Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 257: language disability

(Please ask for the guaranteed monthly pass in your hands)

After purchasing the manor, Zhao Wuxi began to transform it.

The main function of the manor is not to live and farm crops, but to garrison and train troops, and to serve as a foothold for Wu Xie in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, he hired the surrounding slack farmers to build a small fortress with earth and stone structures.

Of course, he was a dead man of Jin. In order not to make people suspicious, the height of the wall was limited, but it was very strong. Like the last time the town was attacked and defended, the incident of being knocked away with a wooden stake will never happen again.

Outside the wall is a flat field for horse racing, joint army and Cuju, and on the other side is a shooting range for crossbowmen training.

The watchtowers with earth and stone structures are erected in the four corners of the manor. Now five or six hundred people eat horse chews, and they consume fifty or sixty stone of grain every day, and the rest of the meat, green onions, etc. Therefore, the warehouses located on the dry hills are filled with grain bought from various places, which can guarantee the use of millet branches for a year.

In the low-lying corner of the manor, there is also a small craftsman's workshop, which can cast a small number of arrows, blades, weave and repair leather armor, and improve the structure of the crossbow. He had the bowman and the caster work together to build fifty additional crossbows as spares, the bronze machine brackets were updated, and Wangshan, which could be used for aiming, was installed.

Of course,] the main body of this manor is the row of barracks with civil structures. Originally, most of them were empty, but after the newly recruited Song people poured in, they were immediately packed.

Qi Wan, a native of Mengcheng, lives in it. He is quite satisfied with this room. There are bedding at night, and it is very dry on rainy days. There is no unpleasant smell in the lacquer garden. The only fly in the ointment is that he originally wanted to live with his cousin. However, he was reprimanded by the Wenxian Wu chief.

"This place is allocated according to the ranks of the soldiers, and you are not allowed to walk around. There are twenty-six couches in a big house, headed by two chiefs. I am your corps chief; the futons have to be folded for me after getting up in the morning, don't ask why , don't ask what's the use, the brigade commander is also stacked like this! If you forget it, or do it casually, you will be frozen at night with your **** naked!"

"In addition, in order to prevent epidemics, the house is cleaned by each team in turn every day, and the house is rushed to the public. Drowning is strictly prohibited, and those who violate it will be severely punished!"

So here, the daily life of the lacquer craftsman in the past has become a quilt, eating, training, eating, and sleeping.

In the first half of the day, what I did every day was basically to distinguish between the five and two I belonged to, and to recognize my chief officer. and the orders they shouted.

However, at this stage, or in other words, from the moment the Song people recruited soldiers into the manor, Zhao Wuxi found that he had encountered an insurmountable difficulty.

language problem! It is sometimes a medium of communication. Sometimes it in turn hinders communication.

According to the model of ten people learning and teaching and fighting a hundred people, Zhao Wushi promoted the veterans who were familiar with drills and the new military law to two commanders and corps commanders. Yet they shouted the password. The people of Song country could not understand!

Only then did Wu Xie react, in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Jinnan area and the Huaisi area are completely two dialect areas, or rather. Since ancient times, it has been the settlement of different ethnic groups. The Xinjiang dialect is a mix of Zongzhou Yayin, Rongdi miscellaneous, and Xiayin, while Shangqiu is a mix of Shangyin and Huaiyi miscellaneous.

For example, tigers are pronounced "Li Fu" in Shangqiu dialect of the Song Dynasty, and "Bodu" in the Qin and Jin regions.

Chicken, Song people call it "Jianman", Jin people call it "chicken chick".

This tool, Yi, was called "Hua" in Song Dynasty, and "喿" by Jin people.

The dialect gap between the two places is much larger than that of Shanxi and Henan in later generations.

Shouldn't a common language be used? Before he came to the Song Dynasty, he used Chengzhou Yayin to speak to Le Qi and Le Lingzi, but Yayin was only popular among scholars and officials, and the lower class people listened to this "Mandarin" like chickens and ducks, so it was not feasible.

