Chapter 263: Military Competition
"There is a school in the state, you might as well set up a place in the barracks for generals to learn, the name is Yanwutang, you can choose the gentleman in the school to teach generals to read and write at night." Lu Budao.
When I first saw the so-called Yanwutang, the generals in the army were still more curious, but to make them literate, they were as big as a fight, but when imparting battlefield experience, these generals were extra attentive, compared to literacy, they felt that this was more useful, and the gentlemen in the school were often embarrassed in the Yanwutang, and were often embarrassed by the big bosses in these barracks.
After Lu Bu learned about it, an order was conveyed, and it was only then that he got better.
After the Xianbei captives came to Bingzhou, there was basically no time to rest, and their efforts were exchanged for cement roads in Bingzhou, and now the cement roads in Bingzhou have been built into two, one is from Jinyang to Huguan.
There is also a road from Jinyang to Yanmen Pass, which is also the longest road, this road is of great significance to the state, Xianbei people want to invade the territory of the state, it is necessary to break through the Yanmen Pass, after this road is repaired, from Jinyang to Yanmen Pass, the delivery speed of the army and materials will be faster.
At this time, the number of Jinyang's army reached 50,000, and the entire army of Bingzhou, compared with the number of troops in the hands of Lu Bu when he was in charge of Bingzhou, increased several times in number, and was able to feed so many troops, which had a lot to do with the caravan of Bingzhou, especially the profits of Jin paper and wine, enough to feed an army of 50,000 people, originally the profits of these two things were not so big, after Lu Bu divided the Chamber of Commerce in Jinyang and handed it over to Mi Zhu to take charge, the profits obtained were great. The Mi family was able to occupy a place in Xuzhou as a businessman, and its own energy was immeasurable, otherwise Liu Bei would not be so unwilling to let Mi Zhu follow Lu Bu away.
Lu Bu's life also became regular, in the morning in the state governor's mansion, in the afternoon in the military camp, occasionally to the craftsman's workshop.
The soldiers in the army have gradually become accustomed to these, and the recruits who joined the army before were indeed a lot more excited because of Lu Bu's appearance, especially when Lu Bu was training with them.
Half a month later, the state army launched a big competition, up to the generals, down to the ordinary soldiers, everyone has to participate, each department selects excellent soldiers, generals to participate in the big competition, the competition includes bow and arrow, running, horizontal bar, parallel bars, crossing obstacles, etc., to a certain extent, and the state soldier training project, and the army of later generations is very imaginary, but the era of cold weapons, more attention is paid to improving the strength of the body and the use of blades.
Such a big competition, in the state army is also the first time, the enthusiasm of generals and ordinary soldiers to participate is very high, the reward is enough for many people to be blushing, monetary rewards, the soldiers do not care, but for the promotion of official positions, it is eye-catching, the officers and soldiers in the army care most about the merit, only with merit, can they get ahead in the army of tens of thousands of people.
In order to show the importance of the battlefield competition, Lu Bu and the main officials of the state appeared on the school field.
Jia Xu and Guo Jia both understand that in the troubled times, the strength of the military is the most important, and they support the expansion of the army of the state, as long as the financial resources of the state can be maintained, in fact, if the army of the state cancels the salary of ordinary soldiers, it will definitely be able to support more troops, but it is this system that inspires soldiers.
Ordinary army, when the casualties exceed thirty percent, it is very likely that there will be desertion, as for the casualties of more than fifty percent, the army may be defeated, under the same circumstances, the state army will do better, they don't have to worry about what is behind them, even if they die in battle, their families will get due compensation, and their families will live better because of the honor they have obtained.
The soldier's competition is the hottest, but also the most touching, without him, in the state army, ordinary soldiers also have dreams, who doesn't want to be a general, which soldier doesn't want his family to live a better life, the treatment of generals in the army, is definitely worth every soldier's desperate efforts.
Besides, the soldiers in the Bingzhou army are not like those in the armies of other princes, they join the army, more voluntarily, willing to become a member of the Bingzhou army, and the forced conscription of the princes from the heart, compared with the two, the superior judgment, in the army, Lu Bu has the absolute right to speak, the army is the foundation of everything in the state, Lu Bu sees very clearly, and the military power must be firmly held in his hands.
Zhao Wu was a member of the people who came from Luoyang, although he entered the army for a short time, he experienced a lot of wars, when the Xiongnu were pacified, he was just an ordinary soldier in the new army of Bingzhou, because of the courage to fight when he crusaded against Guo Tai, he was promoted to the chief, and then emerged in Yanmen Pass, promoted to the commander of the tun, this time after following Lu Bu to fight in Youzhou, he was promoted to the military marquis, such a speed of promotion, even in the state army is rare.
In the state army, the military marquis has been able to have a certain right to speak, and what is advocated in the state army is that the generals in the army act after listening to the opinions of many parties, like the military marquis, who is in charge of 300 people, and his position in the army is more important.
The big competition, let Zhao Wu see the opportunity, ordinary soldiers think that Zhao Wu can improve so fast, because of luck, as everyone knows, he relies more on his own strength, Zhao Wu's father is a captain in the Luoyang Army, his own martial arts are not weak, he has followed his father to practice martial arts since he was a child, in the continuous battle, so that his martial arts have been made rapid progress, for this big competition, Chen Wu has been preparing for a long time, since the army released the news, there will be a big competition, he has been prepared, he wants to seize this opportunity.
In the Bingzhou Army, Chen Wu felt a different atmosphere, it was a completely different army from the Luoyang Army in his father's mouth, and he did not mention his background to others.
Twenty miles of weight-bearing long-distance running, is a more important subject in the army, such as the state army, although the cavalry is more than the princes, but can not do every soldier equipped with war horses, that kind of consumption is not the state can afford, so the infantry has become an indispensable main force.
This is also Zhao Wu's specialty, running with a weight for twenty miles, for ordinary soldiers, every time they come down, they are absolutely eager to live and die, and the minimum weight of each soldier has reached fifty catties.
There are also many soldiers who have the same idea as Zhao Wu, and they are also unwilling to be left behind, but all the soldiers who can be selected from the various departments are the best among the soldiers.
