Chapter 71: The Great Reading
Three days passed, and early in the morning, in the great teaching field of Kaipingwei, there were hundreds of households lined up neatly. The infantry was in the center, and the cavalry was on the flanks. These are all elite soldiers who have been fighting with the Tatars all year round, and at this time, they are lined up neatly, and the whole team can't help but be filled with a murderous aura. Ordinary people shudder when they come here.
There is a phalanx for each hundred households, and the officials of the hundred households stand in front of the team. There were a total of twenty phalanxes, waiting neatly for Jia Ke to come and review.
At the end of the Chen hour, at the beginning of the morning (about nine o'clock in the morning), Jia Ke came to the Dajiao Field with his own soldiers, and when he saw Jia Ke coming, some officers and soldiers couldn't help but look at the new Qianhu Lord.
I saw that he was wearing a phoenix ornament and a purple and gold crown, wearing a treasure unicorn bright light armor, a fire dragon divine horse under his crotch, and a Fang Tian painting halberd hanging on the victory hook of the bird's wing ring.
The body is dignified and the appearance is dignified. A pair of eyes shoot cold stars, two curved eyebrows are like paint, and the chest is broad, with the majesty of ten thousand invincibles.
Seeing Jia Ke like this, all the officers and soldiers were awe-struck in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts for this young Qianhu adult.
Jia Ke took his own soldiers to the parade before the stage, turned over and dismounted, and then went straight to the parade, there were already pro-soldiers who moved the big chair, Jia Ke sat upright on the chair, and his personal soldiers were set up in the fourth parade.
Jia Ke looked down on the parade platform, and the soldiers below were all sturdy men, with more or less murderous aura on their faces, but except for the hundred households, the other soldiers were only wearing mandarin duck robes, although the weapons were quite neat, but none of them were wearing armor. But think about it, if all the soldiers were armoured, the finances of the imperial court would have gone bankrupt long ago.
However, Jia Ke was not optimistic about their formation, and he decided to re-practice the formation in the future, and used the Macedonian phalanx rehearsed by his own soldiers in Xia Caozhuang to deal with the steppe cavalry, which can be said to complement each other.
Seeing Jia Ke sitting down, the hundreds of households in the audience all came to the front of the stage, knelt down on one knee to Jia Ke, and reported together: "Lord Qiqi, all the hundred households in Kaipingwei have arrived, please review." ”
Jia Ke said loudly on the stage: "Each hundred household officials will return to the team and start the verification immediately." ”
With the soldiers in the audience, he began to practice various formations. There are nine kinds of formations, such as the Fish Scale Array, the Arrow Array, the Crane Wing Array, and the Glaive Array.
Jia Ke can see clearly from above that if these formations really work, they are really powerful. However, these formations have a common problem, that is, they are too complicated and require very high cooperation from soldiers. As soon as someone leaves, in the wrong position, the whole formation can collapse. In the exercise, this problem was very prominent.
You must know that most of the ancient soldiers were from peasant families, and they were illiterate, so it was really difficult for them to carry out such a complex operation, and the soldiers of Kaipingwei were already considered elite in the entire Xuanfu Town, but their drills were still not ideal. You can see how bad the situation is in other troops.
So Jia Ke decided to improve the formation in Kaipingwei. The Macedonian phalanx is used for all infantry formations, which are simple and practical, and have great lethality to the steppe cavalry. And for the training of our side, it is very simple. It's in line with the current situation.
After the formation drill was completed, each hundred households returned to their respective positions, and one hundred households came to the reading platform together, knelt down on one knee and said to Jia Ke: "Lord Qiyu, the formation drill is complete." ”
Jia Ke said to them: "Everyone returns to the team, I have something to say." ”
After Jia Ke finished speaking, each hundred households returned to the front of the team and waited for Jia Ke's lecture.
Jia Ke stood up and walked to the forefront of the reading platform. Say to the following: "Brothers below, some of you may already know. Our Kaipingwei had a traitor, the traitor not only embezzled money and food, withheld military salaries, but also reported to the enemy, I was discovered a few days ago, trying to escape, and I sent someone to chase him back. Do you know who he is? ”
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he stared fiercely below, and saw that no one answered below. He then said: "He is our master Wang Wan, you can't think of it." It's this guy who tried to escape, but fortunately I chased him back, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Jia Ke paused, and then said: "I think he did more bad things than this, otherwise how could the thousands of households who took office die for no reason." This is completely out of common sense. ”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, the people below also began to discuss, and they all felt that what Jia Ke said was very reasonable. knows that it is the safest to be an official on the battlefield, but this Kaipingwei doesn't know how to do it, and he has died several thousand households in a row, which is completely incredible.
As for the deduction of military salaries and money and food, it is a major matter related to everyone, and it is indeed worse to give food in the past few months. The military salary has also changed from the previous cash silver to scattered copper coins.
You must know that in this era, silver is expensive and copper is cheap, and the proportion of official quotations and private prices is very different. In the official one, one tael of silver can only be exchanged for seven or eight hundred copper coins, while in the private sector, one tael of silver can be exchanged for more than 1,000 copper coins.
Since the king came to Kaipingwei, several thousands of households have trusted him, and he is in charge of the army's equipment, money and food, and since he came, the military salaries have been paid in copper coins, and he naturally cannot go to the civilian exchange ratio to distribute to the sergeants. He gave the soldiers a tael of silver or eight hundred copper coins according to the official offer. Although the soldiers complained, the king's book also paid the soldiers according to the official quota, and on the surface, the military salary was not deducted, but the silver was exchanged for copper coins. The soldiers also had nothing to say, and the difference between the king's book and the king's book was earned.
Many poor soldiers hated the king to the core. At this time, when they heard Jia Ke say this, they all clamored, and they all shouted: "Kill him? Kill this dog corrupt official. ”
Jia Ke waved his hand from above, suppressed the voice below, and then said to the below: "If it is just embezzlement of military salaries, it is not a crime to die, and it is enough to hand him over to Shangguan Faluo, this dog thing dares to leave the fort without permission, and those who leave the fort without permission according to military regulations will be punished as a spy and will be decided." ”
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he instructed Liu Yu next to him: "Bring Wang Wan up." ”
Liu Yu immediately went down and asked the king to bring up the book. The current king has messy hair, red eyes, dark eye circles, and messy clothes on his body. How can there be the majesty of the court with Jia Ke that day.
Wang Wan was pulled up and forced to kneel in front of Jia Ke, Wang Wan was not convinced, and still thought that he was just embezzling military salaries, Jia Ke took him into custody and interrogated at most, and then handed him over to Shangguan for processing, and when he got to the top, naturally the prefect dredged him up, so when he saw Jia Ke again, he was angry and not convinced.
Wang Wan knelt down and shouted at Jia Ke: "You framed Zhongliang, you have no king's law, I will take revenge in the future." ”
Jia Ke glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Are you still thinking about the future?" According to military regulations, if you leave the fort without permission, you should be punished according to the conspiracy. What else do you have to say now? ”
The main book was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he swept all the things that Jia Ke had done when he came to Anpingwei, and it was completely connected at once.
Only then did he find out that he had fallen for Jia Ke's tricks, and Jia Ke asked him for the account book at that time, not to check the accounts at all, but to make him panic and flee to Xuanfu Town for help.
And Kaipingwei is in the army, not in the locality, what is implemented here is military law, as long as there is no order from Jia Ke, he dares to take a step out of Kaipingwei without permission, and then Jia Ke can ask for his head in any name, even his family members will not be spared, and they will be demoted to official slaves. After figuring out the cause and effect, he collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up again.
