Chapter 33: Wei Shu Phalanx
After the reorganization of the people, they became one pawn, and Wang Sun was appointed as the head of the pawn as the township Sima without mercy.
Under the pawn, Zhao Wuxian set up three infantry two.
In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the three armies of Zhuxia fought in units of "ride", one with a horse chariot, the right of the car, the left of the car, and the Yurong as the main force and commander, plus 72 foot soldiers to cooperate, "the car galloped and ran" to cooperate with the battle. However, at that time, the war was mainly played by the nobles on the chariots, and the main role played by the apprentices was as baggage soldiers and cheerleaders, and their status was relatively low......
In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the situation changed, and the aristocratic temperament of the war became weaker and weaker, and finally evolved into an endless conquest to destroy the country. In particular, the development of the Rongdi barbarians in the Zhuxia country did not need to pay attention to any ancient military etiquette, so the cheap, efficient, and highly adaptable foot soldiers began to gradually replace the chariot and become the protagonist of the war.
Zhao Wuxian heard Yang Yurong say that in this era, in the south, there was a leap forward in war thinking and war methods under the leadership of Sun Wu. As for the Jin State, as early as forty years ago, the Zhongxing clan and the Wei clan planned a military reform of the military system.
In the summer of the 17th year of the reign of Emperor Ping of the Jin Dynasty (541 BC), Wu and Wei Shu led their troops to open up the northern border of the Jin Kingdom, and encountered a coalition of Shanrong and Qundi in Taiyuan.
In the Taihang Mountains, the mountains overlap, the roads are rugged, and the terrain is dangerous and narrow. Wei Shu believed that Rong Diduo on the opposite side was an infantry, and his own side was a chariot, and it was difficult for the chariot to maneuver and win in the mountains. Therefore, he put forward a proposal to Wu of the Bank of China to "destroy the chariots for the sake of traveling" and transform the chariot formation into an infantry phalanx, so that the original chariot formation of two, arm, specialty, staff, and partial formation was changed into a mutually coordinated infantry battle formation with the forward, rearguard, left flank, right flank, and forward rejection as the formation.
This is the famous Wei Shu phalanx, which also opened the precursor of the Chinese infantry era, and has been used by the Jin army since then.
After the victory in this battle, a large part of the northern land was seized by the Jin state, and further colonization was carried out, and in this wave of northward expansion, the Zhao clan also obtained an important base in the future: Jinyang.
That's why Zhao Wuxian set up the combination of troops in this way: a chariot as a command vehicle, three infantry and two main forces, plus two cavalry from the flanks.
Tian Ben, an evil boy, has been jumping in a row for the past few days, first had a fight with Mu Xia, and lost the fight, but he picked up a Wu Changdang, which will be mixed with two Simas. Yesterday, he guarded the door outside the township temple and beat Cheng's soap li, making a bad name in the township, and the wicked have their own wicked people, which will let him clean up the villagers who are in chaos.
I saw Tian Ben with his hands behind his back, holding his head high and constantly scolding in the middle of the crowd, and when he saw that there was a troublemaker, he was a kick in the past, and he was honest for a moment or two.
Zhao Wuxian signed a roll yesterday, elevating the status of Yu Xi and Mu Xia's two cronies to become Chinese. As the ruler of a township and the gentleman of the Zhao family, he has this power, but he still has to report to the lower palace for approval, and he thinks that there is no reason for the cheap father to embarrass him.
Therefore, Mu Xia also became a foot soldier and two Sima, and he had already established the status of the first master of the horn in the Zhao soldiers of the lower palace, plus he was Zhao Wuxian's earliest cronie, this appointment was well deserved.
As for the well, which didn't talk much, but was quite authoritative among the savages, after all, he didn't know the roots, and Wuxian decided to observe it for a while.
Yang Tongue Rong's position has not changed, although the two former subordinates are now on an equal footing with him, but because he still has the identity of a shirtless car, as long as Wuxian can successfully win a large county of 10,000 households, he will have a chance to be promoted in the future, so he doesn't care about it. Moreover, among the one or two in the sheep tongue Rong, Zhao soldiers in the lower palace are the majority, and they are the backbone of the pawn.
