Chapter 54: The Great Song Military System

But it was said that Wang Han followed Tong Guan on the expedition and was full of joy. This is not only Zhao Ji's first foreign battle after coming to power, but also Wang Han's first battlefield show in the Great Song Dynasty, which is of great significance.

To this end, Wang Han did a lot of homework, about the habits, combat effectiveness, history and culture of Tibet, all investigated clearly, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, and winning all battles.

In addition, he also brought 20 artillery pieces, 500 shells, and a small artillery regiment of 15 people, with Ling Zhen as the commander.

Although Wang Han is still only a Bao Yilang, he sees himself as a general, and only when he has a goal can he be motivated.

Wang Han had the impression that Tong Guan should be a feminine eunuch with a white face and no need to speak, but when he really met people, he found that it was not the case at all.

Tong Guan is not only not feminine, but also very masculine, seven feet tall, tall and burly, standing up straight and half a head taller than Wang Han. Speaking with great pride, the voice is like a bell, like thunder.

If it weren't for Wang Han smelling the strong fragrance on his body mixed with a faint smell of urine, Wang Han would have thought he was a fake eunuch.

Because of physical defects, eunuchs peeing are different from normal men, and they often make a commotion on their bodies, and in order to cover up, they will spray perfume on their bodies.

That's right, the perfume is imported from the big food country.

In addition, Tong Guan has a bold personality, has no shelf, talks and laughs with everyone around him all the way, is elegant and vulgar, and has a great appetite for Wang Han.

In this expedition to Tibet, 12,000 soldiers set out from Tokyo, including 6,000 cavalry, 4,000 infantry, and the other 2,050 were logistics with the army. This is just the logistics of the march, and when Weizhou and Wang Hou converge, they will have to recruit and transfer people on the spot, and the number will be doubled.

Generally speaking, the number of logistics and fighters is one-to-one, and in the case of a siege, the number of logistics personnel is even more.

Why didn't the court conservatives like to fight? It's because it costs money to fight a war, and it costs a lot.

The army did not move, and the grain and grass went first. In addition to carrying food for the soldiers, the people had to eat their own food. And the military horses of the Great Song Dynasty are also delicate, they eat fine materials, and they have no strength to fight.

Of course, the best horses can fight regardless of the season, while the grassland horse has seasonal limitations, losing fat in winter, returning fat in spring, not increasing or decreasing in summer, and the horse gains the fastest when the grass bears seeds in autumn, so the nomads like to attack the Central Plains after the autumn, when the war horse is the most powerful.

Wei Qinghuo defeated the Huns when he was sick, which was to use the characteristics of the Hun horse to burn the Hun pasture in the spring, so that the horse could not get fat, and the horse was not fat, and the Huns could not take out so much concentrate to feed the horse, so the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and the Han army could not find the north by the water and grass all the way.

Horse ** feed should also be mixed with forage, which is good for digestion of the stomach and intestines. According to the horse breeding method of the Great Song Dynasty, a horse had to eat the rations of three soldiers in peacetime, and it was doubled in wartime, and one horse had to eat the rations of six soldiers.

In other words, 6,000 cavalrymen, men and horses, were to eat the food of 42,000 men.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses, starting from Tokyo, were eaten and chewed, and the baggage troops stretched for two or three miles, which was bloated and long.

But this is the characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty, the number of border troops should not be too much, enough for defense, the elite soldiers and horses are all placed in Tokyo, once they want to go out, the team will set off from Tokyo, and the money consumed in the middle is not calculated.

Spending money is a trivial matter, and if there is a big battle at the border pass, Tokyo urgently transfers troops to support, and the journey will also be delayed. Therefore, in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the local government could not suppress the thieves and robbers in various places, so they could only wait for the soldiers and horses in Tokyo to suppress them.

It is said that the purpose of the military gathering in Tokyo was to prevent the generals from rebelling.

In addition, the Song Dynasty implemented a conscription system, and qualified and sturdy young people were selected to enlist in the army, and tattooed characters on their faces were lifelong soldiers. This was also done to prevent rebellion. Because young and middle-aged people are all serving in the army, in the year of famine, those old, weak, sick and disabled who want to rebel can't rebel.

In addition, the garrisons of the state capitals of the Song Dynasty and the central forbidden army implemented a change of defense system.

When a soldier enlists in the army, he is first trained in martial arts by the head of the gun and stick instructor, and after passing the training, he is transferred to various military camps. After being incorporated, the number of soldiers remains unchanged, but the generals and garrisons are often changed, usually every two years, so that the soldiers do not know the generals, the soldiers do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers are separated.

