The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 87 Heterogeneous

After dinner, Zhao Tang and the Huojun people boiled several large pots of boiling water, one for the soldiers to drink, and the other for the soldiers to wash their feet (). "Please familiarize yourself with the domain name." According to the military regulations formulated by Zhao Tun, except for special circumstances, the water must be boiled. ).Because Zhao Tuo knew that besides fighting, another important reason for the large-scale casualties of the army was the epidemic, and the large-scale non-combat attrition caused by the epidemic caused the entire army to be wiped out not only often in ancient times, but also in modern armies. abound.

Taking advantage of the free time after the meal, the soldiers were busy wiping and maintaining their weapons and tidying up their personal hygiene.Doctors from the health team also began to patrol the capitals to see if anyone was sick or injured. It was the cold winter season, and frostbite would occur if the protection was not adequate.At the same time, they used Huojun's cauldron to boil Chinese medicine and made a soup for everyone to take, even Zhao Tun was no exception.

This herbal soup is actually the "Xiangrui Drink" sold by street vendors in Tokyo. Its main function is to relax and harmonize Qi, to treat inappropriate diet, loss of time when hungry and full, or too much cold food, or hard objects, or sleep after eating. , or anxiety, worry, anger, or fatigue, disharmony between the spleen and stomach, stagnation in the abdomen, wind-cold feeling from the inside, cold pathogenicity from the outside, aversion to cold and strong heat, pain all over the body, fullness in the chest and diaphragm, hormonal vomiting, spleen pain Stomach upset... all of them are included in the treatment of Xiangruyin, which can be called the ancient version of panacea.Especially typhoid fever and headache in four seasons, as long as you drink three doses and sweat, you can be cured.Regular consumption of fenugreek drink can also benefit the spleen and warm the stomach, dispel phlegm and stop drinking, enable people to eat, and ward off wind, cold, heat, dampness, and smog.This thing can't spend a lot of money, but it can spend a small amount of money to accomplish big things. If influenza breaks out in the army, it will not only be a matter of money, I am afraid that it will not even be able to go anywhere.

Physicians here treat people, and veterinarians over there are not idle. They also go deep into the horses to check the health of the horses. If they are sick, they will be isolated and treated immediately, and those who are injured will be given medicine immediately. The hoofs need to be replaced. The soldiers hurried to the craftsman team to replace them.Then we have to check the newly purchased horse grass and feed, and adjust the ratio of fine and coarse feed according to the horse's usage, so as to keep the horse vigorous and able to work harder the next day.This work is also very tiring. After all, they are cavalry troops. There are thousands of war horses and animals pulling the carts, but they must also do a good job of inspection.

Right at the time of You, all kinds of miscellaneous matters had been dealt with, and fires were raised in the camp. Except for the sentinels on duty, every army began to attend evening classes in units of teams. 3∴35686688 This system Zhao Tuo has been insisting on since the day he founded the new army, and it is no exception now.In the past, the captain of each team could use the evening class to talk about the art of war, tactics, health and epidemic prevention, battlefield rescue and other knowledge, and also learn culture, but now the focus has shifted to wartime. The necessary knowledge of climate, geography and combat characteristics of the enemy ().

However, the evening class organized by Zhao Tong was strongly opposed by the staff headed by He Qufei. Of course, their starting point is good. They think that soldiers don’t need to know too much, as long as they are in good health, good at martial arts, and obedient. It is good to be loyal, so as to achieve the purpose of "stupid soldiers" in order to achieve their respective duties. That is to say, the whole army only needs to have a clear head. affect combat effectiveness.This kind of view has long been criticized in the modern army. Naturally, Zhao Tang will not follow the old path because of their opposition, but insists on going his own way until now, and has carried it forward.

In fact, Zhao Tun and He Qufei had more than these differences in military matters, and they also argued during the reorganization of the army.According to the formation of the army at this time, there is a saying in the art of war: husbands and soldiers are tired and brave, and they cannot be united as one.

Therefore, soldiers without choosing the front are called north, Wu called it to solve troubles, Qi called it to decide the fate, Tang called it to jump the dang, these are also another name for choosing the front, and the winning technique of soldiers is not prior to this.Where there is a large army, the general will organize the battalions, and select elite soldiers, who must be strong and outstanding, and have excellent martial arts skills, and they will form a separate team. About ten people will choose one, and ten thousand people will choose a thousand. All categories are filled with quality and quantity.

There are also those who are brave, dead, happy and wounded, and they gather together as a pawn, and they are called warriors who dare to take the edge; Gather together as a soldier, known as a brave man. . .In addition, there are warriors of courage, warriors of warring soldiers, warriors of death struggle, warriors of death anger, dull warriors, mortal warriors, desperate warriors, and standby warriors. And the thick one belongs to the generals, and if there is an emergency, he can use it according to the situation, so that everyone can do what he can, and he will try his best to achieve the best effect!

This method of building an army does have its benefits in the era of cold weapons, but the strong will always be strong, and the weak will be weaker. As for defeat, those who are weak will have a fluctuating morale, and once the supervision is not effective, they will disperse and even lead to a mutiny!However, apart from his special forces such as his own guards and scouts, Zhao Tong's other troops are divided into specialties, using a combination of strength and weakness, and organizing troops in a way of combining old and new. Improve the overall combat effectiveness, and each technique has its own specialization, which is also easy to manage.

