Chapter 558 - There is a request
You must know that Zhao Jingxuan, as a governor, is so friendly, which they have never met before.
Men's friendship is sometimes so inexplicable, Shang Shu admired Zhao Jingxuan's strength, and immediately regarded him as his good brother.
"My lord, let's go to the military tent and let's have a good talk!"
Shang Shu patted his chest and invited Zhao Jingxuan, looking like he wanted to talk to him all night. As he spoke, he didn't forget to ask the soldiers to prepare wine and food, as if he wanted to fight with Zhao Jingxuan.
Zhao Jingxuan was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and couldn't help but look in the direction where Jiang Liang was.
Because of the loud voice, Jiang Liang of course understood what was going on, but ordered Yuehua to put down the curtain and drive the carriage back directly.
Seeing this, Zhao Jingxuan knew what Jiang Liang meant, chuckled, and went back to the camp with Shang Shu, the two looked like friends who had been extremely familiar for many years, and there was no estrangement at all.
Here, Zhao Jingxuan followed Shang Shu into the camp tent, and the two drank happily, and soon Zhao Jingxuan was introduced by Shang Shu as a confidant.
Some of his insights made Shang Shu very admirable, and he looked like he hated to meet late.
"Hey, don't hide it, the most troublesome thing in my military camp now is not the issue of military salaries, although the locust plague has been affected a little bit by the locust plague before, but the impact is not too great. Your Majesty has always attached great importance to the food and grass of the army, and you and I are very clear about this. ”
Shang Shu said, his face showed shame.
"It's just that I'm still a little short of supplies here, and the supplies of the soldiers are not enough, you see my soldiers, all of them are wearing tattered clothes, and the quilts in the camp tent, but they are all patched and patched, and they are not cold at all."
Speaking of this, Shang Shu was stunned and looked at Zhao Jingxuan with an embarrassed look.
"But that's not the most important ......"
"Oh? So what is most needed in the army? ”
Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, feeling that there was something in the other party's words.
Shang Shu naturally meant something, he wanted to say that the conditions in the barracks were not good, but this was not a matter of one or two days, the former governor was investigated, although the people were imprisoned, the materials on their side have not improved.
Over time, everyone has gotten used to it, and they usually train as usual, but there is not much change.
However, there are some aspects that cannot be endured by them.
"Weapon ......"
Shang Shu whispered, and as soon as the words came out, he became a little nervous.
You must know that in addition to supplies, the most important thing in marching and fighting is that the so-called three armies go first before moving grain and grass, but weapons in a big war are also the key to a decisive victory.
The soldiers had no sharp weapons in their hands, so they could only be chased and slashed by the enemy.
However, the Qing Dynasty is actually not very good at casting weapons, and weapons are expensive, so they can't be given to them casually.
However, Shang Shu has always wanted to strengthen his armaments, hoping that his soldiers can rely on it more, otherwise they will go into battle to kill the enemy, and before they can defeat the opponent, their side will be killed first.
Zhao Jingxuan nodded lightly when he heard this, and he could be regarded as responding to this matter.
"This is easy to do, you count the number of people, and I will deal with it."
Shang Shu didn't expect Zhao Jingxuan to be so straightforward, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but he didn't rush to thank him, but laughed dryly.
"Then, my lord, the lower officials are reported according to the roster......"
Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but glance at the other party when he heard this, and snorted lightly.
"It's not wartime, you don't have any foreign money, and I won't pursue those things in the past. But now that I'm the governor of Zhongnan Mansion, my soldiers won't allow anything to happen! ”
Although Zhao Jingxuan is not a general in the army, he is also very aware of some of the unhealthy tendencies, and the situation of soldiers receiving empty salaries can be regarded as an unspoken rule.
But this is in the past, and as long as he is the governor of this side for a day, such things are not allowed to happen under him.
Shang Shu didn't dare to say anything more when he heard this, for fear of upsetting Zhao Jingxuan.
He touched his nose, knowing that his request was too much, and laughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.
"Then, my lord, the lower official has another request, I hope the lord can agree."
"Tell me about it."
Zhao Jingxuan was also interested when he saw Shang Shu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and immediately motioned for him to speak.
Shang Shu nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly said his thoughts one by one.
"That's the case, the lower officials see that the adults are strong in martial arts, and want the adults to teach them a few tricks......"
Zhao Jingxuan was a little surprised when he heard Shang Shu's words, but he originally wanted to train soldiers, so he didn't feel embarrassed, but he was a little curious why Shang Shu had such an idea.
"In this barracks, you are the commander, why would General Shang want this officer to train the soldiers?"
Zhao Jingxuan knew very well that these generals would not easily let others interfere in this kind of matter, and although he was a governor, he would not interfere in the training of soldiers under his command.
This is also a tacit understanding between generals for a long time.
However, Shang Shu actually offered to train his soldiers, which was very abnormal.
"The adult's skills are very good, and the lower officials admire them very much."
Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but shake his head amusefully when he heard Shang Shu's thoughts. "Usually restrain your soldiers, don't disturb the people, as for training them, it's better for you, the commander, to do it. This officer is also an outward release for military training, and he can't give you much advice. ”
"However, this official can pick a few good seedlings to teach a few tricks."
Zhao Jingxuan knew that Shang Shu had seen his martial arts, and wanted him to help improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
But this is actually a misunderstanding, when soldiers rush to kill on the battlefield, what they pay attention to is coordinated combat, and when fighting alone, no matter how high a person's ability is, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and fighting alone will still be beaten to the ground.
However, it would be beneficial to train some elite soldiers to be responsible for sprinting during battle.
Shang Shu couldn't help but hesitate for a moment when he heard Zhao Jingxuan's proposal, as if he was thinking about the possibility of doing so, and waited for a while before nodding hesitantly.
"But in this way, will the other soldiers be red-eyed? After all, we were supposed to train together. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, these selected by this official will be arranged in the vanguard in the future."
As soon as he heard Zhao Jingxuan say this, Shang Shu understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing.
"It's still a long-term plan!"
Zhao Jingxuan was speechless for a while about Shang Shu's approach of patting his ass, but even if the matter here was over, he was relieved.
After telling Shang Shu a few more words, Zhao Jingxuan directly said goodbye and left the barracks.
