Chapter 442: Practice
Today, all the people here have come to join the army of their own free will. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info please remember that no one is forcing you to come. Xiaohu stood on the stage and lectured to these recruits. He held an iron horn in his hand, and he spoke word by word, speaking clearly, and speaking very slowly, so that everyone below could hear and understand.
'You were all selected to join the army. No matter what you joined the army for, I tell you today that the Left Army of Shence is definitely not like other armies, you can easily mess around, you can find someone to recruit, or you think that after you come in, you can easily play a place every day. ’
'Starting tomorrow, you will be practicing with the veterans of the Left Army. I can't stand it, get out early, because this is their daily training, or every day. The high treatment is not for you to have fun. Seeing that some people in the audience were serious and obedient, and some people didn't take it seriously at all, Xiaohu didn't mind, and continued, "In addition, please remember that after you join the army, you may go into battle at any time, and if you don't have this awareness, leave as soon as possible." ’
And if you don't want to leave your hometown, please leave, our Shence Army, although recruiting troops here, does not mean that they will be stationed here. ’
If you don't want to be far from your country, go home early. Because in the next few years, you may not be able to set foot in Shu one step. His words shook many people. Will you be away from home for many years? Speaking of fighting, it seems that they are still far away, and the Xichuan area has not been fighting for many years.
On the contrary, the uprooting of the country is still more serious. There are a lot of people who are reluctant to run this far. But there are not many people leaving at the moment, after all, they are all young people, more aggressive and impulsive, and many people want to leave here and go to other places to see and see.
After Xiaohu finished speaking, he saw that he was not going to leave much, so he called people and began to group these people. First of all, he retained several teams of veterans, well-trained veterans, as the main force. The others scattered to lead the recruits, the squadron leader.
In a team of recruits, two veterans were crammed into the squadron leader, serving as the captain and deputy squadron leader, leading seven recruits. Even if these veterans are very likely to have joined the army not long ago, they have fought a battle of Victoria, and they are also veterans.
In this way, five squadrons, forty-five people, formed a brigade. Among the five people in the final brigade, in addition to the law enforcement officer, the team leader, the deputy flag leader, and the two flag guards are all veterans who have participated in the Jiangnan crackdown on thieves and have really seen blood.
In addition to mixing the old and the new, we also try to scatter people from the same township and the same place. In each team, there are soldiers from Guanzhong, and there are also recruits from Jiangnan, of course, the most are recruited by Shudi.
Li Chen did this, of course, with useful intentions. In order to reverse a habit of the Chinese army. He wants to build an army that belongs to the Tang Dynasty and belongs to the country.
Li Chen didn't know how other dynasties were, he only knew that many armies were regional. Usually the people of that place, form an army. In the Tang Dynasty, take Wang Zhixing as an example, he would kill the army and purge the army on a large scale, just because he took Pengcheng with local soldiers and horses, left the country for too long, and the soldiers were tired of war.
In this case, not only Wang Zhixing appeared, many times, in many places, for example, in the Republic of China, many warlords and armies are still dominated by the people of a certain place, and where they get territory, they will recruit people wherever they want.
Such an army cannot be said to have no combat effectiveness, nor does it mean that this army will not be able to fight well if it leaves its homeland. But it's really not what he wants, he hopes to be able to recruit an army that mixes all over the world, this army can be pulled anywhere and fight for a long time.
In addition, he hopes to be able to break the kind of huddle behavior that uses the township as a bond. This kind of behavior can easily turn into a warlord.
Although no one specifically said so, Li Chen analyzed by himself that the commander-in-chief incidents often occurred in the Tang Dynasty feudal towns. Many times it is a kind of localism, and the soldiers in the same place have to be spontaneously hugged together to oppose the envoys sent by the imperial court. If there is a slight dissatisfaction, it is easy to chase the commander and become self-reliant.
It is impossible for him to be like Xuanzong, who emphasizes the outside over the inside, nor like the Song Dynasty, who emphasizes the inside over the outside. Everywhere there must be a garrison. He had a defensive plan and an offensive plan, and to achieve this plan, there would be defenders in the area.
In order to avoid this kind of behavior of grouping together because of localism, he felt that it was necessary to let the soldiers be mixed and not let them form a group on their own because of the factors in the township.
