Zhang Chao plans to repeat his old tricks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Hou Junji carried a sword and put it in front of Zhang Chao, "King Qin asked you to go to King Qin's mansion immediately to listen to the order, if you can't refuse, let me carry your head!" ”

Zhang Chao's face was ugly, "General Hou, you sit down and have a cup of tea first." ”

"The military situation is urgent, there is not so much to spare. Zhang Sanlang, can you accept the Qin Wang Sect? ”

Zhang Chao's brain is a little messy, why does Li Shimin like to mess around like this every time? said that he would let me go undercover in the East Palace, and it was not easy to gain a firm foothold in the East Palace and gain the trust of the prince. Why does Li Shimin want to openly transfer him over now, isn't it suspicious?

Zhang Chao didn't want to go to war, whether it was going to Hebei to fight the Turks, or to Longyou and the Tuyuhun people. But Li Shimin actually asked Hou Junji to come with his sword, this bastard, he remembered the change in Xuanwumen. At that time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had also been transferred out of Li Shimin's command, and Li Shimin sent someone to call the two to the Qin Palace, but the two said that it was inconvenient. As a result, Li Shimin let people pass with his sword, either the person passed or the head passed.

It seems that Li Shimin is a bit anxious to jump off the wall now.

Zhang Chao first promised Hou Jun to go to Chang'an for the assembly, and then asked about the situation. When he learned that Li Shimin was going to Longyou with 10,000 soldiers to conquer Tuyuhun, he also made a military order, thinking that he was really crazy. Could it be that Li Shimin let him go regardless of it, this is to gamble on all his net worth.

"Your Highness has an order to immediately recruit 3,000 people from the workshop in Ba Shang."

"Most of the apprentices in the workshop are undergraduates, and many of them are not even middle-aged men! Even if you want to recruit soldiers, you have to recruit young people! Zhang Chao was furious when he heard this, the total number of workers in his workshops was less than 6,000, and if he took away 3,000 at once, then his workshops would have to stop.

In particular, many of the people in the workshop are not mature, from the age of twelve to seventeen or eighteen, and three thousand are drawn from it, which means that all those over the age of sixteen have to be drawn.

All his workshops had to be shut down, and the worst thing was that these workers were all trained by him. What a pity if the war is lost.

"When the national crisis is at the head, even if it is a middle-aged man, he has to go to the battlefield."

Having said that, anyway, no matter whether Zhang Chaotong agrees or not, it has to be implemented.

Although this is not an edict of the emperor, it is the Qin Wangjiao. It is more advanced than the official documents of ordinary government offices.

In the end, the first four words of the national disaster made Zhang Chao calm down a little, the court was worried about internal and external troubles, there was a rebellion in the south, there were Turks in the north and south, and now the Guanzhong was empty. Although he didn't believe that Tuyuhun could hit Chang'an, it was indeed the first four words of the country's disaster at the moment.

At this time, Li Shimin asked him to accompany the army to resist Tuyuhun, and even called the boys over the age of sixteen in the workshop to join the army, but he really couldn't refuse.

"Steward, go and inform the stewards of the various workshops, and ask him to call all the workers over the age of sixteen to the entrance of the village." Zhang Chao sent the housekeeper to the door, and then whispered to him, "Tell the steward that the craftsmen and skilled workers in important positions in the workshops tell them to stay in the workshops and not come out." ”

A craftsman and a skilled worker are quite difficult to cultivate, and Zhang Chao doesn't want these people to lose anything.

Village.

Thousands of workers gathered there, some for unknown reasons.

Hou Junji stood on a high stool with Li Shimin's sword in his hand, announced the Qin Wangjiao to the workers, and recruited the workers to fight as soldiers.

The workers were shocked by the order, and they exchanged heads and ears.

Zhang Chao walked over, pressed down with both hands, and the workers calmed down.

