Chapter 340: Choosing a General
readx;
In the Song Dynasty, the so-called forbidden army did not specifically refer to the emperor's guards, and the troops in some places were also called the forbidden army. The reason for the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is very simple, just as the generals did not have their own troops, the army of the Song Dynasty did not have their own permanent defense areas.
Chen Yuan's 3,000 men and horses were drawn from various armies by Renzong, and their physical fitness was not bad, and they were definitely elite in terms of force alone.
According to the previous practice of the Song Dynasty, after a new general took over his new troops, the first thing he did was to install some of his cronies in the middle of the troops. This will allow you to get to know the unit as quickly as possible, and you can also ensure that someone will resolutely carry out your orders during the battle.
It's a pity that Chen Yuan's personal soldiers are all Jurchens, Chen Yuan knows that if he really arranges these Jurchens into this army to be a small leader, then these soldiers will be unacceptable, and the entire camp may be blown up like this!
The three thousand soldiers in front of them were standing very neatly, their armor was brand new, and the weapons in their hands were also shiny! They raised their heads one by one, but on their bodies, Chen Yuan always felt that something was missing!
He knew that these people were less than the wolf surname!
They stood there straight, just to show their new Shangguan. They held their weapons tightly in their hands, but they were not ready to go into battle to kill the enemy!
After inspecting back and forth, Chen Yuan smiled and asked in a very gentle voice: "Brothers, if any of you have ever been on the battlefield, please take a step forward." β
Of the three thousand people, most of them remained in place, and less than five hundred took their own steps.
Chen Yuan came to the front of the five hundred people: "Good, very good. Whoever has slain an enemy among you, go forward. β
This time the number went down by half again!
The more than 200 soldiers who had been on the battlefield and killed people raised their heads high.
Chen Yuan said again: "Those who have been injured on their bodies take a step forward. β
Only a few dozen people did not move, and most of them took this step. As long as you have been on the battlefield, as long as you have killed people, most of them will be injured.
On the far left of the line was a man in his thirties with a tattoo on his face, apparently having committed a crime and being sent to the army.
Chen Yuan came to him: "What's your name?" β
"Geng Tiande!" His voice was very loud, and he still glanced at Chen Yuan with a contemptuous look when he spoke, in his opinion, it was simply a shame for such a little white-faced scholar to command himself.
Chen Yuan didn't look into his eyes: "Start with you, report the number." β
There must be many people in this army who look down on themselves, Chen Yuan knows what he is missing, and he knows what this team is missing!
Say a few words so that they can look up to themselves? Say a few words to encourage their wolf surname? Two lips don't have such a lot of magic! For a soldier, they only respect those commanders who can make them survive on the battlefield! For a troop, as long as they train their wolf surname during peacetime training, they are wolves on the battlefield!
One hundred and forty-three. Of the 3,000 who had been on the battlefield and had slain the enemy, and had been wounded, there were only one hundred and forty-three.
The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth smiled: "From today onwards, I won't come to you again in three days." I hope that in the middle of these three days, you will be able to elect your own military leaders, all heads. After three days, I will choose the commander from among the commanders and commanders you have chosen. β
Chen Yuan's words made the more than 3,000 people in front of him stunned for a moment! Soldiers choose their own commanders? This concept was too advanced for them to accept for a while.
Geng Tiande was the first to react and asked loudly, "My lord, how do you choose a method?" β
Chen Yuan shook his head: "I don't care." Whether you use your fists or eat please, in the past few days, you have drawn people from 3,000 people, and ten people are willing to follow you, and you are the head of the army! A hundred people are willing to follow you, and you are all heads! Except for not being allowed to use knives, you can use any means, understand? β
Another big man immediately stepped forward: "Is it true that the adult is speaking?" β
Chen Yuan looked at him: "What's your name?" β
"Yan Zhan!"
Chen Yuan said: "Of course I take what I say seriously, if there is half a lie, or if I can't fulfill it, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!" β
The people of the Song Dynasty took the oath very seriously, and after Chen Yuan pointed to the sky and swore an oath, these people were really relieved, and their eyes couldn't help but aim at the middle of the team to see who could be pulled by themselves!
At this time, a person suddenly popped out among those who had never been on the battlefield, this person looked thin, and his whole face was like only bones: "My lord! It's not fair! β
Chen Yuan looked at him: "What's unfair?" β
The man said, "Why are there more than 100 of them alone?" The villain is not convinced! β
Chen Yuan nodded: "Not convinced?" Well, I know there are still many of you who are not convinced, but there is no way! People have been on the battlefield, others have killed people, and people are just one step faster than you! But you don't have a chance, as long as you have the ability to make that capital or military head give up the position to you, I have no opinion! Anyway, I'll come back in three days. In the past three days, I hope that you will show your skills, as long as you don't cause death, all means can be used. β
When he said this, Zeng Gongliang's eyes widened, and he came up and whispered, "Shimei, are you too child's play?" β
Child's play? Chen Yuan didn't think so. Maybe some of them don't have the right way to do it, but as long as they keep the others speechless! This army, the army is going to go to the battlefield, and on the battlefield, only those who dare to knock down their opponents by any means will survive!
