At this time, Zhao Haiping was walking in the military camp to check on the soldiers' drills.
Soldiers using various weapons stood in square formations on the school field and practiced the tactics of these weapons.
The categories of these weapons and the specific training methods were of course planned by General Deng. Most of them were based on the moves used by General Deng in later military training. At the same time, specific arrangements were made for the Jin people's heavy cavalry.
After all, General Deng's enemies were mainly Dongyi bandits and Northern Barbarian cavalry. In that era, it was rare to encounter heavy cavalry like Tiefu Tu.
But the reason why General Deng was a military strategist of the generation was that he was best at changing training and combat methods according to the actual conditions on the battlefield, adapting measures to local conditions, time conditions, and people, and he could always find the best way to break the situation.
For example, at this time, General Deng asked Zhao Haiping to focus on strengthening the training of cavalry weapons such as axes, mazha knives, shields, and divine arm bows.
Rows of soldiers lined up neatly in square formations, each performing various postures according to the slogans shouted by their instructors.
After quickly correcting a few inaccurate movements, these coaches continued to shout the next slogan and practice the next posture.
Zhao Haiping, together with General Deng Yuanjing, rode horses and constantly walked and inspected the school grounds and military camps to ensure that the entire training process was implemented to the letter.
Through Zhao Haiping's unremitting efforts, the current military training has actually entered the third stage.
The first stage is selecting people.
From a large number of redundant soldiers, those who are suitable to serve as soldiers and have combat effectiveness are individually selected and trained uniformly. Others who are slightly weaker in combat effectiveness or have too bad habits will be trained separately. If some of them are outstanding in the assessment, they can be promoted.
At the same time, the selected people will be screened layer by layer, and based on General Deng's unique set of evaluation methods, they will be broken up and reorganized so that those who are more suitable can serve as grassroots officers.
Then the grassroots officers themselves select people layer by layer and organize the structure of the entire army.
According to General Deng, the reason why these grassroots officers must choose their own personnel is not only to strengthen the cohesion of this combat unit, but also to make it impossible for these grassroots officers to shirk the blame when they encounter problems.
After all, people choose themselves, so if your subordinates make mistakes and you are punished, there is nothing to defend yourself against.
The second stage is to distribute the military manual to every corps commander, commander, and team leader, and ask them to carefully teach all the contents to the soldiers to ensure that every soldier can remember it.
Among them, the main ones are the methods of performing flags and musical instruments.
For example, which direction does each color of the five-sided flag correspond to, which level of generals do flags of different shapes represent, and what do different flag orders mean?
Another example is what do different musical instruments such as drums, cymbals, and suonas mean when they are played under different circumstances.
Zhao Haiping specially arranged for some people to randomly check these contents in various military camps. Those who cannot memorize them after a long time will be punished. As for junior officers such as corps commanders, chief officers, and captains, if their subordinates fail to answer too many questions, they will also be punished jointly and severally.
Only after several large-scale drills have been carried out to ensure that most people can accurately take corresponding actions according to the sound of the drums can the third stage of military training be entered.
The third stage is to practice specific weapons.
Of course, military training also included this link, but in General Deng's view, it was full of fallacies.
For example, how to practice spears.
The previous gun and stick instructors in the army basically taught some martial arts marksmanship.
For example, the middle part of the gun is held in both hands, and the moves include many flashy movements such as dodging, jumping, turning around and stabbing.
This style of fighting is really useful when fighting alone in the arena. A good gunman can keep seven or eight ordinary people at bay.
This is what the so-called "Pear Blossom Spear of twenty years is invincible in the world" means.
The marksmanship in the martial arts world naturally has its merits, but if it is applied mechanically to the military formation, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The two armies fought in a dense formation, with rows of spears stabbing each other, and rows of long knives slashing at them. The soldiers on both sides were very close, and there was no room for them to move around.
In this case, if my spear is one foot longer than yours, I will be able to stab you first, but you will never be able to stab me;
As long as I can practice stabbing to perfection, no matter how you move around, you will still be stabbed to death by random shots.
