In the military marshal's room in the Beida camp, Zhao Jun was in a high position, and his face was gloomy.

"It is not good for the subordinates to strangle the soldiers, please punish the Hou Ye."

Tang Li, Lu Ze, and Yu Ziqi bowed down together, and at the same time pleaded guilty.

"Now there are only 30,000 horses, and you can't restrain them, how can Ben Hou rest assured that more soldiers and horses will be handed over to you in the future."

After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but bow their heads, their faces were ashamed and abnormal, they were not from a simple family, they had a family history, whether it was martial arts or the art of war, they had an advantage over ordinary people, but the first time they led the troops, there was a mess.

Zhao Jun closed his eyes and said slowly: "Get up, I can't blame you all for this incident, I was careless." ”

This time it happened too suddenly, and although several people were proficient in the art of war and were good generals in the future, they were now leading the troops for the first time, and it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes, so it would be good to be familiar with them.

After hearing this, the three of them stood up apologetically and stood on either side with their heads bowed.

After a while, Zhao Jun took out another roll of bamboo slips and said: "This is the basic physical training method of soldiers, you can use it for reference, no matter what kind of soldier, physical strength is the first." ”

This scroll of bamboo slips was just completed by Zhao Jun, and most of what was written was seen on the Internet in his previous life, some basic methods of physical training for modern soldiers, such as weight-bearing running, frog jumping, punching sandbags, walking on the balance beam, etc.

Tang Li stepped forward to take the bamboo slip, and then the three of them watched together.

At a cursory glance, the three of them couldn't help but show surprise on their faces, ancient soldiers rarely had physical training, most of them focused on training fighting skills, they had never heard of these methods of Zhao Jun, but they could take a peek at the leopard, guess one or two, physical fitness went up, and the fighting skills naturally improved.

At this time, Zhao Jun said: "In addition, under your own total, various competitions of physical fitness, fighting, and cooperation are held regularly every year, and the rewards are heavier and the punishments are ruthless, so you don't have to be stingy with money." ”

"This is a good way, not only to encourage the soldiers to train actively, but also to sharpen their tacit understanding, and at the same time to solve the disagreement between the Qi people and the Qin people. Yu Ziqi agreed.

Finally, Tang Li asked again: "How should the cooperation of the arms be arranged?" This point still needs to be decided by the Hou Ye. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Jun thought for a moment and said: "Originally, the 10,000 people of the horse gang were still left as cavalry, and they were trained to fight immediately, and the Qin and Qi people should be mixed, 3,500 people should be trained as crossbowmen, 1,500 people should be trained as chariot soldiers, and the rest of the men and horses will all be spearmen, and the other 5,000 county guards will also join the training sequence." ”

"A single training to fight right away? I'm afraid this won't work, and besides, we have 1,500 chariots, and we should have 4,500 chariots. Yu Ziqi asked suddenly.

Now because the stirrup has not yet come out, so the cavalry is only used as an auxiliary army, the biggest use is just to hurry, and in the melee, most people will dismount and choose to fight on foot, because there is no stirrup and saddle, then you have to hold the reins with one hand, the legs between the belly of the horse, and finally only one hand can fight, not to mention the power, but also a waste of physical strength.

Even the members of the horse gang can only barely slow down their horses and open their bows, or charge into battle on horseback, but in the end they have to dismount and fight.

Therefore, when several people heard Zhao Jun say that a single training would be fought immediately, they were a little surprised.

As for the chariots, there are two-horse chariots or horses, and the tradition is to equip them with three people, one person in the middle is responsible for driving the car called "Goshi", one person on the left is responsible for long-distance shooting called "shooting" or "multi-shooting", and one person on the right is responsible for close-range hand-to-hand combat called "Rong You".

In this way, 1,500 chariots were indeed equipped with 4,500 people, and they did not understand why Zhao Jun only needed 1,500 men, and what was the use of chariots that only drove the carriage without attacking ability.

"Do what Ben Hou says, and you will understand later." Zhao Jun is not easy to explain, stirrups and saddles are something he wants to use as a magic weapon to win, and it can't be exposed yet.

As for the chariot, after the advent of the stirrup, the field role of the chariot was small, and it was not as cheap to build a chariot as it was to train a cavalry, so in the end the chariot would be gradually eliminated, and at most it would be used to defend the city in the future, and fight in places with open plains outside the city.

