Su Chen spent the next two days in the military camp.

He was dressed in military uniform, with a long-handled sword in his hand, and he was constantly practicing his sword skills.

Going into battle to kill the enemy, charging into battle, the long sword is also very useful, and is especially suitable for fighting on horseback. It is the most labor-saving, just swing and chop.

Su Chen was never a first-rate martial artist, but because of the breathing technique given by the old beggar and the sword technique given by Uncle Hu, after combining the two, within a year, he became a third-rate master in the green forest.

In the army, he is also a fierce and fierce general.

Of course, there are differences in the martial arts level of fierce generals. It is difficult to measure them with a martial arts level. You have to fight them to know.

After all, this is not a martial arts novel, and it cannot be summarized at a specific level.

Although there are five levels in the martial arts world: body training, Qi nourishing, innate, grandmaster, and martial saint, after all, they are all martial arts legends and have not been officially confirmed.

For Su Chen, training is over.

Practice hard every day, rain or shine.

Therefore, he is very familiar with the sword, and even understands some mysterious things such as the meaning of the sword and the energy of the sword.

Similar to the spirit of craftsman, the porcelain master can be good at craftsmanship, and the painter master can add the finishing touch.

The same goes for practicing martial arts and swordsmanship, you will have some insights of your own.

"Master Chen, the captain, the captain, and the team leaders are all here."

Jing Hong, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Shence Army, came over and clasped his fists to report.

Su Chen nodded. In the army, he temporarily used the pseudonym "Chen Su". He was General Chen and the commander-in-chief.

According to the current marching organization of various countries such as the Southern Tang and Northern Song Dynasties in the late Five Dynasties, they are all very similar, and they are all arranged according to Xiang, Jun, Camp, Du, Team, Hug and Wu.

There are 25,000 people in each chamber. There is a general, also called the chamber master, and several deputy generals, who are responsible for ten armies.

Each army has 2,500 men, with one "du commander" or "duyuhou" and two deputy commanders.

An army has five battalions, which are usually distinguished by "front, back, left, right, center", such as the front camp of Zuo Changjian Army, the rear camp of Zuo Longxiang Army, etc.

A battalion has 500 men and horses, and has a "xiaowei" as the commander, with jurisdiction over five capitals; each "du" has 100 people, and there is a "dutou".

The "du" also has two "teams" under its jurisdiction, each with fifty people and one team leader.

Further down, there are groups of ten and groups of five, each with a fire chief and a corps leader.

Although Yang Wu's Heiyun capital had the word "du", it was not a small capital with a hundred people, but had an organization of one chamber, so it was able to sweep through Huaibei and intimidate the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

At present, the Shence Army only has less than 5,000 men, so it can only set up two armies, namely Du Yuhou, Jing Hong and Peng Jingjing.

But at this time, Peng Jingjing used the pseudonym "Peng Qing".

Su Chen brought these school lieutenants (battalion commanders), captains (company commanders), and team leaders (platoon commanders) here to instill some combat ideas and training methods.

He planned to spend an hour every day explaining Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Stratagems, so that all the officers in his Shence Battalion, big and small, would be somewhat educated, and their vision and thinking would be broadened, so that they could gain experience and improve themselves in combat.

"Everyone, please come and sit down in the big tent!"

Inside the tent, there were some small benches with a simplified version of "The Art of War" written by Su Chen, which he wanted to teach everyone.

These captains all have heads. After the team leader sits down, they are all a group of young faces, the oldest is only thirty years old.

"Everyone, I am the commander-in-chief of the Shence Army and the general in front of the palace. I am responsible for protecting the safety of the lord. Our Shence Army has two characters. One is to protect the lord and act as a forbidden army and bodyguard. The other is to be able to go into battle.

Killing enemies is also an elite expeditionary force."

"At present, our rebel army has just been established. It is full of waste and is lacking talents. You all have hope that you will kill the enemy and perform meritorious service on the battlefield in the future, and be promoted to Du Yuhou, general, etc. However, just relying on your martial arts, you may be

A leader who bravely kills enemies and charges into battle cannot become a qualified commander or general. Therefore, I will spare an hour every day to explain the art of war to everyone."

