Chapter 12 Training

"What about Tianke? Yi Yin is just a seasoning slave, but he can help Shang Tang to dominate the world, although you are a field guest, you are much better than a slave. Speaking of this, Zhishan let go of his right hand and said in a low voice: "If you listen to me and stay in this Xue Jiazhuang, you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble!" ”

If Zhou Ping was still shocked when he heard the words of Zhishan, at this time, it was as if a thunderbolt had hit him above his head, and he was dumbfounded: "Stay in Xuejiazhuang?" Why do you say that? ”

"Zhou Tanyue, I won't hide it from you, these people in the Xue family have a lot to do with you, if you leave them alone, not only will it be impossible to succeed, but I am afraid that you will be killed!" Zhishan smiled: "Besides, now that the second child of the Xue family has accepted you as his Lang Party, if you take down the bandit this time, although the county governor may not be able to come up with a county lieutenant, but there is always a village official, a patrol inspector (a low-level military attache in charge of local security in the Northern Song Dynasty) or something, and you can be regarded as having a step forward with him." Seeing that Zhou Ping was still hesitating, Zhishan persuaded him: "Zhou Tanyue, I don't know if you can listen to a sentence or not, although the world is big, if you are alone, where is your place?" Without the children of the clan, you are alone, and everywhere you go is thorns and thorns! ”

Zhishan's words were like a morning bell at dusk, waking Zhou Ping up from the hesitation of leaving or staying, just as Zhishan Zen Master just said. Most of the time, the ancient Chinese were active as part of the family, and without the support of the family, it was extremely difficult for a person to make a difference, even if it was to survive. As a traverser, it is his Achilles' heel to be alone without any blood relatives, and if he runs away to the south alone now, he will inevitably have to endure the oppression of the local tyrants again. Rather than this, it is better to stay first and find a way to integrate into the Xue family, at most, after recovering Youyan, find a way to persuade the Xue family to move south, and then it will not be too late to go south alone if you don't succeed.

"Thank you Zen Master for your advice!" Zhou Ping stood up and made a deep bow to the best, no matter what kind of intentions this monk had, now it seems that he still has good intentions towards himself, and it is a wise choice to respond with kindness.

Zhishan calmly accepted Zhou Ping's salute and said with a smile: "It's not early, let's get here today." If I guess correctly, tomorrow Xue Zhangren will train the villagers, his Xue family is a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there is a unique secret to military training, you have to be careful! Speaking of this, Zhishan didn't say much, got up and went out.

"The secret of the only one?" Zhou Ping muttered to himself, returned to the side of the bed and lay down, suddenly felt that there was a hard object under him, and hurriedly got up and turned it out, but it was the more than 100 coins that Fang Cai Yunniang threw to himself and the handkerchief wrapped in copper coins. Zhou Ping picked up the handkerchief, sniffed the faint fragrance emitted by the handkerchief, and remembered the persuasion of the best and Yun Niang's friendship with him, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

In the afternoon of two days, on the school yard of the Anyang County Governor's Office, the freshly harvested dried grain had been removed, revealing a vacant land about two or three acres in size. Ding Zhuang from more than 20 villages attached to Guo in Anyang County lazily basked in the sun, sitting in groups and gossiping. Because the former county lieutenant Zhu Zhi was injured and could not be a director, Shen Zhi County had already asked Xue Liangchen, the newly appointed Nanxiang inspector, to act as the county lieutenant to take charge of the arrest of the thieves, and all township Ding Zhuang had to obey the dispatch. They had all been notified by the village officials to come to apply.

"Xue Patrol has arrived!" With a long shout, Ding Zhuang stood up from the ground in two by three in a panic, only to see a group of people walking out of Xuejiazhuang, led by the new Anyang South Chambers Inspector Xue Liangchen, behind him are two rows of Zhuang Ding who carried a long bow on his shoulders and a bow at the waist. Xue Jiazhuang Ding rushed out, in Xue Liangchen's two compartments like goose wings lined up, everyone stood still and put the root of the long sword to the ground, making a muffled sound, the snow bright tip pointed to the sky, it looked quite intimidating, this posture suddenly calmed the chaotic Sixiang archers, and the field immediately quieted down.

"Rank, you should know about the bandits' attack on Dayjin Hall a few days ago! Those thieves were so bold and reckless, even the Han family's Dayjin Hall dared to attack, where else did they dare not touch? If we don't exterminate it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that I don't know which one will be poisoned again! Xue Liangchen paused a little when he said this, making the archers below more aware of the seriousness of the situation. After a while, everyone's discussion became quieter, and he continued: "The county lord ordered the troops to arrest the thieves, these thieves are not only bold, but also quite cunning, and the county lieutenant Zhu has not been able to please them in their hands, and we should not take it lightly. Although the ranks are all Xue someone's township party, but above the battle array, in the place of death and life, there is no military law to make the public, if there is a violation of military law, the good minister can't care about any feelings! Speaking of this, Xue Liangchen said loudly: "Where is the military officer Zhou Ping?" ”

Zhou Ping, who was standing behind Xue Liangchen, hurriedly stepped forward and responded loudly: "The villain is here!" ”

"Read the testimonies!" Xue Liangchen said.

