Chapter 51: Infantry Drill Code

Cao Can is a young man, and although he is not very old in the second generation of Xungui, he has always belonged to one of the central points.

Although there is still some childishness on his face now, Zhao Dezhao knows his ability very well.

The battle of the Liao and Song dynasties, as well as the battle between the Song and the Northwest, have always been more victorious and more losing, but Cao Can has been fighting in the most difficult battlefield, but he has won more and lost less.

Judging from the record, he is not as good as his fourth brother Cao Wei, who has not yet been born. His father Cao Bin once said when he was dying: It is better to be bright than Wei.

Cao Wei, who is known as Cao Wumu, is undefeated in his life and has a great reputation, but generals can't just look at the ability to attack and plunder the city.

Cao Can's life as a general was mainly in defense, in the border defense for more than ten years, never retreated, and then in the forbidden army for decades, the forbidden army was well organized, never misunderstood.

In this regard, Cao Can's talent may be insufficient, but his ability is sufficient.

A general who can leave a great name in history is already an amazing talent for a period of time.

What's more, Zhao Dezhao can only use him now.

Although Cao Wei is better, this little guy still has eight years to be born!

Looking at the still childish face in front of him, Zhao Dezhao sighed and said: "Our generation, since birth, has enjoyed the shade brought by our fathers and ancestors. Our fathers are fighting in all directions, but we can only be the second ancestor in Kaifeng Mansion.

Even if he is in the army, he can't leave the aura of his father and ancestor, no matter where he goes, he will say that this is Cao Bin's son and Pan Mei's son. If you make a splash of credit, others will think that it is the credit of your fathers and ancestors, and we just happened to be convenient. ”

Cao Can was suddenly moved, became serious, and wiped his fingers, which were still stained with a trace of oil, on his trouser legs. "yes, that's it. I was in the army, even if I started as a small soldier, I was also concerned, for fear that I would bump into it and not be able to deal with my father.

Since he is a soldier, how can he not be injured at all, how can he be a young master? I am familiar with military books, others can't see it, I practice hard riding and archery, others can't see it, so I can only say, I'm Cao ...... son. What's the second brother's plan? ”

Pei Ge'an, who was watching from the sidelines, smiled secretly, knowing that his husband had begun to fool people again. He now grasped the mentality of the second ancestors who wanted to break through the restrictions of their fathers and ancestors, and tricked these second ancestors who were similar to him to go to another stall together.

This kind of thing is not difficult to operate, mainly because it needs a person who can hold down the position, and her husband's status as a prince happens to be useful.

Of course, this is also because my husband has the identity of a prince, so he will have this idea.

Gather these second ancestors together and build a new army, and this new army will definitely not be subject to any constraints.

Whoever wants to get stuck in this new army is to be an enemy of more than half of the generals of the Great Song Dynasty and an enemy of the emperor.

There are no restrictions, and this new army is left to her husband.

In this era, as long as you have a strong army in your hands, you are not afraid of any threat.

Zhao Dezhao doesn't need to empathize, he can know the mentality of the second ancestors of Kaifeng Mansion now, they fight and hunt together every day, but they have nowhere to vent their energy.

In this era, there are no novels, no computers, no mobile phones, and there is nowhere to vent the energy of young people.

However, because their fathers were in power, they had to stay in Kaifeng Mansion, although they were not hostages, but they would not be allowed to leave the capital unless it was an emergency.

Now, Zhao Dezhao gave them a chance to leave Kaifeng Mansion, but not everyone would go with him to become a soldier.

At times like these, you have to use a little bit of means.

Just like going to the Qin State Mansion that day, after a group of young people drank some wine, they felt that their father scolded their mother, and everyone would not be willing to be left behind.

And when they go to Xiangyang next year, such a simple means will not be feasible, and they must be inspired to have real ideals and ambitions in their hearts.

People in this era are very simple, and this simplicity does not refer to the state of mind, but to the choice of life.

There is very little information from the outside world, and everyone has a kind of restriction on living in a muddled way.

It is not uncommon for a farmer to live in a small village all his life, and not to be more than fifty miles away from home.

In a village, there are a few people who have traveled far and served as soldiers, and they are well-informed people.

But these people did not receive as much information as a child in the future.

They don't know how big the outside world is, and they don't know that there are many choices in life, so they have only one way to go.

Even a noble child like Cao Can can choose very few life paths.

This is the limit of society......

But if Zhao Dezhao wants to win them over, he must let them see hope, see the light, and make them feel that this road is more exciting.

Of course, Zhao Dezhao can use an executive order, such as asking Zhao Kuangyin to directly issue an order, and let them all go to Xiangyang with him.

But if one is voluntary, the other is forced, and the initiative is different.

Zhao Dezhao wanted to do both of them and tie them firmly to his chariot.

"Eldest sister, bring the "Infantry Drill Codex" to Taoguang to see......"

