Chapter 64: The Controversy Continues
Thank you again for the reward of my old partner "I look for you and spend a whole piece of youth", and thank you for the evaluation vote of "Lucifer's Long Feather" (although I don't know how many stars Lu Dao voted --#)
Stand firm for collection and recommendation votes, thank you very much!

An undisciplined person may live a nourishing life in certain times, but in the Qin Dynasty, which focuses on faith and promise, a person who chooses a position and then makes a change will inevitably be spurned. Obviously, Lu Zhe, whose concept is not quite in line with the "status quo", did not realize this, and no one has ever prompted him, and he doesn't know which day in the future Lu Dao will suffer a big loss.
The advantage of drinking the banquet is that you can make more friends, after the banquet director left in an arrogance, there were only two captains and a group of military marquis, and it didn't take long for the lieutenants to leave, and the group of military marquis who stayed behind drank even more crazy without a sense of restraint.
Wine is the bridge of friendship, and the friendship between men is often produced by pouring alcohol on each other. Most of the officers who are also military marquis will deliberately talk to Lu Zhe. Those who are qualified to be military marquis have their own experience, how can they not know that Lu Zhe will inevitably be reused in the future, and it would be a fool not to establish a friendship now.
LΓΌ Zhe learned that some military marquis had been in southern Xinjiang for a long time, and took this opportunity to learn from his colleagues about the current situation in southern Xinjiang.
Nanjun is not the southernmost county of Daqin, it is adjacent to Hanzhong, Bajun, Qianzhong, Changsha, Hengshan, and the southernmost of them is actually Qianzhong County.
Qianzhong County was established at the same time as Nanjun, and it stands to reason that the assembly site of the Southern Xinjiang Army should be set up at the front, but Daqin's control over Qianzhong County has fallen to an all-time low due to the Baiyue rebellion. Several roads into Qianzhong County were no longer clear, and for the sake of food and grass, the only way to set up a rallying point was in Nanjun.
As his colleagues narrated one by one, a picture scroll slowly took shape in Lu Zhe's mind, and the more he listened, the more he understood the current situation in southern Xinjiang.
Before the Chu State was destroyed, Baiyue was already very active, Chu State nominally owned a very large territory in the south, but in fact it was really only "nominally" owned, the actual control of the place was still in the hands of the patriarchs of the Baiyue tribes, and the relationship between the Chu State and the Baiyue tribe was similar to that of the princes and Zhou Tianzi.
After the destruction of the Chu State, the tribes of Baiyue also had to superficially subordinate Great Qin according to the tributary system, but how could Great Qin, who had been implementing the county system since Qin Xiaogong and was in full swing, accept this kind of superficial submission with autonomy? After continuous conquests, the situation began to get out of control. Later, Yue Jun's hunger strike was more like adding a fire to the already unstable southern Xinjiang, and the sound of "boom" was completely ignited.
At the end of the banquet, the drunken Lu Zhe entered the temporary tent to rest with the support of his own soldiers.
Before dawn the next day, Ren Huan ordered someone to invite him. Note that it is "please" rather than a summoning, which fully demonstrates an over-the-top level of attention.
When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army again, Ren Huan actually ordered someone to serve a bowl of meat porridge, and said with a smile: "Try the way the southerners eat." β
How do southerners eat? Lu Zhe was originally a southerner, and in the modern south, it is estimated that only Zhejiang, Liangguang and other areas have the habit of eating meat porridge in the morning, such as pure porridge and some pickles in the morning in Quanzhou, Fujian, or a few fritters and a bowl of fragrant soybean milk.
Drinking meat porridge, Ren shouted: "Tell me what you think." β
Lu Zhe, who understood what he was asking, put down the bowl in his hand and bowed before saying: "I have understood before I came, 50,000 of the 500,000 troops of the Southern Expeditionary Army are our Great Qin Force, and 450,000 are prisoners of war or criminal officers of the original Six Kingdoms and their families. Most of these 450,000 people are the elderly, the weak, women and children, and about 70,000 or 80,000 young and middle-aged people who can be trained as soldiers? β
Ren Huan was very satisfied with Lu Zhe's respectful attitude, and he nodded and corrected: "There are no seventy or eighty thousand, it is fifty-eight thousand nine hundred and sixteen young men who can be trained into an army." β
"Yes." Lu Zhe also said: "The idea of the job is like this. It takes a long time to train into an army in batches, so it is better to concentrate on training together. Nearly 60,000 young people are not trained in the traditional way of Great Qin, but for the mountains, forests and other environments. We can arrange it according to the actual situation, for example, we can train some mountain soldiers, and select people with strong skills to train them in the skills of fighting in the forest. β
Ren Huan didn't understand. The current types of troops are also the three types of troops: officers, knights, and building boats, and the mountain soldiers that Lu Zhe said are not very difficult to understand literally, they are nothing more than the arms specially used for mountain combat, but the so-called training of forest fighting skills ......?
He touched his chin and asked, "Are you talking about the fencer of the Qi Kingdom?" β
What Qi fencer? Lu Zhe explained: "This class doesn't need armor, or even Changge, we can be armed with knives and small round shields. According to my colleagues, Baiyue has a kind of person who blows arrows with bamboo pipes......"
"Knives?" It sounded like a new type of weapon, Ren Huan looked at Lu Zhe's gaze very strangely, as if he wanted to swallow Lu Zhesheng alive and peel him into his stomach: "Baiyue has such people, do you mean to learn from them?" β
As a courtesy, Lu Zheying said, "Yes, Baiyue can learn from Daqin, why can't Daqin learn Baiyue's useful tactics?" But in his heart, he was a little puzzled by Ren Huan's terrifying gaze.
Can Ren Huan not do this? He originally thought that Lu Zhe was a person who knew a little about military training, and he was not a big talent. Last night's debate again revealed that this is a very thoughtful person, but in some places it is more hypothetical, and can only be regarded as a very insightful layout hand (tactician).
Now after discussing it again, Ren Huan was surprised to find that the training of troops, the understanding of layout, coupled with an open mind, and strange and targeted arrangements, all of this is concentrated on one person, which can no longer be described as a simple talent, it should be said that he is a strange talent...... No! It should be a wizard!
"Someone! Prepare pen and ink! Ren Huan really wanted to see what the so-called knife was, and after shouting to the people outside, he looked at Lu Zhe with blazing eyes: "You can talk about it again." β
In fact, there is nothing too complicated, Lu Zhe told his thoughts one by one, and then drew the figure of the knife. He thought strangely in his heart: "Doesn't the Qin Dynasty have a sword?" β
During the Qin Dynasty, there was really no knife as a weapon, and the appearance of the knife was in the Western Han Dynasty, that is, the ring head knife designed by Liu Che in order to improve the combat power of the cavalry during the period when Liu Che attacked the Xiongnu in the north.
The knife drawn by Lu Zhe is a kind of **, with a long hilt, and then the spine is slightly curved to have a thick back. He also had an additional consideration, if the situation allowed, he could actually let the practical class of Pu Daobing appear in advance, and when the time came, the soldiers holding Teng Dun in one hand and Pu Dao in the other hand would advance like waves, and the scene would be absolutely spectacular.
A discussion lasted all morning, and Lu Zhe suddenly realized a very critical issue after coming out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Ren Huan seemed to only appoint himself to train the troops and also gave the order to mobilize the army, what about Heng Zhan? Does this person who seems to be Tu Sui's cronies also have a corresponding appointment? Or does Ren Huan exclude Heng Zhan?
Lu Zhe, who felt that he had been involved in the competition of the main and deputy commanders, thought to himself: "Nima! What's the matter......"
