Chapter 105: Conscription

(The first more is delivered!) )

At dinner in the evening, Zhang Chao brought forward the idea of running a private school in Zhangjiagou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"I want to run a private school and it costs a lot of money, just hire two gentlemen. As for the private school house, just ram a few earthen walls, and then build a roof with wood and thatch, and then lay a floor heating so that you are not afraid of the cold in winter. We have ready-made materials and labor, even if it doesn't cost much to hire two gentlemen, but running a private school is a good thing that can benefit one party. ā€

"That's a good thing." Daddy nodded.

Today, my dad is a little absent-minded, holding a bowl of rice, and only cares about the rice and does not see the vegetables.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Dad put down the bowl and sighed, "I have something to tell you, I went to the township military mansion today." ā€

Hearing the word military government, Zhang Chao frowned, do you want to go on the expedition? But Dad just came back from the Central Plains battlefield, and according to the rules, he can rest at home for the next ten months.

However, there is an exception, that is, if there is a war, the court can recruit them, unconditionally.

"Going to war?"

"Hmm." Dad nodded, "I received the order and was promoted to the team." ā€

"Congratulations to Daddy."

Dad didn't have much joy, he was a lot older, and he had already looked down on promotions. Now that I have Zhang Chao's son, I just want to be able to marry Qi Niang as soon as possible, and then watch Zhang Chao marry Cui's daughter.

He just wants to get his grandson as soon as possible and enjoy the rest of his life in peace.

But this appointment came from the Tiance Mansion, which is now the highest institution in control of the Tang Dynasty's foreign conquests, and the order of the King of Qin is unchangeable.

Dad knows that this appointment is probably due to Shubao's kindness. Seek a promotion for him, and then transfer him to fight under the command of King Qin with military training, which is to give him the opportunity to win the medal.

"Uncle Ke Shan, are they going too?"

Daddy nodded, although the White Deer Che Riding Mansion is subordinate to the Banner Army, but King Qin is not only the general of Tiance, but also the general of the Twelve Guards, nominally all the Weifu troops of the Tang Dynasty, except for the emperor's forbidden army and the prince's Donggong guard, the King of Qin can command and transfer.

"The king of Huai'an, the king of Yi'an and the king of Yanjun were defeated one after another, the situation in Hebei and Shandong was erosive, and the king of Qin asked for the command of the army several times. The crown prince can't stop it, and His Majesty has already allowed King Qin to go on the expedition. This time, in addition to the old government under the command of King Qin, dozens of military government soldiers in Guanzhong were also mobilized to accompany the expedition. Bailu Mansion is also on the list, except for one class and one group staying in the military government to guard, the remaining three classes are all recruited to go to the army. ā€

Daddy, their group of people who have just returned are also among the callings.

Therefore, not only Dad is going to go on the expedition, but Keshan Ke Wu is also going to go to the war, and there are nearly 30 government soldiers in Zhangjiagou, and 20 are among them.

"Going on the expedition right away?"

"It's not so fast, although the military order has come down, there are still a lot of preparations to be made. It will take a lot of time to raise grain and grass and gather government soldiers, and it is estimated that it will be half a month at the earliest. ā€

Half a month later, it's mid-October, and half a month later it's early November.

It's freezing cold, and it's really not a good time to send troops at this time.

But the situation in Hebei and Shandong really made Li Tang unable to sit still. From Gao Kaidao in Beiping, to Liu Heimin in Hebei, and Xu Yuanlang in Shandong, dozens of states in the entire east are in flames.

Even the Turks were ready to move at this time, and there was already intelligence to prove that Liu Heimin had already received the secret support of the Turks.

The Tang Dynasty now has to quickly suppress and quell the Kwantung Rebellion, and at the same time has to guard against the Turks in the north, and it can't tear its face with the Turks.

In this case, the more the Tang Dynasty needed to quell the Kwantung Rebellion in a short period of time. Because of this, the crown prince Li Jiancheng could no longer stop Li Shimin from going on the expedition, and Li Yuan had to use Li Shimin's trump card.

Zhang Chao thought about it, something was wrong.

The last time he checked the historical materials on his computer's hard drive, Li Shimin obviously did not send troops until February next year.

"Dad, is there any news from Uncle Li?"

"After the defeat of the King of Huai'an and the King of Yi'an, all the officials and troops of Hebei were defeated, and many state governors were captured and killed. I heard that as soon as Duke Mao withdrew from Zongcheng, Liu Heimin was killed. If you leave a day later, you will definitely be trapped. Rao is like this, Mao Gong's 5,000 men and horses retreated, but they were still caught up by Liu Heimin's vanguard, a tear killing, Mao Gong completely annihilated Liu Heimin's 1,000 cavalry pioneers, and he also lost more than 800 people before he withdrew to Liyang. ā€

"Uncle Li withdrew to Liyang?"

Another change.

In history, Li Shiji suffered a big defeat in Shenzhou, and the 5,000 men and horses were wiped out, and only one of them ran away. But now, the imperial court actually gave Li Shiji an order to retreat in advance.

Although there was still a battle, after all, only eight hundred were lost, and the main force still withdrew to Liyang.

Liu Heimin is still unstoppable, sweeping Hebei, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. But Li Shiji withdrew, and now Li Shiji still holds an elite force, guarding Liyang, nailed between Liu Heimin in Hebei and Xu Yuanlang in Shandong, so that the imperial court can maintain an important stronghold.

Zhang Chao gradually understood why Li Shimin was going to Hebei a few months earlier than in history.