"Now there is a rebellion in the south of Jianghuai Fugongyi, and there are Turks in the north, at this time, Tuyuhun in the west took advantage of the fire to rob and attacked the three states of Longyou, which has threatened the safety of Guanzhong and Gyeonggi. His Royal Highness the King of Qin was ordered to take command of the expedition. However, at present, there are few soldiers in Beijing, so they have to recruit a group of people who dare to fight to join the army. ”

"Whoever applies for the recruitment shall be rewarded with five thousand dollars. If there are applicants, stand in the open space on the left to register! ”

The people standing there were all young people of sixteen, seventeen or eighteen, and they were a little excited when they heard about the war. When they heard that there would be a reward of 5,000 yuan for recruitment, that they would be paid for going to the battlefield, that they would be rewarded for meritorious service, and that they would even have the opportunity to be awarded a medal or promotion, many people were moved.

Seeing these teenagers stand up, Zhang Chao's heart was extremely complicated.

He was very reluctant for these people to go to war, not only because they were his own workers, but when they left, the workshop would have to cut production by half, not to mention that it would stop working. And these people are still so young, they don't even have the slightest training, but now they are going to Longyou to fight, facing the tough Qiang and Di tribes, once they will succeed, they don't know how many people will be able to come back.

In the end, 3,000 people were raised.

All of them are over 16 years old, but most of them are middle-aged men under the age of 21.

"Congratulations, San Lang, you are now the head of the march of the Right Rear Army!" Hou Junji stood there and said with a smile.

Zhang Chao didn't have a good face, this time he really caught the duck on the shelf.

As for the head of the march of the right rear army, he was not even more happy. This means that Li Shimin has planned to let these middle-aged men recruited by Bashang form an army independently.

A regiment of Datang is more than 20,000 people, including 14,000 soldiers, more than 6,000 auxiliary soldiers, there are seven armies such as the middle army, the left and right Yu Hou army, and the left front, right front, left rear and right rear, etc., the number of the Chinese army is the largest, there are 4,000 people, the left and right Yu Hou 2,000 and eight, and the left front, left and left, front and right rear four armies each 2,006.

Originally, the configuration had its own soldiers and auxiliaries.

But now listening to Hou Junji's words, it is obvious that Li Shimin will not scatter the 10,000 soldiers into seven armies. He will concentrate these 10,000 soldiers and horses in the middle front and the left and right Yu Hou army.

There are 2,080 soldiers in the Chinese army, and 1,900 soldiers in the left and right Yuhou soldiers, and these three armies account for 6,060 soldiers. There are three thousand or four left, which is only enough to strengthen one more army, and there are three armies left, all of which will be new recruits.

If you say that it sounds good, it can be regarded as a reserve army, but if it is ugly, it is cannon fodder.

Hou Junji gave everyone half a day to pack their luggage and say goodbye to their families. He went to Chang'an and brought the promised reward. Before leaving, Hou Jun raised the roster of recruits in Yang's hand, "As soon as you enter the roster, you are already a soldier of the imperial court, if anyone dares to regret avoiding those who do not join the army, it will be a deserter, and it will be decided!" ”

The murderous words made many teenagers who had just registered their names hesitate a little.

"Take it all and pack up your things, come back before dark and gather, don't delay the time, otherwise, military law is ruthless." Zhang Chao said to those worker apprentices helplessly.

Back in the courtyard, Cui Yingying and the others all knew that Zhang Chao was going to go on the expedition.

Not long after my father went to Hebei, now Zhang Chao is going to Longyou again.

"San Lang, if you can't go, just say you're sick."

Zhang Chao shook his head and reached out to caress Cui Yingying's face, "It's not okay if you don't go this time, don't worry too much, it'll be fine." You all go and help me pack up, fry some rice, get some meat floss, dried meat, sausages, ham, you don't need much. Prepare your horses again! ”

Seeing that Cui Yingying was about to shed tears, Zhang Chao took her hand and sat aside to comfort, "Don't worry, I'm not a general, even if I follow the army, I will sit in the middle army camp to make suggestions, or be responsible for logistics in the rear." ”

"Yingying, after I leave, it may take a few months to come back. A few workshops you can come out and rearrange the production line, turn back, and recruit some apprentices in the neighborhood, even young women's apprentices. The brewery can reduce the scale of production a little first, but don't stop at the printing workshop. ”

The old cow came over with the big cow and the second cow.

