Chapter 11 Military Neutrality and Prestige
readx;? The next day, the third day of the first year of 211 B.C., Zhang Jiashi got up from his bed early in the morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yesterday, Zhang Jiashi did not talk to Qi Ji Hu Tianhu Emperor, because he knew that today would be his first day of official duty in the two positions of Daqin Afang Du Lieutenant and Shanglin Supervisor.
He knew that this day would largely be the most important thing for him to live well in the days to come.
At this time, a maidservant seemed to hear something moving in the room, and directly pushed the door and walked in.
When she saw Zhang Jiashi wearing a white linen undershirt, walking in the middle of the room, she hurriedly knelt down: "Damn it, I don't know that the head of the house has gotten up." ”
"It's okay, you help me get a basin of water, I'll take a bath, and tell the cook to make breakfast, whatever you want." Zhang Jiashi glanced at the servant girl and said slowly.
"Yes, Master. The maidservant got up from the floor and exited the room.
After Zhang Jiashi finished washing, he slowly walked to his armor shelf, put on the ceremonial crown from top to bottom, put on the armor and cloth boots, and after putting on the Lulu sword, he turned around and walked out of the room.
However, when he saw him come out, a maid outside the door hurriedly said to him with a pale face of fright: "The maidservant should die, he did not serve the master of the house and wore armor." ”
"......" Zhang Jiashi said that he never thought that such a question could actually make a person kneel, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then looked at the servant: "It's okay, Zhang is not the kind of tyrannical who likes to punish people at will." Get up. ”
"Thank you for the great grace of the head of the family. After the servant girl said this, she slowly got up from the ground, and then she saw Zhang Jiashi shaking his head and walking down the stairs of this attic.
Zhang Jiashi is not used to this kind of life, although it is good to have someone to serve, but this kind of thing makes it difficult for him to accept.
As he slowly walked down the stairs, he couldn't help but think of a "peachy incident" he encountered last night......
......
Zhang Jiashi was on the low table in the bedroom, holding a roll of bamboo slips that didn't even have a name. Of course, he was not reading a book, but waiting for a bath.
The bedroom and the bathing place were separated by a screen framed with silk cloth, and several maidservants struggled to carry hot water up and down the corridor.
"......" Zhang Jiashi really wanted to tell them, anyway, it's just a bath, and it's just a bath, so why do you want to wash it in the bedroom?
Zhang Jiashi continued to watch these maidservants run up and down one by one, speechlessly.
He even thought of a terrible thing, if these handmaidens accidentally slipped their feet while going up and down the stairs......
"......" Zhang Jiashi didn't dare to imagine it, because he knew that although such a thing would not lead to death, if it was serious, he might have to fall and break a bone.
Fortunately, God did not let Zhang Jiashi get his wish.
Wait until a servant girl with tiny beads of sweat oozing from her forehead knelt on the ground and said to him, "Master, everything is ready." ”
"Well, besides, you guys can put the tub on the first floor next time. Zhang Jiashi stood up helplessly, slowly walked into the room, and untied the straps of his robe.
He didn't expect that a few maids wearing belly pockets slowly walked behind him and blessed him: "The maidservants and others are waiting for the master of the house to take a bath." ”
"......" Zhang Jiashi looked back and saw several maids almost wearing belly pockets to cover their wonders, standing behind him in unison.
He couldn't help but look away: "You go down first." ”
"This ...... Master, it is our job to wait for you to bathe. A maid looked at Zhang Jiashi's somewhat sturdy body, and couldn't help but blush and said.
I said...... I'll just have one of myself, so you can go down first. Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but increase his tone a little.
"This ...... Yes, my lord. The maidservants and others retreated first. ”
Zhang Jiashi glanced at the maidservants who came out one after another, and shook his head helplessly.
But he was not very calm in his heart, after all, in the face of this situation, it was impossible for a very normal young man to not react a little.
