"Jiao Wushuang, you fought with the spearmen of the Shu thieves in Guanzhong, how do you feel when you look at Du Yuankai's spearmen?"

In the end, it was an old colleague for many years, and Shi Bao was not annoyed when Chen Qian said things with his woman's face: "Of course I can't fight now, but there is no doubt that Du Yuankai's direction is correct." King Yiyang, what do you say? ”

Sima Wang, another big embezzler in the Jin Kingdom, suddenly aged too much this year. In the cold wind of winter, he did not care about the Han people's tradition of not wearing fur clothes on the outside, and his whole body was wrapped in a lot of fur fur in three layers and three layers outside. Even so, standing on the high viewing platform at this time, I still couldn't help but tremble.

Facing Shi Bao's question, Sima Wang's cloudy eyes flashed for a moment, and he nodded slowly: "Shi Gong is right, in time, this team of spearmen should be able to fight against the Shu thieves." After saying this, Sima Wang smiled at Xiao Suo: "As you can see, Wang is already a dying person." I can't see what the future holds. So, ladies and nephews, the future will depend on all of you. As for the scum who can't ride horses now, hehe, when the Shu thieves come, it's good not to drag you back. ”

Speaking of which, the famous generals of the Jin Kingdom are these two generations. Sima Wang, Shi Bao, Chen Qian and others are already dying, and the relatively young Du Pre, Ma Long, Yanghu, Wang Jun and others are also forty or fifty years old. is really in his early twenties, and now Meng Guan is alone.

As for the young people in Luoyang now, only a few of them can still ride horses. Others, do you think everyone is Du Yuankai, and he can win the battle by sitting in an ox cart?

Therefore, Sima Wang's words suddenly disappointed everyone, and everyone had no desire to speak.

The small talk on stage quickly stopped, and the off-stage drill continued.

With a dense sound of hooves in the school yard, the infantry had retreated. A detachment of cavalry drove in.

"Your Majesty, this is Weichen's newly formed cavalry. All the horsemen themselves were at least seven feet five inches tall. The war horses under the crotch were all transferred from the Youzhou grassland, and the shoulder height was not less than six feet five inches. All horses are equipped with stirrups. ”

"Good, but I've heard that the cavalry of the Shu thieves abandoned their spears and used sabers after they were equipped with stirrups. But I see how Du Qing's cavalry still has spears? ”

"Hehehe, Your Majesty's eyesight is outstanding. That's right, Your Majesty. After the observation of the ministers in recent months, it was found that if the light cavalry fought each other, the saber would be more effective. But if you want to break the formation with cavalry, the first choice is the spear. And now the cavalryman's spear was modified, with a cut in the middle of the handle. In this way, the cavalryman's spear will automatically break when it pierces the target. In this way, the cavalry itself will not be damaged. And after the cavalry discarded the rear handle, they can immediately draw their sabers for hand-to-hand combat! ”

As if to confirm what Du said. At this time, more than 100 cavalry on the school field, holding their spears high, lined up in a neat line of attack, urged the war horses under their crotches in unison, and quickly approached the more than 100 straw men set up at the other end of the school field. Then the cavalrymen let out a shout and stabbed their spears in unison. After that, a "snap" sound was heard, and more than 100 spears broke almost simultaneously, but the tip of the spear remained neatly in the straw man's body.

Not only that, but as the horse continued to advance, the knight on the horse quickly drew his saber and turned his back to slash at the straw man who had just fallen behind him. In a few moments, more than 100 straw figures have left different degrees of knife marks on their bodies. There are even a few straw men whose heads have been neatly cut off.

"Good!" At this time, on the viewing platform, Sima Wang, Shi Bao, Chen Qian and others all let out a cheer. Only a general like them, who is old in battle, will understand how difficult it is to accurately and quickly cut off the opponent's head at the moment when the men and horses are staggered.

Hearing the sound from the viewing platform, Sima Yan's mood was slightly better: "Du Qing, I will call those warriors who cut off the heads of straw men later, and I will personally reward them." ”

"Your Majesty obeys the order, thank you for your compassion for the soldiers."

In the end, it is a very expensive class, so the display of cavalry is small and fast. After the cavalry exited, the ranged classes followed: archers and crossbowmen.

"Your Majesty, my long-range shooting before the Great Jin Dynasty mainly relied on archers. But Xishu is different from us, mainly crossbowmen. ”

"This, what's the difference?"

"Your Majesty, the archers have a long range, the arrows of the bow and arrow are curved, and when the two armies are engaged, the infantry is in front, and the archers can continue to shoot together. These are the advantages of archers. Crossbowmen, on the other hand, are powerful, have a long duration of fire, and have a large output. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. But the most worrying thing is that it takes much less time to train a crossbowman than it does to train an archer. Therefore, under the current situation that the Chinese army is rebuilding and urgently needs to form combat strength. The ratio of the bow and crossbow to the minister is three or seven open, the archer is thirty percent, and the crossbow soldier is seventy percent. ”

"Hehehe, I don't know the soldiers. How specific, Du Qing will judge for himself. But I thought, what is it, wouldn't it be nice to put it to the test in actual combat when the time comes? ”

Your Majesty's words are true. The minister deliberately reduced the number of standing troops of the Youji Corps, that is, after preparing for the general appearance of the Luoyang New Army, he was pulled to the north in batches to find the Xianbei people there to practice. In this way, it is constantly improved in actual combat. Prepare for the final defeat of the Shu thieves. ”

"Great goodness! Du Qing rest assured that although the country has suffered this catastrophe. But money and food, I will definitely not lose a grain of you. Do it well, I hope that in the near future, this tiger and wolf division can dominate the world for my Dajin! ”

"If you dare not do your best, you will die!"

