Chapter 67: The Sorrowful Man Gui (Ask for Collection)
The Fenwu battalion has returned to the Beijing division in batches, and now one cavalry guard and two infantry guards are full. Zhu Youzhen is the commander of the Fenwu Battalion, but the training of the Fenwu Battalion is already on the right track, and he does not need to spend much time. He was worried about the other three battalions, especially Zu Dashou's Yaowu Battalion, Yuan Chonghuan's Xianwu Battalion, and Mangui's Cavalry Guard, these commanders from the Liaodong front, who could do everything.
The special combat team has now officially become Zhu Youzhen's personal guard, and Wang Mujiu often travels with Zhu Youzhen in person, and even Xu Yingyuan has to ask him for instructions if he wants to see Zhu Youzhen.
On the morning of this day, Zhu You checked out the large camp of the Fenwu Battalion and went to inspect the other battalions, and the first stop was Zu Dashou's Yaowu Battalion.
Zu Dashou was leading the soldiers to train the queue, and the soldiers suddenly came to report: "General, His Royal Highness King Xin has come down." Zu Dashou turned his head and saw that there were more than 100 cavalry, and they were about to arrive at the gate of the camp.
These more than 100 soldiers are all wearing shiny Mingguang armor, and the armor is covered with dark purple robes, and the first person is also Mingguang armor, but it is covered with white robes, which is Zhu Youzhen, the king of Daming Xin.
Zu Dashou took a few steps, walked out of the camp, shook his robe, and knelt outside the camp gate with a "poof": "Your subordinates see His Royal Highness King Xin!" ”
"Get up!" Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand to help, "Da Shou, how are the soldiers?" Can you adapt to the new training intensity? ”
"Back to Your Highness, the soldiers are okay. It's just ...... "Zu Dashou is struggling."
"Just how? Are the soldiers not under orders? "Zhu Youzhen came to see the Yaowu camp training for the first time, and I don't know what Zu Dashou made the soldiers look like.
"There is no problem with the physical skill training of the soldiers, but the queue training of His Highness, many soldiers are mixed up." Zu Dashou had a special headache about this, these soldiers were basically illiterate, it was difficult to distinguish between left and right, and there were often mistakes in training.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Zhu Youzhen remembered the old man's words again, the old man is really amazing, not only is literature, calligraphy, political methods, and philosophical ideas outstanding, but military thinking is unprecedented, I don't know how the old man said that these things are blended together.
Zhao Ji of Song Huizong had attainments in calligraphy and painting, and founded the "thin gold body", but the Northern Song Dynasty died in the Jin Kingdom; Li Yu likes to fill in a word and compose a song, so he lost the Southern Tang Dynasty. And the old man has so much achievement, but he still has built a new country. Without the guidance of the old man, he really didn't know how to train soldiers.
Now it doesn't matter if the soldiers are not used to it, as long as a problem is found, there is always a solution.
"Da Shou, you try to train specifically for left turns, and then train for right turns." It may be a good idea to repeat it many times, gradually forming a conditioned reflex in the soldier's brain.
"Yes, Your Highness. The subordinates must do so. Zu Dashou bowed down to Zhu Youzhen again.
"Da Shou, don't be too restrained. I'm just here to see that you are in charge of the soldiers' daily training. Zhu Youzhen felt funny, this ancestor Dashou was also the thorn in the head of the Liaodong Army, a small general, he dared to argue with Ji Liaojing. How did I get to Yaowu Camp and become like a little daughter-in-law.
"Yes, Your Highness." Zu Dashou is still serious. Who dares to argue with you for believing in the king? Last time, I told Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui that I would pour Zhu Youzhen down and give this young prince a dismount, who knew that Zhu Youzhen did not fall, and the three of them, together with Yang Du, who accompanied the wine, all fell to the ground one after another, falling all over their heads, but Zhu Youzhen was fine at all.
Later, when I thought about it, I felt that it was wrong, Zhu Youzhen was drunk early in the morning, and it seemed that as long as he put a little more effort, he was going to lie down, but as a result, they took turns to work hard, not only did they not bring down Zhu Youzhen, but they poured down their own people one by one.
Could it be that this is Zhu Youzhen's premeditation? But the three of them also reached a tacit understanding by looking at them temporarily, how did Zhu Youzhen know? Could it be that Zhu Youzhen is a prophet?
With such a person, it is better not to play with any hearts, it is better to be honest, at least before Zhu Youzhen's diorama is dismantled, he must do so.
Since you are willing to be polite, I can't help it. Zhu Youzhen chatted with Zu Dashou for a few more words, and then took Wang Mujiu and others to leave the Yaowu camp and go to the martial arts training camp and the Xianwu camp to inspect.
Yang is a proper person, and he may not be a good hand at fighting, but with Zhu Youzhen's manual and outline, Yang Du is meticulous in training. He had long heard about Zhu Youzhen's training of the Fenwu Battalion, so he didn't dare to be sloppy about any detail; Yuan Chonghuan was a civilian official and had read a lot of books, so when training soldiers, he often thought of using different methods to achieve the same goal. The soldiers they trained were all slightly ahead of Zu Dashou.
The last thing Zhu Youzhen inspected was Mangui's cavalry. Man Gui was leading more than 10,000 cavalry to train horses in the field, with the aim of improving the soldiers' ability to control horses.
Zhu Youzhen didn't alarm Man Gui, he just watched the training soldiers quietly outside the venue. Their original foundation was too poor, and some soldiers were directly promoted from infantry to cavalry, so Man Gui is still training their foundation. I don't know if the straightforward and irritable Man Gui can have the patience to keep practicing.
