Chapter 580: Ready to Move
The rumbling drums sounded, and before the three links were reached, all the horses gathered under the point platform. A full 10,000 horses, neatly arranged, with an area as large as a radius of five miles, all looked up and stared at Qin Forget silently.
"What a fast pace, such a neat formation!" Seeing that the soldiers of the First Army came up and came to this show, Zhang Ye couldn't help but admire, and the other generals also praised it.
"Xue Feiyun, let's start!" Qin Forget smiled slightly and ordered Qin Wang.
Xue Feiyun received the order, and with a move of the order flag in his hand, the 10,000 troops below immediately moved.
I saw 10,000 people under the leadership of generals at all levels, instantly divided into two halves, of which 5,000 people rushed forward under the leadership of a black-faced young general, ran a distance of about five miles, made a clean turn, crossed a small arc, turned around, and faced the remaining 5,000 cavalry who remained in place. A full 5,000 people, like arms and fingers, the formation is not chaotic at all, and it is still as neat as the original.
"Beautiful! General Qin, who is that black-faced young general? It is rare to be able to complete the turning action of 5,000 people in such a small space, it is really rare. Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Ye asked.
"That kid's name is Chen Chuhao, the third son of Chen Dajin, the commander of the Zhennan Army." Seeing the reborn Chen Chuhao, Qin Wang's eyes were even satisfied, "This kid used to be flying and domineering, and he was finally cleaned up by the general, but I didn't expect to be able to enter Zhang Shuai's eyes, it is really his creation." ”
As the two of them were talking, Chen Chuhao suddenly roared, and rushed forward with the five thousand cavalry under his command, and the target was the five thousand cavalry who had been left in place. The five thousand cavalry naturally did not sit idly by, and also mobilized, rushing towards Chen Chuhao's men and horses. All of a sudden, the horse's hooves rumbled, the killing intent shook the sky, and the two cavalry actually wanted to hedge!
"What are they going to do? Qin Forget, you're crazy! How many people are lost in this hedge? Seeing the movements of the two cavalry in the distance, Zhang Ye's face changed greatly. It is said that Ci is not in charge of the army, he can become the god of the Great Yan Army, he has never been a soft-hearted person, but this is the first time he has seen such a training method. This is training, it is simply war.
"That's how my army is trained." Qin Forget smiled slightly, but didn't take it to heart.
It was too late, and then it was too fast, and the two centaurs quickly changed formations in the high-speed gallop, and both turned into a sharp edge, colliding with each other sharp.
"Kill ......" A noisy shout of killing came, and Zhang Ye clearly felt a real murderous aura. He saw dozens of knights drop their horses from their horses and drown in the herd, not knowing whether they would live or die. Zhang Ye's heart couldn't help but rise, and he wanted to use his identity as the main general to stop this martial arts exercise many times, but he still couldn't help it when he saw Qin Wang's indifferent expression.
In the blink of an eye, the two armies staggered, and dozens of doctors quickly rushed into the battlefield and took the wounded men and horses away, Zhang Ye and others clearly saw that seven or eight cavalry soldiers were carried down by the flesh and blood.
"Centaurs with white marks on their bodies are out of the ranks!" The two magistrates walked up to the two cavalry detachments and shouted loudly.
The soldiers on both sides were very well-behaved, and consciously walked out of more than a thousand cavalry. Zhang Ye saw that there were one or several white marks on their bodies or on the war horses under their crotch. "Qin Forget, what is this for?" He asked, puzzled.
"Martial arts is martial arts, how can you really let your subordinates lose their lives at will?" Qin Forget explained with a smile, "The hooves of the war horses are wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and even if the soldiers fall off the horse, they will not necessarily be trampled to death.
The weapons were also made of wood and plastered with lime, and anyone with white marks on them meant that they had been killed and must withdraw from the battle. Of course, it is inevitable that the soldiers will die in battle, and the seven or eight of them died in battle just now. ”
"I see." Hearing that this was the case, Zhang Ye's face looked a lot better, "Usually training will cost you your life, Qin Wang, isn't this kind of training too harsh?" ”
"Sweat more in training, shed less blood in wartime." Qin Forget said disapprerovingly, "Our Han riding skills are inherently weak, how can we face difficulties without putting in ten times and a hundred times the effort?" Zhang Shuai rest assured that the fallen soldiers will not die in vain, and there will be generous pensions in our army. ”
"That's good, that's good." Knowing Qin Wang's character, Zhang Ye didn't say more, "No wonder the 10,000 cavalry under your command are so elite, this commander knows, let them stop fighting, and save more casualties." ”
"No, an army will shoot, and it will not die!" How do you know that Qin Wu shook his head and rejected Zhang Ye's order, "An army will compete once a month, and whoever stands last will win, let them stop at this time, and the soldiers themselves will not be willing." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Wang's words fell, the two cavalry shouted in unison and collided again. If so, no one will back down.
"The division of tigers and wolves, it is really the division of tigers and wolves!" Seeing the increasing number of casualties, Zhang Ye sighed, "Ladies and gentlemen, General Qin's method is still worth learning from, and his infantry training method adopted by the Fourth Army in Zhenbei is now a big increase in strength, and General Qin's talent is admired by this commander!" ”
The exercise ended in Chen's victory. In the end, only more than 300 of his 5,000 people were left without death, which can be said to be a narrow victory. After Qin Forget rewarded him and his men, he accompanied Zhang Ye to his Chinese army tent.
