Volume 1 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 104 The Whole Army (4)

On the school field of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, there were slogans one after another. Separated by a camp, outside the wall is the suburbs of Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with thousands of miles of red land and homeless people; Inside the wall, it seems to be the camp of the People's Liberation Army recruit company two thousand years later, the soldiers are wearing the newly made Yangzhai County characteristic military uniforms, and the shiny standard boots made of pigskin are on their feet, walking towards the standard of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, shouting "One!" Two! Three! Four! ".

This reminded Guo Bin of the scene in the new barracks at the beginning of joining the army in his previous life. Obviously, it has been less than a year since he traveled to the Han Dynasty, but Guo Bin seems to have completely integrated into this world, as if he has really grown up here since he was born, and all kinds of things in his previous life seem to be a wonderful dream covered with dust. Life is like a dream, is it Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies, or butterflies and dreams of Zhuang Zhou?

Guo Bin is doing his best, consciously or unconsciously, changing the world, and the world is also trying to change Guo Bin.

Because of Guo Bin's arrival, soap, cement, new military uniforms, and high-grade wine have appeared in this world; Because of Guo Bin's arrival, the fate of the 30,000 homeless people in Yangzhai County plus the 6,000 homeless people recruited at this time has been changed dramatically; Because of the arrival of Guo Bin, Hanyu Pinyin, vertical formulas, and Newton's three laws of mechanics appeared; Or because of the arrival of Guo Bin, a large number of heroes in the late Han Dynasty, such as Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Hai, etc., gathered together to form a new team with great combat effectiveness.

And because he came to this world, Guo Bin seems to have become a little insensitive. In the past, he would faint when he killed a chicken, but now he can not only fight tigers hand-to-hand, but even if he kills ~ people, he will not have too many mood swings. He will do it for the benefit of the group, regardless of the life or death of his friends. For example, Ma Yuanyi, as long as Guo Bin informs him to escape in advance, he may be able to escape with his life; Or maybe he told him from the beginning that Tang Zhou would betray him and let him kill Tang Zhou first, or he could save his life. But Guo Bin didn't do it, and his interest group didn't allow him to do such a thankless thing; Foresight told him that the Taiping Dao would not succeed, and that its economic and demographic damage to the Central Plains would be devastating; He knew that if the wheel of history moved forward freely, the Han nation would be wailing under the iron hooves of foreign races for hundreds of years.

Therefore, he has to try to deviate the world from its original trajectory, and in order to achieve this, he must strive to become more powerful himself, and even be able to control the world.

Guo Bin has regarded this world as his own world, and he is very sure that since he can come to the era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, since he has such a clear memory in his mind, and since he has the accumulation of wisdom and understanding beyond this era for two thousand years, he must work hard to survive for himself, for his relatives, and for the brothers and subordinates who surround him and follow him to eat.

He understands more and more the meaning of the phrase "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" in the Hollywood blockbuster "Spider-Man" in his previous life.

Guo Bin, who had just crossed over, wanted to protect his mother Liu and younger brother Guo Jia, and later he would take more than 300 people in Fulong Villa to struggle to survive in the troubled times, and then he carried the lives and happiness of men, women and children in the entire Yangzhai County. He didn't know where he could go, but he knew he had to work hard to move forward. Because once he fails, the lives and ideals of these people he is carrying will collapse in an instant, and he cannot afford such a failure.

At the moment when Guo Bin was distracted, Zhang Fei stared at the soldiers in front of him who were "learning to walk" and was speechless.

He said to Guan Yu: "Old Guan, do you say that the lord doesn't want to use these people to meddle in the affairs of Taiping Dao?" Otherwise, how can they only learn to walk? Didn't you want to show the Son of Heaven, why did you walk so beautifully? If I want Lao Zhang to say, I should let them catch and fight every day! But the lord is difficult enough, think about it, what is the use of this newly recruited soldier? Could it be that it only takes eight or nine days to train them into elite soldiers? It's no wonder that these people can beat the masters of the Taiping Dao! ”

Guan Yu had long been accustomed to Zhang Fei's complaints, and Zhang Fei, who originally thought that he would be able to spread joy when he entered the barracks, saw such a boring training method, and his heart instantly cooled, and it was normal to complain.

However, Guan Yu still patiently explained: "Don't underestimate this queue training. The lord often said that a hundred well-trained soldiers are far better than a hundred martial arts masters. Do you know what that means? ”

Zhang Fei shook his head puzzled, Guan Yu said: "The lord said that the duty of a soldier is obedience, and the premise of obedience is discipline. Platoon training is to train the discipline of the non-commissioned officers and their ability to execute orders. As long as it is an order given by the commander, it is disciplined to move forward even if you know that you are dying. Don't look at them now practicing turning left and right and walking in unison, when they are used to obeying orders, when they are on the battlefield, they will also obey the orders of their commanders to rush forward. When they carry out the orders of their superiors without hesitation without thinking, the purpose of the training is achieved. ”

Seeing that Zhang Fei was deep in thought, Guan Yu continued: "The lord said that the husband can fight to the death for ten, ten can be against hundred, hundred can be against thousand, thousands can be against ten thousand, and ten thousand can conquer the world. The ideal soldier with rigorous training will be able to face the tide of enemies without fear of life or death. ”

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I see", and then, looking at Guo Bin's figure on the high platform, said: "Why does the lord understand so many truths at such a young age?" What's even more rare is that his martial arts are so superb, but I can't do it at my age. In Zhang Fei's eyes, strong martial arts are more admirable than long-term insight.

Guan Yu looked at Guo Bin's figure, his eyes showed reverence, and said: "Yide, the talent of the lord, should be given by God, not by man." ”

Zhang Fei also looked at the training soldiers and nodded slowly.

