Chapter VI: Mutiny
The new army was originally established under the name of Jinyiwei, and the Jinyi battalion was in charge of military discipline.
Two years have passed, and Jinyiwei has been divided into Jinyiwei, Shenji Battalion, Firearms Battalion, and Military Academy.
Among them, half of the firearms battalion has been stationed in various armies to help them develop firearms and artillery, which has the greatest impact on the current Great Song Dynasty.
But the proudest of all are the Shenji Battalion, which is the largest, now 12,000 men, all armed with muskets.
Apart from them, only the palace guards were equipped with 3,000 muskets in the whole world, and they considered themselves to be a unique and powerful army, and looked down on any army.
However, among them, the best is still Jinyiwei.
Jinyiwei originally had only 300 people, but it was expanded by 3,000 people, but the expanded candidates were all candidates from the previous Shenji Battalion.
Today's Shenji Battalion has 12,000 people, and there are less than 200 of the original first batch of brothers left, who have served as the head of the capital, the commander, the general Yuhou, the staff officer, and the highest position is Pan Weide and others who served as the deputy commander of the capital.
However, he can serve as the head of the capital in the Shenji Battalion, and when he arrives at Jinyiwei, he can only serve as a small soldier, and others still want to enter Jinyiwei.
Because of the small soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, the power is greater than that of any general below the command of the Shenji Battalion.
In addition to arranging 300 guards to guard Zhao Dezhao every day, who is responsible for the travel honor guard, the other 2,700 people are divided into two groups.
Half of the daily training and study, and the remaining half supervises the daily training of the Shenji Battalion and the Firearms Battalion, military discipline and military regulations.
Each of them has an iron knife rewarded by Zhao Dezhao, whether it is a soldier, an official, or even a common person, they can directly intervene in the injustice.
Today's Jinyiwei has its own small yamen, which is a series of its own, and when others make mistakes, Jinyiwei can directly intervene, but if Jinyiwei's people make mistakes, they can only try it themselves.
Such a lofty structure also makes every position of Jinyiwei a fragrant bun.
Although Yan Kuan is only a capital leader, when he is in charge of military discipline, they can manage the affairs of the training camp.
However, the commanders of the Shenji Battalion couldn't even mobilize a single Jinyi guard.
Before the arrival of the Zhongwu Army and the Long Jie Army, Jinyiwei had already held many small meetings in accordance with Zhao Dezhao's instructions.
Zhao Dezhao knows very well what the army of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is, and it cannot be said that they do not have a good thing, but the vast majority of soldiers are private soldiers.
They are not to defend their families and the country, but to be swords in the hands of the powerful, and they are soldiers just to get promoted and get rich. Be the one who bullies the people, not the ones who are bullied.
The establishment of Jinyiwei is to restrain them, every soldier here is a noble child, a brother, and it is also to make their existence appear reasonable and not subject to resistance.
To restrain these soldiers who are accustomed to killing people in Xichuan, it is impossible to see blood.
In their hands the blood of the people is far greater than the blood of their opponents.
Once you get used to killing people, if you want them to obey military discipline, you have to take drastic medicine.
A gunshot rang out, and the strong man who questioned Yan Kuan was knocked down by a single shot, and the loyal military troops below were stunned for a long time, and when they saw his bloody face, they all got out of the way, and then immediately made an uproar.
Now in this barracks, there are only two hundred brocade guards, and the soldiers of the fifteen hundred Shenji battalions have left the camp.
There were 6,000 loyal soldiers arranged here, and when they heard the movement, they ran out one after another, and then when they saw their comrades who had been killed, they immediately set up camp.
This is the panacea that they have tried and tested in the past, as long as everyone is in an uproar, the generals above can only give in, can only appease, and can give them more benefits in exchange.
Anyway, the law does not blame the people, and it is up to them to fight.
Seeing that the formation was getting bigger and bigger, the brocade guards on the roof immediately connected back and forth, and the brocade guards on the ground immediately blew their whistles and began to assemble.
Several gates of the barracks were immediately closed, and even the cooks on the other side of the canteen quickly began to rush people and close the canteen gates.
In the face of more and more soldiers, Yan Kuan stood at the front of the crowd without any fear.
He begged for food with his father Yan Jian at the age of seven, and later joined the army, and in the Later Zhou period, he was only eleven years old when he killed people with his father for the first time.
He sees this cannibalistic world more clearly than most of his brothers.
His father is now a training envoy of the Langzhou (Changde) regiment, training the new army in Langzhou, and the father and son often exchange letters, and have a deep understanding of the current situation of chaotic military discipline in today's army.
He knew very well the mind of His Highness, and the training of the new army emphasized discipline from the very beginning, stressing self-discipline, paying attention to serving the people, and paying attention to serving the country.
They were all literate soldiers, they were all young, and they all had families behind them, and they were the new soldiers who knew how to be benevolent and accepted new knowledge more quickly.
Your Highness wants to build a new army, and they are the seeds.
If it weren't for the lack of confidence in other armies, why would it be that nearly 10,000 muskets had been produced now, and that they had not been distributed to other armies at all?
These muskets were the beginning of their world-changing journey, and could not be used as weapons for disobedient soldiers.
"Why kill people?"
"What did Tan Da do wrong?"
"If we don't punish the murderer today, we will go to the prince!"