"Color is emptiness, emptiness is color...... Zhang Jiashi muttered this passage that can be said to be "deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors" in a certain sense, and then slowly drove away some desires that should not appear at this time.
......
Zhang Jiashi, who recalled this scene, couldn't help but show a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth. Because he didn't expect that these handmaidens would do such a thing.
Of course, he also vaguely guessed that such a thing was normal.
During the Qin Dynasty, women without status basically had no social status to speak of, which can be seen from this.
Most of these handmaidens are women who have been resold or convicted because of their families, and their origins are not necessarily humble, but as long as Zhang Jiashi is still their master for a day, they have the right to live and kill them for a day.
Once the escaped maidservants are caught by the government or the powerful in other places, then their fate may be much worse than death. This is the ...... of this society No, this was the case for hundreds of thousands of years and nearly two thousand years afterward.
Zhang Jiashi didn't want to change all this now, because he couldn't change all this now.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
After Zhang Jiashi finished breakfast, under the protection of dozens of guards, he rode the red cloud, took the white wolf, and then went from the west gate of Shuangyueyi to the military camp located in the northwest of Shanglin Yuan, close to the construction site of Afang Palace.
The working hours of the Qin Dynasty can be summed up in eight words: work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Of course, this is not just about working hours. In fact, according to the time standards of later generations, Daqin's working hours can be roughly planned to be 7 to 5.
Officials who want to go to the court to deal with affairs will be earlier.
What does 7 to 5 mean?
Well, normally, after the rooster is around six o'clock, many people will get up to make breakfast, and then the whole family will have breakfast. The officials of the early dynasty did not have this treatment, because after you have breakfast, the daylilies are cold. And the early dynasty can't eat secretly, otherwise you will die miserably.
Therefore, Daqin inherited the previous tradition of serving officials in the palace to have a lunch instead of breakfast.
In fact, this was not a special treatment, but a kind of compensation for the officials of the early dynasty. In general, Daqin still has two meals a day.
The exception is in the military. The men in the army are the most comfortable and hardest people. The comfortable thing is that the men in the army do not need to carry out all kinds of drills like everyone else, and they don't even need to report in a centralized manner or just make a head.
The hard thing is that these guys are often woken up by the guy's head before dawn to cook.
And at night...... These guys are not tossed until about ten o'clock at night, and they basically don't have to sleep.
Colleagues in other armies, after eating at night, if you don't have a duty duty, you can fall asleep.
Of course, a few people can also get together and rely on the light of the broken oil lamp to have some spare time and adjust the boredom in the barracks......
In short, the army of the Qin Dynasty, if there is no task at night, basically only sleeps.
After all, in the barracks, if you want to do something you like, small soldiers and some low-level officers are not qualified enough......
There is no shortage of some itinerant businessmen roaming around in the Qin army's military camp, of course, these people do some small business, and the Qin army doesn't care, as long as it doesn't affect the army too much, they ignore it.
Well...... Such a small business naturally includes some homeless warblers, who found some Qin army officers who wanted to have a good time, and exchanged a little time for a little and a half taels to get by......
In fact, if there is no breakfast, it is the most fatal thing for an officer. The emperor did not send hungry soldiers, and under normal circumstances, the barracks did not even have breakfast, and the sergeants and soldiers could have been dismissed and there were no problems. It is often the corresponding military officers who are held accountable.
Among the Qin army, it was reported after eating. Under normal circumstances, half past seven or eight in the morning is the time for Qin Jun's concentrated reporting, and five o'clock in the afternoon is the time for dinner.
Therefore, after Zhang Jiashi arrived at the barracks, it was just after seven o'clock. It's still early in the time of the concentrated report.
......
"Who are you!" the officer on duty who was guarding outside the barracks commanded his subordinates, looked at Zhang Jiashi and his party, and asked loudly.
Zhang Jiashi nodded, took out a tiger talisman and the seal of the lieutenant given to him from his arms, and showed two objects that could best explain his identity to this officer who should be the commander of the army.
