Chapter 48 What is the Youth Army
Returning to the Dujiangyan military camp, Yun Zheng didn't have time to rest, so he discussed with Su Xun the issue of whether these family members should go or stay. At first, he thought that the land divided by Zhang Fangping was very large and generous, but now he realized that the huge military camp could only hold these 40,000 people.
Installed by multiple people.
Seeing Su Xun's haggard face, Yun Zheng said guiltily: "Thank you for your hard work."
Su Xun smiled and said: "It's not hard, I am now living the addiction of the magistrate. There are more than 30,000 people and nearly 8,000 households. This is the population of Zhongxian County. To put it bluntly, our Wu Shengjun is like a prefecture, and the prefecture has troubles
, we all have it, the prefecture and county don’t have it
We still have some troubles, and we can't sort them out. It took you four days to sort out the population. There are a total of 8,351 households with 46,355 people.
The total number of soldiers of suitable age is 16,300."
Yunzheng frowned after hearing this number and said: "The population of each household is very small. I saw that you combined many people into one household. And why are there so few people over forty years old? Males are not
It’s okay to have more, there are so few older women..."
Yun Zheng suddenly stopped mid-sentence, took a breath and looked at Su Xun silently. Su Xun nodded sadly, indicating that Yun Zheng's guess was correct, those elderly women were all dead...
...just to save a mouthful of food to feed the children...
"Then I gave Wen Hanchen an advantage by dragging him to death with a horse?"
Su Xun punched the table and said bitterly: "Thieves who destroy the people should be cut into pieces. Killing them to eliminate harm for the people and relieve the worries of the Song Dynasty is wrong! I wish I could kill this thief with my own hands."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "It's good that you don't have any grudges in your heart. I always do things a little bit out of line. This is a big disadvantage for an official! It is probably difficult to get promoted, so don't worry too much.'
"I don't have any big thoughts about official positions. As long as I can place these people in place, it means that I have done my best for the Song Dynasty court. If you learn well, you will become an official. I just have to try it."
Yun Zheng tapped the roster with his knuckles and said: "This is actually a microcosm of how the army runs a society. Everyone in the Song Dynasty thought that they had thrown away a big burden, but they didn't know that this was the biggest worry of the Song Dynasty. If you give me one hundred thousand boxes,
Army, in one area, I can rely on a hundred thousand Xiang troops. Millions of women and children form a country, and they can break away from the Song Dynasty and establish themselves as kings at any time. Therefore, there are still smart people in the court, and they disperse the Xiang troops.
into several armies
Wu, let them be relatively independent but not subordinate to each other, and they are indifferent to the fights between the Xiang armies. In fact, they are trying to divide the Xiang armies and not let the Xiang armies unite with each other. Just because I see this through, I will
Wen Hanchen's death attack should be something the imperial court likes to see. After this incident, our Wu Shengjun has been isolated, and Liu Yucheng has also said that it will be difficult for us to get support from him in the future. Aren't you worried?"
Su Xun shook his head and smiled: "You have found a large piece of land for Wu Shengjun's family in Huanzhou, and you have even helped them determine their livelihood. These family members only need to rest in Dujiangyan for half a year and take care of themselves before going there.
It’s Huanzhou. Dujiangyan is only used as a pure military camp, so aren’t those people doing what you want by isolating you?”
Yun Zheng just smiled noncommittally. Su Xun said again: "It seems that I didn't get to the point. If you continue to talk, it will reach the level of tactics. You didn't plan to sell Fu Bi's war horse to him for nothing, did you? At the same time, you also prepared
By helping Zhong Er build up the cavalry, does it mean that you really plan to travel to the northwest in the future?"
Yun Zheng waved his hands and objected: "I didn't think so far. I thought I could get the Yongxing Army. Who knew that the Yongxing Army was taken away by Cao Rong? I got a shabby Wu Sheng Army. I originally wanted to rely on the Yongxing Army.
It seems impossible to do something on the Yongxing Military Road now. After all, the Yongxing Military Road is
The largest military route in the Song Dynasty, I originally thought about combining the Yongxing Army. After what happened with Wen Hanchen, I became desperate. Those big guys controlled the world so well that they didn't give me any loopholes to take advantage of. So I had no choice but to
The land in Huanzhou was used to raise Wu Shengjun’s women and children.”
"I wonder if you have any ideas about how to reorganize Wu Shengjun?"
"Yes, the young army only needs 10,000 people, just 10,000 people. These people are all soldiers. It is enough to reserve another 2,000 people to bear the logistics. In fact, I want to entrust the logistics to the merchants, the big merchants in Sichuan.
There are so many of them, but those of Jiaozi
The emergence will definitely have a great promotion effect on the business in Shu. The logistics will be subcontracted to the merchants, and my army will only be responsible for fighting. Haha, in our Song Dynasty, the credit of merchants is more than ten times better than the credit of the government.
I will place the extra people in Qinfeng Road and Huanzhou. These two places are sparsely populated and are prone to wars. Such places can best cultivate strong folk customs, and the future Song Dynasty will be the most
What is needed is toughness.
