Chapter 10: Wu Ji's Troop Training (I)
In Wu Ji's mind, he was promoted to the battalion commander, at most, the corresponding official agreed, but he didn't expect that it was the deputy privy envoy Wang Shao who personally asked, which was too high.
Who is Wang Shao?
Wang Shao was the confidant of Song Shenzong, and a "Pingrong Policy" was adopted by Song Shenzong, guarding the Xihe River, and leading the Song army to win the biggest victory in the Hundred Years War between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, the Battle of Xihe!
Expand the land for more than 2,000 miles, and force hundreds of thousands of people of Western Xia to fall!
This happened just a few years ago, and Wang Shao's family was in full swing. Wu Ji's promotion was personally drawn by him, which means that Wu Ji's future is very good and his future is bright.
"Commander Wu, this is the emperor's will!" Mrs. Zheng's smile was even stronger, and she said with a smile: "If there is no emperor's will, General Wang Shaowang will not be able to write!" Commander Wu, you must not live up to the emperor's expectations! ”
"The Emperor...... The Emperor's will? Wu Ji was even more surprised.
Wang Shao personally asked, this matter was high enough, but he didn't expect it to be Song Shenzong's will, which was really beyond Wu Ji's imagination. Wu Ji definitely didn't expect that even Song Shenzong would be shocked by his promotion.
Still, it's a good thing!
This means that Wu Ji entered Song Shenzong's field of vision, and Song Shenzong began to pay attention to him. As long as it attracts the attention of Song Shenzong, Wu Ji's future is brilliant and immeasurable.
"If I want to sell the thunderbolt bomb to Song Jun, the more attention Song Shenzong has, the better! If I use thunderbolts to fight the Liao army, I believe that there will be no problems with the use of thunderbolts! This is the place where the two countries fought on the border, and there is no problem with the Liao army, as long as I train the army well! The more Wu Ji thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Commander Wu, this is above the border pass, Liaogou often commits borders, it is the place where men gallop, you have to seize the opportunity, don't let the emperor down!" Mrs. Zheng encouraged: "In the border place, the man is galloping, this place belongs to you!" ”
"Lord Xie Zheng!" Wu Ji looked at Mrs. Zheng, and saw that he was very pleased, and said with a smile: "In the matter of being promoted, Lord Zheng has not contributed less, right?" ”
This Zheng Tai is definitely not simple, he was able to send Wu Ji's promotion to Song Shenzong, this person's background is very great.
"Commander Wu is serious, this is what this official should do!" Mrs. Zheng shook her head slightly, and said, "Commander Wu can be promoted to battalion commander, this is the emperor's grace!" The emperor is a promising king, fierce and fierce, to break the Liao and destroy the Western Xia, and unify China, he needs talents like you! Lord Wu can make thunderbolts and use soldiers, which is exactly the talent that the emperor dreams of! ”
Song Shenzong's ambition, Zheng Tai has already talked about it, and Wu Ji really felt that Song Shenzong was indeed a promising emperor, otherwise, he would never have issued an edict for the sake of a battalion commander.
Mrs. Zheng did not leave in a hurry, but had a long talk with Wu Ji, and the two of them couldn't talk about it.
This night, the two slept together, like old friends, arguing, communicating, expressing their opinions, talking about their happiness, laughing loudly, and when it came to the differences, the two of them blushed. No matter how much they fight, they are not jealous, but they appreciate each other's opinions even more.
After this conversation, Wu Ji had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the Song Dynasty, and he learned that Song Shenzong was ambitious and wanted to work hard to enable Wang Anshi to change the law. However, the opposition, headed by Sima Guang, Lu Gongshu, Fu Bi, and Han Qi, did everything possible to obstruct the new law, and the new law was struggling as it was in history.
If at such a time, if one and several big victories can be fought at the border gates, it will be of great benefit to Song Shenzong to implement the new law, and it can make the opposition shut up.
"This is above the border pass, maybe there will be a fight, if there is really this opportunity, I must take advantage of it, and fight a good fight! The Song Dynasty must be reformed, if nothing else, just say that the military and political affairs must be comprehensively reformed, and I should consider it my contribution to the new law! Wu Ji secretly made up his mind.
