Chapter Fifty-Nine: Jin Yiwei
"The moon revolves around the planet we live on, and our planet revolves around the sun. The line where the moon revolves around us is called the white path, and the line where we revolve around the sun is called the ecliptic.
Every day, every hour, the position of the sun, the moon, and the star chart is different.
There are 12 hours in a day, and according to the circle, it is divided into 12 angles, which is equivalent to 30 degrees of angle in each hour.
The difference is slightly larger, and I can count it in half an hour to make the angle 15 degrees.
By taking advantage of this difference in angles, observing them with specially developed equipment, and then calculating the angle and angle, we can accurately locate the angle.
But all this, we must take astronomical knowledge as a benchmark, without which accurate positioning cannot be carried out. ”
The three of them were a little dizzy and couldn't understand it. Zhao Kuangyin asked, "How to calculate?" And how can you get accurate results? ”
"That's what the New Army is going to teach, and the kids are going to write a book about it a year ago."
Zhao Guangyi asked in surprise: "Where did the second brother learn this?" Even Si Tianjian's doctor doesn't understand this, right? ”
Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly said: "Don't say it, don't say it, wait for the second brother to write it, and we'll just read it." ”
When Zhao Kuangyin said this, he was endorsing Zhao Dezhao, and even if Zhao Guangyi had more doubts, it was not easy to ask at this time.
Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but look at Zhao Dezhao, feeling that this nephew was a little incomprehensible now.
However, illness destroyed his will, a person who couldn't even pee, a person who couldn't kick his breath after walking a few steps, a person who couldn't go up at the moment, and no other ambition at all.
His only goal now is to stay alive.
At the beginning of the time, at nine o'clock in the morning of the later generations, on the Nanyuan martial arts field, 3,159 people lined up in a neat phalanx, waiting in front of the point general's platform.
Nanyuan was originally a training place for the honor guard, and the martial arts field attack could accommodate 10,000 people, and these more than 3,000 people, even if they were loosely stationed, only occupied half of the area.
The sound of gongs and drums shook, and everyone stood solemnly, waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to take the stage.
In charge of the formation was Yuan Burang, the head of the East Palace, and today, he will also become the deputy commander of the new army.
At present, he is the only one who has determined his position in the new army, but he is not responsible for leading troops, nor will he go out to fight, his duty is to supervise the army and assist Zhao Dezhao in charge of military training and military law.
This is a group of noble children who have received strict military training since childhood, although everyone accepts different concepts and the art of war, but the education of leading the army to fight has been integrated into their blood since childhood.
Only in the southwest corner of the more than 400 scholars and scholars are a little uneven, and they are still wearing scribes' robes.
This made them seem a little out of place with the larger army, but none of them slacked off.
Being able to face the emperor head-on, in the feudal era, was an incomparable glory.
Most of them are the children of Wenchen, who were influenced by their fathers and ancestors and signed up to join the army, and most of them are not the eldest sons in the family.
This is the diversified investment of the ministers, arranging the children and grandchildren who are not valued into the army to win the emperor's favor.
As for how much they attach importance to the new army, that's not true.
Only a small number of civilian scholars, seeing that the imperial examination was hopeless, thought of finding another way.
But no matter what their purpose is or what their pursuit is, there is one thing that the armies of all dynasties and dynasties have not been able to achieve, and that is that they are all literate.
Being able to read and write is a talent in this era.
With the neat beat of the drum, Zhao Kuangyin, who was wearing armor, was in front, Zhao Dezhao was one step behind, and behind him, he followed the command of the forbidden army to make Han Chongyun.
The new army is still under the command of the forbidden army, but the treatment is higher than that of other forbidden armies.
This was not the envy of the other armies of the forbidden army, because the members of this new army were almost all the descendants of the noble class of the entire Song dynasty.
Even if they follow the rich army, they can at least mix with middle-level generals, but in the new army, they are just ordinary members.
Do you want them to take it like ordinary soldiers? No way! Class status has already determined that they are superior to men.
When Zhao Kuangyin stood in front of the stage, the drumming stopped, and Meng Kuan's slightly sharp voice shouted: "Salute ......"
In the military array, the eunuchs in charge of delivering the message shouted in unison: "Salute ......"
All soldiers bow down on one knee. "See Your Majesty."
Zhao Kuangyin's arms were flat. "Flat."
Dozens of scattered chamberlains chanted: "Flat ......"
They are the microphones, megaphones of this era. It is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to shout at the top of his throat, losing his identity.
However, the phalanx at the scene was too large, and it was impossible for everyone to hear his voice, so it was necessary for the attendants to stand at a specific distance and be responsible for spreading Zhao Kuangyin's words.
"The year of Yichou, the first day of the first month of winter. Inherit the orthodox Great Song Dynasty of our China, and form a new army by the will of heaven. ”
Zhao Kuangyin came simply and rudely, without any flowery decorations, and directly began to lecture.
This kind of beginning, if it were in any other period, would make people laugh, but in this period, it is normal.
Because the warlord is in power, in order to win over the arrogant generals, the more simple and rude, the more popular.
"What is the New Army? New drills, new weapons, new formations, and new people. Except for a few officers and men who were transferred back from the rest of the army, most of the officers and men had never been on the battlefield, and all of them were newcomers.
