Chapter 4 Qin Army

In the next few days, Fusu went to the Central Military Construction every day to learn more systematically about the production process and use characteristics of various weapons of the Qin army, and gradually gained a detailed and systematic understanding of the production of weapons of the Qin army. For this point, Fusu will never dare to be sloppy, after all, if he wants to be able to command the powerful Qin army in the future, he must have a deep understanding of them!

So, in a week or so, Fusu greatly expanded his horizons, and at the same time had some of his own views on the weapons industry of Qin, after all, he came from modern times, and there were many management methods and ideas that were far more advanced than ancient times.

A week later, Fusu decided to go to the army to have a look, after all, the Qin army had a lot of secrets annihilated in history for a long, long time, and it would be difficult to command this powerful army in the future by relying only on some extremely one-sided understanding of the previous life. However, it was a bit difficult to choose which army to choose.

The army of the Qin Dynasty was divided into three parts, namely the Beijing division soldiers, the county soldiers, and the border guards:

Jingshi soldiers, due to different tasks, are divided into three systems: the guard officers under the jurisdiction of Lang Zhongling, including Bei (money) selection, Yin Ren, and military merit special worship produced by Chuanzhong, Zhonglang, etc., have Yulu, mainly responsible for duty in the palace and from the emperor; The palace guards under the jurisdiction of the Governor are served by the elite guards of the county and county in turn, called the Tiger Guards, whose main duty is to guard the palace gates; The Kyoto Guards under the jurisdiction of the Guard Captain are the members of the Inner History District who take turns to serve and surrender, and their main duty is to protect the safety of the capital. In case of special circumstances, the Beijing Division will set up another garrison. Because the soldiers of the Beijing division master the security of the capital and the safety of the King of Qin, the soldiers of the three systems are very elite!

A county soldier refers to a soldier who takes turns to serve one year of military service in the local area. It is under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant. In peacetime, they are also in charge of local security, and in wartime, they are transferred to the army, and because of the different geographical environment, they are divided into three categories: officers (infantry), knights (cavalry), and building boats (naval troops). There are many knights in the plains, many officers in the mountains and hills, and many boatmen on the banks of the water and lakes. Some counties have both officers and knights. Since the county soldiers generally do not participate in the conquest and are only responsible for local security and public order, their combat effectiveness is average.

ξ—₯ ξ—₯Border guards, refers to border county knights, material officers, border county soldiers and border soldiers. The knight or officer of the border county is the chief soldier of the local military service. The troops are mobile combat units stationed in a centralized manner, commanded by generals sent by the imperial court, such as Meng Tian who led troops in Shangjun for a long time. The soldiers included the officials of the counties and the officials, merchants, and peasants who served in turn, and in addition to being scattered to take up the task of guarding and waiting, they also built and repaired military projects. Since the border guards are responsible for direct foreign warfare, they have the largest number of troops among the three major parts of the Qin State, and their combat effectiveness is also extremely strong!

But at present, it is obvious that it is impossible for Fusu to go to the border area to inspect those elite border guards, so they can only choose from the army in the internal system. The county soldiers generally have poor combat effectiveness and have little learning value; And the guard officers in the Beijing division soldiers can only be regarded as elite bodyguard troops, so that only the guards and the tiger army can choose from the Beijing division soldiers. Fusu thought about it, and decided to go to the Tiger Army, after all, this is the most elite army in Great Qin, and so far, his old father-in-law Wang Jian still holds the official position of the captain of the Tiger Army!

So, Fusu led the guards to go straight to Wang Qian's mansion early in the morning. As for why Fusu has always let Wuxin and others participate in the core secrets of Daqin, Fusu has his own set of ideas, which is nothing more than the word 'mutual trust': after all, such an open and unreserved trust can greatly alleviate Momen's suspicions about him, which is very important for Fusu to completely control Momen!