The traditional picture of the monarch and the minister getting along is being staged here, and the time goes by, especially after the army participates in the traffic. The princes and ministers finally arrived at the school one after another.

At this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and more than five hours had passed since the noon time requested by Sima Yan......

He glanced coldly at the viewing platform that was starting to become lively. The corners of Sima Yan's mouth twitched slightly: "Left and right, pass the decree." ”

"Your Majesty's will."

"1. Those who performed well in the drill just now, bring them on stage, and I will personally commend them. Second, after the commendation here, the soldiers returned to the camp and told everyone that they had a hard day. Tonight's food, meat, and wine. The money and food needed will come from my Shaofu. 3. After the commendation is over, the thirteen ministers who arrived here before noon can go back. The rest of the people are left in place! ”

"Yes."

Sima Yan's will was quickly carried out, and the soldiers who were brought to the general platform and received by the emperor were all trembling with excitement, and everyone almost roared in front of Sima Yan to express their loyalty. And the other soldiers who were stimulated by the treatment of these comrades, when they heard that the Lord Banzai actually paid out of his own pocket to invite everyone to drink wine and eat meat, they all knelt on their knees and shouted excitedly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Then the soldiers went to drink and eat meat enthusiastically, leaving only the late princes and ministers shivering in the cold winter wind on the towering viewing platform.

In this era, ordinary people basically eat two meals a day. But the elite have long since started the three-meal-a-day system. So it was just right for the soldiers to go to dinner at this time, and the princes and ministers were miserable at this time: they didn't eat at noon!

As the saying goes: hunger and cold. If you don't have anything in your stomach during such a winter, it's useless no matter how much you wear.

On the stage, there are naturally cooks who send steaming food to serve Sima Yan's father and son, Du Pre and other Chinese generals. On the viewing platform next to it, a group of princes and ministers really experienced the sourness of hunger and cold that they hadn't experienced for a long time, no, maybe they had never experienced in their lifetime.

After eating slowly, someone brought hot water to wash his hands. After all this was done, it was almost halfway through the unitary hour, and the sun began to sink in the west.

"Call the group of latecomers to the council hall near the school grounds. Hey, let's get a few more braziers. Otherwise, those old guys are okay, those boys, I'm afraid they won't freeze to death. ”

It should be said that what kind of ghost his minister and his children are, in fact, Sima Yan knows it in his heart. In the past, when I was the only one in the world, Sima Yan didn't care much about this matter: celebrity demeanor. But today, he was really disgusted by it like never before.

As expected, when the princes and ministers on the viewing platform entered the council hall, some people rushed to the brazier without regard for etiquette and demeanor, and some people couldn't walk, and they were carried down by the soldiers of the Chinese army!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have heard of it, a few months ago, when Guan Zifeng and Jiang Boyu, the thieves and thieves of Shu, sent a letter to their puppet emperor asking to move the capital. once said, 'The king dies, and the Son of Heaven guards the country'. I think this sentence is extremely well said! Ladies and gentlemen, today's Luoyang is no longer in the middle of the world, but has become a border!

It's not that there are no ministers who have written to me to suggest moving the capital. But I thought that since even a faint monarch like Liu Chan could go to Chang'an to guard the border in person, how could I abandon Luoyang and leave? Therefore, some time ago, when I discussed moving the capital, I stayed in the middle of the city, which is what it means. I hope you don't mention moving the capital again in the future.

Since I don't move the capital to the Great Jin, then Luoyang is the border. The border should be like the border. At the very least, it is necessary to wait for the country, and if the country has something, it must be done as soon as it hears the move.

Today's things are what I did on purpose. It is to see if you have such a sense of distress. The result, hey, what a disappointment for me! I won't talk about other things, and those who are late today will be fined for one year. If you are absent, you will be cut first! After such an emergency convocation, I will do it at any time! If there is a recidivism, the sin will be increased by one degree! Have you written it down? ”

What else can the gray-faced ministers say in the face of such a situation? "Your Majesty's orders!"

"Well, I'm here to inform you of a decision. Starting this year, the children of officials with more than 2,000 stones, especially the eldest son, must serve in the Chinese army! Follow the Chinese soldiers for training. Du Qing is specifically responsible for this matter! Du Qing, don't worry about this matter, if anyone dares not to cooperate, I will clean them up. After the children of each family come, all kinds of stubborn people, you should fight and kill! Anything happens, I'll take it for you! ”
