Chapter V: Military Discipline
The car drove south along the same street as the construction site, Wang Quanbin lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, his heart was not distracted, and all his energy was focused on the prince who was not far away.
Three years ago, when he left Beijing, he had met this prince, and at that time, he was just a child.
In just three years, a child has grown up and has become the most important force to be reckoned with in Da Song.
Three years ago, no one cared about this child, except for the emperor, Zhongshu Ling Zhao Guangyi was the most powerful person.
At that time, no one dared to have much contact with this child.
But in just three years, Zhongshu made Zhao Guangyi terminally ill, and only one breath was left.
And this child has become a strong man that most people can't climb.
In the Jinyi Guard and Shenji Battalion, and the Firearms Battalion, all the children of the noble class of the entire Great Song Dynasty were included, and in the past two years, no one of the noble children has been released.
The generals of all armies are now pinched by this prince, and no one dares to put small shoes on this new army in Hanjing.
Even himself, two grandsons and a grandson, were here, and let him rebel, he refused.
The seventeen-year-old prince has grown a short mustache, and his tall figure is intimidating, especially his eyes, as if he can see people's hearts.
The occasional intimidating momentum made people dare not look directly at him.
"Now that the rebel forces in Xichuan have been eliminated, they will be able to provide countless manpower and material resources for the Great Song Dynasty after a few years of recuperation at most."
Zhao Dezhao snorted and asked: "In the second year of Qiande's expedition to Houshu, Meng Chang surrendered in two months." But then the whole division rebelled, and now it is five years of Qiande, and it is only after returning the peace of all parts of Houshu. The old general Rong Ma has been in the middle of his life, and he may be told below, why is this? ”
Wang Quanbin didn't dare to answer directly, and bowed his head to admit his mistake. "It's all the reckless actions of subordinates and others, please punish Your Highness."
But he heard the person in front of him sigh: "The old general is really unwise to talk about him left and right." Today, there are only you and me, not to hold him accountable, but to hear the truth from the old general. ”
Wang Quanbin became more and more afraid to reply, he knew very well that Shen Yilun was on an errand beside this prince.
At the beginning of the expedition to Houshu, almost all the generals sought personal gain, only Shen Yilun did not take anything, and his sleeves were clean.
Regarding the case of Houshu surrendering and then rebelling, in the tutorial of the new army, it has become a negative example, to say that the prince in front of him does not know the details, it is just self-deception.
Several of the main responsible people have been killed, but countless others have profited from it.
None of the dozens of senior generals in Houshu were innocent, and now let him tell the truth, he has offended a lot of people.
Even if he himself is punished, it is better than offending a group of people and leaving a legacy for the family.
Zhao Dezhao looked at the famous general in front of him and sighed in his heart.
This Wang Quanbin is actually much more powerful than Pan Mei and Yang Ye.
If Yang Ye hadn't been for the propaganda of the Yang family's romance, how many battles would he have won?
And he started as a general in the Later Tang Dynasty, and over the past few decades, he has experienced more than a dozen emperors and has hardly ever lost a battle.
It's just that because he is not a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, he later began to defile himself, and his reputation in later generations was not obvious.
Just because he started the expedition, he conquered Rongcheng in sixty-six days and made Meng Chang surrender, which is a feat that most people can't accomplish.
It's a pity that he has no sharpness now, and the two of them are in contact for the first time, and it's not good to talk deeply.
"The past does not forget the teacher of the future, and the old general should take it as a warning. I just want to ask the old general one thing now......"
Wang Quanbin hurriedly said, "Please show your Highness." ”
"This loyal army drawn from Xichuan, Long Jiejun, can the old general still order and prohibit it?"
This question happened to ask Wang Quanbin what he was most worried about, and in an instant, he was covered in a cold sweat.
He could only bow his head and clench his fists and say, "My subordinates must do their best to maintain it!" ”
Zhao Dezhao sighed and said, "The army has just arrived, and it will be repaired for three days. After three days, let them have a competition with the Shenji Battalion. ”
"Whoa!"
Zhao Dezhao knew that he couldn't be anxious, this veteran had waited for the emperors of five dynasties, and it was not easy to make him return.
Before going on the expedition, he should strike at the sharpness of his two armies, and it will take at least a year or two to go on the expedition, and some will have time to subdue him.
The new left-behind mansion is located on the north side of the moat road of the West City Gate, and the south side of the road is the Hanjing Mansion government.
Compared with the original Jiedu Embassy, the area here is much smaller, but Zhao Dezhao doesn't care, after all, it is a transitional period.
He entertained the middle and high-ranking generals led by Wang Quanbin here, while the other 25,000 soldiers were placed in four military camps around Hanjing Mansion.
As soon as the Zhongwu Army and the Long Jie Army entered the barracks, they were shocked by the training of this new military camp.
In such a hot weather, everyone still has to train, and the intensity of this training is ......
When Jinyiwei first became an army, Zhao Dezhao trained these buddies as animals.
Now a small number of them have been transferred to other armies as instructors, and most of them have stayed in the three armies of Jinyiwei, Shenji Battalion, and Firearms Battalion, and the youngest official is also a capital head.
The new army has been transferred from 3,000 people to 1,000 people, and now it has become 18,000, and about 1,000 brothers are now direct leaders.