Huanzhou has a way of being stable and worry-free within a few decades, which gives us decades of adjustment time. I don’t believe that I can’t train an army that can sweep across the mainland. The glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties is acquired.
, it’s not something you’re born with.”
Su Xun's eyes were shining, and he asked in a low voice: "Do you actually want to put it in the next generation?"
Yun Zheng looked through the window at the soldiers of Wu Shengjun running around carrying their rice bowls and said: "Do you think these people fit the image of the Youth Army? Do you see the youthful vigor in them? They are now a group of people who only know
Idiots with full stomachs will be the mother of anyone who gives them food. They have no thoughts, no awareness, and no ideals. They may be brave for a while just for their stomachs, but how can they last long? As long as they have enough food and clothing, I guarantee that they will quickly degenerate.
.
What I have to do is to quickly train the officers of Wu Shengjun while they still have some fighting spirit. Once those children grow up, an army that can make the enemy tremble will truly appear. With such an army,
Only then can I dare to talk about breaking through the Helan Mountains and regaining the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. Only by keeping the blood of martial arts in the hearts of those young people will they be invincible in the future under the command of a group of experienced officers."
Su Xun also turned his head to look at those people, only to see those people looking at this person's bowl, looking at that person's bowl, and finally compared the food in his own bowl before starting to wolf down the meal.
I think what Yun Zheng said is absolutely correct.
"From now on, when eating in the military camp, children come first and soldiers come second. I think we must make a distinction. It would be best if those children could know a few words."
Yun Zheng laughed and said: "That's natural. As long as all the children in the military camp are literate, who dares to confuse them with those Qiu Ba? We must treat these soldiers with force, but we must treat those children with affection.
Cultivate their sense of honor and pride from an early age."
Su Xun smiled and said: "It would be difficult to find so many teachers in other places, but it is very easy in Dujiangyan. There are many scholars in Sichuan but few who are talented. These old men will naturally take care of it, so you don't have to worry.
"
Yun Zheng was very happy to see Su Xun leaving gracefully. The man he coaxed to join the army with more than 100 yuan was really worth it. He could not only be used as the county magistrate, but also as a staff officer. The best thing was that he could also be used as a staff officer.
If you can use it as a husband, the money spent is so worth it...
Three days later, the horn sounded from the Dujiangyan military camp, and countless soldiers hurried out of their respective barracks to line up in the school field. The soldiers from Jiazi Camp had been standing in full robes for a while, and the new soldiers
Still noisy
He was noisily looking for his commander and his team. When Yun Zheng's fingers were all bent, Peng Jiu led the law enforcement team to catch those who had not yet found the team running around like headless flies and drove them outside.
in the place.
The military discipline has been passed on for a long time. The only thing these people have to do in the past three days is to recite the military discipline. No one checked. They thought it was just a formality. Unexpectedly, those who did not join the army today would face the punishment of military discipline.
Nowadays, Wu Shengjun does not deduct food, but military law is not merciful. Only under Peng Jiu's whip did they realize that Wu Shengjun's rice was not that delicious. Every whip fell on his back. Anyone who shouted
, the whip will be heavier, and after a while these people have learned the lesson, gritting their teeth and being whipped without saying a word in order to have enough to eat.
After these people were beaten with whips in full view of the public, Yun Zheng ordered them to disperse. It seemed that he was here specifically to beat people today. In a short period of time, Peng Jiu gained the reputation of "King of Hell", which means that when he encountered
Peng Jiu had just met the Lord of Hell.
A veteran who no longer participated in military training at the edge of the field took a broom and swept the floor with the veterans from Jiazi Camp and asked softly: "Brother, what are you doing, General? Those young people don't understand military discipline and don't mean to say hello.
Are you going to get whipped?"
The veteran of Jiazi Camp chewed tea and looked at the veteran next to him with disdain and said: "Establish your authority, how can a general achieve authority if he doesn't establish authority? Look at you, you have only been here a few days and you have turned the military camp into a pigsty."
, Ide Kyoutu was not in the designated place, which made the military camp smell bad. The general is the most clean person, and his wife comes over from time to time.
How come you are such a stinky noble? You don't stand or sit down, and you think you owe it to the master after you've had enough food for a few days? When you start practicing later, hey, even beheading will happen.
If you're serious, just drive the whole family out of the military camp. That's why you can't live or die. The rules in the Dujiangyan camp are designed to be followed."
The new veteran smiled coquettishly and said: "Isn't this new? I see that all of you, brother, are living a prosperous life. If you have any way to make money, please let me know."
The veteran of Jiazi Camp sneered and said: "How to make money, do you plan to sell the weapons or the leather armor? Or make money by tipping others off?"
‘It’s not like we haven’t done these things before in Jiajiang, don’t you think so, brother?”
The veteran of Jiazi Camp looked at this old guy for a long time, threw away the broom in his hand, rushed towards him, threw the new veteran to the ground, rode on top of him and punched him, and while beating him, he cursed: "Dog"
Damn it, the Lord's hard work was wasted. He raised you bunch of white-eyed wolves. Damn it, the Lord rode his horse for more than three hundred miles day and night to kill Wen Hanchen. Your consciences are all gone.
Eaten by a dog..."
