readx;?“ You're Di Qing! Di Qing, a native of Xihe, Fenzhou! In the command post of the Gyeongju military camp, Zhao Lei looked at Di Qing, who was also a black-faced assassin in front of him, and asked in shock. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info\\. qΒ5。 c0m\

"Not bad! The last will be exactly! The young and handsome Di Qing looked at the shocked Zhao Lei, and asked with the same surprise, he didn't know why Zhao Lei was so shocked when he heard his name, could it be that Zhao Lei knew himself.

When Zhao Lei heard Di Qing's words, he was shocked in his heart.

Who is Di Qing? If it is said that the strength ranking of the generals in the Northern Song Dynasty Renzong period, Di Qing admits the second, and no one will dare to be the first, he is not only the national hero of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also a famous general with both wisdom and bravery, the general of Renzong, Zhao Lei can remember, only Di Qing is alone.

Di Qing word Hanchen, a native of Xihe, Fenzhou, was born poor, at the age of sixteen, because his brother was convicted of fighting with the villagers, Di Qing suffered for his brother, stabbed with the frontier, and began his military career.

"You two get up! Do you know why you were called here today? Zhao Lei put away his shocked look and asked indifferently quietly.

"I don't know!" The tall Tang Jie replied loudly, looking at his sideways and fierce appearance, it is estimated that he is a fierce general who charges into battle, but he is not a good general.

"Did the general call me and the others for the sake of reform?" Di Qing thought for a moment and asked cautiously.

Zhao Lei looked at Di Qing approvingly. Suddenly asked: "I heard that General Di Qing has been coming to Gyeongju since the third year of Tiansheng and has been here for nearly ten years, what does General Di Qing think of the Gyeongju Army?" ”

Zhao Lei knew that Di Qing was not a simple person, he was the only famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was familiar with the affairs of the Gyeongju Army, so listening to his opinions would have some understanding of the Gyeongju Army.

"General Hui! I dare not take it seriously. The last general does have some ideas, the biggest problem of the Gyeongju army is the low morale caused by the black face, and now this problem has been changed by the general, if the general can eliminate the old and weak, recruit young and strong, and train diligently, the combat effectiveness of the Gyeongju military and ground will soon be strengthened. At this time, Di Qing did not have the vision and experience of later, and what he said was just a very ordinary set of views on strengthening training and the quality of soldiers.

I didn't hear Zhao Lei, who wanted to hear things. didn't care at all, he just wanted to see Di Qing's ability at this time, and being able to say this showed that Di Qing was very concerned about the Gyeongju Army, which was enough.

"That's right. Do you know any way to remove the dark veil from your face? Zhao Lei looked at the dark faces on Tang Jie and Di Qing's faces, and asked in a deep voice.

"This!" Tang Jie hesitated and said.

Here's a chance to get rid of the soldier's black face! Zhao Lei secretly asked: "If you have something to say, say it directly!" ”

"General! Then the general will say bluntly that the face of the Gyeongju soldier is made of a special plant juice of Gyeongju, although it is difficult to remove. But it's not completely impossible, I heard that the Bianjing Taiyi Bureau has a prescription that can wash off the noodles, but the cost is very high. If the Gyeongju Army removes all the noodles, it is estimated that it will cost about 60,000 guan, and the prescription is in the Taiyi Bureau, so it is difficult to get it. Tang Jie said in a low voice, but his eyes were full of heat, and it seemed that he was also very eager to get rid of the dark face.

"Taiyi Bureau, 60,000 yuan!" Zhao Lei said in a daze, pondered for a while, and then lifted the brush. He took a piece of rice paper and began to write.

"General Yang! Send this recital to the Gyeongju Post Station and have them deliver it to the official family on a fast horse! Zhao Lei wrote the recital, and after drying it, he handed it to Yang Wenguang and said.

"Lord Zhao! What is this letter? Yang Wenguang asked curiously.

"Apply to the official family to get the herbs from the Imperial Medical Bureau that can abolish the black noodles for all the soldiers in Gyeongju, and casually propose that in the future, the army will no longer wear black noodles, but instead stab them on the arm, chest or other places." Zhao Lei put the brush into the pen wash and said lightly to Yang Wenguang.

"Thank you, General! The last general represents the 6,000 soldiers of Gyeongju and thanks the general! Tang Jie heard Zhao Lei's words, and said loudly with a surprise fist.

Seeing Yang Wenguang leave, Zhao Lei picked up two pieces of paper on the desk, looked at Tang Jie and Di Qing and said, "Use practical actions to express your gratitude!" Look at this, this is the training plan written by this officer, see if there is anything that needs to be added! ”

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Di Qing took the paper and looked at it carefully, while Tang Jie, who was tall and tall, said to Zhao Lei with an embarrassed smile: "General! This will be illiterate and will not be able to understand the above things. ”

Zhao Lei Du Tang Jie was prepared for things without reading, and said with a slight smile: "The official's plan is actually very simple, that is, to prepare for strict training of the Gyeongju army, in addition to the cavalry battalion and the service battalion, the rest of the five thousand foot soldiers, each with a set of infantry armor, twice a day in the morning and evening. ”

Step Armor Training! Di Qing and Tang Jie were shocked when they heard Zhao Lei's words.

The infantry of the Great Song Dynasty is different from the infantry armor of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, because the Great Song Dynasty lacks war horses, it can only use infantry against the cavalry of the Liao State, so the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty belongs to the hoplites with strengthened protection, and its infantry armor is made of iron armor leaves with leather strips or nails, which belongs to the typical armor, which can attack from all directions with airtight protection.