"There are no weak soldiers under a strong general, but General Qin has opened the eyes of Ben Shuai." Zhang Ye, who was sitting at the top of the house, looked at Qin Forget and said with a smile, "Go back and send someone to study hard with you, don't hide your secrets." ”
"Where, it's just Erlang's life." Qin Forget said modestly, "Although Zhang Shuai sent someone over, the last general feels that he knows everything and says everything. ”
"Okay, knowing that you are a good person, Ben Shuai will not hide it." Zhang Ye's face suddenly straightened, "Last night, Your Majesty summoned Ben Shuai and Lord Yu Zhengyu, and Your Majesty made it clear that in three months, he will do something to the family. ”
"What? Do it to the Maison! Qin Forget was taken aback, "Do it at this time?" How? ”
"Don't be nervous, it's Ben Shuai who didn't make it clear." Seeing Qin Wang's anxious look, Zhang Ye knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, "Your Majesty didn't plan to make a big move, Your Majesty has already seen the results of the graded taxation you talked about last time, and he plans to do it in three months." ”
"That's right." Qin Wang's heart relaxed, "Then it's okay to say, Your Majesty is worried that those families will resist after the official implementation of the graded tax?" ”
"Yes, this move is too ruthless, directly slashing at the lifeblood of the family, can they not resist? Therefore, the four towns of Youzhou and these 30,000 cavalry must form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. The current Dayan, Wen and Li respectively control 100,000 border troops and local town troops, if Your Majesty can completely control these 70,000 or 80,000 Youzhou soldiers and horses, then Dayan will form a three-legged situation, how much benefit to Your Majesty, you should be clear. ”
"Yes, the last general understands and will work hard." Thinking that three months was enough, Qin Forget nodded and said, "I don't know who Your Majesty plans to make."
What about tiered taxation? Yu-sama? ”
"Clever, it's old Yu." Zhang Ye praised, "You also know his temperament, the black-faced imperial history and cold-blooded ruthlessness are not called in vain." With him presiding over the grading of taxation, the interests of His Majesty can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. In addition, His Majesty will also use a large number of officials in the middle, Qin Wang, I have to thank you for this, otherwise they would not be today, including Ben Shuai. After saying this, a trace of gratitude flashed in Zhang Ye's eyes.
"Zhang Shuai is serious, and the last general is just telling the truth." Qin Forget smiled, "Your Majesty is still wise, if you really do this, then there will not be many good days for Wen and Li." ”
"This matter, so far only Ben Shuai, Lord Yu and you know, His Majesty the Emperor's trust in you can be seen, Qin Wang, you should know how to do it." After speaking, Zhang Ye looked at Qin Forget meaningfully.
"Zhang Shuai rest assured, the last general will know what to do." Knowing that Zhang Ye, Yu Zheng and the others didn't believe enough in him, Qin Forget said calmly.
The mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and Qin Forget kept hesitating in the big tent, thinking carefully about countermeasures.
Once the tiered taxation is introduced, it will definitely arouse the joint opposition of the major families. At that time, it would be best if Cao Ziwen had enough strength to suppress them, but once Cao Ziwen couldn't bear the pressure, the three of Zhang Ye, Yu Zheng and him would definitely be thrown out of the top cylinder. Qin Wu naturally didn't want to be a scapegoat, he definitely had to do something.
"Luo Zhong." He shouted under his breath.
"The subordinates are here." Luo Zhong walked out quietly from the innermost part of the big tent, "What does the general command?" ”
"Three things, the first thing, five more troops on Montenegro. Now Dongying is no longer a problem, Xue Zangfeng and Ding Chen's 20,000 troops have also arrived, and the next battle is a foot battle, the Fire Dragon King is on the line, call Liu Jian back, and let him personally lead the 10,000 sailors. The second thing is to send more people to Youzhou, the more the better, and in addition, transport some of the hive arrows developed by Jin Xu to use them at critical moments. ”
"The general is worried about the general's safety?" This is the first time that Qin Forget has asked for more manpower in the Youzhou area, and Luo Zhong realized that something big must be happening, "Do you want the general to be ready to retreat at any time?" ”
"I haven't been able to leave lately." Qin Forget shook his head, "But if it's well arranged, maybe it will be useful." The third thing is to tell Dong Zhuang to always be ready for battle, and the war does not know when it will break out. ”
"By the way, General, General Liu just sent a letter yesterday, how to use the silver mined in the Dongying Silver Mine. Is it to be escorted directly to the Akagi Treasury or ......?"
"They want to keep it for themselves, right?" Qin Forget smiled slightly, and suddenly turned pale again, "Send an order to General Liu, allowing them to leave three months' salary, and the rest of the extra cents will be sent to the Chicheng Arsenal." If there is any other need, let them report to the Akagi headquarters, and the headquarters will send them. ”
"Is the general afraid?" Luo Zhong's face changed, and he heard Qin Wang's words.
"Luo Zhong, you remember, throughout the ages, once the army raises its own food and salary, it is not far from self-reliance, it's not that I don't believe in General Liu and the Fire Dragon King, but I, Chicheng, must not set this precedent, otherwise it will be difficult to pierce the opening. Also, didn't you Mingyue Hall send a lot of people to support the two generals to exterminate the Dongying people? Let them not just know how to kill the enemy. ”
"Yes, subordinates know what to do." With Qin Wang's clear instructions, Luo Zhong knew what to do.
