Xu He had already informed Qin Lie and Zhou Bi of this matter.
But the two of them were still very surprised after hearing that the procedures were completed so quickly.
Qin Lie hesitated and said: "Sir, although I have some strength, I have never learned how to lead an army!"
Xu He smiled and said, "Didn't you ask Zhou Bi to serve as your adviser?"
Zhou Bi smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, I have read some military books, but I have never led an army!"
Xu He nodded: "I have three methods here, you must remember them!"
The two of them quickly held their breath and listened carefully.
"First of all, we must inculcate an idea into the recruited regiment warriors, which is [Guard the Hometown]. What is the purpose of our regiment training? To protect peace and tranquility of the people, whose place are we protecting? In our own hometown, who are we protecting? They themselves Parents, brothers, wives and children!”
"An army must know who it is fighting for at any stage!"
This was the first time that Qin Lie and Zhou Bi had heard that recruiting soldiers and buying horses had to teach these illiterate soldiers.
Which of the guards and soldiers recruited by the imperial court are not for the purpose of serving as soldiers and eating food?
Are these principles useful?
When they expressed their doubts, Xu He nodded solemnly and said: "It works. Sometimes, when the two sides are in a stalemate, money can't buy perseverance. You can only tell everyone in the team that you are What we fight for is what makes this team resilient.”
Qin Lie and Zhou Bi nodded at the same time. What the young master said seemed to make sense.
Xu He saw that they understood, so he continued: "The recruited soldiers cannot be born in the city, and they are not allowed to recruit unruly village gangsters. If you want to recruit, just recruit honest and strong farmers or cooks. By the way, this matter I've already told Zhu'er that you and Zhu'er will go find Uncle Zheng when the time comes. The kitchen workers can endure hardship and are a good source of soldiers!"
Zhou Bi frowned and said, "Sir, I heard from Zhu'er that people from the Salt Department's Yamen have been stationed in all the major salt farms. Whether the kitchen workers can come out is a big problem!"
Xu He smiled: "In the past years, there were not many kitchen workers fleeing famine. Ask them to drag their families with them, and the family members will be placed in the newly opened village of the Xu family. Anyway, so many tidal flats have been filled in, and there are not enough manpower!"
Qin Lie thought to himself: "Good fellow, this young master is no less courageous than our water bandits!"
But then he thought about it, if Xu He was the kind of person who followed the rules, he might not be willing to follow Xu He.
Xu He said at this time: "There is also the third article, discipline and tactical skills!"
At this moment, both Qin Lie and Zhou Bi were stunned.
What does tactical technique mean? Never heard of it.
However, Xu He explained in the next sentence: "It is necessary to clarify the military discipline of regiment training and detail every reward and punishment condition. I admire many generals, but there are many things in these people that others cannot learn from. "
"But there is one person who I think can become a famous general like him as long as he wants to learn from it!"
Zhou Bi asked curiously: "Young master, is that true?"
"Li Guangbi!"
"In the first year of Qianyuan, Guo Ziyi attacked An Qingxu and won the first battle, but was defeated in Yecheng the next year!"
"Guo Ziyi was recalled to Chang'an because of Yu Chaoen's slander."
"Before he left, the soldiers were indignant. They all said that Guo Ziyi had been wronged and refused to accept the imperial court's order to change generals!"
"Later Guo Ziyi recommended Li Guangbi to be the deputy marshal of the world's troops."
"Li Guangbi had just arrived to take charge of the military discipline. He immediately issued orders, soldiers, barriers, and flags. The military appearance changed. The officers and soldiers of Shuofang Army all liked Guo Ziyi's tolerance, but were afraid of Li Guangbi's severity."
Zhang Yongji, the military envoy in the left wing, stationed troops in Heyang. Guangbi issued a notice to recruit Zhang Yongji.
Yongji said to his subordinates: "Shuofang Army is an army of the imperial court, not a rebel army. But Li Guangbi took advantage of the darkness to enter the military camp (to take over the army), and he was so suspicious of us!"
Therefore, Zhang Yongji and other generals planned to suddenly enter Tokyo with elite troops, expel Li Guangbi and invite Guo Ziyi back.
After Li Guangbi heard the news, he led thousands of cavalry out of Sishui eastward, and Zhang Yongji came to see him on horseback alone. Li Guangbi ordered him to recruit Zhang Yongji, but Yongji failed to arrive in time, so he ordered him to be killed and appointed Xin Gao to lead Yongji's troops on his behalf.
Zhou Bi had heard this story, but Qin Lie had not, so he listened very carefully.
Xu He said with a serious face: "Orders and prohibitions are the most basic requirements I give you. I don't care how you lead the troops, but you should keep the matter of Xiliu Camp in mind, especially you!"
He looked at Qin Lie and said: "Qin Lie, leading troops to fight is not just wandering around. What I said may be a little hurtful, but I think it's better to say it sooner rather than later. Although we are training as a team, I have great expectations for you. , don’t bring the rules from the martial arts world into the army!”
Qin Lie's face felt like it was on fire at first, but after hearing this, he saw that Xu He's words were sincere, so he quickly lowered his head and said: "I will obey the order of the young master."
"Finally, let's talk about tactics and techniques. I just said that when Li Guangbi entered the camp, the first thing he did was change the original orders in the army."
"Those flags and drums and trumpets are all tactical techniques, and marching formations and camping sentinels are also tactical techniques!"
"I emphasize this because marching and fighting is not a storybook or a chat in a teahouse. There is not so much passion. Only the combination of countless boring tactics and techniques can lead troops!"
Having said this, he looked at Zhou Bi: "This is for you!"
Zhou Bi quickly raised his hands and said: "I will obey the teachings of the young master!"
Xu He nodded, took out a book from his arms and handed it to Qin Lie: "These are some [tactics and techniques] of marching and fighting that I recorded when I followed my uncle. It also contains some of my senior brother Qi Jiguang's thoughts and experiences! Now I give it to you, I hope you can eat these things thoroughly!"
Qin Lie took the book and took a look at the cover. He saw that there was no name on it, so he said, "Sir, you didn't give this book a name?"
Xu He smiled and said: "There is a name, but I have to ask my senior brother to record the name of this book!"
"What is your name?"
""Military Bei Zhi"!"
Qin Lie opened the first page of the book and saw it read: "Soldiers are soldiers, and the saints have no choice but to use them. The emperor pities the blood of the world, so he specially ordered the real person to cut him off to create peace!"
Turning to the back again, Qin Lie was shocked. Even Zhou Bi beside him was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
I saw that it not only recorded some mountain and geographical content, but also described how to camp, how to get water, and how to make weapons in the form of pictures and texts.
Of course, there are also introductions and pictures of various weapons, armor, and warships.
The most exaggerated thing is that even the various prayers used in sacrifices before going out have templates attached to them.
It can be said that as long as you have this book, the basic technical difficulties of leading troops to fight will no longer exist.
The rest, you just need to slowly experience, delete, and add from practice!
This kind of book, no matter what era it is in, is not easily revealed to others.
But Xu He just gave it to himself.
Qin Lie and Zhou Bi were moved and bowed together: "Thank you, Master, for the book!"
Xu He smiled and said in his heart: "Thank you Mao Yuanyi for the book!"
