Chapter 723 How are elite soldiers trained? Part 1
Shizhou was a prefecture and county established after the Dangxiang people established the Xixia people. Shizhou City was naturally expanded by the Dangxiang people based on a county town originally belonging to Yinzhou. Because it was a fortress guarding the border and the garrison of Xiangyou Military Office, the castle was built quite solidly.
Now this sturdy castle, along with several surrounding forts, has fallen into the hands of the Song Dynasty. Now it has become the prefecture of Yinzhou, the Song Dynasty, and its name has been changed from Shizhou to Shicheng.
In Shicheng today, there are traffic at the city gates. Vehicles and troops enter and exit through several city gates. Most of the vehicles entering the city are filled with food, supplies, and they are transported from the Suide Army and Yan'an Prefecture near Yinzhou.
The carriages filled with grain and other materials stopped in front of the warehouses that had been well-built and reinforced in the city. Immediately, strong soldiers came forward under the supervision of the officers, carried bags of rice, grain and supplies, and piled them into the warehouse with sweat. The order was in order and there was no chaos at all.
Those who left the city were soldiers with strict formations and well-armed armored soldiers, carrying long spears and knife bows, and were out of the city for training under the command of the officers.
"I really didn't expect that Brother Bo Chong was so well organized." Xue Sichang, the judge of the transfer of Fuyan Road, strode in from outside the Yinzhou Prefecture Office, with a look of surprise. "It's only been so many days. Not only the granaries and horse farms in Yinzhou City are fully equipped, and the roads along the way have been renovated. Even Shicheng is ready. Sichang feels inferior to this skill, and only his father can compare."
Xue Sichang and Su Chi are very familiar with each other. They are both from a family of officials. Xue Sichang's father was Xue Xiang, who was known as the scattered officials and was particularly good at business and finance. He was once a good assistant to Wang Anshi's reform, and he was also a genius of the scattered officials and the delivery officers.
Now Xue Sichang is more proud of Su Chi's talent than his father, so he naturally has the intention of praising him, but he is somewhat impressed.
This time, Su Chi did not establish a transfer system on the land inherent in the Song Dynasty, but established a transfer system on the territory that had just been seized from the Western thieves. The Western thieves had long since withdrew most of the population, and the bridges and warehouses that could be destroyed were also destroyed.
Now in just over a month, not only have they been repaired, but the large number of soldiers, chariots and horses used to transport materials were all arranged in an orderly manner.
This is not all. On the way to Shicheng for inspection, he also found that many temporary military camps had been established on the north bank of Wuding River, and many government soldiers carrying hoes were already sorting out the land.
The efficiency of this service is really ridiculously high.
"Brother Wenfu praised the wrong person," Su Chi raised his head from a pile of books, looked at Xue Sichang, and smiled bitterly, "They were the ones who repaired Yinzhou, Shicheng, and the bridges along the way, and the roads were allocated by the Sanzhi Imperial Army's military commanders, setting up warehouses, horse farms, and commanding the government troops to transport grain, grass and supplies."
"Military command?" Xue Sichang was stunned and stunned, "What is this?"
"It is the aide of the Yuhousi of the Sanzhidu, and Wu Chongdao commanded the 30,000 army with their assistance."
"How can the military aides interfere in the transfer of transportation? Moreover, the Yuhou Si of the Sanzhidu cannot take care of Yinzhou's affairs." Xue Sichang shook his head, took a bowl of hot tea, and took a few sips.
The Sanzhidu Yuhou Office is equivalent to the commander of the army or the general manager of the whole line, and is in charge of the army and not the people. Moreover, the Sanzhi army was transferred from Kaifeng Prefecture, not from Yinzhou or the Fuyan Road, so it cannot control the transfer and civil affairs.
Sitting down on a white chair made by a craftsman under the command of a Sanzhi Army Engineer, Xue Sichang said again: "And those vulgar martial artists can handle the Transportation Department's affairs in an orderly manner?" He frowned, "Will those martial artists use severe punishments and force the soldiers to transfer day and night?"
"Where are there? They are not vulgar martial artists." Su Chi glanced at Xue Sichang. He originally meant that military affairs could not control the transfer and civil affairs, but he could not stand up to all kinds of talents. "Wu Chongdao established the powerful force of Jiehe Commercial City out of thin air. His Jiehe Maritime Shipping Department shipped 1.5 million stones of wheat to Luoyang Baibo a year, and transported hundreds of thousands of pieces of wood from Song to Kaifeng Prefecture, and built so many houses in Kaifeng Prefecture... Do you think he has any capable people?
The people under him were all trained in the business world, and they acted without coercion, and they were dedicated to temptations."
It is nothing more than a reasonable incentive mechanism to make people work hard. How can it be rare to defeat the giant businessman Wu Haogu?
Xue Sichang was silent for a moment and showed an expression of interest. He and Wu Haogu actually knew each other. His brother Xue Shaopeng was a master of calligraphy and painting. Like Mi Fu, he was good at appreciating and making fakes. Of course, Wu Haogu is a person in the same circle. Although Xue Sichang was not as good as his brother in calligraphy and painting, he was also a player and his family was very rich, so he bought a lot of things from Christie's and collected authentic works by Wu Haogu.
