The large army cantonment camp is roughly divided into three categories according to time and army (qíng), one is the permanent camp, which is mostly built with loess ramming, just like a small city, and generally faces the kind of protracted war that is a dozen or two years.

The other is in the face of three or five months of war, this kind of camp has no permanent fortifications, most of them choose the dangerous terrain and then add trenches, fences, antlers and other fortifications, after the war is over, dismantle and leave.

The last one is a (xìng) camp, which is generally mostly an overnight camp on the marching road, and the materials for building the camp are mostly trees in the nearby mountains and forests, coupled with some fortifications that come with it.

Of course, the construction (qíng) of the Youchuan camp is according to the second type, and because of the low hill in the middle, it looks like an arrow target from a distance.

The Chinese military camp is stationed in the central point, and important personnel, confidential documents, and major military aircraft are all in it, which can be said to be the head of the entire military camp, so it is also called the commander's account.

The circle of barracks closest to the marshal's tent of the Chinese army is inhabited by the horse army, commonly known as the cavalry battalion, and the most important thing in this circle of barracks is the war horse, not the horseman.

In the era of cold weapons, the status of the war horse is equivalent to the tank of later generations, Zhong Feng is trapped, spying (qíng) newspaper, (sāo) disturbing and intercepting many important occasions to use them, the Song Dynasty has very few war horses, even if it is the heyday of the Great Song Dynasty, the war horse is only so lost, not to mention only half of the remnants of the Song Dynasty.

In the army, the life of war horses is higher than that of soldiers, so the matter of five horses changing a black gauze hat is not empty, and there is no way to link the rank of officials with the number of war horses.

The outer ring of the cavalry battalion is the infantry barracks, and the infantry is divided into three categories: heavy armor soldiers, light armor soldiers, and ordinary soldiers wearing a layer of number clothing.

The armor of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be varied, the most common step armor is made of iron pieces forged with 100 steel, and then connected together with a strong ox tendon rope, Hun (shēn) only shows the eyes up and down, and some iron helmets also have iron mesh to protect the eyes, this (tào) iron armor has to weigh twenty or thirty kilograms, and those who can wear this kind of armor are mostly tall tough guys with big shoulders and wide waists.

Light armor is much simpler, most of them are a mixture of iron pieces and cowhide, and some are simply leather armor, this kind of light armor is fast to manufacture and low cost, so the number of light armor soldiers in this army is also the largest, there is no way that this Great Song Dynasty is not only short of horses but also lack of iron.

The number of infantry troops was five times more than that of the horse army, that is, five infantry troops were top of one cavalry, so the status of the two sides was also much different.

Behind the infantry camp is the miscellaneous barracks, that is, the miscellaneous personnel such as Zizhong soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, medical guards, and firehead soldiers.

For example, the soldiers and militia groups from the lower prefectures and counties generally serve as auxiliaries, and the Zizhong soldiers are selected from the recruited people to fill the positions.

On the periphery of this circle of miscellaneous barracks lived people from various states and counties, commonly known as "errand camps", which means people who run errands and work.

On the periphery of the Minfu camp is the bow and crossbow battalion, and lining them outside is not to say that they have the lowest status, but the role of function, when the enemy attacks the camp, their gang (shè) can also rush to support as soon as possible.

The outermost part of the bow and crossbow battalion is surrounded by various checkpoints and patrolling soldiers.

From the point of view of the camp, the different branches of the military represent different status, speaking of status, in addition to the different grades of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, the soldiers in this army are also strictly divided into different ranks.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the soldiers and the box soldiers were divided into upper, middle, and lower three, and after the Northern Court crossed to the south, the soldiers were renamed the garrison army, and the soldiers inside were effective

There are two levels of military and military soldiers, and there is also a special type of military called envoys.

Envoy is the general name of these low-ranking military officials of the eighth and ninth ranks, and the envoys generally do not lead troops to fight, and they have their own (shēn) errands, such as the detective envoy who is responsible for the reconnaissance mission, and the envoy with the back seal of the general, and so on.

Of course, some envoys will also lead troops to fight, so in the army and divided the envoys, utility, three levels of soldiers, and later Song Xiaozong period of the army was restructured, the implementation of utility, military soldiers two levels of military system.

What does utility mean? Well, it is a soldier recruited from the civil good family to serve the state, the family is a good family out (shēn), so this (shēn) share and treatment is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, ordinary recruited soldiers are called "long line", in the past, they had to tattoo the name of the military camp on their faces or arms, but they are not effective, not only do they not tattoo the soldiers' salaries are twice as high as you, and the rewards of rice, grain, cloth and silk are also more than what you hold, because people's status is higher than yours.

If you are fighting a war, you can throw away the weapon in your hand if your heart (qíng) is not good, and if you find the general and say that I want to go home to study and take the imperial examination, then the general has to seriously consider whether to let someone go back or reward him with a whip, if it is a long line, he will generally reward the whip directly.

The abolition of the tattoo system and the popularization of its effectiveness were a major reform of the military system in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it also made the sons of good folk families and those of the country enlist in the army, which instantly increased the combat effectiveness of the Southern Song Dynasty army, which also shows from the side that the social status of the soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty is gradually improving.

However, the steps of the Southern Song Dynasty have been wrong from the beginning, just like the pyramids of Egypt, and no matter how much the status of the soldiers is improved, they are still struggling at the bottom of the pyramid.