Finally, Su Shouyu from Wenxian County provided the solution.

Wenxian and Xinjiang are separated by Taihang Mountain, and the dialects are also very different. The key is that Jin people can understand it, and Song people can understand it too!

The reason is that the land of Nanyang, where Wenxian is located, was originally Daji's hometown and the country of the Su clan, and it was also an area where the remnants of Yin and Shang gathered, and Shang Yin was left behind.

Therefore, each recruit's two middle schools put an old soldier from Wen County who participated in the Battle of Jijin to act as a "translator", and they also called the password.

After this incident, Zhao Wuxi deeply felt that recruiting troops in a foreign country, and even running business and ruling, the language problem is a terrible chasm.

"It seems like Zigong, Feng Lin and other talents who can speak the dialects of various countries must be cultivated or recruited, or else they will be caught in the middle of Wei and Lu in the future."

The language barrier was resolved and the training proceeded in an orderly manner.

"Stop", "Turn right", "Turn left", "Qiyan", Wen County corporal master has already mastered the township model in four months, and every password issued will be demonstrated to the recruits.

So, in the first few days, on the ring road outside the manor, I saw two new soldiers start to line up in horizontal columns, walking, trotting, running quickly, and standing still with the military officers, while shouting silly slogans.

"The bowl is left, the chopstick is right! The bowl is left, and the chopstick is right! The bowl is left, and the chopstick is right!"

It only took about half a day to understand Qi Wan, because he had done painting duties in the lacquer garden. The paint bucket on the left and the paint brush on the right were easy to understand. It's a pity that when he accidentally shouted out, he was slapped by the corporal a few times with a cane.

"It's all said that Song people are stupid, but I think you are smart, but the gentleman said, don't be smart in the military pawns, you can honestly follow the slogan for Nai Gong, do whatever you want, and next time, you will be locked up!"

"Confinement" has become a punishment for the new soldiers to talk about the tiger's discoloration, and that small and dark space is their nightmare.

So Qi Wan only dared to read his "secret book" in his heart.

After half a decade, the crowd's queue had already gone a bit, but the next test caught Qi Wan off guard. On this day, they took them to the edge of a swamp that had not been completely drained. It was also a place where many domestic filth was discharged, and it was buzzing with mosquitoes and flies.

However, the officer did not let them stop.

"Go, keep moving forward! A quagmire is like this, and you are on the battlefield. Look at the chariots rushing across, and the spears. You can't turn around and run? Go!"

According to the military law that the corps commander briefly described to them, the two commanders did not let them stop. Then you have to move forward, or you will be disobedient.

The staff kept beating and urging, and after a moment of hesitation, Qi Wan stepped forward. And most of the people behind them chose to obey, so those in the front row filled the pits and those in the back row walked over.

When they were helping others to farm, didn't they step on their feet full of mud? The hesitation of everyone is actually reluctance to bear the new brown clothes and sturdy Ge cloth shoes.

Over the next few days, this kind of quagmire became the norm. When you leave, you have to stay in line. If you rush forward or drag yourself behind, you will wait to wash the clothes for the whole two!

Zhang Mengtan was a little puzzled by these seemingly useless methods, but after Zhao Wuxi explained it a little, he understood.

Whether it is folding bedding, walking in line, or wading through the quagmire, it is all to cultivate the obedience and discipline of the soldiers from the details, because these are the foundation of an army. Zhao Wuxi has been in charge of the army for more than a year. Now I clearly realize that only with discipline can we have combat effectiveness. This is the most efficient set of methods.

It is necessary to make the soldiers fear military officials and military tactics more than arrows and spears. Only when the order and prohibition can be achieved, and the follow-up tactical and tactical training keeps up, "Zhao Wuzu" will be able to remain invincible in this classical era when the art of war has just begun!

The so-called soldiers of Sun and Wu in later generations? Nothing but that!