Su Chi smiled and said, "But the most powerful military command is to train soldiers... Do you know what kind of people are most of the military commands? Tell you, except for the managers drawn from Jiehe Shang City, Maritime and Republican Bureau, they are all students from the former Military Academy. They all transferred knights and served in Yumazhi in front of the hall. Wu Chongdao brought Zhao Zhongge, a professor from the former Military Academy, to take office. Many students from the former Military Academy were drawn from Yumazhi. Some of them were involved in the military officer command, and most of them took over the command of 20 Mansion soldiers. Now they are training the 10,000 Mansion soldiers day and night."
Xue Sichang was also aware of military affairs. After hearing Su Chi's introduction, he seemed even more surprised and asked: "Aren't those soldiers in the palace only used for farming and transportation? How can they be used for war?"
"There is a large camp of the Sanzhi Army in Shizhou City. They fuck each morning and afternoon every day, and sometimes they even go out for night... Brother Wenfu should see them going out for training when he entered the city."
Fuck in the morning and in the afternoon, and sometimes they even go out for night fuck! Xue Sichang thought to himself: Do those soldiers in the palace also want to try the Dragon Warriors to get the house in Kaifeng Mansion?
He thought about it and it was wrong, "But the soldiers in the palace are all farmers who do not know martial arts. How could they practice it in a hurry?"
"I don't understand this," Su Chi said, "Brother Wenfu can go and ask Wu Chongdao."
"Didn't Wu Chongdao go to Kaifeng Prefecture to report his work?"
"I'm back," said Su Chi, "I'm back on the 25th of the first lunar month... As soon as I come back, I'm busy training and preparing for war. Now I'm busy working in the training ground outside the city. Let's go and have a look together."
"Are you actually in the training ground?" Xue Sichang was stunned. Wu Haogu is now the governor of the territorial sea prefecture of the Western Shanghemen. The sixth-rank military officer also took over Yaojun! And he is also the chief general of the Sanzhi Imperial Army. The military officers of this level are from the Kaifeng Imperial Army system, and even from the Western Army system, they have long been high. How could they rush to the military camp all day long?
"Right foot! Lift the right foot! Do you know that it's right?"
"Look to the right and look at it!"
"It's slanted, but it's still slanted..."
There were waves of scolding in Wu Haogu's ears, all the officers of Yulong Mengshi and Yulong Weizhi were shouting.
He was riding a horse and slowly walking in a large campus, his eyes sliding across the rows of soldiers holding long poles (the spear that pulled out the tip of the gun) or carrying the knife bow.
They are conducting the simplest queue training, which is to start, turn left, turn right, etc. There was no such queue method in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wu Haogu introduced this method into his own fake sub-corps. Later, Murong Wang and Zhao Zhonggeyou learned it to train the knight queue. The cavalry queue came to Wu Haogu's three straight lines in front of the hall, and this method was used to train the spearmen in the palace again.
In fact, spearmen are the most important in formation. Unlike swords and shields, they rely mainly on their personal martial arts to make a difference. Spikes are the "city wall" on the battlefield and are used to deal with enemy cavalry charges.
If the formation is very well trained, they can even form dense formations and conduct spear assaults. When the spear assaults, the more neat the formation and dense the spear, the greater the power.
The personal martial arts of the spearman can be almost ignored. As long as he can hold the spear tightly and hit people with a spear, it is enough.
Therefore, after the battle between the two sides came to an end in the twelfth month of last year, the "fighting palace soldiers" who were included in the Yulong Mengshi Nao and Yulong Neiwei Nao have been practicing hard.
However, after practicing for more than a month, the effect was still disappointing. The team was crooked, and many soldiers were still inseparable from each other.
However, because there are small competitions every ten days, the winning spear can get bonuses, and the last one will be punished, so everyone is quite motivated to practice.
"Brother Zhong, you will be on the battlefield in April at the latest... Can it work?" Wu Haogu turned around and asked Brother Zhao Zhong who was half a horse behind him.
"Can you make do with it." Zhao Zhongge smiled, "In fact, if you don't fight in the wilderness, these spearmen will only strengthen their momentum... Xiazhou's attack mainly depends on Silang's engineers and Dragon Warriors. The Grand Marshal brought more than 2,100 Dragon Warriors this time! Now we have more than 5,000 Dragon Warriors. Xiazhou City is iron-clad, and the subordinates can take it away."
Wu Haogu smiled: "I don't know if it's our turn to fight in Xiazhou City? After the weather is warm, the troops from Fuyan Road, Huanqing Road and Hedong Road will gather. There are no 100,000, and there are eighty thousand, but they are all ready to make contributions!"
"It's my turn," Zhao Zhong smiled, "Surprises! The Grand Marshal thought that the Western thief Xiazhou City was so easy to fight? Let me tell you, that is, our three-in-command can fight, and no other soldiers can think of it."
