Chapter 60: Lead by example
Time rewinds to a month ago, and after Cao Can's and his group of noble sons saw the new infantry drill code, they were keenly aware of the importance of this book.
I studied for most of the night that night, and I refused to leave the next day.
Although Zhao Kuangyin drove them away, and although Zhao Dezhao was going to prepare for the wedding, they were still lying in the East Palace.
The infantry drill code is not allowed to be passed on, so I'll see if it's okay in the East Palace, right?
As a noble son, he may be proud, he may be arrogant, and he may have all kinds of shortcomings, but he will never be stupid.
Because of their close relationship with Zhao Dezhao, they can learn this new style of military training first, which is their advantage.
is like Shi Baoxing and Pan Weide, although they are overage, they all borrowed their father's face and asked Zhao Kuangyin to join the new army.
Zhao Kuangyin controlled the age of the soldiers, just so that Zhao Dezhao could control it, not to exclude the excellent soldiers.
What's more, they were already close to Zhao Dezhao, so their application was easily approved.
And these people have become the backbone and leaders of this group of new troops.
The forbidden army of the Song Dynasty is generally a team of ten people, ten teams are the capital, five are battalions, five battalions are armies, and ten armies are compartments.
The new army has more than 3,100 people, which is equivalent to an army according to regulations, and the leader is the commander of the capital.
The commander of the capital is Zhao Dezhao, and the deputy commander is Yuan Burang, who also leads the Jinyi battalion.
He led the 300 forbidden army, was responsible for military discipline and military law, and was also Zhao Dezhao's thug, who was not convinced, and beat whoever was not convinced.
Cao Can, who Zhao Dezhao valued the most, was too young to get the position of Marquis Yu, the general of the Shenji Battalion, and this position was obtained by the eldest Pan Weide.
Pan Weide was able to obtain this position, not only because of his age, but also because of the eight brothers of the Pan family who have entered the new army. Pan Weide has four younger brothers and three cousins, and they joined the New Army together, which is also a big force.
And the largest number of people belongs to the Murong family, this big family from Shannan Dongdao, there are more than thirty people in the younger generation, this time, in addition to a few scholars, a few too old and too young, twenty-two came at once.
Murong Yanzhao is dead, and he is still Zhao Kuangyin's sworn brother, so Zhao Kuangyin is also very preferential to the Murong family.
The only thing he intervened in the affairs of the new army was to ask for an official of the Marquis of Yu for the second son of the Murong family, Murong Defeng, who had the same character as Zhao Dezhao.
Zhao Dezhao was about to pull the new army to Xiangyang, and of course he had to have a good relationship with the Murong family, so he did not refuse this appointment.
He put Murong Defeng in charge of the firearms battalion, and this position did not treat them badly.
The last surveying and mapping battalion awarded the Marquis of Yu to Wang Chengyan.
Wang Chengyan is not very good in all aspects except for being handsome, but the biggest advantage of this person is that he is good at communication and has good eloquence.
A favorite host of Zhao Kuangyin, of course, his eloquence is impeccable, and it is more suitable for him to deal with a group of scholars than anyone else.
These friends, who had been in contact with the infantry drill for a month, were all appointed by Zhao Dezhao as the head of the capital, and there were a total of twenty-one of them, plus ten people selected from the forbidden army, to form the coach phalanx.
On the third day of November, Jinyiwei began a three-month special training, and as soon as the training began, everyone complained bitterly.
According to the training of the new army in later generations, from the beginning, it was to stand in a military posture and line up in a military formation. This seemingly simple training is very hard when everyone wears thirty kilograms of medium armor.
Because most of them are noble children, scholars, there is no one who is left and right, and the family conditions are good, and there is no one in the body.
But wearing thirty kilograms of armor and standing motionless for an hour, even Zhao Dezhao felt hard.
Dozens of people fell on the first day, and the soldiers of the Jinyi battalion had already prepared and rescued them one by one.
Zhao Dezhao stood at the forefront, motionless, leading by example. Because of his existence, no one dared to retreat.
When the military posture of the army was half the day, and the tactics and ideas of the new army were imparted, no one could help Zhao Dezhao.
Therefore, every day, it was Zhao Dezhao who first taught the lessons of the day to these heads, Jiang Yuhou, and then they taught them separately.
Everyone's receptivity is different, and their eloquence is high and low, which also causes some soldiers to learn very well, while others learn in a mess.
However, Zhao Dezhao did not interfere too much, but let their lower-level officers adjust themselves.
In this process, Wang Chengyan and Cao Can have been recognized by more and more soldiers.
As for the ideological education at night, Zhao Dezhao did not participate, but handed over this task to Yuan Burang.
Yuan Burang is very competent to serve as the head of the instructor, but he is stupid, so he pulled Wang Chengyan, and he can be regarded as sitting firmly in the position of instructor on the spot.
What is Zhao Dezhao doing? Home, of course......
As a prince, his first task is not to go into battle to kill the enemy, nor to gain fame, but to pass on the lineage.
But he is not very old, and Zhao Dezhao can't bear to let the two girls be mothers now.
No matter how you think about it, you can't escape it.