After seeing the tiger talisman seal ribbon in Zhang Jiashi's hand, the tun chief immediately took his subordinates, half-knelt on the ground and said: "I don't know that Lord Du Wei is coming, my subordinates are rude, please forgive my sins!"
"Wait. Dedication to duty is a good thing. Zhang Jiashi put away the tiger talisman, and then saw the tun commander directing the soldiers to move away from the antlers placed in front of the camp gate.
Zhang Jiashi rode the red cloud, slowly watching the Qin officers and soldiers who were constantly gathering, and after he passed in front of these people, he stood solemnly. Zhang Jiashi knew very well that these officers and soldiers should have seen him yesterday.
He nodded slightly to these people, and continued to move slowly under the escort of Shusun Zhong and others.
This barracks is a four-camp gate, and the commander's camp is in the middle of the barracks. Therefore, after walking a distance of nearly 600 meters, Zhang Jiashi came to the main account.
A considerable number of officers of the rank of 100 generals and above of the Qin army had gathered in front of the main camp tent, and after seeing Zhang Jiashi's arrival, they half-knelt in front of the main camp tent and said loudly: "Your subordinates meet Lord Duwei." ”
Zhang Jiashi came down from above the red cloud, and a sergeant of the Qin army came over and took the red cloud away. And Zhang Jiashi walked up to these officers and said, "Everyone, get up. ”
"Yes, Lord Lieutenant. "Among these officers, there are naturally Ruan Weng Thieu and others. Several of them wore the crown armor of the two or five hundred lords and the five hundred lords, light red or dark red robes, and stood in the crowd in front and back according to their own identities.
And Zhang Jiashi did not communicate, and after these officers gave way to the main camp tent, Zhang Jiashi walked directly in. And these officers, then also entered the main camp tent at one time according to their military ranks.
The inside of the camp tent was square, and Zhang Jiashi walked directly behind the main table of the camp tent, and after untying the Lu Lu sword, he sat down.
The other officers, according to their positions, sat cross-legged on a small mat one after another.
After everyone came in and sat down, Zhang Jiashi said: "Everyone, yesterday Captain Bendu had some personal matters, and he couldn't come at the first time, and Captain Bendu is still a little sorry." ”
"Lord Commander, Your Majesty's edict, as well as the order of the General's Palace, Lord Commander will not arrive until tomorrow. And the adults are here today, and we have to admire the dedication of the adults. A two-five hundred lord who Zhang Jiashi didn't know said to Zhang Jiashi with a fist.
"Hmm. Zhang Jiashi nodded, and he suddenly found that there should be five two or five hundred masters in the team, and eleven five hundred masters, including Shusun Zhong, but this number seemed to be wrong.
Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but say, "Are there any officers under my command who want to gather?"
When the officers in the "......" tent heard this, they were silent.
"Then why is there one person missing from the two or five hundred masters, and four people missing from the five hundred masters?" Zhang Jiashi slowly glanced through the crowd.
The "......" tent fell silent again.
Zhang Jiashi surrendered his eyes as two acquaintances of the two five hundred lords, Ruan Weng Shao and Huan Suo.
The two knew that they couldn't hide, so the unkind Huan Su said directly: "This ...... Lord Duwei, you should ask Wei Yao and Mao Guang, who were already in this camp. ”
Ruan Weng Shao wanted to say something, but was directly pinched secretly by Huan Su beside him.
Zhang Jiashi naturally looked at the small movements and expressions of the two of them, and he didn't bother to care, but set his eyes on the other two two five hundred masters.
The two or five hundred masters, whose names Zhang Jiashi hadn't figured out yet, took a deep breath after glancing at each other: "Lord Duwei, a few of them are the subordinates of Lord Zhao Gao of the CRRC Mansion...... I was thinking that they should appear when they were reporting intensively. ”
Zhang Jiashi nodded, after all, it was not time yet, so he would wait a while.
