Chapter 0062 - Bottomless Pit
"Get up all for Lao Tzu, if you can't practice the last seven moves of the Six Divine Swords, no one wants to rest!"
Zhao Bufan held the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it beside the soldiers, so frightened that they hurriedly got up and did not dare to slack off. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are more than 300 soldiers in the school field, and now nearly a third have fallen, and in the face of almost harsh training, everyone is sad, but no one dares to say a word, if there is disobedience, the horse whip in Zhao Bufan's hand will fall on them mercilessly, and a dozen is a bloody road.
"Today you practice martial arts hard, you can live in the coming day, the Liuhe knife method is for you to use to save your life when you are in close combat, if you practice well, it is life, and if you don't practice well, you will die, if you don't want to die on the battlefield, you don't want to die under the Liao soldier's knife, you don't want your wife to have no husband, you don't want your children to have a father, then grit your teeth and practice, swallow it in your heart if you have suffering, and let me shed as much as I can if I have tears, but who dares not to practice, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the horsewhip in Zhao Bufan's hand!"
Such a strict practice method has lasted for several days, and since Zhao Bufan returned to Yantou Village and personally took over the training affairs, the soldiers have fallen into a nightmare.
The Liushen Sword is one of the most popular knife techniques in the Song Army, which has been tempered thousands of times, is simple and practical, and is a martial art formed in the military array. It itself is divided into three stages, each stage has seven moves, and usually, the Song army only requires soldiers to practice the first two stages, and officers above the head need to practice the third stage.
But Zhao Bufan believes that since the Six Divine Swords are suitable for battle formations, then every soldier should finish learning, compared to letting soldiers learn half of all martial arts, it is better to let them concentrate on learning one or three kinds, practice well, and practice until they are perfect. Song Bing's previous thinking was to let soldiers know everything, they could change their arms at any time, they could hold guns, knives, crossbows, and shields, which made scheduling convenient, regrouped at any time, and could also adapt to changes according to the battlefield situation, which seemed to be more beneficial than disadvantageous.
This doesn't seem to be wrong, but in Zhao Bufan's cognition, this is more harmful than good, because in that way, it is difficult for the martial arts of the Great Song soldiers to make breakthroughs, it is difficult to emerge masters, and individual force is almost limited to a range. Many generals are afraid that a large number of masters will emerge and thus endanger their own status, so to a certain extent, they suppress the individual force of soldiers in order to facilitate control and command, which is a vicious atmosphere.
But Zhao Bufan has a vague memory of his previous life, and the concept of competition is deep-rooted, and what he pursues is: If you can't do it, then you will come down and give way!
Therefore, he hopes that the soldiers under his command will never stop, and he hopes that everyone will continue to break through themselves.
This kind of open-mindedness is too advanced, even Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen don't understand it very well, although they support him unconditionally, they still retain doubts.
At this moment, as the training continued, more and more soldiers couldn't stand it, Lin Chong on the high platform frowned and walked off the high platform and quietly came to Zhao Bufan's side.
"Zhao Zhizhai, this kind of intense training, the soldier's body may not be able to bear it!"
"When you practiced back then, how was it like this?" Zhao Bufan asked lightly.
“......”
Lin Chong was silent, thought for a while and sighed: "But if their food can't keep up, this intensity will be counterproductive, and the brothers can't be allowed to use their own salaries to add extra meals, if that's the case, if it goes on for a long time, the brothers will have resentment in their hearts!"
Zhao Bufan looked at Lin Chong strangely. "The food can't keep up? How is it possible? I just looked at the basic ration standard of our Great Song army again yesterday, not only the salary is very high, but also the material ration is also very sufficient, there is no reason not to be enough!"
Lin Chong stopped talking, and quietly pulled Zhao Bufan to the corner of the school field.
"Bufan, have you forgotten the rules of the army?"
"Rules?"
Zhao Bufan reacted instantly. "You mean deducted?"
Lin Chong nodded: "The total establishment of our Yantou Village is more than 1,000 soldiers, but only half of the rations can actually be received, and the other half has already been taken away by officials at all levels in the layers of exploitation, in order to ensure that each soldier's salary can be received normally, then the materials can only be reduced, so the food must not be able to keep up, and the weapons and armor and other combat materials should not be changed once in a year or two, and the medical and medicinal materials are even more unthinkable!"
Zhao Bufan also knew this problem, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, even the border soldiers would be detained, he remembered that when Luo Ash led the troops in the past, this problem didn't seem to appear, and he became more and more puzzled in his heart. "Why didn't you feel these problems when Luo Ash was there?"
Lin Chong looked around and made sure that the ordinary soldiers couldn't hear it, so he replied softly: "It's not that I didn't find out, it was when Luo Ash was in office, our Yantou Village Dongzhai was a thousand people, although there were only five hundred people, but the quota for supplies was one thousand, so that after the division of officials at all levels, there was still a standard ration of five hundred people left, which was just enough, and the same was true for Xizhai, but now the top is staring at you and giving you supplies according to the real number, so even the basic supply of Yantou Village is a problem." We can barely support it now, it is Zhizhou Li Miao who is trying to save from elsewhere and secretly help us!"
The logistics have always been handed over to Lin Chong, and when Zhao Bufan suddenly heard the news, he really had mixed feelings in his heart.