There are strict regulations on the manufacture of the Great Song Dynasty Bu Ren Armor, the Bu Ren Armor is composed of 1825 nail leaves, and the protection capacity can also be improved by increasing the number of armor pieces, and the official Zhao Zhen ascended the throne after strictly stipulating that the Great Song Dynasty Bu Ren Armor is divided into three kinds, the weight of the long-handled weapon is 32 to 35 kilograms, the weight of the archer armor is 28 to 33 kilograms, and the weight of the crossbow shooter's armor is 22 to 27 kilograms.

The armor of the infantry was heavy enough, coupled with the heavy weapons such as spears, knives and axes in the hands of the infantry, so that the weight of the infantry reached 40 to 50 kilograms, and the weight was so high, which not only greatly reduced the mobility of the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty, but also made the burden of the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty very large. I'm afraid that half of the Gyeongju army will not be able to hold out.

But Di Qing and Tang Jie couldn't tell Zhao Leiming, could they say to Zhao Lei that many soldiers can't wear the armor specified by the official family, and this kind of thing is too embarrassing.

"General! The Gyeongju army only had a thousand foot armor, and all of them were pikemen. It's really not enough to equip the whole army for training! Tang Jie looked at Zhao Lei and said.

"It's okay, this set of training is just for you to inform the officers and soldiers below, the specific training will not be carried out for a while, and this officer has already reported to the new commander of the Yongxing Army, Wang Deyong, that the Yongxing Army will sponsor our 4,000-step people!" Zhao Lei said with a smile to Tang Jie and Di Qing.

Tang Jie and Di Qing looked at Zhao Lei's understated smile, and they were extremely happy in their hearts, after all, it is not an easy thing to ask for four thousand sets of step armor from the Yongxing Army, if you don't have enough strength and face, who will dump you. This shows that Zhao Lei has enough strength, and Zhao Lei's strength also means that the Gyeongju Army has more and bigger exhibitions, Tang Jie and Di Qing, as a member of the Gyeongju Army, how can they not be happy!

……

Night. The starlight is brilliant, the crescent moon is like a hook, the scenery around the military camp in the middle of the mountain is particularly charming, Zhao Lei and Yang Wenguang brothers and sisters and Xiao Ruoruo are sitting outside the command post drinking tea and admiring the moon.

There were many people around the barracks. Illuminated by huge lanterns, patrolling soldiers walked by, and vigil soldiers walked up and down the walls. Heavily guarded.

"The Gyeongju army is very heavily guarded! It seems that Gao Huaien's ability to lead the troops is not bad! Yang Wenguang looked at the situation near the Gyeongju military camp and said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice.

"Gao Huaien's level is average, but he has done what all generals should do, and he is qualified!" Yang Jinhua was a little dissatisfied with Yang Wenguang's praise of Gao Huaien, and pouted and said.

"Okay, Gao Huaien has left, there is no need to talk about his affairs anymore, although the quality of the Gyeongju military and land is good now, it is still far from my requirements. So you have to train quickly and rigorously. Zhao Lei held the teacup in his hand and said to Yang Wenguang's brothers and sisters and Xiao Ruoruo.

"You can't train even if you want to! Wang De used Lord Wang to hand over the entire Yongxing Army, not our 6,000-strong Gyeongju Army, there were 50,000 people, just the handover of various materials, it would take more than ten days, and when Lord Wang sent 4,000 sets of foot armor, it is estimated that a month has passed. Yang Wenguang said to Zhao Lei.

"What then! If you don't have a step person, you can't train, isn't this a waste of time! Xiao Ruoruo lay on the stone table and said weakly.

A month's time, it's a pity to delay the past, but the step is insufficient, what should I do! Zhao Lei frowned and thought.

"Cut! Can't you train without a step armor? Brother! Don't forget how Dad trained us when we were children, with bags of sand tied to our bodies and feet, enough to replace the foot armor. Yang Jinhua snorted coldly and said.

Sandbags are tied to you, what a good idea! Why didn't I think that Zhao Lei suddenly realized.

"Brother Zhongrong, you go to Gyeongju City early tomorrow morning, buy four thousand sandbags tied to your body, and then take the soldiers to fill them with sand, then you can train in two days." Zhao Lei said eagerly to Yang Wenguang.

After Yang Wenguang agreed, Zhao Lei remembered the problem of the cavalry battalion and asked Yang Wenguang: "Brother Zhongrong!" You've also seen the cavalry camp in the past two days, what do you think of the Gyeongju cavalry? ”

Hearing Zhao Lei's question, Yang Wenguang sighed and said, "Very bad!" It was worse than expected, not only the horses were too old, but the cavalry training was too loose, and some soldiers did not even dare to ride fast, let alone bend their bows and arrows on their horses to attack the enemy. ”

"Is it really that bad?" Zhao Lei said in disbelief.

"Not bad! Compared with the infantry, it is more difficult for cavalry to train into an elite, not only need good horses, but also require long-term training, and many of the Gyeongju cavalry came to the barracks to come into contact with war horses, how can this situation become an elite? Yang Wenguang said with a sigh.

"There is a problem with the cavalry, there is also a problem with the infantry, it seems that it is not easy to improve the combat effectiveness of the Gyeongju army!" Zhao Lei sighed, looked at the crescent moon in the night sky with some annoyance and said.

The future is uncertain! Yang Wenguang's brothers and sisters and Xiao Ruoruo also looked at the crescent moon and sighed.
