Chapter 709: Three Words

The group came to the front of the barracks, and the three commanders led a group of generals out of the camp to greet them, and the three commanders were all senior generals in the forbidden army, one was the golden gun general Xu Ning, one was the double gun general Dong Ping, and the other was the arrow general Zhang Qing.

Xu Ning has always been the head of the Golden Gun Class of the Forbidden Army, he is low-key and modest, and he has won the appreciation of Gao Yu, and he has been promoted step by step to the commander of the infantry of the fifth grade, and this time he has let him command the 10,000 people of the left army, which is also an exceptional promotion.

Dong Ping is Gao Yu's confidant general, nearly fifty years old, very senior, participated in the battle to exterminate Fangla, accumulated merit and was promoted to the former deputy commander of the palace, is a senior official of the fourth grade, this time commanding 10,000 Chinese troops.

Another member of the command is the arrow general Zhang Qing, he is only in his thirties, the official is the general of the left guard, the cavalry is the commander, but his son-in-law of the Xiang family, the background is quite hard, so he was also exceptionally promoted, commanding the right army of 10,000 people.

These three generals formed the backbone of the 30,000 forbidden army, but the commanders of the New Northern Army were not formally appointed, and they are currently concurrently held by Gao Yu.

"See Taiwei, see Tongzhi, see Wang Shilang!"

The three generals bowed down together, but they didn't notice that Li Yanqing was also coming, Xu Ning saw Li Yanqing, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Li Yanqing is now Kaifeng Yin, and he should have nothing to do with the New Taipei Army!

Gao Yu smiled and introduced: "The establishment of the New Northern Army this time is exactly the suggestion of Li Fuyin, who is currently the only high-ranking official in the capital who has commanded the army and the Jin soldiers to fight siege battles, so I suggested to the official family that Li Fuyin should assist in guiding everyone's training." ”

Whether it is Xu Ning or Dong Ping, they have been rolling in the officialdom for many years, and both of them understand in their hearts that the establishment of the New Taipei Army at this time is actually to cooperate with the prince's preparations, and Li Yanqing is obviously the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, but he is involved in this matter, needless to say, they can also guess that Li Yanqing is actually the representative of the prince, and he is the real leader of this army.

Although Zhang Qing's reaction was a little weaker, he would only look forward to Dong Ping, and the three of them hurriedly bowed to Li Yanqing again, "See Li Fuyin!" ”

Li Yanqing is under the control of the capital in Taiyuan, and his official position is one level higher than theirs, he can completely accept the salute of the three of them, Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "The three generals, please be exempted!" ”

Dong Ping hurriedly said: "Commanders, please enter the camp!" ”

Surrounded by a group of generals, everyone entered the camp, and on the vast martial arts arena in the camp, 30,000 soldiers were divided into more than a dozen phalanxes to train formations, shouting and killing like thunder.

They came to the big tent of the Chinese army and sat down respectively, Gao Yu as the prime minister, the privy envoy, and also the nominal commander of the New Northern Army, he had the highest status and sat on the commander's position, while the other Gao Shen, Li Gang and Li Yanqing sat on both sides respectively, while Xu Ning and other generals lined up to stand in front of the handsome case, waiting for the commander's lecture.

Gao Yu coughed lightly and said slowly: "Everyone must also know that the official family approved the establishment of the New Northern Army, the main purpose is to train the defense of the city in a targeted manner, we don't know if the Jin soldiers will invade the south and south, but we must prepare for the worst, this is the original intention of the establishment of the New Northern Army, once the Jin soldiers come to the city, we are the last defenders of the capital, so the official family hopes that within two months, the New Northern Army will be trained to be an elite army comparable to the Taiyuan Defense War, the official family has given me great power, and gave Shang Fang the sword of the son of heaven, Therefore, I can make decisions about all military affairs involving the New Northern Army, and I don't need to ask the officials anymore. ”

Li Gang was slightly disappointed in his heart, the meaning of Gao Yu's words was that he didn't want anyone to interfere in the New Northern Army anymore, and he was afraid that the prince's plan to take over the New Northern Army would fall through.

