Chapter 0585: The Ambition of All the Soldiers
Next.
The sky is clear.
After the baptism of a majestic rain yesterday, Fuxing Fucheng is full of fresh breath.
On the street leading to the palace, the people gathered together and talked about the scene in the cave of the city gate yesterday.
For the real control of this Fuxing Mansion, the people want to explore him, hoping to get closer to him.
Fuxing Mansion City was snatched back from the Liao people by Yang Qi, so in the hearts of the people of Fuxing Mansion, Yang Qi is their king.
As for Zhao Guangyi, the titular ruler who nested high in Bianjing City, they didn't care at all.
Yang Qi's interesting story is one of the most talked about entertainment programs by the people.
Every story about Yang Qi, after it comes out of their mouths, it will always have some mythological colors.
In a northbound carriage, Du Jin'e listened attentively to the discussion of the people outside the carriage, and said with a smile to Yang Qi, who was closing his eyes and recuperating in the carriage: "Don't you listen, your prestige in the hearts of the people is about to catch up with the old immortal Chen Tuan in Huashan." ”
Last night, Yang Qi rested in Du Mansion.
The house in Du Mansion was allocated by Yang Qi, and it was newly built not long ago, which was a bit trendy.
Coupled with some rain yesterday, the humidity is even better.
So Yang Qi didn't sleep well, he was making up for sleep in the carriage at this time, and when he heard Du Jin'e's words, Yang Qi opened his eyes and said angrily: "I, Yang Yansi, am now a tyrant in the northwest, why do you want to compare with a Taoist priest, aren't you shuddering me." ”
Du Jin'e covered her mouth and snickered, only in front of Yang Qi would she reveal the posture of her little daughter.
Yang Qi grabbed Du Jin'e's hand, took advantage of the situation, and hugged Du Jin'e in his arms.
Smelling the fragrance on Du Jin'e's body, Yang Qi closed his eyes again to recuperate.
Du Jin'e seemed to be used to being hugged by Yang Qi, she shrunk into Yang Qi's arms, and said in a low voice: "The people in the city know that you have arrived at Fuxing Mansion, and everyone is looking forward to seeing you, what are your plans?" ”
Yang Qi closed his eyes and said softly, "It's better to be in the limelight." This time, I have important things to do when I go to Fuxing Mansion. ”
Du Jin'e turned sideways, let herself lie comfortably, and said, "Just to see that Kou Zhun?" ”
Yang Qi opened his eyes and scolded: "Fart, just by his permission, it's not worth my personal visit." This time I went to Fuxing Mansion for the sake of military service, and I needed to hold a meeting in the Fuxing Military Academy, and we would discuss a result together. ”
Du Jin'e was puzzled: "Then shouldn't you go to the Revival Martial Academy?" What to do in Khao Fu? ”
Yang Qi said frustratedly: "I told Kou Zhun a little secret before, and I scared Kou Zhun all of a sudden. I'll go see if he's dead. ”
Du Jin'e smiled and said, "The concubine looks at you and is quite interested in that Kou Zhun." ”
The carriage traveled north, crossed three streets, and arrived at the entrance of the Koufu.
After asking the porter, Kou Zhun was on a business trip at this time, and he was not in the mansion, so Yang Qi ordered someone to drive a carriage to the Fuxing Mansion.
Kou Zhun originally lived in Yamen, but since Yang Qi sent someone to take Kou Zhun's family to Fuxing Mansion, he asked Yang Qi for a house, and the family lived in it.
When Yang Qi arrived at the gate of the yamen, he saw many officials rushing to the yamen.
Yang Qi took a closer look and understood that these officials were all transferred by Kou Zhun from the two governments.
Yang Qi was not in the mood to deal with a group of Erwuzai, so he ordered Peng Pai to lead the way and drive to the Fuxing Martial Academy.
The Fuxing Martial Arts Academy is active in battle, and it is the second university in the territory of the two prefectures, and with its particularity, it is naturally impossible to arrange it in the city.
The Fuxing Martial Arts Academy is three miles outside the East City Gate.
The architectural style is very military, and from the outside, it looks like a huge fortress.
The perimeter was heavily guarded.
When Yang Qi arrived at the door, he just in time for Mu Yu to return from practicing outside with a group of new students.
Seeing Yang Qi, Mu Yu left behind the students as if he had seen a ghost, and hurried into the martial arts academy.
