Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"What do you think of the infantry drill code we compiled?" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty is really a god! We can't believe it, His Majesty wrote these!" Li Gang noticed Zhao Chen coming in, and raised his head immediately.

"I didn't write this alone, it was written by me and Yue Fei together!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"These are all His Majesty's ideas, and the last general dare not take credit for them!" Yue Fei said hastily, standing behind Zhao Chen.

"The sea is open to all rivers, tolerance is great! You two take a look, is there anything that needs to be added or changed in this infantry drill?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, your method of training soldiers is different from that of famous generals of all dynasties. I don't know if the soldiers trained in this way are really elite?" Li Gang thought for a while and said.

This is what he is most suspicious of now. In the past, military training was mainly to practice martial arts, and occasionally to practice formations. Zhao Chen added so many useful and useless places! Including running, formation training, mountain training, assault training, etc., he really doesn't know if these are really useful!

"You don't have to doubt this! You will naturally see its effect in future battles!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

These are the military training methods of thousands of years later, which are countless times more advanced than the military training methods of this era! In particular, the concept of standardization and systemization contained in it is far beyond this era! The Germans have trained real professional soldiers by this method, and the Japanese have turned from a weak army to a strong army by this method! Later, all countries used this method, which naturally has its own unique features! Of course, it was the end of the cold weapon era when the Germans of later generations created this method, and it was already the hot weapon era when the Japanese came, but no matter what, this method itself is absolutely correct! Aiming at the reality of the era of cold weapons, it needs to make many changes, which is why Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and others have studied together. Zhao Chen has many places to ask Yue Fei and others for advice!

"Your Majesty's method of training troops is better than all famous generals in ancient and modern times! In Yue's view, although it is only a month, the Forbidden Army has undergone earth-shaking changes! Whether it is the physical condition of the soldiers or the morale of the army, it is far more than that. In the past! Don't worry, the two adults, this method is absolutely feasible!" Yue Fei said.

Yue Fei was the number one general in the Song Dynasty, but it's a pity that he doesn't have any fame now! He has a unique vision and can see the advancement of this set of military training methods! However, Li Gang is still skeptical about what he said!

"I think His Majesty's military training method is feasible! When I first came to the Forbidden Army, the Forbidden Army was not what it is now! At that time, the Forbidden Army was extremely lazy, far behind the Jingyuan Army! Now it is only January, I think This army is no longer under the Jingyuan Army!" Wang Shu said.

"Really?" Li Gang said in disbelief.

"It's natural!" Wang Shu laughed.

Wang Shu was already surprised and admired by Zhao Chen! He really couldn't imagine how a prince who came out of the palace and an emperor who had never dealt with the army could come up with these genius training methods! Naturally, he didn't know that Zhao Chen came from later generations, these are just summaries of experience from later generations! If Zhao Chen is not the emperor, just relying on this method of military training is enough to make him famous forever!

"It is difficult to train strong soldiers without the guidance of good generals alone. The forbidden army used to be a Zhejia army, and its military discipline, morale, and morale were really bad, so I want to stay here, and I want to accompany this army." Change the army together! With me here, this army can quickly become the invincible army I want in my heart! Therefore, I will stay here for a long time! You guys handle it, and I have one more thing for you to do!" Zhao Chen said.

"I don't know what it is?" Li Gang asked.

"You find some literati and scholars and let them join the imperial army!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah! Your Majesty, what do you need scholars and scholars to do in the army? Is it for advice?" Li Gang said in surprise.

"You have also read the infantry drill code. It is written in the back, let the soldiers know why they are fighting and who they are fighting for. With this kind of education, the army will never become a private army. The soldiers will only be loyal to us and to Da Song, you don’t have to worry about army rebellion anymore! However, the military generals are not educated enough, so it’s obviously impossible for them to do these things, so I want to recruit some literati and talents to do these things! Once these literati and talents enter the army, they are also soldiers. Their status is equal to that of generals, but they are not allowed to command the army at will, they are only responsible for educating soldiers!" Zhao Chen said.

These literati and scholars are equivalent to the "political commissars" of later generations, who are responsible for ideological education! In times of war, they also play a role in boosting morale! In some respects, they are somewhat similar to the ancient supervisory army, except that the supervisory army is to monitor high-ranking officials, and they go deep into the army, and they have to stay with the soldiers on weekdays. Their role is only to carry out political and ideological education, It is impossible to command the army beyond authority at any time!

"Your Majesty can come up with such a trick to control the army. I admire you! Your Majesty, I think that in addition to the Forbidden Army, some literati and scholars can also be placed in the Jingyuan Army and the Huanqing Army. Soldiers!" Wang Shu said.

Wang Shu admired Zhao Chen's move to the extreme! He thinks this is the best way for the monarch to control the army, and he will educate the emperor every day. Even if the general wants to rebel, the soldiers will not follow the general to rebel! He still didn't understand the deep meaning of Zhao Chen's implementation of this system, mainly to enhance the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army, not just to prevent the army from rebelling!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do this well! After we return to Hanzhong, we will immediately recruit a group of literati and scholars into the army!" Li Gang said.

"Very good! But this method of troop training is only implemented in the forbidden army now! If it is possible to implement it in other armies in the future!" Zhao Chen said.

Li Gang and Wang Shu stayed in the barracks that night, discussing political affairs with Zhao Chen! Now Zhekeqiu Party has been killed, but many local officials in Hanzhong, Sichuan, Shuan, and Guanshan used to rely on bribes to get high positions. Li Gang asked if these officials should be taken down and when they should be taken down!

Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, "Now the overall situation has just stabilized, so there shouldn't be too many changes! Let's not touch the officials in the local state capital, but you should keep an eye on them! After half a year, the situation will stabilize. , If someone is corrupt or rebellious, then I will show no mercy! If someone has not done anything wrong in the past six months, then even if they rely on bribes to get into an official position, I can forgive them!"

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty is wise! It should be so!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "I've been training for a day, and I'm really tired! If there's nothing else, let's go to sleep now!"

Everyone rested in the barracks that night, and early the next morning, Zhao Chen still trained with the soldiers, while Li Gang, Wang Shu and others returned to Hanzhong to continue handling the world's political affairs!

"Your Majesty, you don't care about the political affairs and leave the political affairs to the two of them. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do so?" Yue Fei said a little puzzled.

"Of course I can't completely hand over political affairs to them! Political affairs must be in my own hands! I have an idea in my heart, and I will tell you in a few days! In troubled times, the army is the most important thing! I Let's control the army first!" Zhao Chen said, shaking his head.

*** ***

In the middle of the night on July 15th, there was a piercing whistle outside the barracks!

Hearing the whistle, the soldiers in the barracks were awakened one after another. Countless soldiers hurriedly put on their clothes and ran outside!

According to the regulations in the infantry drill code, once the soldiers receive the signal for emergency assembly, they must assemble within half a quarter of an hour! Soldiers must dress neatly, and troops must line up neatly!

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei had already come outside. Under the moonlight, they stood there waiting for the soldiers to arrive!

The sound of running hurriedly came from the side, countless soldiers came to their troops, and the generals of the troops ordered the soldiers to line up in an orderly manner!

"It's been half an hour!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, our training is still not enough! Some people still haven't come!" Yue Fei said.

"It's already very good, most of the soldiers have already come! A few soldiers are running towards here now! Give them another half a quarter of an hour! Today is the first time, and after training a few more times, they will naturally Gradually meet the standard!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Yue Fei nodded!

After a quarter of an hour, finally all the soldiers have arrived!

The training field was very quiet, no one was whispering, it was completely different from when Zhao Chen just arrived that day! Zhao Chen was slightly satisfied!

"Today is an urgent march training. Let's head towards the Qinling Mountains! A total of 300 miles, we must arrive within three days! I will walk forward with you!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

At present, Zhao Chen and Yue Fei are heading towards the north, and behind them, various armies under the leadership of various generals are also heading towards the north!

In the dim night, the soldiers marched extremely fast!

An hour later, they had already passed the city gate of Hanzhong, and it was still extremely dark at this moment! They keep going!

The soldiers were able to persevere on the first day, and they rested in the field at night!

By the second day, some soldiers had already fallen behind!

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei were originally at the front of the army, but now they came to the back of the army. Seeing a soldier who was sweating and almost unable to walk, Zhao Chen hurriedly came to his side and said, "Why don't you How is it?"

Seeing that it was Zhao Chen, the soldier hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do!"

Zhao Chen took out the skin bag and said, "Look at your sweaty face, drink some water first!"

After the soldier drank the water, he gritted his teeth and moved on!

Over there, Zhao Chen saw someone with a sprained ankle and limped forward. At that moment, Zhao Chen supported the soldier and led the soldier forward!

"Your Majesty, the villain has really burdened Your Majesty!" The soldier was anxious and grateful at the same time, and he couldn't help crying.

"A man, don't shed tears when you bleed and sweat! Never do this again!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the villain is loyal to you and is willing to go through fire and water for you!" the soldier choked up.

"Very good! In the future, you will perform well in training, and you must not hold back!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" The soldier nodded while gritting his teeth.

"What's your name?" Zhao Chen asked again.

"Xu Qing, a villain, originally from the Hedong family, and later came to Hanzhong with General Yue! It's just that the villain doesn't have much ability, so he is still an ordinary soldier now!" he said.

Yue Fei came to Hanzhong with thousands of volunteers, but later the Zhejia Army became the Forbidden Army. Many officers in the Zhejia Army were missing. Yue Fei placed many rebel soldiers as officers, but some of them still existed as ordinary soldiers!

"Xu Qing! Your name is Xu Qing?" Zhao Chen was taken aback. This person was one of the main generals of the Yue Family Army in history. He didn't expect that he was just a soldier now!

"Yes, the villain's name is Xu Qing!" Xu Qing nodded.

"I believe that you will be able to make some achievements in the future and build a career!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you Your Majesty, the villain will not disappoint Your Majesty!" Xu Qing said.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he just supported Xu Qing forward! Xu Qing wanted to break away from Zhao Chen a few times. He felt that he was dragging Zhao Chen down, but Zhao Chen didn't agree and still led him forward!

The more he got to the end, the more Xu Qing was moved. He suppressed his tears and didn't let himself cry again!

Zhao Chen was helping those who fell behind, and the rest of the army naturally did not dare to slack off. They either supported the fallen soldiers or carried them on their backs. Let's move forward together!

"Three hundred miles in three days, this was unimaginable before! Only by following His Majesty can such a thing be done!" Yue Fei secretly said.

On the second night, Zhao Chen was sitting among the soldiers. He had a meal with the soldiers, and then said: "Tell me, what's wrong with our army now? If it can be changed, I will definitely find a way." Change it!"
