Chapter 040: Digging the Foot of the Wall

"Left, left, left and right, left and right, left, left, ......left, left, left

The so-called queue is the ranks and ranks of the army in the battle array, and its basic requirements are the requirements of 'standing upright', 'keeping up with the right', and 'looking forward' in the modern queue in the "Sima Fa - Strict Position" are the embodiment of this time. All military training, whether ancient or modern, always begins with platoon training, and the commands of 'one-two-one' and 'left-right-left' are the common voices on the training ground of any era, and this is no different from ancient times to the present.

In ancient times, cold weapon warfare relied more heavily on formations, and soldiers had to make sure that they heard the drum and attacked, and the soldiers retreated, whether it was a direct attack or a roundabout, it was decided by the lower-level officers who looked at the military flag, and at the same time occupied different positions according to the different types of troops, and the members of a group themselves were a small combat collective. This must strictly abide by discipline, stand in their own position, and accurately schedule, so it can be said that the whole body is affected by a move, so the queue training is more strict than in modern times, and to do it, we must first strictly govern the army, and now the specific reward and punishment regulations Zhao Yu has instructed the Senate to begin to formulate.

"Smack!"

"Stand up straight!"

"Oh!" Zhao Hao straightened up reflexively, but soon realized that this was the head of the army who was teaching the soldiers and not himself, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and just expressed his condolences to him with sympathetic eyes.

As a modern person, Zhao Yu knows that punishing soldiers with corporal punishment is strictly forbidden in the modern army, and it is also inhumane, but since he followed Yuan Miao to practice martial arts, he changed his mind, and his personal experience made him know that this is the most effective way to quickly improve his ability, which is more practical than preaching. However, the disadvantages of using corporal punishment are equally serious, and it is very easy to produce confrontation and dissatisfaction between superiors and subordinates, which will damage combat effectiveness, and he finally deleted the article prohibiting corporal punishment in the army in the iron law.

Zhao Yu also has his own reasons for doing this, he knows that the Protector Army has been established, but he really has no idea whether he can go into battle or not. Because the main body of the army is the township brave, in fact, it is the common people, according to the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, military training is also required to be carried out during the slack time, and the review is accepted, but whether it is useful to look at today's Song army to know the level of the township soldiers. And now that the Yuan army is close at hand, and a battle may occur at any time, he has no more time to reorganize the army, in order to quickly improve his combat effectiveness, he can only suffer the flesh and skin of these brothers.

"Your Highness, shall we go over there?" Wang De saw that the prince was very uncomfortable when he heard the screams of the beaten soldiers, and sensibly proposed.

"It's good! Let's look elsewhere. Zhao Hao nodded and said, sighing in his heart that his heart was still not hard enough, no wonder he couldn't make a big deal in his previous life, if he had ignored the boss's pleas and listened to his promise to stay, he would not have lived on the ship for several years, and he would not have used the Great Song Dynasty to travel, maybe he would have become rich and marry Bai Fumei with his own ability.

Liu Zhu took the navy to the dock to hand over the ships, straighten out the equipment, and assign posts, and Zhao Yu could only go around the house to see the progress of the work of the Craftsman Bureau. Speaking of Zhou Xiang, he is also very hard-working, and several important things have been rolled out, and the most important work at present is to build housing to divert the personnel in the house; Then there is the rearmament of weapons and the repair of ships; There is also the making of clothes and hats.

"Your Highness, it's a mess here, be careful not to touch it." Seeing that His Royal Highness came to inspect, Zhou Xiang hurriedly greeted him.

"It's okay, it's General Zhou's hard work." Zhao Yu saw that Zhou Xiang was covered with dust and his eyes were red, and he knew that he had not rested well in the past two days.

"Your Highness, your subordinates should be, yesterday we finally assigned all the personnel, all the ministries were arranged, and today we have all started work, but we are missing everything." Zhou Xiang is half showing merit, half complaining.

"Well, the various departments in the Fuzhong have just been built, the foundation is thin, and the lack of materials is also something that can't be helped, but it will get better and better, how to arrange the personnel?" Zhao Hao knew very well how much money he had, and knew that what he said was the truth, so he didn't think about building socialism overnight, and being able to move at present was the greatest success.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the Craftsman Bureau has recruited more than 1,800 people of all kinds, covering almost all the five elements and eight works on the market." The craftsman bureau was used as a basket by the prince, and everyone put it in, making the craftsman bureau a grocery store, how to arrange these people made him very troubled, Zhou Xiang said with a wry smile, "The subordinates temporarily set up five works according to the needs and the current situation, of which more than 400 people are placed in the weapons work, and here are the best craftsmen; More than 500 people were arranged, mostly plasterers, stonemasons, lacquer masons, bamboo masons, inferior iron carpenters, and apprentices with no skills; There are more than 300 people in the armor work, including cobblers, saddle horse craftsmen, and some women with tailors' skills, of which women account for more than half. ”

"Then there is cooking, there are more than 200 people, some who know how to cook, who have done tea, slaughter, and fish, and some who can't do heavy work, I want them to provide food for all parts of the house." Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, there are a few chefs who have been in charge of the Lin'an Restaurant, and their cooking skills are very good, do you want to send them to the Inner Mansion?" ”

"You are doing a good job, there are already a few cooks in the inner house, and you can still deal with them for the time being, how do you arrange the rest of the people?" For the sake of his reputation, he instructed Zhou Xiang to accept the redundant personnel as much as possible, which was enough to embarrass Zhou Xiang, and now that he can do this, Zhao Yu is already very satisfied.