In the following time, Wu Ji began to think about how to train the Converted Garrison. The converted garrisons cannot be called armies, they are not much different from refugees, their combat effectiveness is extremely low, and it is impossible to use such an army to fight against the Liao army, and they must be trained before the Liao army invades the territory.
This is a heavy task, because the Liao army may invade at any time.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the army to be formally trained. On this day, Wu Ji got up early, dressed neatly, and rushed to the barracks.
In front of the barracks, there were many soldiers and many civilians. Gao Fuyuan stayed with the people who beat him, with a respectful look on his face: "Big brother, big brother, you can do well, when Commander Wu comes, you have to say something good to me, don't say bad things!" ”
The common man's chest was tall, his head was high, he was quite proud, he looked at Gao Fuyuan, and asked very strangely: "Why are you so afraid of Wu Jihua?" Did he punish you? ”
"Not really!" Gao Fuyuan was both admired and frightened, and said: "Big brother, don't you know how powerful Commander Wu is, he is this!" "The thumbs are so high that they are about to pierce the sky.
"He counts! He said that he would give us all the military pay, but wouldn't he have paid it all? He said that if he wants to serve in military law, he will definitely beat the military stick, and I don't dare to touch his old man's tiger whiskers! Big brother, please. Gao Fuyuan couldn't help but clasp his fists at the people: "Big brother, stealing chickens is really my fault, I apologize to you!" Apologies! ”
"Hey! It's not easy for you to match the army, you can't get by! The people were very sorry and said: "It's okay now, Commander Wu is here, you are just willing to come to the bitter end, and you don't have to worry about not receiving military salaries!" ”
"Big brother, lend you Chrysostom! Commander Wu is a good man! Commander Wu is here! When Gao Fuyuan saw Wu Ji coming, he couldn't help but straighten up, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a relative, and he was particularly excited.
Not only him, but not the soldiers who greeted him in front of the barracks?
"I've seen Commander Wu!" The soldiers saluted in unison, extremely respectfully.
"Excuse me!" Wu Ji waved his hand and asked with some surprise: "Today is our son of military training, how did my father come to be?" ”
"Commander Wu, you don't know, I'm here to thank Commander Wu."
The people who beat Gao Fuyuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "In the past, the soldiers liked to sneak dogs and take things from us. Since Commander Wu came, they didn't dare to pay back all the money they owed before! This brother Gao gave a higher price than the market. Commander Wu, you must not blame Brother Gao, he is also forced to do so! ”
Wu Ji looked at this person and was very surprised, could it be that Gao Fuyuan's fist was not ruthless enough, and you actually spoke for him like this?
Gao Fuyuan was both happy and grateful, and secretly pointed at this person, secretly praising him for saying well.
"Yes! Commander Wu, don't blame the army, they have to support their families, so they have to do it! Before Wu Ji could speak, many people surrounded him and pleaded for the soldiers.
Wu Ji looked at the people, all of them happy, followed by one or more soldiers, and surrounded them like stars. They are sincere, not fake, it should be Wu Ji's words that have played a role, asking the soldiers to pay off their debts, and the soldiers should be correct.
"Commander Wu, that's it! You're forbidden! From now on, don't dare to disobey your orders! Huangfu Song was beside Wu Ji and praised loudly: "This is the style of a famous general!" ”
"The wind of a famous general?" Wu Ji was stunned, Huangfu Song's praise was too high. At the moment, the eight characters have not been skimmed, and the troops have not been trained, so it is too early to talk about famous generals.
That's a good thing, though. Wu Ji's order, the soldiers regarded it as a holy decree, his order, don't dare not obey, this training has not yet begun, there is a good start!
Wu Ji talked with the people for a while, verified that the soldiers did not threaten the people, and then sent them back.
"Beat the drums!" Wu Ji entered the barracks and ordered loudly.
The drummers picked up the drumsticks and began to beat the drums of war.
"Knock knock!"
The earth-shattering drums of war rang out, shaking the ground and trembling.
Listening to the thunderous drums, Wu Ji's blood couldn't help but boil, and he was in an extremely good mood: "Today's training is good, the start is good, the order is forbidden, this queue is definitely good!" ”
Wu Ji couldn't help but think a little out of reality, and when a team of Song troops arrived, Wu Ji's enthusiasm suddenly came to naught, as if a basin of cold water was poured down, enthusiasm disappeared in an instant, his eyes widened, and he looked at the soldiers in front of him in disbelief!