Therefore, General Deng also made drastic changes in the training methods of these weapons. All that were retained were the most practical skills in the military formation, such as thrusting, retreating to retract the gun, and dialing and pressing the opponent's gun body. etc.
The soldiers who use long guns undergo these special training every day.
In addition, General Deng also has great experience in the training of shield soldiers.
In addition to the daily practice of various moves, shield soldiers also have a very important training item, that is, no matter what happens during the battle, they are absolutely not allowed to raise their heads.
As soon as the commander gives an order, these soldiers must immediately raise their shields to protect their heads and faces. At the same time, they can only move forward but not retreat, and they can only lower their heads but not raise their heads.
This is General Deng's strategy when using shields, but in fact, the origin of this strategy comes from General Han Fuyue's strategy of defeating the Iron Buddha Tower.
When General Han defeated the Iron Buddha Tu, he asked these soldiers to rush into the Iron Buddha Tu with shields in hand and never look up, only to lower their heads. If there are horse legs, chop off the horse's legs; if there are no horse legs, chop off the human legs.
And now, the advanced experience summarized by General Deng has traveled through time and space and is once again used on the battlefield against Tiefu Tu.
In addition, Zhao Haiping also developed different training methods and assessment standards for weapons such as axes, long knives, and divine arm bows under the guidance of General Deng.
There are very clear rules even for how to judge and feed military horses.
Zhao Haiping also asked General Deng Yuanjing how long it would take to build a strong army.
General Deng Yuanjing's answer was: After practicing all kinds of weapons proficiently, it is half done.
After that, there are probably three stages.
The fourth stage is to train various formations against the enemy, so that the soldiers can still maintain the ability to maintain the formation in the melee; the fifth stage is to clarify various details during the march, and the soldiers must eat, drink and eat according to certain rules. The rules; the sixth stage is to practice in advance various situations encountered in actual combat.
And after all these are completed, this army will truly have combat effectiveness.
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but sigh, he was indeed a famous general throughout the ages.
This method of training soldiers is simply meticulous.
In fact, before this, Zhao Haiping did not have a clear concept of "troop training".
Although he has played the role of a soldier many times and conducted some drills that he considered meaningless and far less effective than actual combat, he never had a complete and clear understanding of these specific training items.
Now he discovered that the training of soldiers in ancient times actually has something in common with the military training that many modern students have experienced.
This is actually normal, because military training is originally the result of simplified training methods of the modern army.
As an ancient general who is closest to modern military thinking, General Deng's training methods must be very close to modern training methods.
If Zhao Haiping's biggest emotion about General Deng's military training method is that it is "fine"!
Meticulous.
Other military books often elaborate more on war thoughts. For example, in what situations can we fight and in what situations can we not fight? I prefer something that is from a high position.
This type of military book is actually aimed at generals who already have rich military experience and a deep understanding of the basic principles of marching and fighting.
But if you are a person who has never understood the military affairs, you will be confused when you see these military books.
It's like reading some advanced philosophical books before the most basic philosophical concepts have been established.
But General Deng’s tactics of war were different.
General Deng Yuanjing paid the most attention to these details. His art of war was not intended for famous generals who already had a lot of grassroots experience, but for those who did not understand military matters at all to understand and follow them.
The specific shape and usage of a certain weapon, and even the details of how this weapon is considered qualified, how it is considered inferior, how it should be used, etc. are all clearly explained.
Even during the march, the soldiers were clearly told how far away they had to dig a toilet and how to bury it while walking.
This kind of military training method is exactly the most suitable for Zhao Haiping and the Qi Dynasty's army.
What's the problem with Qi Dynasty's army?
Is there something wrong with the general's command? Does the general not understand the art of war?
of course not.
The Qi Dynasty had no shortage of famous generals, but every time they fought, the camp would be blown up in an instant, and tens of thousands of people would run away.
In this case, even if the general is familiar with the art of war, what can he do?
General Deng's situation was similar when he faced the gradually collapsing garrison soldiers in the middle and late stages of the Dasheng Dynasty.
Therefore, General Deng built a powerful army almost from scratch.
