Chapter 64: An Incorrigible Empire
readx;
The soldiers didn't know where the destination of this long-distance training was, but Buchen knew that it was his manor in the south of the city, but it was definitely not for the soldiers to bypass directly from outside the West City, so it was not a long-distance training, and the short and medium distances were about the same. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lao You's training route for the new army is like this, starting from the military camp outside the west city, then marching north, bypassing the north city along the moat, then turning south through the east city, and finally arriving at the manor outside the south city, the whole process has to go around the Beijing division and Bei'an, the total distance is nearly eighty miles, and it will be completed in a day and a half according to the requirements, which is already a very difficult thing for a private army.
After getting off the guard tower, a soldier brought a horse to Buchen and Xue according to Lao You's instructions, because the two of them had to follow the army all the way, and they were tired, so Lao You made a very humane arrangement.
However, Buchen didn't really buy it, he politely refused the horse that the soldiers brought him, in his opinion, since the soldiers in heavy armor for more than 80 miles could hold out, how could he, the commander of the first army, who only wore ordinary cloth clothes, be lazy? That's going to be laughed at, right? It's okay if ordinary soldiers don't know him, but officers and generals at all levels know him!
If she doesn't ride a horse, she won't ride a snow, her body doesn't feel tired, it doesn't matter to her whether she rides a horse or walks, and when she walks with the soldiers, she can observe them better, right?
The 50,000 new troops carried torches and pulled out a long marching column in the wilderness outside Bei'an City, like a rolling fire dragon.
In the process of advancing, Xue more deeply realized the discipline of this army, the road to training is long, but there is no soldier in the queue to talk and frolic at will, from the beginning of the training, the marching army column has maintained an amazing silence, can only hear the occasional command of the officers, Xue is very surprised by such discipline, because compared to this army, the march of their blood army is more like an outing or a house......
"No, I think even if this army is not as good as Charlie Andris's army, it is already one of the best in the world, at least in terms of discipline!" Snow felt deeply.
Buchen smiled and said, "Xue, I'll take you to see the army in the world fragment when I have time, although they are not real people, just NPCs, but they almost perfectly reproduce the style of the national army in the primeval era!" ”
"Then I really need to see it." Xue was a little unconvinced.
Buchen looked at her and shook his head slightly, but he didn't say anything.
……
The pre-dawn darkness passed, and the sky in the distance showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and at this time, more than five hours had passed since the start of the training.
"Oops, Mom!" Lu Daqiang gasped and said, "It's going to die!" Are those cold-faced dogs trying to tire us out? You still have to go so far in heavy armor! ”
Wang Ergen on the side frowned, although he was also tired, he was still trying his best to abide by the regulations on the march.
"Shut up! Don't you know that you can't talk when you're on the march?! Do you want to punish us again?! Squad leader Chen Haonan scolded Lu Dazhuang sharply.
Lu Dazhuang couldn't help but shrink his neck, and said with a bitter face: "But squad leader, I really can't bear it!" ”
"If you can't bear it, you have to carry it! It's like you're the only one who is tired, and we're not tired, but look at everyone, how many of you complain like you?! Chen Haonan said angrily.
Lu Dazhuang looked at the other people in the class, although his face was also a little bitter, but he gritted his teeth and held on, and suddenly his face was a little feverish, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Alas!"
Squad leader Chen Haonan sighed, so that when he got up in the middle of the night, he wore heavy armor to play long-distance training, and it would be false to say that he didn't complain in his heart, but after all, he had been mixed in the Dao for a few years, and his mental toughness was not comparable to ordinary people, so he could barely hold on, but if he marched so hard for a few hours, even if his perseverance was fine, his body would not be able to bear it.
In fact, the situation of Chen Haonan's class is quite good, after all, they have a squad leader with strong perseverance, with Chen Haonan's example in front, even if others are tired, they will grit their teeth and persevere, but other classes will not work, five hours since the start of the training, at least 20 or so classes have fallen behind, they are just private troops fighting for money, they may be afraid of the instructor's punishment and can maintain a certain degree of discipline, but the resilience is insufficient, because there is no belief in perseverance!