When the time entered December, after a month of training, everyone, whether it was a military posture or a queue, had a little bit of meaning.
Everyone is also accustomed to this kind of intensity, and even those scholars no longer feel hard.
At this time, Zhao Dezhao took out the big killing weapon of the future generations and walked away.
The armor was removed, and everyone was dressed in a uniform cotton coat and began to train in fastidious walking.
This kind of training is completely unnecessary for people in this era, but under Zhao Dezhao's high pressure, everyone can only accept their fate.
After a few days of training, many people can't even walk.
This awkwardness lasted for half a month, and then it got a little better.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin, who got the news, heard that the new army was training and walking, and couldn't help but run over to take a look.
At this glance, I was shocked by this majestic posture.
More than 3,000 people, ten people in a row, lined up in a neat phalanx, each person's movements are the same, almost the same, and even the expression is the same.
So many people are walking in the same posture, and the shock to Zhao Kuangyin is more shocking than ordinary people watching the military parade in later generations.
Because future generations know what the military parade is all about, but now no one knows.
In today's Song Dynasty, even the honor guard, when parading, is the same as ordinary walking.
After reading it, Zhao Kuangyin immediately issued an order to the entire forbidden army, asking all the generals not far from Kaifeng Mansion to come back with their subordinates to take a look and follow along.
In the past few days when the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are more soldiers of the forbidden army who come to observe in Nanyuan than there are soldiers who have been trained.
When everyone saw these soldiers, it was like seeing fragrant buns.
Zhao Dezhao was also annoyed and couldn't stand it, and agreed that after the year, the forbidden army could send generals to follow the queue and military posture, but the new art of war and combat plan to be taught would not be passed on.
Zhao Dezhao was busy training his descendants, and Pei Ge'an was not idle.
Through Xu Yongchang, the instructions were transmitted to Tong Liang, and then to Zhao Kuangyin, or Liu Xiao, who had already gone to Xiangyang first.
Five hundred carpenters, the blacksmiths in the farm, were ordered to move to Xiangyang a year ago.
On the Xiangyang side, Thorn Shi Cai Lingxuan conscripted thousands of local peasant households to serve as laborers, and built a thousand houses of uniform format on the south bank of the upper reaches of Xiangyang City, all of which were to be lived by blacksmiths and carpenters.
The choice of upstream is also a last resort, because the upstream riverbank is dominated by mountains and rocks, and it is easy to build wharves and trestle bridges.
Downstream, the Han River turns south, and most of the riverbank is dirt, which will make infrastructure construction more troublesome.
As for the pollution upstream, this era of primary industry, which can be tolerated for the time being, will be withdrawn in a few years when it has a foundation.
The overall layout of the industry, Pei Gean has been planned and established in six countries in modern times.
She is more proficient than Zhao Dezhao in how to establish a perfect circulation system.
After Liu Xiao arrived in Xiangyang, while staring at the repair of the Jiedu Embassy, another main task was to send people to circle a few mountains on the edge of Da Xian Mountain in the southeast of Xiangyang and start smashing stones.
In later generations, it used to be a large-scale cement factory, and most of the cement developed in Xiangyang after the founding of the People's Republic of China came from here.
It was not until the new century that it was abandoned because of environmental protection.
Not long after Liu Xiao arrived in Xiangyang, more than ten ships of saltpeter arrived in Xiangyang under the escort of soldiers.
They were accompanied by 13,000 books looted from Xichuan, some of which were even bamboo slips, with a history of more than a thousand years.
From Jiangyou to Xiangyang, it seems to be a long distance. But the source of the Han River is at the junction of Shaanxi and Sichuan, not far from Jiangyou.
It only takes a few hundred miles of saltpeter to be loaded onto a small boat and travel down the river to Xiangyang.
In other words, from Xichuan to Yangyang, the river can be used to transport goods, which can save more than half of the manpower.
In feudal times, rivers were the most convenient mode of transportation, and there was no one.
No matter how big Xiangyang's movements are, the movement here in the imperial court is also very small.
On the contrary, it was Zhao Dezhao who trained troops in Kaifeng Mansion, which caused an even greater sensation.
This New Year, many generals, as long as there is no war, will return to Kaifeng Mansion.
The new army has become the target of everyone's attention.
However, until now, no one knows what kind of army the new army is going to train in this way, with more classes than training.
No one even knows what weapons the Forces nouvelles will use.
Tanzhou won a big victory, Xichuan won a big victory, and this year's Song Dynasty had a happy New Year.
There is only the Zhongshu Lingfu, and everyone is worried and fearful.
Because of Zhao Guangyi, the second day of the Lunar New Year, he almost died because of cardiac arrest.
The four imperial doctors had been by his side, and the methods were exhausted, and he finally recovered.
But this time, although he woke up, he couldn't even get out of bed.
The most serious thing is that he can't pee now, and he may lose his breath at any time.
This is also the only discord in the New Year of the Great Song Dynasty.
(The New Army training was written too much, too detailed, and then the plot progressed very slowly.) There are two chapters deleted, speed up the progress, and I will go to Xiangyang soon. )