Of course, the appointments of these people were all issued by Zhao Wuxian personally, and he still understands the truth that only tools and fame are not allowed to be fakes. Only by exercising authority can the people below understand who their parents are and to whom they need to be loyal to them.
At the same time, the superior can't do everything by himself, although the current force is only a hundred, but Zhao Wuxian has also begun to figure out a little bit of imperial experience.
So, he silently observed Wang Sunqi's training on the sidelines, and did not interfere too much. As a traverser, he was exposed to a lot of information in his previous life, and he played and played the all-out war series, and he may have some unique ideas in his heart, but most of them are at the tactical and strategic level.
He is a self-aware person, so not only did he not command indiscriminately, but he was also studying humbly in secret. I thought that after I went back, I would ask Wang Sun Qi for more advice, at least I had to thoroughly read the "Sima Law" written by Sima Sui Tho, a native of Qi State.
Although these are all very basic things, and there are many quaint military salutes that can be ignored, but after slowly accumulating, combined with the memories of those cross-era battles in later generations, it may be possible to command tens of thousands of troops without mercy one day...... Hmm, don't think about the rank of soldier immortal Han Xin, the more the merrier, genius can do it.
Alas, I don't know if the soldier saint Sun Wu is still working in Wu to help his husband and son work in Wu State, has the cross-era masterpiece "The Art of War" been written?
While studying, Zhao Wuxian also put forward his own suggestions to Wang Sunqi: "Wang Sun, although this time it is in the name of preparing for thieves, but you and I both know that within a hundred miles of this Xintian vicinity, Liuqing has stationed the entire strength of the six divisions, plus the Chinese people are brave and fierce, where are there any big thieves to speak of." ”
The armed forces of the six Qings, the imaginary enemy will naturally not be the few wandering mountain thieves, but the other Qings. Now the Jin State is divided into three forces, one faction of Zhao Wei and Han, one faction of Fan and Bank of China, and one faction of Jin Marquis and Zhi. Which is stronger and which is weaker, is really as Sima Leqi of the Song Dynasty said, and it is impossible to distinguish at all...... Everyone can only be cautious and pay special attention to the garrison training of the towns under their own rule.
Zhao Wuxian continued: "So the villagers are all forced by Li Xu to come, and their minds are all on the farming work at home, and they are not happy with the hard work of training, and the efficiency will be reduced. We might as well tempt it with a juju, so that they can learn the method of battle formation coordination in the game, and then further practice the golden drum banner and advance and retreat formation, do you think it is feasible? ”
Wang Sunqi thought for a while, and showed a puzzled look: "The gentleman's idea is good, this move will make the townsmen happy to practice, this Juju period also knows that it is more popular in Qidi, but it is only a single or three or four people skill game, and it can't play the role of training!" ”
"The juju that the kid said is very different from the performance and skill of the Qi people, so let's do it, today Wang Sun first selects two troops, distributes weapons, and the kid will make a full fight another day, let the Zhao soldiers in the lower palace have a competition, and show the drill to Wang Sun."
The juju that Zhao Wuxian said is actually a combination of football and rugby in later generations, and its confrontation and intensity are naturally not comparable to the juggling nature of Juju in the Spring and Autumn Period. And China's competitive juju was formed by the Qin and Han dynasties and used in military training, and was even listed as one of the skills of the soldiers by Ban Gu......
In addition to the three infantry two, there is also a new class of cavalry two, Zhao Wuxian selected a few young boys and shepherds who are good at riding from the villagers, and after merging with the teenagers brought by the lower palace, Yu Xi, a close confidant, was used as the two Sima.
He couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: The composition of this cavalry is so pure, will it be called "Knights of the Shepherd" in the future.
Seeing the young and upright teenagers riding on horseback, as if the prototype of the iron horse in the future, Zhao Wuxian was also interested, and personally took them on the horse to saddle and run a few laps around the threshing floor.
After that, he felt that he was not happy, so he simply let Wang Sun Qi practice the apprentices like this, and he transferred Yu Xi and a few others from the cavalry, and took Cheng Wu as a guide to inspect the township. It can also be regarded as fulfilling the duty of the township governor to "ask about local customs and customs, and the country's suffering".
Starting from the vicinity of the Xiangsi, from near to far, they are Jiali, Douli, Sangli, and Chengshi Sili.
