0007 Military
Longxi is located in the east of Wukang County, that is, the Zhongguan Town of Deqing County in later generations, there is Wukang Mountain on the left, and the name of Tongguan Mountain is after the Tang Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info copper official, bronze official, can be traced back to the Han Wu King Liu Biao here copper minting coinage, thought of its name.
The old mansion of the Shen family is here, and the land is dozens of hectares. Shen Zhezi sat on the ox cart and looked up, there were camps stacked outside Qianmo, the armor soldiers came in and out, and the army looked like this, this was the base camp of Daddy's rebellion.
In ancient times, Wu was known as easy to move and difficult to settle down, the folk customs can be described as strong, and later generations were famous for the Confucianization of Wenzhi, and its wind probably began in the later Jin Dynasty.
Crossing the archway similar to the Yuanmen, Daddy Shen Chong got out of the car and boarded the horse, and entered under the embrace of a cadre, and Shen Zhezi's ox cart followed closely behind, walking in this ancient military camp in an important place, it is inevitable that there will be a swaying heart. Since he took the Northern Expedition as his own responsibility, he should be familiar with military affairs, otherwise he would also be a person who is ambitious and talented, and talks generally. Wuxing Shen family has always been known as a general, although later generations are ashamed to claim to be a martial artist, but at the moment, there is a father Shen Chong, a rebellious and habitual general, Shen Zhezi naturally can't let this family break the inheritance, and must carry it forward.
But to be honest, after entering the camp, Shen Zhezi was actually quite disappointed. As far as the eye can see, the ravines in the camp are slanted, the barracks are staggered according to the terrain, and there are piles of earth that are quite eye-catching and more than half a person high next to the barracks door, like a simple construction site, not at all like a majestic barracks.
When the commander entered the camp, there was no picture of the soldiers cheering in line as Shen Zhezi imagined, the father waved his hand on the horse and shouted "Comrades have worked hard", and the soldiers shouted "Serve the people" in unison. The only living people that Shen Zhezi could see were the occasional Zhige soldiers passing through the camp, while most of the other places were very silent, as if no one was there.
As for these patrol soldiers, after seeing Daddy and his party, they didn't react much eagerly, at most they got out of the way, lined up and waited for them to pass, and then continued to parade, and no one even stepped forward to salute, which could not set off the majesty of the commander at all.
"Is it the ancient army that should be like this, or are these villagers recruited by my father a rabble?"
In addition to being disappointed, Shen Zhezi had such a question in his heart, but his father walked solemnly in front of him, and no one explained his doubts. However, the next scene taught him a vivid lesson.
There was a sudden slight commotion in a barracks in front of them, and without spun heels, a group of patrol soldiers marched out of the barracks, and several young soldiers were escorted out with their arms twisted behind their backs, each with a gray face and a pursed lips. Walking to a place where the flag was erected, one of the patrol soldiers waved a pole and struck a small gong hanging under the flag, and then shouted: "The camp is forbidden to play with the canopy, the offender will be beheaded, and the servant will be flogged twenty." ”
Before the words fell, Shen Zhezi saw that the soldiers who were held in custody were pressed on the stone bars, their braids were tied with hemp ropes, and then their hands rose and fell, and then the blood gushed out like a spring for several feet, and the heads had already flown away, and the blood was pulled up by the hemp rope and hung on the crosswood! The other two were stripped of their clothes and pressed in pools of blood, and beaten on their shoulders and backs with rattan made of bamboo strips.
"Hiss......"
Seeing this scene suddenly, Shen Zhezi took a breath, and the whole person was stunned, and there were only a few headless corpses lying on the ground with blood gushing out of their necks in their sights! As a modern person, he had never seen such a cruel picture, until the ox cart had traveled for a long time, and then he shivered, and the turbid air accumulated in his chest slowly exhaled, and he only felt chills all over his body.
He couldn't help but look back again, the corpses on the ground had been dragged away, there were soldiers splashing water to wash the blood on the ground, two soldiers were still being whipped, and the heads hanging from the crosswood were dripping with blood, which was very eye-catching. But other than that, there wasn't much commotion, and it was as calm as if it weren't a few people who had just been killed, but a few chickens. Only its calmness shocked Shen Zhezi even more.
"This is the so-called order and prohibition, Ci is not in charge of the army?"
Shen Zhezi didn't know how many times this scene had been staged in the barracks, but he had already really sensed that there was something called "military might" permeating the camp, because of its existence, everyone in this camp was no longer an independent individual, and the sense of personal existence was oppressed so weak that it was almost nonexistent, and he couldn't help but become a small component of a huge killing machine!
With this kind of understanding, observing this camp like a simple construction site, Shen Zhezi has more feelings. He found that although the barracks were in a mess, they were connected by paths, and the dirt roads were tamped and smoothed, and there were not even larger stones. The mound next to the barracks is generally about the same size. As for the camps where there are no human figures, it is more as if they have life, like fierce beasts attached to the haystack waiting patiently for their prey to take the bait, which may erupt at any time and choose people to devour!
Soldiers!
