Chapter 416: Training the Army
"Master Hou, at this speed, it will only take half a month for the army to arrive in Yangzhou, I don't know what we should do next?"
As soon as the army went out, the generals gathered around Cai Cong and asked, not to mention anything else, except for the people transferred from various armies, no one else had any experience in fighting, let alone fighting across the ocean, everyone had no bottom in their hearts.
"The whole army slows down, the thieves and water thieves in all states and provinces are all defeated by me, Benhou wants to use them to train the army, before arriving in Yangzhou, even if you can't see all the blood, you have to see the scene of killing, understand?"
Cai Cong's words were filled with the smell of blood, Fang Yuan and the others were full of sympathy for these bandits, they were swept away by the army like this, and today the state capitals along the Grand Canal have all been excellent in the assessment of the officials.
"This matter is in charge of Su Dingfang and Xu Jie, four months are free for you to play, the army will conquer Fusang in October, Lao Tzu wants an army that can eat people, understand?"
"Honorable Marquis Military Order!"
Everyone stomped their feet and roared, Cai Cong thought for a while and said: "It's not enough, it's not enough, Fang Yuan, you order five thousand veterans and five thousand recruits, go straight to Yangzhou, and wipe out the pirates in the nearby waters to Lao Tzu, take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the mode of naval warfare, understand?" ”
The Yangzhou area in this era can be large, and Taizhou in later generations is also included in Yangzhou, called Hailing County, and this time the army is stationed in Hailing County.
"The last general commands!"
Fang Yuan shouted loudly, and immediately went out to order troops and horses, everything was going on in an orderly manner. Cai Cong looked at the river, his heart was uneven for a long time, before setting off he told Li Shimin that summer is the hurricane season, and the chance of ship destruction and death is more than 70% when he goes to sea, so he will not seek Fusang until after October, but he doesn't know if Li Shimin can stop the snowflakes of impeachment after four months of wandering in the state capitals.
The 100,000-strong army was completely dispersed by Cai Cong, and was split into many teams by Cai Cong and assigned to Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Su and other places to suppress bandits and train troops. As Cai Cong expected, the snowflakes flakes flocked to Chang'an, although this is a good thing, but this slapped the local officials in the face!
Are we so incompetent, and the bandits will be a disaster under our rule, and the officials will not be able to govern clearly? I won't talk about it if you come and leave in two days, and it's not the prosperous era of Datong, there will always be a small group of thieves, but what does it mean that you have a army of 2,000 people and a cottage of 300 people for half a month? I don't know how serious the bandits are under my rule!
As the saying goes, if I don't feel good, you will feel bad, and if you fall into my face, then don't blame me for making it difficult for you, just write that he supports the army and respects himself, and wantonly interferes in the governance of local officials, hmm...... also invites people to buy people's hearts and accumulate prestige, and it seems that there will be a heart of disobedience.
That's right, even if you can't sue him, you have to give him some eye drops, and you have to play it together, so that you know that you are wrong. The officials along the way secretly thought, this is the early Tang Dynasty officials ruled Qingming, good officials abound, Cai Cong went to a place around the only handful of bandits, bandits, playing a game of cat and mouse, after a long time, the outside said that this magistrate is not good, otherwise how can it be so long?
Li Shimin's favorite thing in the court is to share the impeachment of Cai Cong with the big guys, there are various reasons, and some people say that Cai Cong has coveted the ugly girl in their county for a long time, and this is to send someone to wait for the opportunity to snatch the ugly girl, and the mess makes people laugh.
The cicadas in early summer made people upset and irritable, and the old master in the school shook his head and sang about the dense insects in the deep bamboo trees, and there was a slight coolness from time to time, not the wind. The mischievous little ones are thinking about how to sneak out into the woods for a while.
And there was a group of people in the forest who were drowsy, their eyes were as black as if they had been coated with ashes, and they were lying or sitting with weapons full of openings, scattered and scattered.
"Why are you doing this to us today, isn't it Laipi? Believe it or not, I told the general to go. ”
"What! Yesterday it was you who caused us to be punished, and today we have to compensate for it, do we know? ”
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the forest, and all the people in the forest jumped up at once, their blood-red eyes full of cruelty and fear, like prey being chased by hunters.
"I fought with them......"
A man rushed out of the forest screaming, and there were several screams outside, and then the man's terrible voice was heard: "If I don't go, kill me!" I'm not running away, don't drive me away. ”
The voice was desolate and painful, and the people in the forest closed their eyes in pain, and after struggling for a while, they dropped their weapons and walked out of the forest like walking corpses, kneeling on the ground. Zhuge Liang beat Meng Shu and captured seven verticals, we were caught by you once a day, and it was a month to catch one side, and the bandits are also people! I don't want you to play like this.
"This batch is scrapped, take it away! This group of dog thieves is also a good fate, and they can survive after committing so many big crimes, God really has no eyes. ”
Qin Zheng said angrily, he is Qin Shubao's nephew, and it is extremely appropriate for him to be stuffed into the army with a jealous and hateful nature.
"Count their fate, let them go to mining when the time comes, Hou Ye said that this is called hard labor. Take them all down and look at them and pollute your eyes. The leader of the other squad was a veteran of the New Army, who was talking impatiently at the moment. These evil bandits have been tortured by them for a month, and they have been defeated, and they still have a strong force to hold on, but now that they surrender, their spirit is gone, and whether they dare to take a knife in the future is two words.
"Let's go, go to the next bandit's den, there is an order from above, this wave of people will not be left, all killed, a thousand people will be put into battle, and the rest will watch the battle! You recruits are just trouble, and you can't even vomit in human shape when you look at it. This time, the group of people who usually vomit the most are thrown into battle. ”
The veteran was so depressed that he couldn't speak, this was the worst soldier he had ever led, and he couldn't adapt to seeing blood for so long, and his endurance was too low.
"Isn't that okay? It's hard to drive people crazy. "Qin Zheng doesn't feel good, he can't stand it, what should he do if something happens with such a strong pressure?
"You are good at everything, but you are too soft-hearted, Master Hou asked us to train the army, not to play in the mountains and rivers, you are so bad, not good, how will you go to the battlefield in the future?" The veteran stared and said, he was very dissatisfied with Qin Zheng's perfunctory attitude, and the soldier should be decisive and resolute.
"Then listen to you! Let's hope nothing happens. ”
"It's not all like this, when you go to the battlefield, either you die or I die, and one of them will die!" The veteran said as he pulled out the map and began to advise on how to hit the bandits' den.
This kind of scene can be seen everywhere in the navy, the indecisiveness and fear of blood of the recruits, and the soft-heartedness of the small bosses are forcefully suppressed by the iron-blooded methods of the veterans, and little by little they are transformed into qualified soldiers.
Fighting small thieves is naturally trivial, but it is difficult to fight pirates, not to mention the giant thieves and the pirates of the big food country who have crossed the sea, it is those small groups of pirates who row small wooden boats, which also makes Fang Yuan and them anxious, and they can't give full play to the advantages of big ships at all, and they are defeated by others, if it weren't for the vicious methods of those veterans, the ships would have been driven away.
Cai Cong received Fang Yuan's battle report and was immediately furious, he couldn't even beat the pirates, how could he cross the ocean to fight Fusang?
