labor does not seem to be a big burden for these full-time soldiers now.
The vegetation that had been slightly scattered and uneven was removed, and the ground was rammed, and a trench was dug around the camp to extract soil on the one hand, and to use it as a trench for the camp. After the trench, the passage between the soldiers and horses was outlined in the lime powder, and the location of the soldiers' tents was also outlined, and the well in the camp was also selected.
On the open space prepared on the side, a team of cowhide felt tents transported by carts and horses were stacked like hills, and some soldiers were constantly transporting tents and then going to the cantonment area to set them up.
The camp covers a very large area, and at this glance, it seems to be boundless, and it is more than enough to accommodate 30,000 or 40,000 troops......
The rest of the places may begin to be built one after another, but the Chinese army tent must be built in the first step, so in the center of the camp, the majestic Chinese army tent has been set up, a team of guards is on duty around the perimeter, and the various flags outside the tent are densely covered.
Now there are thousands of soldiers and men who are busy around the camp, and the crowds are surging and busy. In other words, these people are completely different from the armies in the rest of the Han Dynasty before, they don't need to participate in ordinary farming, and they don't need to worry about whether their rations are available from time to time, and they don't have to worry about the salaries and equipment, they only need to worry about the military regulations of the general Zhengxi, and all kinds of military competitions are held from time to time.
Those who have won awards and ranked top will naturally have many rewards, unlimited scenery, and it is easy to get the opportunity to be promoted, but those who are left behind are in danger, and if they don't do well, they will be transferred to the baggage camp......
If they can't improve during the period in the baggage camp, they will naturally be eliminated, either go home to farm, or go to various counties to be an inspector.
However, the same farming or inspection, retired due to injury and old age, and those who were lazy on weekdays were eliminated and retired, which are completely different concepts, and the corresponding treatment is very different, so none of these soldiers and soldiers are not desperately training seriously, and they dare not slack off.
The added effect of this is that these soldiers have completely become the most reliable group of generals in the west. Because these people all know that only here is General Zhengxi, whether he serves in the army, or retires in the future, or dies on the battlefield without that life, he doesn't dare to say anything else, such a high salary, if he goes to any prince, or any other place, it is impossible to get it again......
"That's it! Let go of all the work in your hands! It's time to eat! Get in line! The team rate is staring at the point, and the team will line up first, and the team will put the meal first! A military marquis stood beside a simple straw hut on one side, striking a gong and pulling his neck and shouting.
Pingyang is close to the left, and these big-headed soldiers don't have to cook their own food, but they are directly transported from Pingyang City by horse-drawn carriage. At present, on the long table in the straw hut, steaming wooden barrels were already on the table, and the fire-headed soldiers were standing behind the wooden barrels with wooden spoons. Next to the barrel were baskets of coarse dough pancakes, the size of a fist, piled high and tempting.
There are no dishes, only soup. However, although this soup is also mostly vegetable and wild melon seeds, at least some meat and bones are boiled, which is also good, and you can see oil flowers under a spoonful, and even if you are lucky, you can also get some minced meat on the meat bone stick, which is enough to make ordinary farmers and civilians envy and saliva to stay.
In addition, each person has two black coarse noodle cookcakes, although they are rough, but they are hungry and full, so everyone eats with a smile......
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and then someone shouted:
"General Zhengxi has arrived!"
I saw a team of people, holding the banner of Fei Qian, coming from Pingyang and entering the half-built camp. In the camp, both soldiers and laborers hurriedly bowed to the ground.
Huang Cheng also came out of the barracks tent, and took a few steps forward to pull the reins of the war horse for Fei Qian, so that Fei Qian could easily dismount.
Fei Qian smiled and said loudly: "The army talks about military law, don't do those vulgar rituals, don't kneel, get up!" ”
The soldiers agreed in a hurry, and then they all stood up, looking eagerly at Fei Qian, looking at their supreme commander, who was also their food and clothing, and even the source of their family's future wealth!
Fei Qian turned over and dismounted, and while walking forward, he casually called the names of one or two soldiers, asked a few words, and occasionally stood up, and then patted the shoulder of the soldier whose name was called, chatted with a smile, and asked about the situation at home, before continuing to move forward.
Behind him, the soldiers whose names were called were so smiling that they couldn't close their mouths, and then they were quickly surrounded by other soldiers, patting and rubbing left and right with envy, as if this could also be contaminated with some joy and luxury.
Now Feiqian has nearly 10,000 cavalry, but it is scattered into three parts, one part is in Yinshan, one is in Diaoyin, and the rest are here in Pingyang. In terms of foot soldiers, heavy armor and strong crossbowmen are basically here in Binh Duong, and there are also some sword and shield men, pikemen, etc., so there are a lot.
According to Fei Qian's meaning, it is to recruit some new soldiers, and together with these veterans, build a field army of about 20,000 to 30,000. Then, with such an infantry structure as the main body, more and larger field regiments will be built if there is an opportunity in the future.
After all, the subtle experience of a veteran on the battlefield, even if a recruit has undergone more training, cannot be completely compared before he goes into battle. With the teaching of veterans, it will naturally be easier and faster for the new army to take shape......
Fei Qian walked all the way and talked and laughed, and before he knew it, he walked to the place of the grass hut, and saw everyone queuing up to receive food, and he was not polite, so he stepped forward and grabbed a black flour coarse cake in the basket, opened his mouth and took a bite.
In fact, the coarse cake is not exactly wheat, even buckwheat is available, and there are some sorghum rice, etc., and even the bran husk has not been completely removed, so such cakes are not delicious or bad at all, but are only used to fill the stomach.
