In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Wang Boyan suggested that the volunteers move to the Daimyo Mansion, which had more abundant grain stocks, and Zhao Gou thought so. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Gou knew that Zong Ze was obsessed with rescuing the driver, and hypocritically said that his parents, brothers, wives and daughters were all in Bianjing, in fact, his sincerity was also to sacrifice his life and forget to die to fight with the gold thief, helplessly, one person could not defeat the 200,000 cavalry of the Jin army, and the army had to eat, be well-fed, and be well-trained. Therefore, now you can't face to face with the golden people. After explaining, Zhao Gou said again, "Zong Shuai, the matter is man-made, not God-given. If the Jin people don't let the imperial brother return to the city, we really have to go to the rescue, but if we go to rescue it now, we can't save it, we should first send someone to understand the situation inside the golden camp, understand the imperial brother's residence, and guard arrangements, and then wait for the opportunity to rescue, don't rush to rob it. ”

Song Ze sighed, "Bianliang is in danger, if you don't send troops immediately, how will the annals of history evaluate my generation?" ”

Zhao Gou listened to Zong Ze's words, and couldn't help but think of the last battle of the Southern Song Dynasty, before Lu Xiufu committed suicide by jumping into the sea with the little emperor on his back, he also said similar words, he sighed, "Zong Shuai, how future generations evaluate it mainly depends on whether we will succeed in the future." If God bless the Great Song Dynasty, the history books will comment on me like Zhou Bo and Chen Ping of the Western Han Dynasty; If there is a change in the mandate of heaven, it will probably be evaluated as Lian Po and Lin Xiangru; However, if you rush to Bianliang at this time, the annals of the Thousand Autumn Dynasties will only put my generation side by side with Zhao Kuo, Ma Jian and others! ”

Zong Ze listened, frowned and was silent for a while, pondered for a long time, and finally said again, "What the generalissimo said is very true, we should indeed practice diligently, integrate the team of Qinwang from all over the country, and fight to the death with the gold thief in the future." Lao Chen has been interrogating the Jin people captured by the generalissimo in Taihang Mountain, and learned that the Jin army is very unbearable in the summer heat. In the opinion of the old minister, this time the Jin people will retreat again in March and May at the latest. When the Jin people retreat, the garrison will inevitably be lax, and we can ambush in advance on the main road to rescue the official family. After speaking, seeing that Zhao Gou did not react, he added, "The generalissimo can hand over this matter to the old minister." ”

Zhao Gou felt that Zong Ze's plan was quite reliable, and nodded and praised against his will, but he was very bitter in his heart, and said Zong Ze, do you love Song Huizong and Song Qinzong so much? Why can't you see that the real Virtuous Lord is here?! It's really a loyal minister who has abused me thousands of times, and I treat a loyal minister like my first love.

After the discussion, the internal meeting between the three of them broke up. Wang Boyan was responsible for preparing for the transfer of the entire army of the Volunteers to the Daimyo's Mansion; Zong Ze stayed, continued to recruit and select volunteers, and was responsible for the garrison of Cizhou and Xiangzhou, and selected clever scouts (spies) to send them to the necessary way for the Jin army to retreat; And Zhao Gou's job is to initially establish the establishment of the Volunteer Army.

There are more than 7,000 volunteers, and the commanders of the 10 and 100 are gradually established according to the increase in the number of people, but there should also be a general leader of the 100 people and above. Zhao Gou has recently learned a lot of military knowledge from Song Dynasty officers like Feng Yuan and Zhao Guang'an, and now, according to the custom of the Song Dynasty, the five hundred-man team is organized into a battalion, and the "commander" is responsible; Every five battalions are grouped into one box, and the "commander" is responsible for it. According to the need, Zhao Gou appointed fifteen "commanders" in one go (among them, Shi Erlang was the commander of the guard battalion, Zhou Hang was the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Yang Yaowen, who was born as a fisherman, was the commander of the sailor battalion). Originally, Zhao Gou also planned to appoint three "commanders", but after all, he had limited experience, and besides Yue Fei, he was not sure who else was suitable. Therefore, Zhao Gou simply appointed himself as the commander of the capital, saying that after arriving at the Daimyo's Mansion, the volunteers would be trained in the form of military exercises, and at that time, the three "commanders" with the highest victories would become the commanders of the capital.