......
In the following time, Zhang Jiashi understood what kind of structure these 5,500 people under him were.
The five 2,500 commanders, the five 1,000-man troops under their command are basically mixed.
There were about 600 officers, 36 chariots, 96 knights, and the rest were all crossbowmen. This is the more detailed establishment of the five troops.
Of course, these troops were commanded by two five hundred main fighters. In other words, unless his troops are subdivided into the level of commander or chief, they will not see the establishment of mixed formation.
In wartime or in the case of being deployed, the five troops will be organized into three battalions in the front, middle and rear or four battalions in the left, center, right and rear.
The difference between the two formations is also very different in terms of the number of people.
Front, middle and rear three battalions: The strength of the front battalion is about 1,000 people, and the number of troops in the middle battalion and the rear battalion mainly depends on the location of the main general or the battlefield environment. Under normal circumstances, the size of the Chinese army can reach a maximum of 3,500 troops, and the minimum will be 2,000 people. As for the rear army, it depends on the number of Chinese troops, with some additions and deletions.
This formation is also a kind of long snake formation, which is easy to be broken by the enemy in a battle formation.
The four battalions on the left, center, and right are the more mainstream formation methods of the Qin army. The middle army was about 2,000 men, the left and right armies were flanks, about 1,000 men, and the rear army was 1,500 men. Of course, among the troops of the rear army, 1,000 people are to a large extent reserve soldiers, and once the front line is urgent, these 1,000 people of the rear army will be transferred to carry out the offensive.
Of course, the impermanence of soldiers and the impermanence of water, and the two ways of arranging do not mean that 5,000 people must do this.
The most important thing about this arrangement is that Zhang Jiashi's troops are a formal army of the Qin State.
After the annihilation of the Six Kingdoms and the fierce battle of the Xiongnu in Hetao, the troops of the Qin army rarely saw a large-scale establishment again, and there would be a uniform army, and the Northern Army and the Southern Army were two more extreme examples. There are many cavalry in the northern army, and many officers in the southern army.
The other troops, except for the Central Army Corps of the Qin State, including the soldiers of the Inner History County, were basically all mixed formations.
Zhang Jiashi also understood that their unit was also a sequence of the Central Army, but in the original situation, they belonged to the soldiers of the Inner History County and not the divided Afang Palace Guards. It can be said that they themselves are a Qin army combat unit subordinate to the soldiers of Neishi County and responsible for the safety of Shanglin Yuan.
Zhang Jiashi asked curiously at this time: "What is the matter with the Shanglin Supervisor of the Captain?"
The two or five hundred lords of the Qin army named Wei Yao said after clasping his fists: "Lord Duwei, the full name of Shanglin Supervisor is Shanglin Yuan Supervisor, and he is responsible for handling all affairs other than military power. For palaces such as Afang Palace, which were built in the Shanglin Yuan area, Lord Du Wei had the responsibility to supervise the construction. In this regard, the adults have a certain relationship with the Shaofu who is responsible for supervising the construction of the Afang Palace. However, Shanglin Jian is a subordinate official of the internal history. The official position and military position of the adult, to be honest, are more complicated than the county guards of the border counties. ”
Under Wei Yao's explanation, Zhang Jiashi officially understood what his current title brought him. Only Yingzheng, the first emperor of the ages, can directly order him.
In other words, if there are other margins, even "direct bosses", such as General Meng Tian and Neishi, as long as they don't come to him for the same thing, he can simply use another identity to push two-five-six......
Zhang Jiashi wanted to ask something, but suddenly heard the bell ringing outside.
"What kind of sound is this?" Zhang Jiashi raised his head suspiciously.
"My lord, this is ...... The sound of a gathering of concentrated reports. Wei Yao's voice became smaller and quieter, because he had already seen a trace of murderous intent in Zhang Jiashi's eyes.