He hadn't answered Zeng Gongliang yet, only to hear the thin man just now suddenly say loudly: "Yan Zhan! Come and fight me! β
This is the first face-to-face challenge, in the most acceptable way in the army! Na Yanzhan laughed: "Okay! If I win against you, what if all the people of your village follow me? β
The thin man glanced back, apparently asking for his companion. What he got was encouragement! Immediately threw off the armor on his body: "Less nonsense!" Come on! β
The surrounding soldiers were busy pulling out a big circle! Chen Yuan smiled: "Also, all the incoming military leaders and capital leaders have listened, when I come to announce your appointment in three days, everyone will be rewarded with ten times!" A meal of flower wine, there is no limit to the girls! As long as you have the strength, ten of them in one night will also be the general to settle the bill for you! β
This obviously provoked these soldiers to compete for victory!
Of course, Chen Yuan can talk and count, although the small leader he appointed can be caring, but there are too many drawbacks. He's choosing a mastiff! No matter what method is used in the end, those who can come out are definitely the best among the three thousand!
Zeng Gongliang saw that Chen Yuan didn't answer him, and said with a bitter smile: "Shimei, people lead soldiers to obey their orders, so that it can be convenient to command, and the ones you choose in this way must be the thorns in those soldiers, I really don't agree." β
What Chen Yuan wants is a thorn! Only with thorns can you stab the enemy!
He didn't look at the fights of the soldiers. What he wants to know is the result, and this is just the beginning. In the next three days, there will inevitably be all kinds of tricks staged in this barracks. Some people may be miserable, and some people may feel very wronged! This is the first lesson, Chen Yuan hopes that these people can understand a truth - sometimes, they should be unscrupulous.
He walked out with Zeng Gongliang in his arms, as long as no one died, let them make trouble.
"Master Zeng, have you had any good weapons lately?"
Relying on this weapons workshop, there is no reason for me to have good things to wait in line like other troops.
Zeng Gongliang was also generous, the kind of hand crossbow that was newly researched, but the more than 1,000 pieces produced, gave Chen Yuan 300 at once.
Although Chen Yuan really wanted to get some equipment for Hu Yanqing and them, he knew that it was not the time, they gave you three hundred, and it turned out to be two hundred in the hands of the troops, which can also be seen by anyone.
If you want to get weapons for Huyanqing, it is more convenient to get them from the battlefield. As soon as this battle started, I said that two hundred crossbows were broken, that is, two hundred were broken.
After leaving the barracks, Chen Yuan returned to Crescent Moon Villa. In the past two days, the business of the villa has been good, and the students who came to take the exam have filled all the rooms in the entire villa. For these students, Chen Shizhong's accommodation fee is halved, but even so, the students who can live in Crescent Moon Villa are all from better families.
When Chen Yuan walked in, he found that Ouyang Xiu was also in the Crescent Moon Villa, and he was a little stunned: "Lord Ouyang? β
Ouyang Xiu smiled at him: "Lord Chen! β
Ouyang Xiu was surrounded by a circle of students, and it was obvious that he was teaching an exam experience similar to "playing on the spot".
Those students listened quite seriously, which made Chen Yuan can't help but think that if he got a pre-exam training class and invited Ouyang Xiu, Song Qi, Yan Chasan, and other people who had been on the list to give lectures, the effect would be very good!
"Lord Ouyang is really a rare guest, since the opening of the small store, although Shimei has invited adults to come over many times, but there has never been this honor, I don't know what wind is blowing today?"
Although Ouyang Xiu had some contempt for Chen Yuan, he didn't have any dislike for him, the main reason was that Chen Yuan disdained to be with him in his opinion. However, Chen Yuan is about to be a concubine, and the emperor is already choosing a good day, so since he is not disgusted, he must always give some face.
He pulled up a young student beside him: "Master Chen, let me introduce you, this is my student, Su Shi." β
Su shi? Chen Yuan took a look and found that Su Suzhang was chic!
Su Shi clasped his fist at Chen Yuan: "The student has seen Master Chen." β
"You're welcome! Have you found a place to live? If you don't have one, stay with me. Chen Yuan's heart is wishful thinking, if Xiao Su is changed to his own door, and later people mention the great writer Su Dongpo, and ask if it is Chen Shimei's protΓ©gΓ©, it will be an incomparably beautiful thing!
Therefore, Chen Yuan's attitude is very kind, and the smile on his face is very kind, just like when traffickers abduct children.
Su Shi said very respectfully: "I don't dare to bother Lord Chen, I have admired Lord Chen for a long time, and the students have read the song "Water Tune Song Head" many times, which is really heart-wrenching, and can be called a masterpiece in today's literary world!" β
Chen Yuan smiled: "Hehe, pass the award, pass the award." β
He felt like he was a bit like a stick, bragging about other people's things. The difference is that the face of the stick bragging is not red. Chen Yuan is facing Su Shi now, and his face is really hot.