In his opinion, if you want to win, you must first train well. Only if the daily training is done well, there will be no unexpected situations beyond the control of the generals on the battlefield.
Only by following the steps of the corps commander, chief, and captain, can the entire army carry out the orders of the commander to the letter.
The generals of the Jin people may not know much about the art of war, but they can win many tough battles with their fighting instincts.
The reason is that the basic combat effectiveness of these golden soldiers is extremely strong, so the generals' abilities are infinitely magnified.
The strong army trained according to General Deng's training methods has neat military appearance, smooth military orders, clear rewards and punishments, and united leadership.
With such an army, even if the general's command ability is slightly weaker, he can still defeat his opponents with his superior strength.
…
Zhao Haiping walked around the school grounds casually, and suddenly came to a gun and stick instructor who was practicing with a spear, and asked all these people to suspend their training.
"I'm going to check a few questions."
Zhao Haiping glanced at the soldiers who were training, and quickly picked out a soldier with a panic look on his face.
"Let me ask you, what's the explanation for the crashing of the cymbals?"
A crash cymbal is actually a cymbal, also known as a cymbal among the people. It consists of two round copper pieces with a hemispherical bulge in the middle. At this time, cymbals were also a very commonly used instrument in the military.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, as if his mind went blank. He paused for a while and then muttered: "It seems... it seems that the whole team is going to return to camp."
Zhao Haiping asked again: "How about one more ring?"
The soldier's expression became obviously more nervous, and he said with some uncertainty: "It seems...formed into a large group?"
Zhao Haiping's expression darkened: "What else?"
The soldier hesitated and could no longer answer.
Zhao Haiping said: "Throw the cymbals and sound again, form a brigade, and take the flag back to the Chinese army camp!
"You haven't memorized it yet, so I asked you and your corps commander to go to the military judge to get the ten army sticks!"
The soldier shouted "yes" dejectedly, and then went to his corps commander to receive the punishment with a pained look on his face.
Zhao Haiping randomly grabbed another soldier from the queue.
"The trumpet blows a long sound, and the musket fires suddenly. What's the explanation?"
The soldier replied calmly: "At this time, the flag will be waved up, down, left, and right. All soldiers must look carefully in the direction of the flag wave and turn accordingly."
Zhao Haiping nodded slightly and asked: "Let me ask you again, what do you mean by the sound of the military drum?"
The soldier was obviously stunned for a moment because this was a very broad question, but after thinking about it for a while, he still gave an accurate answer.
"Back to the general: Lightly tapping the military drum means leaving the camp and advancing forward. Lightly tapping the military drum means walking twenty steps; pressing the military drum urgently means walking one step, preparing to engage the enemy; beating the drum means engaging the enemy and immediately move forward. Fighting. Beating the drum after setting up camp means collecting firewood and fetching water. Beating the drum after closing the camp gate at night means starting the watch."
Zhao Haiping nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!
"Why should I be promoted to a senior position? I always receive reward money!"
The soldier couldn't help but look happy on his face: "Thank you, General!"
In this way, Zhao Haiping followed the shadow of General Deng Yuanjing and constantly patrolled the training formations, often checking whether the soldiers' memory of various military regulations was reliable.
Those who fail to answer will be punished, and those who answer well will be promoted.
General Deng attached great importance to these military orders. Not only was the priority of learning and memorizing these military orders placed before weapon training, but Zhao Haiping was also asked to conduct spot checks every now and then.
Because only in this way can we truly implement orders and prohibitions, so that the entire army can obey orders like an arm and a finger.
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but sigh, training troops is indeed not a simple matter!
In fact, to put it bluntly, if there are really experienced veterans like General Deng Yuanjing as guidance, the military training itself is not particularly high-tech, and it is not impossible to learn no matter how hard you work.
However, the difficulty of training troops mainly lies in various details.
It lies in the execution of orders and prohibitions, in establishing prestige, in sorting out relationships at all levels, in the training methods of various weapons, etc.
To do all these well requires a person with great perseverance.