Even if an army is won in a certain place, because the locals have formed a group on their own, the marshal will not completely lose control. Because of this, it is easy to squeeze the outsiders into another regiment.
If you take the township as a link, then you will spontaneously divide people into local and non-local. It doesn't matter if those outsiders are from the same place or not, no matter where you come from, you are not local anyway.
In this way, the festival can make a gang and suppress a gang. It will not be completely hollowed out and finally expelled. Of course, in the future, he will abolish the Jiedu Envoy, at least he will not let the Jiedu Envoy have such a big power. However, such measures are still necessary.
Because even if the festival degree envoy is abolished, but after all, the precedent was opened early, if all the soldiers in one place are grouped, and they want to follow the example of their predecessors, then the festival degree envoy still has a chance to resurrect. Therefore, the best way is to try to use as many prongs as possible, from the foundation, so that the soldiers cannot be twisted into a single force.
That doesn't seem right. Shouldn't the army try its best to make everyone twist together, and need everyone's unity, but Li Chen did the opposite?
Of course not, this is Li Chen's worst prediction. Of course, Li Chen still has a way to unite them, and it is very stupid to let them form two factions of infighting.
It is not obvious at the moment, because of the small number of people. In the future, with the gradual expansion of the army, more people from all over the world will join the army. Since there are all over the world, there are groups in the north and south, and then there are several people in the group, not the whole team, or even the entire army.
Then Li Chen will use team activities and joint sitting, trying to make these people who seem alien to each other because of different accents and different living habits, become their own people, and let them twist into one.
In this way, this army will be considered the army of a country. Their eyes will not be narrowed to their own villages. I can really realize that the people around me come from all over the Tang Dynasty, and we are here because we are all Tang people.
When the grouping is completed, the next day, the training begins. Some of the recruits had already gotten up, most likely peasant children, and many were still asleep. The main and deputy squadron leaders, with big feet and the tail of the gun, vigorously wake people up. Then the morning exercise begins.
First of all, the school field was assembled, the squadrons were named, and Xiaohu came to the stage and shouted, "Before breakfast, you have to run twenty miles first." The first to arrive can have a double breakfast. In the end, I didn't have breakfast today. Another reminder, the order of arrival is to look at the whole team, even if you have the forty-nine first to arrive, the result is the one left, and in the end, that team is also the last. Now, let's get started. ’
It's all veterans, and when they hear the start, they start running. Some of the recruits hadn't woken up yet, and they were stunned in place when they were completely out of the situation, and some of them were more alert and followed the squadron leader directly and began to run.
'Go, what to run, what the Shence army looks like, who doesn't know.' Seeing that everyone had run away, a man who was in a flow of anger said.
It is, it is. ''I haven't slept enough.' "Let's go back to sleep again, and then see who won't let us eat, and we'll make a fuss together." That man's words were echoed by many people, and some people wanted to go back to sleep at that moment.
However, when they turned their heads, they saw Li Chengyi with a team of heavily armed soldiers, smiling at them, 'Do you run or don't run?' ’
Seeing this situation, some people felt that the signs were wrong, so they obediently turned around, chased the figure of the front team, and started running.
'If you don't run, you won't run, what. ', the one who spoke first just now, put on an attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Ye just doesn't run, what can you do, 'Ye joined the army to kill the enemy, not to run.' ’
'Do you say?' In a hurry, he actually came up with a set of big truths, turned his head to ask everyone, and won the support of everyone. He turned his head triumphantly, and was about to say something, but immediately hit him on the stomach.
It's really unclear now, Li Chengyi turned the head of the gun and directly hit him on the stomach with the tail of the gun, the pain made his face turn blue, covered his stomach, and half-bent over, "Kill, kill, veterans kill, veterans bully recruits." Come and see, everyone. ’
After taking a beat, he didn't recognize it, but he still had the strength to shout, and he didn't know how familiar he was with this set, but unfortunately, he didn't see the place clearly, where is this? It was a military camp, although it was just outside Jinguan City, in a newly built camp specially built for them.
Although he is not far from entering the official road of Jinguande, there are a lot of people coming and going, but few people will really come to meddle with his affairs.
As a result, he received a few blows, habitually trying to pull the masses to seek justice for him, but he was ruthlessly whipped. Li Chengyi took out a leather whip and whipped him fiercely, hard, hard, and rolled him all over the ground. In the end, it was directly hung up.
