Qin Hui was silent, and said with an indifferent smile: "There are 15,000 people everywhere in Shaanzhou, and more than 300 people are dismissed, so that they can return to their hometowns for the people." There were 3,100 people who withdrew from the forbidden army and were stationed in the box, and the rest were as usual. His Majesty has already ordered that on the one hand, the Qing army, and on the other hand, the elite warriors among the Shaanxi archers will be selected to fill the forbidden army, so as to make up for the number of repulsions and those who have been transferred to the box army, and the number of sergeants will not only not be less, but will gradually increase. ”

He flicked his robe, and smiled at Zhang Jun, who was in a daze: "Saving money, reprimanding the old and weak, and increasing bravery, this is Your Majesty's charter, Qin is just doing things by edict, does the general still have any doubts?" ”

Zhang Jun also understood it, and was not stunned by his cannon-like words, but only sneered: "Your Majesty's edict is naturally correct, but we also have to see how Qin Xianggong, who is acting under the edict, cooks it." ”

After that, he crossed his hand and said sharply: "Please!" ”

Qin Hui didn't say anything, but walked forward quickly, reaching the middle of the camp. Not long after, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Yongxing Army had already gathered around the school grounds, waiting for him to fall.

The news of the Qing army had already spread throughout the armies, and as soon as Qin Hui came, the generals of the armies were uneasy in their hearts, and they were all afraid that this iron-fisted man would clear him out.

In the early Song Dynasty, an ordinary forbidden army in the Beijing Division, in addition to the fixed firewood and rice, can also receive 30 yuan of Yulu, such a salary level, more than 100 times stronger than the peasant army of Zhu Yuanzhang in later generations, and the treatment of the Eight Banners in armor is comparable.

Therefore, soon after the founding of the country, a large number of disaster victims and bankrupt peasants were used as the box army, and then the good warriors were selected in the box army to fill the forbidden army. But gradually the number of Song troops increased, and the combat effectiveness became weaker and weaker. The forbidden army has a lot of money, pampered and pampered, and does not practice drills every day, only knows fresh clothes and angry horses. Make the gas indulgent. What's even more excessive is that the forbidden army will always receive firewood and rice in kind, and the forbidden army in Beijing is used to being pampered, and it is generous anyway. didn't care about a few small sums of money, so when the monthly salary was paid, a large number of porters went to the barracks to carry grain and grass for the soldiers of the forbidden army.

How can such an army beat the Liaoxia Iron Cavalry, let alone the Jurchen of the Jin Kingdom.

This forbidden army based on the Western Army in front of you. Naturally, it was much stronger than the forbidden army that was corrupted in the city of Tokyo, but the ancestral system of recruiting the hungry and displaced people did not change. This army is full of speculative opportunists and the old, weak, sick and disabled. The commander regarded the army as a private soldier, and was also afraid that the Qing army would cause a military mutiny. It can't be cleaned up seriously.

Zhao Huan made up his mind and sent Qin Hui to the Qing army. It is also because of the pain of redundant soldiers in the history of the Song Dynasty, which is too famous to be changed. He would rather cause a mutiny, and even made the determination to suppress it by force, but fortunately, Qin Hui was very disciplined in doing things, and asked Zhao Huan in advance, and there were few people who retreated, and there were many Qing Dynasty troops, so although many soldiers of the forbidden army were reduced, it did not put them in a desperate situation, and there were naturally very few people who were willing to take risks.

At this moment, Qin Hui'an was sitting in the middle of the school field, looking at more than 10,000 soldiers in armor standing respectfully in front of him, the audience was silent, and many people's faces changed color, showing a look of fear and fear.

He was proud in his heart, but he hid this emotion very deeply. In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the whole army, the Qin juniper is so solemn and solemn that people dare not despise and slack off and surrender to the majesty of other places.

After the whole army was gathered, Qin Hui first gave an order and ordered the more than 1,000 horse troops in the field to drill first.

The Song Dynasty lacked war horses, and naturally lacked good cavalry warriors, from the founding of the country to the present, the treatment of the horse army has always been far beyond the foot army, and the cost of supporting a knight can recruit at least five more foot soldiers.

Because of this, the training and screening of the Ma army has always been the top priority of the Qing army, and it is not surprising that Qin Hui made this move.

The horse army was scarce, and Zhao Huan knew that the cavalry was used in a group manner, which was far more effective than being scattered in the armies, and since the Fuping War, he ordered all the cavalry in the armies to be concentrated and became the imperial horse army, led by Wu Xuan. The remaining more than 1,000 horse troops in Zhang Jun's army were already left behind at the risk of angering the emperor.

Such a baby, he naturally did not dare to slack off, he was led by his henchman Yao Duan, and he trained every day.

Seeing that Qin Hui ordered to review the horse army first, Zhang Jun's face was pale, and he didn't speak, only saw Yao Duan, and asked him to personally lead the team and show off his riding skills and horse warfare.

Yao Duan got the order, he personally rode into the horse army, more than 1,000 horsemen first jumped and jogged, to the open space of the school field, and began to perform the joint vertical fighting, the whole team sprinted, immediately rode and shot and many other skills.

This team of cavalry is indeed the elite of Zhang Jun's department, and more than 1,000 horsemen and knights are well-trained, marching and retreating without disorder, and they are very orderly. When riding and shooting, there is never a situation where the arrow misses the target.

After they finished practicing, Zhang Jun came to Qin Hui and smiled at him: "How about watching the horse army, my lord?" ”

He was so squeezed, Qin Hui didn't care about him, he only replied with a smile: "Yes, the general's horse army is the most elite of the six routes, according to Qin, there is no need to carefully screen it, just keep it all." ”

"Okay, Xianggong Gao, haha!" Zhang Jun laughed a few times and slowly retreated, very proud in his heart.