Zhao Haiping was quite lucky. After all, he did not need to consider logistics, military supplies, rewards, various weapons, North Korea-China relations, etc. in this trial fantasy.
In reality, a famous general also has to consider all these aspects.
General Han Fuyue and General Deng Yuanjing were able to build such a powerful army despite the constraints of so many people. They are truly worthy of being the top military strategists in ancient and modern times.
At the same time, Zhao Haiping was increasingly looking forward to the day when he would use this army to collide with the Jin people's iron pagoda.
…
Chu Ge has returned to Qi Dynasty.
A year in the game was only ten minutes in his case.
The white mist covered and then dispersed, and what Li Hao encountered in the year after returning to Qi Dynasty continued to unfold in front of Chu Ge.
After Li Hao returned to Qi Dynasty, of course he did not receive much courtesy at first.
It can even be said to be a cold reception at the door.
Everyone knows that Li Hao was an old minister of Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong, and he was kidnapped to the north along with the two emperors.
Being released at this time, who knows what happened in the north?
Why didn't the golden man let others go, but he let you go?
Due to many speculations, almost no officials from the DPRK or the Central Government came to Li Hao's house to ask questions or exchange greetings, for fear that the people would think they were spies of the Jin people and cause misunderstandings.
At this time, although the people around him did not dare to do anything directly to Li Hao, they could tell from the few glances he looked out from the curtains of the carriage when he occasionally went out that they were obviously full of disdain for him.
Yes, why do you still have the nerve to come back?
The Jingping Incident was originally caused by you incompetent civil servants. When you were kidnapped to the Jin Kingdom, you not only did not commit suicide and die for the country, but you were released by the Jin people...
Doesn't this mean that either you are such a waste that you are not even worthy of being a prisoner; or that you colluded and colluded with the Jin people and betrayed many interests of the Qi Dynasty, so you were released?
All kinds of gaps made Chu Ge feel the same.
Of course, Chu Ge is a player after all. He has not really put himself into the role, nor has he really integrated into the world.
But he could still put himself in Li Hao's shoes and think about what kind of mentality he must have at this time.
He was once the third-rank imperial censor Zhongcheng. Whether it was material conditions or social status, he was the best in the entire Qi Dynasty. Naturally, he could talk about how to serve the country with death.
But now, after all these things left him, he realized that he seemed to be nothing.
And this huge gap and frustration caused his eyes to change when he looked at the current prime minister and those important officials in the court.
How could he not want to sit in the position of Prime Minister?
Unexpectedly, when Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, did not go to the emperor, the emperor took the initiative to summon him into the palace and asked about the situation with the Jin people.
Although it is not stated explicitly in the words and deeds, some information is also hinted at.
The emperor wants peace talks.
The emperor at this time was the ninth prince of Qi Huizong, also known as Emperor Gaozong in later generations.
This was also an emperor who suffered from severe gold phobia. He was frightened by being beaten in successive battles, and was even so frightened that he lost his fertility. When he sleeps on the dragon bed every day, what he dreams of is that the golden man will stop calling and let him sleep peacefully.
Chu Ge knew exactly what Li Hao would do next.
Therefore, after much consideration, he made a promise to the emperor according to what Li Hao would have done originally.
He told the emperor exactly what happened between himself and Wan Yanchang, saying that he could work with Wan Yanchang to promote a peace agreement between the two countries, so that the Qi Dynasty would no longer be devastated by war and the people could live and work in peace and contentment.
Of course, these are all excuses. The real purpose is to allow the emperor who suffers from gold phobia to sleep peacefully.
So the emperor was overjoyed and directly promoted Li Hao to the prime minister of the dynasty.
After becoming the Prime Minister, Chu Ge immediately carried out drastic reforms.
First, he reorganized the administration of officials in the court, and then vigorously ensured the needs of the generals headed by General Han Fuyue.
One year later, the results were remarkable.
Li Hao was dismissed as prime minister and will never be used again.
…
In the illusion of trial where Fan Cun was, the Western Army led by King Yun had arrived outside the capital city.
The Jin soldiers could only retreat from the capital city and retreated to Moutuogang not far away to confront the Western army with unknown strength.