"San Lang, let the two of them go with you and take care of your life."

Zhang Chao asked the Niu brothers a few words, and they were all willing to go.

"Da Niu's wife is pregnant, don't go, Erniu will go with me."

Ke Xiaosan and Ke Xiaoba also expressed their willingness to follow Zhang Chaozheng on the expedition, and Da Niu said that he had to join the army and wanted to earn some fame. Zhang Chao couldn't persuade him, so he had to agree, so he had four family members to follow, four Niu brothers and four Ke brothers.

The red line prepared clothes for Zhang Chao, and finally prepared seven or eight large boxes.

Zhang Chao couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, "Why have you prepared so many fur furs, it's summer now, and you can't use it if you bring it." ”

"San Lang, in case the battle goes to winter, be prepared."

"Don't talk about the good, you can talk about the bad, you won't fight for that long. Pick out all the winter clothes, and don't have so many summer clothes. Just prepare five or six sets of clothes, get two blankets, two sets of raincoats, and take out the rest. I'm going to fight, not play. ”

Zhang Chao looked at everything the same, picked out all the superfluous ones as much as possible, and then streamlined them.

"Don't use a box, just wrap it in a skin."

For the dry food prepared by Qiuyue, Zhang Chao didn't pick it. Although there are a lot of preparations, there are four hams, and there are many sausages, bacon, salted eggs, dried fish, jerky, meat floss, milk powder, ghee, milk tofu, milk skins, and cheese. Even Zhang Chao's full set of seasonings for barbecue and picnic outside was prepared.

Coupled with fried rice, it's a bit much.

However, Zhang Chao also brought four family members, and the food will be slowly consumed on the way anyway.

Alone in the cellar, this is where Zhang Chao usually writes books behind closed doors, but in fact it is the place where he copies books from the computer. Zhang Chao opened the heavily locked iron box, which was placed under the floor of the cellar, and ordinary people could not find it.

This is Zhang Chao's biggest secret, after thinking about it, Zhang Chao brought a mobile phone, a tablet, and some medicine, and then a telescope and a solar charger. Bring a tablet and a phone, mainly for the map inside. Although some of the historical maps are relatively simple, there are also some modern maps in them, which can always be compared with each other.

It's a pity that there is no network, otherwise the map of Brother Gu or the map of Du Niang will be opened, and there will be both satellite maps and topographic maps, which will be powerful.

But it's better than nothing, even if it's some digital atlases, but it can always help somewhat.

In fact, Zhang Chao regrets it now, it is better to go to Hebei before. At least Li Jiancheng went with 60,000 horses, and there were still a lot of soldiers and horses in Hebei, adding up, the entire Hebei battlefield, the Tang army was estimated to have 100,000, even if only half of them were elites, there were 50,000. He followed Li Jiancheng, and he definitely didn't have to charge ahead.

It's good now, he was carried to Longyou by Li Shimin, only 10,000 people, plus 10,000 cannon fodder, to make a legion, but he is still 10,000 soldiers, and the rest are just people.

ran to Longyou to fight, Zhang Chao didn't have the slightest confidence.

In the afternoon, Hou Junji came, bringing 15,000 yuan for settling in, and also brought a military order.

Zhang Chao was appointed as the head of the march of the right rear army of the Longyou Dao Army.

The 3,000 soldiers recruited from Bashang were organized into the Right Rear Army. It is organized into 60 brigades, 10 regiments and one regiment, two regiments and one battalion, and three battalions as an army.

Zhang Chao was the head of the march.

3,000 men, all of them are long troops.

The so-called long army is one person with a spear, and then there is no other equipment. There was no iron armor, no leather armor, not even cloth armor, only a simple cloth robe and military uniform, and a spear in each person's hand, no horizontal swords, no bows and arrows, and no shields.