And because Wang Jian didn't play much in the past two years, he basically stayed in China to make some preparations for the big war, so when Fusu was looking for him, Wang Jian was in the house! Hearing that Fusu reported that he entered, Wang Jian hurriedly greeted Wang Ben. Fusu saw Wang Jian laughing and said, "The old general hasn't seen him for many days, is he still in good health?" Wang Jian smiled slightly and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the son, Weichen's body is still very strong." A few days ago, I heard that Gongzi went to the central military building, how could he have time to come to Weichen's Didi Mansion today? ”

Fusu was about to speak, and suddenly saw Wang Ben hiding behind Wang Ben and secretly sticking out his little head to look at him, so he squeezed his eyes at Wang Ben, Wang Ben's face turned red, and he shy retracted behind Wang Ben. Fu Su straightened his face and said with a smile: "I have already seen the military construction, and I want to see the specific situation of my Great Qin Iron Army again!" The old general's tiger army can be called the absolute elite of my Great Qin, so Fusu came today to invite the old general to accompany Fusu to the army for a turn, and give Fusu some insight! ”

Seeing that Fusu was sincere in learning, Wang Jian couldn't help but squint his eyes very happily, and said with a smile: "The son is so studious, how dare the old man disobey!" Childe waits for a while, and the old man goes with Childe in armor! Fusu nodded: General Wang Jian is really a model for soldiers, and he attaches great importance to his image in the army!

When Wang Jian was about to take Wang Ben back to the inner house to put on his armor, suddenly Wang Fang said softly: "Father, can I go together?" Wang Jian frowned when he heard this, and looked at Fusu. Fusu hadn't seen Wang Fang for a few days, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I can see everywhere, so let's go with him!" Seeing that Fusu agreed, Wang Jian had no choice but to nod. Immediately, Wang Bianle was broken, and he pulled Fusu to get into the car. Fusu had no choice but to get in the car first.

After a while, Wang Jian and Wang Ben finished wearing their armor, then they each got on their horses, and led their personal soldiers to go straight to the Tiger Ben military camp next to the Xianyang Palace.

******

When he was about to enter the barracks, suddenly a row of sixteen tiger guards with halberds in front of the door blocked the way and shouted: "There is an order in the army, no horses are allowed to gallop in the camp!" Che Qiong was startled, hurriedly shouted, pulled the reins of the horse violently, and stopped the horse with a neigh. Fusu was unaware of the car, and slammed forward, almost lying on the car.

Fusu was furious in his heart: "What a big dog's guts, even Ben Gongzi and their top boss dare to stop him!" Don't want to live anymore!? Then he angrily stuck his head out of the curtain to see what was going on!

I saw Wang Jian turn over and dismount, came to Fusu's car, and said to Fusu with some shame: "Childe, the military order in the army is like this, please forgive me!" Hearing this, Fusu's face softened, and he smiled slightly: "It's okay, General Wang Lao is strict in governing the army and selfless with an iron face, it's too late for Fusu to admire, how dare you blame!" Come on, all dismount and walk into the camp! So, Wuxian, Huofeng and the others had no choice but to glare at Wang Jian reluctantly, and dismounted.

When he entered the door, he saw a row of sixteen tiger guards standing with halberds in their halberds, and the solemn figure of not squinting, Fusu couldn't help but secretly praise: "Wang Jian is really a famous general and good at governing the army, such a strict military discipline of the iron army really does not let Zhou Yafu of the Han Dynasty be beautiful!" ”

As soon as he entered the barracks, the atmosphere changed, which was completely different from the quiet and solemn atmosphere outside the camp: I saw that above the open space in the camp, it was simply in full swing, with smoke and dust billowing out, and countless Qin Army Tiger Ben guards were struggling to practice on the martial arts field. Some are practicing free fighting, some are practicing crossbow archery, and some are practicing galloping horses and running wildly to control cars...... In short, the martial arts arena is full of momentum and a bit of power!