"Your Highness, the rest of the people have those who can farm, raise flowers and some various crafts, and the subordinates will temporarily organize them into a team if they don't need it for a while, and call them chores, do some chores first, and then assign them if necessary." Zhou Xiang continued.

"General Zhou is really a great general, and he will be of great use in the future." Zhao Hao praised, but this time there was not much water, at least half of it was sincere.

"Your Highness has a good reputation, this is the duty of your subordinates, and you can have this credit thanks to Your Highness's weight and trust. Zhou Xiang bowed and said, he did it all this time, thinking that he had been in the craftsman supervisor for more than 20 years and had not come out, and he had been repeatedly entrusted with important tasks after only a few dozen days with King Wei, and there was still room for improvement, how could he not be willing to bow down and obey orders!

"Weapons are the most important thing, can these people be used?" Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked, although the protector army has been established now, many people are still barehanded, not to mention armor, and these people can't be allowed to use their teeth and fists to deal with the Mongols' war knives.

"What His Highness said is extremely true, and his subordinates are also very anxious, now there are only a few dozen people who are familiar with the hands of those who have come down from the plague ship, and the others still need to be trained and trained, and the tools and raw materials of each workshop are very short, and what can be done now is only tinkering with these simple things." Zhou Xiang thought about it and gritted his teeth and said.

"Well, this king knows that a good craftsman can't be cultivated without ten or eight years, and the materials in the projectile land of Jiazi Town are scarce, and it is difficult to raise them for a while, so the important thing now is to do it first." Now it is tantamount to starting from scratch, it is not easy to keep everyone fed and clothed, and the situation is so difficult, but Zhao Yu knows that as long as he can retain talents, everything is possible.

"Your Highness Xie is considerate!" Zhou Xiang was also worried that the prince would blame himself for his incompetence, but he didn't expect to say a word of seriousness, but comforted him with kind words, which moved him even more.

"Okay, this king will go back to the house first, and everything will be General Lao Zhou." Zhao Yu saw that the time was not early, and said with a smile, "General Zhou, I remember that I heard you say that many people from the Ordnance Supervisor escaped from the capital with you on the epidemic ship. He took two steps, thought of something, and asked again.

"Oh, yes, at that time, there were many craftsmen in the ordnance superintendent, although their subordinates fled, and many people were scattered along the way, and the rest were added to the various armies, and there were only these dozens of people around me, so it's a pity to think of it." Zhou Xiang was stunned and replied, I don't know why the prince asked about this matter again.

"General Zhou, can you still contact them?" Zhao Hao looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness, it should ...... It should be okay, I saw a few people some time ago, and they are not doing well, Your Highness wants to ......" Zhou Xiang reacted suddenly and asked in surprise.

"Well, you can recruit them into the mansion and use them for your use." Zhao Yu bowed his head lightly, he understood that if half of the craftsmen of the military weapons supervisor were recruited to the mansion, then these talents would bring unexpected miracles to him in the future.

"Your Highness, it can be, but they may not necessarily come." Zhou Xiang thought about it and said, His Royal Highness's appetite is a bit big, if ten or eight of them can be done by themselves, if they all get it, it is too difficult to rely on red mouth and white teeth to say, and it is also a sin to let people find out that they are abducting soldiers.

"I know this matter is not easy, you just go to find it, if he puts forward conditions as long as it is not particularly excessive, you can agree to them, and tomorrow you will go to the inner mansion to get the money." Zhao Yu whispered.

"Your Highness...... How many people does Your Highness want to recruit? Zhou Xiang was taken aback by the prince's words, but he also wondered how a child would know how to use such a 'dirty' method, if someone taught it, but just now he clearly saw that the prince was improvised.

"How much you want, don't be stingy with money, and the personnel are not limited to those who are in the arms prison, and we will accept those who have the ability." Zhao Yu beckoned Zhou Xiang to lower his body and said in his ear.

"Your Highness, digging the foot of the wall is a taboo in the army, and these people are all tattooed, what should I do if I find the house?" Zhou Xiang secretly said that the prince was so generous, but he was also worried that something would happen, so the prince pushed 625 and threw himself out to carry the black pot.

"Try not to let people find out, but don't be afraid if you find out, even if you push this king, they won't dare to rob people in the palace!" How could Zhou Xiang's mind not be seen by Zhao Yu, and immediately gave him a reassuring pill......