You are the future of my Great Song Dynasty and the backbone of my Great Song Dynasty. Now, with all the kings as the species, the new weapons, new army formations, and new drills will be spread throughout the whole army in the coming day. ”
This sentence points out the role of the new army, which is not to go into battle to kill the enemy, but to be a seed.
This also made the noble children in the audience a little dissatisfied, they wanted to make meritorious contributions, and now they are not allowed to go to the battlefield, what is this?
And those Wenchen children breathed a sigh of relief, because they were afraid to go to war.
However, both sides are full of hope for the future, because since they are seeds, it is clear that they will not be on the battlefield, and they will be able to be generals in the future.
No one regrets their choice.
Zhao Kuangyin said again: "The formation of the new army, in the future, the prince Dezhao should be in command, and all drills and norms should be dominated by the prince." I only hope that today's new army will be the soul of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. The prince of Tokuaki ......"
"To ......" Zhao Dezhao stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Dezhao obeys orders." ”
"I order you to be the commander of the new army, and you should do your best to train the new army for my Great Song Dynasty."
"Dezhao must live up to his holy order and do his best."
"Flag award, tiger talisman."
The flag is a red flag yellow dragon flag, with a red background and embroidered yellow coiled dragon.
This flag had been embroidered by the Weaver Girl a month ago, and it had been embroidered a few days ago.
The dragon flag is the symbol of the royal family, and the young army takes the dragon flag as the military flag, although it is a coiled dragon, but it also represents the emperor's attention to the new army.
There is only half of the Tiger Talisman, and this half of the Tiger Talisman can be trained and managed on a daily basis, but it does not have the right to transfer troops.
Zhao Dezhao thanked him, received the tiger talisman, then hung it on his waist, got up and tied the Panlong Flag to a bamboo pole, and then personally raised the Panlong Flag and waved it in the wind.
"The new army is dominated by the sons and daughters of the nobles, with fine clothes and food, and a great future, and since then, it has ...... The new army took the name of Jinyiwei. ”
"The new army is ...... in the name of Jinyiwei"
The words of the chamberlain spread throughout the venue, and Zhao Dezhao stood in front of the stage with a bamboo pole in his hand, erecting the bamboo pole beside him.
"Jinyi Wei is divided into four battalions, one battalion of Jinyi Battalion, the main military discipline!"
"Jinyi Wei is divided into four battalions, one battalion Jinyi Battalion, and the main military discipline ......"
"The second battalion of the Shenji Battalion, the main training musket!"
“……”
"Three battalions of firearms battalions, the main training of firearms!"
“……”
"The fourth battalion surveying and mapping battalion, the main astronomy and geography!"
“……”
At this time, there was a commotion from the audience, because no one understood why the army should set up a camp to study astronomy and geography.
However, they knew that Zhao Dezhao had something to say, and quickly calmed down.
"Jinyi Wei does not set up a baggage battalion, does not set up a supply battalion, and the other guards of the forbidden army should be responsible."
In this seed army, everyone is literate and has a high status, and setting up baggage battalions and supply battalions is a waste for talents.
Cooking, pulling carts, transporting, all these jobs, everyone else can do...... Good steel is used on the cutting edge.
"In the next three months, except for the annual leave of ten years and one day of leave, the rest of the time will be trained in Nanyuan. Half-day training, half-day study of the new army formation, and evening study of military discipline, no one is allowed to take leave without reason. ”
During the study phase, I studied for nine days and had a day off, but the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so I set aside ten days of vacation.
Next, the distribution of military branches begins.
Zhao Dezhao adopted a voluntary plus deployment plan, first allowing the soldiers to choose their favorite troops, and then deploying.
Otherwise, I'm afraid everyone wants to enter the Shenji Camp.
Just listening to the name, the Shenji Battalion is also more domineering than other battalions.
It was a different function of the barracks, and it was also written in large letters, and it was pasted on a large wooden board for everyone to see.
All of a sudden, chaos began to be made below, and everyone crowded in front of four different signboards to watch the fine print.
Of course, Zhao Kuangyin will not stay here forever, and seeing that Zhao Dezhao spoke in a clear manner, he was not in a hurry or impatient, so he got up and left.
The Jinyi Battalion chose the least number of people, and this disciplined army could not attract anyone.
However, there is Yuan Burang and the three hundred forbidden troops of the East Palace to lay the foundation, and he was only going to recruit a hundred people.
The Shenji Battalion recruited the largest number of people, 2,400 people. The number of applicants here is the largest, this new weapon, the new army of the new army formation, and the Shenji battalion are originally the backbone.
The firearms battalion is equivalent to the artillery army, the grenade, and the mine application army, this battalion will only recruit 300 to 400 people, and they can also learn at the same time as the Shenji battalion.
The surveying and mapping battalion is expected to enroll 500 people, and in addition to the scheduled 400 scholars, other soldiers can also take the elective.
In fact, this kind of distribution is just a kind of management, and in fact, in the process of learning, the learning of these branches of the armed forces is almost the same.
The disturbing registration lasted until it was dark in the afternoon, when it was over.
Then everyone has a day off, goes home tomorrow to carry luggage, and enters Nanyuan the day after tomorrow, and then starts closed training.
