Chapter 162: News from the Border Pass
For the next few days, besides, every morning he had to go to the big campus, he stood on the high platform, stared down, and didn't say anything. But he is here to urge and spur, and the students below are all working hard.
They don't work hard, they can't do it, they put the right ones are the elite soldiers of the two provinces, every day these students are beaten and bruised, and they have been prepared, they bought a lot of drugs from Zuo Ling to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, he can't tell whether he is faking public affairs and private interests, while asking people to train the students to bruise, on the other hand, they buy medicine, and the money goes into Zuo Ling's pocket, but these students have also received the most cruel training.
There is filial piety under the stick, and there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, maybe the elite soldiers are trained in this way.
Zhang Whale came to see it a few times, and he nodded more than once, he also felt very surprised, he really didn't see it before, and he was talented in military training.
Besides, he understands that he doesn't understand anything at all, but now Qi Jiguang can't pull out for a while, so he has to train like this whimsically, if you want to talk about formal training, you have to wait for Qi Jiguang to come over and command.
Zhao Yang still came to help every day, he is also interested now, but he can't stay at home, the old marquis is very pleased, this prodigal has finally found something serious to do.
"I heard that those Tartars outside the Saiwai are ready to move again, Qi Shuai may not be able to come over recently." Zhao Yang told besides.
"Tartar is going to break the gate again?" And I was surprised.
He was still strange, Qi Jiguang said that he would come over to help in a few days, but he never came, but he just sent someone to send a letter to apologize, saying that he couldn't get out recently, and he didn't explain the reason.
"The Tartars have been very rampant outside the Fortress lately, but it is unlikely that they will attack in a big way, and they usually attack in the autumn when the horses are fat and strong." Zhao Yang said.
Besides, nodding, the Mongols relied on horses for warfare, and if they did not have horses to move quickly, once they rushed into the pass and penetrated deep into the interior, they were likely to be trapped in the interior after holding the city and clearing the wilderness in various places.
However, even if they know that it is unlikely that they will attack on a large scale, as long as there is a little sign, the border passes must still be strictly guarded, in case any tribe eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, and after breaking through the border pass, come in and walk around, the general guarding the border pass is a capital crime.
As a general, Qi Jiguang is naturally very sensitive to these situations, and at this time he does not dare to stay away from the barracks, and he must be ready to attack all enemies who dare to attack at the border at any time.
Moreover, knowing that the Mongol Tatar lord has always been committed to the unification of the Saiwai Empire, which is also the only way for the Saiwai nation to become strong, it is necessary to unify the Saiwai first, and then it can gather strength to attack the Central Plains Dynasty.
Could it be that Alta has completed the reunification of the outside of Cyprus and has enough rest and recuperation?
Moreover, it is not like the people of the Ming Dynasty, who regard the people outside the Saiwai as barbarians, since Qin Shi Huang, after the Xiongnu, Turkic, Khitan, Dajin, Mongolia and other powerful ethnic groups that have unified the Saiwai are not weaker than the Han nationality in the Central Plains, and many times the Saiwai ethnic groups are stronger than the Han nation, especially during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xianbei people in the north established a strong political power, if it is not limited to the Yangtze River moat, whether the Han nationality can still exist is a question.
Subsequently, the north unified the south, although Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian claimed to be a Han Chinese, and the subsequent Li Tang royal family called itself a descendant of Laozi, but how much Xianbei blood and how much Han blood can never be said.
In any case, the Han people survived the most dangerous juncture, retained their place in the long river of history, and many of the once powerful peoples were finally integrated into this big family.
Therefore, if there is any nation in the world that dares to be stronger than the Chinese nation, it must be beyond its strength, and this kind of nation is destined to have no return and end up without a problem.
"Looks like we're going to have to step up our training." Moreover, although he knew that he might have to go to Fujian in the future, once the border was really urgent, it was difficult to say that he would not receive an order to fight outside the country, and the emperor's will included the task of going deep into the desert.
"Hurry up, you want these people's lives?" Zhao Yang exclaimed, in his opinion, the last trace of energy in the bodies of these students had been ruthlessly squeezed out, and he even suspected that this was revenge, so that these people would exhaust their energy on the training ground, and there would be no mental trouble.
Besides, of course, he didn't mean this, he was not afraid of someone making trouble at all, and all those who made trouble would ask Liu Shou to help teach him a lesson, so as to ensure that these people would be unforgettable in their next life.
He is now ruthless and implements the word strict throughout, even if he is scolded for being cold and cold-blooded.
"Don't worry, if you want to survive the war, you have to sweat on the training ground. The people who train them have a scale, and they don't really kill them. Besides.
"Brother, you'd better take it easy, it doesn't matter if you fire some people, it's okay to punish some people, if you really want to make a few lives, you will be in trouble." Zhao Yang said worriedly.
