Chapter 10: Wu Ji's Training (II)
No matter where you are, an upright and selfless person will always win the favor of others. Wu Ji's cancellation of the return to Yibing, this is the first time in the history of the Song Dynasty, no matter how much praise is overstated.
After a short period of shock, the soldiers praised loudly, and regarded Wu Ji as the master of the blue sky with a clean breeze on his sleeves. In their minds, only this kind of Qingtian lord with clean sleeves will cancel the return to Yi and not fill his pockets.
"Commander Wu, please rest assured, the small one will be done well! It must be done! Shang Yuan knocked his head a few times, and then he hurriedly got up, and instructed Hui Yi to drive away the carriage and mule cart, and asked him to change into a military uniform and report for duty. He himself, with a few people, rushed to end the return to Yi.
"Commander Wu is the master of Qingtian, we must follow Commander Wu and do a good job!"
The soldiers exchanged words and encouraged each other.
Wu Ji came to the gunman, looked at Li Mingchu, and asked, "Li Mingchu, where is your gun?" What about your armor? ”
"Commander Wu, it's all small that is bad, it's all small that is bad! A few days ago, Xiao Zi sold the gun. Li Mingchu smiled and spoke cautiously: "Commander Wu, you know, the little one is so poor that he can't live, so he has to sell it!" I want to have a baby! ”
He was poor, Wu Ji saw it with his own eyes, and he sold his equipment for guns to support his family, which was no problem. Wu Ji looked at these gunmen again and asked, "Have you sold your guns and armor?" ”
"Commander Wu, wise!" The soldiers waited for a long time before they answered, all of them were red, very embarrassed, and hung their heads down, wishing that there was a crack in the ground and immediately got in.
Wu Ji swept again, looked at the knife hand and the archer, these soldiers were all red, and they didn't dare to make contact with Wu Ji's eyes, dodging, like children who had done something wrong, as if they were afraid of punishing adults.
It seems that the sale of equipment is not Li Mingchu alone, nor is it a gunner, but the entire Conversion Army.
"Hey!" Wu Ji sighed and complained: "Why don't you sell yourself?" ”
"Commander Wu, I also want to sell my own, but our reputation for the army is too bad, and no one dares to buy it." Li Mingchu hesitated for a while, but still mustered up the courage to speak out.
Weapons are the second life of soldiers, and those who are soldiers have no weapons, which is a big joke, but it is presented in front of Wu Ji's eyes, and he has to accept this reality in front of him.
The law does not blame the public, besides, the soldiers are excusable, and Wu Ji has no way to criticize them, and asks, "What about the weapons in the warehouse?" ”
"Commander Wu, you don't know, there is only the bottom of the warehouse in the warehouse, and there are no weapons, and they are all sold to He Wanquan." The master book was stunned for a while, but still said it.
"Only the bottom of the warehouse?" Wu Ji had a black line, and he was weak again, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"It's true! Absolutely true! The chief bookkeeper was busy answering, very sure.
couldn't even reissue the weapon, Wu Ji really felt how serious Song Jun's [***] was. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, Wu Ji has the Wu military industry, and he is about to make a big deal of munitions, and the garrison must be the first object he wants to sell, without weapons, as long as there is Wu's military industry, he can be rearmed.
"Hmmm! In this matter, with the Wu military industry, everything is not a problem! Wu Ji can see the good side in the bad things, and he still has a lot to do: "Let me see your martial arts!" ”
"Commander Wu wants to see our martial arts, brothers, don't let Commander Wu down! Cheer up and play hard! When the soldiers heard this, they could not help but be in high spirits and their morale was high.
The spirit is good, looking at their appearance, there should always be a few brushes, Wu Ji couldn't help but look forward to it again.
"Brethren, I'm the first to go! Look at me! Li Mingchu was as excited as a crowing rooster, stretched out his big hand to a soldier with a gun, snatched the gun from his hand, held it tightly in his hand, took a breath, and strode out: "Which brother, help to get a basin of water!" ”
"I'll go!" A soldier answered with a loud voice and trotted to fetch water.
"Li Mingchu, how are your marksmanship?" Wu Ji blinked his eyes, looked at Li Mingchu's excited look, and couldn't help but look forward to it: "Practice well, there will be a reward!" ”
"Commander Wu, don't worry! Speaking of this marksmanship, hehe, the little one is not bad! Li Mingchu clasped the middle of the gun with both hands, exhaled, and roared: "Get up!" ”
A gun is like a kite, dripping and turning, and a big gun flower appears, whirring and windy, so not violent.