A smile appeared at the corner of Qin Hui's mouth, and he ordered: "The horse army retreats, and the infantry army exercises!" ”

After the Ma army retreated from the field, a team of foot soldiers began to prepare for the drill according to various formations.

Qin Hui stretched out his hand to stop and ordered: "You don't need to practice the formation diagram, try it according to my method." ”

After that, he waved his hand and beckoned the light and agile among the several sample soldiers, and ordered sharply: "Do it!" ”

How did these sample soldiers whom he personally selected not know what he meant, they immediately bowed down together and said violently: "Yes, follow the orders of the lord!" ”

Except for Qin Hui's left and right henchmen, the rest of them were dumbfounded, not knowing what his intentions were. When these soldiers arrived in the school field, Qin Hui said: "Line up in batches, and everyone will run behind them." ”

Zhang Jun said angrily: "What kind of test is this? Don't look at the knife, don't look at the archery, just see if you can run? ”

Qin Hui ignored him first and gave orders repeatedly. The generals were ordered to start forming formations and preparing to run along. Waiting for the people in the field to panic, he ran up in a mess, he watched the smoke and dust rolling, and smiled at Zhang Jun: "Knife and archery skills naturally have to be tested." But when soldiers fight, should they chase when the enemy runs? Our army was unfortunately defeated, and it couldn't out, did it surrender or die? If you can't even run, what kind of soldier is you? ”

Zhang Jun opened his mouth wide. Full of anger, I really want to refute his statement as nonsense, but he is also a general in charge of the army, but no matter what, he has to admit that although the other party's words are fresh, they are very reasonable. It's not vexatious.

He was silent, so he had to be with Qin Hui. Pay attention to the situation in the school field.

This try. Although it was carried out in batches, it quickly tried a large number of weak people who could not keep up with the footsteps of the sample soldiers. The same is the whole body armor. Those sample soldiers finished the race, and one by one they were still calm. And behind them, although there were a considerable number of sergeants, there were a large number of soldiers, foaming at the mouth tiredly, barely able to keep up.

Those who have fallen behind, collapsed on the ground and can no longer run, or even fainted to the ground, and those who are in urgent need of treatment abound.

Zhang Jun's face was gloomy, so he had to argue with Qin Hui: "My lord, if you try like this, at least two or three thousand people can't keep up, don't they want it?" ”

Qin Hui was calm and relaxed, and replied with a smile: "This naturally can't be done, there are also warriors who can't run, and we have to try again below." ”

In fact, if it were another army, Qin Hui might not have carefully selected the best runners, and personally ordered the sample soldiers to run hard, naturally there would not be such a large number of soldiers who could not keep up with the pace. It is precisely because of this handsome attitude that he deliberately does this.

After running, it is time to test strength, and then to check the knife method, marksmanship, and archery, and the chickens, flying dogs, and jumping in the school field, everyone is vying for the first, and everyone is working hard.

Although it is not easy to be a soldier and eat food, it is far better than being a farmer in the Song Dynasty.

Qin Hui entered the camp early in the morning and tossed until dusk, tossing Zhang Jun's entire army endlessly, even the strongest soldiers, it was difficult to support. In the end, it was because Zhang Jun's department was really strong, but more than 1,000 unqualified soldiers were eliminated, and among the soldiers and horses, it was already very few.

In Zhang's case, this is too much. It's just that the other party has a unique method of taking the school entrance examination and is very serious, and he has nothing to say. Only the more than 1,000 soldiers in the field faced the fate of being eliminated, but their faces changed greatly and the crowd was angry.

They all rushed forward, not daring to surround Qin Hui, so they had to kneel down together from a distance, pleading and begging together, begging Qin Hui to give them another chance.

There was a grumpy one, and he also shouted: "Let's work hard for the official family, fight hard for the Great Song Dynasty with a knife and a shot, but can we only end up like this?" ”

In this way, those who were not selected also sympathized with and clamored together.

Zhang Jun, as the general in charge of the capital, his subordinates were so noisy, but he just ignored it, so he wanted to see how this Qin Hui cooked.

Qin Hui ignored it at first, and when the soldiers were weak in the noise, he frowned and ordered: "Everyone remove the armor first." ”

As soon as he gave the order, many guards around him also shouted: "Your Excellency has an order, everyone should remove their armor before speaking." “

Though each one was not angry, he had no choice but to do what he was told.

When more than 1,000 people in the audience took off their armor together, he ordered: "Take off your upper clothes as well." ”

Zhang Jun said angrily on the side: "My lord, this is too nonsense. Even if they can't be forbidden soldiers, adults can't be so humiliated! ”

Qin Hui replied: "The general doesn't need to be in a hurry, and look at the following." ”

Everyone took off their clothes together, Qin Hui nodded slightly, and dozens of people around him went down to the field together and began to inspect them one by one.

After a short time, everyone knew Qin Hui's intentions. Although these people could not run fast, their swords and guns were not skillful, their archery skills were ordinary, and their strength was insufficient, those who were in charge of the examination picked out those soldiers who had been wounded with scars, and those who were smooth and had no wounds remained in the same place.

In this way, more than 100 people were selected after a short time, and the rest of them looked at each other one by one and could no longer speak.

Qin Hui stood up at this time and said sharply: "You are not good at martial arts, that's it, and there are no scars on your body, but how do you become a soldier?" You can't fight, you don't get hurt, you go into battle, you use your throats to frighten the enemy? ”

Seeing that everyone was depressed and had nothing to say, he said sharply: "This official has tens of thousands of Qing troops, and no one dares to come out and say a word of wrongdoing, if you feel wronged, come out and speak at this time!" ”
