Chapter 321: Bondage
The scene is complicated, and the camps will act separately, each choosing the soldiers and horses that meet their hearts.
Jiang Wei and the other four people interspersed left and right among the three thousand soldiers with different expressions, and when they met the one they liked, they directly pulled them away.
There were also many strong men among the children of the peasant families, and they were considered the most popular type of soldiers, so they almost clashed with the soldiers of his battalion several times.
Finally, Huo Yi and Zhao Guang are the descendants of Yuan Cong, and Zhao Guang is the son of Zhao Yun.
It took a whole afternoon of hard work, and when the drums stopped, more than 800 dark-skinned and honest-looking men were finally selected from among the 3,000 candidates to return to their lives.
After the assembly, Jiang Wei looked around, but saw that the expressions of these horses were either apprehensive or deferential, but without exception, their bodies all exuded a local flavor naturally formed by years of hard work.
He knew very well that these rural villagers were stupid and sluggish, afraid of official uniforms, afraid of laws and regulations, unable to see clearly the power tricks used by the officials, honest and reliable, easy to be moved, and the hatred and morale of the enemy in wartime could be easily aroused.
In other words, these people are easy to obey the dictates of their commanders and serve loyally, and they are a type of soldier who can easily be trained.
Han system, 500 per song, set the length of the song, and the second song is the part. In just two hours, everyone picked out a piece that could be used to train soldiers, which was also lucky.
While pondering, a tough veteran personally led a group of soldiers escorting heavy baggage to approach, and it was Zhao Yun, the general of the Yi army.
Jiang Wei, Huo Yi, and Zhao Guang saw it from afar, and hurriedly bowed down and hugged their fists to greet them; Zhang Wei learned that the person who came was the famous Changshan Zhao Zilong, and he also hurriedly visited him.
While saluting, Zhao Yun's gaze gently swept over the group of honest farmers, and he suddenly frowned and asked:
"The formation of the new army, today I specially asked you to give priority to selection, why did you only select less than a thousand people in half a day?"
Jiang Wei hugged his fists and said: "The soldiers are expensive, but not too expensive." ”
Zhao Yun heard this, his face softened slightly, and he looked at the group of farmers carefully, and after a long time, he finally nodded lightly.
"I do have some eye for selection."
After a pause, he pointed to a row of baggage behind him again, stroked his beard and said: "Here is half a month's ration for a thousand soldiers, and the military supplies of the military revolution will be delivered half a month later. ”
******
On the way back, the group of soldiers behaved very docilely, and they did not need to be assigned by the superiors, and they consciously pushed the vehicle equipped with baggage.
Of course, there are only more than 30 cars, and more than 100 people push it is enough.
As a result, the soldiers who received the errand were satisfied, and the rest of the soldiers who did not receive the errand followed closely with apprehension on their faces.
In the hearts of these honest farmers, it is shameful to be lazy, and they still want to do their part, so that they can do their duty.
Not far away, Zhang Wei, Huo Yi, and Zhao Guang were cruising around on horseback, exploring the road and escorting them.
Looking at the slightly chaotic but vibrant scene in front of him, Jiang Wei, who was pressing the formation in the rear of the brigade, couldn't help but be complacent and full of spirit.
This is a team of soldiers who are like a blank sheet of paper, natural and beautiful, unadorned.
He firmly believes that under the tutelage of his cross-era thinking, they will be able to surpass all the troops of this era in the future and become a mighty army that will win battles and conquer battles.
******
When the brigade rushed back to the camp, Jiang Wen, who stayed behind, prepared sufficient food early for the soldiers who came from afar.
The group of soldiers walked silently all the way, even when they were hungry, and it was not until the meal was served that a burst of cheers erupted.
Since Liu Bei entered Shu, there have been major wars in Yizhou every year, so the limited resources in the territory have gradually tilted to the supply of the army.
In order to show welcome, tonight's dinner is white rice, pickles, and everyone can also get a piece of meat and a small piece of vinegar cloth.
In Huo Yi and Zhao Guang's view, these are not good foods; But in the eyes of the soldiers, these are already rare delicacies, so they all pick up the big bowl in their hands and stuffy their heads to pick up the rice.
For a while, only the crisp sound of the dishes and chopsticks touching the tent was endless.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, brothers, just eat with your belly open, and the food is enough!" ”
His words naturally caused a burst of cheers in the tent, and the dullness on the road was swept away.
By the time dinner was over, the night was getting darker.
As is customary, these soldiers should be arranged to rest and begin their training tomorrow.
Who knew that Jiang Wei first recruited Jiang Wen, gave a few words in his ear, and waited until Jiang Wen left for a small meal, then got up and shouted:
"Have you eaten enough? When you're full, gather at the school grounds! ”
When Huo Yi and Zhao Guang heard the order, they hurriedly got up and beckoned the soldiers to march towards the school field. Led by the two of them, the crowd poured out like water, but in a few moments, the tent was empty.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei was about to pull out his foot, when a figure suddenly flashed out of the oblique thorn, pulling him tightly, and when he turned his eyes, it was Zhang Wei.
But seeing Zhang Wei's curious face, he asked: "General, you gathered the soldiers so late, but you don't know what's going on?" ”
Jiang Wei said without thinking: "Shu Wu! ”
"Shuwu?"
When Zhang Wei heard this, his face was even more surprised.
He served as a junior official in the county back then, and he was also in charge of the military of a county, and he knew quite well that the establishment of the army was a prerequisite for military training.
However, in his impression, it is an extremely cumbersome matter to set up a military system, and without three or five days of hard work, the generals at the top level will not be able to be familiar with the soldiers at all, and they will not be familiar with the soldiers, and they will not be able to call people's names, so how easy is it to talk about the matter of binding the army?
Zhang Wei only said that Jiang Wei was young and knowledgeable, did not understand the art of war, and had the heart to admonish, but he was worried about hurting the face of his boss, so he thought about it for a while and muttered:
"And today is dark, and it is not easy to identify, why doesn't the general order the soldiers to rest for a night, and wait until dawn tomorrow to carry out the method of sorting and binding?"
Jiang Wei heard this, suddenly turned around, and said with a smile:
"Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Governing the crowd is like governing the widow, and the score is also. Those who score are also the outline of the army; Those who are bound are also the eyes of the score. Once the army is tied, the system will be self-contained, and the first will be caught off guard. ”
After a pause, he added: "The soldiers under this general will first be organized, and then disciplined, and in the future, whether they eat, sleep, train, fight, or even take a bath and go to the toilet, they must follow the system and obey discipline...... So before going to bed today, the army must be initially restrained, this is my Jiang Wei's method of training, Bo Qi has no more words, and he will cooperate wholeheartedly. ”
With that, he lifted the curtains, lifted his feet and walked in the direction of the school.
Zhang Wei was skeptical in his heart, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Seeing Jiang Wei's tall figure gradually disappearing into the twilight, he didn't hesitate any longer, suddenly paused, gritted his teeth and said:
"The general is the first to be powerful...... Since I have appointed this person as the main general, even if I have no sleep tonight, I have to wish him a helping hand and try to complete the binding as much as possible, so as not to hurt the majesty of the main general! ”