"Those people haven't come yet?" Zhang Jiashi didn't need to look at it to know what the situation was, but he still asked this sentence.
"This ...... Yes, my lord. Wei Yao said these words helplessly.
Zhang Jiashi picked up the Lulu sword placed next to the table, and after standing up, he pinned it to his waist: "We won't wait." Tell me what happens to latecomers?"
A military Sima clasped his fists at Zhang Jiashi and said: "Lord Huiduwei, if the bell does not ring once, the staff will be punished twenty, the position will be reduced by one level, and the second bell will not be sounded, and the whip will be fifty, the position will be reduced by three levels, and the three-way bell will not be heard...... Chop. ”
Zhang Jiashi nodded lightly, and then slowly walked out of the tent gate under the gaze of the officers in the tent.
......
The troops of 5,000 people appear to be relatively neat. But that's about it. Because in some ranks, many soldiers and officers appear to be relatively sparse.
Zhang Jiashi didn't say anything, but asked several military commanders to directly record the absence and tardiness in detail.
A bell rang and struck it for about three minutes. In the period before the second bell rang, dozens of Qin officers and soldiers appeared in the school grounds.
"Take it! Deal with it according to military discipline!" Zhang Jiashi glanced at those people fiercely, and then continued to look at the situation of the people who entered the school field.
The screams slowly sounded from the outskirts of the school grounds, and Zhang Jiashi did not have the heart to listen intently to the wails of these people who were being scolded by the cane.
After a while, the second bell rang, and the people who arrived at this time seemed to hear the screams coming from the school grounds, and they all showed a trace of fear and doubt. In doing so, they were in fact instructed by some people. They didn't know why the superiors would let them do it, but in any case, it seemed that they would end up in a pretty bad way.
"Can't we get in?" A Qin army commander looked at his boss beside him suspiciously, a middle-aged Qin army general.
Unbeknownst to him, his boss was also thinking about it.
With the more and more dense bells, this Qin army general gritted his teeth fiercely: "It's much better for us to go in and be punished by the military law than to lose our lives." ”
"This ...... Yes, sir. Several people thought of this key, and followed this Qin army general into the school field.
Not surprisingly, they entered the school yard before the second bell rang. But they were also arrested by their colleagues who had been waiting for them for a long time. After a few low-level military commanders read out the military regulations, several people collected their weapons, then pressed them directly to the ground, and untied their robes, revealing their white buttocks. Two sergeants with a wooden plank in their hands, one on the left and one on the right, stood next to the man and slapped the plank in his hand fiercely.
"Ah!!h
A scream rang out again, and at this time, the second bell stopped.
And at this time, several people came over, and they shouted loudly: "Which of you dares to do it?"
However, when they saw Zhang Jiashi on the platform and moved his eyes to them, they directly kept silent, let other colleagues remove their clothes and armor one after another, and then pushed them to a death rack, tied their hands and feet, and a sergeant with a special cowhide whip in his hand waved the cowhide whip fiercely, whipping their chests.
At this time, the punishment of the cane had ended, and after Zhang Jiashi saw these people being helped up by the sergeant beside him, he said slowly: "Let the military medical workers treat them." ”
"Wow!" Wei Yao nodded, and after arching his hand to Zhang Jiashi, he explained to a hundred generals.
In a few moments, the first group of people to be flogged had finished their executions. And Zhang Jiashi saw that the flesh and blood on the chests of these people were blurred, and his heart was silent. He was well aware that such a thing was deliberately done by someone. However, since these people are here, they should not die. He said slowly, "Let the medical staff treat them too." ”
"This ...... Wei Yao seemed to be a little unaware of Zhang Jiashi's order, but he still did it.
......
After the three-way bell ended, about 200 people entered outside the school yard.
Wei Yao and Mao Guang shook their heads and sighed after glancing at each other. Because they clearly saw the cold glint in Zhang Jiashi's eyes......
