Chapter 757: The Essentials of the Three Armies
(Thank you Brother Dashan and Brother Y for the valuable monthly passes, is Brother Dashan in the group?) )
In Liu Yi's heart, Gao Shun and Gao Jingfang are generals who can be compared with Cao Ying's five sons, and they are very similar to Yu Banle Jin, although the martial arts are not top-notch, they are long in the army, especially good at tackling tough problems, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road jointly discussed Dong, in addition to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Liu Yi was most impressed by Gao Shun's 800 camps, that is, among the generals of the Yan Army today, Gao Shun also belongs to the first group, and can be ranked with Wenyuan Gongming Junyi!
The Liaodong Army's garrison in Hejian County is also used in the method of five plum blossoms, this formation is the most used when the infantry army is encamped, and its advantage is that the formation is stable and extends in all directions, and a little attack can come to the aid of the four directions! Of course, the big formation is not much different, but the details of the use of each ingenious, this way of camping is a necessary knowledge as a general, Gao Shun is good at this way, looking at its ranks of the camp base neat and staggered, the military columns come and go unimpeded, and there is a confusing effect between the twists and turns, if you are not familiar with this formation, once you enter but get lost.
The most important thing in the way of encampment is the safety of the grain and straw, which is generally located in the middle army or the rear, and changes according to the specific situation. According to the habit of Gao Shun's camp, the grain is very close to his handsome tent, and the guards are extremely strict, that is, in the training of the army, the daily distribution of grain and straw each battalion must be completed through a special person and a special token, such a token in the Liaodong Army has a total of seven sets, each time the war will be temporarily determined, or three days or five days to change, this is to minimize the possibility of being attacked by the grain, and each set of tokens will have a corresponding code!
At this time, the Liaodong Army was stationed in Jizhou, and there was nothing unusual on the tent of the grain depot, and when the war started, Gao Shun would order someone to smear the wet mud on the grain depot! Generally speaking, if you want to attack the grain, you must use fire, otherwise it is difficult to destroy the grain straw that pushes the mountain, the biggest purpose of Gao Shun's move is to prevent fire, Liu Yi also appreciated it when he saw it, although it took a lot of effort for the soldiers, but it was obviously worth doing it for the safety of the grain and grass, and now this experience has been popularized among the Yan army, and even became an unwritten norm, which must be used for camping!
The exchange between the generals of the Yan Army is not only martial arts, but also the way of the generals is the key, which is also what Liu Yi took the lead in advocating. Through mutual learning and learning, the combat strength of each army can be further enhanced, and the ability of the leading forces of all people can be perfected, of course, how to implement it depends on the arrangements of the commanders of each army.
Gao Shun led the king of Yan to inspect the battalions, the first place is the place of grain, outside the garrison of the Liaodong Army, there is a large piece of fertile land as its military camp, all the soldiers are divided into two shifts every day, one class of drills, one class of farming, and with the change of seasons in the number of people will also be adjusted, this is the rule that Liu Yi set when he was in Yan County, each army should be self-sufficient under the condition of ensuring excellent drills! Today's China can definitely be called a vast and sparsely populated area compared with later generations, that is, the most populous Youzhou is only five million people at this time, if it is only a large and medium-sized city population in later generations, each army can reclaim a lot of fertile land for military use, and most of the soldiers at this time are from farmers, which also makes this matter easier.
Once the war starts, the military tun of each army will be handed over to the people to take care of, and the neighboring counties and townships will also share part of the responsibilities, it is now the beginning of August, the crops in the military tun of Liaodong are growing very gratifying, in fact, they have also been affected by the heavy rain to a certain extent, but the amount of rain is not as good as everywhere in the disaster area, and secondly, these military tuns will have people from the water conservancy department to plan the irrigation and drainage method in detail when they are reclaimed, at present, such work can only be used in the military tun, Liu Yi is also trying to introduce it into the people, but the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, The road must be taken step by step, step by step for a long time.
In the grain and straw of the Liaodong battalion, those warehouses are mostly semi-permanent, where the grain and grass can be eaten by the sergeants and soldiers for half a year, and the moisture-proof and mildew-proof nature has received great attention, and the materials used in the warehouse are set up by the agricultural department of the agricultural department, and the science and technology are not only reflected in the strengthening of the arms and armaments, but also the key research part! In addition to managing agricultural tools and tools in various places, the former should carefully study how to better improve the yield and find fertile land that can be cultivated everywhere, while the latter is studying how to save labor through sophisticated equipment, improve the efficiency of farming, and the work of the water conservancy department, the three are headed by the agricultural department to form the core of agriculture in Youzhou!