"Yes!" Zhou Ping took out a volume of documents from his bosom and read it aloud: "The action in the army is based on the drum flag." The drum is strict, and the foot knights are all dressed; Again, ride on a horse, step knotted; The three links, with the second out, refer to the flag. After the dwellers set up the flags, they heard the sound of the drums, and the scouts looked at the wide and narrow terrain, and set up tables from the four corners, which was suitable for the battle array. The people of the various tribes, each of them have a sparse number of soldiers, and the soldiers are white. It's better to cut the order. If a soldier wants to form a formation against the enemy's camp, he should first show it in vain, but lead the troops to the battle. There is no joy in the battle, listen to the sound of drums, the front of the flag, the back of the front, the left of the left, the right of the right. He didn't listen to the order, and he was good at cutting off the front and back. If there is one in the army who does not enter, the captain will kill him; If there is a person who does not enter, even the chief will kill him; If anyone who does not enter, Du Bo will kill him. The generals of the war department will draw the blade behind, and those who do not enter will be beheaded if they violate the order. One part is attacked by the enemy, and the rest are cut off if they do not enter the rescue. The crossbow of the soldier must not leave the battle. Leaving the battle, Wu Changshi did not raise his hair, and he was guilty of the same crime. Without the general's order, those who act in vain will be beheaded. Before the battle, the cavalry should be at both ends of the army; The front is trapped, the formation is second, and the ranger is behind. Two hundred lashes for disobedience. The soldiers advance, and those who retreat into the formation are killed. If the foot rider and the thief fight, temporarily see the terrain, then want to make the rider alone into the thief, hear the sound of three drums, ride from both ends of the battle, depending on the commander, hear the three golden sounds. This is also said to be a solo war. Its foot and cavalry battles, advance and retreat freely. The officers slashed at the horsemen who rode in formation. The officials have a vain shout, and those who shout loudly will be beheaded. The thief shall not be left alone in front of the back, and the offender shall be fined four taels. Soldiers and generals are not allowed to take cattle and horses and clothing, and those who violate the order are beheaded. When entering the battle, the soldiers follow their own numbers. Those who do not follow the number will not be rewarded for their merits. When entering the war, the rear soldiers go out in the front, and the front soldiers are in the back, although the merit is not rewarded. In the battle, the Yamen general rode to supervise the order, all the departments supervised the generals, and the wartime school supervised the troops, supervised the battle, and inspected those who violated the order and were cowardly. The mouth is anxious, after hearing the sound of thunder and drums, the six tones are strict, and the white can be distinguished. Flee and behead. One said that the family members were arrested and obsessed, and they did not speak to the officials, and they were all guilty of the same crime. ”

Zhou Ping finally finished reading out this awkward ancient text, which is why Xue Liangchen specially asked him to be this military official, if you talk about the cultural level, I am afraid that even the four brothers of the Xue family are not as good as him, even if Xue Zhangren himself can only understand the meaning of this military order handed down by his ancestors, and cannot read it smoothly. The archers around were even more confused, and they only heard the "chopping" that appeared from time to time inside, and they were even more silent. However, Zhou Ping understood the gist of this short article after two days of relying on his ancient literary background, if he did not guess wrong, this should be a general guide to the senior generals of the ancient [***] team, from the simple command of the march, the enemy, how to choose the position and array, the configuration of each branch of the army, the attack, etc. It must be known that in ancient times, the means of communication were very primitive, and the means by which generals could command the army were nothing more than drums, trumpets, flags, and messengers, and it was very difficult to maintain control of the army, conduct military operations, and even win victory while marching and fighting. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to establish strict regulations in advance and to ensure their implementation by the most draconian military law. These edicts were extremely important secrets in ancient times, and only within the army and a few generals could be preserved, because only with these edicts could soldiers be trained into an army, and all kinds of strategies could be implemented. This is also why many peasant rebel armies in ancient times, often numbering hundreds of thousands, swept through the prefectures and counties, but were defeated by an army that was often only a fraction or even a tenth of his number. The reason for this is very simple, the rebel army lacks talents who understand this military knowledge, and it is nothing more than a rabble, which naturally cannot withstand an army.

"It seems that the supreme monk said well, this Xue family has a unique secret in governing the army, I will stay and don't say anything else, just learning these is to make a lot of money, otherwise if you want to learn these things, you can only stab the words to be a big soldier!" Zhou Ping watched Xue Liangchen loudly explain the specific punishments in the military law, and secretly made up his mind to pay careful attention in the next time and seize this hard-won opportunity.

At this time, the autumn harvest had already ended, and Shen Zhixian was worried that the Han family would be embarrassed by him in the court, and the reward he gave was also very rich, and he also promised that as long as he participated in the peace of the thieves, he would be exempted from labor for the next two years, which was a big temptation for the farmers. So in the next few days, there were more than 200 archers Zhuang Ding who came to apply for the four townships, and the Xue brothers eliminated the old and weak, and trained the remaining more than 150 elite and strong into three capitals, each of which was divided into five teams, and selected the prestigious, quite brave people among the archers in each township as the head, deputy head, team leader, and flag head, and even Zhou Ping was also a team leader, and he was in charge of more than a dozen men.