Man Gui finally found Zhu Youzhen, and more than 100 people stood outside the training ground, unless Man Gui was blind. He handed over the matter of training to his subordinates, and hurried over to see Zhu Youzhen, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Xin." Man Gui knelt down on one leg and gave a standard military salute.
"General Man, you're welcome, get up quickly!" Zhu Youzhen jumped off his horse and stood side by side with Man Gui. "General Man, what is the level of these soldiers?"
"Your Highness, these soldiers are simply tofu, let them go to the battlefield, and Jiannu can scatter them with one charge. They are just staying in Beijing to scare and scare the good people. Man Gui didn't care about Zhu Youzhen's face, his big mouth was not just for eating.
"General Man, because they lack horses, they don't have the riding and archery skills of Jiannu, and they can't complain about them. Now that we have horses and the training of you, a general from the Liaodong front, I believe that their level will improve very quickly. "Zhu Youzhen knows that the skills of cavalry can not be practiced in a day or two, but Jiannu has lived on horseback since he was a child, and he has practiced his riding and archery skills all his life. The Han people did not have this kind of living habit at all, and it was basically impossible to reach the level of Jiannu in large numbers.
But the cavalry of the Han people always has to have a beginning, and it doesn't matter if they are not the opponents of Jiannu alone, it doesn't matter, the population of the Han people is dozens of times that of Jiannu, as long as the strategy of consumption is used, the Jiannu can't consume the Han people, and the Han people still have firearms, as long as the advantages of the Han people are well used, Zhu Youzhen believes that defeating Jiannu is not a dream.
"Your Highness, if you want to train these soldiers and let them go to the battlefield to defeat Jiannu, it is better to let Jiannu die in the mountains and forests to be realistic." Man Gui glanced contemptuously at the soldiers who were training, and that look was even more strange than the Chinese men's football team winning the World Cup.
"General Man, are the soldiers of these four battalions about the same level?" Zhu Youzhen thought that the cavalry of the Fenwu Battalion had been trained for several months, and it should be better than the foundation of the other three battalions, but he didn't know if he would be able to enter the eyes of Mangui.
"Huh? Your Highness, the cavalry of the Fenwu battalion is much higher than the other three battalions, I don't know how many years they have been trained? After Zhu Youzhen's prompting, Man Gui remembered that the cavalry level of the Fenwu Battalion was indeed much higher. Now the cavalry of the fourth battalion is independent and has not been dispersed, so Man Gui is still a little impressed.
"A few years? You guess. Zhu Youzhen chuckled, being able to win the appreciation of Man Gui, a Mongolian descendant, Zhu Youzhen's confidence was even stronger.
"Look at their level, at least three years!" Man Gui has been in the army for many years and still knows the cavalry level of the Han people very well.
"Three months, to be exact. If they were given three years, they would be able to fight the battlefield with Jiannu. Zhu Youzhen ignored Man Gui's big eyes, and seemed to be narrating things that had nothing to do with him.
"Your Highness, is it really only three months? That's how it's trained? "How can Man Gui not believe that this Han Chinese can still surpass the Mongols in riding? Even the Mongols, from the beginning of contact with horses, will definitely not reach this level in three months.
"It's true. General Man, if you train according to this method, after three months, they will all reach this level. "Zhu Youzhen's training method is not to teach according to aptitude, not to vary from person to person, but mass production, no matter who the person, after the same method of training, although there are individual differences, but the whole will reach a certain level. And the very few soldiers who do not meet the standards should be eliminated.
"Your Highness is saying that after three months, the lowly rank can also train them to the current level of the Fenwu Battalion?" Man Gui's eyes were spinning, as if he was considering how many possibilities Zhu Youzhen's answer was.
"Of course, as long as you keep training like that every day. I'll come back then, and if you've reached your goal, I'll treat you to a drink. "Zhu Youzhen is light-hearted, he believes in Man Gui's ability, and those who have fought with Jiannu certainly know what kind of cavalry is needed.
"Your Highness, let's get rid of the matter of drinking!" Man Gui immediately cried and mourned his face, as if he had been burned by a fire, bitten by a snake and flooded, his eyes that were bigger than Sydney just now were wrinkled to only a thin line, and his waist was arched, if it weren't for the crowd, he would have wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy: "The humble duty is like a dead dog, lying in bed for two days." ”
"Haha, haha. When General Man was still afraid of alcohol, it was really a strange news. "Zhu Youzhen is happy, fighting with my brother, how can my brother be comparable to you ordinary people? Zhu Youzhen didn't look down on the soldiers, but Mangui's good wine and alcohol volume were well-known in Liaodong, and now he was afraid of this, Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood.
"Your Highness, to be honest, did Your Highness use a method that night?" Man Gui was unwilling, he had no rival in Liaodong for his own drinking, how could he be defeated in the hands of this underage king of letters? He must have done something, either by pouring wine out of sight, or by having drunk some kind of panacea beforehand.
Zhu Youzhen really drank the elixir, but this elixir is not a thing in the world, and he can't tell Man Gui clearly. "General Man, if you don't drink next time, General Man will arrange for personnel to search my body first to see if I have any methods?"
"Your Highness, it's still exempt, the next time you drink, you will only be responsible for pouring wine." Man Gui was actually frightened by Zhu Youzhen in the project he was best at, and he no longer had the courage to fight with Zhu Youzhen.