How much they had been tortured by Zhao Dezhao before, and now they had to return all these tortures.
Whether it was the literate soldiers transferred from other forbidden armies, or the 6,000 innocent children recruited locally in Hanjing, they all felt the malice from hell.
The Zhongwu Army and the Long Jie Army were brought into the barracks in the afternoon, and in order to give these outsiders a dismount, all the soldiers of the barracks had already stood under the scorching sun for an hour.
No one complained of being tired and wanted to rest, and the only way was to pass out.
Looking at these dark-skinned recruits lined up in a neat military formation, sweating one by one, but they insisted on not moving, and they didn't even make a sound.
This silent shock directly made them feel palpitations.
Originally, they thought it was a good thing, but they could hardly do it after standing like this for an hour.
And these recruits of the Shenji Battalion can stand for two hours.
When it was time for dinner, the cafeteria in the barracks brought out large vats of rice and pots of stew.
To everyone's surprise, there was still meat in the dish.
Each person has one dish, and there are at least two pieces of meat in the dish, and the rice is full.
The soldier of the Longjie army asked, "Do you eat like this every day, or do you have meat to welcome us today?" ”
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion said proudly: "Of course, there is meat all at once. ”
You can eat meat at once, and the landlord doesn't have this treatment!
If it weren't for the barracks of the Shenji Battalion, those soldiers of the Loyal Army and the Long Jie Army would have wanted to rebel.
They are all forbidden troops, and the difference in treatment is too big!
After the meal, more than 1,000 soldiers went to the water room to wash, which became a scene in the barracks.
Each person also had a bar of soap in the bath, and when they took a bath, they also washed all the clothes on their bodies.
Soon, a jungle of clothes was erected on the other side of the water house.
If it weren't for the people of the brocade guards watching, the soldiers of the loyal army would have wanted to steal a few and put them on their bodies.
The military uniforms of the Shenji Battalion are much better looking than theirs.
To everyone's surprise, the soldiers who had taken a bath did not disband one by one, they gathered in twos and threes to chat, but none of them dared to leave the barracks.
The newcomers to the Chung Wu Army are still jealous of the good life here, and are ready to rebel in tandem and demand better treatment.
Suddenly, a whistle was heard, and in their astonished sight, all the soldiers of the barracks quickly gathered towards the playground.
After a whistle, the snare drum sounded, and the soldiers, who were still washing clothes or chatting, quickly dressed up.
Before the snare drums stopped, a neat line stood on the playground.
There was no one to command, but they didn't panic at all, and everyone could find their place.
"Report, the first three training camp, should be 1,500 people, two people are on sick leave, the actual number is 1,498 people, please instruct!"
"All of them have ......" 1,500 people all stood up and straightened up.
"The target is the southwest outer city of Dianjiangtai, twenty miles back and forth."
"Whoa!"
"In the order of the queue, go out of the camp in turn......"
The six thousand soldiers who were arranged to live here looked at everyone lined up in a neat phalanx, three people in a row, and soon formed a long dragon and came out.
A group of generals who were still discussing the tandem couldn't help but ask Yan Kuan, the head of the brocade guards who were responsible for placing them. "Yan Dutou, this divine machine battalion has to train day and night every day?"
Yan Kuan showed a trace of casual contempt, but said with a smile: "This is just routine training, running ten miles in the morning and twenty miles in the evening, in addition to queue training, there are also weight-bearing cross-country running, shooting, literacy, and mapping training. If you are interested, I can give you a copy of their training. ”
At this, his tone suddenly became intense. "Why does the Shenji Camp have meat to eat? It is because they have to sweat at least five catties a day, and they have no meat to eat, and their bodies have already collapsed.
There is still a month before the opening, and this month, if you want to eat meat like the Shenji Battalion, you must also undergo the same training as them, otherwise, you will give me bran pickles! ”
"We're here with our lives, without us, can you just knock down the Southern Han?"
"If you want us to work hard and don't give us enough food, how can there be such a thing?"
Yan Kuan's gaze swept over, and he asked sharply, "Are you talking to me?" Do you know what Jinyiwei does? The original Shenji Battalion and the Firearms Battalion were all subordinate to Jinyiwei, but now they have just been separated.
The Jinyi Guard who stayed behind was the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Prince, responsible for maintaining military regulations, military discipline, enforcing military law, inspecting hundreds of officials, and supervising all the people.
I'll forgive you this time, next time I remember, I must all the generals above the head apply with me, and if the soldiers talk to me again, they can be directly arrested, or even killed! ”
A thirty-year-old ** patted his chest and shouted: "What kind of big-tailed wolf, when Lao Tzu was killing people like hemp in Xichuan, you were still breastfeeding!" ”
Yan Kuan pulled out a small flag from his waist and stared at him. "Don't abide by military discipline, a warning! If the gossip is won by the public, it will be severely punished! ”
He glanced at the commander not far away, and saw that he nodded slightly. Hehe smiled: "Uncle, I'm here, I want to see how you punish you severely!" ”
The small flag in Yan Kuan's hand was pointed at him instantly, and at the same time, one of the brocade-clothed guards on the roof guard not far from them raised his gun and aimed at him.
There was a loud bang, his face was deformed, he could no longer make a sound, and he fell.
