Chapter 202

When he was the governor of Baokang Army, the deputy envoy of Sichuan, the general leader of Sichuan's financial tuition, and the magistrate of Chongqing Prefecture, Lu Wende came to Guangyang Island.

This small island is full of energy.

The soldiers of the brigade were bare-handedly wearing a white sweat jacket that ordinary people often wore in summer, linen pants underneath, and felt hats of Song army on their heads. Tens of thousands of people were dressed neatly and stood on the playground, with the scorching sun above their heads no less than the hot sun in early autumn. Standing in front of the soldiers were officers wearing red battle jackets and carrying swords and scimitars. A kind of strictness and sternness unique to the army was revealed.

What is being conducted is queue training, not to show off.

From the age of cold weapons to the later era of breech guns, there was no war on the battlefield, and even loose scattered troops was not the mainstream. Most infantry and even cavalry were arranged in a strict formation to march or fight.

The tactics used by the Chen family army now - the combination of sky thunder, strong crossbows, long spears, and grenades - require more strict battle formations and close cooperation between various troops. It can be said that the Chen family army's land battle is not personal courage, but the collective strength that combines tens of people. In order to achieve this, the Chen family army's training intensity is extremely high, and it is definitely one of the best among the army in this era.

If the ordinary Song army was trained like this, it would probably be almost impossible to change the camp. However, in the Chen family army, with high-intensity training, there were also various brainwashing methods that allowed the brains of the Chen family soldiers to be occupied by the deep hatred of the Mongolian Tartars. At the same time, of course, there was also a better food supply than the ordinary Song army. There was also a fair reward and punishment system.

The training for a morning was approaching its end, just next to the Chenjiajun Daying Schoolyard, a large open space had been vacant, covered with reed mats. The military chefs with more than 100 white aprons were guarding in front of a huge iron pot. Each iron pot was emitting an attractive aroma. The lid was opened, and each pot was either piled up in a hill-shaped salted fish and roasted pork or vegetables.

Although the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty was developed at this time, the lives of ordinary people were extremely hard under the years of war. They were even during festivals, such as gluten, tofu, vegetables, fried eggs, etc., but with more oil. Meat and fishy food, even ordinary rich households are rare to eat.

Not to mention the bitter men in the Chen family's army, even the personal soldiers who were rushing along the way with Lu Wende were all straight. Even they could eat such braised pork!

The order to disband and eat was finally issued. The soldiers on the school ground did not rush up, but lined up in an extremely orderly manner to leave the venue. They did not line up to eat immediately, but went to their respective barracks to wash up, and then took the tableware - they were all wooden bowls and chopsticks, made by carpenters in the army themselves. They were not very good-looking, but they were sturdy and durable.

After getting the tableware, the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner to receive food, first picking up meat and vegetables, and then sitting in a circle on the reed mat under the team leader. There are two large wooden barrels in the middle of the reed mat. One bucket is full of rice, eat it casually, but it cannot be wasted. One bucket is egg flower soup, which is also drunk casually. As usual, the soldiers use it first and the officers eat it later.

When the soldiers were having dinner, the team generals and other low-level officers watched with their hands behind their backs, and they were just training and fighting. The rules that were not asked were different. The officers and instructors of the Chen family not only had an extra brainwashing job, but also had to manage the lives of the soldiers below. For example, after dinner, supervised them to wash dishes, check the barracks after dinner, and arrange special people to do chores such as getting water, boiling water, and sweeping every day. Check whether the soldiers' uniforms and bedding were clean, urged soldiers to maintain their armor and weapons, and even check the situation of removing garbage and toilets - there is a place where epidemics are breeding.

In short, the officers who are responsible for the Chen family army have many trivial matters to deal with. Shangguan is very careful and routine random inspections every few days. Whoever does not do a good job can be beaten and closed to a small black room, and the worst will be demoted. It is true that military law is ruthless. Even Chen Dexing's brothers have been trampled on the mines and punished in public without mercy. Of course, after the punishment, Chen Dexing has naturally given a false condolence and comfort in private.

"Qingzhi, I heard Mu Ban talk about all the things about your Chen family army. I didn't believe that there were such troops in the world, but now I'm really open to my eyes. No wonder the Tartars's great sweat is in your hands..."

When Lu Wende said this, he glanced at Chen Dexing meaningfully. Although Chen Dexing gave up the great achievements of killing Mengge, who is Lu Wende? He still doesn't know what the troops in Sichuan look like? If he guards the dangerous castle, it is possible to kill a Mongolian general who took the risk. But if he takes the initiative to attack and kill the Mongolian Khan, he will not believe it.

