Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 147 Troop Training 3

"Why is Your Majesty with these vulgar soldiers?" Zhao Chen had already walked in front of Li Gang and Wang Shu, Li Gang still couldn't believe it, said.

Both of them were looking at Zhao Chen, only to see that Zhao Chen had already put on a long robe, but Zhao Chen's face was covered with sweat, Zhao Chen's hair was only pulled together at the back, and his expression looked casual and casual. Chic! If they weren't wearing dragon robes, they would almost have thought that this was not an emperor but an ordinary soldier!

"They are not 'vulgar' soldiers! They are all soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty. They sweated and bled for our Great Song Dynasty. Don't use the word "vulgar" on them in the future!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"My minister made a slip of the tongue!" Li Gang said hastily.

But Wang Shu saw the expressions of gratitude in the eyes of the soldiers of the forbidden army behind!

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, we want Mr. Li Ruoshui to return to Hanzhong to serve as Yushi Zhongcheng! Moreover, we haven't seen His Majesty for many days, so we don't know how His Majesty is doing, so we came here to take a look!" Li Gang said.

"Li Ruoshui is my teacher, and he is upright. I am very satisfied with him being the censor Zhongcheng! But if he becomes the censor Zhongcheng, who will be the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan? Sichuan has a large population, prosperous commerce, and important status. We must not ignore it here!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, I have discussed with Wang Shu for several days, and they all feel that Zhao Kai can be the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan!" Li Gang said.

"Zhao Kai? Does he hold any position now?" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

He didn't have this person in his memory, and he didn't know the details of this person, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, this Zhao Kai is now a transit magistrate in Sichuan. He is responsible for transporting silk cloth from various prefectures in Sichuan to all parts of the country every year! This person is very good at managing money. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, this person was very famous! Later, Lord Li Ruoshui went to Chengdu. After the government, this person is also an important assistant of Mr. Li! Moreover, we have investigated and found that this person is very clean and has never been corrupted, so we think he can serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan!" Li Gangdao.

"Then let him come to Hanzhong first. I have to take a good look at him and ask him, and then I can decide whether to let him serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! Weichen immediately ordered him to come to Hanzhong after returning!" Li Gang said.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, you have been in the army for more than a month! Although important events in the court are also sent to the army, it is a waste of time! Your Majesty, I think you should return to Hanzhong!" Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "For the time being, I can't return to Hanzhong!"

Wang Shu said: "Why?"

Zhao Chen said: "The Forbidden Army is really bad! Today is a troubled time, and the army is extremely important. With the army in front of me, not only can I not regain the territory, but I can't even keep Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu! Therefore, I want to stay in the army for a while. Time to train this army well!"

Wang Shu was taken aback, he looked around, and said softly: "Your Majesty, didn't you come to the army to subdue the hearts of the soldiers? I think the soldiers of the imperial army have already recognized His Majesty very much, and they should not rebel again. Don't worry, Your Majesty! "

Zhao Chen laughed loudly and said, "You really underestimated me! I came here not only to subdue the hearts of the soldiers! I also want to personally train an invincible army! The Jurchens only have a population of several hundred thousand , with less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, you can be invincible in the world! Our Han people have a population of 10 million and millions of soldiers and horses. They are not their opponents. One of the important reasons for this is that the army is too poor! As long as our army If we can improve a little bit, our 100,000 troops can defeat their 10,000 troops, then our one million troops can defeat their 100,000 troops! We have no shortage of people, what we lack are excellent soldiers! I want to be great Song has trained tens of thousands of excellent soldiers!"

As for the so-called "conquer the hearts of the soldiers", of course Zhao Chen also has such a purpose! He stayed in the army for a month and trained with the soldiers every day. After training every day, he ate, drank and talked with the soldiers. At night, he even came to the soldiers' barracks to sleep with the soldiers! His actions have moved this army to the extreme! Although this army used to belong to Zhe Keqiu, but Zhe Keqiu didn't say that they trained, ate together, and slept together with them. It is not easy for ordinary soldiers like them to meet Zhe Keqiu! Comparing the two, any soldier would know who is higher and who is lower between Zhao Chen and Zhe Keqiu! Now, don't say that Zhe Keqiu is dead, even if Zhe Keqiu is still alive, it is impossible to take away this army! Every soldier in this army is loyal to Zhao Chen and has no second thoughts!