Just like the soldiers and horses brought by Tong Guan this time, they went to change the Weizhou Forbidden Army, and the Weizhou Forbidden Army was stationed in Huangzhou directly after the battle, which was planned in advance by the Privy Council.

It is said that this was also done to prevent the generals from rebelling.

Wang Han asked in his heart, what did Song Taizu think? Is he so afraid of the general's rebellion? Could it be that he, the founder of the country, doesn't even understand what the foundation of the country's stability is?

Historically, there has been a major premise for military rebellion, the domestic situation is turbulent, the monarch is mediocre and weak, and the generals themselves are oppressed, so the soldiers will think of rebellion. If the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the monarch is wise, and the general lives happily, who eats too much to support the rebellion.

Therefore, Song Taizu's precautions against martial artists are too much, and even some morbid precautions that are unfounded, otherwise, how could he engrave the oath of not killing the doctor on the stone tablet of the Taimiao?

Thinking of the stone tablet in the Taimiao, Wang Han thought of the blood note in the Yanling armor, on which three sentences were written: Treat the descendants of the Chai family well, do not kill the doctor, and listen to the words of the Taoist.

As a result, the first two sentences were engraved on the stone tablet, but the last sentence was missing, which made Wang Han feel curious and couldn't help but open his mind.

Did the person wearing the Yanling armor know Song Taizu back then? This wild goose armor is obviously the equipment of the traverser, which shows that when Zhao Kuangyin founded the country, there were traversers who appeared.

So the question is, if a time-traveler appeared in the era of Zhao Kuangyin's founding of the country, what would he do?

If Wang Han appeared when Zhao Kuangyin founded the country, he would definitely tell Zhao Kuangyin not to make two mistakes, if you don't kill the doctor on the stone, you will engrave a strong army and martial arts.

And what about the senior traverser wearing the goose feather armor? Why didn't he stop Zhao Kuangyin from doing such a mindless thing?

Wait, it's not right, the management method of not knowing soldiers and soldiers and not knowing generals is the army management model of later generations, how can it appear in the time and space of the Great Song Dynasty?

That's too far ahead of its time!

Wang Han once again opened his brain, the army change system of the Great Song Dynasty was formulated by the senior wearing the Yanling armor, so that the problem was much easier to explain.

But in terms of return, if you can formulate a system for changing the defense of the army, you can't stop Zhao Kuangyin from emphasizing literature and ignoring military force? Or did he know that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to emphasize literature over martial arts, so he pretended not to see it.

Or, this system of emphasizing literature over military force was ordered by the predecessor of the traverser? Thinking of this, Wang Han immediately shook his head, it is impossible, unless it is the traverser who has in his brain, how can he watch the shame of Jingkang happen a hundred years later.

There are a lot of unknown problems to solve.

Wang Han went to Hehuang this time, passing through Yan'an Mansion, and when he came back, he could visit Xu Ning's cousin and ask about the origin of Yan Lingjia.

However, it was said that the army was pulled out, and it began to rain on the first day of leaving, and the soldiers were depressed, but fortunately, the quality of the official roads of the Great Song Dynasty was excellent, and all the way west of Tokyo was Pingchuan, and there was no muddy and difficult situation. However, when you go to the Guanzhong Plain after passing Xijing, there are mountains one after another, and the road is much more difficult to walk.

If it is difficult to walk, you have to go, as a soldier, this is helpless. The veteran in charge of the maintenance of Wang Han's horses said that he had traveled eight times from Qin Feng to Tokyo, except for all the defense areas in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, except for those who had never been to Jiangnan.

said that Wang Han was depressed, and he would be the boss in the future, and he would not let the soldiers work so hard - he wanted to build a train to pull the soldiers to change guards.

When they arrived at the Guanzhong Plain, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan were endless, and the sun also came out, which made the mood of the soldiers who had been hazy for many days instantly cheerful.

The team went on the avenue, and Wang Han rode his horse and galloped wildly, running with the whole team. First, he stood on horseback, with his arms outstretched, like an eagle flying, and circled the army. The second time, he sat on the horse's back face backwards, kept turning his head on the horse's back, played handstand with both hands, and howled wolf in his mouth, attracting the attention of all the soldiers.

He also showed all kinds of horse skills to the soldiers, and hid in the belly of the horse in the kick, these are all small meanings, he can also turn over from the horse's back, run and get on the horse's back, and the people who see it are dazzled, all kinds of applause.