Besides, he nodded, he was still sure, and then bought some drugs to strengthen the muscles and bones, qi and blood from Zuo Ling, which can quickly restore the spirit and spirit of these people, of course he didn't toss these people for the sake of selling medicine, but after hearing the news that Zhao Yang said, he really felt a sense of urgency.
The two major calamities of the Ming Dynasty refer to the southern and northern captives, the Kou refers to the Japanese and the Tatar tribes.
Once the northern Tatar tribes invaded on a large scale, the Japanese would also take the opportunity to go ashore and plunder deep into the interior, as if they had been discussed. This is called taking advantage of the void, and it is also called the misfortune not going alone.
No one knows whether the Japanese have any contact or even alliance with the Tatar tribes, but from the perspective of war, the enemy is tired and disturbed, and the enemy retreats and advances, and it will never be wrong.
Besides, the mentality that has just gotten good is a little heavy, and if he wants to fight against the Mongols who have unified the entire Saiwai, these students under him are almost like chickens, and only the elite soldiers of the two prefectures can have a fight.
The territory of the entire Saiwai is much larger than the territory of the Central Plains in the interior, and in the entire Chinese territory, the Central Plains Dynasty in the Guannai only occupies a quarter of the territory, but the Saiwai has three-quarters. Although Qinghai, Tibet and Mongolia are vast, there are many desert lands, not all of which are suitable for human habitation and survival. But the nomads had an innate advantage, and every adult man was a strong and skilled cavalryman, and all of them were good at fighting.
In fact, during the Jiajing period, the trick to deal with the Mongols was to let them run in the interior, and the walls were cleared and the cities were held in various places.
In this way, the main cities could be defended, but those villages were plundered, and grain, pigs, cattle, sheep and people were driven to the border passes, this kind of scene was naturally unbearable to witness, but the officers and troops fought against the Mongol cavalry in the field, and there was indeed not much chance of victory.
During the Jiajing period, the Mongols once killed all the way to the outside of Beijing, and the angry Jiajing Emperor beheaded the military department Shangshu to thank the countrymen.
However, the Mongols did not always have a big harvest when they attacked the border passes and penetrated deep into the interior, and they often could not make ends meet, after all, there were still many officers and soldiers blocking and attacking them along the way, but no one attacked, and they were also in difficulty in the enemy's situation.
The Mongols do not have a sound logistical supply system, and rely entirely on the horses, cattle and sheep they bring with them, and once they run out of food and cannot grab enough food, they will be sleepy and lacking horses, and their combat effectiveness will plummet.
The leader of the Mongol tribes was the big winner, and most of the looted property belonged to him, and the tribes shared the looted materials according to their military merits, and the most bitter were the low-level soldiers. After each large-scale invasion, the Mongol tribes were also greatly damaged and had to recuperate for many years.
"You don't have to worry, even if there is something at the border, there are elite soldiers of the border army, and no matter how bad it is, there are still officers and soldiers, and we will not be allowed to dispatch." Zhao Yang felt what he was thinking, and said disapprovingly.
Besides, he didn't speak, he didn't dare to think like this, Qi Jiguang was prepared, and he also had to do it, otherwise once the holy decree came down, no matter how well these students trained, he would have to lead them to the border.
"It's useless if you're in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it's even more so for military training, you have to follow the procedure step by step." Zhao Yang said.
"Then speed up, you want to have a reward system, divided into upper, middle and lower three classes, complete the upper index of the reward, complete the middle index of the reward, the same is true of the inferior." Besides, he said.
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and training recruits according to this method will at least have a certain effect.
"You're going to have to pay for the silver again? I said you have a grudge against money, don't you, or I will help you spend tens of thousands? Zhao Yang said angrily.
"No, as long as you can get results quickly, it is cost-effective to spend more silver, and this time it is not only rewarding silver, I am going to take out five people, ten people, small flags, and general flags to reward, and those who receive rewards will also meet the challenge every month, and those who succeed in the challenge can be directly promoted, and what position can be maintained when they finally train into the army, I will play the emperor to give a formal appointment." Besides.
He had not appointed these positions among the cadets, just because he wanted to take them out again when necessary, and now the time was ripe.
"Can you guarantee that the emperor will grant your request?" Zhao Yang asked.
"I can. I can't be the master of hundreds of households and thousands of households, and I can still be the master of less than 100 households, if the emperor does not agree, I will resign. Besides.
Zhao Yang thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, he felt that it was only the official position of the general flag, small banner or even below, although it was also a formal official of the imperial court, but as the commander of the army, the emperor should give him the right to directly appoint.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with the sect leaders, and when I go home, I have to ask my old man, how to do this properly, my old man is the best."