Although Li Gang repeatedly emphasized to Li Yanqing that the prince wanted him to sit in charge of the New Northern Army, Li Gang knew very well that the prince was wishful thinking, Li Yanqing was not a member of the Military Council, and it was possible that he would be accepted by the official family as the capital of the New Taipei Army, but Li Yanqing's control of the New Northern Army was only the first step, as long as Li Yanqing was in charge of the New Northern Army, the Military Council could control military affairs by installing civilian officials, so that the prince could completely control the New Army.

It's a pity that the prince's wishful thinking is wonderful, but it is not easy to achieve, first of all, Li Yanqing is unwilling to take over this army directly, he prefers to control it indirectly, and even does not hesitate to introduce Cao Yan to serve as the commander of the capital, and secondly, Gao Yu does not seem to want others to get involved in this army, so he said that he is willing to sit in charge of the New Taipei Army, so if the prince wants to control this new army, he can only deal with Gao Yu.

At this time, Gao Yu said: "Regarding the specific training program, everyone is a soldier, and they all have their own set, including my Gao Yu also has his own training experience, if everyone engages in their own training, then there is no need to set up only one New Taipei Army, ten or twenty can be established, but this is absolutely not good, there is only one training program in the New Taipei Army, and this plan cannot be changed once it is implemented. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yu stopped, his eyes scanned everyone sternly, everyone lowered their heads, and no one spoke.

Gao Yu continued: "The training plan of the New Taipei Army this time is decided by Li Fuyin, and I will let Li Fuyin give you a specific explanation. ”

Li Yanqing stood up and said with a smile: "I thought that I would be able to become a civilian official and no longer worry about the affairs of the army, but I couldn't do it, and I was arrested by Captain Gao again, so I'll make a little suggestion!" ”

Although Li Yanqing's tone was more polite, Gao Yu's hard words had already been said, so he couldn't be too casual, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Gao Yu.

So after Li Yanqing said two kind words, his attitude also became serious, and he said to everyone: "The 150,000 Jin soldiers attacked Taiyuan City, which lasted nine days, launched 17 siege battles, including three night battles, lost a total of more than 500 ladders, hundreds of nest cars, and killed more than 50,000 people, and finally hated Taiyuan City, and the Song army defending the city also suffered more than 6,000 casualties, and nearly 10,000 casualties, the Song army won the victory in the Taiyuan defense battle, there are many reasons, I summarize it as three major points, For example, our trebuchet was equipped five years ago, stored in the warehouse, and can be used directly on the city, but we still add another tie to the trebuchet to prevent the rope from becoming brittle due to age, this is the detail, otherwise it is easy to cause the serious consequences of the throwing failure and the explosion of the earth-shaking thunder in the city......."

Everyone was listening carefully to Li Yanqing's introduction to his experience, including Li Gang, cold sweat continued to break out on his back, compared to the defense preparations of Taiyuan City, he found that their defense preparations were too rough and full of loopholes.

Li Yanqing continued: "The second reason is that the defending army is very elite, but I want to tell you that most of this garrison army that can defend the city with one enemy and three is trained by the township soldiers, and the shortest training is two months, and they are reborn and have extremely strong combat effectiveness, so how did they succeed in training?" There are only three words: true, strict, ruthless, really refers to the actual combat simulation, in the simulated combat training, a total of 64 people died, some fell from the city and fell to their deaths, some were cut by wooden knives and died, and hundreds of people were injured.

The second word is strict, that is, strict military discipline, I tell you, among the 64 people who died, eight of them were beaten to death in public with 300 sticks because they were lazy in three consecutive trainings, and without strict and strict military discipline, it is impossible to train an elite army;

The third word is ruthless, referring to the intensity of training, training for eight hours a day, from morning to night, so that the physical strength of the soldiers has been greatly improved, so in the defense of Taiyuan, for several days and nights without sleep and the enemy fierce battle, everyone withstood it, but the Jin soldiers could not stand it and collapsed, and there was no siege in the later period, and finally had to retreat, so Gao Taiwei adopted my plan, then I will also use the method of training Taiyuan township soldiers to train the forbidden army in Beijing, I hope everyone will fight a little bit, and it will be reborn in a month, Don't even compare to the village soldiers. ”

After Li Yanqing finished speaking, almost all the generals changed their faces in shock, and even Gao Yu was stunned.

Where is this training, this is clearly the eighteen kinds of torture in the underworld.
