Chapter 0759. Military reform
The princes of the beacon opera said that King Zhou You and Bao Xi, the mediocre King Zhou You got the praise of the beauty, but the beauty of Bao Xi was miserable, but he didn't like to laugh, in order to make her laugh King Zhou You really tried his best, and even did not hesitate to light the beacon wolf smoke that can only be lit when the foreign invasion was incurred. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
The uncles and princes from other places thought that Haojing was invaded, so they panicked and left everything and led a large army to support, but they hurried to the capital but there was not even a ghost shadow.
Standing on the head of the city and watching the princes walk around one by one, the soldiers and vehicles were scattered, and they looked confused, and the cold beauty really laughed out loud, and saw the old pervert Zhou Youwang drooling.
Later, in order to win a smile from the beauties, King Zhou You repeated the old trick several times, and the princes of the Zhou Dynasty who had been played several times no longer believed in King Zhou You, and no one came to support the beacon fire, but one day Dog Rong really hit the pickaxe capital, no matter how desperately the king of Zhou You lit the beacon fire, the princes no longer believed it, and finally the pickaxe capital was broken, the king of Zhou You was killed, and the Western Zhou perished.
Mobilizing tens of thousands of main forces, running more than 30 kilometers at night, to fight a group of scarecrows, is really similar to the princes of the Beacon Theater.
However, this is a test of the art of leadership, with Li Jie's order, the eyes of more than 10,000 soldiers in the front row were straightened, and more than a dozen carts were pushed in front of the whole army, and they were opened together, and the white silver in it swayed the eyes of the soldiers.
The Tang army is a government soldier, the distribution of government soldiers, exempt from certain taxes, but swords, guns, armor and horses need to be prepared, the standing army of Fujian is a step higher than the Tang Dynasty, not only the tax is comprehensive, the government also arranges special personnel to help cultivate the fields, and there is an annual salary every year, and the money is several times a year.
This is a silver coin with white flowers, at this time the silver price is still very high, one and a half taels, it will be paid for half a year, listening to the meaning of the King of Min, it is to be sent to himself and others, ran for half the night, cut wood for a while, and earned half a year's salary, who is not happy?
Sure enough, Li Jie did not disappoint his soldiers, and after showing the silver, he announced loudly: "The soldiers of Zuo Wuwei marched the fastest, the most neat lineup, and the least number of stragglers, and the first to enter the enemy's army, the greatest achievement!" Reward the whole army, people give two silver ingots, Guanning iron cavalry formation is neat, do not panic, reward a silver ingot, a string of copper coins, although the rest of the army is not so good, but the battle is not chaotic, obey the order and be cool, reward a silver ingot. ”
After saying the reward, Li Jie's face suddenly turned cold again, and he shouted solemnly: "The other right guard army is chaotic, and the number of people left behind is as much as a group, and the right guard general Ge Shunamu will be fined for one month, and the whole army will be fined 500 push-ups before breakfast!"
Except for the unlucky right guard holding a big silver coin with a sad face, the more than 80,000 troops holding a big coin with a bright one all smiled and showed their big teeth, and all the grievances and inconsistencies just now were thrown to the back of their heads.
This is the art of leadership, if King Zhou You was also a beacon once and rewarded the princes with a large sum, it is estimated that I don't know how many times I was deceived, and the princes would have been fooled with joy.
One by one, the guards carried the silver boxes around the ranks, and seeing that most of them had regained their sharpness, Li Jie's face with his back to Chaoyang suddenly became serious and cold again, and he suddenly roared in a dull voice.
"Do you know why Lone is tossing you all this way?"
Under the spread of twelve copper horns, Li Jie's voice almost covered the entire army, and hundreds of lieutenants were still repeating Li Jie's words in their own phalanx.
If they had known, they wouldn't have felt wronged just now.
didn't think of an answer, just paused, Li Jie yelled in a deep voice.
"Because Lone wants you all to live!"
"Lone has fought the Turks, faced the Black Water Eagle, and fought the Arabs, Lone knows the horror of these nomads! Once we arrive at the battlefield in the Middle East, our enemies may rely on their mobility to attack you at any time, place, and position, and Lone wants you to be prepared at all times, and when you return from the Central Asian battlefield, you will return with honor and wealth, not Lone to hand over bloody military medals to your families! ”
After listening to Li Jie's roar, all the officers and soldiers present couldn't help but be stunned, and in a full time of incense, almost all of them spontaneously stood up from the ground, put their right hands heavily on their chests, and roared loudly.
"Swear to repay His Highness's great kindness!"
Looking at this scene, Li Jie smiled again.
Although the blood was full of enthusiasm in the morning, the meal still had to be eaten, Bacheng County sent fresh seasonal vegetables, and the pigs and cattle that were not eaten last night, the whole army ate a breakfast was still quite sweet, especially while eating, listening to the right guard general's chicken head crooked face with the whole army doing push-ups.
Although they didn't sleep all night, but after breakfast, the army still marched to the southwest, who made them soldiers?
