Upper Party Mansion, Inner Courtyard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty, you said you were going to move to the barracks? But the concubines didn't take good care of them and angered the emperor? Tang Wan's pear blossoms brought rain, and looked at Liu with a look of grievance.
Empress Dowager He also persuaded on the side: "The emperor can't live in this good and dignified mansion, why do you want to move to the barracks to suffer and suffer?" ”
"Queen Mother, Queen, don't you know, this is an extraordinary time, although we are safe for the time being, but what about the future? Maybe there will be someone else like Dong Zhuo who will threaten us. ”
"If we want not to be bullied by others, we have to have our own power, although we temporarily control the party, but it is far from enough. These sergeants are the foundation of our foothold, and before I recruited them, I told them that I would share weal and woe with them. ”
"I am now in control of the Shangdang, and I can sleep in a comfortable bed and eat exquisite food every day, but what will the soldiers think? They will say that I, the emperor, have no faith in my word, and over time, I will have no power in their hearts! Liu Wei explained to Empress Dowager He and Tang Wan.
"Okay, Your Majesty has your own ideas, and the concubines can't stop it, but Your Majesty can't stand it anymore, so come back and live!" Tang Wan wiped her tears and said.
"Well, don't worry, I won't suffer myself!" Liu Wei gently patted Tang Wan's back and comforted.
"A few of you, the emperor is still young, he went to the barracks, don't let him come nonsense, then this sword, gun, sword and halberd, it's not a joke!" Empress Dowager He commanded Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing and others.
"The Queen Mother rest assured, the minister will swear to protect His Majesty!" Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing and others gave their hands to the command.
The Shangdang military camp, established outside the city of the eldest son, was originally scattered everywhere, but in order to enhance his influence in the army and for training, Liu Wei gathered 30,000 soldiers together.
Now around Liu Wei, there are only four generals, Lu Zhi, Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing, and Yang Yansi, although there are also a few lieutenants in the court who follow him, but their abilities are mediocre, and they are also in the court, so Liu Wei only let them lead the empty position, and does not plan to let them lead the troops.
First of all, Lu Zhi, this veteran, the famous leader of the army, Liu Wei naturally waved his pen, and Lu Zhi became the supreme leader of the 30,000-strong army.
Although Commander Li Xianzhong is slightly higher than Lu Zhi, after all, his qualifications are too shallow, and it is impossible for Liu Wei to put him too high. Liu Wei had no choice but to let Li Xianzhong be Lu Zhi's deputy general and train soldiers together.
In addition, Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi are two fierce generals, although the commander is not high, Liu Wei does not want to waste these two talents, and acts as the head of the army.
In addition, in Yang Zaixing's previous life, he was the cavalry general of the Yuejia Army, the first battle of Xiaoshanghe, with 300 cavalry, a battle of 100,000 elite soldiers, although the whole army was wiped out, but also killed more than 2,000 people.
Although this is related to Yang Zaixing's bravery, it cannot be denied the bravery of the Yue family's army, although Yang Zaixing may not be able to train cavalry as powerful as the later generations of the Beiwei army, but it should not be much worse.
So, Liu Bianzai gave Yang Zaixing 5,000 men to train the cavalry, although there are only 3,000 horses now, but it does not hinder the practice of the cavalry. Sooner or later, there will be horses, but soldiers need time to practice, Liu Wei plans to train first, and if he has horses, he can directly become an army.
As for Yang Yansi, a pure brainless general, Liu Wei didn't dare to let him lead the army and train the troops alone, so he had to temporarily let him be his own guard and teach the soldiers martial arts.
In a tent, Liu Wei discussed with Lu Zhi and Li Xianzhong.
"Lu Gong, how are these soldiers?" Liu Wei asked.
"The soldiers' morale has basically stabilized, Zhang Yang's henchmen. has been killed on the spot, and it can be said that His Majesty has complete control over this army. Lu Zhi smiled.
"What about combat effectiveness?" Liu Wei said hopefully.
"In terms of combat effectiveness, it is not optimistic, when Zhang Yang was there, the management of the army was not strict, and the training was relatively lax, these soldiers can be said to be ruffians! But fortunately, this army is young and strong, and there are no old, weak, sick or disabled. Lu Zhi shook his head and said.
"A few days?" Liu Wei frowned.
"When Zhang Yang was here, there was a training in eight days, and now I plan to train in five days, and I will be able to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers soon!" Lu Zhi said with a blank expression.
"One training in five days, this is not good, I think it will be one training a day!" Liu Wei frowned.
"Ahem," Lu Zhi choked when he heard this, and after a while, Lu Zhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not, every training in five days, the soldiers have been complaining for a long time." If you train once a day, the soldiers will have to mutiny! ”
In this era, the training of soldiers is not like that of later generations, training every day, five days of training, which is already considered normal, and the training intensity of such a party is low, and it used to be trained once every eight days.
Like Qi Jiguang's Qi Jiajun in the Ming Dynasty, the two-day training was the highest intensity training in history. But Liu Wei said that he wanted to train him once a day, and Lu Zhi immediately stopped him.
"Gong Lu, what is the effect of one training in five days? How long does it take to train into an elite soldier? I have already sent out a message to Dong Yuwen, I will have to face the Xiliang soldiers in the spring of next year, the soldiers are like this, it is not easy to deal with ordinary bandits, let alone deal with the violent Xiliang army? Liu Wei dissuaded.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister doesn't agree to a day training, but the soldiers can't bear it at all!" Lu Zhi said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, one training a day is really unrealistic!" Li Xianzhong also discouraged.
"The reason why the soldiers can't accept one training a day is because they don't have the habit of it, and it's good to get used to it! I have a way to get them to be trained one day at a time! Liu Wei affirmed.
"Gather the soldiers, I want to speak! Announce the news! A few days paused.
Seeing that Liu Wei had already decided, Lu Zhi had no choice but to gather the soldiers.
On the school ground, on the high platform, Liu Bian, Lu Zhi and others stood, Liu Bian's face was like frost and said: "Xianzhong, how many drums?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, three-way drum!" Li Xianzhong's face turned red.
"Three-way drums, less than a few thousand? Although today is not the time to train, the discipline is too bad! Liu Wei's face was not very good-looking, and his voice was slightly cold.
"Zaixing, continue to beat the drum, no one is there, don't stop!" Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
Yang Zaixing was angry, and this kind of soldier also made him feel a burst of anger, and his hands exerted force, and suddenly, the deafening sound of drumming sounded throughout the barracks.
"What's going on? If you don't train today, why do you beat the drum and call me to wait? ”
"This drum has been playing for a while, there must be something big happening, let's go and take a look!
"Don't sleep, get up and beat the drums!"
"What about drumming? Isn't it not training today? ”
"Hurry up, they're all going to the school yard to assemble!"
"******, wait for me, where's my armor?"
Half an hour later, on the school ground, soldiers arrived one after another.