The person is not dead, and he can't be whipped after a few whips, but he is tied to a thick wooden stick, enjoying a sunny meal under the scorching sun, enjoying the comfort of the sun, although it is already autumn, but Shudi, the sultry heat is famous, and he is tied to a wooden stake, and this person will soon whisper and beg for mercy.
Then Li Chengyi was very humane, and let a soldier guard him beside him, on the one hand, to avoid being released privately, and on the other hand, to give him salt water regularly, so as not to really burn people to death.
And the stupid ones just now, still watching from the side, saw that the opportunity was not so fast, and when they saw this person's miserable situation, they also felt that something was wrong, and immediately turned around, and quickly followed the front team with the speed of embarrassing Liu Xiang and angry Bolt.
When everyone, whether they are running, walking, or even crawling back, have seen the ghost who was standing at the gate of the barracks as a benchmark, no matter how hard the training is, no one will dare to blow up the thorn. However, the next day, many people quit one after another. After a day of drilling, those ruffians were tortured unspeakably.
Xiaohu noncommittally let them quit, and then continued to fill the new recruits into the vacant team, or directly set up a new team. Continue to fill the numbers.
It's going to be so harsh, and there's no way to do it, it's mainly the Divine Army, it's really bad. Since being stationed in Beijing, most of its soldiers have come from scoundrels, and they are all people who slaughter people in the market.
The Shence military envoy who is responsible for recruiting soldiers of the Shence Army is widely recruited from traffickers. Accepted bribes from the people who did business in the market. bribes, so that they can find someone to do the business themselves. In this way, a lot of taxes and forced labor can be avoided.
The situation, not that no one wants to improve, but it is useless. The eunuchs in power were unwilling, and there were even Shence generals who recruited Cai Yong to replace those who were in the market, and they were driven away by the lieutenants of the Shence Army who were in power. How can such an army fight? Although because of this, Xiaohu and them are easy to blend into the Shence Army.
In fact, Ma Yi has already been very attentive to the Shence Army. Otherwise, you won't be able to pull out so many daring battles. Although it was defeated in the end, it almost succeeded. This is also the reason why Li Chen is unwilling to deal with those rebels casually, the whole is so rotten that it is not easy to have so many hundreds or nearly a thousand people.
Although the Shence Army is rotten, it costs a bribe to go in. bribery, but it can avoid forced labor and taxes, so it is inevitable that many people think that there is a big bargain in the sky, and they can do their best to join the army without bribery.
This situation was expected by Xiaohu as early as they could. The corresponding method is like this, leather whip and stick, and fierce training. It doesn't matter where you come from or why you come, anyway, as long as you pass the selection, let him in. After joining, we will use rigorous training to eliminate those who are not strong-willed, and eliminate those who are indiscriminate.
That's it, while training, I quit training. The goal is to recruit 10,000 people. However, this is also a little bit wrong, because they can withdraw freely, and they will raise it for another day. As a result, some unemployed vagrants seized the opportunity to sneak in every day for a full meal and then quit training in the evening of the same day.
In this regard, Xiaohu is not helpless. After identifying them, he set up a separate team for them, and after they had eaten a full meal, they were reprimanded in a very miserable manner. Trained until everyone even vomited out the overnight meal.
It's not over yet, and I have to continue training if I vomit. After training like this for two days, I didn't work hard anymore for fear of killing people, so I let them go.
These are all episodes. Xiaohu had to recruit 10,000 people after a month. However, there are still people who come to join the army. After asking for instructions, Xiaohu and they transferred some manpower, mixed with Chang'an, who was Xiaohu's younger brother, and set up another army in Victoria, the purpose of this army was to prepare for the future battle of Tubo and adapt to the plateau climate in advance.
In this way, it has been poured until the beginning of the spring of the second year, Xiaohu and they will go to Chang'an, and they will begin to prepare for the battle of Hehuang. However, plans did not change as quickly as possible. An incident disrupted their pace, and they had to take these 10,000 people to Hehuang, and Hehuang recovered the war and officially started the battle.
What happened? In February of the third year of Dazhong, the three prefectures of Tubo Qin, Yuan, Anle and Shimen surrendered, and the imperial court was shaken. (To be continued.) )