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen couldn't help showing a smile on his face!

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, and said, "How will Your Majesty train the imperial army?"

Zhao Chen said: "If you stay in the barracks for a while, you will naturally understand! Over the past month, General Yue and I have compiled the infantry drill code, you can read it carefully!"

Wang Shu said: "My minister must pay homage to it!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Stay in the barracks first! I will continue to train with the soldiers! Don't leave today, I will discuss political affairs with you at night!"

That afternoon Li Gang and Wang Shu stayed in the barracks, and they found the sound of training everywhere in the barracks! Every general and every soldier is training! There are neat phalanxes everywhere, and soldiers who assassinate together everywhere!

Li Gang and Wang Shu felt as if they were in a dream! One of them is an important minister in the court, Li Gang who has been an official since the time of Song Huizong, and the other is Wang Shu who has been in the Jingyuan army for many years. They have seen many troops, but they have never I have seen any army training as much as the army in front of me!

The morale of this army far exceeds any army they have ever seen!

"Even our Jingyuan Army has never trained like this! The weather is so hot, the soldiers of the Jingyuan Army have to rest! Wait until the weather is cold before training!" Wang Shu said.

"I heard from the soldiers of the Forbidden Army that they trained once a day, it's unbelievable!" Li Gang said.

"One training per day! The original Jingyuan Army only trained every five days! Even so, if it rains, the wind blows, or the weather is too hot, they will stop! If the Jingyuan Army dares to train every day, the soldiers will first No!" Wang Shu said.

"It seems that His Majesty's military training is really unique!" Li Gang said.

Both of them were amazed in their hearts. If Zhao Chen knew how to forbear and have outstanding scheming, it was unbelievable for them to kill in one fell swoop and stabilize the situation in Hanzhong and Sichuan, but now that Zhao Chen knows how to train troops makes them feel even more unbelievable! They felt that the emperor was like a man descended from heaven, omniscient and omnipotent! Such an emperor has never appeared in all dynasties, let alone in the Song Dynasty!

"I want to read the infantry drill code written by His Majesty!" Wang Shu said.

He was originally from the army, and he was also very interested in the methods of military training. Seeing that Zhao Chen seems to be very confident in the so-called infantry drills at this moment, he also became curious!

At that moment, Li Gang and Wang Shu came to Yue Fei's room, where they saw the written infantry drill code!

The commonly used training items are listed in this infantry drill book, and all commonly used training items are standardized! Including the purpose and meaning of each training item are written in it! In the past, there was also queue training in the army when practicing formations, but the queue training at that time was extremely rough, as long as you could arrive at the specified position within the specified time, and the queue training in the infantry drills was about when to buy and where to go. Every step is stipulated, how to maintain the formation when the queue advances, etc., what two people form a row, three people form a column, etc. are all written out! There are walking training, running training, rapid march training, mountain training and many other training items, which they have never seen before. The effects of these training items on the body and endurance are also written in it! Fighting spears, how to prepare and attack in a unified way, when you see the order, demand to rush towards the enemy with the sound of "kill" with bravery, resoluteness, and overwhelming momentum! If the order is placed, how several soldiers gather together, how to cooperate together, etc. are all written in it!

All the events are completely standardized, each event is divided into several movements, and the essentials of each movement are written in it. Usually training should be done in full accordance with these essentials! In later generations, this is a very normal thing! Since the German army became the world's most powerful army, all countries in the world have followed the German method for military training, but these are unimaginable in this era!

In addition to training items, there are combat items in it! Before the battle, how should the generals of the army boost their morale! When fighting, if it is in the mountains, how to find the way out, how to contact the friendly army! If it is dark night, how to hide yourself, how to contact, etc. are all written in it! How to deal with all kinds of situations are written in it!

At the end of the infantry drill code, the importance of spiritual strength in the army is mentioned! The generals of the army should always educate the soldiers, let the soldiers know who to fight for and why! In the past, the people in ancient China were unwilling to serve as soldiers. Being a soldier was a lowly job. Soldiers just swarmed up with their generals. Zhao Chen wants to instill these thoughts into the common people!

At the end of the Infantry Manual, it means that this book has not been completely written, and there are still many things that need to be added or deleted!

The two were fascinated, they never thought that there are so many ways to train soldiers!

Until Zhao Chen came in, they were still watching intently!