Gradually, when Fusu and the others came to a group of Qin soldiers who were concentrating on shooting targets with crossbows, Wang Jian introduced: "This is my Qin crossbowmen, and when they go into battle, they are divided into two situations: they have no armor when attacking, and they are dressed in uniform civilian clothes to facilitate lightness; The defense is dressed in light armor to make it easy to protect themselves. Their firing stance is also divided into two situations: standing, which is mainly used when the threat of enemy forces is low; The kneeling position is used when there is a high threat from the enemy. Childe, please see, these crossbowmen also have their hair combed into an upturned bun, which is a symbol of their status as crossbowmen. Since crossbowmen are only long-range weapons and generally do not fight directly with the enemy, their knighthood is low, and they are only the first-level knighthood - Gongshi! (See Appendix 1 for the title of Qin Jun)"

Fusu nodded, indicating that he understood: "It seems that these crossbowmen of the Qin army have undergone a whole set of strict training, and they have a complete set of methods to deal with various dangerous forms!" That's amazing! ”

Everyone moved forward again, and then they saw a group of Qin soldiers with solemn faces and huge spears, under the command of an officer, walking back and forth in a straight pace, constantly changing formations, but always aiming the tip of the spear at the place where the imaginary enemy existed.

Wang Jian pointed and said: "This is the spearmen of my Qin State, they are generally dressed in light armor, and their hair is combed into braids and pasted on the back of their heads, so that it is convenient to attack with spears!" Since they are more dangerous and have to fight directly with the enemy, their title is Shangzai! Childe didn't know if you noticed that these spearmen were strictly practicing the formation and transformation of the queue, because their combat methods required them to cooperate with each other extremely closely! When the spearmen attacked, they formed a strict formation as they do now, and they were indomitable, and they died and replaced! It can be said that the phalanx is like a mountain, the tip of the gun is like a forest, and the power is unstoppable! But the most important thing to form such a powerful force is to maintain a tight formation, which requires strict training! ”

When Fusu saw the huge forest of spears that were as dense as thorns, he couldn't help but face each other frequently, and he was deeply convinced of Wang Qian's words. Such a well-coordinated spearman would be a huge nightmare for enemy cavalry and infantry in battle!

Immediately afterwards, several teams of soldiers were training in hand-to-hand combat with halberds and beryllium: during the training, a group of Qin soldiers roared angrily, jumped left and right, or stabbed straight, or slashed, or hooked, and the direct battle was dusty and sweaty, and it was really a group of brave men. Wang Jian smiled: "They are beryllium soldiers and halberd soldiers, and they are behind the pikemen to guard the phalanx when fighting. You see, they were all dressed in light armor, but their hair was coiled around their heads, and they all wore pointed caps made of linen. This is to prevent their long hair from falling out and covering their eyes in the heat of hand-to-hand combat! They are also second-class knights, like spearmen: Shangzao! ”

"Oh, I see!" Fusu couldn't help but be secretly surprised, in order to make it easier for the Qin army to fight, he even took into account the form of his hair, such a meticulous army was naturally handy when it came to fighting.

As the crowd was walking, suddenly the sound of wheels was rolling on the right, and a column of bronze-wheeled chariots swept over like a wind under the pull of four war horses, making a loud thunderous sound. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly got out of the way, if they were hit by such a thunderous carriage, they would be paralyzed if they didn't die!

Wang Jian said with a smile: "These boys, the fire is quite strong. Childe, please see, this is the most powerful class of my Great Qin at the moment: the rook soldier! The chariot soldiers are equipped with single-wheel, two-wheeled and four-horse wooden cars, each with 3 people, all wearing armor, the emperor is in the center, and the armor soldiers are 2 people standing on both sides, holding spears and spears. Among them, the royal hand is the most important, because the speed, direction, stability, and safety of a carriage are in his hands, so they are all a group of good drivers, and the titles are also higher, they are all third-level titles. It's the most junior officer in my Great Qin! You can tell who they are by looking at their hairstyles and armor: they all wear plate-like cowhide hats to prevent their hair from falling out when they run wild, and their armor is much more elaborate than that of ordinary soldiers. As for the two armorers in the car, they belong to the same Shangzao as the beryllium soldiers, halberd soldiers, and spearmen! ”

"Oh! That's how it is!? "Fusu didn't expect that these seemingly inconspicuous royal hands turned out to be the most basic officers of the Qin army, and Fusu still thought that this imperial hand was the lowest-level soldier? It seems that it is really difficult to understand the true face of the Qin army without going deep into the army!

Gradually, when I came to the southeast corner of the martial arts arena, I saw a group of cavalry shouting and screaming in the field, and in the galloping horses, they kept shooting at the arrow target in front of them in various postures, using the light cavalry crossbow that surprised Fusu!