These newly recruited soldiers will have doubts in their hearts, didn't they say that they were going to Youzhou to buy leather goods? How did you practice walking here? However, most of them are still dragging their families, if they go to Youzhou, obviously they can't take the old and weak women and children on the road, and the weather is cold, and it is naturally not a good errand to go to Youzhou. Therefore, since they don't mention it, they are glad that it is too late, where will they take the trouble to remind them thanklessly?

The Vietnamese cavalry battalion is a professional archery battalion, but fortunately, the more than 300 warlike horses in the stables of the military camp have not decayed ~ degenerated like the previous soldiers in the battalion.

However, looking at the fact that there are only 300 war horses in the 700-person Yue cavalry camp, it can be seen that the stables of the Eastern Han Dynasty government have declined greatly compared with the Western Han Dynasty. In the Western Han Dynasty, after the unremitting efforts of several generations of emperors from Gaozu, by the time of Emperor Wu, the number of stables had reached 400,000.

However, the cost of raising horses is enormous, and the pressure on the national finances caused by hundreds of thousands of stables is unparalleled.

"Treatise on Salt and Iron: Loose Insufficiency" recorded: "The husband and the horse are in the stable, and the family of six is the food." Or because of the huge pressure on the national finances caused by the huge number of stables, the number of official stables was greatly reduced during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Baiguan Zhi II" records: "There were six stables in the past, and Zhongxing Province was about to make a contract, but one stable was placed. "There is also a "pastor's garden", which is divided into six counties in Hexi, Zhongxing is a province, and only Hanyang has a Liuma Garden. "In the fifth year of Emperor Yongyuan of the Han Dynasty (93 years), "Zhao Yousi Province and Liangzhou Zhuyuan Horses".

It can be seen from this that the Eastern Han Dynasty government consciously abolished the official Youma Yuan. However, if there is a war in the world, it cannot be without horses. As a result, the government strongly endorsed private horse breeding, and even encouraged it by exempting them from military service. During the time of Emperor Wen, "those who ordered the people to have a chariot and ride a horse were reinstated, and three people were reinstated." ”

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the breeding of private horses was extremely prosperous, so that there was a custom of Xima Shangche in the society. Wang Fu of the Eastern Han Dynasty described it in the "Floating Extravagance" as: "Oxen, horse, carts, and chariots, filling the wilderness".

As a result, the number of horses in the official stables was extremely limited, and the number of cavalry in the Gongwei Jing Division was also extremely scarce. Now there are more than 300 war horses in the Yue Cavalry camp, which has made Guo Bin, who is worried about the shortage of horses, very happy.

Bingzhou and Jizhou are close to the horse-producing land, and most of its people can ride horses. The displaced people recruited this time are those who focus on these two places. Among the 1,000 soldiers selected by Guan Yu, more than 800 could ride horses or had experience in horseback riding. Guo Bin didn't want them to immediately become the elite of the Yue cavalry battalion who were good at riding and shooting, but he just wanted them to move quickly on horses, and then dismount and fight on the battlefield.

If you want to train them in nine days not to avoid swords and axes, not to be afraid of arrows and stones, and to cooperate with the elite who are skilled and tacit, you can't do it in any way. Therefore, Guo Bin's requirement for them is to listen to commands, obey orders, and do what they order, and stop when they are ordered. When it was time to go to battle, as long as they stood at a distance, lined up in formation, and could bend their bows and shoot arrows.

Guo Bin prefers arrow formations, and the lethality formed by nearly 1,000 archers lining up in a formation and releasing arrows together is something that no martial arts master can escape. Therefore, his definition of the current Viet Cavalry Battalion is: archers who can move quickly on horseback, or swift archers, would be a little more professional.

However, when the camp was in full swing into the intense and busy training, the sound of shouting and shouting could be heard outside the camp.

Guo Bin and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and said secretly in their hearts: "Is it finally here?" ”

But after a while, a sergeant came to report: "There are hundreds of soldiers from the original Yue cavalry battalion outside the camp who are making trouble and want to rush into the camp." ”

Guo Bin nodded, and Guan Yu continued to train the troops, and he himself took Zhang Fei and a cadre of Wenchen to the camp gate.

When he arrived at the camp gate, Guo Bin ordered someone to open the camp gate and went out with a few people following. When he stood still, sure enough, the leader was Yuan Jian.

Yuan Jian saw Guo Bin come out, although he was very timid in his heart, but when he rushed to this part, he was not allowed to come out. At that moment, he rode forward and said to Guo Bin: "We are all soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and now you dare to expel us from the military camp and occupy the magpie's nest, if the Son of Heaven blames it, it will be a great crime to exterminate the nine clans!" Even if you ride the captain, there is absolutely no reason to expel the officers and men of our battalion! ”

The soldiers behind Yuan Jian were enthusiastic when they heard what Yuan Jian said, and they also felt that they were in charge, so they immediately clamored and responded one after another. When Yuan Jian heard this, he was immediately complacent, as if his waist had hardened a lot. Deng Shi was triumphant, as if Guo Bin was prostrate at his feet.

He was kicked out of the Yueqi camp this time, so he naturally didn't dare to see Yuan Shu. He thought that since Yuan Shu was angry with Guo Bin and made him lose face, if he gave Guo Bin a dismount and made Guo Bin lose face once, then even if he couldn't go back to the Yue Cavalry Camp, he could regain Yuan Shu's trust!

So, in the past few days, Yuan Jian colluded with a group of sergeants who were driven away by Guo Bin in the Yuecai camp to make trouble in the Yuecai camp. The so-called many people are not guilty, and he led more than 400 people to come, and the momentum was huge, and Guo Bin would have to spend a lot of money if he wanted to drive them away. At that time, Guo Bin will be slightly inferior, and his goal of losing Guo Bin's face will be achieved.
