Chapter 202: Organizing the Army
In Gyeonggi, a team of about 1,000 people marched around. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Lord Duke, you can't do this! I just sent a letter for the Governor, but I didn't promise to do anything about the Ice Plain Legion, the Major General of the 10,000-man team, you can do it, let me go back quickly. The Governor is still waiting for me to return to my life!"
"It's not a major general of the 10,000-strong team. Major General Shi Qian, you still have a great future, you have to study more! Remember, it is the invincible and brave first cavalry of the Ice Plain Legion, and the Duke Li Wuheng personally gave him a major general with a sword. What's the matter?, the guys in the back are starting to make a fuss again?" Ah Heng rode crookedly on his horse, carrying a wine gourd in his hand, and while pouring wine into his mouth, he casually instructed the round-faced general next to him. He returned to the imperial capital this time because he received the news of the rebellion of Admiral Beru brought by his personal guards, which made him realize that the infiltration of the Hidden God into the Bright Dynasty had reached an alarming level, and he could no longer hide it, and he must tell the Governor the secret of this, otherwise if the Governor was killed, he would live in guilt and pain for the rest of his life. Just in case, he deliberately brought a thousand people back.
The round-faced general Shi Qian glanced back at the invincible, brave and unparalleled 10,000 people in Ah Heng's mouth, in fact, it was just this lazy and lazy thousand-handed, as the captain of the Governor's Mansion Guard Battalion born in the wolf cavalry battalion, the major general of the general regular legion was really not taken into his eyes. He can be regarded as a bad luck for eight lifetimes, so he sent a letter, and he could also be caught by Ah Heng. It is no wonder that when he first saw the 5,000-man Ice Plain Legion sent to the northwest, he had to sympathize with this newly baked Ice Plain Duke.
The soldiers in this corps are all old, weak, sick and disabled from the Central Army, plus thorns, and they will find trouble if they don't have much ability. I heard that there have been three mutinies on the way from the imperial capital to the northwest, one time is too fast (less than two hundred miles in two days, all cavalry), and once the official is too small (I heard that even the guy who carries the iron pot has been named the captain of the army by Ah Heng, and his subordinates are the iron pot), and the last time it is said that the food is too poor (Shi Qian specially asked, according to the captain of the gang, it is the big guy who thinks the meat is too fat).....
When Shi Qian found Ah Heng in the barracks, the boy who was less than seventeen years old was sitting in the barracks with a handful of snot and tears, and there was not even a personal soldier who poured tea and handed water around him. Seeing that the Duke was so pitiful, Shi Qian and the four guards who went with him relented for a while, and agreed to bring a few days of soldiers for Ah Heng, and as a result, this area was on the thief ship, and the five people immediately became the first batch of major generals and lieutenants of the Ice Plain Legion, and according to the Duke, the order had been issued to the Governor. Shi Qian had no doubt that the Governor would sell the five of his men with a stroke of his pen to make up for the debt to the young Duke in terms of soldiers.
Now, the other 4,000 people have been taken to the north by four other freshly baked major generals. The thousand men he brought with him were carefully selected from the five thousand, and it was said that in the future they would serve as the young duke's personal army. At that time, Shi Qian also specifically asked Ah Heng about the selection criteria, but Ah Heng was stunned for a long time, and finally held back two words: obedient!
Shi Qian was gloomy, which showed the bitterness in the heart of the young duke in the past few days. However, when entrusted with loyalty, Shi Qian naturally would not choose pro-army according to this criterion, loyalty and bravery are necessary elements. However, without the run-in of the war, the word loyalty is still too illusory, and Ah Heng's early official wish is not too outrageous.
