[800โ small รท said โ.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
The moonlight sprinkled on the rippling Wujia River (the ancient Yellow River is in the territory of Hanghouqi in Inner Mongolia today), Chen Ying stood on the watchtower, looking at the silent camp. At this time, the air seemed to condense, and even if you stood on a watchtower as high as three feet and six feet, you still didn't feel the slightest coolness.
At this time, the camp of the Lingzhou Army was built near the river. There are also sheepskin rafts on the Uga River from time to time, patrolling back and forth, and if you want to sneak up on the river, it is almost impossible. Dozens of watchtowers as high as three feet and six feet, the topmost pillar is topped, the four walls are empty, a marching iron pot acts as a lampholder, and the wicks of three strands as thick as a baby's arm are also lit, looking from afar, bright as a bright moon hanging.
If there is an attack on the camp nearby, the lantern keeper on the watchtower will also use a large bronze mirror with a concave surface to focus the light farther away.
The heat of midsummer made Chen Ying feel sleepy, and looking at the silent military camp, Chen Ying was very anxious.
With the increasing number of Turkic "annexed armies", without effective unified management and command, the combat effectiveness of these subordinate armies cannot be brought into full play.
By the time they arrived in Toyosu, there were more than 13,000 Turkic people. It is imperative to rectify these subordinate armies. However, as Yu Guni's Lingwu army continued to increase, Chen Ying was worried that this army would gradually get out of control. If he takes the liberty of taking away Yu Guni's authority and compares his heart to his heart, he will definitely be uncomfortable, and the soil is still three-pointed, not to mention that Yu Guni is still a person?
If these problems are not addressed, more serious problems will surely arise over time. Chen Ying thought about it and decided to put the problem on the bright side, if you can accept it, everyone will still be friends in the future, if you are destined to pee in a pot, then we will part ways now.
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Ying convened an enlarged meeting of the generals in the army, and this meeting was attended not only by Liu Tong, Chen Jinyong, Yu Guni, Ashina Simo and other generals, but also by the 72 captains and deputy regiments of the Lingwu Army and the Sixth Zhechong Mansion of the Dingyuan Army.
After seeing everyone arrive, Chen Ying said straight to the point: "There is one thing that I have never had time to say, that is, why did those of us who were soldiers join the army, why did we train hard, and why did we shed blood...... To put it bluntly, it is what is the duty of us soldiers, what are our goals, whose food do we eat, and who do we fight for...... I know that everyone has always thought that we are eating the Li family's food and fighting for the Li family, you may think that we are eating my Chen Ying's food and are ready to fight for me, which is actually wrong. โ
Looking at everyone's incredulous gazes, Chen Ying continued: "There is one thing, we are mistaken. The people who really feed us as soldiers are the old peasants who work in the fields every day with their backs to the loess, the women who weave silk and linen into clothes with their hands, the common people who pay grain and taxes to the imperial court, and the poor people who are starved all day long in order to provide for us...... They grow the food we eat, they weave the clothes we wear, and they squeeze out the money we get from between our teeth...... Therefore, it is the duty of our army to guard those who provide us with food and clothing, to protect them from the arrows and swords of the barbarians, to cultivate and weave cloth in peace, to keep them alive, and to raise their children and procreate. โ
The army is made up of people, and if it is people, they will have the ability to think, and it is absurd and impossible to ask a group to give up the right to think. An army without ideas is an army that can only blindly obey, an army without subjective initiative and a sense of ownership, and such an army will inevitably lose on the battlefield to those who know where they come from, what their duties are, and what they are fighting for. This is the biggest difference between the modern army and the modern army and even the ancient army.
Chen Ying knows the terrible thing about having a thinking and ideal army. "Defend the old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains, blood will not be shed, and there will be no truce to the death...... "The Qin army, which has ideas, swept Liuhe and unified the world." In order to liberate all of China, "the People's Liberation Army defeated the Kuomintang army......
The training system of the ancient army only taught the soldiers how to fight, while the training system of the modern army teaches the soldiers how to fight, and at the same time tells them why they should fight, this difference may not seem big, but on the battlefield, this distinction means victory and defeat.
Chen Yingdao: "The general manager has decided that the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth Zhechong Mansion of the Lingwu Army will be reorganized into the Lingwu Left Army, and the attached army will be organized into the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth Zhechong Mansion, which will be the Lingwu Right Army. Yu Guni is the general of Lingwu, Chen Jinyong is the left general of Lingwu, and Ashina Simo is the right general of Lingwu. โ
Yu Guni and Chen Jinyong both showed very happy expressions, but the generals of the Dingyuan Army looked disappointed. The battle of the Dingyuan Army has not been less, and the results have been many, but because the Dingyuan Army is not expanding as quickly as the Lingwu Army, these generals have never had the opportunity to be promoted.
Chen Ying nominally promoted Yu Guni, but in fact, he was promoted and secretly demoted, stripping Yu Guni from the main military of the Lingwu Army.
Chen Ying ignored it, but continued: "Promote Liu Tong to be the commander of the Lingwu Army, and also record the history of joining the army. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Lingwu Army, five officers at the rank of principal and deputy lieutenant were drawn from the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth Zhichong Prefectures of the Lingwu Left Army, and they were promoted to lieutenants with the rank of lieutenants, brigade commanders to deputy lieutenants, and 10 brigade commanders to brigade commanders, and so on. Thirty captains and vice-captains, one hundred and fifty chiefs and deputy captains. Wait for more than 200 people, and then transfer more than 300 people from the Lingwu Right Army to supplement the Lingwu Left Army. โ
As for the old generation of the new way, which is the common training method of this era, the generals did not raise any objections.
Chen Ying then said: "This chief will add trainers, instructors, and counselors in the Lingwu Left Army and the Lingwu Right Army. โ
Xu Jingzong was puzzled: "Who is this trainer?" โ
Chen Ying explained: "The Lingwu Army has a trainer for each fold of the Chong Mansion, and the rank is Guoyi Du Lieutenant from the fifth grade. The main responsibility of the trainer is to train the soldiers of the Lingwu Army to learn Tang Yan, if the commander of the Chong Chong has the behavior of defecting to the enemy and cowardly fighting, the trainer can behead him, take his position, and temporarily replace him. The instructors are responsible for teaching the officers and men of the regiment to learn the Tang Army in each regiment, and similarly, if the regimental captain and deputy lieutenant surrender and collaborate with the enemy, they can behead their lieutenant and seize their army, and temporarily take them. Regarded as from the sixth grade, Zhenwei lieutenant. In the same way, the counselor is in charge of the Tang Yan study ...... of each brigade"
In fact, the so-called trainers, instructors, and counselors that Chen Ying concocted can basically be regarded as political commissars or instructors for later generations.