And Zhao Jun planned to convert the chariot into an ironclad car for the infantry to open the way and charge the battle, so only one imperial chariot was enough.

It's just that the ironclad car has not yet been developed, and it is inconvenient for Zhao Jun to say it clearly.

When they heard this, they didn't ask more, but nodded their heads in agreement.

In the end, Lu Ze suggested: "Master Hou, there are many bandits in Linzi County and the two counties next to it, and there are many goods, so it is better for us to suppress bandits from time to time, so as to train the troops, and the goods collected can make up for the loss of the march." ”

Tang Li also nodded after hearing this: "Yes, in recent years, the number of bandits in various counties has increased, and the local troops are insufficient, and the bandits are powerless, if we make a move, we can not only gain popularity, but also give an explanation to the court, and no one will say that the Hou Ye does not act, so as to establish prestige in the court." ”

Zhao Jun's eyes lit up after hearing this: "This attention is good, soldiers who have not seen blood are always not real soldiers, in the future, you will take turns to send troops to suppress bandits, and after winning the battle, Benhou will also declare your merits to the imperial court, but remember, the momentum must be huge, and the banner of Benhou will also be marked, otherwise it will not be effective." ”

"No." Except for Tang Li, who didn't care about fame and fortune, among the three of them, they were all a little excited after hearing this, and the suppression of bandits was also considered a meritorious service, so they would have a chance to get the title.

In the end, Zhao Jun left Yu Ziqi and let Tang Li and Lu Ze go first.

"I have something to discuss with you." Zhao Jun smiled.

Yu Ziqi was stunned and said, "Master Hou, please speak." ”

Zhao Jun said: "That's the case, I want to establish a logistics baggage battalion, overall management, and at the same time responsible for the management of merit records and other sundries, I mean let Yu Ji recruit some female soldiers to be competent, I don't know what you think?" ”

In fact, every army in the Qin Dynasty had a baggage battalion, but it was assigned to the hands of each partial general, and it was distributed by the partial future, while the idea of the Zhao army was to distinguish the baggage battalion from the army and form a separate system.

However, since then, the baggage battalion will be responsible for very heavy things, and the generals in the army will definitely have no time to take care of them.

Therefore, Zhao Jun thought of Yu Ji, a woman is naturally careful in her work, and Zhao Jun also wanted to let female soldiers learn how to deal with simple sword wounds in the future, as a military doctor on the march.

Although Zhao Jun can go directly to Yu Ji in this matter, Yu Ji will not refuse if he wants to, but it involves etiquette, after all, Yu Ji is a person with a father and a brother, and as the head of an army, dealing with interpersonal relationships is also a compulsory course.

"Co-ordinated management? I'll go back and discuss it with my father and sister, and it should be fine. Yu Ziqi immediately promised.

Zhao Jun smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news." ”

On the same day, Yu Ziqi went home directly, Yu Sheng was a little surprised after hearing it, but he didn't have any opinions, it all depended on Yu Ji's meaning.

Yu Ji was pleased after hearing this, she had a soft appearance, but her self-esteem was very strong, she didn't want to be a vase, and she didn't want to be Zhao Jun's oil bottle, Zhao Jun could let her do such a big thing, she was naturally willing, but at the end of the day, she was afraid that she would not do well, so she went to the Hou Mansion the next day and asked Zhao Jun for advice.

Early in the morning, Zhao Jun was instructing Wang Shan and the four of them to practice martial arts, and then the four of them were going to teach Tie Wei, and Hu Hai was also on the side, but he was practicing sledgehammer with Bo Lang......

Zhao Jun saw that Yu Ji was coming, so he took her to the backyard, when Yu Ji said that he was afraid that he would not do well, Zhao Jun only had good words to comfort, and then said the concept and main purpose of overall management, Yu Ji only had some confidence after listening.

Immediately, Zhao Jun asked people to recruit female soldiers in the city, giving preferential treatment, and without them going to the battlefield, there must be people who are willing to come.

In the last month, after everything in Linzi was on the right track, Zhao Jun was completely relieved, except for some important matters for him to decide, basically every day is to study and practice martial arts, or guide Tiewei to practice martial arts, and everything in Linzi City is developing in an orderly manner and gradually moving towards prosperity.

Spring and autumn came, time flickered, and more than six years passed.

This year came to February of the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor, 210 B.C.

The prelude to the great era is slowly opening.