Chen Dexing said ah, but said quietly: "Shiweng, the younger generation's methods of training troops have been written into "Cause and Ordinance". Lu Muban also has a copy. If the Lu family army wants to implement it, there will be no difficulty."

Lu Wende waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I have read your "Character Code", "Document", and textbooks from the military academy. It's just that knowing it is easy and difficult to do it. I know the truth, but it is impossible to implement it in the Lu family army... This is a general trend and cannot be stopped by human forces. Now that Mengge Khan dies, the Northern Barbarians will always be in chaos for a while. Their Khan is not the father and son, but the Kuritai Congress recommended it. Everyone can do Genghis Khan's descendants, maybe it's an internal strife. Our Song Dynasty will always have a peaceful life of ten or twenty years. If the luck is better, the two sides can make peace. In another few decades, Mongolia will probably be the same as the Jurchens.

This is really a blessing from the Song Dynasty! Once this external trouble is gone, it seems that my Song Dynasty is still acting according to the family rules of the ancestors. Qingzhi, I have known what your future is... Actually, it is also good, why bother to do more? If the censor in the court is impeached, this good thing may be a mess!"

Lu Wende said this kindly, just like an old elder warning the younger generation who likes to cause trouble. However, Chen Dexing knew that things were far from as good as Lu Wende imagined! After going to a Meng Ge, the one who changed into Kublai Khan was even more difficult to deal with!

He just smiled reluctantly and changed the topic: "Wen, I've already prepared a banquet for you to welcome you."

"No need, just eat here." Lu Wende smiled and pointed at the soldiers who were burying their heads in front of them. "When I saw them, I remembered what happened back then... I remember when I joined the army with a group of Anfeng brothers, it was like this that everyone was making a living in the same pot, sharing blessings and suffering difficulties. How could there be wealth and comfort today?"

When the Lu family army shared the good fortunes and blessings with his brothers in the past, the Lu family army was also a powerful force under Zhao Kui. Now it is a gradually decaying team...

"Then it's Jian Gushiweng." Chen Dexing did not pretend to be polite anymore. He raised his hand and made a gesture of Suke, and invited Lu Wende aside. He left the place where the soldiers had eaten far away. Of course, he could not sit on the ground. Chen Dexing's personal guard brought tables, chairs, benches, and used a basin-like wooden basin to serve rice, dishes, soup and water.

"It tastes good!" Lu Wende took a piece of braised pork and chewed it in his mouth, and praised it with a smile.

Chen Dexing, along with the accompanying monk Liu, Taoist Ren, Lu Shihu on the side of Lu Wende and several other nephews of the Lu family all sat down separately, took the dishes, served rice, and ate them with Lu Wende. Just after taking a few bites of the food, Lu Wende had already put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Chen Dexing with a smile.

"You must know the family rules of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, right? We military officials are ultimately not as good as civil servants. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, all generals have either gone to the path of relatives and nobles after becoming famous or taught their descendants to study, so that they can become civil servants in the future by relying on imperial examination articles. Didn't the descendants of Yue Wumu and Han Zhongwu all become civil servants?"

Yue Fei's son Yue Lin entered the official position after Yue Fei was rehabilitated and was appointed as the chief civil servant of the eighth rank. Before his death, he served as the court to the court to hire a doctor, Fu Wenge Assistant, Minister of War, and Minister of Guangdong's politicians, became a member of the senior civil servants of the Song Dynasty. His sons Yue Cong and Yue Chen were both appointed as the military rank. At first, they were the same as Chen Dexing's trust in the martial arts rank, but later Yue Cong transferred his literary resources and Yue Chen died early. His third son Yue Ke was a Jinshi and became the third rank. The Yue family had no connection with the general since then.

Han Shizhong's three sons were all civil servants. Among them, the eldest son Han Yanzhi passed the imperial examination in Shaoxing in the 18th year. Although he once served as the commander of the imperial army in Ezhou and led a few years of soldiers, he was still a civil servant. The Han family also evolved into a family of civil servants who passed on poetry and rituals.

As for the examples of the descendants of the generals marrying the Tian family and turning into relatives and nobles, there were countless examples of the descendants of the Song Dynasty. Although the national policy of the Song Dynasty was to value literature and neglect military officials, there were countless examples of the princess pursuing martial artists and men entering the palace. Four of the five emperors from the Southern Song Dynasty to this day have made the daughters of military officials the queen.

In fact, the officials of the Song Dynasty did not simply suppress the martial artists, but fought and pulled them while fighting. They had transferred their literary resources to senior martial artists, and they transferred their relatives to two gold parachutes, and they used generous rewards to buy them with lower-level soldiers, so that they would not follow the military leaders above to make trouble.
