For an army to be strong, the necessary training is essential. In addition to training www.biquge.info military discipline is the top priority. Supplemented by a perfect meritorious service reward system and a bereavement pension system, only then can a declining soldier become an elite soldier.

Lu Chengqi, who already had some experience, slowly realized the mystery. He didn't know that the thinking of the ancients was not like that of later generations, and the training methods that Lu Chengqi thought had an effect were actually just the credit of the perfect reward and promotion system, and it had nothing to do with other training and military discipline.

At this time, the soldiers did not have any concept of family and country, if they used any sense of honor to stimulate them, they would not understand what the Spring and Autumn Righteousness, the country and the nation were. There are even bold ones, but they will ask: "Why are there more Han people than Khitans in the Liao Kingdom?" ”

Indeed, among the Liao State, Han people are the majority. These Khitans really deserve to die, but what about the Han people above the Liao State? They are the slaves of the Khitans, and they are regarded as "two-legged sheep", do these Han people also deserve to die?

The question was too complex for them to answer. For these soldiers, it is already great news that they can receive the full amount of money on time every month. As for the problem of the sense of honor, what they value more is to return to their hometowns in fine clothes, be promoted to the rank of marquis, hug each other from front to back, and have a group of wives and concubines, which makes others jealous, I am afraid that this is the sense of honor in the minds of these soldiers!

Lu Chengqi is not a professional soldier, so he naturally doesn't understand the real thoughts of the soldiers of this era. Later generations used means such as protecting the family and defending the country to stimulate the sense of mission of the soldiers and enhance the so-called cohesion and combat effectiveness. And in this era, as long as a sentence of fame is only taken from the horse, it is really a hero's husband, he can grasp the heart of the soldier firmly, and when he fights, he can stimulate the bloody nature of the soldier who is not afraid of death. I don't know if it's the need of the times or the drive of interests......

Lu Chengqi spends so much time and does ideological work, but in fact, the effect of brainwashing is limited. It's better for him to make a promise himself, "As long as you get the credit, I will reward you all!" If someone withholds your credit, report it to the Inspectorate and I will deal with it myself. "It worked. Of course, the monthly salary is indispensable, so that you can eat enough and dress warmly every day. Let these forbidden soldiers who have undergone new training have a hope, so that the forbidden soldiers who are already tired and half dead can grit their teeth and persevere.

It can be said that Lu Chengqi is crooked, and only then can he be regarded as training a strong army. This strong army also proves that its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the ordinary nomadic army. If the border army and the Xiang army of the whole country can be like the 100,000 forbidden army and the 100,000 forbidden army auxiliaries, Lu Chengqi will really have a chance to conquer the grassland.

Lu Chengqi listened absentmindedly to Xiao Huangmen's reply, but his eyes were fixed in the direction of the forbidden army camp, and he didn't know what he was thinking......

At this moment, Lu Chenhuan came back from his smirk, and finally remembered what he was going to do now. Hurriedly ordered 20,000 foot soldiers, prepared the food and grass needed for the march, and the weapons they carried, and prepared to go to Taiyuan Mansion to exterminate the so-called armed forces selling illicit salt. The Taiyuan Wang family, this is the largest group that monopolizes official salt and secretly sells illicit salt. According to the secret report of the Supervision Department, there are more than 1,000 private soldiers in the Wang family's captivity. There are not only weapons such as knives and guns, but even bows and crossbows that the imperial court strictly forbade the use of by the people, there seem to be a lot.

The Wang family is so arrogant, how can Lu Chengqi not exterminate it? If the head of the Wang family can break his wrist and bear the guilt, maybe Lu Chengqi can still open the net. Otherwise, just because the Wang family sold green salt and well salt to the Liao State, controlled the price of salt, colluded with thieves, and incited the scholars to make trouble, it was enough to exterminate the Wang family more than ten times.

It has always been a cumbersome thing for a large army to go on a campaign. As I said earlier, both soldiers and auxiliaries carry a lot of things. Fortunately, it is a hot summer, and there is no need for heavy warm clothing, otherwise it will be more troublesome, and there will be a lot more non-combat attrition.

Lu Chenhuan seems to have been influenced by the teaching of the Royal Military Academy, and his style of acting is very different. Only the 20,000 forbidden troops who went out on the expedition were given an hour to pack up their things, and then they set off. In fact, he is sincere in his meritorious service, otherwise, he would have to take one step and see two steps.

There are 20,000 forbidden troops, and there are still close to 30,000 auxiliaries, which is almost 50,000. 50,000 people is already a very large army, and for generals with average skills, they can't command all of them.

Fortunately, the middle and low-level officers of the forbidden army were very powerful, restrained their subordinates, and began to prepare for the promotion in an orderly manner. In less than an hour, nearly 50,000 forbidden troops have been prepared and ready to go out at any time.

At this time, the musket team had expanded to more than 5,000 people, and Lu Chengqi specially ordered that all the musket teams should be sent to the battlefield to test the combat ability of these musket teams.

There are more than 5,000 musket teams, and the equipment used is different from that of other soldiers. The ingenious Hongxiang-style rifle, equipped with a specially made bayonet that can be stuck on the barrel, looks particularly majestic.

Now, the soldiers of the forbidden army know the power of the musket team, and they all want to join the musket team. The last time the musket team made a great contribution and captured the cousin of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, Yelu Nerugu, and the reward he received was almost twice as much as that of other forbidden troops, how could this not make others blush?

The requirements of the partial musket team are extremely strict, and the 100,000 forbidden troops and 100,000 auxiliary soldiers are secretly competing to enter the musket team. No, there are a lot of auxiliaries in the musket team who have entered through hard training, which gives hope to many auxiliaries. The soldiers were not to be outdone, and for a while, the forbidden army seemed to have changed an army, and it was as if they were training as if they were not fatal, all because of the temptation of the treatment of the musket team, so that they could go forward and follow suit......

The newly created Hongxiang rifle is not the Hongxiang rifle of the first time to attack Youzhou. The barrel manufactured by strict quenching by the Ordnance Supervision has been more durable than that of 100 steels, and the toughness and hardness have achieved the ideal effect. The only fly in the ointment is that the production capacity is limited, and it is more difficult to manufacture the barrel after the quenching process.

Why didn't Lu Chengqi want to use artillery on the battlefield? However, the iron fan casting cannon method that was blown by the Chinese people was amazing, and the artillery cast by it was useless. After dozens of experiments, the three great scientists, Tang Xun, Shen Kuo and Su Song, found that the artillery made by the clay model or quenching process could reach the ideal. It's just that in this way, the time to cast a cannon will be greatly extended. Therefore, it is impossible to catch up with the bandits this time. If you can catch up, it would be good to train the artillery in real combat......

Lu Chengqi couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten, even if you become an emperor, it is the same......"

An hour passed quickly. Lu Chenhuan, who was riding on a tall horse, was in high spirits, waved the horse lance in his hand, and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

Nearly 50,000 forbidden troops immediately rushed to the front...... (To be continued.) )
