"Seven bans, fifty-four beheadings." The three-eyed tiger took a breath, "So many." He looked at the red lady, "This is too troublesome. The head of the family, remember when we were at Yingzui Rock, with thousands of brothers,

There are not so many restrictions, we are brothers and we can fight with ease!"

Wu Fan said with a smile: "When we are young, we have the same loyalty and are naturally easy to control. However, there are hundreds of thousands of regular combat troops under the command of the governor. If we rely only on loyalty, we are afraid that there will be a big mess. Only merit will be rewarded, and demerits will be rewarded."

There must be punishment, there are laws to follow, and law enforcement must be strict, so that we can use our arms and fingers as we wish. The Northern Army is invincible in every battle, and strict military discipline is one of them. These disciplines have penetrated into the bone marrow of every soldier.

Hit!"

"Did Yun Zhao put in a lot of effort back then?" asked the red lady.

"Fortunately!" Wu Fan said: "Most of the members of the Northern Expeditionary Army were originally regular troops, and they had a certain degree of discipline. After the establishment of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the governor formed various disciplines into laws and regulations, and naturally promoted them. At the beginning

At that time, it caused a lot of minor troubles because it was too strict, but now it is much better. Within the jurisdiction of the Northern Expeditionary Army, various veterans have brought these laws and regulations into the militia reserves. Now new recruits no longer need to spend money.

Kung Fu will allow them to automatically integrate into it.”

The red lady stared at the steel-like troops outside the camp gate, and couldn't help but feel sad. Unfortunately, she knew this too late. The White Lotus Army had been blown away by the wind and rain. She didn't know how to restore the grandeur of the past.

Wait until what year and month. The composition gap between your own troops and Yun Zhao's troops is too big. It's probably impossible for your White Lotus Army to transform into this.

The sound of drums began to sound again, long horns were mixed in, and the troops began to move, as if they were going to drill.

"What do you practice every day?" asked the red lady.

"General Hui Yan, it's wartime right now. Every day we just practice changing battle formations, cooperating with each other, cooperating with infantry and cavalry, etc. If it were in peacetime, it would be different. After reciting military discipline every day, each department will practice based on the actual situation of the department.

, self-training, and only large-scale cooperative combat drills will be conducted during monthly drills. In fact, now, it is just to let the soldiers maintain their old habits and give them a little exercise!"

The slightest movement of what Wu Fan said in his mouth already made the Three-Eyed Tiger stunned. Tens of thousands of troops outside were passing through each other, like streams of water flowing, but they were clearly separated from each other without any hindrance.

The horses were galloping, but whenever they came to the place where the two armies met, there would always be a passage for them to drive their horses through. After a while, the three-eyed tiger actually felt a little dizzy.

"How long will it take to practice this?" the three-eyed tiger murmured.

"It's worth spending some time in peacetime!" Wu Fan said: "If you worry more and sweat more in peacetime, you can reduce unnecessary casualties and enhance combat effectiveness during war. What we have to deal with is the Mongolian cavalry, and the soldiers' discipline is slightly lax.

That’s a disaster, so you can’t always be careful!”

"Let's go, stop reading!" The more she watched, the more she felt the huge gap. She felt sad in her heart. The defeat of the White Lotus Army was not unreasonable, but equipping and training an army like Yun Zhao requires a huge amount of money.

Supported by Yun Zhao, who controls Yizhou, which is known as the land of abundance,

Moreover, most of Yizhou has not been devastated by the war, so it naturally has enough energy to do these things, but even if I have the intention, I don’t have the ability. In the two states of Shaanxi and Jiangxi, ordinary farmers’ families have suffered a lot.

People who are so poor that they don’t have a meal can only support themselves with this kind of wealth.

The three of them got off the sentry tower, and the red lady returned to the Chinese army's tent gloomily, followed by the three-eyed tiger.

"You really don't know how to compare, you will be shocked when you compare!" Three-Eyed Tiger sat down on the chair, "Master, after we go back, we really have to make great efforts to improve the situation. Even if we can't reach this level, the whole army will

As long as they are six or seven points above the level, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

"It's easy for you to say. Where do the weapons, food and grass come from?" The red lady rolled her eyes at him, "With such a large amount of training like the Northern Conquest Army, the soldiers consume at least twice as much food every day as when they are not training. When we go out,

Can you afford it? Don’t you need a lot of money to buy those iron helmets?”

"Conquer a city, rob it of a few rich and evil gentry, and you will have everything!" Three-Eyed Tiger said carelessly.

"We have robbed a lot over the years, but the money we robbed can never keep up with consumption!" The red lady shook her head, "Yun Zhao held a big hen that laid golden eggs, so he was lavish. We,

It’s incomparable!”

"Master, if you ask Xiao Yunzi for it, is it possible that he has the nerve not to give it to you?" Three-Eyed Tiger came over and whispered: "They have to supply grain, grass, ordnance, and armor to the Fifth Army of the Northern Expedition in Xingyi anyway.

If the camp didn’t send more, we wouldn’t have it.”

"Why should someone give it to you for free?" The red lady rolled her eyes.

"Why is it a free gift?" Three-Eyed Tiger said anxiously: "Yun Zhao tricked you into going to bed, so what does it mean to give you something!"

