Chapter 26: Planning a New Army
Yang Mu couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that in the eyes of the old general, he insisted on implementing the new training method in a rash manner, and he was still playing tricks.
However, after all, he is a veteran of the two dynasties, loyal to the country, and he only said such a thing in a moment's anger, Yang Mu didn't care about him, and happily agreed to this agreement, although it couldn't be seen immediately, but it could also be effective, if it really couldn't be implemented, without the opposition of the generals, he himself would order it to stop.
As for which people to choose, it is also a problem, Han Tong and Zhu Xi's four thousand soldiers must be moved to Wangfeng City and Jiang Shuncheng, if they want to select soldiers among them to gather and train, they must be separated from the people of the headquarters.
Therefore, he had a new idea to select a hundred people from each independent garrison, a total of 400 soldiers, to be completely independent, and to form a new army to become an independent fighting force.
Once the training has an effect, let these people serve as the commanders of the ten, recruit and expand the army across the country, and with the enthusiasm of the people of Cangguo to join the army, it will only take a few months to quickly pull up a brand new army.
At noon, the whole camp was in full swing, and the men specially bought two 600-pound pigs from the nearby villages, and after cleaning them up, the bones were boiled in soup, the meat fat was fried in oil, and they were poured into the vegetables and stir-fried, and the overflowing fragrance made the soldiers of the entire camp drool.
Before it was time for the meal, the whole camp was in an uproar, and the fragrant rice and greasy meat were carried from the barracks to the various camps and distributed to every table.
Pots and pans, and the sound of gobbling up, rang out at the same time.
According to the rules, every team in the barracks made up a table, and the bone broth and vegetables were limited, so the chief of the barracks made a unified deployment, but there was no robbery.
"Have you heard, His Majesty the Emperor has an order to draw one hundred people from each of the three thousand people to form a new training army." While eating, someone began to talk.
"Didn't you say that the whole army has started a new type of drill?"
"The brain is really not open! The generals don't know much about this new type of training and drills, and they must come step by step, and when they learn it, they will then teach us, and this is not the same as the whole army using the new style of training...... Hey, Liu Zhuzi, what are you doing with all your energy immersed in eating, aren't you the best at talking on weekdays? ”
"Eat, eat! Whatever, whatever Your Majesty says, let's do it, what do you want to do! Liu Zhuzi buried his head, held a pottery bowl, and put another piece of greasy fat in his mouth, leaving a fragrant lip and teeth, and his face was satisfied.
The rest of the soldiers also swallowed their saliva and ate the dishes in their bowls, discussing as they ate.
Of course, such a scene was happening in hundreds of barracks at the same time, and after eating and drinking enough, the new method of training troops gradually became the focus of discussion.
I don't know which barracks there is a rumor, saying that once you become a member of the new army, it is equivalent to the Son of Heaven's own army, and you will have the opportunity to be a ten-commander, a captain, or even a centurion in the future.
And, centurions and generals, the list is being determined!
This time, in the barracks, which was already like boiling water, it was like pouring hot oil into it, and it exploded all at once.
When they first heard the news of the new drill, there were already many soldiers eager to try, shouting to respond to His Majesty's edict, but now, even some old soldiers who had long been numb were rushing to get up.
The soldiers rushed out of the barracks one after another, and poured into the barracks, and just happened to see everyone running towards the barracks of thousands of generals, so they all took action, lest they be preempted.
Crazy, extreme madness!
"The 100th Team: Shi Fugui, Yuan Xiaojiang, Liu Erzhu, Chen Youtian, Jiang Mancang, ......"
"The 200th team: Zhang Goudan, Su Yiwa, Zhao Shishi, ......"
"The 300th ......"
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the barracks, they saw a thousand people holding a document and reading their names one by one.
"Miss me?" The soldiers scrambled to be the first, pushing each other to drill forward, and kept asking the people around them.
"Well, do I have it?"
"Hahaha! There is my name! I was chosen! ”
In front of the barracks, the soldiers held their breath and listened attentively, and those who heard their names were elated, while those who did not make the list looked depressed.
Those who have a heart will find that these selected soldiers are all young soldiers, and many of them are not even more than twenty years old.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to train them yourself?" On the high ground of a barracks in the distance, Sima Hong stood beside Yang Mu, and he never thought that His Majesty the Emperor would be speechless and endless, and offered to train these people himself.
Yang Mu glanced at him: "I don't play in person, are you coming?" ”
Of course, he knew what Sima Hong was trying to say, it was nothing more than the emperor's golden body, and he couldn't condescend to his dignity and mix with ordinary soldiers, which would lose the emperor's majesty.
However, he also deeply knows that dignity and majesty can never be established by putting on a show, and as the king of a country, it is not shameful to deal with soldiers, but the small country and weak people, and being invaded by foreign enemies.
Historically, the respected sages and kings were all humble and loving the people and working hard, but it was those who favored the side of peace and put on a stinky shelf when they made small achievements, and in the end they did not die well, which Yang Mu admired Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor, no wonder he was praised by the great men of the Celestial Empire, not unreasonable.
"Your Majesty, now these dog days, the sun can roast people, we courtiers are used to it, it's nothing, you have to pay attention to the dragon body! If you are tired, what will Cangguo do...... Ouch, damn it, you can't speak! ”
Sima Hongxin was straightforward, and he said unabashedly, and ran into Wei Zhongquan's glare head-on, so he quickly changed his words.
Wei Zhongquan was also worried: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, how can you spend a lot of time on training soldiers?" At present, the three princes are still in the imperial city, if there is no His Majesty in charge, I am afraid that they will collude with the family gate valve and give birth to some kind of chaos. ”
"Hahaha, this Aiqing thinks too much. It is estimated that at this time, in the Queen Mother's Yiren Palace, King Ze and King Yi were going to the banquet and offering filial piety. The suspicion of the three kings has been born, and they are not afraid of deviance. ”
Wei Zhongquan suddenly realized: "It turns out that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have made an appointment, which is really clever!" In this way, it would not be a big problem for His Majesty to stay in the barracks for a few more days. ”
Aiqing said with a smile, it is impossible for me to stay in the barracks for a long time, train soldiers during the day, and then go back to deal with state affairs at night, so that there will be no delay.
Yang Mu laughed, a little weak-hearted, yesterday I promised the tigress at home, one story a day, today is only the next day, if you miss the appointment so much, you won't have to tear yourself alive next time you meet?
Hearing this, the generals around him laughed one by one, quite happy, to be able to assist such a diligent Ming Jun, it is really a great fortune for the ministers!
