After the township troops of each county were stationed in the school review camp, Liao Shanhe, the commander-in-chief of the school review, had to toss and toss the soldiers of the township army every once in a while.

The soldiers of these township troops, after the continuous training of their respective village and pavilion officials, have basically mastered the tactical essentials of various subjects, such as queues, attacking and advancing, and covering retreats, but now they are often suddenly called up at the third watch in the morning and ordered to march 20 miles in full armor.

The rapid march of twenty miles in full gear is the reserved program of the entire Li Jiajun before breakfast, and it is also the regular training subject that Li Zhongyi attaches the most importance to.

The vast majority of the peasants in the Central Plains do not know how to ride horses, and raising a qualified war horse and cultivating a qualified cavalry warrior is not only extremely costly, but also too expensive for the farming nation!

These former local farmers have no other skills, picking more than 100 catties of grain, and driving dozens of miles, or even hundreds of miles, a day, is commonplace.

Although the peasants have little culture, their living habits are not good, and they are still very superstitious. However, in terms of the spirit of hardship and hard work, the simple peasants are far superior to the dignitaries, the rich, the big landlords, and even the small merchants and peddlers in the cities.

Giving full play to one's strong points and avoiding weaknesses, making whatever kind of national defense preparations and fighting any kind of war are the national defense policies that are most in line with the right path of the art of war.

All in all, it is obviously unrealistic to let every soldier of the township army have horses and train them to be qualified cavalry warriors!

Therefore, after Li Zhongyi started from Hechi, he has repeatedly emphasized the ability to run long-distance, no matter when, it is extremely important!

Controlling the slow with fast has always been the magic weapon of the grassland people to restrain the farming people, and the core carrier is a large number of war horses!

Restricting a slow-moving army with a highly mobile navy is certainly the direction of military development in the future. For example, the British army in the First Opium War invaded the Qing Dynasty with a small number of people. The naval fleet carried the officers and men of the army along the coastline all the way north, fighting if it could and leaving if it could not, and finally forced the Qing court to sign a treaty satisfactory to the British.

After the Lantern Festival, the Privy Council, the highest military and political organ of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was extremely busy.

Today's Privy Council, the position of Privy Councillor in charge of the country's military and political affairs, has been vacant, and only a few Privy Councillors and Privy Councillors who signed the same letter have accepted the order to assist Li Zhongyi in taking charge of military affairs.

In the previous Li Jiajun, the highest-ranking military departments were mainly the Privy Council, which was in charge of military affairs, the General Staff Department in charge of military orders, command, and training, the Logistics Department in charge of money, baggage, and materials, the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, which held the power to enforce military law, and the Suppression Department in charge of political work.

Li Zhongyi fully learned the lesson of the martial arts interfering in politics, and under him, there was no post such as deputy commander. The core purpose of this is to prevent military power from falling into the hands of others.

As far as the military system of the imperial court is concerned, the Privy Council should be the highest military department deservedly, however, Li Zhongyi actually only regarded the Privy Council as a military and political department similar to the General Political Department.

The de facto supreme officer of the Privy Council, the Privy Councillor, and the top officers of the General Staff, the Logistics Department, the Military Judge Advocate General, and the Pacification Department, are of the same rank and rank, and everyone is on an equal footing, regardless of whether they are high or low.

It is worth mentioning that Li Zhongyi divided the military and political power of the army into two, with the Privy Council and the Department of Suppression and Pacification jointly in charge of the personnel power of the army.

In Cao County, a small country in Northeast Asia, the most powerful military general in the real sense is neither vice chairman of the National Defense Commission nor chief of the general staff of the People's Army, but director of the General Political Bureau. This shows the absolute importance of the military's personnel power.

In the review camp, the soldiers of the township army of the capital were lined up on the side of the school field, quietly waiting for someone to be sent from above to review them.

With little effort, Li Zhengqing, the deputy team member of the inspection team, stroked the saber on his waist, took a big stride, and walked to the front of the township army column with his head held high.

"All of them, Lizheng!" The pavilion that led the team, Jia Qiusheng, raised his voice and shouted a loud password.

"Smack!" The soldiers of the township army joined their legs together in response, and stared at Li Zhengqing's body one by one.

Tingzheng Jia Qiusheng hurriedly ran in front of Li Zhengqing, beat his chest and saluted, and said loudly: "Zhang and Tingting Zheng Jia Qiusheng of Xiangfu County led the Benting Township Army to accept the review of Shangguan. ”

According to the regulations, officers who have been transferred from the army to the local government are appointed as village leaders and heads are appointed as pavilions, which is the standard configuration.

Li Zhengqing is just a deputy inspector, and in terms of rank in the army, he is far worse than Jia Qiusheng. However, Li Zhengqing was ordered by the General Staff Department to inspect the training of the Zhangheting Township Army on behalf of the entire military, and just like the military police, he had the power to see officials at the senior level.

More importantly, Jia Qiusheng knew Li Zhengqing, and was also one of the few middle- and lower-ranking officers who knew Li Zhengqing's true background.

When Li Zhengqing was still the head soldier, although Jia Qiusheng was not his direct boss, he was also the leader of the Bingdu B team under the same command (battalion).

Jia Qiusheng used to be the deputy captain of the throat reprimanding battalion, and Chu Xiong was a hardcore robe, so he naturally knew Li Zhengqing's true background.

Li Zhengqing beat his chest and returned the salute, and said loudly: "The lower officer was ordered to come to review the long-distance attack training course of the Guiting Township Army, during this period, all the officers and soldiers in Guiting must listen to the orders of the lower officer, do you hear clearly?" ”

"Whoa." Jia Qiusheng looked like a businessman, and did not treat Li Zhengqing with excessive courtesy. Many things are clearly pretending to be confused, which is definitely a hundred times stronger than directly piercing the truth?

Even if Li Zhengqing is not a son of a family with a deep background, because of his duty of inspection and supervision, Jia Qiusheng will never dare to slack off in the slightest, not to mention that Li Zhengqing is the grandson of the prince of Huayang County?

There is a good concubine Niangniang in the palace of Huayang County, and the good concubine Niangniang is the most favored woman of the lord, if you can't even figure out this relationship, Jia Qiusheng might as well find a piece of tofu and kill her.

"Okay, let's check the basic situation of the Guiting Township Army first......" Li Zhengqing held the summary materials given by the Senate Department in his hand, got together with Jia Qiusheng, and carefully verified the specific situation of Zhang Heting Township Army.

In the end, after Jia Qiusheng returned to the team, Li Zhengqing officially took over the temporary command of the Zhang Heting Township Army.

"All of them, Lizheng!" Li Zhengqing narrowed his eyes and decisively issued a series of orders.

Turn right ......

"Three steps forward...... Halt! ”

"First row, all out of the ......"

"Second row, turn backwards and walk in unison......"

The platoon training of the infantry army is the basic operational requirement that Li Zhongyi particularly stresses. The core of this is that the infantry army against any class requires a complete queue line.

In layman's terms, as long as the queue is not chaotic, no one dares to turn around and run away, no matter how scared everyone is, their morale will not fall too much.