There were no cavalry teams, no crossbowmen, no archers, no commandos, and no surprise troops.

The right rear army of 3,000 men, all spears and cloth clothes.

And their marching manager is actually Zhang Chao!

The normal right rear army had 2,600 men, of which 1,850 were soldiers and 755 auxiliaries. Among the soldiers there should be ten cavalry teams, five crossbowmen, six archers, eight assault teams, and eight odd soldiers.

Infantry, cavalry, long-range archers and crossbowmen, melee sword and shield men, spearmen, and even Mo knife men should all have them, but now, Zhang Chao took three thousand teenagers and formed an army.

This is the first cannon fodder army in history!

Zhang Chao wants to scold his mother very much, Lao Tzu is not an officer, you give me a marching manager? Although there was no distinction between civil and military in the Tang Dynasty, and civilian and military officials could often be changed at will, do you think I am a person who can lead troops to fight?

You don't want to send some government soldiers to be the backbone, you must at least send some experienced officers to lead the troops, right?

Hou Junji brought Li Shimin's military order to Zhang Chao, and asked Zhang Chao to immediately organize the three thousand recruited troops, and then take them to gather outside Chang'an City.

Li Shimin gave Zhang Chao more than 100 government soldiers, and these people came to serve as the chief and deputy captains of the 60 teams of Zhang Chao's right rear army, as well as the captains of six regiments, and the generals of three battalions.

The six newly appointed battalion-level commanders turned out to be in Li Shimin's mansion, and they were just the royal guards.

As for those who were sent to serve as regimental captains, brigade commanders, and team leaders, they were all - they turned out to be just little radish heads like the palace guards and the team members in the tent.

Not even a decent person was sent.

Li Shimin, this is really treating them as cannon fodder.

What he couldn't understand was that since Li Shimin asked him to join the army by name, why didn't he transfer him to the Chinese army, but let him be this bullshit marching commander?

This marching commander is the last brigade commander, in charge of two or three thousand men and horses, but he is not an officer, so what should he do with these soldiers and horses?

I don't understand.

But the military order has been issued, no matter whether he wants to understand it or not, Zhang Chao can only accept the order.

Zhang Chao simply organized the 3,000 people into three battalions, six regiments and sixty teams, and anyway, there was no distinction between cavalry and infantry archers, so he only organized people who were more familiar with each other into a team according to the workshop where they were originally located. In the end, there were 60 teams, one squad for every three people, one squadron for three squadrons, 45 people for five squadrons, plus the team leader, team deputy, and two standard-bearers, and a military judge and secretary, a total of 50 people.

Li Shimin only sent Zhang Chao the captain and deputy captain, and in the end, he had to send one person to serve as the team leader, and one person to serve as the team deputy and military judge, and then Zhang Chao himself selected one person from the team as the team deputy and two people as the standard-bearer.

After the temporary marshalling was completed, he rested overnight in Zhangjiagou and officially left for Chang'an the next day.

Only one flag in front of the whole army was regular, and the rest of the soldiers wore all kinds of clothes and went to Chang'an bare-handed with backpacks on their backs.

When he arrived at the temporary camp outside Chang'an, Zhang Chao finally met Li Shimin.

"Wen Yuan, I have appointed you as the head of the march of the right rear army, and you will go to receive the weapons and battle clothes of the right rear army in a while, each of you has a set of battle clothes and a foot lance."

"Your Highness, I have never led a soldier, and I don't think it's appropriate to let me be the head of the march of the right rear army."

"Don't worry, although there are 3,000 men in the right rear army, I know that they have not fought. The task of you and the right rear army is to be responsible for escorting food, grass and ordnance. I will lead the main force to take the lead, and you will then escort the grain, grass and ordnance. Li Shimin said.

Hearing this, Zhang Chao breathed a sigh of relief, so the Right Rear Army is actually a people's baggage battalion, which is a little more reassuring. (To be continued.) )