But as a result, a very sensitive issue arises.
Qi Yingzong was still in the Jinbing camp and was taken away together.
Not long after King Yun's Western Army set up camp, the emperor's handwriting was delivered by Jin Bing.
There are only a few simple lines in the handwriting, and they only have one meaning.
The peace agreement with the Jin people has been completed, why did they start the trouble again? retreat!
Seeing this letter, Fan Cun sneered and circulated it to Liu Fa, Zhong Pingyuan and other generals.
Liu Fa snorted coldly, while Zhong Pingyuan sighed and shook his head.
You don’t know that you are about to die!
Obviously, this wise emperor has not yet understood his situation.
From the moment he entered Jin Camp, his life no longer belonged to him. This ninth-five-year-old man of the Qi Dynasty is still just a meat ticket in the hands of the Jin people, used to extort more money.
The more Qi Yingzong obeys the Jin people's advice, the less likely he is to be put back. On the contrary, only if he is no longer the emperor can he be let go by the Jin people.
After all, at that time, he was useless to the Jin people. It would be a pity to abandon him and kill him. It would be better to return him to the Qi Dynasty and trigger civil strife in the Qi Dynasty.
Of course, it is hard to say whether the Jin people have this basic political wisdom. Maybe they will kill Qi Yingzong in a rage.
But no matter what, Qi Yingzong can be treated as a dead person.
"His Royal Highness King Yun, the Supreme Emperor has also sent an edict, asking us to enter the city to discuss strategies to retreat from the enemy." Zhong Pingyuan said.
Liu Fa immediately frowned: "Don't enter the city!"
Obviously, these two famous generals knew that once they entered the city, the nature of the matter would change.
The legitimacy of the soldiers and horses in the hands of King Yun was ultimately given by the Qi Dynasty court. If the two emperors wanted to take back these military powers at this time, King Yun would have no reason to refuse.
In other words, if His Highness King Yun continues to station troops in the city and does not enter the city, the Qi Dynasty's current court will have no way to deal with him; but if His Highness King Yun enters the city, it is tantamount to actively integrating into the system of the court. What should they do? It's not him who has the final say.
Just like when Zhong Pingyuan returned to the capital for the first time, he would still be the supreme commander of all the Western armies without entering the city; but once he entered the city, the emperor could easily hand over control of the Western armies to others, Let others lead people to attack the camp, and ignore the peace.
Fan Cun chuckled and shook his head slightly: "No, we still have to enter the city.
"The emperor's order cannot be violated."
Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan both frowned. Obviously, this was the outcome they least expected to see.
Moreover, there were somewhat doubtful looks on their faces. It stands to reason that His Highness King Yun is not such a pedantic person who does not know how to adapt?
Fan Cun looked at Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan: "If I let you two die for me, would you be willing?"
The two looked at each other and said categorically: "This life was given to me by His Highness King Yun. I just want to give it back. Why don't you want to!"
Fan Cun nodded: "Okay, bring your own soldiers, private soldiers, in short, only the ones you trust the most.
"Follow me to the city.
"If you are willing to follow me, I will naturally not let you die. Not only will you not die, you will also become generals and prime ministers in the future, and you will become extremely human ministers!"
The two of them couldn't help being surprised and asked: "Your Highness, what are you..."
Fan Cun smiled coldly: "I want to... clear your side!"
Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan couldn't help being shocked.
Qingjun side!
This saying has existed since ancient times. Qing Junzi means that there are villains around the emperor, and the emperor has been deceived by the villains, so I am going to help the emperor get rid of the villains. Of course, I am still a loyal minister.
But in fact, those famous Qingjunzi in history are not Qingjunzi, but "Qingjun"...
It was just that it was hard to say that he was going to rebel directly, so he found an excuse to Qingjun.
A noble slogan, but in fact it became a fig leaf for rebellion.
But at this time, everyone felt inexplicably that this slogan was so beautiful!
This move is a real crime of treason. Once it fails, even the nine clans will not be able to kill him.
But……
In this situation, the word "rebellion" is so exciting!