At this time, there are also officials of the agricultural department in the grain department, such inspections are once a month, the military food is related to the morale of the army, and it cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness, its quality must be strictly supervised, once there is deterioration and damage due to the poor management of the army, the commander of the army must bear the brunt of accountability, of course, in order to ensure that the generals in the army can use their main energy on the military, there will be professionals around them to take care of this matter, these people have military positions, and there are local official positions, and only in the Yan army will exist, Only those who have experience in both military and local areas can take responsibility!
With the gradual stabilization of Zhang Rong's transportation of slaves from the Japanese state, Liu Yi has planned to hand over the affairs of the military tun to them, so that the armies can concentrate more on the war, and the logistics can also be greatly guaranteed.
The military grain depot not only has a part of the ground but also has a huge cellar, his function is mainly to store all kinds of cured meat and dried meat, etc., the Yan army is not only the best in the world, but also the food, hard training for the physical consumption of the soldiers is extremely huge, how to ensure their nutrition so that it can reduce unnecessary loss in the drill is a science, which has formed a system within the Yan army after more than ten years of exploration and improvement!
For the Liaodong Army's military grain reserves and storage, Liu Yi personally inspected and was quite satisfied, the detailed rules formulated by the various departments have been well reflected here, and after the autumn harvest, not only the grain and grass collected by the army's military cantonment will be stored here, Tian Yu will also send a steady stream of grain, grass, meat and even poultry eggs to this place according to the wartime ration, in case of the needs of the war.
After the grain is the medical battalion, the Yan King has a habit that is known to all the soldiers of the Yan army, whenever after the war, but how fierce the battle is, how hard he will always inspect the wounded barracks at the first time, and the medical battalion as a pioneering work of Liu Yi has proved its great utility in actual combat, and now it is not only called the standard configuration of each army, even Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others also imitated this in the army, the existence of the medical battalion saved the lives of many soldiers who were bound to die, Many of them have returned to the battle formation to fight, even those who are disabled and discharged from the army can also play a great role in the training of the county and county soldiers, after their training of the county soldiers can save many aspects of basic training after entering the army, it is also a strong foundation for Liu Yi to prepare to implement the law of real reserves, even if those veterans of a hundred battles can no longer go to the battle array, their valuable experience is priceless, this is also one of the effects of the medical battalion!
Taking Gao Shun's Liaodong Army as an example, the medical battalion has a total of 36 military doctors, more than 700 female soldiers, in addition to more than 3,000 non-commissioned officers who are responsible for the safety of this battalion, once the Liaodong Army needs to disperse the battle, each battalion will have three doctors and 60 female soldiers to accompany them, and no matter which army, the medical battalion will always be the unit with the smallest loss, and the commanders of each army attach great importance to the safety of this battalion. This is extremely evident in the Tiger Guards in the Battle of Sizhou, the 30,000 horses in the fierce battle that day were almost disabled, but the damage to the medical battalion was only a few dozen!
The implementation of this regulation is not only a strict order of Liu Yi and the commanders of all armies, but also a great support of all the soldiers, as long as the medical battalion is there, their own life and that of their comrades can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the doctors and female soldiers in the battalion are also one of the most respected people in the hearts of the soldiers. These doctors are required to receive strict training in the official infirmary when they are not in the war, and their focus is also different from that of those county and township doctors, more of which is the treatment of external injuries and some basic surgical operations, and naturally all the doctors and female soldiers will also receive some basic military training to ensure that they have a certain ability to protect themselves on the battlefield.
If you ask where the veterans in each army are the most, the answer is undoubtedly the medical camp, and their treatment is also the highest in the whole army, there was no restriction on military service at that time, compared to the doctors, female soldiers have become Liu Yi's headache, with the gradual enrichment of all places, there are fewer and fewer women who are willing to enter the military camp, at this time, there are many female soldiers in the eight armies who have served in the army for more than eight years, which also makes Langsheng have to hit the idea on the women of the Japanese country!
Greedy for military rations in the army must be severely punished, and the maximum punishment can be determined according to the quantity! Not only will the flesh and skin suffer, but they will also be deprived of their military status, and the former military exploits will be eliminated together, it is precisely because of such strict regulations and the good treatment of the Yan army that such things are almost extinct in the army, and what is more severe than the greedy ink military food is the greedy ink medicinal materials, here Liu Yi is extremely firm, almost all of them are decided! The medical battalion's medicine storage guards are extremely strict, because these medicines can be equivalent to the lives of soldiers on the battlefield, and there is no exaggeration.
The women in the medical camp are naturally more heroic and calm and capable than usual, and they showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of King Yan, which made Liu Yi experience the feeling of not letting women shave their eyebrows, and the existence of these women also added an extremely beautiful scenery to the iron-clad military camp!