"I will explain to you what the knowledge of the art of war is, what a supply line is, how to calculate the relationship between food and marching numbers, and what situations you may encounter. There may be fraud and you must not take it lightly. These are all things that officers must know. When the time comes, you will

Experience it in practice, and by improving your military exploits, one day you will all become qualified generals!"

Su Chen's explanation made many people tempted.

Many of them were from poor families, ordinary sons of tenant farmers. They had joined the army because they were physically strong, fought fiercely, or had learned some rudimentary boxing and kicking skills. There were also some who were hunters or butchers.

Weapons, horse riding, and archery have all been systematically studied in the military recently, not to mention military thinking.

There are just not many of them. If it is true as Su Chen said, if the media can take the time to learn some military knowledge and understand the skills of leading troops, they will all have the opportunity to be promoted to generals in the future.

This opportunity to get ahead is their hope for hard work. It is not just about getting rewards and gold and silver for meritorious service, but also about becoming people with goals, pursuits, and ideals. Their nature is completely different.

Su Chen's thoughts and temptations opened up these impoverished and conflicted warriors from humble families to pursue progress and bravely become military generals.

The pride is aroused, and everyone is eager to make achievements and stand out, so they naturally listen attentively.

This time, he gave a small talk to the officers and explained military theory, which was similar to the prototype of Whampoa Military Academy. Su Chen knew that it would be difficult to find famous generals in history to work for him in the south, so Su Chen could only train them himself.

I hope that a single spark can start a prairie fire and train a large number of front-line officers who combine theory with practice. The generals will come and follow me in the north and south to complete the great cause in my heart.

"The military is a major event of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. It must be observed. Therefore, the scriptures use five things to calibrate them and find out their feelings: one is called Tao, the second is called Heaven, the third is called Earth, and the fourth is called Earth.

It is called general, and the fifth is called law..."

Su Chen first finished speaking an ancient saying, and then translated and explained it.

"What do you mean by this? Sun Wu once said that war is a country's top priority. It is related to the life and death of soldiers and civilians, and the survival of the country. It cannot be observed, analyzed, and studied carefully. Therefore, before launching a war,

It is necessary to analyze various situations from five aspects of the enemy and ourselves, make comparisons, obtain details, and predict the possibility of winning or losing the war.

"The first is Tao, the great road, who controls the truth, and what is the overall national strength. The second is heaven, what is the climate and time. The third is land, what is the topography like, the fourth is generals, who will be the generals, and the fifth is law, which law and discipline are better

Strict Ming, the most abundant supplies, etc. It is not a single battle that can determine victory or defeat, but a multi-faceted, multi-level comparison that affects the whole body!"

Su Chen's words were clear and logical, and he also shared many of his insights from studying Sun Tzu's Art of War these days to these military officers.

After finishing an article about Sun Tzu's Art of War, Su Chen proposed new techniques on how to train soldiers, such as physical training, such as sit-ups, parallel bars, wood resistance, etc., and set aside a period of time every day to train the physical fitness of soldiers.

Of course, it is not advisable to overdo it, because meat is rarely eaten in this era, especially since these recruits have been hungry for a long time, have very poor physical fitness, and are often skinny. Without adequate nutritional supplements, meat supplements, and lack of lean protein, it is impossible to

If you can withstand physical training, you will suffer from exhaustion.

In this era, there were very few livestock that could eat meat. Cattle were used for farming, horses were used for traveling, black pigs were not eaten on a large scale, and there were too few poultry, chickens, ducks and geese, and they were still used for laying eggs.

In addition, the more popular ones are venison, mutton, etc., which can only be eaten by wealthy people. It would be good if the poor people can eat rice without starving. Most of them only eat pickles and wild vegetables.

The same is true in the army. They can only manage enough rice and vegetables, and not much meat.

If Su Chen wanted to create well-trained and strong soldiers, he would have to regularly supplement his soldiers with meat.

Looking at those domestic animals, the only one that can be bred for food on a large scale is black pig. However, new breeding technology is needed.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes. After conquering the Wuyue Kingdom and restoring the country there, he planned to study the method of raising and eating black pigs. After all, Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty invented Dongpo Meat in Hangzhou.

It was black pork which was rarely eaten at that time.