If a small soldier wants to climb up hard, he can become the fire captain in charge of ten people in three years by virtue of his years, and then he needs to see whether you are skilled in bows and horses, superb in martial arts, and if you are rated as excellent in every assessment, and then you can be the leader of the team in charge of fifty people.

At this time, if you still want to climb up, you have to have military merit, military merit is divided into two kinds, one is the errand sent by the official, if you complete it quickly and beautifully, you will be promoted to one level after two or three times, one level plus one order, commonly known as a great merit, you can become the head of a hundred younger brothers.

It looks simple but there are too many people in the army, and the errand is just a little bit, and it takes a long time to wait for an errand, but when you look at it, it is difficult, it can't be completed, and the rank is punished by one level, is it a loss?

Therefore, another kind of real military merit was born, "head merit", the bandit may need two more, but the gold thief can make you rise to the next level.

Being a soldier is the business of knife mouth (tiǎn) blood, people die to the sky, and the immortal rich and noble take it, so when I hear about the war, the happiest thing in the army is these "killing talents".

When the head of the capital is over, many people will be satisfied, because in the county, the head is the existence of a grandfather, but in the army, all the heads are everywhere, which is not a prestige, and the real majesty in the army is the battalion owner, the official name, and the battalion commander who manages 500 people.

Liu Sanlang's father is the deputy commander of the Qingchuan Army, that is, the deputy battalion owner.

The first level of the Great Song Battalion is the most basic military unit, and the chain stores of some companies in later generations are the same, to the outside world, how many stores I have, and it is the same here, seeing a certain general slap the table and shout majestically, "Point up the ten battalions of soldiers and horses!" Kill all these gold thieves! "It means that you will be given 5,000 soldiers.

Command the level of "general" upwards, that is, the commonly known generals, there are preparation generals, deputy generals, generals, and many "nominal generals" who do not have direct soldiers in their hands, what partial generals, charge generals, Zi major generals, etc., most of which are used to highlight their status and reputation.

An ordinary creep with

Military merit can sit at the level of the battalion owner at most, and then go up, military merit alone is not enough, it depends on whether the official takes care of you, and after fighting for performance and relationship, the future generations will also be like this.

There is also the "army" level above the first level, the commander and deputy commander, these military masters, casually pull one out, there are tens of thousands of horses under their hands, and most of the people who can get to this point belong to the boss's cronies.

Further on, there is a capital system, and a deputy capital control level, and the one who can be an official position is either you have a powerful minister (tǐng) in the imperial court, or Jane is in the emperor's heart.

Many small soldiers have struggled all their lives, and it would be good to be a battalion master at most.

The whole army has more than 200 barracks, large and small, and they have their own school barracks for practicing martial arts and camps for sleeping, kitchens for eating, material rooms for grain, grass and ordnance, well, there are indispensable thatched houses and baths.

As soon as the state soldiers from Longzhou entered the camp, they were taken to the miscellaneous barracks, and the dogs naturally had to enter the people's camp.

The 800 men were divided into two battalions, so Gou'er and his party stood in an open space, looking at a round-faced officer and dividing everyone into "classes".

There were three bangs, and the big man in the green-robed military attache uniform waved his whip and shouted softly to everyone: "You grandsons, no matter what you used to do in the county or in the village, now that you have entered the camp of our Western Army, you must shrink your neck and pretend to be grandparents obediently. ”

"A certain family is going to arrange a camp tent now, and your grandsons are all stunned by grandpa's ears, and whoever grandpa shouts to him, he will answer loudly to grandpa, and whoever wants to be quiet, reward him with ten whips first! Do you hear me? ”

A group of people shouted "yes" at the top of their voices!

"Longzhou, Pingwu, Jiangyou's grandfather stands in the east, and the others stand in the west!"

A group of people moved their positions in a hurry, and it took a while to stand under the whip of the military attaché.

"You are the first day, and a certain family is too lazy to clean you up, so let you take a breath first, and then follow the section in front of the camp to your own barracks to settle down, and then come out to wash and eat, tomorrow's task is to register you idiots, and select the camp leaders of their respective barracks, okay, let's all disperse, grandpa will go back to eat when he is hungry!"

After saying that, the officer took the whip and left with a few soldiers in stride, and the dog and his party were dumbfounded.

After entering the second barracks, General Zhang and Old Man Zhou continued to walk forward with the carriage Zizhong, and the Gou'er group of people were led to the people's barracks by the military men who answered, so they divided into two roads.

He was just a servant who escorted the people, and the person sent to the camp theoretically said that the errand was over, and when he got the receipt document issued by the camp, he could leave the camp and return to the county government to pay the errand.

But seeing the military attache who was giving the lecture, he left impatiently after shouting, but he dried his own group of servants aside, what is this matter.

Therefore, the officials from Longzhou gathered in front of the dog and stared at the dog, and the meaning was obvious.

The dog coughed and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask." ”

With his hands arched, the dog opened his legs and chased after the departing officer.

Each barracks has its own barracks guard, and there are special soldiers patrolling the road between the camps.

As the saying goes, there are no rules, and this military camp is the place where the most military law camp rules are paid, so there are rules and regulations for this move, and it is naturally not permissible to run around like a dog, and then he was arrested by the patrolling soldiers, and he was not interrogated and rewarded with two whips, and then kidnapped.