With a bang, the red lady flew up and kicked the three-eyed tiger to the ground, including the person and the chair, "Three-eyed tiger, are you seeking death?" The shy and annoyed red lady pointed her halberd at the three-eyed tiger, her hands were all wet.

Started shaking.

"Master, you let it slip, don't blame me!" Seeing that the red lady was still trying to take action, the three-eyed tiger was startled, and lay on the ground begging for mercy.

At this moment, Yun Zhao lifted the curtain. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but said strangely: "Miaomiao, Master Hu, what are you doing at this time?"

The three-eyed tiger turned over and climbed up, patted the dirt on his body, and said in a somewhat embarrassed manner: "Nothing, I woke up in the morning, my body is sore, and I have to relax my muscles and bones after fighting against the master!"

Yun Zhao couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the appearance of the three-eyed tiger, he was really relieved. Seeing that the three-eyed tiger was about to leave, Yun Zhao said: "Master Tiger, you haven't had breakfast yet. Don't leave when you come."

, let’s have breakfast together. Wu Fan!”

Wu Fan walked into the tent: "Go get three breakfasts!" Yun Zhao ordered.

"I also want a jug of wine!" Three-eyed Tiger said from the side.

Wu Fan hesitated for a moment and glanced at Yun Zhao, "Master Hu, alcohol is prohibited in the army."

"Okay, you go to the medical officer and get some wine for Master Hu. Master Hu is a guest and is not bound by the military discipline of the Northern Expedition Army!" Yun Zhao waved his hand and said.

"Aren't you going to have morning training with the soldiers? Why are you back so soon?" asked the red lady.

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I said it was a morning training with the soldiers, but in fact it was just to show my face and stretch my muscles. I really participated in it, but the generals below were uncomfortable and nervous. It is better to encourage the soldiers.

Encourage yourself, then leave early and calm down early, so as not to cause trouble to the generals below."

The red lady smiled and said: "Is this your way of controlling people?"

"Trust and delegate power!" Yun Zhao said: "In war, I only look at the results. I tell the generals below me the results I want. As for how to fight, that is their business. Each general's style of leading troops is very different. The following is

The military's combat style has a strong imprint of the general himself, and if I get involved in it, it will be bad."

"Like Meng Yao, you trust him so much." Lady Hong stared at Yun Zhao, "You have forgotten what happened in the early years. If they hadn't led the army to resist, we might have rescued Uncle Shen. In the Lucheng Camp back then, except They and Sima Rui's other troops are vulnerable."

Yun Zhao was silent for a long time and said: "I am also very sorry about this matter, but Meng Yao and the others couldn't help themselves at the time. To be honest, I had a grudge against them at the beginning, but as the troops I led crossed As I came more and more, and the army became more and more regular, I slowly realized the inertia that sometimes soldiers have. In this matter, they were indeed at fault, but over the years, they have washed it away with their own blood. In order to avoid the shame they suffered, the Lucheng Battalion fought bloody battles with the Mongols many times. The soldiers in this battalion have gone through many changes! People can change, wonderful!"

"If we want to be strong, we must be tolerant. As long as we agree on the big goal, we can unite together." Yun Zhao held the red lady's hand, "I don't expect you to become friends with them, but I hope you can Treat them as comrades-in-arms. We still have a long way to go!"

The red lady nodded, "I'll try my best!"

While he was talking, Wu Fan had already walked in with a tray. The tray contained a pile of white steamed buns, three bowls of porridge, and a plate of extremely finely chopped black filaments, which were placed on the small table in the large tent. Finally, he took out a small iron pot from his pocket and handed it to the three-eyed tiger, "Master Tiger, I'm sorry, the medical officer is so stingy that he only did this."

Staring at the small bottle, the three-eyed tiger didn't speak for a while, and finished it in just one sip.

"Come, let's eat!" Yun Zhao sat down, picked up a steamed bun with one hand, took a big bite, and picked up the bowl with the other hand, pouring half of it down.

"This is what you eat in the morning." The red lady looked at the breakfast on the tray and asked in surprise. Even if they are as poor as the White Lotus Army, high-ranking generals like them still have wine and meat.

"I've had a hard time this year. That guy Cheng Qun tricked me." Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Fortunately, Yizhou and Luzhou had a good harvest, otherwise I really don't know how to fill this big hole. What's the matter, we usually have a good harvest." It's like this, it's good to have a full meal. At noon, I asked Wu Fan to get something delicious!"

"You eat this, what do the soldiers eat?" Three-Eyed Tiger said curiously.

Wu Fan said with a smile: "It's basically the same, but the generals eat white-faced steamed buns, and the ordinary soldiers eat black-faced steamed buns, with some bran mixed in, which makes the taste worse. It’s the same.”

"We don't pay so much attention during the war!" Yun Zhao picked up a black silk chopstick and said to the three-eyed tiger: "Master Tiger, this is our specialty in Yizhou. It tastes good and goes well with wine!"

The three-eyed tiger frowned and took a sip, "It's so salty!" He smacked his lips.

"Salty is good, so if you eat less salty food, it will be easier to eat!" Yun Zhao laughed.

"No, Xiao Yunzi, you are too stingy," the three-eyed tiger shouted.

"Things can only flow if you plan carefully!" Yun Zhao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if Mr. Tiger is not used to it. At noon, every soldier will have a pound of meat to eat!"