The so-called fierceness is not the domineering spirit of winning the battle and conquering the battle, nor the tragedy of the sea of corpses and blood, but the indifference to human life and the suppression of human nature!
The ox cart walked on a wheel, and waited until he returned to the old mansion and was settled, but Shen Zhezi still could not recover from the previous huge shock. But in addition to the shock, he also bred a faint excitement in his heart. So far, in troubled times, poetry and books are all over the place, only the bones are at the right time! If Shen Zhezi's desire to build a Northern Expedition was just an empty fantasy before, now after seeing Wu Dishi's soldiers under his father's command, he feels that his dream has a solid foothold.
The old mansion in Longxi is located on a high post at the rear of the army camp, and from the outside, it looks like a walled building that Shen Zhezi saw in his later generations, but the scale is larger. The high wall towers, forms the dragon encirclement, there are several zhang watchtowers on both sides, the place of dwelling in the shape of the victory, the change of the four fields, the deep ditch dug by hand goes around the wall, once the suspension bridge is put away, it becomes the military fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Today's Wuxing Shen clan is divided into two sects, East and West, and most of the people living in this Longxi old mansion are Shen Zhezi and their Eastern clansmen. Dad took Shen Zhezi into the old house, crossed the patio into the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and then led Shen Zhezi to meet the elders of the branches, and then hurriedly left the old house to take care of military affairs in the camp.
Shen Zhezi was brought into the camp by his father in the name of arranging a counselor for military affairs, and as soon as he entered the Chinese military tent, Shen Chong convened his staff to discuss the matter. Shen Zhezi sat in the corner and saw his father's henchmen rushing in.
These subordinates can be roughly divided into two categories, the Shen family members and subordinates are simply promoted as generals, such as Shen Zhezi's uncle Shen Fang, Shen Mo and the subordinate general Lu Jie, etc., each supervising an army, and they are the descendants of the lineage. The other type is the clansmen of other families in Wuzhong who are dependent on the Shen family, such as Sima Gu Yang was born in the Gu family of Wu County, Zhu Zhen who joined the army was born in the Zhu family of Wu County, and the staff officers Qiu Shan, Lu Zheng, Yu Fen, etc. are all children of the Wu family.
After seeing Shen Zhezi in the tent, although he felt a little surprised, he didn't react much, but Shen Chong didn't worry about his son being placed elsewhere and protected by him.
Shen Chong first consulted military affairs and inquired about the deployment of grain, grass, equipment, and other logistical baggage. Shen Zhezi listened carefully, these chores seem to be inconspicuous, but they are the foundation of supporting an army, and they are also the experience he lacks the most.
The Shen family is a powerful family, and it is a wealthy family, and my father has long had experience in raising troops and making rebellion, so it has been less than ten years since the idea of raising troops, and he has gathered enough troops of 10,000 people to consume it in two months. The ordnance that was originally scattered in various estates and other industries was also transferred to Longxi and all of them were distributed, and now the first sequence of soldiers has been reorganized, with more than 6,000 people, divided into three armies. And the auxiliary troops of the second sequence also have 6,000, which can supplement the main army in the second sequence.
And behind this army of 10,000 people, there are more than 20,000 tenants used! Of course, there are many old and weak women among them, who have no combat effectiveness, but they are enough to ensure that the logistics of the army are worry-free.
Shen Zhezi heard these situations beside him, and his heart was even more smacked, and he had a more intuitive understanding of the resources that he could use. According to the virtue of the ancients, the Shen family alone gathered and mobilized the men and horses during this time, and they could already claim an army of 50,000 to the outside world without any anger!
How many households were there in the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty? Just looking at the forces used by the Shen family to rebel, they are all the forces hidden by the family in the township, and the imperial court cannot control them at all. If this is the case in one place, it can be extended to the entire south of the Yangtze River, and the power of the Shen family is no longer inferior to a small separatist regime. No wonder the imperial power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is weak, in the face of such a situation, the imperial court can have the strength to see the hell!
In history, at the turn of the two Jin Dynasty, before and after the southern crossing, there were frequent turmoil in Wudi, and every time there was a figure of the local Haoqiang clan. Looking at this situation as an outsider in the future, Shen Zhezi should deeply hate these local powerful sect thieves, if it weren't for their tyranny of the township and self-respect, the imperial court might not be able to integrate the manpower and material resources of the south of the Yangtze River to raise troops for the Northern Expedition.
But now that he is also in the game, he has another layer of feeling about it. The Sima family clan has done nothing wrong, and has made the fertile soil of Shenzhou into a miasma, and now they are going to come to Jiangnan to make a fortune and seek Gou'an, which is simply unbearable! Rather than entrusting one's own manpower and material resources to the hands of these mediocre talents and being corrupted by them, it is better to hold them firmly in their hands in order to rise to prominence!
During the Qin Dynasty, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu saw the first emperor's car, one sighed "the husband should be like this", and the other said "he can replace him"! Shen Zhezi didn't dare to compare himself with Liu Xiang, but he also had an impulse in his heart, wanting to shout to the Sima family's royal family: "You can't do it, Lao Tzu!" ”