"Black! It's too dark! This Great Song Dynasty court is so black that it is about to become a bottomless pit!"
"Alas!" Lin Chong sighed, his face full of helplessness.
"Extraordinary, you haven't been in the forbidden army before, you don't know that the main forbidden army is more serious than this, and the Liyang Liutun forbidden army is terrifying. ”
"What's going on?"
"The Liyang Liutun camp has a forbidden army of 50,000 people, which was originally used as a strategic deployment to save northern Xinjiang, but there are actually only 1,000 people there, and those so-called officers are all subordinates or relatives in the Liangzhong Shufu. The ration of money, food, and materials for the forbidden army was much higher than that of the box army, and the ration of 50,000 people was terrible, but they were all swallowed. Liang Zhongshu occupies five floors exclusively, officials at all levels share three layers, and Cai Jing has two layers.
Zhao Bufan gasped.
"I really want to know, how many of the main forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty are now?"
Lin Chong said bitterly: "According to what I knew when I was the head of the forbidden army, the total establishment was 870,000, but the actual number was 260,000. Among them, there are 100,000 elites stationed near Bianliang in Tokyo, and 80,000 elites in the western Xinjiang, as for our northern Xinjiang, the Liutun Forbidden Army was an empty camp many years ago, and the remaining 80,000 forbidden troops are in the hands of some famous generals, and these 260,000 forbidden troops are the last main force of the Great Song Dynasty, which is definitely elite, and many people of insight are trying their best to protect it!"
"Do the Folding Family Army and the Seed Family Army belong to the forbidden army?" asked Zhao Bufan.
"They are not the forbidden army, they belong to the Xiang army in terms of establishment, but their actual status is equivalent to that of the forbidden army, and no one has ever dared to move the rationing, because they have never participated in the struggle between the DPRK and China, and are only responsible for resisting the enemy, so the Chinese and the military of the DPRK understand that they are one of the backbones of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are the guarantee of the existence of the Great Song Dynasty, so they will not be moved. In addition, only the more than 200,000 people of the Western Army did not dare to move, because the Western Army obeyed Tong Guan, although Tong Guan was greedy for power, but he knew how to buy people's hearts, and treated the soldiers of the Western Army very well, that was the guarantee of his power, and whoever moved the Western Army would fight hard!"
Lin Chong's words made Zhao Bufan finally understand the composition of the military forces.
Obviously, Tong Guan's Western Army is the strongest military faction, the Folding Family Army and the Seed Family Army and other meritorious families are independent military factions, the 100,000 forbidden army controlled by Gao Yu is also a line, and the 160,000 neutral forbidden army scattered in various places can be regarded as a series of Mingzhe's self-protection, that is, the four major systems. In addition, there are the box armies in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty and the border armies in northern Xinjiang, these soldiers and horses have poor combat effectiveness, they are like security forces, and the relationship is also very messy.
Thinking of these in his mind, Zhao Bufan gradually had an idea.
"Brother Chong, you have been the head of the forbidden army, have you heard of why there is no strong military force in northern Xinjiang?"
Lin Chong said: "Because the Great Song Dynasty surrendered to the Liao State, and every year will sacrifice a huge amount of wealth and beauties, if the Liao State does not have the certainty of victory, it will not fully invade the south at all, at most it will be looted in the northern Xinjiang, so the ministers of the DPRK and China will extend their hands to the northern Xinjiang." In terms of establishment, the total number of troops in northern Xinjiang should exceed 500,000, but in fact there are only tens of thousands, and the empty salary of the 400,000 troops is one of the important financial routes for the imperial court officials.
A smile gradually appeared on Zhao Bufan's face, but he didn't say much to Lin Chong.
"Brother Chong, train the soldiers well, train our soldiers well, my requirement is that the martial arts of ordinary soldiers should be close to the ordinary warrior monks of Shaolin, and the martial arts of elite soldiers must be equivalent to ordinary warrior monks in Shaolin, most of the brothers have been in the army for many years, and their martial arts foundation is not bad, and they have rich combat experience, just because of the atmosphere of the Song army, so they are very lazy, and they have no goals and beliefs, but as long as they are willing to work hard to practice and fight to break through, it is not difficult. In the future, you will take them to practice according to my requirements and intensity, and the affairs of Yantou Village will also be handed over to you, and I will go to Juxianzhuang!"
"Are you going to leave again?"
Zhao Bufan sighed leisurely.
"The brothers are playing with their lives, they are still alive today, and they will die on the battlefield tomorrow, I can't wronged them that they can't even eat well, and they can't even support their wives and children, since the court doesn't support them, then I will raise them! I can't oppress the people with a black heart, so I want to make money, I want the brothers to become the strongest elite of the Great Song Dynasty, and I want them to become the richest soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, they follow me, then I can't let their blood be shed in vain!!"
"But I really can't handle those political affairs well!" Lin Chong said helplessly.
"Those things will be handed over to Zheng Ming, you and Brother Zhishen will be responsible for supervising, but don't interfere with him, just send someone to Juxianzhuang every three days to show me the results of all the affairs of Yantou Village, and not a single thing can be missed!"
After saying this, Zhao Bufan threw the horsewhip to Lin Chong and slowly walked out of the barracks in contemplation......