Another unusual feature of the new army is that officials are not greedy for money. Since ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties have used high-ranking officials and generous salaries to win over generals, and generals also use various small favors to unite their subordinates ().By this time, local officials had added money. For example, a county magistrate paid ten guan a month, two shi for rice, five shi for noodles, meals for five servants, and feed for two horses.

In addition to the additional money, the local government also gave "minister money" to Shuaichen Supervisor, Zhizhou, Tongju, Muzhizhou county magistrate, supervisor officer and military commander, etc., and provided Shuaichen with 150 guan per month. , the capital controls [-] guan per month, the control [-] guan per month, the general will have [-] guan per month, and the preparatory general will have [-] guan.In this way, the supply money becomes the official's personal entertainment expenses, which can be used as self-serving, and it becomes a considerable amount of salary in disguise.In Zhao Tong's army, everyone consciously gave the envoy's money to the accounting department. Except for public use, the rest was used as food expenses, which improved the lives of the soldiers in the headquarters. The envoy's money is worthy of the name!

Right at the hour when the lights were turned off, the sound of the lights sounded, and there was only a bonfire thirty steps outside the camp, and the rest of the fires were all extinguished. After a quarter of an hour, there was no one in the huge camp except the military academy on duty.Zhao Tun had already returned to his sleeping tent at this time, he is a prince, of course he lived in a larger place where he could stand up, a curtain divided the whole tent into two parts, and the floor was covered with felt blankets.In the front is his office, but there is only one lamp, a low table, and a cushion. Behind the curtain is his resting place.

The twelfth lunar month is about to enter, and it is the season when dripping water turns into ice. At night, the temperature is even lower. Zhao Tun sat in the tent, rubbing his hands, and examining the map spread on the table.They traveled thousands of miles from Kaifeng to Taiyuan, the governing place of Hedong Road. According to the marching route given by the Privy Council, Kaifeng-Zhengzhou-Huaizhou-Longde-Liaozhou-Yuci-Taiyuan traveled through several states, taking the traditional route. , It was also the route for the Jin Army's West Route Army to go south during the Jingkang Change.They are cavalry. Although the weather is cold now, the roads are frozen, making it easy for horses and vehicles to travel. According to the marching speed of [-] miles a day, they can reach it in about half a month.

"Second Master, it's cold!" Just as Zhao Tang was researching the marching route, the door curtain suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in. Xin Zhao walked in with a brazier and said.

"Be careful, don't burn it!" Zhao Tuo hurriedly placed a pottery plate on the felt blanket, Xin Zhao carefully put down the brazier, and then covered the fire cage to prevent sparks from splashing out and causing a fire.

"Second Lord, you didn't eat well outside today. I left you your favorite roasted meat. Sangou's cooking is getting better and better. It's just that you are not here tonight, so he is very disappointed ()!" Zhao As the letter said, he took out a paper bag from the tent, opened it and took out two pieces of roasted lamb tuirou.

"It smells delicious, let me taste it!" Zhao Tun didn't intend to bring a chef, but He Qufei and Huang Jingchen didn't do it, saying how could a majestic prince not have a dedicated chef, so he had to bring Sangou and other people in the mansion. The two cooks, in fact, Zhao Tang knew in his heart that the two of them were being tricky, and worried that they would not be used to the food cooked by the cooks there in the northwest. He left and right, then nodded, now Sangou is his chef in name, but in fact he has become the 'royal chef' of the two of them and several staff members!

"Don't worry, roast meat before eating, be careful not to get stomach upset if you eat cold meat!" Xin Zhao opened the hand extended by the prince, and spread the meat on the fire cage to roast.

"Who built that small tent outside? It wasn't there when we camped!" Zhao Tun asked awkwardly, withdrawing his hand.

"It was Wu Song who set him up. He said he would keep vigil for the prince. If there is any situation, he can arrive in time!" Xin Zhao said while flipping through the meat. After Wu Song was caught, Zhao Tang knew that if he didn't make a move, he would only be beheaded. On the way, he quietly asked the guards to use Li Daitao's stiff method to find a dead body about the same size as him, and secretly replaced the beaten half dead Wu Song.Then he was sent to the ship to recuperate, and Wu Song slowly recovered when he returned to Kaifeng. Zhao Tang followed the method in the story and made him pretend to be a tutuo, and lived next to Wang Laozhi in the backyard.

"Hehe, Lu Xiaoyao must have driven him out because he couldn't stand the smell of alcohol on him!" Zhao Tang laughed, there were only two people in this big camp who were not bound by military law, they were Lu Xiaoyao and Wu Song.

This time he went out to take office, Lu Xiaoyao thought that this time the prince was not going out to play, but to go to the battlefield, the old killer couldn't hold back the passion in his heart, and he wanted to come, and Wu Song wanted to repay his favor, so he also wanted to come out.Zhao Tang thought that both of them are geniuses, and they will definitely be of great use. It is not safe for Wu Song to live under the eyes of Cai's family, but they are unwilling to be bound by military discipline, so they have to arrange a personal assistant for them. The name followed him by his side, so there were two more aliens beside the prince, one was the handsome old man with a cold face all day long, and the other was the drunken head who never left the wine gourd.