Pei Ge'an smiled and replied, and took a thin booklet from the shelf.

She handed it to Cao Can, who looked at Zhao Dezhao with some surprise. "Is she literate?"

Pei Gean snorted and threw the booklet into his arms. "Boy, don't look down on people."

It's just a nine-year-old girl saying something like this, there is no deterrent at all, it only makes people feel cute.

Cao Can was not angry, picked up the booklet and read it.

As soon as the booklet was opened, the original relaxation on his face gradually became serious, he looked up at Zhao Dezhao, and saw that he and Sister Pei were talking in a low voice, so he stopped talking again.

Then, he quickly fell into a state of self-forgetfulness......

This infantry drill book is not far from the soldier manual of later generations, after the Ming Dynasty, deleted a lot of high-tech knowledge and political work knowledge of later generations, and increased the training knowledge of cold weapons.

The book is divided into four parts, namely national defense knowledge, daily training knowledge, military life knowledge, welfare benefits and employment after injury.

Except for the last one, which is now a little vague, but only points out some concepts, the first three are very detailed.

For example, in the knowledge of national defense, the expansion and integration of China from the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are elaborated, and the causes of war in each era are analyzed, as well as the main problems faced by the Song Dynasty today.

And the daily training is just inside, detailing the details of military salutes, military formations, formations, physical training, and training for different positions.

The knowledge of military life is the longest, with tens of thousands of words.

In the form of questions and answers, the problems that need to be paid attention to in different terrains and different environments are introduced in detail.

For example, how to camp in the desert, what to pay attention to when crossing the river, how to treat injuries simply, how to repair clothes and armor, how to march in summer and winter, how to protect yourself, etc......

It can be said that if you train according to this booklet, you can build an iron army of this era.

Moreover, this is not perfect, Zhao Dezhao did not have so much time, he just wrote an outline.

In the future, when training, I will also plump up the flesh and blood according to this outline skeleton.

The right to speak, of course, is in the hands of Zhao Dezhao.

"Second brother, dinner is ready, it's time to go over and eat."

Hearing Tong Liang's voice, Cao Can immediately raised his head and said, "I'm not hungry, second brother, please allow me to stay here and continue to watch." ”

Zhao Dezhao hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Take it to the front to see, as long as you don't take it away, you people can look at it casually." ”

You, of course, refer to these noble children, which is also the skeleton of the new army prepared by Zhao Dezhao.

Asking them to read this book will also make them more convinced of themselves.

Since some of the content in it is sensitive, it is not appropriate to disseminate it for the time being.

Hearing Zhao Dezhao say this, Cao Can also knew that it was not appropriate for his identity to stay in the middle courtyard, so he took the drill in his hand and came to the front yard with Zhao Dezhao.

In the front yard, a group of young people were making a fuss. You kick me, I'll punch you, you scold my mother, I can't tell your grandmother, anyway, there is no shape.

In the two cauldrons in the big kitchen, one pot of stewed bear meat, the other pot of stewed pheasant, as for the drawing meat, all of them were given to the forbidden army and the noble pro-soldiers.

Bear meat is thicker and fatter than beef, and if you don't know how to cook it, the meat is very sour and not delicious.

Only the meat on the legs is the most delicious and strong, especially the bear's paws.

However, the bear's paws could not be eaten, because as soon as the bears were brought back, four bear's paws were sent to the palace.

How can you forget the emperor with good things? Even if it's an emperor, bear's paws aren't something that can be eaten in the sky!

After entering the room, before Zhao Dezhao could speak, Cao Can shouted differently from usual: "Shut up!" ”

Everyone was startled, and the original laughter stopped all of a sudden. Cao Can said excitedly: "The second brother wrote a strange book today, which is a must-read for generals. When I saw it, I was shocked.

We people frolicked all day long, although the fists and feet were not wasted, and this art of war was not practiced. Don't drink today, wait until you are full of food and drink, and let the second brother and I teach it well. ”

Pan Weide had the closest relationship with Cao Can, and walked over and asked curiously: "What art of war haven't you read, and you can call it a strange book?" ”

Everyone knows that Cao Can is steady and doesn't talk much, but he never tells lies. If Shi Baoxing said this, he would definitely not believe it, but Cao Can's statement aroused their interest.

Zhao Dezhao said at this time: "This book is not the art of war, but only an infantry drill manual, so that generals know how to train troops, how to march and arrange, and reduce non-combat casualties." If you brothers are interested, I will talk to your brothers tonight, wine, don't say you don't drink it, three bowls per person, just don't drink more. ”

The people laughed and recognised, and the book was spread throughout the meal.

Shi Baoji and Han Chongxun, a few young people, did not have this qualification, and they jumped around like anxious monkeys.

After receiving Zhao Dezhao's instructions, Tong Liang immediately arranged a side hall to prepare for teaching, and after dinner, asked the pro-soldiers to return to their homes to inform them that they would not go back tonight.