Of course, in comparison, it is naturally much stronger than the stick paste that those farmers drink, but compared to the small pot stir-fry that Fei Qian eats on weekdays, it is far behind......
However, Fei Qian didn't show any expression that was difficult to swallow, he gnawed most of the black flour cake in three or two bites, and then puffed out his cheeks, took the bowl of vegetable soup that had just been beaten in the wooden barrel handed over by Huang Cheng on the side, and after pouring half a bowl, he stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth a few bites, and finally drank up the residual soup in the bowl.
After eating, Fei Qian held the wooden bowl, smacked his mouth like an old farmer, and said, "It's okay, it's just that the taste is lighter, let people put more green salt next time...... In this hot summer, if you don't eat more salt, I'm afraid you will lose your strength. ”
Huang Cheng hurriedly responded.
Fei Qian put down the wooden bowl, then looked at the soldiers who were watching him on the side, and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Just look at me and be able to eat? If these people don't get all this food back, I'll just stand here and let everyone see it! ”
The soldiers present burst into laughter, and then they relented and lined up to receive their meals as usual......
"Let's go, go to the tent and sit ......" Fei Qian also laughed, and then beckoned Huang Cheng, ready to go to the Chinese army tent to talk about the soldiers, but at this time, a herald came to the front, saying that the king of Hedong Wang Yi took a few men and horses, and the party had reached thirty miles away, so please Fei Qian decide.
"What is Wang Hedong doing here?" Fei Qian frowned slightly.
"Junhou, do you want to know Pingyang?" Seeing this, Huang Cheng asked, after all, Wangyi is also a county guard, so it is naturally more appropriate to meet him in Pingyang City.
Fei Qian thought for a moment, but shook his head and said, "No, it's here!" Uncle Ye, you are fortunate to have a trip, go to meet a certain person first......"
………………………………
Wang Yi has not lived very peacefully these days, and his face and belly, which were originally a little fat, are now losing a lot of weight.
There's no way, in the past few years, the situation has indeed changed too fast, so fast that Wang Yi thinks that he is a relatively smart self, but he can't adapt to it, there are too many chaotic and complicated clues, and his mental strength is a little haggard.
Compared with the ever-changing later generations, the rhythm of the original Han Dynasty was indeed very slow.
Farmers generally plant one crop a year, from spring to autumn; Merchants generally travel once a year, from south to north; Students read one book a year, from beginning to end......
And now, in just a few months and so on, so many things have happened, so many changes have been produced, and then these changes will derive more possible directions in the future, such a chaotic situation, how can Wang Yi not feel extremely tricky?
The chaos in Guanzhong, before and after, simply shocked Wang Yi's jaw.
At first, Wang Yi thought that Yang Biao, who was the crown family of the world no matter what, would naturally have some upper hand, but he didn't expect that this result might not be as developed as Wang Yi expected.
In Wang Yi's original assumption, Li Guo and the others were also another group of Xiliang border soldiers in hand, and Chang'an City, plus the Han Emperor Liu Xie was also in his hands, how could there be a reason to lose so quickly?
Then whether it is Yang Biao or Fei Qian, he will naturally fall into the land of Guanzhong and fight endlessly, and then he and Li Guo will gradually consume their own reserves and reserves in the fight, and even if they win in the end, they may not be able to leave much better. And during this time period, Wang Yi can hide in the east of the river with peace of mind, quietly accumulate strength without taking the lead or causing trouble, and then wait for the day when the situation reverses......
But I didn't expect Li Guo to decay so quickly!
What Wang Yi didn't expect was that Yang Biao, as the crown family of the world, was not the winner in such a battle, but fell into the disadvantage!
This......
How embarrassing is this for Wang Yi!
At the beginning, he borrowed Yang Biao's soldiers and horses, but he didn't think that Yang Biao's chances of winning might be greater, so he risked offending Fei Qian, so he made such a decision, and now how does Wang Yi face Fei Qian?
Although Fei Qian just asked for some money and food at that time, he smiled and said that he had exposed the matter, but whether it was Fei Qian or Wang Yi, they actually understood that the so-called revelation was just to postpone the handling of the conflict......
And that's not all!
Chong Shao and Yang Biao, plus the Han Emperor Liu Xie, the chaos of that night was like a heavy hammer, smashed on Wang Yi's head!
How could Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty be so casual......
Just follow Shao out of the palace?
How could Yang Biao, the crown family of the world, be so casual......
Lost casually to a vote of soldiers brought by Fei Qian?
Oh, my God!
Wang Yi deeply felt the decline of the world, and also felt the deep malice of the current big man towards him......
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty has also arrived in Pingyang!
But Yang Biao went to Hongnong silently! It's like an old dog that has been kicked and runs back to his own turf with his tail between his legs!
Damn it!
Not only that, Liu Xie, the Han Emperor who arrived in Pingyang, also went to Yinshan to worship heaven and earth and hold a Zen sealing ceremony!
This!
Why can't this change of events be done according to Wang Yi's own vision?
And then what?
Although it is said that when Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty went to Heluo, Wang Yi also deliberately greeted him, provided grain and grass, and entered the scarf and silk, and was also cordially received and praised by Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and even entered the Guannei Hou, which finally somewhat appeased Wang Yi's already collapsed heart......
But after the joy, after the Han Emperor Liu Xie left Hedong, new problems were placed in front of Wang Yi.
Now Wang Yi himself is on the side of Fei Qian's couch!
And if Fei Qian, a fierce tiger, really makes a move, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist. As a last resort, Wang Yi, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally took the first step and took some people to Pingyang, ready to ease the relationship with the tiger Feiqian......
