Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 148: Rapid march

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

"Your Majesty is really a **** and man! We are all unbelievable. These are written by your Majesty!" Li Gang noticed that Zhao Chen came in and immediately raised his head.

"This is not written by me alone, it was written by me and Yue Fei together!" Zhao Chen smiled.

"These are your Majesty's ideas, I will not dare to take credit at the end!" Yue Fei stood behind Zhao Chen and said hurriedly.

"Inclusive of all rivers, tolerance is great! You two take a look, what else needs to be added or changed in this infantry exercise code?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, your military training method is different from that of famous generals in the past. Weichen doesn't know whether the soldiers trained in this way are really elite?" Li Gang thought for a while and said.

This is what he suspects most now. In the past, military training was mainly to practice martial arts and occasionally practice formations. Zhao Chen added 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! When you wait for the future war, you will naturally be able to see its effects!" Zhao Chen smiled and said.

These are all military training methods after a thousand years, which are countless times more advanced than the military training methods of this era! Especially the standardization and systemization concept contained in it is far beyond this era! The Germans relied on this method to train real professional soldiers, and the Japanese relied on this method from a weak army to a strong army! Later, all countries used this method, which naturally has its uniqueness! When the Germans then created this method, it was the end of the cold weapon era, and by the Japanese it was already the hot weapon era, but in any case, this method itself is absolutely not wrong! In view of the reality of the cold weapon era, it needs to make many changes. This is why Zhao Chen and Yue Fei and others have studied together. Zhao Chen has to consult Yue Fei and others in many places!

"Your Majesty’s military training method surpasses all famous generals in ancient and modern times! In Yue Mou’s view, although it is only one month, the Forbidden Army has undergone earth-shaking changes! Whether it is the physical condition of the soldiers or the morale of the soldiers, they have far exceeded In the past! The two adults don't worry, this method is absolutely feasible!" Yue Fei said.

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

"I think your 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, too far from the Jingyuan Army! It is only one month, I think This army is no longer under the Jingyuan Army!" Wang Shu said.

"Really?" Li Gang said in disbelief.

"This is natural!" Wang Shu smiled.

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

"Only there is a method of military training, without good general guidance, it is difficult to train a strong army! The Forbidden Army used to be a broken family army. The military discipline, morale, and morale are really bad, so I want to stay here and I want to accompany this. The army will change 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! Major events in the court will be left to the time being. You have to deal with it, besides, I have one more thing for you to do!" Zhao Chen said.

"I don't know what's the matter?" Li Gang said.

"You find some literati and talents to come and let them join the Forbidden Army!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah! Your Majesty, what do literati and talents in the army do? Is it to make suggestions?" Li Gang asked in surprise.

"You have also read the infantry code, and it is written after that. Let the soldiers know why they are fighting and who they are fighting for. With such education, the army will never become a private army. Soldiers will only be loyal to me and loyal to me. Da Song, there is no need to worry about the army's rebellion in the future! However, the military commanders are not knowledgeable, and they obviously can’t do these things. Therefore, I have to recruit some scholars to do these things! These scholars are also soldiers once they enter the army. 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 talents are equivalent to the "political commissars" of later generations and are responsible for ideological education! During the war, they should also play a role in boosting morale! In some respects, they are similar to the ancient supervising army, except that the supervising army is to monitor high-ranking officials. They go deep into the army and stay with the soldiers on weekdays. Their role is only to conduct political and ideological education. It is impossible to overstep the authority to command the army at any time!

"Your Majesty can come up with such tactics to control the army, and we admire it! Your Majesty, I think that besides the imperial army, some literati and talents can also be placed in the Jingyuan Army and Huanqing Army to do these things specifically to educate ordinary people. Soldier!" 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. He will conduct loyalty education every day. Even if the general wants to rebel, the soldiers will not rebel with the general! He still did not 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!

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll wait for this to happen! After we return to Hanzhong, we will immediately recruit a group of scholars to join the army!" Li Gang said.

"Very good! But this set of training methods is now only implemented in the Forbidden Army! If it is possible to implement it in other armies in the future, please!" Zhao Chen said.