Then the only ingredient left is bravery. A five-hundred-pound stone mill is placed in front of everyone, as long as the stone mill can be lifted, the official will be immediately promoted to the next level, and the salary will be doubled, anyway, the emperor has allocated enough materials for 100,000 people, as for the official rank, there is the Duke of the Ice Plain, and the appointment of the lieutenant general in the army is just a matter of moving his mouth. At the beginning, some people questioned the strength of the round-faced general himself. When Shi Qian smiled and used his two fingers to pick the stone mill away, smashing a deep pit in front of the questioners, everyone closed their mouths. Are you kidding? The wolf cavalry battalion is called the elite of the world, not to mention the elite of the elite.
Since the help of five people, Ah Heng immediately got up with nothing, drinking and having fun every day, singing unknown songs, and almost finding a few little girls to accompany him. No, Shi Qian really couldn't stand it anymore, and decided to let the young duke have a deep understanding of the problems in the army, and by the way, he threatened to resign-
Shi Qian: "Lord Duke, there are indeed people who want to make trouble, they are complaining that the Lord has just left the imperial capital, but they are running back non-stop. They all said that they had followed the Duke for the sake of meritorious service, and that they would be laughed at by their former colleagues when they came back so disgraced—"
Ah Heng: "These soldiers and ruffians, if they want to be promoted, just say it! Every time they want to make people uneasy, so tell them that if no one increases their military salary for one month, it will be regarded as a consolation fee for a long journey." Ah Heng waved his hand casually.
Shi Qian: "My lord, haven't you heard that Ci Bu is in charge of the army? I have smoked those troublesome old fritters so that they don't even know their mother, and as soon as this punishment is over, they will be rewarded immediately, and the majesty of military law will of course be gone-"
Ah Heng: "It's okay, we don't have a military judge in the army, and what is not majestic is nothing......
Shi Qian: "My lord, it's not a matter of military judges......
Ah Heng waved his hand: "General Shi, the Ice Plain Legion is not short of food, weapons, and official positions. Tell them. When the army is expanded to 100,000, everyone can be promoted to another level. ”
Shi Qian only felt an evil fire rise, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "My lord, do you know the effect of going up and down. If you can't lead by example, how can you make your soldiers swear allegiance and fight bravely?"
Ah Heng only felt that his ears were almost deaf, he immediately held his head high, sat upright, the expression on his face was extremely serious, and he saluted Shi Qian: "The general's words, every word, make this duke smell like an initiation, yes, I should indeed set an example and be a model for the soldiers, and I will be taught." ”
Shi Qian nodded with satisfaction.
Ah Heng said with a straight face: "General Shi Qian, this duke has been taught by the governor for many years, and now he has received the emperor's grace and is enshrined in the ice field no man's land. No man's land is a land of four wars, and life and death are only in the blink of an eye. Although I do not spare this life, I am willing to die for the heavens of the world. But after all, he is still young and inexperienced, so he is afraid that he will be burdened by the emperor's grace and affect the governor. In order to protect the homeland of the empire, for the prestige of the warriors of the northern frontier, is the general willing to help me pacify those ghosts?"
Shi Qian's mind was agitated, and he subconsciously arched his hand and said: "Dare not obey your fate!"
Heng: "Thank you so much, General." General, let's go and reorganize the army, and let me think about the future alone. ”
Shi Qian: "Yes, my lord!"
He immediately rode his horse around, and suddenly grabbed the reins, no! What was the matter with him? He suddenly laughed bitterly, and fell for the boy again. He shook his head and rode away.
Ah Heng breathed a sigh of relief, he was really tired! In order to leave behind these fierce generals of the Governor's personal guard battalion, was it easy for him? Relying on him alone against thousands of soldiers, unless he cut off all his heads, he could exhaust himself to death.
Ah Heng decided that after returning to the imperial capital this time to tell the governor about the hidden gods, he would immediately return to the wolf city. Let the bearded guys help themselves, otherwise, this so-called 100,000 Ice Plains Army is a plate of loose sand, destined to be trampled into meat sauce by the iron hooves of the orcs, and become nourishment for weeds in no man's land.