When Zhao Gou announced this decision in the big tent, Shi Erlang and Qiu Shi stood behind him as personal guards, and the remaining fourteen commanders stood in front of him. Zhao Gou said as he looked around at the expressions on the faces of the commanders, and saw that among the fourteen commanders, thirteen had bright eyes, but Yue Fei wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to say something. When other people have ideas, Zhao Gou can ignore them, but Yue Fei has an idea, and he can't ignore it, so Zhao Gou waved his hand to Yue Fei and said, "Yue Qing, what's wrong with you, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Yue Fei arched his hand and said, "Back to the commander, the last general is thinking, the volunteers will continue to have new people to join, if there are new people, how should the establishment be arranged, and the combat effectiveness is the best?" ”

Zhao Gouxin said that it was worthy of Yue Fei, the vision is long-term, he rubbed his chin that had not grown a beard yet, and saw that Zhao Guangan, who was originally the head of the Xiangzhou official army, was eager to try, he smiled slightly, made a gesture to Zhao Guangan, and said, "Commander Zhao, tell me what you think." ”

Zhao Guangan said, "Back to the marshal, according to the experience of the last general, the combat effectiveness of the new recruits is the worst, so it is best for the new recruits to join the original establishment and mix with the veterans, which can not only lead the new with the old, but also facilitate management." When the number of the first battalion reached 800, the first battalion was split into two battalions, and the commander was promoted to deputy commander. ”

At this time, Liu Bin cast an expectant look at Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou nodded to him, and Liu Bin said, "Back to the boss, Commander Zhao's suggestion is very good." However, the last general believes that although this arrangement method is temporarily strong in combat effectiveness, in the long run, it is not conducive to the army, because under such an organization, it is difficult for the generals among the new recruits to stand out. ”

Zhao Gou listened to Liu Bin's words, became interested, leaned in the direction of Liu Bin, and listened carefully.

Liu Bin said, "Recruits and veterans are mixed, and the result is naturally that recruits obey veterans, and veterans obey veterans." In this way, if an excellent soldier wants to become a ten-captain or centurion, he doesn't know how many battles he has to go through. With no eyes on his guns, he was probably killed before he was discovered. ”

Zhao Guang'an's suggestion was opposed by Liu Bin like this, and his face was displeased, but in front of Zhao Gou, he didn't dare to attack, his old colleague Han Yuan understood it from the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile on the side, "Then dare to ask Commander Liu, what is your suggestion?" ”

Zhao Gou saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart, it seems that Liu Bin's proposal is indeed very critical, in addition to the fact that it is difficult for new recruits to come forward, there are also veterans who join forces to squeeze on new recruits together, such as the current Zhao Guangan and Han Yuan. So, Zhao Gou raised his hand to Liu Bin and motioned for him to continue.

Liu Bin said, "When the last general was a child, he followed his father in business in the Western Regions, and he heard the story of the Great Qin army. In the Great Qin army, each lineup is divided into young soldiers, middle-aged soldiers, and adult soldiers. The last general thought that the Volunteers could follow suit, and each battalion was formed in the form of a youth team, a middle-age team, and an adult team, and each team had a centurion. ”

Zhao Gou laughed when he heard Liu Bin talk about the Great Qin army, and he suddenly felt that maybe the person in this big tent could understand him the best was Liu Bin. People have traveled in Europe and Central Asia since childhood, and they also know about the Roman legions! Zhao Gou nodded, pointed at Liu Bin and said, "Reasonable, very reasonable." It's just that now, our volunteers are actually all youth teams, but in the future, there will naturally be a middle-aged team and an adult team. At the end of the day, the recruits who had been trained as recruits joined the 500-man battalion in the form of a 100-man youth team, which was led by the commander-in-chief. If the number of battalions exceeds the standard, or is insufficient, the commander is responsible for the deployment. After speaking, Zhao Gou looked at Yue Fei again and said, "Yue Qing, what do you think of this approach?" ”

Yue Fei thought for a moment, smiled and arched his hand, and said loudly, "The generalissimo is thoughtful. ”