That night Li Gang and Wang Shu stayed in the barracks, and they discussed political affairs with Zhao Chen! Now the one party in Zhekeqiu has been slain, but many local officials in Hanzhong, Sichuan, Shu, and Guanshan relied on bribery to get higher positions. Li Gang asked if he wanted to take these officials and when they were taken!

Zhao Chen thought for a while, and said: "Now the overall situation has just stabilized, so there should not be too many changes! The officials in the local state capitals will not move them, but you will give me a good look at them! After half a year, the situation has stabilized. , If someone is corrupt or rebellious, then I will never show mercy! If someone hasn't done anything wrong in the past six months, then even if they can ask to be an official by bribery, I can forgive them!"

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

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

That night everyone rested in the barracks. Early the next morning, Zhao Chen still followed the soldiers to train, while Li Gang, Wang Shu and others returned to Hanzhong to continue to deal with world affairs!

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

"Naturally, it is impossible for me to completely entrust political affairs to them! Political affairs, that must be held in my own hands! I have an idea in my heart, I will tell you in a few days! In troubled times, the army is the most important thing! I Let's take control of the army first!" Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

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

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

According to the regulations in the infantry code, once the soldiers get the emergency assembly signal, they must be assembled within half a quarter of an hour! Soldiers must be neatly dressed, and troops must be neatly lined up!

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

There was a rushing sound of running around, countless soldiers came to their troops, the generals of the troops were emergency points, ordering the soldiers to line up neatly!

"Half quarter of an hour already!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, our training is still not enough! Someone still hasn't come!" Yue Fei said.

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

"Yes!" Yue Fei nodded!

After a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers were finally there!

The training ground was quiet, no one whispered, which was completely different from when Zhao Chen just arrived that day! Zhao Chen was slightly satisfied!

"Today we are going to carry out emergency marching training, let's move towards the Qinling Mountains! A total of three hundred miles, we must arrive within three days! I will walk forward with you!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

At the moment Zhao Chen and Yue Fei were heading towards the north. Behind them, the various armies were also heading towards the north under the leadership of their generals!

The night was dim, and the soldiers marched extremely fast!

An hour later, they had passed the gate of Hanzhong, and the sky was still very dark at the moment! They keep going!

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

By the next day, there were already soldiers left behind!

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei were in front of the troops, but now they came to the back of the troops. Seeing a soldier with sweaty head and almost unable to walk, Zhao Chen hurriedly came to his side and said: "How are you? How is it?"

The soldier saw Zhao Chen and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do!"

Zhao Chen took out the skin pouch and said: "Look at your sweaty head, drink some water first!"

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

Over there, Zhao Chen saw that someone had a leg and limped forward. At the moment, Zhao Chen supported the soldier and took the soldier forward!

"Your Majesty, the villain is really a burden to your Majesty!" The soldier was anxious and grateful in his heart, and he couldn't help crying.

"Man, **** sweat but no tears! Never again!" Zhao Chen said.

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

"Very good! When you train in the future, you must perform well, 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.

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

At the beginning, Yue Fei came to Hanzhong with thousands of nominal troops. Later, the Zhejia Army became the Forbidden Army. Many officers of 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 small soldier now!

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

"I believe you will definitely be able to make some achievements and build up your achievements in the future!" Zhao Chen smiled.

"Thank your Majesty, the villain will not let your Majesty down!" Xu Qing said.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he held Xu Qing forward like this! Xu Qing tried to get rid of Zhao Chen several times. He felt that he was dragging Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen did not agree and still took him forward!

Towards the end, Xu Qing was moved more and more, he forcibly resisted the tears, not letting himself cry again!

Zhao Chen is helping the soldiers who have fallen behind. The rest of the army naturally dare not slacken their efforts. They either support the fallen soldiers or carry the soldiers on their backs. In short, no one is left behind, so that everyone can follow the army. Go forward together!

"Three days and three hundred miles, this was unimaginable before! Now only with your Majesty can you do such a thing!" Yue Fei secretly said.

When the next night came, Zhao Chen sat among the soldiers. He and the soldiers ate together, and then said: "You guys tell me, what are the problems in our army now? If it can be changed, I will definitely think about it. Change it!"