...

late April. The two began to come together to form a new organization: up to a hundred pawns.

The "Zhao Wuzu" composed of recruits and veterans was divided into six regular soldiers by Zhao Wuxi. In addition, two direct subordinates should be added, as well as a baggage pawn. A total of more than 700 people, equivalent to a reinforcement brigade.

Therefore, in this barracks manor named "Zhao Qiu", Zhao Wuxi no longer called him a gentleman, but made himself a brigade commander.

In addition to the general loyalty to the lord in this era, he also has to shape himself into a supreme commander who is feared and respected by the soldiers! Only names and weapons, not fake people, and keeping the military power firmly in one's own hands are also extremely important means.

Under his command, there was a sword and shield player with two pawns in leather armor, and Mu Xia was the **** commander; Most of the hundreds of pairs of leather armor and swords were captured during the Battle of Jijin. In addition, some of them were purchased from the treasures of the Le family with the money and silk obtained from Zigong goods.

In addition, there were two crossbowmen with no armor.

Song State has few horses, so the two light knights can only maintain their original size and use them as tactical arms. Tian Ben's valiant pawns grew in numbers after supplementing those juveniles with their own strengths. They did not participate in ordinary training, but were positioned as "special arms" by Zhao Wuxi, which was said to be of great use.

There are also hundreds of soldiers in the carriage, most of them are the merchants who applied for the recruitment, and the Song people who were not enough to be soldiers in the physical examination. They were responsible for the food and transportation. Feng Rin also went to Shangqiu to buy dozens of carts to travel north to Lu for Zhao Wuxi. Wei prepares.

And the **** chief of this **** was Cheng Tuan, who came from Jin State to serve him a few days ago.

Even Zhao Wuxi didn't expect it. After he was exiled, although his subordinates also felt homesick for a while, there was no incident of betrayal and separation. Yu Xi, Mucha and other newly married people firmly stayed.

The few people who were not strong-willed and made excuses to leave the team were despised and looked down upon by everyone, and some people viciously predicted that they would also be criticized by thousands of people when they returned home!

Even the people who stayed behind in the township, there are quite a few people who came to defect from thousands of miles away.

Cheng Tuan and the talented man Sang Sheng took the lead, and more than a dozen villagers were the first to arrive, and there were more than a dozen scattered after that. Yang Tongrong, Ji Qiao and others also wanted to come, but they were discouraged by Zhao Wuxi's letter.

Chengxiang is still a territory under his name, and he is still creating money and silk, and it is also the hometown that Chengxiang people under his command will not forget. He let all the village officials perform their duties, waiting for him to return to the country or to serve in the various fiefs of the Zhao clan, because it is more useful for them to stay there than to come to Song!

In addition, Cheng Tuan also brought domestic news: Zhisong, the new general of the Chinese army of Jin, joined with Zhao Yang, the general of the Chinese army, and the general Zhong Xingyin of the army. The League invaded the Battle of Yique of Zhou Tianzi.

This crime is considered to be fried rice, and it is estimated that Zheng Guo himself forgot about it.

Having said that, after all, it was the first fire that ignited after Zhisong came to power, but although the Jin army went aggressively, this battle was just a casual fight.

Because Zheng Jun's combat effectiveness is very strong, in order to preserve his strength, Sanqing did not confront him, but just attacked the worm prison, besieged the city for a few days, showing off his power for a few days. normal.

After that, the Jin army will return to Nanyang to make some repairs~www.wuxiahere.com~ and then go east to attack Weiguo, and it is expected to reach Weijing in mid-May!

In the past few days, after completing the task of recruiting new soldiers, Feng Rin, who was sent by Zhao Wuxi to the Lu and Wei areas to be familiar with the roads, also returned. He marked the cities and rivers that he needed to pass along the way on the map. come out.

Everything is available, only Dongfeng is owed, and Zhao Wuxi knows from this that his deadline for going north is getting closer and closer.