"Snow, if this is Charlie's army, maybe no one will be left behind now, this is the gap!" Buchen smiled bitterly at the snow course.
Xue said suddenly: "I understand, no, the gap between our army and Charlie's army can only be discovered in more extreme circumstances." ”
"There's nothing wrong with that!" Buchen nodded and said: "But the battlefield is changing rapidly, anything can happen, there will definitely be extreme situations, and there will never be less, this is the test of our army, I really hope that their performance in the future can be a little better than today, after all, it is just a drill now." ”
Lao You also followed them at this time, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry too much about you, how can you force our new army to that extent with the soft-footed shrimp army of the big turbans?" ”
"Lao You!" Buchen was a little annoyed, "Our enemy will not necessarily only be the army of the turbans!" ”
"Even if it's a rogue arm, don't be afraid, after all, the gap in equipment is too big, and the training is much worse!" Lao You said disapprerovingly.
Buchen was angry with him: "Lao You, why are your eyes always staring at the country?" ”
You Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened: "No, what do you mean, is it still possible for us to fight with King Charles or the Blood Cloud Iron Horse?" "These are the two powerful enemies he can think of.
Buchen nodded, and shook his head again: "I always feel that our future enemies will not only be these two, but also enemies who are not less resilient than them and have weak combat power, in order to deal with such enemies, we must work harder to strengthen this army!" ”
Lao You finally put away his indifferent look, and sank his face: "No, it's not my surname You who said frustrating words, if there is really such an enemy, we can only do our duty as a martial artist!" ”
Buchen knew that Lao You was digging out his heart with himself, so he smiled bitterly and said: "If you can be worthy of your heart, you can do it." ”
Lao You was silent, and his unsubstantiated freedom made him feel ashamed.
"No, can't we let this army become a national army? Like Charlie Andris's army? Xue understood the conversation between Buchen and Lao You, and asked a little unwillingly.
Buchen smiled bitterly: "National army? I am not the master of the country, and if they are instilled with the idea of the country and the nation, they will no longer be loyal to me, even if they are paid by me. ”
When an army has a thought, he will do what he thinks is the most correct, even if it is a blow to his own food and clothing, he will not hesitate at all, because compared with the country's righteousness, food and clothing supply is only a small favor. Buchen has no interest in being overthrown by the army he raised......
"Then you're going to be the emperor! Doesn't that make sense? Xue frowned and said, this is still the first time she has persuaded her to become the emperor.
"It's not the time." Buchen shook his head, "Xue, I believe you can also see that this country has rotted to the roots, and it is not possible to carry out a reborn Ding Ge, but if you want to carry out a reborn Ding Ge, the talents I can use in my hands are too scarce, if you rashly go to the throne and become the emperor, the entire state apparatus is still the same, and the national strength that can be mobilized is only one percent, even if I get tens of thousands of national troops through various means, in the end it will be less and less, and it will be unsustainable." ”
To put it bluntly, Buchen's current problem is still a "money" word, at present, natural and man-made disasters are continuous, the country is still under the careless rule of a large number of writers and philosophers, and the already sharply reduced national strength can be mobilized even more minimal, but Buchen has no way to replace the entire country with a large number of capable people in power in a short period of time, resulting in a shortage of funds and resources in his hands, and it is already very difficult to train 50,000 private troops, to transform it into a quasi-national army, but it does not help the overall situation, he still has no money to train more soldiers, but it worsens the relationship with the surrounding Yun Dynasty feudal officials, providing a pretext for them to separate and stand on their own, so that the complete and unified Eastern Kingdom will no longer exist, and the entire Eastern Continent will return to the Warring States Period. At that time, if it is just a civil war, it will be fine, but if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, it will be strange if this divided country will not be finished!
And to maintain the current state of the narrow son of heaven to order the princes, at least the unity of the country can be maintained, and the feudal officials also recognize Yun Chongming as the son of heaven, once there is an invasion of foreign invaders, the country can still fight under one banner, so as not to let the ministers fight alone, and lose all the men and horses that he can't stand the consumption at all!