This trip is still accompanied by Jieyu Pei Ying, Hu Qian'er, and there is also a Hou Xianniang, Li Jie also officially sent an order to the imperial court to start the conquest of Central Asia, but this time he did not take the lead in the march, Li Jie hid in his spacious and gorgeous chariot.
On the boxy big table, there are a bunch of clay sculpture soldiers, including cavalry, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, crossbowmen, everything, surrounded by such a bunch of soldiers, Li Jie, the king of Fujian, Wang Xuance, the left servant of the Fengge, the secretary of the military department, the general Li Ji, Xue Rengui, the head of the march of the Chinese army, and the head of the march of the rear army, Hei Zhi Changzhi, and several other bigwigs of the Fujian * world sat together seriously.
The arrival of Li Ji and Li Daozong, veterans of the Tang Army, after all, brought something new to Fujian, that is, the mixed formation of arms.
In this era, the Tang Dynasty almost applied the "Li Weigong Military Law" left by Li Jing, in which the army establishment Li Jing once listed the establishment of the army in detail.
The general went out to the battle, awarded 20,000 soldiers, divided into seven armies, 14,000 soldiers, 6,000 baggage soldiers, including 4,000 Chinese troops, 2,800 internal soldiers, 50 people as a team, a total of 56 teams, 400 crossbowmen, 400 archers, 1,000 horse soldiers, 500 jumping soldiers, and 500 odd soldiers.
This kind of military establishment ran through almost all the wars in the early and middle Tang Dynasty, of which 20,000 is indefinite, but the ratio of soldiers to baggage soldiers has been handed down, such as the battle of Dafeichuan fought between Xue Rengui and Tubo in history, Xue Rengui's front army of 30,000 was all soldiers, and Guo Zhifeng's rear army of 20,000 was basically baggage soldiers.
This point is basically inherited by the Fujian State, every time it goes to war, the Fujian army is basically the main force of the Sixteen Guards mixed with a number of local government soldiers, and the proportion of cavalry, spearmen, and crossbowmen is also similar to Li Weigong's art of war, but Li Jie is a self-contained family after all, and he still hasn't seen some secrets within the Tang Army, and he discovered them after Li Ji's arrival.
Last night's attack was not only a whim, not only a military exercise prepared for the next war against the nomads, but also a testing ground for verifying Li Ji's reforms, in which Zuo Wuwei was in accordance with the new method of training, and the other four guards were the traditional Fujian State establishment.
Maybe it's because I'm used to playing games in my previous life, and Li Jie's army is fixed between the arms, for example, a team of 50 people are all crossbowmen, or a brigade of 100 people are all lancers or sword and shield hands, such a preparation seems to be concise and bright, but the reality is not a game after all, for example, last night, the general sent an order to the captain, and the captain had to run before and after to find the captain, the regimental rate, and the team rate to execute the order, and the efficiency of the order was naturally worse.
And the left guards of the Hun, each team has fifteen spearmen and lance soldiers, twenty crossbowmen and archers, and the jumping soldiers and sword and shield men include fifteen team rates, in the process of marching, each team has been accustomed to spearmen in front, crossbowmen in the back, as soon as the general issued an order, the commander who heard the order could directly order the crossbowmen in his team to step forward, which greatly improved the efficiency compared to other guards.
Later generations of the Ming Dynasty Qi Jiguang's Qi family army is about this method of warfare, Qi family army famous mandarin duck array is the front for the rattan brand, the long card hand cover, the back for the wolf, spearman, long-distance attack, and then the bird hand is responsible for long-distance attack, the formation of the muddy formation, four thousand Qi army, in the long-term peace of the Wanli Dynasty defeated 150,000 various enemy troops, the record is close to terrifying.
However, although there are advanced tactics, but the living army is not a rigid unit in the game after all, a team, the brigade has been an army for a long time, and there is already a sense of trust and tacit understanding between the sergeant and the sergeant, and some people are still friends with each other, the life and death brothers of the Chrysanthemum Covenant, if they are split into new units before the war, it will not affect the combat effectiveness, it is really difficult.
The carriage was speeding on the asphalt road, and on the car, looking at the clay figure model in front of him and a large number of sergeant rosters, Li Jie couldn't help frowning.
Within a few days in a row, while marching, a large transfer of blood began to be carried out in the Fujian army, and before arriving in Punjab, almost all of the four and 40,000 professional soldiers were tossed around.
Just when Li Jie racked his brains to think about how to carry out military reform in terms of preserving combat effectiveness, thousands of miles away from the Red Sea coast, a Fujian Dafu ship also docked, on the cement port, a few meters long shore escalator was put down, followed by a large group of merchants, Li Que and Wu Yuanshuang, who were wearing standard armor, and dozens of Praetorian Guard knights slowly disembarked.
"Coming back?"
Smelling the heat in the air and looking at the endless yellow sand Gobi behind the city in the distance, Li Que couldn't help but raise his hand to his chest, clenched his fists, and muttered with emotion.
This kung fu, on the other side of the dock, suddenly a large group of soldiers came over neatly, surrounded by a long-bearded general about forty years old, looked at him from a distance, Liu Renliang quickened his pace, and arrived in front of Li Que with a smile.
"Lieutenant Lee, welcome to Port Suez!"