"Good!" The soldiers cheered, and they were very excited, and their eyes were wide as if they were looking at a diorama.
"That's your marksmanship?" Wu Ji was a little incredulous, and his eyes almost hit the ground.
"Hey, hey!" Li Mingchu was very confident, and smiled: "Commander Wu, this is just the beginning, the activity is just a muscle!" You wait and see, when the water comes, you can't splash the water! ”
Just when Li Mingchu bragged, the soldier who fetched water brought the water, and Li Mingchu roared loudly: "Splash!" Splash! Be ruthless! If there's a little bit of water on my body, I'm a seed! Commander Wu, you see! ”
Suddenly, a gun was coiled up and the wind was loud, as if the blower was running. The soldier scooped up the water and threw it at Li Mingchu, and a huge water curtain covered Li Mingchu in it.
"Whoa!" After a burst of water, the water curtain disappeared, and the gun was smashed into water droplets, splashing everywhere.
"Good! Good! Good! The soldiers applauded in unison, as if they had won a great victory, and the sound shook through the air.
"Come again! Again! Li Mingchu became even more energetic and shouted. The soldiers kept splashing water, and Li Mingchu danced his spear hard until he was a little out of breath, then he stopped, his body was dry, and he was stunned that there was not a drop of water.
As soon as he put down the gun, his head was raised, his chest was straight, and he was very proud, like a winning rooster, looking at Wu Ji. That means, praise me, praise me!
"It's rare to splash water without entering. However, if you play like this, you can kill the Liao Dog Pan? Wu Ji didn't have a trace of smile, and his face was solemn: "The key to spearmanship is not to tend, but to stab and stab!" Be quick and ruthless, one shot is deadly! ”
Wu Ji has never been on the battlefield, let alone in the army, but even so, Wu Ji can also see that the army training of the Song Dynasty is not in the law. For example, this gun is not practiced like this, no matter how well the plate is made, no matter how big the gun is, it is useless to splash water.
It's too flowery!
"But, I've always practiced like this!" Li Mingchu was a little unconvinced, he worked so hard, Wu Ji didn't applaud.
"That's how the gun works!" Huangfu Song stepped over, held a gun in both hands, and stabbed it out, like thunder and lightning, with the sound of whirring wind, very powerful, and smashed several stones into the air.
"Good marksmanship!" Wu Ji praised loudly.
"Commander Wu is right, the spear skills used on the battlefield are mainly stabbing and stabbing! You have to stab fast, you have to stab accurately, you have to stab hard! Playing around, not suitable for battlefield fighting, that's running the rivers and lakes! From today onwards, I will teach you how to shoot! After Huang Fu Song got Wu Ji's consent, he took over the matter.
Huangfu Song's martial arts, Wu Ji has seen it, and having him teach gunnery will definitely make the gunner's combat power not weak.
Next, Wu Ji continued to check and came to the conclusion: First, the training of the Song army was not in a good way, and there were many flowery things, so the training method had to be reformulated.
The second is that the mode of combat is single, the gunner can only use the gun, the archer can only use the bow, the knife hand can only use the knife, and the rest will not use any of them.
If you are on the battlefield, once the enemy rushes into your side, the archers can only wait for death. When the enemy is still far away, the swordsmen and gunners can only wait, wasting their fighters and not bending their bows and arrows. Swordsmen and gunners can also shoot enemies if they are skilled in archery when they charge.
Third, the equipment was insufficient, the specifications were different, and the quality was uneven, so Song Jun had to be replaced with a batch of equipment.
This point is the easiest for Wu Ji to solve, with the Wu Workers' Army here, this is easy to do, and it is also the most urgent. How do you train without equipment?
Fourth, the organization is weak, the people are superfluous, the military orders are not smooth, and the transmission is too slow. This can be done simply by streamlining institutions and reducing the number of non-combatants.
After Wu Ji's reforms, the Converted Garrison was finally on the right track and began training.
A military training that was completely different from that of the Song Dynasty kicked off in the Conversion Army and had a far-reaching impact.
Later generations praised it as "Wu's Art of Training", which was highly respected by the great writer Lu You.