Yang Qi asked Du Jin'e with some puzzlement, "What does he mean by this?" ”
Du Jin'e covered her mouth and snickered: "Brother Mu is in a hurry to go back to hide his daughter, he is afraid that his daughter will be abducted by you again." ”
Yang Qi said with some tears and laughter: "Am I so terrifying? ”
Du Jin'e smiled and nodded.
After two checks, Yang Qi entered the Fuxing Martial Arts Courtyard.
The layout of the martial arts courtyard is very rough, except for the simple dormitory, canteen, and classroom, the rest of the place is a training ground.
On the major training grounds, there are many students who are driven to train.
Compared with the embarrassment of Datong Academy, the Fuxing Martial Academy seems to be very prosperous.
The number of students in Datong Academy has not yet reached 100, but the number of students in the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy is about to exceed 300.
When Yang Qi arrived at the Fuxing Martial Academy, someone naturally went to inform Yang Hong.
When Yang Qi arrived at the martial arts arena, Yang Hong appeared in front of Yang Qi.
"Shichiro, you're here."
Yang Hong politely paused for a moment, then pointed to the students on the training ground, and said, "Look, how are the sons and daughters we trained?" ”
Yang Qi had already roughly read the subjects trained by the students on the training ground, and when he heard Yang Hong's question, he nodded with a smile.
Although he only watched it roughly, Yang Qi could also see that the students in the entire training ground did not focus on personal bravery, but on the basis of personal bravery, more on the art of war and strategy.
For example, the most eye-catching confrontation in the field.
Each time, the forces of the opposing sides are different, more or less.
Students must learn how to win more than they can through their own judgment.
The side with a large number of people will try to use the power in their hands to the extreme.
In this confrontation, the students can better use their brains.
The students trained in this way will not become pedantic.
Yang Hong led Yang Qi around the martial arts arena, and each training item gave Yang Qi a thorough explanation.
Then, Yang Hong took Yang Qi to the classroom again.
I took a tour of the teaching in the classroom in the martial arts academy.
There are many teachings in the classroom, such as writing, art of war and strategy, military training, overall planning, map reading, and so on.
The method of commanding troops is not limited to the art of war, but also the methods of training, coordinating the consumption of food, and identifying maps, all of which are indispensable in the method of commanding troops.
At the end of the visit, Yang Hong took Yang Qi to a secret room.
In the house, there is a precise map of the northwest.
Yang Hong arrogantly pointed to the map and said to Yang Qi: "Have you seen it?" The map of the northwest, where there are mountains and where there are rivers, is particularly clearly marked. I believe that even in the Great Song Dynasty or the Liao Kingdom, there would not be such a detailed map.
This is what we have done after reviving the Martial Academy, which took us more than half a year to unify all the previous maps and our field surveys. ”
Yang Qi carefully looked at the map for a while and found that what Yang Hong said was indeed true.
The complex map in front of him can be said to be the most detailed map that Yang Qi has ever seen in this era.
It's just that, compared to the maps of later generations, this map still seems to be a little revealed.
Yang Qi stared at the map and muttered, "Uncle Hong, have you ever thought about making the map more fine, and then making a sand table on the basis of the map." ”
"Sandbox?"
"It's a miniaturized model."
Yang Qi's sketching skills were passable, so he casually picked up a blank piece of paper and wrote and drew on it.
Half an hour later, a model diagram appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Yang Qi pointed to the drawings and said with a smile: "To put it simply, the terrain of the northwest is reduced according to a certain scale, and then presented, so that people can understand the terrain of the northwest more intuitively." ”
Yang Hong took the model drawn by Yang Qi and said in surprise: "Can it still be like this?" ”
"This method is really feasible, as long as it can be realized, we can teach students in the future, even if we don't need to take them out, we can let them understand the terrain more intuitively.
After all, there is a big gap between oral description of the terrain and intuitive observation. ”
Mu Yu didn't know when he arrived here, he looked at the model drawn by Yang Qi and sighed.
Yang Qi squinted at Mu Yu and asked, "What about Xiao Guiying?" ”
When Mu Yu heard this, his face turned dark, and he couldn't wait to strangle Yang Qi to death.
He said angrily: "I was busy with business all day and didn't have time to take care of Gui Ying, so I sent her to Du Mansion." ”
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly surprised: "It shouldn't be, I stayed in Du Mansion last night." ”
The lie was exposed, and Mu Yu said without blushing and without a heartbeat: "That's really not a coincidence." Yesterday I hunted a wild boar, so I had Gui Ying brought over and opened the meat. ”
Yang Qi smiled and said, "Then you send someone to pick up Gui Ying and let me take a look." I haven't seen her for a few days, and I wonder if I miss that girl. ”
Mu Yu muttered angrily, "That's my daughter." ”
Du Jin'e pulled Yang Qi with tears and laughter, and said in a low voice: "Don't tease Brother Mu." ”
Yang Qi nodded and no longer paid attention to Mu Yu.