Although Wang Han's official rank was small, he was directly under Tong Guan's control, because his artillery unit was a new type of firearms unit, which was different from other independent teams, and in Wang Han's words, this small artillery regiment of fifteen people caused more damage to the enemy than a five-hundred-man phalanx of the forbidden army.

Most people don't believe it, but the officials do. Before leaving, Zhao Ji also specially explained to Tong Guan that he would treat Wang Han well, which was a disciple of Xuannu and wanted to expand the frontier.

Wang Han was messing around in the barracks, as long as Tong Guan didn't say anything, no one cared about him. So he went crazy, playing with all kinds of people, almost.

On this day, when I came to the Wei River, there was a fisherwoman in the river who was holding the boat, and when she saw the army crossing the riverbank, the fisherwoman stood at the bow of the boat and looked at this side.

Wang Han rode on horseback, saw that the fisherman's girl was enchanting and graceful, inexplicably on a whim, and no matter who was around her, she was full of luck and sang: Sister, you sit on the bow of the boat, brother walks on the shore, and you love and love ~ The rope swings slowly~

He sang and made a leisurely movement, which made the soldiers around him laugh, and the fisherwoman was shy and immediately got into the cabin.

Tong Guan next to him happened to hear it, his face was solemn, and he said a nonsense.

Wang Han immediately stopped and laughed.

When he set up camp for dinner, Tong Guan asked Wang Han, "What else will you sing?" ”

Because of the experience in the morning, Wang Han couldn't say that he would be eighteen touches, so he thought about it and answered, "Let's have a song "Young Ambition is Not Sorrowful". ”

"Young ambition is not worried?" Tong Guan became interested, "Sing and listen." ”

Speaking of artistic cells, Wang Han has no love for calligraphy and painting, but he has a deep study of music, film and television, especially for military-themed songs, he is even more proficient.

Several degrees of wind and rain, several degrees of spring and autumn, wind, frost, snow and rain fight torrent~

After all the hardships, the heart does not change, and the young man's ambition is not worried~

The rhythm of the Song Dynasty is gentle, and the tune is tactful and leisurely, mostly telling about the love between men and women or praising the great rivers and mountains. For example, Li Qingzhao's Dream Order, dotting his lips, has a high degree of singing in Tokyo, but the lyrics and songs are sluggish.

The young ambition is not sorrowful but different, this is a boy song full of feelings, the style is rough and heroic but elegant, and the tune is even more euphemistic and deep, and it is heartwarming. Wang Han's voice is deep and deep, full of male magnetic masculinity.

The keywords are also well written, full of classical literature and art, and at the same time easy to understand and catchy.

The most important thing is that this is a song closely linked to the soldiers, in which [Golden Shield, Cast with Blood] Wang Han changed to a red shield, cast with blood, and showed his skills in the danger behind, adding a lot of battlefield killings, which is more and more in line with the voice of the soldiers. Not to mention the latter sentence: For the mother's smile, for the harvest of the homeland, the eventful years, why not be afraid of the romance! directly raises the connotation of the whole song to the highest, and it is also more in line with the hearts of the children.

Isn't it, everyone goes to the front line to throw their heads and spill their blood, isn't it just for the sake of a bumper harvest for their homeland, and their parents smile?

Wang Han's intentions and emotions were full of emotion, just once, and Tong Guan was shocked.

Not only Tong Guan, but several generals around him were all surprised, and they were stunned for a long time before they applauded hard and shouted hello.

Wang Han smiled modestly, turned in a circle and waved his hand to everyone, "It's a little meaning, it's a little meaning." ”

Tong Guan opened his mouth and asked, "But the lyrics and songs made by everyone Li?" ”

Wang Han was slightly stunned, blushing and said yes.

In fact, he really wanted to say that this was a lyric and song made by himself, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his mouth, and he still wanted some face when he thought about it.

replied like this, but Tong Guan was satisfied, nodded and smiled: "I think it's also what Li family did, in the whole of Tokyo, she has this ability, Wang Baoyi, you married a beautiful woman with both talents and colors, and you are not shallow." ”

Everyone laughed, Wang Han gave up his hand, "Generally, she can do a song and song, but cooking is not good." ”

Some generals smiled back: "Oh, after marrying a beauty like the Li family, are you embarrassed to let her cook?" It's enough to have a baby. ”

This was rude words, but it made everyone laugh, Wang Han also laughed, and the atmosphere was instantly harmonious.

After that, the young ambition spread in the army without worrying, and after seven or eight days, the whole army will be, and it is a chorus that walks at every turn, heroic and tight.