Li Shimin wanted to take advantage of the fact that Lizhou was not lost, and immediately sent troops to reinforce Li Shiji and defend this advance base.

"Is the date confirmed?"

"It's almost early November."

If it was before, Dad wouldn't be so reluctant. Now, he really didn't want to leave home.

"You're so old, let me go for you." Zhang Chao couldn't help but say.

Dad smiled with relief, "Last time, Duke Mao wanted to take you to Hebei, and you went directly to the mountains." I know you don't like to fight, you can't even ride a horse, what kind of battlefield do you go to. ā€

"I can now stab thirty shots, draw a bow thirty times, and slash thirty times in one go."

"No soldier can do this. If you find any government soldier, you can stab three or five hundred shots, or even a thousand shots. You are not qualified to go to war at all. He can only draw a bow, but he can't even shoot arrows. Besides, I'm not old enough to ask my son to go on my father's place. I'm just a little reluctant to go home, and I'm not old enough to go to war. ā€

"Then I'll follow you."

"What can you do if you go with me, when you go to the battlefield, I still have to take care of you, where can I take care of it, just don't make trouble for me. Besides, someone has to take care of such a big mess at home. After I'm gone, the house will be handed over to you. ā€

Zhang Chao felt a little blocked in his heart, he was really grateful and liked his father for all the time he spent with him. This is a simple man, generous and benevolent. He is just a small person in this big era, but he is also a tall backer, a warm harbor.

There are many dazzling sparkles in him.

"You don't have to worry about me, I've fought most of my life, and I haven't fought any kind of evil battle. In that year, the three expeditions to Liaodong, the head of Liaodong and the enemy fell from the city and did not die, and later Yangzhou infighting, betrayal, lost an eye and did not die. Don't worry, you won't be fine when you go to Hebei. ā€

Dad comforted Zhang Chao in turn, "I want to follow King Qin to fight this time, although King Qin is young, but in terms of commanding troops, Wei Qinghuo is at the level of illness, the last Central Plains War, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's two families have a lot of soldiers, and they are still fighting at home, but they are not defeated by King Qin." This time in Hebei, I will be back for three or five months at most, and I will be back before next summer. ā€

"Dad, what preparations do you have to make before you go on the expedition?"

"Prepare knives, guns, armor, bows, arrows, spears, horses, mules, and dry food."

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have to bring their own equipment, and most of the equipment has to be provided by themselves. The imperial court gave the land and exempted the rent, in exchange for the government soldiers to bring their own equipment to the battlefield.

The military government has strict standards for the equipment provided by the government soldiers. If you fail to meet the standard, you will be punished.

Because the government soldiers are mainly selected by the children of wealthy families above the middle household, the government soldiers in the Sui and Tang dynasties are actually generally well equipped, and they are not comparable to those guards and green battalion soldiers in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

According to the regulations, the government soldiers needed a bow, thirty arrows and a quiver per person, and a horizontal knife. Horizontal knives and arrows are the most basic equipment of the government soldiers, and everyone is equipped with them.

In addition, you should bring your own logistics equipment, including a whetstone, felt hat, felt bag and suitcase.

In addition, when going out, each person must prepare nine buckets of wheat rice and two buckets of rice.

The imperial court prepared spears and armor for the soldiers.

If the conditions are good, you can also bring your own armor and spears.

In addition, according to the latest regulations, each group of government soldiers must also prepare six mules and horses to carry equipment.

These six mules are mainly used to carry equipment, and in addition to personal equipment, each group of ten people also needs common equipment. It includes a tent shared by ten people, two iron horse bowls, chisels, baskets, axes, pliers, etc., as well as one pot, a fire drill, a salt bag, and a mill, and three horse ropes.

The iron horse bowl is an iron lunch box, which can hold three liters, and has a heat preservation function, so you can eat hot rice in winter.

In addition to the buckets of dry food prepared by the soldiers, the food provided by the imperial court was sometimes captured on the spot and may not have shed its skin, so when going to the front, it was necessary to bring rice dumplings in case it was needed.

As for the fire drill, it is not a fire-making tool, but an opening. When fighting, the fire drill is poured with oil, ignited, and then thrown directly at the enemy position.

In addition, each is equipped with a hammer, which is a tool that can be used to open the box and pick the lock.

In short, the equipment of the Tang Dynasty soldiers was quite rich.

The government soldiers received the military order to assemble at the military office, and then went to the state to gather with other called government soldiers in the state, and finally arrived at the capital or the point of convergence.

After the convergence, all the soldiers had to be reorganized and assigned generals.

Each unit, in addition to the combat arms, will also be equipped with logistics support personnel in a seven-to-three ratio. Combat units, on the other hand, are often divided into cavalry and infantry. There will also be crossbowmen, sword and shield bearers, etc. in the infantry.

Because it was the beginning of the founding of the country, the government soldiers were all assigned to the fields, and they could also get meritorious services in battles, and there were few taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the government soldiers were all rich children, so the equipment of the government army in the early Tang Dynasty was generally very good, and the combat effectiveness was generally very strong.

Not only are there a lot of cavalry, but even the infantry has a lot of horses and mules to carry heavy equipment, and they have strong mobility. In terms of individual equipment, horizontal swords and bows and arrows are standard, and the ratio of spears and shields provided by the imperial court is also very high, and even iron armor such as Mingguang armor can reach more than sixty percent.

"Steam some wheat rice, everything else is ready-made." Daddy said with a smile.