Once again, everyone's eyes were focused on the model.
It takes quite a few craftsmen to make a model.
Yang Qixiu wrote a letter and asked Peng Pai to take it to the Fuxing Mansion to find Kou Zhun to mobilize a group of craftsmen over.
By the way, let Peng Pai invite Kou Zhun to come and sit down.
I was in a hurry to make the model, so I stayed in the room full of maps for a while.
Yang Hong took Yang Qi to the dining hall and simply ate a meal.
Yang Hong led Yang Qi to a large house in the Fuxing Martial Academy.
The furnishings in the house are very modern, with a large round table and a circle of chairs.
This is a conference room specially set up by the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy in accordance with Yang Qi's requirements.
Basically, in the government offices of the two prefectures, there is such a conference room.
After arriving at the conference room and sitting down, Yang Honghu said suspiciously: "Qilang, do you really want to set the number of years of service for the soldiers and horses under your command?" ”
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the army had begun to be professionalized, and many soldiers basically lived by being soldiers.
There are even people who have been soldiers for generations.
Yang Qi set the number of years of service for the soldiers and horses under his command, and his thinking was indeed a little ahead of his time.
After all, before Yang Qi made this suggestion, there were only two types of service systems for soldiers and horses, one was the most common government soldier system before the Five Dynasties.
The army gathered together during the war, and went home to farm with swords and armor on his back in his spare time.
The other is a professional soldier, which basically stays in the soldier for the rest of his life until he dies.
As Yang Qi proposed, setting the number of years of service for all soldiers, this is a system that has never existed.
When a new system emerges, the first thing everyone considers is its harmfulness.
No one can say for sure how harmful this kind of unconventional system is, so no one dares to say anything about it.
After all, the strength of the two governments is still very weak, and once the service system is changed, it is easy to produce some unpredictable changes.
With the current state of the two prefectures, they can't stand the toss.
Yang Hong disagreed with the change in his heart.
When Yang Qi decided to change the length of service of the soldiers and horses, he had already sent someone to inform the people he wanted to see.
The rules of the system, he also showed them by the act of letters.
In the face of Yang Hong's question, Yang Qi seemed to have expected it.
Yang Qi nodded and said, "Yes, not only must the number of years of service be set, but it is best to carry it out all the time." ”
Yang Hong frowned and said, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" Once the number of years of service is reached, you will face the problem of changing between the old and the new every year.
At that time, our strength will become very weak, and it will be easy for people to take advantage of it.
Moreover, those who are willing to be military pawns are removed from the army by you, and those who are not willing to be military pawns have to forcibly recruit people to serve in the army, and in doing so, it is easy to give birth to variables.
It's a mutiny.
With the current strength of our two governments, they can't withstand this kind of toss at all. ”
Yang Qi shook his head and said firmly: "This matter is imperative. Uncle Hong, you only see the harmful side, but you don't see the positive side. ”
Yang Qi paused and said, "I just have the opposite opinion from you. In my opinion, the length of military service is precisely the key to whether the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses under our command can reach the peak.
As soon as the military service system came out, it was no longer a terrible thing to be a soldier.
Instead, it will be seen as a kind of grinding.
Only those who have been tempered will become real warriors.
Secondly, the soldiers who have been trained by us can still retain their military status after they are discharged from the army.
When we are short of soldiers, we can always give a warning to them to join the army.
You can think of this as hiding soldiers from the people.
At present, we have a limited territory and a limited number of troops that can be supported.
I do this to maximize our strength. ”
Yang Qi said excitedly: "You can think about it, we currently have more than 130,000 soldiers and horses under our command. Five or six years later, we still have just over 130,000 soldiers and horses.
However, according to the system of years of military service that I mentioned, after five or six years, once there is a war.
We can pull up more than 200,000 soldiers and horses anytime and anywhere.
And these soldiers and horses don't need us to work hard to hone them.
Because they have gone through the initial rigorous training, they know what it means to be a soldier.
It can be said that you can hit it by pulling it out.
And the longer it goes, the more soldiers and horses we hide in the people.
When the day comes when all the people are soldiers, there will be no one to defeat us. ”