Looking at the distorted faces, Yan Kuan climbed onto the cement platform at the water pipe and shouted: "As a soldier, you should put military discipline first, if you don't want to rebel, go to my right hand, and if you want a mutineer, continue to stay in front of me."
A hurried whistle sounded, and Shi Baoxing, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards in charge of the military camp, ran over with a team of Jinyi Guards. "Everybody squat, no noise, everybody squat, no noise."
There was still a commotion on one side, and on the other side, there was a sharp whistle, and then a more serious drum beat.
Yan Kuan, who was standing on the cement platform, could see clearly that some soldiers were starting to take weapons, and they were distributing knives, guns, crossbows and bows, and it seemed that they wanted to make a big fuss.
Shi Baoxing also saw it, and he didn't shout anymore, but pulled out the flag on his waist.
His banner was slightly larger than the stone width, and the red flag and a jet-black shield were particularly visible.
When he raised the flag in his hand, all the brocade guards immediately raised their guns.
This scene made those noisy soldiers couldn't help but take a few steps back. As soon as a gunshot rang out, Tan Da was killed, and this weapon left a deep impression on them.
The banner in Shi Baoxing's hand circled half a circle on the left and half a circle on the right, and the brocade guards on the roof immediately ran to the stall where the weapons were distributed.
"Lay down your arms, or you will be punished for rebellion!"
"Lay down your arms, or you will be punished for rebellion!"
Most of them are afraid, they have just arrived in Hanjing from Xichuan, and they don't know much about this place, so they are afraid.
But there are also many people who are not afraid at all. "There are only more than 200 of them, and we are 6,000 people, beating the fuck!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the tip of the flag in Shi Baoxing's hand pointing downward, and a burst of gunfire immediately rang out.
Those soldiers armed with broadswords and spears, especially crossbows, immediately received the first blow.
Gunshots rang out, and so did their screams, although the distance was not far, but there were a few dozen loose bullets, and many innocent soldiers were injured by mistake.
There were about thirty Jinyi guards on the roof, and only ten of them fired, and immediately after firing, they gave way to the firing position and began to reload ammunition.
Ten more men found the soldiers, who were still charging with their weapons, and there was another burst of gunfire, and they fell to the ground.
And the third batch of Jinyi guards did not shoot directly this time, but only pointed their guns at everyone.
The people below were a little frightened, and many of them were squatting on the ground in fright, but it was a mess, and it was difficult to distinguish them.
"Put down your arms and crouch on the ground, or you will be punished for rebellion!"
In front of Yan Kuan, a young general drew the knife in his hand and slashed at him. "Lao Tzu cut you first!"
As soon as he raised his knife, another gunshot rang out, and his face was smashed.
But they were too close, and as soon as the others rushed, they rushed in front of them.
This time, the flag in Yan Kuan's hand drooped. "Rush into the brocade guard, there is no mercy!"
Twenty muskets rang out, and those who rushed to the front fell in large numbers, and those behind stepped directly on them, and they became a mess again.
Then, there was another burst of gunfire, and twenty or thirty more people fell, and by this time everyone knew the power of the musket like a burning stick.
The two hundred brocade guards were also very nervous, and Yan led twelve people to confront them head-on, and the others, under the command of Shi Baoxing, were specifically looking for the guns of those who were in the lead.
After a few rounds, most of the people squatted on the ground, not daring to rush again.
After all, they are not enemy troops, because such a fighting spirit lost a small life, it is not worth it!
On the flat ground in the middle of the barracks, there were a group of people squatting in the black, and there were also injured people screaming.
Those who originally had the intention to camp were also chilled, what kind of weapon is this? Why is it so powerful? How can this be prevented?
hurts people in the air, and one hit is accurate, who will dare to lead the trouble in the future?
Shi Baoxing shouted: "The camp doctor came out to treat the wounded, and everyone was not allowed to get up." Yan Dutou, sent a message to the Shenji Battalion, canceled the running exercise, and came back to see the Zhongwu Army. I am going to the Stay-behind Mansion now, and no one is allowed to act until I am ordered by His Highness! ”
Staying in the mansion, Zhao Dezhao was still entertaining the middle and high-level generals of the Zhongwu Army and the Long Jie Army.
The originally lively atmosphere was met with mutinies in all four resettlement sites, and then Jinyiwei killed and wounded hundreds of people, and he also lost one soldier, and after five wounds, it became silent.
This is not a disturbance, but there are people making trouble everywhere, and the generals of the two armies are frightened, pleading guilty one after another, waiting to meet Zhao Dezhao's anger.
But Zhao Dezhao smiled indifferently. "It seems that it is difficult to have fun today, and I hope that the generals will return to the camp to appease the soldiers and soldiers, and emphasize military regulations and discipline with the soldiers. Today's turmoil is not to blame for the past, and the injured soldiers must also be carefully treated. But ......"
Zhao Dezhao changed his words and said loudly: "Regardless of whether it was the Loyal Army or the Long Jie Army in the past, since you have come to my command to listen to the order, you must learn my decrees.
This month, all the soldiers are not allowed to practice, but they must memorize my military discipline and military rules, and when they go out after the month, they must be ordered and prohibited. It is also necessary to let all the soldiers know that our imperial army is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and we must not offend the people in the slightest! ”
